Devs: Give your thumbs up on these missing Market features
by Keith Wiley » Sun, 03 May 2009 05:27:54 GMT
Actually, that approach seems to be completely ineffective,
considering that I posted this message there yesterday and received no
responses at all, whereas my post on the Discuss forum quickly
received several responses, and the post on code.google.com quickly
received a few votes. I doubt that all developers are reading all the
forums with the even distribution you are implying.
I take your point that the purpose of dividing the forums up is to
keep them on-topic, but that only works if everyone reads
everything...which I doubt. Lots of people probably don't do that;
they just read a few of the main forums, in which case topic-division
actually prevents people from seeing all subject lines.
Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages. Sorry to have
cluttered the list.
Cheers!

It's already there, you're duplicating it.

1. Android on Gigabyte M528
Android on Gigabyte M528 (aka, Compal Jax 10, Aigo MID P8860)
I made some progress on porting Android to Gigabyte M528. The
following
is a summary of what I tried. Hopefully, this summary can save your
time.
what works:
1). keyboard: almost works, however the keycode of the ENTER key is 96
which means you
need add
key 96 ENTER
to 'AT_Translated_Set_2_keyboard.kl'.
2). display: VESA console, vga=785 (640x480). Yeah, this is not the
native resolution (800x480).
Porting Poulsbo driver from Moblin project will probably works.
3). WLAN: The libertas_sdio in Android 2.6.27 kernel doesn't work for
me. I had to port Moblin's
modified Marvell 8688_a2 driver to the 2.6.27 kernel. Note that
libertas_sdio could be loaded
without problem, but when I tried 'iwconfig eth0 essid xxxx',
the system just hanged there.
I didn't try wpa_supplicant yet.
what probably will work, but I haven't tried yet:
1). WCDMA/HSDPA modem
2). GPS
what most likely won't work:
1). touch screen: in the MIDLinux that came with M528, the touch
screen is drived by proprietary
binary driver for X server. I have no idea if it's possible to
wrap the driver to with Android
2). volume buttons, camera button, and smartkey: in the MIDLinux,
those buttons need a
kernel module (EcIo.ko), a library (/usr/lib/libEcIO.so), and
some executable files (such as,
'/usr/bin/smartkey') to work.

2. How to play video on background
Hi,
I refer to the code of apidemo to write a program to play video. I
use the MediaPlayer to play the video file, it could play properly on
background, such as use HOME key return to the main menu screen and
let the program run on background, the audio of video playback can be
heard.
But when I switch back to the play program, the program can not render
the screen, only show a black screen.
Anyone can give me some comments about it? How to resume the surface rendering?
Regards!
Pan
