MobileSchool is now ready for you… and the Italian Developer can improve their knowledge through it!

You can learn more from the website that speaks about it, such as RabenBlog (visible at: http://rabenblog.eraben.com/w/index.php/difficolta/saputello/sviluppare-applicazioni-android-con-mobileschool/) that wrote a beautiful post about Francesco Lo Truglio and his role in the MobileSchool!

and now, what do you want to do? Do you want to stand outside and watch this revolution? Join it!

As you know Steve Jobs yesterday resigned as CEO of Apple..and now?

He, the amazing mind behind  “new era devices ” such the iPhone and the Ipad, he that turned Apple  into one of the world’s most powerful and innovative companies, now maybe for unspecified medical condition leave the leading of Apple..and now? Now that the war has just bugin? What will happen?

Now that Google has bought Motorola Mobile and now that Nokia will use Wp7 in its mobile devices?Now that Apple has to show to the whole World his Lion teeth…The only thing can we can expect is a period in whitch the shares will be strange and they do some up and down…but now we just have to wait for the next move of Tim Cook (the new CEO of Apple)  and wait for recovery of the shares and the launch of the new devices…

What do you think about these facts?
Add comment or write to myself to increase the prediction of the new Apple era!

Hello to everybody,
after more than a two year on Android platform, we have a new powerful framework to develop tablet based application.

Android HoneyComb! what is ? i cannot spend a lot of words on this but you can read the specs on another post of mine (honeycomb), because in this post i want describe the most important news, needed to have a first approach to this developing environment!

The language and the tools are the same (eclipse, java …and so on!) but the approach need to be different, in honeycomb we have the “Fragment”.

The Fragments be a great way to display content, and allow easier navigation of tablet devices, they are similar to the activity but they are only a piece of the global activity. A Fragment object is something between a View and and Activity: It can be part of a layout, but it isn’t a subclass of View. It implements the ComponentCallbacks interface, and it has a lifecycle, but that lifecycle is dependent on the Activity the Fragment object belongs to. Let’s see what it can do for us in a tablet-sized user interface.

There are four important thing that the fragment do for you:

• Dialogs: there is a Fragment called DialogFragment that makes it easy to show a Dialog that is managed as part of the Activity lifecycle.
  This replaces Activity’s “managed dialog” APIs.
• ListActivity: Another kind of Fragment called ListFragment makes it easy to show a list of data.
  This is similar to the existing ListActivity (with a some new features), but answer to the common question about how to show a list with some other data.
• State and restoring: all fragments currently attached to an activity are saved for you by the framework in the activity’s saved instance state and restored for you when it restarts. With this you get help on saving (and restoring) the state of the single fragment.
• History and Navigation: The backstack of all the fragment object loaded is managed by the framework; so it is very easy the use of the activity back button, and you can integrate the existing activity to the fragment backstack! This kind of state is also saved and restored for you automatically.

Now we are ready to begin! follow us, in a couple of day we will prepare a complete example regarding a first honeycomb application to interact with facebook!

Stay tuned!

Tomorrow 9 May at the 9 o’ clock will be the kick off meeting of the project called Buoni Dentro (good inside) a project that involve prisoners to learn how to make “pasta” and to learn how to have a new future!

Exploro is a mobile application that runs on Android, Iphone, Symbian and other device that show you what is around you!

Google officially announced Android 3.0, known as Honeycomb (Google tends to name their Android builds after sweet, delicious desserts).

this firmware born directly for combating the Apple iPad head-on, more and more Honeycomb-powered tablets are being leaked or revealed.

Well, don’t have ont test device, but there are many rumors about the Motorola Xoom and the LG G-Slate, which announces itself as the LG-v909.  Both have been officially announced, and since they’re already at least in use for testing, appear to be fairly close to release.

We’re looking forward to seeing how this new generation of Android tablet compares with the iPad.
