How to make NSMutableAttributedString work with emoji Swift 5


Hello guys, last week I got an issue related to NSMutableAttributedString. It couldn't work with emoji, when I entered three emoji like "🤣🤣🤣". It would only show "🤣🤣" not three emojies. So basically we need to handle about the length of emoji. Because it's different if you don't cast String to NSString.

Sometimes we use NSMutableAttributedString than String only because we want to customize our text like giving it a link and changing the color. Because when we use NSMutableAttributedString, we can give the business logic how it will show in view controller. And it's easy to work with TextView. We only can do "textView.attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString". And it will automatically run like we set in NSMutableAttributedString.

If you don't work NSMutableAttributedString, you would not counter this issue. Because I have tried not to use NSMutableAttributedString in TextView. It just works fine. The solution for the issue is very simple you just need to cast String to NString. Why you need to cast it to NString because the length between String and NString are different when they work with emoji.

That's is. You have to notice casting to NSString and get the right length of the text (string as NSString).length. If you do this, I'm pretty sure. You can work with emoji, I have tested it :D. By the way, I found the solution on stackoverflow but my previous solution is to use String rathan than NSMutableAttributedString. I tested it first in my playground.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask. I'm ready to help, thanks for visiting my simple blog, I hope you can learn a lot reading our articles.

How to restart the app with flutter Android and iOS

Hi all, welcome back to my blog. And today lesson is about flutter again. I have a little problem when trying to resart the app directly from the app. So what I mean is I want to restart the app after users do something. Because if I don't do it, the app flow will be bad and the data that I want to refresh will be failed. So in my use case in my app is I want to restart the app after user sign in or sign out in my app. The reason is I need to restart all of the previous state. That's the easy way I can do, and I have some problems with camera plugin. The problem is happened only on android, so when you click sign in google/facebook, there'll be new page native from their sdk and making the app in inactive status. That'll will make camera bug, and it will make the app crash.

How to have ConstraintLayout inside ScrollView and ScrollView inside ConstraintLayout Android

Hai guys, last week I found a unique way to create layout Android look. You can see the title, that's actually what I want. I know it sounds weird but sometimes we need to create something that we might curious if it's in o n the internet or not. Why I'm using ConstraintLayout because it's almost same with iOS xcode. There is constraint where you can set top constraint, bottom constraint, left constraint and right constraint. So it's easy for me to design like what I want. But it's personal, it depends on you too. And fortunely you can combine ScrollView and ConstraintLayout. Because you need to worry when the height of your layout is high than real device height. And if you don't use UIScrollview your component will be unseen when the height of device is more small than layout that we design. Like my app, I want to use ConstraintLayout and ScrollView together. Maybe it can do with RelativeLayout or others layout. But something special that I want i
