For example we will create view that contains emitter layer and animates particles. import QuartzCore class ConfettiView: UIView { // main emitter layer var emitter: CAEmitterLayer! // array of color to emit var colors: [UIColor]! // intensity of appearance var ...

Demonstrate how to embed a lua interpreter in C code, expose a C-defined function to Lua script, evaluate a Lua script, call a C-defined function from Lua, and call a Lua-defined function from C (the host). In this example, we want the mood to be set by a Lua script. Here is mood.lua: -- Get versi...

To setup a WebRTC-based communication system, you need three main components: A WebRTC signaling server To establish a WebRTC connections, peers need to contact a signaling server, which then provides the address information the peers require to set up a peer-to-peer connection. Signaling serv...

Suppose you have multiple threads running. Each thread is doing one task. You want to get notified either on the mainThread OR another thread, when all the task-threads are completed. The simplest solution to such a problem is a DispatchGroup. When using a DispatchGroup, for each request, you ente...

Validation attributes can be used to easily configure model validation. public class MyModel { public int id { get; set; } //sets the FirstName to be required, and no longer than 100 characters [Required] [StringLength(100)] public string FirstName { get; set; } } Th...

You can create your own queue using dispatch_queue_create Objective-C dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_queue_create("com.example.myqueue", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL); Swift // Before Swift 3 let queue = dispatch_queue_create("com.example.myqueue", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL) // ...

You can add an image to a view's layer simply by using its contents property: myView.layer.contents = UIImage(named: "star")?.CGImage Note that the UIImage needs to be converted to a CGImage. If you wish to add the image in its own layer, you can do it like this: let myLayer = CA...

Basics There are a number of different transforms you can do on a layer, but the basic ones are translate (move) scale rotate To do transforms on a CALayer, you set the layer's transform property to a CATransform3D type. For example, to translate a layer, you would do something like this:...

You can test that a function throws an exception with the built-in unittest through two different methods. Using a context manager def division_function(dividend, divisor): return dividend / divisor class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase): def test_using_context_manager(self): ...

Xposed is a framework that allows you to hook method calls of other apps. When you do a modification by decompiling an APK, you can insert/change commands directly wherever you want. However, you will need to recompile/sign the APK afterwards and you can only distribute the whole package. With Xpose...

In an iOS app, your user interface can take on one of a few different general shapes and sizes. These are defined using size classes, which are available through a view or view controller's trait collection. Apple defines two size classes: regular and compact. Each of these size classes are availab...

Making an app adaptive – that is, responding to size class changes by changing your layout – often involves lots of help from the Auto Layout system. One of the primary ways apps become adaptive is by updating the active Auto Layout constraints when a view's size class changes. For example, conside...

A key piece of adaptivity in a modern iOS app is supporting multitasking on iPad. By default, apps created in Xcode 7 and newer will be configured to support multitasking: they'll have a LaunchScreen.storyboard file that uses Auto Layout. The easiest way for existing apps to opt in to multitasking ...

void alertDialogDemo() { // get alert_dialog.xml view LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(getApplicationContext()); View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.alert_dialog, null); AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder( ...

String literals are used to specify arrays of characters. They are sequences of characters enclosed within double quotes (e.g. "abcd" and have the type char*). The L prefix makes the literal a wide character array, of type wchar_t*. For example, L"abcd". Since C11, there are ot...

Floating point literals are used to represent signed real numbers. The following suffixes can be used to specify type of a literal: SuffixTypeExamplesnonedouble3.1415926 -3E6f, Ffloat3.1415926f 2.1E-6Fl, Llong double3.1415926L 1E126L In order to use these suffixes, the literal must be a floating p...

Character literals are a special type of integer literals that are used to represent one character. They are enclosed in single quotes, e.g. 'a' and have the type int. The value of the literal is an integer value according to the machine's character set. They do not allow suffixes. The L prefix bef...

Considering a (post)model: public class User { public string FirstName { get; set; } public bool IsAdmin { get; set; } } With a view like so: @using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.EditorFor(model => model.FirstName) <input type="submit" value="Save" /...

Suppose we want to have a route that allows an unbound number of segments like so: http://example.com/Products/ (view all products) http://example.com/Products/IT http://example.com/Products/IT/Laptops http://example.com/Products/IT/Laptops/Ultrabook http://example.com/Products/IT/Laptops/Ult...
