I like to dabble in android development from time to time. I've got a few applications published on the Play Store. Please check it out if you have a few minutes :)

Android App - Would You Rather Kids - Update #1

Image
I released my first proper application to the Play Store on November 2017. It's called "Would You Rather Kids Free".  It's a really simple game that took about to week to develop (1-2 hours dev day). To me, this was a really great achievement. The game idea itself was quite a common idea, so there was nothing really special about it. However, what it was to me, was a great learning experience on Firebase integration and general Android UI functionality. Firebase is awesome! It's google's mobile platform that provides additional tools to be used for ones application. The best one of all is an online realtime database. Did I mention that firebase is free? There are various premium packages with premium contention. However Firebase does have a free package with basic features, which is all one needs to start out. 4 months after the release of my app, it somehow has quite a few downloads! 4500 total downloads with 1275 active installs. This blows my m...

Integrating Code Syntax on a Blog or Website.

Image
As a developer, one is used to seeing code snippets formatted in a specific way. Eg: public class FormatCodeClass{ { public void showFormattedMethod() { System.out.println("Yay"); } } Fortunately, most websites that support these snippets use some kind of library that can be used to render this easily. The one that I use on my blog is called Google Pretty Print. I'll be explaining how to integrate this into your website/Blogger.  Step 1) Add the library to your HTML above the <body> tag Click on Themes, then on Edit HTML. Search for the <body> tag and copy  <script src='https://cdn.rawgit.com/google/code-prettify/master/loader/run_prettify.js'/> above it.  Step 2) Add in your preferred CSS above the </head> tag <!--Desert theme--> <style type='text/css'>pre .atn,pre .kwd,pre .tag{font-weight:700}pre.prettyprint{display:block;background-color:#333}pre .nocode{background-color:none;color:...

Android App Update! Would You Rather Kids v1.2

Image
Hello there travellers. It's been quite a while since my last post (and update to my app!). Looking back these last 5 months, I feel like what I've been doing can be summarized into 2 things. Minecraft and K-Drama's! I couldn't get enough of both of them, which put my android learning experience on a bit of a hiatus unfortunately. But, no more! My hunger to dabble in Android development has resurfaced. And to satiate that hunger, I decided to push out new update to my Would You Rather Kids android app. The goal I set for this update is to allow users to choose their own theme. In order to render my theme selection activity, I used a combination of GridLayout, CardView and ImageView (along with a ScrollView of course). The structure looked as follows: <ScrollView> <android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout> <android.support.v7.widget.CardView> <ImageView/> </android.support.v7.widget.CardView> <android.support.v7.widge...
