Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

Answer by Jim Dennis on Stack Overflow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118

Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

You mention cutting with yy and complain that you almost never want to cut whole lines. In fact programmers, editing source code, very often want to work on whole lines, ranges of lines and blocks of code. However, yy is only one of many way to yank text into the anonymous copy buffer (or "register" as it's called in vi).

The "Zen" of vi is that you're speaking a language. The initial y is a verb. The statement yy is a simple statement which is, essentially, an abbreviation for 0 y$:

0 go to the beginning of this line. y yank from here (up to where?)

Resize a bitmap respecting the aspect radio. I use a custom transformations with Picasso library. This transformation calculate the new dimension of the bitmap scaling it to fit a specific width or height that we pass as a parameter (usually the biggest size of the imageView where we wanna set the bitmap).
public class ScaleToFitWidthHeightTransform implements Transformation {
private int mSize;
private boolean isHeightScale;
public ScaleToFitWidthHeightTransform(int size, boolean isHeightScale){
mSize =size;
this.isHeightScale = isHeightScale;
}

Lightning Talk: Git add -p

git add -p is your friend

git add -p is basically "git add partial (or patch)"

Patch mode allows you to stage parts of a changed file, instead of the entire file. This allows you to make concise, well-crafted commits that make for an easier to read history. This feature can improve the quality of the commits. It also makes it easy to remove parts of the changes in a file that were only there for debugging purposes - prior to the commit without having to go back to the editor.

It allows you to see the changes (delta) to the code that you are trying to add, and lets you add them (or not) separately from each other using an interactive prompt. Here's how to use it:

from the command line, either use

  • git add -p

This gist demonstrates how to create an animated pause/resume media playback button for Android. It uses animated vector drawables and state transitions to orchestrate the effect. Some background: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MoritzPost/posts/3EFF8uC7jXv
