NITDroid installation

I'm disappointed that NOKIA announced they will use WM for their new N9 series phone, and that makes me wanting to give up Maemo.

I've used iPhone before. Its a good experience to use a smart phone. But it is too expensive for me. So, I want to migrate to Android based.

For some reasons:
  1. Android had good integration with Google services, that's helpful to me.
  2. Android also has lots of applications on AppMarket.
  3. Android based phone is cheaper than iPhone.
So, I tried to install NITDroid on my NOKIA N900.

I want to thanks to the NITDroid project! Its very easy to install NITDroid on NOKIA N900 for now. The following is the notes I've been tried.
  1. Preparing a microSD card, and 2G size is recommended.
  2. Add a repo: extra-devel on Maemo's application manager.
  3. Install a package named nitdroid-installer on Maemo.
  4. Click the Application icon or run 'nitdroid' with superuser for automatic installation.
  5. After the installation, reboot the phone to entering the Android world! (Its version is v2.3 now)
You will see a wizard guiding you to finish the initialization for the first time. You can finish it quickly and easily with a Google account.

Well, I reinstalled NITDroid several times. And I got some ideas with it.
  • NITDroid runs smoothly on N900.
  • Its wasting power that runs with WiFi.
  • Hardware support is not completed, and 3G data/phone is not works now.
What a pitty!

I hope I can use Android with N900 in the near future!

How to show only month and year fields in android Date-picker?

Android default DatePicker show day/month/year fields but you have to customize this DatePicker as your requirements. Suppose that you want to show only month and year fields in android datepicker . To do this, you have to customize the Dialog DatePicker source code but it is not an easy task. In this tutorial I will show you a tricky way to solve this problem. Lets see how to show only month and year field in android DatePicker as a dialog.   Step to show only month and year fields in android date-picker: Some days ago I got this same problem and here I am trying to explain this in a sequential manner. I want to show a dialog datepicker when user click on an EditText. So if user click on EditText, A dialog datepicker will be invocked and it will show only month and year fields. To do this, at first we have to create a xml layout to hold the EditText fields. So create an android project and name it DatePickerExample. In the main.xml file just try to write this simple code....

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key val...

Conflict Serializability in database

Image
To maintains database state consistency we introduce serializability. Using serializability we can understand which schedule will ensure consistency, and which schedule will not. When we are capable of converting a concurrent schedule into a serial schedule then we cal it serializable schedule. A schedule is serializable if it is equivalent to a serial schedule. We divided this concepts into two parts 1. Conflict serializability  & 2. View serializability In this discussion I just clarify you the conflict serializability. Consider two instruction read, write and the data item A and B. When two instruction execute different data item such as read(A) and read(B), then we can swap the instruction without affecting the result of the schedule. But when the data item is equivalent to one another we need to consider following four condition.    a.   read (A ),    read ( A ).   they   don’t conflict.    b.   read ( Q),  ...
