NDA: Non-Disclosure Apps Apart from apps for my own direct clients, I also do app development, optimization and debugging for other app shops. This is mostly done under NDA. Contact me if you’re interested in having an app developed – e.g. the Android version of an already finished iOS app – or if you need me to debug […]
Using Genymotion’s Android emulator with Titanium The Android emulator is slow – really slow. Thanks to Intel we can speed it up with the x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM), but as you can tell by reading the Appcelerator blog or even Alberto’s shorter version it’s not that easy to set-up. What we really need is Genymotion – the fast en easy to use […]
VerhaaltjesApp voor Android De VerhaaltjesApp is nu ook verkrijgbaar voor Android phablets en tablets. De in-app aankopen verlopen via Google Wallet.

Apps in Business Op 20 november spreek ik in de Amsterdam Arena. Nee, niet op de grasmat, maar op het Apps in Business Congres.
Dynamic menu for tab groups NOTE: There’s a better way to do this described here. Quoting the Titanium API docs: Prior to Titanium 3.0, menu items could be added to the individual windows of a tab group. Starting in Titanium 3.0, menus must be added to tab groups using the tab group’s activity. These changes were required to support the […]
Parental gate for kids category With iOS7 Apple introduced a new kids-category in their App Store. To be listed, apps have to meet some additional guidelines, including “Apps primarily intended for use by kids under 13 must get parental permission or use a parental gate before allowing the user to link out of the app or engage in commerce.”
URL schemes for iOS and Android (2/2) Last month I wrote a blog on how to set up your app to be opened by using an URL. Now let’s look at how do that from an email or webpage.
