dominicthomas / Android_play_video_intent

Created October 2, 2015 09:21

Used to play a video file from the file system.

	private void playVideo(final File file) {
	Uri intentUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
	file.setReadable(true, false); // security?
	Intent intent = new Intent();
	intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
	intent.setDataAndType(intentUri, "video/*");
	startActivity(intent);
	}

dominicthomas / Android_increment_versionCode

Created September 30, 2015 09:43

Simple way of incrementing the app versionCode when a particular task is run. Useful to increment versionCode when doing a production release build.

	// Increment version code when running a production release
	def versionPropsFile = file('version.properties')
	if (versionPropsFile.canRead()) {
	def Properties versionProps = new Properties()
	versionProps.load(new FileInputStream(versionPropsFile))
	def value = 0
	def runTasks = gradle.startParameter.taskNames
	if ('assembleProductionRelease' in runTasks) {
	value = 1;
	}

dominicthomas / imageview_pager_adapter_currentview

Created August 10, 2015 15:57

An example of a viewpager adapter that supports getting a reference to the current view. This is required as the viewpager only keeps 3 items in memory so trying to get the item using the current item index does not work.

	/**
	* Pager adapter to display a feed item image in a square image view
	*/
	public class MultipleFeedPostItemAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

	private final Context mContext;
	private List<FeedItem> mFeedPosts = new ArrayList<>();
	private ImageView mCurrentView;

	public MultipleFeedPostItemAdapter(final Context pContext, final List<FeedItem> pFeedPosts) {

dominicthomas / Android Touch Area Extender

Last active November 1, 2016 07:28

A lovely android view touch area extender builder class. Made to provide a larger touch area to views that aren't standard clickable android view widgets. Works well on things like a small bit of text or a little drop down arrow. The code here is from a project that uses retrolamda and google's guava library for preconditions and optionals.

	import android.graphics.Rect;
	import android.view.TouchDelegate;
	import android.view.View;

	import com.google.common.base.Optional;
	import com.google.common.base.Preconditions;

	/**
	* Utility used to extend the touchable area around a view in a viewgroup
	* Usage: TouchAreaExtender.Builder.with(mReJamCaptionInput)
