**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Oct 21 02:59:59 2013 Oct 21 03:28:57 am i correct in thinking that this path: content://media/external/images/media//storage/sdcard0/Android/data/my.awesome.app/.cache/ is actually 2 paths accidentally concatenated together? Oct 21 03:44:46 hi all using intellij. what is the best way to set up for andrid dev (first time here) and i seem to get conflicting info from android studio and plugin. can someone assist Oct 21 03:47:01 it's already setup for android dev Oct 21 03:53:06 anyone here use IntellyJ idea? how to setup the adb emulator? Oct 21 03:56:02 it comes with the sdk Oct 21 03:58:26 my answer: yes, it was Oct 21 04:00:28 i get these error: android-apt-compiler: Cannot run program "C:\Software\eclipse\Development\sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified Oct 21 04:01:26 * jak2000 looking aapt.exe in my laptop Oct 21 04:01:32 just a guess, but its setting for where the SDK is located is wrong Oct 21 04:02:44 are you using openjdk ? Oct 21 04:02:49 the sdk work on eclipse... but i try solve the problem Oct 21 04:02:55 not.. Oct 21 04:03:43 i get it from developer.android.com Oct 21 04:04:50 where is that aapt.exe? there's a funky bug in IJ, which i thought was fixed, where it references the wrong dirs for certain SDK versions Oct 21 04:06:54 in build-tools Oct 21 04:07:21 it's no longer in platform-tools Oct 21 04:07:45 it hasn't been there since like the v22 sdk release Oct 21 04:13:20 pfn, i have a menu named Build, but where specify the location of aapt.exe Oct 21 04:14:46 have a read of this ( if this is the problem ) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16588969/android-hello-world-compile-error-intellij-cannot-find-aapt Oct 21 04:16:51 ok, reading Oct 21 04:20:09 im very wise i abstract my network interface ^^ Oct 21 04:21:57 bankai_: when i select new project >> there is in the sdk combobox Oct 21 04:22:47 not very helpful option Oct 21 04:23:02 configure your SDK location Oct 21 04:23:10 maybe you're all out of sdks?

Oct 21 05:11:11 maybe that white space you've got at the start of the tag Oct 21 05:11:30 you know, how to know? Oct 21 05:12:51 arghhhh.... Oct 21 05:17:08 done!!!!! bankai_ thanks Oct 21 05:17:18 :) Oct 21 05:17:23 Samsung Galaxy Tab® 3 7.0 Wi-Fi Oct 21 05:17:36 you have some tutorials? i want learn how to work with SQl Lite ? Oct 21 05:17:37 how bout dat tab Oct 21 05:19:10 heaps of sqlite tutorials online, they are all much of a muchness Oct 21 05:20:49 ok i am try looking on youtube :) IntelliJ is a good IDE... Oct 21 05:22:27 I want to put a RelativeLayout within a scroll view, the layout will hold a large amount of buttons arranged in custom configuration, how should I be adding these buttons to the layout in order to have the scrollview enabled? So far I can see the buttons but I can't scroll anything. Oct 21 05:23:06 http://pastebin.com/5NB4VcaC Oct 21 05:54:03 bankai_ you know how to create tables on windows and pass it to Android(sql lite)? Oct 21 05:54:28 what do you mean Oct 21 05:55:02 yes i want design my database with tables on my windows OS, and export to my android table is possible? Oct 21 05:56:09 you can use sqlite on windows to plan our your db, get your statements correct etc. then dump it and use that on android ( not sure if that answers your question ) Oct 21 05:56:42 ok Oct 21 05:56:55 yes so so. where can download SQL lite for windows? Oct 21 05:57:15 http://www.sqlite.org/download.html Oct 21 06:13:55 in intellyJ exist an automatic way (pressing Ctrl+alt or something) for import all libraries need? Oct 21 06:15:14 ctrl+shift+O Oct 21 06:15:36 i would also highly recommend the preference "auto import unambiguous types" Oct 21 06:16:46 you can also command+shift+A to search for just about anything you need Oct 21 06:19:52 with Alt+Enter import :) Oct 21 06:47:45 ugh, i havent changed anything, but for some reason it doesnt want to load my library anymore Oct 21 06:51:29 <_the_surfer_> what can be issues if app is working on version 2,3, 4.0 and 4.1 (multiple samsung devices) and not working on 4.2 (htc device)..? is there any possibility that model of device can influence on that or only version? Oct 21 06:51:37 <_the_surfer_> *2.3 Oct 21 06:54:25 we've experienced a few issues; what are you experiencing Oct 21 07:00:22 we had the android gradle plugin classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+' Oct 21 07:00:48 but that is no longer supported so i changed it to 0.6.1 but what is the latest version ? Oct 21 07:02:47 for use sqllite on my android device need