    Just released - Cool Valentines Day Live Wallpaper

    I just released a Valentines Day live wallpaper on Google Play, called "Cool Valentines Live Wallpaper". It's a 99 cent app., and requires at least Android 2.2 (Froyo), so anyone with an Android these days should be able to use it. I developed and tested it on a wide range of Android displays...

    About to post: UltraCamPro Camera app

    I am getting ready to release a new camera app called UltraCamPro. I designed this camera app from day one to support every standard (i.e., documented) feature that the Android cameras support, and support them to the fullest. Have a 16 MP camera, but have trouble sometimes saving photos...

    "Iconia TAB Update Enhancement"

    Ok, I installed this from the Market this morning, after finally seeing the post in XDA about how to actually find it (My Apps, scroll to bottom, and if it's not installed, it'll be in the Not Installed section). Does anyone have any idea what this "update enhancement" is, and what it does...

    Help Rear camera color noise, varies with reboots

    My A500's rear (main) camera has been exhibiting some really, really odd behavior lately, and it changes when the device is rebooted. It has to do with color noise in both the preview and the final image. On the left 1/3 of the image, in ALL white balance modes EXCEPT incandescent (where it...

    Any updates (from reliable sources) on ICS?

    Has anyone gotten any updates (from a reliable source, e.g., Acer) on when ICS will come out for the A500? Are we still expecting it by the end of this month (only a few days left....)? Later, --jim

    Help How do I restore sync'ed settings after a reset?

    Per Acer tech support's instructions (followed carefully line by line), I sync'ed my apps and settings, and did a reset to fix GPS (that part is the only thing that worked). Acer tech support told me that my app settings and data would ALL be restored after I logged back in to my google...

    Help How do I install/move apps on/to sdcard?

    My A500 doesn't have the usual Applications menu item for moving apps between the internal storage and the sdcard. How do I do this? Or, is this just not an option on the A500? Thanks, --jim

    Working FTP server for A500?

    Actually, there are two questions here...one regarding FTP, the other about mounting a Samba//SMB filesystem via the A500. It turns out that I was wrong about having USB copying working. I got a list of files under the device name, but could not do anything with it. So now, I'm having...

    USB connection to computer: not mounting

    I just got my Acer Iconia A500 earlier today, and am now trying to transfer files that I already backed up from my old tablet (which is about to be wiped and sent in for warranty repair). When I connect my tablet's microUSB to the computer's USB, the computer (winxp) wants to see it as a new...

    Archos 101 questions

    I just bought an Archos 101 Internet tablet (16GB) and have a few questions (too curious to wait). :-) I was going to save up for a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (longer term) to have a top-rate tablet to take with me in case cancer strikes at me again. Cancer beat me to it. But, reading the ratings...

    ultimate Android tablet?

    I am facing the possibility of being back in the hospital as an in-patient, if tests next week show what blood tests last week suggest (that cancer is trying to kill me again). If I'm able to get the money to buy one, and that's a HUGE if, is there an Android tablet that meets most or all of...

    Point Lobos Gallery [App - Photography]

    I have just published my first app, Point Lobos Gallery. This app is a set of 39 images from a larger photo set I shot at Point Lobos State Preserve in California (a bit north of Redwood City...how far north, I can't remember), ca. 1990. All photos in this app were shot with what was then...

    two vastly different charts showing user base vs 'Droid version

    I'm curious about something. Just a week or two ago, I saw a charge (didn't check the age on it) that indicated that Android versions 1.5 and 1.6 each accounted for about 1/3 of the total user base. Just a little while ago, on the developers forum, I saw one that showed Android version 2.2...

    Apps Conversion to Dalvik format, error 1, blah blah...one cause/solution found!

    Sorry for the repost on this (I posted this same info at the end of another thread), but IMHO, this seems like a common-enough problem that I would really like to make sure this one cause/solution is seen by anyone looking for it. B Lyon, in the developers forum, deserves a billion thanks for a...

    Apps Question for developers who've read O'Reilly book, Learning Android

    This question is for any developers here who used the O'Reilly book, "Learning Android" while learning to develop for the Android. Did you, in Chapter 6 (I'm just moving on to the "Threading in Android" section), get your Yamba project to build without getting the "Yamba] Conversion to...

    Apps Lost in Ch 6 of "Learning Android"

    EDIT 10 May 2011 0650 CDT: This part of the post is no longer relevant. I found and fixed the error that was causing the errors here using diff to compare my code vs the online code from the book. The question now involves the Eclipse errors (at least, they *LOOK* like internal Eclipse errors...

    Any interest in photograph apps?

    I'm working on putting together a collection of favorites from my photography to put in an app, for viewing and/or wallpaper (not live wallpaper, just plain wallpaper). A few of these won honorable mentions at a Hurlburt Field (USAF Special Operations) photography contest, and one of them...

    Help need an app to adjust screen to be visible outside on a sunny day

    My Motorola Bravo (MB520) is set to automatically adjust the screen brightness depending on ambient light. HOWEVER, when I'm outside, on an even moderately sunny day (even in the shade), the screen is anywhere from nearly impossible to see, to completely impossible to see.... Is there an...

    Help Touchscreen sensitivity

    I am in SERIOUS need of a way to adjust the touch sensitivity on my Motorola Bravo. It WAS great. Then there was that horrible update to 2.2.1 (which nuked more settings, etc., than I ever thought it would---I thought it saved all of those and restored them). After 2.2.1, I sometime have...

    Help Install MY apps from SDCARD...HOW?

    I'm just getting into app development, and cannot get the virtual device working on my computer (and it would seem that nobody can tell me why). I am, therefore, trying to install stuff I've written (so far, just Hello World, but I have other things in mind, too) from the SDcard, but the...

    Apps Developing without the AVD?

    Since I'm having no success at getting the AVD to show results from Hello World (as mentioned in yesterday's post (which I apparently put in the wrong group...sorry...still making newbie mistakes), something is causing it to peg the CPU at 100% ... something which is clearly an error on my part...

    I've been trying for days to get the AVD up and running just to get started with the Hello World example from the Android developer site (Hello, World | Android Developers). After a reboot last night, with only Mozilla running, I started Eclipse again, and deleted and re-did the Hello World...
