BHIM app launched

By
Gearing up the move towards Digital India , Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently launched e-wallet app  BHIM(Bharat Interface for Money) ,  which is named after Dr B.R. Ambedkar according to the sources.
PM Narendra Modi mentioned that BHIM app is launched for making transactions more easy and reliable.
BHIM is Aadhaar  based mobile payment service through which various transactions can be done.
The app BHIM was launched at Digi Dhan Mela which was held in Delhi.
It is basically refurbished version of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) and USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data)

This service can be used on a smartphone or a regular basic feature phone . At present it is available on Play Store for Android Devices , later it will be available on App Store also for iOS devices ( Can't say anything about Windows Phone 😋).

To use BHIM one needs to register their respective account with the app and generate UPI code for further transactions .

Through BHIM anyone can send money to anyone's mobile number which is linked their bank account . Payments can also be done through mobile number or QR code. For non-UPI bank IFSC code can be used for money transactions through UPI.

PM Narendra Modi further added that they are working over the BHIM app and in future transactions will be made using thumbprint only.

He also added in his addressing that there was a time when an illiterate was called "angootha chaap" , and now all transactions can be done only through your angootha (thumb) 👍.


In the end I would like to tell you something about the BHIM app interface . When you will be loading the app for the first time , a welcome screen will appear . Thereafter you need to to enter your mobile number registered with bank account and have to select the bank from the mentioned list. After that a screen will appear requesting to generate UPI code , which you can generate later also. Now you are ready for transactions.

Splash Screens : Doing It The Right Way !

By
An Android application takes a little amount of time to start up , especially during the cold start i.e. the first time it runs on the device. The very idea of splash screen irritates me. I mean they just waste your time and show you a highly crafted logo. As an Android Developer, just kidding I am just a beginner, when I see splash screen I just imagine that some poor developer had to add a three second delay to the code, just under the society's pressure. Every time I open an application I have to just stare to a random picture for 3 seconds without any reason. I mean I just know which application I have opened and what it does, just let me use the app. According to the Google Recommendation : Google advocates that one should use a Splash Screen according to the Material Design Specs. It’s still not a good idea to use a splash screen that wastes a user’s time. Please don’t do that. Doing It The Right Way! : However Android app do take some time to start up , espe...
