Background:
Check Network:
Clash is connected and I could visit google.com via Chrome on Mac

I read the question:
Android Studio fails to install update (error : Failed to read or create install properties file.)
On Mac, it seems that Android Studio already has the admin permission.

I open the Android Studio icon in the Dock, does it mean that I run the AS as administrator?
I could download ndk and here is my current sdk:

Solution 1:
Use: sudo chown $USER: $ANDROID_HOME -R
My solution is setting folder permissions (and sub-folders using -R).
Root cause:
The permission of my Android SDK directory was set to write only by root so android-studio was unable to write any changes.
Detailed Process:
Take $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools for example:
sudo chown $USER: $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
Before executing the command line:
bin ls -la $ANDROID_HOME/

Then we do the update in SDK management:
before and after install sdk result screenshot
Solution 2:
Run Android Studio as administration.
sudo /Applications/Android\ Studio\ 4.1.0.app/Contents/MacOS/studio
It could also install the android sdk update successfully

Create shadow with blur, color and Y offset

I'm trying to create a shadow with these specific properties:
Blur , Y offset , color. (specified by the customer, using Zeplin to generate layout designs: link )
But I can't do this with "elevation" property only.
the only place I found these attributes at was by creating a 9-patch image using this website:
http://inloop.github.io/shadow4android
but the problem with it that it resizes my xml element(cardview,button...)
is there any other way to create shadows in Android?

You can convert png image to SVG.
Then you can convert that SVG to vector drawable in android.(you can use below mentioned online converter)
http://a-student.github.io/SvgToVectorDrawableConverter.Web/
relevant drawable for your example image is shown below. (it is a little bit different) you can do your own by following the above steps.
**But there are some limitations and please provide png which can be convertible to svg properly.

Random "Resource not found exception"

I have some AnimatedVectorDrawables that I've been working with no fail for a month or so. Today I created 2 more of these avds and one of them causes this "Resource$NotFoundException".
I am accessing it the exact same way as my other avds, it is in the same location as the other avds, and I created it the same way as the other avds. The only thing that is special about this one is a "startOffset" on one of the objectAnimators. I tried removing that line but the error persists. I have tried renaming the file, copy pasting the xml into another animation that I know is working, but these all cause a crash, which leads me to think it's something within the resource xml, but I can't spot anything.
Here is the stack trace:
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Drawable com.swerly.mypackage:drawable/test_avd with resource ID #0x7f0700ce

I figured it out. Apparently the software I was using left the "pathData" fields empty on this export for some reason -_-

How to make border of LinearLayout in android as per following design

I have uses shape drawable to get rounded coreners but adding a semicircle in between seems tricky.

you can use vector asset studio to draw a custom shape and use it as background for your layout
https://developer.android.com/studio/write/vector-asset-studio.html

You can use Vector Drawable to achieve your end result. I used potrace to convert your image into svg format which is included at the bottom.
Use the Android Studio to create a vector drawable from this svg file.

saveEventually cause stackoverflow crash

I'm using parse 1.5.1 sdk for Android and all just worked well till recent.
We did some table cleaning on our parse server database before going to production and ever since we are getting a stackoverflow crash every time we try to make 'saveEventually' to a specific table.
It looks like some kind of recursive happens on parse (by looking on the logs) android code.
Any clue what can fix it? (by the way, when using 'saveInBackground' it is working well)
Here is the stacktrace:

I had the same problem when trying to assign a ParseUser to one of the fields of the ParseObject being saved.
When initializing the ParseObject I used "ParseObject.create()". It was fixed when I switched initialized the object doing "new ParseObject()" instead.
