zipalign tool not found in SDK - Eclipse

While exporting Android signed application package through Eclipse you get this warning
The zipalign tool was not found in the SDK.Please update to the latest SDK and re-export your application or run zipalign manually
After getting this warning I started looking for zipalign tool. After searching in SDK folder I found zipalign.exe under copy_tools folder. This folder is used by Android SDK update to keep copy of old tools.


What is zipalign tool ?


From Android documentation
zipalign is an archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file.

How to make Eclipse find this zipalign tool

To make eclipse use this zipalign.exe you have to copy it in a proper SDK folder. You can find SDK folder in
%android-sdk-path% / build_tools / {sdkfolder}
After copying zipalign.exe to this folder when you run Eclipse to sign your apk it will automatically run zipalign on apk.

Decoding JPEG image file using libavcodec

I got a chance to work on a video encoding application that decodes series of jpeg files and convert them into ogg theora video file. I used the infamous libavcodec library that is used in FFMPEG . I decided to write blog posts explaining how I decode jpeg images and convert them into ogg video file. This is the first part and in this I will explain how to decode jpeg images using libavcodec.

Multithreaded C# TCP server to handle multiple clients

I decided to write a minimal multithreaded TCP based server as a blog post. Following class can serve as a skeleton for any small or large scale multithreaded TCP socket server. It do not contain much error handling , it is only to give an idea that how multithreaded server works and how it can process multiple clients using threading. using System; using System.Text; using System.Net; using System.Net.Sockets; using System.Threading; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace RandomStuffMine { public class MTServer {     public int Port{get;set;}     public Socket ServerSocket{get;set;}     private List<Client> Clients=new List<Client>();     private bool runServer=true;     public MTServer(int port)     {         Port=port;         ServerSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);     }   ...

CryptographicException: An error occurred while trying to encrypt the provided data. Refer to the inner exception for more information

I created a new Blazor Server app in Visual Studio 2019 and tried to run it. But I was getting this error CryptographicException: An error occurred while trying to encrypt the provided data. Refer to the inner exception for more information. I couldn't find any reason or solution to this problem. I tried creating the project multiple times but same error. I created a new .Net Core Web App and added a new razor component and included that component in a razor page (cshtml file) like this @(await Html.RenderComponentAsync<GeofenceWork>(RenderMode.ServerPrerendered)) and <component type="typeof(GeofenceWork)" render-mode="serverprerendered" /> As soon as I navigate to this page that has component added I got the same error: CryptographicException: An error occurred while trying to encrypt the provided data. Refer to the inner exception for more information. This was very frustrating. After hours of trying and searching I figured out the solution.  ...
