We have got into minor issues with Honeycomb - the new selection/copy/paste in the text areas took our app by surprise. The other thing was TAB key events that don't get fired from the Honeycomb keyboard even if tab is inserted to the text

Google has put quite an effort into documenting how to take care of multiple screen sizes - check http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support... I am not sure how it helps to game developers but it is pretty concise guide

Just two ideas off the cuff: - have your methods and variables put into "categories". Then you could quickly choose category and you would be presented with limited choice in the category - code snippets - templated pieces of code (control

I am visual programming skeptic (or better said pragmatic). I've seen quite a few visual environments where at the end of the day (once you've learned the language) it was faster to switch to text mode. Visual programming was great for lear

It has some nice UI ideas - I particularly like the idea of calculator-like editor. Environments with limited text input ability get significant advantage from staticaly (or at least strong) typed languages - code autocomplete is really kil

This is our quick demo inspired by "share the air pitch" video. Done in 2 days, built on Google Appengine, Java and Stripes framework (excellent lightweight Java web framework). Very simple app just lets you point your location on map and w

That exactly captures the idea. And to make this process even easier I've just been testing experimental implementation of FTP client in touchqode. The new version will be probably coming within a week. And we have some more things up our s

The video is from quite early version. Actually autocomplete (or code suggestion - I tend to use the terms interchangeably) is briefly visible when typing the name of method sayHello(). If you want to some more features in action you can ch

I have been using touchqode for few months already (since I am developing it) and I have found it really useful - often just to get reminded some old code, browse project source from the couch on the galaxy tab, or start implementing some s

I think what could be taken from article is: write simple code. However it does not entitle you to write sloppy code. Often naive algorithms and shortcut solutions work great. But make them so that when you actually need to replace them you

Nice story. However it takes place at much lower altitude (around 6000m). Trango is great climbing area with demanding climbs but it is entirely different category than Everest. It is not saying that one can not succeed in saving someones l

I am just a recreational climber but my motivation is a mix of overcoming myself and enjoying beauty of nature. The challenge in climbing is very real (not that dissimilar to startup) - you have to plan ahead, check conditions, execute well

Articles like this are very suggestive - of course while in the warm, in front of the computer everyone would try to rescue the poor climbers. However add difficult terrain, height, snow, fatigue and race with the clock and you have wholly

Yes we are definitely planning to look into more options of how to get your source files to your phone - FTP and CVS/SVN among them. At this moment we suggest you synchronize your source files with your development computer using dropbox. T

Not sure if you want to join some OS project or you are just curious about current android scene. Anyway I will use this for a bit of self promotion though - we have just released public alpha version of source code editor on android - htt
