They allow your apps to have an accurate understanding of where you are both inside and out, from sending you offers when you are in a shop to knowing where you are in a sports stadium so you can be directed to your seat. iBeacons are a big up and coming thing - even Facebook are now sending them out to businesses so their app can become location aware. Companies like Estimote are creating and extending iBeacons to bring even more amazing features to the developer.</p><p align=center>![iBeacon logo](ibeacon.png)</p><p>On the 8th July 2015 I&rsquo;ll be hosting an iBeacons mini-hack using Xamarin and Estimote beacons, at the Birmingham Xamarin Mobile Cross Platform User Group in Birmingham, UK. In this mini-hack I’ll be talking briefly about this technology and a little about it’s uses, then we’ll hit the code. Bring a Mac laptop, iPhone and lightning cable, and team up with others in building a treasure hunt app using the Estimote iOS Xamarin component and Estimote iBeacons. There will be a prize of an Estimote developer kit or two (containing 3 iBeacons, worth $100 each) for the team that can complete the treasure hunt the fastest.</p><p align=center>![Estimote logo](Estimote-1.png)</p><p>For more details and to join in visit the <a href=http://www.meetup.com/Birmingham-Xamarin-Mobile-Cross-Platform-User-Group/events/223173916/>Meetup page</a>.</p><p>Note - iBeacons are originally an Apple technology. Although Estimote do have limited support for Android we will be focusing purely on their iOS Xamarin component. The iPhone simulator also does not support iBeacons, so you will need an actual device to code against. I will however be splitting the attendees into teams so even if you don&rsquo;t have an iPhone developer setup come along anyway and I&rsquo;ll make sure you are teamed up with someone who does.</p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/a-little-less-conversation-a-little-more-ibeacons/",this.page.identifier="13c25f646bebbae2f4e110d20caae31b"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

GPS sensors are at best accurate to a few meters, so a device could be inside the geofence but detected outside. The <code>distance</code> value takes this into consideration:</p><ul><li>Positive distance values are outside the geofence, negative are inside.</li><li>If the location is within a short distance (default of 50m and referred to as a <em>search buffer)</em> of the edge of the geofence, the <code>distance</code> will be the distance to the geofence in meters.</li><li>If the device is further away from the edge, the value will be <code>999</code> if outside, <code>-999</code> inside.</li><li>The search buffer can be configured in the REST call by setting the <code>searchBuffer</code> parameter to a value in meters from <code>0</code> to <code>500</code>. If this is not set, the default of 50m is used.</li></ul><p>When triggering alerts based off being close to the edge of a geofence you should take other information into consideration - for example if the GSP sensor is on a road going device, is the nearest road inside the geofence?</p><p>The <code>nearestLat</code> and <code>nearestLon</code> values give the point on the geofence that is nearest to the device - useful for example if you are tracking animals in an enclosed space, this might be where there is hole in the fence!</p><h1 id=learn-more>Learn more</h1><p>If you want to learn more, check out these links:</p><ul><li><a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-maps/?WT.mc_id=azuremaps-blog-jabenn">Azure maps docs</a></li><li><a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/maps/?WT.mc_id=azuremaps-blog-jabenn">Azure Maps REST API docs</a></li></ul></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents><ul><li><a href=#getting-started>Getting started</a></li><li><a href=#defining-a-geofence>Defining a Geofence</a></li><li><a href=#testing-if-a-coordinate-is-in-the-geofence>Testing if a coordinate is in the geofence</a></li></ul></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/spatial target=_blank>Spatial</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/maps target=_blank>Maps</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/azure target=_blank>azure</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/rest target=_blank>REST</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/are-you-where-you-should-be-checking-geofences-using-azure-maps/",this.page.identifier="ed666b10edd0ef85956543f3fc7eb66f"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

</span></span></code></pre></div><p>WooHoo, invalid opcode ba. Ba indeed! What is this gibberish?</p><p>Well the issue comes down to Java versions. Android in the past only supported Java code up to version 7. They are now adding support for later versions but Xamarin doesn&rsquo;t have this yet, and this is only available on newer versions of Android (>= 26). To make your code work on earlier versions and with Xamarin you have to do a thing called desugaring (yes, really), and this alters the Java bytecode to convert Java 8 bytecode to a version that is supported by Java 7.</p><p>At the moment there isn&rsquo;t a nice IDE way to turn on desugaring, instead it has to be set inside the <code>.csproj</code> file of the client application. Open up the <code>.csproj</code> file for your newly created Android app inside <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/?WT.mc_id=speech-blog-jabenn">VSCode</a> (other editors are available, but hey - why would you), or by editing the file inside Visual Studio, and add the following to the default <code>PropertyGroup</code>:</p><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-xml data-lang=xml><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:#f92672>&lt;AndroidEnableDesugar&gt;</span>true<span style=color:#f92672>&lt;/AndroidEnableDesugar&gt;</span>
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Your app should now build without errors!</p><blockquote><p>I have this working and compiling in the preview versions of Visual Studio on Windows at the time of writing cos that&rsquo;s how I roll. If you are on stable and get weird errors then try with preview as I know support for this is being actively worked on.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>If you do this on VS for Mac then you will get a crash at run-time. The workaround is documented here: <a href=https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/pull/1973>https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/pull/1973</a></p></blockquote><h2 id=buiding-an-app-using-the-sdk>Buiding an app using the SDK</h2><p>To use the SDK you do need to sign up for the Speech service in Azure. Head to <a href="https://portal.azure.com/?WT.mc_id=speech-blog-jabenn">portal.azure.com</a> and add a new Speech resource (at the time of writing this is in preview).</p><div class=image-div style=max-width:600px><p><img src=2018-09-09_20-43-15.png alt="Searching for the speech resource in Azure"></p></div><p>Once you have this, note down the endpoint from the <strong>Overview</strong> page. It will be a URL, and you will need the bit before <code>.api.cognitive.microsoft.com</code>. For example, if your endpoint is <code>https://northeurope.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/sts/v1.0</code>, then you will need <code>northeurope</code>. You will also need one of the two keys from the <strong>Keys</strong> page.</p><p>You can then create a <code>SpeechFactory</code> using these values:</p><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-cs data-lang=cs><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:#66d9ef>var</span> factory = SpeechFactory.FromSubscription(&lt;SpeechApiKey&gt;, &lt;endpoint&gt;);

To detect speech, handle the relevant events. You can see an example of using the <code>TranslationRecognizer</code> to convert English to spoken German in an example project in my <a href=https://github.com/jimbobbennett/SpeechSdkXamarinSample/blob/master/SpeechQuickStart/MainActivity.cs>GitHub repo</a>.</p><blockquote class=twitter-tweet data-lang=en><p lang=en dir=ltr>Had a successful day.

