  • XAML Binding to complex value objects

    - by Gus
    I have a complex value object class that has 1) a number or read-only properties; 2) a private constructor; and 3) a number of static singleton instance properties [so the properties of a ComplexValueObject never change and an individual value is instantiated once in the application's lifecycle]. public class ComplexValueClass { /* A number of read only properties */ private readonly string _propertyOne; public string PropertyOne { get { return _propertyOne; } } private readonly string _propertyTwo; public string PropertyTwo { get { return _propertyTwo; } } /* a private constructor */ private ComplexValueClass(string propertyOne, string propertyTwo) { _propertyOne = propertyOne; _propertyTwo = PropertyTwo; } /* a number of singleton instances */ private static ComplexValueClass _complexValueObjectOne; public static ComplexValueClass ComplexValueObjectOne { get { if (_complexValueObjectOne == null) { _complexValueObjectOne = new ComplexValueClass("string one", "string two"); } return _complexValueObjectOne; } } private static ComplexValueClass _complexValueObjectTwo; public static ComplexValueClass ComplexValueObjectTwo { get { if (_complexValueObjectTwo == null) { _complexValueObjectTwo = new ComplexValueClass("string three", "string four"); } return _complexValueObjectTwo; } } } I have a data context class that looks something like this: public class DataContextClass : INotifyPropertyChanged { private ComplexValueClass _complexValueClass; public ComplexValueClass ComplexValueObject { get { return _complexValueClass; } set { _complexValueClass = value; PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("ComplexValueObject")); } } } I would like to write a XAML binding statement to a property on my complex value object that updates the UI whenever the entire complex value object changes. What is the best and/or most concise way of doing this? I have something like: <Object Value="{Binding ComplexValueObject.PropertyOne}" /> but the UI does not update when ComplexValueObject as a whole changes.

  • NAudio playback wont stop successfully

    - by Kurru
    Hi When using NAudio to playback an mp3 [in the console], I cant figure out how to stop the playback. When I call waveout.Stop() the code just stops running and waveout.Dispose() never gets called. Is it something to do with the function callback? I dont know how to fix that if it is. static string MP3 = @"song.mp3"; static WaveOut waveout; static WaveStream playback; static void Main(string[] args) { waveout = new WaveOut(WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback()); playback = OpenMp3Stream(MP3); waveout.Init(playback); waveout.Play(); Console.WriteLine("Started"); Thread.Sleep(2 * 1000); Console.WriteLine("Ending"); if (waveout.PlaybackState != PlaybackState.Stopped) waveout.Stop(); Console.WriteLine("Stopped"); waveout.Dispose(); Console.WriteLine("1st dispose"); playback.Dispose(); Console.WriteLine("2nd dispose"); } private static WaveChannel32 OpenMp3Stream(string fileName) { WaveChannel32 inputStream; WaveStream mp3Reader = new Mp3FileReader(fileName); WaveStream pcmStream = WaveFormatConversionStream.CreatePcmStream(mp3Reader); WaveStream blockAlignedStream = new BlockAlignReductionStream(pcmStream); inputStream = new WaveChannel32(blockAlignedStream); return inputStream; }

  • Tricky compiler behavior

    - by Neeraj
    Simple java code snippet. It has three classes. After compiling the code please delete A.class and then execute the code. Code still runs, why its not checking whether the byte code of A exists or not? class A { static { System.out.println("In the class A"); } public A() { } } class B { private A a = null; static { System.out.println("In the class B"); } public B() { a = new A(); } } public class ExampleLinkage { static { System.out.println("In the class A"); } public ExampleLinkage(String str) { } public static void main(String args[]) { try { System.out.println("In the main method of ExampleLinkage"); Class.forName("com.bt.rtti.B"); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }

  • How "duplicated" Java code is optimized by the JVM JIT compiler?

