Why Obama Visit To Kenya Should No Be A Big Deal

Why Obama Visit To Kenya Should No Be A Big Deal:
It's early, evening.
Waiting for Obama to arrive in kenya. I'm briefly thinkin on How to
Solve the Biggest Problems With Kenya.
But wait ....
we are happy. We get to be happy when one of our blood member returns
back after a long period of time.
Welcome back Obama, Karibu Nyumbani.
There are many possibilities that many things will change for better
or for worse. We hope for the very best.
Starting from things to great things.
It looks pecuilar when some things are describe inappropriately.
Talk of Cars, Yes, Ship, Jets..., it looks so mind blowing.
One thing to note is that Obama will come and go.
It's right that he after a period of time will depart.
President Barack Obama has not come to end Poverty in Afric

a, Kenya or Kogelo.
The US president has not come to end hate.
The US president has not come to end Tribalism.
The US president has n ot come to end The rooted corruption in our society.
It is absurd that schools have to be closed a day earlier before.
It's kind of mental slavery thing networked within the precious people.
Something or someone should not be overvalued.
The US is a land containing people Citizen just as Kenya or any other country.
They are as well faced with its own challenges.
Talk of racism will break your heart.
Discrimination there have been a major concern.
In my own opinion i would have expected Obama and Uhuru to make a great deal.
What is it? Definately create some land and and limited laws
governing ownership, citizenship and some travel stuff. Sorry for i
don't know how to put it. Oh Right. Hope you will get to understand
deeply.
So that our own black people would find their roots in the United
States of Africa.

How To Format Any Android Phone Without PC

iMAGE VREDIT: ANDROID

I have been thinking much on how to Solve the Biggest Problems With android.
One of them is Formatting. Being a Windows Phone lover, the Android
phone has recently been impressing.
With the timely changes in various operating systems, it has become an hotcake.
You understand when you can't hold on conversation anymore with
Android fan friends.
It's quite Okay, i'm into it too.
The story of formatting that is wiping all phones data to return its
manufucturer state.
This quick tutorial is just for educational purpose.
We don't advocate it for misuse.

A great folk of mine sent me this code to format any Android phone by
yourself and i decides to share it here for those who need it.
Imagine when you buy a brand new second hand and it's slow and loaded
with unwanted data.

To format your Android phone,just dial *2767*3855#.

This code is used for factory format.
It will remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage.
It will format every files and data on your phone and make your phone
back to default(empty)
Reason why you can format your Android is probably you want to buy or
sell your phone to your friend and you need to clear all your data.
Note: If you are not ready to loose your files and contacts, its
adviceable for you to remove your memory card first before trying this
code.

How To Change IMEI Number of Nokia Lumia (All Windows Phone).

IMAGE CREDIT: NOKIA


How to change imei number of nokia lumia 720.
The Imei is like a serial number for that phone- once it is there it
is there- there is no legal way to change it- and any illegal way
would only change the number on the back of the phone not its history.
what you have is what you have. But why would you want to change the
IMEI on the phone itself. It is not uncommon to call a carrier to have
the IMEI updated because you have another phone- but if you give them
the wrong IMEI or a false one which you have managed to somehow
change- it will do you no good, it does sound like this phone has a
history you do not want traced for some reason-either way you cannot
easily, if at all, change the IMEI.

