Helping you build beautiful, powerful, successful apps

2012-10-25T18:54:00.000-07:00

[This post is by Billy Rutledge, Director of Developer Relations for Android. — Tim Bray]

Just in time for Google I/O next week, the Android Developers site is stepping into a new look that is streamlined, simplified, and refocused. A developer's tasks fall into three baskets: Designing, developing, and distributing. We're trying to make developer.android.com's organization reflect this reality, shepherding you through the app development life cycle, from start to finish.

Design

Earlier this year, we launched Android Design, an online style guide which lays out the principles, building blocks, and patterns for excellence in Android user interfaces. It seems to be working; every day, we see more and more beautiful apps arriving in Google Play. At I/O, we'll continue to talk design, kicking off with Android Design for Success, led by Matias Duarte.

Develop

An Android app should be fast, powerful and useful. With Android Training, one of the many parts of the Develop section that we continue to build out, we lay out best practices in a variety of framework topics to help you achieve those goals. If you're at I/O and you're interested in Android tools, be sure to start off your show with What's new in Android Developers' Tools.

Distribute

The most important piece of the piece of the puzzle is about getting your app in front of millions and millions of Android users on Google Play. That's why we added a section on distributing your app — a peek into the world of publishing and promoting your app. Chris Yerga on the Play team will be kicking off our how-to sessions on distributing your with Android apps in Google Play.

This is just a small sample of the Android sessions at Google I/O, many of which will be live-streamed so you can follow along even if you can't make it out to San Francisco. In the meantime, we hope you find the new Android Developer site much more useful as you build great apps.

Skype para Windows Phone en beta privada

2012-10-24T18:38:00.001-07:00

Hace tiempo ya que se viene hablando de cómo será la integración de Skype con Windows Phone, sobre todo después de que Microsoft lo comprara.

Ayer mismo hablábamos de lo que se espera para Windows Phone Tango, y justamente una de las novedades sería la integración de Skype como aplicación nativa, algo que no parece tan lejano si tenemos en cuenta que Skype para Windows Phone ya se encuentra en una versión beta privada.

Ya hace un tiempo se sabe que Microsoft está trabajando en lanzar la aplicación de Skype que sea compatible con su propio SO móvil, Windows Phone, y ya se sabe que en las próximas semanas se comenzaran a enviar invitaciones para testear su aplicación en esta beta privada que actualmente comienza a estar disponible.

También hay un detalle extra, y es que los nuevos equipos Windows Phone cuentan con cámaras frontales, lo que le permite a los usuarios poder disfrutar de las funciones de video llamadas sin ningún problema, además de la típica función de llamadas de voz.

Por lo que se sabe, por ahora Skype será una aplicación más, sin tener una gran integración con el SO, a diferencia de lo que podríamos llegar a imaginar sabiendo que Skype ahora es propiedad de Microsoft, pero habrá que esperar a las próximas versiones para saber si esto se puede dar en el futuro.

EA and Glu Report Mobile Game Sales Results

2012-10-22T19:48:00.001-07:00

Two of the biggest mobile game developers in the world, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU) announced quarterly results this week.

While EA's overall business continues to struggle, mobile was a bright spot with the company reporting that their mobile revenues were up 24% year-over-year to $189 million. For the fiscal fourth quarter, EA Mobile recorded $48 million in revenues, up 14% year-over-year.

Glu reported revenues of $20.8 million, compared to $20.6 million in the first quarter of 2008 which represents less than a 1% increase year over year.

If I was a Glu shareholder I'd be pretty disappointed with Glu's results. Although EA is a bigger company , the mobile games business is growing fairly rapidly (see post coming soon) and Glu should be growing at a similar pace to EA.

If you read Glu's full release and if you've been following the company over the last year, a lot of their lack of growth is due to the fact that Glu was very late to the iPhone party. They've started to ramp up lately with a number of high quality releases on that platform including the very fun Glyder title, but it's clear that they've still got a lot of work to do to get their business to take off further.

EA, on the other hand, was early to the iPhone an their games have done very well. Just in the past couple weeks, EA announced five new iPhone titles and executives said they expect to introduce 30 games for the iPhone this year.

