How to completely uninstall Android Studio?


Execute these commands from the terminal
rm -Rf /Applications/Android\ Studio.app
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.android.*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.android.*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/.AndroidStudio*
if you would like to delete all projects:
rm -Rf ~/AndroidStudioProjects
to remove gradle related files (caches & wrapper)
rm -Rf ~/.gradle
use the below command to delete all Android Virtual Devices(AVDs) and *.keystore. note: this folder is used by others Android IDE as well, so if you still using other IDE you may not want to delete this folder)
rm -Rf ~/.android
to delete Android SDK tools
rm -Rf ~/Library/Android*

Format an External Hard Drive or USB Flash Drive for Mac OS X

How to Format an External Drive for Mac Compatibility
This is a simple procedure and is achieved the same way for all drive types and through all connections, be they USB, Firewire, or Thunderbolt. Formatting a drive will erase all data and partitions on the disk:
  1. Connect the hard drive or USB key to the Mac
  2. Launch Disk Utility, located in Applications > Utilities
  3. Locate the drive name from the left hand side of Disk Utility and click on it
  4. Click on the “Erase” tab across the top
  5. Format a USB Flash Drive for use in Mac OS X
  6. Next to “Format:” click the contextual menu and select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”
  7. Format to Mac Filesystem
  8. Name the drive if you want, the name can be changed at any point
  9. Click the “Erase” button and confirm again on the next pop-up window
Format a USB Drive for use on a Mac
That’s all there is to it, the drive will now format and erase everything on it.
Smaller external hard drives, SSD’s, and USB flash keys format quickly, while a larger hard drive may take a while longer. When completed, the drive will be formatted to the Mac OS X compatible HFS+ filesystem.
The videos below demonstrate the complete process of formatting an external hard drive for full Mac OS X compatibility, this uses the new Disk Utility in modern versions of OS X:
Similarly, you can perform the same type of process in OS X for making a USB flash drive compatible with Mac OS using the Disk Utility in OS X, as you can see, it’s a quick procedure that is done in short order on any Mac:
Should you intend to make an OS X installer drive or create any other bootable Mac OS X volume from a drive, or use a new drive as a fully compatible Time Machine backup drive, you will also need to complete this process.

R Language

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics . R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, …) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. One of R’s strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control .

  • an effective data handling and storage facility,
  • a suite of operators for calculations on arrays, in particular matrices,
  • a large, coherent, integrated collection of intermediate tools for data analysis,
  • graphical facilities for data analysis and display either on-screen or on hardcopy, and
  • a well-developed, simple and effective programming language which includes conditionals, loops, user-defined recursive functions and input and output facilities.
Many users think of R as a statistics system. We prefer to think of it of an environment within which statistical techniques are implemented. R can be extended (easily) via packages.
R Statistics examples are:
1) Mean,Median & Mode
2) Linear Regression
3) Multiple Regression
4) Logistic Regression
5) Normal or Binomial Distribution
6) Poisson Regression
7)Analysis of Covariance
8)Time Series Analysis
9) Decision Tree
10) Random Forest


R is an integrated suite of software facilities for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display. It includes
The term “environment” is intended to characterize it as a fully planned and coherent system, rather than an incremental accretion of very specific and inflexible tools, as is frequently the case with other data analysis software.
R, like S, is designed around a true computer language, and it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. Much of the system is itself written in the R dialect of S, which makes it easy for users to follow the algorithmic choices made. For computationally-intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked and called at run time. Advanced users can write C code to manipulate R objects directly.

Error:Unable to resolve dependency for ':@debugUnitTest/compileClasspath' ':@debugUnitTest/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :CordovaLib.">

Error:Unable to resolve dependency for ':@debugUnitTest/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :CordovaLib.':@debugUnitTest/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :CordovaLib.">


I commented the lines below in the build.gradle file:
//debugCompile project(path: 'CordovaLib', configuration: 'debug') 

//releaseCompile project(path: 'CordovaLib', configuration: 'release')
and added:
compile project(':CordovaLib')
This worked for me.

ADDING AN IOS HOME SCREEN ICON FOR YOUR WEBSITE

On iOS devices using the Safari browser, you are able to add a shortcut to your home screen to any site online. By default, these shortcuts will display as a screenshot of the website. This article will explain how to set an icon to your website so that when it is saved onto iOS home screens this will display instead.

Creating And Uploading Your Icon

The image for the shortcut must be 150x150 pixels in size. This will allow it to used across all iOS devices - those with regular displays and retina displays too!
Additionally, in order for the icon to work correctly, it must follow the following specifications:
  • Must be saved in .png format
  • Must be titled apple-touch-icon
Once you have created your icon, you can then upload it into the files area within your Create account (not the images area).
To upload the icon:
  1. Log into your Create account
  2. Click 'Content' from the top menu
  3. Click 'Files' from the left-hand menu
  4. Click the 'Add File' button
  5. Follow the steps to upload your image

Adding The Icon To Your Site

Once you've uploaded the icon, you will need to add a small piece of code to the Custom <HEAD> of the page you would like to use the icon for - if you want to use it for any page that a shortcut is created for, you'll need to paste the code into each page individually. The code is below:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/sitefiles/12345/678/90/apple-touch-icon.png">
The informational following the href is the file path for the file you just uploaded. This must be the file unique to your site.
To get the file path for the icon that you've uploaded, simply click the 'link' icon on the 'Files' section. 
This will then displayed the URL for the icon.
Copy and paste this file path exactly as it appears into the code below.
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="INSERT_FILE_PATH_HERE">
To then add this code to your custom <HEAD>:
  1. Click 'Content' from the top menu
  2. Click the options icon beside the page you would like to add the icon for
  3. Click the 'Meta Info' tab
  4. Paste the code into the 'Custom <HEAD>' field
  5. Save changes and repeat as necessary
  6. You will need to publish your site for the changes to apply

Testing The Icon

It can take several hours for the icon to update once your site is published. When you're ready to test, simply follow the steps below on your iOS-enabled device (such as an iPad or iPhone):
  1. On your iOS device, open your Safari browser and go to the page on your site that you would like to make a shortcut for
  2. Click the share icon in the browser
                           
  3. Select the option 'Add to Home Screen'                                               
  4. On the 'Add to Home' page you should be able to see the icon you uploaded on the left
 
If you do not see the icon you uploaded, please double-check that you have followed the steps above, including formatting the file as required.
