How to change the icon for your application in Eclipse

I created a new android project in eclipse, but didn't change the default icon at the time. Later on I realized I wanted to use Eejot's icon instead of the default. This is how you can do it in eclipse:

1) Open the AndroidManifest.xml file. 
2) Click on the "Application" tab at the bottom of the editor. 
3) In the text box labeled "Icon" click the "Browse" button at the end.
4) This will bring up a "Resource Chooser" window. Click on "Create New Icon" button.
5) This opens a "Create Asset Set" window.  Enter a new icon name. Hit Next.
6) Click the "image" tab. Hit "browse" and navigate to the image you want to use.
7) If you would like to choose a background color, do so at this time.
8) Hit "Finish" once done.

Geospatial queries in MongoDB - Part 2 : {"err": "location object expected, location array not in correct format" "code": 16804}

In my last post we saw we had to create a geospatial index on the " pos " field as follows: > db.foodtrucks.ensureIndex({pos:"2d"}) However, when executing the command above we get the following error:   > db.foodtrucks.ensureIndex({pos:"2d"}) {     "createdCollectionAutomatically" : false,     "numIndexesBefore" : 3,     "ok" : 0,     "errmsg" : "location object expected, location array not in correct format",     "code" : 16804 } After some further investigation I realized that we had some documents which didn't had any latitude/longitude information. Due to this some of the documents looked like this: {     "_id" : ObjectId("53d07bf1e3e11dacc21056a8") ,     "locationid" : 437222 ,     "Applicant" : "Natan's Catering" ,     "FacilityType" : "Truck" ,     "cnn" : 188101 ,     "Locatio...

Commits not showing up on the contribution page in Github

I recently ran into an issue where my commits were not showing up on my github account. Initially I thought it had something to do with settings on my new machine as I started having this issue after I switched machines. However, the public activity page was listing all my contributions just fine which led me believe something else was wrong. After spending some time trying to debug this, I contacted github. They told me I was using an email address 'robin@Robins-MacBook-Air.local' in my .gitconfig which was the system login. Due to this, changes were not being attributed to my account. To change this I ran the following command: git config --global user.email <my_email_on_github_account> The email needs to match an email address in your GitHub account in order for the commits to be properly attributed to you. However, I also wanted my previous commits to be attributed to me. For that I had to add 'robin@Robins-MacBook-Air. local' to my GitHub account here...
