In today’s post we’re going to see what is SQLite-Net Extensions ORM and how to use it to create many-to-many relationship in SQLite database. The other types of relationships will be described in separate posts.
MoneyBack – 3 weeks before the end of DSP
In today’s post I’d like to present what’s the current status of works on MoneyBack application, 3 weeks before the end of DSP competition.
Android Apps Localization
Hello everyone 🙂
As you might have noticed, I’ve recently decided to take a longer break in DSP competition. Few things to do, Easter in the meantime… but of course I didn’t give up and today I’m back 😉
In this post I’d like to show you how do we localize Android apps. Let’s see!
Android Layout Types
If you’re just an Android user, you may not even know that each screen in your application has controls composed within different Layouts. Let’s see what are the main Layout Types in designing Android app.
Xamarin – Android Intents
We’ve already seen what are Activities, the most basic pieces of every Android app and today’s topic is associated with it. We’re going to see how to communicate between Activities (or Application Blocks) using Intents.
Unit Testing Xamarin application
Today we’ll see how to add unit tests to Xamarin Android application, testing both platform-independent logic and Android-specific features.
Using SQLite database in Xamarin.Android
I started to define development tasks to be done within MoneyBack project in the coming days (maybe I’ll even publish my Trello board soon 🙂 ) and it turned out that each functionality the app is going to offer needs persistent storage (e.g. to store people, payments, events etc.). The obvious choice is the local database in which I could store my entities and application’s data.
In this post, I’d like to show you how quickly and easily SQLite database can be added and started to be used in Xamarin.Android project using SQLite.NET and Visual Studio 2017.
Solving performance issues with dotTrace
If you’ve ever had any performance issues with your .NET applications, you may find this writing interesting.
In this post I’d like to present to you a tool produced by JetBrains – dotTrace, showing how using only one of its functionalities can help in finding causes of performance issues in .NET applications.
Xamarin – Android Activities
Today we’re going to take a look at Android’s most basic and in the same time most important concept, which is an Activity. To create even the simplest “HelloWorld” app one should know what are the Activities and how to work with them.
Hello Xamarin World – first steps
This time I want to say “Hello” to Xamarin world.
First thing that needs to be done before starting Xamarin development, is obviously the installation of all necessary components.
In this post I want to share my feelings about the installation (not without issues of course), configuration of my Xamarin Android solution and deployment process to the device.
