how to get rid of notification circle in right side of the screen? - amazon-fire-tv

I've looked online but wasn't able to find anything:
how do I get rid of this notification circle that is being displayed over the movie I'm watching?

This stuff comes from ES file explorer
Just go into this app > settings
Then there is an option that says logging floating window, you just need to disable that and you will get rid of this infernal bubble for good

xamarin cross platform map with turn by turn

We have a need in our app where the user will get turn by turn navigation to a location then need the ability to tell the app, "hey I'm here, don't need the turn by turn anymore."
Obviously I'm trying to stay cross platform. I tried this control which extends on Forms.Maps:
https://github.com/TorbenK/TK.CustomMap
It's closer, but it doesn't do actual turn by turn, it draws a path between 2 pins then exposes a list of instructions with no location tracking, so it won't fit the requirement.
Then I found the openuri method here:
https://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/cross-platform/xamarin-forms/maps/map-navigation/
That works GREAT. The only issue is the application completely disappears. I get this is expected behavior from openuri, but I can't find any other way to get the full on turn by turn guided navigation. Is anyone aware of any way I could use guided navigation and expose a button, or anything really, like a button that says "Dismiss Map" and returns to the application? I'm open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks.

Not Displaying Normal Xcode View

First, the links are to screen shots of my "problem". Stackoverflow would not let me post images b/c I don't have at least a 10 reputation.
I am not sure what I did.
Shut down my computer, I think there was an OS X update pending that installed. When I went back to my Xcode project it presented the normal screen
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzpqJUv4HwzCbldESkRnZHR0Tk0/edit
But then when I went to open it up the following screen w/o the editor or any of the normal layout opened up.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzpqJUv4HwzCZ2ZJOF9fSzAybUk/edit
I tried tinkering with the layout and view screens, but no real help. Not sure what happened. Any help would be most appreciated. Basically, it seems like I am missing the editor and utilities panes.
Thanks,
You see that little button with the left arrow and two vertical lines at the right upper end of the "Groups and files" view? Click and drag it left, see it this can help.

WP7: Is it possible to intercept the backstack before the journal thumbnail is created/stored

You all know the Windows Phone backstack right. If you go through some apps, tap the Home key after starting each app. Now tap and hold the Backkey to see the Backstack. You can now see some small images of your apps, and can pick which one to go to right.
Question:
Is it possible to intercept before the backstack image is created? I have tried to blur my page in various events (include OnNavigatingFrom) to no avail.
My guess is some other event (probably something we don't have access to) is triggered and a bitmap is created, because when you use the Backstack to navigate you can just see a slight transition from the saved image to a real page IMO.
Does anyone know if its possible to intercept or manipulate these images on the backstack?
Example screenshot from WP emulator of the Backstack thumbnails
Following my comment, I've just tried this:
Set a breakpoint anywhere in the code
Start the app with the debugger attached, then let it reach the breakpoint
While the execution is stopped by the debugger, long press on the back button
The task switching UI is displayed even though the managed code execution is stopped
From there, I think we can safely conclude that the task switching and the thumbnail are handled entirely by native code. Therefore, there's nothing you can do.
I recently wrote a blogpost in which I discuss the ways I tried to hide data from the application snapshot. (You can read it here: http://corstianboerman.com/trying-to-hide-crucial-data-from-an-application-snapshot/)
The outcome: You just can't hide it.

Is there a way to change the windows phone 7 emulator orientation in runtime

Is there way to change the orientation of the emulator in runtime.
I have some tests for a component which include different layouts based on orientation. It would be great if this is possible.
I'm not sure what you are asking for?
If you just want to change the orientation yourself, then use the mouse - there's some buttons top right on the emulator to change orientation - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402568(v=VS.92).aspx
If you want to automate this, then since I'm not sure there's a keyboard shortcut or command line for this, then you could just about do it by modifying the code inside https://github.com/Expensify/WindowsPhoneTestFramework/
Alternatively... it might be quicker/easier to just hack your own code to set the supportedorientation of each page just for one-off testing.
Late response (translated by google), but can be useful for others.
Management guidance on this in the options bar to the right of the emulator:
Detail to know, so that the orientation is done properly and is taken into account, we must re-press the "pause" button if you did previously to use your keyboard. Otherwise, you will feel duty systematic tilt your head to the left or right. :)

How do I see my hyper link preview at the bottom of firefox?

I used to be able to see where a hyperlink was pointing to at the bottom of firefox. Ive got firefox 4 and there is no bar now annoyingly.
This is related to programming because I need to see wher hyperlinks go.
The status bar has been removed. You can get it back via an add-on.
Strange with me it shows the links when I hover over the links with the mouse. It just shows up at the bottom-left and just takes the size of the links, not the entire width of the screen like the status-bar used to do.
If you only need to see the hyperlinks then this should be enough if not install the extension mentioned in the other answer.
,
to get the bar back at the bottom you can do view > toolbars > add-on bar, but that doesn't give you a link preview and it seems not to be the same as the status bar anymore. So statusbar and add-on bar are two different things now.
To recover the old used and very useful status bar, first, install the Status4evar (S4E) add-on.
Next step you have to open the personalize window to be sure that at the bottom will be a "variable space" line ,
at its left side you drop/draw the "status text" and close that personalization.
now you can see the complete link by mouseover as known in old days .
good luck
