I’ve was analysing blog access chart and, curiously, I see how are the most usable browsers.

The fight between Firefox and Internet Explorer is old and, little time ago, Microsoft’s browser lost first position to Firefox. Now, with Google Chrome more stable and accessible, the three firsts position may be changed again.

In one year of interval, this blog had 35,738 visits, where the Firefox was most usable browser, responsible for 14,705 (41.75%) of access, distantly followed by Internet Explorer (10,542 access, or 29.5%) and Google Chrome (8,679 access, or 24.29%). Opera came in 4th and Safari came in 5th.

Below the chart generated by Google Analytics with complete list of browsers and amount of access:

Will be a matter of time to Internet Explorer to leave second position to Google Chrome

Sometimes our applications depends of third-part applications for tests or to access resources of emulator that aren’t available by default.

In directories of SDK, commonly in platform-tools, there is an executable called adb, with it we’ll to install third-part applications.

You will need an application (.apk). Browse internet or copy from your Android smartphone using applications like AppSaver.

- Run the emulator, you can use SDK Manager or Eclipse plugins.

- Using DOS Command (Windows) or terminal (Linux), open directory platform-tools and run commando line below:

Now, the third-part application is available at emulator menu, like have installed in your smartphone.

Agora o aplicativo estará disponível no menu do emulador.

Google always look for inovate your services. With image search system wasn’t different.
