Can Google build open source communities

While the Googlers want to talk today about improvements to GMail for mobile , there remains a serious concern for you to discuss this weekend. Is Google really good at being part of an open source community? There are three types of mobile source projects: One-company projects. Multiple-company projects. Community projects, which may or may not have a commercial arm. Google has proven it has great open source developers. An open source project that is headed by Google will get th

(pre- & post-) processing raw audio data

I want to develop an app that lets one intercept raw audio data sent for playback (possibly by a different app), and apply audio enhancements over this raw data. Does Cupcake allow such filtering of audio data? If so, which API should I use? I understand this may not be possible at an application level for security

Re: [android-developers] Are there alternate ways to look up user phone number when TelephonyManager returns null?

Not only does this apparently return null in some cases (like you got), it does not have to necessarily return a valid value. I tried your code, and I get a phone number that I *think* is what I was originally assigned when I bought the G1, before my other T-Mobile number could be ported over. So I am not certain this method is reliable in any case.

If you mean you map 'String's to 'int's, then yes, you have some overhead because of the autoboxing of Java, making 'int's into 'Integer's.

Yes and no. No because you still need to hide the view yourself. Yes because you can just do this: myView.startAnimation(myAnimat ion); myView.setVisibility(View.INVI SIBLE); // or GONE Android will hide the View and run the animation but still draw the View as long as the animation is running.
