Hey all! Today I wanted to share with you another makeup collection in collaboration with Burberry and Sephora which was used in Burberry’s February 2016 Womenswear show. I’m so excited to be partnering with Burberry, so wanted to send a big thank you to Burberry for sponsoring this blog post and sending me these to […]
How does baby foot work? Leslie asks…Can you please explain how Babyfoot works and if it is truly safe to use. I have used it and my feet did peel but I really don’t understand how it works. In case our listeners aren’t familiar with this product, it’s a special type of exfoliator designed just […]
How does Tresemme Beauty-Full Volume Reverse Wash haircare system work? Jess says…I just saw an ad for the Tresemme Beauty-Full Volume system. Is there really something to conditioning first and then shampooing or are they just convincing us to wash our money down the drain? Let’s talk a little bit about the process of reverse […]
What’s the deal with micellar water make up removers? Taylor asks…I’m a new listener and enjoy your show so much. (Gets me through the work day) I want to know the hype about micellar water and is this something new or just a mild makeup remover with a “fancy name.” Micellar waters are named after […]
There are two ways of “linkifying” URLs in a TextView. First, as an XML attribute: <TextView … android:autoLink=”phone|web” /> and second, programmatically: TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text1); Linkify.addLinks(textView, Linkify.PHONE_NUMBERS | LINKIFY.WEB_URLS); In both the cases, the framework internally registers a LinkMovementMethod on the TextView that handles dispatching a ACTION_VIEW Intent when any link is clicked. This is why phone-numbers open in a dialer when clicked, […]
I try to keep this blog on topic, sticking to technical posts of interest to iOS and macOS developers. So when I wanted to write about something else I set up a different blog unrelated to my business. As some of you are aware, when I’m not working on apps I’m also a radio DJ, […]
Is Charlotte Tilbury Multi-miracle cream really worth it? Jo asks…I love Charlotte Tilbury’s Multi-Miracle Glow product but I’m afraid I spent too much and I worry that it really provides any benefits. Can you tell me if it has any special properties and if not is there a more budget conscious version? Thanks for the question, […]
Author: Randy Schueller Published: August 30, 2016 Our plane just landed and I’m posting this from my phone while waiting for Perry who’s stuck in customs. Apparently they think his juggling balls are contraband. We’ll be home soon! In the meanwhile listen to this blast from the past about skin cleansers and active ingredients. Click […]
Android developers spend a lot of time writing XML layouts every day. This talk will explain how Android’s LayoutInflater works. By the end of this talk, you will have an understanding of how XML gibberish gets converted to Views in Java, how AppCompat is able to back-port Material Design for pre-Lollipop devices auto-magically and how […]
Author: Randy Schueller Published: August 23, 2016 I thought for sure we’d be back in the country by now but before we could board the plane Perry was detained by the police. I’m still not sure what’s going on but apparently it has something to do him getting robbed on the way back to the hotel. […]