In the last month I&rsquo;ve relocated form Thailand to the UK with my family, got my UK company up and running (more coming on this in a later post), lined up one client, fought with the Apple app store to get my developer account set up right so I can sell apps (still not done), found a new place to live and been fighting with overbearing bureaucracy. I&rsquo;ve also found loads of time to spend playing with my daughter before work becomes too overbearing, and the upshot of this is little time for technology. My <a href=/blogs/time-to-teach/>Udemy course</a> is still nowhere near finished, my apps are not on the Apple app store yet and I don&rsquo;t even have a working Windows 10 VM (mind you, from what I hear not many others do either).</p><p>Hey ho, back to the grindstone from now on.</p><p>One cool thing I did have time to do is head to Microsoft&rsquo;s Future Decoded conference in London. It was a great day, some fantastic speakers (including that <a href=http://bit.ly/14GyJJz>drummer guy from D&rsquo;Ream</a>) and the chance to hear about some awesome technology.</p><p>The one piece that really caught my eye surprisingly wasn&rsquo;t the announcement that Microsoft have <a href=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/11/12/net-core-is-open-source.aspx>open sourced .Net</a> and released <a href=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2014/11/12/visual-studio-2015-preview-visual-studio-community-2013-visual-studio-2013-update-4-and-more.aspx>new Visual Studio goodies</a>. It was in fact a software/hardware solution from <a href=https://futurecities.catapult.org.uk/project-full-view/-/asset_publisher/oDS9tiXrD0wi/content/project-cities-unlocked/>Microsoft Services work with Future Cities</a> in conjunction with <a href=http://www.guidedogs.org.uk>Guide Dogs for the Blind</a> to help blind people navigate. A very good friend of mine is almost totally blind so I&rsquo;m very interested in technology that helps people in his situation. The history of the project is that they were asked to help people navigate around a new city, and seeing as one of their team is blind they decided it would be a good place to start - the needs of the sighted are a lot less than those of people who are visually impaired in a new city so solving for the harder case will also help ensure you cover as much as possible for the easy case.</p><p>The basic idea behind the project is to provide visually impaired people with the ability to navigate around a city. For us sighted people it&rsquo;s easy - we whip out our smartphone and load up google maps. If you&rsquo;re blind, this is impossible. The Microsoft guys have come up with what is almost like turn by turn navigation using audio clues to guide you around. Dogs are great for stopping you walking out in front of cars but can&rsquo;t distinguish between Starbucks and a dry cleaners.</p><p>The first part of the technology uses <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_recording>binaural</a> sound processing - the ability to make a sound seem like it is coming from somewhere in 3D space using normal headphones. Unlike normal stereo, this allows sounds to be behind, in front, above, or anywhere instead of simply left/right positioned. Combine this with a smartphone with a built in compass and you have the ability to put sound in a particular location regardless of which way the user is facing (assuming the smartphone is facing the same way relative to the user of course).</p><p>The downsides for this as a navigation tool are that, as mentioned, the smartphone has to always be facing in the same direction as the user, as well as the user having to wear headphones. A blind person would never want this as their ears are vital to navigating around. If you can&rsquo;t hear traffic for example then you couldn&rsquo;t safely walk the streets.
The solution to both of these is a special headset. It&rsquo;s based around bone conductivity headphones (these transmit sound by vibrating the bones in your skull allowing your ears to be free from blockages) with a box of electronics on the back that contains a compass, accelerometer and a bluetooth connection to the phone. This means the headset can always be in the same relative direction to the user to allow the sound to be positioned accurately.</p><p>So now we have a tool that can track which way you are facing an provide audio clues at a given compass point. So the next step is to combine this with GPS, map data and a speach interface. For basic city walking it is able to name shops that you are interested in with the name being in the right direction to where you are facing. It can also navigate you to a given destination using a simple sound in the direction you need to turn - so if the place you want is 100 yards ahead on the current street, then right for 50 yards then right again for 20 it will sound in front of you whilst you walk, then turn right when you should turn, then right again when you should turn then announce when you are at your destination. All without being intrusive.</p><p>It sounds like such a simple solution and having tried it out I can say it is really well done. I&rsquo;m hoping they are going to open source the binaural technology so I can have a play at creating something similar.</p><p>Good work Microsoft!</p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/binaural target=_blank>binaural</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/microsoft target=_blank>microsoft</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/blind target=_blank>blind</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/navigation target=_blank>navigation</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/blind-technology/",this.page.identifier="531b923954b10502e2aa3d956fb597cb"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

Most of my meals are incredible food cooked fresh and purchased from markets for usually 40p-80p a dish - so why not share them with the world.</p><p>I&rsquo;ll start today with bubble tea - read about it on <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_tea>Wikipedia</a> if you&rsquo;ve never heard of it. Essentially it&rsquo;s a Taiwanese drink made of milky tea with tapioca pearls in the bottom, but there are many variants made with green tea, fruit teas, juices and jellies instead of bubbles.</p><p>This morning I stopped at the Bubble Boy (a chain of Bubble Tea stands) at the <a href=https://goo.gl/maps/rZQtC>Ekkami BTS station</a>.</p><p><img src=bubbletea--2-.jpg alt="Bubble boy stand at Ekami"></p><p>I grabbed a Chocolate milk tea with chocolate pudding at the bargain price of 45 baht (83p/$1.40). It&rsquo;s really, really nice - you can&rsquo;t taste the tea that much, just a milky chocolate drink with undertones of bitter dark chocolate. The chocolate pudding is dark chocolate flavour pearls that are nice and chewy without a too intense taste. Definitely one I&rsquo;ll have again.</p><p><img src=bubbletea--1--1.jpg alt="Chocolate milk tea with chocolate pudding"></p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/food target=_blank>food</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/bubble-boy target=_blank>bubble boy</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/bubble-tea target=_blank>bubble tea</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/chocolate target=_blank>chocolate</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/bubble-tea/",this.page.identifier="dd5be1492996684b7423b31926a0fb7e"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

