[Android Software Development] E_man5112:
I'm looking to do the same thing, and, rather embarrassingly, I can't even get the first step done.

I'm trying to get eclipse to work (I downloaded Java EE as it was recommended to me). However, when I tried to boot the eclipse.exe, it said I needed javaw.exe at eclipse/jre/bin/javaw.exe, (I thought it would come with Java) so I copied it from a different folder on my computer and it still didn't boot. So I clicked on eclipsec.exe and it said it needed java.exe at the same location, so again, I copied it from a different folder. Neither of them boot, but I don't get the warning messages anymore. eclipsec.exe has a terminal window pop up, but it goes away and then nothing.

Am I missing something? I can't find any java runtime environment or dev environment or Dev kit (or whatever other names it might have) that aren't for a linux distro. I'm on win 7 x64.

Also, I have some pretty decent (a single, but very intense course in college last semester) of C, and can do all of these things

-Basic types & Variables

-Arrays

-Basic arithmetic and working with strings

-Loop structures

-Logic such as IF statements

-Creating new classes and objects

-Calling functions and returning values

in C (list from fxn's post). Will that help much?
[Android Software Development] bitbang3r:
Taking a wild guess, I'd say Eclipse is using a JAVA_HOME that points to a JRE instead of a JDK.

On a related note, Oracle's current download section for j2ee-related stuff (well, Java-related stuff in general) is a mess. I've been developing servlet/Struts-based web applications for almost 10 years, and it left *me* scratching my head trying to figure out what to download when I decided to upgrade to Netbeans 6.9 a few days ago & upgrade my jdk while I was at it.

From what I remember, I downloaded the bundle that appeared to be j2ee, minus the hardcore enterprise stuff of zero interest when you're Tomcat-level, allegedly including the latest j2sdk. Nevertheless, when it finished installing, it was using an old jdk I installed more than a year ago (_14 or _16, I think) and completely ignored the 1.6.0_19 jdk I installed a few weeks ago. I ended up having to install 1.6.0_20 separately and edit the path variables myself to get it to use 1.6.0_20.

Argh. NOW I know why Google was so adamant about Android running "Dalvik" and not "Java" -- it gave them an escape hatch and insurance policy against Sun getting swallowed by Oracle and screwing up Java beyond recognition.

Sigh. There is no god. If there were, Google would own Java, MySQL, & VirtualBox today, Chrome would be a native part of Swing in JDK7, and Netbeans would be Android's official development platform...
[Android Software Development] E_man5112:
not sure what that means? How do I make sure I download a JDK? Like I saig, google gave me a ton of linux links, but I haven't used my ubuntu partition in ages, don't want to have to use it just for this.
[Android Software Development] bitbang3r:
Sorry. "JDK" is what everyone calls the bundle of files you're officially supposed to refer to in print as the "J2SDK for Sun (Oracle?) Java Technology 6, version 1.6"(tm) (or some similarly ugly, tortured name only a law firm + marketing department could love).

Unfortunately, I'm barely able to use Eclipse myself (I'm a Netbeans user). I just remember reading somewhere that Eclipse will LAUNCH if you have it pointing at a JRE, but won't be able to compile anything unless you have it pointing at a JDK. It's extreme, but your best bet is probably to uninstall Eclipse, download and install the newest JDK (1.6.0_20), which will hopefully overwrite the path changes the J2EE installer made, reboot (hey, it's Windows), then try launching Eclipse again.

If it still doesn't work, try opening a windows command prompt, and type:

java -version

then

javac -version

If you don't see something that says 1.6.0_20 for both, it means your PATH environment variables have an old location ahead of your new copy. If the first works, but the second doesn't work at all, it additionally means that your PATH and/or JAVA_HOME values are pointing at a JRE instead of a JDK

Remember, JRE is what you need to RUN Java apps. JDK (J2SDK) is what you need to BUILD Java apps. The JDK is a superset of the JRE. Unfortunately, Java's installation process does a terrible job of looking for problems like this (IMHO, if you go to install a JDK of the same version as an already-installed JRE, it should just uninstall the JRE and install the JDK into the same location to completely replace it), so people keep getting bitten over and over again with problems like this. Don't feel bad... it's almost a rite of passage for Java developers ;-)
[Android Software Development] Nemisis7654:
This is a very helpful thread. As a CS student in college right now, I don't exactly find Android development too difficult, but it is still a challenged (considering it's fairly different from what we do in my classes). Still, I am really wanting to delve further into development of Android apps, so I am definitely going to have to check out some of those books.
[Android Software Development] E_man5112:
Thanks bitbang3r, ok, so I downloaded the Java SE Development Kit 6u21 JDK.

