Android Tutorial: Painting to the Screen - Part.1 = 6:52 - Part.2 = 11:49 - Part.3 = 10:54

Android - Best Game Tutorial (Painting to the Screen) - Best Basic Programming Help for Your Android Game by Josh Back

Welcome to Android Best Game Tutorial, my name is Nicola Scanni

I have edited this video in order to help android developers producing the best game possible for android operating systems with or without experience. This video will allows you to paint to the screen.

Divided in three parts, this video will show you how to use a bitmap.

This step by step tutorial will allow web developers and or just beginners to create a game using Java in android operating system. If you have some experience with other programming languages like C#, C++ or Action Script this video may result so easy like a walk in the park. However, if you do not have any programming experience, do not worry. Simply follow the lesson in a perusal manner by making sure you don't miss any steps.

Once you have grabbed it, expand your imagination by changing the design, the behavior, create your own version of the game and publish it on Google Play. Keep in mind that you may find yourself stuck during this tutorial but, once again do not worry ...trial and error is the best way to learn. Use the web and search for a solution. Believe me most of the time it will be a word misspelled or a comma you forgot to type in.

If you are using Android Studio, make sure you check the log for errors. Paste that error on your favorite search engine ( I suggest you to use Google search engine and Google Chrome as a browser) and open the page you chose to see on a new window. In this way you won't need to use the back button and your page with the result will always be available. Most of you may know this very well but, I thought it is always worth to mention it.

Beginners may find difficult to install and use the Virtual Device on Android Studio. Better yet even install Android Studio and the SDK.  Subscribe to my video on Web Magic Dreams as I will add other tutorials related to this, or if you think you can make it on your own use the links below.

I hope you read all of my description here as well, since at the bottom I have added very useful links that without a doubt will help you in your goal.

DJ Trip: Live Performance – DJ Trophy 1991 – Bari – Italy.


Welcome to my Channel. This video is dedicated to Cesare Tripodo a.k.a. DJ Trip. I met Cesare in the year 1985, while buying vinyl records at Stereo Mondo a local record store in the center of the city of Bari. I was just 16 years old, and I was so scared to approach someone I knew was a great DJ. I began mixing only a couple of years before at a radio station called Bari Radio Gamma. Astonished by his friendliness, the extreme humbleness and affability he showed and, surly surprised, I would have never thought that, in the following 30 years of my career where I traveled the World and the seven seas I would have never met again a human soul with the same heart or nevertheless the same talent. DJ Trip is my Myth, my Hero and the person whom inspired and always inspires me during my career and life.
25 years later, after his tragic disappearance, another famous DJ, Pasquale 33, delivers to me two mixed audio cassettes with my name on it. He tells me that he found them in the DJ Trip’s Records case. Those two cassettes and their significance will always rest with me, just like the memory of the only time we worked together. I had the pleasure of introduce him in this video made by Miki the Red of Red Film Production, during the second edition of DJ Trophy in 1991. Stereo Mondo of Giorgio Ricci organized this event, with Service e P.A. of Diemmebi service Discoteca Mobile Bari of Nico Iannone. The venue’s name was Fiera Del Levante, and the Exhibition name Expo Levante.  
Cesare Tripodo had just won the Italian Championship of the D.M.C. circuit and just placed second on the same event in the European tournament. Unfortunately, an unstable platform compromised a bit his performance, which stands anyway as a memorable one, along with the rap of Master Freeze. For those few who did not have the pleasure to know him, DJ Trip was renowned for his DJ talent. Spinning with two turntables and a two-channel mixer, Cesare often used the scratch technique with mix cutting, back spinning (usually using two versions of the same track) and punch-sing, mixing hip hop vinyl with his feet moving the fader with his nose and mouth, with the clock theory technique. To learn more about DJ Trip please visit the following links. It was just a reason to be together with you dear friends and with the great Mater Freeze.
My channel is introduced by the famous actress Grazia Daddario: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4419032/ and https://www.facebook.com/grazia.daddario.1

