**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 20 02:59:59 2013 Aug 20 03:00:38 JakeWharton: I'd guess you might know.. :) Aug 20 03:02:36 hello to all Aug 20 03:02:51 does anyone know why I cant run more than 2 tests in android junit testing? Aug 20 03:02:56 g00s, why go fullscreen, just go some multiple of your maximum desired with Aug 20 03:03:03 I usually want 80 or 132 columns at most for my code Aug 20 03:03:07 (mostly 80) Aug 20 03:04:24 java requires 400 columns at least Aug 20 03:04:45 i mean, when you have your abstractfactorycreatorofabstractfacorycreators Aug 20 03:05:02 so break it down by whatever means necessary Aug 20 03:05:04 break on . Aug 20 03:05:19 create factories for creating your factories so that you don't have to spell out the rhs Aug 20 03:05:25 hehe Aug 20 03:05:55 or just switch to a language that has type inference Aug 20 03:06:22 how do i make my button red? i tried this and my button is pink. b.getBackground().setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(Color.WHITE, Color.RED)); Aug 20 03:07:50 pfn actually, i just had 3 columns with ragel grammars in them. i'm using AS for java Aug 20 03:18:23 Figured out my other problem if anyone cared about it Aug 20 03:48:32 how do I prevent background anr's from killing my app while debugging? Aug 20 03:52:17 there's an option in developer options "Show App Not Responding dialogue for background apps" Aug 20 03:52:46 presumably that lets you wait or something? I've never used it so not sure Aug 20 03:53:09 i thought that only happened if the debugger took too long to connect to the process Aug 20 03:53:41 yeah, I'l,l try checking that again Aug 20 03:55:28 do people implement seperate, optimized REST APIs for mobile apps? When I say "optimized", I mean an API that gives you only as much data as you need and does so in as few round trips as possible. Aug 20 03:57:18 * pfn makes another qicr release Aug 20 03:57:19 ugh Aug 20 03:57:42 awesome, intellij hung Aug 20 03:57:50 pfn are you using the play beta stuff yet ? Aug 20 03:57:54 no Aug 20 03:58:06 nocturne777: yes Aug 20 03:58:54 in particular, it's sometimes beneficial to fetch more data than required for the current stuff Aug 20 03:59:04 because firing up the 3g radio is expensive and slow Aug 20 03:59:22 wabz: then they have to deal with the overhead of maintaning multiple similiar APIs. Aug 20 03:59:29 correct Aug 20 03:59:32 meeting, back later Aug 20 04:01:36 g00s, betas and stuff for pro use, it's all internal QA off jenkins and stuff Aug 20 04:01:44 nocturne777 this maybe relevant. honestly, i haven't heard of mobile-specific versions of a rest api, but i'm not the best on this : http://www.infoq.com/news/2013/02/netflix-api-optimization Aug 20 04:01:45 my own stuff, I don't care about beta Aug 20 04:01:56 k Aug 20 04:02:32 g00s: I think it makes sense. Aug 20 04:03:04 in our web app, we make multiple requests to get the resources we want Aug 20 04:03:18 oh, then you will like the netflix article Aug 20 04:03:27 they talk about how they coalesce those Aug 20 04:03:46 but its not specifically /because/ of mobile Aug 20 04:04:03 but for a mobile app, firing 60 requests to display results may not make sense. Aug 20 04:04:09 g00s, got yourself a non - shitty device yet? Aug 20 04:05:01 pfn no, my laptop battery is dying, trackpad is dead, and now my mouse id going - i need to buy a mouse soon. and my truck is dying. i probably won't have a non shitty device for a while Aug 20 04:05:02 so many awesome qicr changes today Aug 20 04:05:50 yeah, as soon as i get a device i would like to check it out Aug 20 04:06:14 one of the things that pisses me off about textual is that i can't split the window to see multiple channels at the same time Aug 20 04:06:25 hydrairc even let you merge arbitrary channels Aug 20 04:06:30 ok pfn, so i'll give it to you. technically