    - by Renan Vinícius Mozone
    I'm in charge of maintaining a JSP based application, running on IBM WebSphere 6.1 (IBM J9 JVM). All JSP pages have a static include reference and in this include file there is some static Java methods declared. They are included in all JSP pages to offer an "easy access" to those utility static methods. I know that this is a very bad way to work, and I'm working to change this. But, just for curiosity, and to support my effort in changing this, I'm wondering how these "duplicated" static methods are optimized by the JVM JIT compiler. They are optimized separately even having the exact same signature? Does the JVM JIT compiler "sees" that these methods are all identical an provides an "unified" JIT'ed code?

  • Must-do activities for a team leader, and time managing them

    - by MeLight
    This is a two part question Part one: I'm leading a small team of developers of mixed skills (juniors and seniors). I'm sometimes feeling that I focus too much on my own code, instead of seeing the big the picture, and managing the team. What would you say the most crucial non-coding activities for a team leader, related to his team members? Part two:Given that I know what other (non-coding stuff) I should be doing, what is a good time division between my own code writing and managing the other team members (code reviews, whiteboarding, meetings etc).

  • How can I properly implement inetcpl.cpl as an external dll?

    - by Kyt
    I have the following 2 sets of code, both of which produce the same results: using System.Linq; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace ResetIE { class Program { [DllImport("InetCpl.cpl", SetLastError=true, CharSet=CharSet.Unicode, EntryPoint="ClearMyTracksByProcessW")] public static extern long ClearMyTracksByProcess(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr hinst, ref TargetHistory lpszCmdLine, FormWindowState nCmdShow); static void Main(string[] args) { TargetHistory th = TargetHistory.CLEAR_TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES; ClearMyTracksByProcessW(Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle, Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(typeof(Program).Module), ref th, FormWindowState.Maximized); Console.WriteLine("Done."); } } and ... static class NativeMethods { [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] public static extern IntPtr LoadLibrary(string dllToLoad); [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] public static extern IntPtr GetProcAddress(IntPtr hModule, string procedureName); [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] public static extern bool FreeLibrary(IntPtr hModule); } public class CallExternalDLL { [UnmanagedFunctionPointer(CallingConvention.Cdecl)] public delegate long ClearMyTracksByProcessW(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr hinst, ref TargetHistory lpszCmdLine, FormWindowState nCmdShow); public static void Clear_IE_Cache() { IntPtr pDll = NativeMethods.LoadLibrary(@"C:\Windows\System32\inetcpl.cpl"); if (pDll == IntPtr.Zero) { Console.WriteLine("An Error has Occurred."); } IntPtr pAddressOfFunctionToCall = NativeMethods.GetProcAddress(pDll, "ClearMyTracksByProcessW"); if (pAddressOfFunctionToCall == IntPtr.Zero) { Console.WriteLine("Function Not Found."); } ClearMyTracksByProcessW cmtbp = (ClearMyTracksByProcessW)Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer(pAddressOfFunctionToCall, typeof(ClearMyTracksByProcessW)); TargetHistory q = TargetHistory.CLEAR_TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES; long result = cmtbp(Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle, Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(typeof(ClearMyTracksByProcessW).Module), ref q, FormWindowState.Normal); } } both use the following Enum: public enum TargetHistory { CLEAR_ALL = 0xFF, CLEAR_ALL_WITH_ADDONS = 0x10FF, CLEAR_HISTORY = 0x1, CLEAR_COOKIES = 0x2, CLEAR_TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES = 0x8, CLEAR_FORM_DATA = 0x10, CLEAR_PASSWORDS = 0x20 } Both methods of doing this compile and run just fine, offering no errors, but both churn endlessly never returning from their work. The PInvoke code was ported from the following VB, which was fairly difficult to track down: Option Explicit Private Enum TargetHistory CLEAR_ALL = &HFF& CLEAR_ALL_WITH_ADDONS = &H10FF& CLEAR_HISTORY = &H1& CLEAR_COOKIES = &H2& CLEAR_TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES = &H8& CLEAR_FORM_DATA = &H10& CLEAR_PASSWORDS = &H20& End Enum Private Declare Function ClearMyTracksByProcessW Lib "InetCpl.cpl" _ (ByVal hwnd As OLE_HANDLE, _ ByVal hinst As OLE_HANDLE, _ ByRef lpszCmdLine As Byte, _ ByVal nCmdShow As VbAppWinStyle) As Long Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim b() As Byte Dim o As OptionButton For Each o In Option1 If o.Value Then b = o.Tag ClearMyTracksByProcessW Me.hwnd, App.hInstance, b(0), vbNormalFocus Exit For End If Next End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Command1.Caption = "??" Option1(0).Caption = "?????????????" Option1(0).Tag = CStr(CLEAR_TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES) Option1(1).Caption = "Cookie" Option1(1).Tag = CStr(CLEAR_COOKIES) Option1(2).Caption = "??" Option1(2).Tag = CStr(CLEAR_HISTORY) Option1(3).Caption = "???? ???" Option1(3).Tag = CStr(CLEAR_HISTORY) Option1(4).Caption = "?????" Option1(4).Tag = CStr(CLEAR_PASSWORDS) Option1(5).Caption = "?????" Option1(5).Tag = CStr(CLEAR_ALL) Option1(2).Value = True End Sub The question is simply what am I doing wrong? I need to clear the internet cache, and would prefer to use this method as I know it does what I want it to when it works (rundll32 inetcpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8 works fine). I've tried running both as normal user and admin to no avail. This project is written using C# in VS2012 and compiled against .NET3.5 (must remain at 3.5 due to client restrictions)

