Some form-based applications need to continuously monitor for text changes to perform the front-end form validations. This can be achieved by implementing the android.text.TextWatcher interface. The TextWatcher interface provides the following three callback methods, that are called while the text view is being updated.

When developing mobile Android and iOS applications, the user experience is often more important than what your application actually offers. A quick and very easy enhancement you can implement in your application is in the realm of form validation. Best practice says that you should always validate user inputted data via the back-end and I agree. However, by validating via the front-end as well, it can make improvements to your user experience.

I was recently lucky enough to get to attend my first SIGGRAPH conference this year. While I didn’t attend any talks, I did spend some time in the expo. Here is a collection of some of the neat things I saw at SIGGRAPH 2015. Sorry it’s not more collected; I didn’t have the intention of writing a blog post until after folks kept asking me “how was it?

The volatile nature of tech companies makes them better suited to equity funding as opposed to debt. Equity is high-risk capital: owners are exposed to the upside of growth (you stand to make a lot of money), but also the downside of failure (you stand to lose everything you put in). Debt is not: how much risk is there to the lender when the borrower guarantees a return?

When you write your first web application, chances are you’re going to query a database. When you write it in PHP, chances are it’ll look like this: $mysqli = new mysqli("example.com", "user", "password", "database"); $result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM product"); $row = $result->fetch_assoc(); Before long, you have to start handling user input, which means escaping: $mysqli = new mysqli("example.com", "user", "password", "database"); Read more.

Cross-posted at Medium. This post is about vendor prefixes, why they didn’t work, and why it’s toxic not to be able to launch experimental features. Also, what to do about it. Vendor prefixes are a very sore topic , and one where I’ve disagreed with the overwhelming consensus. In the heat of the ‘11–12 debate (“prefixpocalypse”) I tried to outline a hierarchy of the web platform needs: Meeting developer & user experience needs with new features.

If you’ve been keeping up with my blog and tutorials, you’ll know that I’ve done quite a few posts on Ionic Framework. I’ve been hearing a lot about React Native lately so I figured it is time to give it a shot. There are 6,500 languages and roughly seven billion people in the world. Chances are your native language is only known by a small piece of the global population.

I’m always trying to add more flair to the mobile applications that I develop whether it be through slick user interfaces or graphics. For a while now I’ve wanted to mess around with charts in my mobile applications, but it kept getting pushed to my development back-burner. I decided to push myself to give it a shot. Using Ionic Framework to build mobile Android and iOS applications, you’re left with a few possibilities for adding charts because so many JavaScript libraries exist.

I recently picked up an iPad Air 2 to replace my ancient Android tablet. My first serious iOS device since my iPod Touch. A feature that I’m really growing to love on my iPad Air 2 is the touch id functionality for signing into the device and various applications. How do we incorporate this touch id functionality into our own iOS applications? More importantly, how do we do this in Ionic Framework ?
