[caption id="attachment_62738" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] what does gtg mean[/caption] Unraveling the Meaning of GTG What is the definition of GTG? The acronym GTG stands for "Got to Go." It is commonly used to indicate that someone needs to leave or end a conversation or activity. Variations of GTG include G2G (Got to Go) and "Gotta Go." These synonyms are often used interchangeably in online communication. Origins and Evolution of GTG The origins of GTG can be traced back to the early days of online communication platforms, such as chat rooms and instant messaging services. As internet slang evolved, GTG became a popular abbreviation due to its brevity and ease of use. Over time, the acronym has adapted and found its way into various online communities and social media platforms. Understanding the Semantic Nuances of GTG While GTG generally indicates the need to leave or end a conversation, its meaning can vary depending on the context. For example, in a casual conversation, GTG may simply imply that the person needs to go attend to something else.

Can the UN's Summit for the Future tackle today’s toughest challenges?

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/915097/open_sms) This month the United Nations (UN) will host the ‘Summit of the Future’ in New York. What's the point of this high-level event? Inside Geneva investigates. “The UN is not an entity that does anything. I mean, we can all blame it, but what is the UN? It’s just the sum of its parts: the governments,” says Christiane Oelrich, journalist for the DPA German Press Agency. Is the UN’s 1945 structure even fit for purpose? “Historically the UN for many people is still associated with the West. And the question of including the global south still haunts the UN,” continues analyst Daniel Warner. Does the UN have an answer to today’s brutal, intractable conflicts? “Since World War Two there have been plenty of conflicts, but what we have seen in the last three or four or five years is the use of aggression and violence as an instrument of foreign policy. Yes, that’s right,” says Nick Cumming-Bruce, contributor for the New York Times. Can more peaceful nations rescue the UN’s purpose? “The fact that some countries follow the path of aggression doesn't mean that all the rest of the world has to talk about failure now,” adds Oelrich. And is the summit a gamble for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres? “We should tip a hat to Antonio Guterres for even trying to do this given all of the stuff that's going on,” says Imogen Foulkes, Inside Geneva presenter. Join us on Inside Geneva to find out more about what we can expect from this summit.  Get in touch! • Email us at insidegeneva@swissinfo.ch (mailto:insidegeneva@swissinfo.ch) • Twitter: @ImogenFoulkes and @swissinfo_en Thank you for listening!

Android StudioとKotlinでボタンを押すとテキストが変わる簡単なアプリをつくってみるよ。

アプリを作ってみたい熱が上がってきているハルです！

自分専用のアプリを作って楽しむことを目標に勉強しています。

こんなものをつくるよ！

Xcodeでボタンを押すとテキストが変わる簡単なアプリをつくってみるよ。

2019.10.11

前回、「Xcodeでボタンを押すとテキストが変わる簡単なアプリをつくってみるよ。」という記事で、ボタンを押すとテキストが変わるというiOS用のアプリをXcodeで作りました。

今回はそれと似たAndroidアプリを、Android Studioで作ってみたいと思います。

プロジェクトの準備

Android Studioを立ち上げます。一番最初の「Start a new Android Studio project」を選択します。

  プロジェクトの種類を選択します。今回は、「Empty Activity」を選択します。

  プロジェクトの設定を行います。

Name：プロジェクト名を設定します。今回は「wan-cat」としました。

Package name：パッケージ名はアプリIDにもなるものなのでXcodeの「Organization Identifier」のように所有するドメインの「.」の区切りを逆さにするのが一般的だそうです。それに、今回のプロジェクト名をくっつけます（たとえば、liginc.co.jp の場合なら jp.co.liginc.wan_cat のようになる感じです）。今回はリリースするものでもないので「com.example.wan_cat」としておきます。

