Developers can see the device and app version on each comment on Android Market

Jan 25, 2012 by

Just noticed a nice update on developer facing Android Market panel. Now the developer can see the device user and the app version on each comment on Android Market. Which is a very nice addition to quite barren otherwise control panel. This will help to pinpoint problems more easily for the developers.

Another things that I would personally (and probably many of other Android developer as well) like to see are:

  • Andriod OS version
  • Possibility to answer to the comment – let the developer answer and send the answer to the user’s email automatically

There was a problem generating the Feed story from the provided data – Facebook gives headache to developers once again

Sep 28, 2011 by

Today I noticed that users of the Android app started experiencing problem with posting to Facebook, getting the following error:

There was a problem generating the Feed story from the provided data

There have already been a few threads on StackOverflow like this one for iOS and this one for Android.

It definitely like a problem Facebook created (once again – sigh)… I will try to update this entry with a resolution once there is one. Hopefully though Facebook developers will just fix this bug on their end as there are a lot of developers (including myself) who had their code working for months with no problems until today.

You can see the status of the bug and add yourself to the list here. Although the bug is open just for iOS, once fixed for iOS, it should be also fixed for Android.

If you happen to know how to fix this, please leave your response in the comments and I will update this entry so that others can fix this problem for their users in the meantime.

UPD: 6:45 EST – it seems that the problem has been resolved! Yey! Hopefully some users will realize that we (the developers) are not the ones to blame (most of the time) that Facebook integration suddenly stopped working. Hopefully the ones that realize this will stop giving bad ratings on App Store and Android Market because of that.

Using the latest version of Google Goggles on Android, you can automatically solve Sudoku. This is what a little creativity paired with technology does – it brings fun and innovation!

Android 2.4 codenamed Ice Cream is expected this summer. What’s next?

Jan 11, 2011 by

The rumors have it that Android 2.4 codenamed Ice Cream is expected this summer in June-July and the release will be announced at the Google/IO.

What’s next in store for Android releases? Will the next release going to be named “Jello” or maybe “Jam”? I personally vote for “Jello”
