We get that question a lot. The answer is no. There is always a manual confirmation step. The user must agree on both his laptop and phone and check if the unique photo matches. Edit. Auto correct typo

When I saw the title I half expected to be something akin to http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/famous-small-offthegrid-work... My comments are entirely related to staying focused when coding. For the days when I am in manager mode things ar

Very happy to see the Bump 3.0 on there (I worked on it). ICS and all of it's native apps were a great statement by Google to show how they'd like their apps to look and feel. We followed their queue and used the action bar and view pager t

My understanding is that all you need to do is make sure your app is signed by your market key and it's version code is lower than the update you'd release on the market next and those people will get a proper update from the market. This r

We decided to upload when only when we had logs right when the user backgrounded the app. This way we don't fire a new connection just for logs.

At Bump we use Scala for our the service layer of the application that manages connectivity to our servers and deals with our "business logic". It's a great language when you are within it's rules, and a great way to do succinct state manag

I didn't mention it in the article, but I did Android programming before I did iOS. I was doing Android programming before the iPhone SDK came out in 2008. When the iOS SDK came out, I moved to the platform that had real users and phones. A

With Bump 2.0 we decided to throw out 1.x. We are only supporting Android 2.0 and up, 1.x is small enough that it doesn't matter for us anymore. This way we can focus on making the app that works better with a smaller number of differences

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind if/when I get to deeper Honeycomb development. As for the emulator, Android is notorious for it's terribly slow emulators. I've basically stopped using them and only use actual hardware to test on. The em

Sure. One of the things that we do in the iPhone app is to open each of our media screens as modals, then when you bump we slide in the chat screen that shows the data that was transferred. Modals mean slightly different things in Android f

I haven't researched Honeycomb in detail, but current apps work just fine on Honeycomb as long as you say in your manifest that you support large screens. Bump for example, works just fine on the Xoom without any custom work (obviously we h

I actually don't think it's faster or slower to develop on one platform vs. another. The speed of releases you might see from companies probably has more to do with their release cycles and resources they devote to it. Also a lot of Android

I actually really meant this from a UI perspective where the _screens_ from different applications can flow back and forth between each other. But data is an equally important point to bring up.

I am the author of the article. What aspects do you think I missed that you'd like to know more about? My first draft was much longer with a lot more details but I was worried about a writing a book instead of an essay :-)

This is the future of mobile apps. As someone with iPhone dev fatigue, looking at this on my iPhone is incredibly exciting. This seems runs just as well on my iPhone, except for the fact I can't do anything (missing arrow keys and control k

I do agree here. As I mentioned the first version of the class was both security and programming. The projects were intermingled giving students A great overview. Unfortunately in the 10 weeks of the quarter it's hard to cover both in great

Ever since I read Jason Santa Maria's article on his "rethinking" ( http://jasonsantamaria.com/articles/a-new-day/ ) I've been thinking about doing something similar with my personal site, where the frequency of posts has reduced over time.

I was under the impression that Apple stopped doing this last year. Release dates are fixed to essentially the date you set or the day the app get's approved, whichever comes first. I haven't seen them to be any different for a while. It ma
