Last.FM for Windows Mobile

Honey Singh — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:38:10 +0000

After the successful launch of Last.fm for your iPhone ,”Pocket Scrobbler“, an unofficial client for Windows Mobile devices, supporting scrobbling using various media players and featuring (limited) radio capabilities on Pocket PCs is launched.Their is also a cab file which i tested for my windows mobile 6( Htc-Touch ).

Their is so much demand of windows mobile (wm) version and finally Last.FM has released a version of their service that integrates nicely with the Windows Mobile family of devices. As i told earlier this new package functions as an App, instead of simply a mobile version of the web interface, and includes their popular scrobbling feature.

What is Scrobbler?

Scrobbler is a software which detects the tracks you’re listening to and adds them to your online profile on Last.FM.It basically uses plugins for various types of music listening software, such as Winamp, foobar, Windows Media Player etc .

Who support Scrobbler?

The app is supported mostly by the user community, who tells us that it works on Windows Mobile 5 or 6 and the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 (usually included on WM 6). This latest move by Last.FM, in almost every aspect, continues to show that the spirit that founded the company is alive and well, despite working for the CBS Overlords now. They’re still in the business of getting their application working with just about every platform in existence, and making your profile usable and viewable from everywhere.

You can grab the software from the Last.fm Forum or download a version direct from here:

Last.fm Mobile for Pocket PC
Last.fm Mobile for Smartphone

How to build an Android applications in 5 min

Honey Singh — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:17:30 +0000

Recently i’m walking through the a demo video by Dan Morrill who builds a simple application on the Android platform.He is a member of google developer program and explain the following thing in the first cut of making applications for android

It is very easy to builds applications for android
Application are developed using android sdk (Download the SDK )

How to make a simple application for android ?

Go to SDK under the menu of file>project>android project.
Decide the details of application like Package name /Activity name / Application name.
After filling the details just “Finish” it.
This will create a source directory in right side with the name of “src” menu (java directory)

In the similar way you can create lots of applications from simple to advance for example if you want to develop an application to dial a phone.

How to create an application to dial a phone with xml base file (layout) ?

Go to the source file of you hello code (described above) you may change the hello word into any thing for example name.

Copy this source into the xml editor and create different class (e.g Class.Activity)

Now in order to get access to data follow these logic commands

>import android.app.ListActivity;
>import android.database.Cursor;
>import android.os.Bundle;
>import android.provider.Contacts.People;

Now you will create mapping which tell us “which column map to which user interface element)
Go and map the person name to row activity
Map the data from data source to user interface that will display things
Decide the methods like “when user click on interface then particular activity occurs” e.g start activity
Make the options if user need permission to access the database
Make the options to request for permission using commands READ_CONTACTS and CALL_PHONE

Note: The main benefit of developing application on android is the ease of coding and size of codes
The details video describing all the above facts and methods is here
