Yeah, I think it's all just earlier in the process than we'd like. I think that we might all agree that the key for success now is real phones, running solid V1 Android OS, with more carriers signed up and the start at a marketplace for innovative software. If they have to cut back on the SDK it

Kill the emulator and eclipse, and then kill adb.exe (on windows at least, and you use Task Manager/Processes to do it)... Restart works reliably after that. On May 17, 9:57 am, Amos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This (logCat messages not appearing all of a sudden) happens > frequently to me. I n

I have code where one application creates a file "world readable" and then passes the absolute path to another app via a service binding. The other app can read the file. I'm hoping that what you say below implies that this will continue to work, more or less. Thanks, Jim On Apr 30, 9:44 am,

I didn't use fully-qualified classname, I used classname starting with a 'dot' relative to the manifest package. That is, in the top level tag, the package attribute might have value "com.jjj.myapp" and in the tag, the android:name attribute might have value ".MyApplication" where the ful

I don't believe that log4j is supported. I wrote a simple, nifty wrapper for android Log, and it works really well with their filitering features: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/fd7cb81eb02af048/ I evangelize it. Jim On Apr 8, 10:21 am, kobica <[EMAIL PROTE

See this post for a simple log4j-like wrapper, which also makes it easier to filter to see your apps logs. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/fd7cb81eb02af048/ I think it's great :-) On Mar 29, 10:43 am, Zach Hobbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > android.util.Log >

I think low-level image processing in java will remain slow in this generation; if the 2d API can't do it for you, you might have to wait a gen. But as for measuring performance, do we believe the emulator maps accurately to any particular hardware device? In the past, some emulators have shown
