New features in Admin SDK Custom user attributes and opening up access to all domain users

The Admin SDK provides a comprehensive directory experience for Google for Work customers to help them meet specific business needs around data storage for customers. Here are some important updates to this SDK.
Custom attributes in the user’s profile
Now available is a new feature in the Directory API which allows you to add custom attributes for your users. For instance, you could store the projects your users work on, their desk number, job level, hiring date — whatever makes sense for your business.
Once the custom attributes for your domain have been defined, they behave just like regular fields in the user profile. You can get and set them for your users and also perform searches on custom fields (e.g. “all employees that work on the shinyNewApp in Hyderabad”).
Custom attributes can be of different data types; they can be single- or multi-valued. You can configure whether they are “public” i.e. visible to everyone on the domain, or “private” i.e. visible only to admins and the users themselves.
Read access to all domain users
Historically, only admins have been able to access the data in the Admin SDK. Beginning today, any user (not just admins) will now be able to call the Directory API to read the profile of any user on the domain (of course, we will respect ACLing settings and profile sharing settings).
We hope that you will be able to use this new feature to build business applications (e.g. corporate yellow pages, expense approval, vacation management, workflow applications, etc.) that can be used by all your users.
Please feel free to go through our documentation to go learn more about the Admin SDK, and specifically the Directory API. Happy hacking!

Android beginner tutorial Part 39 Custom Toast notifications
In this tutorial we will learn how to create our own custom Toast notifications.
The activity_main.xml Activity layout will remain the same as in the previous tutorial:
To create a custom Toast, we need to write a layout xml for it. We can then apply it to a Toast using a LayoutInflater.
Create a new layout xml file. If youre using Eclipse IDE, go to File > New > Android XML File. Call the file custom_toast.xml.
Inside the layout Im going to make a simple LinearLayout container, which contains an ImageView and a TextView. Remember to give the container an id. Set the src of the ImageView to a picture in your project (I set it to the ic_launcher.png picture). Give an id to the TextView.
Now we need to apply this layout to the Toast notification. As I said before, well need to use a LayoutInflater class instance to do that. An inflater can extract layouts from XML files and lets us work with them using code. To extract the layout, we need to declare an inflater and then call its inflate() function. Provide the layout resource and the id of the main container in that layout:
Set the text by refering to the "text" TextView inside the layout:
The rest of the code simply creates the Toast and sets its values. Use setView() method to apply the layout.
Here is the full MainActivity.java class code:
The results look like this:

The activity_main.xml Activity layout will remain the same as in the previous tutorial:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/testButton"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Make a toast"
/>
</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"

Now we need to apply this layout to the Toast notification. As I said before, well need to use a LayoutInflater class instance to do that. An inflater can extract layouts from XML files and lets us work with them using code. To extract the layout, we need to declare an inflater and then call its inflate() function. Provide the layout resource and the id of the main container in that layout:
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.toast_layout));
Set the text by refering to the "text" TextView inside the layout:
TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("Hello from KirCode!");
The rest of the code simply creates the Toast and sets its values. Use setView() method to apply the layout.
Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();
Here is the full MainActivity.java class code:
package com.kircode.codeforfood_test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
private Context context;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.testButton);
context = getApplicationContext();
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.toast_layout));
TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("Hello from KirCode!");
Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.show();
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
The results look like this:
