I am interested in trying some Android Development and I've not had much luck getting started. I'm not much of a Linux person but I have an Ubuntu box setup that I attempted to install the android SDK and plugins for Eclipse. But I'm not having much luck getting it setup. I'm looking for some guidance for what would be the best way for...
Has anyone managed to use ItemizedOverlays in Android Beta 0.9? I can't get it to work, but I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or if this functionality isn't yet available. I've been trying to use the ItemizedOverlay and OverlayItem classes. Their intended purpose is to simulate map markers (as seen in Google Maps Mashups) but I...
Has anybody managed to get the Android Emulator working behind a proxy which requires authentication? I've tried setting the -http-proxy argument to http://DOMAIN/USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP:PORT but am having no success. I've tried following the docs to no avail. I've also tried the -verbose-proxy setting but this no longer seems to exi...
I am interested in writing applications for the iPhone and the Android platform. I was hoping to find a middleware / framework that abstracted away some of the differences in the APIs and allow me to specify the target platform at build time. Is there such a framework existing or planned? ...
I have an activity which has a TabHost containing a set of TabSpecs each with a listview containing the items to be displayed by the tab. When each TabSpec is created, I set an icon to be displayed in the tab header. The TabSpecs are created in this way within a setupTabs() method which loops to create the appropriate number of tabs: T...
Have any well-documented or open source projects targeted iPhone, Blackberry, and Android? Are there other platforms which are better-suited to such an endeavor? Note that I am particularly asking about client-side software, not web apps, though any information about the difficulties of using web apps across multiple mobile platforms is ...
Coming from J2ME programming are there any similarities that would make it easy to adapt to Android API. Or is Andorid API completely different from the J2ME way of programming mobile apps. ...
I like the Android platform. Actually, with some friends, we even participate to the ADC with the Spoxt project. But Java is not my favourite language at all. We are working on a S60 version and this platform has a nice Python API. Of course there is nothing official about Python on Android, but since Jython exists, does anybody know a ...
I've been playing around with OpenGL ES development on Android. OpenGL ES applications seem to run slowly in the Emulator on my development machine. Does this reflect likely performance of actual hardware? I'm concerned about spending too much time developing an application if the graphics performance is going to be sluggish. ...
I have two threads in an Android application, one is the view thread, and the other a worker thread. What i want to do is to sleep the worker thread until the view thread terminates the handling of the onDraw method. How i can do this? is there a wait for a signal or something? ...
So, I'll be getting my T-Mobile G1 within a month or so, and I'm excited to start developing for it. Has anyone started using it yet? Is there a dev wiki or anything set up for it yet? ...
I'm doing some Android dev, and I much prefer Visual Studio, but I'll have to use Eclipse for this. Has anyone made a tool that switches Eclipse to look and behave more like visual studio? I mainly can't stand its clippyesqe suggestions on how I should program (Yes, I know I have not yet used that private field! Thanks Eclipse!), or its...
Does anyone know of any existing projects that aim to port Android's Java VM over to the iPhone? From what I understand, this wouldn't be too out of reach and would certainly make for some exciting developments. Edit: I should point out that I am aware this will not happen using the official iPhone SDK. However, a jailbroken platform wo...
I've been playing around with the Android SDK, and I am a little unclear on saving an applications state. So given this minor re-tooling of the 'Hello, Android' example: package com.android.hello; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.TextView; public class HelloAndroid extends Activity { /...

I was trying following example but with external URLs: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/09/using-webviews.html The example shows how to load an HTML file from assets folder (file:// url) and display it in a webview. But when I try it with external URLs (like http://google.com), I am always getting a "Website Not Available"...
To all 4 Android developers out there :) Is it possible to create a simple 3D model (for example in 3DS MAX) and then import it to Android somehow? I work in Eclipse with Android plugin, if that's of any importance. If so, do you know any tutorials/resources explaining how to do it? ...

I know that you can run almost all Java in Dalvik's VM that you can in Java's VM but the limitations are not very clear. Has anyone run into any major stumbling blocks? Any major libraries having trouble? Any languages that compile to Java bytecode (Scala, Jython etc...) not work as expected? ...
