Features

* Application framework enabling reuse and replacement of components
* Dalvik virtual machine optimized for mobile devices
* Integrated browser based on the open source WebKit engine
* Optimized graphics powered by a custom 2D graphics library; 3D graphics based on the OpenGL ES 1.0 specification (hardware acceleration optional)
* SQLite for structured data storage
* Media support for common audio, video, and still image formats (MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, GIF)
* GSM Telephony (hardware dependent)
* Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G, and WiFi (hardware dependent)
* Camera, GPS, compass, and accelerometer (hardware dependent)

-- How to Schedule a Task --

In some application some tasks need to be run periodically for example GUI screen should update the data from server periodically. This java tips illustrate a method of scheduling a task periodically. Developers may use it for repetitive invoking of a method as per their requirements. For this aim, first you have to make a class extending TimerTask abstract class and write code in run method, you want to run repetitively. import java.util.TimerTask; public class Shedule extends TimerTask{ public void run() { // add the task here } } In your main program you can call this code to schedule task: java.util.Timer timer = new java.util.Timer(); Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance(); date.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SUNDAY); date.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0); date.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0); date.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); date.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0); //sheduler run now //timer.schedule(new Shedule(), 0, 60 * 60); // Schedule to run every Sun

-- Are you a Android Developer? --

-
If you going to develop an application using Android (specially hardware dependent application, just like new protocol for WI-FI or new network application), curren- tly you must have a mobile phone which is fully support Android OS. There was a Nokia phone and one Motorola phone which is support to Android partially. Because some Android features doesn't work will on those phones. That implies only T-Mobile G1 is the solution to such development. Android announce that they are going to issue a phone, for Android developments and they are call it as a Android Dev Phone 1 . Android Dev Phone 1 is a SIM-unlocked and hardware-unlocked device that is designed for advanced developers. The device ships with a system image that is fully compatible with Android 1.0, so you can rely on it when developing your applications. We can use any SIM in the device and can flash custom Android builds that will work with the unlocked bootloader. The device currently costs $399 (USD) (including free sh
