**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 13 02:59:58 2012 Jul 13 03:01:18 Could it be because there are too many items in my view? Jul 13 03:05:08 Does anyone know if it is possible at all, to simulate the picture that the simulator is taking? Jul 13 03:06:38 what? Jul 13 03:07:04 I think he means can you plug a webcam into your app to see how the picture comes out Jul 13 03:07:43 Either a web cam or tell it to use a file. Jul 13 03:09:42 sorry i dont know Jul 13 03:11:50 guys a bunch of my items on my UI disappeared, i tried reverting the changes before they disappeared and theyre still gone :/ Jul 13 03:15:40 Does anyone know the maximum number of UI elements? Jul 13 03:16:52 it's a very bad sign that you are asking that Jul 13 03:19:46 haha Jul 13 03:19:51 i recognise that Jul 13 03:19:57 but its because my app has so many buttons Jul 13 03:20:01 and other things Jul 13 03:20:59 maybe 100 valve buttons each of which have approximately 2 buttons, an edit text and a TextView and a few nested layouts Jul 13 03:21:13 sounds like a nightmare Jul 13 03:21:19 and it is Jul 13 03:22:09 Belacan: set layout weight to 1 for each UI elements on your screen, and you might be able to see them! :D Jul 13 03:22:49 napster thanks for your reply, I was able to see them before i put the 3rd tab in, then 3/4 on my second tab disappeared Jul 13 03:23:04 of* Jul 13 03:23:37 I have four tabs, is it possible to split this UI into 4 somehow? Jul 13 03:23:46 Belacan: ok, so you use a tab activity? Jul 13 03:24:03 let me show yopu\ Jul 13 03:24:18 Belacan: I hate tab activity so I use viewflippers to create tabs Jul 13 03:24:40 ohh Jul 13 03:24:41 interesting Jul 13 03:24:47 this is what i use Jul 13 03:24:47 http://pastebin.com/E9x297Rx Jul 13 03:25:23 Does the tabhost load everything at once? Jul 13 03:25:34 and sets things invisible when theyre not used? Jul 13 03:25:37 something liek that? Jul 13 03:26:26 Belacan: Ah, you are using a TabHost without a TabActivity right? Jul 13 03:26:27 so before I added content into tab3 it was working fine Jul 13 03:26:46 You might be right? Jul 13 03:26:57 Should i put a TabActivity in there? Jul 13 03:27:09 One of the annoying things is all my XML is in one page Jul 13 03:27:15 if i could split it up that would be a lot easier Jul 13 03:27:36 if I use a non-uiThread to call UIThread.setContentView(id), why am I getting a CalledFromWrongThreadException? Jul 13 03:27:41 Belacan: Not necessarily, but you need to get the local activity manager and dispatch it, let me get you some code. Jul 13 03:29:58 I'm not sure this will help but take a look : https://gist.github.com/3102526 Jul 13 03:30:34 Cool, thanks very much napster! Jul 13 03:30:40 i am trying to profile my app. only the main thread is showing in traceview (i am using the Debug class to generate the trace file). I should see info from two other threads. whats up? Jul 13 03:30:42 its much appreciated Jul 13 03:31:24 So thats how you create a local activity manager Jul 13 03:31:43 what does it do? Jul 13 03:32:05 I just create it and it could help manage everything? Jul 13 03:34:14 I have Threads A (UIThread) and B. If B calls A.setContentView(id), why am I getting CalledFromWrongThreadException? Jul 13 03:35:24 Belacan: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager.html Jul 13 03:36:07 Belacan: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LocalActivityManager.html Jul 13 03:36:54 themirror: calling a method on a Thread _object_ is not the same as having the method called _by that thread_. Jul 13 03:37:13 i don't think that's his issue Jul 13 03:37:20 you can only handle UI stuffo n the UI thread Jul 13 03:37:49 Belacan: This is exactly what you do :) - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TabHost.html#setup(android.app.LocalActivityManager) Jul 13 03:37:50 ryanm: i see. how can i get UI thread to change it on command of Thread B? Jul 13 03:38:18 or wait oh Jul 13 03:38:20 cool cool thanks! Jul 13 03:38:23 View.post or Activity.runOnUiThread would both work Jul 13 03:38:29 maybe he is calling it on the thread object Jul 13 03:39:58 yeah in your activity, themirror, define a method like callback(){ runOnUiThread(new Runnable { public void run() { ThisActivity.setContentView(id)l; } }); Jul 13 03:40:05 if A is an activity, you could do A.