Finished reading the first DSLR photographing book and practised three weekends on  a second-hand Canon D7 camera. Learn everything from a scratch from Zhixing.

For Android app, it is actually pretty easy to be decompiled into codes. It's pretty dangerous to simply put the app_api_key and app_api_secr...