Southern-hemisphere Developer Labs

2012-10-18T19:22:00.001-07:00

We've just scheduled Android Developer Labs for Melbourne (January 31), Sydney (February 3), and Auckland (February 8). The material is not introductory; it's aimed at people with existing apps who want to make them better in the era of Ice Cream Sandwich and tablets. You'll want to show up with the SDK installed, and a couple of devices.

If this describes you, drop by the ADL page and sign up. You should hurry, because these are not large-scale events and there are more qualified people than there are seats.

New Seller Countries in Google Play

2012-10-15T11:04:00.001-07:00

Over the past year we've been working to expand the list of countries and currencies from which Android developers can sell their products. Starting today, developers in Czech Republic, Israel, Poland, and Mexico can sell priced applications and in-app products on Google Play, using their local bank accounts for payments. Welcome developers!

If you develop Android apps in one of the new countries and want to get started selling them, visit play.google.com/apps/publish and set up a new Google Play developer account. Once you've uploaded your apps, you can price them in any available buyer currencies, publish, and then receive payouts and financial data in your local currency.

If you are based in Israel or Mexico and are currently selling apps through an AdSense merchant account, you will need to migrate your apps to a new Google Play developer account in your local currency. Watch for an email that provides complete information on the migration process and timeline.

Additionally, we encourage developers everywhere to visit the Developer Console as soon as possible to set prices for their products in the currencies of these new countries. Stay tuned for more announcements soon as we continue to roll out our new billing infrastructure to buyers and sellers throughout the world.

Unifying Key Store Access in ICS

2012-10-14T14:49:00.001-07:00

[This post is a group effort by Tony Chan, Fred Chung, Brian Carlstrom, and Kenny Root. — Tim Bray]

Android 4.0 (ICS) comes with a number of enhancements that make it easier for people to bring their personal Android devices to work. In this post, we're going to have a look at the key store functionality.

Back in Android 1.6 (Donut), a system key store was added for use by VPN. Although this was later expanded to support WiFi authentication, applications weren't able to access it.

In the past, it was common practice for apps to maintain their own key store if they needed to authenticate a secure SSL web server, or authenticate the user to a server via a client certificate. While this works, it can present manageability issues in an enterprise environment where multiple certificates may be shared across a number of apps such as Email and Browser.

New in ICS: KeyChain

To bridge the gap in ICS, there's a new API named KeyChain that regulates application access to the system key store and allows users to grant application access to the credentials stored there. Additionally, this API enables applications to initiate installation of credentials from X.509 certificates and PKCS#12 key stores.

The KeyChain API is rather simple. To install a key store or a certificate, you retrieve an install intent, supply the raw bytes of the credentials, and use the intent to launch a system installation dialog. If it's a keystore, as in the example below, you'll need provide the data in PKCS#12 format, and the user will have to know the PKCS#12 password.

  byte[] keystore = . . (read from a PKCS#12 keystore)      Intent installIntent = KeyChain.createInstallIntent();    installIntent.putExtra(KeyChain.EXTRA_PKCS12, keystore);    startActivityForResult(installIntent, INSTALL_KEYSTORE_CODE);

The install intent launches a system dialog that prompts the user to enter the password for the keystore.

This can also be used for installing organizational CA certificates which will then be trusted by all applications to authenticate to non-public servers with certificates issued by the same CA.

In ICS, Android no longer requires a separate password to protect the system credential storage. Rather, it uses the screen lock password for this purpose, and the Android Device Administration API can be used for central policy enforcement. This means, for example, that the screen lock password can't be removed as long as the secured credentials remain on the device.

Accessing System Key Store Credentials

Once the system key store is configured, the KeyChain API offers functions such as requesting a client certificate for authenticating with an SSL server. The first time an application requests access, the user is prompted with a list of available certificates and can select one to grant access to that certificate to the application. If the user chooses to allow access to a certificate, a string alias name for the certificate is returned to the application. The application can then use the alias to access the certificate in the future without further user involvement.

The code below illustrates how an application can prompt the user to select a credential alias and grant access to the application. KeyChain will remember this selection such that the same application can save the credential alias selection and have access to the same certificate in future. For example, the Email application for ICS has implemented this feature in its Server Settings screen.

