Posted in english | 1 comment
Context ctx = getContext(); Display display = ((WindowManager)ctx.getSystemService(ctx.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); int width = display.getWidth(); int height = display.getHeight(); Yes, there are easier ways to retrieve the screen width on Android but there are cases that this long code is the only solution.

Posted in english | No comments
Iterating over a HashMap using the enhanced loop (foreach) in Java is a good way to keep your code smaller, more legible and usually more semantically coherent. import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; class Foo {} public class Main { public static void main(String args[]){ Map<Byte, Foo> mHash; mHash = new HashMap<Byte, Foo>(); [...]

Today I was programming a toString method for a class widely used in a application, using the very useful String.format that provides a C’s like printf formatter. @Override public String toString() { return String.format("VO[a: %.1f, b: %.1f, c: %.1f]", a, b, a+b); } %.1f means a float with one digit precision after the dot separator.