it was a lifecycle problem Aug 20 04:06:40 i was premeturely killing the service Aug 20 04:07:07 i tell you what guys, i have written some sweet code today Aug 20 04:07:24 a service which checks a manifest online, downloads and installs database updates, verifies via a checksum Aug 20 04:07:28 adn this UI Aug 20 04:07:39 https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-At8uNB8h6T0/UhK_vcBG4YI/AAAAAAAAAjg/cFQVNnomqSE/w483-h859-no/Screenshot_2013-08-19-17-59-41.png Aug 20 04:08:32 https://plus.google.com/111751695436781052143/posts/4BcCCxCb8Q7 Aug 20 04:08:45 I got this done today Aug 20 04:08:52 nice Aug 20 04:09:07 your graphics area alitte fuzzy Aug 20 04:09:15 are they in the correct resolution folder? Aug 20 04:09:57 those are stock android resources Aug 20 04:10:07 from framework Aug 20 04:10:30 oh Aug 20 04:10:49 i recently switched to Android Studio Aug 20 04:11:00 oh my god. I can't tell you how good it feels to have dropped Eclipse Aug 20 04:11:06 I'm no fan of coming up with my own resources Aug 20 04:11:08 even on windows Aug 20 04:11:16 I can't wait for intellij 13 Aug 20 04:11:21 what's new in it? Aug 20 04:11:28 android studio is a waste of time for me Aug 20 04:11:31 do your resources in xml then with shapes Aug 20 04:11:39 all the features of android studio Aug 20 04:12:00 the thing is, before android studio I never bothered hard enough to get my dependencies all set up Aug 20 04:12:00 my resources are in xml for whatever can be Aug 20 04:12:14 there is quite a steep learning curve of dependency management when switching Aug 20 04:12:22 eg my widget buttons rider and background are xml Aug 20 04:12:28 eclipse is actually pretty good about duplicate resources, etc Aug 20 04:12:31 sbt gen-idea Aug 20 04:12:44 is how I generate projects to load in intellij Aug 20 04:12:57 sbt? Aug 20 04:14:10 AS is a dog on my machine; dunno if its just subjectivity on my part (haven't benchmarked anything) Aug 20 04:14:28 maybe the gradle stuff is eating up cpu cycles Aug 20 04:14:58 s Aug 20 04:15:04 b Aug 20 04:15:13 probablylost, sbt => best build s Aug 20 04:15:15 tool Aug 20 04:15:37 gradle doesn't eat cpu unless it's running Aug 20 04:16:35 oh Aug 20 04:19:45 my machine kinda sucks anyhow Aug 20 04:22:59 pfn did you add the javascript scripting stuff ? Aug 20 04:23:14 not yet, no Aug 20 04:23:27 I have too much to keep myself busy with to bother adding scripting right now Aug 20 04:23:45 especially when I don't have users asking for it Aug 20 04:24:05 yeah, i bet its also a support headache Aug 20 04:24:51 if people do start using it, they'll want more stuff exposed, or this to behave differently, or questions about how to do xxx .. Aug 20 04:27:49 yeah, it's ok, by then, I'll have open sourced, and my answer will be to rtfs Aug 20 04:32:59 of course, the source isn't very comprehensible ;-) Aug 20 04:33:35 https://gist.github.com/pfn/6258977 Aug 20 04:33:47 added a shitload of boilerplate for the WidgetChatActivity Aug 20 04:34:17 at least it's re-used by the notification Aug 20 05:15:04 so quiet tonight. Aug 20 05:16:34 morning Aug 20 05:18:09 evening Aug 20 05:18:27 i'd love to know what everyone is working on Aug 20 05:18:38 Hello. Should i use a 'started' or 'bound' service for a media player application? Aug 20 05:21:59 startForeground Aug 20 05:22:29 startForeground has a high priority and won't be killed by android Aug 20 05:22:47 a bound service will be killed when the last activity unbinds, so that's no good Aug 20 05:22:53 +johnq Aug 20 05:28:00 start foreground when the last activity unbinds Aug 20 05:28:41 otherwise you get that stupid. notification while your app is running Aug 20 05:29:55 good. that's supposed to be there Aug 20 05:30:05 i'm so sick of developers abusing startForeground Aug 20 05:30:30 just use it how it's meant to be used. you're going to need a notification