  • In mobile browsers, you need to be especially careful about using timers because of the battery consumption. If you need to use many high-frequency timers at the same time, try to manage them using only one timer that will launch different behaviors from the same process.
  • The first question we need to ask ourselves is, what happens when our web page goes to the background because the user switches focus to another application (in multitasking operating systems) or opens or browses to another tab or window? Another problem is what happens when the phone goes to sleep (because of the user’s inactivity while the script is executing). The behavior of timers can be a little tricky in these situations.Yet another problem is that timers execute on the same thread as the main script. If our script is taking too much processor time (a normal situation with large scripts on low- and mid-end devices), our timers will be delayed until some spare execution time is found.If we use a low frequency for the timer (for example, 10 milliseconds), the timer will generally have problems meeting the timetable.Remember that the JavaScript execution time depends a lot on the device hardware and the browser’s engine. Even if they’re running the same operating system, like Android, execution times can differ: for example, an HTC G1 will be much slower than a Nexus One with a 1-Ghz processor.
  • As shown in Figure 4, the real times are very different on different devices. On low- and mid-end devices, if they work at all, the result is far from our 200 ms intention—some low-end devices don’t even accept timers with a frequency of less than 1 second.

The conclusions are: for low-frequency timers (1 second or more), there are no performance issues, and you can add as many as you want; for high-frequency timers (for example, 100 ms), though, every new timer created makes the UI more sluggish. The preferred solution is to use only one high-frequency timer.

    A set of Android user interface guides, released by Mutual Mobile, seeks to create standards for a platform where "official" standards don't exist. The guidelines follow the whole process of designing an application and all of its elements, including pop-up windows, colors, fonts and list views, through screenshots, so designers can have examples in front of them during the development process.

    "but the app's most notable update is its newfound ability to switch back and forth between the front and back facing cameras of your smartphone while recording. In practice, it works pretty well. Although there's a one second lag when you switch between cameras, the recorded video plays back seamlessly and I imagine it could be used for some great reaction videos. It's a very simple feature that hasn't been implemented in any other video recording apps yet (including the stock camera apps in iOS and Android), although I would expect all of them to follow suit pretty soon."

Given Tablets But No Teachers, Ethiopian Kids Teach Themselves - 1 views

OLPC teaching education learning mobile apps google

  • Earlier this year, OLPC workers dropped off closed boxes containing the tablets, taped shut, with no instruction. “I thought the kids would play with the boxes. Within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, found the on-off switch … powered it up. Within five days, they were using 47 apps per child, per day. Within two weeks, they were singing ABC songs in the village, and within five months, they had hacked Android,” Negroponte said. “Some idiot in our organization or in the Media Lab had disabled the camera, and they figured out the camera, and had hacked Android.”
  • Children there had never previously seen printed materials, road signs, or even packaging that had words on them, Negroponte said.
  • “If they can learn to read, then they can read to learn.”
