Corona - Display Groups

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 24 Oktober 2013 0 komentar


local Group1 = display.newGroup()

This creates a new display group by the name of Group1. You can then add display objects to it.You should declare them near the top of your Lua document.You should create display groups in a specific order. The first declared group will actually reside behind the next group in visually layered order.


local farBackground = display.newGroup()  
local nearBackground = display.newGroup()  --this will overlay 'farBackground'  
local foreground = display.newGroup()  --and this will overlay 'nearBackground'

No More Saved Searches in Google+

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 22 Oktober 2013 0 komentar

Google+ had a cool feature that allowed you to save searches. It's no longer available and all your saved searches will be removed in a few weeks.

Google shows this message when you click one of the saved searches: "Saved searches are going away. Bookmark this page on your browser to save your Google+ search for later."

There's even an article that explains how to bookmark a search results page. "Browser bookmarks replace the earlier 'Save this search' option in Google+. You can access any existing saved searches from the Home > More menu until November 15, 2013."

I used this feature to save searches like #autoawesome, #googleplusupdate.

{ Thanks, Francis and Lee. }

More Google Experiments That Hide Results URLs

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

There are at least two other versions of the Google experiment that removes search results URLs. The first alternate version places site names or domain names above the page title. For some results Google shows the site name, for other results Google displays the hostname.

The second alternate version shows both the site name and the hostname.

Which one do you like?

(As a side note, if you want to learn more about URLs, check this article written by Matt Cutts.)

Chrome's New Tab Page Shows Static Doodles

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

The last time I wrote about Chrome's updated new tab page, I complained about the animated doodles that distract you every time you open a new tab. Since Chrome replaced the new tab page with Google's homepage, you also get the doodles, including those that are animated or interactive.

Here's what I asked Peter Kasting, from the Chrome team: "If nothing can be done about the new interface, my only request would be to show a static version of the animated doodles and click a button to start the animation. That would be a big improvement. It's really annoying to see the same animation over and over again when opening a new tab page."

The good news is that Google did exactly that. The updated new tab page now shows a static version of the doodle and you need to click a "play" button to start the animation.

Gmail and Docs offer wide language support, however in some cases using the keyboard is less than ideal. Whether you’re a student trying to include a foreign phrase in your paper or an international consultant hoping to begin your message with a friendly local greeting, now you’ll be able to use your own handwriting to input words directly into Gmail and Google Docs with your mouse or trackpad.

To try it out, enable input tools in Gmail or Docs and select the handwriting input (represented by a pencil icon) of the language you want to use.

You can write single or even multiple characters at once in the panel to see them show up in your message or document. Currently, handwriting input is available in Google Docs for over 20 languages and in Gmail for over 50 languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Hindi and Russian.

Handwriting input makes the internet easier to use by people worldwide and is also part of a larger effort to break the barrier between languages, check it out in Google Mobile Search, Google Translate (Web, Android and iOS), and the Chrome browser.

Service is like an Activity but has no interface. Probably if you want to fetch the weather for example you won’t create a blank activity for it, for this you will use a Service.

A Thread is a Thread, probably you already know it from other part. You need to know that you cannot update UI from a Thread. You need to use a Handler for this, but read further.

An AsyncTask is an intelligent Thread that is advised to be used. Intelligent as it can help with it’s methods, and there are two methods that run on UI thread, which is good to update UI components.
