* Use Admin page for repo, then

$ git remote rm origin
$ git remote -v  # should be no output
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:username/newreponame.git
$ git remote -v  # to verify new origin
$ git status  # verify everything looks good

Then, rename your local directory containing your repo

An interesting approach I found (didn't invent) for determine the width of some text in an HTML document:

1) Wrap your text in a table td element:
<table><tr>
  <td id="test">Some text you want to measure in pixels</td>
</tr></table>

2) Define CSS rules to reset all default/inherited table styles for the table in (1), so there is no extra padding, margin, border, etc that would affect the pixel calculation.

3) Using Javascript, get the DOM element for td element above and get it's offsetWidth property. This will be the width of the text in pixels (unaffected by font characteristics).

An alternative to the traditional Google-recommended ViewHolder pattern. This implementation you don't have to create a ViewHolder class per view:

https://github.com/BoD/jraf-android-util/blob/master/src/org/jraf/android/util/ui/ViewHolder.java

"Example usage, in your adapter:

TextView name = ViewHolder.get(convertView, R.id.name);

(As you can see you can even skip the cast because of the generics trick.)"
