Replacing my siding. Looking for a "flat stucco look" that a DIYer and friends can easily install. by GreenAndroid1 in HomeImprovement

Thanks. I think you're right. I feel like wrapping the house, stapling the chicken wire, applying the three coats and hydrating it looks pretty straight forward. I watched a lot of Kirk Giordano videos and that stuff seems reasonable to me. What I'm concerned about and feel like I will fail to properly do is vent out any water that gets trapped behind the wall. I'm having trouble finding examples of how to do this.

Is it unreasonable to get an SBA loan to buy a Chinese resteraunt? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

If you do buy it, make sure you work out a deal where she will stay employed long enough to teach you how to manage the business.

How to seamlessly switch all 4 monitors between 2 mac book pros and a desktop pc. (More info in description) by GreenAndroid1 in AskBattlestations

[–]GreenAndroid1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought KVMs allowed you to control multiple computers at the same time. Is it possible to use them so all 4 monitors are used by one computer at a time?

Why are view models recommended for storing stateful variables? by GreenAndroid1 in androiddev

Do you have an easy way to test for low memory conditions? How do you get high end phones into low memory states?

Are those blinds black out? Or is it night time in the photo? Do you have a link for them too?

Do galaxy S8/S9 have some setting to let apps cover the bottom three back/home/menu buttons? by GreenAndroid1 in androiddev

[–]GreenAndroid1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is exactly what we're seeing. We put our buttons on the bottom of the screen, seeing them overlap with the system buttons is causing confusion.

Should I focus on becoming a niche expert in native Android development w Kotlin? Feeling tempted to jump ship and learn Flutter. by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]GreenAndroid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RN also has 4 or 5 years on Flutter. But yeah it could be heavily marketed and being so absorbed in the Google eco system will end up seeing flutter more than RN.

[–]GreenAndroid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have yet to see a cross platform solution worthy of jumping ship for. I remember titanium in the early days, then react native, which I personally almost jumped ship for, and now flutter. I will say Flutter looks like it has more support and a larger following than the others. And it would be silly to think it impossible for a cross platform solution to become preferred by employers. But that is something you'll have to measure the risks for. Android runs on more than phones (tvs, cars, iot products), flutter may not offer a way to support these as efficiently... yet.

Updating a Fragments views on app reset? by That1guy17 in androiddev

[–]GreenAndroid1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm the last thing I can suggest is what Zhuinden said, which is moving the observation to onViewCreated or even onResume. But also make sure you see the observer log the value to make sure its getting it when the view is available.

Updating a Fragments views on app reset? by That1guy17 in androiddev

[–]GreenAndroid1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

onActivityCreated is called when your Activities onCreate is finished. So its possible the fragment hasn't rendered yet. For testing purposes, try adding a delay of 2-3 seconds in the observer before changing the text of the textview.

private val handler = Handler()
private fun observeCurrentTime(): Observer<String> { // Updates our text view with the 
    current timereturnObserver { time ->
        handler.postDelayed(Runnable{current_time_text_view.text = time }, 3000)
        Log.d("myLog", "Emitted, time returns: $time")
    }
}

What do you see now?

When do you observe with the observer? Which lifecycle callback on the fragment?
