there is needs a conservative candidate but not a comedian like donald trump in the style of Craig Kilborn of the Daily Show
did he confuse 16 vCPU with 16GB memory? Or he confused 6cores with 8cores? =)
That end scene of Old School where Craig kilborn drives off a bridge should be reenacted with Chris Evans in the new top gear.
Remember the Craig Kilborn Late Night? He'd always tell people "Proud of you." Made me laugh every time.
Hey, 2x6 with HT makes this possible. But not all whatâs possible is desireable. ;)
would be hilarious if there's not much CPU activity going on the vCores.
and now I wonder what would happen when trying to set cpu affinity
Can you hear the scheduler crying out for mercy? :)
And we know all about that metric now... I don't suppose there were also a bunch of 8-way VMs on the same host?

Need a workout to clear my head before reading crazy email response to my email :)
Craig Kilborn should come back and host the Late Late Show on CBS.
with that argument you should be instantly awarded VCDX title!
Ex. "Number of hosts used = 42". Design justification: Cus that is the one and only answer!
Close, putting together an email now. Will send it over to you for a sanity check :)

most of the time. Always a few know it alls who love to argue.
There is a word - NO - doesn't get used. And simple education / conversation would be enough.

Tnx. Will try get on. Should be about.
Great. I will attend if I can. Is it Wed ?
well I will talk about that on this weeks actually ;)
Caused by lack of internal chargeback IMO. Because VMs are "free" :-)

Finally saw the movie. Yep, the movie. You know the one that Craig Kilborn used the clips for his countdowns and skits. The movies is called "The Story of Riki Oh" Over the top cheesy effects and kung fu. I had a ball looking at it and for me it ended a quest on finding the name of the movie. Get your mindless fun on and give it a go.

Jon Stewart, Craig Ferguson, Larry Wilmore, Craig Kilborn, and Conan O'Brien all born in same 18 mo period, with Colbert just one yr later
"I can't imagine the late late show without Craig's monologues."- something I'm sure I said when Craig Kilborn was done.
The last time I got this psyched for Late Night was when Jon Stewart replaced Craig Kilborn. Larry Wiltmore is the perfect person to replace Colbert.
Btw thanks for this, helped me get it working.
I remember some threads on our forums of people using it, it should work. We don't have specific statement about it.
thank Rick, nothing specific called out for Storage Server.
A repository role is - not sure about the console. Did you check the User Guide? ^RV
should be supported because 2012 (R2) is supported. But maybe is Storage Server little bit different.

which one :D Trying to explain that aaa-server LDAP is not the same as aaa-server radius
amazing. Am sure you will get through and get the invite.
The common denominator is Craig Kilborn, Mr. Guy Code, the original Daily Show Host who left and the show became awesome, and the same thing happened to the Late-Late show. We salute you Craig Kilborn, the Buck Showalter of Television. Leaves just before the show becomes iconic.
So, who will be the new host of The Colbert Report? The obvious joke is Jay Leno, which is why I'm putting my money on Craig Kilborn instead.
sometimes, when I speak of lounge singers, which I often do, people say to me, "you mean like Bill Murray on SNL?", and I say, "no, I mean in real life." Lately, I've been trying to find the clip on the Daily Show early on, when BM comes on and sings lyrics to Bob Mould's music. I think it went something like" "I wanna watch it, it's the Daily Sho-ow", etc. But I can't find it! This was back when it was Craig Kilborn as host. I'm looking and looking, and nothing yet. I swear it happened1
Who decided that Seth Myers was funny? The same guy who thought Craig Kilborn was funny probably.
Fun list for the afternoon...agree with any of them? (wisebrother.com) 9 Shows that got BETTER when someone left: 1. Lisa Bonet, "A Different World". The show was originally a spin-off of "The Cosby Show" featuring Lisa's character going off to college. 2. Paul Schneider, "Parks and Recreation". When he left after Season Two, the show brought on both Rob Lowe and Adam Scott. 3. Craig Kilborn, "The Daily Show". It's hard to believe there was ever a host other than Jon Stewart, but Kilborn had it from 1996 to 1999. 4. Shelley Long, "Cheers". It was Shelley's choice to leave the show, and it turned out to be a bad choice for HER. But replacing her with Kirstie Alley and ending the Sam-and-Diane romance angle probably saved the show creatively. 5. George Clooney, "ER". Clooney was the breakout star, but his departure in 1999 didn't kill the show. In fact, "ER" survived a million other cast shakeups before it ended, without ever really losing what made it great. 6. Mischa Barton, "The O.C." The ...
Eleven years ago this month, Ray and Robby make their comeback official with a whirlwind television tour, playing The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and Last Call with Carson Daly. They play live versions of Light My Fire (Leno), Break On Through (Kilborn - 1st airing), Love Me Two Times (Kilborn - 2nd airing), and Roadhouse Blues (Daly). This would be the kickoff of ten plus years of touring together.
This is a video which was originally uploaded to the internet back in 2007. It's Joe Mantegna playing Kylie Minogue on Yambo. I believe this episode was aired in 2002. Yambo was a trivia game played by guests of The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.
Whenever I get a place of my own again I need to get a hold of a copy of The X Files PS1 game and play it again. It's a really good point and click style game. You don't play as Mulder or Scully though you play as a new agent who looks like Craig Kilborn, the lead singer from Queens of the Stone Age. Mulder and Scully are totally in it but you just don't play as them. Awesome game though, the story reminds me of the Philadelphia experiment sort of, except not at all.
I've been looking for the right analogy: Craig Kilborn is the Chuck Woolery of the Daily Show. Not the best but always the first.