Bruno Mars - Clean Bandit - Live Concert - Cover - Christmas Italy

Bruno Mars – Treasure
Clean Bandit – Rather Be

We may breathe Christmas air in this town located in the south region of Italy, Apulia. In Bari, people can experience these kind of live performances. On December 21st standing, dancing and singing on a balcony overlooking the jam-packed Via Sparano, two talented singers are performing cover versions of many popular pop songs. I was lucky to take a quick video shot while they were singing Treasure by Bruno Mars and following Rather Be by Clean Bandit.
Over 10.000 fortunate people soon transformed themselves in fans, thanks to the quality of the performers, the organization and the choreography of a beautiful adorned street. It is not a case that this street in Bari happens to have a bunch of famous stores like Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Emporio Armani, Hermes, Max Mara, Trussardi, Zara, Guess, H&M, The Disney Store, Foot Locker, North Sails, Sephora, Vodafone and so on.
This was not the only event in this town. An article from the national newspaper “La Repubblica” underlines some other like «Natale nella città di Santa Claus» for the entire day in piazza Umberto in Carbonara, part of the show "Le Tradizioni". Other activities in the afternoon: At 17.30 in the church of San Nicola in Catino, you may see the theater of marionette, after an half hour a Street band will perform in corso Garibaldi (municipio V). At 18.30 there will be two concerts at the same time of Alberto Jovene Trio in the garden Lubich (Russian Church) and a Street band performing in the center’s streets, from via Manzoni up until Bari vecchia (old Bari). At 19, instead, in via Sparano there will be the Eurobandmurgia's streetband and at 19.30 in the church of “Gesù Cristo dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni” people can enjoy the “Concerto di Natale” (Christmas Concert) by the “Coro Pugliese” from the same church. Bari does not forget those in jail in fact the “Vescovo” of Bari, monsignor Francesco Cacucci, will meet them all in the city of Bari: the visit promoted by the Lions Club Toritto and the association Cassiodoro will donate one hundred Centenary Bibles.

After this intense weekend, live nativity representations will go around the Apulia Region – from Mola di Bari which hosts the nativity of Troia, in the hystoric center -, while in Bari the ornaments of the renowned “sala Murat, of “Spaccabari” (from 10 until 13 and from 19 until 22). The Christmas’s party against Ebola is organized by the “comitato barese of Unicef: in an effort to collect resources to help the research against this awful desease, at 21,30 at Dickens Inn of Bari, in via Demetrio Marin 37, the musical group Nerds Band will perform (Info 080.523.54.82).
There is also an archeologic gift for the children with “I piccoli alla scoperta di Bari sotterranea” – a trip in the city under the city: every day until the January 6th, from 17:00. Kids will be fantasizing between dream and reality; they will meet the hidden treasures of Bari, and have an archeologist as a tour guide like Babbo Natale, accredited by the Soprintendenza Archeologica of Puglia. A trip back into time, between gutters and unseen grottos, to meet the legendary Nikolaus, in the World a.k.a. Santa Claus (info 340.954.64.76). Talking about Babbo Natale, at the Fattoria didattica of Bari (via Canonico Annibale Maria di Francia) between the elivery of letters, and “elfi assistenti”, caramels e gifts (info: 392.370.69.87). The “residenze reali of Torino”, from the “Venaria alla Casina di caccia di Stupinigi”, become the live theater of the fairytale, one most loved by us. “Cenerentola” (Cindarella), a blooming flower that emerges from dust and coil, in a great dance in search for that love that always triumph.
In the end slate, you may also enjoy the actress Grazia Daddario
You may recognize her, as she is present in numerous Italian movies like "Tale of Tales" “Odore di Pioggia” L’anima Gemella and many others.

Ways to Make Money for Everybody ...in less than 3 minutes.

At the time of this recording, out there are many ways to make money especially over the Internet. I will mention those who I am sure will bring you some money. Believe me, this will be the best day of your life.

My name is Nicola Scanni.
With a degree in Multimedia and a passion for Technology,
I have a tendency to pass along my knowledge in a very simple way.

First, if you are watching this video you know about YouTube. YouTube, through its partner program allows anyone to make a channel just like mine. Then later, by adding advertising to your videos through AdSense, it pays you right back. I cannot tell you how much money and how much time and effort it takes. It is a long shot but it is not a shot in the dark. Check out the link below about the Copyrights and learn about it very well because otherwise you will be just wasting your time if you not do it right.

