Android programmatically checkable widgets, differentiate between user clicks & programmatic setChecked calls. Based on this answer on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14307643/570930. There are times when setting a switch to ON results in some action (Save to DB/ perform an HTTP POST etc). However, you want this action to happen only o…

curioustechizen / ReceiverRegistrar.java

Last active June 11, 2020 18:15

Tiny utility class that helps avoid book-keeping code when dealing with registering and unregistering BroadcastReceivers. Hopefully, this will help you get rid of "Activity has leaked IntentReceiver that was originally registered here" messages without resorting to using boolean flags to keep track of your BroadcastReceivers.

	package com.github.curioustechizen.safereg;

	import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
	import android.content.Context;
	import android.content.Intent;
	import android.content.IntentFilter;
	import android.support.v4.util.ArrayMap;

curioustechizen / NsdReflectionUtils.java

Created April 26, 2013 08:37

Using reflection to try and get the DnsSdTxtRecord object from NdsServiceInfo while using [android.net.nsd](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/nsd/NsdManager.html) for performing mDNS discovery. This sample uses [fest-reflect](https://github.com/alexruiz/fest-reflect) for reflection.

	import static org.fest.reflect.core.Reflection.*;
	import android.net.nsd.NsdServiceInfo;

	public class ReflectionUtils {
	public static int extractTxtRecordFromServiceInfo(NsdServiceInfo serviceInfo) {
	Class<?> dnsSdTxtRecordType = type("android.net.nsd.DnsSdTxtRecord")
	.load();
	Object txtRecord =
	method("getTxtRecord")
	.withReturnType(dnsSdTxtRecordType)

curioustechizen / AsyncTaskUtils.java

Created March 11, 2013 06:57

Snippet demonstrating how to ensure AsyncTasks are always executed in parallel (the default pre-HC behavior)

	import android.annotation.TargetApi;
	import android.os.AsyncTask;
	import android.os.Build;

	public class AsyncTaskUtils {

	@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
	public static <P> void executeAsyncTaskInParallel(
	AsyncTask<P, ?, ?> asyncTask, P... params) {
	if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {

curioustechizen / LocalBroadcastReceiver.java

Adding ordered broadcast capability to LocalBroadcastManager from Android support library.
