LG LM9600 is Finally Here!

LG LM9600

The LG LM9600 made headlines in the tech-savvy community with the introduction of its LM9600 series, unveiled at the 2012 CES this past January. The LM9600 boasts the thinnest bezel of any full-array LED to date, measuring a mere 1 mm. Of course, it’s not just the thin frame and trendy chrome design that have gained attention, but also the LM9600’s full range of features such as built-in Wi-Fi support, Smart TV with Voice-Controlled Magic Motion Remote, and improved 2D to 3D conversion.

Though LG put out several models last year (2011) that incorporated the same basic passive 3D technology, the newly-released models have better picture quality and added menu options, giving the viewer more control over their 3D viewing experience and how much “depth” the picture has.

Even though the LM9600 did not officially win any awards at the 2012 CES (losing out to the LG 55EM9600 OLED, which snagged “Best of Show”) many netizens unofficially named the model one of the conference’s top picks. The LG 47LM9600 (46-inch) and LG 55LM9600 (55-inch) were released this month while the 84-inch will be due late October. I found a great review of the TV here: http://www.gosugadget.com/2012/03/2012-lg-lm9600-55-inch-review-by-tvgosu.html

iPhone 5 Screen Size

Posted by muamar Minggu, 13 Mei 2012 0 komentar

Screens are getting bigger on smartphones and this is no small part thanks to the Android manufactures who seem to go by the philosophy - bigger is better, even though huge screen (5 inches, really?) aren't that needed. If you really have a need for so many different medias such as video, then why not get a tablet? Settling for some sort of in between option is never a good idea in life, so why settle for it when it comes to your devices? Even so, Apple is losing market share as possible buyers choose other options over their iPhone because of the screen size. This time around, it seems that Apple wants to put their foot down and get back on the leader role on market.

Leaked render of the possible iPhone 5 screen

For this reason, the old 3.5 inch screen size may soon be replaced with a 4.6 inch screen. A huge change to Apple's legacy and what Steve Jobs used to tell us? Perhaps, but maybe this new change is better. Fans of Apple's products will probably not mind the bigger screen sizes, and if they stated their disappointment then Apple could easily come up with a 3.5 inch model of the product as well. One of the more interesting things is that the new screen size would certainly bring a brand new design that would step away from the classic minimalism design of the iPhone we are used to. So what will the iPhone 5 look like, any ideas? Well, only a few...

What Users Think of the iPhone 5 Screen Size

The general opinion is that while it there isn't any harm to getting a larger screen, it really isn't that big of deal to get it in the first place. A majority of users, however, do wish to go for a 4 inch screen and think the iPhone 5 should certainly feature it. Those who don't want a 4 to 4.6 inches screen size should still be able to get the smaller version, it's not rocket science Apple! But when you think about it, the 4 inch screen does make a lot of sense. It will give you more options and still not be too bulky or large. Fans of the older 3.5 inch size would easily get used to it and the transition wouldn't be so hard.

Another important side note should be the design, the iPhone 4S really looked like the previous model and didn't bring anything new to the distinguish it from the others. The iPhone 5 must come with a new and improved design with more variety, but still keep to its old elegant and familiar tradition.

What do you think? What size do you want the phone to have?

Handling Screen Orientation - Part 2

Posted by muamar Minggu, 12 Juni 2011 0 komentar

How to handle rotation?

Now if you choose to rotate your activity with display either specifying “rotate as sensor” or using “orientation setting” you must handle the steps that are taken when the display is rotated.

Whenever the window rotates, your activity is destroyed and recreated, and “onCreate(Bundle)” is executed again.

You may need to save the activity state before this happens. To achieve that you can override the

public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState)

For Example: You may want to save the Value of a String array before screen orientation change restarts your activity.

To do this override the onSaveInstanceState method of Activity class like this:

public class SampleActivity extends Activity{

String[] testArray = null;

public static final String TEST_ARRAY = “KEY_FOR_ARRAY”;

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle State){

if(State != null){

testArray =

State.getStringArray(SampleActivity.TEST_ARRAY);

}

else{

testArray = new String[6];

}

@Override

public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outstate){

outstate.putStringArray(SampleActivity.TEST_ARRAY,

testArray);

}

Otherwise your activity will use the default implementation of this function which saves some amount of state.