Is there any original programming on Hulu that isn't completely, irredeemably, cringe-inducingly terrible? As soon as Netflix or Amazon Prime strikes a deal to get weekly updates on currently-airing shows, Hulu is over, and deservedly so. It's buggy on every device I've tried it on, it's got about 10 minutes of commercials per episode and its original shows are seriously terrible. On a related note, I can't wait until Seth Meyers flops on Late Night and goes the way of Craig Kilborn. When did we start accepting cheap imitations instead of real Jews in our comedy? I'm starting a movement called Keep Komedy Kosher. It's KKK time, America! Ok, admittedly, the name needs work. But seriously, if there's a Hulu original that you think might change my mind, give me a recommendation!

Remember the good old days of Keith Olbermann, Rich Eisen and Craig Kilborn?

Do you remember when this article was written? âCo-anchors Jay Onrait, 37, and OâToole, 36, have become national celebrities in Canada, akin to the star status afforded SportsCenter stars Keith Olbermann and Craig Kilborn in the U.S. in the 1990s. YouTube clips of the pairâs...
That movie is a gold mine. Milo Ventimiglia, Scott Baio, Portia de Rossi, Mya. I think Craig Kilborn's in it, too.
Aaah...I loved ESPN back then. You three, plus Craig Kilborn, Dan Patrick, Keith Olbermann. It was LOL fun!

The true rise of the artist formerly known as Jon Stuart Leibowitz came not during his roommate role in Adam Sandlerâs Big Daddy or taking over for Craig Kilborn on The Daily Show in the late 90s. Instead it was a 2004 appearance on the soon-to-be-doomed CNN Crossfire with Paul Begala and Tucker Car...

Article Summary
We've previously seen – or should that be "not seen" – invisibility cloaks in the laboratory that are able to render two-dimensional objects invisible to microwaves. Such feats relies on the use of metamaterials – man-made materials that exhibit optical properties not found in nature and have the ability to guide light around an object. Now researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) claim to have brought invisibility cloaks that operate at visible light frequencies one step closer by cloaking a three-dimensional object standing in free space with the use of plasmonic metamaterials.

giant spider by YaraKlaproosWatch
©2010-2016 YaraKlaproos
giant spider!
Love the use of the spiderwebs to show off the model's beautiful hair. The colours here really pop, mostly because of the dark background, which shows off the webs too. The royal blue dress works well with her skin and hair tones.
I wonder if this you floating in the clouds? Have you deleted any pictures since March 19th 2013? Not sure where that line comes from. Did you have a picture blowing a seashell? I might have taken that from Little Nemo and not your pictures. Your pictures reminded me a lot of Little Nemo,
She is Dream She Is a Dream
She is a dream
out of fog she arrives
She sleeps forever
in fields of flowers
She is a dream I can't wake up from
She floats in the clouds
She swims in a sea of make-believe green
She floats on the river of loneliness
She glides through my thoughts
She is a dream I don't want to wake up from
She walks through ancient halls
She dangles her legs from castle walls
She has eyes on the back of her head
She wears the hat of the mirror walker
She is a dream I wish not to wake up from
She surrounds herself in web of green
She Braids my soul in her hair
She captures me with her eyes
Escape she says if you dare
But she is a dream I could not wake up from
She listens to music I can not hear
inside paintings in the alleyways
Soon she will blow the seashell
that calls forth the morning
But She is a dream I must not wake up from
She is the dream I refuse to wake up from
I will stay with her in the dream
amazing picture, you should have more favourites.. and you look stunning!
wow! how did you do the spiderweb?!
Amazing concept. I really envy ;>
The Only The Disturbs Me Is The Blue Cloth On The Left Side..
Totally Amazing!
your hair is lovely
wow i like this shot.

This is such a clever concept - wonderful result too!

this is soo cool! how did you do that?
[ Just Love it ^_^ , keep it up ]
lovely ladyyy
But sweet!
great work
Amazing concept!
Question: How long did it take to get that stuff out of her hair?
Very original piece by the way. Visually very interesting. Well done!

