The beforeFilter() method executes before any other method executes in the controller. First use the Event namespace before defining the class in your controller file. use Cake\Event\Event; In your controller, add the beforeFilter() method as shown below. public function beforeFilter(Event $ev...

You can retrieve post data as Array. $post_data= $this->request->data; You can retrieve post data for particular key. $this->request->data['field']; Retrieve specific key value $this->request->data('key_name'); Retrieve specific key value of nested array $this->requ...

By default CakePHP loads the related model in the controller. In order to load another model in the controller, use the loadModel() method: $this->loadModel('Articles'); or load on the fly $table = TableRegistry::get('Articles'); $table->find();

Sometimes it is required to display a notification at a specific time, a task that unfortunately is not trivial on the Android system, as there is no method setTime() or similiar for notifications. This example outlines the steps needed to schedule notifications using the AlarmManager: Add a Broa...

The sensor values returned by Android are with respective to the phone's coordinate system (e.g. +Y points towards the top of the phone). We can transform these sensor values into a world coordinate system (e.g. +Y points towards magnetic North, tangential to the ground) using the sensor managers ro...

TabLayout provides a horizontal layout to display tabs, and is commonly used in conjunction with a ViewPager. Make sure the following dependency is added to your app's build.gradle file under dependencies: compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1' Now you can add items to a TabLayout in your ...

The Firebase Realtime Database is schemaless. This makes it easy to change things as you develop, but once your app is ready to distribute, it's important for data to stay consistent. The rules language includes a .validate rule which allows you to apply validation logic using the same expressions u...

The Firebase Realtime Database allows ordering and querying data. For small data sizes, the database supports ad hoc querying, so indexes are generally not required during development. Before launching your app though, it is important to specify indexes for any queries you have to ensure they contin...

You can save your code snippets for use later simply by drag and drop. For eg: if you have an NSLog statement that used for so many places somewhere else in the project, then you can save the NSLog statements to code snippets library. Drag the NSLog statement to code snippet library. Now you c...

The most simple way to create a thread is by calling a selector "in the background". This means a new thread is created to execute the selector. The receiving object can be any object, not just self, but it needs to respond to the given selector. - (void)createThread { [self performS...

Using a subclass of NSThread allows implementation of more complex threads (for example, to allow passing more arguments or to encapsulate all related helper methods in one class). Additionally, the NSThread instance can be saved in a property or variable and can be queried about its current state ...

Every thread has access to a mutable dictionary that is local to the current thread. This allows to cache informations in an easy way without the need for locking, as each thread has its own dedicated mutable dictionary: NSMutableDictionary *localStorage = [NSThread currentThread].threadDictionary;...

$ mkdir 20{09..11}-{01..12} Entering the ls command will show that the following directories were created: 2009-01 2009-04 2009-07 2009-10 2010-01 2010-04 2010-07 2010-10 2011-01 2011-04 2011-07 2011-10 2009-02 2009-05 2009-08 2009-11 2010-02 2010-05 2010-08 2010-11 2011-02 2011-05 2011-08 2011...

$ cp .vimrc{,.bak} This expands into the command cp .vimrc .vimrc.bak.

$ mv filename.{jar,zip} This expands into mv filename.jar filename.zip .

The default rules require Authentication. They allow full read and write access to authenticated users of your app. They are useful if you want data open to all users of your app but don't want it open to the world. // These rules require authentication { "rules": { ".read&...

Just define: // These rules give anyone, even people who are not users of your app, // read and write access to your database { "rules": { ".read": true, ".write": true } } It can be useful during development but pay attention because This level o...

You can define a private rules to disable read and write access to your database by users. With these rules, you can only access the database when you have administrative privileges (which you can get by accessing the database through the Firebase console or by signing in from a server). // These...
