Hope this helps!

All you have to do is to implement one interface and acquire LocationMangager from the adnroid system service.

As you can see this json data contains date attribute called ‘as_of’ as well as array of items, each consisting of name and url attributes.
We will create two simple java classes wich will hold that information.
First one is TwitterTrends.java

And the second one is a simple TwitterTrend.java

TwitterTrends contains a list of TwitterTrend objects, both of them are simple beans and are very similar to the json response if you look closely .

Now the fun part begins.

Download the Gson library from http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/ and add it to your java build path in eclipse.
Once you do that, you can now transform your json response to Java object on Android Platform:
Get the response as InputStream:

Then use that input stream to create your java objects:

Easy ha!

Modify your ‘index.htm’ using html editor to look something like this:

19. Start up your project in tomcat. The page should display current time!


Additional Comments:
I know that this is just a quickfix, and I just cannot belive that there is no proper eclipse plugin using the latest click framework, which would be up to date, if you know any, than please comment and save me and my readers precious time.

Thank you.

In fact you don’t have to even know object properties to generate the report, we will use Apache DynaBeans for that:

This is a simple example code snipped showing you how to get started with the simplest and most dynamic reporting library ever (as well as lacking features probably but we hope its enough for simple projects)

This example assumes the following:

1. You want simple report
2. You dont have to know the object which properties you want to display in advance, by this I mean you can create report columns dynamically, and by using apache dyna beans your objects don’t have to even exists. You just dynamically create them and inject them into the report.

Here is an example test class showing you how to use jasperberry, for more info please contact us directly at softberries.com
Code:

You should find similar snippet in a test suite of the project.
The project itself is licensed under LGPL and its available from sourceforge here

2. Prepare the application you want to make installable, I use Netbeans to build most of my Java apps, but I guess for all other ide’s the results after all are the same, we end up with SomeApp.jar file and a bunch of libraries we used to build it.
On the Netbeans platform all the files needed to launch the application we have build end up in ‘dist’ folder as a subfolder of our project main folder. If you have used any libraries to build your desktop application they will be included in the lib folder (yourproject/dist/lib/).

3. Now, once we have all the main ingredients (our application and installer) we need to connect it together. Create the folder anywhere on your machine, and call it for example ’softwarepassion’.

4. Put your jar file together with the ‘lib’ folder into the ’softwarepassion’ catalog.

5. Now we need to add some native libraries for Izpack to be able to add windows shortcuts on the desktop and start menu. Create ‘bin’ folder under the ’softwarepassion’ folder and copy whole ‘native’ content found in your izpack installation into the ‘bin’ folder of your root ’softwarepassion’ catalog.
You can find the native folder inside your IzPack installation directory, normally under: ‘C:\Program Files\IzPack\bin’

6. Create your application icon file and add it to your ’softwarepasison’ catalog. I call mine ‘exe.ico’.

7. Now comes the hardest part to get initially but after you build your first installer it all gets clear and easy
We need to prepare two separate xml files: one called ‘install.xml’ and another one called ’shortcutSpec.xml’.

The content of both example files is listed below:

And the one for windows shortcuts:

8. Example installation script contains both Readme.txt and Licence.txt which you can add to your ’softwarepassion’ folder.
9. Once you have it all in one place, you should have a structure like in the following screenshot:

10. Now assuming that your ’softwarepassion’ folder has been placed directly on the c: drive, execute the following command:

Assuming that IzPack itself was installed at: C:\Program Files\IzPack

This will produce install.jar file which is your installer.

11. If you dont’ want your end users to click on the ‘jar’ file as not everybody knows they can do that, you can add Izpack launcher app which will launch it automatically, or use another tool to create an executable called launch4j

You have to admit that it was an easy one!!!!!

Happy Installing!

RowNumberTable is simple one column table displaying the ‘count’ number of rows in the second table.

In my case the ‘count’ column is called ‘Lp.’ – in polish

I have created one simple method to apply this technique to any tables in my application (I use JXTable actually but JTable will do as well)

“123456789″ stands for the mobile phone number where you want to send SMS to, and ‘x1A’ is a replacement for + which you have to issue when you want to send sms on the GSM modem.

Enjoy!

Select ‘Windows Forms Application’, set the name for your project and click ‘OK’.
This creates simple windows forms application which you can start up by clicking ‘F5′.

Lets say that my Form1.cs is the main form of the application I want to start up. Before launching Form1 I want to create a splash screen to load some additional resources, connect to the database or remote server. The project structure for now should look like this:

Now, when we have our application created and ready to be launched we create a splash screen for it. We create the splash screen itself first and than modify a bit the code to launch our splash before the main application starts.
Our splash itself would be another form which we modify a bit to look like, well, like a splash screen .
Lets add another form to our project:

and name it ‘SplashForm.cs’. This form will be launched until our main form loads. To make it look like a proper splash screen we have to find the property named ‘FormBorderStyle’ and set it to ‘None’, as well as set the ‘StartPostion’ to ‘CenterScreen’.
You can prettify the splash form by adding picture boxes, labels etc to add your custom graphics etc. I’m going to add a simple label and animated gif loader to my form. You can use animated gifs generated on this website which I found very cool.

Ok, our splash screen is ready, now we need to modify the code which starts our application to show the splash screen and destroy it when the main form is ready.
Originally, when you create the windows forms type of project a simple class called ‘Program’ gets created. You can find the source for this class inside ‘Program.cs’ file. It should look somthing like this:

In order to use our splash form created earlier correctly we need to modify this code a bit. First, add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly found under .NET tab. Go to you project references and find the following:

Next, add the folowing piece of code among other ‘using’ statements on top of the ‘Program’ class file:

Once this is done you are ready to use the VB goodness. Add the following code below the Program class, inside the same namespace as the Program class itself:

You have to modify the main method a bit as well, use the main with arguments option and start you application using our newly created SplashApp class, the full source code for the Program.cs will look like this:
