Android Books

It's good to be able to wander in Safari's online shelves and pick up books that I am interested in. Though not having enough time coding, I still managed to quickly take glimpse over two Android books recently. One is 50 Android Hacks, and another one is Android Developer Tools Essential. Both are good to read and gave me some new nuance for my poor Android knowledge.

Google Reader is going into history today.

I've been using Google Reader for very very long time. It's the most important news resource and knowledge source for me. Now it will be closed soon. Kind of  sad that such a good service will no longer exist.

Get Rid of HTC Sync Manager autostart on Mac, and Android File Transfer Autostart

(Geneve.Swiss)

Tired of seeing autostart finder popups every time I plugged in my new hTc one into my mac. Here's a way to disable it:
1. Identify UUID:
   by using "diskutil info /Volumes/HTC\ Sync\ Manager
   you can get its volume UUID
2. sudo vifs
    add a line as below:

UUID=YOURVOLUMEUUID none hfs rw,noauto

= = = = =
As for disabling Android File Transfer app, you just need to rename file names of the so called Agent app:
1. /Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/Google/Android File Transfer
2. /Applications/Android File Transfer.app/Contents/Resources

showing relative line number in vim

Being a long time vim user, this is the first time that I heard vim supports relative line numbers, by which users can jump around the editor screen even more quickly. Just type :set rnu will do the trick.

Another good plugin that can improve navigation speed is EasyMotion. It works a bit like the "f" feature in vimperator for firefox. Too bad that it's not avaible for intellij's ideavim.

How to push codes to Heroku from China

Miss my One V.

Seems the IPs of Heroku are blocked, so "git push heroku" can not work normally. In order to fix this problem, add following lines to the .ssh/config file:


Oh, by the way, remember to change the user name to your own one.

在Lime HD中快速啟動語音輸入法

(富貴角.Taiwan)

剛剛試了一下谷歌的語音輸入，覺得有些時候應該蠻實用的。所以打算幫它在Lime HD中加個快速切換的功能。在Lime HD中原本就有開啟Google語音輸入法的方式，只是我覺得有點太麻煩了。原本的方式是：
1. 長按左下方的設定鈕，這時會跳出一個對話視窗，可以設定輸入簡繁中文的切換，分割鍵盤等一些選擇。畫面最下方則是切換成語音輸入法。

通常會想用語音輸入的時機，都是在手不方便慢慢點螢幕的時候，所以，操作步驟愈多，就愈麻煩。原本我是打算在長按(中/En)按鈕時，直接啟動語音輸入。目前這個按鈕的長按並沒有預設的作用，所以很適合。

可惜的是，我不知道怎麼debug InputMethodService，所以沒有辦法短時間內看清楚在LIMEService中的長按功能，是怎麼前後串起來的。一直找不到好的interception point。

無意中卻發現了，原來Lime有針對輸入的整個面版實作swipe的key listener！！做為一個多年的Lime HD愛用者，竟然不知道有這麼一回事。看了原始碼後，它的目前對應功能是：
滑上：開啟設定對話窗(跟長按設定按鈕一樣)
滑下：關閉輸入法
滑左：模擬刪除鍵
滑右：送出目前選擇的候選字

既然設定對話窗已經可以很方便地長按設定鍵來開啟，我把"滑上"給改成呼叫Google語音輸入法。程式碼很簡單，在LIMEService中的swipeUp()，把原本的code換成StartVoiceInput()就可以了。
