Hi Android/Google,
If my app uses MediaCodec to encode MP4 videos that our users create would
I have to worry about licensing MP4 or is that covered by the device
instead?
I plan on using WebM wherever possible, but it seems that some devices are
missing that encoder.
Thanks!

In-app billing doesn't seem to be working on 1.6 & 2.1. I'm testing

Hello. I tried posting this earlier, but it didn't seem to stick (so

My app occasionally runs out of memory when loading bitmaps. I call
recycle() on every bitmap I'm done with and even set them to null.

Hi All,
There are other posts on this subject, but no real answer anywhere.
The issue:
SQLiteDatabase.update(...) takes anywhere from 30ms to 700ms on a
simple update (on a Motorola Droid). I'm not sure why there's such a
huge range in the timing, but despite that it still means that in the
best
the call back in to setErrorCallback() and try
ignoring errors when they're id is 0.
Somewhat unsatisfying, as I still don't know what's causing the errors
- but it'll have to do for now.

Howdy all,
I've developed a camera-based app, but am experiencing apparent white
balance (over balance?) issues on Motorola Droid. I'm using previews
and auto-focus before taking the picture - with takePicture() being
called from a thread within onAutoFocus().
If I pass the camera in front of a b
m or something like that), the you need to disable dithering on the
given image. In my case disabling it on the Drawable was satisfactory:
drawable.setDither( false );

howdy,
i'm prepping my first app for publishing and am a bit confused about
how to properly test my tags.. if i don't specify
any permissions my app runs with no complaints on my G1. I tried
installing it via "adb install" as well as with the eoeAppInstaller
(as somebody had recommended). Also,
not happy with this solution (since it disables all notification
sounds!), but it works:
((AudioManager)systemService).setStreamMute
( AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true/false );
make sure you re-enable this at onPause or you'll piss some people
off!

When I set the camera picture size to 176x144 or 352x288 the camera
preview gets garbled/discolored "after" (it's fine at first)
onPictureTaken (onPictureTaken calls startPreview after saving the
JPEG in order to restart the preview). This does not happen with any
other resolution
