Many a times we try to find reasons behind things ignoring the obvious. And more often the problem would some kind of miscommunication or misunderstanding.
I was not able to use share dialog in my android app. This dialog must let the user send text or image using gmail, bluetooth and in some cases facebook, twitter etc. I searched for many code pieces , most of them were similar, and put them in my program. But my program would say, no program suitable. I tried to hunt for similar problems and their solutions in google, but to no avail. I started thinking that I should re install my IDE, my android sdk etc, etc.
Then I installed the same program in the phone. I was testing all this while on the emulator. And lo, my share dialog appeared with gmail and bluetooth option. So the only problem was the emulator.
Leave alone this coding. Let us look at some real life situation. A week back, I got a phone call. A man started shouting that he is calling from such a long time and why am i not picking up the phone. I was surprised, but politely asked his name. He told some Seshadri. Then he asked "tamma namadheya heli" in a sarcastic tone. I was angrier "You have called this number. You must be knowing whom you have called". He again asked "Tell me your name". I shouted back " nan hesar katgondu nimagenri agbeku" and finally he said "I am calling Rashmi Gas agencies".
He thought he was calling the Gas agency. He was angry because he had not got the cylinder and thinking that he was speaking to someone working there. I was thinking he is someone calling our home.
