How to access Wamp (Apache) server from mobile?

WAMP is by default configured to permit access to only the machine on which it is running. So if you try to access it from your mobile or any other device on the network it will give you the following error :

“Forbidden You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.”

To solve this you need to grant permission. For that follow the following steps:
1. Click on the WAMP icon.
2. Click on Apache.
3. Open httpd-vhosts.conf
4. Change 'Require local' to 'Require all granted'.
5. Restart your server.

Remember, when the server and the client are not the same device, you cannot access via localhost. You need the IP address of the device. For that follow the following steps:
1. Open Command Prompt.
2. Type ipconfig.
3. Read the IPv4 address under the Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi.
4. Use this address to access the files from the mobile browser. (Make sure you are connected to the same wireless network.)
Example: 192.168.1.5/temp/index.html

Open the last opened activity in Android and save values. (Android Studio)

Hello devs! This post is going to tell you a way to open the last opened activity in Android. There are cases where we keep a login for the app and we need to use that login every time we open the app. However, you see in good apps, you don't need to login each time unless you logout. Following are the ways to achieve this: 1. Firebase Auth - this is the simplest way. However, if you don't want to use Firebase or have your own API, check out the next method. 2. SharedPreferences - Following is the way to make use of that: 1. In every activity you wish to open, add the following code. @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("X", MODE_PRIVATE ); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit(); editor.putString( "lastActivity" , getClass().getName()); editor.commit(); } This could be your MainActivity and your LoginActivity. 2.
