Update 10-28-2016: Update to the discussion of the request fields.

The Problem:

When using the Google Drive Java Client Library to list a user's photos and videos in your app, the thumbnailLink property is empty.

The Solution:

As far as I can tell, there is literally no good documentation on the solution for this. However, with the help of a co-worker and the REST API operations, I've gotten the solution.

Summary: Android has issues if you have identically named menu resources in a library and consuming app project.

I recently discovered something to look out for if you are attempting to work with Activity toolbar/actionbar menus inside of a library. In my case, here is what I was doing:

• Working with an activity inside of a library project.
• Attempting to inflate a menu resource in the library Activity that was contained inside of the library project.
• Open the library activity (actually an extended version of the activity) from the consuming Android app.

When I ran my consuming app activity, I was not seeing changes reflected to the menu in my app. This was really, really confusing.

The Problem

It turns out trying to find information about how to style an Android checkbox is actually quite challenging. Searching reveals a smattering of blog posts and Statck Overflow articles that don't really solve the problem. Here's what I was trying to do:

• Change the default unchecked "open box" color on a checkbox
• Change the default checked box color on a checkbox
• Use in an API leve 18 Android app

It turns out the solution is relatively simple.

#The right way to call the no-argument function:
returnData = do processData

creativedrewy

#Calling a function with arguments:
returnData = processData "First Argument", 3, "third"

#Pretend the same function had no arguments, call like this? No, wrong:
returnData = processData
