Echo The Complete Edition review

Today I would like to write about the book that I was very impressed of, which was a real surprise for me, the great comic that I would recommend to read it to anyone who likes comics. To begin the review i’d like to tell that I learned about this book quite by accident (Amazon tossed in as recommended reading for me). I thought, “Mmm, comics on 600 pages, with good reviews, and for...

Captain America Omnibus vol.1 review

This is a great thick and heavy book (maybe for someone it is a disadvantage, but for me – it is definitely a big plus:)). The feelings when holding this hardcover book in hands, are worth it! Glossy good paper and very good print! In short, book quality is superb. The only drawback –...

The Road To Civil War review

Today I would like to share impressions after reading the book The Road To Civil War. Actually in this blog I decided to write only about the big fat books (200+ pages, and ideally all the 500:)) but because I really wanted to read a mega-crossover Civil War, I decided to get acquainted with the events that preceded it (about the big Civil War book I will write later). Judging from the title this...

Android Application doesn’t start due to ClassNotFoundException. And there’s no reason for that exception

If you’re using Eclipse you have a situation when your application suddenly stopped launching (Exception is thrown at startup). And when you look at LogCat you find ClassNotFoundException (e.g. it can’t find your custom Application class). The solution may be simple: check whether you have Auto-build enabled. If it is off please turn it on, at least let it make 1 full build. It should...
