**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 16 02:59:58 2013 Mar 16 03:14:38 argh how do you load a preferencefragment to replace the one you already have Mar 16 03:16:23 so I've imported a hello world app for NFC that writes a string to an NFC tag and in the first few lines it has @SuppressLint . what is that and if i remove it will it break everything? Mar 16 03:16:49 it suppresses warnings from lint Mar 16 03:16:54 removing it will, at most, give you a lint warning Mar 16 03:16:55 :P Mar 16 03:17:14 canadiancow: what's a lint warning? so it will break the app and not let it function? Mar 16 03:17:28 it's like a compiler warning Mar 16 03:17:30 but it comes from lint Mar 16 03:17:38 what is lint :P Mar 16 03:17:54 google it :P Mar 16 03:17:55 lolol Mar 16 03:17:56 static analysis Mar 16 03:18:21 i've googled it and it makes no sense to me Mar 16 03:18:32 it's like findbugs but for Android's ridiculous APIs Mar 16 03:18:59 I see, but isn't eclipse meant to findbugs anyway Mar 16 03:19:08 no, eclipse is makebugs Mar 16 03:19:29 okay, so if I remove that thing I won't be able to run it? Mar 16 03:19:33 Aaaaand he's gone Mar 16 03:19:40 canadiancow: so can i remove that thing? Mar 16 03:22:09 coco89, lint shows some things that won't break a compile. Like a declared integer that is never used. Mar 16 03:22:57 that *wont break a compile? Mar 16 03:23:44 Won't Mar 16 03:23:46 It just hides warnings. Warnings don't break a compile. Mar 16 03:24:04 There are Lint Error, but then you can still clear all lint errors and compile. Mar 16 03:24:49 But probably shouldn't. Mar 16 03:24:53 I see Mar 16 03:25:00 hmm I think I understand Mar 16 03:25:05 It's not good to have things like unused declared integers in code. A good lint will show such things. But code will compile and run OK with such things. Mar 16 03:25:05 why dont you just try it? Mar 16 03:25:13 Ologn, agreed Mar 16 03:25:16 i dont like suppressions Mar 16 03:25:28 ohh Mar 16 03:25:30 so like Mar 16 03:25:39 the yellow triangle exclamation mark thing? Mar 16 03:25:51 Those are warnings. Yes. Mar 16 03:25:54 coco89, yes, in that ballpark Mar 16 03:26:02 so those are lints? Mar 16 03:26:02 zomg Mar 16 03:26:05 ~_~ Mar 16 03:26:12 lool Mar 16 03:26:13 if you're trolling, please stop Mar 16 03:26:22 i'm not Mar 16 03:26:32 i should've called them warnings my bad Mar 16 03:27:51 thanks thuogh guys Mar 16 03:28:12 off to bed, it's 3.30 Mar 16 03:28:18 night Mar 16 03:42:47 I'm creating an intent with ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE and adding the EXTRA_OUTPUT, the camera activity writes the file i specify - but it's resolution is garbage (it's a thumbnail) - is there a good cross-device compatible way to overcome this? Mar 16 05:49:19 re Mar 16 05:49:40 Any recommended 3rd party widgets? I found a few just trying to see if there are any good widgets out there Mar 16 05:49:57 hey guys, I'm adding a Fragement with a FragmentTransaction but I can't figure out how to hide it on a tap/click -- ideas? Mar 16 06:36:51 hey, is there a simple way to lighten a color a color using the android API? from strong red (#ff0000) to a ligther version? Mar 16 06:38:14 use math Mar 16 06:38:33 int red = 0xFF0000 & color; Mar 16 06:38:43 er Mar 16 06:39:21 int red = (0xFF0000 & color) >> 16 Mar 16 06:39:56 int lighterRed = (int)(red * 0.8f); Mar 16 06:40:16 int lighterRedColor = (lighterRed << 16) | (0xFFFF & color); Mar 16 06:40:51 and now you should have a color with 20% lighter red value Mar 16 06:41:07 there's also Color.red(0xFF0000) to get the ff part only, and Color.rgb(red, green, blue) to create a color int from components Mar 16 06:41:50 that too Mar 16 06:42:18 thanks Mar 16 07:23:53 hi all, does anyone know why my DatagramSocket keeps returning the same data I just sent when I call receive() Mar 16 07:27:09 hi. how can I add my website in the strings resources to be clickable? Mar 16 07:35:26 superlinux-hp: I don't think that has do to with the string Mar 16 07:35:44 rather, I think you have to make sure the textview it is in makes things linkable Mar 16 07:36:06 JesusFreke, i have just read it thanks Mar 16 07:36:22 or manually Linkify it, I guess Mar 16 