Eclipse fails to start after a Mac OS X system crash

Are you seeing crashes on your Eclipse start up? Follow these instructions! Really handy tip by Sergio Bernardino. It indeed fixed my issue on my new Mac :)

- Make sure Eclipse is not running.
- On a Terminal window jump to the location of Eclipse workspace.

Do,

mv .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/old.projects

- Launch Eclipse (it should load now).
- Go to “Eclipse->Preferences->General->Startup and Shutdown”and select “Refresh workspace on startup”.
- Quit Eclipse (ignore any of the errors that might be displayed).
- Go back to the terminal window.


Do, 

mv .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/old.projects .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects

Load Eclipse again.

After this, everything should be fine and the same issue won’t happen again.

Android NDK - Configure Eclipse to invoke native C/C++ code and library in Android

Android NDK allows you to implement part of Android program in native code language such as C/C++.  It's often mistake for Android developers to jump into NDK and delegate heavy computational part into native libraries written in C/C++ for performance improvements. However, as stated in the NDK documentation,

Notably, using native code on Android generally does not result in a noticable performance improvement, but it always increases your app complexity. In general, you should only use the NDK if it is essential to your app—never because you simply prefer to program in C/C++  

Today, I am going to cover how I managed to configure my Eclipse environment to start developing with Android NDK. Before you proceed the rest of tutorial, think twice. Make sure you are doing this for code reuse and portability and not for computational performance benefits.

Prerequisite

This tutorial assumes you have installed Android SDK environment, Java JDK, and Android ADT plugin. If you haven't installed any of those things listed above, follow the tutorial posted by Android code monkey. Once you are done with that, create a new Android project in your Eclipse environment and follow the rest of the tutorial.

Android NDK Installation 

- Install Android NDK
- Unzip Android NDK  (i.e. C:\Android\android-ndk-r8 or /usr/local/android/android-ndk-r8)

Native Code Configuration (C/C++ code)

Install C/C++ Eclipse plugin
- Choose Help -> Install New Software… from the main menu.
- Choose http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo as the source site. If you have another Eclipse release than Galileo choose the appropriate url.



Create JNI folder in your eclipse project
- A folder named 'jni' (lowercase) must be created by you in the Eclipse project's root directory.
 

Create C/C++ JNI sources (example.c)
- Create your c files in jni directory you created above
- For the tutorial, I created example.c to illustrate the basics. I wrote a simple function called initEngine(int x) that doubles up the int x passed and returns the sum.
 

Header Information

- You must have #include and this is necessary for all the JNI configuration in your native code

Return Type

- JNIEXPORT int JNICALL
      - int - return type of your JNI call

Function Declaration 

- Functional declaration in between _ has meanings:
     - Java: We will use Java to invoke this native code
     - com_goeverywhere_jni: package representation of your Java JNI class. 

     - JNILoader: name of the Java class 

     - initEngine: method name within the Java class

Function parameters

- (JNIEnv * env, jobject obj) - this is required for JNI invocation
- Parameters preceding above is the parameter for your function declaration
     - jint x: this is added for my JNI function parameter for initEngine(int x)

Create Android.mk

Android.mk is a makefile needed to compile your native sources between Android NDK and your native code. Information writing on Android.mk file can be found in 'docs' folder inside the Android NDK folder. The most relevant document is the 'ANDROID-MK.TXT'



- LOCAL_PATH - path of your module. $(call my-dir) refers to same directory as the 'Android.mk' file
- LOCAL_MODULE - module name. This name should not have any spaces in it as it will be made into the actual library's name ('libexample.so' for us).
- LOCAL_CFLAGS - compiler flags.
- LOCAL_SRC_FILES - source file name

Write Java JNI library in Java

Now, let's write some Java code!

