Hi all.
We've got a pretty large app with millions of installs. What we've
noticed is that there are always ANRs reported, even in questionable
conditions. For example, we see ANRs in the most simple of broadcast
receivers, where there are only 4 lines of code, and no networking or
file IO. The

it starts, and 2. how often it repeats.

Hi all. I was wondering what would happen in the following scenario:
Your application schedules a service or any type of pending event on
the AlarmManager. Let's say it repeats every 24 hours at noon. If an
application update is available, and the user updates the application

This is irrelevant. Activities, by default, are destroyed when

When the user switches between these activities, they are at the

A2 , or A3, they leave the app (or task).

If you fix it in your own build.xml file, then everyone who checks out
the project will be able to build the project correctly, without
having to change the SDK Tools local to their machine.

In the latest Android SDK Tools (revision 8), ProGuard has been
integrated into the ant build. This is easier to set up than it was
before (http://www.androidengineer.com/2010/07/optimizing-obfuscating-

disabled by default.

Outputting just a % sign? Probably %%.
Or, you can leave it as 3% and add formatted="false".

Dear Google,
You are really cool and all. You must be working really hard on this
Android thing because I see updates every few months. But every time
you come out with a new update to the Android SDK, you break my app.

First of all, I find it odd that the encoding is even specified at
all. Why not just leave it as the default system encoding?
Secondly, if one is going to specify an encoding, then it should NOT
be ascii. It should be UTF-8. After all, the files themselves are
not ascii, they are UTF-8 (or Cp12

I believe that you are expecting the IntentServices to act like
threads. You will not have multiple instances of an IntentService run
at the same time. From the documentation at

There are many more project directories that make up the Android

You might get it to work if you request the focus for EditText on

add a tag inside the EditText's XML layout.
