    From the Project Euler Problem 31: In England the currency is made up of pound, £, and pence, p, and there are eight coins in general circulation: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 (100p) and £2 (200p). It is possible to make £2 in the following way: 1×£1 + 1×50p + 2×20p + 1×5p…

    From the Project Euler Problem 30: Surprisingly there are only three numbers that can be written as the sum of fourth powers of their digits: 1634 = 14 + 64 + 34 + 44 8208 = 84 + 24 + 04 + 84 9474 = 94 + 44 + 74 + 44 As 1 =…

    From the Project Euler Problem 29: Consider all integer combinations of ab for 2 ≤ a ≤ 5 and 2 ≤ b ≤ 5: 22=4, 23=8, 24=16, 25=32 32=9, 33=27, 34=81, 35=243 42=16, 43=64, 44=256, 45=1024 52=25, 53=125, 54=625, 55=3125 If they are then placed in numerical order, with any repeats removed, we get the…

    If you have an EditTextPreference tag in a xml file you can catch the click event implementing OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener but it doesn’t work if you have a Preference tag in the xml file. Consider the following code inside a xml file for the preferences: <Preference android:key=”my_key” android:summary=”my_summary” android:title=”my_title” > </Preference>

    From the Project Euler Problem 27: Euler discovered the remarkable quadratic formula: n² + n + 41 It turns out that the formula will produce 40 primes for the consecutive values n = 0 to 39. However, when n = 40, 40² + 40 + 41 = 40(40 + 1) + 41 is divisible by…

    It is very easy to get the Context inside an Activity: with the getApplicationContext() method using only “this” because the Activity class extends the Context class But you can’t use any of these two methods inside a Fragment and you have to replace them respectively with: getActivity().getApplicationContext() getActivity() I often do this replacement when I…

    In the post Executing code on the creation or destruction of a bean in Spring I explain three ways to execute code on the creation or destruction of a Bean in Spring. With two of these ways you can set the execution of a specific custom method: with the annotations @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy configuring the…
