Neil Smyth - Computers - 2017 -800 pages

Fully updated for Android Studio 3.0 and Android 8, the goal of this book is to teach the skills necessary to develop Android based applications using the Android Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the Android 8 Software Development Kit (SDK) and the Java programming language. Beginning with the basics, this book provides an outline of the steps necessary to set up an Android development and testing environment. An overview of Android Studio is included covering areas such as tool windows, the code editor and the Layout Editor tool. An introduction to the architecture of Android is followed by an in-depth look at the design of Android applications and user interfaces using the Android Studio environment. More advanced topics such as database management, content providers and intents are also covered, as are touch screen handling, gesture recognition, camera access and the playback and recording of both video and audio. This edition of the book also covers printing, transitions and cloud-based file storage. The concepts of material design are also covered in detail, including the use of floating action buttons, Snackbars, tabbed interfaces, card views, navigation drawers and collapsing toolbars. In addition to covering general Android development techniques, the book also includes Google Play specific topics such as implementing maps using the Google Maps Android API, and submitting apps to the Google Play Developer Console. Other key features of Android Studio 3 and Android 8 are also covered in detail including the Layout Editor, the ConstraintLayout and ConstraintSet classes, constraint chains and barriers, direct reply notifications and multi-window support. Chapters also cover advanced features of Android Studio such as App Links, Instant Apps, the Android Studio Profiler and Gradle build configuration. Assuming you already have some Java programming experience, are ready to download Android Studio and the Android SDK, have access to a Windows, Mac or Linux system and ideas for some apps to develop, you are ready to get started

You're so good to me

You're So Good To Me

Well that's the end of the story. But before we go, why don't we sing just one more song.

Jesus, my Lord, I love You
Jesus, You're all I need
Jesus, I'll tell the world
Oh my God, You're so good to me

Jesus, my Lord, I love You
Jesus, You're all I need
Jesus, I'll tell the world
Oh my God, You're so good to me

Through sunshine and rain
Your love stays the same
From now 'til the end
You'll be my best friend

Jesus, my Lord, I love You
Jesus, You're all I need
Jesus, I'll tell the world
Oh my God, You're so good to me

Jesus, my Lord, I love You
Jesus, You're all I need
Jesus, I'll tell the world
Oh my God, You're so good to me

Through sunshine and rain
Your love stays the same
Oh my God, You're so good to me

Noah

Noah

Well we've been singin' a lot of songs. Now it's time for a story. Let's see, I think I'm going to tell you the one all about a man named Noah.

Way back when, before the hills got dusty 
Old Noah started choppin' trees
He got a great big plan from the Good Designer
For a zoo that could sail the seas 

Clouds are risin'
Thunder and lightnin'
But the door is open wide

Well, Noah had done a lot of stuff
But he'd never been a sailor on a floatin' menagerie
He was willing to try though, 'cause it was do or die
And because he did, well there's you and me

Sun has risen
Time to get ready
All aboard now
Climb inside

Clouds are risin'
Thunder and lightnin'
But the door is open wide
Sun has risen
Time to get ready
All aboard now
Climb inside

Well Noah was a righteous man
Livin' in a world gone wrong
God looked down and saw the mess
And he had to confess

I'm sorry for creating these
Who only live for what they please
So I will begin again I guess

Clouds are risin'
Thunder and lightnin'
But the door is open wide
Sun has risen
Time to get ready
All aboard now
Climb inside

When no one would heed the cry
"Get aboard the boat or you will die!"
God told Noah what to do
Bring animals two by two

Before the rains came rollin' down
The animals came from all around
Aardvarks, platypus, squirrels and kangaroos

Well then they came as the skies grew stormy
A boy and a girl of each
But only eight were human
'Cause Noah and his family 
Why, they were the only ones God could reach

They finished coverin' the boat with a coat of tar
To make sure that it wouldn't leak
Then as they climbed inside
God looked around and cried big drops of rain
So to speak

Clouds are risin'
Thunder and lightnin'
But the door is open wide
Sun has risen
Time to get ready
All aboard now
Climb inside

As the rain came tumblin' down
Everything around was drowned
And though it was a bumpy ride
It sure was dry inside
After forty nights of rain
Water covered everything
It rained so hard it took the year to dry

