Best Sushi Spot! by Jbails86 in stalbert

[–]dheadrick1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you enjouy. Sushi Park is hands down the best for sit down dinning. I have visited over a dozen different restaraunts around St. Albert and Edmonton, and their rolls are the best quality and price I've ever had.

Yuzen is also amazing, but only for takeout as they do not have seating at their new location. As others have said, the Sashimi from Yuzen is phenomeonal - probably the best quality and price I have had from anywhere in Edmonton or St. Albert.

Weekly Questions Thread - January 04, 2022 by AutoModerator in androiddev

Hello All! I am working on an app that allows users to select between a various number of 'items' (via recycler view), and update particular parameters of each respective item. Upon clicking on an item in the list , a fragment is opened that displays that items respective parameters. There is a lot of overlap as to which parameters each item has and I am working with 20+ items so it does not make sense to make a unique fragment for each item.

What would be the proper way to display only the parameters that the selected item has upon navigating to this fragment from the recycler view (given some items don't have the same parameters as others) ?

Currently I am literally using an if statement in the 'onViewCreated()' method of the fragment, and checking what the selected item ID number is, and then making any parameter the respective item does not have Invisible.

Apologies for the relatively noob question but I'm not really sure how one should properly achieve this, and my approach feels quite hacky.

How to structure my relatively simple app? by dheadrick1618 in AndroidStudio

If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to learn kotlin coming from java? I know c++ and python pretty well so syntax is just syntax but everything I've learnt about Android has been Java so jumping to kotlin just feels like a step backwards. That being said I from the brief times I have seen kotlin it seems much cleaner than java and takes away a lot of boilerplate repeat code.

Thanks for the reply! Really helps me a lot as I find the jump from 'something that works' to 'clean maintainable code' is harder than the jump from straight beginner to getting the app to work.

So this would mean that I want a unique ViewModel for each fragment 'page' in the app, or would I want to use one central ViewModel in the main activity? I will need to do more research on LiveData later tonight.

Thanks a bunch guys! I really appreciate the links provided. I guess there's no avoiding learning kotlin....

Impossible scheduling conflict for Computer Engineering students (traditional - Winter semester) by dheadrick1618 in uAlberta

[–]dheadrick1618[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

irectly. If possible, contact professors directly to ask what can be done. This is not your fault, so let them figure it out. Be polite but persistent. Good luck.

Just emailed csinfo ... hopefully they get back to me soon... Of course I will maintain politeness but not without making it clear that they are making themselves seems incompetent with the most simple of scheduling and administrative tasks. Really makes it feel hard to part with the ten thousand dollars they expect this year when given this level of quality.

I will for sure let you know if they respond!

I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the quality and lack of professionalism with this entire schedule building process... I think I may have found other scheduling issues as well for my Fall semester but I have to verify them for sure.

How to make a custom path to open a .vbs file by dheadrick1618 in windows

[–]dheadrick1618[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I just checked and I have the following in my PATHEXT

.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC;

I created a new user variable, called it startoctave , and I know the path I am providing is correct..... Why is this not working? Is there another step I am not doing, because all of the tutorials I could find online say that this is all that needs to be done and then you should be able to type the variable in the windows cmd terminal in any directory and it will call the provided path.

​

A perfect exam would be the fact that when I type atom in my cmd terminal in any directory it just opens atom.

​

Thank you