Save location：このプロジェクトを保存する場所を指定してください。

Language：Kotlinを使ってみたいので、「Kotlin」を選択しました。

「Finish」を選択しプロジェクトを作成します。

  しばらく待つとこのようなエディターが開きます。

見た目を用意

Android Studioの詳しいウィンドウの名称は Android Studio の概要 で確認してください。 今回、わかっていればいい範囲は

ナビゲーションバー

ツールウィンドウ

エディターウィンドウ

らへんかと思います。

  エディターウィンドウのタブで①「activity_main.xml」を選択し、下の②「Design」を選択してみると、参考画像のようなプレビュー状態が確認できると思います。

  プレビューのデフォルトで中央にある「Hello World」は使用しないので、クリックで選択してdeleteキーを押し削除しておきます。

TextView を配置

引き続き「activity_main.xml」のデザインプレビューで、テキストを表示するために「TextView」を配置します。

エディターの左あたりに、「Palette」から「Common」の「TextView」を見つけ、ドラッグアンドドロップで適当な位置に配置します。

TextView の設定

先ほど配置したTextViewを選択すると、エディターウィンドウの右側に細かい設定項目が出てきます。

Attributes の id に「text_message」と指定し、idを指定しておきます。また、「Layout」の「Constraint Widget」の上を「64」、左右を「32」と指定し位置の指定をします。

Button の配置

次はボタンを2つ配置します。

エディターの左あたりに、「Palette」から「Common」の「Button」を見つけ、画像のようにドラッグアンドドロップで適当な位置に2つ配置します。

Button の設定

まず、左下あたりにおいたものから指定します。「Attributes」の「id」は「button_cat」を指定します。

「Layout」の「Constraint Widget」は左下に配置したいので、左を「32」、下を「64」と指���します。

  右下あたりにおいたボタンは、「Attributes」の「id」は「button_dog」を指定します。

「Layout」の「Constraint Widget」は左下に配置したいので、右を「32」、下を「64」と指定します。

テキストの変更

TextView と Button を配置しましたが、今デフォルトの「TextView」と「BUTTON」になっているかと思います。それぞれ変更します。

Android Studioでのアプリ開発では、そういったテキストをidと紐付けリストで管理しテキストを指定する方法があります。その方法で指定してみたいと思います。

  ツールウィンドウから、「app / res / values / strings.xml」ファイルを選択し開きます。このファイルにテキストを登録していきます。

  登録方法はソースコードから編集してもいいのですが、登録しやすい専用エディターで登録してみたいと思います。

エディターウィンドウで「strings.xml」を開いたら、上部に「Edit translations for all locales in the translations editor」と出ているので、その「Open editor」を選択します。

  専用エディタが開いたかと思います。「+」ボタンを押して追加していきます。

  「Add Key」というウィンドウが開いたら、まずTextViewの最初に表示される用のテキストを登録してみたいと思います。

Key text_message Default どっち?

と設定して、「OK」ボタンを押します。

これで登録されるかと思います。

  そのほかにも必要なものを登録します。

猫のボタンを押されたときのテキスト

Key text_message_cat Default にゃーにゃー!

犬のボタンを押されたときのテキスト

Key text_message_dog Default わんわん!

猫のボタンのテキスト

Key button_text_cat Default 🐱

犬のボタンのテキスト

Key button_text_dog Default 🐶

これらを登録します。

  再度、「strings.xml」を開くと、xmlの記述で追加されているのが確認できるかと思います。専用のエディターからではなくここに記述してでも登録はできます。

TextView と Button に strings.xml で登録したものを指定する

先ほど「strings.xml」に追加したテキストを「TextView」と「Button」に指定してみたいと思います。

TextViewにデフォルトのテキストを設定

「activity_main.xml」ファイルを「Design」で開き、idが「text_message」のTextViewを選択します。エディターウィンドウの右側「Attributes」の「Declared Attributes」の「text」の右側にあるボタンのような部分をクリックします（画像参照）。