What You Absolutely HAVE To Do After Getting Your Passport

Credit to: Sineta George

"Ok... I did a GREAT POST this morning about what you absolutely HAVE
to do (after getting a passport) before moving outside of the US. Then
my computer locked up, I had to reboot and lost it! It must have been
too long! Now I will do the short version cuz I gotta get up outta
here 2day!
#1 (and please just take my word for it!) PAYPAL PAYPAL PAYPAL!
3 accounts if you can work it out like that, all connected to bank
accounts WITH AN ATM CARD... open what's called a 'BUSINESS ACCOUNT'
so you get the Visa/Mastercard as well. This is crucial. Even if it's
only connected to a savings account with $20 bucks, it doesn't matter.
What matters is you have to have ACCESS to money, online, 24/7 at
every atm machine in the world at a low price. $1.50 per withdrawal,
zero for bank charges for grocery stores & restaurants. If something
happens and paypal shuts down your account you will have 2 more to
fall back on. Western Union and wire transfers are expensive and with
PayPal you can send money to other people or get money from other
people, in seconds, then WALK to the atm machine in your neighborhood
(if you are in Senegal - we have them on every block!) and withdraw.
Also, at some point you may want to sell stuff on eBay (and you will),
or buy stuff off Amazon (and you will), PayPal accounts that are set
up in the US are REQUIRED.
Credit cards from black banks, Chase Manhattan, Citibank, all that
stuff is GREAT! Bring what you've got but the most important card you
can have is your paypal card. Trust me - I've been here 16 years and
it has saved my life many times whereas other banks you have to call,
they put you on hold, take forever, lose the call, costs you money etc
etc etc.
#2 as a follow up to #1, open an eBay and Amazon account and be sure
you have SELLERS ACCOUNTS so you have the option of doing online
commerce if your whiz bang business plan isn't as whiz bang as you
thought it was. Again, trying to open or convert accounts while
sitting in Africa is not allowed or impossible.
#3 find and appoint a close friend or family member (with a paypal
account) that you can trust 100% to take care of shipping and
financial matters for you. This person should be able to accept money
for you, send it to you thru paypal, accept packages that you order on
eBay, and ship to you. If you don't have someone to take care of your
shipping, open a private PO box where there is a forwarding service.
This will allow you to have a US address and you can order Twizzlers
or whatever when you get a craving and they will hold it for you until
you are ready to get many items shipped at once. Pay for 1 or 2 years
in advance so you don't have any problems.
#4 get an international driver's license from AAA or wherever they
come from. Make sure it's an internationallyaccepted international
card. There are probably scams out there so be careful.
#5 get duplicate original copies of important documents (insurance
policies, medical records if they are necessary, birth certificates,
etc) and your children and give them to the trusted friend/family
member and also if you have children, bring 3 original birth
certificates for school. They require original documents for the
testing centers to cut down on cheating. It's a long story but anyway,
it's a good system and it works. All students have to turn in an
original birth certificate to take the tests and if you don't have one
and have to wait on it your child will not be able to sit for exams.
They are done all at once, during one week, at different testing
centers/schools (they switch schools so teachers, class monitors and
students don't know each other) all around the country period. No
exceptions. Having extras will insure that if something happens to one
(water damage for example) then you have another somewhere else.
These 5 things are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE but the easiest things to
take care of. Don't wait, do it now so you can check it off your
list!".

PLO Lumumba Describing the Xenophobic Attacks in South Africa Translation

Though it is said that the strong message was posted by a rouge fake

Android Tutorial Lesson 8 - Arena

What is the role of Android Market in compatibility?
Devices that are Android compatible may seek to license
the Android Market client software.
This allows them to
become part of the Android app ecosystem, by allowing
users to download developers' apps from a catalog shared
by all compatible devices.
This option isn't available to
devices that aren't compatible.
What kinds of devices can be Android compatible?

The Android software can be ported to a lot of different
kinds of devices, including some on which third-party apps
won't run properly.
The Android Compatibility Definition
Document (CDD) spells out the specific device
configurations that will be considered compatible.
For example, though the Android source code could be
ported to run on a phone that doesn't have a camera, the
CDD requires that in order to be compatible, all phones
must have a camera.
This allows developers to rely on a
consistent set of capabilities when writing their apps.
The CDD will evolve over time to reflect market realities.
For instance, the 1.6 CDD only allows cell phones, but the
2.1 CDD allows devices to omit telephony hardware,
allowing for non-phone devices such as tablet-style music
players to be compatible. As we make these changes, we
will also augment Android Market to allow developers to
retain control over where their apps are available.
To
continue the telephony example, an app that manages SMS
text messages would not be useful on a media player, so
Android Market allows the developer to restrict that app
exclusively to phone devices.
If my device is compatible, does it automatically have
access to Android Market and branding?
Android Market is a service operated by Google. Achieving
compatibility is a prerequisite for obtaining access to the
Android Market software and branding. Device
manufacturers should contact Google to obtain access to
Android Market.
If I am not a manufacturer, how can I get Android Market?
Android Market is only licensed to handset manufacturers
shipping devices.
For questions about specific cases,
contact android-partnerships@google.com .
How can I get access to the Google apps for Android, such
as Maps?
The Google apps for Android, such as YouTube, Google
Maps and Navigation, Gmail, and so on are Google
properties that are not part of Android, and are licensed
separately. Contact android-partnerships@google.com for
inquiries related to those apps.
Is compatibility mandatory?
No. The Android Compatibility Program is optional.
Since
the Android source code is open, anyone can use it to build
any kind of device. However, if a manufacturer wishes to
use the Android name with their product, or wants access
to Android Market, they must first demonstrate that the
device is compatible.
How much does compatibility certification cost?
There is no cost to obtain Android compatibility for a
device.
The Compatibility Test Suite is open-source and
available to anyone to use to test a device.
How long does compatibility take?
The process is automated. The Compatibility Test Suite
generates a report that can be provided to Google to verify
compatibility. Eventually we intend to provide self-service
tools to upload these reports to a public database.
Who determines what will be part of the compatibility
definition?
Since Google is responsible for the overall direction of
Android as a platform and product, Google maintains the
Compatibility Definition Document for each release. We
draft the CDD for a new Android version in consultation
with a number of OEMs, who provide input on its contents.
How long will each Android version be supported for new
devices?
Since Android's code is open-source, we can't prevent
someone from using an old version to launch a device.
Instead, Google chooses not to license the Android Market
client software for use on versions that are considered
obsolete. This allows anyone to continue to ship old
versions of Android, but those devices won't use the
Android name and will exist outside the Android apps
ecosystem, just as if they were non-compatible.
Can a device have a different user interface and still be
compatible?
The Android Compatibility Program focuses on whether a
device can run third-party applications.
The user interface
components shipped with a device (such as home screen,
dialer, color scheme, and so on) does not generally have
much effect on third-party apps. As such, device builders
are free to customize the user interface as much as they
like.
The Compatibility Definition Document does restrict the
degree to which OEMs may alter the system user interface
for areas that do impact third-party apps.