07:36:52 i want it for my application About menu item Mar 16 07:37:25 gtg thanks anyways Mar 16 07:37:32 If it's a menu item, just handle the menu item event, by starting an intent to go to that url Mar 16 07:41:48 I left my expansion file on 'Processing' last night and it still seems to be stuck there any ideas on what could be causing this not to upload? Mar 16 07:47:22 Its had over 6 hours so far Mar 16 07:49:23 anyone have an idea of why my datagram socket seems to receive only previously sent data? ie. I send "HELLO", then I want to wait for a response, so I call .receive(), but the data returned is still "HELLO" Mar 16 08:27:52 i have downloaded the opengl sample from google site, I changed the AndroidManifest.xml and the proper files to have my own package and class names, the project imports correctly but doesn't add the library dependencies like Android 4.0 to the project, how can i force this from the manifest or probably another file Mar 16 09:13:34 when i update my appwidget programmatically, the content in the widget is replaced by content from a different app for a second or two before my content is loaded, any ideas? Mar 16 09:40:43 hello laidies Mar 16 09:41:12 so I'm 3 weeks into android programming.. and I still suck at it.. so lets all keep that in mind when I ask questions Mar 16 09:42:12 I'm doing a small app.. as of right now I have an actionbar, in my mainactivity, the actionbar has 5 pictures Mar 16 09:42:37 now when I click on one, it starts a suited activity. and in that new activity I have the exact same actionbar, with all the 5 logos, and 5 onClick methods Mar 16 09:42:48 that is of course, idiotic.. I want to keep that actionbar static Mar 16 09:43:31 but I'm unsure what the best approach is?.. should I keep my actionbar as one activity, and then keep what they contain in fragments Mar 16 09:43:41 or should the actionbar be a fragment? .. Mar 16 09:47:16 P3nnyw1se: cl s Mar 16 09:47:19 oops Mar 16 09:47:33 P3nnyw1se: concidered a viewPager ? Mar 16 09:47:42 considered* Mar 16 09:47:52 * StingRay_ is just waking up and cant type Mar 16 09:50:10 well I'm not sure how that would work honestly.. imagine that these 5 'sites' that the actionbar can switch inbetween Mar 16 09:50:28 at least some of them have extensive coding and functionality Mar 16 09:50:35 like listing items.. booking them, creating e-mails Mar 16 09:51:08 I was thinking that the actionbar would stay as an activity you never left.. and then have fragments swap Mar 16 09:51:32 but being new to this, I dont know if there are any side effects into using fragments.. to contain that much Mar 16 09:51:34 and not activities Mar 16 09:51:46 P3nnyw1se: nothing wrong with that Mar 16 09:52:31 so there aren't any limitations behind fragments vs. activities? Mar 16 09:53:07 like e.g. savedInstances and stuff like that I can do in activities Mar 16 09:53:11 that applies to fragments aswell ? Mar 16 09:53:18 yes Mar 16 09:53:34 Can I change the path to a library in eclipse? I want to move it to a different folder on my HDD Mar 16 09:54:07 Quacked: yeah, but it WOULD have to be listed in the build path in project config I think Mar 16 09:54:38 hmm Mar 16 09:54:43 maybe better to delete it and re-import Mar 16 09:54:48 Stingray thats nice.. I was afraid that I might be halfthrough and then go 'shit you can't do this with fragments' Mar 16 09:56:06 P3nnyw1se: tbh I dont do that globally in my app, if I have a fragement that controls something that is not going to alter with something like screen rotate or keyboard appearance I use setRetainInstance(true) Mar 16 09:56:38 somethings that I have to track/alter then I bundle them and save / restore Mar 16 09:56:39 alright so its uncommon practice what I'm about to do? Mar 16 09:57:22 P3nnyw1se: just saying that setRetainInstance with keep mVars that are init in onCreate Mar 16 09:57:31 across config changes Mar 16 09:57:38 if i remember correct Mar 16 09:57:40 I'm unsure how else to do it.. I have this actionbar that I want to occupy like 1/10th of the screen no matter where the user is Mar 16 09:58:12 P3nnyw1se: I just outlined an option, I did not say that what you want to do is wrong Mar 16 09:58:17 what you