I have created a Popup window which contains month view to pick up date. When I changes orientation, due to Android loads an activity all over again my popup Window gets disappears. How can I make it opened even when orientation changes at runtime?

    include android:configChanges="orientation" in your AndroidManifest.xml to the activity displaying window. Doing this tells android that you are going to handle orientation change yourself and eventually it will not destroy your activity and keeping the window displayed.

    This technique is good if you dont have different layouts for portrait and landscape mode. However, if you do, you may still perform custom layout implementation by detecting the orientation mode as below:

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    if(newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)
    Log.i("orientation", "Orientation changed to: Landscape");
    else
    Log.i("orientation", "Orientation changed to: Portrait");
    }


    for preview, download and install this sample app.

    Whenever there is an orientation change, Android destroys your activity ( calls onDestroy()) and then restarts it (calls onCreate()).
    As soon as your popup is up, set a flag popup_open=1. Your popup will naturally have a dismiss button. Set the flag=0 in the click handler of this button. You can then re-open the popup when the app restarts in the method onRestoreInstanceState() or in the onCreate(). Here you would make a check for the flag. If the flag is set to 1, bring up the popup. So even if the orientation changed while the popup was up, onRestoreInstanceState() will know what to do based onthe state of the flag.

    Add this property to your activity in manifest.xml

    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard"


    and that should do it.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
