Photo of the Day
Motorola Droid Bug – Publishing Livewall paper on Android Market
Photo of the Day wasn’t showing up on the market no matter what I tried. It turns out that Moto Droid /Milestone has a bug where it thinks it dosn’t support live wall papers. (See here and here too)
What your supposed to do is have this in your applications manifest if your app requires a live wallpaper:
<uses-feature android:name=”android.software.live_wallpaper” />
Unfortanlty the Moto Droid has a bug and dosn’t support it, so if you place it in the manifist, it dosn’t showup in the market for all the orginal droid users out there.
You might think its as simple as removing the line and just using the uses sdk tag, but that dosn’t work because not all the 2.1 phones support live wallpapers. For some reason the droid eris and Samsung Moment don’t. Crazy. What where they thinking. When I think of 2.1 I think of live wallpapers!

Photo of the Day 1.3
So I finally got the photo of the day to show up on the market. That story is for another post. Anyway, Photo of the Day adds the ability to double click on the background to bring up the Wikipedia page about the photo of the day. Pretty slick!
Photo of the Day 1.0 Released!
I just published Buy Levitra Online Photo of the Day on the Android Marketplace. Photo of the Day is a Live Wallpaper that sets your background to Wikipedia photo of the day. Its priced at $0.99.
Quick note, its not showing up in the market. Not sure what’s going on,but I’m taking a look.
