I am new to Windows Phone programming, and am trying to get a simple Application to run.
However, I have difficulties with debugging.
On the creation of the Database I want to insert some default data:
using (DODataContext db = new DODataContext(DBConnectionString))
{
if (db.DatabaseExists() == false)
{
// Create the local database.
db.CreateDatabase();
DateTime DateFields = new DateTime(2013, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
// Prepopulate the categories.
db.Languages.InsertOnSubmit(new DOLanguage { Code = "EN", Name = "English", LastUpdate = DateFields });
db.Languages.InsertOnSubmit(new DOLanguage { Code = "FR", Name = "French", LastUpdate = DateFields });
db.Languages.InsertOnSubmit(new DOLanguage { Code = "ES", Name = "Spanish", LastUpdate = DateFields });
db.MenuItems.InsertOnSubmit(new DOMenuItem { Id = 3, Title = "Test 3", LastUpdate = DateFields, Level = 1, Action = "article/1", CommonId = 1, Section = "", Icon = "", Published = true, _languageId = 1 });
// Save categories to the database.
db.SubmitChanges();
}
}
However, on 'db.MenuItems.InsertOnSubmit' the application crashes and I get the following console output (db.Languages.InsertOnSubmit works fine):
The thread '' (0x18630716) has exited with code 0 (0x0). The
thread '' (0x183809e2) has exited with code 0 (0x0). The
thread '' (0x191d0b02) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
There is no info, and I have no idea what goes wrong. Anybody any suggestions how to debug this problem?
_languageId = 1, it's is not there in the database yet when you're adding that menu.
You can do it many ways, for example save it in two shots,
db.Languages.InsertOnSubmit(new DOLanguage { Code = "EN", Name = "English", LastUpdate = DateFields });
db.Languages.InsertOnSubmit(new DOLanguage { Code = "FR", Name = "French", LastUpdate = DateFields });
db.Languages.InsertOnSubmit(new DOLanguage { Code = "ES", Name = "Spanish", LastUpdate = DateFields });
and then call save changes and that should work, also you probably should not have specify the id of the menu item.

I have an array:
messages = {
{
id = 1,
sender = 987654321,
content = 'test message'
},
{
id = 2,
sender = 123456789,
content = 'testowa wiadomość'
},
{
id = 3,
sender = 123456789,
content = 'txd'
}
}
I want to group elements in array based on 'sender' as primary key. Final result should looks like that:
messages = {
{
sender = 987654321,
messages = {
'test message'
}
},
{
sender = 123456789,
messages = {
'testowa wiadomość',
'txd'
}
}
}
Could anyone help me out from this please?
OK, I solved this problem:
function groupMessages(array)
local result = {};
for k, v in ipairs(array) do
if not result[v.sender] then
result[v.sender] = {};
end
table.insert(result[v.sender], v);
end
return result;
end
Can someone please help me how can I change the contents of Formats dropdown in richtexteditor ej2 syncfusion?
At the moment, default values are: Paragraph, Code, Quotation, Heading 1 etc.
I want to remove the Code, Quotation and add a new custom Format called "My Paragraph".
I have gone through the documentation and apparently, it is not listed.
Help will be appreciated.
Here is what my current configuration is:
#Html.EJS().RichTextEditor("table").ToolbarSettings(e => e.Items((object)ViewBag.tools)).Value((string)ViewBag.value).QuickToolbarSettings(e => { e.Table((object)ViewBag.table); }).InsertImageSettings(new RichTextEditorImageSettings() { Path = "/Uploads/", SaveUrl = "/Home/Save" }).ShowCharCount(true).MaxLength(2000).Created("created").Render()
Controller method return configuration in viewbag
var tools = new
{
tooltipText = "Custom Tools",
template = "<button class='e-tbar-btn e-btn' tabindex='-1' id='custom_tbar' style='width:100%'><div class='e-tbar-btn-text rtecustomtool' style='font-weight: 500;'> Custom Tools</div></button>"
};
ViewBag.tools = new object[] {
"Bold", "Italic", "Underline", "StrikeThrough",
"FontColor", "BackgroundColor",
"LowerCase", "UpperCase", "|",
"Formats", "Alignments", "OrderedList", "UnorderedList",
"Outdent", "Indent", "CreateTable","|",
"CreateLink", "Image", "|", "ClearFormat", "Print",
"SourceCode", "FullScreen", tools,"|", "Undo", "Redo"
};
ViewBag.table = new[] {
"tableRows","tableColumns","tableCellVerticalAlign","tableCellHorizontalAlign","backgroundcolor"
};
ViewBag.value="";
You can modify the existing “format” option using Format property as shown below.
