Android? - General Topics

Hi, i was wondering if anyone had tried the android platform yet. I was thinking about trying it out just to see how it works. Anyone have any information on it?

I haven't tried it but have found this article on it.
Its interesting to me as it seems to be a genuinely open system.
I have begun studying how to develop Java ME Midlet applications, and have just discovered some of the limitations in creating your own programs as they are required to undergo an expensive certification process if they access certain functions of the phone.

Running poker applications?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get the major poker site gui applications(pokerstars, fulltilt poker) running on a ppc? Specifically a touch diamond or t-mobile wing(p4350).
It seems that someone should have developed some sort of emulator that can run windows based applications that aren't resource intensive. I searched, but I am not very savvy so I might have missed obvious key words.
If it hasn't been done and can be done, I would be interested in finding a developer who might try it.

if they're native PC applications, you're shot. If they're in java, you mayhave better luck.
With all of the security features included, mainly with FTP since I use it, I doubt you could make this for your device. There is however, a very good multiplayer poker game from, I think, RealDice Inc.

How to develop an App for multiple mobile-OSys?

Hey there folks,
after reading these forums for quite a while and having several smartphones during the last years, I reached the point where I want to start creating my own apps. I tried to google around a bit and found some interesting tutorials on how to start creating apps. I also found several SDKs for different operating systems. But exactly that is the point leading to my question.
Before starting to code: is it possible to choose a platform from where my app can be delivered to each winmo, iphone, blackberry or android?
Or is that just plain impossible? I mean, those are all touch based devices Should'nt be that much of a difference? Originally I wanted to start developing an iphone app, but that would leave out all the android users and so on. I don't want to rewirte everything from scratch for an android device after having finished the iphone variant. And that did not even consider the advent of windows 7.
So, is there any way of coding for all the operating systems, keeping the effort of switching between operating systems low?
greetings and thanks in advance for your help,
your unexperienced coder-in-spe,
joker
While all four of the devices mentioned all use ARM processors of various flavours to do the work, they are four completely different operating systems, each with their own IDE and programming models.
Even considering Windows Mobile, you have to decide whether you are programming for a SmartPhone/Classic or a Pocket PC/Professional device. In this case it is possible to write code that will run on both WM platforms, but you will have to make that decision at design time, before you even think of writing a single line of code. Your application will then have to act accordingly, depending on the machine on which it runs.
java apps for symbian often works ok on wm using a midlet manager
not sure about android and blackbarry but being java not too much code would be required to port it I suppose
mind you java on wm work pretty poorly
and iphone got rules that you can only make apps using objective-C/c/c++ and their SDK
which is only available if you own a mac computer
Thank you for your answers. Looks like starting to code is not that simple as expected. So I will try developing for iPhone only :/

[Q] Hardware programming in Android

Hi,
It was not until I started the adventure with Android, but right now I would like to learn a few issues. Suppose that some Chinese have a tablet. Does the official library for Android (Java), there is a possibility of getting into the hardware and GPIO lines suppose to control whether the PWM? If not, you could ask for a sketch of the problem, how to write a library yourself suitable for such things? How do I know, the kernel of Android is simply Linux. Is the structure of the Android file system is similar to classical linux distribution? If so, you can access through the Android API again, to all the common files in the / dev, / sys or / proc? I know there's NDK, which sooner this would be suitable, but unfortunately, terribly lame documentation. Due to the fact that even a little the market is functioning Android application developers write programs mostly in Java, so I thought that such issues are already in library. Thanks for help

Analyzing a memory leak in native code

Hello folks,
I have written a piece of native code (totally C, no Java at all) that runs on my rooted device, and I need to analyze a memory leak in it.
I couldn't get any solution from the web to actually work.
Not Valgrind, not the Visual Studio profiler, not AdressSanitizer, not DDMS, didn't even tried other weird solutions, couldn't find any working libc_malloc_debug_leak.so.
How come such a basic operation becomes so hard to accomplish...?
Am I missing something?
I'll be glad to hear any suggestions and advises
Thanks!

Lenovo ThinkPad TB00028AA in 2022 ????

It’s a great tablet, but seems way too outdated. Google play store won’t even open. I really would like to update/upgrade it. I was thinking of installing Linux on it. I watched some videos on installing Linux on android tablets but the people say you need certain Apps to do it. And like I mentioned I can’t even open the play store.
Does anyone know any other ways to install Linux without having apps to do it? Is there any other options of other ways for me to update this tablet?
Thank you
Converting an Android device to a Linux device in principle is possible. It can be done in several ways. But some of the manufacturers may have some hardware oddities that aren't documented, which makes it more difficult to install something else on Android device: Usually the firmware bit is extremely difficult to get working with anything else than the original system. you will therefore end up missing lots of hardware features!
If you are a kernel and firmware expert, then yes, it is possible.
