The autocomplete feature in the Google Places API for Android provides place predictions to user. While user types in the search box, autocomplete shows places according to user's queries. AutoCompleteActivity.java private TextView txtSelectedPlaceName; @Override protected void onCreate(@Nulla...

List subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex) Here fromIndex is inclusive and toIndex is exclusive. List list = new ArrayList(); List list1 = list.subList(fromIndex,toIndex); If the list doesn't exist in the give range, it throws IndexOutofBoundException. What ever changes made on the list1 wi...

Often you want to match an expression only in specific places (leaving them untouched in others, that is). Consider the following sentence: An apple a day keeps the doctor away (I eat an apple everyday). Here the "apple" occurs twice which can be solved with so called backtracking cont...

The result of a reinterpret_cast from one function pointer type to another, or one function reference type to another, is unspecified. Example: int f(); auto fp = reinterpret_cast<int(*)(int)>(&f); // fp has unspecified value C++03 The result of a reinterpret_cast from one object poi...

So your query has failed (see MySQLi connect for how we made $conn) $result = $conn->query('SELECT * FROM non_existent_table'); // This query will fail How do we find out what happened? $result is false so that's no help. Thankfully the connect $conn can tell us what MySQL told us about the f...

Consider preceding is our function definition with optional arguments. private static double FindAreaWithOptional(int length, int width=56) { try { return (length * width); } catch (Exception) { thro...

Custom validation attributes can be created by deriving from the ValidationAttribute base class, then overriding virtual methods as needed. [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)] public class NotABananaAttribute : ValidationAttribute { public ov...

Less doesn't put any restrictions on the number of times the parent selector (&) can be used in a complex selector and so, we can use it more than once like in the below examples to select sibling elements without the need to repeat the selector. .demo { border: 1px solid black; /* add borde...

The following snippet replaces all Attributes called PreviousAttribute by an Attribute called ReplacementAttribute for an entire solution. The sample manually searches the Syntax tree and replaces all affected nodes. static async Task<bool> ModifySolution(string solutionPath) { ...

The following snippet replaces all Attributes called "PreviousAttribute" by an Attribute called "ReplacementAttribute" for an entire solution. The sample manually uses a SyntaxRewriter to exchange the attributes. /// <summary> /// The CSharpSyntaxRewriter allows to rewrit...

C11 The function specifier _Noreturn was introduced in C11. The header <stdnoreturn.h> provides a macro noreturn which expands to _Noreturn. So using _Noreturn or noreturn from <stdnoreturn.h> is fine and equivalent. A function that's declared with _Noreturn (or noreturn) is not allowe...

Sometimes a poorly designed 3rd-party library will write unwanted diagnostics to System.out or System.err streams. The recommended solutions to this would be to either find a better library or (in the case of open source) fix the problem and contribute a patch to the developers. If the above solu...

Function calls as f(a) always imply a sequence point between the evaluation of the arguments and the designator (here f and a) and the actual call. If two such calls are unsequenced, the two function calls are indeterminately sequenced, that is, one is executed before the other, and order is unspeci...

Introduces the definition of a class type. class foo { int x; public: int get_x(); void set_x(int new_x); }; Introduces an elaborated type specifier, which specifies that the following name is the name of a class type. If the class name has been declared already, it ca...

An XSLT processor is necessary in order to perform any XSLT transformation. It can usually be installed via system's package manager. E.g. in Debian it can be installed with: sudo apt-get install xsltproc

C++11 Yields the type of its operand, which is not evaluated. If the operand e is a name without any additional parentheses, then decltype(e) is the declared type of e. int x = 42; std::vector<decltype(x)> v(100, x); // v is a vector<int> If the operand e is a class member...

In a switch statement, introduces a label that will be jumped to if the condition's value is not equal to any of the case labels' values. char c = getchar(); bool confirmed; switch (c) { case 'y': confirmed = true; break; case 'n': confirmed = false; break; default: ...

A named style requires the x:Key property to be set and applies only to elements that explicitly reference it by name: <StackPanel> <StackPanel.Resources> <Style x:Key="MyTextBlockStyle" TargetType="TextBlock"> <Setter Property=&qu...
