A Better Inbox View

After studying my inbox view and trying to make it closer on how Gmail handles the content especially the text/plain that has hyperlink and the ability to wrap whenever it's too long; I realize that Google was just too brilliant for me to handle.

As I try to work out why my Javamail content data won't initialize the hyperlink and wrap I began to realize two important things. These are:

1. Even though I already created and tested the code that will handle those string and will inspect word for word on any possible hyperlink. Javamail seems to have issues with "getcontent functions" because I cant manipulate the content string but if append a new string the code works.

2. I think Google has a separate code for handling the wrapping of data. I have search everywhere to find a code in HTML/CSS that will wrap a very long word like hyperlink in facebook and I couldn't find one.

Even though I manage to fail on trying to make it as good as Gmail the good news is I created my own. Which I think is good enough.

Check this out...




This is the original Gmail...




This is my old style...



This is the new style...

The difference between the old and new if you notice is the old style affects my original interface whenever I encounter a very wide message.

The solution was very straight forward; If your using GWT use HTMLPanel so you can perform the HTML codes.





This is how it looks like when its on normal mode.

For the meantime I will keep my text/plain-converter-hyperlink on a safe locker.

Apple's Edge Over Microsoft?

In the world of IT, models created by business empires will dictate the future of their products. Microsoft is using the component model as the key to win customers and Apple is using the end-to-end model. Microsoft Windows platform crushed Apple's Macintosh platform the day Microsoft release Windows 98 and pirates come out in the open and dominate every stall in our local mall and computer shops. iPod maybe the best and coolest mp3 player that I have ever seen but I still don't think that Apple will dominate the cell phone era for this place belongs to Asia particularly Nokia and Sony Ericson. I don't know why Walter Mossberg thinks US company will always dominate the world when in fact there is another company that belongs to the world and its called Open Source. I think he is dead wrong with his perception. Without a doubt nobody comes close to iPod in the field of mp3 player however, with the release of Sony Ericson latest cell phone such as W900i. An intelligent human ...

It was simply the best place for people who want to collaborate and enjoy together.

GWT+MySQL Best Practice

Image
Migrating from GWT-EXT to native GWT has never been an easy task as I expect it would. I took me some moths to really absorb the fundamentals of its Java code, structure and pattern. The price for taking this challenge was undoubtedly more gratifying especially on performance and size. I had lesser reboot due to memory leak and I had better handling on syntax especially on database due to its strict use of its object. Here are some improvements on my code: DatabaseServiceImpl.java String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/"; String db = "mydb"; String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; String user = "myuser"; String password = "mypassword"; public String connectDatabase() { String resultString; try{ Class.forName(driver).newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db, user, password); //conn = DriverManager.getConnection...
