Writing python (or any other SL4A) in android -

-

can point me tutorial on using android scripting enviornment? i've seen plenty of tutorials on how write python code using android api http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/tutorials.

but none of i've seen gives example of how works inside android or how call python stuff android application. i'm looking tutorial can bring can see example of actual android app running python scripts.

note: tested on samsung galaxy s running android 2.2. ymmv.

i never thought of running python on android till saw this. :)
installed sl4a app , tried out simple shell script. installing python interpreter , trying out hello world soon.

the step straight forward:
1. download app (it.s not on market http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/)
2. create shell script clicking add button , choosing shell in options pop-up
3. write code.
4. select "save , run" (or "save , exit" , click on script name in main window)
5. @ point script's output should show in terminal window.

now trying install python interpreter. keep thread updated guess same set of steps. having lot of issues downloading files - download slow , keeps closing.

i don't know if can call these scripts android appln. intention of project seems other way around. know!

edit: continuing experience python.
1. open sl4a , go view->interpreters menu. if python isn't listed select add menu.
2. download apk install (make sure install non-market applications available)
3. open python android app. has single button "install"
4. click on install , wait... , wait... don't use phone till install there seems bug in app if use other app on phone or tab away 1 download gets cancelled!!!
5. after successful install return sl4a should see python in interpreters , lot of sample python scripts.
6. samples seem cover quite bit of apis. quite impressed saw.

edit: since original post have tested on galaxy s2 running android 4.0. impressive results.

ruby - When to use an ORM (Sequel, Datamapper, AR, etc.) vs. pure SQL for querying -

a colleague of mine designing sql queries 1 below produce reports, displayed in excel files through external data query. @ present, reporting processes on db required (no crud operations). i trying convince him better use ruby orm in order able display data in rails/sinatra app. despite obvious advantages in displaying data, advantages there him in learning use orm sequel or datamapper? the sql queries writing quite complex, , being relatively new sql, complains time-consuming , confusing. possible write extremely complex queries orm? , if so, suitable(i have heard sequel legacy dbs)? , advantages of learning ruby , using orm versus sticking plain sql, in making complex database queries? i'm datamapper maintainer, , think complex reporting should use sql. while think someday we'll have dsl provides power , conciseness of sql, i've seen far requires write more ruby code sql complex queries. rather maintain 5 line sql query 10-15 lines of ruby code desc...

php - PHPDoc: @return void necessary? -

is necessary this: /** * ... * * @return void */ i have quite few methods don't have return value, , seems redundant put in comment. considered bad form leave out? if makes clear documentation, leave in, isn't strictly necessary. it's entirely subjective decision. personally, leave out. edit stand corrected. after little googling, wikipedia page says: @return [type description] tag should not used constructors or methods defined void return type. the phpdoc.org website says: @return datatype description @return datatype1|datatype2 description the @return tag used document return value of functions or methods. @returns alias @return support tag formats of other automatic documentors the datatype should valid php type (int, string, bool, etc), class name type of object returned, or "mixed". if want explicitly show multiple possible return types, list them pipe-delimited without spaces (e.g. "@retur...

this question has answer here: how convert between big-endian , little-endian values in c++? 28 answers i've been looking around how convert big-endian little-endians. didn't find solve problem. seem there's many way can conversion. anyway following code works ok in big-endian system. how should write conversion function work on little-endian system well? this homework, since systems @ school running big-endian system. it's got curious , wanted make work on home computer also #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { ifstream file; file.open("file.bin", ios::in | ios::binary); if(!file) cerr << "not able read" << endl; else { cout << "opened" << endl; int i_var; double d_var; while(!file.eof()) {...
