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.

How to use QueryExtenderControl in ASP.NET with LINQ

Queryextender control is a control that helps in doing actions like filtration, searching, sorting etc. on the LINQ Data source with few steps. In fact we don’t have to write any code with this. Screenshot given below is just an example that can easily be achieved through this control. In the above screenshot, we can see that there is a GridView Control that has been binded to a LINQData Source Control. And we have a DropDownlistBox that is also binded to another LINQData Source Control and displaying only grouped jobs. The GridView display all the employees who are matching the Job Parameter. This is done through QueryExtender Control. Also we can search for any name in the employee name's through Query Extender control. The code in the HTML goes like: < form id ="form1" runat ="server">     < div >         Select Job: < asp : DropDownList ID ="Job" runat ="server" DataSourceID ="LinqDataSource2...

Using GUID or UniqueIdentifiers in SQL Server

In order to differentiate between two rows, we normally use primary keys or identity values which may be same across two tables. In order to overcome this problem we can use a special type named "GUID" . Its a hexadecimal number (Base 16) and the advantage is  that they are unique across all databases and tables.  In SQL Server the same concept is implemented through UNIQUEIDENTIFIER  data type. In order to generate a new value, we use the NEWID() function. For e.g.  a. Creating a table that uses the UNIQUEIDENTIFIER datatype Create table Test ( Empno uniqueidentifier, Ename varchar(20) ) b. Inserting rows in the tables with the use of NEWID() function insert into Test values (newId(),'ABC') insert into Test values (newid(),'XYZ') insert into test values (newid(),'MNO') c. Selecting the rows from the table. Select * from test  Empno                             ...

How to Delete Record through Knex.

This post is all about of deleting records through KNEX ORM in Nodejs. The following code shows how to achieve this: knex("depts").where("deptno","50").del() .then(function (count) {     console.log(count); }) .finally(function () {     knex.destroy(); }); The above code deletes a record from a table "Depts" where Deptno = 50. It has a "then" Promise attached that will show how many records were deleted with this command. Also "finally" is the method that will always execute and will close the KNEX connection. Happy Coding !!!
