[SGVLUG] Android Development

[Lan Dang]

The shows I recommended were The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Martian Successor Nadesico. I also liked the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Avatar the Last Airbender (the tv show, not the movie) is great too.

With the exception of Avatar, I'm not sure if any of the above are available on Netflix streaming.

Speaking of Netflix, as this also came up during dinner, Netflix has an app for Android, but you'd probably only see it in the Market if you have a compatible device. I was able to install it on my G2. To get it on my Archos 70 tablet (running stock firmware, Android 2.2.1), I downloaded the apk from here:

I find the app very slow to load on my Archos and sometimes it seems to crash when I try to return to the Netflix home screen, but that could probably be an issue with my Archos, which seems to slow down over time and require rebooting.  When the app and my network are behaving, it works pretty well.