- Notice that the prefix of function declaration of native c function written above (i.e. Java_com_goeverywhere_jni_JNILoader_initEngine) must match with the Java package represenatation

- System.loadLibrary(module) must be invoked to load the native module via JNI and this must match what you defined in Android.mk:LOCAL_MODULE

- The functional declaration in java side must match with native declarations above with special keyboard native

Configure Eclipse Builder 

There are multiple ways you can compile what you have implemented above. You can install cygwin and install packages associated with it to compile with GCC libraries that comes with it. However, Android NDK already ships with precompiled version of make files and other necessary bundles.

I didn't want to deal with going into Cygwin or cmd prompt everytime I compile my code. Therefore, what I ended up doing is simply configuring an Eclipse Builder that automatically builds using ndk-build.cmd from Android NDK.

Right click on your project -> Properties -> Builders

Create a new Eclipse Project builder 

- Location: refer to ndk-build.cmd from your Android NDK installation directory
- Working Directory: reference to your Android project in your Eclipse

Eclipse Project builder -> Refresh tab

- libs directory is where your Android project looks for compiled resources (jars, libs) by default
- Click "specify resources" and configure location of libs directory
- Once you configure this and refresh your project, your builder will execute and compile all the source codes for you!

Eclipse Project builder -> Build options

- Navigate to "Build Options" tab
- Click "specify resources" and configure your location of jni directory

You are done!

- Your console will show that you have successfully compiled your sources. Depending on your CPU architecture, your compiled library will be compiled into the appropriate folder in your libs (i.e. armeabi)

Designing UI elements with Android fragment and Android SDK Manager issues I ran into

Implementing your Android UI with fragment not only makes your application components more modular, this is an optimal design for multiple platform if you plan to target your application to be available in all Android platforms such as tablets, Google TV, and mobile. Android introduced fragment in API 3.0 but you don't necessary want to make your min API level to 11+ because then the devices with lower API won't be able to download your application in Google play store.

As seen from graph above, it seems very wise to design min API as low as Android 2.2 to grab the most of the market share. It turns out you can still use Android fragment feature from 3.0 API without increasing the min API level in your application by utilizing Android compatibility package. This requires you to download the support package using Android SDK manager. I also found out there's a sample project comes from your android-sdk\samples\android-xx\APIDemos but when I tried to import the project into the workspace, it gave me the following error:

You do not have the latest version of the SDK Tools installed: Please update.

So it looks like I need SDK Tools and compatibility package - no problem. I decided to simply download latest API levels/support/compatibility packages because who knows if I have to end up debugging particular version of the android. You will get a pop up from motodev and htcdev asking for developer credentials but no worries they are legit - you can create an account for free on their website. After creating developer account, I tried it again - While attempting doing so, I ran into more errors in Android SDK manager. Depending on what you have currently installed in the system, you will get an error:

File not found: ...\android-sdk\temp\google_apis-15_r02.zip (Access is denied)

[2012-04-24 00:01:20 - SDK Manager] Skipping 'Android SDK Tools, revision 19'; it depends on 'Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 11' which was not installed.

Error after error!! One thing to note about access is denied error is that it's not a precise error message. In my case, I simply didn't have anything in that folder. I then thought I might have been to ambitious to install everything at once. Therefore, I just decided to install Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 11 then but SDK manager is still not happy.

Failed to rename directory C:\android-sdk\tools to C:\android-sdk\temp...

The error might tell you to turn off anti-virus because you expose yourself to security risks, make sure you don't have command prompts or folders opened associated with android-sdk. I have no idea why Android SDK tools is not fully backward compatible but I figured out a workaround here eventually. To summarize the trick, I had to do the following:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. make a copy of the tools directory and call this new directory tools2.

2. DO NOT USE 'SDK Setup.exe'.

3. Instead open up a cmd.exe window as administrator and run the following from this new tools2 directory (obviously the full path on your local machine will be different):

android-sdk-dir> tools2\android.bat update sdk

Basically, as noted before in this thread, 'SDK Setup.exe' invokes tools\android.bat, which makes it impossible for it to rename the tools directory thereafter. It's a bit goofy and should never have passed QA validation..

