How to change language in xamarin’s Android emulator?

How to change language on android (xamarin emulator) ?

If you are having some difficulty on using the Japanese language keypad, you can click and hold on mouse click for some times, until a small pop-up appear(just like what we did on holding text box on smart phone for few seconds), and you can change the keyboard language.

Select input method in the pop-up screen.

Select the input method that you like, for example, I choose “Android keyboard”.

 This is how my screen became after selecting Android keyboard.

Note: PhoneWord??? I was following a tutorial from xamarin named “ phoneword” at that particular moment. :D

SVN vs TFS vs SharePoint

hmmm.....
to synchronise the source code and some documentation...we need some helper...
when i use eclipse i use svn..tortiseSVN...
then, when i use .Net...i use tfs...
i start thinking are they the same with sharepoint?

hmm..think and google deeper..
i got myself this conclusion~

svn is from apache...
sharepoint and tfs is from microsoft...
svn, sharepoint and also tfs are all a kind of  'revision control software'

hope that i dnt get it wrong ..correct me if i am wrong~

^^

CRITERION

Explanation of the various criteria by which the source control solution should be judged.

1. Visual Studio Integration
   Most back-end development at [XXX] is done within Microsoft Visual Studio (VS), hence tight integration with VS is very important.
2. Other Integration
   For any development or files stored / edited outside of Visual Studio, integration is important so that these other files can be managed by source control. Examples include, web designers using Dreamweaver and PhotoShop.
3. Features
   Of 10 major features studied, TFS met all 10 and SVN 8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software#Features). This decision matrix’s purpose if purely to compare source control features, so no other features are to be taken into account.
