[Ovmsdev] Android code for OVMS

Thu Dec 13 21:11:36 HKT 2012

Michael,

I think the memory issue is just the amount of RAM available. The vehicle list uses dynamically re-scaled hi-res vehicle images, and that seems to use a lot of ram. Eugene has just re-written that portion of the code, along with a lot of other UI enhancements, but I'm having trouble getting his changes to compile. I think I'm missing some new libraries. Hopefully I should be able to resolve this tonight.

Not so sure about the application installation issue. I used to have installation issues, and found it to be Android ADB timeouts. In eclipse, I went to Eclipse/Preferences/Android/DDMS and changed "ADB Connection Timeout" from 5000ms to 15000ms.

Regards, Mark

But if I try to install the self-signed .apk on my phone, the installation simply aborts with "application not installed" after accepting the rights, no further error message displayed. I've got an HTC DHD running the latest (HTC!) Android version 2.3.5 API level 10. Emulator is configured for API level 10 (2.3.3) as well.