After you execute the command above, you will be prompted with Android SDK manager and you will be able to install anything you wish for in Android SDK manager. Sudos kudos!

Eclipse in Windows: Cannot run program (CreateProcess error=87), The parameter is incorrect

You will see this when you exceed the character limits on Windows machine in your Java classpath. The character limit for the Windows is the following:

- Windows XP: 8189 characters
- Windows 7: around 33k characters

You will have to somewhat shorten the classpath. There are potential work arounds to this problem.

1) Use the network drive to shorten the classpath

You can use the network drive to shorten the classpath. Instead of having C:\Program Files\Apache\Maven 3.0\....\\xxx.jar, you can shorten the entire path to (i.g. M:\xxx.jar). Make sure to update your Maven's settings.xml and configure your m2clipse settings accordingly.


2) Use -Djava.ext.dirs JVM parameter and exclude Maven dependencies from your run configuration

It's possible that you might still run into exceeding the class path issue even after setting up the network drive. If this is the case, follow the below steps to resolve the issue.

You can use maven's dependency plugin to export all the transitive dependency jars into the specific location. Look Maven dependency plugin. Configure the Maven dependency plug-in on your pom then execute "mvn dependency:copy-dependencies" to export the jars into the folder (i.e. libs).

Once you have exported all the jars, navigate your Eclipse's runtime configurations. Go to Arguents -> VM arguments and add the -Djava.ext.dirs=libs (if your jar folder is libs). Note that this VM argument is separated by ; so you can enter multiple folders.

Eclipse is running in a JRE, but a JDK is required

When installing m2eclipse plugin, you might get an error like this in a eclipse console

"Eclipse is running in a JRE, but a JDK is required"

Problem can be solved simply by editing eclipse.ini file from your eclipse installation directory.

The key is that the -vm entry must come before the -vmargs entry. Also, make sure to have a line break between

-vm

and the path.

So in the eclipse.ini file:

THIS WILL NOT WORK:
-vm C:\java\jdk\bin\javaw.exe

BUT THIS WILL:
-vm
C:\java\jdk\bin\javaw.exe

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) CRUD - SmartGWT

I found this extensive GWT widget developed and licensed under GNU. From the all the GWT frameworks I have seen, this is the best one so far. It has over 260 showcase features and it is open source!. One of the biggest strength of this framework is the support for data integration/binding. GWT is an amazing tool. However, it doesn't have much of built-in framework for form validation/binding. Writing the code for data binding/validation in GWT can consume a lot of time. SmartGWT has amazing API functions to deal these obstacles with just a couple lines of code!

Look at the show case below:
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#add_grid_form_category

Pay close attention to Grid-Form-Binding. Writing GWT CRUD screen with SmartGWT sounds like a piece of cake!

Spring MVC Attachment Upload/Download Handler

I implemented an attachment upload/download handler using Spring MVC. Uploading was just a piece of cake because all I had to was wiring the multipart resolver into the configuration and have a bean injected to it. Spring documentation was all I needed.

However, downloading was more tricky. I have to get response's output stream, set mime type and write the byte arrays to it. I found out this great mime type list for 2007 office. Even after I set the mime types for the response, .docx was saying that the file was corrupt. Once I click "Yes" on the recovery, it comes back fine but I am not sure why it is getting corrupted as all the other attachments come back just perfect. If anyone has any insights on this issue, please let me know.

DisplayTag feature to expose row numbers

I was working on Spring MVC and DisplayTag to structure the table. I had a list of objects and needed to refer the index of an item because I had to use <spring:bind>

I discovered a cool DisplayTag feature that exposes the row number of an item. Here is an example:

<display:table name="ticketList" id="ticket"> 
  <display:column title="Row Number"> 
     ${ticket_rowNum}
  </display:column> 
</display:table>

You are basically appending "_rowNum" to the variable to get the row number.

Life Goes On: LuxuryMagic #14 - Sun Certified Java Programmer 6.0!

