When the code doesn't do what I expect it to do, I pace while I think of a solution. Or I threaten my computer. it usually works. |

nnamdiosu:To change your Android Studio's SDK location, right click your android project, select "module settings". in the resulting window, slick on sdk location. you can set the sdk location from the page to the right location. The SDK location you set here will be used in subsequent projects you create in Android studio. OR: you can edit the local.properties file present in your project structure. Hope this helps. ![]() |

deraugo: you just have to install the device's driver. check here: http://www.driveridentifier.com/scan/tecno-m3/download/1275953136/D812CD445C734DFCB3AB67D334A1AE28/USB%5CVID_0BB4%26PID_0C03%26MI_01 or http://adbdriver.com/downloads/ |

phatjoe50:By accuracy, I meant that you could tell the user that "Out of 5 sources in an area, 3 of them are using PHCN power". that can of course be replaced with maybe an indicator that changes color depending on the validity of the information. I hope you can see how that can put information gotten from this app in a better perspective for the user than that given by Nepasituation that only tells the user whether there is power or not. |

WhiZTiM:I think asking every Time will break user experience. We can choose to steadily remind the user of their choice in the notification drawer. |

phatjoe50:Oh.. Yeah. I just saw it. Thanks. It is quite similar But not the same to what this project will achieve. NepaSituation was built for a different purpose. To predict power outage. So, installing the app didn't offer much to the user. I mean, the app can't even tell me if my favorite places have power or not. And it is vague. if the app is to tell me a place has power, it should at least tell me how accurate the data it is giving me is. |

kaboninc:The need for refreshing means the app will run in the background and using the necessary amount of power just like any other app that does background processing on your device. In android there are APIs to detect if a device is being charged. However, I don't think apps run when a phone is switched off. the aim of the app isn't to just detect if your phone is charging but to also share that it is charging to other users. A phone that is switched off can't do that. |

kaboninc:The app will be redundant if it has to wait for you to refresh it in-order to get the data you need. instead of calling your friend or having to walk to the nearest supermarket or the barber shop, the app might already have something like this for you: Kaboninc's barber: No light. Kaboninc's supermarket: No light. Kaboninc's friend: has light. but of course, nothing beats going to those locations and verifying them yourself. The goal of this project might appear fuzzy right now but that is why this thread exists. To fine tune the goal. ![]() |

Appguru:nice insight. I think that can be identified. I agree with you here. The specific location might be too insecure for the users. This is great. you are the first developer to sign up. ![]() |

Caracta:Well, it might stop being very useful in this country but I don't think Nigeria is the only country that has power problems yeah, it needs internet. if your battery runs low, the app will send you a notification with the nearest location to charge your phone. That doesn't seem alright. Users will be allowed the option of giving less precise locations like street names or maybe even town names. This might reduce the efficiency of the service but I can't think of a way to bypass that problem currently. Or A way to share your power status to specific users can be created but that's a secondary feature, I think and should be considered only when the primary aim has been achieved. I am glad that you think that ![]() |

Seun:That should ultimately depend on who the app directed you to and how you approached them. although ideally, it will be preferable the owner of the power source does not charge unless it is the person's business. If the the app directs someone to my house and the person is rude, I will probably decline or charge just for the sake of it. ![]() |

losprince: I think you might have misunderstood the aim of this project. what this project will try to accomplish is to help people know the nearest place with power close to them. be it PHCN or Generator. Hopefully, using this app, you will not have to chat people up to ask them "Do you have light?" or You want to move to a new location but you aren't sure how frequent PHCN supplies power to that area, You use this app and check that or you are on the move or stranded but your battery is low and you need to recharge immediately, this might direct you to a power source. (might be someone's house but if you really need to charge, you will find a way. ![]() |

jajad:The solution I have in mind is an app that shares the device's location whenever the device running the app starts charging. That's what I mean by power. So once a location is shared, it will now be shown to other users of the app. This can be a visualization using a map or a compass like view pointing in the direction of the shared location. Going to the location is up to the user. Doing that depends on the distance the user is to this source of power you understand now? 2 Likes 1 Share |

We don't have steady power in this country, this implies that we don't always have power when we need it. But an app like this will help us find power even if we don't have it. That is a step in the direction of having power all the time. If you can't get the power, you go to it. ![]() The data to be used for this will be crowd sourced of course. It will take time to build up the data but that should not be an issue. The data will be open-sourced and so is this project. I think. From what I can see, there is no reason not to build this app. What do you think? or Who is interested in developing it? |

which language do you want to perform this action in? or are you looking for an already made program? connect to sftp. check if you have write permissions on the local path (basically create a file and see if you succeeded). get file from network and write to the locally created file delete file. |

You don't get banned if you post code on this section. This is the programming section, it is logical for you to post code here. if you got banned, sorry about that but you should have alerted the mods to what happened instead of coming to your own conclusions. Appguru. |

CodeHouse: I am following. If you are really interested in making the programming section active, you can start by creating the topics yourself. it is not as if topic creation ability is limited to the moderators alone |

There have been posts about how to learn programming which featured some pretty good tips on how to learn programming. So, what are the worst ways of learning programming?. Your tip might help someone choose the right method by process of elimination. ![]() I can think of: Reading a lot of books and not actually practicing. This leads you into a false notion of believing you can actually do all the things you read correctly on first try. Destroy that notion. You have to practice. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Are you affiliated with jumia? If you are, Why do you use gmail as your mail service provider and not something more official like Jumia's mail provider. Jumia has one. |
