OpenGl ES :
Opengl ES is an another way to create watch faces. openGL is very much known graphic engine where one can create 3D or 2D object easily with lots of animations, lighting, shedding etc. In our project this is important because in our watch faces there are lots of object which we have to draw using openGL.

Marquee Text Android: Using RecyclerView like Ticker

Android Spinner with Dialog Box

Why this post? Sometimes for visual effect, we need to show the spinner item in a dialog box which is most customizable and designable. UX engineers also try to make the more complex situation. That's why I made a spinner where spinners item will be shown in the dialogue box. Techniques which I used: For this purpose, I used Dialog, RecyclerView and EditText. 1.

Then item text will set on EditText.

Comparison Between SOAP and REST

SOAP and REST can't be compared directly since the first is a protocol (or at least tries to be) and the second is an architectural style. This is probably one of the sources of confusion around it since people tend to call REST any HTTP API that isn't SOAP. Pushing things a little and trying to establish a comparison, the main difference between SOAP and REST is the degree of coupling between client and server implementations. A SOAP client works like a custom desktop application, tightly coupled to the server. There's a rigid contract between client and server, and everything is expected to break if either side changes anything. You need constant updates following any change, but it's easier to ascertain if the contract is being followed. A REST client is more like a browser. It's a generic client that knows how to use a protocol and standardized methods, and an application has to fit inside that. You don't violate the protocol standards by creating extr
