Android adhoc

1. App Inventor

这是 Google Lab 最近比较热的一个产品:

To use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer. App Inventor requires NO programming knowledge. This is because instead of writing code, you visually design the way the app looks and use blocks to specify the app’s behavior.

刚申请了使用账号，估计要一两个星期才可能批下来，google总是喜欢吊人胃口。比较关心两件事情，第一是是否能实现 GUI Layout 的精细调节，第二是是这种半自动开发否会产生大量的垃圾代码。

2. Map app behind a proxy
这是 Android 的一个 known bug, 不管用真机还是 emulator 都好，只要使用了代理，Map app 就会出现 DNS 的问题，因为无法得到 Map app 内部的 http client reference, 这个问题根本就无从解决了。

1. Profile time range validated before save.

2. Prompt "xxx please purchase full version" message in dialog on trial version expiry.

3. Fixed MANY logical defects.

4. Implemented the profile enable/disable feature.

Brightness adjustment is still an unsolved problem.

I should complete all outstanding issues in one or two weeks then start the full testing.

I was stucked by 3 issues for quite long, fortunately I solved all in one time today.

1. Reload the content in tab
TabHost has an option to achieve this feature: addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)

2. Set current tab in the sub activity
I’ve to admitted that i was misleading by the thread in google group this time.
Finally I’ve figured out the solution by my own: pass the screen parameter in intent to TabActivity.

3. Layout issue with TableRow
Should group the row elements in LinearLayout.

It’s getting closer to roll out to the market.

Todo list:
1. Enable/Disable single profile
2. Weekday setting
3. Brightness adjustment
4. Airplane mode.
5. VIP setting.
6. How to make a trial version?
7. How to register the app in android market?
8. More instructions