[View]
#Html.EJS().RichTextEditor("default").Format((object)ViewBag.types).ActionBegin("onBegin").Render()
<script>
function onBegin(e) {
alert(e.element.textContent + " is Selected");
}
</script>
[Controller]
public ActionResult Index()
{
object format1 = new { text = "Paragraph", value = "P" };
object format2 = new { text = "My Paragraph", value = "BlockQuote" };
object format3 = new { text = "Heading 1", value = "H1" };
object format4 = new { text = "Heading 2", value = "H2" };
ViewBag.types = new { width = "40px",
types = new[] { format1, format2, format3, format4 }
};
return View();
}
If the newly added item has any predefined format, you can mention that format in value. Else if you want to perform custom action, then you can get the selected item through actionBegin event of RTE and perform required action there. Now the items will be displayed in toolbar as shown below
Sample
I am currently attempting to make an Alexa skill that will issue a "Find my iPhone" alert to my apple devices when I give alexa the correct prompts. I am quite new to developing for the alexa skill set and coding at that (especially in node.js). Here is my quote:
var phoneId = "I have my values here";
var ipadId = "I have my values here";
var macId = "I have my values here";
var deviceId = "";
var APP_ID = ''; //replace with "amzn1.echo-sdk-ams.app.[your-unique-value-here]";
var AlexaSkill = require('./AlexaSkill');
var alexaResponse;
//Import Apple.js
var Apple = require('./Apple');
var apple = new Apple();
var alertSuccess = "Alert sent to Kenny's phone";
var alertFailed = "Alert couldn't be sent to Kenny's phone. Good luck finding it.";
var FindDevice = function () {
AlexaSkill.call(this, APP_ID);
};
// Extend AlexaSkill
FindDevice.prototype = Object.create(AlexaSkill.prototype);
FindDevice.prototype.constructor = FindDevice;
FindDevice.prototype.eventHandlers.onSessionStarted = function (sessionStartedRequest, session) {
console.log("Quote onSessionStarted requestId: " + sessionStartedRequest.requestId
+ ", sessionId: " + session.sessionId);
// any initialization logic goes here
};
FindDevice.prototype.eventHandlers.onLaunch = function (launchRequest, session, response) {
console.log("Quote onLaunch requestId: " + launchRequest.requestId + ", sessionId: " + session.sessionId);
getWelcomeResponse(response);
};
FindDevice.prototype.eventHandlers.onSessionEnded = function (sessionEndedRequest, session) {
console.log("Quote onSessionEnded requestId: " + sessionEndedRequest.requestId
+ ", sessionId: " + session.sessionId);
// any cleanup logic goes here
};
FindDevice.prototype.intentHandlers = {
// register custom intent handlers
"FindDeviceIntent": function (intent, session, response) {
determineDevice(intent, session, response);
}
};
/**
* Returns the welcome response for when a user invokes this skill.
