Oracle sqlplus command line tools does not support command line editing out-of-the-box. But on Linux there's a handy utility that enables command line editing with any command line tool: rlwrap - readline wrapper. Install rlwrap: $ sudo apt-get install rlwrap Create a keywords file .sql.dict (optional, but convenient): false null true access add as asc begin by chec... It would be nice to add the tables names also. Create an alias for sqlplus (put it in .bashrc ): alias sqlplus='rlwrap -f $HOME/.sql.dict sqlplus'

The MIPS CPU is able to run both big-endian and little-endian. So a system built on MIPS can be either big-endian (mips) or little-endian (mipsel). The file command shows the architecture: $ file ls ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, ... but readelf will tell the endianness: $ readelf -h ls ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45...

When you run automated Android tests with Eclipse or from the command line, you get text output, which isn't good for reporting purposes. If you run a large set of test cases with automated build, the text report isn't very helpful. Fortunately, Android CTS generates test reports in XML with accompanying XSL to make it look nice in a browser. To run your own tests with Android CTS: Download Android CTS Make a new directory MyRepository under android-cts , alongside the existing repository directory. Copy host_config.xml from repository to MyRepository Create directory plans under MyRepository , add a test plan ( MyTests.xml ): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <TestPla... Create directory testcases under MyRepository . Copy TestDeviceSetup.apk from repository/testcases to MyRepository/testcases Under MyRepository/testcases , create a test...

The Android unit test framework is based on JUnit 3 , not JUnit 4. Test cases have to extend junit.framework.TestCase or a subclass (such as android.test.InstrumentationTestCase ). Tests are identified by public methods whose name starts with test , not methods annotated with @Test (as in JUnit 4). An Android test suite is packaged as an APK, just like the application being tested. To create a test package, first you need to identify the application package it is testing. Google suggests to put the test package source in a directory named tests/ alongside the src/ directory of the main application. At runtime, Android instrumentation loads both the test package and the application under test into the same process. Therefore, the tests can invoke methods on...

This is a list of built-in Android permission values: Permission Description Since API Level android.permission.ACCESS_CHECKIN_PROPERTIES Allows read/write access to the "properties" table in the checkin database, to change values that get uploaded. 1 android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION Allows an application to access coarse (e.g., Cell-ID, WiFi) location 1 android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION Allows an application to access fine (e.g., GPS) location 1 android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS Allows an application to access extra location provider commands 1 android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION Allows an application to create mock location providers for testing 1 android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE Allows applications to access information about networks 1 android.permission.ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER Allows an application to use SurfaceFlinger's low level features 1 android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks 1 android.permission.ACCOUNT_MANAGER Allows applications to call into AccountAuthenticators. Only the system can get this permission. 5 android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS...
