**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 21 02:59:58 2013 Jan 21 03:01:46 barque, this channel i'ven oticed isn't as used as much as you'd think Jan 21 03:02:06 you might be better off on stack exchange Jan 21 03:02:08 :S Jan 21 03:02:18 I've went up and down on stackoverflow like crazy Jan 21 03:02:24 sigh... no hope Jan 21 03:02:30 did you ask a ? on SE? Jan 21 03:02:44 stackexchange? ummm Jan 21 03:02:52 overflow* Jan 21 03:02:53 what's the different between that and stackoverflow anyway? Jan 21 03:03:01 exchange is the top level site Jan 21 03:03:06 mhm Jan 21 03:03:08 overflow is a sub site Jan 21 03:03:13 I see.. Jan 21 03:03:21 theres other sites like gaming and ... um... others i don't visit Jan 21 03:03:22 well, I've plowed that place top to bottom Jan 21 03:03:24 no help Jan 21 03:04:10 the usual answers are there: libFFmpeg.so, mediaplayer etc. Jan 21 03:23:36 How would I make a TextView similar to a table of contents, with ellipses separating the title (left aligned) from the page number (right aligned). Jan 21 03:24:11 you'd likely need to progmatically determine the width Jan 21 03:24:18 and insert ellipsis Jan 21 03:24:31 Dammit. Jan 21 03:24:34 I found something that does that when I was googling text scaling to screen size Jan 21 03:24:43 it inserted characters until it ran out of space Jan 21 03:25:06 it was on stack overflow. unfortantely that wasn't what I needed so I didn't read through all of it. Jan 21 03:37:03 mdkess: its pretty easy Jan 21 03:37:36 you make a paint object bound to a textview with proper settings (style, size, etc) and then use a method like getPaintedWidth Jan 21 03:37:46 to test against a string Jan 21 03:38:10 makes sense, lasserix. Thanks. Jan 21 03:38:45 alternatively you might be able to use ellipsis attribute with middle set, then use a textview that spans entire horizon Jan 21 03:39:12 and just append the title . page number with extra white space where it works--might be an easier somewhat hackish way to do it Jan 21 03:39:40 fyi the textview's ellipsis functionality is broken for <3.0 Jan 21 03:40:07 by broken i mean it'll only ever allow two lines of text no matter what you set the limit too Jan 21 03:40:23 (not that this applies in this case but just for future reference) Jan 21 03:43:04 Hey guys... I've got a LazyAdapter going on that will populate my listview with my list_row.xml file... Well, I've used it for quite a while, but I thought... hmm.. let me change it up a bit by adding an extra icon to it if a value in the HashMap for that particular item matched "song"... So, that's all fine and dandy, until I scroll... and once I scroll past those items (and they are no Jan 21 03:43:04 longer visible in the list), then my two new icons disappear !! ha. Here's a pic: http://1upcreativegroup.com/be.png Jan 21 03:45:02 I'm guessing that there still is a LazyAdapter aspect going on, and so it's calling the adapter on scroll... inside there, I'm simply finding the ImageView ... ImageView songIcon = (ImageView) vi.findViewById(R.id.songIcon); and then doing this: Jan 21 03:45:16 if(!game.get(SoundboardActivity.KEY_TYPE).equalsIgnoreCase("song")){ songIcon.setVisibility(songIcon.INVISIBLE); } Jan 21 03:46:51 In otherwords... each item in the HashMap contains: map.put(KEY_TYPE, "clip"); or map.put(KEY_TYPE, "song"); .... and I just want to hide an ImageView for that particular item if it isn't a "song". Make sense? Jan 21 03:51:32 Works if I put an else { visible } line in there. Fine by me. ! Thanks for reading, in any case. Jan 21 04:10:59 I'm trying to use MediaPlayer to play a video on an activity's surfaceview Jan 21 04:11:12 I keep getting IllegalArgumentException - surface has been released Jan 21 04:11:16 what the *hell* is going on? Jan 21 04:11:29 I've trying everything... on prepared listener, surfaceholder Jan 21 04:11:58 * Maziz s Jan 21 04:12:39 Did you try: Jan 21 04:12:39 1. Set the surface view Jan 21 04:12:40 2. Set the path of the video Jan 21 04:12:41 3. Set prepare Jan 21 04:13:01 I'll upload my code Jan 21 04:16:56 http://pastebin.com/dJ4NViPh Jan 21 04:17:17 the stuff you're seeing above the commented line is in onCreate after super.onCreate() Jan 21 04:18:46 http://pastebin.com/PkVu611k Jan 21 04:18:51 that's maybe a better paste Jan 21 04:21:05 ok I tried putting prepare at the end Jan 21 04:21:11 now I get a blank screen... no crash at least Jan 21 04:23:52 hello? Jan 21 04:27:53 i suggest you open up sample for media player Jan 21 04:28:04 ... which? Jan 