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. Eclipse problem with new projects
For some unknown reason when I now try to create a new Android project
in Eclipse (Ganymede running on Windows) it fails to link to the
android.jar in the SDK (1.0_r1). This has never happened before, and
all my existing projects continue to resolve Android components just
fine.
Error: "Cannot create linked resource
'/.org.eclipse.jdt.core.external.folders/.link0'. The parent resource
is not accessible."
Any idea what's happening?

2. Question on differing permission definitions
Yeah your app must first be installed for them to ever be granted that
permission. Otherwise, at the time other app is installed, the system
doesn't know anything about that permission, so it can't tell the user about
it in any way so it just can not grant it. If your app is installed after
that, the system could conceivably prompt the user to confirm that any other
apps who have requested your permissions now have them granted... but there
is significant work there that we currently don't have planned, and it's not
clear to me that this would be a sane user experience at all anyway.
If this is indeed a harmless permission, why have it at all? :}