</code></pre><p>The hordes of comments have been removed as we don&rsquo;t really need them. The clean method is also gone as again we don&rsquo;t need it. The important change though is in the static constructor where we register a new <code>DatabaseHelper</code> instance as an <code>IDatabaseHelper</code>, as well as registering the <code>CountersViewModel</code> type. These are registered against the <code>SimpleIoc.Default</code> instance, which is set up as the locator provider for the <code>ServiceLocator</code>. <code>SimpleIoc.Default</code> is a default instance of the <code>SimpleIoc</code> container, and anything registered in a container instance is effectively a singleton inside that instance. Having this default instance set up as the service locators provider means that whenever we access the <code>ServiceLocator.Current</code> singleton and get an instance we will get the single instance that we registered.
For example out <code>Counters</code> property gets the instance of <code>CountersViewModel</code> from the service locator, which in turn gets it from the default SimpleIoc instance, which checks if it has an instance of the type and if so returns it, if not it creates a new one injecting any constructor parameters using types also registered in the SimpleIoc instance.
If none of this makes sense then I suggest you stop reading here and read up on the <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_injection>dependency injection pattern</a> and <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_locator_pattern>service locator patterns</a>. These are pretty standard, allow for nicely decoupled applications, and are pretty fundamental to a good MVVM implementation.</p><p>The code for this can be found in GitHub on the Part3 branch at <a href=https://github.com/jimbobbennett/StupendousCounter/tree/Part3>https://github.com/jimbobbennett/StupendousCounter/tree/Part3</a></p><p>In the <a href=/blogs/building-a-xamarin-android-app-part-4/>next part</a> we&rsquo;ll work on the actual UI and start wiring everything up.</p><hr><p><table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style=border:none;border-collapse:collapse><tr style=padding:0><td style=padding:0;vertical-align:top><iframe style=width:120px;height:240px marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no frameborder=0 src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=expecti-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B0000250CZ&asins=B0000250CZ&linkId=&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></td><td style='padding:0 30px;vertical-align:top'><iframe style=width:120px;height:240px marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no frameborder=0 src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=expecti-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B00W3G9LQI&asins=B00W3G9LQI&linkId=&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></td><td style='padding:0 30px;vertical-align:top'><iframe style=width:120px;height:240px marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no frameborder=0 src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=expecti-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B00533Y2KI&asins=B00533Y2KI&linkId=&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></td><td style='padding:0 30px'><p style=color:#686868;!important>Continuing on from the last post where I mentioned what I was listening to whilst developing, today I'm listening to <a href=http://www.heathernova.com>Heather Nova</a></p><p style=color:#686868;!important>Note - these are an affiliate links - if you click them and buy I get a small cut.</p></td></tr></table></p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents><ul><li><ul><li></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin target=_blank>xamarin</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin.android target=_blank>xamarin.android</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/mvvmlight target=_blank>mvvmlight</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/mvvm target=_blank>mvvm</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/tutorial target=_blank>tutorial</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/building-a-xamarin-android-app-part-3/",this.page.identifier="aa5d1524699fd3cbdbce398fd63d8924"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

The app name in the manifest file (<code>Properties\AndroidManifest.xml</code>) is defined as <code>android:label="@string/app_name"</code>, so correctly referring to a strings resource file located at <code>Resouces\values\strings.xml</code>. This is the recommended way to handle all text in your app so that you can easily localise it as described on the <a href=http://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/languages.html>Android developer docs</a>. Setting the app name is therefore nice and easy, just change the strings.xml to have <code>&lt;string name="app_name">Stupendous Counter&lt;/string></code>. You may need to restart you emulator after re-deploying the app - XAP doesn&rsquo;t update the name in the settings until you restart.</p><p>The main activity is not set up like this though - the template creates it with a hard-coded label of &ldquo;Home&rdquo;. I&rsquo;d like this to match the app name so it&rsquo;s consistent, so it&rsquo;s a simple case of changing it to match the manifest: <code>[Activity(Label = "@string/app_name", ...)]</code>. Android uses the @ symbol to indicate a resource, so this syntax will correctly load the activities label from the string resources.</p><p>Once done it looks like this:</p><table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style=border:none;border-collapse:collapse><tr style=padding:0;vertical-align:top><td style=padding:0;vertical-align:top><div class=image-div style=width:300px><p><img src=Screen-Shot-2016-01-13-at-17-19-14.png alt="App settings"></p></div></td><td style='padding:0 10px;vertical-align:top'><div class=image-div style=width:300px><p><img src=Screen-Shot-2016-01-13-at-16-42-22.png alt=Activity></p></div></td><td style=padding:0;vertical-align:top><div class=image-div style=width:79px><p><img src=Screen-Shot-2016-01-13-at-16-42-08.png alt="App icon"></p></div></td></tr></table></br><p>Done!

