Working with UI controls from Non main thread in Kotlin


import org.jetbrains.anko.doAsync
import org.jetbrains.anko.uiThread


fun anyFunction(){
doAsync {
      // Normal code inside Async thread
      I=I+1
     If(I=100){

    uiThread {

        tvResult.setText =”I is now 100!!”
      }
    }
   //More code
   If(x==0){
     uiThread {

        tvResult.setText =”there’s some problem!”
      }
   }


}
}

Note: - you can include multiple uiThread inside same doAsync
          - you can include multiple doAsync inside any function

Permission request pop up in android

Request user to give permission to read external storage in Android - (Kotlin)


if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
        Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
    != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

    // Permission is not granted    // Should we show an explanation?    if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
            Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {

    } else {
        // No explanation needed, we can request the permission.        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
            arrayOf(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE),
            READ_STORAGE_CODE);

    }
} else {
    // Permission has already been granted}
NOTE: READ_STORAGE_CODE is just an int constant with fix value like 1001, or 2023
and is a variable in class level. 

TFS -GIT CertGetCertificateChain trust error CERT_TRUST_IS_UNTRUSTED_ROOT

In the TFS_Build Server or App server(if build and app server is in the same machine) >

run the script from this url: https://blog.sanjeebojha.com.np/2019/06/git-ssl-certificate-problem-unable-to.html

Once this is done, you should get another problem:

  1. Export the certificate public key to a file. The file is later required.
  2. Open the url "https://tfssite.company.com/tfs/projectcollection" in IE
  3. Click on the Lock icon in the browser address bar
  4. Select The Root level Certificate and Click View Certificate

Now Find the certificate file from GIT folder. 
normally it's inside GIT\usr\ssl\certs folder

  1. Copy the file to User folder
copy ca-bundle.trust.crt c:\Users\svc_tfs17_app

  1. Config Git to use trusted certificate using the crt file.  
    git config --global http.sslCAInfo c:\Users\svc_tfs17_app\ca-bundle.crt
  2. Convert the \n (Unix) to \r\n (Windows) so that it can be displayed by notepad editor correctly.
  3. Use the unix2dos open source software to convert \n to \r\n, or other notepad editor to replace \n to \r\n.
  1. Copy the content of tfs.cer from step o to ca-bundle.crt at the bottom of the file.

Done!

Output :


Insert Identity Column in a table

 insert an identity column in that table by using the following code:


MSSQL Remove duplicate Rows

  1. Select the duplicate key values into a holding table. For example:

        SELECT col1, col2, col3=count(*)
        INTO holdkey
        FROM t1
        GROUP BY col1, col2
        HAVING count(*) > 1
  2. Select the duplicate rows into a holding table, eliminating duplicates in the process. 
    For example:
           SELECT DISTINCT t1.* 
           INTO holddups
           FROM t1, holdkey 
           WHERE t1.col1 = holdkey.col1 
           AND t1.col2 = holdkey.col2
  3. At this point, the holddups table should have unique PKs, however, this will not be the case if t1 had        
    duplicate PKs, yet unique rows (as in the SSN example above). Verify that each key in holddups is unique,
    and that you do not have duplicate keys, yet unique rows. If so, you must stop here and reconcile 
    which of the rows you wish to keep for a given duplicate key value. For example, the query:
           SELECT col1, col2, count(*)
           FROM holddups
           GROUP BY col1, col2
    should return a count of 1 for each row. If yes, proceed to step 5 below. 
    If no, you have duplicate keys, yet unique rows, and need to decide which 
    rows to save. This will usually entail either discarding a row, or creating
    a new unique key value for this row. Take one of these two steps for each 
    such duplicate PK in the holddups table.
    
  4. Delete the duplicate rows from the original table. For example:
         DELETE t1
         FROM t1, holdkey
         WHERE t1.col1 = holdkey.col1
         AND t1.col2 = holdkey.col2  
  5. Put the unique rows back in the original table. For example:
         INSERT t1 SELECT * FROM holddups
Another Way:
delete from table1
WHERE id IN (
SELECT t1.id
FROM table1 t1, table1 t2
WHERE t1.name = t2.name AND t1.id > t2.id

foreach (var project in projects)

writeFile(project.Name);

using (System.IO.StreamWriter file =

Output is the list of project names in tfs.txt file. 

GIT - SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

Error encountered while cloning the remote repository: Git failed with a fatal error.
unable to access 'https://tfssite.company.com/tfs/uk_projectcollection/SalesPortal/_git/SalesPortalWeb/': SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

Cloning into 'C:\Users\sojha\Source\Repos\SalesPortalWeb'...
Error encountered while cloning the remote repository: Git failed with a fatal error.

Solution: Open Visual Studio Command prompt

GIT provides an option to choose from OpenSSL and Secure Channel. Choosing secure channel in git global solves this issue.

Run the script:

git config --global http.sslBackend schannel

Entity Framework Core with Existing Database

Entity Framework Core only supports code first database aproach. 
To use existing database, we'll need to reverse Engineer Model from existing Database. 
  • Open Visual studio.
  • Menu > tools >Nuget Package Manager >
  • open PM Console
Note: All the tables in the database must have Primary key defined. else you'll get error like:
Unable to generate entity type for table 'dbo.xOrdersMBS'.
Unable to identify the primary key for table 'dbo.xActivePricesEPB'.
Unable to generate entity type for table 'dbo.xActivePricesEPB'.
Unable to identify the primary key for table 'dbo.xLeadTimePBOM'.
Unable to generate entity type for table 'dbo.xLeadTimePBOM'.


 In the console, run the below power shell commands:

Using Windows Authentication:
Scaffold-DbContext "Server=DatabaseServerAddress;Database=DatabaseName;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -f

Using SQL Account:
Scaffold-DbContext "data source=DatabaseServerAddress;initial catalog=DatabaseName;uid=UserName;pwd=Password;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -f

Note: -f force create the files if the file exist in the folder Models.

EntityFramework Insert error due to PrimaryKey



MyProject.Controllers.CurrencyCodesController Unable to update the EntitySet 'CurrencyCodes' because it has a DefiningQuery and no <InsertFunction> element exists in the <ModificationFunctionMapping> element to support the current operation.
System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DbUpdateException: Unable to update the EntitySet 'CurrencyCodes' because it has a DefiningQuery and no <InsertFunction> element exists in the <ModificationFunctionMapping> element to support the current operation. ---> System.Data.Entity.Core.UpdateException: Unable to update the EntitySet 'CurrencyCodes' because it has a DefiningQuery and no <InsertFunction> element exists in the <ModificationFunctionMapping> element to support the current operation.


Scenario: 
The error occured while trying to insert the currencycodes entity to the database. 
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "cucCurrencyCode,cucDescription,cucMultiplier,cucRate,cucInUse")] CurrencyCode currencyCode)
{ if (ModelState.IsValid)
{ try
{ db.CurrencyCodes.Add(currencyCode);
db.SaveChanges();
}
 catch (Exception ex) {
log.Error(ex.Message, ex);
}
 return RedirectToAction("Index");
} return View(currencyCode);

}



Solution: 
1) Check Primary key in .edmx file.  In my case cucInUse was set as Entity key. I removed it.
2) Now Right click the .edmx file and click "Open with...". Select XML (text) Editor
3)  Find the element <EntitySet name = "CurrencyCodes"...>
4) Change store:Schema="dbo" => Schema="dbo"
5) delete element <DefiningQuery>
6) Clean the project. 
7) close Visual studio.
8) Open visual studio. Open the project. 
9) Clean and build the project. 
10) Run the application.
