Enicma

After I installed eclipse and Android SDK, ADT and so on. I was testing my application on my phone but every single time Eclipse crashed with no reason. Finally I ran it on bash to check what there were the error messages after It crashes.

Finally I got something like that:

• • (Eclipse:9685): CRITICAL **: murrine_style_draw_box: assertion `height >= -1′ failed

• • (Eclipse:9685): CRITICAL **: murrine_style_draw_box: assertion `height >= -1′ failed

Aborted

After I searched on the internet the solution, I had to remove xulrunner-1.9.1.

$ sudo apt-get remove xulrunner-1.9.1

The url forum is here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/581994

I hope that removing is not going to affect any software in the future. Meanwhile I will enjoy until next error.

I was checking how to install all the Android SDK for eclipse, the problem is I’ve been spending a quite awhile doing this process due to the Slow Australian internet connection. Yesterday that connection was behaving very opposite that used to behave! I was connected in a highway that sometimes had speed droppings but most of the time was so fast, even It went to 150Kb/seg that I haven’t seen that before.

Finally I could install all the development environment, I was checking every thing and the Android emulator was so very slow to work it, even I went to my number one restaurant where everybody knows Subway, I could eat totally relax, after that I went to seven eleven, always attended by the friendly India people and I bought some chip as my desert. I came back at home and the Android emulator hadn’t started yet so I decided to try to use the debug mode.

To use the debug mode, I need the a android phone and what a coincidence, I got a new Google Nexus S that it cost me 406 dolars include the delivery and now It is in promotion at Dicksmith for 299 in vodafone prepaid plan… Damn!!! That is the problem with technology when you something that you think is in good price, next week after you buy the gadget, appeared a new a better deal!

I don’t want to think in that now, I’ve been trying to make Ubuntu recognizes my phone but as always there is something that is not working. Normally to enter to the debug mode you the device is detected by software is not you cannot to enter it. After searching and searching for the right solution, I found 2 pages:

Using Hardware Device
This page explains how eclipse detects your phone, however, It is not enough with that tutorial because there was a detecting error on Eclipse.

Then I found the next one.
Making Ubuntu Detects Android Phone

After made all the steps that were in the tutorial. I was still having problem to make Ubuntu and Eclipse detect my phone so I rebooted my system and I checked with the next commands:

It is much better to get a list of the devices that we have connected with this you can know what is Hex code of your phone with out check any list.
$ lsusb

$ sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
$ sudo restart udev
$ adb devices

If it doesn’t detect, sometimes you have to execute those scripts.

$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server

However I didn’t work so finally, I checked the file’s permission /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and there was the error in the tutorial they say that execute chmod a+r but the system needs to execute the file so I changed to 755 and Voila!!! Sooo waiting that eclipse finished the 2.3.3 SDK to use the debug option. I’ve been spending so much time doing this installation due to internet.

I started long time ago checking android to install in my Friendly ARM board but the problem was that Android is to heavy to that sort of hardware, however I didn’t stop looking the way to run Android in low cost hardware so what I found was Beagle Board, that board has all the basic components that you need to install but my suprise was that there was a company involve in amazing project that I’ve never seen in my life. Running 3 operate systems at the same time without any machine emulation software such as Vmware or virtual box. When I saw that, I was shocked, so I decided to download it and my first impression was stunning happiness.

After that I checked some code and how to change some parts of the system but It wasn’t to easy that I looked forward. Because of my lack of time ($$$), I couldn’t finish my target that was personalized system.

After that I saw many android apps and because I did java long time ago, I thought, It is good to have a experience in that, but some times I just do that for fun. Well I started to install all the software that I needed but It started to give me installation issues because the ubuntu version that I have JDK, after a searching I found how to install java, In this url how-to-install-the-sun-java-jdk-on-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat but I going to put the command lines that were used to address the problem for easy access, If I need in the future.

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Now I think every thing is done and I’m going to check if Eclipse is ready for coding. I’ll hope that there is going to get more errors as always, that is software life.

No more for today let’s get ready to rumbleeee!!!

En estos momento de la vida que he estado con tantos problemas economicos y viendo que mucha gente genera riqueza iniciando su propia empresa o negocio me he puesto a pensar por mucho situaciones que han ocurrido ultimamente. En paises donde la economia de consumo hace que el dinero y el materialismo sea la principal causa para vivir ya que con eso nos da un status ante la sociedad la cual siempre te observa o compara para ver si estas en la lista selecta de las personas que les va bien y tienen trabajos importantes o los que les van mal y no pueden adquirir nada simplemente por que tienen mas necesidades que deseos de existir.
