Battery Life on Andriod Phones
by Odhiambo Washington 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

For those of you who own Android phones, do you see a shortened battery life on the Android phones as compared to the Symbian or Winblows-based phones? We are testing the Garmin M10 (windows Mobile Pro 6.5.3) and Garmin A10 (Android v2.1 Eclair)<http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3295&idPhone2=3097> . For some reason, same user behavior, the Android battery seems to run down so fast. Or is it just the (mis)behaviour of the user?:-) BTW: Several M10s are available, if someone is interested in buying:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Re: [Skunkworks] Modular programming in Java
by Steve Obbayi 23 Nov '10

I hardly do any programming in Java so i cant refer any good reding material to you but that does not mean I cant point you in the right direction. Here goes. I assume by module you are talking about plugins. Nways, the general idea here is to develop a core system, then develop a wrapper around that This is a wrapper to the API. Nways, in the wrapper you will have determined what functions and classes and data you want to expose to the modules and minimum condition each module must meet to plug into the API. So if I want a module that appears on a menubar, it appears on a certain canvas and can access the systems data, in my API I would have a function to register my module on the menubar, another on the specific canvas and maybe my module would be given access to the data based on some pre determined key through specific functions. Thats the general thought process (if you are building it from scratch). Like I said , I cant refer you to Java resources but hope this is a start.
