Old 10-20-2010
Well I'm brand new to both Linux and Android. I bought my wife an Android phone about two weeks ago. After falling in love with the platform I started doing some research. Found out it was based on or an extension of the Linux system. Just received the Google app creator (yes, in less than 10 days). Just installed my first ever Linux OS. I'm now trying to learn and understand both as fast as I can.

Any links, or information anyone can send my way for learning and understanding Linux and the Android platform would be appreciated. I have created a couple real basic apps, Google made things real simple with the app creator.

Are there any Android developers on this forum? If so what have you created and/or what are your current projects?

Thanks,

-Par3me

NAME
native2ascii - native to ASCII converter SYNOPSIS
native2ascii [ options ] [ inputfile [outputfile]] DESCRIPTION
The Java compiler and other Java tools can only process files that contain Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded (udddd notation) characters. native2ascii converts files that contain other character encoding into files containing Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded charaters. If outputfile is omitted, standard output is used for output. In addition, if inputfile is omitted, standard input is used for input. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -encoding encoding_name Specifies the encoding name that is used by the conversion procedure. The default encoding is taken from system property file.encod- ing. The encoding_name string must be one taken from the first column of the table of supported encodings in the Supported Encodings document: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html -reverse Performs the reverse operation: converts a file with Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded characters to one with native-encoded characters. -Joption Pass option to the Java virtual machine, where option is one of the options described on the man page for the java applica- tion launcher, java(1). For example, -J-Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes. It is a common convention for -J to pass options to the underlying virtual machine. 22 Jun 2004 native2ascii(1)
