Java : Get the Values In An Annotation Using Reflection

Recently I was researching on implementing lucene search (using
Hibernate Search). Although I found success with it, I wanted to
automate the process of passing the fields that are indexed and their
respective index names. Hibernate Search uses a bunch of annotations
in the getter to specify their index name and filters used.

My Requirement
I want to go through all the 'Field' annotation present in every
method defined inside my class and get the value of the 'name' field
from it. Sometimes 'Field' is present inside as a nested annotation
inside 'Fields'.
Here the tricky part is where you've to set

YourAnnotation ann = method.getAnnotation(YourAnnotation.class)

and get an the annotation object from it.

Here is an example problem:

Here is the solution:

And here is my output...

Building Autonomous Drone with Raspberry Pi and APM 2.8

I am a total newbie to hardware and was pushing my limits to see how far I can reach on with hardware projects (which sparked my interest lately). I have set out on a very ambitions mission to control a drone from raspberry pi .I began the research for this around 2 months ago and had brought a raspberry pi, drone body kit and apm flight controller. The key difference of this project from common drone projects is that I'm trying to avoid the use of and RC and instead use the raspberry pi to control it. Hardware Ins tallation Setup: I am using APM 2.8 and Mission Planner. I am using RPi 3 to control the APM 2.8 via Telem port of APM I am planning to power the apm via the battery to ESC (Electronic Speed Controllers) Now, documenting my steps below: Day 1 Watch Tutorial To get started with APM flight controller, I watched this video tutorial [1] which gives a gentle introduction about APM board. Setup APM board and Calibrate Sensors I downloade...

Adafruit GFX - How to change line spacing in text?

You may want to update the line spacing to be a little lower than default due to small screen size on IoT devices. I faced this challenge while working on a Watchy hobby project. You may have used a font generator or just using the default fonts and got a *.h file that has the details of the font. In that case just change the last integer value in the PROGMEM variable.

ICFAI Sikkim Distance MBA Review From My Experience

After a long research I joined for the ICFAI distance MBA program in 2012. Now I've completed 2 semesters ( as of 2013 ). I wanted to write this review so that people who are looking for a good MBA program can get a hand-on review about the distance MBA offered by the ICFAI Sikkim. I've been through all the cycles of this program and this review might help you make the right choice about the program. This article presents my own ( and unbiased ) view of the program and is in no way associated with the course provider. Is the MBA ICFAI Sikkim Approved By UGC? As per the latest AICTE regulations, a distance education program must have the approval of a joint commission of UGC- University Grant Commission AICTE- All Indian Council for Technical Education DEC- Distance Education Council ICFAI Sikkim doesn't have this approval (don't get disappointed, it's not over yet). Only institutes and colleges affiliated to a University are required to take AICTE...