Android Tutorial Lesson 6 - Arena

What is involved in releasing the source code for a new
Android version?
Releasing the source code for a new version of the Android
platform is a significant process. First, the software gets
built into a system image for a device, and put through
various forms of certification, including government
regulatory certification for the regions the phones will be
deployed. It also goes through operator testing. This is an
important phase of the process, since it helps shake out a
lot of software bugs.
Once the release is approved by the regulators and
operators, the manufacturer begins mass producing
devices, and we turn to releasing the source code.
Simultaneous to mass production the Google team kicks
off several efforts to prepare the open source release.
These efforts include final API changes and documentation
(to reflect any changes that were made during qualification
testing, for example), preparing an SDK for the new version,
and launching the platform compatibility information.
Also included is a final legal sign-off to release the code
into open source.
Just as open source contributors are
required to sign a Contributors License Agreement attesting
to their IP ownership of their contribution, Google too must
verify that it is clear to make contributions.
Starting at the time mass production begins, the software
release process usually takes around a month, which often
roughly places source code releases around the same time
that the devices reach users.
How does the AOSP relate to the Android Compatibility
Program?
The Android Open-Source Project maintains the Android
software, and develops new versions. Since it's open-
source, this software can be used for any purpose,
including to ship devices that are not compatible with other
devices based on the same source.
The function of the Android Compatibility Program is to
define a baseline implementation of Android that is
compatible with third-party apps written by developers.
Devices that are "Android compatible" may participate in
the Android ecosystem, including Android Market; devices
that don't meet the compatibility requirements exist outside
that ecosystem.
In other words, the Android Compatibility Program is how
we separate "Android compatible devices" from devices
that merely run derivatives of the source code. We
welcome all uses of the Android source code, but only
Android compatible devices — as defined and tested by the
Android Compatibility Program — may participate in the
Android ecosystem.
How can I contribute to Android?
There are a number of ways you can contribute to Android.
You can report bugs, write apps for Android, or contribute
source code to the Android Open-Source Project.
There are some limits on the kinds of code contributions
we are willing or able to accept. For instance, someone
might want to contribute an alternative application API,
such as a full C++-based environment. We would decline
that contribution, since Android is focused on applications
that run in the Dalvik VM. Alternatively, we won't accept
contributions such as GPL or LGPL libraries that are
incompatible with our licensing goals.
We encourage those interested in contributing source code
to contact us via the AOSP Community page prior to
beginning any work. You can find more information on this
topic at the Getting Involved page.
How do I become an Android committer?
The Android Open Source Project doesn't really have a
notion of a "committer". All contributions — including those
authored by Google employees — go through a web-based
system known as "gerrit" that's part of the Android
engineering process. This system works in tandem with the
git source code management system to cleanly manage
source code contributions.
Once submitted, changes need to be accepted by a
designated Approver. Approvers are typically Google
employees, but the same approvers are responsible for all
submissions, regardless of origin.
You can find more information on this topic at the
Submitting Patches page.
Compatibility
What does "compatibility"mean?
We define an "Android compatible" device as one that can
run any application written by third-party developers using
the Android SDK and NDK. We use this as a filter to
separate devices that can participate in the Android app
ecosystem, and those that cannot. Devices that are
properly compatible can seek approval to use the Android
trademark.
Devices that are not compatible are merely
derived from the Android source code and may not use the
Android trademark.
In other words, compatibility is a prerequisite to participate
in the Android apps ecosystem. Anyone is welcome to use
the Android source code, but if the device isn't compatible,
it's not considered part of the Android ecosystem.