*/
function getWelcomeResponse(response) {
// If we wanted to initialize the session to have some attributes we could add those here.
var speechText = "Welcome to the Lost Device. Which device shall I find?";
var repromptText = "<speak>Please choose a category by saying, " +
"iPhone <break time=\"0.2s\" /> " +
"Mac <break time=\"0.2s\" /> " +
"iPad <break time=\"0.2s\" /></speak>";
var speechOutput = {
speech: speechText,
type: AlexaSkill.speechOutputType.PLAIN_TEXT
};
var repromptOutput = {
speech: repromptText,
type: AlexaSkill.speechOutputType.SSML
};
response.ask(speechOutput, repromptOutput);
}
function determineDevice(intent, session, response) {
var deviceSlot = intent.slots.Device;
if (deviceSlot == "iPhone") {
deviceId = phoneId;
pingDevice(deviceId);
} else if (deviceSlot == "iPad") {
deviceId = ipadId;
pingDevice(deviceId);
} else if (deviceSlot == "Mac") {
deviceId = macId;
pingDevice(deviceId);
} else {
var speechText = "None of those are valid devices. Please try again.";
speechOutput = {
speech: speechText,
type: AlexaSkill.speechOutputType.PLAIN_TEXT
};
response.tell(speechOutput);
}
}
function pingDevice(deviceId) {
apple.sendAlert(deviceId, 'Glad you found your phone.', function(success, result){
if(success){
console.log("Alert Sent Successfully");
var speechOutput = alertSuccess;
response.tell(speechOutput);
} else {
console.log("Alert Unsuccessful");
console.log(result);
var speechOutput = alertFailed;
response.tell(speechOutput);
}
});
}
// Create the handler that responds to the Alexa Request.
exports.handler = function (event, context) {
// Create an instance of the FindDevice skill.
var findDevice = new FindDevice();
findDevice.execute(event, context);
};
Here is the error from lambda:
{
"errorMessage": "Cannot read property 'PLAIN_TEXT' of undefined",
"errorType": "TypeError",
"stackTrace": [
"getWelcomeResponse (/var/task/index.js:87:42)",
"FindDevice.eventHandlers.onLaunch (/var/task/index.js:58:5)",
"FindDevice.LaunchRequest (/var/task/AlexaSkill.js:10:37)",
"FindDevice.AlexaSkill.execute (/var/task/AlexaSkill.js:91:24)",
"exports.handler (/var/task/index.js:137:16)"
]
}
I understand that there is an undefined object here, but for the life of me I can't figure out where the code is going wrong. I am trying to take the Slot from my intent and then change the device to ping based on the slot word used. Also because I am so new to this a lot of the coding is just being done by patching things together. I did find that when I removed the .PLAIN_TEXT lines all together the code ran in lambda, but then broke in the alexa skills test area. I get the hunch I don't understand how the slots from intents are passed, but I am having trouble finding material I can understand on that matter. Any help would be fantastic!
Within the determineDevice function, you're accessing the "Device" slot object directly, rather than the actual value passed in, therefore it will never match your pre-defined set of device names.
A slot object has a name and a value - if you take a look at the Service Request JSON in the Service Simulator within the Developer Console when you're testing your Alexa skill, you'll see something like the following:
{
"session": {
"sessionId": "SessionId.dd05eb31-ae83-4058-b6d5-df55fbe51040",
"application": {
"applicationId": "amzn1.ask.skill.61dc6132-1727-4e56-b194-5996b626cb5a"
},
"attributes": {
},
"user": {
"userId": "amzn1.ask.account.XXXXXXXXXXXX"
},
"new": false
},
"request": {
"type": "IntentRequest",
"requestId": "EdwRequestId.6f083909-a831-495f-9b55-75be9f37a9d7",
"locale": "en-GB",
"timestamp": "2017-07-23T22:14:45Z",
"intent": {
"name": "AnswerIntent",
"slots": {
"person": {
"name": "person",
"value": "Fred"
}
}
}
},
"version": "1.0"
}
Note I have a slot called "person" in this case, but to get the value in the slot, you need to access the "value" property. In your example, you would change the first line of the determineDevice function to:
var deviceSlot = intent.slots.Device.value;
As an aside, I've found the Alexa-cookbook Github repository an essential resource for learning how to work with the Alexa SDK, there are examples in there for most scenarios.
