It does instantly show up in the market, but it may take a while for it to become searchable. You can access your market page instantaneously by going to the following page:

&gt; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[your app package name]

e.g.:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedplane.androidvideoapp




It might take a bit of time. While it&#39;s supposed to be instantaneous, that&#39;s not always the case. Once I had to wait a couple of hours for it to show up on my phone (but I believe that was abnormal behavior).

Don&#39;t forget to check the Android Manifest file as @chiranjib mentioned as well.

This should be instantaneous (at least it usually is for me).
Is the app not offered to you at all? Could one of your settings in AndroidManifest.xml prevent it from being offered to you by the market?

Check the Android manifest file with the following properties

    &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=&quot;3&quot; android:targetSdkVersion=&quot;19&quot;  /&gt;
    &lt;supports-screens  android:largeScreens=&quot;true&quot;   android:normalScreens=&quot;true&quot;  android:smallScreens=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;

Mine is showing up on there, but not on my phone yet. I guess its a waiting game.

I&#39;m totally new to Python and I know this question was asked many times, but unfortunately it seems that my situation is a bit different...
I have created a package (or so I think). The catalog tree is like this:

```
mydir
    lib   (__init__.py)
        mod1  (__init__.py, mod11.py)
```

In parenthesis there are files in the catalog. Both `__init__.py` files are zero length.

The file `mydir/lib/mod1/mod11.py` contains the following:

```python
def mod12():
    print &quot;mod12&quot;
```

Now, I run `python`, then `import lib`, which works OK, then `lib.mod11()` or `lib.mod12()`.

Either of the last two gives me the subject error message. Actually `dir(lib)` after Step 2 does not display `mod11` or `mod12` either.
It seems I&#39;m missing something really simple.

(I&#39;m using Python 2.6 in Ubuntu 10.10)

Thank you




Python error: AttributeError: &#39;module&#39; object has no attribute

I&#39;m including a custom.css file in my template to allow site owners to add their own css rules. However, when I ship the file, its empty and there&#39;s no sense loading it if they&#39;ve not added any rules to it.

What&#39;s the best way to determine if its empty?

	if ( 0 == filesize( $file_path ) )
	{
		// file is empty
	}

	// OR:

	if ( &#39;&#39; == file_get_contents( $file_path ) )
	{
		// file is empty
	}

I&#39;ve just uploaded a new app to the android market. However when I try to download it to my phone through the Android market, it doesn&#39;t appear!

Please can someone with knowledge of this let me know how I can get my app to appear in the search results.

I&#39;m making an android application, where there is a view composed of hundreds of buttons, each with a specific callback. Now, I&#39;d like to set these callbacks using a loop, instead of having to write hundreds of lines of code (for each one of the buttons). 

My question is: How can I use findViewById without statically having to type in each button id? 
Here is what I would like to do:

        for(int i=0; i&lt;some_value; i++) {
    	   for(int j=0; j&lt;some_other_value; j++) {
    		String buttonID = &quot;btn&quot; + i + &quot;-&quot; + j;
    		buttons[i][j] = ((Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonID));
    		buttons[i][j].setOnClickListener(this);
    	   }
    	}

Thanks in advance!

Android: Using findViewById() with a string / in a loop

My application shows some notifications, and depending on user preferences it might use a custom layout in a notification. It works well, but there is a small problem -- **text colors**. Stock Android and almost all manufacturer skins use black text against a light background for notification text, but Samsung doesn&#39;t: their notification pulldown has a dark background and the text in the default notification layout is white.

So this causes a problem: the notifications that don&#39;t use any fancy layouts show up fine, but the one that uses a custom layout is hard to read because the text is black instead of the default white. Even the [official documentation](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html#CustomNotification) just sets a `#000` color for a `TextView`, so I couldn&#39;t find any pointers there.

A user was kind enough to take a screenshot of the problem:

&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.stack.imgur.com/znPWN.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Screenshot&quot; /&gt;

So **how do I use the default notification text color from the device** in my layouts? I&#39;d rather not start dynamically altering the text color based on phone model, since that requires a lot of updating and people with custom ROM&#39;s might still get the problem, depending on the skin they&#39;re using.

Custom notification layouts and text colors

While testing my apps, I use emulators and my own phone to see if everything is working ok.  My apps are also writing data to shared preferences and a text file.

I can pull the data from my emulators through the `DDMS` in eclipse so I can read the data files on my computer, but when I try to open those folders through the `DDMS` on my phone, nothing happens.  I click the data folder and nothing happens.

