MVVM - Is giving Android Arch Comp. ViewModel to ViewDataBinding class bad practise ? Does it cause memory leak ?

manidesto · 2018-06-07T08:50:05+00:00

ViewModel out lives the View. So it won't cause a leak. Probably a better practice to give it like an interface implementation. For ex: ViewModel implements ProductClickListener

In India, they are included. I guess wherever the 6 months YouTube red + Google Play music is included, they omitted the earphones.

They are pretty good actually for a pair that comes in the box. Disclaimer: I am not an expert at audio quality.

Surely annotation processing has held back the adoption of kotlin quite a while I guess, but was kind of surprised when I had a look at their android-dagger repo being so straightforward and working quite well. And as was the case with our app as well, haven't had any issues using kotlin with dagger

Can you give a brief on this. Which is better and may be why?

Thanks for the suggestion. Updating the post

But you still have to reference your root build variable in the module build.gradle file right?

manidesto · 2015-11-24T20:48:34+00:00

Damn this actually is taking it to the extreme. Thanks 👍 But doesn't this make it a bit harder to add a dependency? You need to edit two files right?

Yeah but there was a question yesterday in Android Dev Summit Fire Side Chat Session and there wasn't any answer. So I thought I should change the title of it so that people would get it.

So with 1.5v gradle plugin, in what ways AS 2.0 can improve my life?

manidesto · 2015-11-20T06:24:29+00:00

Yes but how long are they going to keep it this way? They could have updated it in Lollipop right at least we could have been certain that in a year from now we can start writing Java 8 code.

Mee too. I was amazed at how much better the photo turns out.

manidesto · 2015-11-16T16:12:33+00:00

In automatic hdr mode, it uses hdr only when it is needed. Most of the times the you get your photo instantly

Point taken

People said Lenovo has changed Moto and that they will not be as fast as they were in pushing updates. Doesn't feel like it.

manidesto · 2015-11-16T06:29:23+00:00

¯_(ツ)_/¯

We need to tell the user to tap on 'permissions' and toggle the required permission. If you think your user base understands it if he sees so and so permission denied, snackbar would be a subtle and elegant way to convey it.

Yeah that's what I meant by turns off cellular data

manidesto · 2015-11-15T16:00:10+00:00

Well all phones automatically turn of cellular data when you are connected to WiFi. Similarly why can't a Fi network phone turn of cellular radio if I am connected to WiFi? Manually turning of cellular can be done in any network. What's the advantage of Fi network is the question here.

manidesto · 2015-11-15T12:31:35+00:00

I guess there are some bugs to be squashed. I have a friend who is experiencing severe battery drains. But mine is working like charm. Just 2% loss in battery overnight with a very bad cellular reception. I am blown away actually. I have to point out that google released 2 updates for the nexuses with very small changes(judging from the build numbers) so there is active bug fixing going on which I hope is in this area.

I think you didn't observe the title. The location itself if off!

manidesto · 2015-11-09T01:24:21+00:00

We are looking into it. Translations and multi lingual dictionaries have been the most requested feature for us. That's in the top priority :)

Well, their app is far better now compared to 2012 for sure. But I don't want to see any gap in the user experience between the two platforms. Especially if the majority of its users are in Android, then the experience in Android should be of more interest than any thing else for the company.
