My most recent blog articles are on Medium.
This week, Square introduced Square Cash, a new service that lets you send money to your friends through email.
To use it, just send your friend an email with the amount in the subject and Cc cash@square.com.
That’s it, you don’t need to install any new app, go through a painful signup process, or use a specific email provider.
It’s free, simple, secure.
A few months ago, Square published a great article on Transparency with JPEGs on Android. It’s definitely worth reading! Just don’t use the provided code yet :) .
Romain Guy suggested in the comments that you can do this in a much more efficient and simpler way, either by using a BitmapShader or by playing with Porter-Duff blending modes.
Using a bitmap shader is great for dynamic masks. To apply a static mask to a bitmap loaded from a JPEG, Porter-Duff is the way to go, as we will see in this article.
Facebook recently released a new feature in Facebook Messenger: Chatheads.
I was surprised that chatheads could be drawn on top of any app. Here is a quick explanation of how it works.
This article reviews different ways to create dynamic translatable strings in Android.

Un Android Developer Labs (ADL) s’est déroulé à Paris jeudi 27 et vendredi 28 octobre 2011, traitant de l’optimisation des applications Android pour les tablettes.
J’ai eu la chance d’être invité à cet évènement ; j’en ai donc profité pour prendre des notes afin de pouvoir retranscrire le déroulement de cette journée (l’ADL du vendredi
Comme je vous l’indiquais dans un précédent article, chez Siine, nous hébergeons nos projets sur GitHub, et chaque User Story fait l’objet d’une branche dédiée.
Lorsqu’une branche qui a fait l’objet d’une pull request est validée, elle est mergée sur la branche d’intégration. Nous n’avons cependant pas pris l’habitude de supprimer ces branches une fois mergées. Je pense que nous aurions probablement du les supprimer au fur et à mesure, car nous nous retrouvons aujourd’hui avec de nombreuses branches mergées, qui ne servent à rien et qui polluent nos repository.
