Eclipse + EGit - "The authenticity of host ... can't be established" challenge

Recently while writing new Android code I decided that it's the highest time to have a Git repository not only on my hard drive, but also safe in the Internet. After quick search and finding out that I have accounts at almost every popular service that provides Git hosting, I figured out that one that covers everything I need (wiki, bug tracking, code hosting, forums) is the good old sourceforge. I used it also with no problems few months ago on another mobile project, so I was hoping that pushing code there will be a piece of cake. But then when I tried to do it (after configuring the project on the sourceforge site), I got very interesting error: ssh://USER@git.code.sf.net:22: org.eclipse.jgit.transport.CredentialItem$YesNoType:The authenticity of host 'git.code.sf.net' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 86:7b:1b:12:85:35:8a:b7:98:b6:d2:97:5e:96:58:1d. Are you sure you want to continue connecting? In theory it's nothing bad, you press the "Y...

HTTPS for dummies - so how HTTPS really works in 5 mins

What is HTTPS? HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is a way of transferring data over internet in a secure manner. It's achieved through adding SSL (Secure Socket Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer Security) on top of standards HTTP. What HTTPS gives us? End-2-end encryption of data - from the browser to the server and back = even if someone reads the data you are sending, they will not be able to understand anything out of it Confirmation of the identity of the website we are accessing = you are sure that the website that looks like your bank is actually your bank (and not a phishing website) How does it work? First you need a pair of SSL certificates: One installed in your web browser (in most cases shipped together with your browser, provided by one of so-called trusted Certificate Authorities) One installed on the website (which is acquired by the website owner) Each of those SSL certificates includes the following information:  Public information: name of...

Rendering AdMob view on Canvas (SurfaceView) in android

If you're wondering how put a working AdMob view into your SurfaceView and are tired of looking in the Internet for solution (somehow most suggestions that I found on forums didnt work), here it is... Assumptions: A. We request the ad on creation (you may want to refresh it later though...) B. The AdView is put on the bottom of the screen C. It's a production ready code, but if you want to test it - add testDevices to the adRequest D. You've already set AndroidManifest properly as described in the Getting Started tutorial 1. In the activity that initializes your SurfaceView add a field representing your adView, for example: private AdView adView; 2. In the onCreate method of the same activity put the following code: // window manager preparation WindowManager.LayoutParams windowParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(); windowParams.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM; windowParams.x = 0; windowParams.y = 0; windowParams.height = WindowManager.Lay...