Lesson 4 - How is the Android Software Developed

How is the Android software developed?
Each platform version of Android (such as 1.5, 1.6, and so

on) has a corresponding branch in the open-source tree. At
any given moment, the most recent such branch will be
considered the "current stable" branch version. This
current stable branch is the one that manufacturers port to
their devices. This branch is kept suitable for release at all
times.
Simultaneously,there is also a "current experimental"
branch, which is where speculative contributions, such as
large next-generationfeatures, are developed. Bug fixes
and other contributions can be included in the current
stable branch from the experimental branch as
appropriate.
Finally, Google works on the next version of the Android
platform in tandem with developing a flagship device. This
branch pulls in changes from the experimental and stable
branches as appropriate.
You can find more information on this topic at our
Branches and Releases.
Why are parts of Android developed in private?
It typically takes over a year to bring a device to market,
but of course device manufacturers want to ship the latest
software they can. Developers, meanwhile, don't want to
have to constantly track new versions of the platform when
writing apps. Both groups experience a tension between
shipping products, and not wanting to fall behind.
To address this, some parts of the next version of Android
including the core platform APIs are developed in a private
branch. These APIs constitute the next version of Android.
Our aim is to focus attention on the current stable version
of the Android source code, while we create the next
version of the platform as driven by flagship Android
devices. This allows developers and OEMs to focus on a
single version without having to track unfinished future
work just to keep up. Other parts of the Android system
that aren't related to application compatibility are
developed in the open, however. It's our intention to move
more of these parts to open development over time.
When are source code releases made?
When they are ready. Some parts of Android are developed
in the open, so that source code is always available.
Other
parts are developed first in a private tree, and that source
code is released when the next platform version is ready.
In some releases, core platform APIs will be ready far
enough in advance that we can push the source code out
for an early look in advance of the device's release;
however in others, this isn't possible. In all cases, we
release the platform source when we feel the version has
stabilized enough, and when the development process
permits. Releasing the source code is a fairly complex
process.

Give an example.
Specify android id, layout height and width as depicted in
the following example.
What languages does Android support for application
development?
Android applications are written using the Java
programming language.
Describe Android Application Architecture.
Android Application Architecture has the following
components:
• Services – like Network Operation
• Intent - To perform inter-communication between
activities or services
• Resource Externalization- such as strings and graphics
• Notification signaling users - light, sound, icon,
notification, dialog etc.
• Content Providers - They share data between applications
Common Tricky questions
Remember that the GUI layer doesn't request data
directly from the web; data is always loaded from a local
database.
The service layer periodically updates the local
database.
What is the risk in blocking the Main thread when
performing a lengthy operation such as web access or
heavy computation? Application_Not_Responding
exception will be thrown which will crash and restart the
application.
Why is List View not recommended to have active
components? Clicking on the active text box will pop up the
software keyboard but this will resize the list, removing
focus from the clicked element.
Open Source
What is the Android Open Source Project?
We use the phrase "Android Open Source Project" or
"AOSP" to refer to the people, the processes, and the
source code that make up Android.
The people oversee the project and develop the actual
source code.
The processes refer to the tools and
procedures we use to manage the development of the
software.
The net result is the source code that you can
use to build cell phone and other devices.
Why did we open the Android source code?
Google started the Android project in response to our own
experiences launching mobile apps. We wanted to make
sure that there would always be an open platform available
for carriers, OEMs, and developers to use to make their
innovative ideas a reality.
We also wanted to make sure
that there was no central point of failure, so that no single
industry player could restrict or control the innovations of
any other.
The single most important goal of the Android
Open-Source Project (AOSP) is to make sure that the open-
source Android software is implemented as widely and
compatibly as possible, to everyone's benefit.
You can find more information on this topic at our Project
Philosophy page.
What kind of open-source project is Android?
Google oversees the development of the core Android
open-source platform, and works to create robust
developer and user communities. For the most part the
Android source code is licensed under the permissive
Apache Software License 2.0, rather than a "copyleft"
license.
The main reason for this is because our most
important goal is widespread adoption of the software, and
we believe that the ASL2.0 license best achieves that goal.
You can find more information on this topic at our Project
Philosophy and Licensing pages.
Why is Google in charge of Android?
Launching a software platform is complex. Openness is
vital to the long-term success of a platform, since
openness is required to attract investment from developers
and ensure a level playing field. However, the platform
itself must also be a compelling product to end users.
That's why Google has committed the professional
engineering resources necessary to ensure that Android is
a fully competitive software platform. Google treats the
Android project as a full-scale product development
operation, and strikes the business deals necessary to
make sure that great devices running Android actually
make it to market.
By making sure that Android is a success with end users,
we help ensure the vitality of Android as a platform, and as
an open-source project. After all, who wants the source
code to an unsuccessful product?
Google's goal is to ensure a successful ecosystem around
Android, but no one is required to participate, of course.
We
opened the Android source code so anyone can modify and
distribute the software to meet their own needs.
What is Google's overall strategy for Android product
development?
We focus on releasing great devices into a competitive
marketplace, and then incorporate the innovations and
enhancements we made into the core platform, as the next
version.
In practice, this means that the Android engineering team
typically focuses on a small number of "flagship" devices,
and develops the next version of the Android software to
support those product launches. These flagship devices
absorb much of the product risk and blaze a trail for the
broad OEM community, who follow up with many more
devices that take advantage of the new features.
In this
way, we make sure that the Android platform evolves
according to the actual needs of real-world devices.

