Android

Let everyone who is reading this be warned that this is NOT an objective article about either of the platform. So politely for fanboys, I’m just expressing my experience using both. It’s a love and hate relationship for me so both are winners and losers. The first of the two that I own and used everyday is an iPhone 3G 8 Gigs. I must tell you that every iPhone is a masterpiece of great User Interface (UI) design. [Read More]

Okay so you’ve updated your Android to Froyo 2.2 but when you go into Flash enabled websites, what’s supposed to be Flash applets is just a blue box with a question mark. So other than the speed acceleration and other below-the-hood upgrades, where’s that Flash support Google and Adobe is barking about? Don’t get all too disappointed because you can install Flash now. For some reason, in my Nexus One, Flash wasn’t there. [Read More]

I’m one of the happiest Nexus One owner today! Thanks to the guys at Modaco, my Nexus One is now an official Froyo! It’s the biggest smile I’ve had since a while lol. Updating it was a breeze as long as your Nexus One is already rooted. Next up is a walkthrough on how to get a Froyo for yours. [caption id=“attachment_376” align=“aligncenter” width=“230” caption=“Froyo anyone?"][/caption] First of before going any further, you MUST root your Nexus One first. [Read More]

Sebelum mulai dengan artikel ini, saya refresh dulu memori istri-istri AR.

Dengan menggunakan fitur-fitur deteksi lokasi yang terdapat pada hampir semua smartphone saat ini, AR telah berubah menjadi sebuah aplikasi yang memberikan pratayang kepada kita semua tentang masa depan.

Yippy now Poligamy is available at Android Market globally :) Need everyone’s help to tear down and find bugs with the app so I decided to publish it. I’m game for a bug huting session! By using your own Android Market app, search for Poligamy or Augmented Reality as the search terms. Better yet, you can scan the QR code below and it will take you to the app. [caption id=“attachment_363” align=“aligncenter” width=“248” caption=“Poligamy-qr”][/caption] [Read More]

Hello again. Happy Sunday everyone! I compiled a video about Poligamy in action. It basically features the barebones of Poligamy. The location data is courtesy of URBANESIA.com. Thanks bro :) [vsw id="ia9ArARK_jM" source="youtube" width="425" height="344" autoplay="no"] This video is meant to show the world that Indonesia is right on track technologically speaking. Poligamy is powered by Mediafusion Interactive Communication and a box of The Laughing Cow Belcube - Cheese Spread Cubes. [Read More]

Good evening all. Continuing my Guest Post at DailySocial.net, I’m beta testing an Android app titled Poligamy lol. Need your help :) It’s an app to test real world HTTP connections and also to test Location-related features. I added an Augmented Reality viewer to trigger your geek souls hehe. Poligamy is built upon the Urbanesia class I posted before. It gets its POI data from Urbanesia and distribute the data into 3 main parts of the app which are List View, Map View and Augmented Reality View. [Read More]

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’ve had it with XL, my tolerance is over my threshold for patience. I turned to Indosat M2’s Broom Unlimited. For IDR 200.000 I got 3 GB of data at max speed and throttled down to 64 Kbps for overusages. It’s a good enough deal :) So here’s the settings for your Android phone: Name: im2 - change this to whatever you like APN: indosatm2 Proxy: <Not Set> Port: <Not Set> Username: fill this with the username you registered your SIM card initially.

I told you before that I’m gonna talk about another Augmented Reality framework. The framework is a great product from one of Augmented Reality’s early adopter namely Wikitude. Generally speaking, it’s more complicated than Mixare but offers more customization and definitely more features. I’m gonna build this tutorial with the following features: External Data Source - I'm using JSON from Urbanesia.com API. In-app WebView bindings - To display WebViews of any POIs URL. [Read More]
