Deciding what to do with Learning Android
Back in February of this year I launched a new site called "Learning Android", and I had high hopes for it. But due to a bunch of real life stuff including my girlfriend getting sick (and going through three major surgeries), deadlines at work going way over and taking on a lot of freelance work it unfortunately went by the wayside.
In the past couple of months I haven't been doing much Android work either so it's been even more difficult now to keep up and really do anything with it. I had put out a call to the community to help with contributions - but I got the total sum of zero replies.
So, with all of this in mind I have decided I can't really run it as a separate site any more. One of the reasons I started a blog back up though was I do want to share my experience with everyone out there who is interested in technology and programming so what I am going to do is put more stuff up here.
I had a quick look over the examples I had and I do need to update them slightly. Some due to API changes and some because - well they are crap. The current examples are up on github but will I can't guarantee they will still work in Android 1.5. In the meantime I am pointing the URL back to this blog.
The first example I am going to re-write is the gallery tutorial and I should have it up soon!
jQTouch Released
Today sees the beta release of jQTouch (Google Code page), a library for jQuery that provides support for native animations, automatic navigation, and themes for mobile WebKit browsers on the iPhone, Android, and Pre platforms.
This means that in your jQuery-based code you can now support events such as swipes and orientation changes. So far it seems to support the iPhone best, which is fair enough as it seems to have the best events system in the mobile browser space but hopfully we'll see improved Android support soon.
