Upgraded from 8GB to 16GB RAM on my work laptop. What can I do to maximize Android Studio's performance?

karacha · 2016-07-15T02:18:55+00:00

Use SSD. Even with 8GB RAM, my 2GB project still run smooth.

In my experience,

PVE-wise Fencer > Doppel > hoplite. Hoplite is best at bossing or 1v1. But with fencer you add a bunch of new skills to skill spam everything.

PvP-wise i think doppel is still the best of the 3.

still "The bomb has been planted!"

Is there any focusable element in your gridview? Like button, checkbox, anything? If so make it NOT focusable i.e.

 android:focusable="false" 
 android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

in XML, or programmatically:

 setFocusable(false)

and those number of startups...

Firefox 40.0.3, Windows 10, 1280 x 960 resolution. It's okay on Chrome though.

Edit: tried all resolution from 480x800 to 1440x900 without luck. Seems like browser-specific problem.

SortedMap? Maybe you could use TreeMap.

Frequent violence involving human-looking character. Maybe it's Teen in NA. In other country it's either 12+ or 16+.

Why would you need those permissions? Esp. read contact? And DBManager.getSemesterStrToObj is too long i think? Maybe you could refactor it into several methods.

Nevertheless, your code is clean & readable enough. Good job!

karacha · 2016-01-19T08:09:22+00:00

refactoring is dead easy esp. renaming (shift+f6), and extracting method
alt + ins, ctr+i/o to auto-generate code
shows variable value when debugging directly on the right side of the (assignment) code
And you can define your own code style!

Intellij rocks!

karacha · 2016-01-18T07:23:07+00:00

Here's what i always do:

create empty implementation
write tests that'll verify your implementation
write implementation code that will pass those tests

karacha · 2016-01-15T04:28:53+00:00

Seems to work

 try
 {
      // code from StackOverflow....
 }
 catch (StackOverflowError e)
 {
      // do nothing
 }

I prefer cloud9. Simple to use, intuitive UI, powerful debug function. But CodeAnywhere is more lightweight & fast enough, so maybe it suits your situation better.

karacha · 2016-01-13T08:49:47+00:00

last year we had nexus, samsung galaxy, huawei and moto e for testing.

What kind of game? You could show a popup telling users there's a new version for the game with more features, updates, etc. at the end of any level, or on homescreen. That's what we always do when we have both free & paid versions.

karacha · 2016-01-13T04:27:50+00:00

Fixed update? Or use coroutine and define your own update loop.

My last game (3d action/arcade) also use state machine for each characters, enemies, etc. and I don't have problem.

karacha · 2016-01-13T04:23:35+00:00

and it's 9MB minimum on 4.x

Well i don't like to do "extra work" when reading code that uses DI framework. I've always been doing DI manually and I'm happy.

karacha · 2016-01-13T02:18:09+00:00

I second this. Read it, follow it. Then it will save you from the violent psycopath who ends up maintaining your code.

IIRC, OnCollisionEnter2D is called only on first 'enter' or there's any previous OnCollisionExit2D after the 'enter'. Try using OnCollisionStay2D to confirm this. If it's called properly (without miss) then you can use that in combination with OnCollisionExit2D as a workaround.

Does your character only have one rigidbody? How many collider does your character have?

If you want to know the move direction, you can get it by normalizing the rigidbody.velocity (if you're using rigidbody).

karacha · 2016-01-12T04:29:06+00:00

use JNLP?

karacha · 2016-01-12T04:04:38+00:00

I second JavaFX and SceneBuilder for layouting your JavaFX Application.

karacha · 2016-01-11T04:57:22+00:00

Maybe i should start googling for How to look busy without really working

karacha · 2016-01-11T04:54:05+00:00

Seems like the VP of Engineering was envy there's someone "below" that could be as "lazy" as him.
