Good Weekend

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

REST on Android

For my upcoming application, I wanted to work with REST on Android. It seemed to be straightforward after I came across this article. I have an interesting idea for an app and I am hoping to get it on the Android Market soon.

AzMan Reports

Had to generate a whole bunch of reports from AzMan. I'll post some code this weekend that shows what I did in detail. I know I mentioned this reporting project in the past, but it had some major upgrades today....

Android Music Player and Sync

Download doubletwist to sync from your machine and MixZing from the android market (an iphone clone). Dvd Jon brings us doubletwist, but this app is legit in that no DRM is broken.

Android Wishlist?

So what is on your android wishlist? I need some ideas on what to build!

Alphabet in C#

I saw some code that someone wrote at our company and he was reading the English alphabet from a config file. Granted, that I don't like that...I was looking for an easy way to do it and add to an array not from a config...or build it on the fly. I know I can easily add it to an array like:

char[] alpheng = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".ToCharArray();

I came across this:

char[] az = Enumerable.Range('a', 'z' - 'a' + 1).Select(i => (Char)i).ToArray();
foreach (var c in az)
{
   Console.WriteLine(c);
}

Even funnier was that the suggested answer was what I said at the begining of this post and then someone came after that and gave this unique solution.

Droid Yahoo Mail and Hotmail

Getting gmail is straightforward, after all it it is google based! However, what about Yahoo, Hotmail, and other providers? Here is how you would get Yahoo. You can find Hotmail here.

I have been enjoying my new phone!