  • alternatedocroot

    - by ring bearer
    Using Sun Glassfish Enterprise server v2.1.1 I am using "alternatedocroot" via sun-web.xml for my web application to abstract out static content from actual deploy-able code (EAR/WAR) What I have is a cluster of two server instances distributed across two physical hosts - HOST1 and HOST2. "alternatedocroot" points to /data/static-content/ on both HOST1 and HOST2. Would DAS (Domain application server )take care of syncing /data/static-content between HOST1 and HOST2 if I use syncinstances=true option while starting up the cluster? Thanks!

  • Java Logger with Servlets

    - by Sunny
    Hi Guys, I am using a wrapper class A which initializes the java.util.logger static class A { public static Logger logger; public static void init(){ logger = Logger.getLogger("test"); } Now, everywhere in my program I call A.init() and then logger.log("Message+uniqid"). But recently I moved to HTTP servlets and I am having problems. Basically, If a app is already running and the logger is logging... and someone else runs the app again, the logger from the previous instance stops and starts logging for the second one. Can anyone have a solution to how I should go about fixing this static variable issue? I can pass the logger into all constructor classes but thats really tedious. Any better solution would be appreciated..

  • Whoosh: PASS Board Year 1, Q4

    - by Denise McInerney
    "Whoosh". That's the sound the last quarter of 2012 made as it rushed by. My first year on the PASS Board is complete, and the last three months of it were probably the busiest. PASS Summit 2012 Much of October was devoted to preparing for Summit. Every Board  member, HQ staffer and dozens of volunteers were busy in the run-up to our flagship event. It takes a lot of work to put on the Summit. The community meetings,  first-timers program, keynotes, sessions and that fabulous Community Appreciation party are the result of many hours of preparation. Virtual Chapters at the Summit With a lot of help from Karla Landrum, Michelle Nalliah, Lana Montgomery and others at HQ the VCs had a good presence at Summit. We started the week with a VC leaders meeting. I shared some information about the activities and growth during the first part of the year.   From January - September 2012: The number of VCs increased from 14 to 20 VC membership  grew from 55,200 to 80,100 Total attendance at VC meetings increased from 1,480 to 2,198 Been part of PASS Global Growth with language-based VC- including Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese. We also heard from some VC leaders and volunteers. Ryan Adams (Performance VC) shared his tips for successful marketing of VC events. Amy Lewis (Business Intelligence VC) described how the BI chapter has expanded to support PASS' global growth by finding volunteers to organize events at times that are convenient for people in Europe and Australia. Felipe Ferreira (Portuguese language VC) described the experience of building a user group first in Brazil, then expanding to work with Portuguese-speaking data professionals around the world. Virtual Chapter leaders and volunteers were in evidence throughout Summit, beginning with the Welcome Reception. For the past several years VCs have had an organized presence at this event, signing up new members and advertising their meetings. Many VC leaders also spent time at the Community Zone. This new addition to the Summit proved to be a vibrant spot were new members and volunteers could network with others and find out how to start a chapter or host a SQL Saturday. Women In Technology 2012 was the 10th WIT Luncheon to be held at Summit. I was honored to be asked to be on the panel to discuss the topic "Where Have We Been and Where are We Going?" The PASS community has come a long way in our understanding of issues facing women in tech and our support of women in the organization. It