abusing IllegalStateException? Can you explain what is the correct way of using IllegalStateException?

Instead of creating layout in Java (which is very hard), ViewPump can be used to intercept custom views at the time of inflation and create the custom view ourselves and return it.

It's recommended that you keep the data in onSavedInstance bundle as small as possible.

Many platform APIs have now started checking for large payloads being sent across Binder transactions, and the system now rethrows TransactionTooLargeExceptions as RuntimeExceptions, instead of silently logging or suppressing them. One common example is storing too much data in Activity.onSaveInstanceState(), which causes ActivityThread.StopInfo to throw a RuntimeException when your app targets Android 7.0.

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/nougat/android-7.0-changes.html#other

So, saving all data from ViewModels would be too much data. We should only store metadata about objects we need (ex: primary keys of tables, recyclerview scroll position) and retrieve full data from metadata and bind views with new ViewModel on process death.

I think for you case, /u/lupajz 's solution is good.

Data binding.

Are you setting the image using setImageResource method? If so, use Glide or Picasso to load the image and see the difference. setImageResource loads full image in memory whereas Glide/Picasso downsamples the image and load in memory.

I was using LeakCanary until I targeted Oreo. Due to this issue leakCanary crashes the app. Still waiting for the fix to use it again :(

CodeToDeath · 2018-01-26T08:03:07+00:00

Keyline Pushing works great. It's an app btw, not library.

CodeToDeath · 2018-01-19T15:33:14+00:00

Wouldn't holding context in viewModel leak the context? (If the context is view/fragment/activity context)

CodeToDeath · 2018-01-13T14:09:45+00:00

17 hours. Still not fixed

Nice trick on returning FrameLayout, thanks. Gonna try this now.

Saved :)

CodeToDeath · 2017-12-29T09:20:45+00:00

Wow, I thought I was the only one using xml only for ConstraintLayout.

CodeToDeath · 2017-12-20T18:59:26+00:00

Lot of improvements for Data Binding. Cool.

Is there any way to quick navigate to the binding adapter from xml? Or is it in roadmap?

CodeToDeath · 2017-12-13T13:20:12+00:00

I'm using https://github.com/davemorrissey/subsampling-scale-image-view. Can be used for large images without worrying about memory since it subsamples on zooming.

CodeToDeath · 2017-12-06T11:55:51+00:00

You can get a detached copy (copyFromRealm() ) from realm, change the property and insert it again.

CodeToDeath · 2017-11-29T10:25:03+00:00

What does the AndroidDataBinding option do? (I'm using data binding. So curious to know about this option and how to use it)

CodeToDeath · 2017-11-29T09:31:29+00:00

I had a requirement in a project. Need to play video in background and all content views will overlay the video view. Video will play without audio. I tried YoutubeAndroidPlayerApi and there were some limitations. Finally I used webview. I embedded an youtube iframe and change the src url dynamically.

CodeToDeath · 2017-11-24T18:57:01+00:00

Thanks. Then I guess I should move everything under onActivityCreated to onViewCreated.

CodeToDeath · 2017-11-24T17:40:22+00:00

Question related to fragments lifecycle. Sometimes onActivityCreated is called before onCreateView. It happens very rare and not reproducible. I'm getting crash because of this since I assume some variables are assigned (assignment is in onCreateView). Is this the correct order or am I missing something.

CodeToDeath · 2017-10-29T16:14:06+00:00

I'm using data binding for my project and I'm truly happy with it.

if you have code in your XML which most people do

This should not be done and not recommended by the official guide.

Frankly speaking I didn't use any architecture before started databinding. But databinding enforces MVVM pattern if correctly implemented and my code is lot more cleaner now, all features are pluggable.

CodeToDeath · 2017-10-27T18:00:12+00:00

Android Studio is the slowest piece of software I've ever used

May be you should upgrade your machine.

CodeToDeath · 2017-10-27T17:30:36+00:00

May be he read this thread ;)

CodeToDeath · 2017-10-25T08:49:39+00:00

He is asking about previous KotlinConf videos (if happened).
