I have android:screenOrientation="portrait" set for my activity. Creating an AVD with resolution 800x480 and running my activity, the GLSurfaceView is created with dimensions 800x480 (ie. not rotated and width > height). I would expect it to be created with dimensions 480x800 and be rotated 90 degrees. Is this a bug in the emulator or ...
I'm looking into creating a widget that supports animation, ideally via the android.view.animation framework, otherwise by setting properties on the remote views in code triggered from a background service. Does anyone have any experience with either of these approaches, and is what I'm trying doable, or am I heading up a blind alley? ...
I've read on Reto Meier's blog that he doesn't recommend the use of modal "Loading..." dialogs in Android applications. Is this a general consensus among developers? If I have a login screen what should I display when the user tries to sign in? Until now, I have used a "Signing in..." indeterminate progress dialog. Should I use the app...

The width of currently shown view is decreased slowly to zero and after that the width of the view-to-be-shown must be increased from zero.

We can add it in (by analogy with other "first" Android projects we've done), but as this file is auto-generated, anything we do like that just gets overwritten ultimately. public static final class id { ...
As the title says, every time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does. I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText. <?xml...
