I have been playing around with writing a Mac OS X app for stock trading. I was granted access to the trade servers API of a major online broker. The stream server API uses a data byte stream to send chunks of data for quotes. I needed this to track the live trades in real time so my app could calculate if it should buy or sell. The problem was…

First you need to understand that when the notification is received on the device the operating system (OS) processes this data first and most of the time never calls your app code until you click the view button. The notification can contain a payload of data from…

Another joy of GoDaddy hosting. Have you ever tried to host an apk file to allow someone to install your Android application? Well on the GoDaddy Windows servers the file will always come up as not found. Well there is a fix. Just add a web.config file to your apk file directory with this text: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <configuration>     <system.webServer>         <staticContent>             <mimeMap fileExtension=”.apk”                 mimeType=”application/vnd.android.package-archive” />         </staticContent>     </system.webServer> </configuration>
