Here’s a quick note of recommended image sizes for Android app icons: 36×36 for low-density (LDPI) 48×48 for medium-density (MDPI) 72×72 for high-density (HDPI) 96×96 for extra high-density (XHDPI) 180×180 for extra extra high-density (XXHDPI) 192×192 […]

Hey! 🙂 This is a page I’m preparing quickly for developers who are used to the folder structure of Laravel 4 and older, just to serve as reference on where we can find things in Laravel 5 now. If like me, you are new to Laravel 5 but have developed apps using older Laravel versions, […]
Charlotte – anime review
This would be a shorter than usual anime review from me. Just some random thoughts about Charlotte anime. I usually watch the anime series that my office friends and my boyfriend recommend. My boyfriend didn’t like Charlotte that much, but I watched it anyway because it’s one of the series I copied from a friend. […]
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.

Steins;Gate anime review
I just finished watching all episodes of the anime Steins;Gate and I LOVED it! It’s about “mad scientist” Okabe Rintarou and his lab mates, who accidentally discovered/invent a “Phone Microwave” that could send messages to the past.

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 […]
Shinjuku Ramen House review – Little Tokyo, Makati
A friend and I wanted Japanese food a few days ago, and because she wanted ramen while I wanted sashimi, our feet took us to Shinjuku Ramen House, which had both items available on their menu. It’s along Chino Roces Avenue, and if I remember correctly, is located at the intersection with Fernando Street. There […]
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 […]
