It's most likely done with trackers. Apps today are now, for the most part always including Trackers. Yes, you've read about Ad-Sponsored Apps but there's more. There's always more.

Take a look at https://imgur.com/gallery/dumrc to start your journey of learning about Trackers in Apps.

I can only hope that we see a way to submit an App to see what's inside. But in short, if you use an app with trackers, that can leak as you noted then cause Google Ads to use targeted ads.

From the link above, some information you need to know about these trackers. WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

Flurry and Nexage are two of the trackers, and if you go to the above page, you will find that there is a collected information page that details some of the behaviours of the apps.

Flurry in particular, is a Verizon/Yahoo (now called Oath) venture that will, undoubtedly raise hackles.
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/06/oath-verizon-completes-4-5-billion-buy-of-yahoo-and-merges-it-with-aol/

Flurry watches how you interact with other users in the app, and culls a lot of other data to create and individualized portrait of you as a consumer.
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/trackers/25/

Nexage is also an Oath product that precisely monitors your individual usage, your location using all available suites like Cellular/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/GPS, which makes me wonder if they're accessing this information while the application is off because these all can be accessed while they're turned off in some phones) and will associate all that recon data with all other information. They also state …

Now you make me worry that Ionic has blown their installer up. Get to the authors there and ask what's going on.

To me, after reading your post twice I get the feeling this is the following question.

How do I sell my Java app?

It appears that's been kicked around for over a decade so the answer is up to you. You can do this however you want today.

I have to ask. Are you attempting to make a SODAR?

When I read https://wiki.python.org/moin/Audio/ I came away that this will be platform dependent so you should add tags for not only python but what OS and such you are targetting.

Have you tried what everyone has written about this error yet? I find this sort of error has over a dozen fixes and I've yet to fix it on the first try.

Read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question next. The problem is that this is your homework and what is covered in this class and prerequisites lead up to this assignment. As in that link, it's rare to find folk do your homework.

As it stands maybe a loop and adding up the values is next but there is no clear link to your homework assignment or what we call the requirements. Maybe coding in python wasn't a good start if you were going to try to write in assembler.

Think of the python code as your translation from the requirements. Something possibly lost in translation.

Can you reveal why that's not helpful? You didn't call out this is some homework or such. I deal with embedded computers all the time and we are always cross compiling. While I did write a lot of assembler code, for many reasons we move to cross compilers to make the systems maintainable.

It sounds like you need to get back to Ionic support. Also the install command you shared doesn't match what I read at
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ionic-native/core

@M. It sounds like you are asking "How to design software." There are so many answers to that question that no one can tell you a "best" approach.

But in your case it may better to ask your team for possible solutions.

I'll write that I tend to make data driven apps over hard coded apps for many reasons. This falls neatly into your question about a table (we'll call that data) and if the design is table driven or coded so it does this and picks up values from a table. If you can code so the table drives the app around.

"But why?"
Deploring an app is a big deal. Changing a table that changes how the apps work, saves us a lot of time.

What's interesting to me are the 121 variations of the solution at https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Factors_of_an_integer

@Is, that download.com tends to almost always install toolbars, adverts and more. I no longer go near that site.

Let me share what our tech lead uses. They automate things like that with AutoIT.

Please read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/4 then update your question with your code and where you got stuck.

That's what we use Cross Compilers for. I don't know of many that will hand code from what you supplied but I did see students try that. But in a commercial setting the Cross Compilers are called on.

And yes, there are such for your project. Read from https://www.google.com/search?q=python+compiler+for+mips

I see problems with your post. First you ask for a "Calendar Even" then later it becomes an event. Another typo in "toset." As a programmer typos can really upset your web pages and code. Try to take time to craft your post and be clear about the title and content.

Finally you did well to add the tags, get in the right forum but then didn't share what you have so far and tell where you are stuck.

Read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question now then add what you forgot.

The usual is try another mouse. Those pads do stop working and some call those mouse for some reason. I no longer try to fix touchpads. Lessons learned.

Happy March 1. Oops, now Jan 1!

Put debug lines prior to 38 and 60 to output this.file.documentsDirectory so you can see what's there. Then go back line by line to see what your code did to fill in the variable.

That's a start. As in, you want to write an app that does something. But you omitted your code and where you were stumped.

