Top-level `await` is a footgun

Edit — February 2019

This gist had a far larger impact than I imagined it would, and apparently people are still finding it, so a quick update:

  • TC39 is currently moving forward with a slightly different version of TLA, referred to as 'variant B', in which a module with TLA doesn't block sibling execution. This vastly reduces the danger of parallelizable work happening in serial and thereby delaying startup, which was the concern that motivated me to write this gist
  • In the wild, we're seeing (async main(){...}()) as a substitute for TLA. This completely eliminates the blocking problem (yay!) but it's less powerful, and harder to statically analyse (boo). In other words the lack of TLA is causing real problems
  • Therefore, a version of TLA that solves the original issue is a valuable addition to the language, and I'm in full support of the current proposal, which you can read here.

I'll leave the rest of this document unedited, for archaeological

A SimpleSectionedRecyclerViewAdapter: use this class to realize a simple sectioned `RecyclerView.Adapter`.

You can use this class to realize a simple sectioned RecyclerView.Adapter without changing your code.

The RecyclerView should use a LinearLayoutManager. You can use this code also with the TwoWayView with the ListLayoutManager (https://github.com/lucasr/twoway-view)

This is a porting of the class SimpleSectionedListAdapter provided by Google

public Bitmap blurBitmap(Bitmap bitmap){
//Let's create an empty bitmap with the same size of the bitmap we want to blur
Bitmap outBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), Config.ARGB_8888);
//Instantiate a new Renderscript
RenderScript rs = RenderScript.create(getApplicationContext());
//Create an Intrinsic Blur Script using the Renderscript
ScriptIntrinsicBlur blurScript = ScriptIntrinsicBlur.create(rs, Element.U8_4(rs));