anyway for playback extending controls or information Aug 20 05:30:35 and it's unnecessary while you have a foreground. activity running Aug 20 05:30:56 no. service != activity Aug 20 05:31:07 and you don't want to give that impression Aug 20 05:31:17 the abuse has been disabled as of4.3 anyway Aug 20 05:31:46 never conflated them Aug 20 05:32:14 just don't startForeground while you have an activity bound Aug 20 05:32:33 becaus then you'll have a useless notification Aug 20 05:33:13 ok. i'm reading startForeground. But it doesnt answer my question: in a started or a bound service? Aug 20 05:36:57 it's a started service Aug 20 05:37:12 but i disagree. keep it as startForeground Aug 20 05:37:25 you'll be higher priority and will need a notification Aug 20 05:37:50 if you just startService, then android may kill you when it likes. far less chance than with startForeground Aug 20 05:38:03 you're the one application type that should use it without guilt :-) Aug 20 05:38:36 android will never kill you if you have a foreground activity Aug 20 05:38:39 also, return START_STICKY Aug 20 05:38:51 that's not true Aug 20 05:38:54 that depends on what you need Aug 20 05:38:57 and anyway, it may not always be on the background Aug 20 05:39:02 and yes, it's true Aug 20 05:39:15 if your activity has been backgrounded, then yes, android can kill your service whenever it lieks Aug 20 05:39:20 likes^ Aug 20 05:39:30 that's not a foreground activity Aug 20 05:39:38 i'm talking about a foregroundService Aug 20 05:39:47 this has nothing to do with activities Aug 20 05:39:54 Hi all Aug 20 05:40:19 your service will not be killed if you have any foreground activities, period Aug 20 05:40:24 for some reason, while trying to use Volley for my connections, I get a NoSuchFieldException Aug 20 05:40:26 dude Aug 20 05:40:33 in mannagedConn Aug 20 05:40:34 what if your activity is not in the foreground Aug 20 05:40:41 anyone know WTF?! Aug 20 05:40:44 like a music player Aug 20 05:40:51 and start sticky just requests a service restart on kill Aug 20 05:41:19 My activity is a music player. Aug 20 05:41:24 wrong pfn Aug 20 05:41:25 probablylost, no shit, that's why you start foreground when your activity gets backgrounded Aug 20 05:41:29 "So if you use START_ STICKY then the service will not be considered for reclaiming. Aug 20 05:41:29 " Aug 20 05:41:44 it'll still get reclaimed anyway Aug 20 05:41:47 booya Aug 20 05:41:57 all it does is request a restart when it dies Aug 20 05:42:02 much less likely to Aug 20 05:42:06 no it doesn't dude Aug 20 05:42:08 that's from the docs Aug 20 05:43:30 actually you may be right pfn on the start_sticky Aug 20 05:43:52 but for sure, android is categorically more likely to kill services under low memory not started with startForeground Aug 20 05:44:00 of course I'm right Aug 20 05:44:10 It says that all over the services documentation page Aug 20 05:44:30 it cannot and will not kill services that are running in the same process with a foreground activity Aug 20 05:44:33 period Aug 20 05:44:43 what are you talking about a foreground activity for? Aug 20 05:44:44 really? Aug 20 05:45:08 pretend there is one activity and it was onDestroyed or something Aug 20 05:45:17 or it has gone through the lifecycle in the background Aug 20 05:45:18 because half the time, you are interacting with a media Aye Aug 20 05:45:23 lol Aug 20 05:45:27 player through a foreground acticity Aug 20 05:45:28 that's ridiculous Aug 20 05:45:53 you should preapre for the worst, not the best Aug 20 05:45:56 that's why you start foreground when your activity is no longer foreground the Aug 20 05:46:01 dug Aug 20 05:46:05 duh Aug 20 05:46:15 that's kind of a shitty way to code Aug 20 05:46:20 in my opinion Aug 20 05:46:36 and will probably result in unreliable behaviour Aug 20 05:46:39 says the one with service life cycle problems :p