want to do is fine Mar 16 09:58:30 just saying there is a flag that does that for you if it suites Mar 16 09:59:06 mmmmmm Mar 16 09:59:13 its early in the morning :P Mar 16 09:59:17 same Mar 16 09:59:24 been up 20 min Mar 16 09:59:27 need more coffee Mar 16 09:59:48 so let me get this ABC.. you are telling me there is a common solution to keeping something static like an actionbar ? Mar 16 09:59:52 I would assume many apps have one Mar 16 10:00:18 I never/dont use actionbar Mar 16 10:00:32 I use my own menu/title system Mar 16 10:00:56 but if you have 1 activity Mar 16 10:01:04 how can the action bar not be static ? Mar 16 10:01:11 there is just one of it ever Mar 16 10:03:18 yeah I'm just you know.. trying to find out if there was something like Mar 16 10:03:24 'if you are doing an actionbar.. you should always do this' Mar 16 10:06:49 whats a tabactivity Mar 16 10:06:49 hmmm Mar 16 10:09:36 oh thats the pre-fragment Mar 16 10:14:13 viewPager and indicator are kinda replacements to that I think Mar 16 10:17:57 actionbar things are gone at the activity level no? so nothing to do with fragments Mar 16 10:18:29 or are you still just wondering how the design/implementation of your entire app is gonna work ? Mar 16 10:26:21 Does any one know a possible reason for runOnUiThread to run multiple times? (example: message listener for XMPP, runnable() runns adapter.add(x) several times, causing same items to appear on the list view) Mar 16 10:26:31 Stingray kinda Mar 16 10:26:54 I was told at my school that 1 hour of design can save you potentially 8 hours of programming.. as a thumb rule Mar 16 10:27:10 I'm still not sure keeping the actionbar as an activity and everythign else in fragments is the right choice Mar 16 10:27:15 but its the only one I can wrap my head around Mar 16 10:27:38 fragments are in and activity Mar 16 10:28:07 or if your using support lib in a fragmentActivity Mar 16 10:28:08 yeah I know Mar 16 10:28:21 but the way this is planned out then Mar 16 10:28:30 it would mean that everything would be one activity Mar 16 10:28:35 how else would you use the action bar ? Mar 16 10:28:39 that handles a bunch of ragments Mar 16 10:28:40 so... no guesses on why code inside the runOnUiThread may get executed multiple times? Mar 16 10:29:08 alright so StingRay riddle me this :P.. Mar 16 10:29:09 Boris______: does it get exectued many times ? you gone through debugger ? Mar 16 10:30:04 lets now assume that my actionbar is an activity.. how do I construct the rest of the window into fragments Mar 16 10:30:10 StingRay_: gimme a second there, thanks for the tip Mar 16 10:30:10 do I make a viewgroup and load in another xml to that Mar 16 10:30:13 sorry if it sounds confusing Mar 16 10:30:34 P3nnyw1se: action bar is not an activity Mar 16 10:30:48 actionBar is used as a widget as an activity level Mar 16 10:30:53 just like a fragment is Mar 16 10:31:32 and I think if you want to be dynamic with fragments you dont do them in xml Mar 16 10:31:33 What I mean is, I've only tried swapping between fragments and activities with each their own xml.. Mar 16 10:31:42 fullview to fullview Mar 16 10:32:08 how do I have half a window be one xml file.. and the other half be another Mar 16 10:32:57 erm, with a layout of 2 viewGroup types Mar 16 10:33:05 or 3 rather Mar 16 10:33:17 parent + left + right Mar 16 10:33:25 and setCOntent Mar 16 10:33:29 just like any activity Mar 16 10:34:39 hey StingRay_ & capella Mar 16 10:34:51 morning Mar 16 10:34:52 morning! Mar 16 10:35:01 morning :) Mar 16 10:35:13 g00s: you lie Mar 16 10:35:29 is it not evening there ? Mar 16 10:35:31 or night ? Mar 16 10:35:34 I know it seems easy.. but fact is I've only tried swapping between fullview to fullview Mar 16 10:35:36 3:35 am :) Mar 16 10:35:36 but seems doable Mar 16 10:36:27 P3nnyw1se: I would say a little more than doable, its more "the way it was intended" Mar 16 10:36:53 doable as in.. I can do it :P Mar 16 10:37:23 dang I hate my reviewers who make me explain every single line of code Mar 16 10:37:49 how dare they Mar 16 10:38:18 capella: what app ? Mar 16 10:38:27 the rape app Mar 16 10:38:30 it searches for good spots Mar 16 10:38:35 and drunk women Mar 16 