if the unnamed google debugging tools are so powerful, why is it that
you couldn't use any of them to get *sample* *code* to work?

Look nospam, I get it you lied about coding as it's clear you've never
written even a single app in your entire life. You fabricated it.

But I wrote more than a dozen tutorials, every single step, every single
line of code, and I PUBLISHED them, and they're on the net for all to see.

Do I need to POINT to them just to prove what anyone can tell?

Here it is, nospam. A dozen tutorials PURPOSEFULLY HELPFULLY published:
*Report: My first "hello world" using Android Studio freeware on Windows*

<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/aW64zYeBtF0/m/DK2hrO7tAQAJ>

I told the truth. *You lied*.

Your whole life people have told you that you were stupid, nospam.
So you feel _desperate_ to lie to claim skills you clearly do not own.

At least I have a dozen apps published on the Android ng, with the src.
You have zero.

Each app was changed in ways that needed to be changed to work on the
hardware I used and with the emulators I used and with the phone I used.

All that is covered, in honest detail, in that thread nospam.
That thread has more coding than you've done in your entire life, nospam.

Bear in mind, I don't claim to be a developer; you do.
And yet, you've never once ever written a single line of code in your life.

While I've only published a dozen Android apps in my entire life, that's a dozen more apps than YOU have ever published in your entire life nospam.

Please stop fabricating that you wrote apps.
It's a brazen unsubstantiated lie.

To the _adults_ on this newsgroup... I am NOT a coder but I played with
Android to the point that I published a dozen purposefully helpful noob beginner's tutorials, starting with, you guessed it, "hello.world.apk".

What has nospam published to be purposefully helpful to the newsgroups?
HINT: Absolutely nothing.

bullshit.

You _hate_ that everyone knows you fabricated that you are a developer.

The fact is I never said I was a developer, and, in fact, I said quite the opposite which was that I started with "hello.world.apk" and after about a dozen apps, I wrote a TraderJoe.apk app which is my personal shopping app.
*Report: My first "hello world" using Android Studio freeware on Windows*
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/aW64zYeBtF0/m/DK2hrO7tAQAJ>

That one app is more coding than you've done in your entire life, nospam.
You lied about being a developer.

Everyone knows that you are fabricating that you're a developer.
I'm not fabricating that I'm not.

Yet here's src I published YEARS ago on that personal grocery app, nospam.
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/aW64zYeBtF0/m/_XB6MWE4BQAJ>

That one post contains more code than you've written in your entire life.
*You lied*

The reason you lied is your whole life everyone told you you're stupid.
You lied about being someone. Being a developer. An intelligent person.

Yet, you fabricated the entire story, nospam.

You think everyone doesn't know you fabricated being a developer, nospam?
It's what you uneducated iKooks do.

Just like Chris lied about having a PhD in the life sciences and yet he
didn't even realize how huge the virus genome is in terms of viral
particles, nor did he know the most basic of immunological terms.

Just like Alan Browne, Alan Baker & Jolly Roger lied about having even the
most basic of rudimentary knowledge about BMW debugging tools, nospam.

All you iKooks suffer from the same problem of low IQ and no education.
All you can do, is fabricate your endless lies.

*It's clear that nospam is lying when he "claims" to be a developer*

Hehhehheh... these iKooks never stop their brazen lies about everything.

All I've ever wirtten in terms of coding smartphone apps is I wrote a dozen "hello world" style step-by-step tutorials for Windows/Android...
*Tutorial: My first "hello world" using Android Studio on Windows *

<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/aW64zYeBtF0/m/DK2hrO7tAQAJ>

And yet as trivially simple as those dozen complete tutorials are, that's a dozen more apps than nospam has ever written and published in his life.
*nospam I want to know what apps you've written*

<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/hEpF3EA1eDo/m/myK4LTtpBAAJ>

It was clear from that alone, plus thousands of incorrect statemens about coding from nospam, that nospam has never written code in his entire life.

