Why dont I write an Android version of PDX Bus

This is one of the most common questions about PDX Bus,  and I have not really answered it.  So here goes!

Firstly - part of me really likes the idea of porting the app to Android.  Being an iPhone developer for a free app can be incredibly annoying:

• I have to pay Apple $100 a year for the privilege of being able to put an app on a device.  (Yes the Civic App awards prize money covers that, but it i still annoying that actually I am the only one who has to pay to use PDX Bus!).
• The app approval process is still slow and feels random.  You may get rejected as Apple may simply decide your app does something they dont like.  It can take anything from 2 days to 2 weeks to get approved.
• Technically, the apps in the app store cannot be "free" by the definition of the GPL - apps cannot be shared or modified by their users.  Kids cant experiment with writing apps.  It feels like censorship. This is just annoying.

So why dont I just recompile it for Android.  :-)  Here this bit gets technical.  Basically Ill have to start again... (Skip this technical bit...).

• PDX Bus is written entirely in Objective-C, Android apps are written in Java or recently C/C++.  You might think that this is a small difference...  Objective-C is quite different from these languages in syntax. The code looks really different, it would need completely re-writing.
• The back end data retrieval code is tightly coupled to Objective-C frameworks.  For example, Apple provides an XML parser - this returns the tags and data in Objective-C associative arrays ("NSDictionary") from which you access the XML tagged data and place it into objective-C objects for use by the UI.  Thisll need completely re-writing.   PDX Bus currently deals with 10 different XML schemas for the different data.
• The GUI is written entirely with Apple frameworks (UIKit) and none of it can be re-used - Android GUIs have a completely different paradigm.  The GUI has been a lot more work than the back end.     Even the Google Maps API is completely different on the two platforms.

Summary:  Almost none of the PDX Bus code can be re-used as-is for Android.  Some of the design and flow could be re-used, but still, there would be a lot of re-coding.   I dont have the time for this!

ANP contemplates post Aye Maung era

By DVB 5 January 2018

The recent resignation of party leader Dr. Aye Maung looks set to dominate discussions at the Arakan National Party�s (ANP�s) Annual General Meeting this week in Sittwe.

As around 100 party members gathered for the 4-7 January summit in the Rakhine state capital, several representatives voiced their disquiet with Aye Maung quitting as ANP chairman in November, and some have even proposed rejecting his letter of resignation.

Aye Maung was regarded as a party stalwart and is one of the most outspoken politicians in the country. An ex-veterinarian, his  political career began when he formed the Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP) to contest the 2010 general election. He led the RNDP into a merger with its main regional rival, the Arakan League for Democracy (ALD), led by Aye Thar Aung. Negotiations between the two parties took some eight months before they agreed to form the ANPin January 2014. But the merger has never been a harmonious marriage, being fraught with rivalry and conflicts since the outset.

Now members must face the prospect of an ANP without its frontman, and contemplate during the four-day AGM how they can move forward.

ANP general-secretary Tun Aung Kyaw told DVBthat although Aye Maung was invited to the AGM, he has not yet appeared.

Jacob Zuma – I Don t Want To Ever Hear Of Anyone Killing Nigerians In South Africa Again

The President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, yesterday, warned that no Nigerian citizen should be killed in any part of his country.


Zuma was quoted to have made the statement in a release in Owerri, Imo State capital, by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Rochas Okorocha, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, after receiving the Imo Merit Award and signing of Memoranda of Understanding, MoU, between Zuma Foundation and Rochas Foundation of Africa.

Also in the release, Zuma said no South African citizen should be killed as he called for stronger partnerships between Nigeria and South Africa.

This came as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has condemned the latest extra-judicial killing of another Nigerian, Ibrahim Olamilekan Badmus, aged 25, by South African Police, on October 3.

According to the release by Imo government, �President of South Africa, Mr. Jacob Zuma, has said that a South African must not kill a Nigerian and a Nigerian must not kill a South African, adding that the relationship between both countries should be stronger than any other for the sake of the continent. �Africans must come together to address African problems.

We are the same people. We cannot succeed if we handle problems as individuals. We need to recognise that we are one.� � as SA Police kill another Nigerian.
According to the Nigeria Consulate in South Africa, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate, IPID, in South Africa has begun investigation into the killing of Badmus, the first time an independent unit will be conducting such an investigation.

In a statement made available to newsmen yesterday, Mrs Dabiri-Erewa called on the South African authorities to ensure that the investigation is thorough and justice is done in the interest of the cordial relationship between the two countries.

Dabiri-Erewa commended the efforts of the Consulate General, Godwin Adama, who immediately led a team to visit the scene of the incident and interfaced with angry Nigerians to douse tensions.

The killing of Badmus is coming barely three weeks after another Nigerian, Kingsley Ikeri, 27, was killed by the South Africa Police. On the five injured Nigerians in the hospital, Dabiri-Erewa said the report from the Consulate revealed that it was as a result of the altercation with the South African Police, following a video clip that went viral on the killing of Badmus.

�Let me appeal to Nigerians in South Africa to remain calm and avoid any further face off with the Police and await the outcome of the independent investigation on the latest killing,� she added.