My phone is rooted.  Is there any way I could pull the files from my phone?  I know that Android keeps these folders private, but there must be a way.  The emulator is just *way* too slow.

I&#39;m having trouble offloading tasks from the main Activities OnCreate method onto another class to do the heavy lifting.

When I try to call getSystemService from the non-Activity class an exception is thrown.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

How can I use getSystemService in a non-activity class (LocationManager)?

I have one activity which is the main activity used throughout the app and it has a number of variables. I have two other activities which I would like to be able to use the data from the first activity.
Now I know I can do something like this:

&lt;!-- language: lang-java --&gt;

    GlobalState gs = (GlobalState) getApplication();
    String s = gs.getTestMe();

However I want to share a lot of variables and some might be rather large so I don&#39;t want to be creating copies of them like above.

Is there a way to directly get and change the variables without using get and set methods? I remember reading an article on the Google dev site saying this is not recommended for performance on Android.

What&#39;s the best way to share data between activities?

I&#39;m just about ready to publish my first app to the Android market, and I&#39;d like to know if any of you have any tips about any experiences you may have encountered in regard to publishing an app that goes beyond the obvious and already documented.

Any hidden caveats and/or ideas about what to do before publishing an app to the market?  For instance, a buddy of mine recommended that I remove any and all comments in my code just in case someone gets to the source code, thus making it more difficult for the would-be &quot;code jacker&quot; to decipher the code.  I thought that was a sensible suggestion.

What are all the things to do before posting their app to the Android market?


&quot;To Do&quot; list before publishing Android app to market

Since a couple of days it&#39;s possible to use in-app-billing in Android apps. Very cool of course. So, I started working on a update for my application to implement this. But now I run into some problems. This is what I did:

- I first tried the reserved product IDs for testing static in-app 
billing responses. That works without problems.
- I uploaded a draft APK to the market (with production signing, no debug signing), that included the com.android.vending.BILLING permission.
- When I did that I was able to add a &#39;In-app Products&#39; to my app in the market and set it status to published. 
- I created a test user and reseted my device to make that test user the primary account on my test device. 
- The reserved product id&#39;s still work.

Now comes the problem. When I use my own product ID (the one I added before, see above) a dialog is shown with the following text: 

&quot;**Application Error : This version of the application is not configured for Market Billing. Check the help center for more information.**&quot;

There is nothing strange I can find in the log. Anyone knows what I&#39;m doing wrong here? 

Application Error : This version of the application is not configured for Market Billing

Shutting off *my own* app&#39;s LogCat output before releasing an app to the market is straightforward. I also know how to selectively filter LogCat message by tag and/or id for my own debug convenience.

But now I am interested in something that may be much more difficult (perhaps impossible?): Disable all LogCat output, including &amp; especially those coming from 3rd-party services like TtsService, GoogleLoginService, etc.

Is this possible?

To further clarify: I am *not* interested in filtering out messages for myself. I am rather interested in disabling 3rd-party messages for whoever downloads my app from the Android Market. Is this possible?


Disable LogCat Output COMPLETELY in release Android app?

So we&#39;ve been through this several times now, we release a game (for cheap) and someone hacks it and puts it up on a mirror.  We setup Google Alerts for all our apps, so we get told daily who&#39;s doing the hacking.  So far, we have implemented the licensing service as Google has suggested, our salt is randomly made each time the license is initiated with the unique device ID.  We run the check service once, when the application is started for the first time.  We then generate a 512 character hash for the key and the stored value that is compared against in SharedPreferences from there on out. 

Now, I know that checking once is probably where the application is being blocked.  Our bytecode has most likely been looked at and recompiled without the line that initiates the check. 

From here, I don&#39;t want to obfuscate our code as I have seen it broken before.  I want something a little more solid, and I also want to learn how to do this properly.  I am more interested in learning than making money at this point since only 2% of people will ever look for a hacked version.

So far, on my own, I have come up with a random number generator that is placed in several startup areas of the game.  When initiated (say, 1 out of 50 times) the license is checked.  I know this would make it harder to hack because the cracker would have to eliminate each case, compile, eliminate, compile. This method however, is still crackable...so what do you guys suggest?  Again, I am really interested in this process of security, so please educate, don&#39;t turn this into a discussion on obfuscation or checking periodically based on a timestamp. 

Thanks

Android Game Keeps Getting Hacked

I&#39;m looking for some &quot;Feature Graphic&quot; online generator. Feature Graphic is the big image displayed in the web-based Android Market. 

It could be something simple and it could look like one for this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=menion.android.locus

I would input screenshots, title and some slogan and it would generate nice feature graphic. I think many Android developers would appreciate such service.
