   I've tried it for a simple project and it worked flawlessly. The new build system is quite well developed at this point, so most developers should be able to get their app building on it. It's not 100% complete or 100% bug-free ye

   While I agree with the other points, the JVM can cope with a lot more than "5 or 10 threads".

   I've used both phones extensively, the Nexus for 2 weeks and the One for over a month. The One is the better phone, no doubt, but the Nexus is best for the price. The One has a much better radio, especially for bluetooth. It's a l

    They didn't take it out of the treasury, on a technicality: The room the machine was in was declared a bank vault, and 99.9% of the silver was recoverable, so it never really left!

    Pizza Hut UK are a good example of this. They have a vouchers page on their website which (obviously) ranks very highly for "Pizza Hut vouchers". It isn't reachable from any page on their site (that I know of), but it means a

    +1 to your performance advice - my x86 images (both through 'emulator' and Genymotion) are actually faster than a real phone. For performance testing I recommend using a Galaxy Ace (actually using - install some apps, fill it up w

    Exactly - if all the vehicles involved in that accident were like the poster's there would have been some serious injuries. You want your car to crumple like a paper plate in an accident - if it doesn't, you will!

    It's saddening that so much of the thread is spent dwelling on this issue. I'd love to hear your take on the actual crypto at play here, if you have time for a critique?

    Small correction, the support library which has ActionBarCompat only goes back to 2.1 (each version has a number representing the API version it supports, in this case v7)

    The other part of the problem with security updates on Android, IMO, is that they aren't typically back-ported - so if your phone can't do Android 4, you're stuck with the security flaws in 2.3 (including this new flaw) forev

    When I "come out" to people I get this reaction a lot - people are genuinely surprised that a happy person can be depressed.
