javascript - Polymer 2.0: why do we need an anonymous function when imperatively adding listener -


in new docs polymer 2.0 (https://www.polymer-project.org/2.0/docs/devguide/events#imperative-listeners), gives following example: 

ready() {   super.ready();   this.addeventlistener('click', e => this._myclicklistener(e)); }

to add event listener imperatively. if wanted remove listener, have following (according docs): 

constructor() {   super();   this._boundlistener = this._mylocationlistener.bind(this); }  connectedcallback() {   super.connectedcallback();   window.addeventlistener('hashchange', this._boundlistener); }  disconnectedcallback() {   super.disconnectedcallback();   window.removeeventlistener('hashchange', this._boundlistener); }

this make sense me on surface; need make sure same reference function passed both remove , add event listener since that's way indexes different listeners.

however, why have use .bind(this)? understand returns new function binds function whatever "this" is, it's useful make new reference function that's saved can add , remove same function reference.

but why can't first example? doesn't this._myclicklistener(e) in first segment of code have unique function reference doesn't change can reference add , remove listener? why need wrap in anonymous function in first place? feel solve problem solved verbosely in second segment of code, it's done way reason.

thanks or suggestions in advance!

if pass this._myclicklistener callback, wouldn't called this value want, since dom implementation triggers call it, , not know this: this global object (or undefined in strict mode).

you say, ok, bind this this._myclicklistener.bind(this), don't have reference function, created on spot. when trying call removeeventlistener cannot access this._myclicklistener.bind(this) creates new function again, not 1 used before.

so, there no other way assign bound function variable, , use variable in both addeventlistener , removeeventlistener: way satisfy 2 conditions @ same time:

  • you have reference function
  • the function bound correct this

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() .
