LumiaChallenge 2012

 剛提交了三個作品到 Nokia 參加 LumiaChallenge 2012 的比賽,順便做個記錄。

CDict - When we type English passage, we always forget a word or how to spell a word.  This movie shows how to type the word using the language you know (in this example Chinese) directly into the editor and do the translation in cloud (Microsoft translation in this example) instantly.  The program can  intelligently check the Chinese inside.  Thus, it saves lots of time to check from web or dictionary and come back to type the passage.  In this movie, one sentence is for demo purpose.  In future, a whole passage can be done in any-input-language to any-output-language.

iOS token



From : http://davehiren.blogspot.com/2012/03/get-device-token-for-apple-push.html


Get device token for apple push notifications in sencha touch and phone gap

Hello,

Recently I was working on Apple push notifications with sencha touch and phonegap project. Requirement was to get device token in JavaScript file so that it can be sent to server for getting push notifications. For that first thing we need to do is register device to get Push notifications.

Please make sure that you have real apple device like iPad, iPhone or iPod touch to test this. This will not work in Simulator.

To register device for push notifications add following in your AppDelegate.m file.  Find method


- (BOOL) application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions

Also add following line to define token variable.


@synthesize token;


and add following code at end of the method.


NSLog(@"Registering for push notifications...");    
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] 
     registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
     (UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | 
      UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | 
      UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];

This will register device for getting push notifications. Please make sure that you have added provisioning profile which configured with non wild card app id and app is configured to receive  push notifications in your development portal. Also you need valid developer certificate.

After that you need to add following methods at end of the file.

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken { 

    
    self.token = [[[[deviceToken description]
                    stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @"<" withString: @""]
                   stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @">" withString: @""]
                  stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @" " withString: @""];
    
    NSLog(@"My token is: %@", self.token);
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err { 
    
    NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Error: %@", err];
    NSLog(str);    
    
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
    
    for (id key in userInfo) {
        NSLog(@"key: %@, value: %@", key, [userInfo objectForKey:key]);
    }    
    
}


This will get device token and store it to token. Now to send this token to JavaScript we will create a phonegap plugin. Please make sure that this code will work with Phonegap version 1.5.0. They named this version as Cardova.

First create folder inside plugins folder of your project folder and name it as PushToken and add two files to it PushToken.m and PushToken.h

Open PushToken.h file and add following code to it.



#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Cordova/CDVPlugin.h>

@interface PushToken : CDVPlugin{
    
    NSString* callbackID;  
}

@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString* callbackID;

- (void) getToken:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options;

@end



Now open PushToken.m file and add following code to it.

#import "PushToken.h"
#import "AppDelegate.h"

@implementation PushToken

@synthesize callbackID;

-(void)getToken:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options  {
    self.callbackID = [arguments pop];
    
    NSString *token = ((AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).token;
    
    CDVPluginResult* pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:[token stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    
    if(token.length != 0)
    {
        [self writeJavascript: [pluginResult toSuccessCallbackString:self.callbackID]];
    }else {    
        [self writeJavascript: [pluginResult toErrorCallbackString:self.callbackID]];
    }
}

@end

Now we have to map this plugin. For that open Cordova.plist file and following key value pair to it.

PushToken : PushToken

After that open AppDelegate.h file and add following line to it.

@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString* token;

That's it of phonegap side now we have to create JavaScript file form where we will execute this plugin code. Create JavaScript file with name PushToken.js and add it to www folder. Add following code to it.

var PushToken = {
    getToken: function(types, success, fail) {
        return Cordova.exec(success, fail, "PushToken", "getToken", types);
    }
};

Add link of this JavaScript file to your index.html page after phonegap JavaScript file. To get device token wherever you want use following code.


PushToken.getToken(     
                     ["getToken"] ,           
                     function(token) {
                              global.token = token; 
                     },
                     function(error) {
                              console.log("Error : \r\n"+error);      
                     }
          );

That's it and you have your device token.

林國雄信箱

初學八字就當然會四處找人問問 今天找回林國雄信箱幫我睇的一些回覆 那時時間為 2002 年 12 月 我第一年跟余老師學風水的年份 也算是初踏玄學界

姓名:ALEX NG
性別:男 婚姻狀況:未婚
出生年月日時:新曆一九七三年十一月四日十三時二十五分

詢問事項:1.八字中五行的喜忌?
2.何時事業才會暢旺?什麼事業才好?
3.是否適合創業?
4.正財及偏財運如何?
5.何時會結婚?

吳先生的八字為癸丑、壬戌、甲辰、辛未。辰戌丑未齊,四庫齊沖,不能在一個地方待得太久,故適宜從事服務性行業,左撲右撲為合。
 
八字喜木喜火,虛齡廿九歲起行火運,一直好下去。
 
婚姻一定要遲,早婚易離婚。虛齡廿九歲後始可論婚姻。
 
八字身旺,不旺偏財。正財於虛齡廿九歲後轉好,亦適宜於虛齡廿九歲後創業,宜選木火行業。
