DBContract.java //Define the tables and columns of your local database public final class DBContract { /*Content Authority its a name for the content provider, is convenient to use the package app name to be unique on the device */ public static final String CONTENT_AUTHORITY =...

A module is an importable file containing definitions and statements. A module can be created by creating a .py file. # hello.py def say_hello(): print("Hello!") Functions in a module can be used by importing the module. For modules that you have made, they will need to be in t...

This object, Shape has a property image that depends on numberOfSides and sideWidth. If either one of them is set, than the image has to be recalculated. But recalculation is presumably long, and only needs to be done once if both properties are set, so the Shape provides a way to set both propertie...

In C#, types can define custom Conversion Operators, which allow values to be converted to and from other types using either explicit or implicit casts. For example, consider a class that is meant to represent a JavaScript expression: public class JsExpression { private readonly string expres...

Suppose you have types like the following: interface IThing { } class Thing : IThing { } LINQ allows you to create a projection that changes the compile-time generic type of an IEnumerable<> via the Enumerable.Cast<>() and Enumerable.OfType<>() extension methods. IEnumerabl...

A Closure is a function taken together with an environment. The function is typically an anonymous function defined inside another function. The environment is the lexical scope of the enclosing function (very basic idea of a lexical scope of a function would be the scope that exists between the fun...

Suppose you have many changes in one or more files but from each file you only want to commit some of the changes, you can select the desired changes using: git add -p or git add -p [file] Each of your changes will be displayed individually, and for each change you will be prompted to choose...

A simple context tree (containing some common values that might be request scoped and included in a context) built from Go code like the following: // Pseudo-Go ctx := context.WithValue( context.WithDeadline( context.WithValue(context.Background(), sidKey, sid), time.Now().A...

A database is created with the following SQL command: CREATE DATABASE myDatabase; This would create an empty database named myDatabase where you can create tables.

Matplotlib supports both object-oriented and imperative syntax for plotting. The imperative syntax is intentionally designed to be very close to Matlab syntax. The imperative syntax (sometimes called 'state-machine' syntax) issues a string of commands all of which act on the most recent figure or a...

First, ensure you have imported sessions from flask from flask import session To use session, a Flask application needs a defined SECRET_KEY. app = Flask(__name__) app.secret_key = 'app secret key' Sessions are implemented by default using a cookie signed with the secret key. This ensures t...

defaultProps allows you to set default, or fallback, values for your component props. defaultProps are useful when you call components from different views with fixed props, but in some views you need to pass different value. Syntax ES5 var MyClass = React.createClass({ getDefaultProps: ...

When a React component is created, a number of functions are called: If you are using React.createClass (ES5), 5 user defined functions are called If you are using class Component extends React.Component (ES6), 3 user defined functions are called getDefaultProps() (ES5 only) This is the firs...

componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) This is the first function called on properties changes. When component's properties change, React will call this function with the new properties. You can access to the old props with this.props and to the new props with nextProps. With these variables, you c...

componentWillUnmount() This method is called before a component is unmounted from the DOM. It is a good place to perform cleaning operations like: Removing event listeners. Clearing timers. Stopping sockets. Cleaning up redux states. componentWillUnmount(){ ... } An example of remo...

With automatic reference counting (ARC), the compiler inserts retain, release, and autorelease statements where they are needed, so you don't have to write them yourself. It also writes dealloc methods for you. The sample program from Manual Memory Management looks like this with ARC: @interface M...

Modern A weak reference looks like one of these: @property (weak) NSString *property; NSString *__weak variable; If you have a weak reference to an object, then under the hood: You're not retaining it. When it gets deallocated, every reference to it will automatically be set to nil Obje...

This is an example of a program written with manual memory management. You really shouldn't write your code like this, unless for some reason you can't use ARC (like if you need to support 32-bit). The example avoids @property notation to illustrate how you used to have to write getters and setters....

A word of caution: AsyncTask has many gotcha's apart from the memory leak described here. So be careful with this API, or avoid it altogether if you don't fully understand the implications. There are many alternatives (Thread, EventBus, RxAndroid, etc). One common mistake with AsyncTask is to c...
