Android - Create New Labels In Gmail App


Answer :

As of current writing, it seems that it's (still) impossible to create a new label in Android Gmail app. From Google Gmail official support,




Create a label




  1. On a computer, open Gmail. You can't create labels from the Gmail app.

  2. On the left, click More.

  3. Click Create new label.

  4. Name your label.

  5. Click Create.




(Emphasis mine)



If Inbox App is installed on the device and has access to Gmail ID, then from Inbox App, it is possible to create a Gmail Label, and the same will be SYNC to Gmail App.



There is an option in Inbox App's Navigation drawer (sliding menu) to create new Gmail Labels.



Not sure why the same is not made available in the official Gmail App itself, because the app is developed by the Gmail Team only.



How I found I could create a new label on Android:




  • Open Android Chrome.

  • Invoke Gmail within Chrome (via that 3x3 grid selector), which opens the Mobile version of Gmail.

  • Open an email & scroll to the bottom and you'll see:
    "View Gmail in: Mobile | Older version | Desktop"

  • Click on "Desktop", which will open the desktop version of Gmail where you can create a folder as you would on your laptop.

  • Close all Android apps. Then when you reopen the Gmail app, you will see the newly created folder.



Why oh why cannot such a rich company with so much talent put something as basic as label creation in their mobile app. Geez! :(

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
