xamarin.forms - Xamarin Forms Absolute Layout instead of Relative Layout -


since jason smith didn't recommend relative layout , said should use absolute layout have question how can deal relativetoview concept?

absolute layout sets proportional coordinates , sizes of elements within relative not each other relativelayout. if need elements relative each other? creating additional grids , stacklayouts? rather use relativelayout or missing something.

decided add simplest example , consider talking relative , absolute layouts, no stack, no grid. have 2 buttons , want place them shown in picture

enter image description here absolute layout define position of top button , it's height 10% of screen. shift bottom button saying starts @ 11% of screen. change top button height. if want top button it's natural "auto" size cannot that. so, how can put bottom button under top 1 if have no idea how top button occupies on screen? know how relative how can absolute layout?

it looks solution nest bunch of layouts https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/user-interface/layouts/absolute-layout/ way? performance still better relative layout?

by nature relativelayout powerful , offers layouting options no other layout on own does. power comes @ cost in performance. resolving constraint dependencies consistently , obtaining final layout doesn't come cheaply.

the point not relativelayout should never used, rather times other layouts can job, , yes, 2-3 nested layouts can more performant single equivalent relativepanel.

grid in particular powerful option similar effects can achieved astute use of auto, star, and/or absolute-sized rows , columns appropriate, plus rowspan , columnspan, plus element margins, etc.

to consider specific example, don't know of way achieve want absolutelayout, @ least without added complication of attached properties. seems natural fit grid rowspan="auto" on first row. diagram alone can't tell other constraints you're going for.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
