I just got a Sandisk Wireless Flash and mainly for storing up videos that I can watch on my mobile device (mine one is Samsung S3 and Tab 3) anytime.
However, when I tried to watch rmvb and mkv, a message pop up and it said 'your Android device cannot view this type of file.'
Even I did try the Realplayer Cloud that the Sandisk recommends this approach, I cannot see my Sandisk device under the Realplayer Cloud with following steps:
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10539/~/playing-videos-that-are-not-natively-supported-by-your-mobile-device
When I almost gave up, an idea came into my mind. How about if I rename the file type into avi that Android native support?
Then, it is just that simple. Rename the file type!
example 1:
rename video1.rmvb to video.avi
example 2:
rename video2.mkv to video.avi
(mp4 also works)
Yes, that's it. Now, we can click on the video file you renamed and Android now allows you to pick what video player in your device to play it.
Lastly, of course, you need to install a video player, that is able to play the particular video format, into your device beforehand.
I am using MX player if you want know what works for me.

Angularjs - number only input directives
app.js:
app.directive('numberOnly', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
require: 'ngModel',
scope: {
ngModel: '='
},
link: function (scope) {
scope.$watch('ngModel', function(newValue,oldValue) {
var arr = String(newValue).split("");
if (arr.length === 0) return;
if (arr.length === 1 && (arr[0] == '-' || arr[0] === '.' )) return;
if (arr.length === 2 && newValue === '-.') return;
if (isNaN(newValue)) {
scope.ngModel = oldValue;
}
});
}
};
});
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 0;
});
app.directive('numberOnly', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
require: 'ngModel',
scope: {
ngModel: '='
},
link: function (scope) {
scope.$watch('ngModel', function(newValue,oldValue) {
var arr = String(newValue).split("");
if (arr.length === 0) return;
if (arr.length === 1 && (arr[0] == '-' || arr[0] === '.' )) return;
if (arr.length === 2 && newValue === '-.') return;
if (isNaN(newValue)) {
scope.ngModel = oldValue;
}
});
}
};
});
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 0;
});
html:
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<input type="text" ng-model="name" number-only/>
</body>
That's it and simple.

Angularjs ng-grid : rowItem.rowIndex not map to the index of data array after sorting. (with solution)
I found that the rowIndex will no longer map to the index of the data array if sorting is applied.
Lastly, I found a way to locate the index of data array even after sorting is applied by using rowMap and the syntax like this:
$scope.gridOptions.ngGrid.rowMap.indexOf(rowItem.rowIndex);instead of just using rowItem.rowIndex.
however, this is not officially documented.
So, beware that there is any changes in the future updates/patches of the ng-grid.
updated on 05 Feb 2014
With further studies, I found that selectedItems may serves the same purpose only when the multiSelect equals to false. So, it won't work exactly the same if you require the grid with multiSelect:true.

windows 7 setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.
I was installing windows 7 on a machine that already was installed an Operation system on C: drive.
And I planned to install the windows 7 on a new raw hard drive with Basic type partition.
When it asked for which disk for this installation, I got this error "unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition" when I picked the new hard drive.
After I read a few threads on the internet, I found that "Disable C: drive boot up" in Bios, then it allowed me this installation again.

Android - CookieSyncManager to prevent Webview lost session after Pause Resume
By adding CookieSyncManager onCreate of Activity and also on corresponding events like onPause and onResume, taking care my session ID for the PHP server when the Activity/WebView reloads.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(this);
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().startSync();
WebView myWebView = ((WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview));
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().stopSync();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
}
}
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(this);
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().startSync();
WebView myWebView = ((WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview));
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().stopSync();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
}
}
Android - prevent webview reload if screen rotate
I found there are some method to prevent this happen, may be it's all about the API level to work with.
Anyway, I'm working on Android 3.2 + and API level 13. Adding the following declaration in Manifest works prefect.

Android - passing WebView cookie to HttpURLConnection
Since I needed to use WebView and session was created in the server side by PHP when login by WebView, cookie is required to pass into the HttpURLconnection for getting the InputStream later, which I mentioned in my previous posts, download PDF in WebView.
The code finally is not too complicated, however, it used me up almost a whole day to figure out how it works.
Before downloading the PDF, get the cookie by CookieManger as below:
private class DownloadPDF extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... sUrl) {
try {
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
String cookie = cookieManager.getCookie(new URL(sUrl[0]).getHost());
//or String cookie = cookieManager.getCookie("www.example.com");
URL url = new URL(sUrl[0]);
File myDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).toString()+"/myPDF");
if (!myDir.exists()) myDir.mkdirs();
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
//Then, set cookie to the connection by setRequestProperty
connection.setRequestProperty("Cookie",cookie);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.connect();
...
//rest of code mentioned in previous post for downloading a PDF file which is generated by TCPDF on server side.
...
}
So, basically, only 3 lines of code and get this done!
