I have looked quickly through your long article, and will probably follow your advice. I find your hatred of Eclipse (that is what I assume you are talking about) slightly off-putting, as you seem to imply that all other works on the topic recommend it. I'm not particularaly fond of Eclipse, but not to the extent that I won't use it if it is recommended. It does come slightly between you and the app you want to write, but is it any more than the other programs you recommend? However, I suppose the issue that most worries me is this: Is developer.android.com the official Android site as they claim to be? Eg is it supported by google? And is studio the official Android IDE? Official as defined by who? Incidentally, I looked (quickly as I said) through your book/article, but didn't see anywhere where you explicitly said how to transfer your app from emulator to phone. Do you explain that somewhere, or do you consider it obvious? Again, does one have to have root access on the phone? Is that discussed in your article? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
