Using the Android SDK manager in Eclipse, I updated my installation with Android SDK 24.0.2. Upon restart, a message warned that the SDK requires the next iteration of the Android ADT plugin. Installing new software through the Help option will not work unless you first uninstall the current ADT plugin through Help > About Eclipse > Installation details. See the screen shot below.

Widespread Augmented Reality uses disposable anonymous handles stored in your head and messages embedded in image files.
If using an image button with a custom background, then the usual touch animation is lost. In order to affect an animation upon touch or click, I created one custom_background.xml that references two backgrounds: a touched background and a default background.
Default background XML in drawable folder (rect_drawable.xml):
Touched background XML in drawable folder (rect_drawable2.xml):
This is the background referenced on each button (custom_back.xml):
The image button's XML would look like this:
function compress_image($orig_url, $new_url, $quality) {
$info = getimagesize($orig_url);
if ($info['mime'] == 'image/jpeg')
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($orig_url);
elseif ($info['mime'] == 'image/gif')
$image = imagecreatefromgif($orig_url);
elseif ($info['mime'] == 'image/png')
$image = imagecreatefrompng($orig_url);
imagejpeg($image, $new_url, $quality);
return $new_url;
}

$result = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

$name = substr($url2, 29);
$url4 = "myNewImageFolder/".$name;

Apparently, the subscription HTML cannot pass all the custom fields to the confirmation emails. One can use item-name and Invoice Number to hold user entered text; however, the invoice number must be unique and there will be problems if it is not.
See the PayPal documentation
I produced a classic PayPal button with a drop down menu for pricing options. All my tests took me to PayPal.
My end user reported receiving "Problems with seller's site".
I created a new button and unchecked the hosted at PayPal option in step 2.
The problem seem to be solved, but I needed to know why both buttons worked for me and not the end user.
I found that recreating the button as not hosted at PayPal was not the correct solution.
The correct solution was to remove the special characters in one of the menu options, which read "Individual (Ltd. Qty).".
Lesson: do not use special characters in the labels for any pricing option.
In order to create a test PayPal "Buy Now" button, follow these steps.

I suppose I can make a cURL or a Python script to do all this.
This site at finance.avafin.com would be a good feed into my market analysis app at Google Play
I'll get working on it. For now, maybe I'll just create a webview to make things simple.
Meanwhile, here is a link to all my financial apps at Google Play.

I maintain a database of geotagged images at SpiderOnFire. The companion Kit Kat targeted app at Google Play retrieves the images but does not resize them. Rather I have the PHP download script do the work. Here is my code:
array('header'=>'Connection: close\r\n'))); $orig = file_get_contents("$dirfile",false, $context ); $imgstr = imagecreatefromstring($orig); $width = imagesx($imgstr); $height = imagesy($imgstr); $newwidth = '75'; $newheight = '50'; $thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth, $newheight); imagecopyresized($thumb, $imgstr, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height); header("Content-Type: image/jpg"); imagejpeg($thumb); //image as jpg imagedestroy($thumb); imagedestroy($imgstr); ?>
This article is a keeper: Salted Password Hashing.
Side note: My own mobile web app is secure in so far as the hashed password only validates the anonymous and disposable handle or user ID, nothing else. This allows a member to delete their handle and recreate it with a different password as needed. Moreover, the arbitrary handle is not linked to any e-mail or other vitally important personal data.
I designed, coded and published using the following tools installed on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet 2.0 with a 7 inch screen.

I have a dual boot Acer Aspire One Netbook with Eclipse running on the Windows partition.
Now I want to try Android Studio on the Ubuntu Linux partition.
Here are the steps involved.
In a terminal window switch to root with "sudo su". Then type: "export JAVA_HOME=usr/lib/jvm/java-openjdk-i386.
Navigate to the directory android-studio/bin and type "./studio.sh"
Repaired a Toshiba Satellite that was blocked by ransomware.
Symptoms:The best solution would be wiping the drive and installing Linux.
What do you all make of this? The device was a nuclear-pfdq88c.
----- pid 5085 at 2013-12-01 11:05:36 -----I am using this Android app to create a keystore, run, debug, compile, zip align and publish.
This is a follow up to the previous post.
The absence or corruption of the Cyanogenmod development.apk meant no USB debugging for a connection to the Android SDK on my Aspire One netbook.
Solution: I found an app that mimics the Developer Tools at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.westhill.development&feature=also_installed.
All this prompted me to recompile the following Augmented Reality social networking app with a target of 19 a.k.a. Kit Kat.
