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'

These are the steps to install the Oracle sqlplus command line utility on Ubuntu Linux: Get Oracle instant client packages from Oracle (you'll need basic or basiclite + sqlplus). Install the RPM files with alien : $ sudo alien -i oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.... Install Oracle shared libraries: create file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf and add this line: /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib then run sudo ldconfig

More like assign a second ip address to the same nic, instead of a virtual nic. Multiple IP addresses can be assigned to the same NIC, but all IP addresses must be on the same subnet - otherwise some IP addresses will not be accessible. From command line, assign IP address 192.168.0.2 to alias eth0:0 : sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.2... But IP addresses added this way are not persistent. They are lost whent he OS is restarted. To make the additions persistent: For Fedora: $ su - # cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ... The contents of ifcfg-eth0:0 should look like this: DEVICE=eth0:0 IPADDR=192.168.0.2 NETMASK=255... Restart network: # service network restart For Ubuntu: $ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces Append this to the file: auto eth0:0 iface eth0:0 inet static name Et......

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...

In Android.mk , you can define LOCAL_JARJAR_RULES like this: LOCAL_JARJAR_RULES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/jarjar-rules.t... and in jarjar-rules.txt define a rule like this: rule org.bouncycastle.** com.android.@0 The build will change all org.bouncycastle to com.android.org.bouncycastle . Therefore, in your classes which are dependent on the library produced, the import statements should look like: import com.android.org.bouncycastle...

The error was created by android.content.pm.PackageParser , which compares the android:minSdkVersion and android:targetSdkVersion attributes of the uses-sdk element of AndroidManifest.xml in the APK file against the SDK version of the device or emulator. The SDK version on the device has to be greater than that required by android:minSdkVersion . In my case, since I built the package with AOSP, the target emulator has to be AOSP also. This is the relavant section in AndroidManifest.xml : <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="AOSP" ... And the relevant section in android.content.pm.PackageParser : if (minCode != null) { if (!minCode.equals(...

Parsing a CVS file seemed to be a sore spot for software development. It's not simple enough that you can roll your own code in a couple of hours, and yet not deemed big enough for a full-fledged project. As a result, there are multiple libraries, each one with its own quirks. This is a summary of some simple tests I've done with five CSV parsers. Apache commons CSV parser : Does not escape backslash. The backslash is treated as literal if not proceeding a double quote, but then there's no way to have a backslash as the last character before the ending quote (even though it's a rare scenario). IOException thrown for unmatched quotes SuperCSV parser Can't handle escapes inside quotes Throws Exception for...
