Get start with Android apps development

Android is an open source operating system based on Linux kernel. It is found in millions of mobile devices such as Galaxy smart phones and tablets.

Android provides tools and libraries so that you can develop apps in mobile environment fast and easy. For example, Android SDK is a crucial tool that most Android developers use to write, debug, compile, and run the Android apps. Furthermore, this tool provides SDK download manager that allows you to download useful libraries, samples and more from the web. Android allows the developers to use a rich set of libraries such as libraries for creating apps interface, accessing files and databases, communicating with other devices and accessing the network resources, etc.

The fundamental programming language used in Android apps development is Java. Therefore, programmers that have previous experience with Java programming language can learn apps development faster than people who are new to Java. If you are new to Java, you can check this tutorial to learn the basic things about Java. If you want to look for free Java programs source code, please check this java programs blog.

What will you need?

I am a Window user so i will talk about developing Android apps in Windows operating systems. Firstly you will have Java SE installed in your computer. You can visit its official website to download the file. If you already have the Java SE installed, skip this step and move to download Android SDK. To develop apps for Android in Window operating systems, you need to download the Android SDK from its official Android website. This website allows you to download Android SDK for 32-bit or 64-bit Window platform. The download package is a zip file that contains every things that you need to develop Android apps. Then  extract the all files and directories in the zip file to place in a directory that you like.

In the directory that you placed the contents of the zip file, you will see three items as shown in the image above. The eclipse directory contains eclipse.exe file that you can double-click to open the eclipse program. You will create your Android projects with this program. The sdk directory contains samples, source code, and tools for Android development. The last item is a file called SDK manager.exe. It is used to open the Android SDK manager to download samples, source code, and tools for your projects.

In Windows, some people face a problem in launching the Android SDK manager. I faced too.

I spent more than an hour to solve this problem. If you have the same problem, the steps bellow can save your time:

1. Open the android.bat file in sdk directory

2. Look for this code:

rem Check we have a valid Java.exe in the path.

set java_exe=

call lib\find_java.bat

if not defined java_exe goto :EOF

3. Replace this code with the code below:

rem Check we have a valid Java.exe in the path.

set java_exe=C:\Windows\System32\java.exe

rem call lib\find_java.bat

if not defined java_exe goto :EOF

4 Look for this code:

rem Set SWT.Jar path based on current architecture (x86 or x86_64)

for /f %%a in ('%java_exe% -jar lib\archquery.jar') do set swt_path=lib\%%a

5. Replace this code with the code below:

rem Set SWT.Jar path based on current architecture (x86 or x86_64)

rem for /f %%a in ('%java_exe% -jar lib\archquery.jar') do set swt_path=lib\x86

set swt_path=lib\x86

If your Window is 64-bit, please change x86 to x86_64.

6. Finally, run the android.bat and SDK Manager again.

Now every thing is fine. You can start developing apps for Android mobile devices.

If you have any problem, you are encouraged to leave comments. I will reply as soon as possible.

Some SecureRandom Thoughts

Posted by Alex Klyubin, Android Security Engineer

The Android security team has been investigating the root cause of the compromise of a bitcoin transaction that led to the update of multiple Bitcoin applications on August 11.

We have now determined that applications which use the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) for key generation, signing, or random number generation may not receive cryptographically strong values on Android devices due to improper initialization of the underlying PRNG. Applications that directly invoke the system-provided OpenSSL PRNG without explicit initialization on Android are also affected. Applications that establish TLS/SSL connections using the HttpClient and java.net classes are not affected as those classes do seed the OpenSSL PRNG with values from /dev/urandom.

Developers who use JCA for key generation, signing or random number generation should update their applications to explicitly initialize the PRNG with entropy from /dev/urandom or /dev/random. A suggested implementation is provided at the end of this blog post. Also, developers should evaluate whether to regenerate cryptographic keys or other random values previously generated using JCA APIs such as SecureRandom, KeyGenerator, KeyPairGenerator, KeyAgreement, and Signature.

In addition to this developer recommendation, Android has developed patches that ensure that Android’s OpenSSL PRNG is initialized correctly. Those patches have been provided to OHA partners.

We would like to thank Soo Hyeon Kim, Daewan Han of ETRI and Dong Hoon Lee of Korea University who notified Google about the improper initialization of OpenSSL PRNG.

Update: the original code sample below crashed on a small fraction of Android devices due to /dev/urandom not being writable. We have now updated the code sample to handle this case gracefully.

Google Keep--Save what’s on your mind

Every day we all see, hear or think of things we need to remember. Usually we grab a pad of sticky-notes, scribble a reminder and put it on the desk, the fridge or the relevant page of a magazine. Unfortunately, if you’re like me you probably often discover that the desk, fridge or magazine wasn’t such a clever place to leave the note after all...it’s rarely where you need it when you need it.

To solve this problem we’ve created Google Keep. With Keep you can quickly jot ideas down when you think of them and even include checklists and photos to keep track of what’s important to you. Your notes are safely stored in Google Drive and synced to all your devices so you can always have them at hand.

If it’s more convenient to speak than to type that’s fine—Keep transcribes voice memos for you automatically. There’s super-fast search to find what you’re looking for and when you’re finished with a note you can archive or delete it.

