Hello Urbanesia!

A cheerful morning today. Exactly 1 month before my birthday and the switch to Urbanesia is complete. Very happy to integrate with Urbanesia with the role Chief Innovation Officer.

@Urbanesia API #Android Class

It’s been quite a day today. Did some code reworking with an app I showed you guys in my last posts. I decided to publish the Urbanesia class to Google Code and make it GPL v2.

I encourage everyone to contribute and make more modifications. I’m not as experienced as others in Java, would love to learn more. The Google Code URL is:

Enjoy and empower yourselves developers!

I love how I can just push my self-developed applications onto the phone just by using Eclipse. It makes it easier to do testings. No complicated code signing and or certificate applications needed. Anyways, these past few weeks, I’ve been developing an Augmented Reality application for a client. [Read More]