I dedicated a past few weeks to study for the exam. I finally received the certification today! Next is Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD). In the meantime, I submitted my resumes after receiving the certification. I don't know my decision of pursing this certification rather than finding job earlier would turn out. Hopefully, I get to hear some good news but the current economy is fairly tough especially for junior level developer like me.

Life Goes On: LuxuryMagic #13 - Business Card

This business card is designed by my roommate who owns design company called Broad Sighted. I initially provided him ideas for designing LuxuryMaster.net because I wasn't very proficient on CSS during that time. I received basic lesson from him so I am a bit better now but he is really good.

He provided me excellent quality of work designing 5 different front end main pages with various color schemas depicting various mood with amazing amount of details in all places.

I will now be independently working on back-end infrastructure and I am currently planning on the whole infrastructure although I have my idea fairly solid. I remember spending a whole semester designing the architecture in school when I was working on my senior project.

Although the group of 4 spent whole semester of designing basic architecture, we ran into various issues when writing codes for the actual product. I was the team leader of the group and it was very stressful to change the implementation all the time. I learned my lesson from that and I don't plan on quick rushing on this project =)

Anyways, due to his successful performance on my LuxuryMaster.net's front end UI work, I asked him to design the business card and look how it came! I can't upload the actual version of the card because it contains personal information but if you look at it carefully, you will be able to see transparent color scheme applied in different vertical layers and it is simply amazing!

If any of you are interested getting web hosting and design services for your business, I suggest you to contact him. You may visit his website Broad Sighted for more details.

Life Goes On: LuxuryMagic #12 - It's my turn to protect

I have decided to stop playing online poker for a while as I have found more joyful and meaningful things to do in my life. I haven't decided how I will spend the money I get from the withdrawal but I am sure I will figure something out =)

I purchased a book called "Real Estate Millionaire: Secret Strategies To Lifetime Wealth Today" by Dean Graziosi. I haven't had a chance to read much about the book it seemed interesting because it seems like anyone can possibly work on trading real estate properties because you don't have to have credit, or investment, or anything.

I also plan to work on my LuxuryMaster.net in the meantime and stay tuned for the updates on the site!

Life Goes On: LuxuryMagic #10 - Key to My Heart

My roommates designed above picture in the frame and gave it to me for my 24th birthday present. In the picture frame, it says 'carpe shipem'. It is a phrase from Latin meaning "seize the day" and living the moment in your life. I perceived the meaning of the word right when I heard from my roomate. However, I found myself not applying this beautiful message to my life until today.

Looking back and thinking about it, I don't think I have ever slept ever since I got into the college. Yesterday, I had a such a long sleep, when I woke up, my body felt extremely tired and everything seemed empty.



I have recently experienced overwhelming attention in my life that I have never desired for. I was extremely overwhelmed that I had a moment to give up everything in my life. However, I believe Jesus saved my life at my last moment because there are so many options available to you if you have made a decision to fold over yourself.

I have wondered why I have been chosen to go through this hard moment in my life and prayed to Jesus various times why I am going through this challenging flop on my life.






Today, I was working at my job as usual. Recently, I had overwhelming amount of work at my job all the sudden. Ironically, I got my daily tasks done a little early. I went to eat lunch, get some massage on my body, relaxed myself a bit, watched children playing around in the mall, watched beautiful sky, took a deep breath, and came back to work and thought about why I am working in the office at this moment. Everything I was responsible for was finished so why should I be in the office? Why can't I just go outside and whatever the hell I want?

I thought about myself and trying to figure out what I can do to enjoy in the meantime. I first figured out how I can possibly contribute my developers in the team by working extra amount of time which I got done fairly quickly. I honestly felt really good because I feel like I was finally be able to contribute something extra to the development team rather than working 8 hours straight, being lazy about myself, and just get things done like a machine.

