Android studio does not show components

Tue, 21 May 2013 13:54:46 +0000

Hallo!

I have downloaded the Android Studio from the official web-site, installed it, created the first project, but it fails to show the main components.

Some components are unavailable in the menu (such as sdk manager, avd and ect.). Besides, there are only two folders in the root of the project (libs and src), there is no folder 'build'.

Please, could you help my problem?

The image below shows the idea of my problem:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7"

Tue, 21 May 2013 11:14:06 +0000

I am very interested in this droid but am confused about the myriad versions of information that I get from the web. It seems that there are a multitude of models of this tablet? I have seen a number of places offering this tablet with 8gb and no 3g service for under $200. My questions:

1. All of the places selling the 16gb version of this tablet are much (more than $100) more expensive than the 8gb. I think they come bundled with other things. Is there a way to upgrade the tablet's memory? I am not really sure if I need more than 8gb but I have found from the past that things like memory size give a digital device a longer useful life.

2. Can this base model use a USB 3G dongle to get the service? Would I be better off using a mobile hot spot than to get a usb 3g dongle?

3. This does support flash, doesn't it?

The web is a wonderful place but it quickly becomes like a roadside point of interest - quickly littered with all kinds of garbage I wish there was a www mandate to date all articles and posts.

I’m currently using Samsung galaxy duos (not happy with its performance) and planning to buy Huawei G510. I've no idea about the after-sales service of Huawei. Should I trust Huawei smartphones?

Review: Ravpower WifiDisk (wireless storage reader/writer)

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:23:17 +0000

$49.99 on Amazon

I bought this after reading some reviews on xda as well as following up my research on Amazon, and after receiving it and using it during a road trip, I'm amazed at what it can do. The basic function of this product is to wirelessly access your flash drives, portable hard drives, and sd cards through its own wifi network (just like you would your home router). Essentially, this is like a portable router too. This is powered by a 3000 mah battery which also can double as a cellphone charger as well.

Using this was fairly simple for me. It really did work great right out of the box after installing the app AirStor. I was somewhat hesitant that there might be issues because some people were talking about how the firmware needed upgrading and that they had to do it themselves, but I guess I was lucky and perhaps this issue has been fixed because there were no errors for my device. I can also view my files through its own browser interface by typing in the WifiDisk's IP address 10.10.10.254 which was a great tip from someone who wrote a review on Amazon.

The best feature of this device is being able to access all my videos and stream seamlessly on my s3 without having anything physically connected to my phone. For viewing videos alone, it has worked wonders.

Other features are:
Connect up to 5 devices at the same time.
Wireless
Connect to your home internet via wizard setup.

Backup portable phone charger.

Supports

Product Specs from Amazon:

- Model: RP-WD01
- Wi-Fi Standard: 802.11b/g/n
- Wi-Fi Frequency: 2.4 GHZ
- SD card support: up to 128 G
- USB HDD support: up to 2 TB
- USB type: USB 2.0
- Micro-USB type: USB 2.0
- Power Bank Capacity: 3000 mAh
- Max Input: 5V / 1.5A
- Output: 5V / 1A
- Dimension: 4.65" x 3.11" x 0.55"
- Weight: 4.23 oz.
- Working Temperature: 5-35°C
- Storage Temperature: 0-60°C
- Certification: CE/FCC

Only downside so far to this is that this device does seem to scratch easily, and it's white.

Does anyone know of anything else like this on the market other than wifi hard drives? I find this product pretty revolutionary since I haven't seen anything like this on the market. It's really nice that with this I can use different storage types that I already own.

public boolean touchDown (InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer, int button) {
             
        db = new Database();
            scores = db.UpdateScore(entryId, types[type]);<=== ERROR HERE ("entryId" and "type" not defined)
                return true;
                
            }

I need to pass these 2 parameters "int entryId" and "int type" inside the listener.

I tryied this :

but the problème is that the touchDown function is a native function and then I can't add extra params.

Could someone please help ? thanks
