Hello Devs,
I'm considering whether to put my apps on Handango, if only for the
marketing benefits. On the android market I have a demo and a paid
version of my app but on Handango there is a possibility of having a
shareware setup where a user downloads the full version after the
trial runs out.
This is by design and it's to save battery life. If the phone cannot
sleep then the battery will discharge very quickly and your app will
be a battery drain. I was coding a timer myself and Mark recommended
that I use notification manager for long-term timing instead and it
was good advice.
I sugg
I'm using windows 7 64 bit and although it wasn't 100% straighforward
there are no dealbreakers. I'm using 64 bit java and it works fine
although my java_home is c:\glassfishv3\jdk. Eclipse doesn't install
anywhere, you simply run the executable from wherever it's unzipped,
so put it in program fil
I've seen a 50% drop in sales in the same timeframe. Not that my sales
were huge before but I had a 5 day period with no sales at all and
since then it's been a trickle. I've got promo graphics, feature
graphics, the works.

I don't have a bad perception of my users, I was just being

No arguments here. I know it's not going to defeat all freetards but

Shared Preferences is a handy tool, the only problem is that as far as
I can tell it only works on files in the app directory. Is there a way
to use shared preferences on a different directory? I've tried simply
putting a path in the file string but that crashes.

In other words there's no way to protect my app from the user simply
deleting app data, and the only solution is for me to build my own
licensing server?
Thanks google, you guys think of everything.

I have an image and I want to make parts of it clickable. From my
research I can see 2 ways to do this:
1) I could chop the image into pieces and put them into a relative
layout
2) I could create a matrix of points that describe the clickable areas
and use onTouch events to track clicks

It looks like there's a bug on Froyo where the user can clear app data
even if allow clear user data is false in the manifest. I would like
to put out a demo that stops working after a certain amount of usage
and the simplest way is to put a counter in shared preferences (or
another file) somewhere
There's an app for that!

I recently did my own LVL implementation and I can tell you that
tracing these issues down is a real pain. First you need to put loads
of logging into the LVL code to find out what the actual response is,
otherwise you have no visibility, then you have to put logging into

It's bizzare, they have designed a system for testing that cannot be
used to accurately test an application's response!
The only solution is to publish an app that doesn't work and then fix
it! What are they thinking? ARE they thinking?

Hello Devs,
I'm working on an LVL implementation and I want to use as many
different device identifiers as I can. I have considered using IMEI
numbers but I've discarded that because a) it's intrusive and b) not
all devices will have them.

Actually, upon further review I think I misunderstood key events, I
don't think that approach is right at all.
It looks like I will need to use touch events.

I have an app that uses seekbars with buttons on either side for fine
adjustments. Right now I use simple onclick events for the buttons,
every click changes the seekbar 1 unit.
What I would like to do is use a long press to quickly scroll, so if a
user holds down a button for say 800 millis it wi
I would be reading the data in once and no modifications would be
made.

I'll have a look, thanks for the suggestion. The trick will be to hide
the key in such a way as to make it difficult to find, I'm hoping a
combination of proguard and additional obfuscation of my own will do
the trick.

I'm not sure if that is practical. If I created a public/private
keypair as part of the app it would be accessible to the user and
could be used to decrypt the data. The only way that would work is if
there was a way to protect the public/private keypair, and I'm not
sure how to go about doing that