Aug 20 05:46:52 I FORGOT TO CALL STOPSELF Aug 20 05:46:59 not to mention, every Google app with a service behaves this way Aug 20 05:47:08 e. g music, play, etc Aug 20 05:47:08 how do you know? Aug 20 05:47:29 how? look at the notification Aug 20 05:47:47 no notification whole foreground activity is running Aug 20 05:47:50 lol Aug 20 05:48:03 that's because they are almost certainly using private notification APIs Aug 20 05:48:06 not your little hack Aug 20 05:48:14 no, they're not Aug 20 05:48:31 prove it Aug 20 05:49:03 there are posts on Google groups from android team members regarding this usage Aug 20 05:49:08 search them Aug 20 05:49:24 I don't really care about defending this position Aug 20 05:49:47 if your clients are willing to accept your useless notification, more power to you Aug 20 05:50:02 well duh, for things like a MUSIC APP Aug 20 05:50:34 the google team are insistant that long running services should have a notification Aug 20 05:50:36 to warn users Aug 20 05:50:47 that's exactly why they added this behavour into 4.3 Aug 20 05:51:07 it only has a notification when there is no activity on foreground Aug 20 05:51:18 Trying to circumvent the rules is only going to end up with more restrictive APIs in time Aug 20 05:51:19 and they didn't add this behavior, they fixed a bug Aug 20 05:51:24 thanks to devs doing stuff like this Aug 20 05:51:30 like what Aug 20 05:51:44 running persistant services without a notification Aug 20 05:51:48 using malformed notifications is irrelevant to what I was saying Aug 20 05:52:14 they didn't just fix a bug, because it would have broken a lot of apps Aug 20 05:52:25 so they added this notification to kind of warn developers Aug 20 05:52:27 read the blog entry Aug 20 05:52:40 while you have a foreground activity, any service running in the same process cannot be killed, period Aug 20 05:52:48 yes, they fixed the bug Aug 20 05:52:59 WHAT IF YOUR APP WAS BACKGROUNDED Aug 20 05:53:07 the malformed notification no longer results in no notification Aug 20 05:53:21 do you honestly think people are playing around with their music apps for 4 hours? Aug 20 05:53:24 you really have a problem with reading comprehension, don't you Aug 20 05:53:39 no, they put the phones in the pocket and the activity gets backgrounded Aug 20 05:53:41 jesus christ Aug 20 05:54:04 as soon as your ducking activity is no longer in the foreground, you start foreground on your service... Aug 20 05:54:14 really, is that so hard to understand Aug 20 05:54:19 that's a dumb hack Aug 20 05:54:35 it's trying to get around the rules Aug 20 05:54:36 dumb hack? that's how it's meant to be used Aug 20 05:54:40 no it's not Aug 20 05:54:47 wow, you really are stupid Aug 20 05:54:50 you're kind of meant to start a service how you mean to go on Aug 20 05:55:07 ^ the guy that has been wrong about pretty much everything Aug 20 05:55:33 you're pointing at youra l Aug 20 05:55:35 self Aug 20 05:56:37 By default services are background, meaning that if the system needs to kill them to reclaim more memory (such as to display a large page in a web browser), they can be killed without too much harm. You can set this flag if killing your service would be disruptive to the user, such as if your service is performing background music playback, so the user would notice if their music stopped playing. Aug 20 05:57:27 TLDR; If you don't want us to fuck with your shit, and if this is important, use setForeground Aug 20 05:57:38 it's really not that hard to understand Aug 20 05:58:52 if you don't understand how processes and Java and dalvik work, don't talk Aug 20 05:59:07 lol Aug 20 05:59:18 ok man.. whatever you say Aug 20 06:52:13 hi - i have an android project which has a class not dependig on android - and i want to run its test through junit. this doesnt run through eclupse.... Aug 20 06:57:58 Anyone know why