After run an Android App defined in main.xml in visual layout in Eclipse, as 3.7in HVGA, What must do to run in bigger display? I shutdown emulator, and tried modify 3.7in but display is the same, is emulator needed special shutdown? Is needed change and AVD used?

how appear in eclipse adt, line numbers in code view?

How create a file.apk from an Android source files? When I upgrade an apk App eg from 1.0 to 2.0, all the apk's files get replaced?

I've not had much luck setting the display size of an avd manually. Try changing it the display size to one of the preset sizes. In eclicpse click on window -> AVD Manager -> On the avd manager select your avd click edit -> Under Skin click BUILT IN, choose one from the drop down box. QVGA = very small, HVGA= 320x480, WVGA = 800x400.

To get the line numbers on your code in eclipse, click Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors, select Show Line Numbers.

I have found that the ONLY way run emulator is HVGA in avd manager + activity main.xml to 3.7in WVGA(NEXUS ONE)... Well?

For some reason I've had no luck setting a physical size of the device. I can use the preset densities, but the size factors don't take for some reason. I don't know if it's a bug with the emulator or just not supported. I wouldn't worry too much about the actual size of the device. The resolution is important HVGA on a 3.7 inch device will not make any difference that HVGA on 3.3 inch device as far as code. The graphics may appear slightly different but it should not be enough to make any difference, unless your making some type of app that needs to display something on the screen that represents a real life size (like a ruler).

Theres another thing you could try use the HVGA skin and scale the emulator to make the size you want. You'd have to figure the correct scale to use to make the emulator 3.7 inches for your monitor. Here's a post on how to scale the emulator: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2359895/android-emulator-screen-too-tall/4963984#4963984

I configured 2 AVDs 2.3.3 (and one genera 4.0.3)...one for Galaxy Note 5.3" 2.3.3 and one general HVGA 2.3.3, Well always run latter but When the other day open PC/Eclipse from start up run in Galaxy Note 5.3" AVD 2.3.3,... well, when I have a 2.3.3 App to try and two AVD 2.3.3 which of the two run in?

adjustViewBounds – ImageView maintains its aspect ratio of… means if this setting is false, dimensions of a bigger img will be proportional to the appeared smaller img so as dim NOT stretch in w or h?

To choose which avd to run in, go to Run -> Run Configurations -> On the Target Tab, Select manual. Now it will ask you which avd to launch when running the app.

For adjustViewBounds, false will NOT preserve the aspect ratio. TRUE will make it keep the aspect ratio, and not stretch the image.

aspect ratio
===========
well when images are 72x72 or 128x128 or 128x72 or 72x128

and the space is 64x64, when we mean:

TRUE will make it keep the aspect ratio, and not stretch the image

we mean some images will be 64x36 IF INITIALLY ARE 128x72?????

Yes I believe you are right, it will make it as big as it can without losing the aspect RATIO.

After run an Android App defined in main.xml in visual layout in Eclipse, as 3.7in HVGA, What must do to run in bigger display? I shutdown emulator, and tried modify 3.7in but display is the same, is emulator needed special shutdown? Is needed change and AVD used?

To install to the emulator in eclipse/vista: see http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/building/building-eclipse.html#RunningOnEmulatorEclipse
For on an actual device see: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

And yes you can transfer the apps to the sd card and install them that way too.

If I was going to install a release version to the emulator, I would do it manually from the command line. Once you have exported your .apk (publish build). You can start the emulator and install it from the windows command line. To start the emulator, type:

emulator @avdname

You can also add the command -no-boot-anim to make it boot faster.

emulator -no-boot-anim @avdname

To install to the emulator once it is running. Type:

adb install c:\path\to\yourapp.apk

See the docs here: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/building/building-cmdline.html#RunningOnEmulator

You can install with the -r option to overwrite the existing app.
adb install -r path\to\myapp.apk
If you need to delete the previous app:
adb uninstall package.name

Use the package name, not the filename of the app to uninstall.

I'm not sure but I think kies comes with the drivers. I would just try it and if you cant connect adb to your phone, then follow the instructions on the page you listed to get the oem drivers.

Yes the adb commands I listed are for the windows command prompt. To specify a folder that has spaces in it use quotation marks around the fold\filename such as:

adb install "c:\folder with spaces\myapp.apk"

I'm not sure if there is a way to tell if the app was built with debug or release in the emulator. You could build your debug .apk with a different version number in the manifest, than your release .apk. Then to see which version of the app is on the emulator go to:

settings -> applications -> manage applications -> click on the application and it should tell you the version number of the app.