And if you think this is the end of the story
I'll tell you the best is yet to come
Cause as the boat came to rest and the doors flew off
There was a big surprise waitin' there for everyone
As they looked into the sky
They saw the prettiest colors
And seein' it was so much fun
'Cause far as you could see
They were a hundred percent free
And a whole new world had just begun

Rainbow, rainbow bright with color
Shines a promise through the sky
Spreading sunshine all around us
No more darkness, no more night

Rainbow, rainbow bright with color
Shines a promise through the sky
Spreading sunshine all around us
No more darkness, no more night

Rainbow, rainbow bright with color
Shines a promise through the sky
Spreading sunshine all around us
No more darkness, no more night

Oh, oh, oh
Rainbow, rainbow bright with color
Shines a promise through the sky
Spreading sunshine all around us
No more darkness, no more night

Bullfrogs & Butterflies

Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again
Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again

Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again
Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again

Ol' tadpole in a fishin' hole
He couldn't croak or jump to save his soul
But then one day
It's the funniest thing
Why he started growin'
Turnin' green
Yes, he jumped up on a lily pad
And he was croakin' out a song, gave it all he had

Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again
Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again

Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again
Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again

A little caterpillar on a blade of grass
She noticin' the days going by so fast
She's a lovely little lady
She's looking for a room
She's weavin' and spinnin' out a fine cocoon
Why it didn't take long 'til she saw the sky
Spread your wings you butterfly

She's singin'
Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both both been born again
Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again

Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both both been born again
Bullfrogs and butterflies
We've both been born again
We've both been born again
We've both been born again

Practice makes perfect

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect
I guess if I practice then better I'll be
Oh!

Teacher says practice each day my piano
And maybe a concert pianist I'll be
Play my scales daily and I'll be an expert
With no more mistakes I will master the keys

Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect
I guess if I practice then better I'll be
Oh!

Mommy says practice will make all things perfect
And perfect is always the best you can be
If I practice love like I practice piano
I'll make others happy and better I'll be

Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect
I guess if I practice then better I'll be

My hands belong to you

My Hands Belong To You

Do you know the trees praise God? And so do the animals. And you can, too, by singing this song.

My hands belong to You, Lord
My hands belong to You
I lift them up to You, Lord
And sing Hallelujah
I lift them up to You, Lord
And sing Hallelu

My voice belongs to You, Lord
My voice belongs to You
I lift it up to You, Lord
And sing Hallelujah
I lift it up to You, Lord
And sing Hallelu

My heart belongs to You, Lord
My heart belongs to You
I lift it up to You, Lord 
And sing Hallelujah
I lift it up to You, Lord
And sing Hallelu

I like knowing God the best

I Like Knowing God The Best

Riding bikes
Jumping rope
Blowing bubbles out of soap
Playing ball
But most of all
I like knowing God the best
I like knowing God the best

Having friends
And games to play
Helping Mama everyday
My kitty-cat
But more than that
I like knowing God the best
I like knowing God the best

Knowing God's the best thing anyone could ever do
And to me these things
Are so much fun
But God's number one

The corner store
My new skate board
Finger painting on the floor
The slides and swings
Are all fun things
But I like knowing God the best
I like knowing God the best

Knowing God's the best thing anyone could ever do
And to me these things
Are so much fun
But God's number one

Do do do 
do do do do
do do do do
do do do
do do do do
do do do do
I like knowing God the best
I like knowing God the best
I like knowing God the best

Rainy day song

Rainy Day Song

It's been a beautiful day
The blessed rain of God has fallen
Happy-go-lucky and come what may
'Cause I've got a different kind of sun

Sunshine, sunshine
I've got a different kind of sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
I've got a different kind of sun

It's been a beautiful day
Walkin' in sunshine all the way
The rain spread blessing here and there
My feet may be muddy, but I'm goin' somewhere

Sunshine, sunshine
I've got a different kind of sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
I've got a different kind of sun

This is the day

This Is The Day

This is the day that the Lord has made
Not like tomorrow or yesterday
He made today in a special way
So let's all sing and be glad

This is the day that the Lord has made
Not like tomorrow or yesterday
He made today in a special way
So let's all sing and be glad

Do you know that this song was taken from the Bible? And in the Bible it says, "This is the day that the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." And you know, that just means that we should be happy today because Jesus knows exactly what's going on and he has his eye on all of his children. And you know, that means you. That's a good reason to be glad. Don't you think? Well, as we sing it again, you sing along with us and think of how good it is of God to make a day like today for all of us. Here we go. 