install something? sqlite? Oct 21 07:03:32 <_the_surfer_> otiose i dont know, no experience in this part of issues so far... your experiences and opionion? Oct 21 07:04:19 well, we havnt had too many problems so i cant say a lot Oct 21 07:04:22 my Main Toolbar isn't showing all the options? Oct 21 07:04:40 <_the_surfer_> otiose on this htc device version 4.2 app is "loading" but no error, just "staying at same place" Oct 21 07:04:46 basically the biggest one (and the only one i can remember) is that some of our image views would go blank when an animation ended Oct 21 07:04:58 nvm Oct 21 07:04:59 huh, well i dont know Oct 21 07:05:01 got it Oct 21 07:05:57 <_the_surfer_> otiose best program to use for logs? and debug... Oct 21 07:06:21 no clue, we're just using eclipse Oct 21 07:06:32 How would I make an ImageView stretch the image to fill the width, only showing the top of the image if the ImageView height is too small? centerCrop kinda works but it shows the centre, not the top Oct 21 07:10:41 ok, so i think this might be my build settings or something screwed up... Oct 21 07:11:20 I have a subproject that has an external .jar in it, which in turn references a .so file in the same project (using the jni; i think) Oct 21 07:11:48 When my actual project references classes within that jar, it fails to load the .so library Oct 21 07:12:02 any tips of what to check? Oct 21 07:16:42 any advice: http://www.rafb.me/results/zRLrCv14.html when i press the button named: Create it say an error "Unfortunately, StudentDatabase has stopped" (and not say the message: "Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this,"Alta....1",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();") the first line of method: Adddata, strange when i click Close button it stop normally the app, any advice? Oct 21 07:25:58 jak2000: what does your log tell you? Oct 21 07:26:32 Leeds i use intelliJ and in a window named: All messages i get this: http://www.rafb.me/results/oJPKsc84.html Oct 21 07:27:09 jak2000: and when you read that log, what does it tell you? Oct 21 07:27:19 what is the actual error, rather than the entire log? Oct 21 07:28:09 i try see logcat in intellij Oct 21 07:28:14 wait please Oct 21 07:28:34 well crap; for some reason it had a /lib/armeabi/libthing.so and not a /lib/armeabi-v7a/libthing.so after it was building Oct 21 07:28:57 i dont know if it did, or why it worked before.... but copy/pasting into the other architecture seemed to work Oct 21 07:28:58 :/ Oct 21 07:31:58 jak2000: I can see the error, I just want to know if you can Oct 21 07:32:36 by moment not reading the entire log line by line Oct 21 07:33:13 you shouldn't need to read the entire log... you should be able to find the message which refers to your code Oct 21 07:34:59 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a method Adddata(View) in the activity class com.example.StudentDatabase.MyActivity for onClick handler on view class android.widget.Button with id 'button' Oct 21 07:35:05 this is the real error right? Oct 21 07:36:28 looks like it, yes Oct 21 07:41:21 http://www.rafb.me/results/zRLrCv14.html line 39 and 149 was correct not? or the problem is in line 149 because its declared private...(change to public and test)... Oct 21 07:46:07 by moment work (not know if added the data to table... but not show anymore any error Oct 21 07:47:34 now click on showdata button and get same error: http://www.rafb.me/results/Hs6GTX34.html the method: Showdata(View view) is declared as public... reading the error on line 385, not understand why crash :( Oct 21 07:50:12 so you look at the log, you find the error, you fix it Oct 21 07:50:19 that's what development *is* Oct 21 07:50:54 JakeWharton, ++ thnx for Picasso caching Oct 21 07:50:55 win Oct 21 07:52:12 Leeds yes i understand, but by moment, i havent the hability of understand the errors, :) Oct 21 07:52:40 so again, what is the actual error? Oct 21 07:54:51 in adroid emultator: "Unfortunately, StudentDatabase has stopped" in the logfile: http://www.rafb.me/results/zRLrCv14.html i think is: Caused by: android.database.CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index -1 requested, with a size of 2 at com.example.StudentDatabase.MyActivity.Showdata(MyActivity.java:87) Oct 21 07:55:12 correct! Oct 21 08:01:01 :) (i added 3 records, before click on show data), i think the problem is in button adddata, i think the table is empty.... but continue reading... Oct 21 08:21:46 http://pastebin.com/aXpKuq8R Any idea why my subclass of FrameLayout doesn't show any child views? The size is calculated