This is the second time this has happened to me now. I changed the starting activity of my app, and put out an update, and now the icon on people's phone will not open my app. The only way they can open it is through the downloads section of their Android Market app, or if they uninstall and reinstall the app, causing them to lose ALL th...

I have an application written in Delphi and ported to C# that makes extensive use of delegates (which allows me to add new modules easily). I think it would make a great Android phone app, but Java does not do delegates natively. I've seen a couple of examples of Java codes that tries to do delegates using reflection, but that does not s...

Hi there, I guess this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find a proper answer/solution. Have a note-taking app, which allows to take pictures. For that I start an intent, that starts up the built-in camera-app. So far so good. But when I show that image in my app, it's in a much smaller format :( The funny/weird thi...