was great to hear from panelists Stefanie Higgins and Kevin Kline who were there at the beginning as well as Kendra Little and Jen Stirrup who are part of the progress being made by women in our community today. Bylaw Changes The Board spent a good deal of time in 2012 discussing how to move our global growth initiatives forward. An important component of this is a proposed change to how the Board is elected with some seats representing geographic regions. At the end of December we voted on these proposed bylaw changes which have been published for review. The member review and feedback is open until February 8. I encourage all members to review these changes and send any feedback to [email protected]  In addition to reading the bylaws, I recommend reading Bill Graziano's blog post on the subject. Business Analytics Conference At Summit we announced a new event: the PASS Business Analytics Conference. The inaugural event will be April 10-12, 2013 in Chicago. The world of data is changing rapidly. More and more businesses want to extract value and insight from their data. Data professionals who provide these insights or enable others to do so are in demand. The BA Conference offers expert content on predictive analytics, data exploration and visualization, content delivery strategies and more. By holding this new event PASS is participating in important discussions happening in our industry, offering our members more educational value and reaching out to data professionals who are not currently part of our organization. New Year, New Portfolio In addition to my work with the Virtual Chapters I am also now responsible for the 24 Hours of PASS portfolio. Since the first 24HOP of 2013 is scheduled for January 30 we started the transition of the portfolio work from Rob Farley to me right after Summit. Work immediately started to secure speakers for the January event. We have also been evaluating webinar platforms that can be used for 24HOP as well as the Virtual Chapters. Next Up 24 Hours of PASS: Business Analytics Edition will be held on January 30. I'll be there and will moderate one or two sessions. The 24HOP topics are a sneak peek into the type of content that will be offered at the Business Analytics Conference. I hope to see some of you there. The Virtual Chapters have hit the ground running in 2013; many of them have events scheduled. The Application Development VC is getting restarted  and a new Business Analytics VC will be starting soon. Check out the lineup and join the VCs that interest you. And watch the Events page and Connector for announcements of upcoming meetings. At the end of January I will be attending a Board meeting in Seattle, and February 23 I will be at SQL Saturday #177 in Silicon Valley.

  • Getting bank account information from a bank and displaying on a website [closed]

    - by Ali Syed
    Hello I am looking for a way to get bank account information (transactions and balance) from a financial institution and display it on a website. The question is vague intentionally.... Everything is open. I haven't chosen a bank, serverside technology or front end technology. The idea is to have a script run automatically periodically (once or twice a day) and get the latest account information from the bank server automatically. Probably something in the direction of OFX (Open financial exchange), HBCI (home banking c.. interface), fnts or something like it. Even working over a closed source API is not out of question: Wesabe or Mint or something. Paypal is not an option because it won't work in India or Pakistan. cheers *Explanation: I have an exclusive small club. My members make irregular payments. These transactions should be online for all MEMBERS (with login) to see *

The font is just standard Arial, so it isn't a case of the font missing the bullet character. Does anyone have any idea as to why Flex is not showing the bullet point characters?