Extremely Fast, Free Melee/range Exp (Osrs)
Posted 09 December 2013 - 09:59 PM
I) Requirements
II) Setup
III) How it works
I) Requirements
This is pretty straightforward and only requires one quest, Spirits of the Elid. The skill requirements are:
- 33 Magic
- 37 Ranged
- 37 Mining
- 37 Thieving
and the quest gives 8k prayer experience upon completion along with access to the Nardah altar, which is our goal.
II) Setup
Again, this guide is designed for pures. For you mains and berserker pures, the goal is to keep your defensive bonuses at a minimum with your offensive bonuses at a maximum (whether this means sacrificing your torso and berserker/nezzy helms is up for debate)
For pures, this is a good setup to melee. The team cape can be replaced by a firecape, but the right click option is nice to have.
http://img542.images...2/6682/u3kh.jpg [Image blocked; please upload it at an approved host.]
This is an ideal range setup:
http://img199.images...9/6933/6v5g.jpg [Image blocked; please upload it at an approved host.]
In both cases, a special attack weapon is a good idea to boost your exp/hr. Potions are optional, as you will be having your most powerful prayers on the entire time you train.
III) How it works
The nardah altar is special, it doesn't just restore your prayer. It restores your HP to maximum + 10% for praying at it. Another special thing about praying to regain HP is that it doesn't interrupt combat like eating food does, so with the right amount of focus you can be getting the maximum number of hits per hour not waiting for monsters to spawn or losing hits from eating food.
On my pure with 50 attack ~55 strength, using normal attack and strength potions and a brine sabre, I was raking in about 55k str exp an hour. Similarly, my friends both trained here from 60-70 ranged using no potions and just eagle eye/iron knives and were enjoying about 40k exp an hour as opposed to rock crabs' 25k exp an hour.
Start attacking each other, keep an eye on your hp, and reap in the exp.
http://img707.images...07/543/iuo5.jpg [Image blocked; please upload it at an approved host.]
Again, bringing a special attack weapon will boost your exp/hr.

A very nice build. Call me dirty-minded, but the sphere launcher between his legs looks a little... Out of place on a Bionicle.
Reminds me of Krekka from the second movie Probably because of the eye. Awesome creation anyway m8!

Tnx, a lot of people says he is like Nitroblast or Krekka. XD
You're welcome. I can kinda see Krekka to, for that long head/neck. That makes sense to me.

Surfer Nat Young ended his first article for Tracks, excoriating the established Church, with a reckless sentence that echoes through the exhibition Arcadia: 'By simply surfing we are supporting the revolution.'
Young's rallying cry – still seeming, somehow, as plausible as it's preposterous – allows considerable leeway in interpretation. Freedom of interpretation is fundamental to the exhibition Arcadia…
If it's about anything, Arcadia is about how it feels to be lean, male, strong, untrammelled and irresponsible: to be a slacker with immense discretionary energy. Almost all the people represented are handsome youths. Indeed, the exhibition is a tribute to the physical bravery, beauty and ebullience of many young men – which is unusual in a show that isn't about war (although it's true that conscription shadowed many of the individuals pictured, and many whole bodies like theirs ended up punctured and ripped up in Vietnam). Through photographs, film and text, their free-spirited, passive-revolutionary character shines.
Nicholas Harding's intricate recent drawings of the trees, rocks and water of the north coast of New South Wales are the surprise inclusion in this exhibition… encouraged by the resemblance of Nat Young's hair, in Falzon's photograph, to fibrous vegetation, the selection of Harding drawings emphasises the texture of the photographs and harmonises with their vigorous, yet gentle, sensibility.
Sarah Engledow
National Portrait Gallery
… it is the culture of surfing, particularly in the early 1970s when it was in its golden age as a way of life, that is celebrated in a particularly engaging exhibition at Canberra's National Portrait Gallery…
The show … is almost entirely based on the photographs of John Witzig, [co]-founder of surfing magazine Tracks, reproduced on a large scale and pinned to the walls in a deliberately casual manner. The pictures are full of spontaneous energy and life and accompanied by some of the best explanatory labels I can recall seeing in an exhibition — well-informed, intimately attuned to the images, erudite when appropriate, witty and above all warm and personal in tone.
There is a pervasive feeling of youthful happiness, innocence and joy, occasionally punctuated by pensiveness…
In [one] picture we watch two boys, again shirtless, picking their way across stepping stones in swampy terrain. Arms in the air, they reach out to keep their balance. So that the image evokes at once the lightness and vitality of their young bodies and somehow also the precariousness of our balance in this world.
Christopher Allen
The Weekend Australian
20 September 2014
A beautiful exhibition at the Geelong Art Gallery explores the marvellous moment when surfing took on cult status as a symbol of social alternatives. Called Arcadia: Sound of the sea, the collection of photographs and film put together by the National Portrait Gallery documents an idealistic lifestyle built around tall waves.
The boys had it all: a tranquil spirit, fabulous vigour, endless opportunity, cheap land and petrol, intellectual and physical talent and even commercial enterprise and savvy. Most of all, they had an image of integrity, a winsome and innocent belief that values could be redefined and society reoriented toward sustainability.