I didn't uninstall eclipse, because that didn't come with an installer, it was just a zip file I unpacked. Deleted it anyway, and re-unpacked it.

Anyway, I installed the Java suite above, and copied the entire contents of jdk1.6.0_21 into the eclipse folder (which includes the eclipse/jre/bin/javaw.exe among a ton of other stuff)

Now I get an error "Failed to load the JNI shared Library \eclipse\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll". At least Eclipse is starting to launch, that's progress. I did check the filepath, and there is a jvm.dll where it says it failed to launch.

I noticed in the jdk1.6.0_21 folder, there is a src.zip. Do I need to unzip it?

Finally, I put in your command line codes, and both came up as an invalid entry.
[Android Software Development] bitbang3r:
OK, that means there's one last thing you need to modify -- the PATH environment variable. Right-click "My computer" -> properties -> advanced -> Environment variables -> PATH and add the path to the JDK's bin directory at the start. On my computer, it starts out like this:

PATH=c:/glassfishv3/jdk\bin;C:\Program Files\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\bin;C:\Program Files\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\emulator\bin ;C:\WinAVR-20090313\bin;C:\WinAVR-20090313\utils\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;c:\bin;c:\bin\dar64-2.3.8-i386-windows;c:\bin\apache-ant-1.7.1\bin;........

There's no need to unzip the source. It's just there in case you want it for something. If I were paranoid and didn't think there were already several million copies cached around the internet, I'd tell you to hold on to it in case Oracle ever decides to be... well... Oracle. Fortunately, lots of former Sun employees saw it coming, and did a great job of legally setting things up in ways that Oracle can defund, but can't undo.
[Android Software Development] ZorillaBiz:
Like somebody suggested i bought Hello, Android and learning from it for a few days. I can say that this book is great and i already learned a lot of Android basics, but i need to learn Java..what do you suggest?
[Android Software Development] E_man5112:
Ok, I changed the path (It was all lower case, if that mattters) under system variables, and that didn't help, so I changed it under user variables, which also didn't help.

Mine is much shorter than yours though, only a single entry: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin

There is also a QTJAVA under system variables, and that points to a zip buried in a JRE, should I change that to somewhere in the jdk?

Would netbeans be easier to set up?
[Android Software Development] bitbang3r:
Doubtful, but you can try. Just make sure you install Netbeans 6.8, and NOT 6.9, because as of today (7/20), 6.9 isn't *quite* plug and play compatible with 6.8.

1. Install the J2SDK1.6.0_20 + Netbeans 6.8 cobundle, download from here: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHO...Ref=jdk-6u20-nb-6.8-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer

1b. Reboot, then open a command prompt and make sure you can do "java -v" and "javac -v" as detailed in my earlier post.

2. Make sure the Android SDK is installed and added to your execution path. If you can open a command prompt and run "Android", it is.

2b. Make sure you've fully updated the SDK to the latest versions of everything, including Android tools, before continuing.

3. Follow the instructions on this page to add nbAndroid as an update source, then add nbAndroid to Netbeans -- http://kenai.com/projects/nbandroid/pages/Install

Sorry to necro this thread... just wanted to note for anyone who was watching for that book that it is out on Amazon now (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1430231564 "Learn Java for Android Development"). I just bought a copy and will see how it is... it's due to arrive on Friday. Also of note is there are supposed to be six extra chapters coming onto the author's site that didn't make it into print form in the future... hoping they follow through on that.

Link to the download is broken, Cheers!

mmm...Works now. !

