Polidea releases as opensource a small business-oriented fast-prototyping library.

It allows to build very quickly simple applications where typical types of navigation are used: icon grids, lists, simple data entry. It allows to build nice looking (albeit boring) applications that might be useful in prototyping simple tree-like navigation through complex menu structure. Suppor for breadcrumbs, splashscreen and dynamically updateable menu structure is included. More info here: http://code.google.com/p/android-menu-navigator/

Polidea released XML Junit Test runner for Android.

The runner (contrary to standard android runner) produces an XML output that can be used by standard Junit output parsers (such as Jenkins CI that we are using internally) . None of the existing runners seemed good enough for us so we wrote ours: http://code.google.com/p/the-missing-android-xml-junit-test-runner/ We use it heavily now in our build system.

Small utility library used by Polidea for simple in-app notification handling in android has been released as open-source.

These are utilities connected with notifications that Polidea is using in order to simplify handling in-app notifications for android. They are inspired by iPhone notification system. The notifications are NOT aiming to replace android's broadcasts. They are mostly used in order to provide in-application notifications with typesafe notification arguments, simple registration and unregistration of listeners for particular types of notifications. The library contains also simple sensor and location handling classes that use the notification system. The two utils provide the nice features which are not there by default in android system, such as combining location retrieval from different providers and filtering orientation notification. More info and the library is here: http://code.google.com/p/polidea-android-notification-utils/

Small landscape-mode-capable tab widget has been released to open-source community by Polidea.

Polidea released a small, but pretty useful widget. The default tab widget for android had always lacked the landscape screen support, simply because it was not really needed for small phone screens. With the coming android tablets though, there are more and more needs to redefine the navigation for android. The Missing Tab widget addresses it allowing anyone to use easily nice tab navigation in landscape mode. This project is largely based on android's default TabWidget with just a handful of modifications. Additional benefit of having the widget separated is that it is (unlike the original) easy to customize with exposed customization points. The widget is available here: https://code.google.com/p/themissingtabwidget/