correctly since it shows up if I set a background colour, but unless I set a fixed height instead of wrap_contents, none of the child views display. Oct 21 08:24:58 Leeds are you there? Oct 21 08:27:38 sort of... on the phone with my mum Oct 21 08:29:31 Is there's a panaroma library available? I want to integrate panaroma pics into my app. Oct 21 08:29:47 And, hmm, what's the simplest way to sync data to server? (I'm developing basically a CRUD app but the changes made on the local database must be pushed to a central server. Plus, the changes must be tied to user accounts. ) Oct 21 08:31:01 Ideally I'd prefer to use RMI and auth in the remote server making the client as lean as possible but I guess that's not a choice in Android. I'd rather not write a REST server since am not exactly sure how to handle secure auth with REST and well because am lazy. Oct 21 08:31:27 ok, apparently calling super.onMeasure first fixes it Oct 21 08:34:40 leslie, the problem was that you need to measure you're children Oct 21 08:34:44 *your Oct 21 08:34:56 they all have size 0x0 until you do Oct 21 08:35:13 ah right. is just calling super ok? Oct 21 08:36:58 yeah, that just measures the children and sets the size to the max + padding and margins Oct 21 08:37:10 http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.2_r1.1/android/widget/FrameLayout.java#FrameLayout.onMeasure%28int%2Cint%29 Oct 21 08:39:04 ahh ok, so you're responsible for measuring the child views, didn't know Oct 21 08:39:56 normally, you'd have to measure your children to know how big you are Oct 21 08:40:38 *nod* Oct 21 08:41:36 basically I just wanted to constrain a view to being square Oct 21 08:44:13 to do that, i'd call super, then setMeasuredDimensions with the result of Math.max(getMeasuredWidth, getMeasuredHeight()) Oct 21 08:44:36 alex_PP quick question Oct 21 08:45:45 hm Oct 21 08:45:57 Hello :) Oct 21 08:45:58 I used SCALE_Y, PivotY = 0. Problem is, the setScaleY doesnt return the right value. Example. Height = 300, ScaleY = 1.68. Manual calculation returns 503 but the setScaleY transform the height to 470 Oct 21 08:46:00 any idea? Oct 21 08:46:40 Does anybody here use BrowserStack and know if it's possible to debug its Android and iPhone emulations? Oct 21 08:48:58 I don't think that'd work, alex_PP Oct 21 08:49:23 http://pastebin.com/A0mPACdD Oct 21 08:49:33 hello everybody Oct 21 08:50:00 hey can anybody please explain me what does taskaffinity actually does ? Oct 21 08:50:17 (that's for an aspect ratio of 3:2) Oct 21 08:50:49 what I have seems to work ok though Oct 21 08:51:54 sunny_slls http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17872989/android-task-affinity-explanation ? Oct 21 08:53:22 leslie: i read this link and its fine but this is an example of only one stack. its unnecessary to use taskaffinity when you are dealing with only one stack Oct 21 08:53:46 hm Oct 21 08:53:47 what in case i have multiple stacks ? what will happen in that case ? Oct 21 08:56:15 not sure Oct 21 08:56:53 Maziz, sorry, what was your question, lost my connection Oct 21 08:57:39 I used SCALE_Y, PivotY = 0. Problem is, the setScaleY doesnt return the right value. Example. Height = 300, ScaleY = 1.68. Manual calculation returns 503 but the setScaleY transform the height to 470 Oct 21 08:57:44 no problem Oct 21 08:58:47 leslie: ok no problem . Thanks :) Oct 21 09:00:14 sunny_slls, does this help at all? http://www.slideshare.net/RanNachmany/manipulating-android-tasks-and-back-stack Oct 21 09:02:50 300 * 1.68 = 504 for me Oct 21 09:03:03 oh yeah, i see Oct 21 09:03:06 gmmmm Oct 21 09:03:31 manually it works Oct 21 09:03:33 Maziz, pastebin? Oct 21 09:04:11 im scalling the child view in a gridview Oct 21 09:11:05 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19488762 Oct 21 09:11:47 Hello. I'm trying to get the time between my future date and current date. I have tried: futureDate.getTime() - (new Date().getTime()), but I get a negative value. I have confirmed that the future date is in fact in future. Oct 21 09:13:31 hi! i'm trying to make an android that was build from sources and run on emulator be able to start from snapshot by specifying a "-spanstorage" flag, it seems to work, but adb can't connect to it, is it a bug or what, avd's that were created using sdk seems to work correct in the same case. Oct 21 09:14:41 Maziz, Oct 21 09:14:44 no idea Oct 21 09:20:47 Hm, I can't seem to get the AlarmManager to execute my activity/service at the right time :/ Oct 21 09:20:49 or at all Oct 21 09:21:57 is it possible get an emulator log not using adb?

