[SOLVED] Use github repository under windows with tortoisegit

• install tortoisegit http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ (choose putty plink ssh integration - not openssh)


• download "putty key generator" and "pageant" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

Generate public and private ssh keys:

Just open "putty key generator" and generate (1) your key by moving your mouse on the surface.
Than wite some comment(2) and secure it with random passphrase (3).
Than save public and private key part on your file system.

Copy ssh-rsa key from "Public key for parsing into OpenSSH authorised_keys file:"- text field (you will need it for the next step)



Adding the key to your GitHub account:

Use this  tutorial http://help.github.com/msysgit-key-setup/

Use Pageant for auto authorisation:

If you dont want to put every time your ssh key password use Pageant. Just start it and add your private key



Get GitHub repository url:

Goto to desired project and copy git url from it:
For example: on http://github.com/stuttgart-gtug/help-me it will be "git@github.com:stuttgart-gtug/help-me.git"



Clone aka "Check Out" the repository:

Now create a folder on your PC and hit right mouse button on it - choose "Git Clone..."



In next dialog put the URL of git repository and choose path to your private github key you generated before.



Now push "OK" and enjoy the ride



Voilà ;)

install app to sd card in 2.2 (froyo)

-Go here
--http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and get the SDK for your OS
-Once you download it, unzip it to its own folder, I put it off C:\
-Run the SDK Setup.exe
-Click available Packages, on left, I didn't know what was needed so I installed -EVERYTHING. Although I do suspect that we only need the USB driver, which is at the very bottom.
It will take forever to install.
After it's done installing, I Clicked on Installed Packages, and updated all.

Not done yet.
check that the phone is set up to allow debugging via USB (Settings⇒Applications⇒Development⇒USB debugging)
Plug in your phone
Windows will fail to install the driver.
Go in device manager and and update the newly Yellowed entry, the driver is in:
C:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
The driver should install

Start console: "Start"->"Run"->cmd->ENTER

> adb devices

if you see a serial number starting with an "H" that means you got things working, now do the following:

> adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

This command will push ALL apps to your sd card, to revert back to saving apps to internal memory enter in:

> adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

[SOLVED]Market Slowness and Accessibility on cyanogenmod's CM6 RC1

After upgrading to the latest Cyanogen I notices, that the Android Market is quiet slow and does not show my downloaded apps in the download section. 2 Fixes to repair this:

1) Take the following source and save in file named vending_preferences.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<boolean name="local_db_sync_required" value="false" />
<int name="SERVER_VERSION" value="1000" />
<string name="vending_tos_version">1.0.0</string>
<long name="MARKET_LAST_HEARTBEAT_TIMESTAMP" value="1271657433127" />
<long name="last_sync_time" value="1271659724720" />
<long name="last_tickle_id" value="1271657514775" />
<int name="reconciled_version" value="1710" />
<boolean name="metadata_paid_apps_enabled" value="true" />
<string name="vending_backup_state">vending</string>
<string name="vending_tos_version">1.0.0</string>
</map>

Now push to /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/vending_preferences.xml :

adb push vending_preferences.xml /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/vending_preferences.xml

Next you do in a terminal window (device or via adb shell):

su
cd /data/data/com.android.vending/cache
rm *
reboot

[SOLVED]How customize/extend/ Spinner

You will need to take control over what goes into the ListView and
Spinner. I have not experimented with these techniques on Spinner, but
on ListView, you will need to override getView() (on ArrayAdapter) or
newView() and bindView() (on CursorAdapter).
Here is a free excerpt from one of my books that demonstrates the technique:

http://commonsware.com/Android/excerpt.pdf

In your case, you would use your Typeface object to update the font used
by the TextView widgets in your rows.

In principle, you could do this via a wrapping adapter -- this would be
more reusable but a bit slower. I have an AdapterWrapper base class here:

http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-adapter

and some projects that use it here:

http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-endless
http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-thumbnail

You also need to override getDropDownView().

[SOLVED] Set right permissions for svn repository

Additionally you should set umask 002 while working with a repository so that all new files will be writable by owner and group. This is made mandatory by creating a wrapper script for svn and svnserve:

mv /usr/bin/svn /usr/bin/svn.orig &&
mv /usr/bin/svnserve /usr/bin/svnserve.orig &&
cat >> /usr/bin/svn << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
umask 002
/usr/bin/svn.orig "$@"
EOF
cat >> /usr/bin/svnserve << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
umask 002
/usr/bin/svnserve.orig "$@"
EOF
chmod 0755 /usr/bin/svn{,serve}

[SOLVED] Fix default protocol (http...) association in WIndows

Setting default browser manually

You can manually set the default browser by selecting it as the the default program for individual file types and protocols, as follows:

• Windows XP and earlier: Open the Control Panel from the Windows Start menu.
  
  
  
  • In Windows 2000 and earlier, or if Windows XP is using the Control Panel "Classic View": Click on "Folder Options -> File Types".
  
  
  • In Windows XP, if using the Control Panel "Category View": Click on "Performance and Maintenance". Then, click on "File Types" in the left column under the heading "See Also".
  
  
  
  


• Windows 7 and Vista: Click the Start button, open "Default Programs" and then click "Associate a file type or protocol with a program". For detailed instructions, see the Microsoft article here for Vista or here for Windows 7. Note: On Windows Vista (or above), you may be unable to associate the HTTP HTTPS or FTP protocols with SeaMonkey because it does not appear as an available option. See this forum topic for additional information.

Assign the following protocols and file types to the browser you wish to set as default:

• URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP protocol)


• URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy (HTTPS protocol)


• URL:File Transfer Protocol {FTP protocol)


• HTML File


• HTM File (optional)

In Windows XP and earlier, you can find the URL protocols listed above in File Types, under extension "N/A" or "(NONE)".

[SOLVED] Android: Set Admob programmatically into test mode

(6) When integrating AdMob ads into your application it is recommended to use test mode. In test mode test, ads are always returned.

Test mode is enabled on a per-device basis. To enable test mode for a device, first request an ad, then look in LogCat for a line like the following:

  To get test ads on the emulator use AdManager.setTestDevices...

Once you have the device ID you can enable test mode by calling AdManager.setTestDevices:

  AdManager.setTestDevices( new String[] {                 
     AdManager.TEST_EMULATOR,             // Android emulator
     "E83D20734F72FB3108F104ABC0FFC738",  // My T-Mobile G1 Test Phone
