Why is resource id different at runtime than in editor? - hover

Using Android Studio 4.1
I have a layout with a toolbar. I refer to the toolbar resource id in Java as R.id.mytoolbar for example. In the Java editor, when I hover over the R.id.mytoolbar reference, the popup displays something like:
public static final int mytoolbar = 1000067
I am wondering what that means, particularly the value 1000067. At runtime, the value of R.id.mytoolbar is a different integer, in particular: 2131296664 (hex 7f090198).

How can I show only method name in xUnit in Test Explorer?

If I run unit tests in Visual Studio:
If I use NUnit, Test Explorer shows the method names.
If I use xUnit, Test Explorer shows the fully qualified name including namespace, class name and method name. That's a bit too long.
I would like to show the method name only. I've seen that you can specify a setting in the App.config to show just the method name, but that is based on App.config.
How do I do the same thing in .NET Core, which has a completely different configuration model?
According the official docs, you can provide the settings for your .Net Core application with json file named
xunit.runner.json or <AssemblyName>.xunit.runner.json, where <AssemblyName> is the name of your unit test assembly, without the file extension like .dll or .exe
You should only need to use this longer name format if your unit tests DLLs will all be placed into the same output folder, and you need to disambiguate the various configuration files.
The assembly-specific filename takes precedence over the non-specific filename; there is no merging of values between files.
Supported configuration items are (The configuration elements are placed inside a top-level object):
appDomain
diagnosticMessages
longRunningTestSeconds
maxParallelThreads
methodDisplay
Set this to override the default display name for test cases. If you set this to method, the display name will be just the method (without the class name); if this set this value to classAndMethod, the default display name will be the fully qualified class name and method name.
JSON schema type: enum
Default value: classAndMethod
parallelizeAssembly
parallelizeTestCollections
preEnumerateTheories
shadowCopy
Edit: as you can see in docs, there are only two options: classAndMethod and method. According the github issue #524, there is no difference from class name and namespace in Xunit API, so you need to find a workaround.
For example, this answer approach:
public class MyFactAttribute : FactAttribute
{
public MyFactAttribute([CallerMemberName] string memberName = null)
{
DisplayName = memberName;
}
}

MvvmCross 4 support for UWP, AppShell missing Frame

I have created a new solution for my MvvmCross app that supported Windows Store and I want to support UWP on Windows 10. I have moved over the PCL successfully, but I am having problems getting the basic UWP app working using a sample provided by MS (NavigationMenu) which uses the SplitView and the AppShell pattern they are recommending for the new navigation/command model. I referenced a helpful blog post (http://stephanvs.com/implementing-a-multi-region-presenter-for-windows-10-uwp-and-mvvmcross/), which gave me some guidance on how to integrate mvvmcross into the AppShell, but startup is failing because the AppShell does not have a valid Frame defined. Frame is a read-only property, and I have been unable to see where this is being set up.
I am using the standard AppShell implementation from the NavigationMenu with the following changes as recommended in the blog post:
public sealed partial class AppShell : MvxWindowsPage // was Page
public Frame AppFrame { get { return this.Frame; } } // was this.frame
Except for code after the error, there are no differences in the setup. In looking at the MvxWindowsPage implementation, there doesn't seem to be anything special as it still invokes the Page initialization. Is there something obvious I am missing?
So the link to the blogpost is correct, in other words you'll need to use MultiRegions from MvvmCross to get this working.
But what the blogpost doesn't show is a complete working version...
I've added one on my github here:
https://github.com/Depechie/MvvmCrossUWPSplitView
Some pointers to take away, like I said in the comments.
Your view where the SplitView will be present, needs to have a property to return a valid Frame to look for while injecting new views. This can be returned like this return (Frame)this.WrappedFrame.UnderlyingControl; found in the code here https://github.com/Depechie/MvvmCrossUWPSplitView/blob/master/MvvmCrossUWP.Win/Views/FirstView.xaml.cs#L13
Than all views you want to load up in the SplitView will need to reference to the region you defined in that SplitView, in my case I named it FrameContent as seen here https://github.com/Depechie/MvvmCrossUWPSplitView/blob/master/MvvmCrossUWP.Win/Views/FirstView.xaml#L48
So use that name for the region attribute in all to be loaded views like so [MvxRegion("FrameContent")] example here https://github.com/Depechie/MvvmCrossUWPSplitView/blob/master/MvvmCrossUWP.Win/Views/SecondView.xaml.cs#L7
I see what you're trying to do with the SplitView template that's provided by Microsoft. There is however a mismatch between things managed by MvvmCross and UWP.
By default MvvmCross maps ViewModels to Views based on naming conventions. What you are trying to do is use a view 'AppShell' (which is derived of Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Page) that doesn't adhere to the default MvvmCross convention.
The way I choose to implement this SplitView (Hamburger) functionality is by deleting the provided AppShell class entirely. I then created a new view named HomeView (since I have a ViewModel with the name HomeViewModel) and added the SplitView control there as described in the post you mentioned above.
For completeness I've created a Gist with the App.xaml.cs and HomeView.xaml as you requested. You can find them here: https://gist.github.com/Stephanvs/7bb2cdc9dbf15cb7a90f

