[News] Google closes Android developer complaint forums

Oleh
Google is shutting down the Marketplace forums which have, until now, required Android developers to resolve their problems in public and without much in the way of official support.Developers who have questions about the Android Marketplace are now being asked to submit those questions directly to Google – hopefully soliciting a decent reply rather than the stony silence which has greeted the various problems aired on the public forums which are being shut down.

Typical of those was the missing payments: developers weren't receiving money owed on web sales, and ranted and raved on the public forum, which was the only platform for complaint available to them. That issue has now been resolved, and everyone has been paid the money owed to them, but not before the problem had been very publicly dissected and discussed.


Which may be one of the reasons behind Google's decision to start talking to developers directly:
"We feel that one-on-one support is best for the types of threads that have historically been posted to this forum by app developers," says the company's posting, which also explaining that ongoing issues will remain open until solved, but new problems should be raised directly with Google.

One might view this as Google trying to avoid embarrassingly public discussions of Marketplace problems, but it is equally likely that the time when problems could be resolved by one's peers has passed. When the Android Marketplace was launched, lots of people needed help understanding how it worked and how to use it, and peers could often provide that support. These days the basics are widely understood so the remaining problems are more likely to require Google's intervention.

That optimistic conclusion can only be borne out if Google does respond to direct questions rapidly and usefully. The utility of Google's responses won't be public any more, but we'll keep talking to developers and be sure to let you know how the situation evolves.

WhatsAppSniffer Hack WhatsApp

Oleh
Who uses WhatsApp Messenger? From The look of the  Play Store listing , a  damn lot  of people. Considering it's so popular, it's probably a pretty secure app, right? Think again. WhatsApp actually sends all chats in  plaintext , so anyone on the same Wi-Fi network can easily pull your entire conversation - including pictures and videos - straight out of the air. And now, that process is even easier than ever thanks to a new app called  WhatsAppSniffer . It's basically just a packet sniffer, but it makes the process of pulling WhatsApp chats out of the sky stupid-easy, and that's never a good thing. You might as well just shout your private conversations across the room.

[Concept] Model View Present (MVP) Pattern for Architecture Android~ DroidUMM

Oleh
 Model-View-Presenter (MVP) is an architecture pattern for the presentation layer of software applications. The pattern was originally developed at Taligent in 1990s and first was implemented in C++ and Java. In MVP, the View and the Model are neatly separated and the View exposes a contract through which the Presenter access the portion of View that is dependent on the rest of the system.  [Next Article Implement MVP on Android] The Model is the component which preserves data, state and business logic; it just exposes a group of service interfaces to Presenter and hides the internal details. The View is the user interface, it receives user’s action and contract to Presenter to achieve user’s need, and then the View responds user by result information. The Presenter sits in between the View and the Model; it receives input from the View and passes commands down to the Model. It then gets result and updates the View trough the contracted View interface.

[App] Papyrus Android Note

Oleh
As part of my job, I spend a lot of time in meetings with potential customers, and taking lots and lots of hand-written notes. My problem has been that I’ve had to use a physical book and never had an easy way of taking electronic hand-written notes. Until now.
