On the iPhone/iPod touch, settings could be kept in the Settings.app. Can you do this in Android? Or must you settings have to be in the actual appilcation?
I want a TextView to have a rounded border. This can be done by using a drawable, specifying a shape in the drawable, and then using the drawable as the background of the TextView. android:background="@layout/border" Also shown here
However, my TextView already has a background color (which is gray) and thus I'm unable to use the above method to set a rounded border.
Is there any other method to do this which allows the background color of the TextView to remain gray and also surrounds it with a rounded border?

I'm developing a native app for Android and I'm trying to use functions such as glIsEnabled which appear to be only available in OpenGL ES 1.1. Google's docs claim that NDK 1.6R1 supports OpenGL ES v1.1 but the function call fails with "unimplemented Open GL ES API" and if i do a glGetString(GL_VERSION) it returns "OpenGL ES 1.0 CM" as the version.
So if 1.1 is available, what do I have to link against to get it or what else do i need to change to get it?

What are some things you wish you had known about Android when you first started out or before you published your first app on the market? I am nearing completion on my first and am starting to make sure I have crossed my proverbial Ts and dotted the Is
does anyone know what part of the opengl es thread on an android device runs on the gpu (if it has one). just the method calls you make with the GL10 adapter class? or the complete onDraw method in your custom Renderer class?
I have an android app that periodically, say once a week downloads content from a server in XML. The content is used by the app, different Acitivities use different parts of the content.
My question is a design one, should I save the data in SQlite or just keep it as an XML file, which one would be faster to read?
The app can only use one content piece at a time, which means subsequent XML content downloads replace the old one.

I have noticed a lot of the use of @Override in Android example code. I thought that all Java methods were by default "Virutal"?
What then does @Override do?
Example:
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
Android is an open source operating system that is modified by cell phone vendors (HTC, Motorola, etc.). Modifications include the user interface, drivers, and other proprietary extensions.
Traditionally, product lines have been a suite of products or services that share a core set of functionality and are modified for different domains and markets.
Does this still qualify as a product line?
I've got a string:
public://imageifarm/3600.jpg
How can I extract the
imageifarm/3600.jpg
Part out using android?
What I've tried so far:
URL drupalQuestionNodeImageURI = new URL("public://imageifarm/3600.jpg");
Log.d("TAG", drupalQuestionNodeImageURI.getPath());
but it throws this exception:
09-16 17:24:39.992: W/System.err(3763): java.net.MalformedURLException: Unknown protocol: public
How can I solve this?
I know I can use regular expressions but that seems to defeat the purpose of URL(URI) in this case.

Is there a way to change the sync settings of a Gmail account programmatically with an Android app? For instance, I'd like to enable/disable syncing of a Gmail account from my app, without the user having to do anything.
I took a look at AccountManager, but that doesn't seem to be the right place to look.
I'm trying to build a voip application on a new android device, i use AudioRecorder to read the microphone but I'm getting no valid results, just white noise.
This happen only on this new device(other work well) and this is probably because this device has PTT ability.
Is there some workaround to avoid using AudioRecoder to receive streaming data from the microphone?
Thanks.

What would be the best way to write an app for the iPhone OS and the Android OS that allows access to a web blog (posted on blogspot.com)? Are there ways to manipulate the incoming data from the website to fit the UI of the phones, or will I have to re-do a lot of the blogs?
Any help would be nice! And thank you in advance!

I'm used to handle graphics with old-school libraries (allegro, GD, pygame), where if I want to copy a part of a bitmap into another... I just use blit.
I'm trying to figure out how to do that in android, and I got very confused.
So... we have these Canvas that are write-only, and Bitmaps that are read-only? It seems too stupid to be real, there must be something I'm missing, but I really can't figure it out.
I'm looking to create a simple form with some textfields and a button using the Android SDK. Could someone point out a good example or tutorial for getting started?
