Here is a very simple example of what I would like to do: newmean <- functio...

Unpacking argument lists for ellipsis in R

I am confused by the use of the ellipsis (...) in some functions, i.e. how to pass an object containing the arguments as a single argument.

I could use TextView.length() and find about what the approximate length of string will fit, but since it's multip...

The general form of the callback is an int followed by various parameters whose type depend on the int value.
