Today I updated my HTC Magic to Android 2.1. I’m suprised how easy it is to update the phone. I decided to install the OpenEclair ROM.
It works very well

It’s very simple to rotate a PdfContentByte element with iText. Sadly, bad documented.
BaseFont baseFontHelvetica = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, "Cp1252", false); PdfTemplate template = pdfContentByte.createTemplate(250, 200); template.beginText(); template.setFontAndSize(baseFontHelvetica, 12); template.showText("iText rotation"); template.endText(); float rotate = 90; float x = 300; float y = 0; float angle = (float)(-rotate * (Math.PI / 180)); float xScale = (float)(Math.cos(angle)); float yScale = (float)(Math.cos(angle)); float xRote = (float)(-Math.sin(angle)); float yRote = (float)(Math.sin(angle)); pdfContentByte.addTemplate(template, xScale, xRote, yRote, yScale, x, y);
URL url = new URL("URL"); BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream()); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("PATH/FILENAME"); BufferedOutputStream bout = new BufferedOutputStream(fos,1024); byte data[] = new byte[1]; while (in.read(data, 0, 1) >= 0) { bout.write(data); } bout.close(); in.close();
A friend of mine asked me this week how to read a file with different encoding. You can use the InputStreamReader. To read a file with a different encoding, you just have to specify the encoding in the constructor.
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("FILENAME"); InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fis, "UTF-8"); BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(isr); b.readLine();
Use this to check which encodings are avaiable on your system.
SortedMap<string, Charset> avaiableCharsets = Charset.availableCharsets(); for(String charset:avaiableCharsets.keySet()) { System.out.println(charset); }
Nice video preview about the upcoming jdk7. I especially like the new Modularization features.
