How to set my default location on HTC Hero Android weather widget?
Q. So I just got a new HTC Hero with Android, and I'm loving it, but I can't figure out the weather widget on the home screen. I can't seem to change the default location for the weather that it shows.
It keeps saying "Providence (current)" but I live in Virginia and the nearest Providence is hundreds of miles away, and the weather is way different!
How can I change the default location that shows?
Thanks so much, guys!

How do you create rich user interfaces on Android? For example like the Facebook and Twitter apps have?
Q. I can only find tutorials to create basic user interfaces with simple list views, text boxes and buttons. I can only assume the Facebook and Twitter app use web views with HTML/CSS to create theirs?
A. As a starting point, see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZBjlCRfz0
and read this article: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/twitter-for-android-closer-look-at.html
Both are about Android UI patterns and both use the official Twitter app as an example. I don't think that app uses web views; it looks like it's mostly list views. I can't be sure without seeing the source code though (which I don't think they ever ended up releasing like they had planned).
You could check out the source code of the stock Android apps (Music Player, Email, Gallery, etc.) that come with the emulator to see how they do things. http://source.android.com/source/download.html
There are a lot of tutorials at http://developer.android.com
You could also use a visual program like Droid Draw http://www.droiddraw.org/
These visual layout programs still aren't the best, but they help in the beginning to see how XML layouts work and you can use the code generated to get you started.
