In the world we currently live, in order to get access to most of the available goods and services like — obtaining a loan from the bank, securing a job, gaining admission into a tertiary institution, ordering a drink at the Bar, even accessing medical treatments — we constantly have to prove our identities to these service providers as they are mandated to ask for certain credentials in order to ascertain we are authorised to access such services. These credentials could include Certificate of Land Ownership, Bank statements, Official School transcripts, Drivers License, Birth Certificate, etc.
These credentials that stand…
Prior to the release of the Firebase ML Kit, Face detection was part of the Google vision package. As of now, further support for the Face detection, Image classification and OCR (Optical Character Recognition), would be available in the Firebase ML Kit.
I recently dabbled into the awesomeness of the Face detection package, which is included in the Firebase ML Kit and so far, the experience has been good. Its a good choice for Face detection for the following reasons.
- It is maintained by Google.
- Its lightweight, except you, are a mad ass Machine learning expert, then you can create…
Do you know that apart from persisting your data(primitive values) to a bundle in onSaveInstanceState() method(During configuration changes), you can also do that using one of the Android Architecture Components ?. Do you also know that it goes beyond the ability to persist primitive values by further allowing you to persist Objects ?. Finally, do you know that there’s a way to keep your UI in sync with the data it needs, apart from however you might have been doing it?.
If any of the above interests you, then you are welcome to this tutorial on how to get started…
I have known Andela for quite sometime now and have always admired what they do to transform the tech ecosystem here in Africa, especially in Nigeria. I also have attempted applying for their Fellowship program but was in-eligible because as at that time, i was still in school and didn’t possess my NYSC (National Youth Service Corp)Certificate as required by Andela for individuals with a University degree. As at the time of writing this post, i am still not eligible because i am currently undergoing the compulsory one year NYSC scheme.
When Andela advertised for the ALC program in collaboration…
If you have your head down in the tech industry home and abroad, then its no news that some programming language, just got the blessings of a father like is done in Africa. Kotlin the modern programming language which has been around for quite some time as a side chick, just became an official language for the Android platform, as announced by Google at their annual Google I/O conference.
Kotlin, seems to be a pretty promising language that aims at not reinventing the wheel of programming rather taking it to a whole new level as is seen on their website…
Hello dear and welcome back to my blog where i make you make sense outta your Java programming journey. Trust me, starting out programming with Java(“especially when its your first time to programming”) can be stressful and abstract(“nothing seems to make real sense to you”). That’s why some people like me who have passed some hurdles in learning Java(“am still learning”) have decided to share knowledge with you, we’ve decided to take out the pain of trying to understand Java concepts by presenting it to you in a lay mans way.
Quickly, lets dive into the topic of today, which…
Hello and welcome back again to yet another important concept in Java. Like i always say, every nitty gritty in java is and will always be relevant and important. Lets dive straight into the topic of today. Return… This
Welcome, back again, if you have been constantly keeping up with this Java series, then I want to say a BIG thank you to you for taking time to read through my efforts and if this is your first time, then welcome on board. This blog series is not like any other type that you may have encountered, its different in the sense that you don’t come here to learn what you already know(“we don’t show you the codes you already know”) instead we build upon that not too solid knowledge. …
Welcome back fellow dedicated blog reader to yet another exciting topic in Java. Now, as the usual tradition has always been with this blog post, it is expected that the reader of this post is a newbie to programming in Java and is also involved in active coding as i will not be showing snippets of codes but only a graphical representation of them.
Note: the aim of this blog is to share my knowledge in Java as i progress deeper into it. …
As we go about our daily lives, as we try to get things done daily, we come in contact with objects of various kinds and we use these objects to carry out various task.