  KeyChain.choosePrivateKeyAlias(this,      new KeyChainAliasCallback() {            public void alias(String alias) {              // Credential alias selected.  Remember the alias selection for future use.              if (alias != null) saveAlias(alias);          }      },      new String[] {'RSA', 'DSA'}, // List of acceptable key types. null for any      null,                        // issuer, null for any      'internal.example.com',      // host name of server requesting the cert, null if unavailable      443,                         // port of server requesting the cert, -1 if unavailable      null);                       // alias to preselect, null if unavailable

Once an application has been granted access to the certificate, it can access the private key through the getPrivateKey() method. It is worth noting that as with any PrivateKey objects, the application should not make assumptions about the encoding. For example, on some implementations the PrivateKey object may just be an opaque representation of a key stored in a hardware key store.

Here's a sample code snippet that demonstrates the use of private key retrieved from the key store for signing:

    PrivateKey privateKey = KeyChain.getPrivateKey(context, savedAlias);      if (privateKey != null) {          ...          Signature signature = Signature.getInstance('SHA1withRSA');          signature.initSign(privateKey);          ...      }

A common use of the private key is for SSL client authentication. This can be implemented by using an HttpsURLConnection with a custom X509KeyManager that returns the PrivateKey retrieved from the KeyChain API. The open source Email application for ICS uses KeyChain with an X509ExtendedKeyManager. To learn more, have a look at the source code (in SSLUtils.java).

This API provides a unified way to access the system key store credentials. If your application uses client certificates (take note: enterprise email client or web browser developers) you should definitely look into the KeyChain API for your next update!

Outsourced Journalism

2012-09-19T13:44:00.001-07:00

Add writing and reporting to the list of jobs that are now being outsourced. Although native foreign correspondents have been around for decades, news sources such as one in Pasadena, California, have begun outsourcing its local news coverage to reporters in India:

James Macpherson, editor and publisher of the Pasadena Now website, hired two reporters last weekend to cover the Pasadena City Council. One lives in Mumbai and will be paid $12,000 a year. The other will work in Bangalore for $7,200. The council broadcasts its meetings on the Web. From nearly 9,000 miles away, the outsourced journalists plan to watch, then write their stories while their boss sleeps — India is 12.5 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time.

"A lot of the routine stuff we do can be done by really talented people in another time zone at much lower wages," said Macpherson, 51, who used to run a clothing
business with manufacturing help from Vietnam and India.

Although this might be an isolated case, it could catch on if publishers perceive a real cost savings. Or not, if they sense a loss of a connection to the communities they are covering.

Cellphone Calls from 29,000 feet

2012-09-18T20:34:00.001-07:00

Can You Hold On Honey? I Have to Climb This Mountain Real Quick.

For all you cell phone users out there planning on climbing Mt. Everest, you can breathe a little easier now. Earlier this week Nepal Telecom, Nepal's largest telecom company, announced that they plan to build a cell phone tower that will provide coverage for up to 3,000 calls at a time. One can only assume that limit will never be reached.

Nepal Telecom has a base of 2.8 million customers, about a tenth of all people from Nepal, and 60% of all cell phone users in the country. The company has installed seven satellite antennas around the mountain, and will be providing coverage as early as June this year. The Nepali company hopes to provide an alternative to those who have rely on satellite telephones when taking the climb.

Let's hope we never hear about an avalanche caused by a chatty climber.

Gavin Nachbar is a freelance writing cell phone talker who he, himself, never plans on climbing Mt. Everest.

In-app Subscriptions in Google Play

2012-09-02T07:58:00.001-07:00

[This post is by Ibrahim Elbouchikhi, Product Manager on the Google Play team. —Dirk Dougherty]

We launched In-app Billing on Google Play a year ago to give developers more ways to sell and engage users over the lifetime of their apps. Since the launch, In-app Billing has been extremely successful in helping developers monetize their apps through try-and-buy, virtual goods, upgrades, and other popular business models. Today, 23 of the 24 top-grossing apps in Google Play use In-app Billing, and the total revenue generated from in-app purchases exceeds revenue from traditional app purchases.

We're now taking In-app Billing further by adding another important business model — subscriptions. Starting today, developers can use In-app Billing to sell monthly or annual subscriptions from inside of their apps. All subscriptions are auto-renewing, for every app and game and every type of subscription product. Developers just set the price and billing interval and Google Play manages the purchase transactions for them, just as it does for other in-app products and app purchases.

For users, Google Play provides a familiar and convenient purchase experience, highlighting subscription details such as price and billing interval before continuing with purchases. After the transaction, Google Play manages recurring billing and keeps users informed of new charges, sending them an email with each renewal. At any time, users can visit My Apps in the Play Store app to view their subscriptions and cancel any subscription as needed.