</code></pre><br><p>What this test does is create a database with a new unique name (so we can ensure the database is clean), it then creates a new counter and verifies the Id is 0 (love me that assertion syntax!).
The next is the odd bit. If you create an async unit test it seems to hang when running it on the simulator, so to work around it I have to run the async code in a Task that is waited for. This works. Very annoying, but not much else we can do.
Once the counter is inserted we assert that the counter is updated to 1.</p><p>Launching the test app and clicking &lsquo;Run Tests&rsquo; will run this test and you&rsquo;ll see it pass, with &lsquo;1 test passed&rsquo; showing on the app.</p><p>I&rsquo;ll add a selection of other tests as well, and these can all be seen in the code on GitHub in the Part2 branch at <a href=https://github.com/jimbobbennett/StupendousCounter/tree/Part2>https://github.com/jimbobbennett/StupendousCounter/tree/Part2</a>.</p><p>In the <a href=/blogs/building-a-xamarin-android-app-part-3/>next part</a> we&rsquo;ll start wiring the UI up to the data using <a href=http://www.mvvmlight.net>MVVMLight</a>.</p><hr><p><table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style=border:none;border-collapse:collapse><tr style=padding:0><td style=padding:0;vertical-align:top><iframe style=width:120px;height:240px marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no frameborder=0 src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=expecti-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B00E4JGPO8&asins=B00E4JGPO8&linkId=&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></td><td style='padding:0 30px;vertical-align:top'><iframe style=width:120px;height:240px marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no frameborder=0 src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=expecti-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B00JLZVJSM&asins=B00JLZVJSM&linkId=&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></td><td style='padding:0 30px;vertical-align:top'><iframe style=width:120px;height:240px marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no frameborder=0 src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=expecti-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B008CYV046&asins=B008CYV046&linkId=&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></td><td style='padding:0 30px'><p style=color:#686868;!important>Continuing on from the last post where I mentioned what I was listening to whilst developing, today I'm listening to <a href=http://www.nicolabenedetti.co.uk>Nicola Benedetti</a></p><p style=color:#686868;!important>Note - these are an affiliate links - if you click them and buy I get a small cut.</p></td></tr></table></p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents><ul><li><ul><li></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin target=_blank>xamarin</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin.android target=_blank>xamarin.android</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/sqlite target=_blank>sqlite</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/database target=_blank>database</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/tutorial target=_blank>tutorial</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/building-an-android-app-part-2/",this.page.identifier="a1c6c5751df0afd2aec18c2bd2ef6900"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

It will also discuss the downsides, such as security concerns and problems around beacon deployments. As well as discussing the concepts it will also contain a live coding Xamarin demo showing just how easy it is to beacon-enable your apps, with live demos of notifications and indoor location tracking.</p><p>MS Ignite runs from 25-28 October at the SkyCity convention centre in Auckland, New Zealand.</p><hr><p>Update - the video of this talk is now on Channel 9:</p><p><a href=https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/New-Zealand-2016/M324>https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/New-Zealand-2016/M324</a></p><iframe src=https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/New-Zealand-2016/M324/player width=960 height=540 allowfullscreen frameborder=0></iframe></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/ibeacon target=_blank>ibeacon</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin target=_blank>xamarin</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin.ios target=_blank>xamarin.ios</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/ignitenz target=_blank>igniteNZ</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/come-hear-me-talk-about-ibeacons-at-ms-ignite/",this.page.identifier="01539da7e1f88e65edae63b56442f60d"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

</code></pre><p>It&rsquo;s a simple tool designed to be called from .Net code to compare 2 collections that are based off a known .Net type. You create the class using the type as the generic argument, passing in the connection details to the two MongoDB instances to compare. You then call <code>CompareAsync</code> passing in a function that returns the unique id for each document so that it can marry up the collections and see if they match.
The comparison is done by using a simple <code>Equals</code> on each property in each document. Properties marked as <code>BsonIgnore</code> are ignored, as are properties marked as <code>BsonId</code>. You can also provide a list of names for properties that are also ignored (for example I&rsquo;m using it to ignore a <code>LastAccessed</code> property that stores when the document was last accessed, which is different for each MongoDB instance).
The results that come back provide a list of documents that are only in the first collection, a list of documents that are only in the second, and a list of documents that are different. At the moment it doesn&rsquo;t say which properties are different, but I&rsquo;ll hopefully be making a change to include this in a later release.</p><p>This is not PCL unfortunately, because the MongoDB drivers are not PCL compliant, an only supports .Net 4.5.</p><p>Hope it&rsquo;s helpful for someone. Feel free to raise a PR for anything else you want it to support.</p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/comparing-two-mongodb-instances/",this.page.identifier="0bae2e98f154f868ec3ef12da82e4743"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

The idea behind it is to provide a simple way to connect to a Plex media server and get info on the currently playing movie or TV show. The most important info being a link to IMDB - pretty much every time my wife and I watch something we dig out of phones to look up an actors name or what else we have seen them in.</p><p>The reason I&rsquo;m developing this library is so that I can use it in an upcoing iOS app that acts like a second screen, providing these details in an easy to use way. More info on this will be coming soon once it&rsquo;s more complete, but if you&rsquo;d like to be a beta tester for the app then email me at <a href=mailto:jim@moomoo.io>jim@moomoo.io</a> .</p><p>I named my library ComPlexion - simply because it sounded good, included Plex in the name and I&rsquo;m rubbish at picking names so went for the first one I could think of. However, I decided to have a read of the Plex legal pages with regard to their trademarks just to make sure that I named my app appropriately and email a link to ComPlexion to the Plex legal team just to verify.</p><p>As it turns out, they don&rsquo;t want me to use the name. According to their <a href=https://plex.tv/legal>legal page</a>:</p><p>You may:</p><ul><li>Name your website, product, or application with something unique, that satisfies the other Guidelines.</li><li>Feel free to include language on your site explaining that your application “Works with Plex”.</li><li>Use “for Plex” following the name of your application, provided that the name of your application is unique.</li></ul><p>You may not:</p><ul><li>Use Plex or derivatives thereof in the name of your application</li></ul><p>So looks like ComPlexion is out. I&rsquo;ve renamed it to:</p><p><strong>RestAndRelaxForPlex</strong></p><p>Not the best name, but it abides by their rules. It&rsquo;s not a huge problem, they have built a great app and ecosystem so it&rsquo;s only fair not in infringe on their tradmarks or imply that they are behind or endorse a third party product.</p><p><a href=https://github.com/jimbobbennett/RestAndRelaxForPlex>The new GitHub repo is here.</a></p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/plex target=_blank>plex</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/rest target=_blank>REST</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/legal target=_blank>legal</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/beta-test target=_blank>beta test</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/restandrelaxforplex target=_blank>restandrelaxforplex</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/complexion-and-legal-issues/",this.page.identifier="e62a242ec4dc291003cf51c079e632f3"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