10:38:49 alright maybe thats a bit too aggressive this early that joke Mar 16 10:38:54 the guy wrote the routine (wrong) and I have to explain a) why its wrong and b) why my fix works Mar 16 10:39:28 on my 2nd semester of java.. I wrote a 'gunList' which was actually a circle array.. Mar 16 10:39:30 :P oh well - but I wish 'try it and see' was enough Mar 16 10:39:51 capella: after google killed reader (probably to shift people into G+) i realized how important it is to use and support the open wen; apps like Firefox and standards like RSS Mar 16 10:40:08 *open web Mar 16 10:40:18 yah - we have our good side Mar 16 10:40:49 StingRay_: I remembered why I didn't do it, the Thread is executed in the packet listener function, which runs on a background. Problem is that function itself is executed once, while the code in runnable is executed multiple times. Mar 16 10:41:31 to be fair, my reviewer is awesome ... so we're both surprised to find holes in his stuff :D Mar 16 10:46:04 g00s yah readers absence is getting noticed ... though for some reason I thought you were a googler Mar 16 10:47:07 i think its a good thing; with Reader - all the other RSS apps languished. now they have to innovate again Mar 16 10:47:10 @capella write a unit test then just say 'look at the test' Mar 16 10:47:58 well I always provide the steps to reproduce ... but a lot of things are caused by regressions from unrelated patches Mar 16 10:49:45 capella: are you guys porting FF to Tizen ? Mar 16 10:49:50 and being a long term unpaid contributor, the more experienced moz emps sometimes sideline my stuff Mar 16 10:50:02 :( Mar 16 10:50:08 who here has the patience to go through some basic stuff with me in msg.. I expect it to take 6-7 minutse before I get it Mar 16 10:52:58 I've heard pretty much zero about Tizen Mar 16 10:58:44 hey being all new to this android thing.. I dont get how I get to divide myscreen into 2 fragments .. like I have my setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); that populates my contentView with an xml file Mar 16 10:59:01 so how do I take another xml file and populate the other half of the screen Mar 16 11:00:00 P3nnyw1se: i think you should go through the training on fragments Mar 16 11:00:35 http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/index.html Mar 16 11:00:50 alright Mar 16 11:00:51 Firefox will stay with Fennec under Android, and for alternate OS use our new B2G Mar 16 11:01:21 (Boot to Gecko / Firefox OS) Mar 16 11:06:57 hey Stingray I know I'm inpatient but reading through the guides so let me get this straight Mar 16 11:07:17 I create a view in the MainActivity and then populate that view with my Fragment? Mar 16 11:07:19 e.g. Mar 16 11:07:31 just to know if I'm on the right course here Mar 16 11:07:45 well yes, it explains it all in that link Mar 16 11:07:53 and there are excersises and samples Mar 16 11:08:20 exercises lol.. where would the military be if they ever exercised Mar 16 11:10:43 How can I go to the end of a list if I only have an external keyboard? Mar 16 11:10:53 (scrolldown list) Mar 16 11:11:00 like in Settings-app Mar 16 11:17:19 spobat: ? Mar 16 11:17:33 the cursor keys ? Mar 16 11:17:48 ? Mar 16 11:17:57 as in the down arrow Mar 16 11:21:17 unless you have some constraining factors on the focus/touch of items then dont see why that would be a problem Mar 16 11:31:02 Stingray it says Mar 16 11:31:03 "If your activity allows the fragments to be removed and replaced, you should add the initial fragment(s) to the activity during the activity's onCreate() method." Mar 16 11:31:21 does that mean I should Instantiate all the fragments i plan to use right away Mar 16 11:31:22 ? Mar 16 11:47:30 I made it work :D Mar 16 11:48:18 I created a viewgroup in my activity xml..and using fragment manager.. I swap fragments around in that view when buttons are clicked Mar 16 11:48:26 keeping the activity and as such my actionbar always at teh same Mar 16 11:51:33 * P3nnyw1se is padding his own back then Mar 16 11:52:04 oh, well done P3 Mar 16 11:53:05 yeah, propper padding is important... Mar 16 11:54:09 P3nnyw1se: in answer to your prev. question… no Mar 16 11:54:21 it just means do that way rather