All widely used Prolog interpreters use argument indexing to efficiently select suitable clauses. Users can typically rely on at least first argument indexing, meaning that clauses can be efficiently told apart by the functor and arity of the outermost term of the first argument. In calls where tha...

In this example we illustrate how to take a double real-type 3D matrix from MATLAB, and pass it to a C double* array. The main objectives of this example are showing how to obtain data from MATLAB MEX arrays and to highlight some small details in matrix storage and handling. matrixIn.cpp #include...

To retreive the screens width and height in pixels, we can make use of the WindowManagers display metrics. // Get display metrics DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics(); context.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics); These DisplayMetrics hold a series of informatio...

To get the screens density, we also can make use of the Windowmanagers DisplayMetrics. This is a quick example: // Get density in dpi DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics(); context.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics); int densityInDpi = metrics.densityDpi;

Some applications that use Hibernate generate a huge amount of SQL when the application is started. Sometimes it's better to enable/disable the SQL log in specific points when debugging. To enable, just run this code in your IDE when you are debugging the aplication: org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLog...
