Hi, I'm looking for a calendar control (aka date-picker) that works on mobile devices. The problem is most devices are w/o JavaScript, or with poor JavaScript support.

Any other time, it won't even ask permission to use the network. Here's the method in question: private static String defaultURL = "http://www.roostercogbu...

Hi everyone, Has anyone dealt with the SMPP binary SMS protocol? I know this technology is still fairly widely used by the messaging aggregators and carriers, but it seems like the SMPP spec is not being updated, and support for SMPP libraries is slowly fading away.

Does anyone have recommendations on messaging for multi player games on mobile platforms? I assume SMS would be too expensive for the average player. I'm not talking about lots of real-time messages, but simply one message per player per round to all other players. Is there any available messaging that is cross platform (say, windows m...
