In this smartphone generation, we expected have a full browser functionality in API; iOS SDK is coming with UIWebView and Android has WebView. This means, developer is able to take advantage the core engine, such as JavaScript parser. This might make developer's life easier sometime because we can reuse same libraries from JavaScript - e.g form + validations, drawing chart and so on. I looked around android documentations, StackOverflow and some forums but I could not find a good summary and organized complete example. Here, I demonstrate my experiment of a full cycle of JavaScript / Java...

Android Development: How to use sqlite in Android

Posted by: kiichi | Date: 28 Jan 2012 | 0 Comment | Tags: cursor,database,execSQL,java,sqlite,tutorial |

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...

Android Development: Passing Data Between Activities

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...

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

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...




IntelliJ brings back my interest in Android

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.

ASP.NET Page Methods and jQuery

Posted by: bozena | Date: 30 Dec 2011 | 1 Comment | Tags: asp.net,json,pagemethod |

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:...




Integrating ShareKit + ASIHTTPRequest for TwitPic

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...
