			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been working on the google android platform for quite some time and to say the least, it has at least humbled me to a great extent. Ok, managing an application (open source but working closed) from the basic (i.e the whole development process) isn&#8217;t really fun&#8230; And yeah, I&#8217;ve faced the limits to my knowledge many times and often it&#8217;s not about striving through but making sound decisions that get things done. I am finally realizing that it&#8217;s not really about writing quick, short and elegant codes like what I&#8217;d do for a class but planning in detail and executing through.</p>
<p>I started out with version m3&#8230; or even before.. at least I was eager enough to download the first one and give it a go. The most work that has gone into was version m5. However, a lot of the hacks that I did for my project went to waste as I started upgrading to the newest version.</p>
<p>Now, at least since google finally released the codes for everyone to see, it&#8217;s become a little easier and an even more humbling experience for me in terms of understanding how much I really need to know/learn in programming with Java in general.</p>
<p><strong>The site: </strong><a href="http://source.android.com">source.android.com</a></p>
<p>This has by far been the easiest compile I&#8217;ve ever done in my life for a project this complex. Ode to the google people for just that if nothing else. What I find really impressive is the fact that they redid libc and many other packages, adding native interfaces for programmers to work on.</p>
<p>The packages, after a little search were in &lt;source&gt;/packages/applications folder. I finally finished replacing my old camera activity in my application with the one from google. I&#8217;ll need to do the same for the maps application and I&#8217;m thinking of looking if they have their own xmlrpc implementation this time around because the old one that I modified from J2ME package kxmlrpc  doesn&#8217;t seem to be working too nicely anymore.</p>
<p>I still can&#8217;t release all my codes but here&#8217;s the link to the stuff that I&#8217;ve been working on:</p>
<p><a href="http://summer.hfoss.org/POSIT">http://summer.hfoss.org/POSIT</a></p>
<p>However, I&#8217;ve done development on my posit-server  in the open from the start <a href="http://code.google.com/p/positserver/"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/positserver/">http://code.google.com/p/positserver/</a></p>
<p>I wrote a bunch of applications for using when I was developing for it that have mostly been open sourced.</p>