    Hi I got a DLL(without the sourcecode) which exports like this: ?ReceiveCoreDataPtr@@YAXPAX@Z ?xenoAddRigidBodyAngularImpulse@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoAddRigidBodyForce@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoAddRigidBodyForce@@YAXHMMMMMM@Z ?xenoAddRigidBodyLinearImpulse@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoAddRigidBodyPointImpulse@@YAXHMMMMMM@Z ?xenoAddRigidBodyTorque@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoCharacterControllerCrouch@@YAXH@Z ?xenoCharacterControllerJump@@YAXH@Z ?xenoCharacterDisable@@YAXH@Z ?xenoCharacterEnable@@YAXH@Z ?xenoDeleteRigidBody@@YAXH@Z ?xenoEnd@@YAXXZ ?xenoGetCameraFOV@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCameraPointX@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCameraPointY@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCameraPointZ@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCameraPositionX@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCameraPositionY@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCameraPositionZ@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCharacterControllerHeadPosition@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCharacterControllerPositionX@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCharacterControllerPositionY@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCharacterControllerPositionZ@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetCharacterControllerRotation@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyAllowedPenetrationDepth@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyAngularDamping@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyAngularVelocityX@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyAngularVelocityY@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyAngularVelocityZ@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyFriction@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyGravityFactor@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyLinearDamping@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyLinearVelocityX@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyLinearVelocityY@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyLinearVelocityZ@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyMass@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyMaxAngularVelocity@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyMaxLinearVelocity@@YAKH@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyPointVelocityX@@YAKHMMM@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyPointVelocityY@@YAKHMMM@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyPointVelocityZ@@YAKHMMM@Z ?xenoGetRigidBodyRestitution@@YAKH@Z ?xenoIsRigidBodyALadder@@YAHH@Z ?xenoMakeCamera@@YAXHH@Z ?xenoMakeCharacterController@@YAXHMM@Z ?xenoMakeCharacterController@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoMakeCharacterController@@YAXHMMMM@Z ?xenoMakeCharacterController@@YAXHMMMMM@Z ?xenoMakeCharacterController@@YAXHMMMMMM@Z ?xenoMakeCharacterController@@YAXHMMMMMMM@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyDynamicBox@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyDynamicBox@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyDynamicCapsule@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyDynamicCapsule@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyDynamicCylinder@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyDynamicCylinder@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyDynamicSphere@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyDynamicSphere@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyStaticBox@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyStaticCapsule@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyStaticCylinder@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyStaticSphere@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeRigidBodyStaticTriangleMesh@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMakeVehicle@@YAXHH@Z ?xenoMoveCharacterControllerBackward@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMoveCharacterControllerForward@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMoveCharacterControllerLeft@@YAXH@Z ?xenoMoveCharacterControllerRight@@YAXH@Z ?xenoSetCharacterControllerPosition@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoSetCharacterControllerRotation@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetGravity@@YAXM@Z ?xenoSetGravity@@YAXMMM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyAllowedPenetrationDepth@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyAngularDamping@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyAngularVelocity@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyAsLadder@@YAXHH@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyFriction@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyGravityFactor@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyLinearDamping@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyLinearVelocity@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyMass@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyMaxAngularVelocity@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyMaxLinearVelocity@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyPosition@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyRestitution@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoSetRigidBodyRotation@@YAXHMMM@Z ?xenoSetTimeStep@@YAXM@Z ?xenoStart@@YAXH@Z ?xenoStart@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoStart@@YAXHMH@Z ?xenoStart@@YAXXZ ?xenoUpdate@@YAXXZ ?xenoVehicleAccelerate@@YAXHM@Z ?xenoVehicleHandbrake@@YAXH@Z ?xenoVehicleReverse@@YAXH@Z ?xenoVehicleTurn@@YAXHM@Z When I try to use it in another C++ App like this #include <windows.h> class XenoPhysics { private: typedef void (*FunctionFunc)(void); typedef void (*FunctionFuncFloat)(float); typedef void (*FunctionFuncInt)(int); typedef void (*FunctionIntFloatFloatFloat)(int,float,float,float); HMODULE libInstance; public: void LoadLib() { this->libInstance = LoadLibrary(L"F:\\xenophysics.dll"); } void UnloadLib() { FreeLibrary(libInstance); } void xStart() { FunctionFunc curFunc; curFunc = (FunctionFunc)GetProcAddress(this->libInstance, "?xenoStart@@YAXXZ"); curFunc(); } void xEnd() { FunctionFunc curFunc;

