In Laravel 5, I wrap my API routes in a route group like this:
|
1 2 3 |
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:api','throttle']], function() { // API routes here }); |
Notice that I use auth:api and throttle on my middleware array. auth:api turns on the auth middleware with API token as guard, while throttle activates rate limiter for APIs. To get started with API token authentication, you may read https://gistlog.co/JacobBennett/090369fbab0b31130b51. […]
I’ve been taking the Developing Android Apps course on Udacity, and yesterday I encountered a difficulty in solving the Quiz: Share Intent. One of the course’s goal is to build the Sunshine App – an Android app with weather forecast. In that quiz I had to implement ShareActionProvider on my DetailsFragment so that a share […]
https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/revert.html I’m using a Mac Mini with OS X El Capitan (v. 10.11) with Sublime Text v.2.0.2. Today, Sublime Text shortcuts like Cmd + / (line comment), Cmd + D (multiple selection), Cmd + F (find) and others stopped working. I had no problem with those key bindings before until today. Based on research, I […]
I’ve been using PHPUnit to test my RESTful API. PHPUnit is ready to use in Laravel. In my Laravel-based RESTful API, I have an endpoint /api/users which returns JSON data when you send a GET request. The API will only return such data if the client sends the corrent username and password (Basic Authentication). The […]
Hello world, I prepared a PermissionsUtil.java class and it’s on GitHub. Check it out: AndroidPermissionsUtil Why use it? It will help by letting you write less code as you add conditions to your Android app that supports Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). The utility class defines helper methods that were used in the following example. Sample usage […]
I prepared Android app codes with Google Maps and clustering feature. Feel free to use these as basis for your new projects. They are on GitHub: [1] Default Map Markers: catzie/SimpleAndroidMapClustering [2] Custom Map Markers: catzie/Simple-Android-Map-Clustering-with-Custom-Markers I simply took the necessary classes and res files from Android Maps Utility demo, and then placed […]
To get your current location via Google Map in an Android app, this was how we do it:
|
1 2 3 4 |
@Override public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) { Location location = googleMap.getMyLocation(); } |
Stop. Don’t use that! The method GoogleMap.getMyLocation() is deprecated. Instead, we need to use FusedLocationApi and the callback onLocationChanged(). Here’s an example code that works for me ( consider copying the contents of onResume() into onStart() […]
I don’t want to waste time doing things manually when I can run a script that will help me save time and effort. When using Linux or Mac command line (bash?), if you want to rename all files in your present directory and replace all hyphens – with underscores _, run this command:
|
1 |
for f in *-*; do mv "$f" "${f//-/_}"; done |
And […]
//Update: I prepared a simple Android app that features a Google Map with markers that form clusters together when zoomed out. Check it out: Simple Android Map Clustering on GitHub. This “dev note” of mine will give you a rough idea on how to add a Google Map to your Android up from an empty […]
I tried to update Laravel 5 today and here were the steps I had to take. First checked my Laravel version before the update:
|
1 2 |
$ php artisan --version Laravel Framework version 5.0.35 |
Edited composer.json in my laravel’s root folder like such:
|
1 2 3 |
"require": { "laravel/framework": "5.2.*" } |
Run this on command line:
|
1 |
composer update |
You might need to delete root folder’s composer.lock file before the update can actually […]
