Easter Eggs in 0.9 beta

Submitted by hobbs on Tue, 09/02/2008 - 13:43.

Google has planted some funny Easter Eggs in the most recent Android SDK. It's a good way to blow off the steam as I'm sure they are under a lot of pressure for a solid 1.0 release in the next few months.

Gravitational Constants

When you look at the documentation for the device's accelerometer you'll see that they include the extremely useful gravitational constant for earth (~9.8 m / s^2), and they even go a step further to include all the planets in our solar system (thinking ahead I guess!). But, if you look closely you'll see that they've also conveniently included the constant for "Death Star I" and "The Island":

  • float GRAVITY_DEATH_STAR_I 3.5303614E-7
  • float GRAVITY_THE_ISLAND 4.815162

It's been pointed out that 4.815162 is some kind of secret number for ABC's TV show "Lost".

Known Issues
Many of us were wondering, but thankfully Google has clarified this issue in the latest release notes:

  • We regret to inform developers that Android 1.0 will not support 3.5" floppy disks.

Maybe 1.1?

So, Peter, what's happening?
And last but not least, in the latest SDK if you take a picture using the camera application the image saved is the image to the right, featuring the character Bill Lumbergh from the great movie "Office Space"!
