        Window window = this.getWindow();

        // clear FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS flag:
        window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);

This is how you set up a custom layout in kotlin, with a linearlayout and 3 textviews but these are embedded so a little
trick here to get the properties setters and getters needs to be done.  May not be the most efficient way but it works

attrs.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <declare-styleable name="DetailSectionHeaderText">
        <attr name="title" format="string" />

1. Create a new package in your app with name android.support.v4.app This is a workaround to override package-private methods.

2. Create or Edit your Own ServiceClass to Override dequeueWork() method and surround super.dequeueWork() call with try/catch block like the coming snippet.

Any code that uses JobIntent Service override with this class  
(Important Note: This fix should be tracked from time to time as any change in the support libraries might break it.)

public abstract class MyServiceImpl extends JobIntentService {
    // This method is the main reason for the bug and crash
    // the dequeueWork method is called only when the worker service is done

Most code I saw for this was to create custom layout.  Project I did not want to do this but do it for only a specific activity.  Here is how to do it in the activity in onStart()

    override fun onStart() {
        super.onStart()
        
        val toolbarViewGroup = findViewById<ViewGroup>(R.id.action_bar)  // standard action layout from theme
        
        toolbarViewGroup?.let{ viewGroup ->
            // find the textview title since its in combined layout
            val textView = viewGroup.children.find { (it is TextView) } as TextView

// So I found out that its not easy to do this without the right code.  
// Funny thing is that it puts a recording on the phone with some random name.mp4
// The hard thing was actually saving it locally.
// When you stop the recording its in a string 64 base you have to decode and then write that byte array to a file.

protected void screenRecordVideo() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
    if (platform == OperatingSystem.ANDROID) {
        ((CanRecordScreen)driver).startRecordingScreen(
                new AndroidStartScreenRecordingOptions()
                        .withVideoSize("1280x720")

# CircleCI I had a time where I wanted the UI tests to not stop the build because I would run another script to do some
# Test case management and report the findings but I still wanted a build to diagnose or triage the issue for devs.
# I finally found out how to do so by making the gradlew build/run tests command always return 0 by a simple
# CircleCI option

commands:
  test_ui:
    steps:
      # running a gradle managed device that by this command starts the emulator and runs the UI tests 
      # adding the '|| true' makes it always return true