Then there is a website called Option Outpost, it is very easy you just answer few more questions of a number of surveys and you will earn points that will allow you credits and money. You will be surprised to learn how many companies just need to know your opinion about products. It is their marketing tool and they will pay you for it. Just go to their web address, the link is provided below, sign up and start earning money. It works, and it is not a fraud.

Next, every one of you have pictures, some of you can make a song or a website. Pond 5, a great website allows you to earn money by selling what you already have or what you are willing to make. You decide how much it cost, you can change the price at any time and they will give you 50%. With their great marketing, they reach out to many companies that just needs your work. Go to their website and sign up and do not tell me you do not have pictures you think it is worth something. Just make sure it is yours and you never uploaded it to any other website before.

Another way is to learn how to make android applications. You may be able to find some free tutorials here on my channel. Then if it’s not enough and you want to learn more I suggest you to go to lynda.com and sign up for their online school. I believe it is the best resource there is to get you right where you need to be. Soon every company in the World it is going to need some sort of application and on top of that, once you are good at it, you do not even need them since you can just publish it yourself. It is a boring job, but it pays off.

Finally, if you liked my Tutorial, do not forget to Subscribe to my Channel.

How to Connect your Computer via HDMI with a TV o Monitor - The Best Way Possible.

The Best way to Connect your Computer via HDMI with a TV or Monitor is to program it, not to mirror the Computer's Screen but, to Extend it, allowing the user to work with both devices independently and at the same time. Using therefore, both devices in their full capabilities.

My name is Nicola Scanni.
With a degree in Multimedia and a passion for Technology,
I have a tendency to pass along my knowledge in a very simple way.

In this step-by-step tutorial for Windows users, I will teach you first, how to connect these devices and then, how to program your computer to separate them.
In addition, I will explain how to switch the monitor (Left or Right) depending on your setup needs while easing your dragging experience.

Do not worry if it sounds complicated, I can assure you ...it is not.
I will explain it in a very simple way therefore, even if you feel you are a beginner or if you have very little knowledge, it will be easy just like a walk in a Park.
The advanced users instead, can easily jump to step 3 by reading the description below. Ready? Let’s Go.


Step 1)

Find the HDMI Female Entrance in both your Computer and Your TV or Monitor and calculate the distance related to your setup planning. Go ahead and buy the HDMI Cable with the proper length you have just calculate.
Keep in mind that there are several types of cables the one I am showing you has a Gold Plated Plug. This will guarantee you the best quality connection and it will never oxidize or rust. This type of cable can also be adjusted for an angular setting. Other types of cables may bend too much and with time rip themselves apart. However, their cost is almost the double respect to the regular one. Therefore, it will be up to you to choose the type that better fits your purpose.


Step 2)

First, Insert the HDMI cable into your TV or Monitor than plug in the other end of the cable into your Computer. A double tone sound should play to make you notice that your Computer has recognized the device. Now, you can right click with your mouse on a free space of your Computer Screen and choose Screen resolution.
If you do not have a mouse with a right button go to Start > (The Windows LOGO) > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Change display settings. The Windows program automatically chooses the best display settings, including screen resolution, refresh rate, and color, based on your monitor. These settings differ depending on whether you have an LCD or a CRT monitor.


Step 3) Advanced User May Start Here.

Go to Multiple Displays and Change the Default Setting from Duplicate these Displays to Extend these Displays.
This setting, will allow you to Play and Listen to your favorite Video by dragging it from the Computer to the TV or Monitor and have at the same time, the Computer Screen FREE to make your Google Search or to use any other software for your convenience.
Depending on your Computer's Video Card, you may be able to change the Volume with the Remote Control of your TV or Monitor.


Step 4)

Depending of your setup, you may need to switch side for an easier dragging solution. In my case, my TV is on my LEFT and my Computer is on my RIGHT. Therefore, it seems appropriate and spontaneous for me to Drag items from Right to Left and not from Left to Right as in the Default setting. The solution is simple. Click (ONCE) and Drag the TV Screen's Icon over the Computer's Icon and Click Apply. The last thing I would like to mention is the possibility to have your TV or Monitor as the Main Display. First Click (ONCE) on the Monitor's Icon and Then Check Mark where it says Make this my main display. Click Apply and your TV or Monitor will became your main display. This is very useful if you have a Wireless Mouse and you Need or just want to be able to move around in your room.