Still Winning: After 11 Gold Medals, Paralympian Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson Is Changing the Way Athletes Compete
Hughes, Ivy, Success
At age 7, Baroness Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson was required to use a wheelchair. At 15, she determined to win the London Marathon, and she did--six times. At 19, she found herself on the starting line of the Paralympic Gaines in Seoul, South Korea.
Grey-Thompson had won a total of nine gold medals at the Barcelona, Atlanta and Sydney Paralympic Games, but when she placed seventh in the 800-meter at the Athens games in 2004, her supporters and the British press were vociferous in their disappointment.
"I remember coming off the track and just thinking it was horrific," she says. "A lot of friends and family came out to watch, and my race was on live British TV. My team manager was really upset and didn't know what to say to me. My husband was there, and he didn't know what to say to me. He was very rude about my race, but actually he was right.
"For very few people there actually is an easy way, but the reality of life is that you have to slog your guts out and even then you may never get there."
Grey-Thompson is widely recognized as the United Kingdom's most successful Paralympian. She was born with spina bifida, a birth defect that prevents the sides of the spine from joining, which can cause partial or complete paralysis. While she was using a wheelchair, she was also an active child who loved sports and was completely naive to the idea that a wheelchair could prevent her from international athletic competition.
"My parents brought me and my sister up to believe that we could do whatever we wanted through hard work and determination," she says. "You might not get there the way you wanted. You might have to change your plan and you might have to do things differently, but they believed that if we worked hard, we could do an awful lot."
When Grey-Thompson was 15, she watched Paralympic Welsh athlete Chris Hallam win the 1985 London Marathon. After Hallam crossed the line, she turned to her mother and said, "I'm going to do the London Marathon one day."
Five years later, Grey-Thompson raced her first London Marathon. In 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001 and 2002, she won first place. She went on to compete in the Paralympic Games and now holds British records in every distance from 100 meters to 10,000 meters; she broke her own 400-meter world record in 2004. She was designated "Dame" Grey-Thompson in 2005 for her services to sport, and she is a member of the Laureus World Sports Academy.
Sports fans are extremely critical, but high-level athletes succeed because they have an ability to persevere when under tremendous physical and psychological pressure. After the 800-meter disappointment in Athens, Grey-Thompson had very little time that day to mentally prepare for her next race at the games.
"I've had a lot of other moments like that in my career, but this one was so public," she says. "I remember leaving the track and there being loads of British supporters there, and pretty much everyone that walked past me said, 'That was crap."'
On the warm-up track for the next 100-meter race, she got sick 12 times. Ten minutes before the start, she was shaking so badly she couldn't, move.
"There was actually a friend of mine on the team that said, 'One bad race does not make you a bad athlete. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get over it,'" Grey-Thompson recalls. "So it's being able--whether you win or lose--to step back from that and try to be objective, and that's not always easy."
Grey-Thompson was sick, terrified and disappointed, but by the time she approached the 100-meter starting line, she had shelved the 800-meter loss, the self-doubt and the psychological immobility. She went on to win gold in both the 100-meter and 400-meter race.
She credits her parents and coaches for helping her achieve monumental successes, but the nature of competition, which primarily focuses on winning and losing, provided a life perspective that helped Grey-Thompson when she retired from international competition in 2007, taking 11 gold Paralympic medals with her. …

Did you hear about the University of Wisconsin -- Eau Claire (UWEC) banning resident assistants (RAs) from leading Bible studies in their own dormitories? That's the subject of my latest e-mail blast from the ever-vigilant Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).
This outrageous, indefensible assault on Christian religious liberties provides a perfect opportunity for the church-state separation crusaders to prove they're really devoted to religious liberty, as they claim. Let's see if they protest.
An UWEC official sent RAs a letter forbidding them from leading Bible studies because students might conclude that such RAs were not "approachable." Don't laugh. Violators, warned the letter, would be subject to disciplinary action. Of course, the letter also purported to prohibit Koran and Torah studies, but it appears such studies were not even at issue.
"Wall of separation" advocates insist their primary goal is to prevent government from promoting religion. The "wall," they say, is what has been responsible for our nation's unparalleled religious liberty.
But the only wall of separation the Framers erected, via the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, was that prohibiting the federal government from establishing a national church or religion. Why? Because a compulsory, state-supported religion would stifle religious liberty, an evil the Framers' ancestors sailed the Atlantic to escape. The thrust of the Establishment Clause was to promote religious freedom.
Not content to stop there, the Framers also included the "Free Exercise" clause, which expressly forbade Congress from making any law prohibiting the free exercise of religion. Clearly, then, the focus of the first two clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution is religious liberty.
Church-state separation zealots have often selectively applied their wall of separation. They have consistently screamed bloody murder at any whiff of Christianity in the public square, especially when there is the remotest suggestion that government is merely countenancing Christianity (far from endorsing it). But they've sat idly by as the state has outright endorsed other religions or worldviews or their values.

