Android: Create shortcut to sub-menu in Settings

Image
I have to switch Wi-Fi all the time at my customer site to connect to internet. It takes time to open Settings and then Wi-Fi instead of open Wi-Fi menu directly. So, I prefer to create a shortcut into my Home screen straight. Suppose that in Honeycomb version you just press anywhere in Home screen, there will be the context menu for you to create shortcut. Unfortunately in Ice Cream Sandwich, it doesn't work like that. I used to install "Go Launcher EX" to help that but I found out later that in ICS also support this action as well by looking for shortcut in Widgets. Environment O/S: Android Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4 Device: Samsung Galaxy S III Open "Application Drawer" from the dock menu. Select "Widgets" tab. Slide to left or right until you found "Settings Shortcut 1 x 1". Long press at the widget and drag to Home screen. There will be the pop-up sub-menu list, slide up or down to find the sub-menu th

Android: Create group for icons

You may accustom with group of icons in iPhone that is created just by dragging icon of an application over the other. Here in ICS calls "Folder". It works a bit different in ICS. Without installing other application you can use ICS function to create.

Select "Add to Home screen" in the "Home screen" pop-up. In "Add to Home screen" pop-up, select "Folder". The system will create empty folder into the Home screen. Now you can drag icons into the folder that you just created. When you click at the folder, it will show the icons you just added. You can click at "Unnamed Folder" and assign the folder name.

Mobile: Capture screen for Samsung Galaxy S3

As far as I know, there are 2 ways to perform the screen capture. Environment : O/S: Android ICS version 4.0.4 Device: Samsung Galaxy S III Option 1 : Swipe your palm from right to left of the screen. This option is very fast to capture the screen. but it's kind of annoy when your hand accidentally press an icon or menu, scrolling the screen or unable to capture the pop-menu. Option 2 : Press "Home" button and "Power" button simultaneously . It's good to capture exactly what is showing in the current screen. Reference:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ7jiaC4Zc8

Android: Disconnect auto upload picture to Google+

Image
When you get new Android mobile and start register your Gmail account, Android will synchronize all the applications that you have been registered with Google. The scary thing is if you happened to share mobile folder in Picasa, which is now Google+, all the photo that you take from your new mobile will be uploaded to the world as well. To stop auto-upload, need to follow these steps in the hidden menu. Environment: O/S: Android ICS 4.0.4 Device: Samsung Galaxy SIII Go in to "Settings" menu. Look for "Accounts and sync" and select this menu. Select your Google account. Uncheck "Sync Picasa Web albums". The mobile will not sync your picture every time you take a photo.

Oracle: Create MVIEW using DBLINK with COMMIT COMPLETE option

Image
I'm using MVIEW (Materialized Views) to select data from another database through DBLINK and set schedule to refresh daily. The problem came when my user commented that they need the data from the source database faster. So, my team tried to set MVIEW with COMMIT COMPLETE option to get the data from source table immediately whenever the data is updated. I found that IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to use this option through DBLINK as Oracle doesn't have mechanism to let MVIEW knows that there is a change. Therefore, MVIEW will not activate to pull the data from the source. The other solution that I might have to use is to set schedule to be hourly updating instead. At least, for now until I find the better way.
