Send Email in your Android Application
I've seen a lot of examples of how to send email from an android application. All of them result in applications coming up in a chooser list that are not appropriate for sending email. In this post, I'll described the various solutions I found, and the solution that brings up only email clients.
Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error
I went looking, and looking, and looking, for a solution to this problem. None of them seemed to fit the bill. I tried...
- updating proguard
- not using libraries I shouldn't be
- re-importing the project
- removing duplicate android jars
- removing all android jars
- a host of other "suggestions" from Eclipse Android users
Eclipse Android Hello World Tutorial Video – Part 3
In third part of the android hello world video, we explain the different components of the application, and why things are done in a certain way. This video is a bit raw. However, rather than editing the videos, I'm going to try and improve my presentation skills as I go.
Eclipse Android Hello World Tutorial Video – Part 2
Okay, I've finished another android development demo video. Sorry it took so long, I got really busy with a new computer and what not, and life in general. In the next video in this series, I will explain the details of the hello android application. So, if you do not understand some of what is happening, stay tuned for the next video in the series.
Eclipse Android Hello World Tutorial Video – Part 1
My intention is to make all of my android videos as simple as possible, and as short as possible. That way you can learn what you need to, and get on with it.
This is a quick demo on how to get started on developing for Android. It is "hopefully" the first in a serious of android demo videos that I will be creating. I am mainly creating them for myself, so as to become familiar with basic android development tasks, and also to play with recording sessions; I too am a newbie to Android development. I am putting them on YouTube in case anyone else may find them valuable; perhaps for their simplicity. I hope you enjoy.
Java LDAP Persistence API
I've started a project called LDAP Persistence API for Java, or LPA for short. It is a Java framework for interacting with LDAP entries using pure Java objects. It is based on Java annotations.
It is no were near to being complete, but the query functionality is working. I still have a lot of work to do, in order to make it be able to persist existing annotated Java objects to LDAP. I'm likely to create some sort of intermediate step, until I can finish that.
Java Array Reflection
In this article we talk about reflection with arrays in Java. Java array reflection is not difficult, but it can be trying to figure it out without a good example. Ultimately, what I needed was a way of injecting information into an array field. Of course, you need to inject the same "type" of array as the field is. That is what can be difficult to figure out, if you've never done it before.
In this example, I am using Java 1.6. I won't bother determining what is, or is not supported in prior versions of the Java language.
What is JAXB and JAXB Example Code
I thought it may be nice for those googlers that want to know about JAXB, to have a quick working example to use. So, that is the purpose of this post.
ZK AJAX Status Bar
Seeing that my research project is a mini accounting system, I thought it necessary to be able to display items in a status bar, like a real application. It is very slightly unfortunate that ZK doesn't have something integrated right in for this purpose. But, given the versatility of ZK, it's easy enough to resolve.
ZK Exception Handling and Error Popup
Once I had some basic functionality in my mini accounting system that I'm writing (for research purposes), one of my goals was to have an adequate error display for the user, that was the same every time. Suffice it to say, I was completely thrilled to find out that ZK could do exactly what I wanted to do, and I didn't have to write an once of code. All I did was write some ZUL, which wrapped a JSP inside of a ZK window. I share how I did that in this post.
