Learning about AWS(Amazon Web Services)

-

Definition - What does Amazon Web Services (AWS) mean?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a bundled remote computing service that provides cloud computing infrastructure over the Internet with storage, bandwidth and customized support for application programming interfaces (API).
Launched in 2006, AWS is provided by cloud solution concept pioneer Amazon Inc. Amazon's internal IT resource management built AWS, which expanded and grew into an innovative and cost-effective cloud solution provider.


Amazon launched AWS during cloud computing's early transitional phase. Prior to the launch, Amazon rebuilt its infrastructure to consolidate server power and storage after realizing their host servers were approximately 50 percent below capacity. AWS resides on the same infrastructure as the host of Amazon's other Web properties, such as Webstore.
Amazon packages AWS with scalable and virtually unlimited computing, storage and bandwidth resources. AWS uses the subscription pricing model of pay-as-you-go or pay-for-what-you-use.
AWS services include:
  • Amazon Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2)
  • Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
  • Amazon CloudFront
  • Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS)
  • Amazon SimpleDB
  • Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS)
  • Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)
  • Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)
Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 are the two core Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) services, which are used by cloud application solution developers worldwide.

Styling Bottom Navigation Off the bat, the library provides considerable styling options. But after recent updates, there has been a lot more. Some of these additions include notification badges and coordinating behaviors. It also includes  on-scroll Quick Return pattern . Its all that one could ever want with the Bottom Navigation. This library is much more feature-rich than  what Android Design Support Library offers . So if you want more customization options and more control, you know what to use. Before we get to that, here’s a heads-up. We’ll be using and referencing a lot of colors. Normally, we reference colors in Android like this: ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.id.yourcolor); Now I’m no fan of writing such a lengthy line for fetching a simple color resource. So I’ll write a simple method that shortens what I have to type. private int fetchColor( @ColorRes int color) { return ContextCompat.getColor(this, color); } Great! From now on I don’t have

Lottie Animation in Android

Gradle is the only supported build configuration, so just add the dependency to your project  build.gradle  file: dependencies { ... compile 'com.airbnb.android:lottie:2.2.5' ... } Lottie supports ICS (API 14) and above. The simplest way to use it is with LottieAnimationView: <com.airbnb.lottie.LottieAnimationView android:id="@+id/animation_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:lottie_fileName="hello-world.json" app:lottie_loop="true" app:lottie_autoPlay="true" /> Or you can load it programmatically in multiple ways. From a json asset in app/src/main/assets: LottieAnimationView animationView = ( LottieAnimationView ) findViewById ( R . id . animation_view ) ; animationView . setAnimation ( "hello-world.json" ) ; animationView . loop ( true ) ; animationView . playAnimation ( ) ;
