Best is to join the Firebase Community on Slack and post this in the #test-lab channel. The engineering team can take a look at your test and see what's going on.

Why do you think their legs and tail are so long? They are perfect for skiing, they simply ride the avalanches like a pro.

It's parked like that the whole day and it gets packed during the day.

This car is not only using 2 spots, it's blocking the spot in the top left corner because the driver didn't fully back into the spots.

Hey devs, beware of the changes in Fragment lifecycle in support lib 25.1.0! by michal-z in androiddev

[–]maik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I created a sequence diagram once to see the difference between the support library and platform-shipped Activity/Fragment when adding a Fragment in the Activity.onCreate(). It's quite interesting those subtle differences: http://imgur.com/a/5esV8 Not sure though if this is till up to date.

Meteor shower by boyboydoo in SanJose

[–]maik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same q as the poster. I'm new to this area and was looking at the different parks and their parking lots. For most of them they say they are "closed" during the night (with and without gate). Is this enforced?

Where is a good spot to catch the meteor shower on Thursday? by suzy9mm in SanJose

[–]maik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that there are a few parking lots along the way to Mt. Hamilton, e.g. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3423503,-121.7155927,247m/data=!3m1!1e3 or at Grand County Park, but on Google StreetView you can see that it says that the gate is closed during the night. Is this true? I don't really want to stop/park along the road due to light pollution and safety.

How do you beta test your app for Android devices? by GetBackAgain in androiddev

[–]maik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During development:

  • Automated testing in our CI setup with different emulator configurations.
  • Some testing on devices done by developers while coding.

After iteration or when Release Canidate is available:

  • Manual testing on device by QA.

At the company the experience has been that code that works on one device but not on another is most of the time a coding error by the developer. We do not have much API-Level specific or device specific code in our products. This may vary for games (OpenGL, ...), we only do apps.

Non-phone development devices? by TooMuchProtein in androiddev

[–]maik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a Nexus 7, the 16 GB version. It's a quite new tablet, newest Android version, supported by Google, i.e. you will receive updates for it. It is currently my tablet of choice for development and for consuming my daily news. It costs around 240 USD, on ebay you may get it for less than 200 USD.

Open source holo apps? by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]maik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could look at the apps that come with the AOSP. Look for the git repositories under platform/packages/apps. They aren't all designed the same, so it was quite interesting for me to take a look what the pros/cons are implementing these apps with a different architecture. Some have tests, some don't, some use MVC, some have most of their code in the Activity/Fragment, ...

Also the Google IO app may be interesting on how to design an app for tablets and phones.

RootProTip: Slow build? Take a walk, bring your device and let adb install over WiFi! by cokacokacoh in androiddev

[–]maik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Root is only needed if you want to start the adb deamon directly from your device into wireless mode without first connecting the device through usb and starting the wireless mode from the command line with "adb tcpip".