I then forgot about work as I have no obligation or given tasks to continue. I then wondered what would be the first step to benefit more people other than people working in the office. Looking back and thinking about it, I had suffered so much in the past living on my own, working towards my future that I had always dreamed - best car, best job, beautiful girl friend, and etc. Those were so important to me and I had amazing amount of passion on various different things I enjoy in my life and I honestly felt it's reaching and I can accomplish that faster than other people. However, I decided to set all these aside and have a moment to think about what would be really is important in my life if I can only live a day.

I finally decided to accept myself that I desire a lot of different things in my life, instead of turning myself in a miserable mode and thinking about future life, I have decided to not to be sad about my life, worrying about tomorrow, or what the hell would happen if I do something. I simply decided to accept everything happening in my life and cope thorough with it regardless of the outcome.

I instantly felt extreme amount of stress going off of my brain and became happy. I am not sure if I will feel happy or sad tomorrow but since I am not a machine, I decided to forgive myself being sad, happy, or whatever but just stay positive on myself and use self discipline and patience not to lose self control.

I believe we all facet different types of challenging moments in our life and the question is how we perceive these different challenging moments in our life. I have decided to use my intuition to figure out what exactly is going on and deal positively instead of being negative and doubtful about myself, other people, or getting frustrated about the situation.



Just being careless about the current circumstance with controlled mind set was a simple key to my happiness. I strongly believe this is the soul that Jesus has given me while coping through my hard time and I will use my best judgment to protect this great freedom in my life so that I can truly 'carpe shipem' in my life with the people I love regardless of the law, money, perception of other people, and future life.

Life Goes On: LuxuryMagic #9 - Pursuit of Self Tranquility

I have been having this awesome art that I bought from the University of Colorado when I visited there for lunch. I hung it on the wall for a while but never paid attention to the message in the art. It says:

"The poor long for riches. The rich long for heaven but the wise desires tranquility"

Life Goes On: LuxuryMagic #8 - CU KSA Soccer and DMV Gorilla

I think everyone played great and I feel sorry that Jungbin got injured while playing. I promised to buy you guys dinner if you guys win the first game. The game got tied therefore no dinner out of pocket as I promised on our temporary Cyworld website! ㅋㅋㅋ

However, I promised Sung bin that I will treat you guys a dinner for sure if you win the entire tournament so you guys better keep up the good work ^^!

Now, the pictures I promised to post for Korean Students Association in the University of Colorado at Boulder:


- S. Korea vs. Indonesia


- 준모형 - KSA 회장님


- 3명의 유령 - 누가 누군지도 잘 모르겟다는.. -_-;


- 한솔 and ...죄송 이름이(?)알려주시면 고쳐드릴꼐요


- 인경 and 정빈


- 건영 and 성빈 (He went to Google with me!)

Let's have another blast on our upcoming NBA event in Denver Stadium!

I went to DMV in Denver and won this huge gorilla for a bit over 9,000 in a couple of hours of playing. I played the game where you can move the cursor vertically and horizontally and drop the grabber to catch the bottle, If you successfully do so, you get bunch of tickets printed out and I won it when I went there with my friends from the Korean Central Presbyterian Church. Fairly impressively big one with only about 2 hours of playing.

Life Goes On: LuxuryMagic #7 - LuxuryMaster's Life BluePrint: Long Term Positive Effects

I have been living my life like a mayfly ever since I came to this country. I have recently learned that what pulled my life together to make become what I am today is not because I am born with brain that surpasses others.

I have surely worked harder than other teenagers and went through challenging moments when I was young but I do not think that is exactly the cause of what makes LuxuryMaster today. As cocky as it seems, I feel extremely proud of myself.

I have had a lot of miracle experiences ever since I came to this country on 2000. I have always wondered what actually made LuxuryMaster so lucky in critical stages of my life.

I first thought it was because of people who have been supporting me but after opening my eyes on a lot of things on different things on positive way, I have learned that there is something non-existent entity that has been assisting me - Jesus.

Because of so many miracle happenings in critical stages when I was young, I feel like everyday I live on the continent is blessing to me. I now have no fear of losing anything in my life except people around me.

