One of nice part of Android is sqlite data access is very simple. You don't worry about the path to the sqlite database file and there are a couple of functions to make your file easier. Creating DB SQLiteDatabase db = openOrCreateDatabase("mydb",MODE_PRIVATE,null); This is a neat function which does open and create at the same time. You need to name your database (e.g. "mydb") and specify the mode to open. In this example, I'm opening the database as private mode that allows only your app to touch the file. Execute SQL db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mydata (first_name,last_name,age)"); db.execSQL("INSERT...

A Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoy this winter season. I want you to remember another new year holiday, which is in Chinese calendar, coming in a few weeks. We will update our Chinese Astrology and Feng Shui App with a bunch of features, such as a compass to show direction on the screen.

In 21st century, the iPhone in your pocket contains a small device, it's called magnetrometer, helps you to solve...
Every thing you do in android is an instance of Activity class. The back button (mostly implemented in hardware - now also on software - Example Galaxy Tab 10.1 and ICS) allows to unload current activity and go back to previous one. Lets say you are building a game and would like to pass data between your menu screen and the game screen. You show a bunch of options to the user in the menu screen and you have to pass the appropriate paramater to the Game Screen. Lets call our Activities GameActivity and MenuActivity Loading a different GameActivity from MenuActivity: First thing you need...
I wanted to launch a simple app for Kindle Fire to test the Amazon market place for Android Apps. You can download the app here. I chose one of our simplest sounds apps for Christmas. Here is a screenshot of the same. The top buttons play the background music and the individual icons on the shelf play simple sounds. My first struggle was with the layout and making it work with various other android devices. I will write an another post for that. But with regards to playing the actual sound files there were problems also. There are 2 ways of playing sounds. 1. MediaPlayer...
With the new ios 5 comes new frameworks. Today we are going to investigate one of the new framework: Core Image Framework. Core Image framework contains built in image filters to manipulate images and videos. The framework includes basic image filters like Sepia tone and Monochrome to advance image operations like face detection. One of the main advantage of the Core Image Framework is it's ability to be able to use both CPU and GPU power, and the result is very fast image processing. The framework can even support the real time processing of video frames. There are 3 main components in Core Image...
My adventures with the Sparrow framework
Posted by: ken | Date: 31 Dec 2011 | 0 Comment | Tags: apple,game development,ios,iPad,iphone,mac,mac os x,objective-c,sparrow |
I had been looking into 2D game development frameworks when one of my friends suggested the Sparrow framework. Having struggled with OpenGLES in the past, I was eager to find a higher-level framework that would allow me to produce some working concepts without writing mountains of code just to render a basic shape on the screen. I found Sparrow extremely easy to learn and if you have prior 2D or 3D game development experience, it should be even easier to pick up. To get started, download the latest package from: http://www.sparrow-framework.org/download/ This package comes with the Sparrow...
Eclipse sucks! Sorry to all Eclipse lovers, I just hate developing in Eclipse. Coming from Visual Studio and XCode, I just felt that eclipse was not responsive enough for Android development. I started my research for a good alternative. I even contemplated building everything manually using TextMate. But I think I finally found some good Android development tool that does not suck. Its IntelliJ IDEA and I use their free community edition. IDEA can open your eclipse projects and works seamlessly with Android emulator. Downloading: Download IntelliJ IDEA community edition from http://www.jetbrains.com...
ASP.NET has a very nice architecture to pack all backend AJAX methods and jQuery in the same ASPX file. Lets say you have a simple Page Method like below. You need to include the "System.Web.Services" and declare your method as WebMethod. [WebMethod] public static int Sum(int a, int b) { return a + b; } Make sure your page method is static The JQuery way of calling this function would be something similar to this. $(document).ready(function () { $("#btnSum").click(function () { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "Default.aspx/Sum", data:...
ShareKit (2.0 is here) is a nice SNS library to make your iPhone development life easy. Dropping the folder int your project and enable share in a few lines of codes. I've been using TwitPic for twitter user to share their image but ShareKit uses img.ly as default. TwitPic is better for me in terms of supported formats and the simplicity; however, the recent OAuth things make so complicated. I'm not sure OAuth really contributing more secure authentication and I'm not sure SNS needs that high-level security system (people just upset after Obama's account hacked?). Anyway, I miss TwitPic's simple...

We just came back from Geoweb Summit 2011 in Brooklyn. The event was energetic, and we are glad to attend the meaningful panel discussions on both technology and business strategy. As a GIS Analyst / Developer, I always ask myself the following question: "What is the next generation of legacy desktop GIS systems?" I like NY City's mashup approach to provide an answer to my question. One of the panelist, Colin Reilly, is from the New York DoITT and he leads campaigns like New York Big Apps. This is an important movement since only the government and big organizations used to exclusively handle...

Kiichi started playing around with the iPhone SDK back in March of 2008 and we needed an idea for our very first native iPhone application. Our good friend Chris League mentioned in a conversation that one of his students said how the old rotary dialer phones were much more reliable than cell phones of today. The idea immediately clicked that we needed to build a Rotary dialer app for iPhone and it should be available on Day 1 of the App store Launch. We achieved that. iRetroPhone was born and it was reviewed by NYTimes back in 2008. Since then we only made minor changes. We moved on to other...

Mac OS X Lion (Version 10.7) is out , and according to Apple 1 Millions Lions are downloaded in the first day. There are plenty of reviews about pros and cons of the new OS. Here are my quick review on 3 things I love / Hate about the Lion. 1. Air Drop Finally easy to share files between macs. Even though not a replacement for your Dropbox, it is definitely a good start. pros: easy to share, no set up or configuration, auto discovery cons: no support to share over network yet, no group sharing 2. New Gestures pros: easy to switch between applications, better experiences...

Our app, iSeismometer, to show slight motion on your iPhone / iPad was on BBC!

Our University distributed 6,000 iPads so far and it will be 10,000 by the next year. My team lead the development of the entire distribution system and the university app on it. Dr. Kennelly introduced about iSeismometer and one of lab exercise in a Earth Science classroom. My interview was not used but I'm happy that he mention about my app and me in his comments. That...

Dear Everyone, ObjectGraph is glad to announce that we contributed $3,000 to JMSA Japan Relief Fund. Right after the earthquake in Japan, we made all of our medical apps free, including #1 in the ranking, "Japanese Medicine Search" and then, we were looking for an medical organization to send our proceeds since one of our focus is in medical fields. Last week, Yumi, who is a founder of StudioYumi, introduced us to JMSA (Japan Medical Society of America) through her husband Yoshi. 100% of proceeds go to local hospitals. Thank You
