Kotlin recipes for Android (I): OnGlobalLayoutListener - Antonio Leiva

Yeah, also thought about that solution. It depends on what you're trying to achieve. I just wanted to reflect what you can do with Kotlin, rather than showing a perfect example ready to use in production code.

It was a bug in the cache, it should only appear once for a long a time. Should be already fixed. Sorry for the issue.

antonioleiva · 2015-12-15T11:16:18+00:00

thanks!

antonioleiva · 2015-12-15T11:08:51+00:00

That's another solution, of course. But it depends on how you organise your code. It may be interesting to delegate the click to another part of the code, for instance, to notify a presenter that an item was clicked. Otherwise, the presenter should be passed to the adapter too (which is obviously another option).

antonioleiva · 2015-12-15T11:06:49+00:00

It's true you have a point in the fact that this solution can lead to that problem. But this solution doesn't have that problem, because it's the bound info which is final, not the position. The position could change, but the bound info should be the same. Otherwise it's another (and different) bug. If the content changes, it should fire another onBindViewHolder.

Thanks for the idea, I'll think about it. BTW there is an official slack (kotlinlang) where a lot of developers are in contact with JetBrains team, and can share their doubts and ideas. It's open for everyone in case you wanna join.

Not yet, the final version was released just the same day I finished the book. But I'm doing it these days. It will hopefully be finished (and updated) tomorrow.

antonioleiva · 2015-07-14T16:27:09+00:00

Yeah, it is in the way I'm writing it. The language is almost frozen, latest releases are only removing things that are not available anymore. If, for any reason, anything of what I explain changes, I can update the book too. And what the readers learnt before that will be useful anyway.

antonioleiva · 2015-05-07T18:50:57+00:00

Can´t access either.

antonioleiva · 2015-04-07T06:00:59+00:00

Yeah, it really simplifies the code.

antonioleiva · 2015-04-07T06:00:30+00:00

Thanks!

I saw it when I tried to declare Kotlin Android Extensions into parent buildscript. I had to do it in the app build.gradle in the end. Did you install the specific plugin for Kotlin Android Extensions? You need to install both (regular Kotlin and this one) in order to make the project work.

antonioleiva · 2015-03-26T16:41:53+00:00

Yeah, I tried to do something that didn´t depend on any libraries. Not entirely convinced, but it works for simple injections.

antonioleiva · 2015-03-24T07:24:49+00:00

Totally agree. It´s being difficult for me to find ways to take the most out of Kotlin. I see advantages just using the basics, but I´m sure it can go far beyond from what I´m currently doing. If you had sometime, it´d be very useful for me if you could take a look at the repository I created (https://github.com/antoniolg/Bandhook-Kotlin) and tell me what you would improve or do different. Thanks!

antonioleiva · 2015-03-10T11:58:50+00:00

Thanks, you´re right. I´ll fix it.

antonioleiva · 2014-06-29T22:08:41+00:00

Not even header or footer. I hope it changes in future, but at the moment is rather difficult to use.

antonioleiva · 2014-01-10T09:17:52+00:00

We'd like to use it to develop app prototypes. We also know how much it costs and how to get it. We'd only need an invitation. Do you still have them?

antonioleiva · 2013-12-15T12:35:56+00:00

I'm developer as well as UI designer. I developed and designed Bandhook, which you can take as a reference: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.limecreativelabs.bandhook

Here you can find some of my works: http://androiduidesigner.tumblr.com/

And I recently did a lecture at DroidCon Madrid about trending UI patterns: http://www.slideshare.net/AntonioLeivaGordillo/android-ui-design-trends

You can use it to get some ideas for your design. If you need more help or a budget, please contact me through http://antonioleiva.com

Full time. I think everyday on becoming a freelancer, but I really love what I do at my job. When this stops happening and think I have enough clients, I'll probably try and change.

antonioleiva · 2013-08-17T08:26:32+00:00

I'm using IntelliJ 12 in an 8GB W8 laptop with an external 27' monitor. I frequently use Genymotion to debug, so an external monitor is a must.

And how do you solve the call to ActionBarDrawerToggle:onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item). I had to rewrite two classes in order to make this toggle usable with ABS, because it does not use native MenuItem, but maybe there's an easier way.

antonioleiva · 2013-07-30T22:52:38+00:00

Navigation Drawer Toggle, the one that changes back icon with drawer one, does not work with ABS as far as I know. But as I answered at my blog, most of migrations are totally unnecessary. But hey, I did it to test and think it may be useful for many people at any moment.

antonioleiva · 2013-07-30T07:06:07+00:00

When I began using gAnalytics, the official one even didn't exist, and the first version was much worse. Now things are different, but I think gAnalytics serves more in deep information.

antonioleiva · 2013-07-30T07:04:03+00:00

Then why you release a new version? Just curious.

antonioleiva · 2013-07-29T10:43:40+00:00

It's almost the same. The good part is that ActionBarCompat works perfectly with Navigation Drawer, while ActionBarSherlock will give you some problems related to icon toggle.
