The Missing Widget in the Android SDK: SmartImageView

“This does Bitmap reading and decoding on the UI thread, which can cause a latency hiccup. If that’s a concern, consider using setImageDrawable(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable) or setImageBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap) and BitmapFactory instead.”

Using SmartImageView Instead of ImageView

 

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <com.loopj.android.image.SmartImageView
        android:id="@+id/profileImage"
        android:layout_width="48dp"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter" />

</LinearLayout>

public class MainActivity extends Activity { 
    @Override 
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); 
        SmartImageView profileImage = (SmartImageView) findViewById(R.id.profileImage); 
        profileImage.setImageUrl("https://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image?screen_name=bendog24&size=normal");
    }
}

profileImage.setImageUrl("", R.drawable.ic_launcher);

profileImage.setImageUrl(contactAddressBookId);

The One-Stop Android SDK/Eclipse/ADT Installer You Always Wanted

How to Create Your Own Android Development Bundle

echo com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.sdk=$sdk_path >> ./workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.prefs 

MAC INSTRUCTIONS

1. Create the root directory (android_dev_environment)
2. Copy the Android SDK in (android-sdk-macosx)
3. Copy in eclipse:
   1. Start with a clean version of Eclipse
   2. Run Eclipse. When prompted for a workspace, enter “../../../../workspace” (this will create the workspace directory in our root).
   3. Install the ADT Plugin via the “Install new software” option in Eclipse (https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/). Restart when done.
   4. Change the Android SDK path in Eclipse preferences to be relative: “../../../../android-sdk-macosx”
   5. Install at least Platform Tools and the latest platform using the SDK Manager.
4. Create initial_setup:
   #!/bin/bash
# Set the Android SDK path in Eclipse. Must be the absolute; a relative path
# does not work with the AVD Manager.
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
sdk_path=`pwd`/android-sdk-macosx echo
"Setting Android SDK path in Eclipse..."
echo com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.sdk=$sdk_path >> ./workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.prefs
echo "Android SDK path set."
# Create a new AVD echo
"Creating new AVD..."
echo no | $sdk_path/tools/android create avd -n Android41 -t 1 --force
echo "AVD created."
5. Change permissions of initial_setup: chmod 754 initial_setup
6. Zip up the directory!

WINDOWS INSTRUCTIONS

1. Create the root directory (android_dev_environment).
2. Install JDK 6 at android_dev_environment\Java.  In the installer, we only need to install Development Tools and the Public JRE (not the Java DB or Source Code).
3. Install/copy the Android SDK in (android-sdk-windows).
4. Copy in eclipse:
   1. Start with a clean version of Eclipse
   2. Edit eclipse\eclipse.ini. Add the following lines above the -vmargs line:
      -vm
..\Java\jdk1.6.0_35\bin\javaw.exe (make sure the jdk path is correct!)
   3. Run Eclipse. When prompted for a workspace, enter “../workspace” (this will create the workspace directory in our root).
   4. Install the ADT Plugin via the “Install new software” option in Eclipse (https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/).  Restart when done.
   5. Change the Android SDK path in Eclipse preferences to be relative: “..\android-sdk-windows”
   6. Install at least Platform Tools and the latest platform using the SDK Manager.
5. Create initial_setup.bat:
   REM Set the Android SDK path in Eclipse. Must be the absolute;
REM  a relative path does not work with the AVD Manager.
cd > temp.txt 2>&1
set /p sdk_path= < temp.txt
del temp.txt
set sdk_path=%sdk_path%\android-sdk-windows
set sdk_path=%sdk_path:\=\\%
set sdk_path=%sdk_path::=\:%
echo “Setting Android SDK path in Eclipse...”
echo com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.sdk=%sdk_path%>> .\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.prefs
echo “Android SDK path set.”
REM Create a new AVD
echo “Creating a new AVD...”
echo no | .\android-sdk-windows\tools\android create avd -n Android41 -t 1 --force
echo “AVD created.”
pause
6. Reset the eclipse.ini -vm path to a relative one (see Step 4B above). Apparently when you run Eclipse it updates this path to an absolute value.
7. For 64 bit Windows, we also need to edit the find_java.bat file in the Android SDK so that it finds the Java installed with the bundle. Add the following lines to android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\find_java.bat (before it runs its own check that starts with the comment “rem Check we have a valid Java.exe…”):
   set java_exe=%~dp0\..\..\..\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin\java.exe
set javaw_exe=%~dp0\..\..\..\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin\javaw.exe
if defined javaw_exe goto :EOF
8. Zip up the directory!

