Howdy people! We have been using RecyclerView for such a long time. It seems pretty easy to implement, isn’t it? All we need to do is extend RecyclerView.Adapter class and implement at least 3 methods:

• getItemCount()
• onCreateViewHolder()
• onBindViewHolder()

That’s it! After that generally, we provide a way to set data to adapter by adding a method like setList() and then in the method we assign a new list and then we call notifyDataSetChanged() to update RecyclerView.

But that’s not it. The method notifyDataSetChanged() refreshes whole list. As a result onBindViewHolder() is called for all of the items…

Howdy people! Recently I was exploring the internet to get some guidance on publishing Flutter or Dart packages to pub.dev via CI-CD servers. My primary goal was to use GitHub Actions to do so. Unfortunately 😕, I failed to get proper information on how can I achieve that. Then I decided to go by myself and I struggled a lot to get it working properly. So, I decided to write this easy and step-by-step guide to help others like me out there!

Are you a Flutter Developer? Do you use build_runner for code generation? Are you tired of typing or remembering the anaconda sized build_runner command? Do you want to get rid of that? Then you’ve come to the right place.

Almost every Flutter project uses code generation nowadays. Who wouldn’t? No one likes to write boilerplate code by themselves. It is exhausting and is kind of stupid at some point. That’s why Flutter developers love build_runner(Maybe not, I don’t know). The power you feel when you make the computer write code itself is incredible, isn’t it? But with great power comes great responsibility and it’s nothing different with build_runner.

Developer community have tons of information to process after Google I/O’19 sessions. The session made it clear that it is going to be Kotlin first for Android. It covered the progress made in Android support for Kotlin and Kotlin-centered universe like Kotlin samples and reference docs, annotations, framework APIs, IDE support for low-level byte code optimizations in the D8/R8 compiler.

But besides all the big fancy things that got mentioned in the keynote, we are going to check out what’s new in android architecture components.

Everything seems difficult until it is done!! I have been exploring Jenkins for a while now. When I started I didn’t know that I would face difficulty in doing the basic setup of Jenkins for building an Android project. Fortunately, I was able to make my way out after toiling for almost a week. Though Jenkins is easy to set up, it is not that easy when used for building Android Project. If you are also facing some problem, then read my post below to avoid difficulty in the setup of Jenkins for building Android project. …

Howdy People 😄 ! Starting a blog was one of the things from my Things To Do-2018 list. If you are reading this right now then I guess it must have been into your wish list too.

So, today I’m going to help you out for starting a blog.

Why A Self Hosted Blog?