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { A.setContentView(id); }}); Jul 13 03:40:17 or that would also work Jul 13 03:40:20 ryanm: ok ill investigate that, thanks so far Jul 13 03:40:45 anyone? Jul 13 03:40:50 but call it on the instance of the activity actually Jul 13 03:41:01 A.this.setContentView(id) Jul 13 03:41:43 I was assuming A was an instance. Not sure if that was a correct assumption Jul 13 03:44:56 yeah hard to tell with the vague name and capitlization Jul 13 03:45:01 agreed Jul 13 03:45:08 and the way he posed the question Jul 13 03:46:26 that's one thing that is a little sketchy for newcomers, the fact that you don't instantiate activities and hold a reference to it.. a lot of people seem to get tripped by that Jul 13 03:46:39 don't realize there's an object instance of it living Jul 13 03:46:57 that, and the constant need for a Context Jul 13 03:48:59 yeah that is a little tricky cause a lot ofp eople default to using the activity as context and that can cause leaks Jul 13 03:55:19 so when using Debug to generate trace files for profiling, do i need to call Debug.startMethodTracing() in each thread? Jul 13 03:59:45 hey guys, kinda just starting out, and I was wondering how, in ADT, to create a new custom View. Is there a graphical way to do it, or do I just create a new class and hack together the xml files for it? Jul 13 04:03:13 i think i will hate java Jul 13 04:03:49 i shall develop C, and after that screw it, good night Jul 13 04:03:51 IsmAvatar: you have do it in java, but you can preview it in ADT, as far as I know Jul 13 04:05:33 i read an article about android, it was a few years old. are java applications still the norm? Jul 13 04:05:55 is there a new article i should read? Jul 13 04:06:10 i am a toolchain developer Jul 13 04:06:14 Yes, you should be developing in Jul 13 04:06:21 Java Jul 13 04:06:27 Read the docs: d.android.com Jul 13 04:08:18 i specialize is hardening the base system and toolchain, and that's a problem with java applications Jul 13 04:08:41 ashes, uh explain? Jul 13 04:09:06 ashes, hardening the base system? toolchain? Jul 13 04:09:29 sound big Jul 13 04:10:17 caverdude: position independent executables, stack protection, auditing, string fuction checking Jul 13 04:10:35 function Jul 13 04:10:54 like openbsd Jul 13 04:11:45 ashes ok, with java you are working inside a vm.. so no low level stuff, as far as I know on android, though java has a native interface, not sure if it can be used on android Jul 13 04:12:45 yes, android uses java, which has no C language protection options available to me. only options written in C Jul 13 04:12:53 although the android NDK pretty much gives you access to all the native stuff you need Jul 13 04:13:31 if application developers give C source code, then thing change for me Jul 13 04:15:23 mm Jul 13 04:16:15 i'm really talking about cyanogenmod, not android Jul 13 04:16:25 ashes: this isn't really the right place for that Jul 13 04:16:28 try #android-root Jul 13 04:16:34 ok Jul 13 04:16:35 this is for application development Jul 13 04:51:46 Hi all Jul 13 04:52:00 hey Jul 13 04:53:19 so when using Debug to generate trace files for profiling, do i need to call Debug.startMethodTracing() in each thread? presently, i am not, and only one thread is showing up in traceview Jul 13 04:57:17 Is it possible to make tabs start activities within a main activity? Jul 13 05:04:53 Belacan: if i understand that correctly, yes Jul 13 05:05:31 unless you mean having an activity displaying within another activity Jul 13 05:05:36 is it as simple as adding 'new Intent(this, Activity.class); in the line? Jul 13 05:05:39 yeah Jul 13 05:05:41 thats what i mean Jul 13 05:05:54 basically i have an interface with tabs Jul 13 05:06:01 I want the overall interface to remain the same Jul 13 05:06:03 in which case, you can't do that. You should look at Fragments to do that Jul 13 05:06:06 but the tabs to change activities Jul 13 05:06:31 Or would there be any downside in reproducing the overall interface in the different activities? Jul 13 05:06:32 no you can have the tab change to another activity Jul 13 05:07:19 while keeping some of the original activity running? Jul 13 05:07:27 Belacan: If I were you: http://viewpagerindicator.com/ Jul 13 05:07:44 i'll send you an apk, run it and see if thats the behaviour you want Jul 13 05:07:45 I stand corrected, you apparently can nest them Jul 13 05:07:57 Fragments and tabs supported across versions Jul 13 05:08:13 sweeeeeet Jul 13 05:08:23 thanks, much appreciated. Jul 13 05:09:18 Knossos: whats the difference between that and tabs? Jul 13 05:09:51 Compatible back to ~1.6, perhaps even lower Jul 13 05:10:29 Fragments are a 3.0 introduction Jul 13 05:10:33 Belacan: http://cl.ly/0c0Q1u0I0s112L0X3R3Q Jul 13 05:17:10 f2prateek: thats interesting Jul 13 05:17:17 but are there any nested tabs? Jul 13 05:17:23 *nested activities Jul 13 05:17:47 thers a tab host with two activities Jul 13 05:18:02 on clicking any category Jul 13 05:18:09 a new activity is launched Jul 13 05:18:14 then select the offer Jul 13 05:18:14 If you wanted to, could you add an interface around the tab host which didnt change? Jul 13 05:18:19 again new activity is launched Jul 13 05:18:35 interesting Jul 13 05:18:56 Yeah its something like that i suppose Jul 13 05:21:53 so you want nested tabs< like two tabs at the first level, and two tabs held in the first tab? Jul 13 05:22:35 yo dawg i heard you like tabs Jul 13 05:23:25 lol Jul 13 05:28:13 Okay, I've been fighting with this for a while: I am trying to make sure a layout (inflated) scales up (layout_height="match_parent") with a *specific* aspect ratio. Jul 13 05:29:02 the images are all scaleType="centerInside" and run the gamut of dimensions (cropped pages, everything from checks to receipts) Jul 13 05:29:27 And one of them is an xml-defined shape drawable. Jul 13 05:29:54 They're all appearing in a Gallery, but I can't seem to get reliable access to the sizes to scale them with. Jul 13 05:30:08 I feel like I'm missing something. Jul 13 05:45:21 Anyone heard of Skout.com? Jul 13 05:47:36 is set content view different from starting an activity? Jul 13 05:48:08 From what I understand setContentView() sets the layout Jul 13 05:48:15 an activity is started with an intent Jul 13 05:48:22 Belacan: Yes. All activities (that I've seen) must call setContentView as part of their own creation. Jul 13 05:48:42 but setContentView() doesn't start the activity Jul 13 05:48:49 It's just a necessary component to an activity Jul 13 05:48:54 If i were to use tabs to set different content views this means that the rest of the UI elements will be running within the activity right Jul 13 05:49:06 in the background Jul 13 05:55:17 I' Jul 13 05:55:30 I'm not sure what you're asking, but it sounds like a job for TabHost, FragmentActivity, and Fragments Jul 13 05:59:35 ` Jul 13 06:02:41 btw setContentView is not always necessary, only if the activity needs to show something to the user then it is Jul 13 06:03:35 I'll show you my user Jul 13 06:17:57 found a good tutorial on the problem here you go: http://www.androidhive.info/2011/08/android-tab-layout-tutorial/ Jul 13 06:18:06 if anyone else doesnt know and wants to.. Jul 13 06:18:12 thanks for your help chaps! Jul 13 06:38:17 sup everyone Jul 13 06:42:42 SUp f00l Jul 13 06:44:50 Is it possible to play two audio in parallel using the media framework? Jul 13 06:51:51 anyone know where i can get a question answered about the youtube API? Jul 13 06:52:55 quit Jul 13 06:52:57 forbex: have you tried stuff like #google or #googleapi / googleapis / google-api ... et ? Jul 13 06:52:59 lol Jul 13 06:56:04 How can find out what programs/packages are dependant on another one (doubleTwist, some media library database). I'm cleaning my sd card and wondering what's safe to remove. Perhaps everything i don't recognize is safe? Jul 13 07:07:14 I have match_parent in the width of my linear layout. It's a vertical one, it takes up the width of the whole screen. I have two edittexts too that both are match_parent, without any padding or margin but they are still not the width of the screen Jul 13 07:07:18 They are like 1/3 Jul 13 07:10:52 Is there an easy way to simulate an alpha-transition animation on a text view, in the custom view displaying that text through on draw? Jul 13 07:13:33 hey Jul 13 07:13:51 registeredservicescache seems to remove my service on reboot on 4.1.1 Jul 13 07:14:05 