9:30 and still working…

Sadly I’m working on “work” and not my Android project. Two tips:

1. If your phone rings from an unknown number after work hours…DON’T PICK UP.
2. If anybody ever guilts you into helping them troubleshoot a problem over the phone, punch them in the face the next time you see them.

Anyhow, I did find enough time to run through the first Notepad tutorial this evening in between conference calls. Pretty straight forward, but I suppose worthwhile to run through. The running narrative that Google provides is pretty well put together though.

I’m hoping to get off this call in time to go play hockey tonight, so instead of writing anything potentially useful, I’ll leave you with a question….

I read somewhere in the docs that all applications deployed on an Android device share the same package namespace. This seems like a bad idea. Say Google decides to deploy some application with package com.google.foo. And malicious user X decides he doesn’t like Google anymore. So along with some useful application, he also bundles in a com.google.foo package with mailicious code. How does Android respond? Which package gets loaded at runtime? Thoughts?