Eclipse won't pick up a custom class that extends a WebView? Getting an error when it's attempting to inflate it. I've added the class for the new type etc. Seems a bit weird Aug 20 07:04:43 in the layout xml, did you reference the class with its full package name? Aug 20 07:05:13 Yep Aug 20 07:06:26 Seems really strange; no compile errors, names and types match etc. For some reason Eclipse isn't linking the class to the XML resource though (it seems). Aug 20 07:08:25 Meh I can get round it I guess. Only needed to implement a listener to catch scrolling and reset the scroll position. I'll just manually set the position X times per second in a thread :) Aug 20 07:49:17 Hey!, I'm using drag and drop feature in my application. While draggin view ( TextView ) I have drawn shadow of my textviews. My question is, is there any way to change content ( text ) of my textView while dragging item ? Aug 20 07:54:14 Hi all, can somebody know a good tutorial how to handle the lifecycle of my fragment & activities? I'm using a singleton pattern class to to remember some settings Aug 20 07:55:05 Smashcat: clean, build, rinse repeat Aug 20 07:55:25 Smashcat: also update project from the android tools Aug 20 07:55:49 cff: Yep I cleaned it in the end, and it worked, so... :) Aug 20 08:31:02 is there a way to detect if sync is disabled on a phone? Aug 20 08:31:12 like in the S3 from the top bar Aug 20 08:40:06 anyone out there setup the v7 support library using maven / intellij? Aug 20 08:40:15 don't really want to switch to gradle just for this Aug 20 08:44:16 Hi, guys I have a question check this one out https://github.com/JoanZapata/android-iconify Aug 20 08:44:35 new IconDrawable(this, IconValue.icon_share_alt) .colorRes(R.color.ab_icon).actionBarSize()); Aug 20 08:44:44 this one IconValue is a enum Aug 20 08:44:54 i want to dynamically set the icon_share_alt value Aug 20 08:45:50 does anybody know how ? Aug 20 08:51:50 Is it just me, or is the recently released Google API 18 emulator image really unstable? Aug 20 08:56:54 does somebody have experience with the lifecycle (acitivy & fragments)? Aug 20 09:01:07 tagrudev, you can use enums just like any other value Aug 20 09:02:12 alex_PP, yes I found that out the thing I need was IconValue.valueOf(string) Aug 20 09:06:57 hi all Aug 20 09:07:03 I am trying to figure out if SL4A any practical to create Android apps... Aug 20 09:07:18 Should end-user download anything special if the Android app created using SL4A and available via Google Play application repository? Aug 20 09:13:18 i have actually need to automatically simulate the onclick for items in a listview Aug 20 09:13:35 can anyone throw some light Aug 20 09:17:07 is there a way to take rapid fire pictures through the sdk? Aug 20 09:17:41 for example, five quick pictures in a row, to capture action shots of someone scoring a goal Aug 20 09:18:48 I remember the guys from Ericson giving us a talk about that sort of thing awhile back. It would constatly be taking pictures so you could pick which one you liked best when you actually decided to take a picture Aug 20 09:18:54 think it had like 9 frames Aug 20 09:19:12 This was done at a lower level than the SDK though Aug 20 09:26:17 Just started using Android Studio : as soon as I add a com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36+ dependency, I get a Manifest Merging failed error. SDK Manager components are all up to date. Any ideas ? Aug 20 09:52:20 I want to have a normal looking Text input, but have the search symbol show on the keyboard while typing into it Aug 20 09:53:02 can I tell android to treat a normal EditText as a SearchView or make a searchview not have SearchView formatting? Aug 20 09:58:20 do you know an app that can record the desktop of the tablet or mobile directly like the tutorials? Aug 20 09:58:49 such an application will eventually keep