21 04:28:20 there's media playback on Google's website Jan 21 04:28:23 but that's for audio Jan 21 04:28:34 and any suggestions on the code I uploaded? Jan 21 04:30:20 i think a lot of stuff still missing Jan 21 04:30:32 like checking if the surface is ready and created Jan 21 04:30:39 eh? Jan 21 04:30:43 detecting how to handle when the surface is destroyed and changed Jan 21 04:30:47 The surface is part of the xml Jan 21 04:30:53 surfaceholder callback? Jan 21 04:31:01 open the sample Jan 21 04:31:02 oh so I need surfaceholder callback absolutely? Jan 21 04:31:03 and have a look Jan 21 04:31:06 which sample? Jan 21 04:33:04 "open up the sample" is just as much of a statement as "pick the right solution" Jan 21 04:33:14 or "solve the problem" Jan 21 04:33:43 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/mediaplayer.html Jan 21 04:34:02 sigh, that sampel =>*does*<= =>*not*<= cover video Jan 21 04:34:07 beside it could also be your mp4 file cannot be accessed that causing the illegal exception Jan 21 04:34:08 sample* Jan 21 04:34:21 no it stopped throwing exceptions Jan 21 04:34:26 I placed prepare at the very end Jan 21 04:34:40 I'm gonna try SurfaceHolder.callback Jan 21 04:38:19 just letting you know: Details (1) of this link worked : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11410834/android-sdk-media-player-load-video-stream-from-http-url Jan 21 04:38:28 and yes I needed SurfaceHolder.Callback... thanks for your time anyway Jan 21 04:54:30 is it possible to have action bar items only show on certain action bar tabs Jan 21 05:16:35 DarkIRC2100: yes, have the fragment expose the menu items, not the activity Jan 21 05:21:01 f2prateek: do you know of any example or more explanation? Jan 21 05:21:36 DarkIRC2100: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html#ActionBar Jan 21 05:23:48 When using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and you wanted a device to be able to activate/deactivate whether or not they receive push notifications, would it be appropriate to use register/unregister for that - or would you leave the device registered and incorporate the active/inactive state and toggle code into your app and 3rd party app server? Jan 21 05:25:54 f2prateek: nice thanks, this should work Jan 21 05:37:45 f2prateek: worked perfectly, thanks again man! Jan 21 05:39:01 glad to hear it ;) Jan 21 05:45:25 If I want to replace a single fragment that should cover the whole screen with 2 fragments each taking a portion of the screen...what's the best way to do that? Jan 21 06:20:09 damccull: delete the first fragment, then add the two new fragments, and wrap all that in a transaction? Jan 21 06:23:22 muhoo that's what i thought too. But should I have two containers or one? And if only one how do I decide the sizes of the fragments on screen? Also, my second fragment is not showing up. Jan 21 06:24:56 i dunno, i'd reckon it'd work if you add the full-screen fragment programatically to a view, then delete it later and add the two other fragments to that same view Jan 21 06:25:23 vaguely remember seeing that done Jan 21 06:28:10 damccull: scroll to example Jan 21 06:28:23 slightly more than 2/3 the way down Jan 21 06:28:23 http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html Jan 21 06:28:40 shows how to do two and anticpate non-tablet sized phones for just showing one Jan 21 06:29:26 lasserix, yes Ican do that. Sorry I wasn't clear. I want a fullscreen fragment to appear, then be replaced when its clicked by two fragments. One 2/3 screen, the other takes remainder Jan 21 06:34:15 ok, i think i solved part of my problem. Next question. Jan 21 06:34:41 If I am programmatically adding two items to a relativelayout...how do I specify how they are related to each other? Jan 21 06:37:15 damccull: sounds like you want linearlayout & weights though Jan 21 06:37:26 if one is 2/3 the screen Jan 21 06:38:31 g00s i am using a relativelayout, but should I use framelayouts and just set those up and add fragments to them, or try to programmatically relate the fragments to each other after adding? Jan 21 06:41:00 dunno. i would have used 1 LL and stuffed the 1st fragment in it; then removed that fragment and stuffed the other 2 with the right weights Jan 21 06:44:13 how to make the pointer in JsonReader back to the beginning? Jan 21 07:33:32 In a service, I'm calling LocalBroadcastManager mLBM = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this); Jan 21 07:33:43 But this is throwing a NullPointerException. Jan 21 