Example of using Here Geocoder API on Android

The simplest use of the Here Geocoder API is to search for an address using complete or partial address information in a single-line input field, the searchtext parameter. Any address information can be provided in the single input field, country, state, county, city, street, house number, or postal code.

You can try the example here:
http://geocoder.cit.api.here.com/6.2/geocode.xml?searchtext=425+W+Randolph+Street+Chicago&gen=7&app_id=DemoAppId01082013GAL&app_code=AJKnXv84fjrb0KIHawS0Tg

This example show how to parse the returned XML on Android.

Free ebook: Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms, Preview Edition

Free ebook, Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms, Preview Edition, is about writing applications for Xamarin.Forms, the new mobile development platform for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone unveiled by Xamarin in May 2014. Xamarin.Forms lets you write shared user-interface code in C# and XAML (the eXtensible Application Markup Language) that maps to native controls on these three platforms.

This free ebook (PDF and Mobi) can be downloaded HERE.

This ebook is a Preview Edition because it's not complete. It has only six chapters.

Example of using Here Map Tile REST API on Android

HERE Map Tile API is a RESTful API that retrieves map images for all regions of the world. To get a map image, formulate a request that combines the URL and a set of parameters to specify details such as position, format, zoom level, map type of the map image. You can embed the resulting map image in web pages and applications.

The Map Tile API serves map tiles obtained by mapping points on the surface of a sphere (the globe) to points on a plane, using the normalized Mercator projection.

It's a example of using HERE Map Tile REST API on Android (not Native SDK).

Android Application Development for the Intel Platform

The number of Android devices running on Intel processors has increased since Intel and Google announced, in late 2011, that they would be working together to optimize future versions of Android for Intel Atom processors. Today, Intel processors can be found in Android smartphones and tablets made by some of the top manufacturers of Android devices, such as Samsung, Lenovo, and Asus.

The increase in Android devices featuring Intel processors has created a demand for Android applications optimized for Intel Architecture: Android Application Development for the Intel® Platform is the perfect introduction for software engineers and mobile app developers. Through well-designed app samples, code samples and case studies, the book teaches Android application development based on the Intel platform—including for smartphones, tablets, and embedded devices—covering performance tuning, debugging and optimization.

Android Application Development for the Intel Platform

This book is jointly developed for individual learning by Intel Software College and China Shanghai JiaoTong University.

What you’ll learn

• Comprehensive introduction to the Intel ® Embedded and mobile hardware platform
• Android app GUI design principles and guidelines
• Covers the latest Intel Android development tools, including Intel Beacon Mountain version 0.6 and the Intel Compiler
• NDK and C/C++ optimization
• Designing and optimizing for low-power consumption

Who this book is for
The book is primarily for app developers, software engineers and open-source programming enthusiasts, but can also be used by for training programs and Codeacademy-style programs.

GUI Design for Android Apps

GUI Design for Android Apps is the perfect—and concise—introduction for mobile app developers and designers. Through easy-to-follow tutorials, code samples, and case studies, the book shows the must-know principles for user-interface design for Android apps running on the Intel platform, including smartphones, tablets and embedded devices.

This book is jointly developed for individual learning by Intel Software College and China Shanghai JiaoTong University, and is excerpted from Android Application Development for the Intel® Platform.

What you’ll learn

• Key aspects of why UI and UX design for embedded systems is different than for desktops
• Troubleshooting UI design issues
• Understanding how key concepts such as state transition, context class, and intent work
• How to use the interface app design tools provided by Android
• Planning for complex apps (apps with multiple activities)
• Optimizing app design for touch screen input

Who this book is for
The book is primarily for app developers, software engineers and open-source programming enthusiasts, but can also be used by for training programs and Codeacademy-style programs.

Load Here map image, using REST API

This example show how to load Here map image, using REST API (not Native SDK). HERE, a Nokia company, is a global leader in the mapping and location intelligence business.

The Here Map Image API Developer's Quick Start Guide provide information to help you start using the Map Image API.

app_id and app_code are authentication credentials. You can use the demo credentials in the examples for testing, but must substitute them with your own unique values in your website or application. See Acquiring Credentials for more information.

Map app HERE support Android devices now

HERE offers fast, accurate maps that are always ready to use, with or without an internet connection. Search for places, find routes and get turn-by-turn voice guidance wherever you are. Underground, on holiday, or even in the middle of nowhere: HERE just works, always.

Features

• Offline navigation: Interactive maps and turn-by-turn voice guidance are still available even without an internet connection.
• Maps to download and to use offline for nearly 100 countries.
• Public transport maps and directions for over 800 cities in over 40 countries, also when you’re offline.
• Live traffic info for more than 40 countries.
• Plan your journey on beta.here.com, then find your way there using your mobile.
• Personalise your map by creating Collections of your favourite places.
• Share your location with family and friends in real time as you go via Glympse. It’s private, secure and safe.

Please note that this is a beta version of the application that is stlil undergoing final testing. It is a known issue that using a cache cleaner on your phone may disable navigation voices. We're investigating and will release an update soon.

How Google Works

Google Executive Chairman and ex-CEO Eric Schmidt and former SVP of Products Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google over a decade ago as proven technology executives. At the time, the company was already well-known for doing things differently, reflecting the visionary--and frequently contrarian--principles of founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. If Eric and Jonathan were going to succeed, they realized they would have to relearn everything they thought they knew about management and business.

Today, Google is a global icon that regularly pushes the boundaries of innovation in a variety of fields. HOW GOOGLE WORKS is an entertaining, page-turning primer containing lessons that Eric and Jonathan learned as they helped build the company. The authors explain how technology has shifted the balance of power from companies to consumers, and that the only way to succeed in this ever-changing landscape is to create superior products and attract a new breed of multifaceted employees whom Eric and Jonathan dub "smart creatives." Covering topics including corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and dealing with disruption, the authors illustrate management maxims ("Consensus requires dissension," "Exile knaves but fight for divas," "Think 10X, not 10%") with numerous insider anecdotes from Google's history, many of which are shared here for the first time.

In an era when everything is speeding up, the best way for businesses to succeed is to attract smart-creative people and give them an environment where they can thrive at scale. HOW GOOGLE WORKS explains how to do just that.
