Making a simple wallpaper with Inkscape

Here is another good screencast on using Inkscape. This is my effort. Not as good as his, but I don't think it's too bad at all. Not sure what I would use this for though...

AutoCompleteTextView backed with data from SQLite in Android

Image
This is a handy piece of code. As your database gets bigger you can allow the user to pick the correct value by typing. If the db gets very big, you can always increase the threshold, so that the query does not run until there will be a suitably sized resultset returned. Running it at a threshold of 1 is fine for very small resultsets.  Here is the code you need to back your AutoCompleteTextView with a cursor adapter. @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); text = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1); final AdapterHelper h = new AdapterHelper(this); Cursor c = h.getAllResults(); startManagingCursor(c); String[] from = new String[] { "val" }; int[] to = new int[] { android.R.id.text1 }; CursorAdapter adapter = new MyCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, c, from, to); adapter.setFilterQueryProvider(new FilterQueryProvider() { public Cursor runQuery(Cha...

Update to Pedometer Log deployed today

My latest app is called Pedometer Log. It is a way for users of pedometers to log their daily steps and try to achieve goals be they related to weight loss, or just staying in shape. It tracks the number of steps taken in the previous week and the week before that and show how you did relative to your goal. A common target among pedometer users is to do 10,000 steps in a day. It's a lot of walking, but it is worth investing the time for a while to see if it works. If you want something a bit faster than walking there are a number of other sports in there for which equivalent step conversions are included. This allows you to move toward your goal while getting some variety in your workouts. You can find the app on the Android market here .

Preventing Mass Assignment Attacks in Spring

If you have a wizard to collect data from users in a set of steps you can open yourself up to a mass assignment attack. OWASP as always gives great information on this . How it works You Bind an object to the model and you want to populate the fields in that object as your user progresses through your wizard. So on the first screen you might collect their name, second screen email and so on. Between each of these steps you perform validation on the just entered values. However a hacker exploiting mass assignment can bind data from step 1 during a subsequent step just by putting the variable and value in the URL (assuming GET, although obviously this can be done with POST also). So for the first step you are after this: https://mywebsite.com/myapp/action? email =anthonynolan@somemail.com And the second step, this: https://mywebsite.com/myapp/action2? name =Anthony Instead the hacker supplies this which is fine and passes our validation: https://mywebsite.com/myapp/acti...