07:33:47 How do I figure out why? Jan 21 07:45:27 sounds like this is not a proper reference? Jan 21 07:50:40 anyone here use the PayPal api? Jan 21 08:00:59 can I use libstagefright.so with Android 2.3.1? Jan 21 08:18:46 http://pastebin.com/2uLYjM48 The NetworkTask is my problem. I start and stop this service multiple times. The first time it runs fine. After that I am getting a NullPointerException caught at line 173. I can't figure out why it won't work subsequent times. The service is being unbound, stopped, and destroyed. But next start something breaks in NetworkTask and I can't figure out what. Anyone can hel Jan 21 08:18:46 p? Jan 21 08:24:07 It seems my doInBackground method isn't getting called. Any ideas? Jan 21 08:26:49 Orr...it's working just REAALLY slowly... Jan 21 09:05:44 hi Jan 21 09:05:55 SimonVT hi, are you around ? Jan 21 09:06:52 do you know if there has been any fixing of this bug that makes the ABS freeze ? https://github.com/JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock/issues/510 Jan 21 09:07:05 it's been up for like 8months and still there in the last release Jan 21 09:07:14 could anyone point me in the right direction, I need to push a notification when an user has done his part in the game so the counterpart can continue doing his part. What kind of technique / way am I looking for to achieve this Jan 21 09:08:48 Better to vertically center listviews smaller than their container or align to top? Jan 21 09:26:18 Hi can anyone tell me how to hide the suggestions from a SearchView after onSuggestionClick hat been triggered? Jan 21 09:32:56 lasserix, why is it not container sized? Jan 21 09:41:55 I want to test my BT MIC. Are there any apps that i can use to test it Jan 21 09:43:03 if I have Activity a that starts Activity b and then finishes, does a.onStop get called before b.onResume? Jan 21 09:44:03 thepoosh http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/starting.html Jan 21 09:44:47 i have an asynctask that I'm calling .cancel() that is not getting it's onCancelled method called until a while after I call cancel. I am connecting a socket to a server, and I think onCancelled() is only calling when the server drops connection for lack of input. Jan 21 09:45:01 thepoosh in your question onStop() is not guaranteed to be called at all Jan 21 09:45:04 doinbackground() is opening a socket and inputstream.read() Jan 21 09:45:08 with a while loop Jan 21 09:45:23 how can I guarantee the socket gets closed? Jan 21 09:45:34 if I call a.finish Jan 21 09:45:39 it does get called Jan 21 09:45:51 your on about for activity a that started b? Jan 21 09:45:57 or your on about b finishing ? Jan 21 09:46:35 if you calling finish() it will go through paused stopped destroyed Jan 21 09:46:36 the code is: a{startActivity(b); finish()} Jan 21 09:46:57 I want to know if both are not active Jan 21 09:47:34 so your calling finish on a ? Jan 21 09:47:40 after starting b Jan 21 09:47:42 ? Jan 21 09:47:45 well, yes Jan 21 09:47:51 a starts b and finishes Jan 21 09:48:56 but on resume will not get called when you finish, but if you mean the whole lifecycle then yes Jan 21 09:49:39 hmmm Jan 21 09:49:44 I need to think this through Jan 21 09:50:15 whats the purpose ? Jan 21 09:50:25 splash screen or something ? Jan 21 09:51:13 could anyone point me in the right direction, I need to push a notification when an user has done his part in the game so the counterpart can continue doing his part. What kind of technique / way am I looking for to achieve this Jan 21 09:53:07 Daani: perhaps you want to define your own protocol (e.g. using something like HTTP REST, if it is turn based) and want to keep the connection alive the whole game. If the game can last very long, this might not be the best appraoch, and you perhaps want to take a look at GCM to push notification to devices Jan 21 09:55:29 timroes: a game can vary a lot in time due to not be real-time played. It is a quiz kind of game. User duels, game starts by retrieving questions from my web service, when user is done answering it should notify the opponent. Jan 21 09:56:00 could GCM be easily invoked by the web service, then it's a good solution Jan 21 09:56:56 Daani: yeah it that varies a lot, you might not want to hold a connection all the time alive, since it is very likely to be killed due to low bandwidth or a tunnel or such :) Jan 21 09:58:25 and GCM can be either invoked to send messages, via a http post request (should be very easy from every language) or they offer