APP OF THE DAY: MX Player (Android) Effortless video One of the great things about Android, is that it has a flexibility - especially with regard to the file system - that you don't get on iOS.

MX Player FORMAT Android PRICE Free WHERE Google Play While there are quite a few video players on the...

That's the message from Scott Main, lead tech writer for developer.android.com, who has posted an article advising Android developers to change their ways. "Honeycomb removed the reliance on physical buttons, and introduced the ActionBar class as the standard solution to make actions from the user options immediately visible and quick to invoke," he wrote. "In order to provide the most intuitive and consistent user experience in your apps, you should migrate your designs away from using the Menu...
