[shawn peter]

I have upload the my application to android market.
Anyway i am unable to find it on tje market.When i uploading it i gave a title.I searched it on title.But unable to find?

Did you publish it? Uploading the APK file is not enough. If you did publish it, what's the name of the app?

[shawn peter]

Yes.I think i have done it.Please see attachment.

I select SOCIAL category when uploading

[shawn peter]

I gave Your Location as title.
my class name is ShowLocation.I search both of this in market.Nothing found.
I have attached a screenshot also.

That's a name that's not very distinctive, and for those words much more popular apps are likely to be found first. Nevertheless, the app is there: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.virtual.yourlocation

In what way does the app qualify as "social"?

[Tim Moores]

You may want to consider going for a lower API level, like level 7 or 8. Level 10 isn't supported by more than half of the devices accessing the market: http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html

Thanks Tim.Anyway can you tell me the way to search and get it.I search both names ,not found.
can i rename it to another name for easy search ?

[Tim Moores]

If you call it "Zaphod Beeblebrox", you're probably going to rank very high in a search for that term. But both "your" and "location" are bound to be part of 10000 app descriptions already, and every single one of those apps is (as of now) more popular than yours, and will thus rank higher.

As an aside, you should pick a package name that doesn't clash with an existing company. virtual.com is even an IT company, meaning there's a chance they might come out with an Android app at some point. Guess who's going to lose the fight for that package name you used!

Can you tell me tell me how to add a image to my application.Currently it takes image as icon which i use to show current location.

[shawn peter]

I have a doubt.What is the application name.
1)Is it what when we give making project in eclips?
2)Is it name of my main class ?
3)Is is Title of application when uploading to market given ?