I have a sample fiddle here in which the Google visualization Category Filter control is created as,
var countryPicker = new google.visualization.ControlWrapper({
'controlType': 'CategoryFilter',
'containerId': 'control1',
'options': {
'filterColumnIndex': 0,
'ui': {
'labelStacking': 'vertical',
'allowTyping': false,
'allowMultiple': false
}
}
});
var regionPicker = new google.visualization.ControlWrapper({
'controlType': 'CategoryFilter',
'containerId': 'control2',
'options': {
'filterColumnIndex': 1,
'ui': {
'labelStacking': 'vertical',
'allowTyping': false,
'allowMultiple': false
}
}
});
var cityPicker = new google.visualization.ControlWrapper({
'controlType': 'CategoryFilter',
'containerId': 'control3',
'options': {
'filterColumnIndex': 2,
'ui': {
'labelStacking': 'vertical',
'allowTyping': false,
'allowMultiple': false
}
}
});
Here We can select the filter in any combination. But, If I directly select Albany in CityPicker control then, how can I get its parent's values (ie, The value USA from countryPicker and the value New York from regionPicker) in which that particular city belongs to?
You can use a statechange event handler to get the current city, and then filter the DataTable by city to get the region and country combo(s) that correspond to that city. Here's an example:
google.visualization.events.addListener(cityPicker, 'statechange', function () {
var state = cityPicker.getState();
if (state.selectedValues.length) {
// there is a selected city
// since you set allowMultiple to false, there can be only one, so it is safe to do this:
var city = state.selectedValues[0];
var rows = data.getFilteredRows([{column: 2, value: city}]);
// parse the rows for all country/region/state combos
var regionsCountries = [];
var comboChecker = {};
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
var country = data.getValue(rows[i], 0);
var region = data.getValue(rows[i], 1);
// the comboChecker makes sure we don't add a region/country combo more than once to the data set
if (!comboChecker[region + country]) {
comboChecker[region + country] = true;
regionsCountries.push({region: region, country: country});
}
}
// do something with regionsCountries
}
});

Having a problem translating my json code form this dataObject...
var dataObject = {
"timeline":
{
"headline":"The Main Timeline Headline Goes here",
"type":"default",
"text":"<p>Intro body text goes here, some HTML is ok</p>",
"asset": {

"text":"<p>Body text goes here, some HTML is OK</p>",
}

}
}
into this method...
def timeline
t = {}
t['timeline'] = {}
t['timeline']['headline'] = "Lorem"
t['timeline']['text'] = "default"
t['timeline']['asset'] = {}
t['timeline']['asset']['media'] = ""
t['timeline']['asset']['credit'] = ""
t['timeline']['asset']['caption'] = ""
t['timeline']['date'] = [{}]
t['timeline']['date']['startDate'] = "2011,12,10"
t['timeline']['date']['endDate'] = "2011,12,11"
t['timeline']['date']['headline'] = ""
t['timeline']['date']['text'] = ""
t['timeline']['date']['asset'] = {}
t['timeline']['date']['asset']['media'] = ""
t['timeline']['date']['asset']['thumbnail'] = ""
t['timeline']['date']['asset']['credit'] = ""

t['timeline']['era']['endDate'] = "2011,12,11"
t['timeline']['era']['headline'] = ""
t['timeline']['era']['text'] = ""
return t
end
specifically I'm uncertain about
t['timeline']['date'] = [{}]
and
t['timeline']['era'] = [{}]
How should I properly write those lines?
t['timeline']['date'] = [{}]
that should work just fine. Only you have to add attributes slightly different. Like this:
t['timeline']['date'][0]['startDate'] = "2011,12,10"
^^^
first element in the array
Just build a hash directly:
def timeline
{
"timeline" = {
"headline" = "Lorem",
"text" = "default",
"asset" = {}
},
"date" = [{
"startDate" = "2011,12,10",
"asset" = {
"media" = ""
}
}]
}
end
Saves a lot of typing, and will mentally map much more naturally to JSON.
