Does your question 1 refer to the step in installation where you use the AVD and SDK Manager to install build target packages? If so, you can choose to install all of them without using up too much space on a big machine. If you install all of the build targets you will be sure to be compatible wit

I should add that you would have to get the launcher to update by broadcasting an intent with the action ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED. But that should be a general way to implement what Sense UI does by changing app icons. On Jun 5, 10:42 pm, Zigurd wrote: > Try Live > Wallpaper

Gubatron's solution works, but necessarily because of the udev rules file. He also has you restart the adb server as root. That, by itself will work, but it is a workaround until you can figure out the correct udev rules for your system. I have a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules that

Maybe an audible cue that they are about to navigate back out? But, as others have said, that navigation should have no bad consequences, so the user need not be aware of it. While a "home" navigation in the option menu is not desirable, that would be one way to enable your users to return to the

All current Android phones have touch-screens. However, Android's UI is designed to be operated using the d-pad, moving a "focus" and using a select button as well as by touch. I think all the standard apps that are part of most Android phones can work without touch. If, for example, you consider

My not-very-elegant "solution" indicates this is a permission issue. The udev rule appears to set permissions, so it probably isn't being run. It would be nice to verify the udev rule match, but I'm a udev n00b and can't find what the ATTRS (formerly SYSFS) rule is supposed to match. --~--~---
