Android SDK m5-rc14 Released

New Android SDK released. There are some improvement, and changes. And some of my samples, i publish here and at learncodes.googlepages.com maybe have function that has been changed. But i think you the reader will be easily adopted.

Some of them, like there isn't onMotionEvent (MotionEvent ev) method but has been changed to OnTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev), there should be android:name on AndroidManifest.xml not id, but id, still can be use with warning.

So, hope you, the reader, will adopt it easily.

It is interesting that we can create a customized component or in other word, we just say custom component in Android. From the documentation, it is permitted to build a custom component from any class / view class provided by android.

Sample Android Database Application

For interacting with database, i have created a simple complete application using database in android. You can take a look at this application at my Contact Application in googlepages. You are free to download the sample code.

This application contains Contact Database, and some database manipulation. Fields included in the table are Contact Name, Address, Mobile Phone Number, and Home Phone Number. You can add, edit, and delete the contact.
