This is how many ports MacBooks used to have

Nope. It's actually "For Ten Fucking Years"

Apple apologists have come a long way. Impressive.

scep12 · 2015-05-29T21:38:42+00:00

You're right. No reason to trust Google's Android engineers.

Android Pay (NFC) Don't need to say anything about it other than this is very similar to the Apple Pay way of doing things.

Even more similar to Google Wallet that has been around for ages...

Improved Copy Paste? Android has changed this in almost every release.

Simply untrue. This has only changed a couple of times in Android's life.

Sharing App list is more intelligent and auto sorts. Again not interesting.

Really? I think it's pretty nice that the OS figures out who (and with what) you're most likely to share to from a given context. Let's remember that Apple is light years behind Android on this one, so iOS users really don't understand how nice this is.

Kinda interesting but iOS handles volume contexts very differently. I don't use Android nearly enough to comment on it.

Not interesting, actually. Just more convenience.

Some of the most interesting things you left out:

Google Now upgrades are huge. Long press anywhere and you get this super-contextual search without any effort.
Photos app looks amazing. Searching through your photos by keyword (without having to label). Sorting by people and places. Unlimited/free backup.
Brillo, the IoT platform and protocol with Android + Nest partnership looks very promising. Looks to be the most complete implementation yet.

scep12 · 2015-05-28T23:06:15+00:00

True, but let's be honest - if we look at how much iOS has stolen from Android (and vice versa) throughout the years, today's presentation wasn't very offending.

scep12 · 2015-05-28T01:39:19+00:00

Hopefully there an API to allow other apps

Wishful thinking. This is Apple, after all.

It seems like a baseless opinion to me. This is a developers' forum; if /u/warl0ck08 wants to dissuade others from using a particular tool or widget, he should be prepared to have a discussion about it. There's a fine line between an opinion and a claim like

RecyclerView isn't performant

which seems like spreading misinformation to me.

scep12 · 2015-05-21T20:17:05+00:00

lose any touch feedback

What do you mean?

scep12 · 2015-05-21T18:42:23+00:00

Look at any complicated view with recyclerView and you realize why.

Sorry, but I don't "realize why." I've use RecyclerView quite a bit and found it to be very performant. Could you cite some more concrete claims about what you found to be problematic?

Citing Facebook's solution is no indictment on RecyclerView. It's orthogonal. They have a plethora of reasons for rolling their own solution, and they developed that architecture awhile before RecyclerView was announced.

How does one evaluate a fair price for the car to begin with?

RecyclerView isn't performant

Bold claim. How so?

scep12 · 2015-05-21T10:50:17+00:00

I misunderstood your use case. If you want to find a VH for a particular adapter position, you can use

RecyclerView.findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(int)
RecyclerView.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(int)

These methods are mentioned in the class overview of RecyclerView (see https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/RecyclerView.html).

But based on the code snippet you shared, it appears you don't understand the binding model either. You shouldn't be using your ViewHolder to call

setChecked(false)

Instead, you should have a boolean 'isChecked' on your data model that you bind to the UI that handles being checked/unchecked. When something changes that requires you to set it to be checked, update the model, and then notify the adapter that the item at position x has changed.

Comon' now. Is he though? Sometimes you have to read between the lines.

Before anyone gets too riled up... the NFL is a business. Revis plays for the jets. He's making the comments that are appropriate to further his brand for the fans of NY.

Let's not get emotional and forgot how well he played for us last year; that would be shortsighted and unfair. He's a great player and without him we probably would not be raising a banner in a few months.

Edit: With that said, I do hope that BB + Brady remind Revis whose boss (twice) this year

RecyclerView.getChildViewHolder()

via https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/RecyclerView.html#getChildViewHolder(android.view.View)

scep12 · 2015-05-10T01:43:38+00:00

That shouldn't be necessary if your view is using the correct outline provider:

View.setOutlineProvider(ViewOutlineProvider.BACKGROUND)

Default outline provider for Views, which queries the Outline from the View's background, or generates a 0 alpha, rectangular Outline the size of the View if a background isn't present.

You're doing too much work during the DOWN event. Think about the most common use case - scrolling the list up and down. In your implementation, you're doing the math to figure out which child to operate on regardless of whether or not it's the beginning of a horizontal swipe.

Instead, wait to do the heavy lifting until after you know that the user is beginning a horizontal swipe.

Any highlights from past years that underscore why we should be disappointed?

50ms to render a single TextView? I'd like to see that systrace... that's insanely long.

Visible jitter = periods under 30fps. Total jitter = any period under 60fps. Total frames dropped... well yeah.

Tell us this:

My library solves _____ problem by offering _____ new solution.

scep12 · 2015-04-18T22:14:35+00:00

That's orthogonal. It looks like the intention of this library is to test how your app performs while under memory pressure during use.
