Fred_clx: “@nsuffy. The Android SDK Is No Longer Free Software. Android Programming for Beginners: Part 2. In the first part of this two-part series on getting started with Android coding, you set up your development environment, built a basic countdown app, and got acquainted with the Android API. In this second article we'll have a closer look at the structure of an Android app, create a menu, and write a second activity to input a countdown time. We'll also look at running your app on a physical phone. Menu options There are three Android menu types. The Options Menu is the menu that appears when you hit the menu button (on older Android) or is shown in the Action bar (newer Android), and you can also access contextual menus and popup menus. We're going to use the Options Menu to allow you to set the count down time. Eclipse creates an stub Options Menu method with a new main Activity: public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); return true; } and add the @string reference to res/values/strings.xml.
Activities Installing on a phone. Top 15 Android-Ready Application Development Frameworks. On July 20, Adobe unveiled version 2.0 of the open source PhoneGap, a leader among the growing crowd of cross-platform, Android-compatible, mobile app frameworks. Open source developers welcomed new PhoneGap features such as a "Cordova WebView" function that enables developers to integrate code into larger native applications. Getting started in Android with Cordova, formerly known as PhoneGap. There are scores of such frameworks to choose from these days, and as seen in our Top 15 list below, the best are getting quite sophisticated. Yet there is still considerable grumbling about the state of mobile cross-platform frameworks. They may be fine for the majority of Android apps being developed, yet few seem to be capable of handling all the requirements of a professional-quality enterprise or consumer app.
Nevertheless, the official tools deserve a look, as it's usually difficult to port one's cross-platform effort to the Android SDK in mid-stream. Google's Tools Get Friendlier - Flixel.

Offline Web Applications and Caching of Web Resources (Web 2.0 and Mobile Development Community) With the explosion of mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones, the ability to be able to work in what is called disconnected mode becomes a requirement.
In support of this requirement, HTML5 provides the ability for developers to define what is called an application cache manifest file. Inside of this application cache, developers can denote which files that are associated with the application can be cached indefinitely by the browser. By enabling this cache, the browser can now retrieve web resources from it's local cache without having to request these resources via the network to the web server that is hosting the web content. The HTML5 specification provides an overview of how this cache can be defined. The author can instead provide a manifest of the three files: clock.html clock.css clock.js With a small change to the HTML file, the manifest (served as text/cache-manifest) is linked to the application: <title>Clock</title> <p>The time is: <output id="clock"></output></p>
Android Simplicity: How-To #0: How to Install Usb Driver on Your Computer. Installing the Android USB Driver is the #1 priority if you ever want to access your Android device through a computer, be it to transfer files or executing commands. Failing to correctly install the usb driver could lead to a lot of confusion and headaches. Thankfully, there is a one-click installation solution that I have included in the Android driver package below. Also, note that most Android devices are capable of mounting as a "mass storage device" on newer versions of windows(vista, win7, and win8).
These operating systems will automatically install them as "mass storage devices"(debug mode must be unchecked - see picture 1.1 below). This is perfectly fine if you are only interested in transferring files. However, you do not want this if you ever want to debug the phone; your computer must be able to recongize them as an "Android Device"!