than xml calls Mar 16 11:54:37 code rather than xml def. of fragments Mar 16 11:58:24 as it looks right now.. I have an activity with 5 different onClick methods.. for 5 different buttons Mar 16 11:58:38 and inside each button it adds a fragment and commits it to a view designed for it Mar 16 11:58:45 in the mainactivity layout Mar 16 11:58:53 hmmm writing that makes me thing Mar 16 11:58:55 think Mar 16 11:59:29 couldn't I just call all my buttons with an onClick method? same name Mar 16 11:59:32 and then ask by .getID Mar 16 11:59:36 which button was hit? Mar 16 11:59:42 so I dont need 5 different methods for 5 buttons Mar 16 12:00:04 maybe do it in a switch statement Mar 16 12:01:14 alright gonna shorten that question up Mar 16 12:01:56 isn't it possible to have 5 buttons with 5 onClick, all 5 called "hello" .. in my java file I just do a hello(); and then ask by ID which of the 5 buttons were hit Mar 16 12:02:01 that way avoiding to have 5 different methods Mar 16 12:02:21 I dont need an answer.. that has to be possible Mar 16 12:02:21 brb Mar 16 12:03:12 hey, if i draw something on canvas, with bounds that are beyond the screen does that consume CPU power? for example if the screen is 400x200 and i draw a line from (0,0) to (10000,10000) Mar 16 12:03:13 P3nnyw1se: one onClick with switch for getId() Mar 16 12:03:41 viran: no and it's easy to test Mar 16 12:04:01 * P3nnyw1se slaps StingRay_ around a bit with a large trout Mar 16 12:04:03 thank you :P Mar 16 12:05:58 Xabster: thanks Mar 16 12:12:57 Xabster are you following me on irC! Mar 16 12:13:13 yes Mar 16 12:14:25 I knew it Mar 16 12:14:30 I'm flattered but I'm gay Mar 16 12:14:32 and you are a girl Mar 16 12:14:34 be back later Mar 16 12:30:54 hey guys Mar 16 12:31:15 I have a static class with a method in it that I run a few hundred times Mar 16 12:31:55 does turning that class into an instance class and keeping an instance of it so I can reuse my stack objects in the method speed stuff up? Mar 16 12:32:05 or does the optimizer already iron all that out? Mar 16 12:39:33 Hello. I have a scrollview and I have a LinearLayout (vertical) inside scrollview. I dynamically add ImageViews into LinearLayout. It adds well but there is a empty space gap between ImageViews. So it shows an empty space before ImageView and after ImageView. How can I solve it? Mar 16 12:41:58 musaulker: depends whats the cause Mar 16 12:42:06 not using wrap_content Mar 16 12:42:29 maintaining aspect of an image within the bounds where the images leaves the space in the imageview Mar 16 12:42:34 etc Mar 16 12:43:10 I would test it myself and find out, but I'm not sure how to do it? Mar 16 12:49:19 hi guys, how can i put the camera view into my activity? Mar 16 12:49:49 i want the camera to be shown in my activity and work with it... im freakin beginner but fast learning :D Mar 16 12:58:43 norbi: you been though the tutorials ? Mar 16 12:58:57 cause I dont think anyone will answer your question Mar 16 13:02:50 Something is fucked with my Debug.InstructionCount class Mar 16 13:03:09 collect returns false Mar 16 13:03:29 and when it doesn't I get an instruction count of 0 Mar 16 13:03:31 any ideas? Mar 16 13:09:29 :( Mar 16 13:10:01 I asked my teacher if I should do 5 buttons with 5 seperate onclick methods or have a switch statement with 5 possibilites Mar 16 13:10:11 he told me.. and I quote "sometimes you do the one thing, sometimes the other" Mar 16 13:10:14 how is that a help to me Mar 16 13:11:33 P3nnyw1se: then choose the easiest for this task Mar 16 13:11:35 :) Mar 16 13:11:42 is this homework your doing ? Mar 16 13:13:03 I will choose what I consider the best.. the switch statement.. Mar 16 13:13:07 its is homework.. but.. Mar 16 13:13:19 P3nnyw1se: he's right... Mar 16 13:13:23 He's right tho Mar 16 13:13:34 I usually use switch if I have a bunch of buttons that do similar things Mar 16 13:13:40 Like a tab bar Mar 16 13:13:49 If they're completely unrelated, they each get their own Mar 16 13:13:49 I know that different situations apply to different things. Mar 16 13:13:53 but when I'm in a learning situation Mar 16 13:14:01 he can't just tell me each time 'you can go right or left' Mar 16 13:14:06 