Changing priorities isn’t a problem: just open Keep on your Android phone or tablet (there’s a widget so you can have Keep front and center all the time) and drag your notes around to reflect what matters. You can choose the color for each note too.

Pro tip: for adding thoughts quickly without unlocking your device there's a lock screen widget (on devices running Android 4.2+).

Google Keep is available on Google Play for devices running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and above. You can access, edit and create new notes on the web at http://drive.google.com/keep and in the coming weeks you'll be able to do the same directly from Google Drive.

Poweramp 2.0 skips on Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) A. Please set Large in Poweramp Settings => Audio Engine => Advanced Tweaks => Audio Buffer Size. Q. My songs are missing from folders/library. A. Please ensure you have all your folders with music actually checked in Poweramp Settings => Music Folders. Your original Android Library is not changed, nor any files deleted. Poweramp 2.0.1 has Auto-find option in Settings. This will import your Android library folders into Poweramp. Poweramp library is a separate, completely independent library. When you installed Poweramp 2.0, it just got filled with the files scanned from your sd card/other flash memory, as specified in Music Folders. By default these are /music, /mp3 and Google music cache directory, or the Poweramp 1.4 previous music folders settings. Q. Freeze/too slow folders/library scan A. You have (semi)broken SD card. Please check your SD card for errors on computer or try another SD card. Q. Where is Auto-advance Setting now in Poweramp 2.0 A. It's merged with Repeat modes. Just keep pressing Repeat mode until Advance List. Q. Volume too low. Volume changes weirdly. Other volume issues. A. Try to disable Direct Volume Control in PowerAMP Settings => Audio Engine => Advanced Tweaks. Poweramp 2.x uses Direct Volume Control by default on 2.3+ mid-to-high end devices. On stock ROMs this produces much better audio output. But many custom/buggy ROMs, while supporting DVC, can fail with it. Q. Poweramp 2.0 widget becomes white/doesn't work on phone reboot A. This can happen if something blocks Poweramp from starting on reboot and updating the widget - task managers, auto-start tweaking. If you use such apps/tweaks, you may need to add Poweramp (or/and WidgetPack) to exceptions list. Q. Can I get Poweramp v1.4 look? A. You can download "Poweramp Classic Skin" on Market.

Scanner Radio v3.5.1 - Download APK

Description Listen to police and fire departments from around the world on your phone. Listen to live audio from over 2,900 police and fire scanners, weather radios, and amateur radio repeaters from around the world (with more being added daily). Features: * Add scanners you listen to the most to your Favorites list for quick access. * View scanners that are located nearest you, sorted by distance, by clicking on "Near Me" * View the top 50 scanners that have the most listeners (updated every 5 minutes). * View list of scanners added most recently (new additions are being added all the time). * Browse the directory of scanner feeds by location or by genre (public safety, weather, railroad, etc). * Configure alerts to have the app notify you when lots of people are listening to a scanner (indicating that something big may be happening). * Add Scanner Radio widgets and/or shortcuts to your phone's home screen for quick access. * Add a "Scanner Radio Favorite" shortcut to your home screen to launch a scanner feed via an alarm clock app or automation app. This is the free version of the app, below are the benefits of purchasing the Pro version (for $2.99): * The Pro version contains no ads. * Allows you to specify what times of day you want to receive listener alerts. * Allows you to setup listener alerts for scanners located near you. * The play button at the top of the directory screens and on the widgets is functional. * Allows you to listen to archived audio (from the past 30 days) if you have a RadioReference.com Premium Subscription. Their premium subscription is $15 for 6 months, without it you will not be able to access their audio archives using the app. The audio is provided by volunteers using real scanner radios. If your area is not available, see the menu in the app for information on how to get it added. Explanation of why various permissions are needed: The "Modify global system settings" permission is needed in order for the app to be able to change the device's "Wi-Fi Sleep Policy" to "Never" (but only with your permission). When you run the app, it will check the setting and ask you if you would like for it to be changed to "Never" (if it's set to something else) so that the scanner audio won't be interrupted if the screen turns off while you're listening over Wi-Fi. The "Phone Calls / Read Phone State" permission is needed by the app so that it can detect when you're placing a phone call (or when one is being received) so that it can automatically stop the streaming of the audio to prevent it from interfering with the call. The "Fine (GPS) Location" and "Coarse Location" permissions are required so that the app can determine what scanners are located in your area when you click on "Near Me". When you click on "Near Me" the app first attempts to determine your location via the network, if that fails the app then tries to determine your location via GPS. The "Automatically Start at Boot" permission is required so that a small portion of the app can be started when your phone boots if (and only if) you turn on the listener alert checking feature of the app (that feature is turned off by default). If the audio repeats or the app stays connected for only a short time, try returning to a directory screen in the app, then select "Settings" from the menu, then "Player settings", and then try changing the "Streaming method" setting. Note that the widgets are not available if the app has been installed on an SD card. If you can't find the widgets, move the app off of your SD card. Follow "Scanner Radio" on Facebook or ScannerRadio on Twitter to be notified about service interruptions, new beta versions, etc.
