#Exercise #Tracker #application #with #PhoneGap

track info pageExercise Tracker application with PhoneGap. In this tutorial, the Track Workout page and complete the app by creating the History and Track Info pages. Saving the GPS Data  
When the user clicks the Stop Tracking button, we need to stop following their GPS location and save all of the GPS points that were recorded (tracking_data) into the database. We’ll also reset the text input box (in case they want to record another workout straight away) and we’ll display a message that we have stopped location tracking. PhoneGap provides both browser-based Local Storage and a SQLite database as methods of storing data on the phone. The SQL database is a lot more powerful (due to the fact you can specify table schemas), but comes at the cost of code complexity. Local Storage is a simple key/value store that is easy to setup and use. Data is stored using the setItem(key, value) method, and retrieved using the getItem(key) method. Read MOre

Logging in C# with log4net

There are some examples out there, but I’ve found that most of are either too complicated or are too specific.
In the end I decided that the only way to fix the problem is to write a general tutorial on Log4Net configuration myself.

Basics

Use NuGet to download and install the latest version of Log4Net.

Config files

Now you need to configure Log4Net.

Enabling the Android Move To SD Card


This Android Quick Tip will show you how to allow your end-users to optionally save valuable device storage space by choosing to store your application on their removable SD card.

Final Result Preview

This tutorial will take an existing Android application and add the ability for the user to move the application to their SD card. This feature was introduced in Android 2.2, but does not require the application to use the Android 2.2 SDK as the minimum supported SDK version. Even your Android 1.5 application can use this feature.

Step 1: Preparation

We begin this tutorial by obtaining the version of the phrasebook Android application used in a previous tutorial called . Download the source code if you want to perform these steps yourself, or just follow along and use these steps with your own Android applications.
If the user has Android 2.2 installed on their device and you haven’t applied this tip, they’ll see a tantalizingly useful, yet grayed out, button when they try to move the application to their SD card. Developers must specifically enable this feature within their specific applications……

Struts 2 Tutorial

Welcome to Part-4 of the 7-part series where we will go through different aspects for Struts2 Framework with some useful examples. In previous part we went through Struts2 Validation Framework. We saw how easy it is to integrate validation in your struts2 application. In this part we will discuss about Tiles Framework and its Integration with Struts2. We will add Tiles support to our HelloWorld Struts application that we created in previous parts. I strongly recommend you to go through previous articles and download the source code of our sample application.

Struts 2 Tutorial List

Introduction to Tiles 2

Nowadays, website are generally divided into pieces of reusable template that are being rendered among different web pages. For example a site containing header, footer, menu etc. This items remains same through out the website and give it a common look and feel. It is very difficult to hard code this in each and every webpage and if later a change is needed than all the pages needs to be modified. Hence we use templatization mechanism. We create a common Header, Footer, Menu page and include this in each page. Tiles Plugin allow both templating and componentization. In fact, both mechanisms are similar: you define parts of page (a “Tile”) that you assemble to build another part or a full page. A part can take parameters, allowing dynamic content, and can be seen as a method in JAVA language. Tiles is a templating system used to maintain a consistent look and feel across all the web pages of a web application. It increase the reusability of template and reduce code duplication. A common layout of website is defined in a central configuration file and this layout can be extended across all the webpages of the web application.

Our Application Layout

Our goal is to add Header, Footer and Menu to our StrutsHelloWorld application. Following will be the layout of the same. struts2-tiles-layout

Required JAR files

In order to add Tiles support to our Struts2 application, we will need few jar files. Following is the list of JARs in our example. Add these JARs in WEB-INF/lib folder. struts2-tiles-jar-files

