Bom dia, Verificámos que têm no Android Market uma aplicação que utiliza o conteúdo do Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa sem autorização da Priberam nem qualquer referência à proveniência do conteúdo. Por essa razão e porque a Priberam disponibilizou uma aplicação sua para o Android de acesso ao Dicionário, vimos por este meio pedir-vos que retirem a aplicação do Android Market imediatamente. Muito obrigado, xxx xxxxxPriberam

From: xxxxx [email protected]: DirecçãoJurídica <[email protected]>

Design tips

• Always try to predict the user text.

• Use the default interface

• New input paradigm. Fingers ≠ mouse

• Size of text. Distance to computer screen ≠ distance to mobile device.

• Visual Information

Dalvik.equals(Java) == false

• The VM runs on top of a Linux 2.6 kernel.

• A tool called dx is used to convert some (but not all) Java .class files into the .dex format. Multiple classes are included in a single .dex file. Duplicate strings and other constants used in multiple class files are included only once in the .dex output to conserve space. Java bytecode is also converted into an alternative instruction set used by the Dalvik VM.

• JavaVM’s one can find on almost any desktop computer nowadays are Stack-based Virtual Machines (VM).The DalvikVM on the other hand is register based, because on mobile-processors are optimized for register- based execution. Also of register-based VMs allow faster execution times at the expense of programs which are larger after compilation.

Anatomy of an Android Application

• Activity

• Intent Receiver

• Service

• Content Provider


Activity

• An activity is usually a single screen in your application

• One activity is designated as the entry point point for your application


Activity Lifecycle


Activitypublic class NotasSoltasActivity extends Activity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); }

@Override protected void onDestroy() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onDestroy(); }

@Override protected void onPause() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onPause(); }

@Override protected void onRestart() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onRestart(); }

@Override protected void onResume() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onResume(); }

@Override protected void onStart() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onStart(); }

Service

A Service is code that is long-lived and runs without a UI. A good example of this is a media player playing songs from a play list.


Intents

Intents are asynchronous messages which allow Android components to request functionality from other components of the Android system. For example an Activity can send an Intents to the Android system which starts another Activity.


Content Provider

Applications can store their data in files, a SQLite database, preferences or any other mechanism that makes sense. A content provider, however, is useful if you want your application's data to be shared with other applications. A content provider is a class that implements a standard set of methods to let other applications store and retrieve the type of data that is handled by that content provider.

MVC

Model View

Controler


Development Tools

• Eclipse plugin

• Android SDK


Development ToolsEmulator Simulator

The difference between emulators and simulators is that emulators mimic the software and hardware environments found on actual devices. Simulators, on the other hand, only mimic the software environment.

Common Problems


Common Problems

• ANR (App Not Responding)block main thread for more than 5 seconds

• Manifest missing configurations


Common ProblemsDon’t block the main thread


Common Problems

public void onClick(View v) { new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { Bitmap b = loadImageFromNetwork(); mImageView.setImageBitmap(b); } }).start();}

Don’t block the main thread


Common Problems

public void onClick(View v) { new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { Bitmap b = loadImageFromNetwork(); mImageView.setImageBitmap(b); } }).start();}

Don’t block the main thread

public void onClick(View v) { new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { final Bitmap b = loadImageFromNetwork(); mImageView.post(new Runnable() { public void run() { mImageView.setImageBitmap(b); } }); } }).start();}


Common Problems

public void onClick(View v) { new DownloadImageTask().execute("http://example.com/image.png");}

private class DownloadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> { protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) { return loadImageFromNetwork(urls[0]); }

protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) { mImageView.setImageBitmap(result); } }


Performance

• Avoid Creating Unnecessary Objects

• Avoid Internal Getters/SettersIn native languages like C++ it's common practice to use getters (e.g. i = getCount()) instead of accessing the field directly (i = mCount). This is an excellent habit for C++, because the compiler can usually inline the access, and if you need to restrict or debug field access you can add the code at any time.On Android, this is a bad idea. Virtual method calls are expensive, much more so than instance field lookups. It's reasonable to follow common object-oriented programming practices and have getters and setters in the public interface, but within a class you should always access fields directly.

• Prefer Static Over VirtualIf you don't need to access an object's fields, make your method static. Invocations will be about 15%-20% faster.


Performance• Use Enhanced For Loop Syntax

static class Foo { int mSplat; } Foo[] mArray = ...

public void zero() { int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < mArray.length; ++i) { sum += mArray[i].mSplat; } }

public void two() { int sum = 0; for (Foo a : mArray) { sum += a.mSplat; } }

public void one() { int sum = 0; Foo[] localArray = mArray; int len = localArray.length;

for (int i = 0; i < len; ++i) { sum += localArray[i].mSplat; } }

Web app VS Native

• If you are building a native app, make sure, that it will be amazing.

• PhoneGap - http://phonegap.com/PhoneGap is an HTML5 app platform that allows you to author native applications with web technologies and get access to APIs and app stores. PhoneGap leverages web technologies developers already know best... HTML and JavaScript.

Inspiration

• What app should i make?

• Identify a necessity

• Forget Apps, build a service!

• Use the out-of-the-box phone features: GPS, Contact List, Google Account, Internet, Accelerometer, Maps


Market


Market

• Right now, Portuguese market is too small for mobile ads revenue.

• Take advantage of Portuguese language

• Think Global.

Market“The latest Distimo report found that just two paid Android apps have ever eclipsed the half-million milestone, while six iPhone apps did that in two months in April and May.”

“Overall, 79.3 percent of all paid Android apps have been downloaded less than 100 times, and only 4.6 percent of paid apps were downloaded more than 1,000 times.”