https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/java/android/content/pm/RegisteredServicesCache.java the relevant part starts around line 322 Jul 13 07:14:10 how do I debug this? Jul 13 07:14:18 do I need to recompile android? Jul 13 07:14:48 I'd love to be able to set some breakpoints somewhere or even just get more verbose logging... Jul 13 07:21:22 Funny, the width of the edittext is larger when I build with ant compared to eclipse Jul 13 07:21:34 mots: you mean the service becomes unavailable after reboot? Jul 13 07:21:45 appel1: yes Jul 13 07:22:04 https://redmine.limun.org/issues/153#note-12 is the relevant logcat output Jul 13 07:25:52 appel1: any experience with these types of issues? Jul 13 07:26:20 mots: no, but I can reproduce it with haxsync on my gnex :\ Jul 13 07:27:13 oh well, that's something, I guess :D Jul 13 07:27:16 so can lots of others Jul 13 07:27:19 but not me Jul 13 07:27:25 which makes it hard to fix Jul 13 07:27:45 would you be willing to give me the logcat output of a few testing apks? Jul 13 07:29:08 mots: have you set it to prefer to install to external storage? Jul 13 07:29:46 I didn't set any preference so far, but I also suspected that this might somehow be relevant Jul 13 07:30:09 as some users reported getting "Could not install on USB storage or SD card" errors when trying to install on JB Jul 13 07:30:47 I now added android:installLocation="internalOnly" , but according to android doc this should be default anyways Jul 13 07:39:46 hi, on an android 4 avd, I see too many logcat lines like this: I/Choreographer(642): Skipped 31 frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread. Jul 13 07:40:01 the same code is working normally in 2.1 Jul 13 07:40:39 anyone has the same issue? what is all these 'Choreographer' stuff, is this ok to just let it there? Jul 13 07:41:50 I'd say the important message is the second half Jul 13 07:42:18 Android 4 tries harder to keep the UI responsive by pushing blocking operations off the UI thread Jul 13 07:42:21 they're all the same except the number of frames o.O Jul 13 07:42:39 you're doing something like network or file access on your UI thread Jul 13 07:43:21 LOLLLLLLLLLL Jul 13 07:43:29 has anyone here had one of those moments? Jul 13 07:43:53 so I need to scan for network/file io usage on UI Thread, anything else? I'd say the error message is not so helpful in this case Jul 13 07:44:30 these moments being? Jul 13 07:44:55 where you wake up naked next to a dead transexual prostitute? Jul 13 07:44:58 If so, then yes. Jul 13 07:45:04 One of those moments when you refactor your entire code, learning about different activity arrangements within tabs, spending literally six hours on this, when your code is just about to work again you realise what caused the problem in the first place. Using android:width = "match_parent" Jul 13 07:45:31 instead of "wrap_content" Jul 13 07:45:37 android i should never have doubted you :/ Jul 13 07:45:45 It happens to the best of us Jul 13 07:45:49 any developer goes through those Jul 13 07:45:55 s/any/all Jul 13 07:46:02 s/developer/developers Jul 13 07:46:13 lol Jul 13 07:46:15 s/goes/go Jul 13 07:46:22 should have just re-written that sentence Jul 13 07:46:29 lol im lost Jul 13 07:46:35 Is there a maximum width of an edittext or is my setup just buggy Jul 13 07:46:50 android has no bugs Jul 13 07:46:50 I have match_parent and the parent layout is the whole width but the edittext isnt Jul 13 07:46:52 take it from me Jul 13 07:46:57 lol Jul 13 07:47:01 ahh, s/word/replacementword is a vi command to look for an occurence of a string in a file and replace it Jul 13 07:47:03 dont doubt it Jul 13 07:47:15 very geeky Jul 13 07:47:18 yes Jul 13 07:47:25 zook Jul 13 07:47:30 are you sure its not within another layout? Jul 13 07:48:02 occurrence* Jul 13 07:48:12 I wish my Nexus 7 would HTFU Jul 13 07:48:19 anyone from Australia received one yet? Jul 13 07:48:21 Naish: more like ed - s// predates vi :) Jul 13 07:48:28 Ive got a galaxy tab 2 Jul 13 07:48:32 but it belongs to the company Jul 13 07:49:01 Before my time :D Jul 13 07:49:03 Naish: also, what's the tax/shipping like in .au? Jul 13 07:49:11 I paid $319 all up Jul 13 07:49:16 includes tax + shipping Jul 13 07:49:20 that's the 16GB one Jul 13 07:49:20 for 16GB? Jul 