How to setup Eclipse for Android Development

In order to work with Android Development Environment, Eclipse is one of the preferred tools. Following are the steps used to setup Eclipse for the development:


Step 1: Download the JDK Standard Edition from Oracle's website.

Step 2: Install the JDK Standard Edition

Step 3: Set the path of the Bin directory of JDK installation in the Environmental variable called PATH in Windows Environment.

Step 4: Download the Android SDK from Google.

Step 5: Install Android SDK and Select platforms which you want to download i.e. 2.2, 2.3, Android 4.0 ICS.

Step 6: Download Eclipse Software from Eclipse.org

Step 7. Install Eclipse software. While installation, it should automatically pick path of JDK installation. If not picked up automatically, then specify the same in the Eclipse settings.

Step 8. Download the ADT (Android Development Tools) plugin. 

Step 9. Add ADT Plugin in the Eclipse. For adding:

i.               In case of Indigo(Eclipse) go to Workspace and Software Centre and then choose, Software Tab and add plugin.
ii.              In case of Helios(Eclipse), add the ADT Plugin through HELP and install new software.

Note: In most of the cases, the Step 10 can be excluded, because step 9 will add all the details.

Step 10: Add Android SDK into Eclipse. In order to do the same, we need to go to the Preferences and Select Android from Left hand tree and give the path of the Android SDK.

Step 11: After we are done with the above steps, we need to establish AVD : Android Virtual Device. This can be done from Window à AVD Manager and create a new.

I hope this will help every one in setting up the environment to work with Android.

MAX pool size reached in ASP.NET

If you are handling large databases and big application(s) that are running on servers in a cluster, then probably this error might have occurred. In an ASP.NET app, we can use connection pooling that helps to share the connection between multiple request(s) rather than creating more connections. The settings relating to connection pool are defined in web.config file. Max pool size reached error in ASP.NET occurs, when the number of connections go beyond the maximum defined limit in Web.config file. Following are the various settings of the Connection Pooling: Name Default Description Connection Lifetime 0 When a connection is returned to the pool, its creation time is compared with the current time, and the connection is destroyed if that time span (in seconds) exceeds the value specified by  Connection Lifetime . This is useful in clustered configurations to force load balancing between a runnin...
