my only question is on Thread

I think that I need to use a Promise to do all

and get final result

Anyone have recommendations for disk caching? We have been using realm around here, but it tends to be overkill for a simple network cache.

honestly, I just settled on SQLite 🙂

but I use Square's really nice SQLDelight library to generate the SQL itself. If you're really bad at SQL like I am, it's useful. It checks all of your SQL at compile-time and turns it into constants on your Entity class https://github.com/square/sqldelight

@ccrowe: how about enabling your HTTP client's disk cache.

That works for the most part, it tends to be my clients who complain about cold starts that need to pull data from the network before displaying.

Also just realize I haven’t enabled the cache on this app.

You could also use something like https://github.com/pilgr/Paper if you want a simple key-value store

Thx I’ll look into this stuff. I’m starting on a new internal project which is always a good time to play around with some new ideas.

I’ve been using a own built task chaining for caching. But now I’m in the process of exchanging all that towards using disk-cache in my http-client and intercepting failing calls (offline mode) to force the stale cache.

I'm trying to write an RxJava 2 scheduler handler in Kotlin but I can't seem to get it working. What is the idiomatic Kotlin way of writing this:

Function<Scheduler, Scheduler> testSchedulerHandler = new Function<Scheduler, Scheduler>() {
        @Override
        public Scheduler apply(Scheduler t) {
            return new TestScheduler();
        }
    };

I tried

var testSchedulerHandler = Function<Scheduler, Scheduler> { TestScheduler() }

but I'm still getting

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class io.reactivex.android.schedulers.AndroidSchedulers

when I run my tests with RxAndroid 2-RC1

try cleaning the project.

NoClassDefFoundError

sounds more like a compiler bug than a bug in your code

If I get a parcelable extra from an intent how can I convince the compiler that it's of one specific type? (the likes of

intent.getParcelableExtra(key) as Type

or

intent.<Type>getParcelableExtra(key)

, but something that works)

@stoyicker

intent.getParcelableExtra<Type>(key)

anybody know how to pinpoint the location of this?

I just migrated a ****load of UI components and I've no idea why or where that error occurs 😞