Android Tutorial Lesson 3

What is a Theme ?
A set of properties (text size, background color, and so on)
bundled together to define various default display settings.
Android provides a few standard themes, listed in R.style
(starting with "Theme_").
What is an URIs?
Android uses URI strings both for requesting data (e.g., a
list of contacts) and for requesting actions (e.g., opening a
Web page in a browser). Both are valid URI strings, but
have different values. All requests for data must start with
the string "content://". Action strings are valid URIs that
can be handled appropriately by applications on the device;
for example, a URI starting with "http://" will be handled by
the browser.

Can I write code for Android using C/C++?
Yes, but need to use NDK
Android applications are written using the Java
programming language. Android includes a set of core
libraries that provides most of the functionality available in
the core libraries of the Java programming language.
Every Android application runs in its own process, with its
own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has been
written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently.
The Dalvik VM executes files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex)
format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint.
The VM is register-based,and runs classes compiled by a
Java language compiler that have been transformed into
the .dex format by the included "dx" tool.
Android only supports applications written using the Java
programming language at this time.
What is an action?
A description of something that an Intent sender desires.
What is activity?
A single screen in an application, with supporting Java
code.
What is intent?
A class (Intent) describes what a caller desires to do. The
caller sends this intent to Android's intent resolver, which
finds the most suitable activity for the intent. E.g. opening a
PDF file is an intent, and the Adobe Reader is the suitable
activity for this intent.

and the middle is scaled in both axes.
What languages does Android support for application
development?
Android applications are written using the Java
programming language.

What's the difference between file, class and activity in
android?
File - It is a block of arbitrary information, or resource for
storing information. It can be of any type.
Class - Its a compiled form of .Java file . Android finally
used this .class files to produce an executable apk
Activity - An activity is the equivalent of a Frame/Window in
GUI toolkits.
It is not a file or a file type it is just a class
that can be extended in Android for loading UI elements on
view.
What is a Sticky Intent?
sendStickyBroadcast() performs a sendBroadcast (Intent)
that is "sticky," i.e. the Intent you are sending stays around
after the broadcast is complete, so that others can quickly
retrieve that data through the return value of
registerReceiver (BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter).
In all
other ways, this behaves the same as sendBroadcast
(Intent).
One example of a sticky broadcast sent via the operating
system is ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED. When you call
registerReceiver() for that action -- even with a null
BroadcastReceiver -- you get the Intent that was last
broadcast for that action. Hence, you can use this to find
the state of the battery without necessarily registering for
all future state changes in the battery.
Does Android support the Bluetooth serial port profile?
Yes.
Can an application be started on powerup?
Yes.

Describe a real time scenario where android can be used?
Imagine a situation that you are in a country where no one
understands the language you speak and you can not read
or write. However, you have mobile phone with you.
With a mobile phone with android, the Google translator
translates the data of one language into another language
by using XMPP to transmit data.
You can type the message
in English and select the language which is understood by
the citizens of the country in order to reach the message to
the citizens.
