AndroidToday, I'm glad to inform to all that my Coldfusion documentation application is in Android market now. I'm planning to add more cool features in it just like tablet version and so on.
Today, I've finalised Android Coldfusion documentation application for Coldfusion developer. This one is my third android application for my Android developer life and enhance more features which not included in my later applications.
In this Coldfusion documentation application, you can search functions and tags of Coldfusion and view all lists of functions and tags either. Likewise, functions and tags which you search are not in this documentation, you can search similar functions and tags of CF.
Yesterday, I've found all of value in XML are lost HTML format when I rendered my application. At that time, I don't know how to do and how to solve this problem. Because I've put some value into string.xml file as common value and can use in any java file within project.
Here is the sample how I assign into XML file.
1<string name="about">Planet Myanmar Dictionary <br /><small>(Eng-Myanmar Dictionary)<br /><br /><b>Developer</b> : Pyae Phyoe Shein <br /><b>Organization</b> : Planet.com.mm <br /><b>Version</b> : 1.3 <br /><b>Android OS</b> : 2.0 and above</small></string>
Today I've published my another Android application to Android market which called "Planet Myanmar Dictionary". Planet Myanmar Dictionary is dedicated to our Planet user who would like to use Planet Dictionary through their Android OS based mobile phone without accessing Internet. It's easy to search and save your favorite word in their mobile. In this application, I've used SQLite as storage engine. Honestly, I'm very very new to SQLite and don't have much experience of it. But I'm very glad to touch SQLite and data manipulate.
In these days, I recognize that my blog got so many redirect links and got higher reputation even I cannot upload new blog post everyday because of my Android project. Today I search one of the popular post of mine called ImageView with asynctask through five popular search engine and reviewing the results, my post reach up to top 10 results of each search engines.
Bing
My post got 1st position of top 10 results. It's incredible. :)Yahoo
My post got 6th position of top 10 results. It's bad.Ask
My post got 8th position of top 10 results. Sigh...!!!AOL
My post got 5th position of top 10 results.Currently, I'm now on developing dictionary offline application for Android. In this application, I'm using SQLite for storage and Asynctask for background retrieving data. When user input word into search box, progress dialogue box will be displayed as retrieving the definition of input word. At that time, I don't want to display "loading" message in progress box because it's so simple and conservative idea. What I want is I want to display random message of "Quote, motto, joke, etc.." instead of "loading" message.
Today, my Planet Myanmar News android application is approved by Android market. I'm very happy because of my application. It's my first-ever legally Android application and successfully submit at Android market. It's free version for everyone who wants to read updated news of Myanmar and International.I've added 3 cool additional features in this version from previous unpublished version.
Additional features
- Facebook shared
- Location choosing for faster browsing
- Load image more faster
As I mention in my previous posts, I'm currently developing a simple Android application for news article. In my application, I've used the web services functions like JSON and XML for parsing JSON and XML data from my web server. According Android developer network, we should use AsyncTask while fetching such data format from web servers. Because display "loading" or "processing" message instead of blank screen while fetching data so that our clients won't be confused any more. And it's also good for performance. Likewise, should display "loading image" for our article image while fetching image from web server and to display at device. That's why your device doesn't need to wait to all of images to be loaded.
Here is coding for image AsyncTask.
Today, I'm ready to publish my Android application to Android market after being tested several times by myself and my friends. That's why I've registered as Android Developer at Android and go to Android market and publish it. That's why I've uploaded my *.apk file to Android market. When I was trying to upload my *.apk file, I've got the following error message.
Market does not accept apks signed with the debug certificate. Create a new certificate that is valid for at least 50 years.
My first Android application
Aug 23
Today, I've finalised my so-called first ever Android application for my Coldfusion programmer life. It's just simple application. But, I'm very happy and proud of myself because Android (Java) is very new to me and never kept in touch before.That's why for this application, I've learnt Java and developed at the same time. It took 3 weeks to develop this application. Just being amateur in Android, I cannot fully focus on performance such as memory usage, battery and so on. But I've optimized my coding as much as I know. I know there will be some weakness in my application but I'll fix and upgrade version after version.
I'll upload it to Android market after three or four days.
Above "Star" icon is for most read news
After installation, you will see "newspaper" icon in your application list. This icon represents as my application.
For this application, I've used ListView, ArrayList, AsyncTask and sharedpreferences of Android.
