Get started: Android Studio app development on Windows 7 (Tested on LG G3 phone)
You can still follow this tutorial if you’re using another version of Windows or if you’re using another Android device. You don’t strictly have to use a Windows 7 computer and an LG G3 phone. 🙂 Being a web developer and a frequent user of Android devices, I’ve always been curious about Android app development. […]
Android: 2-dimensional List String (List of List)
For a web developer who used mostly PHP and JavaScript for several years, plunging into Java can be challenging especially when it comes to data types. PHP and JavaScript are loosely typed languages, while Java is strict about types. I was told that in Android, List<String> is very commonly used, even more than arrays. And […]
Android confirm dialog box with OK and Cancel button
This will probably be one of the Android code snippets that I will need to go back to from time to time. I’m sharing the codes we need to show an Android confirm dialog to prompt the user to click “yes” or “no”, or in my case, “OK” or “Cancel”. The following code for Android […]
Android Studio dark theme (change into Darcula theme)

SSH without password: PuTTY or Git Bash
We access remote Linux servers everyday from our Windows computers. Having different servers for different projects, it can be difficult having to enter the passwords over and over in everyday. And so, I suggest that we use SSH Keys instead for authentication to save us some time and boost productivity. SSH keys should also make […]
Google Maps get coordinates on click or drag and drop
With this tutorial you’ll see how we can place a Google map with search box on your web page, and then get coordinates (i.e. latitude and longitude) based on where you click or where you drag and drop the marker into. The JavaScript API of Google Maps will help us achieve this. This kind of […]
Log the date & time each time you turn on your Windows computer
In the morning, I sometimes forget the time I log into the time-tracking system in my workplace so I stay a bit longer to make sure I don’t get an “undertime”. I thought that my computer at work could help me with this issue somehow. I hoped there was a Windows program that can record […]
