I know this is the wrong section but I dont have enough posts to get into the right section , and I cant make 10 posts without creating spam, as a webmaster I know how much spam sucks and users saying "cool post, kthxbai" 10 times.
Anyways,
I'm brand new to android development, I just got eclipse set up and working. When I try to drag and drop any buttons to the emulated screen, the orange lines prevent me from dropping and buttons or elements. I have no idea why the lines are there because I used to be able to drag and drop just fine.
here is an image of my screen, apparently I need 8 posts to have a picture link

How do I get rid of these orange lines, and what do they mean?
I very much appreciate any help I can get and I greatly appreciate you for your time. Thank you

Hi often I have a problem getting drop down boxes to allow me to put in a question. The system, Inc this site, rejects me as soon as I try to type anything in search. Same on SGS yesterday and resulted in using main computer which I was hoping to get rid of now. Any suggestions on glitch?

Sorry, can you give more info? You want to put a question into a drop down box? What software are you talking about? Are you talking about the internet? What system rejects you, and when? Be specific and give the relevant information.
I have the same problem. Using stock or non stock browser, can't use drop down menus normally. Seems to go to the first link in the drop down list, instead of pausing at the whole list long enough to make the selection you want to make. On this site for instance, trying to click on the "search this thread," it doesn't stay up long enough to type anything.
Perhaps unrelated but equally frustrating is trying to edit this post I'm currently writing. When trying to move the cursor, it will jump on me and not go where I had intended it to go. Anyone have a solution for either of these problems, I would love them dearly. Unfortunately the only solution I've found so far is to use my desktop/laptop or GASP! my wife's iPad.
To clarify, looks like most of the pulldowns work on this site, with the exception being trying to type into the drop down "search this thread" button.
Also, on the jumping cursor bit, seems to happen with either stock or non stock keyboards.
How the f*** do I get to see the comments on apps in marketplace? I can´t even figure out how to make a new comment on my own?
The sad thing is that I´ve just swapped my Nexus S for this Nokia (wanted to try something new, and thought the WP7.5 looked interesting) After a couple of days playing around it seems like it is as "closed source" as the iPhone which I did not like at all
Swipe left when on the program install page in market?
It is as closed as the iOS eco-system, that's never been a secret.
As for seeing the ratings, it's easy, after tapping on the app that you want, just swipe the screen to the left, or tap the 'reviews' header:
Thanks to both of you. Stupid Me.. Didn´t occour to Me at all
Hello. I recently got into making themes a little bit, and wanted to begin making them myself, I was wondering if someone could point me to a guide or shoot me some advice about a few things: first, obviously, the programs I would need and how to set them up. A good place to learn about theming sold, and how to sign them if need be. Also if anyone out there has any information on boot animations, specifically regarding limitations (ie length, fps, amount of jpg files). I'm looking for information on modifying status bar icons and notification icons. I have found that the programs/files I use now are very disorganized and sometimes hard to find. I was hoping another themer out there could help me organize, maybe send screens of how your files are setup. If it matters I was hoping to start device specific (HTC ReZound) for now and once I got the hang of things move in up. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, Ive gotten my feet wet but I'm still a noob. Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I have a few questions. I looked around a bit before posting this, but I may have missed some stuff so if I need to remove this thread just let me know that I should have looked harder(and kindly provide a link please).
First I would like to know how to get into "Themeing". I want to know how to change the colors mostly. I can usually find the file I need to edit in order to change the icon shape, but If I'm not mistaken, the colors are probably controlled in an xml file. They may all look for a "central file" that contains the colors, or I may need to change each one individually. If there is a central file could someone help me find out what it is.
I have only found how to edit apps, so here's where I get a major case of the noobs. Are the system colors controlled by the launcher or the theme or is there a UI that can be edited what do I need to do. I want to be able to change the number styles, the fonts of the keyboard, and all that jazz. The most important thing, though; is that I need to be able to change the colors. I really don't have an issue with the current fonts and don't have a good idea what to replace them with anyway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that the above train wreck is over I have some harder questions.
I also want to get into developing. I will probably start by modifying someone else's. (side question, could I re-release theirs with my changes just so that people could test it provided I ask and give them credit. I know this depends on the person, but is it taboo, or just a no for some people) I already read through and followed shrike1978's. It was possibly the best thing that could have happened to me. It showed me that it was actually possible to do for someone with less android experience. (link)
But after I have built it what do I need to do to get started modifying it? I'm not even sure what all I want to do, but is there any suggestions of a starter project, as well as a how to do it?(maybe changing the launcher, or something like that)
Also I have been using xfce linux mint on a second hard drive of 75 gigs. Will this be an ok setup? Should I switch to ubuntu although I don't really like it as much?
Should I be s-off or on (maybe on so that I know that they will be supported)? Also is there any good vm's that run in linux and will run android?
I probably missed a few questions that I intended to ask, so I will edit them in when needed.
I plan to make a how to thread on my findings(hopefully good enough shrike gives me a :highfive: for doing a good job) so everyone who helps (provided I actually learn how and am capable of making the how to) will be thanked in my future famous thread
Also I apologize for any miss-types. I will do my best to correct them, but my keyboard is pretty broken (it took a tumble when I moved home for winter break)
I figured out the fonts(at least for the few roms I checked). They are easy to change and add. They are controlled in a system_fonts.xml in the "\system\etc" folder of the rom. The files that they represent are in the "\system\fonts" folder of the rom. The xml file has a pretty good explanation of how it is read, so adding your own should be pretty easy.
If anyone here has any suggestions even if you dont know for sure let me know please.;

You are my hero.
Hello,
I am new in this fora so I hope that this post is placed in the correct discussion.
These last couple of days my mind began wondering around a certain idea for a app, but one of the main things I need in order to ever could think is possible, would be a way to digitize text from a image or scanned document for example, but to this even exist?
This is a new playing field for me, but something I wanna do, so hope that you can give me some input or point me in the right directions.
Cheers