Thanks, Ill try it out and let you know.
[Nexus One Android Development] death1246:

[Nexus One Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
Does this rom support the old A2SD?
[Nexus One Android Development] Henchman:
Bootloop after update
[Nexus One Android Development] death1246:
Wipe before installing

and to the guy above this is only the beggining for me Im building my own kernel im just still learning how to use the SDK so dont be an ass please.
[Nexus One Android Development] death1246:
damn people really hate me... anyways im uploading an update with the mms and sms icons
[Nexus One Android Development] nicandris:
hmmm i don't get it... from the changelog this is modaco +4 apps and updated google maps?
[Nexus One Android Development] death1246:
like i said its nothing big... its also themed with the black bar and some other photoshops that I have done... and will keep doing it and updating this topic so enjoy or just whatever
[Nexus One Android Development] midnightslide:
@death1246 what changes are you making to the kernel that you are working on?
[Nexus One Android Development] JupiterDroid:
Death, there are a lot of mugs on here, just ignore them....

Your doing a grand job, and the more custom roms the better;)

I used to own a desire before a nexus, and i found the desire forum on xda to be brilliant and helpful, since comming to the nexus forums i have seen just how many top class idiots there are that own nexus's.

If we was selling these customised roms i could understand it, but we are doing stuff that is just for the community and there free...

Im amazed that there are any devs here at all because of the way they are treated, Mods need to be more efficient in kicking plebs out;)

[Nexus One Android Development] megatran808:
Thank you for sharing your Rom. Its good to see different Roms. Gives everyone a selection.

Keep up the good work!
[Nexus One Android Development] death1246:
Here is what I am doing..

I am building a rom the way I want it to be, look, feel, and be as fast as possible with the best useful apps that dont flood an OS.

I'm using modocos standard rom and customizing it for myself and to share it. Im photoshopping and making it look as good as possible before continuing to build a kernel.. Right now I have 30% knowledge on android so bare with me im a fast learner..

I will keep making this rom the way I want and when I start coding it will be better.

Thanks for the good support and enjoy to those that like my customized version of modocos rom
[Nexus One Android Development] death1246:
well.... didnt think I would start world war 3 lol anyways

[Nexus One Android Development] death1246:
No it doesnt support the classic APP2SD but if you guys want Ill set up the original APP2SD one also :)
[Nexus One Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
Yeah that would be great.
[Nexus One Android Development] RogerPodacter:
I'm jealous, I want to learn how to make a ROM :-) I'm still looking for the black matte theme updated to work with latest froyo.
[Nexus One Android Development] egzthunder1:
@ death1246,

Your rom includes a few apps that cannot be included in roms, namely

*SetCPU

*FancyWidget

The dev of SetCPU has specifically stated that his app should

not

be cooked into roms. And FancyWidget is a paid app...

Please removed them from your rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] death1246:
So much for open source

Ill just add some warez and upload it for another forum :)

ill delete the rom from here
[Touch Pro CDMA] Dark-Stealth:
My Touch Pro (HTC Raphael) is acting up, the screen continuously jumps or goes completely black, the digitizer doesn't respond right, and the power button doesn't work. The navigation control doesn't work right either. :(

6/27/10----- 3:49 p.m.

I found out where the problem came from, it's from the socket on where the flex cable from the screen part of the TP connets to the motherboard. if anyone knows where i can get a replacement mother board please let me know!

I attached some pictures with the board and the jumpy screen.
[Touch Pro CDMA] wstidolph:
why replace board if you can replace phone?

I had similar problems a couple weeks ago, on a TP that is more than 1 yr old - local Sprint store told me to get it replaced under the Total Equipment insurance plan I have, but that would be $100 ... called Sprint customer service, they symptom-diagnosed it as loose/failing cable, so they swapped it out as a manufacturer defect, I had a replacement phone in 2 days, with return mailer included. On the phone maybe 20 minutes total.
[Touch Pro CDMA] rodwerx:
Flex Cable is bad

The flex cable is bad. PM me and I'l explain how to fix.

I found some theming guides, but most of them are somewhat incomplete. If you can post the theming guides that you have found in your own searches, I will be very grateful.

I really need more clarification on the XML stuff. The .9.pngs I have covered (after I get Eclipse IDE working on this infernal machine).

For those curious about theming, I dug up this on XDA, but it is kind of incomplete. Some indepth XML editing more generalized for customization would be worlds of help.