Configuring Tiles in web.xml

To configure Tiles, an entry for listener has to be made in web.xml. Open the web.xml from WEB-INF folder and add following code into it.
01.<listener>
02.<listener-class>
03.
04.org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener
05.</listener-class>
06.</listener>
07.<context-param>
08.<param-name>tilesDefinitions</param-name>
09.<param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles.xml</param-value>
10.
11.</context-param>
The above code configure Tiles listener in web.xml. An input configuration file /WEB-INF/tiles.xml is passed as argument. This file contains the Tiles definition for our web application. Create a file tiles.xml in WEB-INF folder and copy following code into it. struts2-tiles-xml
01.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
02.
03.<!--DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC-->
04."-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN"
06.<tiles-definitions>
07.<definition name="baseLayout" template="/BaseLayout.jsp">
08.<put-attribute name="title" value="" />
09.
10.<put-attribute name="header" value="/Header.jsp" />
11.<put-attribute name="menu" value="/Menu.jsp" />
12.
13.<put-attribute name="body" value="" />
14.<put-attribute name="footer" value="/Footer.jsp" />
15.
16.</definition>
17.<definition name="/welcome.tiles" extends="baseLayout">
18.<put-attribute name="title" value="Welcome" />
19.
20.<put-attribute name="body" value="/Welcome.jsp" />
21.</definition>
22.<definition name="/customer.tiles" extends="baseLayout">
23.
24.<put-attribute name="title" value="Customer Form" />
25.<put-attribute name="body" value="/Customer.jsp" />
26.
27.</definition>
28.<definition name="/customer.success.tiles" extends="baseLayout">
29.<put-attribute name="title" value="Customer Added" />
30.
31.<put-attribute name="body" value="/SuccessCustomer.jsp" />
32.</definition>
33.</tiles-definitions>
Here in tiles.xml we have define a template baseLayout. This layout contains attributes such as Header, Title, Body, Menu and Footer. The layout is then extended and new definitions for Welcome page and Customer page is defined. We have override the default layout and changed the content for Body and Title.

Creating JSPs

struts-2-tiles-layout-jspWe will define the template for our webapplication in a JSP file called BaseLayout.jsp. This template will contain different segments of web page (Header, Footer, Menu etc). Create 4 new JSP files BaseLayout.jsp, Header.jsp, Menu.jsp and Footer.jsp and copy following content in each of them. BaseLayout.jsp
01.<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
02.<!--DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"-->
03.
05.<html>
06.<head>
07.<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
08.<title><tiles:insertAttribute name="title" ignore="true" /></title>
09.
10.</head>
11.<body>
12.<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" align="center">
13.<tr>
14.
15.<td height="30" colspan="2"><tiles:insertAttribute name="header" />
16.</td>
17.</tr>
18.
19.<tr>
20.<td height="250"><tiles:insertAttribute name="menu" /></td>
21.<td width="350"><tiles:insertAttribute name="body" /></td>

28.</tr>
29.</table>
30.</body>
31.</html>
Header.jsp
1.<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
2.

2.
3.<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
4.Copyright &copy; ViralPatel.net

Modifications in Struts.xml

In struts.xml we defined result tag which maps a particular action with a JSP page. Now we will modify it and map the result with Tiles. Following will be the content of struts.xml file.
01.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
02.
03.<!--DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC-->
04."-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
06.
07.<struts>
08.<constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation"
09.value="false" />
10.
11.<constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" />
12.<constant name="struts.custom.i18n.resources"
13.value="ApplicationResources" />
14.
15.<package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
16.<result-types>
17.<result-type name="tiles"
18.
19.class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult" />
20.</result-types>
21.<action name="login"
22.class="net.viralpatel.struts2.LoginAction">
23.
24.<result name="success" type="tiles">/welcome.tiles</result>
25.<result name="error">Login.jsp</result>
26.</action>
27.
28.<action name="customer"
29.class="net.viralpatel.struts2.CustomerAction">
30.<result name="success" type="tiles">/customer.success.tiles</result>
31.
32.<result name="input" type="tiles">/customer.tiles</result>
33.</action>
34.<action name="customer-form">
35.<result name="success" type="tiles">/customer.tiles</result>
36.
37.</action>
38.</package>
39.</struts>
The struts.xml now defines a new Result type for Tiles. This result type is used in tag for different actions. Also note that we have define a new action customer-form. This is just an empty declaration to redirect user to Customer form page when she clicks Customer link from menu.

That’s All Folks

Compile and Execute the application in Eclipse and see that the header, menu and footer are properly applied. Welcome Page with Tiles struts3 Customer Page with Tiles struts2 Customer Success Page with Tiles struts1
