I am about to create my first Android native (so not browser based) app and looking for some good practices regarding icon creating/provisioning. Since it should support multiple devices/resolutions I thought it is best to use SVG to create them. There is at least this lib: http://code.google.com/p/svg-android/ that promises to offer support for SVG on Android. So far, I have not found resources d

I use a WebView to display some internet content on one of our app's Activities. The problem is that when the user switches out of this activity, WebView's threads keep running! The problematic threads are: Thread [<17> WebViewCoreThread] (Running) Thread [<25> CookieSyncManager] (Running) Thread [<19> http0] (Running) Thread [<29> http1] (Running) Thread [<31> http2] (Running) Thread [<33> http3]

Killing apps/services in Android is generally a really bad idea. Whilst it is possible to write task killer apps, it shouldn't be encouraged for anything outside of development/debugging purposes. Task management is the responsibility of the Android O/S, the tasks you can see are not processes (in the sense of the processes you see in the Windows task manager for example), in fact, they only have

Code: URL url = new URL(urlToRssFeed); SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser(); XMLReader xmlreader = parser.getXMLReader(); RssHandler theRSSHandler = new RssHandler(); xmlreader.setContentHandler(theRSSHandler); InputSource is = new InputSource(url.openStream()); xmlreader.

I'm trying to install a prebuilt binary in a custom Android image. For that I have copied it to a new directory in prebuilt/android-arm/ with an Android.mk file similar to this one: LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_SRC_FILES := binary_name LOCAL_MODULE := binary_name LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS := EXECUTABLES include $(BUILD_PREBUILT) So if I run make system_image binary_name, the b

I've been waiting for this feature. Android 2.3.3 allows to take screenshot without root. http://mobiputing.com/2011/03/google-android-2-3-3-adds-native-screenshot-support-may-break-google-voice/ Can you programmatically take screenshot? If so how? Or is it only manually (like Home + Power button) like Apple?

Note that memory usage on modern operating systems like Linux is an extremely complicated and difficult to understand area. In fact the chances of you actually correctly interpreting whatever numbers you get is extremely low. (Pretty much every time I look at memory usage numbers with other engineers, there is always a long discussion about what they actually mean that only results in a vague conc