13 07:49:29 yeh Jul 13 07:50:09 romainguy: thought you might find it interesting all the different kinds of applications your android is being used in, im developing an app that will control various parts of an offshore cementing system used on drilling rigs Jul 13 07:50:10 presumably 250 or so without tax/shipping? Jul 13 07:50:23 any easy way for make a left panel in apps, like in google+? Jul 13 07:50:43 yeh Jul 13 07:52:04 oh, leftnavigationbar library; i will test it Jul 13 07:52:47 Belacan I am positive Jul 13 07:52:54 that's a lot of shipping, assuming 10% GST... Jul 13 07:53:11 Its a linear layout as the parent one. That one has a backgorund and covers the complete width Jul 13 07:53:19 edittext does however not Jul 13 07:54:41 Can you post your code pls :))) Jul 13 07:55:45 android is not buggy Jul 13 07:55:54 dont doubt it Jul 13 07:55:58 i just made that mistake Jul 13 08:00:14 Belacan you have pm :/ Jul 13 08:00:19 hmm Jul 13 08:00:20 i got it Jul 13 08:00:30 and what is the length of your parents width Jul 13 08:00:31 ;) Jul 13 08:01:11 match_parent Jul 13 08:01:20 so one of them is correct Jul 13 08:01:23 The gray part in the SS is the linearlayout parent Jul 13 08:01:24 and the other is too small Jul 13 08:01:34 ahh Jul 13 08:01:36 i cant access the ss Jul 13 08:01:54 the internet is blocked for that site Jul 13 08:02:05 ok try this Jul 13 08:02:09 go to your graphical layout Jul 13 08:02:17 click on your edittext Jul 13 08:02:22 where does the blue box extend to Jul 13 08:03:10 hum, in that interface it has the small size Jul 13 08:03:16 Trying to move it to match parent just snaps it back Jul 13 08:03:48 see what happens when you switch the order Jul 13 08:03:52 put the smaller one above Jul 13 08:04:28 they have the same size Jul 13 08:05:12 ixc: http://android.amberfog.com/?p=758 Jul 13 08:05:30 thanks Jul 13 08:05:51 Problem found Belacan Jul 13 08:05:59 The background of the linearlayout Jul 13 08:06:09 what about it Jul 13 08:06:16 Its a 9 patch Jul 13 08:06:22 If I removed the background it matches parent Jul 13 08:06:30 AHAH Jul 13 08:06:33 good job Jul 13 08:06:48 a word of advice Jul 13 08:06:54 never doubt android Jul 13 08:07:21 :) Jul 13 08:10:58 If somebody have a clue about my problem (javascript with webview) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11448284/difference-between-loadurl-and-loaddata-with-javascript Jul 13 08:20:56 In a custom viewgroup extending linearlayout, I am adding some custom views programatically. I would like to space them apart equally (like layout weight) where should I go about doing this? Jul 13 08:41:20 hey Jul 13 08:41:50 Hello Jul 13 08:42:04 anyone else had this problem: i have a scroll view which i've subclassed and i've made it so you can swipe to view the next item, but because I'm overriding the onTouch to do this and returning true, on my galaxy s2 the over scroll fade gets stuck Jul 13 08:42:15 it's fine on every other device, just ICS on my S2 Jul 13 08:43:42 when i click on home key and then application icon at that time my application will start from first activity rather than last activity.can any body know how to open last activity which is running? Jul 13 08:46:50 is there a way to get a more sophisticated error message than: "android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConstraintException: error code 19: constraint failed" Jul 13 08:47:02 hahahaha Jul 13 08:47:08 thats got to be the question of the day Jul 13 08:47:37 would you rather a talking paper clip pop out? Jul 13 08:47:49 Belacan: i would like to know which contraint failed ... Jul 13 08:48:07 i which row Jul 13 08:48:08 is there a big list of the error messages? Jul 13 08:48:13 usually you can get hints Jul 13 08:49:24 Belacan: are you reffering to the stacktrace? Jul 13 08:51:57 Belacan: the reason i am asking that is because sqlite provides better error messages Jul 13 08:52:12 it just seems that android handles all contraint violations the same way Jul 13 08:52:23 an that's just ooo Jul 13 08:54:16 "Error: column foo is not unique" for instance Jul 13 09:00:50 http://theoatmeal.com/blog/apps Jul 13 09:01:47 so true Jul 13 09:02:02 hello, when i click on home key and then application icon at that time my application will start from first activity rather than last activity.can any body know how to open last activity which is running?

