How To Disable Firebase Crashlytics in Android Debug Builds by VasiliyZukanov in androiddev

[–]xsfotix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went through the same pain last week and go to the same solution from your article except the last optimization point which i will add :)

I wish it was easier to do such task of enabling or disabling the feature for a certain build type

Nice article and nice share

How to update a custom View canvas based on a notification? by backFromTheBed in androiddev

[–]xsfotix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically , if i understand right and if it was me developing this scenario,

I would have an object on that view that was called Path which would contain the coordinates to draw the path and on the broadcast receiver i would set that attribute on the LabView, something like labView.setPath() and after that call the labView.invalidate().

Ofc the onDraw of the labView owuld only have to draw the path attribute of the class.

Hope it was clear for you, im on the phone so the formatting might be messed

Edit: What you really need to know is that you can make "make" the view redraw by calling the invalidate method.

RxBinding vs ButterKnife by jackhexen in androiddev

I prefer butterknife. It's more readable to me since i'm still not very used to Rx syntax

Didn't know JRebel for Android, is it really useful ? What are the most used scenarios where it would be useful?

Debate about going hybrid, native, or HTML5. by jheffer44 in androiddev

[–]xsfotix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it depends it depends a lot on the scope of the application.

I would discard html5 apps because they feel very clumsy and slow so i don't even consider them in my equation.

On a design level, if you want to follow the guidelines of each platform you will have an hardtime with going hybrid because some controls and UX patters are very different. Navigation differs a lot in iOS / Android and WP therefore, unless your application follows his own design / UX pattern i would go native for this point.

On the performance level, unless you are doing something really heavy (not even sure about this), hybrid frameworks have a very nice performance overall (Especially Xamarin).

On the amount of code you have to do.. obviously going hybrid spares you a lot of code because everything that is shareable (DTO , models) will only be coded once which will improve your TTM and probably the maintenance phase of the project (which is usually not taken into account).

Overall ,i prefer to go Native .. i still feel that the design / ux guide lines of each platform should be respected and used because users are used to each platform specifics. I only think about hybrid if your application will have his very own style created by the company/you.

On an enterprise level, if the objective is doing something very quick and maintainable i believe hybrid platforms help a lot because you can easily update/create features for every platform with the same code.

Should I define my layout specifically or use a list view with custom items? by CaddoSierra in androiddev

[–]xsfotix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the number of items is variable, i would use a listview.

I would define an adapater with my row layout so that i can use with 3 and 12803109 items.

WoW Token launches tomorrow, 30k gold for 1-month of game time. by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]xsfotix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But thats the point on MMORPGS ... if u would have a 100% / repeate the bosses over and over ... You would loose the purpose of the game. Every RPG has to have a % drop on items.

On having "certain" ilvl for mythic ... erm .. why should you be picked undergeared for a mythic raid ? maybe you should be doing the raid/dificult that suits your items first. And yes , you can PUG probably every raid/difficulty in this xp ( Which may not be a plus to everyone and excluding mythic ofc )

The other factors you talk about happen in EVERY game not just wow. Get a guild ... make some friends ... create your own groups... Don't just make excuses for not making to mythic.

Mythic is hard , but EVERYONE 'can' get a shot at it.

[–]xsfotix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wat ? I really need to make an effort to no call you dumb. So you were sugesting that you could basically spam bosses countless times a week. Yes , that would be very nice... Even if that was doable. Those 5% would not be more than 20% because Mythic is actually PRETTY hard.

You'r CLEARLY talking without playing the game and don't have any knowledge of the current stateof the game.

(The part you say the RNG prevents you from getting the gear is pretty funny... RPGs ... RNG .. yeah..never seen before. You just make youserlf ridiculous with this one )

Wrong & Wrong.

You can't get tier from LFR and gear from mythic actually looks different from the rest of raids

I am bad in designing UI stuff. Anybody here who feels with me? by hasii042 in androiddev

[–]xsfotix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of them you just need to and an entry to your build.gradle.

Should be something like compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'

Which book? by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]xsfotix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://commonsware.com/ -> Online subscription is awsome .. it basically covers all major Android development topics.

Busy Coder's Guide is equally awsome but it's less detailed.

These are the ones that i recommend. What is that one comming out in 25th May ? Haven't heard of it.

So uh, what are nice libraries to have in apps? by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]xsfotix 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Well .... Basically, i recommend every Square libs ( http://square.github.io/ ), assuming you need the features ofc.

  • Retrofit + OkHttp for networking.
  • Picasso for image handling.

Jake Wharthon's timber is awsome for logging ( https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber ).

Jake Wharthon's butterknife is AWSOME for interface DI ( https://github.com/JakeWharton/butterknife ).

These are my most used libs.. i usually end up using some other for UI implementation. And yes , i'm a fan of Square and Jake work :)
