Anyway, thanks to the new 64-bit JVM and carbon being 32-bit only, ddms tool from the Android SDK stubbornly refused to start even after half an hour of tweaking the java params.

So I decided to go the hacky way (follow at your own risk):

1. download the cocoa 64 bit version of SWT SWT (update: corrected the link)
2. download the cocoa 64 bit versions of libswt-cocoa-3610.jnilib (download) and  libswt-pi-cocoa-3610.jnilib (download)  from  the swt 3.6M1 branch
3. now go inside the android sdk folder and inside the tools > lib folder substitute swt.jar, libswt-carbon-3236.jnilib and libswt-pi-carbon-3236.jnilib with the corresponding version you just downloaded, having care to rename the new ones to match the old filenames

Et voila, ddms running in 64 bit on Snow Leopard! Enjoy!

Android ddms cocoa 64 bit, seeing is believing

UPDATE: The new 1.6 r1 SDK is out and is using cocoa swt, but it is still trying to use the 1.5 JVM which is not working for me. The solution is pretty simple:

Edit the ddms script (in /sdk-path/tools/), find the following lines:

if [ `uname` = "Darwin" ]; then
os_opts="-XstartOnFirstThread"
#because Java 1.6 is 64 bits only and SWT doesn't support this, we force the usage of java 1.5
java_cmd="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/java"
else


and substitute with:

if [ `uname` = "Darwin" ]; then
os_opts="-XstartOnFirstThread -d64"
#because Java 1.6 is 64 bits only and SWT doesn't support this, we force the usage of java 1.5
# java_cmd="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/java"
java_cmd="java"
else


This way we use the default JVM (specified trough the Java Preferences.app) forcing the use of the 64bit version, with the -d64 (remove it to use the default or use -d32 to force 32bit)

now export a shell variable (I do it in ~/.profile, but you can put anywhere you please) to tell ddms where to find your custom swt.jar lib. Using bash:

export ANDROID_SWT="/path-to-custom-swt.jar/"

Of course the architecture of your swt must match the architecture of the JVM you are using. Currently I’m using the 64 bit 1.6 JVM with the 3.6M1 swt jar (get it here).

Fortunately I found a simple workaround on the inter-tubes:

• Download the closed source Dropbox Linux client from http://www.getdropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86 (x86_64 for 64 bit)
• Extract the contents and you should get a .dropbox-dist folder out of the archive. Move the folder to $HOME
• Run “~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd &” (without the quotes), wait a sec and you’ll get the config wizard.
• Now add the same “~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd &” to the session auto-start program list and your set!

What to do?? Write my own library: http://wiki.github.com/bigonazzi/kmlmmanager get it while its hot!

I don’t know exactly how GGeoXml works its magic (iframe?) but instead of reinventing the wheel© I decided to piggyback GGeoXml… at least until I find a better way to do it!

Vauro vs Gasparri

Un po’ di satira non ha mai fatto male a nessuno. Il fatto che un rappresentante del governo non l’accetti ma risponda ad una vignetta con minacce… ognuno giudichi per se (finche’ ancora si puo’!):

(AGI) – Roma, 13 feb. -ANNOZERO: GASPARRI, SANTORO E VAURO DUE VOLGARI SCIACALLI – “Santoro e il presunto comico Vauro sono due volgari sciacalli che vomitano insulti con le tasche piene di soldi dei cittadini. Gente cosi’ offende la verita’, alimenta odio e merita solo disprezzo totale della gente perbene. L’insulto e’ la loro regola. Colpa di gestori della Rai che per fortuna stanno per essere cacciati come meritano”.

Lo dichiara in una nota il presidente dei senatori del Pdl, Maurizio Gasparri, in riferimento alla puntata di ‘Anno Zero’ andata in onda ieri sera.

First I needed to install activerecord, easy:

sudo gem install activerecord

I used mac port to install mysql:

sudo port install mysql5 +server

now the triky part, installing the mysql gem. First download and modify the mysql gem:

sudo gem install mysql

this will fail. Now you need to navigate to the gem cache dir:

cd /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache

then unpack the gem

sudo gem unpack mysql-2.7.gem

cd mysql-2.7

with your favourite editor add this line to mysql.c.in

#define ulong unsigned long

now rebuild the gem and install it

sudo gem build mysql.gemspec

sudo mv mysql-2.7.gem ../mysql-2.7-CUSTOM.gem

Almost there, we need to install our shiny-new gem:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS=”-arch i386″ gem install mysql-2.7-CUSTOM.gem — \

–with-mysql-config=/opt/local/bin/mysql_config5

Ok, all is done (u might need to install some missing parts) now all you need to do is to add some requires to your script and remember to always establish a connection before using any ActiveRecord resources:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘active_record’

…

dbConfig = {“adapter” => “sqlite3″, “dbfile” =>  ‘./file.db’}

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(dbConfig)

…

class Stuff < ActiveRecord::Base

…

Hope somebody finds this usefull!

Google recently removed Firefox from the Google Pack bundle, replaced it with Chrome, then added a direct download link for Chrome on Google and YouTube. Google’s decision to list IE6 as an unsupported Gmail browser does not affect just consumers: Tens of thousands of small- and mid-sized businesses that run Google Apps hosted services may dump IE6 as well. What’s especially interesting is the fact that Mozilla is picking up two out of three browser users that Microsoft surrenders.”
