Install django in virtual environment

# Pre req:

I am using ubuntu 10.10 for this tutorial. Setup environment for python

# Install Django:

   Run below commands to setup django and create my first app

  pip install django

# Create test project 

  django-admin.py startproject testsite

It will create the testsite as project. Each project consist of many sub projects call apps. Lets create a app and call it soapapp, Which will take input soap requests. and will response json. I will write a blog on it latter on.

python manage.py startapp soapapp

Use terminal and write these command

>> ls

  

you will see component if django app like views, models, tests with (py) extensions, ofcourse it is python project

Views.py

So in views. py we will create a view. A simple code that will response ok is attached

import json

from django.http import HttpResponse

def hello(request):

    response_data = {}

    response_data['result'] = '200'

    response_data['message'] = 'ok'

    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(response_data), content_type="application/json")

URLs.py

Lets create urls class, where we will register url for above create view.

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

from views import *

urlpatterns = patterns('soapapp.views',

   url(r'^hello$', 'hello', name='hello'),

)

Register this url file in main app urls.py

 

so from command line open

/venv_hello/testsite/testsite$ sudo gedit urls.py &

And append this line in url

url(r'^soap/', include('soapapp.urls')),

Run app:

To run this app open email folder, root of the app, as we have testsite. There type command

sudo python manage.py runserver

you can see reponse http://127.0.0.1:8000/soap/hello

You can download sample project from this link.

Setup environment for extension for my SmartWatch 2

In this blog I will demonstrate how to set up environment for development of apps for SW2.
I purchase SW2 because of its benefits written below

 # Now I can set my mobile on silence mod in office. When any call comes SW2 notify me.

# I have 5 inc mobile. Now I dont need to pick up every time I gets any notification. I just use my watch to see if the notification is important for me i.e I wana reply only then I pick phone. It saves time for me ... as I am a busy guy :)

# I can take selfy by adjusting my mobile on some place and with the help of  SW2 I can capture picture.

# There are holes in software of this device, there are great opportunities to build software for it

So let us make this watch more useful

Pre req:

Before start you must have installed android SDK, eclipse, ADT.
Set up you SW 2 (Smart watch 2).

Step 1 Install Sony SDK:

# Open Android sdk manager, Select tools ->  Ad on sites. And select user defined sites.

# Click new button and insert => http://dl.developer.sony.com/wearables/sdks/Sony_Add-on_SDK/Sony-Add-on-SDK.xml in text box. click OK and close.

# You can see a package name Sony Add-on SDK under Android 4.2.2 (API 19) and a package  Sony Add-on SDK in packages -> extras. Install this package.

#    Now after installation open File -> Import ->  Existing Android Code Into Workspace -> your android SDK/add-ons\addon-sony_add-on_sdk_3_0-sony-19\samples\SmartExtensions

Import projects in this folder. If you find any dependency issue. Right click each project and go to Properties -> Android -> Android target project and make it 4.4.2. After doing this to all clean and build workspace.

Step 2 Run a project on smartwatch 2:

# Now run a sample project. Lets say HelloActiveLowPowerPreferenceActivity. If your SW2 is connected with phone you can see below app, On Clicking text counters increment .