Example usage of AppCompatActivity in Android
The latest release of android support library, 22.1, deprecates the
ActionBarActivity in favor of AppCompatActivity, which promises to bring a single consistent ActionBar for all devices starting with API Level 7 and above.
Also, the new update adds the ability to tint widgets automatically when using AppCompat, and adds support for consistent material design dialogs. Use
support.v7.app.AlertDialog (instead of
android.app.AlertDialog), to get nice looking material dialogs across multiple versions of devices.
1. In order to benefit from all these things, the first thing you should do is to update the support library to 22.1.0.
dependencies { // … compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.0' }
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { // ... }
AppCompat or any descendants of it.
<application android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat">
Following the steps above will setup the application with the default theme, but the actionbar can be styled further by specifying the material color palette:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat"> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item> </style>
and then update your application theme to use
<application android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
Introduction to Android Espresso
Espresso is a testing framework that exposes a simple API to perform UI testing of android apps. With the latest 2.0 release, Espresso is now part of the Android Support Repository which makes it more easier to add automated testing support for your project.
But before jumping into Espresso API, lets consider what puts it apart from the other testing frameworks.
- One of the first things you'll notice about Espresso, is that its code looks a lot like English, which makes it predictable and easy to learn.
- The API is relatively small, and yet open for customization.
- Espresso tests run optimally fast (no waits, sleeps)
- Gradle + Android Studio support
Adding Espresso to your project
1. First of all make sure you have Android Support Repository installed
2. Add the following dependencies to your application build.gradle file
dependencies { androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:testing-support-lib:0.1' androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.0' }
3. Finally, specify the test instrumentation runner in default config
android { defaultConfig { // .... testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } }
And that is basically what it takes "to invite your project to a cup of Espresso"!
The main components of Espresso
Espresso is built up from 3 major components.
These components are:
- ViewMatchers – allows you to locate a view in the current view hierarchy
- ViewActions – allows you to interact with views
- ViewAssertions – allows you to assert the state of a view.
For simplicity, you may use these shortcuts to refer to them:
- ViewMatchers – "find something"
- ViewActions – "do something"
- ViewAssertions – "check something"
And, for example when you will need to check something (like, is some text displayed on the screen?), you'll know you'll need a ViewAssertion for that.
Below is an example of a test in Espresso, and where the main components find their place.
A simple test using onView()
Suppose we have an app where the user is asked to enter his name.
After he enters the name, he taps on the "Next" button and is redirected to another activity where a greeting message is displayed.
If we would write a test for this scenario, then it might look something like this:
// locate the view with id "user_name" and type the text "John" onView(withId(R.id.user_name)).perform(typeText("John")); // locate the view with id "next" and click on it onView(withId(R.id.next)).perform(click()); // locate the view with id "greeting_message" and check its text is equal with "Hello John!" onView(withId(R.id.greeting_message)).check(matches(withText("Hello John!")));
Notice that we don't specify explicitly what kind of view we are interacting with (eg.: EditText, Button), we simply say that we are looking for a view with a specific id.
Also, when clicking on the "Next" button and later checking the text, we don't have to write some special code to tell Espresso that we have navigated to another activity.
Now, if we want to actually run this test, then it should be put in a class. In Gradle, the location where tests are stored is: yourApp/src/androidTest/java.
This is an example of a test class, and its main characteristics:
A simple test using onData()
Whenever you have a ListView, GridView, Spinner, and other Adapter based views, you'll have to use
onData() in order to interact with an item from that list.
onData() is targeting directly the data provided by your adapter. What does this mean, we will see in a moment.
In a hypothetical application we are asked to select a country from a
Spinner, once selected, the country is displayed next to the
A test to check that the displayed country is equal with what was selected, might look like this:
// locate the view with id "country_spinner" and click on it onView(withId(R.id.country_spinner)).perform(click()); // match an item that is a String and is equal with whatever value the COUNTRY constant is initialized, then click on it. onData(allOf(is(instanceOf(String.class)), is(COUNTRY))).perform(click()); // locate the view with id "selected_country" and check its text is equal with COUNTRY onView(withId(R.id.selected_country)).check(matches(withText("selected: " + COUNTRY)));
Spinner you saw in the example above is backed by a simple array of strings, and because of this, we specify that we are looking for an item of type
String. If, instead of a
String, it were some custom object, then we would specify that instead.
To illustrate, consider the following example where a list of books is displayed:
Since the items in the adapter are of type
Book, so will look the query:
onData(allOf(is(instanceOf(Book.class)), withBookTitle(BOOK_TITLE))).perform(click());
Espresso has a few useful methods that can be used to interact with data.
atPosition() – Might be useful when the element to interact with is not relevant, or when the items always appear in a specific order, so you know every item on what position sits.
inRoot() – Use
inRoot() to target non-default windows. One scenario where this can be used is when testing autocomplete. The list that appears in the autocomplete view belongs to a window that is drawn on top of application window.
In this case you have to specify that the data you are looking for, is not in the main window.
onView(withText("AutoCompleteText")) .inRoot(withDecorView(not(is(getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView())))) .check(matches(isDisplayed()));
onChildView() – This
DataInteraction allows to further refine the query by letting you interact with a specific view from a list row.
Let say that you have a list of items and every item has a delete button. You want to click on Delete button of a specific item:
onData(withBookTitle("My Book")) .onChildView(withId(R.id.book_delete)).perform(click());
inAdapterView() – This allows to select a particular adapter view to operate on, by default Espresso operates on any adapter view.
You may find this useful when dealing with
ViewPagers and
Fragments, and you want to interact with the
AdapterView that is currently displayed, or when you have more than one adapter view in your activity.
onData(withBookTitle("My Book")) .inAdapterView(allOf(isAssignableFrom(AdapterView.class), isDisplayed())) .perform(click());
Espresso and RecyclerView
RecyclerView is an UI component designed to render a collection of data just like
ListView and
GridView, actually, it is intended to be a replacement of these two. What interests us from a testing point of view, is that a
RecyclerView is no longer an
AdapterView. This means that you can not use
onData() to interact with list items.
Fortunately, there is a class called RecyclerViewActions that exposes a small API to operate on a
RecyclerView. RecyclerViewActions is part of a separate lib called espresso-contrib, that also should be added to build.gradle:
dependencies { // ... androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.0'); }
Since your project already includes a dependency to recyclerview, and might as well include support libs, some dependencies conflicts might appear. In this case exclude
them from espresso-contrib like this:
dependencies { // ... androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.0') { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat' exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4' exclude module: 'recyclerview-v7' } }
Here is how to click on an item from the list by position:
onView(withId(R.id.recyclerView)) .perform(RecyclerViewActions.actionOnItemAtPosition(0, click()));
Or how to perform a click on a View from an item:
onView(withId(R.id.recyclerView)) .perform(RecyclerViewActions.actionOnItem( hasDescendant(withText(BOOK_TITLE)), click()));

