The Cycle Hire Widget is available to download for free from Android Market. It works by displaying the 3 nearest cycle hire places to you and how far away from them you are. The Cycle Hire Widget also confirms if cycles are available at these three locations. There is also a flag status system to confirm other criteria such as closed, no cycle spaces available and cycles low.

Pipe programming with LiveFolders

by Gabor Paller

Pipes has emerged in the web programming allowing fast a composition of existing services. In this programming model, applications consume and produce feeds (generally in RSS format). As the format is uniform and purely string-based, they can be combined by simple operations, much like Unix pipes.

In this presentation, I will use the Android LiveFolder construct to build a similar model inside the Android device. Even though the project is in prototype phase, I hope it can inspire others to experiment with this programming paradigm.

Performance Analysis on the Android Platform

by Akshay Dashrath

Performance is an issue with programming on the Android platform because of various reasons such as constrained resources and the extra abstraction layer in the form of the Dalvik Virtual Machine.

In order to gauge the performance of applications written for the Android platform we have several tools. This talk briefly outlines performance analysis using the TraceView tool provided in the SDK as well as analysing heap dumps of the Dalvik VM.