Oct 21 09:35:35 it means your app name is too long Oct 21 09:35:38 That means you have a long name heh Oct 21 09:35:50 There is a really easy fix for that ;-) Oct 21 09:35:52 depends, i think Oct 21 09:36:06 if it's truncated on 99% of medern devices, then it's too long Oct 21 09:36:17 I thought it would be "dotted" if its too long Oct 21 09:36:20 now its truncated Oct 21 09:36:21 if it's truncated on a HTC cha cha, i wouldn't worry Oct 21 09:36:31 Nexus 7 (2013) here Oct 21 09:36:51 you can scroll animate it if its too long for a cool effect Oct 21 09:37:45 ha, kust looked, no truncated names on my phone, but backgammon is wrapped just before the last n Oct 21 09:37:50 *just Oct 21 09:41:31 interesting, the internet says, if it's truncated at a space, it just cuts it off, midword you get an ellipses Oct 21 09:42:48 is the galaxy s2 a really shitty phone, or is it just mine?

Oct 21 09:59:23 how can for (Thing thing : list) { thing.param = null; } give me a null pointer exception in the thing.param = null? Oct 21 09:59:44 otiose: Thing does not have a variable param?

Why is this not working: http://pastebin.com/J7Dj9zEG, I added the error message as a comment to the top of the function call Oct 21 10:51:42 what is the issue ehre? Oct 21 10:52:08 http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/googles-iron-grip-on-android-controlling-open-source-by-any-means-necessary/ Oct 21 10:52:58 zquad, new AsyncTask.. Oct 21 10:53:29 you shouldn't use inline class like this Oct 21 10:53:37 yeah.. Oct 21 10:53:56 I know :( Oct 21 10:54:05 I think java generics default to Object Oct 21 10:54:20 so your doInBackground would have to take Object.... Oct 21 10:54:27 the return type I have is String Oct 21 10:54:35 the superclass is Result Oct 21 11:01:08 I thought type Result extends Object so what was wrong with returning type String? Oct 21 11:11:33 any of you folks using emacs for android development? If so : did you get semantic completing on the SDK classes properly? Oct 21 11:12:05 zquad, if you're referring to the generic parameter called Result in AsyncTask, it's not a type at all, it's just a placeholder for whatever type you give it Oct 21 11:24:02 Thanks Zharf My ide does not recognize it at all Oct 21 11:41:03 is it possible to have an icon as background on an item in actionbar menu Oct 21 11:41:22 android:background accepts drawable, but its not showing Oct 21 11:42:17 does xliff workz with gignerbread? Oct 21 11:54:49 Can someone explain how "Minimum required SDK" and "Target SDK" come into play when creating an app? Should I just worry about my minimum support? Oct 21 11:59:22 foolsh: of course Oct 21 11:59:47 if you set 14, your app doesn't work on android <4 Oct 21 12:01:38 foolsh: you should set it to 14 Oct 21 12:01:42 and target to 18 Oct 21 12:02:07 Ok, I get that setting a minimum SDK with inhibit the compatibility with older devices, but how does setting a Target come into play Oct 21 12:02:26 foolsh: lets you use things not available in minimum if you if else them Oct 21 12:06:05 Ok thanks! I see "I think I see" if I use a feature that is available only in a newer SDK, but allow older devices to run it with some other *kludge* to take it's place on the older device, I would use target and minimuim SDK version accordingly. Oct 21 12:07:14 yes Oct 21 12:07:22 foolsh: minimum = 14 and you'll be fine Oct 21 12:07:32 anyone developing on Ubuntu using Android Studio? Oct 21 12:07:54 where did you export JAVA_HOME? Oct 21 12:09:28 svector: set it to where you installed oracle's JDK Oct 21 12:09:33 1.6 Oct 21 12:17:40 hello which library to use for rest client in android? Oct 21 12:17:58 i had used a custom http library from a dude and gson in past with success Oct 21 12:18:06 Baluse: http://square.github.io/retrofit/ Oct 21 12:18:20 now there seems to be retrofit/volley / okhttp + gson / jackson etc Oct 21 12:18:25 and tons of others Oct 21 12:18:35 retrofit has few questions at stackoverflow Oct 21 12:18:46 and most people seem to prefer volley Oct 21 12:19:29 Does the android keyboard send font data together with the text when typing in a text field? Oct 21 12:19:48 Because if not, I don't understand how these emojis work Oct 21 12:20:02 Baluse: use