Does anyone know how to remove or hide the menu and search buttons from the soft key menu. I'd like to accomplish what is being done in the Pulse app where the search button is hidden or the Kindle Fire help & feedback app where both the search and menu buttons are hidden. I was curious if they are actually modifying the soft key menu, or making the app fullscreen and placing a graphic of the menu in it's place. I'm aware of This post , which does not adequately answer the question, as there are example of apps with what appears to be modified soft keys. you can't customize what appears on the

I am trying to run the demo android maps project(MapsDemo) that comes along with the Android SDK (Google API 10) on my Kindle Fire but it throws this exception when the application is installing.

We integrated Facebook login on our Kindle Fire android app. It works without any problem most of the time. But occasionally for some users, when they try to register using facebook login, it fails with the error "APp is misconfigured for facebook login". We checked the hash key, package name and all that, they all are correct. As i said, it works for 95% of the users. For those users it fails, it fails repeatedly. Anybody from facebook can help us resolve this issue? Appreciated. (BTW, we use the same facebook app for our google play version of the android app also with a different hash key,

I am currently trying to test an existing application for compatibility with the soon to be released Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. They say to set the emulator at 600x1024 and LCD Density to 169 ( https://developer.amazon.com/help/faq.html?ref_=pe_132830_21362890#KindleFire although in email they said 160 instead of 169) and that it should report out as being "large" and not "xlarge" (this I have from a back and forth email exchange with their support team where I'm complaining it does not work). Google seems to support this as being true in their section on testing for multiple screen sizes when

I'm developing an application for tablet 7 inch Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7 . These two applications are the same size and the same screen resolution. However, I run my application, it is very different. Why? it seems this is because the nexus 7 is detected as TVDPI, and the Kindle Fire HD is HDPI. How to have a same rendering based on a model 1280 * 800? Thank you Well, it seems you've already discovered why the two have differences, it's because they report different density scale factors: Nexus 7: TVDPI: Scale Factor = 1.333 Kindle Fire HD: HDPI: Scale Factor = 1.5 So why do they report

AFAIK, push notifications require a Google account to work (they piggyback on GTalk), so does that mean for apps for the Kindle Fire are doomed if they use the standard C2DM approach? I couldn't find any info on push in the Kindle Fire FAQ or anywhere on the web. As far as I know yes. Everything I have read indicates that Amazon stripped C2DM support out of the Fire. I know right? If you or your users are willing to root it, installing Google services is an option. Urban Airship has a push service named Helium which purportedly works with Kindle Fire. I have yet to be able to try it though.

Does anyone know how to detect if the app is running on Kindle Fire ? My app needs to turn off a few features if running on the Kindle Fire and I want to use the same build as Google Marketplace. Marek Stój You can read android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER and android.os.Build.MODEL . On a Kindle Fire 1st Generation they are 'Amazon' and 'Kindle Fire' respectively. For model codes of newer Kindle Fire devices, see Device and Feature Specifications on Amazon's developer site. Based on the official Kindle Fire Device and Feature Specifications I currently use this code: public static boolean

What do I need to do to use my Kindle Fire for android development? (Specifically for testing my apps on the device.) Josh Metcalfe You can find the instructions for connecting Kindle Fire to the ADB in a PDF of instructions provided by Amazon. Paraphrased from the document: Edit the adb_usb.ini file (located in ~/.android/) Add the lines: 0x1949 0x0006 Save the file. Run these commands to restart adb: adb kill-server adb start-server adb devices NOTE: For Windows 7 users you need to download an additional driver . Yang Tang Linux uses a different way to set up the device. According to Using