curFunc(objid, x, y, z); } void xSetGravity(float grav) { FunctionFuncFloat curFunc; curFunc = (FunctionFuncFloat)GetProcAddress(libInstance, "xenoSetGravity"); curFunc(grav); } }; This is the "wrapper"(or whatever you would call it) class.. To call the functions I'm doing XenoPhysics * d = new XenoPhysics(); d->LoadLib(); d->xStart(); It then throws the following error at me(Note that it passes the LoadLib() without any errors) Unhandled exception at 0x50261bc9 in Xeno Test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000064. And yes; I've checked that the "curFunc" gets the address, not just a NULL pointer(atleast I think I've checked that).. Anyone who can help out? Edit: Forgot the C#.Net code, how stupid of me :3 Here is the C++ CLR DLL "wrapper" I tried to make: #include <windows.h> // The following ifdef block is the standard way of creating macros which make exporting // from a DLL simpler.

  • Data won't save to SQL database, getting error "close() was never explicitly called on database"

    - by SnowLeppard
    I have a save button in the activity where the user enters data which does this: String subjectName = etName.getText().toString(); String subjectColour = etColour.getText().toString(); SQLDatabase entrySubject = new SQLDatabase(AddSubject.this); entrySubject.open(); entrySubject.createSubjectEntry(subjectName, subjectColour); entrySubject.close(); Which refers to this SQL database class: package com.***.schooltimetable; import android.content.ContentValues; import android.content.Context; import android.database.Cursor; import android.database.SQLException; import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase; import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper; public class SQLDatabase { public static final String KEY_SUBJECTS_ROWID = "_id"; public static final String KEY_SUBJECTNAME = "name"; public static final String KEY_COLOUR = "colour"; private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "Database"; private static final String DATABASE_TABLE_SUBJECTS = "tSubjects"; private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1; private DbHelper ourHelper; private final Context ourContext; private SQLiteDatabase ourDatabase; private static class DbHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper { public DbHelper(Context context) { super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION); // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub } @Override public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DATABASE_TABLE_SUBJECTS + " (" + KEY_SUBJECTS_ROWID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + KEY_SUBJECTNAME + " TEXT NOT NULL, " + KEY_COLOUR + " TEXT NOT NULL);"); } @Override public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + DATABASE_TABLE_SUBJECTS); onCreate(db); } } public SQLDatabase(Context c) { ourContext = c; } public SQLDatabase open() throws SQLException { ourHelper = new DbHelper(ourContext); ourDatabase = ourHelper.getWritableDatabase(); return this; } public void close() { ourHelper.close(); } public long createSubjectEntry(String subjectName, String subjectColour) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub ContentValues cv = new ContentValues(); cv.put(KEY_SUBJECTNAME, subjectName); cv.put(KEY_COLOUR, subjectColour); return ourDatabase.insert(DATABASE_TABLE_SUBJECTS, null, cv); } public String[][] getSubjects() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub String[] Columns = new String[] { KEY_SUBJECTNAME, KEY_COLOUR }; Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE_SUBJECTS, Columns, null, null, null, null, null); String[][] Result = new String[1][]; // int iRow = c.getColumnIndex(KEY_LESSONS_ROWID); int iName = c.getColumnIndex(KEY_SUBJECTNAME); int iColour = c.getColumnIndex(KEY_COLOUR); for (c.moveToFirst(); !c.isAfterLast(); c.moveToNext()) { Result[0][c.getPosition()] = c.getString(iName); Result[1][c.getPosition()] = c.getString(iColour); Settings.subjectCount = c.getPosition(); TimetableEntry.subjectCount = c.getPosition(); } return Result; } This class has other variables and other variations of the same methods for multiple tables in the database, i've cut out the irrelevant ones. I'm not sure what I need to close and where, I've got the entrySubject.close() in my activity. I used the methods for the database from the NewBoston tutorials. Can anyone see what I've done wrong, or where my problem is? Thanks.

  • Cowboy Agile?

