Java amazing things

I've come across with the very interesting thing in Java language.
Example below illustrates that.

Android 2.1 APN continuation...

Today I tested the next case.
Android Emulator 2.1 + Browser 1.6.

I've got the predictable result.
The old version of Android Browser also doesn't work with proxy on platform 2.1.

That is interesting, but ...

I suppose that the problem is in the telephony provider which can be used by Browser.

Android 2.1

Again and again...

Google made us happy once again.

New version of Google Android 2.1 platform is now available at http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.1.html.

API difference report you can see at http://developer.android.com/sdk/api_diff/7/changes.html.

Android 3-rd party source code

I think you know that Android has 3-rd party Java API.
For example it is Apache API in part of HttpClient 4.x.
That is good code.

Android application MIME type

Useful facts about Android:

The MIME type of typical Android application (apk file) is application/vnd.android.package-archive.

Android platform issues 2

Earlier I've written about NPE in Android platform HttpClient 4.x.

Today I've investigated the problem deeply.

Android secrets: 1

- Which type of resource file do you use to avoid hardcoding of strings?
- res/strings.xml
- Which one for the integers?
- Hm...

Android Platform issues 1

As you already know Android contains a 3-rd party Java API.
One of such open source projects is Apache HttpClient.

QT4

December 1 Nokia has released QT4.6.

Apache 2.2 mime_magic_module and PHP scripts

The task: force Apache to handle PHP scripts without any file extensions.
Apache is able to determine MIME of file in two ways:

1. Using mime_module by extension
2. Using mime_magic_module by the first several bytes of file

I have investigated the second way.

Go programming language

Google has announced the release of new programming language named Go.
It combines high performance, safety and speed.
The main aim is create language for parallel processing on multi-kernels.



Official website Golang.org contains compiler and toolchain for new language.