Introducing SectionedActionBarList
This Android library allows you to replace the drop down navigation list with a custom list where the items in the list are grouped by sections. It was inspired from the Google I/O 2014 app how sessions are grouped in the ActionBar list.
While the new Material Design movement discourages the use of ActionBar lists, in some situations it can be the best available option.
At the moment the library is not available on a repository, you have to include it as a source library in your project, but that will be fixed soon.
Github project page: https://github.com/vgrec/SectionedActionBarList
List <Section> sections = new ArrayList <Section>(); Section themes = new Section("Themes"); themes.add("Design"); themes.add("Develop"); themes.add("Distribute"); sections.add(themes); Section topics = new Section("Topics"); topics.add("Android"); topics.add("Chrome / Web"); topics.add("Cloud Services"); topics.add("Media"); topics.add("Location"); topics.add("Performance"); sections.add(topics); Section types = new Section("Types"); types.add("Sessions"); types.add("App Reviews"); types.add("Box Talks"); sections.add(topics); SectionedActionBarList actionBarList = new SectionedActionBarList(this).from(sections); actionBarList.setItemSelectedListener(new ItemSelectedListener() { @Override public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id, String sectionName, String itemName) { Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Section: " + sectionName + ", Item: " + itemName, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } });
SectionedActionBarList accepts a list of sections
List<Section> sections, and every
Section has a name and some associated items.
Small customizations can be done to fit with your application design:
ListConfiguration configuration = new ListConfiguration(this); configuration.setActionBarItemColorResource(R.color.brown); configuration.setIndicatorDrawableResource(R.drawable.spinner_indicator_dark); configuration.setSectionTitleColorResource(R.color.teal); configuration.setDropdownItemColorResources(R.color.light_blue, R.color.dark_grey); SectionedActionBarSpinner actionBarSpinner = new SectionedActionBarSpinner(this, configuration).from(sections); // ....
Thanks to Webucator, a provider of Android classes, for producing the below video illustrating the integration of the SectionedActionbarList.
Analysing Android code with SonarQube
SonarQube, formerly known as Sonar, is a platform to analyze code quality. Analysis covers such aspects as code duplications, potential bugs, coding rules, complexity, unit tests, comments, and architecture & design.
It supports supports more than 20 programming languages and has a reach set of useful plugins that gives you the opportunity to inspect different aspects of the code.
What is caracteristic about SonarQube is that it comes as a platform in the form of a web application. This means that the results of the analysis will be displayed in a web page.
Installing SonarQube
The installation is pretty straightforward, you have just to download an archive and extract it in a folder of your choice.
1. Go to http://www.sonarqube.org/downloads/ and download the latest release.
2. Unzip the archive
Starting SonarQube
1. Go to sonarqube-4.3/bin (or whatever version you downloaded)
2. Open a corresponding folder according to your operating system (linux-x86-64 in my case). There you should see a file called sonar.sh (or StartSonar.bat for Windows)
3. Open up a terminal window and execute: sonar.sh start (or just double click StartSonar.bat on windows). This command will start sonar listening on localhost:9000.
4. Open a browser and enter localhost:9000. The sonar web page should open.
Note that it may take some time until sonar loads, so if you get "page not found" in your browser, try to refresh the page later.
Installing SonarQube Runner
There are several ways to analyse the source code and in this tutorial we will choose to analyse with SonarQube Runner, recommended as the default launcher to analyze a project.
1. Once again go to http://www.sonarqube.org/downloads/ and download SonarQube Runner
2. Extract the downloaded archive into a directory of your choise, which we will refer as: <install_directory>
3. Update global settings by editing: <install_directory>/conf/sonar-runner.properties (if you are running sonar on localhost, like in this tutorial, you don't have to modify any settings):
#----- Default SonarQube server
#----- PostgreSQL
#----- MySQL
#----- Oracle
#----- Oracle
#----- Microsoft SQLServer
#----- Global database settings
4. Create a new SONAR_RUNNER_HOME environment variable set to <install_directory>, so that you could invoke sonar runner from any location.
5. Add the <install_directory>/bin directory to your path.
To check that sonar runner was installed properly, open a terminal window and execute sonar-runner -h.
You should get a message like this:
usage: sonar-runner [options]
-D,--define Define property
-e,--errors Produce execution error messages
-h,--help Display help information
-v,--version Display version information
-X,--debug Produce execution debug output
Analysing source code of a project
Once the sonar runner is properly installed, we can proceed to code analysis.
1. Navigate to the root directory of your project and create a file called sonar-project.properties, which will specify the project settings such as the code source directory, language used, and the project name:
sonar.projectName=My Project
Note: for Android Studio, which follows the gradle directory structure, set the sourses as:
2. Run sonar-runner command to start the analysis.
3. Once the analysis complets, head to localhost:9000 to see the results for your project.
Removing a project from SonarQube
First login as an administrator, admin/admin default username and password.
1. Go to your project dashboard
2. In the top right corner click on Configuration -> Deletion -> Delete Project
Android Volley Tutorial
Volley is an android library released by Google that can make your life easier when dealing with network operations. In this blog post I will mention the main features of the library and show a few example usages, in particular, how to make a request, how to download images, and how to use the cache.
Features of Volley library
a) Automatically schedules the network requests
b) Supports request prioritization. This means that you can load content depending of priorities, for example the main content could have a high priority, but the images a low priority.
c) Provides transparent disk and memory cache that allows for quick reloading of data. Transparent cache means that the caller doesn't have to know about the existence of the cache. That is, the cache is implemented automatically. You do, however, have the possibility to disable the caching.
d) Provides a good API for canceling requests. You can cancel a single request, or cancel requests depending on some filters.
Besides the great features that Volley comes with, you don't have to use it for everything. Volley is great for RPC-style network operations that populate UI, a typical example would be loading thumbnail images into a ListView, but not very good for streaming operations like downloading a video or mp3.
Getting started with Volley
1. Clone the Volley project:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley
2. Import the library into your project
The most frequent classes of Volley that you will work with are RequestQueue and Request, and ImageLoader when dealing with images loading.
RequestQueue is used for dispatching requests to the network. It is recommended to create it early and use it as a Singleton.
Request is the base class for creating network requests (GET, POST).
ImageLoader is a helper class that handles loading and caching images from remote URLs.
Step 1: VolleySingleton.java
As recommended, lets create first a Singleton class that will return on demand an instance of RequestQueue and one of ImageLoader.
public class VolleySingleton { private static VolleySingleton instance; private RequestQueue requestQueue; private ImageLoader imageLoader; private VolleySingleton(Context context) { requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context); imageLoader = new ImageLoader(requestQueue, new ImageLoader.ImageCache() { private final LruCache<String, Bitmap> cache = new LruCache<String, Bitmap>(20); @Override public Bitmap getBitmap(String url) { return cache.get(url); } @Override public void putBitmap(String url, Bitmap bitmap) { cache.put(url, bitmap); } }); } public static VolleySingleton getInstance(Context context) { if (instance == null) { instance = new VolleySingleton(context); } return instance; } public RequestQueue getRequestQueue() { return requestQueue; } public ImageLoader getImageLoader() { return imageLoader; } }
Step 2: Add internet permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Step 3: Create an instance of RequestQueue
RequestQueue queue = VolleySingleton.getInstance(this).getRequestQueue();
Step 4: Create the request
Volley comes with a class called JsonRequest that you can use to make requests to a server that returns a json response.
However, in this example we will query an RSS feed which returns a response in XML format. Volley does not include a similar class for handling xml responses, like JsonRequest, but it has StringRequest class that can be used to retrieve the response body as a String.
There are two ways to construct a StringRequest:
StringRequest(int method, String url, Listener<String> listener, ErrorListener errorListener)
StringRequest(String url, Listener<String> listener, ErrorListener errorListener)
The second constructor does not take the request method as a parameter, when not specified, a GET request is created.
Listener is a callback interface for delivering the result, and
ErrorListener is a callback interface for delivering error responses.
String url = "http://www.pcworld.com/index.rss"; StringRequest request = new StringRequest(url, new Listener<String>() { @Override public void onResponse(String response) { // we got the response, now our job is to handle it parseXmlResponse(response); } }, new ErrorListener() { @Override public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) { //something happened, treat the error. } });
Step 6: Execute the request
And that is all! The execution of the request implies its addition to the RequestQueue.
Step 7: Loading thumbnail images
Loading images can be done easy if you replace the android's ImageView with Volley's NetworkImageView:
<com.android.volley.toolbox.NetworkImageView android:id="@+id/icon" android:layout_width="80dp" android:layout_height="80dp" android:src="@drawable/default_placeholder" />
then use setImageUrl() and you are done!
String url = "..."; // URL of the image ImageView imageView = (ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.image); ImageLoader imageLoader = VolleySingleton.getImageLoader(); imageView.setImageUrl(url, imageLoader);
If, for some reason, you don't want or can't use NetworkImageView, then there's an alternate method.
You can use the get() method of ImageLoader class which accepts the image url and an instance of ImageListener:
ImageLoader imageLoader = VolleySingleton.getImageLoader(); imageLoader.get(url, new ImageListener() { public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) { imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon_error); // set an error image if the download fails } public void onResponse(ImageContainer response, boolean arg1) { if (response.getBitmap() != null) { imageView.setImageBitmap(response.getBitmap()); } } });
Reading from cache
One of the Volley's features is that it provides transparent disk and memory cache. The cache is implemented automatically for classes that extends Request, such as JsonRequest and StringRequest.
To read the cache:
Entry entry = queue.getCache().get(url); if(entry!=null){ String data = new String(entry.data, "UTF-8"); // process data }
To turn off the cache:
to remove the cache for a specific request:
to clear all cache:
to invalidate the cache: this will allow to display the cached data until the response is received. When the response is received, it will automatically override the cached data.
queue.getCache().invalidate(url, true);

