I used to be a big fan of the design software Fireworks formerly from Macromedia, and later Adobe after Macromedia got aquired.
An always upto date list of codenames for the Android Messages app.
I want to note down how I created a simple ReactJS app in two nights time, from scratch to deploying on the cloud.
One of the most requested enhancements for the Random Contact App is for a way to filter contacts
with the custom contact picker that is used in it. Since it seemed like a good reusable component, I added the module
named MultiContactPicker along with the rearchitecture of my Andorid library project lib-aeApps.
Lets see how to add a filter for a RecyclerView in an Android app.
I migrated an Android app to AndroidX with the help of the Refactor option from Android Studio. After all the references in the java files were updated,
I ran into the below error when I tried running my app.
android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2 in <>: Error inflating class androidx.constraintlayout.ConstraintLayout
Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2 in <>: Error inflating class androidx.constraintlayout.ConstraintLayout
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: androidx.constraintlayout.ConstraintLayout
After a bit of head scratching and internet search, I was able to fix it by simply changing the declaration in the layout XML file.
androidx.constraintlayout.ConstraintLayout to androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
I was expecting atleasst the IDE to throw an error, but had to find and fix it the hard way.
For no reason, I was reminded of a simple code snippet to swap (interchange) two numbers that I had discovered in my early programming days.
I may have used it once or twice in my 10 years of being a professional software developer.
Swapping two numbers is a common use case when working with some algorithms and the like.
