I ran into this issue months ago writing my Android app and it’s hard to believe it doesn’t catch everyone at some point. Basically if you set a ListPreserence to use interger-array then you have to retrieve the data as a string or you get a runtime crash.

Like many of the commenters I wasted many hours on this before I found the bug tracker. Again it’s the small details that need fixing as well as the big new features in 2.3 and 2.4.

See the bug report on Google Code.

It’s a minor issue but in the new Market the comments section uses yellow stars shown here.

After clicking on ‘More’ to view all the comments the display changes to green stars.

It’s small things like this that give the UI an inconsistent look. It may be a very minor issue and does not affect usability in any way but it’s the small stuff that needs fixing if they want to compete head on with Apple and iOS.
