r - How to properly return character values for dplyr's do? -


consider following code:

foo <- function() {   if (runif(1) < 0.5) {     return(data.frame(result="low"))   } else {     return(data.frame(result="high"))   } }  df = data.frame(val=c(1,2,3,4,5,6)) df %>% group_by(val) %>% do(foo())

it random, if there both "low" , "high" results returned, you'll see errors this:

warning messages: 1: in bind_rows_(x, .id) : unequal factor levels: coercing character 2: in bind_rows_(x, .id) :   binding character , factor vector, coercing character vector 3: in bind_rows_(x, .id) :   binding character , factor vector, coercing character vector 4: in bind_rows_(x, .id) :   binding character , factor vector, coercing character vector 5: in bind_rows_(x, .id) :   binding character , factor vector, coercing character vector

i believe first value being returned (say, "low") converted factor 1 level, , when other level comes along, incurs dplyr's wrath.

what proper way code example avoid warnings?

edit: 1 solution this:

foo <- function() {   if (runif(1) < 0.5) {     return(data.frame(result=factor("low", levels=c("low", "high"))))   } else {     return(data.frame(result=factor("high", levels=c("low", "high"))))   } }

but if don't know factor levels ahead of time?

also, more fundamentally, i'd return character vector, not factor.

either:

  • use stringsasfactors=false: return(data.frame(..., stringsasfactors=false))

or:

  • use data_frame: return(data_frame(...))

see ?data.frame more factor treatment.

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() .
