Detecting an incoming call coming to an android device. Using GreenDao with Android Studio IDE. In this tutorial we will show you step by step how we have created sample application that presents our own Android Studio-GreenDao communication module.
We tried to focus mainly on the implementation of database in freshly created Android Studio project and took other factors (such as layouts, modularity etc.) with a grain of salt. For those who haven't checked our Git yet - you can find our GreenDao module here. Using Google GSON : Extra Goodies : Part II. We continue with Using GSON from last article, also in case you missed the first article in series here is link.
So, here we go with another installment in series. If you want to maintain multiple versions of an object for JSON conversion, Google GSON library has nice @Since annotation for it. This annotation can be applied to fields and classes. For example, suppose you are maintaining the multiple versions of the your REST API and you are using JSON as end response payload. In next iteration of your API you are added some of fields for particular JSON entity and you don’t want to send the newly added fields to previous API version then @Since annotation comes into picture.
To make use of this annotation, you must configure the Gson instance to specific version using GsonBuilder, of course. Output of above as If you are not specifying any version it will include the all the fields regardless of its version. Following listing shows the usage – Using Google GSON : Extra Goodies : Part I. This is follow-up article to previous Getting Started with Google GSON where it shows the introductory material on using the Google Gson.
This article shows some extra goodies of GSON library. As there are lot of things to write about these extra goodies, so i splitted long article into 2 article series, So, this part one of it and in coming next article, i will be posting rest of remaining stuff. The beauty in using GSON library is that, it does not require any annotations or configurations for simple conversions. Although it makes use of default configurations to keep things simple. GSON has flexibility in creating the Json from Java object and vice-versa. When you print the json output string created using Gson then you will see output in one line, something like following. Getting Started with Google GSON. In Java world, JSON is becoming de facto standard for data exchange format over XML because of its ease of use and efficiency in terms of transferring it.
If you don’t know about JSON, it is Javascript object notation, a text based data exchange format which is collection of name-value where name is strictly of string type and value can be int, boolean, array or another json object. Dependency Injection with Dagger 2 (Devoxx 2014) Dependency Injection with Dagger 2 (Devoxx 2014) Dagger ‡ A fast dependency injector for Android and Java. The best classes in any application are the ones that do stuff: the BarcodeDecoder, the KoopaPhysicsEngine, and the AudioStreamer.
These classes have dependencies; perhaps a BarcodeCameraFinder, DefaultPhysicsEngine, and an HttpStreamer. To contrast, the worst classes in any application are the ones that take up space without doing much at all: the BarcodeDecoderFactory, the CameraServiceLoader, and the MutableContextWrapper. These classes are the clumsy duct tape that wires the interesting stuff together. Dagger is a replacement for these FactoryFactory classes that implements the dependency injection design pattern without the burden of writing the boilerplate. It allows you to focus on the interesting classes.
By building on standard javax.inject annotations (JSR 330), each class is easy to test. Using ViewPagerIndicator library with Android Studio and Gradle.