Using Maven to save the build time in a properties file
Create a folder called build in the root directory of the project, and a file build.properties with the following content:
Using the maven replacer plugin we can replace the token @buildtime@ within the build.properties file with the build timestamp value, and then let the Android application read that value and use it.
<plugins> <plugin> <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId> <artifactId>replacer</artifactId> <version>1.5.2</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>validate</phase> <goals> <goal>replace</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <file>build/build.properties</file> <outputFile>res/raw/build.properties</outputFile> <replacements> <replacement> <token>@buildtime@</token> <value>${maven.build.timestamp}</value> </replacement> </replacements> </configuration> </plugin> </plugin>
Run this task with mvn validate command. This will do nothing but replace the tokens from build.properties file with the timestamp value, and output the result to a new file in res/raw.
From here on the file can be accessed as a raw resource and read as a regular properties file.
Reading the properties file:
InputStream rawResource = resources.openRawResource(R.raw.build); Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.load(rawResource); String buildTime = properties.getProperty("build.time");
Using Maven in Android to build for different environments (dev, staging, prod, etc)
If you are working on a relatively complex project, chances are that you may need to build the application against different environments, such as a development, a staging, and a production environment. Assuming you are using Maven as a build tool, here's one solution how Maven could help with this.
For the sake of this example let assume that you are working on an Android app that consumes web services. You have a dedicated development environment where you spent most of the time, but once every two weeks you need to make a version of the app that is built for production.
Let assume that the endpoint for the testing environment is dev.mysite.com, and for the production environment is: prod.mysite.com.
But as an aspiring developer and after reading a bunch of books about best practices, you can no longer accept to just go and manually edit the source files by changing all over the place one environment with another, and you ask yourself if Maven could help with this.
It can, and here's how.
The main idea is to store all the properties, in this particular example all the urls, in separate resource files. Then, using maven resource plugin copy the corresponding property file into values/environment.xml.
1. In your project root directory create following directory structure:
2. Then fill the content of the resource files with appropriate values.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="url">http://dev.mysite.com</string> </resources>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="url">http://prod.mysite.com</string> </resources>
3. Add the maven resource plugin to pom.xml by specifying the phase when the copy action should be executed, the resources, and the output directory:
//... <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4.3</version> <executions> <execution> <id>copy-string-resources</id> <phase>validate</phase> <!-- when to execute copy operation --> <goals> <goal>copy-resources</goal> </goals> <configuration> <resources> <resource> <directory>environment/${environment}/</directory> <includes> <include>environment.xml</include> <filtering>true</filtering> </includes> </resource> </resources> <overwrite>true</overwrite> <outputDirectory>${basedir}/res/values/</outputDirectory> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins>
4.1 From this point on, you can automate the preparation of environment by creating 2 run configurations:
mvn validate -Denvironment=dev
mvn validate -Denvironment=prod
that will do nothing but copy the appropriate resources from evironment/${environment}/environment.xml, into values/environment.xml
Now, every time you'll need to prepare a build against a specific environment, the only thing you'll need to do will be to run one of those commands.
4.2 Another option, to make the things even more compact, is instead of passing the environment like this: -Denvironment=dev, would be to create 2 profiles in pom.xml:
<profiles> <profile> <id>development</id> <properties> <environment>dev</environment> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>prod</id> <properties> <environment>prod</environment> </properties> </profile> </profiles>
and then create 2 run configurations with appropriate profile:
mvn validate -P development
mvn validate -P prod
For easy access at environment resources you could create a class like this that will return all the environment properties your applications uses:
public class ApplicationEnvironment{ //... public String getServerUrl(){ return resources.getString(R.string.url); } }