  画像のようなウィンドウが開くので、先ほど strings.xmlで登録した、「text_message」を探しクリックをし選択し「OK」ボタンを押します。

これでテキストが変更されたかと思います。

2つのButtonのテキストを設定

TextViewのように、左右配置したボタンを選択し、エディターウィンドウの右側「Attributes」の「Declared Attributes」の「text」から、それぞれ、strings.xml で設定したものを指定します。

左のボタンを「button_text_cat」 右のボタンを「button_text_dog」

にします。

ボタンを押したらラベルのテキストを変更する

処理を書くのには、エディターウィンドウにあらかじめタブで開かれている「MainActivity.kt」ファイルを編集していきます。

今回は、MainActivity.ktで、すでに記述されているoverride fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {の中に追記していきます。

変数 「textMessage」「buttonCat」「buttonDog」を下記のように記述します。

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) var textMessage = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text_message) var buttonCat = findViewById<Button>(R.id.button_cat) var buttonDog = findViewById<Button>(R.id.button_dog) }

それぞれ、

TextViewは、findViewById<TextView>(R.id.id名)

Buttonは、findViewById<Button>(R.id.id名)

のように記述しています。

これはjavascriptでいう、document.getElementById("id名")のように、activity_main.xmlで設定したid名を指定して扱いやすいように変数に代入しています。

続いて、ボタンを押したら何かをするという処理を追記します。

// ... 省略 var buttonDog = findViewById<Button>(R.id.button_dog) // 下記を追記 buttonCat.setOnClickListener{ textMessage.setText(R.string.text_message_cat) } buttonDog.setOnClickListener { textMessage.setText(R.string.text_message_dog) }

javascriptのように、各id名を指定し取得した変数のあとに.setOnClickListener{}を使うことで、その対象idのものがクリックされたときにする処理をカッコの中に記述できます。

.setText()で、TextViewのテキストを変更しています。R.string.key名の形で先ほど「strings.xml」で追加したkey名を指定することで、そのkeyに対応したvalueを取得できます。

よって、

buttonCat.setOnClickListener{ textMessage.setText(R.string.text_message_cat) }

buttonCat変数で指定されているButtonをクリックすると、textMessage変数で指定されているTextViewを書き換える処理をしています。

確認してみます！

上部のナビゲーションツール内の再生マークの「Run ‘app’」ボタンを押します。

エミュレーターが起動し、今作成したアプリが立ち上がると思います！

  Xcodeのときのように、使い道のわからないアプリができたところで完成です！

まとめ

前回、XcodeでiOSアプリを作りましたが、今回はAndroid Studioでアンドロイドのアプリを作ってみました。この程度のアプリであれば、思っていたよりも簡単に作れることがわかりました！

これからアプリ開発やってみようかなという人の、やる気スイッチ記事になれば嬉しいです。本業はWebサイトなのですが、僕もこれからどんどん作っていきたいな思います！

Secret code is a unique password The team of the popular WhatsApp messenger announced the launch of a useful addition to the private chats function. Closed chats have been available since 2023, and now secret codes have been added to them. [caption id="attachment_85115" align="aligncenter" width="780"] WhatsApp[/caption] As the developers note, thanks to secret codes, private chats have received another level of protection in case someone gains access to your phone or you use the device with someone else. WhatsApp now has private chats with a secret access code The secret code is a unique password. It's different from the one you use to unlock your phone and gives private chats extra security. Users can also hide the "Private Chats" folder from the general list: it will only be visible after entering the secret code in the search bar. If you do not want to hide conversations, you can leave them in the general chat list. To move a new chat to the closed category, simply press and hold on it. You no longer need to open chat settings. The distribution of the innovation has already begun and will gradually become available to WhatsApp users around the world.

Special episode: Can the WTO shape a fairer world economy?

