codeappeal ..feel it

Lately I was developing a search dialog in my android application.
I read very good documentation at android cental.

Remember the time when you’ve been doing some changes on git repository, and the telephone rang just in the middle of coding?

Clients can be very convincing, when it comes to applying changes just in time.

In this situation git stash command can be very helpfull.

In my working scenario I use SmartGWT on top of the grails application. Normaly I provide custom build server for testing team, but today there was a I need to let them use my local instance.

In GWT plugin manual I found a solution but unhappily it didn't work for me.

I found I need to modify grails plugin itself in ~/.grails directory.

Below you can find short description of what needs to be done.

After some time working with android I started to look for possibilities to add some adds to applications.
Not mentioning mobile standards like AdMob I found AirPush which seems to be very intresting. Especially advanced possibilities to target add user. I will definitly give it a try.

In my daily job I’m a building SmartGWT application on top of grails server layer. I came to the point that I need all of +100 controllers to be secure. Moreover I need to distinguish which controllers actions should be given certain permissions. That’s a tough (boring) thing to do for that number of controllers.

It could be a joke if someone tell us that PHP would be one of developing languages for mobiles, but the impossible is nothing for Android: http://www.developer.com/lang/php/article.php/3904261/Build-Your-First-P...

Answer: Google :) I'm really amazed what's going on at Android technology - last few weeks I look at it closer, thinking about become an developer after regular job time (but now I'm really confused if I shouldn't look for full time job - it's so brilliant technology). Yesterday I have looked at some blogs and found something what is a revolution in developing for mobiles: http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/. Developing with Idea plugin, or Eclipse is great, but this tool seems to be so simple to use, that market share of Android should get a huge impact.

If you work with Lucene search or Solr, you probably would be interested in http://www.lucidimagination.com/Downloads/LucidGaze-for-Lucene - this is very useful monitoring tool, which most important features are:
* AnalysisStats: Analyzers, TokenFilters, TokenStreams, and Tokenizers, and which were used to produce the TokenStream for particular field
* DocumentStats: Number of documents indexed, as well as fields in the index

It's nice library which allows Hibernate to use geolocalization data - with few simple criteria queries you can search e.g. events in proximity of some place.

Some examples from their tutorial:

private List find(String wktFilter){
WKTReader fromText = new WKTReader();
Geometry filter = null;
try{
filter = fromText.read(wktFilter);
} catch(ParseException e){
throw new RuntimeException("Not a WKT String:" + wktFilter);
}
Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();

Today morning I have been frustrated because I had some applications run five times each. Why? Heh, long story :) Scripts that do upgrade should restart those application but every time things go wrong. I heard about Java Application Wrappers but I didn't know that using wrapper is so simple thing.

If You think it can be useful for You check YAJSW. It's free and it have most of all functionalities.