Some of the values that you can save before orientation change are as follows:

Serializable and its subclasses.
String
Parcelable and its Subclasses
boolean, int, float.
Arrays etc.

However you may not want to store the values because this may slow down your application you can attain faster screen orientation by caching the data before orientation changes.

Your activity can cache data before rotation this can be accomplished by overriding

public Object onRetainNonConfigurationInstance()

Let’s take the above example again but instead of saving the String array we’ll cache the data and retrieve reference to that after restart.

public class SampleActivity extends Activity{

String[] testArray = null;

public static final String TEST_ARRAY = “KEY_FOR_ARRAY”;

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle State){

testArray = (String[])getLastNonConfigurarionInstance();

if(testArray == null)

testArray = new String[6];

}

@Override

public Object onRetainNonConfigurationInstance(){

return testArray;

}

Change orientation at runtime

You can use Activity.setRequestedOrientation() from your activity to set that orientation

e.g. setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

if you do not use this the default value is SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED and you must not specify any orientation in Applications manifest XML. And each time orientation is changed the activity is stopped and restarted.

Check orientation settings

You can query the orientation settings for device using

public static int myOrient;

myOrient = this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

this function will return either of the following values:

ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE or ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT, it can also return ORIENTATION_SQUARE on a square device.

Handling Screen Orientation - Part 1

Posted by muamar 0 komentar

Sometimes or I may say many times user will want to rotate the screen – this may be because user wants to view the app in landscape mode, or user wants to type something using on-screen keyboard.

If user rotates the device from portrait to landscape, your app must rotate with it or must handle the change elegantly, but the question is how??

So let’s begin exploring the answer to this question….

First of all let us understand the concept of rotation and how you can set the behavior in your Android powered device.

On your device’s home screen go to press “MENU” key and go to “SETTINGS” menu and then go to “DISPLAY SETTINGS” You will see the “Orientation/ Auto-rotate screen” option somewhat like this.

Note: Location may change based on the Android OS version.

When this option is unchecked, then screen display changes from portrait to landscape if the on – screen keyboard is open and back to portrait when it is closed but nothing happens when user actually rotates the device.

With this setting on screen display always changes when keyboard is open and when user changes the device orientation.

Now let’s see how you can handle this change in your application, there are three things that you must do in your application:

1. You should always create layouts that can handle orientation and should always create separate layouts for portrait and landscape modes; we’ll see how you can do this later.

2. Then set the orientation behavior in the Application’s manifest file.

3. Then handle the rotation by handling appropriate events in your code.

Now let’s start with these points.

Creating layouts that can handle rotation

Now with this I mean that your layout should be able to adjust itself whenever some change like this happens, it’ll be better if your application can provide different layouts for different orientations.

Wherever possible choose from the layouts which adjust to the orientation changes:

LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, or TableLayouts are some of the layouts that that adjust for screen changes, but it might not be a good way because the screen designed for portrait mode might not work for landscape mode and vice versa, so, it’s better to have different layouts for both the modes.

These specialized layouts for Portrait and Landscape modes go in Separate specialized folders “res/layout” for Portrait mode and “res/layout-land” for landscape mode, you can also on similar lines have separate folders for drawables as well.

Setting rotation behavior in Application’s manifest file

This only involves adding one parameter “android:screenOrientation” in <activity> tag in your manifest XML for each activity that must handle rotation.

If you omit this parameter default will be whatever you have set in “DISPLAY SETTINGS” i.e.whatever is “Auto-rotate screen/Orientation” setting. This actually has some benefits listed as below:

1. If your application uses intents to call some other application views, then, using Orientation settings your app user will not have to turn device to move to that view and turn back to move to your app.

2. User is free to choose orientation behavior, more preferable by most users.

3. Makes your app more compatible with wide array of Android devices.

Setting this parameter as “android:screenOrientation=”unspecified”” or “android:screenOrientation=”user” will also have the same effect as not specifying at all

If you set this parameter as “android:screenOrientation=”sensor”” this will mean that display will always rotate when the device is turned or the on-screen keyboard is opened or closed, irrespective of “Orientation” settings.

If you set this parameter as “android:screenOrientation=”portrait”” or “landscape” your activity will remain in one orientation even if the device is rotated or on-screen keyboard is opened or closed. You’ll also not have to worry about layouts that adjust to orientation changes or handle roation in your code.
