android-3.0-honeycomb

After Honeycomb, Google said that bitmaps are managed by the heap (talked about here ), so if a bitmap is no longer accessible, we can assume that GC takes care of it and frees it. I wanted to create a demo that shows the efficiency of the ideas shown for the listView lecture (from here ), so I made a small app. The app lets the user press a button, and then the listview scrolls all the way to the bottom, while it has 10000 items, which their content is the android.R.drawable items (name and image). For some reason, I get out of memory even though I don't save any of the images, so my question

I have a question about Honeycomb's backward compatibility. I have an app that supports 2.1 or higher and seems to mostly work on Honeycomb except when they start a TabActivity. In particular, when I add tabs to the TabHost, I get the following exception android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0 When looking at the code that throws this exception, I see that it's the tab spec that has a label and an icon. Inside the code, in the LabelAndIconIndicatorStrategy tries to inflate the layout file R.layout.tab_indicator which doesn't appear to be available. TabHost.TabSpec

I'm developing a sync adapter. I found this: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/85f9304dfcc4e284 In that forum a google employee states: In releases of Android from Eclair through Gingerbread integrated editing of 3rd party contacts is poorly supported. The trick is to insert a data row, "Edit in MyApp", which would take the user to your app and your app would then provide an editor activity. Also, there is no provision in the Contacts UI for creating new contacts in 3rd party accounts. We have fixed those issues in Honeycomb. Now you can specify two activities in your

I'm currently testing my app with a multipane Fragment -ised view using the HC compatibility package, and having a lot of difficultly handling orientation changes. My Host activity has 2 panes in landscape ( menuFrame and contentFrame ), and only menuFrame in portrait, to which appropriate fragments are loaded. If I have something in both panes, but then change the orientation to portrait I get a NPE as it tries to load views in the fragment which would be in the (non-existent) contentFrame . Using the setRetainState() method in the content fragment didn't work. How can I sort this out to

I am using the HoneycombGallery sample app in the SDK and attempting to change the style of the ActionBar tabs (i.e., "Balloons", "Bikes", "Androids", "Pastries"). Using the "light" theme, the tabs have a blue underline. I simply want to make this red to match the style of an application I'm working on. I've tried researching styles in the SDK documentation ( http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html ) and other sources on the web, but I'm not quite certain that I understand what property/attribute controls this particular style of the tabs. If anyone has a resource or code

I am developing an Android app for tablets and not using the compatibility library. There is just one Activity and it uses the ActionBar with 3 tabs. In the TabListener I use setContentView to load the layout specific to that tab, and then add the relevant fragments to their frames. This almost works exactly like I want, except when you switch between the tabs fast enough the app will crash. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab as my debugging device and switching tabs is really fast. At a normal pace I can tap back and forth between them and the pages are loaded instantly. The problem is when I