In addition, if you also need to be able to type in a web address or anything else, I suggest you to take a look of my Tutorial at this Address http://youtu.be/lvGK9-1n9p8 , which is also, easily clickable in my Description Below. Finally, if you liked my Tutorial, do not forget to Subscribe to my Channel.
You will be then notified every time I Upload a new Tutorial online Here on YouTube.
If you have any question please leave a Comment, I will answer them ASAP.

Thank You for Listening and Enjoy your new HDMI Setting.

How to connect your Laptop, Android, IPhone and or Tablet to your TV Wireless - Tutorial.

How to connect your Laptop, Android, IPhone and or Tablet to your TV Wireless - Tutorial.

Hello, in this video I will show you how to connect your Laptop, Android, IPhone and or Tablet to your TV wireless. For this tutorial, I am going to use a Galaxy 4 mini, a Laptop with Windows 7 that connects to a non-Smart TV with an HDMI cable. With a Smart TV, it will be actually easier, just connect it to your Wi-Fi using the network setup and download the necessary program. If you use a Mac or IPod and IPhone, the steps are the same, just download the proper software.

Every unit you want to connect must download MirrorOp software, which you will find at the webpage: "http://mirrorop.com/product.html". At the time of this recording, the file is MirroOp Sender Version 2.0.3.2.

In my case, I click Windows. Now check if you meet the software requirements. If you not sure, download the Benchmark Tool. This program will test your laptop.

Once downloaded the file must be extract and installed. I have already installed it and that is why it is asking me if I want to test it again. Therefore, keep in mind that the screen shots may be slightly different. Once launched, check the result. In my case, I have five stars; it means that my System and Video Card passed the test.

We can now go back to the webpage and click Try Now to download the software. Once we see that it works we may decide to click on Buy, pay 10 bucks for every unit and enjoy the software with unlimited time. In fact, be aware that after few minutes your trial version will shut down. - Once extracted, proceed to install it. Once installed do not launch the application, as you will incur in several connection problems.

Now, I will do a similar operation using Google play with my galaxy 4 mini. I connect my mobile phone on my home Wi-Fi network and I look for MirrorOp Receiver. Once found I download it and install it. Once installed, I launch the program obtaining this image you see on the screen, which tells you that your mobile is waiting to connect to your laptop.

Now, we are ready to launch MirrorOp Sender from my laptop. Provide the Wi-Fi password and then click to connect. My mobile is now connected and I am receiving the images from my laptop. I can now navigate to my favorite website from far, by example sitting on my couch using the keyboard of my mobile and using the browser from my laptop. With the laptop connect via HDMI to my TV I can move the browser with a wireless mouse and check out the website on my TV.

If you want to see the files you have stored on your mobile on your laptop or on your TV, you will then do just the opposite. Download from your mobile MirroOp Sender, and from your Laptop or TV MirrorOp Receiver. I hope is all clear now. In any case leave a comment and I will answer to you. If you liked this tutorial please subscribe, I will soon have much more useful videos to show you.

Converting Audio From a Cassette to MP3 - Tutorial.

Converting Audio From a Cassette to MP3 - Tutorial.

Back in the 80s, the preferred form for playback and recording Music was the Cassette Audio Tape, a magnetic tape that reproduces analog audio. Nowadays, it is a whole different ball game. Many of us, uses the MP3 Audio compressed digital audio format which ensures a decent sound quality, while occupaing the minimum storage data of your favourite sound player.

My name is Nicola Scanni.
With a degree in Multimedia and a passion for Technology,
I have a tendency to pass along my knowledge in a very simple way.

In this step-by-step tutorial for retro music lovers, I will teach you first, which kind of components you need to gather
in order to convert the audio from your cassette to MP3 and, then the best way I know to create the digital audio you need.

Ready ? Let's go!

You need three Componenets: A Cassette Player - An RCA Cable - A Computer.

First you need a Cassette Player that can playback your type of audio tape. No matter which kind it is, it needs to have an audio Exit. The speakers by Example are an audio exit however, if you decide to record with a microphone from your speakers, You will also record the background noise of your room and the sound quality will be compromised therefore, I strongly advice you against it. The plug you use for your headphone is a decent audio exit and can be used for the purpose of this tutorial with the appropriate cable. However, is best if your cassette player has an RCA audio exit just like the one you see in this video.

