[Android] Intent setAction

I am an absolutely newer to Android, and suffered while I developing a project using MIT Funf framework.

these several codes make me scratch my head.
----------------
final Context context = this;
Intent archiveIntent = new Intent(context, MainPipeline.class);
               
 archiveIntent.setAction(MainPipeline.ACTION_ARCHIVE_DATA);
 startService(archiveIntent);
----------------         

The most easy and precise explanation I have saw is:

and I modified it a bit here:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;

public class AppZip
{
   List<String> fileList;

   String SOURCE_FOLDER;
   String OUTPUT_ZIP_FILE;

   AppZip(String SOURCE_FOLDER, String OUTPUT_ZIP_FILE){
       this.SOURCE_FOLDER = SOURCE_FOLDER;
       this.OUTPUT_ZIP_FILE = OUTPUT_ZIP_FILE;
       fileList = new ArrayList<String>();
       generateFileList(new File(SOURCE_FOLDER));
   }

 

   /**
    * Zip it
    * @param zipFile output ZIP file location
    */
   public void zipIt(){

    String zipFile = this.OUTPUT_ZIP_FILE;
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

    try{

       FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipFile);
       ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);

       System.out.println("Output to Zip : " + zipFile);

       for(String file : this.fileList){

           System.out.println("File Added : " + file);
           ZipEntry ze= new ZipEntry(file);
           zos.putNextEntry(ze);

           FileInputStream in =
                      new FileInputStream(SOURCE_FOLDER + File.separator + file);

           int len;
           while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
               zos.write(buffer, 0, len);
           }

           in.close();
       }

       zos.closeEntry();
       //remember close it
       zos.close();

       System.out.println("Done");
   }catch(IOException ex){
      ex.printStackTrace();  
   }
  }

   /**
    * Traverse a directory and get all files,
    * and add the file into fileList 
    * @param node file or directory
    */
   public void generateFileList(File node){

       //add file only
    if(node.isFile()){
        fileList.add(generateZipEntry(node.getAbsoluteFile().toString()));
    }

    if(node.isDirectory()){
        String[] subNote = node.list();
        for(String filename : subNote){
            generateFileList(new File(node, filename));
        }
    }

   }

   /**
    * Format the file path for zip
    * @param file file path
    * @return Formatted file path
    */
   private String generateZipEntry(String file){
       return file.substring(SOURCE_FOLDER.length(), file.length());
   }
}
--------------------------------------
example:
String myFiles = "C:\\myfiles\\"; //do not forgot the backslash in this version
String  outZipName = "compressedFiles"; //compressedFile.zip
AppZip az = new AppZip(myFiles, outZipName);
az.zipIt();

[Android] Android + Eclipse on Mac

1.Download JDK
  
  developer.apple.com

  Click the 'Resource' at the top bar to find the package suit your os

  install it, we assume the path (JDK)is:

    http://developer.android.com/sdk/

   Choose the suitable version


   Extract it, here, we assume you put the extracted file under : '/Library/android-sdk-macosx'

  $ cd  /Library/android-skd-macosx/tools

  $ ./android

  Choose those version of Android SDK you wish to develop on, then 'Accept all'

[VNC] VNC fullscreen

1. use SSH to login your account

2. edit your ~/.vnc/xstartup
   comment and add

   #twm

  gnome-session &

  #if you use kde

  #startkde

3 start the vncserver by this

   vncserver -geometry 1920x1080


and your session would have a window with 1920x1080 volume
