Programming and Movies

Have been learning a lot of Android development lately.
Many of it are simply basic implementations, getting to know the SDK.

But well learning it, writing it and then it results in a working input/output really provides a sense of achievement and satisfaction in return.

But here's what I learnt so far:

• Setting Holo Dark theme and Holo Light theme on the fly with an option using just 'this.recreate()', together with 'setTheme(style)'.
• QR Code Scanner - wow this is one is really hard as I couldn't understand how to implement most of the libraries. Most of it are having incomplete documentations... Especially the ZXing's version. But well a friend managed to provide me with a working library and working example where I could implement it with ease.
• Understanding of 'Context' in Android and how passing it to another Class is important to work with the UI.
• Oh with QR Code Scanner I managed to understand slightly on how AsyncTask works with HTTP GET/POST and also onPostExecute method is important to update main thread. Need to dive in more into this to get to know fully.
• Some basic layout properties.
• Facebook SDK! Simple Login to Facebook and getting the username from the Session and Request Me.

On the other hand, I've been watching some movies which I've missed on the big screen:
• Her 2013
• Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit 2013

Other movies are:
• Broken Hill 2009
• Gattaca 1997

Her is best in the list above. And I especially love one of the what-feels-like-poem to me script:

It’s like I’m reading a book
And it’s a book I deeply love
But I’m reading it slowly now
So the words are really far apart
And the spaces between the words are almost infinite
I can still feel you, and the words of our story
But it’s in this endless space between the words that I’m finding myself now.
It’s a place that’s not of the physical world
It’s where everything else is that I didn’t even knew existed.

I love you so much
But this is where I am now
And this is who I am now
And I need you to let me go.

Meanwhile I also loved the story of Broken Hill. Without Alexa Vega, I probably wouldn't know of this beautiful spiritual movie.
