     RadioButton checkedRadioButton = (RadioButton)radioGroup.findViewById(checkedId);
     int checkedIndex = radioGroup.indexOfChild(checkedRadioButton);
     
     textCheckedID.setText("checkedID = " + checkedId);
     textCheckedIndex.setText("checkedIndex = " + checkedIndex);
     SavePreferences(KEY_SAVED_RADIO_BUTTON_INDEX, checkedIndex);
    }};

 private void SavePreferences(String key, int value){

     textCheckedID.setText("checkedID = " + checkedId);
     textCheckedIndex.setText("checkedIndex = " + checkedIndex);
    }};

}

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />
    
    <TextView

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/checkedindex"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <RadioGroup
        android:id="@+id/radiogroup"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/option1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Option 1" />
        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/option2"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Option 3" />
    </RadioGroup>

</LinearLayout>

Please note that you cannot assume the checkedId passed to onCheckedChanged() of OnCheckedChangeListener always same for the same button. Specially when you want to set Preference for RadioButton in RadioGroup. The ADT will re-generate the IDs base on your layout. So, after you modify the layout, the IDs will be changed. I read some posts advise keep preference of RadioButton in RadioGroup base on the checkID. Yes, it work if you will not update your APK in the furture.

The Copy Protection feature of Android App is being deprecated

Google is standardizing on two primary tools for helping developers protect against unauthorized copying: app encryption in Jelly Bean and the Licensing Service for all platforms. The older Copy Protection feature, which announced have be deprecating back in 2010, is now going away in favor of these more advanced tools. The Copy Protection feature will no longer be available in the Developer Console starting February 27, 2013 and will no longer be applied on new downloads in Google Play very soon after that. If your app has been using this feature and you would like to continue to protect against unauthorized copying, please begin using the Licensing Service.

android.widget.Space

android.widget.Space added in API level 14, is a lightweight View subclass that may be used to create gaps between components in general purpose layouts.

Example:

<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:columnCount="3"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />
    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:background="#D0D0D0"
        android:text="Cell 2" />
    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:background="#B0B0B0"
        android:layout_rowSpan="2"
        android:text="Double Row Cell 3" />
    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:background="#909090"
        android:layout_columnSpan="2"
        android:text="Double Column Cell 4" />
    <Space
        android:layout_columnSpan="2" />
    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:background="#00FF00"
        android:text="Cell 9" />
    <TextView

    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />
    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:background="#D0D0D0"
        android:text="Cell 2" />
    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:background="#B0B0B0"
        android:layout_rowSpan="2"
        android:text="Double Row Cell 3" />
    <TextView
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:background="#909090"
        android:layout_columnSpan="2"
        android:text="Double Column Cell 4" />
    <TextView

Get bearing between two location using android.location.Location

android.location.Location provide bearingTo(Location dest) method the approximate initial bearing in degrees East of true North when traveling along the shortest path between this location and the given location. The shortest path is defined using the WGS84 ellipsoid. Locations that are (nearly) antipodal may produce meaningless results.

Example:

      //Get the current location
      Location startingLocation = new Location("starting point");
      startingLocation.setLatitude(myMap.getCameraPosition().target.latitude);
      startingLocation.setLongitude(myMap.getCameraPosition().target.longitude);
      
      //Get the target location
      Location endingLocation = new Location("ending point");
      endingLocation.setLatitude(<target>.latitude);
      endingLocation.setLongitude(<target>.longitude);
      
      //Find the Bearing from current location to next location
      float targetBearing = startingLocation.bearingTo(endingLocation);
