Android Studio - Run application without launcher activity

So like everyone else, I moved to Android Studio and encountered issues. My current issue - Android Studio won't let me run an application without a launch-able activity in the Manifest, for example, my application Pro key which isn't suppose to be launch-able and runs great with Eclipse. Obviously it's not suppose to run but is there any way to install it directly from Studio? Solved In Run/Debug Configurations (just next to the launch button in the toolbar) you can manage your application configurations. There you should be able to specify whether you want to launch an Activity or not. In Run/Debug Configurations in General -> Launch Options -> Launch select Nothing like this For the case you mention, editing the 'Defaults' run configuration may not result in a runnable/installable app (at Android Studio 0.2.3, at least). Instead, it is possible to run/install by defining a new run configuration: Run -...

Texture from Assets folder to Texture2D and the save?

I have a Texture in the Assets folder with (Texture Type = Advanced, Read/Write Enabled = true, Max Size = 512, Format = RGB 24 bit). Now I want to read this texture and then copy the pixels into another texture2d and save that. private Texture2D sourceImg; ... Texture2D tex = new Texture2D(512, 512, TextureFormat.RGB24, false); tex.SetPixels(sourceImg.GetPixels(0,0,512,512)); tex.Apply(); byte[] png = tex.EncodeToPNG(); File.WriteAllBytes(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Screenshot.png", png); I don't know, why this simple code is not working? When I add the new tex to a quad with: quad.renderer.material.mainTexture = tex; It works. Solved OK, I solved it. Just do this: Go to Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> Other Settings and change Write Access to External. Thanks! Works for me. Suggest change this: File.WriteAllBytes(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Screenshot.png", png); by a custom output folder, li...

Imitate join for NoSQL document database

Are there any workarounds to execute join-like query with NoSQL document database? Example: We need to select last month articles by users with rating more than thousand. SQL solution is SELECT a.* FROM Articles as a INNER JOIN Users as u ON a.UserId = u.Id WHERE a.Date > (Now - Month) AND u.Rating > 1000 I can imagine several NoSQL solutions. First is two queries solution: Retrieve users with rating more than 1000 Retrieve last month articles for these users I don't like it as I have to make two queries and I have to retrieve all users with rating > 1000 (what if I have 1kk of users?) The other NoSQL solution which comes to my mind is denormalization. But I am not big fan of it. I would be not against of putting comments collection to post entity (because comments belong to post), but I don't like to put user inside article or articles inside user. Are there any other solutions? Solved You can do that using Multi Maps / Reduce indexes with Rave...