WINRT XAML System.Void Compile Error in

after a little code change inside a Store App I ran into a compilation error:
-> System.Void cannot be used from C# -- use typeof(void) to get the void type object.
Problem is: this comes from a generated file: XamlTypeInfo.g.cs.
case "System.Void"
userType= new ... ,typeof(global::System.Void), ...
...
Rolling back the changes did not help, as deleting bin & obj, restarting, etc.
Is the actual System.Void case entry maybe an indicator that something within a XAML file could not be recognized by the code generator? Is there an System.Void entry in a working XamlTypeInfo.g.cs?
--- ADDITION ---
I can now produce the compile error when changing specific lines. I have a custom control deriving from ItemsControl. I define a regular DP which works fine. I am also providing AttachedProperties for Template, TemplateSelector and Style. Think of a Textbox that gets an Label via an AttachedProperty and its not just a string but like HeaderedControls you can define a Template etc. for the Lable.
The Problem is related to the Get/Set Methods for the AttachedProp. When I either change the Getter return type to DataTemplate or I comment out the Setter fully then the compile error comes:
public static DataTemplate GetLabelTEmplate(UIElement element)
{
return (DataTemplate)element.GetValue(LabelTemplateProperty;
}
public static void SetLabelTemplate(UIElement element, object value)
{
element.SetValue(LabelTemplateProperty, value);
}
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Gope
After filing a bug complaint with microsoft they pointed me to the problem: The setter's value cannot be of type object. This information is needed for the XamlTypeInfo generation so when I changed object to DataTemplate it compiled.
Although I haven't tried it yet, I believe object is fine for plain WPF, but for Win 8 Store apps this does result in an compilation Error. Funny stuff... :)

How to work with Portable Class Library and EF Code-first?

I'm doing an Windows Phone app where I have a WebApi running in Azure.
I'm using the new "Portable Class Library" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg597391.aspx) for my "Models" project which is of cause shared between my WebApi project (this is a normale ASp.NET MVC 4 project) and my Windows Phone project.
This works great and the model (POCO) classes are serialized and deserialized just as I want.
Now I want to start storing some of my Models/POCO objects and would like to use EF Code-first for that, but that's kind of a problem as I can't add the EntityFramework assembly to my "Portable Class Library" project, and really I would not like to either as I only need a small part (the attributes) in my Models project.
So, any suggestions to how a approach this the best way?
UPDATE:
Well, it seems like I can actually add the EntityFramework assembly to the project, but that doesn't really help me, as the attributes I need to use lives in System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations which can't be used on Windows Phone.
Any suggestions still?
Don't use attributes. Use fluent API instead and create separate assembly for persistence (EF) which will reference your model assembly. Persistence assembly will be use used by your WebAPI layer.
I use a modified approach than Mikkel Hempel's, without the need to use pre processing directives.
Create a standard .NET class library, call it Models
Create a partial class representing what you want to be shared
public partial class Person
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
For non-portable code (like DataAnnotations), create another partial class and use Metadata
[MetadataTypeAttribute(typeof(Person.Metadata))]
public partial class Person
{
internal sealed class Metadata
{
private Metadata() { } // Metadata classes shouldn't be instantiated
// Add metadata attributes to perform validation
[Required]
[StringLength(60)]
public string Name;
}
}
Create a Portable Class Library, and add the class from step 2 "As Link"
When I need my domain-project across multiple platforms, I usually:
Create the standard .NET-class library project for the domain code
For each platform I create a platform specific class library
For each platform specific class library I add the files from the standard .NET-class library as links (Add existing files -> As link) and hence they're updated automatically when you edit either the linked file or the original file.
When I add a new file to the .NET-class library, I add it as links to the platform specific class libraries.
Platform specific attributes (i.e. Table and ForeignKey which is a part of the DataAnnotations-assembly) can be opted out using the pre-processor tags. Lets say I have a .NET-class library with a class and a Silverlight-project with the linked file, then I can include the .NET-specific attributes by doing:
#if !SILVERLIGHT
[Table("MyEntityFrameworkTable")]
#endif
public class MyCrossPlatformClass
{
// Blah blah blah
}
and only include the DataAnnotations-assembly in the .NET-class library.
I know it's more work than using the Portable Class Library, but you can't opt out attributes in a PCL like in the example above, since you're only allowed to reference shared assemblies (which again DataAnnotations is not).

Use of metadatatype in linq-to-sql

I had asked this question
Adding more attributes to LINQ to SQL entity
Now, when I add Browsable attribute to generated entity in designer,it works.But,when I use the MetaDataType approach,and add Browsable attribute in partial class,it does not work
"I added a MetaDataType class, and added browsable attribute to property,but seems to have no effect"
Adding the MetadataTypeAttribute will only be useful when you have written custom code that detects the BrowsableAttribute. The .NET framework doesn't handle MetadataTypeAttribute any differently than any other attribute and doesn't 'merge' your type with the meta data type.
When you have written your own code that detects the BrowsableAttribute, you can change it, so it also detects a MetadataTypeAttribute on a type and if it exists, you can go to the referred metadata class to search for properties decorated with the BrowsableAttribute. When the logic using the BrowsableAttribute has not been written by you (for instance, this is part of the .NET framework, because it is used by the Visual Studio designer), there is no way of getting this to work.
Currently there are only a few parts of the .NET framework that know about the MetadataTypeAttribute. MVC for instance uses it for validation and with .NET 4.0 DataAnnotations (that defines the attribute) also has a validator. Enterprise Library 5.0 (currently in beta) will also detect this attribute for validation.
While more and more applications and part of the framework might be able to handle this attribute, in most situations using it is useless.
I'm using it so that I can allow my Linq-To-SQL classes to also have Json properties to ease deserialization of Json objects:
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
[MetadataType(typeof(User_JsonProperties))]
public partial class User
{}
public class User_JsonProperties
{
[JsonProperty("user_id")]
public int UserId { get; set; }
}
Since the other author didn't include source code, I thought I would so that you'd see what it looks like.
