Hi,
I'm interested in Qt app development which can be run on an Android OS. I'd like to just run the OS through emulation software to begin with, and hopefully span to fully fledged testing on a tablet or Samsung Nexus or similar. The trick is I want to be able to be able to attach a RFID reader (probably via mini/USB) to read RFID cards. Does anyone know of an OS already capable of doing this, or insight into the appropriate actions I should take to get this up and running?
The RFID cards will most probably be passive, by the way.

First off, yes I've read the stickies.
My problem is I've got no background what so ever. Nothing. I need to start from scratch. I'm very good at technical writing and would love to start putting together something for other people like me as well.
I know each device has specific things but even general information would be helpful. The problem with what I've run through so far is it assumes the reader understands programing, and/or Linux.
Specifically I'd like to get into ROM building. But even app development is lacking in info.
Any links would be very helpful.

You might want to read up on the two textbooks they posted there. I'm barely into them yet. These two languages are the basis of the android platform.
I got several questions regarding the lapdock.
I wanted a android tablet as i am going to college in about 3 months.
Now, does the lapdock work like it would as in a computer.
for example. am i able to write documents and print from it?
i know there are applications that do that. on android phones.
but how will they work on the lapdock. will it open a new screen? or will it stay in the phones window screen?
Hello, I have searched the forums and have been unable to find an answer to my question either here or through Google.
I am trying to figure out whether or not the HTC Evo 3D has the capability to use the Android Open Accessory that was supposed to be added in 2.3.4. Though, even though the phone supports may contain the libraries, the hardware itself may not support it. If some one could help me determine whether or not the phone is capable of connecting to an Arduino board it would help a lot. This is the one feature that I absolutely need to know it has before I purchase it.
Thank you for your time and I apologize if this has already been answered and I was unable to find it.
Android Arduino Board
The hardware can do it, but since the 3D is android v2.3.3, I don't think the libraries are there yet. Once HTC provides an update to v2.3.4 (or we gain perm root for custom roms), you should be "good to go".
Just FYI - the Arduino board acts as a USB Host since Android phones are normally USB devices. That and the software are all that is needed to talk to the board....
Thank you very much for your help.
I do not know why the USB Host bit slipped my mind. After all the board I am using is called Oleg's USB Host Shield. lol
Dear All
As my nusername suggests i am very new at this Android game and would like to draw on the wealth of experience that is out there.
I did not want to make a massive investment on my first tablet in case i couldn't get to grips with Android so i bought a cheap Chinese machine to fumble my way around. The problem is..... I cannot find any way of updating the Android version on the machine. From the machine itself, it tells me i am using Android version 2.3.1 but i know there are later versions out there but i don't know how or where to find the appropriate one for my machine.
The specifications of my machine and some photo's can be found on the attached Word doc and i would be greatful if anyone can help me out. I have managed to root the machine using Gingerbreak but i'm now stuck !!!
Thanks in anticipation
There isn't really support (if any) for most of those "cheap" Chinese Tablets.

Hi,
I am trying to build simple custom minimal kernel for my android phone (htc explorer). So from where do I find out memory map for it.
Thanks!
Memory map [QSC60X5] but will go with any Qualcomm processor
I was looking to ask similar minded questions and before posting a new thread in hardware, in my head that is what this is. Also I guess I have the mentality of a single ship solution using the QSC6085 as in the LG Rumor Touch.
When your looking at the memory dumped from CDMA Workshop or QXDM, are we looking at the attached NAND? I would think that is wrong but it is right in order of the memory map posted in the document 80-VC881-3 which I think includes registers and everything?
Thanks