While making it easy for developers to offer a great purchasing experience, our subscriptions are also designed for flexibility. Developers can use them to monetize premium dynamic content such as journals and magazines, but they can also use them to sell access to bundled products, game levels, music and video content, value-added services, or any other digital content.

Building on Google Play's strength as a truly cloud-connected experience, developers can offer users the ability to carry their subscriptions across multiple properties, services, or campaigns. To make this easier, we're introducing an HTTP-based publisher API through which enterprise-scale backend servers can validate or cancel subscriptions. Using this API, for example, developers can extend access from their Android apps to their web properties, based on subscriptions that are purchased on Google Play.

In the coming days, several developers will be launching apps with Google Play subscriptions and we expect many more to follow. Glu Mobile is launching updated versions of its top Android titles, including Frontline Commando, offering subscriptions through custom VIP currency packages. 'We're using Google Play subscriptions to offer consumers a compelling value and a single currency which they can use across Glu's most popular titles" says Niccolo de Masi, CEO of Glu. "We're excited to bring these capabilities to our Android users and we believe that Google Play subscriptions will fuel further growth in our business.'

If you're a developer, you can get started with subscriptions right away by reading the In-app Billing documentation and downloading the updated sample app. If you are already using in-app billing, you'll find that adding support for subscriptions is straightforward and involves only minor changes to your code.

You can publish your updated apps and subscription products as soon as you are ready. We've already rolled out client support to most Android devices worldwide, so any user with Google Play 3.5 or higher installed can buy subscriptions starting today.

We're looking forward to seeing how you use subscriptions in your apps!

New Sales Reports on Google Play

2012-08-31T19:36:00.001-07:00

[This post is by Debashish Chatterjee, Krishna Atkuru, and Ellie Powers of the Google Play Publisher Site team. —Dirk Dougherty]

For app publishers, complete and timely sales reporting is incredibly useful for managing a business on Google Play. Today we are introducing a new financial tool — Estimated Sales Reports — to give you visibility over ongoing product sales and help you support customers between payout cycles.

The new sales reports show you complete transaction details of recent sales and refunds for all products in your developer account, including both in-app products and paid apps. Each report is a cumulative for the current payout period, updated nightly with the details of recent transactions. As customers complete purchases and their accounts are charged (or refunds are applied), the new transaction details are appended to the Estimated Sales Report. Depending on account timezone differences, transactions appear on the estimated sales report within 2 days of completion. Finally, at the close of the monthly payout cycle, the current Estimated Sales Report is archived and a new report is created for the next cycle.

You can access current or past sales reports from the "Merchant Reports" section of the Developer Console. The Estimated Sales Reports are downloadable CSV (comma-separated values) files, so you can analyze the data using any tools you choose, in the same way as you've been doing for payout reports. The sales reports list the same details as payout reports — buyer and order, product, device information, amount, currency of sale, and more — except without final payment details. This makes it easier for you to reconcile recorded sales against your actual payouts. Estimated sales reports are available with data starting February 1, 2012.

We've also taken this opportunity to rename our existing "Merchant Sales Reports" to Monthly Payout Reports, to better reflect their content.

Together with the application statistics introduced last month, the Estimated Sales and Monthly Payout Reports give you a more complete view of your products' download and sales activity over time. We hope you'll find them useful. As always, please feel free to give us feedback through the Developer Help Center.

Mossberg Reviews the Palm Pre

2012-08-28T18:10:00.001-07:00

Walt Mossberg does a great review of the Palm Pre today. If you're considering the device or just curious, you should read it here.

Couple highlights:

'But on June 6, Apple will get a powerful competitor in this category. It's a beautiful, innovative and versatile hand-held computer that's fully in the iPhone's class. It's called the Pre, and it comes from Palm, the company that pioneered the hand-held computer in the 1990s. I've been testing the Pre for a couple of weeks, and I like it a lot, despite some important drawbacks that will have to be remedied.'

'All in all, I believe the Pre is a smart, sophisticated product that will have particular appeal for those who want a physical keyboard. It is thoughtfully designed, works well and could give the iPhone and BlackBerry strong competition -- but only if it fixes its app store and can attract third-party developers.'
