We continue to build our fairly small applications on Android, iPhone and other mobile operating systems. This is fine and fun in the beginning of a new era, but when mobile OS matures, gets to be the preferred device for business people in motion, they want something more.

Currently I've been using google's static maps to display maps in a phonegap app I'm developing. But I'm wondering if there's any way to load a google map that the user could scroll into and out of? I would want similar functionality as the maps app in most mobile environments. Is there any way to incorporate that type of service into my...
I want to have my application periodically save a zip file to the cloud. Since I don't want to set my own cloud solution, I thought of doing something similar to what the application SMS Backup does. It saves your Gmail credentials and when a new sms arrives it saves it to your Gmail under a specified Label and also marks it as read. N...

Hi everyone, I have a soundboard uploaded on the android market. The app is doing pretty well in the market(50,000+ downloads), but the developer console reports that I have an error, and this is bothering me. All crash reports come from only one device - Motorola Droid. I've looked at what the error actually is, and it happens when I ...
I'm developing on a Droid, version 2.1-update1. My supported GL extensions include GL_OES_point_sprite and GL_OES_point_size_array. I am unable to get point sprites to render.

I'm an experienced Java programmer and I've followed the Hello World tutorial word for word. However, the emulator loads up but the apps do not. I tried the Hellow World app and a sample project GestureActivity. Each time only the emulator works. My computer is reasonably fast and I've waited at least 10-20 minutes on occasions. Is thi...
I'm trying to use gluLookAt in an Android app to move the "camera" around, but I'm not seeing any results.

So here's the relevant part of ...