For my <a href=http://github.com/jimbobbennett/JimLib>JimLib</a> open source API I&rsquo;ve automated the whole deployment process so after checkin it builds and deploys to NuGet automatically.</p><h3 id=steps-in-the-process>Steps in the process</h3><p>I do all my development in Visual Studio, which now can connect to git. I have this wired up to <a href=http://github.com/jimbobbennett/JimLib>my GitHub repo</a> so I can commit changes to my local repo and sync back to GitHub.</p><p>Once changes are synced, I use <a href=http://www.appveyor.com>AppVeyor</a> to do my builds. They provide a free service for public repositories so can automate all open source builds without you spending a penny. I have set this up to:</p><ul><li>Pick up pushes to my repo</li><li>Increment a version number and set this in AssemblyInfo.cs</li><li>Build everything</li><li>Run all unit tests</li><li>Package up the NuGet package including symbols</li><li>Push the NuGet packages to <a href=https://www.nuget.org/packages/JimBobBennett.JimLib/>NuGet.org</a></li></ul><p>AppVeyor even provides markdown for a build status:</p><p><a href=https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jimbobbennett/jimlib><img src=https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/pxisjdt5qxf05utr alt="Build status"></a></p><h3 id=how-can-i-be-sure-im-deploying-the-right-thing>How can I be sure I&rsquo;m deploying the right thing?</h3><p>This is where unit tests come in. I try to get as much coverage as possible (91% at the moment), and use this to provide a level of certainty that any new changes work (assuming my tests are good) and that I haven&rsquo;t broken anything with any new changes. The build process runs the tests and won&rsquo;t push the package unless all tests pass.</p><h3 id=downsides-to-appveyor>Downsides to AppVeyor</h3><p>AppVeyor is very good, I&rsquo;m really impressed with what they offer for free. It&rsquo;s not fast to get a build, sometimes you can be waiting for up to an hour but for free thsi is fine. The only downside so far is NuGet package restore. They always provide a clean environment to build on and even with package restore turned on you have to build twice with they don&rsquo;t do. It means you have to check your packages into git. Not the end of the world, but a bit annoying.</p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents><ul><li><ul><li><a href=#steps-in-the-process>Steps in the process</a></li><li><a href=#how-can-i-be-sure-im-deploying-the-right-thing>How can I be sure I&rsquo;m deploying the right thing?</a></li><li><a href=#downsides-to-appveyor>Downsides to AppVeyor</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/github target=_blank>github</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/nuget target=_blank>nuget</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/jimlib target=_blank>jimlib</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/continuous-deployment target=_blank>continuous deployment</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/appveyor target=_blank>appveyor</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/git target=_blank>git</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/continuous-deployment-with-jimlib/",this.page.identifier="162168e10facd542cb40011ab88c07c0"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

These are great if you like the cli, but if, like me, you&rsquo;d rather be able to do File->New then dotnet new is not much use. Instead you need a Visual Studio extension that provides a new project or solution type to the IDE. The good news is that you can easily take what you&rsquo;ve built for your dotnet new templates and create extensions for Visual Studio for both Windows and Mac with not much extra work.</p><p>In this post I&rsquo;ll look at VS 2017 for Windows, in the next post I&rsquo;ll cover VS for Mac. Although I&rsquo;ll look is not really correct - instead I&rsquo;ll be lazy and link to someone else&rsquo;s content ;op.</p><p>There is an extension for VS for Windows called <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Sayed-Ibrahim-Hashimi.SidewaffleCreator2017">Sidewaffle Creator</a> from <a href=https://twitter.com/sayedihashimi>Sayed I. Hashimi</a> that provides all the help you need. You load up the project that you generated your NuGet package from into VS, then add a new Template Pack Template project from the SideWaffle extension - this new project is your VSIX.</p><p>You can see all this in detail in this YouTube video from Sayed:</p><div style=position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden><iframe src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/g6az_N95dVM style=position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0 allowfullscreen title="YouTube Video"></iframe></div></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin target=_blank>xamarin</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/visual-studio target=_blank>Visual Studio</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/extension target=_blank>extension</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/dotnet-new target=_blank>dotnet new</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/windows target=_blank>windows</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/creating-visual-studio-project-and-solution-templates-part-2-vs-for-windows-extension-2/",this.page.identifier="5d499aa30b77a8b936e99874c25d68be"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

This is a really nice, simple blogging platform with cheap hosting, built by some super smart people.</p><p>The theme support for Ghost is excellent with loads of good themes available (some for money, some open source), and really great documentation on how to create your own theme. Admitedly their marketplace leaves a lot to be desired but it&rsquo;s early days for the platform so I&rsquo;m sure this will improve.
The default theme Casper is quite nice, but there are better ones. I started off using <a href=https://github.com/axiantheme/ghostion>Ghostion</a>, but since the initial release, no more maintence has been done on it. It also had a few bugs which I needed to fix as well as neededing changes in a few places to add the tweaks I needed, such as links to my <a href=http://twitter.com/jimbobbennett>twitter</a> feed.

These sizes are:</p><ul><li>iPhone - 60x60 (note iOS6 was 57x57, iOS7 is 60x60)</li><li>iPad - 76x76</li><li>Retina iPhone (iPhone 4 and later) - 120x120</li><li>Retina iPad (third generation and later) - 152x152</li></ul><p>Note that the original iPhone size was changed in iOS7 - so whenever a new iOS version comes out it&rsquo;s worth checking if there are any size changes.</p><p>To get these working on my Ghost blog, I edited the theme. I am using a modified version of <a href=https://github.com/axiantheme/ghostion>Ghostion</a> which I will be tidying up and making available publicly when I get a moment. One note about Ghost - it provides it&rsquo;s own favicon in the root, so just by adding one to the root of your theme won&rsquo;t make it work - you will still get thge Ghost one. You have to place it somewhere other than the root and add links to the icons in your header.</p><p><strong>Note</strong>
I made a few changes to this after a comment from <a href=http://realfavicongenerator.net/>RealFaviconGenerator</a>. It looks like they have an awesome site to generate all the favicons you could need automatically. I haven&rsquo;t tried it out myself yet but will do next time I need one.</p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/ghost target=_blank>ghost</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/apple target=_blank>apple</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/favicon target=_blank>favicon</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/theme target=_blank>theme</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/ipad target=_blank>ipad</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/iphone target=_blank>iphone</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/favicons-2/",this.page.identifier="e50bb9c3d4d70ef0b335e55d4cabf860"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