My dog doesn’t care that I write apps for Android, but she should. Sure, she can’t enjoy a good game of Temple Run, and she couldn’t care less about the latest, greatest Twitter app I installed (TweetLanes, if you’re interested). But she sure had fun at the dog park that I found on Yelp, and she certainly enjoys the dog treats I ordered from the Amazon Android app.

Where do Android apps come into play?

Tethering is used in many places as it is really beneficial for sharing Internet access on your computer or any tablet device by connecting it with the device your want to share it with. Generally a phone is tethered with computer and the connection of phone is used to surf on computer. But sometimes the necessity may be different and you might want to make tethering work the other way round and it is called reverse tethering. Yes, by reverse tethering you could use the connection in your computer or laptop to access Internet on your Android Device. And reverse tethering on Android phone without rooting your device can be done in a number ofways like you could do it with wireless connectivity,  wifi or simply by connecting your phone with the computer or
Laptop using the USB cable. So let’s start with the tutorial.

Reverse Tethering using WiFi:

Firstly well learn how to do reverse tethering on your Android phone usingthe wireless connection,  add or is much easier to set up,  and also it is more beneficial the reverse tethering done using the USB cable, in this you will have mobility as your phone will not be attached to any cable and you will be free to move around.

• Before starting to need an Internet connection on your laptop or computer and also wifi enabled on it.
•  A software named as Connectify 3. Install this software on your laptop.

• Now let’s configure this software for the first time.
•  In SSID write the name of the desired connection name.
•  You could set up the password of you want the connection to be password protected.  It is advised that you do at up a password.
• Now is the time to select the network that you want to share,  in this case or is the Internet  connection.  Also after that select the encryption.
• And after these small songs you are almost done  and now you need to switch on your wifi of phone and connect to the network you have just set up.  And then all you need to is enjoy.

Reverse Tethering using USB Tunnel:

• Enable the USB debugging phone in your Android Phone, by going into settings.
• Install the USB Tunnel on your Android phone. Download it fro here, additional link.
• Install the Host on your Computer, on which you want to do the reverse tethering. Download it from here.
• In the Configuration panel, insert the path to the ADB file. ADB is a part of the Android SDK. The installation will include the minimum files required for the process of reverse tethering..
• Add Tunnels in the window, it is composed of a name an Android Port  , a host IP and a host port, which may be different from the Android Port.

• Now we have to configure the Windows part. And note that low ports cannot be used, so different high port for the Phone, and another port for the host computer.
• Now connect the USB cable. and then refresh the window, and your device will display in the device list, and then click connect.
• Android USB tunnel will eventually start working in the background, and you will get a notification for that.
• Now you need to set up a proxy in your browser, although depending on your version of Android, it may be possible to define a http proxy in the advanced settings in the WiFi settings.
• Follow these steps to setup in the Opera Browser.
  • Enter opera:config in address bar of the browser.
  • Expand proxy line.
  • HTTP server : 127.0.0.1:8080
  • HTTPS server : 127.0.0.1:8080
  • Use HTTP : checked
  • Use HTTPS : checked
  • Click on  “Save”.
• Follow these steps to setup in FireFox Browser.
  • Enter about:config in the address bar  of the browser.
  • In search filter of the browser (below address bar), enter “proxy”.
  • Set the network.proxy.http to 127.0.0.1
  • Set  the network.proxy.http_port to 8080
  • Set  the network.proxy.type to 1 (Manual). Default is 5 (system)
• And by now you’re good to go. Now can simply enter the URL and surf. However make sure that the firewall does not block the AndroidTool.exe from accessing the internetconnection of you computer.
