Another non-GPL&#39;d library (this one is Apache License 2.0), the one used in Google&#39;s Androidify app: svg-android

Well, not exactly. But I do have ported libsvg to android, which enables you to load SVG files and plot them to a Canvas.

The closest thing that I could find was [svg4mobile][1].

While I don&#39;t believe that it does transformations to Drawables XML, it does read the svg and make the appropriate calls to the Drawable classes.

Besides the 2 GPL libraries mentioned, there is a commercial library called [TinyLine][1] that implements the SVG Tiny subset, which although more limited may be a better licensing choice, if you want to create a non-GPL&#39;d application.

Currently some people including me work on it independently.&lt;br/&gt;

The great [AndEngine][1] has an extension for loading SVG and rasterizing it into the texture with any resolution, with color replacement and other great features. Really works. For example you can try [a free game][2] by engine author.

I&#39;m running two cron jobs:

This one executes without a problem:

    curl -sS http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1

But this doesn&#39;t run at all:

    curl -sS http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1&amp;month=1

Is this because of the ampersand (`&amp;`)? If yes, how to pass multiple parameters?

Using `argv` is not an option.

I searched, but surprisingly couldn&#39;t find an answer.

I have a long `NSString` that I want to shorten. I want the maximum length to be around 20 characters. I read somewhere that the best solution is to use `substringWithRange`. Is this the best way to truncate a string? 

	NSRange stringRange = {0,20};
	NSString *myString = @&quot;This is a string, it&#39;s a very long string, it&#39;s a very long string indeed&quot;;
	NSString *shortString = [myString substringWithRange:stringRange];

It seems a little delicate (crashes if the string is shorter than the maximum length). I&#39;m also not sure if it&#39;s Unicode-safe. Is there a better way to do it? Does anyone have a nice category for this?

How can I truncate an NSString to a set length?

I&#39;m wondering how vector drawing in Android with the `Shape` class may resemble another vector drawing standard.

Since `Shape` is a `Drawable`, and Drawables are usually defined as XML, it sounds a lot like the vector drawing commands in SVG.

My question is this: Has anybody created an XSLT transformation, or other mechanism, for converting an SVG drawing description into Android Shapes?

I want to use a custom font for my android application which I am creating.  
I can individually change the typeface of each object from Code, but I have hundreds of them.

So,

  - Is there a way to do this from the XML? [Setting a custom typeface]
  - Is there a way to do it from code in one place, to say that the whole application and all the components should use the custom typeface instead of the default one?

Using a custom typeface in Android

I have an `ImageView` with a source image set in the xml using the following syntax:

&lt;!-- language: xml --&gt;

       &lt;ImageView 
          android:id=&quot;@+id/articleImg&quot;
          style=&quot;@style/articleImgSmall_2&quot;
          android:src=&quot;@drawable/default_m&quot; /&gt;

Now I need to change this image programmatically. What I need to do is delete the old image and add a new one though. What I have done is this:

&lt;!-- language: java --&gt;

    myImgView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.monkey);

It works but I noticed android stacks the new image on top of the old one (dont ask me how I found out it&#39;s not relevant for the discussion :). I definitely need to get rid of the old one before setting the new image.

How can I achieve that?

What&#39;s the easiest way to convert from an `android.net.Uri` object which holds a `file:` type to a `File` object in Android?

I tried the following but it doesn&#39;t work:

```lang-java
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), &quot;read.me&quot;);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
File auxFile = new File(uri.toString());
assertEquals(file.getAbsolutePath(), auxFile.getAbsolutePath());
```

Anyone know how this can be done? Would you use a canvas object, svg, jQuery, etc?

Capture Signature using HTML5 and iPad

So, I have an SVG file in HTML, and one of the things I&#39;ve heard about the format is that it doesn&#39;t get all pixelated when you zoom in on it.

I know with a jpeg or whatever I could have it stored as a 50 by 50 icon, then actually display it as a (rather pixelated) 100 by 100 thumbnail (or 10 by 10), by manually setting the height and width in the image_src tag.

However, SVG files seem to be used with object/embed tags, and changing the height or width of THOSE just results in more space being allocated for the picture.

IS there any way to specify that you want an SVG image displayed smaller or larger than it actually is stored in the file system?

jquery&#39;s append not working with svg element?

In HTML, I can clear a `&lt;div&gt;` element with this command:

    div.innerHTML = &quot;&quot;;


Is there an equivalent if I have an `&lt;svg&gt;` element?  I can&#39;t find an `innerHTML` nor `innerXML` or even `innerSVG` method.

I know the SVG DOM is a superset of the XML DOM, so I know I can do something like this:

    while (svg.lastChild) {
        svg.removeChild(svg.lastChild);
    }

But this is both tedious and slow. Is there a faster or easier way to clear an SVG element?

Should I use `&lt;img&gt;`, `&lt;object&gt;`, or `&lt;embed&gt;` for loading SVG files into a page in a way similar to loading a `jpg`, `gif` or `png`?

What is the code for each to ensure it works as well as possible? _(I&#39;m seeing references to including the mimetype or pointing to fallback SVG renderers in my research and not seeing a good state of the art reference)._

Assume I am checking for SVG support with [Modernizr][1] and falling back (probably doing a replacement with a plain `&lt;img&gt;` tag)for non SVG-capable browsers.

Do I use &lt;img&gt;, &lt;object&gt;, or &lt;embed&gt; for SVG files?

I am currently investigating the possibility of rendering vector graphics from an SVG file using OpenGL and OpenGL ES. I intend to target Windows and Android. My ideal solution would be to have a minimal C library that generates a polygon triangulation from a given SVG file. This would then generate standard OpenGL or OpenGL ES calls, and use a display list or vbo for optimization when redrawing. I would simply draw a display list to draw the vector image after translating and rotating, allowing me to mix this with other OpenGL calls.

So far I see that the suggestions are to firstly use QT or Cairo. - This is not an option given that I wish to manage my own OpenGL context without bloated libraries (in the context of what I am trying to achieve). Nor is this suitable for Android.

Second option is to use libraries that render to a texture. While this might be ok for static vector graphics, it&#39;s not an efficient or feasible option for games where scaling and rotations occur frequently.

Thirdly there is the possibility of using OpenVG. There are some opensource implementations of the OpenVG specification (ShivaVG etc), but I am yet to find a library that is capable of generating the appropriate OpenVG calls from a given SVG file at runtime, and I can&#39;t see how to optimize this as we might wish to with a display list or vbo.

All three methods suffer limitations. I think the most promising option is using an OpenVG implementation if no other solution exists. So my question is, are there any libraries out there that do what I want, or close to what I want? If not, is there a good reason why not? And would it be better to attempt to do this from the ground up instead?

SVG rounded corner

I was fiddling with Xcode 6 vs images assets when I noticed something **very** interesting: we now can specify vector images in them (go see in the Utilities pane after selecting Images.xcassets).

I tried a small app (containing a big UIImageView) with a .SVG image (didn&#39;t work), then a .EPS (didn&#39;t work either) and I finally tried a .PDF It worked! Well, although I saw the image, It appeared pixellated and not vectorized.

So it seems Apple is preparing the way for vector icons/images. No more zillions versions of app icons, no more &quot;@2x&quot; images. But can anyone unlock that feature?

I need to change the stroke color from the app.  The user is able to change the background color so I need to also let them change the stroke (outline) of the button. As its is already set in the drawable (sample below) I have not found a way to change this.