a JAVA lib, if you code your server in java Jan 21 09:58:40 you might want to have a look at the docs http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html Jan 21 09:59:09 or to get an overview, you can watch this talk from last year's Google I/O http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoaP6hcDctM Jan 21 10:02:37 thanks a lot Jan 21 10:03:01 short warning ahead, only works on devices where google play is installed Jan 21 10:03:29 so most likely isnt the best ide if you are aiming do distribute your game over other channels Jan 21 10:07:40 Are there any android recording apps that make use of BT MIC? Jan 21 10:08:39 rsv: most should work, IMO Jan 21 10:09:08 Is there a simple call to change the color as to "highlight" a row in a simple list view (ie standard arrayadapter)? Jan 21 10:09:30 p_l: my device does not have a sim card. so i have a BT headset. I want to capture voice input using bt headset mic Jan 21 10:09:46 i tried using bluetooth mic test and it force closes the app Jan 21 10:10:14 hey, any idea how to check wich codec gallery app is using to play a video? Jan 21 10:10:20 p_l: any idea what apps i can use on ics Jan 21 10:10:26 rsv: I don't see what sim card has to do with it Jan 21 10:10:40 I mean, I would like to check if it is using a sotware codec or a hardware one Jan 21 10:11:17 p_l: the thing is android layer turns on BT handsfree when a call is in operation Jan 21 10:12:10 timroes: the app is most likely to be distributed on google play so it should be all fine Jan 21 10:12:30 rsv: then you might have a problem that #android-root only can answer Jan 21 10:16:46 no ideas? :( Jan 21 10:17:10 I would like to which codec MediaPlayer object uses to decode video Jan 21 10:17:18 to know* Jan 21 10:18:01 not in the docs ? Jan 21 10:18:10 as in the capabilities ? Jan 21 10:18:48 er.. do you have a reference or link where I can check please Jan 21 10:19:01 i mean the google docs Jan 21 10:19:57 hmm Jan 21 10:23:26 ok, another question, do you know how to remove a decoder? I mean, I don't want my apps to use a specific decoder so I would like to remove it to be sure Jan 21 10:42:52 i was wondering is the android minimalist dialog built in? http://developer.android.com/images/ui/dialogs.png or are they built by each dev. seperately Jan 21 10:43:09 im referring to the style not the actual content of the dialog Jan 21 10:44:34 balls2thewall: and i am wondering, you copied the picture from exactely the page where it is explained how to create such dialogs :D Jan 21 10:45:14 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html Jan 21 10:46:16 they look different :/ Jan 21 10:46:30 what looks different? Jan 21 10:47:08 the dialog looks different, not plain and minimalist like in the guide Jan 21 10:47:33 the right one is a default AlertDialog with setImage, two buttons, a text and a title? Jan 21 10:48:27 the left one is (I guess) an AlertDialog with setView to set the custom view Jan 21 10:49:18 if you really don't want to set a view, just to call methods like setTitle, you will have the default alert dialog (right one in picture) and the date and time picker dialog available Jan 21 10:49:42 and the list dialogs Jan 21 10:49:48 (http://developer.android.com/images/ui/dialog_checkboxes.png) Jan 21 10:50:04 I guess for everything else you need to call setView to pass it a custom view Jan 21 10:57:51 anyone knows any good resources on the use of sensors wrt the NDK ? Jan 21 11:02:25 I tried using a couple of bt record apps like bt mic test and bt record lite. They crash. anybody tried with anyother bt record apps Jan 21 11:04:54 Anyone here use NFC intents? Seems to be a bug in Android where it can't recognise unformatted Mifare cards Jan 21 11:06:10 Smashcat: what are you filtering for? mifare tech? Jan 21 11:07:14 Ge0rG: I just want to capture ANY NFC tag, no matter what it has on it. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work for unformatted cards (Android just brings up some options to "open" it in a browser Jan 21 11:08:05 Smashcat: what is the intent you see in logcat when tapping that unformatted tag? Jan 21 11:08:12 Ge0rG: I haven't found a single working example of an app that can read the UID from an unformatted card - the Google demo doesn't work either Jan 21 11:08:35 Smashcat: there was a bug up to 4.0.3 Jan 21 11:08:39 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22258 Jan 21 11:08:56 that infected mifare classic 1k and ultralight C cards Jan 21 11:08:58 Ive a Service which is created on boot (by a broadcastreceiver). I've a Toast in the Service in onCreate and in onStart(). Now after a few minutes the service get started again and again and again. I thought Android will keep it running? (not like a activity/process)? Jan 21 11:08:59 Ge0rG: It comes up with MifareClassic, NfCA, Ndef Jan 21 11:09:33 Tried all sorts of tech filters, nothing seems to capture it. Jan 21 11:10:00 Smashcat: you tried NdefFormatable? Jan 21 11:10:09 misterli: no, services may be restarted as well Jan 21 11:10:23 misterli: the chance of getting restarted is lower with a foreground service, but that implies a permanent notification as well Jan 21 11:10:36 Smashcat: because if it isn't formated it should be recognized as NdefFormatable afaik Jan 21 11:10:58 timroes: No, but I did try just capturing everything by using TAG_DISCOVERED, with no tech (assumed this should get anything) - but that fails with unformatted cards Jan 21 11:11:34 timroes: I'll try it, thanks Jan 21 11:11:36 yeah afaik (i am not soo much into nfc) that should fail, since tag qould be required to be formated Jan 21 11:11:44 but that is just my guess Jan 21 11:12:43 timroes: Thing is, tags always have a unique ID, even when unformatted, and that's all I need. I'll be working with unformmated cards. Jan 21 11:13:53 try it with the tech filter :) Jan 21 11:13:57 and see if it works Jan 21 11:15:21 and to your tag discovered problem: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/nfc/NfcAdapter.html#ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED Jan 21 11:15:40 seems like it would start the tag discovered for unformated, as long as no activity is listening for ndef discovered or tech_discovered Jan 21 11:17:11 timroes: Yeah, just tried, and the unformatted tech isn't handled either. Might have to go to the client and ask that they supply all cards formatted with any old junk data so the phones can see them. Jan 21 11:17:59 Smashcat: could you show your manifest file and your techlist file ? Jan 21 11:18:35 timroes: Yep, hang on... Jan 21 11:18:46 Ge0rG, thanks. But onCreate will be called only once? Ive a listener which should only be created once at beginning. Jan 21 11:20:08 timroes: I've pasted both files in here - http://pastebin.com/c6qVt5ax Jan 21 11:20:37 Smashcat: and what android version are you using? Jan 21 11:20:54 timroes: 4.1 for this Jan 21 11:21:10 formatable is written with one t :) Jan 21 11:21:22 misterli: no, onCreate() will be called again if your service gets killed in between Jan 21 11:21:28 see if it works with that corrected :) Jan 21 11:21:37 in your tech list Jan 21 11:21:53 Ge0rG. How does it get killed? by the GC or just by another process/crash? Jan 21 11:22:11 timroes: heh, ok Jan 21 11:22:55 misterli: by androids GC Jan 21 11:23:50 timroes: Nope, same problem. Jan 21 11:23:53 Smashcat: and try to skip the default categoriy in the tech_discovered intent-filter Jan 21 11:24:13 okay, which means: when the service creates an activity which should be displayed to the user, then it would be created several times (when the GC wants it) Jan 21 11:24:19 according do docs you shouldn't put the category filter in the tech_discovered ot tag_discovered Jan 21 11:25:08 oops, github blocked in china :| Jan 21 11:25:27 misterli: you can't just create an activity from a service Jan 21 11:25:36 timroes: Ah, so I can't use the filter at all then? I'll take it out Jan 21 11:25:52 no just the category tagfrom the intene filter Jan 21 11:26:11 Jan 21 11:26:41 timroes: Yeah, just does the same thing - puts the process into the background, and offers to open the tag in a browser Jan 21 11:27:05 hmm Jan 21 11:27:10 the unformated tag ? Jan 21 11:27:29 Really just need the equivelent of android.nfc.action.ANYTHING_AT_ALL ;-) Jan 21 11:27:37 Yes, the unformatted tag Jan 21 11:28:17 in what browser? Jan 21 11:29:11 timroes: This is an Android app. It offers to open the unformatted tag in Chrome or some other browser Jan 21 11:29:17 ah okay Jan 21 11:29:36 what happens if you do so? :) Jan 21 11:29:43 Haven't bothered ;-) Jan 21 11:29:56 There's nothing on the tag, so I'd imagine it'll just go to Google Jan 21 11:30:03 okay Jan 21 11:30:20 sorry to ask again and seeming stupid, just so we don't talk at past each other Jan 21 11:30:32 you have an nfc app isntalled, that offers you a screen to chose a browser? Jan 21 11:30:42 so its not the default android chose some app to handle that? Jan 21 11:31:33 timroes: Nope, the app doesn't use the browser at all. The