HTC Camera

Hi,
I have got a i-mate PDA2k, a Qtek2020i and a Qtek2020.
I need implement an application that use the camera.
I find the Neil Cowburn code very interesting but it don't run on the PDA2k.
Can you help me?
Thanks

i dont think there is a general stk for all of them
i'm sure if asked this question in the developing and hacking it forum
there would be a much bigger chance of people who may know something about the stk seeing it before the thread moves out of page 1
because of other more general questions
you could also use search for
stk AND camara or something like that excluded to the developing it forum

FAQ

OK ive been on this forum for some time. i dont have the many hours that lots of you appear to have to spend modding and adjusting the various XDA type devices covered on here.
My back ground is in electronics and not programing. I like to play with making things like adapters and connection devices. I get frustrated with my in ability to get the electronics to do what i want because it requires the programming side.
I have spent as much time as i can searching and following cross linked threads to find out the things i want to. it is also compounded by the various names and obvious differences between the same models and regions.
I have read the many posts by new people or people like myself who know what they want but dont always get the wording or the area that it is posted in correct. Many of the established members post the usual 'try searching before you post a question' well thats fine but if you dont know what you are looking for then how can you??
So the board has an FAQ section, to be honest that would be the first place i would look for information, there isnt much there to help people, its more about how to post stuff on the board and not FAQ on devices.
Im sure a lot of the new posts would be avoided if the established members/mods set up a list of the FAQ that people ask in there. The obvious ones like what the various terms are, A2DP etc... A list of various patches and what they do, a dload section for drivers, reg editors etc.
Now im wanting to get my XDA2i and Mini s to do what i want, i need to know this info.
Many people will just apply patches etc... i would like to see possibly an area that explains how and why things do what they do to help me understand more so i dont ask those anoying questions that the established members know the answers to.
So how about it MODS/Established members??

The FAQ link is there since we changed the forum to vBulletin, but it's a "default" vBulletin FAQ, not customized to xda-developers in any way.
The place to search for information is the wiki, there you'll find a lot of information on all the devices, and you have the possibility to edit it if you feel there's something missing.
I try to mantain the Hermes wiki up to date, it has a Hermes for Beginners section, a Hermes FAQs section, and a upgrading specific FAQ section.
But even with all the info on the wiki, and sticky posts in all the 3 hermes forums telling people to read the wiki before posting, we are getting the same questions again and again...

Advice for a newbie!

Hi,
I am new to programming and have been self learning c++ for the last few weeks. So far I have only coded command line programmes but would like to start creating some wm programmes.
I have searched the forum and read the various threads relating to ‘beginners guide to wm programming’ etc. from what I have read it doesn’t seem to be the most straight forward process in the world. To get started I think I need to find some win32 API tutorials, download eVC 4 (I’m not a student and not willing to buy visual studio 2005 or 2008) and start playing.
I have also been browsing the web and found some interesting alternatives; Qt and FBA. Has anybody used these? And are they any good?
Any advice which can make this learning process easier would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.

Mind you, post questions in the Questions & Answers section of the forum.
thanks.. and welcome

I wouldtn't recommend you to use anything other than winapi or .net, as many of the devices are really slowwww.
MOD EDIT: Removed Rest of post

Apologies for posting in the wrong place .
Thanks for the reply holodila i think will try and get my hands on a copy of VS, it seems to be the best way forward.
Cheers .

Torrent/Magnet links?

Hello Android users and devs!
First of all I want to apologize for posting in the General Discussion, but I do not have enough posts to do it in the Development Section.
Also I am not aware whether this has been already discussed or is it forbidden (I didn't found such restrictions in the rules)
Anyway, since I got my Desire S this forum is the primary source of information for me, as well as for all the other visitors around.
And especially when it comes to custom rom files there are troubles with dead links, crappy file sharing sites with stupid limitations, etc.
So I think it will be much more convenient for everyone (devs and users) to use the torrent system via magnet link (combined with QR scan maybe) for all the files that are posted around here. The download speed will be much better and all that have downloaded the file once will contribute by seeding it to the others. And of course via the appropriate client the files can be downloaded directly to the SD Card (this is of course possible now through the phone web browser, but a lot of steps are required - waiting, human security check forms, etc.).
Looking forward to your comments.

I'd suggest that you post this question within this the XDA forum in the chance that one of the mods will answer as this relates to rules and policy and isn't something that a member can answer.

Thank you for your reply! I agree on the policy matter, but my general idea was to start a discussion on this topic. In my opinion the torrent system is much more friendly when it comes to file sharing and I was curious is there people around that agree on that, especially the regular users like me and also the developers that are posting files all the time. One of the advantages as well is that on single torrent there can be multiple files attached.
So what do you think?

Sounds like a great idea

I totally agree with you, but unfortunately if the people here at XDA don't then its a wasted discussion.

Ok, there is the new thread. Let's see what will be the verdict

[Q] SAX and Android

Sorry about posting in here, I wanted to post in there Android Developers but it says to post in here cuz I'm new.
Anyways I've found this question asked a while ago, in a couple of different places but it hasn't been answered so I'll try asking it for myself.
I am working on a Android App that needs to read a XML file, I'm using the SAX Parse. I found an example on line that I've messed with and it appears to work if I make Java Application out of it. Though the same code does not work when if its placed with in a Android App. Is there some difference between the SAX implemtations between Striaght Java and Android's VM? Code is aviable if you have any questions.
Thank You!!

I've had a bit of a Google round and I can't see any reason why SAX wouldn't work with Java ME. In fact, I've found examples that use it specifically for Android...

Although this site is obviously full of very talented developers, if you have specific coding issues then I strongly recommend you go to stack overflow. It's a VERY busy site, with some very good (and some not so good) developers all clambering over each other to answer questions. The site is specifically for answering code problems though, so you may get flamed by asking the above question without showing some code. Along with xda it's my most visited site and I couldn't recommend it enough.
To get you started on there, here's an Android/SAX question that may help you with your problem...
