Nice.. the #android compatibility static library has fragments, loaders, lrucache and more #android #dev #
No kidding. It is gonna rock! ♻ @gfontejon: Looking forward to monday – #andevcon #
#android #fragments and other classes from static honeycomb backport now also for #maven users http://goo.gl/4nSOo #

Now that the static library for Fragments support down to Android 1.6 is available as part of the SDK download, I have updated the Maven Android SDK Deployer to push the jar into your Maven repository so you can use it as part of your Android project built with the great Maven Android Plugin.

Check out the details on the documentation for the deployer and hopefully see you at AnDevCon next week.

Yesterday Google got the static libraries for Honeycomb features support out into the SDK so we can all use some of the new API’s down to 1.6. Just before that happened I got interviewed by SD Times about developing with HoneyComb. See what I had to say…

I have been interested in Extreme Programming and other agile methods for ages and with that came an interest in startup listening to ThisWeekInStartups, Mixergy, Stanford Enterpreneurial Thought Leadership and other podcasts for a long time. Of course I could not help finding out about the lean startup movement so when I heard that Eric Ries is coming to town I jumped at the chance to hear him speak. Let us see how it went..

Good thing I can build a non-obfuscated apk. Otherwise this would be just painful. #androiddev #proguard #
Hahaha .. retweeted about a plumber as a victim of a SEO sales pitch and now I got @PlumberUpdate following me. So here… I use pex not cu. #
I love refactoring, especially when you end up with less code in the end. thanks #roboguice @AndroidDev #
Update of the #maven #android sdk deployer supporting 3.0 honeycomb release now available. http://goo.gl/Ha5hq #
Is the Loader stuff going to be in older platform versions in a static library like fragments? @AnDevCon @timbray @retomeier @romainguy #
ddms finally has a decent icon… what was that old one anyway? @AndroidDev #

Any ideas how to determine element of url from webview shouldOverRideUrlLoading http://t.co/PCgLq0g #

The organizers of AnDevCon have been supportive of my idea to host two fireside chats and it is all going to happen. The fireside chats will be networking and discussion sessions about Android community leader ship as well as Android development tooling.

I have updated the Maven Android SDK Deployer with support for the full release of the 3.0 platform of the Android SDK so that all Maven users can build their tablet apps before the open source built jars get into Maven central. Get it while its hot 😉

PS: I have since updated to fix a tiny glitch as well as added the missing maps jar..

Thats why many can't come to IO? ♻ @googleio: We're up early today! Remember to refresh your browsers. We <3 our developers. #
Found two infrastructure #ubuntu related problems with #hudsonci today. Now they are both fixed 😉 #
I love how fast the #android emulator comes back alive when using snapshots. Thanks @AndroidDev @droidxav #
#google code is more down that up today for me.. #

Hacking with #robotium #robolectric and #calculon in one evening. #android dev fun. #
Finishing touches put on my #android testing presentation for #andevcon done. Just some coding left 😉 #
Looks like #nokia is about to wake up. Exciting times. Who will wake up #RIM #
Definitely a good read and warmup for the 11th. ♻ @timbray: Whatever you think of Nokia's chances & choices, that's a fucking good memo. #

Its awesome to have a #groovy wizard like @kellyrob99 as a friend. He beat XmlNodePrinter into submission with one hit! #awesome #
No problem .. payback for #roboguice 😉 ♻ @emmby: @simpligility You rock my maven world #
