Android Bluetooth Support

Any word if and when Android will support MAP and other profiles?
Is there a possible workaround in the meantime?

Okay, what about utilizing iAnywhere Blue SDK? Anyone tried incorporating it?

This must be a taboo subject - there is literally no information anywhere on this. The only thing I could find is that Marvell has licensed the Android version of Blue SDK. Blue SDK for Andorid integrates MAP and a whole host of Bluetooth advanced profiles at a software level but I can't find anyone who has reported any experience with it.
Seriously, the iPhone and Blackberry all have built in support for advanced profiles. Android needs to get on board ASAP - the advanced profiles are crucial for automotive apps and next generation in-vehicle information/entertainment systems.
Does anyone have a contact with the Android developers they can PM me so I can try and find out if this is in the cards at all? This is terribly frustrating....

If you look the Droid 2/X it has support for MAP and some other protocols that the other android phones don't have. I'm currently looking at the Droid line to figure out where this support is and maybe see if I can port it to the Nexus.

Ubuntu on NST

Hi!
I have tryed following manual http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-rooted-transformer-prime/
There is also one paid app and one for free on the Market. I have not tried paid one, but the one for free didnt work (Linux installer)
Which lets you run Ubuntu on NST and it look that it works properly in the shell.
*However when one starts vncserver for gnome x11 it has some problems. One gets only blank desktop with only cursor on it.
-If someone with experience managed to install some really simple X11 on this Ubuntu image, I think that it could also run quite ok!
-Since vnc for android supports "DPAD to mouse cursor" one could also get support for USB - mouse and of course keyboard!
btw. I got Win95 running quite OK using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692682 However i dont see much of a use for it and it does not support DPAD - Mouse. There is another thead that says that you can run Win95 much faster if you use Bos Box Turbo - paid app
UPDATE 06.04.12: I am RUNNING UBUNTU, LXDE X11 + USB MOUSE, USB KEYBOARD on NOOK SIMPLE TOUCH
* you can find everything needed on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24517053
just down. and unpack files into sdcard/ubuntu/ and run from ConnectBot "sh sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.sh" some extra settings is needed to set up good VNC server.
* current issues:
- graphical iterface is very lagy - slow. It should be possible to install Ratpoison or Awesome desktop. Since Nook is only black/white VNC conneciton should be simplified. And there is no need for so much icons/pictures in the interface. Also much lighter distros ARM ports are comming up - Puppy linux and so on.
- USB mouse to DPAD which does android VNC need settings for inverting and sensitivity.
UPDATE 26.4.12.:
There is this app that runs X11 natively on the android!!!! I expect much better performance for linux on android soon. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.darkside.XServer

hehe.
However, Google Play says my nook isnt compatible w/ all Installer apps

you can install it manually - find in the cited thread

and the battery time?
how many hours it can live?

dont know. you can try. complicated X are too slow. one should use ratpoisoin with some really simple x. some research is needed.

check out new update

[Q] java vs javascript? diffrence?

so im coming from c++ and trying to learn to create apps. im interested in using android studio to create apps so now i need to learn java.
quick question about java, im assuming java is for application development , and javascript is for browser related apps? am i correct? close?
also were is the thread showing how to install android studio and all the programs required? i stumbled upon it earlier, but i cant remember where it was at.

You are correct, java is for application development , in your case for Android development, and javascript is for web development.

More specifically,
JavaScript:
Interpreted
Runs in the browser, works on mobile devices
Runs on the client side (NOT the server)
Sandboxed so you won't be able to do low level stuff
Cross platform
JAVA
Compiled
Runs on the client or on the server
To run in the browser it needs a plugin so won't work on mobile devices
You can do low level stuff
Cross platform
I won't get into personal preferences, but there are many other differences, most of which will come evident when you start making stuff. If you want to make cross platform mobile apps you might want to look into Apache Crodova that uses HTML and JavaScript but can interface with device hardware too.

[Tool][Linux] ADB Device Studio

Hey all,
I'm about to start developing an open source project for managing android devices from a Linux machine.
Technology stack is going to be;
Symfony (5.1 / PHP 7.4)
VueJs 2.* (ECMAScript 6 / TypeScript/ Buefy)
I'm still setting up the architecture for the backend and yet to begin on the frontend. For the frontend I've got a prebuily VueJs codebase I can use for the frontend architecture
Preliminary road map
Devices details
File manage
Screen interaction (Screenshot, record, touch control)
APK manager
Root / Fastboot tools
Where possible (at least in the beginning) I was to avoid functionality that is specific to devices and custom roms.
If you interested in getting involved drop me a reply on here. Eventually looking to distribute this over APT so would be really good for someone looking to add to or start there portfolio.

Help getting started developing on Android Auto

Hi,
I'm mainly a backend developer, I used to do small application development for Android & iOS but that's really just normal. Never customized a ROM before.
I always wanted to start side project to customize the Head Unit on my car.
Mainly i want to be able to
- Customize look and feel (create a custom launcher?)
- Develop custom software (for example app that interact with OBD2
I've browse multiple thread but there's so much information.
I would appreciate pointers to get started.
1. Finding reliable good enough Head Unit for my VW Polo gen IV (9N). Any recommendation?
2. Is there any 'Getting started' article / resource?
3. What do you think would be a good task to start with?
Kind regards,
