Obfuscation is often considered as a magic solution for code protection, by making your code harder to understand if it ever gets de-compiled by hackers. But if you're thinking that removing the Log.x(..) actually removes the information the hackers need, you'll have a nasty surprise. Removing al...

In some circumstances (for example obtaining a Google API key) you need to find your keystore fingerprint. Gradle has a convenient task that display all the signing information, including keystore fingerprints: ./gradlew signingReport This is a sample output: :app:signingReport Variant: releas...

The Standard (10.4) states: Member functions can be called from a constructor (or destructor) of an abstract class; the effect of making a virtual call (10.3) to a pure virtual function directly or indirectly for the object being created (or destroyed) from such a constructor (or destructor) is u...

An array containing the full version information split into elements, much more convenient than $BASH_VERSION if you're just looking for the major version: ~> $ for ((i=0; i<=5; i++)); do echo "BASH_VERSINFO[$i] = ${BASH_VERSINFO[$i]}"; done BASH_VERSINFO[0] = 3 BASH_VERSINFO[1] =...

LINQ provides a built-in function for checking the equality of two IEnumerables, and that function can be used on arrays. The SequenceEqual function will return true if the arrays have the same length and the values in corresponding indices are equal, and false otherwise. int[] arr1 = { 3, 5, 7 };...

Decorator is one of structural design patterns. It is used to add, remove or change behaviour of object. This document will teach you how to use Decorator DP properly.
