Sorry I'm new to Android handsets. When you do a startActivity(intent) does it involve hitting Googles cloud services at all to resolve the [handler] or is this purely a local call?

Coming from J2ME programming are there any similarities that would make it easy to adapt to Android API. Or is Andorid API completely different from the J2ME way of programming mobile apps.
In Android documentation concerning code signing we can read: "By signing multiple applications with the same certificate and using signature-based permissions checks, your applications can share code and data in a secure manner."
How exactly such code sharing can be done? Is it possible to release main application and multiple exchangeable plugins then discover them at runtime? What does source code looks like and what are advantages over "standard" intents calls from/to different APK packages?

I have an Android activity with an ImageButton. I would like to execute some logic when the button is clicked and show a different image for the pressed state, but also receive the touch event on the activity.
By default only the button receives the touch event. If I set the clickable attribute of the button to false then only the activity receives the touch event.
What's the best way to receive the touch event in both the activity and the button?

HI all,
I'm just getting started with developing for Android. I'm looking to port one of my iPhone applications, but I'm kind of at a loss for how to draw a view at runtime (a view not declared in the XML). Basically, I want to draw a simple rectangle, but then be able to manipulate its frame after being drawn.
Sorry if this is a really, really simple question, but I can't seem to find some equivalent to the iPhone SDK here.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I am planning on converting some longitude and latitude values to XML and then sending the file to a web server to display on a Google Map Interface.
Is it possible to send an XML file to a web server through my own application in Android?

Does anyone know any guide to test android application on different hardware emulators and also step by step process to publish the application once it is developed and tested on a local emulator?
I'm trying to get a completely custom Dialog or PopupWindow, without any of the default Android UI controls (title, background, buttons, whatever).
Is this possible at all? I've spent hours searching for this, but no luck... It seems like this should be easily possible, but I can't find it.
Preferably this would be by inflating a View from XML, but at this point anything that would just work would be nice.
Thanks.

I have a layout xml file named my_layout.xml, in which the root view's layout_width and layout_height has been specified as 200px.
<com.jlee.demo.MyLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="200px"
android:layout_height="200px">
If I used this xml to be included in another xml, and specify the layout_width and layout_height as 100px.
<include layout="@layout/my_layout"
android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="100px"/>
What would be the real width/height of my_layout?