Also, https://www.google.com/search?q=Python+Login+System+App finds folk that have done this so it's not as if you have to start from scratch.

I have to ask since I just wonder. Did you use google on your question? I ask because our new hires seem to not know to do this. Is research forbidden where you are?

PS. I didn't downvote you. Some do when folk arrive asking for code. Read how the forum works at
https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

It appears to be a common question. Here's the first hit on google.

https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/461143-can-anyone-share-me-some-tips-on-the-comptia-network-exam

My view is your training so far missed how to research today. I can't guess why you'd pass up prior answers.

Did your school forbid using Google or Wikipedia?

Given only the question and little code the PHP unlink documentation writes this is to delete a file.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php

I can't guess the connection of that file to what your site displays. Only you know this.

I think you missed sharing a good portion of what is needed to tackle your want. Read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question and share what you have so far.

Time to put it on Google Docs.

But first you are likely to get replies by SCUM that SPAM document repair tools. Hey, if you fall for that, your wallet.

We don't need to open the doc in OpenNote as noted at http://smallbusiness.chron.com/save-onenote-google-docs-53952.html but the second half is all I ever needed.

Odd, when I removed the EQUAL sign I got 9.

To address concerns about the variable i, I spiffed up the code to look like this.

        public class Chapter4 {
            static int n = 0;
            public static void main(String[] args) {
                for (n = 1; Math.pow(n, 3) <= 1000; n++) {
                }
                System.out.println(n);
            }
        }

I get the expected result of 11 (Spinal Tap reference) and without the EQUAL sign, ten.

Let's number a few problems.

1. I can't find the "error message" you are asking about. So you've left me without that or I've just missed where you shared that.

2. If there is an issue with the inboxrepair tool, you take it back to the author. There are common spams about such things and they are scum. How many times do folk need to find this out is a mystery.

3. There is zero issues with the PST or such being on drive E. Why you get an error message needs to be looked at. But without that error message I'm left with only what's been revealed so far.

4. If you do manage to change the array to C: you would break so many other things that Outlook problems would be the least of your worries. In other words, no seasoned IT person would do this.

PS. This works too.

    public class Chapter4 {
        static int n = 0;
        static int i = 0;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            for (i = 1; Math.pow(i, 3) <= 1000; i++) {
                n = i;
            }
            System.out.println(i);
        }
    }

Why? The loop stops at the value which was equal but due to how for() works, your answer is i.

I got the number 10 at https://www.jdoodle.com/online-java-compiler

As to the next integer that would be 11. Noted at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOO5S4vxi0o

And here is where we disagree. Windows, Outlook can run fine with the main drive on E: now if there is a RAID failure you have to know which RAID they used and use it's recovery systems. A true RAID mirror is simple to correct. Just move the working drive to the other connection and carry on. But Windows Raid mirror is a bast__d job where the boot area is on one drive and the rest is mirrored. NEVER deploy that. NEVER.

There are spammers ready to shovel their repair tools and I think they are scum.

You made no mention of the View in Outlook. That tells me you need to go learn about that.

If you want to use variables defined in function to be available across all functions then use a class.

Sadly you left out what OS is running. Few will guess that detail but my bet this is your homework. Not that you can't ask but you have to give enough detail in order to hope for a good answer.

Please read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

That out of the way, I never bothered with this in assembler. For all the work I've done the assembler is for device drivers, board support packages and for the lists and such, we move on to C for the target system.

Windows can run just fine with the drive being E: I don't want to repeat why this is but I have encountered folk that think this needs fixing (it doesn't.)

As to the no items listed, it's either the VIEW is set to something other than all or the owner is just now learning that backups are not optional. As to the RAID Mirror you'll find that mirrors in real time and is no backup. I find owners of such have false confidence because they have RAID Mirrors and they get to learn the lessons first hand. That's not unusual but hard the first or next time.

I see the container has width and such but no margin? Try margin.

It's unclear what you need here. In psuedo code you would

'psuedo code here
create the dictionary object
loop through the grid and for each item
dictionary.add (item from grid)

There are plenty of example code for getting at the grid data and use of the VB.net Dictionary on the web now.

Be sure to read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question before you reply.

