#Androidiots #Podcast 18 : Custom Lint

Lints are 1 of the easiest ways to maintain some code sanity for an #AndroidDev

In this episode @hitanshudhawan from @urbancompany_UC guides us how lints works in #android and write one of your own.

@androiddevnotes @urbancompany_UC Thanks for the consideration.

We chat with a @Tushar13091993 a fellow #AndroidGeek at @urbancompany_UC who deep dives into what goes behind running the plugins we all use and what it takes to create one of our own.

Have a listen.

#Jetbrains

[androidiots @androidiots]

And #AndroIdiots are back.
With a focus on #DevProductivity as a theme for the next few #podcastepisodes and new cohost @stop_drake

First up we have something we #AndroidDev's often use, sometimes abuse but never understood.

Its #AndroidStudio #Plugins.

#KotlinBytes 21 : #Kotlin has support for Position-based destructing declarations syntax for lambda parameters

Just use {} that include all the parameters that we want to de-structure into

But is it secure for Property Renaming or Property Reordering ??

#AndroidDev #KotlinTips

[androidiots @androidiots]

Each Java method that takes a SAM, the #Kotlin compiler generates a version that instead takes a function as an argument
Compiler generates SAM constructors and function methods only for Java SAMs. It does not generate SAM constructors for Kotlin interfaces with a single method.

[androidiots @androidiots]

#KotlinBytes 20 :
Higher-order functions are bread and butter of #Kotlin.

But what about Interoperability with #Java, which doesn’t supports it natively.

Hence It achieves substitution by using #interfaces with only one method called a Single Abstract Method (SAM).
#AndroidDev

[androidiots @androidiots]

SAMs are often used as a replacement for function definitions
#Kotlin generates a SAM constructor with the function type as a parameter
Which allows us to create an instance of a #Java SAM interface just by calling its name and passing either #Anonymousfunctions or a #Lambda

[androidiots @androidiots]

The invoke method is an operator function, and it can be used in the same way as function invocation

println(idiotVar.invoke(1)) //print 11

But what happens when we are keeping function in a nullable variable??

#AndroidDev #Kotlin #Android

[androidiots @androidiots]

#KotlinBytes 19 :
We can define function as an object in #kotlin by using anonymous functions
Eg:
val idiotVar: (Int) -> Int = fun(i: Int) = i * 11
println(idiotVar(1)) //prints 11

If we see the byte code of function type we find
there is only the invoke method inside it

[androidiots @androidiots]

#KotlinBytes 18 :

“try” is an #expression in #Kotlin unlike #java,

the last expression of the executed block is the assigned value to the variable used

Keep that in mind next time you do #ExceptionHandling

#Androiditos #AndroidDev #Android

[androidiots @androidiots]

#KotlinBytes 17:
"When" was a really powerful “switch” in #kotlin from #java

It is not limited to only check values for equality
It can also be used as
1. #Expression
2. check #variable type
3. check #range

#Android #AndroidDev #Developer

[androidiots @androidiots]

Generics has always been a confusing yet very powerful topic in #java or #android add IN and OUT classes of #kotlin it becomes a TLDR
Give a read to simple yet elegant article by @tpolansk

If your company requires you to work nights and weekends, your company is broken. This is a managerial problem, not your problem. This is a process problem, not a personal problem. This is an ownership problem, not an individual problem.
