There are many hidden features like handy shortcuts, live templates, file templates, predefined project structures, code generator plug-ins, customization, and more. We also have a database inspector, layout inspector, profiler, and more to be productive at runtime.

Around 100,000 people are gathered around the Supreme Council and TV tower, fearlessly opposing the Soviet Army. If the Red Army wanted to win this fight, they had to commit mass murder, as the people were not going to stop defending their homeland. Ironically, one of the critical events that helped to raise awareness about the on-going annexation was done with the help of a TV studio that came on air unexpectedly from the 2nd biggest city, Kaunas.

Android Studio also provides tooling support for several libraries such as a navigation editor to view an application’s navigation graph and a motion editor to implement effective animations and transitions in a fancy way.Protestors standing in front of the TV tower, January 13th.

As developers, we are fortunate to have a powerful tool like Android Studio, but you should know how to use it productively.

A technician of the studio was calling for someone to help to broadcast the current situation in as many languages as possible. He wanted the world to know about the Soviet army and tanks killing unarmed people in Lithuania. Within an hour, the studio linked up with professors and other volunteers that spoke different languages. While a threatening phone call from the Soviet army division of Kaunas was received, by 4 in the morning, a Swedish news station finally saw the broadcast and started to broadcast the news to the world.

Although it may seem like a small event, this event exposed a lot about the USSR and showed just how strong unity is. More importantly, it showed just how vulnerable was the expansionist empire. Losing its puppet states in Eastern Europe lead them to make decisions such as this one. An attempt to regain one of the nations that declared independence from USSR legally, Lithuania, was a sign of desperation and just how debilitating everything was in the communist regime. This gave other countries that were illegally annexed encouragement to seek freedom, and, ultimately, this sent the Soviet Union to collapse.

Countries, such as Poland and Latvia, organised solidarity protests the next day to condemn the actions of the Soviet Union. Undoubtedly, the resistance by Lithuanians and international pressure is what pushed the Soviet Union to compromise and make an agreement with the Lithuanian Supreme Council.The Soviet Union had a power position over Lithuania and the consequences of the blockade to the extent that in January the Supreme Council decided to increase prices. For the Red Army to annexe the nation, they needed a justification. It was done by a set-up propaganda campaign, tells the findings of the Humans Right Watch. It led the Russophone population to believe they were being discriminated. Soviet, Polish, and other workers at Vilnius factories started to protest the government’s consumer goods price hikes and what they saw as ethnic discrimination. It was enough of a reason for communists, and five days later, the most unfair stand-off began.“Brother Lithuanians! The nationalist and separatist government, which confronted the people has been overthrown! Go [home] to your parents and children!”-Lithuanian Communist Party leader J. JermalavičiusMany Android developers think that using HTTPS can make their communication with servers secure. But that’s not the case. Many hackers interfere with communications to mislead servers and clients. This is known as a middle man attack.

2 A.M. Armoured trucks and tanks surround the Radio and Television Committee building and the TV tower. Shots are fired towards the workers of the building, and soon, the TV tower is occupied. The words by the communists are shouted out through the speaker:

When she finished speaking, all I could offer were my condolences for her loss, and an apology for how my decision to avoid contact had hurt her. The other two women who had accompanied her for support, thanked me for listening, as did Danielle’s mother, and we parted ways.
