Operating Systems Linux Android Basic Android platform information. Post 302850989 by Neo on Friday 6th of September 2013 07:37:38 AM

I am a part-time Android developer, and I don't find Android development, or any code development "breaking and entering".

There are lots of development tools for Android and lots of code examples and projects. You don't need to "break and enter" to do Android development anymore than it is necessary to 'break and enter" do learn Linux or any other OS.

So, basically, I completely disagree that "Android being a phone O/S, during my learning process is was necessary for me to do much 'breaking and entering' in order to achieve (my) goals"....

.. because there are plenty of development platform options for Android phones; and none require "breaking and entering" other than perhaps "rooting" the phone.

Rooting is pretty standard practice and not considered "breaking and entering".. it is simply installing a privileged OS on a phone which you own.

Hope this answers your question.

SHAPE_STDVAR(7) 					 Miscellaneous Information Manual					   SHAPE_STDVAR(7)

NAME
shape_stdvar - shapeTools RMS project wide variant definitions DESCRIPTION
This file contains common variant definitions to be used in a software development project supported by the shape release management sys- tem. The stdvar file defines a variant raster for a whole development project. This central definition facility unifies the naming and semantics of supported system variants. Stdvar is to be included into the Shapefiles of any part of the developed system via shape's include mechanism. The definitions in stdvar should be carefully designed and maintained for each supported project. They usually concern variant control for all hardware/operating system platforms to be supported or variant settings to produce different qualities of generated code (debug or optimized). Enclosed in the shapeTools distribution, you find the stdvar file used in the development of the shape toolkit itself. This may be a good starting point for developing an own variant raster. At least, it helps you learning the definition syntax. Otherwise, for a description on the syntax of variant definition parts see the shape(1) manual. FILES
