Android Tip - Resolving Build Issues in ADT v22

For those of you who have recently upgraded to the latest version of the Eclipse ADT Plugin (v22), you will realise that some of your projects may be failing to build correctly, specifically those of you who use the Android Support Library. 

In ADT v22, the Android Support Library is now in the Android Private Libraries section:

The problem is that ADT v22 does not automatically include the libraries in the Android Private Libraries for compilation. And this will cause your project's failure to build correctly. 

To solve this, right-click on the project in Eclipse and select Properties. Select Java Build Path and click on the Order and Export tab. Check the Android Private Libraries and click OK. Clean your project and it should now work.

Another Android app developed by my Android Course participant published on the Android Market!

Here is another Android App developed by one of my course participants at the Fort Gordon's first Android class. Awesome!

CacheNav is a GPS application that will track your current location as well as plot a point in one of five different coordinate formats (Degrees/Minutes/Seconds, Degrees/Decimal Minutes, Decimal Degrees, UTM, and MGRS). Once you have plotted a point, the distance to your plotted destination is displayed (in meters) at the bottom of the screen. In addition, there are also two map views: Satellite View and Street View.

If you are low on space, this app also has the ability to be stored on an SD Card.

This app is perfect for Geocaching or Land Navigation. Buy it here!

Using your Borders Gift Card (Singapore) to offset against my courses

Recently, it was reported in the Singapore papers that due to the closure of Borders at Wheelock place, customers could no longer use its previously issued gift cards to make purchases at other branches. While this is a very disappointing news to a lot of customers, I have decided to follow the spirit of German Airline Lufthansa, who has very generously offered to let customers offset their air tickets value using their existing gift card.

As a book lover myself, I visit book stores regularly, especially Borders. I had been going there since I was a student, and had many fond memories. The smell and feel of books, and the aroma of coffee that fills the store has become a part of many peoples' lives.

Hence, I would like to offer existing Borders gift card holders to offset the fees for my courses using their existing Borders gift card. Every customer can offset a maximum of S$50 for any courses that they sign up. At this moment, here are the courses scheduled to run in Sep and Oct 2011:

September 2011

* 12 Sep 2011 - Objective-C Programming - S$499

* 13-14 Sep 2011 - Foundation of iPhone Programming - S$997

* 15-16 Sep 2011 - Advanced iOS Programming - S$997

* 19-20 Sep 2011 - Android Programming - S$997

October 2011

* 3 Oct 2011 - Objective-C Programming - S$499

* 4-5 Oct 2011 - Foundation of iPhone Programming - S$997

Details

* All courses will be held at Mountbatten Square, Singapore.

* Attendees have to bring their own notebook computers

* Training time: 9am to 5pm.
