I can't find firefox to enable Java on my Mac

Question:     I just got a new Macbook Pro and have noticed that I cannot access any sites that use java in Firefox.
I have verified that I do have the latest Java installed and it works fine in safari, and when I do a software update there is nothing to update.
I tried to go into the preferences to see if there is a checkbox to enable it, but there is nothing there, just for javascript - but I need Java.
How can I get firefox to recgonize that I have Java and work?
I do also have the java plugins installed and both are enabled.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
== Since I've downloaded firefox last week

I have found a solution.
I re-downloaded firefox and installed it.
Repoened firefox, tried again and now all works.

Java is enabled by default. There is no longer a checkbox for it in Options, since it can be disabled through Add-Ons->Plugins
To see if Java works at all, let me know if you get animation at this NWS animated radar site. Also look at the Java verification page to see if it detects Java.

I went to the first link and nothing displayed in the content area.
When I went to the second here is the message I receive:
Congratulations! You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 13).

Thanks, Lindsey

Your plugins list shows two Java entries. I do not know if you need both. 
# Runs Java applets using the latest installed versions of Java. For more information: Java Embedding Plugin. Run version test: Java Information.

Hi, I checked with the system update and I do indeed have the most up to date java installed.
The java plugins are ones that came automatically installed when I downloaded firefox.
I just want them to work so I don't have to revert to safari to view java pages.

How to draw an overlay on a SurfaceView used by Camera on Android?

Solution 1: I have a simple program that draws the preview of the Camera into a SurfaceView . What I'm trying to do is using the onPreviewFrame method, which is invoked each time a new frame is drawn into the SurfaceView , in order to execute the invalidate method which is supposed to invoke the onDraw method. In fact, the onDraw method is being invoked, but nothing there is being printed (I guess the camera preview is overwriting the text I'm trying to draw). This is a simplify version of the SurfaceView subclass I have: public class Superficie extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder . Callback { SurfaceHolder mHolder ; public Camera camera ; Superficie ( Context context ) { super ( context ); mHolder = getHolder (); mHolder . addCallback ( this ); mHolder . setType ( SurfaceHolder . SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS ); } public void surfaceCreated ( final SurfaceHolder holder ) { camera = Camera . open (); try {

Create EditText with dropdown in android

EditText is a view which is used so frequently in Android application,specially in applications which has forms which allow user to fill information of any kind. When you have filled any form you must have a faced an problem (specially on mobile devices) ie. deleting the text written in EditText and prepare editable dropdown which allows to enter manual data with dropdown. So I have created my own custom EditText ie. DropDownEditText.This customized view contains a Button inside the EditText itself. So just on pressing this Button only once you can populate the dropdown with ArrayAdapter. So here my code goes… First XML code for customized view. dropdown_edit_text.xml <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width=”fill_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” > <EditText android:id=”@+id/dropdown_edit” android:layout_width=”fill_parent” androi