    - by Robert May
    In a previous post, I outlined the rules of Scrum.  This post details one of those rules. I’ve often heard similar phrases around Scrum that clue me in to someone who doesn’t understand Scrum.  The phrases go something like this: “We don’t do Agile because the idea of letting people just do whatever they want is wrong.  We believe in a more structured approach.” (i.e. Work is Prison, and I’m the Warden!) “I love Agile.  Agile lets us do whatever we want!” (Cowboy Agile?) “We’re Agile, but we use a process that I’ve created.” (Cowboy Agile?) All of those phrases have one thing in common:  The assumption that Agile, and I mean Scrum, lets you do whatever you want.  This is simply not true. Executing Scrum properly requires more dedication, rigor, and diligence than happens in most traditional development methods. Scrum and Waterfall Compared Since Scrum and Waterfall are two of the most commonly used methodologies, a little bit of contrasting and comparing is in order. Waterfall Scrum A project manager defines all tasks and then manages the tasks that team members are working on. The team members define the tasks and estimates of the stories for the current iteration.  Any team member may work on any task in the iteration. Usually only a few milestones that need to be met, the milestones are measured in months, and these milestones are expected to be missed.  Little work is ever done to improve estimates and poor estimators can hide behind high estimates. Stories must be delivered every iteration, milestones are measured in hours, and the team is expected to figure out why their estimates were wrong, even when they were under.  Repeated misses can get the entire team fired. Partially completed work is normal. Partially completed work doesn’t count. Nobody knows the task you’re working on. Everyone knows what you’re working on, whether or not you’re making progress and how much longer you think its going to take, in hours. Little requirement to show working code.  Prototypes are ok. Working code must be shown each iteration.  No smoke and mirrors allowed.  Testing is done in lengthy cycles at the end of development.  Developers aren’t held accountable. Testing is part of the team.  If the testers don’t accept the story as complete, the team can’t count it.  Complete means that the story’s functionality works as designed.  The team can’t have any open defects on the story. Velocity is rarely truly measured and difficult to evaluate. Velocity is integral to the process and can be seen at a glance and everyone in the company knows what it is. A business analyst writes requirements.  Designers mock up screens.  Developers hide behind “I did it just like the spec doc told me to and made the screen exactly like the picture” Developers are expected to collaborate in real time.  If a design is bad or lacks needed details, the developers are required to get it right in the iteration, because all software must be functional.  Designers and Business Analysts are part of the team and must do their work in iterations slightly ahead of the developers. Upper Management is often surprised.  “You told me things were going well two months ago!” Management receives updates at the end of every iteration showing them exactly what the team did and how that compares to what' is remaining in the backlog.  Managers know every iteration what their money is buying. Status meetings are rare or don’t occur.  Email is a primary form of communication. Teams coordinate every single day with each other and use other high bandwidth communication channels to make sure they’re making progress.  Email is used only as a last resort.  Instead, team members stand up, walk to each other, and talk, face to face.  If that’s not possible, they pick up the phone. IF someone asks what happened, its at the end of a lengthy development cycle measured in months, and nobody really knows why it happened. Someone asks what happened every iteration.  The team talks about what happened, and then adapts to make sure that what happened either never happens again or happens every time.   That’s probably enough for now.  As you can see, a lot is required of Scrum teams! One of the key differences in Scrum is that the burden for many activities is shifted to a group of people who share responsibility, instead of a single person having responsibility.  This is a very good thing, since small groups usually come up with better and more insightful work than single individuals.  This shift also results in better velocity.  Team members can take vacations and the rest of the team simply picks up the slack.  With Waterfall, if a key team member takes a vacation, delays can ensue. Scrum requires much more out of every team member and as a result, Scrum teams outperform non-Scrum teams working 60 hour weeks. Recommended Reading Everyone considering Scrum should read Mike Cohn’s excellent book, User Stories Applied. Technorati Tags: Agile,Scrum,Waterfall

  • Naming convention when casually referring to methods in Java

    - by polygenelubricants
    Is there a Java convention to refer to methods, static and otherwise, any specific one or the whole overload, etc? e.g. String.valueOf - referring to all overloads of static valueOf String.valueOf(char) - specific overload, formal parameter name omittable? String.split - looks like a static method, but actually an instance method Maybe aString.split is the convention? String#split - I've seen this HTML anchor form too, which I guess is javadoc-influenced Is there an authoritative recommendation on how to clearly refer to these things?
