agur.pl - This is to good to have a title

So what's this page about? I'm still not sure. For me it's a way to practice my english writing skills and have some fun with different technologies at the same time. Beside that I hope to track some of my diorama projects and get some motivation to push them forward. Any comments are most welcomed - especially if you've found some mispelling/grammar issue with whatever can be found here.

Showcase

This is basicly ode to myslef. It just describes how awesome I am and what awesome things I've done - well probably not - but still just some left overs from my previous site. I might decide to trash it at some point.

Diorama Making

Ongoing projects, tips and tutorials. I would not expect much if I were you. This is just a hobby to get me of the PC for a bit and I must admit that it is a pretty cool one. Hopefully this page will motivate me to put in some more hours into it.

Tutorials and projects of more technical nature. Covering mostly web and android technologies.

Android

Some projects based in android along with tuts. I don't find android api very intuitive so it will be a good way to record acquired knowledge.

Bootstrap

How awesome is bootstrap? It's pretty awesome. Got me through the process of making this page without worrying about styling. Still there is a couple of catches and you might find them here.

jQuery

I am a bit behind with jQuery so this site is a way for me to catch up. And so far it has been a very enjoyable ride. This is also a way for me to change my default behaviour of trying to reinvent the wheel each time by writing things by myself and try to reuse already existing plugins.

JavaScript

Other non jQuery specific technologies. Probably gonna include some Backbone test runs and hopefully at some point I'll get around to tackle Knockout.

HTML5

Interesting things are going to happen and hopefully I'll get around to test of some new HTML5 features as well.

This page uses html5 tags like <section>, <header>, <nav> etc... If it looks bad on your browser - update it. Browsers that this site supports are pretty much the same as for bootstrap support (hopefully):

Note that I test this onlu on Chrome and Firefox (their latest versions). Definitelly no IE6 support (IE7 is out of the question as well)*. I might test this under Safari, Opera or IE8 and IE9 from time to time, but will probably not gonna give this much of attention.

to get the most of web use the latest version of a browser of your choosing.

* - strangely the page looks good in IE8 while having some problems with correctly displaying menu in IE9 - this will be addressed at some point.

A bit like blog

of sorts...

NinePatch Graphic For Custom Controls
2012-03-23 18:14:11

A NinePatchDrawable graphic is a stretchable bitmap that will get automatically resized by Android to accommodate the contents of the View in which you have placed it as the background. So what does this mean exactly? It means you can create custom styled controls or containers simply and without worrying about some of the problems that you might encounter without it.