Jul 13 09:26:43 4.0.3 Jul 13 09:28:42 The ABS themes show up in the Layout Editor, but I can't set them using android:theme Jul 13 09:30:12 Hey Hi I was using JSON method to find out the longitude and latitude of a place Jul 13 09:30:32 but I am getting a error saying JSON Array can not be resolved as a type Jul 13 09:30:42 I had made all the imports Jul 13 09:31:10 try JSONArray Jul 13 09:32:07 Ivru, ? Jul 13 09:34:56 Ivru, actually earlier I was trying to do it by Geocoder but when ever I trying it in emulator it is saying Jul 13 09:35:02 service not available Jul 13 09:35:18 so I tried with json but still throwing runtime exceptions Jul 13 09:36:25 niteshnarayanlal: need the json string. Put in on a pastebin Jul 13 09:36:32 and the code you are using Jul 13 09:37:59 Ivru, http://fpaste.org/rTY3/ Jul 13 09:38:34 I can also access the ABS classes Jul 13 09:38:38 but I cannot set the theme Jul 13 09:38:41 this is very confusing Jul 13 09:38:54 Ivru, http://fpaste.org/DSdt/ :Logcat Jul 13 09:39:06 are you sure "results" is an array Jul 13 09:39:23 niteshnarayanlal: line 87 and 91 you are doing.getJSONObject(0) instead of getJSONArray Jul 13 09:39:45 that stack trace doesn't match with your problem Jul 13 09:40:07 yep Jul 13 09:40:30 if you want a JSONArray you must use getJSONArray et not a simple get or getJSONObject Jul 13 09:40:44 he is Jul 13 09:40:52 the initial get("results") is being casted to jsonarray Jul 13 09:41:26 I'm assuming the json looks like {"results":[{"geometry":{"location":{"lat", "lng"}}]} Jul 13 09:41:40 Ivru, I was following this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5205650/geocoder-getfromlocation-throws-ioexception-on-android-emulator Jul 13 09:41:43 :P Jul 13 09:41:53 * niteshnarayanlal heads for some more research :) Jul 13 09:42:34 niteshnarayanlal: follow this one : http://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/package-summary.html Jul 13 09:46:34 What do I need to do to be able to have two versions of the same app installed at the same time? Change the name? Or the package-names? Jul 13 09:46:56 package name Jul 13 09:48:07 Ivru, the thing is getJSONArray takes integer as the parameter , but second time a string is been passed Jul 13 09:49:26 I mean lon = ((JSONArray)jsonObject.get("results")).getJSONArray(0) Jul 13 09:49:27 .getJSONArray("geometry").getJSONArray("location") Jul 13 09:49:27 .getDouble("lng"); Jul 13 09:49:50 will show the error as in second parameter I ma passing geometry which is a string Jul 13 09:49:55 niteshnarayanlal: i don't even know what does your json looks like Jul 13 09:50:36 Ivru, I am trying to find the longitude and latitude of a location entered by the user using google API Jul 13 09:50:36 XeruX: the package name Jul 13 09:50:40 it's most likely that the first getJSONArray should be getJSONObject Jul 13 09:50:51 JSONArray=[1,2,3] Jul 13 09:51:06 JSONObject = {"key": 42} Jul 13 09:51:45 might have gotten the JSON syntax wrong for the object Jul 13 09:51:48 but you know what I mean Jul 13 09:53:29 MDijkstra, http://fpaste.org/rTY3/ have a look at this please Jul 13 09:53:46 any simple way for manage sqlite database with multithread ? Jul 13 09:54:12 singleton + synchronizes? any better? Jul 13 09:55:03 niteshnarayanlal: ((JSONArray)jsonObject.get("results")) Jul 13 09:55:08 ^ that makes no sense Jul 13 09:55:23 it's either an array or an object Jul 13 09:55:29 you can't convert it by casting it Jul 13 09:55:54 or wait Jul 13 09:55:59 nevermind that :) Jul 13 09:56:09 oh ok actually I am trying this json for the first time so was referring blogs etc Jul 13 09:56:16 nah, that's correct Jul 13 09:56:18 I missed something Jul 13 09:56:24 ohok Jul 13 09:56:36 you should print out the raw json Jul 13 09:56:41 MDijkstra, http://fpaste.org/DSdt/ Jul 13 09:56:50 I am getting these runtime exceptions Jul 13 09:56:52 oh, lol Jul 13 09:57:05 niteshnarayanlal: you're blocking your main thread fetching the json over the network Jul 13 09:57:12 that's not allowed Jul 13 09:57:31 niteshnarayanlal: have a look at AsyncTask Jul 13 09:58:00 that will allow you to do it in the background so you don't get this exception Jul 13 09:59:43