my laptop cold. Aug 20 10:07:56 if you add a crash logger to your OSS app, you need to consider that people will take your code and send in horrible crashes from their development efforts Aug 20 10:09:21 ha Aug 20 10:09:38 Ankhwatcher, tried inputType ? Aug 20 10:10:09 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SearchView.html#attr_android:inputType Aug 20 10:10:36 alex_PP: will that remove the search icon? Aug 20 10:10:51 [from the input] Aug 20 10:10:54 or rather, imeOptions Aug 20 10:10:54 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SearchView.html#attr_android:imeOptions Aug 20 10:11:07 set that to somthing that isn't actionSearch Aug 20 10:12:22 hah okay Aug 20 10:12:28 I'll give that a go Aug 20 10:13:01 it's funny because I just tried the opposite, setting ime to actionsearch in an edittext Aug 20 10:13:22 it didn't seem to do anything Aug 20 10:14:12 the IME options should affect what the enter/next/search bitton on the keyboard does / looks like Aug 20 10:15:08 is it possible to programmatically trigger the animation for the loading of a video of the youtube or default android video player? Aug 20 10:30:01 hi there, i want to use the navigation drawer for my menu, and i wonder how i can fill the list view with some spacers. just insert empty items or is there an other practicable method? Aug 20 10:30:21 i use and array adapter to fill the listView as stated in the android docs Aug 20 10:31:23 hello all. Aug 20 10:50:01 alex_PP: I got it working, thanks Aug 20 10:51:05 is there a way to get android studio to do more refactoring of XML? I want it to always sort the attributes in the same order. Aug 20 10:54:00 no worries Aug 20 11:25:32 again me with the same json problem: http://pastebin.com/QD64s3A6 Aug 20 11:25:33 at line 48. I get the error: Aug 20 11:25:33 The method getJSONObject(int) in the type JSONArray is not applicable for the arguments (String) Aug 20 11:25:37 who can help me? Aug 20 11:28:16 dot8: you're getting objects (string-keyed) and arrays (int-indexed) mixed up Aug 20 11:28:48 things like "jArray = new JSONObject(result);" probably don't help... Aug 20 11:31:02 Leeds: ok, I have a look at it Aug 20 11:31:15 dot8: what type is openbuli? Aug 20 11:32:15 dot8: ? Aug 20 11:32:49 Leeds: JSONArray openbuli = json.getJSONArray("matchdata"); Aug 20 11:33:48 and rather than quoting your code at me... a one word answer? Aug 20 11:34:49 Leeds: oh I am sorry. not realy good in writing english Aug 20 11:35:07 how do i use fragments with the navigation drawer properly? cause every entry of the navigation list hast to provide another fragment (class) Aug 20 11:35:17 dot8: easy question Aug 20 11:35:33 dot8: is openbuli a String?

Aug 20 12:33:42 is anyone familiar with the navigation drawer? i just wanted to know if it's like that: if i use the navigation drawer, all my screens consist of fragments that change by selecting the right items in the navigation or can it still be activities? Aug 20 12:34:31 im just curios, if the navigation is still there if the screens are activities Aug 20 12:39:13 cause fragments don't really make sense in my project Aug 20 12:41:33 you can do whatever you want, it might be weird Aug 20 12:41:43 and it doesnt make sense for fragments ot not make sense in your project Aug 20 12:41:48 Hi guys, I need some help with dialogs. I'm using showDialog method and the onCreateDialog activity method.In the onCreateDialog I'm creating a dialog and adding an editText to it buildersetView() method, everything works fine except when the user rotates the scrren, at that point the dialog rotates, but the contents of the editText is lost. Any ideas how can I handle this? I know that I could use fragments but I prefer to solve t Aug 20 12:43:06 ang1: override onsaveinstancestate to save the state Aug 20 12:45:19 and perhaps use a dialogfragment instead? Aug 20 