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/915097/open_sms) The World Trade Organisation (WTO) Public Forum is underway in Geneva and its key theme is ‘re-globalisation’. Are we nervous of that word? Inside Geneva sat down with WTO officials to find out what it means. “Trade has been a very powerful force for reducing between-country inequality. Since 1995, for example, since the foundation of the WTO, extreme poverty in the world has been reduced from 40% to 10%, because of growth in many countries that was also export-led,” says Ralph Ossa, WTO chief economist. Many ordinary people think global trade makes them poorer. How can it benefit them? “At the WTO, our members have gotten together and many of them have formed a working group on trade and gender to especially put the lens of women to trade policy and to see what more can be done so that they can take advantage of opportunities,” says Johanna Hill, WTO Deputy Director. The WTO doesn’t tell countries how to run their industries, but it does hope they can learn from one another. “Perhaps one member might say, ‘Well, you know, supporting women in my country has really been a tremendous success. Because now we see higher growth rates, lower poverty rates and so on. Why don't you give it a try yourself?’” says Ossa. Can global trade help us face global challenges? “Nobody questions the importance of regulating to protect the environment or to protect health - everybody agrees on that. It’s the how that might be the question,” says Hill. Join host Imogen Foulkes for a trade special on Inside Geneva.

Text Message Translation

Some people might think that we are going back in time. The more we are progressing, the more we are resorting to old methods. In fact, some might even say that we are going back to the behavior of our earliest ancestors. Since there was no means of transportation and communication, all of them lived in their separate communities and never interacted with others. People see kids spending their whole day in their room and not enjoying social activities as a sign of our regression. But in truth, it is in no way similar to the lives of our ancestors. The kids of today have a lot of opportunities to connect with others. They spend most of their time on the internet, expressing their opinions and sharing their views with countless others. The fact that they stay in their room does not mean that they do so to avoid human contact. In fact, they probably have more of a social life than most of their elders. It is just that the methods of interactions have changed. The internet helps the kids stay up to date about what’s happening in the world. They are the ones who arrange movements and raise their voices for the just causes. It is okay if their methods are a bit different from their parents, it is bound to happen with every new generation. People in the early 20th century didn’t have computers and smartphones. They didn’t even have telephones so it is understandable that their method of communication was different. They had to rely on letters that were still relatively faster than the message system the people of the previous centuries used. The generations of today don’t have to wait for weeks or months to get a response. But that doesn’t mean everything is easy for them. They have their own challenges to deal with. So, if they use their phones for communication, we can give them a break and let them enjoy this luxury in peace.

Text Messages:

Before smartphones became common, text messages were everything. That was the best way of communicating with friends. There was no fear of anyone overhearing you like they could if you were talking on the phone. It was also more fun and had the option of adding smileys. There were no touchscreen phones and people would get addicted of pressing the keys to create a message. But eventually, smartphones came around and offered plenty of options for communication. There are apps today that allow users to send written messages, voice messages, images, videos, and documents. These apps also let people call each other free of cost as long as they have an internet connection. All of it reduced the need of text messages. People began to rely more on apps that had multiple methods of interaction. These apps offer users the opportunity to reply to a message with a reaction gif or to use a sticker to express your emotion. However, despite how cool all the latest apps are, the charm of text messages has not died. Even today, people text each other all the time. Whenever they have something urgent to share and they are not sure if the other person is connected to the internet, they will send an SMS. Such messages are also very important in the corporate world. Employers send urgent messages to their employees all the time. It is definitely more professional than an app. Whenever someone sends an SMS for work related questions, it conveys the right idea. This is why plenty of people still text regularly.

Text Message Translation:

There is no field in the world where translation isn’t needed. It helps us in various ways and brings us together by ending the language barrier. It has helped humans in various difficult situations. Since text messages are the favorite means of communication of company heads, they might also end up talking to potential business partners via SMS too. However, the world’s successful people are divided all over the globe, so, it is no wonder if two people discussing a business venture speak different languages. In the 21st century, we not only have fast methods of communication but also reliable ways of getting translation. Some people might go for an app to get the translation of text messages. Although the apps are accurate when sentences are simple, they may not stand a chance when a complicated issue is being discussed. No one would want to misunderstand the other person and reply with the incorrect answer.