Our site is Under Construction but see all of the EXCITEMENT!!
Everyone knows by now that Sugar Fix Bakery is moving in our retail storefront location in Ashland, Virginia. But, question that we hear from everyone is, "When are you opening"? Well, it's really not as easy as we thought it was going to be. First we are moving into a space that is not set up as a food establishment. Even though everything about this space has a "warm bakery feel" to it, that is what drew us to this particular spot to begin with. But setting up a "Commercial Kitchen" in a space that not really laid out for a "Commercial Kitchen" has been a little bit of a set back for us. Along with the normal time that any business has to wait for PERMITS from the county and the state, we have encountered little "set backs" all along the way. This is not stopping our motivation or spirits by no means, we are just working through all of the challenges and we know that all of these little things will make the opening day that much sweeter! So while our website and new space is being "reconstructed" we will post here, our facebook page and our instagram account with updates, pictures and post that will let you know how we are progressing and getting closer to opening day. Right now, our target date is EARLY SPRING, which is just around the corner! I can't think of a more perfect time for our doors to be open in early spring when new growth and birth is represented! We can't wait to be in our space and meet all of the wonderful people and business owners in town, see our customers and focus on making Sugar Fix the "Best Little Bakery Boutique" in the Center of the Universe, Ashland, Virginia.
