Samsung Mobile SDKFiled Under: Programming

I recently got a Samsung Omnia phone and I love this thing.  Then I decided to play around with .NET programming for windows mobile and decided to write a small alarm app using the accelerometer.  The problem was, there was hardly any code about using the accelerometer.  That is until I stumbled upon the SDK for Samsung Mobile Phones.  The one catch was, it is written in C++, with DLL wrappers written in C#, no VB.  So I took the C# wrapper code and converted it over to VB.NET and included it in my application.

shared.vb
acceleromoter.vb

In order to use these files, you will need to download the Samsung Mobile SDK from http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/

Here is an example on how to use the code:

        If Accelerometer.GetVector(AccVec) = SamsungMobileSdk.SmiResultCode.Success Then
                Dim x,y,z as integer
                x = AccVec.x
                y = AccVec.y
                z = AccVec.z
        end if

Gadsden Wifi, part 3Filed Under: General, Programming, Projects, Web Development

Here is a quick update on the Gadsden Wifi project.

• Aquired Gadsdenwifi.org (thanks http://www.brandonrome.net for the logo)
• The database structure is complete and the import software is 70% complete.
• The backend programming will begin after the database is complete.

Few things I have learned:

• Binary Searching
• Minimizing database calls (atleast on SELECT statements)
• Basics of Multi-Threading applications.
• Basics of Google Maps API
