GitHub

I just decided to host my application code on GitHub. It's not a public repository, but I'll probably be spinning utility code out of my application into an open source library at some point. This library will be publicly hosted on GitHub. I'll announce it here when it's available.

I just found a very nice website selling icon sets. It's called Dryicons. If you need some professional looking icons and other art for your application or website, check it out.

Unit Testing on Android

So the DalvikVM has poor support for automated object mocking a la jmock and others. By "poor support," I mean no support for mocking anything other than Interfaces. That's just not very useful.

The solution is to do your unit tests in Sun's VM and then do functional and integration tests in the DalvikVM later. This article has some good details.

So I have an intersting idea for an Android app.

I have at least one interesting idea for an Android application. I'd love to share the idea here, but I'm hoping to earn some money from it. I can't wait until I get to unveil it for you all!
