@johnshea will be you online this evening? can chat more then — but yes, the way this works (single page app) is that the prefix (up to viewer) is static but the rest of the path is dynamically composed from data provided at that handler/route. So I am guessing morsels is a data array that contains each chapter’s description and the relevant path snippet, and the click handler basically creates this completed path on the fly
@johnshea and now I HAVE to hop off (I do love discussions like this so its tempting to reply but I am being glared at by my 6yo here so have to run)
@nitya I will try to be on this evening but not sure...send me a msg w/ a rough time and I will try and make it
@nitya Hi Nitya - yesterday I did a crash course online for AngularJS at codecademy. With that quick intro to AngularJS, I then looked all over but cannot find where "morsels" is populated. If it is not too difficult/time consuming, can you help me find that part?
data-ng-repeat="morsel in morsels" I am thinking it is "udacity.min.js" but having no luck - i un-minified the file and went line by line/searched.
@nitya Do you remember our discussion about the share button on the last meeting? When I was using the app today I realized that it must not be behaving the way it should... I captured my screen to show you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkmduwwe7-8
Just to describe the actions: I first enter the app, go to the Detail page. The share button shows the list ordered by my last uses. I click to share by twitter, press the back button and twitter is showing on the last used share option. When I click the share button again the twitter icon suddenly disappears (different behavior than the first time), I close and click again and twitter is on the top of my list
After that I go back to the ListView, enter again to the details page and now the list on the share button do not have any order whatsoever. I close the app, remove from the memory, and then when I launch the app again and go to the details page it shows the list ordered again, including the twitter app
@ivan94 — this is interesting (and a terrific question!) I am going to try out the sequence of actions on my local app and see what my behavior is. If you have your code on GitHub let me know and I can build that version and see as well. So one thing that would be interesting to see is what the persisted ShareAction history is, and understand how it changes based on various actions you’ve shown above. See http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html#ActionProvider — there is a file (name provided by the DEFAULT_SHARE_HISTORY_FILE_NAME attribute) which stores the history of share actions, which is effectively what the SAP uses when reordering that list. I’m curious to see what the values in that are, after each action you outline. It should default to “share_history.xml” (though you can change it). If for any reason that is null, then the history does not get persisted across sessions I believe. The bottom line is that the ShareActionProvider uses the contents of this file to recreate the order in the menu, so somewhere something is not being written or read correctly from it. That’s my guess. If you find out differently, do post back here so I can update my FAQ as well.
@ivan94 @nitya I took a quick look at this issue last night and I realized that I was getting the same behavior at one point. The way I "fix" it (still feels buggy, sometimes the share icon shows but it does not respond to click events) was using Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT instead of FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET. FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET is deprecated in API level 21.
I'm having trouble completing Lesson 4B. After making the changes required for the "Inserts with ContentProvider" quiz, the tests start to fail. >> android.database.sqlite.SQLiteReadOnlyDatabaseException: attempt to write a readonly database (code 1032) << After hours of trying different things, I decided to pull their code from GitHub (the 4.16 branch). I was surprised to see that code failed as well, in exactly the same way. Does this code work for you at all?
@nitya @lockerfish I tried it but still buggy. I do not know if it changed the behavior is some specific case but overall still behaving the same with the new flag. I tried to check the share_history.xml but I don't know how to do it. If i'm right the file is created on the private app storage space and I can't read it from adb shell or the device monitor. How do I look at the file? Do I need to open it on the app and log the contents? if that's the case I need to know the app data folder structure and where the file is located.
Hi @nitya, as promised I have a question:
The app up until lesson 5, fetch weather data from the server whenever the refresh button is pressed. It fetches the data and stores it. I don't see anywhere in the code they deleting this data, just storing. If I press the refresh button more than once in an interval small enough that the data from the server is the same in all those refreshes, the database will get some "duplicate" rows. On the Loader query we set the sortOrder to sort the data by the date, so in my view it should show some duplicate data as response right? for example if I have 3 identical forecasts for tomorrow among the data in the database, when I query sorting by date I should get all this data together. But that does not happen. So my question is why i'm not getting duplicate data on the forecast list?

without passing parameters everytime while calling a function
@yashthakur1 it depends on the the type of stuff you need to preserve in your context. The way I typically think about it is if it is stuff related to the lifecycle of an activity then use Activity Context otherwise use Application Context. Application context is there for the lifetime of the app. So, it survives activity lifecycle probably that's what you need. As a side note, don't keep presumably memory leaky stuff.
in your Application Context.. keep it lightweight.
