I’ve written this in emails before and on quite a few occasions but this bears repeating. Gaining visibility in this industry is tough especially when the industry is driven by the likes of Google, Facebook & Apple. Despite years of effort, most Java developers or mobile developers haven’t heard about us and it’s still an uphill battle for awareness. If you like our product and think we are doing something important it would be VERY h..

In my last post I demonstrated how to integrate a MySQL database into a Codename One app using Xataface as a web service layer. In this installment, I’m going to demonstrate how we can build an equivalent app using a Java web service layer. Requirements For this tutorial, I’ll be using NetBeans 8.1 and its bundled GlassFish 4.0 container. If you don’t already have a MySQL database set up, then I recommend you install XAMPP XAMPP , as it ..

One of the nice things in mobile development vs. desktop is the fact that updates are seamless. We supposedly don’t need to worry about them and most newer OS’s turn them on by default. This keeps our users with the latest version which is important, e.g. if we fixed a crucial bug or added a new monetization option… However, the reality rarely fits into this nice image. In practice an update can be delayed because of permission cha..

This has been a very busy week, we published new information on the properties approach which I’m excited about but I’m not sure if I can drum up your enthusiasm… Steve made a big post about mysql support too. Today’s library update includes new simulator code that might break some apps if you’ve refactored stuff around so be vigilant and let us know if something suddenly stops working. On stack overflow things were as usua..

The countless hours spent pondering these questions will be no more. Pull up a chair as we dive into the mystery behind the dynamic duo known..

Fundamental to the job of a user experience (UX) designer is a clear understanding of users, their needs, skills and priorities. As part of my experience on Bahmni's design team, our challenge was in building a feature-rich hospital management system for users unfamiliar with technology. The system needed to work for low-resource (including monetary, infrastructure, and human resources) environments.

In the following series of blog posts I’m going to shift some attention to server-side development in so much as it can complement a Codename One client application. In this post I’ll demonstrate how you can combine a MySQL database, a web-service layer, and a Codename One client to produce a “Contacts” app. I’m going to steal the Contacts code from the Kitchen Sink demo for the UI, but I’ll implement a different datasource that loads the c..

In an ever long pursuit to diversify my income (I’m already signing up for checking accounts just for the bonuses as well as buying and reselling things on eBay ), I’ve taken up the hobby of designing t-shirts. I only have three so far (well, I have a first one , but it was more to learn the platform), and none have sold. Not surprising since I only launched one yesterday and two today.

One of the frustrating parts in Codename One is builds failing in the cloud, the expectation is that a build that passes locally would pass in the cloud and that is something we strive to have at all times. One of the more common failures for new developers is due to refactoring of the main class or changing the signatures of the methods e.g. adding a throws clause to start().

Just over a week ago, we were sponsors at the Brighton conference, ffconf. It was a day full of brilliant talks, both thought provoking and useful. Ashley Williams of npm gave a talk titled “A brief history of modularity”, which we felt was particularly relevant to Snyk, and so we thought we’d share a summary of the talk here.
