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.

So far I'm not sure whether being coldfusion developer is good or not in IT development. There are so many advantages and disadvantages for being coldfusion developer. It's because of when I trying to hunt CF jobs, there are a few jobs vacancy for CF developers sometimes no jobs at all. Another one is when I talking with my IT friends about IT development, they don't know what is Coldfusion and not even know which it's programming language. At that time, I feel sad of being coldfusion developer and want to change other programmings like .NET, PHP and Ruby on Rails. Then, I don't know so far PHP and Ruby on Rails can be used for enterprise level like Coldfusion. In Singapore, some of the software of Healthcare industry are based on Coldfusion, including our projects and others are Java and .Net.

Yesterday, I got problem about rendering Unicode font for my first Android project. At that time, I need to fetch unicode data from the other Coldfusion server. By that time, I need to retrieve data and display such unicode data at laptop. In my laptop, I've installed Adobe Coldfusion 9 developer edition. At that time, I've wrote the following coding to display unicode data.

Oddly, I've found that how to do backwards counting in CFLoop. It's using Step attribute of CFLoop. Before I've used Step attribute for skipping count in CFLoop just like retrieving Odd value from List or something else.

For example to get Odd value