When I like to make friends or start relationships, I like to view attitude of person's friends to determine if I like to be friend with him/her. I believe it is a lot easier to tell someone's true heart as people can always can fake their true intention. However, looking at his/her friends will tell you a lot of his/her past experience and future life. I can't express how happy I feel once I have no expectation but just do what I love to do.

However, if I lose something in unrighteously, I like to use best of my abilities to fight. This is why I sometimes had to tell my good friends that I can either become your worst enemy or best friend.

I have finally figured out what exactly is "Meaning of Life" is on my heart. I have decided to devote my future brainstorming an idea and turn that into a technology that can potentially benefit millions of lives using technologies just like Google. I have decided to walk through my future career with Translations.com to accomplish this goal.

I think the reason why I applied to Google is because I had gained that envision on my heart by going through certain experiences and perceptions recently. I still feel we shared somewhat vision and I still love Google although they might not like me:)

I perceive my life is simple as this: accomplish something that can positively influence other people while doing something meaningful, technical, and beneficial to others while having fun doing it. This has became very clear to me recently. No anticipation of tomorrow or expectation of result, just live a day like a mayfly while having fun doing it - This is what I call Jesus's blessing and I feel like I have earned it.

I view myself as a mayfly that currently flies in low altitude but I believe some mayfly envisions to fly high altitude with strong determination and positive heart although it is currently flying low. Carpe diem - "seize the day"

Life Goes On: LuxuryMagic #6 - "Engineer Myself"

I went to one of the Google's luxury office in Boulder, CO (an office filled with rock climbing walls, buffet, guitar hero... and etc) for the full time software engineering position opportunity with Google on last Friday (October 17, 2008).

I solved the problem given and failed to make it more efficient although I received 'A' on the algorithm from Andrzej Ehrenfeucht. I went like “Huh? Binary Search?”. Well, I know what binary tree is and also know a couple of searching algorithms but it wasn't popping up on my head during that time. I wasn't trying to prove my aptitude in this interview so I guess it doesn't really matter as I am fully aware I am not much better than other recent college graduates in that sense.

My teacher on the CU algorithm class was Andrzej Ehrenfeucht from CS department. His lecture didn’t teach me anything much about the CS algorithms and all I did was just doing homework solving some greatest common divisor and some graphs... sign... However, he is one of the distinct professor from CU who doesnt get fired for not walking into the classroom without advanced notice and make all students waiting over 20-30 minutes. I am sure he had his own reasons but I wasn't too happy with it.

I think we are all smart in a lot of different ways and he wasn't extremely smart about his teaching and genius about his research when I was taking his course. I would understand if it was just once but it kept happening and I remember just not going to his class but still got through his course fairly successfully I think =)

I should have studied more about algorithm but my life was too busy to spend extra time into that. I really wish I had John R. Black because he also teaches algorithm and I learned heck a lot from his CS6000 level network security course when I was in CU.

What I have learned in the industry during a couple months is the realization of scalability and performance issues and how to troubleshoot the problems before they even arise and avoid putting myself in a DOO-DOO situation. I am still learning though I ironically had never ran into serious one to research to come up with one on my own =)

Dj Encore feat. Engelina - Open Your Eyes

You can't keep me holding on I've giving you some time
I can't make you come along if you don't share your mind
Every time you close your eyes I know you feel the same
Everything you try to fight is drowning in the rain

What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You got to let the sunshine through the rain
Open your eyes don't make me wait
You got to let the sunshine through the rain

TEll me why you turn away, whenever I believe
Finally you come to say I'm everything you need
Everytime you close your eyes I know you feel the same
Everything you try to fight is drowning in the rain

What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You got to let the sunshine through the rain
Open your eyes don't make me wait
You got to let the sunshine through the rain

I'm not asking of you, to give yourself away
I just want you to hear the words I say
It's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time
What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You got to let the sunshine through the rain
Open your eyes don't make me wait
You got to let the sunshine through the rain
