implicit intent and forwarding remote desktop to port 3389

genymotion is a nice android emulator with a free version we can use that has the taskbar and some navigation controls with a better presentation we can talk about masterdetail and using cameras in the applications we don't need to know or focus much on the artistic concepts of using a camera but the memory usage and the amount of data contained in our app may be a note of concern when dealing with pictures definitely read up on the viewpager and pageradapter classes from chapter 11 keep in mind the first few chapters are all creating and adding to the same application whereas others work with a new application you will have to create each application in a new project and just step by step screenshot of the process so that we can clearly indicate the lifecycle and the creation of intents and fragments and views http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/allow-remote-desktop-connections-from-outside-your-home-network

bignerd android chapter16

we're making menus in crime_activity.xml we have our string resource id and our icon is from the drawable folders for different screen resolutions and we can make these for different size devices and inside the sdk there are a lot of icons we can use in our programs our title comes from our string resources and the action is probably tied to the java file our java file itself is a fragment I think and an activity and a basic program this example in itself doesn't do much at all as a user interface it just brings up the barebones of an android app with the minimal functionality applied chapter 17 so far our crime app has been using an array of different crimes but realistically we're going to make a database for them the way its illustrated in the book we have a sandbox or private data file which isn't accessible to other applications but contact list is an example of a public access database you know they are using JSON you can learn more about it o...

page 382 linux command line

x=5 if [ $x -eq 5 ]: then      echo "x equals 5." else      echo "x does not equal 5." fi if statements have the following syntax: if commands; then commands [elif commands; then      commands...] [else      commands] fi

here is our unix loop

#!/bin/bash #while loop count=1 until [ $count -le 5 ]; do echo $count count=$((count + 1)) done echo "finished" # lets remember that -le can be substituted for -gt
