Developing Android applications on a shared server
We are trying to use a shared server (Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit) to develop Android applications. The thought is that a number of developers should use the shared server for development. We have overcome some obstacles such as setting the base port for DDMS. So it is possible to run multiple emulators and multiple instances of Eclipse.
But we run into problems when trying to debug applications from Eclipse. It seems as though all emulators are trying to connect to the same Eclipse instance when debugging.
Has anyone succeeded with this?
I know that this is a really bad idea, but I need to gather facts in order to have a strong case...

Answer 1
This sounds like an absolutely horrible idea. Each developer should have their own instance of Java, Eclipse and the Android SDK installed on their local machines. To work on the same project simply share the project via a Source Control solution which resides on a shared server (CVS/SVN/Git).

database - What is more usual to persist data when developing Android applications?
I'm developing an application that would need to persist data locally in Android devices. I'm aware that Android provides two packages for database persistence, the normal "java.sql" and the "android.database.sqlite"? Which one is used more for persistence? I suppose that "android.database.sqlite" is the implementation of "java.sql", right?

Developing native applications to run both on Android & iPhone?
I'm new to mobile phones development, but I wonder whether there is any way to develop native apps (HTML-based apps is another story) that would run both on Android and iPhone? I know that there exist applications available for both OSs, so I wonder how are they ported/developed for both targets?

java - Passing class instances between applications in Android
I have an application App1 which defines class A and uses instances of this class.

eclipse - How can I handle package names better while building a suite of android applications
I'm building a suite of applications, meaning that I have a single set of code that gets customized via a single change of an API key. This means that all of the applications have the same activities, same behaviors, but different icons, package names, and application names depending on the client I am building for.
Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a clean way to do this. Because the package name is what the An...