12:46:49 mmathis, this means I need to keep track of the dialogs state, i.e. track if the dialog is visible and have a reference to the editText isntance so I can use on the onsaveinstancestate. then onCreate I need to get the previous edittext's value from bundle, put it in a variable and then again onCreateDialog method check if the variable is populated and use that one instead. Is a but cumbersome and I thought that there must be a bet Aug 20 12:46:56 ang1: to manage the old dialogs, you need to use the deprecated onCreateDialog Aug 20 12:47:45 the better way is to use dialogFragment instead ang1 Aug 20 12:47:50 The activity will get destroyed and the dialog will get recreated because onCreateDialog will manage the dialog like a DialogFragment. It's strongly recommended to use DialogFragments as a solution rather than the deprecated way Aug 20 12:49:58 I see, I was hoping for an easier solution... :( Aug 20 12:50:14 the easy solution uses functionality deprecated 2 years ago Aug 20 12:50:51 onCreateDialog is your easy solution and hasn't been maintained since API13 early to mid 2011 Aug 20 12:52:08 ok.. thanks, I'll change them to fragments Aug 20 12:53:37 hi there. Why the onLocationChanged() event doesn't work if I use the 3G connection? Aug 20 12:54:00 it only works after a brief connection to a wifi network Aug 20 12:56:08 jewels: what location provider are you using? Aug 20 12:56:45 seitensei, I've not set it up Aug 20 12:57:18 I got the locationManager using getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) Aug 20 12:58:01 Are you using NETWORK_PROVIDER? Aug 20 12:58:32 If not, that make make a difference. Aug 20 13:01:18 having trouble exchanging oatuh code for a token :/ Aug 20 13:01:49 GoogleAuthUtil? Aug 20 13:01:57 mikedg: You should test in oauth2playground first. Aug 20 13:02:10 yeah, i did, i know the code I'm getting is correct Aug 20 13:02:18 because im able to use that code there Aug 20 13:02:41 so what are you doing then since it fails you in your app? Aug 20 13:02:53 (or server app, I have no idea..) Aug 20 13:03:26 getting an io exception, bad request Aug 20 13:03:32 it's andorid app Aug 20 13:04:05 AuthorizationCodeTokenRequest a = new AuthorizationCodeTokenRequest(new NetHttpTransport(), new JacksonFactory(), new GenericUrl("https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"), code) .setRedirectUri("http://localhost/oauth2") Aug 20 13:04:05 .setClientAuthentication( new BasicAuthentication(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET)); Aug 20 13:04:14 io exception? That sounds like network related, no oauth2... Aug 20 13:08:42 mikedg: You're calling execute as well on that, right? Aug 20 13:08:56 yeah, i get the error after execute Aug 20 13:09:07 i broke it up just to see fi anything looked wrong in the request data Aug 20 13:09:18 Duh. Aug 20 13:09:45 You're sure your redirect to localhost works? Aug 20 13:11:18 Do you know if that redirecturl is an actual browser redirect (which should typically work), or if it's a return address that the google server tries to post to (which will not work of course)? Aug 20 13:12:09 If it's a "callback" style address, localhost is something else seen from Google's side. ;-) Aug 20 13:12:57 seitensei, so It could be used without difference with wifi and 3G? Aug 20 13:14:04 i thought it was an actual browser redirect Aug 20 13:14:12 i could be wrong i guess Aug 20 13:14:26 ill start trying to figure that out Aug 20 13:15:24 mikedg: But you're not in a browser when you make that request? If it's an actual redirect, you'll get some headers back which you need to interpret, but I think it's actually a "callback", i.e. where Google will post the result of your call. That needs to be routable (as seen from Google's side), and localhost isn't. Aug 20 13:18:44 I wanted to know how you add a background to a Plain Text?
