Android NDK + Eclipse + Windows = Headache!

Whew! Just spent an “interesting” hour or two trying to get some native android code working under Eclipse on Windows… Although this isn’t the first time I’ve used the NDK, it’s the first time I’ve tried to get it working with Eclipse on the Windows (+Cygwin) platform. To borrow an unrelated phrase from elsewhere, it’sContinue reading “Android NDK + Eclipse + Windows = Headache!”

Deelang – First file release available to download

I’m also working on extracting a simple sample project that will also go in the repository, whichContinue reading “ORMDroid on Google Code”

Introducing ORMDroid

Another year, another blog… Actually, I’ve been out of the blogging cycle for a year or two now, as I’ve just been too busy with work to really dedicate any time to open source and my own projects, but a recent (positive!) change in my work schedule means I’m now back and able to investContinue reading “Introducing ORMDroid”
