Error: This text field does not specify an inputType or a hint

-
If you have used EditText field in your android project you may get this error. EditText support multiple input type hence the error. 
E.g: You will get this error if you declare EditText as below:


    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:ems="10" >
        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

Resolution: Include input type in the edittext field as below 

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="text" >
        <requestFocus />

    </EditText>

Exception handling with RestTemplate

-
Spring framework offers RestTemplate for consuming RESTful services. Recently I used RestTemplate for consuming one of the third party RESTful service.

RestTemplate offers 'ResponseErrorHandler'; which you can extend to decide which are errors for you and how to handle those error. You can override hasError and handleError methods of ResponseErrorHandler.
In handleError you can throw customException if you want, as outlined in below code.

Warning : Hardcoded string "str", should use @string resource

-
Eclipse sometimes show a warning "Hardcoded string "str", should use @string resource.", while compiling an Android project. 
E.g: you might have used text view as below, and set the text directly in the layout xml



    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is text View" />

Resolution: Declare the string resource in strings.xml, present under values folder. Use the variable instead of the value that you have set.   


E.g.: for above text view declare string resource  as below :
 <string name="info">
This is text View </string>


and update the text view as below:

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/info" />