This... is nospam... where he uses his lies to break out of his world...
<https://img.yumpu.com/6936343/1/500x640/standouts-the-beat-within.jpg>

All the iKooks live in a fantasy world, where nospam is a brazen liar about
his coding skills... which... let's face it, if he had _any_ coding
experience, he wouldn't have been wrong _hundreds_ of times when you ask
him if there are apps on the app store that "do stuff" such as, oh, let's
pick graphical wi-fi debugging - where nospam didn't know the difference between a megabit and a decibel.
*It's a fact iOS devices can't even graph Wi-Fi signal strength over time*

There is zero chance nospam has written a single app in his entire life.
He wouldn't be so dead wrong so many times on his claims had he done so.

Two ways to respond to that, one of which is to let you know I don't use a newsreader since my "editor" is 'vi' and my 'newsreader' is 'telnet' so the headers, like wrapping paper, aren't the package which is the gift inside.

The gift of my information is not in the headers - but in the message body.

The headers are almost arbitrary (I don't even choose them, just as I don't choose my timezone nor my encoding nor any line in the header). They all
come out of a dictionary lookup that is locked down per identity & ng.

As for the main point, the point I am making about the iKooks is they all suffer from the same low iQ and lack of self esteem and they're all liars.

For example, I showed you exactly the dozen Android apps I used for the tutorial (with every single step outlined of how to compile & push to the phone, even down to how to create the icons and activities & the like).

I said I'm not a developer, but I published those dozen tutorials anyway.
*Here are a dozen complete Android apps for you to compile & upload*

<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/aW64zYeBtF0/m/UGv7e6lvBAAJ>

Notice every single step, and every single line of source code is provided
in those dozen tutorials, even though I am decidedly _not_ a developer.

Yet nospam "claims" to be a developer.
Hehhehheh... he is a liar.

*It's obvious nospam has never written a single line of code in his life.*

The reason nospam lies is he was told his entire life by everyone around
him that he's stupid - so he lacks the self esteem that he would have if,
all of a sudden, his lies could elevate him to the level of a "developer".

By doing so, nospam proves to be no different from this guy...
<https://img.yumpu.com/6936343/1/500x640/standouts-the-beat-within.jpg>

In stark contrast, the low-IQ uneducated iKook nospam _claims_ he is a developer, but it's clear he has never written a line of code in his life.
*nospam I want to know what apps you've written*

I've played with ChatGPT to write some basic snippets of code, and it
can do that pretty well (easier to head over to github and find better
stuff if you need it).

As an example I asked it to write a simple command-line Python program
for Mac OS to display images from a folder and to advance to the next
image when I hit spacebar. The code would not run w/o error: the image
code library it wanted to load did not exist. The code "looked" okay,
but it would not run.

Which is to be expected. It's simply sourcing code snippets that are
available on the net, many of which are incomplete, buggy, and not
suitable for working production environments. Garbage in, garbage out.
In the end it's not much more useful than a visit to StackOverflow.
You'll still need a human being to clean the code up, refactor for

Well, it's not that bad. As an example I had it write quicksort in C
using the variable types and labels I wanted. It spit it out in a
recursive version. I told it to re-write non recursively and it did so.
I examined but didn't test the code - but it was right - basic 201 stuff.

Then repeated it for Pascal, Fortran, Ada, Python and Modula-II.

All looked okay - all were in the form of functions or procedures that
still needed a program around them to test.

Had it write some functions in x86_64 and ARM assembly as well. The
intel stuff looked right; ARM: dunno.

You think you're pulling a "clever trick" over me by repeatedly "not"
saying that Apple is the only consumer OS suppler who cynically
purposefully _cripples_ the app store so that a "normal" person can't
install the app... because... Apple prevents the app from being there.

You seriously think you're "confusing" me by saying, instead of that truth, that you, apparently the greatest developer on the planet, can _write_ the
code that Apple prevents existing on the app store.

