This option allows you to clear a TLA for references and values at TLA allocation time and pre-fetch the next chunk. When an integer, a reference, or anything else is declared, it has a default value of 0 or null (depending upon type). At the appropriate time, you will need to clear these references...

When used with -XXallocClearChunkSize, this option sets the size of the chunks to be cleared. If this flag is used but no value is specified, the default is 512 bytes. Usage: -XXallocClearChunks -XXallocClearChunkSize=<size>[k|K][m|M][g|G]

kotlin-gradle-plugin is used to compile Kotlin code with Gradle. Basically, its version should correspond to the Kotlin version you want to use. E.g. if you want to use Kotlin 1.0.3, then you need to aplly kotlin-gradle-plugin version 1.0.3 too. It's a good idea to externalize this version in gradl...

Protocol Oriented Programming is a useful tool in order to easily write better unit tests for our code. Let's say we want to test a UIViewController that relies on a ViewModel class. The needed steps on the production code are: Define a protocol that exposes the public interface of the class Vi...

The POSIX C library defines the getline() function. This function allocates a buffer to hold the line contents and returns the new line, the number of characters in the line, and the size of the buffer. Example program that gets each line from example.txt: #include <stdlib.h> #include <s...

String hubUrl = "http://localhost:4444/wd/hub" DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox(); //or which browser you want RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(hubUrl, capability);

Creating a hub A quick configuration for a hub and node setup in selenium grid. For more information see: Grid 2 docs Requirements To set up a grid hub you need the flowing: Selenium-server-standalone-.jar Creating the hub To Create a Hub you need to run the selenium server. Download Se...

Extension methods are useful for adding functionality to enumerations. One common use is to implement a conversion method. public enum YesNo { Yes, No, } public static class EnumExtentions { public static bool ToBool(this YesNo yn) { return yn == YesNo.Yes; ...

Sometimes you have custom objects that contain data but do not derive from MonoBehaviour. Adding these objects as a field in a class that is MonoBehaviour will have no visual effect unless you write your own custom property drawer for the object's type. Below is a simple example of a custom object,...

By default, the navigation pattern works like a stack of pages, calling the newest pages over the previous pages. You will need to use the NavigationPage object for this. Pushing new pages ... public class App : Application { public App() { MainPage = new NavigationPage(new ...

Modal pages can created in three ways: From NavigationPage object for full screen pages For Alerts and Notifications For ActionSheets that are pop-ups menus Full screen modals ... // to open await Navigation.PushModalAsync(new ModalPage()); // to close await Navigation.PopModalAsync(); ...

In CSS3, we can stack multiple background in the same element. #mydiv { background-image: url(img_1.png), /* top image */ url(img_2.png), /* middle image */ url(img_3.png); /* bottom image */ background-position: right bottom, ...

The below code will turn the table with an id of tableid into a DataTable, as well as return a DataTables API instance: $(document).ready(function() { $('#tableid').DataTable(); }); Compare this to the below code, which will turn the table into a DataTable but will not return a DataTables ...

The interface defines the behaviour that you want to expose through the DependencyService. One example usage of a DependencyService is a Text-To-Speech service. There is currently no abstraction for this feature in Xamarin.Forms, so you need to create your own. Start off by defining an interface for...

The interface you defined needs to be implemented in every targeted platform. For iOS this is done through the AVFoundation framework. The following implementation of the ITextToSpeech interface handles speaking a given text in English. using AVFoundation; public class TextToSpeechiOS : ITextToS...

After you've created and registered your platform-specific classes you can start hooking them up to your shared code. The following page contains a button that triggers the text-to-speech functionality using a pre-defined sentence. It uses DependencyService to retrieve a platform-specific implementa...

The Android specific implementation is a bit more complex because it forces you to inherit from a native Java.Lang.Object and forces you to implement the IOnInitListener interface. Android requires you to provide a valid Android context for a lot of the SDK methods it exposes. Xamarin.Forms exposes ...

' Sometimes we don't need to evaluate all the conditions in an if statement's boolean check. ' Let's suppose we have a list of strings: Dim MyCollection as List(Of String) = New List(of String)() ' We want to evaluate the first value inside our list: If MyCollection.Count > 0 And MyCo...

' The OrElse operator is the homologous of AndAlso. It lets us perform a boolean ' comparison evaluating the second condition only if the first one is False If testFunction(5) = True OrElse otherFunction(4) = True Then ' If testFunction(5) is True, otherFunction(4) is not called. ' In...
