Android Development Environment Setup for Windows 8

Setting the Android Development Environment is very simple and explained step by step in android.com web site, But these steps lacks some information. 

This site says that if you download the “ADT Bundle for Windows” you will have everything to start the development process. But if you do so then the first error you will get that eclipse will not run if your PC is freshly windows installed or no JVM installed in your PC. 

So, you need to download and install “jdk-7u21-windows-x64 .exe“. 

After That if you need to run your android application in Samsung Android Phone, Then you are in big trouble, because Samsung kies have no driver version yet for windows8. So, if you install kies, it will not install the driver for the phone and you will not able to browse your phone or can not debug your software in you device.

What you need to do is download latest version of kies and install it.

after installation go to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver” 

Right click on “SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe” -> “Properties” -> “Compatibility” -> Check “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” -> choose “Windows 7”

Now install the USB driver again. 

 

Now it will work fine. Thank you for reading this article. 🙂

Quick Start: Unicode Support for C++ Application

This is a quick start guidance :

Here I will provide very simple example about how we can develop C++ application to support UNICODE characters.

Here some generic purpose function and data type name listed with example, which can be used with both Unicode and non-Unicode characters based on the project settings.  If _UNICODE is defined in project settings then these generic function and data types will automatically convert to defined types.

1. Use “CString” instead of using “String”

e.g.

String testString = “Hello World”;        [Do not use]

CString testString = _T(Hello World);  [Need to use]

 

2. Use “TCHAR” instead of using “char” or “wchar_t”

e.g.

char testChar = ‘H’;               [Do not use]

TCHAR testChar = _T(‘H’);   [Need to use]

 

3. Use “_T()” while writing string literals

e.g.

char testString [] = “Hello World”; [Do not use]

TCHAR testString[] = _T(“Hello World”); [Need to use]

 

4. Use Generic Text Routine Mapping [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tsbaswba(v=vs.80).aspx] instead of using specific functions and data types.

e.g. use “_tcscpy” instead of using strcpy

 

Robotics in Bangladesh

I am writing this post as I have faced some trouble to find shop to buy parts i.e. In system programmer, IC, and other electronics parts which are needed to build initial robotic program.

This post is for the student or any interested person who is interested to study and willing to work on robotics from the very beginning. You will get some basic information regarding where you can buy these parts in Dhaka, Bangladesh and build initial circuit and program simple function in to the micro-controller and and run it.

This post is some kind of running HELLO WORLD application from shopping robotics parts in Bangladesh to blink a led using those parts.

Design Pattern Series 2 : Decorator Pattern

Decorator Pattern:

• Closed for Modification, Open for Extension.
• Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality.

WIP …

Design Pattern Series 1 : Strategy Pattern

Strategy Pattern:

• Define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it.
• All the algorithm will be independently and will share a common Base class.
• There will be a “has-a” relationship between the implementing and algorithm base class.
• There will be a Strategy set method or Custom constructor to set the strategy algorithm that will be used by the implementing class.

C# TreeView – CheckBox – Double Click – BUG – for VISTA and Win7

This bug arises in Vista and Win7 whenever you double click on the TreeView item checkbox. Double click will not fire any even but it will change the check status of that item which leads to inconsistent behavior of TreeView item checking.

Solution : use this  NewTreeView class instead of TreeView default class.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class NewTreeView : TreeView {
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
 if (m.Msg == 0x203) { m.Result = IntPtr.Zero; }
 else base.WndProc(ref m);
 }
}

Fastest Create File List in C#

Fastest file list creation in C# using core C. This process is helpful to build fast application for file manipulation using C#, as default file manipulation function api’s of C# are very slow.

Mobile Software programming

if u have some basic idea about programming then you can develop your own java games or software for your mobile using NetBean 6 .

for this you need to have two software to download,

1. Netbean 6 – http://www.netbeans.org/downloads

2. Java SDK 6 – http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Developing mobile software using these software then Deploy them into your mobile is really interesting… download them , install it and use it… if you have any problem then pls inform me. I will try to make it out…

Disappear / Hide start menu, Desktop Icons Beacuse of Virus or Spyware

If you are facing such types of problem like start menu bar and Desktop Icons has been disappeared and you are not able to run your any program from your PC. Here I am giving you the solutions for that.

🙂 This problem is because of spy wares like Trojan.
🙂 If this Trojan attacks you then you can not use your start menu or any desktop icons. There is only one way ( From my point of view or you can say because of lack of research I found this solution) to use your programs. TO DO that , Press ( CTRL + ALT + DEL) key , then Task manager will appear.

Then click

File -> New Task (Run …) -> Browse ( select the program you want to use)

potentially you can use most of the program but you can not use My Computer. If you explorer then automatically it will be close only.

Now come to the point that how to solve this problem. JUST NOW I GOT RELIEF from this problem.

DOWNLOAD SUPERAntiSpyware from http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html
download the free edition , its free and works fine.

then Install it . TO install it you need to follow the previous techniques that I have give early by using CTRL + ALT + DEL -> File -> New Task -> Browse to the download folder and select the setup file. it will be installed in your PC after you press ok. After installing it will ask for update the virus definition. Update it. without updating the definition it may not work properly.

Then when now the problem is how you can RUN the installed program. To Do that …

CTRL + ALT + DEL -> File -> New Task -> Browse -> right click and click Explore .

In this time for 20 to 30 second the start menu will be visible then you run the program form the start menu … be sure to do it fast. and then scan the whole computer and after scanning select all the spyware that has be detected and clear it. Restart is needed to

…………. IF THIS process not work in your computer then Install another copy of Windows OS in another drive and download , install , update and scan the system with the SUPERAntySpyware .
