In all cases we're building for a mobile future, and we're excited about what's ahead.

We launched In-app Billing on Google Play a year ago to give developers more ways to sell and engage users over the lifetime of their apps.

Oracle's faltering charge hits the buffers, as the jury return with a favourable Google verdict on patents. But it seems that Oracle were nowhere near getting what they wanted anyway...

Continuous Delivery (CD) makes sense on so many levels that I’m not even going try to restate its benefits. There have also been reams written on achieving continuous delivery when you’re in the business of developing, say, web apps. However, there is far less on the continuous delivery of private enterprise Android applications.

Why this tool was created when we have ddms? - Because it's hard to select log text in ddms (need to copy and paste to Notepad). - Because ddms sometimes crashes / freezes if the log becomes too long. This tool is more stable. Please give it a try. Any feedback are welcomed.

Building software for a client-side device is quite a bit different than building for the cloud. In the cloud, deployment intervals are measured in days, and sometimes hours. But when you're installing software to potentially millions of users' devices, upgrade cycles turn into weeks, months, and in some cases even years. In this post, I'll talk about challenges related to application lifecycle and incoming call handling on Android.

IT SEEMS that Oracle's lawsuit against Google over its use of Java in Android has fallen apart. Although the trial is still ongoing, and the judge has yet to hand down an important copyright ruling while the jury has yet to return its verdicts on patents and damages, if any - it's already apparent that Oracle is unlikely to win billions or even millions of dollars from Google, and it's possible that Oracle might lose entirely.