he should tell me 'in this case I would go right' Mar 16 13:14:18 nah Mar 16 13:14:38 he should explain the advantages and disadvantages if you don't understand them Mar 16 13:15:00 I dont see a difference at all on the switch statement or their own methods Mar 16 13:15:07 seems to me you can do everything inside a switch case as you can Mar 16 13:15:08 shared code Mar 16 13:15:09 in a method Mar 16 13:15:24 There is no difference Mar 16 13:15:29 It's all about making readable code Mar 16 13:15:31 so its purely overview Mar 16 13:15:31 if the buttons do different things, the code's cleaner with separate methods Mar 16 13:15:32 k Mar 16 13:15:53 from a functionality standpoint, yeah, there's no difference Mar 16 13:15:53 I'm 4 days into planning an app and 3 weeks into android teaching Mar 16 13:16:00 and in 3 months I'm turning over a working app to a real company Mar 16 13:16:34 I've done java projects.. so I know Mar 16 13:16:43 you make 'silly' mistakes early on.. you pay for it later Mar 16 13:16:48 thats why I'm a bit anal about these things Mar 16 13:18:27 sorry but you make me laugh Mar 16 13:18:46 alright Mar 16 13:20:09 apology accepted then Mar 16 13:30:48 SimonVT: But with adding the OnClickListeners on each button seperately, you'll get so much cruft. 5 lines of boilerplate code :\ Mar 16 13:30:57 Even if IDEs like IntelliJ thankfully hide it away. Mar 16 13:33:18 I�m still not quite sure what the best trade-off is, having all your methods in the activity or writing a lot of boilerplate code Mar 16 13:33:30 for button functions Mar 16 13:37:32 Hello, i am having an issue passing an objext from Activity1 to Activity2...it's very strange and i don't understand why this happen. The relevant code is here http://pastebin.com/8Nf3wU5S If it's not enought for understand the scenario i'll paste more. Thank you Mar 16 13:38:38 You can't pass views between activities Mar 16 13:40:01 but why a part of method return the right value and other doesn't? Mar 16 13:40:24 you can pass RemoteViews between them Mar 16 13:40:56 if i remove the call to pp.getListOfComments() it works Mar 16 13:41:25 uragano2: presumably, whatever type you're using for getListOfComments can't be Parceled Mar 16 13:42:30 it's an ArrayList(customObject> Mar 16 13:44:18 sorry, it's an ArrayList, sorry but in my mind if i pass an object there isn't a reason why i can't access only to a part of it's variables Mar 16 13:48:31 It's a parcelable, you're responsible for retaining and restore its variables Mar 16 13:49:01 uragano2: you can't pass a non-parcelable object inside a parcel. Mar 16 13:49:09 uragano2: either make it parcelable, or use something that is. Mar 16 13:52:10 post it's parcelable Mar 16 13:53:32 and i suppose that i can pass an object parcelable that contains non parcelable objects as ArrayList in this case Mar 16 13:54:26 you can't pass anything in a Parcel that isn't parcelable Mar 16 13:54:45 Parcels can't contain anything that isn't parcelable either Mar 16 13:54:58 your options are to make it parcelable, or to use something that is already parcelable instead Mar 16 14:05:30 mhhh...it's never a good idea choose to coding instead of sleep....i forgot to pass it in parcel constructor, now the error is "Parcel: unable to marshal value com.util.Comment". I suppose that is the scenario that we were speaking about Mar 16 14:07:39 [15:05] mhhh...it's never a good idea choose to coding instead of sleep. Mar 16 14:07:45 thats like saying dont have sex with drunk girls Mar 16 14:08:52 Any ideas on why whenever I upload an expansion file the window eventually freezes on 'Processing' Mar 16 14:09:14 No errors so I can't figure out where to start Mar 16 14:09:28 I just tried again with a blank new project but got the same result Mar 16 14:10:04 where do you upload too ? Mar 16 14:10:10 and how big a file Mar 16 14:10:47 Google Play, the expansion file is 75mb Mar 16 14:10:54 The apk uploads just fine Mar 16 14:12:51 I left it on over night as a test so it had a good 6 hours to 'process' Mar 16 14:13:27 does it error out or just stalls ? Mar 16 14:13:47 how does it terminate Mar 16 14:13:47 Just stalls which makes it really tough to find the cause Mar 16 