I wanted to test my Android app for user that have slow internet connection. Is there any way to do it?
Usually I am using Chrome built in feature for doing this, but I can't find similar solution for Android.
Thanks!
I found that the easiest way to do this in Android on a real device is through Throttly App. It worked for me good. The only thing to consider is that it uses a VPN for making the throttling.

We have a lot of real mobile devices to execute functional tests on them. We are facing a lot of difficulties when switching devices. I am looking for a dynamic way of changing Device Capabilities programmatically (Android devices) . Could you help me to figure out this? Any link clue may help.
Regards.
As far as I understand, you want your desired capabilities to change every time you connect a new mobile device to your development environment. may be this library can help you. It also support iOS.

I am working on a research task and I need to use wifi and mobile data connection simultaneously for different tasks in an Android app. Is it possible? if yes then how? Any suggestions for work-around are also appreciated.
A bit late but straight answer is no.
Android automatically changes to WiFi when available because it is faster.
Sorry
There maybe a way if you root your device
I'm trying to make an app that takes a video capture of the screen by taking individual snapshots. I've been looking into taking the snapshot without root, and seems that most solutions use ddmlib and require the device to be constantly connected via USB.
The only solution that doesn't require root and a constant usb connection is the android screenshot library. However, from the forum comments as well as my experience with the demo app, this library doesn't work very reliably/consistently.
Is there any other solution?
Note: I've also looked at the Noroot Screenshotit app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edwardkim.android.screenshotitfullnoroot&hl=en), and seem like they have a similar approach to the android screenshot library, but have no idea how they make it more reliable. If anyone has an idea, that would be helpful as well.
Thanks
Edit: We've already got the USB-connected implementation, but we want to be able to do it on the device alone, without needing any connection to another PC.
As of Android 5.0+, you can use the new functionality in the SDK called media projections to do screen capture without root privileges or a USB connection. There is sample code by Google available here.
How can I code in my program to make EDGE/GPRS and wifi work together on android?
This can be quite useful; suppose i am connected to a server in LAN while i need to surf the web. A lot of my mates are eager for that, too.
Don't know if you can code your program to make it happen, but the link I stumbled on below shows how a persons phone could be made to have working 3G and wifi together:

How can I code in my program to make EDGE/GPRS and wifi work together on android?
This is not supported in the Android SDK, at least through Android 3.0.
More or less as it says on the tin.
Before I even contemplate downloading the SDK, I was wondering if there was any way of testing Android apps that I'd write without an Android phone available to me? I'm unsure as to whether or not the tools that come with the SDK come with an emulator like VS does for Windows Mobile.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing.
Edit I don't suppose there's anything that'll let me write widgets on/for an emulated version of the interface HTC use on the Hero/G2 either is there? Not that it would matter that much.
There's an emulator available as part of the SDK.
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html
I'd add that the emulator is really quite comprehensive. Things like camera previews don't actually display camera data, but they put block animations in their place. All in all it's one of the best mobile emulators I've seen to date. Probably better even than gasp the iPhone simulator.
As said above there's an emulator available,however with larger apps it gets fairly tedious to use the emulator.Its fine for learning the ins and outs but id suggest investing in an android phone once you've got a good grasp of the sdk,it really does make a difference!.