problem is that when an unformatted tag is swiped, the Android OS itself is taking focus and offering to open the tag in a browser. So my app is not able to do anything with it Jan 21 11:31:48 ah okay Jan 21 11:31:52 then I would assume the tag isnt empty? Jan 21 11:32:07 because i doubt (but don't know) the android browser wants to listen on unformated nfc tags? Jan 21 11:32:17 might they bought, and the company preformated them with their company url or such? Jan 21 11:32:18 timroes: It is totally unformatted. There is no data on it at all, except for the UID Jan 21 11:32:37 okay, then I have no further ideas, and unfortunately have onlyf ormated mifare cards around me Jan 21 11:33:28 I checked with the "TagWritter" app. It just offers to format it Jan 21 11:34:31 only suggestion I would have now is to look into the manifest of tagwriter and see, what intent filter they use Jan 21 11:34:39 and in what they differ from yours Jan 21 11:34:46 Well thanks for trying to help! I'll see if I can request they're all formatted. It doesn't matter what they're formatted with - as long as there's some NDef data, my app works ok Jan 21 11:35:13 Unfortunately there's no source code available for tagwriter Jan 21 11:35:34 i have an emulator with google play isntalled to download the apk to my pc, so i can unzip it and look at it :) Jan 21 11:35:51 Heh, ah! Jan 21 11:35:59 SimonVT do you know if there has been any fixing of this bug that makes the ABS freeze ? https://github.com/JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock/issues/510 Jan 21 11:40:45 Morning Jan 21 11:41:33 how come i have an android 4 (in a pen with hdmi) and it plays divx videos and my nexus 7 does not, says video play error. What is diferent from one to another? Jan 21 11:42:16 Where are the codecs stored, what can i change in them to make them able to play divx (avi) Jan 21 11:43:09 they are booth android 4.1 Jan 21 11:48:16 hmm. webview gives "page not found". However I can browse normally with the opera browser. Could swear this code used to work. Could this be related to that my phone's default browser has stopped working properly? (Takes like 10-15 minutes before it loads page succesfully. After that it works for a while properly) Jan 21 11:49:42 Smashcat: just a very last question, because i noticed it. in your paste the was missing for the techlist. was this just missing from your paste, or might you have forgotten it in the xml file? Jan 21 11:50:33 timroes: Er, that's missing in the tech list - although there's no errors about it Jan 21 11:52:06 you could also try to add also NDEF_DISCOVERED as a separated intenet filter Jan 21 11:59:12 is there an Dialog meant specifically for errors? the alert dialog is dismissable and the OnDismiss event is only available since v.17 :( which i could sure use Jan 21 12:01:39 balls2thewall: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Dialog.html#setOnDismissListener(android.content.DialogInterface.OnDismissListener) it says from api Level 1 for me Jan 21 12:02:06 the builder has it only since api level 17, but the dialog has it already before Jan 21 12:02:09 eclipse "public AlertDialog.Builder setOnDismissListener (DialogInterface.OnDismissListener onDismissListener) Added in API level 17" Jan 21 12:02:17 oh Jan 21 12:04:48 timroes: Using that manifest has definitely made some progress. It's now relaunching my app when an unformatted tag is used. Really it should just detect it within the app, but at least this is useable! Thanks. Jan 21 12:05:25 Smashcat: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/advanced-nfc.html#foreground-dispatch Jan 21 12:05:48 if your app is open and you dont want to let android decide what app to handle the intent, use that part from the docu, to make your app handle it Jan 21 12:05:58 i guess thats the reason why its restarting Jan 21 12:06:01 ddreamero: are you using latest ABS release? Jan 21 12:06:17 timroes: Yeah, I've worked from that guide. It doesn't actually work - it's the same code used in the Google demo, but that doesn't detect unformatted cards at all Jan 21 12:06:57 ddreamero: i had that problem too, i fixed it by moving all my options menu for fragments into the parent activity. Jan 21 12:07:25 ddreamero: then later someone said that was a bug related to older ABS release, so updated and switched them back into fragments and it worked Jan 21 12:18:19 hello everybody Jan 21 12:18:46 i want to make a horizontalscrollview with each child on a single page. how can i do that ? Jan 21 12:18:50 afternoon Jan 21 12:18:52 :) Jan 21 12:19:05 presently its showing all the childs attached Jan 21 12:19:21 would you not use a viewPager for that ? Jan 21 12:19:39 can't it happen with horizontalscrollview ? Jan 21 12:20:04 well yes I would imagine with doing lots of the work already there for you in a viewPager Jan 21 12:20:16 ok Jan 21 12:20:19 thanks Jan 21 12:20:40 timroes: I'm wondering if it's a bug in Android - the method .disableForegroundDispatch(this) doesn't actually seem to disable the foreground dispatch. Ive put some debugging output in there, and I can see that it's getting to that statement, then just ignores it :) Jan 21 12:22:00 Smashcat: haven't used it yet, so I am not a big help there :) Jan 21 12:22:29 Heh, no problem thanks. I'll put in a bug report and see what they say Jan 21 12:23:20 StingRay_: but will viewpager support versions 2.3 and below ? Jan 21 12:24:10 sunny_slls with support lib I think so Jan 21 12:24:17 is it possible to supply shadow for shape-drawable? Jan 21 12:24:33 api 1 with support lib Jan 21 12:24:35 :) Jan 21 12:24:38 just checked Jan 21 12:27:20 still no help? Jan 21 12:27:30 how come i have an android 4 (in a pen with hdmi) and it plays divx videos and my nexus 7 does not, says video play error. What is diferent from one to another? Jan 21 12:27:59 BrixSat: one has DivX codec another doesn't Jan 21 12:28:19 p_l: where are they stored? Jan 21 12:28:21 the phones that play DivX tend to use "official" DivX codec that is paid for Jan 21 12:28:44 BrixSat: in core of the OS, you can't copy or install because it would fail (as it's often tied to hw decoding chip) Jan 21 12:28:44 where can ui get the coded, i havent find nowhere info about that Jan 21 12:28:52 because you can't Jan 21 12:29:19 so you mean i wont be able to add divx or xvid support to nexus 7? Jan 21 12:29:27 At least not for normal applications - there are applications that ship with their own codecs, at expense of speed/cpu use, which you can use Jan 21 12:29:53 p_l: for an application using videoview that wont work :/ Jan 21 12:29:56 BrixSat: well, you could try integrating full suite of ffmpeg decoders into media framework in a custom ROM. Have fun Jan 21 12:30:12 p_l: i will try Jan 21 12:32:49 Does anyone have experiences on TapForTap ad exchange network? http://r.tapfortap.com/SeDx1 On idea level it sounds interesting. Show ad in your application -> your ad is shown in another developer's application. I did not implement it yet, but seems easy. Jan 21 12:39:43 If any one is using captivate framework and Adobe AIR in his application, i would appreciate if he would look at this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14438524/add-adobe-captivate-framwork-to-android-eclipse-project Jan 21 12:40:06 I mean is this even possible? Jan 21 12:42:04 zipoboy: I cannot answer your question, but I have a counter question. How do you experience the performance of Adobe AIR in Android? I tried few applications using it long time ago with my Galaxy S and the performance was very poor. Jan 21 12:43:16 ASensorEventQueue_hasEvents(mSensorEventQueue); returns -1, signaling that there is an error, but how can I find out where? Jan 21 12:43:25 ndk-gdb doesn't see a segfault or other error Jan 21 12:44:44 I'm guessing that mSensorEventQueue = ASensorManager_createEventQueue(mSensorManager, looper, 0, mycallback, myObj); is generating a faulty queue Jan 21 12:45:41 but what could cause that, the sensor manager and looper get created, 0 can be passed as I'll be relying on the callback and myObj is a pointer to the owning object, which I cast to the owning object class in the mycallback function Jan 21 12:46:24 and then I call the non-static method on my now casted object, but that doesn't happen Jan 21 12:46:30 the callback is never called Jan 21 12:47:02 so I'm wondering whether the callbacks are only usable in a full C++ (no Java at all) NativeActivity Jan 21 12:47:35 Google Groups about the NDK seems to say that it should be possible outside a full NativeActivity Jan 21 12:48:07 IndiumIndeed: I haven't done much high performance testing but the simple game that development team has send me seems to run fine on my HTC Desire. But this is relay simple kids game like guess the color and stuff. Jan 21 12:48:14 but nowhere is mentioned _how_, and I've found the toadlet engine to implement these APIs, but I still must be missing something Jan 21 13:06:57 Anyone knows an Android API for doing epoll/poll on a ParcelFileDescriptor? Jan 