I’ve come across some troubles while developing for different platforms with java. Problems that are relatively easy to solve.
I suggest we make a thread called “Test my app, please!” where JGO developers submit their apps, and JGO testers give their feed back.
Eventually we’ll make it so the thread has a few rules, like: the features to be tested should only take 30 seconds to one minute of the user’s time to be tested. The file should be an executable (.exe .apk .jar .jnlp) and not a source code (.java) for less hassle to the tester.
The reason is that many of the android phones vary in small but significant features, such as: the values they return with the accelerometer. New methods for newer apis. New screen form factors. And, in reality, you can only buy or borrow a fews phone or computer models.
I say we use the idea that we are many developers, and benefit from having many devices to test with.
What do you think about that? Leave your comments in the section below.
