int width = 256; //in pixels int height = 256; //in pixels BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR); //BufferedImage.TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR - store RGB color and visibility (alpha), see javadoc for more info Graphics g = image.createGraphics(); //draw w...

Applets could easily be used to create a GUI. They act like a Container and have an add() method that takes any awt or swing component. public class MyGUIApplet extends JApplet{ private JPanel panel; private JButton button; private JComboBox<String> cmbBox; private JText...

A VIEW acts very much like a table. Although you can UPDATE a table, you may or may not be able to update a view into that table. In general, if the SELECT in the view is complex enough to require a temp table, then UPDATE is not allowed. Things like GROUP BY, UNION, HAVING, DISTINCT, and some su...

Let's say you're working on an app called MyTasks, and you want to allow inbound URLs to create a new task with a title and a body. The URL you're designing might look something like this: mytasks://create?title=hello&body=world (Of course, the text and body parameters are used to populate our...

You can retrieve the data stored at the located referenced by the pointer variable, using the ToString() method. The following example demonstrates this: using System; namespace UnsafeCodeApplication { class Program { public static void Main() { unsafe { ...

In C#, an array name and a pointer to a data type same as the array data, are not the same variable type. For example, int *p and int[] p, are not same type. You can increment the pointer variable p because it is not fixed in memory but an array address is fixed in memory, and you can't increment th...

There is no single command to rename a MySQL database but a simple workaround can be used to achieve this by backing up and restoring: mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <new name> mysqldump -uroot -p<password> --routines <old name> | mysql -uroot -pmypassword <new na...

Renaming a table can be done in a single command: RENAME TABLE `<old name>` TO `<new name>`; The following syntax does exactly the same: ALTER TABLE `<old name>` RENAME TO `<new name>`; If renaming a temporary table, the ALTER TABLE version of the syntax must be used....

Renaming a column can be done in a single statement but as well as the new name, the "column definition" (i.e. its data type and other optional properties such as nullability, auto incrementing etc.) must also be specified. ALTER TABLE `<table name>` CHANGE `<old name>` `<n...

Data frames are R's tabular data structure. They can be written to or read from in a variety of ways. This example illustrates a couple common situations. See the links at the end for other resources. Writing Before making the example data below, make sure you're in a folder you want to write to....

There are many reasons a write operation may fail. A frequent one is because your security rules reject the operation, for example because you're not authenticated (by default a database can only be accessed by an authenticated user). You can see these security rule violations in the logcat output....

Make sure the following dependency is added to your app's build.gradle file under dependencies: compile 'com.android.support:support-core-ui:25.3.0' Then add the ViewPager to your activity layout: <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="@+id/viewpager" android:layo...

Considering that most debuggers are not aware of #define macros, but can check enum constants, it may be desirable to do something like this: #if __STDC_VERSION__ < 199900L typedef enum { false, true } bool; /* Modern C code might expect these to be macros. */ # ifndef bool # define bool bo...

Sometimes you might have branches lying around that have already had their changes merged into master. This finds all branches that are not master that have no unique commits as compared to master. This is very useful for finding branches that were not deleted after the PR was merged into master. ...

It's important to handle exceptions in your service. When developing the service, you can set the WCF to provide more detailed information, adding this tag to configuration file, usually Web.config: <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> This tag must be placed w...

You can handle exceptions and throw a most friendly message like 'Unavailable service' throwing a FaultException: try { // your service logic here } catch (Exception ex) { // You can do something here, like log the original exception throw new FaultException("There was a pro...

The FaultException can also includes a FaultCode, that is a string data you can use to pass additional information, so the client can be able to distinguish different exceptions: try { // your service logic here } catch (Exception ex) { throw new FaultException("There was a proble...

-- Create and drop a view in the current database. CREATE VIEW few_rows_from_t1 AS SELECT * FROM t1 LIMIT 10; DROP VIEW few_rows_from_t1; -- Create and drop a view referencing a table in a different database. CREATE VIEW table_from_other_db AS SELECT x FROM db1.foo WHERE x IS NOT NULL; DROP V...

If you implement or create a listener in an Activity, always pay attention to the lifecycle of the object that has the listener registered. Consider an application where we have several different activities/fragments interested in when a user is logged in or out. One way of doing this would be to h...