In order to grab the audio from the cassette player I am using an RCA shielded cable using at the other end a Phone Connector Adaptor,
in order to connect it to my computer. The shield prevents any kind of electromagnetic interference providing the best sound quality. In any case, use the type of cable you want however, if you hear a buzz in the recording, now you know why.

Now insert the cable into the microphone plug of your computer.
Then go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Sound Recorder.
Play the tape and hit the Start Recording button.
At the end click on Stop and Save your file.
Now you can listen to your tape in digital WMA format.
If you need the MP3 format download any of the free Audio Converters and make it happen.

On my Channel I have many interesting tutorials. Therefore I would like to suggest you to take a look of my Tutorial that explains how to connect your Android with your TV wireless by clicking the link below http://youtu.be/lvGK9-1n9p8 , This tutorial is also, easily clickable in my Description.
Finally, if you liked my Tutorial, do not forget to Subscribe to my Channel.
You will be then notified every time I Upload a new Tutorial online Here on YouTube.
If you have any question please leave a Comment, I will answer them ASAP.

Thank You for Listening and Enjoy your new Digital Audio Sound.

Whats App Free Phone Calls - Calculate and Compare Data Usage with Facebook and Hangouts.

Whats App Free Phone Calls - Calculate and Compare Data Usage with Facebook and Hangouts.

Starting from April 1, 2015 the application WhatsApp, offers to every user the possibility to make a voice call for free with your Android Telephone using just an Internet Connection called Voip (Voice Over Internet Protocol).
My name is Nicola Scanni.
With a degree in Multimedia and a passion for Technology,
I have a tendency to pass along my knowledge in a very simple way.

In this step-by-step tutorial for Android users, I will teach you first, how to check if you have the appropriate application version and install it if you don’t and then Compare your WhatsApp Data Usage with Facebook and Hangouts application.
If you do not have WhatsApp on your Android Phone, go to Google Play Store, Click on Apps and type whatsapp in the search bar. Click on the Green Icon, and then on Install.
For all those users that already have it installed, let us check instead, if you have the right Version.
Click on the WhatsApp Icon, then press on the bottom left to display the menu and Click on Settings. On the top Click on Help and again Click on About. At the time of this recording, the version is 2.12.5 and this version is good to make a voice call. If your version is lower by Example 2.11.5, you need to update the application.
There are two easy way to update it:
1. Go to the internet page: https://www.whatsapp.com/ and download the WhatsApp.
2. Go to Google Play Store, search the App as described before and Update it.

When the installation ends, go to the WhatsApp application, launch it, and you will now notice three bars on top: CALLS – CHATS –CONTACTS. Calls, works just as the Call Logs of your telephone, it will keep track and display the outgoing, the missed and the received phone calls. Chats will list your messages with other users and Contacts will display which person from your contact list have the application already installed and ready for voice calls, and at the end scrolling down, which instead is not yet available, giving you the chance to invite them.

In order to make a voice call, click on the name you wish to Contact and then on the phone icon on your top right.

I actually wanted to have a different ring tone in order to distinguish a regular phone call from a WhatsApp call.
If you would like to do that as well, you need to open the application, click at bottom left for the menu' and choose settings. Then go to notification and, roll it all the way to the bottom, uncheck contact Ringtone then, click on ringtone and select a new tone different from your default one. Now, when someone calls you with WhatsApp you will know right away.

If you are making a call while connected to your WI-FI, the call is free, if you are out you will use some data of your plan.
Thanks to traffickk.com, I can give you the approximate voice call data consumption, in kilobytes for a one-minute call.
WhatsApp: Call 1: 483 kb - Call 2: 484 kb.
Facebook Messenger: Call 1: 347kb - Call 2: 345kb.
Hangouts: Call 1: 570KB - Call 2: 520KB.

On my Channel I have many interesting tutorials. Therefore I would like to suggest you to take a look of my Tutorial that explains how to connect your Android with your TV wireless by clicking the link below http://youtu.be/lvGK9-1n9p8 , This tutorial is also, easily clickable in my Description.