This is reflected in how we can change our lives, not by a complete change, but by refreshing a part. In my case it was three and a half years ago. I was working in finance for some of the worlds largest institutions writing desktop apps, and I was bored. By doing boring work using old technology for people who only cared about how much money they could make I&rsquo;d lost my passion. No longer did I code at weekends or keep up to date with the latest cool things. In the end, enough was enough. I needed a change.</p><p>I decided mobile was the way to go, as I felt a strong interest in these new paradigms - the ability to take our content creation and consumption with us wherever we went. Looking around the technology landscape I discovered Xamarin. I could write mobile apps using C#, a language I was very familiar with, in Visual Studio, a tool I was also very familiar with. In a short space of time I took the plunge - I quit a job I hated and parked in a co-working space in Thailand with my MacBook, a Surface and a Xamarin license (and a very understanding wife and toddler). I spent 4 months learning this new, exciting technology.</p><p>At that point I couldn&rsquo;t find a job as a Xamarin developer, instead I went back to finance to pay the bills, but got heavily involved in the community. My passion was back so I wanted to spread this love around the world. I published code again, I blogged again, and for the first time I spoke at events, starting with meetups, then moving to international conferences. I&rsquo;d truly found my passion. Later I got a job as a Xamarin developer, moving to New Zealand. Here I got involved running the local meetups, spending time with the local Microsoft team helping at all day events. I even ended up writing a <a href=http://xam.jbb.io>book on Xamarin</a>!</p><p><img src=2017-10-24_19-53-48.png alt="Jim talking at Dev Days"></p><p>I went from bored, to full of passion for a technology that made mobile so easy. I&rsquo;d learned how much I loved presenting, so do it at every opportunity. I&rsquo;d reinvented myself, not by a conscious effort to become someone else, but by discovering who I truly am. I am more content with my life, I love what I do. And career-wise, it has played out incredibly well, with another Hit Refresh moment coming, that I will blog about soon!</p><p>There is a moral to this story - find what you love and use it to hit refresh on your life, who knows where it will lead!</p><hr><p>This post is part of the collection of #HitRefresh moments.

Jul 2, 2015</div></div></div></section><section id=single><div class=container><div class="row justify-content-center"><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9"><div class=pr-lg-4><article class="page-content p-2"><div style=text-align:center><p><img src=iBeaconLogo-1.png alt=iBeacon></p></div></br><p>So in preparation for my <a href=http://www.meetup.com/Birmingham-Xamarin-Mobile-Cross-Platform-User-Group/events/223173916/>upcoming iBeacon mini-hack</a> I&rsquo;ve been thinking about iBeacon security. For such a simple device, there is a lot of complex issues around their security to consider.</p><h6 id=ibeacons-are-defined-by-their-uuid-and-version>iBeacons are defined by their UUID and version</h6><p>A simple statement but with large undertones. An iBeacon is defined by it&rsquo;s UUID and version - something it broadcasts publicly to the world and is not locked down. There is nothing stoping you reading the id of an iBeacon and setting your app to detect it or your own iBeacon to use it.</p><p>Imagine the scenario - <a href=http://ibeaconsblog.com/asda-trials-in-store-beacons/>UK supermarket Asda are trailing iBeacons</a> to send customers offers and highlight their cheaper prices. The Asda app will monitor for the particular UUID/version combinations (or maybe just the UUID) and when it detects an iBeacon will send a notification to your phone with information. But whats to stop a rival supermarket doing the same thing? All it takes is someone to scan the iBeacons, get their Id&rsquo;s and register them in the app for the rival supermarket - you walk into Asda and get a notification that the average basket of shopping is cheaper somewhere else. They could even get down to the level of individual offers - if Asda have an offer linked to a particular iBeacon version the rival app could detect the same version and show a price comparison.
There is nothing that can be done to stop this - Apple will let you monitor for any UUID, they don&rsquo;t limit it based on your app. If two apps are listening for the same UUID they will both notify when the iBeacons are detected and nothing can be done to stop it. I have heard that in iOS 8.3 only one app will respond, I haven&rsquo;t had time to test this yet but in such a case how do you know the right app will respond?</p><p>Conversely what is to stop someone depositing iBeacons in a shop that doesn&rsquo;t support them. If a companies app responds to iBeacons what would stop them from doing guerrilla marketing and dropping iBeacons all around another similar store that causes notifications on their app to guide you away from the store you are in and into their store. Or even environmental activists dropping beacons that send notifications to their app when you use a store that goes against their principles.</p><p>A lawyer would be able to provide legal information on this, but I can&rsquo;t imagine it is illegal to have an app for supermarket A monitor iBeacons owned by supermarket B until a test case comes to court.</p><h6 id=ibeacons-can-be-spoofed>iBeacons can be spoofed</h6><p>Yup - they can be. There is nothing stopping you setting the UUID/version to be whatever you want. iBeacons come with a default UUID so you can connect from the suppliers app and you then update the iBeacon to whatever UUID/version you want. So there is nothing stopping you setting the UUID to match someone else&rsquo;s iBeacon and causing mischief or mayhem or worse.</p><p>Imagine a restaurant uses iBeacons placed on each table to allow their app to locate you at that table. You can order from the app and your food comes over. You then pay from the app - it knows where you are sitting so it knows what bill you are paying. But imagine if someone spoofed the id of your table to match the id of theirs - maybe by sending a much stronger signal from another device. Without realising it you&rsquo;ve just paid for someone else&rsquo;s lunch.</p><p>Imagine a worse scenario. iBeacons are great in stadiums to help locate your seat. In the event of an emergency a notification can be sent to your phone and based off your location you can be directed to the nearest exit. But in a terrorist scenario, what would stop them deploying iBeacons around so the app cannot locate you, or causes you to be directed towards the threat instead of away. This could lead to loss of life that is not easily prevented.</p><h6 id=ibeacons-can-be-hacked>iBeacons can be hacked</h6><p>Yup - they can be hacked. The mechanisms used to update the iBeacons from the factory can be used to update them maliciously. This is less of an issue as there are ways to secure access (for example the <a href=https://cloud.estimote.com>Estimote cloud</a>), but if they are not secured what is to stop someone walking around a shop and changing all the UUID&rsquo;s to match a rivals iBeacons so the rivals app is launched instead of the stores app. In these scenarios it&rsquo;s easy to catch the rival so I can&rsquo;t image a reputable company doing it - but activists might.</p><h6 id=how-to-get-round-this>How to get round this?</h6><p>Estimote offer <a href=https://community.estimote.com/hc/en-us/articles/204233603-How-Secure-UUID-works->Secure UUID&rsquo;s</a> which claim to constantly change the UUID but allow your app to range for the iBeacons despite the UUID changing. I haven&rsquo;t tried this out yet, but will do so soon and report back. Other than this, there is not much that can be done. I&rsquo;m hoping Apple will allow you to lock down a range of UUID&rsquo;s that your app can monitor for to disallow other apps for using them but I guess we will have to see what they do once iBeacon security hits the news.</p><p>For more reading about this, I recommend this <a href=http://blog.estimote.com/post/104765561910/ibeacon-security-understanding-the-risks>Fantastic blog post on the Estimote site</a>.</p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents><ul><li><ul><li></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/ibeacons-and-lack-of-security/",this.page.identifier="53aa2afc1b519dd739f78cb26f1a319e"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

