Here is a snipet that will set the background color of a ActionBar to a hexcolor.
final ActionBar bar = getActionBar(); bar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS); bar.setDisplayOptions(0, ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE); bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#000000"))); |
Color.parseColor will take any hexstring of a color and make it into a int.
What git is trying to say here is that the mode of the files have changed, the content of the file is still the same.
If this is common and the filemodes are not important for this project we can simply tell git to ignore this.
Either by telling git to do this as default or only for this project.
Default
git config core.filemode false |
Only for this project edit .git/config
[Core] filemode = false |
And in case we do need to check in single filemode changes the following works
git update-index --chmod=(+|-)x path/to/file |
When working with for instance the Sony SmartWatch there is a need to specify layout for the Watch in pixels (not device pixels) – as the SmartWatch is a fixed size and not dependent of the device it is connected to. When this is done the lint verification will warn about this being a bad idea, but it is possible to suppress this warning by adding the following to the xml file:
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/background" > <View tools:ignore="PxUsage" android:id="@+id/smartWatchView" android:layout_width="128px" android:layout_height="128px" android:visibility="visible" android:layout_centerInParent="true" /> </RelativeLayout> |
This will start out with an error such as the following:
$ git pull origin master error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed while accessing https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy.git/info/refs |
If it is acceptable to turn off the SSL validation instead of actually solving the issue this will turn off validation for the current repo
git config --local http.sslVerify false |
If you would rather have this as a default behaviour for git then the following will do it for all repos
git global --local http.sslVerify false |
and for those that would rather add to the .git/config file directly the entry looks like
[http] sslVerify = false |
We are all used to seeing lines like “D/dalvikvm( 8285): GC_CONCURRENT freed 494K, 9% free 14648K/16071K, paused 2ms+2ms” in the logcat, but what does the types mean (why is the device Garbage collecting just then)?
From the sources “dalvik/vm/alloc/Heap.h” we find that
typedef enum { /* Not enough space for an "ordinary" Object to be allocated. */ GC_FOR_MALLOC, /* Automatic GC triggered by exceeding a heap occupancy threshold. */ GC_CONCURRENT, /* Explicit GC via Runtime.gc(), VMRuntime.gc(), or SIGUSR1. */ GC_EXPLICIT, /* GC to try to reduce heap footprint to allow more non-GC'ed memory. */ GC_EXTERNAL_ALLOC, /* GC to dump heap contents to a file, only used under WITH_HPROF */ GC_HPROF_DUMP_HEAP } GcReason; |
And a slightly more expanded explanation is:
GC_FOR_MALLOC was triggered because there wasn’t enough memory left on the heap to perform an allocation.
GC_EXPLICIT means that the garbage collector has been explicitly asked to collect.
GC_CONCURRENT Is triggered when the heap has reached a certain amount of objects to collect.
GC_EXTERNAL_ALLOC is triggered when the VM is trying to reduce the amount of memory used for collectable objects, to make room for more non-collectable.
Pretend we just did a “git rm” but realized that we wish to keep one file we just removed.
git checkout HEAD path/to/file |
This will simply checkout the file from the HEAD revision.
Another alternative is to use git reset if it is more files and no other changes are uncommitted (or stage before doing the reset)
In most cases this is really not needed, if possible please keep the float as a float and work with it as such, but if needed the following works
public static Integer floatToInteger(float value){ if (Math.round(value) < Integer.MIN_VALUE || Math.round(value) > Integer.MAX_VALUE) { throw new IllegalArgumentException (value + " cannot be cast to int without changing its value."); } return (int) Math.round(value); } |
(It might be needed for instance for a switch/case as that don’t work with float – or to work with external/legacy API’s that we can not or wish not to modify)
Lets say that there is an existing repository that we should pull the files from.
mkdir local-repo cd local-repo git init git remote add origin user@server:remote-repo git pull origin master |
What is done here is
The main difference bewteen this and creating a new remote repository is that no files are added and no initial commit is being made – since there is content in the remote repository we are joining.
In the utils package there is a function that can be used to control the screen state.
/** * Set the accessory screens state. * * @see Control.Intents#SCREEN_STATE_AUTO * @see Control.Intents#SCREEN_STATE_DIM * @see Control.Intents#SCREEN_STATE_OFF * @see Control.Intents#SCREEN_STATE_ON * * @param state The screen state. */ protected void setScreenState(final int state) { if (Dbg.DEBUG) { Dbg.d("setScreenState: " + state); } Intent intent = new Intent(Control.Intents.CONTROL_SET_SCREEN_STATE_INTENT); intent.putExtra(Control.Intents.EXTRA_SCREEN_STATE, state); sendToHostApp(intent); } |
So all we need to do in order to control the screen state is to call this with the correct screen state intent. The following example will keep the screen on
setScreenState(Intents.SCREEN_STATE_ON); |
Here is a small sample that will rotate a bitmap.
Bitmap animation = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(mContext.getResources(), R.drawable.eye_rotate, mBitmapOptions); Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(animation.getWidth(), animation.getHeight(), BITMAP_CONFIG); bitmap.setDensity(DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT); Matrix matrix = new Matrix(); matrix.reset(); matrix.setTranslate(0, 0); matrix.postRotate(degrees, (animation.getWidth()/2), (animation.getHeight()/2)); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap); Paint paint = new Paint(); int xPos = 0; int yPos = 0; Rect src = new Rect(xPos, yPos, xPos + animation.getWidth(), yPos + animation.getHeight()); Rect dst = new Rect(0, 0, animation.getWidth(), animation.getHeight()); canvas.drawBitmap(mBackground, src, dst, paint); canvas.drawBitmap(animation, matrix, null); |
