What are situation puzzles?
Situation puzzles are often referred to as lateral thinking puzzles or “yes/no” puzzles.
Situation puzzles are usually played in a group, with one person hosting the puzzle and the others asking questions which can only be answered with a “yes” or “no” answer. Depending upon the settings and level of difficulty, other answers, hints or simple explanations of why the answer is yes or no, may be considered acceptable. The puzzle is solved when one of the players is able to recite the narrative the host had in mind, in particular explaining whatever aspect of the initial scenario was puzzling.

These puzzles are inexact and many puzzle statements have more than one possible fitting answer.

Admob with padding

Aug 26th

Posted by Sebastian in Android development

I just added AdMob to my Android app DRoute and it doesn’t work. I receive many calls to onFailedToReceiveAd event function

  1. @Override
  2.         public void onFailedToReceiveAd(AdView adView)
  3.         {
  4.                 Log.d("DRoute", "onFailedToReceiveAd");
  5.                 super.onFailedToReceiveAd(adView);
  6.         }

I dig into the problem, search on the internet and didn’t found a solution. This morning I’ve created step by step a fresh new app only to test AdMob publisher code and ID and it works fine on emulator with :

  1. AdManager.setTestDevices(new String[] {AdManager.TEST_EMULATOR});

After step by step testing I found out that the problem was with a padding value that I have in my surrounding

ScrollView and fillViewport

Aug 16th

Posted by Sebastian in Android development

Romain Guy write a little info about a ScrollView attribute that is missing  from documentation : android:fillViewport=”true” .

It must be set to ScrollView and has the following efect : when set to true, this attribute causes the scroll view’s child to expand to the height of the ScrollView if needed. When the child is taller than the ScrollView, the attribute has no effect.

Install/Move to sd card on Froyo

Aug 5th

Posted by Sebastian in Android development

On Froyo ( Android 2.2 ) the user have the option to move / install applications to sd card. This is good due to lack of space on phone memory.

To enable this option at application level the developer should do some simple modifications.

  1. Open manifest file ( AndroidManifest.xml ).
  2. Add android:installLocation=”auto” as attributes to your root manifest element. Here you have 3 options :
    • internalOnly: Install the application on internal storage only. This will result in storage errors if the device runs low on internal storage.
    • preferExternal: The android system tries to install the application on external storage. If that is full, the application is installed on internal storage.
    • auto: Let the Android system decide the best install location for the application. The default system policy is to install the application on internal storage first. If the system is running low on storage, the application is then installed on external storage.
  3. Change Project Build Target to Android 2.2
  4. Keep android:minSdkVersion as low as you want. This new option will be available only on devices running Froyo (2.2)