14:14:03 halway through or possibly right away? Mar 16 14:15:25 it seems to upload to 100% and just says 'processing' but I'm not sure if the problem is right away or not Mar 16 14:16:16 The 'save' and 'cancel' buttons are greyed out so my only option it to keep closing the window Mar 16 14:16:27 depends how much they are drunk and if they are enough lightweight to be drag Mar 16 14:18:10 is the solution of my problem create an object that extends ArrayList and implements Parcelable? Mar 16 14:18:34 * P3nnyw1se slaps apple741 around a bit with a large trout Mar 16 14:18:50 the fact you reach 100% and it stalls there.. seems to me to be some authentication problem Mar 16 14:19:04 like it won't allow your files or your user or wahtever Mar 16 14:21:24 P3nnyw1se: I see, so my actual apk must be properly signed just not the expansion file itself? Mar 16 14:22:18 I'm trying to animate listview items when a button is clicked in the contexual action bar, however the only way to get the row view (that i know of) is to call listview.getChildAt(x). but this only returns child views visible on screen. how would you guys suggest I handle a situation where an item off screen needs to be animated? Mar 16 14:23:29 what would be the point of animating something when no1 can see it ? Mar 16 14:23:31 If it's off screen, you don't need to animate it Mar 16 14:25:54 yeah, that just hit me. Mar 16 14:26:29 * pragma- pats alexfu on the head. Mar 16 14:26:42 * pragma- sends a memo to HR to fire alexfu at first opportunity. Mar 16 14:27:26 or only class Comment must be Parcelable? Mar 16 14:38:54 hi guys, i'm having trouble understanding the concept of contexts Mar 16 14:39:05 could someone please clarify ? Mar 16 14:41:09 if you have a concrete question Mar 16 14:41:26 what is context Mar 16 14:41:53 it's generally the thing that is holding your thing Mar 16 14:42:05 a context can be different things. Its what the same describes: a context in which seomthing is executed. e.g. an activity is a context Mar 16 14:42:09 an application, a service, etc. Mar 16 14:42:39 practically: it's what gives you access to resources and preferences Mar 16 14:43:19 e.g. you started an activity, then you have the application context for everything of you application that is currently running, and the activity context for your current activity. If you now change the activity in your app, the activity context will change, but not the application context Mar 16 14:44:04 and as osxorgate just said, it is an android class, that gives you access to the android stuff like resources, starting new serices or activities, etc. Mar 16 14:44:11 ok, now the object Comment implements parcelable, but it doesn't work yet. The error now is NullPointerException. During the activity switch it calls writeToParcel(..) but it never calls the constructor. Is this why i must create an object tha extends arraylist and implements parcelable that contains Comment objects? Mar 16 14:44:55 Hmm I see Mar 16 14:45:24 dont worry too much about context Mar 16 14:45:27 yet :) Mar 16 14:45:40 just say the magic 'this' and you're all set Mar 16 14:46:41 osxorgate: I want to forget about it but I'm doing an NFC app and it involves contexts :P Mar 16 14:46:51 but I think I get the jist of it, I'll read up more Mar 16 14:47:04 and hopefully have a more specific question Mar 16 14:48:08 sure Mar 16 14:48:22 thanks guys :) Mar 16 14:56:11 how can I get the id on a view in a onClick Mar 16 14:56:18 I mean onClick(View view) Mar 16 14:56:29 there is the view.getID(); but thats an int Mar 16 14:56:32 view.getId() Mar 16 14:56:34 I'm looking for the name I assigned it Mar 16 14:56:44 name ? Mar 16 14:57:05 android:id="@+id/requestBasket" Mar 16 14:57:08 R.id.myButton = int reference Mar 16 14:57:40 you could also findViewById in oncreate and in onClick() do if (view == mMyView) {} Mar 16 14:57:58 if(view.getId() == R.id.requestBasket){yey;} Mar 16 14:58:18 .... Mar 16 14:58:26 do I really have to do that? I can't ask what 'name' the button has? Mar 16 14:58:30 P3nnyw1se: you resouce names are ints Mar 16 14:58:34 fuck me Mar 16 14:58:36 P3nnyw1se: realize that @+id/requestBasket just generates an int Mar 16 14:58:50
