I'm trying to find a definitive list of fonts that are pre-installed on Android and available in Chrome for websites to use, without having to be downloaded by the end user.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I do not seem to be able to find this in Google's online documentation, which has surprised me (it was easy to find the equivalent list for iOS).
(I see there have previously been similar questions asked on here, but none within the last 8 years so those answers will be well out of date.)

I want to build a custom ROM to a device (with AOSP) and need to know what I need to ask the vendors for. Do providers usually make drivers available in the format Google does? Anyone know what I need to ask for?
I have already spent a lot of time looking for answers here, at the xda-developers page, at the official AOSP page and all over the web, reading and watching videos. There's always something I don't understand. I would be very thankful if someone could help me on this one! I do not have any experience, yet, with embedded systems.
Thanks!
What I have / tried:
I am developing an android application. In which I have to add the viewer for the microsoft office documents(doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx) to the users. So I have searched in the internet. I got some reference about the apachi POI and doc4j for android.
So I tried to implement that inside my app. But I got lot of issues and also not getting any API references for that. So I have posted the question in the stackoverflow. But I didn't get any solutions for that.
So I am deciding to add any other third party office viewer SDKs inside my app to view the microsoft-office documents.
I searched in the internet and I got the following third party document viewers.
directoffice-mobile-sdk
aspose
What I want:
What are the other third party office document viewer SDKs are available for android? and what is the best one to implement inside my app? So anybody give some suggestions on this?
I know it's about 2 years since the question, but people are still asking if there is a solution.
The answer might be more obvious that you think - use the Microsoft Graph SDK:
http://dev.office.com/android
There are, of course, the equivalent iOS SDKs as well:
http://dev.office.com/ios
Although the SDKs aren't as obvious as "open this Word file", they do allow you to gain access to the Office 365 functionality from within your own apps.
I hope this helps someone...
I was wondering if anyone in the stackoverflow community could point out some cloud based testing tools for android. I would like to be able to test my applications on real devices that I dont have access to and get the full logcat and other data associated with testing. I know there are a lot out there but I would like to hear other peoples experiences with them before I go spending any time or money on trying them out. A quick google search brings up testdroid.com but I have heard of countless others that I couldnt find in the top couple of pages.
Any comments on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Have a look to this website : http://testdroid.com/
A little question about the listing in iPhone OS and some other applications, and possibly in Android Market.
When listing the apps, it fills the list in an automatic process, when reaching or is near to reach the end.
My question is: How is that written in iPhone applications. But the main question is: Is that possible to make for Firefox users with Javascript, Ajax or possibly any other language? Been looking a little bit in documentation but havent found anything useful, maybe I just havent looked enough
edit: Found it for Android - Dynamic ListView in Android app
Still looking for same futures for a Windows browser tho
out
edit2: im looking to implement it in a website
with a list of books + some info.
You want Javascript. There are plenty of examples packaged as Greasemonkey scripts that turn Google search results into an endless scrolling list. I hesitate to offer a specific code example since I'm not quite sure what you're after. Are you looking to deploy that sort of script on a website you're building, or are you looking at making someone else's page do this with your own script?
Closed. This question is off-topic. It is not currently accepting answers.

i would like to buy a new cell phone that runs Android. From what I heard I assume it's quiet programable and customizable. What are your Experiences?
Are there any good books on the topic?
Android is a wonderful platform, both to use and to develop for (IMHO, obviously).
I've been developing Android applications for a while now on my 1st generation developer phone, and I've just ordered the HTC Hero. For the most part, it's a joy to work with. The open source approach works really well - I often find myself looking at the source of the applications that comes with the platform for solutions.
I had no previous experience with Java before I started developing for the Android platform, but quickly learned the language and the platform. Googling for Java solutions usually leads to some hints or a direct solution.
The documentation could be a little better - but it's usually acceptable. The "getting started"-parts are fairly well explained, and the samples will get you further. The android-developers group is usually helpful, and if not there's always IRC (#android and #android-dev on freenode) and community forums where you can get help.
For reading material, I strongly recommend Reto Meier's "Professional Android Application Development" - it's far better than most other books I've read about Android. If you're lucky, you will also get answers from the author here on Stack Overflow :-)
I would say that Android devices are the most programmer/developer friendly smartphones you can get at the moment. After all, it's part of Google's strategy to attract as many developers as possible, in order to get a fast growing software landscape.
Here are some key advantages of developing for Android:
even though it's not a Sun JVM running your programs, the programming language for applications is Java, which makes it easy to jump the Android bandwagon for many developers
the developer tools can be used both on the command line, or via an Eclipse plugin called the ADT (Android Developer Tools) on all major platforms. The plugin/emulator is solid and comfortable to use.
Even retail phones are very developer friendly. Though not rooted, you can simply hook them to your developer machine using USB, enable USB debugging and off you go. You can one-click deploy your apps from Eclipse to your phone. Excellent.
While this hasn't been true for quite some time, the online documentation now actually is pretty decent
As a developer, this is maybe my favorite one: You can easily download the Android source code and read it. It's very readable, and often very helpful to get more insight into how a typical app is built, and how the Google devs solve typical tasks.
Publishing to the Android market is as easy as registering a developer account and uploading your app with a description. There is no reviewing being done by Google up front (versus the one plus months ping pong you go through with Apple each time).
Having worked with Android since over a year now without any prior experience in mobile application development, I can wholeheartedly say it has grown into a solid, well designed and easy to use platform.
I maintain a roster of available Android application development books on a wiki page and a knol.
Full Disclosure: I wrote a few of those books.
Android is very easy to program for, especially if you have experience in Java. Overall in my experience programming for it, and attempting to port an application currently on the iPhone to the Android platform is that the iPhone interface is a bit more polished still. I think they have a few more iterations of polish to go through before it can truly stand on its own in the marketplace against the iPhone. Just my opinion, though