The problem I&rsquo;ve come up against is that the example code uses the new Marshmallow permissions so I&rsquo;m having a bit of a headache getting it working.</p><p>I&rsquo;ve got a Tesco Hudl 2 as my only physical device, and thanks to the annoying way Android is repackaged by each hardware provider I can&rsquo;t update it past Lollipop.</p><p>The other option is an emulator, but these need Google Play services to enable the Nearby APIs.</p><p>You&rsquo;d think this would be easy, it&rsquo;s a pretty normal thing to do. Unfortunately it&rsquo;s not so easy. All the emulators don&rsquo;t come with these by default, which seems a strange oversight. Instead you need to install them later. Again, you&rsquo;d expect this to be simple. But it&rsquo;s not - at least not for Marshmallow. It&rsquo;s taken about 6 hours of downloading, trying and googling to get it working.</p><p>So here&rsquo;s how. All links mentioned are working at the time of writing.</p><p>First, install <a href=https://www.genymotion.com>GenyMotion</a>. Normally I would be extolling the virtues of Xamarin Android Player, but in this case I could not get their Marshmallow preview to work by following the Xamarin instructions.</p><p>Next create a new virtual device - I&rsquo;ve been using the <strong>Google Nexus 5X - 6.0.0 - API 23 - 1080x1920</strong> image. Start this up.</p><p>Then you need to install an ARM translator, this is available <a href="https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760974384">here</a>. Download it, drag it on to the running emulator. A dialog will pop up asking if you want to flash the ROM, click yes and let it install. Once done reboot the device from the ADB command prompt using the command:</p><pre tabindex=0><code>adb reboot
</code></pre><p>Then close and re-open the emulator.</p><p>After the translator you need to install the Lollipop version of the Google Apps package from <a href="https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891406">here</a>. Yup - the Lollipop version.

I&rsquo;m working on a simple node application for photo management - uploading, storing, showing thumbnail previews and showing the pictures. Nothing complicated but more of my self learning of node and javascript. Seeing as Apple have just announced <a href=https://developer.apple.com/swift/>Swift</a> I thought I might try to develop a simple iOS app in Swift that talks to my node app.
Once XCode is dowloaded over my pathetic broadband (5 hours 28 minutes remaining) I&rsquo;ll give it a go and blog about it.</p><p>In the meantime, I decided to eat some dessert. I make a mean version of banoffie pie, using raspberries which add a tartness that cuts through the sweetness of the pie.</p><p><img src=Cake-1.jpg alt></p><p>The recipe is simple. What, a recipe on a technology blog? Well why not - developers have to eat after a hard day pumping mouse and keyboard.</p><p>Base - melt a couple of ounces of butter in a pan, and add a small pack of finely crushed digestive biscuits (bung them in a ziplock bag and roll over them with a rolling pin). Press into a greased pie dish to make a bottom and sides and slap in the fridge.</p><p>Toffee - put an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk into a large pan of boiling water and boil for 3 hours. Make sure the can is always completely covered with water. After 3 hours, open the can and spread the contents into the pie dish. Be warned, the contents of the can is stupidly hot, will spurt out when you pierce the can with a can opener and sticks like shit to a blanket. Best to open it wearing oven gloves. Bung the pie dish back in the fridge.</p><p>Once the toffee is cooled, cover in raspberries. Then whip some cream with some hot chocolate powder (not cocoa, it&rsquo;s too bitter, needs to be a decent hot chocolate powder) and spread on top.</p><p>Then eat.

It’s now part of Microsoft’s ‘Any developer, any platform’ strategy, and allows you to write C# code that runs on iOS and Android.</p><p>In this talk we will briefly introduce Xamarin, then dive right into some code building a cross platform app that loads data from a REST service and shows it on screen - the kind of thing a real world app would want to do. We’ll see how much code can be shared between the iOS and Android app and how much has to be platform specific, look at what design patterns can help to increase the amount of code sharing, and briefly look at Xamarin.Forms as a way of targeting 99% code reuse.</p><p>By the time we’re done you should be able to dive right into Xamarin using the free community versions of Visual Studio on Windows or Xamarin Studio on Mac and be ready to play with building your first app!</p><p>Details here: <a href="http://northshore.netusergroup.org.nz/Meeting/Meetup/?id=M20160922">http://northshore.netusergroup.org.nz/Meeting/Meetup/?id=M20160922</a></p><h4 id=ui-testing-in-the-real-world---auckland-xamarin-meetuphttpswwwmeetupcomauckland-xamarin-meetupevents233436741><a href=https://www.meetup.com/Auckland-Xamarin-Meetup/events/233436741/>UI Testing in the real world - Auckland Xamarin Meetup</a></h4><p>Testing your mobile apps manually is time consuming and error prone. It’s much better to be able to create automation tests that can reliably, reproducibly and repeatably test your apps.</p><p>With Xamarin UITest you can write automation tests in C# that you can run against your apps on simulators or local devices. With Xamarin Test Cloud you can run these tests across thousands of devices in the cloud.</p><p>In this talk Jim will give an overview of UITest, show how you can use it to interact with your apps, show how the REPL gives you a way to interact with your app live inside a console.</p><p>After this Andrew will pick up the baton and talk about his experiences running these tests in the real world, discussing how to achieve the perfect balance between speed, reliability and ensuring your tests achieve their goal of proving your app works in the hands of actual users.</p><p>Details here: <a href=https://www.meetup.com/Auckland-Xamarin-Meetup/events/233436741/>https://www.meetup.com/Auckland-Xamarin-Meetup/events/233436741/</a></p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents><ul><li><ul><li></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin target=_blank>xamarin</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/talks target=_blank>talks</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/more-upcoming-talks/",this.page.identifier="ad7bed97c8f4d1a4442869c88aef7061"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

