Ogone Launches In-App Payment Library For iOS And Android

From techcrunch.com - July 2, 2012 2:26 PM

It seems that there’s no shortage of companies queuing up to help developers integrate payments into their mobile apps and today that space just got a little more crowded: Ogone, a long time player in online payments, has launched an in-app payment library for iOS and Android.

The new library complements the company’s existing mobile web-based payment system meaning that app developers who rely on Ogone to process payments no longer need to redirect users to the browser in order to take a payment — presuming that they don’t fall foul of Apple’s tight grip on in-app purchases for digital goods.

Speeding up Android development with Android-x86 and VirtualBox

From brunocosta.com - November 11, 2011 5:37 AM

I’m starting to learn how to develop to Android and so far to me the only downside of the whole dev environment is the painfully slow Android Emulator. Don’t get me wrong, it’s such a beautifully made emulator that covers most (if not all) details of a real device, I specially like tricks such as limiting network bandwidth to simulate your app under a slow connection, but let’s face it, the thing is slow.

I have to say I don’t have a top of line computer either, it’s a Core 2 Duo with 4gb of RAM running Ubuntu 11.10 (amd64), so I started searching for tricks to speedup the emulator, until I found that Android-x86 can be used as a emulator. The experience is not as good as Google’s official emulator but with some tweaks you can really speedup turnaround both in boot time and overall execution speed. OK, TL;DR, enough small talk, let’s get down to business...

One Click PhoneGap Build to Android Device Script

From css.dzone.com - December 11, 2011 7:06 AM

I've been fooling around with PhoneGap Build, and I really love it. I love that I don't need to fire up Eclipse or XCode to start fooling around with an app. All I need is a text editor and a browser. What I especially love is the ability to integrate a github repository to the whole process. It makes following proper development practice, while living in the cloud, very easy.

But I've been spoiled for the last year or so. Being able to immediately preview on a connected device has ruined me for the command line, multi-step, manual crap. So at least on Android I've fixed it for myself by building a nice shell script that takes advantage of PhoneGap Build's Web APIs to create a one-step build.
