Created files on Archos 5 invisible on Windows Xp

I am fairly new to Android and this is my first post so I apologise in advance if I am breaking protocol or posting to the wrong board. Please feel free to move this post to somewhere more appropriate if required. I am developing for the 160 Gb Archos 5 Internet tablet. Not ideal as a development platform I know, but customer requirements mean we have no choice. It is running Android 1.6. I have updated the device firmware to the most recent available. Updating the version of Android is not an option at this point. Part of my app's requirement is to write information out to .txt files on the external storage directory so that these can be copied over the USB connection to a Windows XP PC using the Mobile media device (MTP) mode. I have followed all instructions I have come across carefully, eg I check that the storage is available using the technique described at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal. However, althoug the files are created succesfully on the device (I can browse them and open them using the device's File Explorer - they are fine), when I connect the device to a Windows XP computer none of the directories or files I created appear and the size of their parent files suggest they do not exist. I have tried running over the ADB, checked logcat, tried a (signed) release version and even written a second test application which just creates a folder (this behaves the same, ie it creates the folder but this is not visible in Windows Explorer) - nothing anywhere gives me any suggestion as to what the problem might be. If anyone has heard of this before or has any ideas as to what else | could try to fix it please get in touch! We do not have any other devices to test on at the moment, although I hope to remedy this soon, customer permitting.

Archos ressuscite en abandonnant le « Made in France » et les tablettes haut de gamme

Archos ressuscite En abandonnant le « Made in France » et les tablettes haut de gamme Chiffre d'Affaires doublé en un an, une marge brute en progression de 70% et un résultat net enfin positif (5.7 millions d'euros), Archos ressuscite. Ces chiffres montrent que la stratégie du constructeur français porte ses fruits : changement de gamme avec des produits moins chers, progression de la R&D (de 2.5 millions à 3.7 millions d'euros), délocalisation de la production (en Chine) et « pénétration de nouveaux segments de marché autour d'Android ». Certains seront nostalgiques d'une production plus prestigieuse (voire ambitieuse ?) « made in France », mais force est...

How can I access shared XP files over wifi with an Archos 5 Internet Tablet with Android?

- by Fred

I have an Archos 5 Internet tablet with Android. I have been using it to stream video over my XP wifi network. Yesterday the Archos stopped seeing any of my computers. I have found some programs that allow me to see the network, so I know the hardware works. However, this program does not allow me to pick the correct program to play the files I want. I suspect the problem lies somewhere on the XP side. This would probably work better if the Archos 5 allowed me to manually input the IP address. Help?

What version(s) of Android should I be targeting?

- by Bill Osuch

If you're wondering about what screen sizes and flavors of Android are currently out in the wild, the Android Developers site has a handy little chart of both (each image below is hyperlinked to the page): So, as far as platforms go, there aren't many people still out there running less than 2.X... and you'd probably be safe not worrying about Small or Low Density screens. I'd be curious to know if any of the other app stores (Amazon, Archos, etc.) offer similar stats...

palmtop tablets with Android?

- by Stefano Borini

I was looking for a WiFi enabled palmtop tablet with Android (to replace this indecent tablet I bought just one week ago from a well known trendy company). At the moment, I see a lot of phones, and the only tablet is the Archos 5, which is not available yet. Am I missing something ? Please note: no phones. Just tablets. And no Nokia. I'd love Nokia, but it's not available here.

Seules les tablettes « munies d'un système d'exploitation propre » seront taxées : Windows épargné, pas Android ni iOS

Seules les tablettes « munies d'un système d'exploitation propre » seront taxées Windows est donc épargné Mise à jour du 28/12/10 Le PDG d'Archos ne décolère pas. Ses tablettes (sous Android) seront taxées au titre de la taxe pour copie privée, mais pas celles de ses concurrents qui choisiront Windows. La Commission chargée d'analyse le domaine d'application de cette taxe a en effet décidé que seuls les « OS pour terminaux mobiles » ou un « système d'exploitation propre » aux tablettes seront taxés. Les OS conçu initialement pour les ordinateurs de bureaux ne seront pas concernés (les PC échappant - jusqu'ici - à la copie privée...

Portable Device Path on Windows

- by Ripei

Hey guys I actually got an Windows/Java Question. I've got an plugged in Device which I want to access via Java. Normaly u can access an e.g. USB-Stick via the Drive letter... but this Tablet is displayed by Windows as an "Portable Device"... which means, that the Path is sth. like "Computer\Archos 5S" and there is no Drive letter. I want to access a File on this Device via Java, but I am not able to figure out the correct Path to it. There is a similar Question out there, but without a productive answear. Or is there an other way to access this Device via Java? thanks in advance ripei

Android: How to fade out search / home / menu / back buttons?

- by user548472

Hallo, I'm using my Android (Archos 43) only as an extended display in an industrial application. I just need a single programm to display data received and send user inputs by bluetooth. This little programm should start directly after booting and should disable (fade out) the android-buttons (search, home, menu and back). That's my plan. Here's my problem: I know, there are some applications which can fade out these search/home/menu/back-buttons (like DeskClock or some videoplayers). But how does it work? Just using android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" only disables the titlebar, not the 4 android-buttons. Thanks, Dennis
