  • MonoDroid Videos

    Wednesday, August 25, 2010

    Falafel Software created two videos on the pre-release version of MonoDroid in the last week with permission from the Mono Development Team at Novell in order to demonstrate the power of this upcoming tool in building Android Applications in Visual Studio 2010 using C#.  
    The first video was downloaded 12,000 times in the first 36 hours worldwide.  The interest is very high for this tool!
    What do you think of the ability to write C# code for the Android SDK?    		 image

  • iPad UISplitViewController bug – a workaround

    Friday, July 09, 2010

    The Problem


     

    The UISplitViewController is the flagship iPad user interface element, as it allows your application to optimize the use of the large screen.  This control manages 2 views, usually a master view (for navigation) and a detail view (for content).  When in landscape mode, the controller shows both views side-by-side, and when the device is rotated to portrait mode, the master view is hidden and the detail view occupies the full screen.  In this case, the SplitView controller places the master view in a hidden UIPopoverController, and the common MO is to add a button to a toolbar ...

  • Reusing list items in Android and iOS - a comparison.

    Thursday, July 08, 2010

    A very common UI paradigm in mobile development is the scrolling list of items.  You have all seen it: flick your finger up and down and the data scrolls by, touch an item and drill down into the details for the touched item.  Here are a couple of examples from our Falafel 2 Go app:

                                                      

    You can probably imagine this is a critical performance area for a resource constrained mobile device: there could be many ...

  • Barcode your Android Application

    Tuesday, June 08, 2010

    Yesterday evening, my Falafel pals at Microsoft Tech Ed asked for a barcode to display in the Falafel booth so that attendees could easily find Falafel 2 Go in the Android Market.  The popular format for doing this is something called a “QR Code”, a 2 dimensional barcode that can embed links, emails, phone numbers, and other digital media. 

     

    At first I was thinking it seemed a bit tedious for an attendee to have to use their camera to find our app in the Android Market.  While the QR Code can be used to embed many types of digital ...

  • I have to eat my words about the iPad

    Sunday, May 02, 2010

    On January 31st 2010, I wrote a blog expressing my opinion and reasoning behind rejecting the idea of having an iPad and predicting its imminent failure.

    Well, believe it or not, I decided to buy one last week, as I am a tech junky – gotta have it – kind of guy.  I was going to keep it next to the TV to check emails, surf the web, read the newspaper at Starbucks, etc…

    Well, I have to eat my words from the blog on January 31st, this device is AMAZING, I am “again” pretty impressed. 

    For a company, “Apple”, ...