21 13:08:48 ah yes, there is my accelerator data Jan 21 13:11:40 hi guys Jan 21 13:11:55 i cannot figure out how to setup a menu for my live wallpaper Jan 21 13:12:05 anyone who can guide me a bit? Jan 21 13:12:19 is there any way to print or otherwise inspect EGLConfig's (https://developer.android.com/reference/javax/microedition/khronos/egl/EGLConfig.html)? Jan 21 13:20:21 I have a class that extends View, in that class I have overriden the onDraw method (draws a simple oval), I want to add this view to a linearLayout is that possible ? Jan 21 13:20:30 Hi, I'm interested in writing a small plugin system for an android application. So far I can dynamically load new files but I still have one big issue: How to do the interfacing? Each plugin implements a "Pluggable" interface but either the Pluggable interface is included in the plugin dexfile which causes an error when the plugin is loaded or I just try to cast a Plugin into the Pluggable interface and then a ClassCastException is throw Jan 21 13:22:57 tagrudev yes Jan 21 13:23:42 lasserix, the thing is that it doesn't render :| Jan 21 13:23:54 I am doing something wrong and I can't figure what's it Jan 21 13:23:58 I'm wondering if it's possible to strip the Pluggable interface definition out of the plugin dexfile such that it is properly linked with my Pluggable definition in the main component Jan 21 13:24:09 tagrudev what constructor do you have implemented? Jan 21 13:24:40 lasserix, one taking the context Jan 21 13:25:08 okay that's for doing it code, fyi the second one taking an additional attribute set is what you have to implement when you are going to add it to your xml layout definations Jan 21 13:25:41 Are you properly adding it to your active layout? Did you verify onDraw is being called? Jan 21 13:25:43 lasserix, the thing is I want to add it dynamically and not define it in the xml Jan 21 13:25:52 then you are on the right path Jan 21 13:25:54 I will gist the class Jan 21 13:25:59 mom Jan 21 13:26:34 Make sure to take your vitamins :) Jan 21 13:26:45 lasserix, https://gist.github.com/4586028 Jan 21 13:28:08 that looks okay one thing you'll want to note is that on different density display's that oval will look different since you are using hard coded pixel values Jan 21 13:28:14 but anyways, Jan 21 13:28:28 refresh I have added the code from my activity Jan 21 13:28:31 can you gist the code where you are trying to add it to your layout? Jan 21 13:28:36 :) Jan 21 13:28:56 don't use application context Jan 21 13:29:03 in this instance Jan 21 13:29:23 what should I use ? Jan 21 13:29:30 uhh Jan 21 13:29:31 this Jan 21 13:29:35 will probably work Jan 21 13:29:52 what's the surrounding code on file2? are you in an activity somewhere? Jan 21 13:30:30 onCreate in activity Jan 21 13:31:05 yeah then the activity is a context that is suitable Jan 21 13:31:07 same thing with this Jan 21 13:31:27 when I add a textView the same way It renders Jan 21 13:31:29 you don't want the pie chart to persist beyond the life of the activity right? so don't use application context, just use the activity as context (ie this should work) Jan 21 13:32:09 maybe it doesnt go in the onDraw method let me check Jan 21 13:32:43 tagrudev: i'm thinking you are not setting any size, the textview will fit its content or whatever when you add in code, but I believe you have to set the piecharts size with layoutparams when you add it to the linearlayout parent Jan 21 13:33:03 yep Jan 21 13:33:23 it doesnt go in onDraw Jan 21 13:33:43 hmm lasserix i am adding my xml definition of the linearLayout mom Jan 21 13:34:10 ahh here Jan 21 13:34:13 its been a while sorry Jan 21 13:34:22 you MUST override onMeasure when using custom views Jan 21 13:34:23 http://developer.android.com/training/custom-views/custom-drawing.html Jan 21 13:35:11 I have added the definition of the xml Jan 21 13:35:13 hmm Jan 21 13:35:14 look at that, the onMeasure part: there's simpler ways instead of calculating padding and all that by using width/heightmeasurespec and specifying EXACTLY or something Jan 21 13:38:06 lasserix, hmm don't get that Jan 21 13:38:39 get which? Jan 21 13:39:06 even If I override onMeasure the render is not done again Jan 21 13:39:26 umm what values did you use for w and h? Jan 21 13:40:51 is there anyway for hook text selection ?? like what x11 offer ?? i want my service know what text selected in all app ?? Jan 21 13:41:08 huh? Jan 21 13:41:10 no Jan 21 13:41:17 text highlighting by itself does nothing Jan 21 13:41:25
