If your data is stored in a SQLite database on the device, performing a full-text search (using FTS3, rather than a LIKE query) can provide a more robust search across text data and can produce results significantly faster.

If your data is stored online, then the perceived search performance might be inhibited by the user's data connection. You might want to display a spinning progress wheel until your search returns.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:label="@string/app_label"    android:hint="@string/search_hint" ></searchable>

Android's search framework provides a user interface in which users can perform a search and an interaction layer that communicates with your application, so you don't have to build your own search Activity. Instead, a search dialog appears at the top of the screen at the user's command without interrupting the current Activity.

These applications use an OnScrollListener to detect when the last item is displayed. When this happens, they load more items and add them to the list adapter.

public class Test extends ListActivity implements OnScrollListener {    Aleph0 adapter = new Aleph0();    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        setListAdapter(adapter);         getListView().setOnScrollListener(this);    }    public void onScroll(AbsListView v, int i, int j, int k) { }    public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView v, int state) {        if(state == OnScrollListener.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {                adapter.count += 10;                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();        }    }    class Aleph0 extends BaseAdapter {        int count = 40;        public int getCount() { return count; }        public Object getItem(int pos) { return pos; }        public long getItemId(int pos) { return pos; }        public View getView(int pos, View v, ViewGroup p) {                TextView view = new TextView(Test.this);                view.setText("entry " + pos);                return view;        }    }}

You should obviously use separate threads for long running actions (like loading web-data) and might want to indicate progress in the last list item (like the market or gmail apps do).

根据 BlindType 团队的说法，BlindType 输入法可以根据你输入时触摸屏幕键盘的位置来判断你所输入的字母，而无需你去边看边打了。目前 BlindType 正在为这一输入方式在 Android 机型上实现而努力

If you see a weird problem with NubiNews, you can help us diagnose the problem by sending us the "Log File".Install an application called SendLog from the Android Market.Start NubiNews.

Android 的某些功能着实让人喜爱，而另一些尚需改进。我们觉得 Google 应该改进的一个地方就是 Android 的待机锁定屏幕的可用性。Android 的优秀的小工具框架能让它在一瞥之间提供不少信息。现在的这个空旷的锁定屏幕一定可以得到增强（这对于平板电脑来说非常合适），而多亏了一些应用程序，Android 可以做到这一点