This looks to be similar to the discussion at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6472123/why-session-destroy-not-working
Short version, clear those variables.

I think you are asking how to pass values from page to another without a trip to the server. But I'm guessing.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14693758/passing-form-data-to-another-html-page kicks that around and should work.

I find your post is unclear so I'm probably very wrong.

I'm a Python beginner but line 36 looks to missing it's self. to the the variable.

Line 43 seems to have a similar issue so my view is maxHeight() is one object and self.maxHeight is a value.
So line 43 might be as follows once line 36 is fixed to be:
print("\nMaximun height:" + Projectile() + " meters")

Why?

print will automatically call str() on the object and as such use the type’s str method to convert it to a string.

Sorry if I mislead you but I'm just a Python beginner too.

Let's take a look at how long it takes to learn programming specific to games.
this source pegs the time at 12 quarters or about 3 years.

There are folk that think this can be reduced to an answer in one paragraph which I have done for you here.

Try again. Use a meaningful title and read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

From your last link, a fine example this may not work on all machines.

Some hints if you are using iOS and recording doesn't work: 1.) Try to use a absolute file path but remove beginning "file://".

So it appears that Raymond's article is spot on. The library has potholes and not plug and play. That out of the way, did Raymond's example fail too?

@tinstaafl, this is a really good area where your choice of C or such can matter. That is, picking C for embedded work is one of your best choices since there's a chance others may understand what you did and be able to maintain or fix it later.

We all have stories. One job had a crushing requirement on cost so the cheapest microcontroller was going to be used and it had no RAM. Just registers and a few hundred bytes of flash memory. The task at hand was to add functionality to an existing system that was omitted and the product was already being sold at or below cost. A salvage job. This meant assembler was the choice and it was done but few dared to review that one. Once done the product finally was sold off and the company moved on much the wiser.

I checked out Nine hertz and you might want to come clean so you don't get downvoted into oblivion.

Maybe you were scouting for talent? Hope to hear back from you.

@S, I'm going to write no. Many years ago before we had C almost everywhere I wrote in assembler. That demanded we know the processor and system to the core. When we moved to C we didn't have to know as much since it's there to remove the requirement to be intimate with the host details or even what CPU was being used.

As to the assumptions, a google search could confirm that.

You need to tell more about your SQL server. It should have a management control where you add users, set passwords, etc.

I'm not going to duplicate SQL classes here. All the SQL servers I've used demand accounts to be set up for many reasons.

Read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question now.

OK, you have this app you need to create but your post here can't be a "gimme the code." Instead you share what you have so far and tell us where you are stuck.

@z, either add some ID and password to the SQL or try the blank id and see what happens. I've seen this before and it's always been something the author forgot. That is, they setup the database but forgot they did what they did.

I meant I went looking for examples and found it's not a simple thing to implement and have work on many clients. I get the feeling you are looking for a plugin and not to write your own. If the link supplied and the code there can't be used, keep searching.

You need to tell more about your database. If SQL, just go ahead and use your ID and password you setup the database with.

You said this looked easy? I read https://www.raymondcamden.com/2015/07/27/recording-and-saving-audio-in-cordova-applications/ and came away with "Yeah, right."

There's so much to comment on here that I feel that's the problem. Too many targets. Also I'm thinking

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

So why that quote? Because you can have vision but if it's too broad then someone needs to bring down the law.

OK, time to curb the enthusiasm as well as pull in the reins on a problem I see folk fall into. Ready?

First, when you have problems, don't fall for "best solution." You can needlessly fall into "analysis paralysis" or "Oh look, is this a better solution" when you are 98% complete on any solution.

Next, scale down the project. Forget you have hundreds of sites. Pick one or two to automate what you want and then practice on those. The person that takes on hundreds of sites will get swamped by the sheer magnitude of the work. Scale the job to what your team can handle. Once they do one or two, then you can look at how to scale up.

Finally, there are changes coming in 2018 that is going to put a crimp in companies with some hundred to thousand web sites. Many of those use a redirect system and that ends soon. Just bringing it up so you know to avoid that.

In parting there are plenty of ideas about revenue creating sites so I won't go near that.

To me this is the exercise of resource management. In a stretch, queuing theory where you have resources, consumers and time. How do you write an app to optimize or get the production to work.