This is the day that the Lord has made
Not like tomorrow or yesterday
He made today in a special way
So let's all sing and be glad

This is the day that the Lord has made
Not like tomorrow or yesterday
He made today in a special way
So let's all sing and be glad

Review no. 5

This post is a review of 2 apps on the play store that work together, they both link to AndroidCreator.com.

Android App Creator by RathoreHomi Developers and androidcreator by Digitalindia Technology Pvt Ltd.
So far as I'm aware androidcreator  was made on the AndroidCreator website, Android App Creator is made by the people who run AndroidCreator.com.

So instead of reviewing the apps which are just so-so, nothing particularly wrong but they aren't amazing we'll review the website.

I would definitely say this has a lot of potential but not in the same way as Sketchware, Android Creator have done a great job, going as far as no coding required.

Once I have used their site a bit more I will add to this review.

The Peter Rabbit Movie

OK let's boycott the Peter Rabbit Movie in New Zealand. This article on Stuff shows why it's not acceptable, seriously mocking someone with an allergy is just not what you do and certainly doesn't give any honour or credit to Beatrix Potter who I'm quite certain would disagree with more things than that in the movie like when Mrs. Tiggy Winkle bites the electric fence, I'm sure that would upset more children than the allergy issues...

Here's Our Second Official Release

Agapeland ver. 1.0 official release download here

Based on the album by Candle released in 1975, we thought the whole album was amazing so decided to design an app around it.

The app is quite large weighing in at just over 43 MBS,  this could be nearly halved if our users don't want the play all function.

About the music: Agapeland is an album by multiple Dove Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated music group Candle. Most of the music on this album was written by Jim and Dee Patton and produced and arranged by Jim Patton. Jim and Dee conceptualized the album and wrote the dialogue. Jim Kuiper narrated, Frank Hernandez played bass, Kathy Salerno played pianos, Steve Shubin played drums, and Jim Patton played guitars. It was recorded in 1974 and originally released in February, 1975 on Indie label Candle Company Music, (a division of Agape Force), then later released on Word Records (Word 1000 RS33134). This is the first Agapeland album. Some songs were re-recorded with Barry Maguire (performing with Candle) for the 1978 Birdwing Records release, Bullfrogs and Butterflies.

It features the following vocalists: Dennis Britton, Frank Hernandez, Dee Patton, Jim Patton, Sherry Saunders, Steve Shubin, and Ane Warner. Cover art is by Jim Kuiper.

Track listing

"Everyday's A New Day" (Jim & Dee Patton)

"This Is the Day" (Dee Patton & Jim Patton)

"Rainy Day Song" (Andy Davis)

"It's A Happy Day" (Barry McGuire / Gary Pfeiffer)

"At the End Of the Day" (Jim & Dee Patton)

Change for the Better, a review on AIDE by appfour and switch to Vodafone

We've been busy today, for those who have already visited you might have noticed we've got a new look different colours, different font, different layout.

When we have more internet available to us we hope to trial apps like the pro version of: AIDE - IDE for Android Java C++ ,designed by appfour, they have a number of very useful apps.

Speaking of internet we highly suggest to anyone shopping mobile providers that they try Vodafone - we've had nothing but helpfulness and value from them we use the mates prepay plan and when we run out of data in our plan their casual rate is amazing at $1 for 25 MB although casual texts are 20¢ and casual calls are 49¢.
We'll probably end up going with $60 a month for 10 GB data unlimited talk and text to New Zealand and Australia.

We have used 2 degrees a little bit but much prefer Vodafone, (sorry 2 degrees, but data is too expensive if not brought with data clock). Their casual rate for data is 50¢ a MB which is a biggie for us as we pretty much only use data, although if you live in good 2 degrees reception you can buy unlimited data for 7 days for $30...
Enough tearing down mobile companies I'm sure if my phone was made by 2 degrees I'd feel a lot better about them.

Here's Our Brand New App Check Out the Demo and give us a like and subscribe

Download from Drive

We had lots of fun developing this and learning about strings and numbers please let us know of any bugs and we'll update as soon as possible.

100 requests for the same colour UI change will get a limited edition app of that colour.