You think you're being clever, nospam, like a kid which who just kicked the
dog on purpose who tells his parents the dog "fell down the stairs" nospam.

You think I don't realize your claim is that you, the greatest developer
that ever lived, could write the program even though Apple won't let that program be on the app store.

Your point is the _phone_ is capable of doing what Apple disallowed in the
app store, which is a strawman you built because you can't face the facts.

Nobody disputed ever that the phone _hardware_ can do what Apple disallows.

You're so stupid, the _only_ way you can respond to the facts is for you to build that imaginary made-up strawman, so that you can beat that to death.

I repeat...
1. You own the brain of a child.
2. You "think" you're clever.
3. You're not.

the fact remains Apple _crippled_ the iPhone in terms of torrenting.
You hate that fact.

In addition, Apple is the _only_ common OS that does that, nospam.
You hate that fact also.

But the fact you hate these facts doesn't change those facts being facts.

*Either agree with the facts or continue to prove you are an imbecile*

You're so incredibly stupid, that you actually think you're being clever.

For one, you own the brain of a child, nospam.
And, for another, you've never written a single line of code in your life.

in terms of Apple's zero days being exploited more than others (due to
the primitive stone-age iOS update monolith), and, as a result of Apple's restrictive app policy - iOS users enjoy far less app functionality.

By controlling iOS, like a dictator controls a country, the users lose
because Apple _never_ has the consumers' best interest in mind.

*Apple is like a tobacco company in almost every respect.*

but I had trouble finding anything in those links which addressed
Android's capabilities in a similar fashion to the Accessibility
features of iOS hearing aid support. Manufacturer apps just don't seem
to tap into the additional functions available at the OS level, but
admittedly my sample size is only one...

that's because hardware manufacturers generally are not good at writing software, even with some of the larger companies who have the budget to
do so, with camera companies being one of the more common examples.

if their apps are cross-platform, they are limited to features common
between both and ignore anything unique on only one platform.

Hi badgolferman (via nospam's inelaborate desperate mere excuse above)...

I do on Android anything that I want to do on Android, whereas on iOS,
Apple severely cripples what anyone can do, so the images below are only
for Android - but they are all mine - so I've done everything I claim.

(Unlike nospam, who elevates himself to "developer status" even as that's clearly a brazen lie as he has never written a line of code in his life.)

Since nospam's response was a classic "I wish iOS could do the things iOS clearly can't do so I'll just claim that iOS is better without any facts"

Unlike nospam, who doesn't even own the Android devices he claims to know
so well (hell, nospam doesn't even own a modern iPhone), I not only own
a modern Android device, but I've created Shortcuts to Activities on them.

Hence, I will provide to badgolferman some images I have in my archive
of things I've done, along the lines of creating shortcuts to do things,
some of which are similar to what badgolferman wants for switching radios.

1. Accessing network modes which are hidden from an unknowing user base.

<https://i.postimg.cc/QtpNV3Lg/intent06.jpg> App is installed from F-Droid

9. This basic changing of default Shortcuts is _impossible_ on iOS!

<https://i.postimg.cc/Z5s60RZH/icon05.jpg> Android gives you full control
--
The main reason iOS has far more security holes than Android, and far more exploited security holes, and far less functionality is due to Apple's
strategy of controlling every aspect of the operating system & app choice.

It doesn't help that Apple's R&D spend is the lowest of all tech companies. (HINT: Apple is no different than soda or tobacco companies in product.)

Good. Point to YOUR code and I'll compare it for you.

I'm not claiming to have written any.

Do you understand that one can compare code without needing to have
written any?

I'll patiently wait but do not reply without a link to YOUR code please.

He worked his way through a tutorial that basically spoon-fed him.

You only read the first post.
He created entire apps from scratch.

Show me one.

I'll show you where he plagiarized it from.

Maybe you don't know how to read code after all.

Maybe you don't understand what "compare" means.

Just like I'm waiting for the nospam guy to point to his make believe code.

His code started with hello world and then he added more things over time.
