Build Your Own Android Application

Halu halu halu!!

Pekabar pembaca2 sekalian? Sihat tak korang rini? Harap2 sihat la sentiasa..aku ok je cambese..assignment mula dah nak berlambak dan berbungkus. Petang tadi ada karnival sukan kat uni. Meriah la jugak even hujan lebat sekejap tadi. Actually, frust jugak la tak dapat provide gambar2 menarik sebab aku tak bawak camera gi event tu tadi. :(

So..untuk entry kali ni aku nak menghebahkan la pasal Appinventor dari Google. Appinventor ni adalah seperti berikut:

"application provided by that allows anyone
to create software applications for the Android OS"

See? Feature yang agak menarik disediakan oleh Google. Android OS adalah operating system dari Google berdasarkan Linux. Cara tradisional programmer nak buat software biasanya dorang wat pakai coding bagai.

Tapi dengan Google App Inventor korang boleh buat software korang sendiri secara drag n drop gitu. Aku dah cuba dah buat 2 tutorial and my conclusion is this is supposed the way to create application..so easy..seriusly. Mula2 buat interface then setting aturcara program korang. Thats it!

Ni antara screen cap App Inventor:






















-buat interface dulu-























-then wat aturcara dalam block editor-

Jadi, kepada sapa2 yang ada Android phone ni try la. Kelebihannya adalah korang boleh connect phone terus ke PC. Masa korang edit2 tu nanti korang akan nampak application tu running real-time kat phone korang. Serius cool. Takyah compile lagi dah boleh tengok running application. Pastu, kalau2 korang dapat buat application gempak2 manala taw le letak dalam app market. Leh jual dan dapat untung..ngee~~

So, apa tunggu lagi. Jom explore App Inventor

How Do I Do It: Make Bootable USB Flash Drive

So, you already got Windows installation disc or setup but you're using netbook which is CD/DVD drive is not available. I'm sure you'll wondering how to setup a fresh installation of Windows into you netbook especially when you also doesn't have external CD/DVD drive.

This kind of situation also happened to me before when I want to install WinXP into my netbook. However, I sure you got yourself a pendrive/flash drive(whichever you wanna call it). You can make your pendrive bootable(able to boot from pendrive rather than hard drive). Here's how I do it.

Requirements:
-windows installation files
-pendrive(4GB recommended)
-netbook/pc that support boot from usb flash drive

Steps:
1. Download WinToFlash here.
2. Extract it and run the .exe file.
3. Upon running, you'll see windows like this
4. You can follow the wizard to guide you or you also can select "Advanced Mode" to continue but, for sake of simpleness, I will use wizard mode.
5. Press the big-green-write-mark and you'll come to this section. Selecting source and target. Point to windows installation folder or drive(Windows files path). After that, point to your USB drive.
5. Click next and it will make everything for you. From format, install loader, copy files..everything ;)
6. After that, continue try to boot from flash drive. Remember to select boot from USB Flash Drive. Press F9 during POST.

P/s: Need to remember this though, formatting/installing from USB Flash Drive is hell lot slower than using CD/DVD. So, if you got budget or if you a technician, please do yourself a favor, buy external USB DVD Drive :)