My code contains proprietry IP so I couldn&rsquo;t just send it to them, so I&rsquo;ve been trying to reproduce the issue in something I can send.
Turns out, I can&rsquo;t reproduce it either. It only happens with my Node soution run from one folder - if I copy the whole folder somewhere else it works. In the end the fix was simple - delete everything and re-clone from git. Once I did this, everything worked for a while - then VS crashed and the error returned.
It does seem as there are issues with NDepend and Node projects including crashing when right clicking on folders. Luckily the Node tools team are on it and have <a href=https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/workitem/1332>addressed it for a future release</a>.</p><p>Once I&rsquo;m up and running I&rsquo;ll be putting NDepend through it&rsquo;s paces with <a href=https://github.com/jimbobbennett/JimLib>JimLib</a> and adding more posts.</p><p><em>The features described and my opinions are based on my time spent with NDepend.

This new feature is thanks to a cool project started by Xamarin called the <strong>Nugetizer 3000</strong> (I do love <a href=https://twitter.com/migueldeicaza>Miguel</a>&rsquo;s naming conventions).</p><div class=image-div style=max-width:400px><img alt="Nugetizer 3000" src=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NuGet/NuGet.Build.Packaging/master/Nugetizer-3000.png></div><p>It&rsquo;s really easy to turn this on. From your project open the project properties and head to the &lsquo;NuGet Package -> Build&rsquo; tab. From there tick the &lsquo;Create a NuGet package&rsquo; box.</p><div class=image-div style=max-width:600px><p><img src=NugetBuild.png alt="Tick the &amp;lsquo;Create nuget package&amp;rsquo; box in the NuGet build tab of the project properties"></p></div><p>Once this is ticked you need to set up the metadata for your package, and this can be done from the metadata tab. You have to fill in everything in the &lsquo;General&rsquo; tab, and you can optionally fill in the &lsquo;Details&rsquo; tab.</p><div class=image-div style=max-width:600px><p><img src=metadata.png alt="Add all the required NuGet metadata"></p></div><p>Once you click &lsquo;OK&rsquo;, Visual Studio will add a new NuGet package to your project - <code>NuGet.Build.Packaging</code>. This package doesn&rsquo;t contain any assemblies, it just contains build targets to create the NuGet package.</p><p>Once this package is installed you can compile your project and it will spit out a <code>nupkg</code> file in the projects output directory. This package has everything all set up for it, including dependencies on all the packages and framework libraries used by your project.</p><p>This makes package creation easy as there is no faffing around with <code>nuspec</code> files and command lines. You can even control values such as the version by configuring project properties when calling MSBuild from the command line, very useful if you want to tweak the version number at build time.</p></article></div></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3"><div class=sticky-sidebar><aside class=toc><h5>Table Of Contents</h5><div class=toc-content><nav id=TableOfContents></nav></div></aside><aside class=tags><h5>Tags</h5><ul class="tags-ul list-unstyled list-inline"><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/xamarin target=_blank>xamarin</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/technology target=_blank>Technology</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/nuget target=_blank>nuget</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/visual-studio target=_blank>Visual Studio</a></li><li class=list-inline-item><a href=https://jimbobbennett.dev/tags/mac target=_blank>Mac</a></li></ul></aside></div></div></div><div class=row><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 p-4"><div id=disqus_thread></div><script>var disqus_config=function(){this.page.url="https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/nugetizer-3000/",this.page.identifier="97959bdfb1583ed07e26eb3292f77504"};(function(){if(window.location.hostname=="localhost")return;var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");t.src="https://jimbobbennett.disqus.com/embed.js",t.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(e.head||e.body).appendChild(t)})()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript></div></div></div><button class="p-2 px-3" onclick=topFunction() id=topScroll>

You can build simple workflows using capabilities from system apps and other apps, configure the data that comes in, then trigger these when things happen, such as calendar events, items changing in a folder or on demand.</p><p>These workflows can be wired up to &ldquo;Quick Actions&rdquo;, these are actions that can be applied to text or images and are called from the context menus in Finder or in a text box. They can also be launched from a keyboard combination or the touch bar.</p><h4 id=creating-a-quick-action-to-open-vs-code>Creating a Quick Action to open VS Code</h4><p>The first step is to create a quick action to open VS Code.</p><ul><li>Launch Automator</li><li>Create a new <strong>Quick Action</strong></li></ul><div class=image-div style=max-width:480px><p><img src=2018-12-13_14-01-47.png alt></p></div><ul><li>Configure the workflow:<ul><li>Set it to receive current <em>&ldquo;files and folders&rdquo;</em> from <em>Finder</em>.</li><li>Set and image if you want one - I used the icons from <a href=https://github.com/cnstntn-kndrtv/open-in-buttons-for-finder-toolbar>this GitHub repo</a>.</li></ul></li><li>Add a new <strong>Run Shell Script</strong> action to the workflow.<ul><li>Set the <em>Pass Input</em> to be <em>&ldquo;as arguments&rdquo;</em></li><li>Set the shell script to be:</li></ul></li></ul><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-sh data-lang=sh><span style=display:flex><span>open -n -b <span style=color:#e6db74>&#34;com.microsoft.VSCode&#34;</span> --args <span style=color:#e6db74>&#34;</span>$*<span style=color:#e6db74>&#34;</span>

Unfortunately not on an action-by-action basis, but you can add a button that shows the quick actions.</p><ul><li>From the Keyboard settings in System Preferences, select the <em>Keyboard</em> tab.</li><li>Click <strong>Customize touch bar&mldr;</strong></li><li>Drag the Quick Actions button down to the touch bar and position it where you want.
