Hi,
I plan to work with android. Please point me some good books and blogs/discussion/tutorials/ forums for getting vast and in depth knowledge quickly about this android technology.
I have downloaded the Android source code on my computer using the repo sync command. Since I have no experience with git and repo , I would like to know if it is possible to copy the mydroid directory (which contains Android source code) to an other computer by just burning it on a DVD and then processing the build without problems.
Thanks in advance and sorry if my question is stupid
Hi android developers!
I'm clearly a newb, and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can detect a "ring" event on my cellphone through the android sdk? Generally I want to do something with the phone when it begins ringing! Any thoughts?
If you want to simply point me to a page in the api documents that would be a good answer for me, I just don't know how to start my research!
This might sound stupid but whenever I run my app in Eclipse I get this annoying pop up asking me how to run it: Android app, JUnit, Eclipse app, etc'
I'm always running this project as an Android app, is there any way to tell Eclipse to stop asking me this.
I'm using Eclipse 3.5 on Snow Leopard.
Thanks

How do you convert an existing project into an Android project in Eclipse?
In particular, I want to convert a plain old Java project into an Android Library project.
Thanks.
I want to call android application on clicking of button on some website from mobile.
Suppose I am opening one url on android browser and I want to call my application on clicking on button provided by that site. How to do that??
I've been playing around with the iOS 7 SpriteKit APIs and I totally love them.
As I'm pretty much a n00b on Android, I'm wondering what the best Alternative would be if I wanted to go cross platform?
I find Cocos2D learning curve pretty steep, where with SpriteKit it's a matter of minutes to get something on the screen.
Then there's MonoGame and Cocos 2D for MonoGame - haven't tried either one I must admit.
Hello,
I know how to capture video on android device, but i would like to capture video and add some other information on it e.g. some funny timeclock and save it all to file so the person watching the video will see the exact time of capturing. I would also like to add some watermark.
Do you know how can i do it or is it possible on android device? I read the API but couldnt find anything that could help me.
Is it possible to implement the Model-View-Controller pattern in Java for Android? Or is it already implemented through Activities? Or is there a better way to implement the MVC pattern for Android?
I have seen the below log message when navigating to the Account & sync settings screen but I am confused as to how to create an Intent to navigate there.
INFO/ActivityManager(53): Starting activity: Intent { cmp=com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/com.android.settings.ManageAccountsSettings }
I dont seem to have access to the ManageAccountsSettings for development.
I just wanted to create an Intent such as below, but I cant call out ManageAccountsSettings
Intent i =new Intent(this,ManageAccountsSettings.class);
//Then start the activity
startActivity(intent);
Hello -
I am utilizing a version of the "Grid View" example from the Android Developers site:
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-gridview.html
And I would like to display a small text caption below each of the images.
Can someone please give an example of how this might be accomplished (i.e. what needs to be edited)?
Thanks!
Hi, I made an android application with googlemap api, and draw some 16x16 png (about 200 count) on overlay. When I move or zoom on/in mapview, "out of memory" error occurs very often.
I also used the googlemap appication in my htc itself. Seams that it uses about 14+MB memmory, and never happens "out of memory".
How to save memmory usage in a googlemap api, or how to enlarge android api memmory limit.
Thanks a lot!
In Android developers I've seen that testPreconditions() method is supposed to be launch before all tests. But in my app test, it's acting like a normal test. It does not run before all tests. Is there something wrong ?
Here is the description about testPreconditions() from android developer :
"A preconditions test checks the initial application conditions prior to executing other tests. It's similar to setUp(), but with less overhead, since it only runs once."

I would like to move a CheckBox, so it displays in a different location than the top-left corner under Absolute Layout inside main.xml, for 'Android'. I'm using Eclipse to edit my views. How would I do this?
On an iPhone they have a tool called Interface builder that allows you to move things in a WYIWYG fashion.
Does Eclipse have similar functionality?

I know iPhone development fairly well. From personal experience, how hard would it be for me to get into Android. I am concerned less about code than I am about distribution of my software, given the fragmentation of the Android OS on compatible devices.
Hi,
I'm looking at jumping on the band-wagon and knock out a couple iPhone and Android apps.
I'm not a complete beginner as I have programmed in quite a few languages, with my current focus on PHP and Drupal development, but I have not developed for either the iPhone or Android before.
I have downloaded the respective SDKs, but I was hoping to find some good quality tutorials that with step-by-step guides getting your development environment up and building your first app.
Hi,
Tried posting this at android dev, wanted to go here too in case anyone knows. I'm trying to supply a custom background drawable for a dialog. I've created the following in my styles.xml file:
<style name="CustomDlg" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/my_background</item>
</style>
This works fine on 1.6+. On my g1 running 1.5 (and the 1.5 emulator) the drawable is used, but the area around the dialog is opaque black instead of being translucent.
Is there something I'm missing here, or is this a bug with 1.5? Any work arounds? Is 1.5 just the ie6 of Android?
Thanks
Does anyone know a good step by step tutorial for using sqlite on Android?
I've found this: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#db and it ok to start with, but then it wants me to jump into other source code then its difficult to follow.

Advice greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to download a folder and its contents using air for android? I would like to also use the same code on iPhone.
I need it to be stored in the application storage so we can reference the content once downloaded.
I know it's possible to download content as referenced in this question: Download Content using Air For Android
but can a person download the entire folder and again store it in the application directory?
Thanks

I've seen others discussing printing labels with a dedicated label printer using Java.
Is there any way to print labels using a regular printer with label paper using (optimally) Android libraries/API? If not, is there any way to do this in a non-mobile context using Java?
Searching for "Java Label Printing" is only turning up the aforementioned dedicated label printing bits, which aren't quite what I'm looking for.
