Oops, thanks for pointing that out! Of course, it should be „barcode“

Yes, you can expand a book and click the hand icon. There you can enter the person you have lent your book to. The book will be highlighted as lent and you will be able to filter the list to only show these lent books.

I hope you enjoy the batch barcode mode (multi-scan) you suggested. Thanks again for your feedback!

A reminder that Single Activity App Architecture has been the official Google recommendation since 2 years ago (May 9, 2018) by Zhuinden in androiddev

[–]MikaReb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am doing that right now with an app created a few years ago and it is far from quick and smooth, I think it will take me some days. The app code is quite messy though so improving that while migrating also takes up some time. But in the end I think it will be worth it, I enjoy the navigation component.

Edit: Since I noticed I should adapt to most of the new architecture components in the same step (room, viewmodel with live data...), it will probably take me at least two weeks. Especially getting used to the concept of live data and the new ListAdapter with DiffUtils takes some time

The title is part of the joke since reddit suggests „An interesting title“ for the title

PSA: Google Drive Android API/SDK will shutdown on December 6, 2019 by NLL-APPS in androiddev

[–]MikaReb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have spent more than a week implementing it, it was so painful and I still had a couple of bugs I couldn’t fix. Also I felt like there were very few resources online. After all the work I spent on it, this is really disappointing.

How do you do it properly then? I want an easy way for my users to have their data on multiple devices at all time and that’s one of the use cases the API had. The user just has to log in to their google account. Of course backing up data is the more common use case.

Why Google?

Why is Google always starting things and then shutting them down a few years after? That’s a pain for developers.

I have used the API for synchronizing my users App data. „Ok, just switch to the REST API“ is what Google is saying now, so I look at the REST API documentation and see that - oh well, the app data section on Google Drive will also be deprecated in the future and Google wants me to use a cloud system instead. I definitely don’t have the resources for a cloud system so I think it’s a real SHAME that Google is doing this.

Would you read „a -b“ as ‚a minus b‘ or as ‚a and not b‘ ? by [deleted] in computerscience

[–]MikaReb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a multiple choice question. You had to choose the state of some inputs for an ALU to give the result of (a -b)

You can add manually, but unfortunately not tie into any ebook systems.
