So now that the Logitech Revue has been dropped to $100 I figured there should be more customers. Has anyone ever attempted development for this device? Is anyone interested in starting development for this?
I'm definitively going to do some development for it.
The SDK has yet to be released, but I believe it is possible to get the GoogleTV specific jars from the leaked honeycomb build (which is very good).
Since revue isn't a phone, there is unfortunately no xda forum for it.
http://forum.gtvhacker.com/revue/ is probably the source of information right now.
A lot of existing apps do and will work with Google TV, but you should remember:
1. Add the following to manifest in order for the app to be visible in the android market place <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen" android:required="false"/>
2. Include a view for landscape orientation (portrait only apps will not run)
3. If you use native code, include x86 as a build target

Hey All,
Not sure if us as the community can email google or someone to push for the release of the honeycomb 3.0. I don't have the right info as to who to email or who to contact but i am sure if enough people will get together and do this we will see honeycomb in no time.
Honeycomb SDK is already released for a few tablets and i would like to see it for our viewsonic Gtab. (so lets speak for it guys)
Let me know if someone has the contact info to contact the correct team this way i can send out the email from my side. I know viewsonic will just tell me that they are waiting for google to release it so i am guessing that our main contact is google but the question is who..

The "Honeycomb SDK" is just the Software Developers Kit for Honeycomb. It's not for any particular tablet. What has happened is that they include an emulator to run on your PC or Linux box so you can test the apps you build with the SDK to make sure they are working. Some have taken this emulator and hacked it to run on devices that are similar enough to the CPU architecture emulated in the emulator. Definitely not something I'd want to base building an OS off of.......
Google isn't going to release the source code (what you want...not just and SDK) to AOSP (Android Open Source Project) until they feel it is ready.
AOSP and SDK are two different things.
AOSP is the source code that devs use to compile ROMs. This will be helpful.
SDK's are used by app devs to build apps and is already fully available.

Greetings all,
As a massive community of Android overlords, this seemed like a good place to post this random thought.
As everyone knows, Netflix does not support linux. While it's been leaked that Chrome OS will provide netflix compatability, that development thread has since been locked, and somehow I am dubious about when or if this will ever materialize.
In just the past few days, Netflix announced an app for certain android phones, which one of your number promptly hacked and made available for most android phones. I think it was "ftep", and bravo to you, dude.
The nearest solution for netflix on Android is to run WinXP in a virtual machine - alot of overhead for a simple video player. But now that there is an app for android, I immediately thought - Android x86. If the player app could run there, it might be possible set up an Ax86 virtual machine to watch netflix in Linux, without the massive overhead of an XP VM.
I wish I had the technical know-how to take this on. I did install VMware and got an Ax86 virtual machine running 2.2, but none of the netflix apps, modded or original, would install. That's where I hit a brick wall.
So just an idea. Any takers?
Thanks!
TM
I actually was thinking the same thing a few minutes ago. Was searching and found this post. I'm working on it right now, will get back to you as soon as I make any (if any) progress.
Any updates? Most interested!
Did anything ever come of this? Apparently, running an ARM Android emulator for the Netflix app won't play video. I was hoping Ax86 would do the trick, but I haven't been able to find anyone who's pulled it off just yet.
BUUUUUUMP!!!
Don't know if this helps but AFAIK the netflix app uses native ARM code and therefore won't run on AndroidX86. I have an Android-X86 tablet now and I know the original won't run.

Hey,
I've recently dived head first into android app development. I was messing around with the LatinIME that is available on the the AOSP source code tree.
I've managed to get it working fine on my 4.0.3 device, but i'm having serious problems trying to get it to work on devices with lower API Levels.
It's got lots of deprecated packages inside it, so i believe there must be some easy way of getting it to run without FC's on older devices, but i just can't figure it out!
Other people have already done this, as it's available on the market, and i'd appreciate any guidance anyone can offer.
Is it just a case of rewriting the 4.0 only functions?
Thanks,
Jack.
Downloaded the app and rather liked it, but it's very unhandy that you can't edit commands on startup. I want to add that functionality myself, but I see that there's no development since May 2011 (v. 0.2.4).
Is it time to fork the app? Or are there any other great DosBox Android ports, that I'm not aware of?
Can we have nexus 7 2013 lte act as bluetooth headset and have phone book access profile please.....
www.bluez.org they have the whole source code to put this in to any rom, i do not know how to put but someone who knows i think should be straight forward
also there are roms from huifei who manufactures car stereos with bluetooth functionality in them and they are based on android ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662
can we have this functionality please in nexus 7 ?

Last I checked, the bluez stack was missing some important Android functionality, so getting this functionality would require sacrificing other capabilities and it would also require a LOT of work.
It would also probably make life a living nightmare for some of our device maintainers.

There is source code available for a product called carpod, and android car head unit which also has this bluetooth functionality... i downloaded the source code, and it has gradle files etc... i have no idea how and what to look in to the source code... any suggestions where to look? how to open the complete source code in android development studio etc?
the link for that source code is under Helpful Links section -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55200512&postcount=1
i really hope a developer can just add this functionality which is already implemented in many available car head units running on android...

Is it possible? Yes.
Is it more work than we have time for? Absolutely
To do so would involve either adding a new profile to the Android BT stack (none of us have any familiarity with it) or dropping in BlueZ, which has some really nifty features (such as native DualShock controller support), but its support for other important features (like Bluetooth LE) is, if you read their changelogs, a heavy work in progress and experimental. Which means that if we did this for your niche feature, we'd break widely used functionality (like communication with Android Wear watches). There's also the fact that EVERY device maintainer would have to make changes to their audio routing configs to support this, and trust me, messing with audio routing is a MASSIVE PAIN IN THE ASS that no one wants to mess with.
