If you just started programming your first 2D game using AndEngine, here are some tips for you. These tips are more about "Game Programing" in general, then about AndEngine, but I think you should know it before get started programming your own game.

Cisco AnyConnect Client and termination of existing LAN connections

by admin on Thursday, December 4, 2014 3:12 AM

Because the Cisco VPN client is not working properly on Windows 8.1, we had to use Cisco AnyConnect Client.

Here begins a nightmare that lasted for several days.

After the AnyConnect client connects to a remote computer all local TCP connections are interrupted.

If your computer has initiated an application that for example communicates with the database, it loses the connection to the database and must be restarted.

It took several days to find a reason why this is happening:

VPN connection that is established does not allow the IPv6 protocol, and all of local TCP connections that have been established over IPv6 protocol were terminated.

Therefore, the solution is very simple:

disable IPv6 protocol on the local network adapter or in the connection to the database use a fixed IPv4 address (n.n.n.n) instead of the computer name

This will force connection to use IPv4 protocol.

If you recently started to develop applications for the Android platform (or any other mobile platform) it is likely that you will encounter the problem of designing user interfaces. Have you realized the importance of ListView control in developing android applications? That is what I learned the hard way. Don't allow this to happen to you too.

How to force Eclipse to rebuild generated resource class (R) in Android project ?

by admin on Monday, October 24, 2011 10:27 PM

If you found that your R (resource) generated class in Android project have errors you will want to force Eclipse to rebuild that class. To force Eclipse to rebuild generated resource class (R), you just need to click on Project->Clean menu, and then select which projects you want to clean.

In my case rebuilding generated class did not helped because there was error in my XML layout file and class again had the same error. So if you ever have error in your R (resource) generated class, it is better to first check your error log and find where in the layout or resource files you have error. Usual error is wrongly named resource id of control. After you fix that error and save changes error in R class will usually disappear.
