Inline display elements, usually such as span or a, will include up to one white-space character before and after them in the document. In order to avoid very long lines in the markup (that are hard to read) and unintentional white-space (which affects formatting), the white-space can be commented o...

Since the release of Gradle 2.2, the use of the android-apt plugin is no longer used. The following method of setting up Dagger 2 should be used. For older version of Gradle, use the previous method shown below. For Gradle >= 2.2 dependencies { // apt command comes from the android-apt plu...

First of all you need Uri and temp Folders and request codes : public final int REQUEST_SELECT_PICTURE = 0x01; public final int REQUEST_CODE_TAKE_PICTURE = 0x2; public static String TEMP_PHOTO_FILE_NAME ="photo_"; Uri mImageCaptureUri; File mFileTemp; Then init mFileTemp : public ...

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...

One of the use cases of callback URLs is OAuth. Let us do this with an Instagram Login: If the user enters their credentials and clicks the Login button, Instagram will validate the credentials and return an access_token. We need that access_token in our app. For our app to be able to listen to suc...

X-Macros can be used for code generation, by writing repetitive code: iterate over a list to do some tasks, or to declare a set of constants, objects or functions. Here we use X-macros to declare an enum containing 4 commands and a map of their names as strings Then we can print the string values ...

Enums contains only constants and can be compared directly with ==. So, only reference check is needed, no need to use .equals method. Moreover, if .equals used incorrectly, may raise the NullPointerException while that's not the case with == check. enum Day { GOOD, AVERAGE, WORST; } publi...

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...

Most, but not all, C++ implementations support the #pragma once directive which ensures the file is only included once within a single compilation. It is not part of any ISO C++ standard. For example: // Foo.h #pragma once class Foo { }; While #pragma once avoids some problems associated w...

Insertion sort is a very simple, stable, in-place sorting algorithm. It performs well on small sequences but it is much less efficient on large lists. At every step, the algorithms considers the i-th element of the given sequence, moving it to the left until it is in the correct position. Graphica...

There are two common ways to list all processes on a system. Both list all processes running by all users, though they differ in the format they output (the reason for the differences are historical). ps -ef # lists all processes ps aux # lists all processes in alternative format (BSD) Thi...

Process ID (pid) of the current instance of Bash. This is not the same as the $$ variable, but it often gives the same result. This is new in Bash 4 and doesn't work in Bash 3. ~> $ echo "\$\$ pid = $$ BASHPID = $BASHPID" $$ pid = 9265 BASHPID = 9265

An environment variable pointing to the Bash startup file which is read when a script is invoked.

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] =...

Shows the version of bash that is running, this allows you to decide whether you can use any advanced features: ~> $ echo $BASH_VERSION 4.1.2(1)-release
