Android Development

HTC today announced its upgrade to the original Butterfly smartphone in the form of Butterfly S. The phone is also a decent improvement over the company’s current flagship HTC One.  So, beginning next month, consumers in select Asia-Pacific countries will have two options from HTC while going for a high-end device. In a way, HTC Butterfly S seems to be a perfect competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy S4 smartphone. HTC One is great but Butterfly S improves on few of the features that some consumers might have found lacking in the One.  Even on a design front, Butterfly S isn’t bad and I personally liked the original Butterfly design quite a bit and Butterfly S looks similar apart from the inclusion of front Boomsound speakers. So, in this report, we will take a look at how Butterfly S compares to Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S4 on the specs front. HTC Butterfly specs also included for perspective.

IDC recently published research showing that more than 50% of the 418.6 million mobile phones shipped during the first quarter of the 2013 were smartphones. Back in December 2012, Forrester reported that 19% of adults in the U.S. (34 million people) have a tablet and that by 2016 there will be 113 million tablet owners in USA.read more

Ah, sure, sure, that's true. I guess the broader point is that there's no reason to artificially impose the constraint that numbers can't be repeated: in fact it hurts you in terms of security.. Kris

My point was simply that if you want me to select a random number, but hands me of list of numbers I'm not allowed to pick, it can't really be random. If you limit the length of the number (this is programming - there is always a limit) there is a maximum of how many "random" numbers I can give you ;-)

That's not true, it can still be random: just over a different state space. (In particular [0-9]^n \ {alpha^n | any character is repeated in alpha}) OP: you could pull out a statistics book and read about random events, how to generate them using coins, etc... But the easiest way is to generate a random number, add it to the list if it's not already in

First: This isn't really a question related to Android development. Second: Random unique numbers between 1 and 9 (including both extremes) is a set of 9 numbers (I really hope that we are talking about integers and not real/floating point numbers). Third: If you request a unique sequence of numbers 1 to 9 it can't be
