Question

if (getListView().getChildCount() == 0)
                getActivity().findViewById(androi         


        

Answer 1

If code is being maintained in Git repository and intellij IDE along with Git plugin is being used to browse the code then i have found the following way very intuitive:

1. Open the file in intellij
2. Go to context menu -> Git -> Annotate.
3. New window will appear where each line in new window tells who made that line commit.
