Google Maps Navigation now in Denmark

June 9th, 2010

You can read the full story on Engadget or the Google page, but here’s a few screen shots taken from my HTC Desire.

If you don’t have the Android navigation app installed just download it from the market.

Problems Updating the Android SDK with Eclipse

May 21st, 2010

I’ve recently had this error when trying to update the AVD within Eclipse.

Failed to fetch URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Server redirected too many times (20)

There’s also a bug report with the same issue, http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5944.

It turns out that AVD was caching my proxy settings from when I connected from work, the only way I could see to remove them was to open the file called androidtool.cfg which on Windows XP is located at C:\Documents and Settings\USER\.android\.

Simply edit the lines referring to proxy settings to remove the port and server address.
