IOS 11 vs ANDROID OREO


Flashiest new features

Android Oreo:
  • Shrinking a video or Google Maps navigation into a floating thumbnail so you can keep an eye on it while you do other things (called picture-in-picture)
  • Auto-selecting a name, phone number, address or business to copy/paste
  • Brush up on everything new in Android Oreo
iOS 11:
  • Paying your friends in iMessage using Apple Pay
  • Playing audio on multiple speakers in your house
  • Here's everything new in iOS 11
Winner so far: Android Oreo. Picture-in-picture and the enhanced copy/paste are little things that can go a long way in making the phone more useful day-to-day. And unlike iOS, Android phones could already play music from the phone to multiple speakers (as long as they're Chromecast-compatible).
However, peer-to-peer payments in iMessage is a great addition to the native messaging app (which Android lacks on all phones).

Voice assistant



Apple has Siri and Android has Android Assistant (and Google Voice Search and Google Now). Siri gets a bunch of updates to make it look better, give it a new male voice and guess what you might want to know next. Google Assistant will get a mode that can identify objects (called Google Lens) and the ability to type queries, not just speak them.
Winner so far: Android Oreo, even though voice additions are ho-hum. The underlying platform is so much more expansive, accurate and knowledgeable than Siri. At WWDC, Apple missed an opportunity to showcase the digital assistant it helped make a sensation in the first place. It'll have a chance to redeem itself in September during the expected reveal of the new iPhone.

Spring Security with JWT for REST API

Spring is considered a trusted framework in the Java ecosystem and is widely used. It’s no longer valid to refer to Spring as a framework, as it’s more of an umbrella term that covers various frameworks. One of these frameworks is Spring Security , which is a powerful and customizable authentication and authorization framework. It is considered the de facto standard for securing Spring-based applications. Despite its popularity, I must admit that when it comes to single-page applications , it’s not simple and straightforward to configure. I suspect the reason is that it started more as an MVC application -oriented framework, where webpage rendering happens on the server-side and communication is session-based. If the back end is based on Java and Spring, it makes sense to use Spring Security for authentication/authorization and configure it for stateless communication. While there are a lot of articles explaining how this is done, for me, it was still frustrating to set it up for the f...

Java Functional Interfaces

  The term   Java functional interface   was introduced in Java 8. A   functional interface   in Java is an interface that contains only a single abstract (unimplemented) method. A functional interface can contain default and static methods which do have an implementation, in addition to the single unimplemented method. Here is a Java functional interface example: public interface MyFunctionalInterface { public void execute(); } The above counts as a functional interface in Java because it only contains a single method, and that method has no implementation. Normally a Java interface does not contain implementations of the methods it declares, but it can contain implementations in default methods, or in static methods. Below is another example of a Java functional interface, with implementations of some of the methods: public interface MyFunctionalInterface2{ public void execute(); public default void print(String text) { System.out.println(t...

In Java, Logging is an API that provides the ability to trace out the errors of the applications. When an application generates the logging call, the Logger records the event in the LogRecord. After that, it sends to the corresponding handlers or appenders. Before sending it to the console or file, the appenders format that log record by using the formatter or layouts. Need for Logging It provides the complete tracing information of the application. It records the critical failure if any occur in ...
