A guide for beginners. How to setup Android SDK?


Setting up the SDK

Hi guys, I prepared this pdf some time ago for a workshop at my university. It is only about setting up the Android SDK. You can see step-by-step instructions on how to set up your environment to start developing Android. If you are new to Android then it's really nice for you. I'm too lazy to type a whole new post about it so just download the pdf in the link below. ;)

 In the document, I've used ADT bundle which includes Android SDK and Eclipse IDE. But you can try it out with Android studio as well. I highly recommend using Android studio because it is developed from IntelliJ Idea IDE and comes with cool new features.

VLC skins

It's been a while from my first blog post, so today I thought to make a blog post about skins in VLC player. I think you all are familiar with VLC player if not, here's the link for the website www.videolan.org/vlc/index.htm l In brief, VLC player is a free and opensource player that can play almost all the types of media formats. Even though it is a such a nice player, it looks kind of old and rusty, like the windows classic look. But you can make it prettier by just adding some new skins to it.  You can download skins for the player from here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php Then place the downloaded skin file (.vlt file) in the " skin " folder in the installation directory.           eg:- in windows:    C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\skins           or in linux systems:  ~/.local/share/vlc/skins Then, open the VLC player and go to the preferences. ...

Java, how to create a list with a single element

 I wanted to create a Java List with a single element. Yet, I wanted to add more elements later. So, I was looking for a couple of ways to do this. So far there are multiple elegant ways to create a list with a single element with a one-liner. Not so much for a modifiable list though. Here's what I gathered so far. Followings are a few ways of creating a list with strictly a single entry. Can't add more elements. 1. Collections.singletonList() This returns an immutable list that cannot be modified or add more elements. // An immutable list containing only the specified object. List<String> oneEntryList = Collections. singletonList ( "one" ) ; oneEntryList.add( "two" ) ; // throws UnsupportedOperationException 2.  Arrays.asList() This returns a fixed-size list consisting of the number of elements provided as arguments. The number of elements provided would be an array hence the size is fixed to the length of the array. // Returns a fixed-size list List...

Facebook videos are too loud

Not sure if it is only me, but as of this writing, I find some of the Facebook videos are too loud compared with other websites or players on the machine. Whenever I play a video, I usually turn the volume down. Then whenever there's an ad, it screams in my ears. Same when I play the next video, the former adjusted volume level doesn't stick. This could be a bug in FB, so I even suggested a feature improvement.  As a solution, I found this chrome plugin. Sound and video fixes for Facebook Don't know who developed it, but the dude has fixed one of Facebook's problems, and many thanks to the developer. I might as well help him out as it is an open-source project. No more screaming videos!