retrofit. Oct 21 12:21:22 ok but it seems that i cant customise anything Oct 21 12:21:26 seems very simple Oct 21 12:22:23 funkbox: yeah. I was wondering which file I write that to. I now know it /etc/environment. Thanks anyway Oct 21 12:22:30 also who knows if retrofit is going to use latest version of okhttp Oct 21 12:22:34 and jackson Oct 21 12:23:48 Baluse: I hope you do. You supply he dependencies or load the latest versions using maven. Oct 21 12:24:13 heh but seems no way to use ignore etc Oct 21 12:27:36 ignore? Oct 21 12:34:29 Tried using a 9-patch drawable as background on a actionbar menu item and still not working Oct 21 12:34:42 and it is valid, checked with sdk tool Oct 21 12:42:32 noone here used a background for an item in actionbar ? Oct 21 12:42:55 <_the_surfer_> best logger for debugging apps on real device... Oct 21 12:42:57 <_the_surfer_> ? Oct 21 12:44:32 _the_surfer_: I use something called trace to send stacktraces to a webservice on app startup Oct 21 12:44:57 made by nullwire Oct 21 12:51:50 frigging buttcrack of dawn Oct 21 12:52:33 _the_surfer_: Android Studio has a real handy logcat window that will tell you everything coming from a device connected with adb. Not just what your app is doing but everything the device is up to. Very nice. but not remotely like trace that Onack suggested. Oct 21 12:54:39 yea I am using IntelliJ Idea for devlopment(almost same as Android Studio), great for live debugging, but not for devices "out there" Oct 21 12:55:28 <_the_surfer_> Onack foolsh: thx, i have problem becuase this is not native android app, came from different framework so i dont have console "active" in eclipse... Oct 21 12:59:22 how is it possible that an intent loses its extras? i have an search intent, intercept it before it is passed to another activity and put some additional extras to it, then send it with super.startActivity(intent). Oct 21 12:59:36 but the receiving activity doesn't get any intent extra Oct 21 12:59:41 not even the searchmanager query Oct 21 13:45:53 hello Oct 21 13:46:05 so I have a MediaRecorder.OnInfoListener callback and I get the 1000 code Oct 21 13:46:11 which is not in the docs... Oct 21 13:46:41 i.e. what=1000, extra=0 Oct 21 13:48:41 so does anyone else get it or know what it corresponds to ? Oct 21 13:53:49 guys which type of sensor I shoud use when I want create compass Oct 21 13:54:05 magnetic?

Oct 21 14:07:22 mmarklar: ok, i left of the "s" but the directory is still empty Oct 21 14:08:01 mmarklar: no i assumed they were in the sdk , can you walk me through Oct 21 14:08:05 what os? Oct 21 14:08:13 ubuntu Oct 21 14:08:35 if the sdk is on your path just open a terminal and run 'android' Oct 21 14:08:42 that will open the SDK manager Oct 21 14:09:16 I think its located under $SDK/tools/ Oct 21 14:09:19 but not positive Oct 21 14:09:51 mmarklar: not on path, so /someExecutable , what the executable Oct 21 14:10:04 android Oct 21 14:10:09 and I think its under the tools/ dir Oct 21 14:10:23 noone make compass? Oct 21 14:10:34 lol, stupid me, thats what i ment to ask what dir was it under Oct 21 14:10:40 :) Oct 21 14:12:11 Mek: so what do i want to grab from the manager? the defaults , anything in addition Oct 21 14:12:38 mmarklar: so what do i want to grab from the manager? the defaults , anything in addition Oct 21 14:13:27 mmarklar: to target the most devices should i use 2.x , lower or higher? Oct 21 14:13:50 whoever: these days? platform 10, I think, which was iirc 2.3.3 Oct 21 14:13:54 whoever, API 10 or above Oct 21 14:14:10 really depends what you want to do. check this out: http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html Oct 21 14:14:50 this is another interesting way of looking at it https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Android_historical_version_distribution.png Oct 21 14:15:59 p_l: Kegsay thx, so 2.3.3 is aka platform 10 Oct 21 14:16:41 is there a method to the madness that kernal and platform are different numbers Oct 21 14:17:18 the api level is just a nice int to use in your code, rather than having to parse version numbers Oct 21 14:18:30 Kegsay: thx Oct 21 14:19:33 i just ran across kitkat last night, does anyone know what it will offer that jb does not Oct 21 14:19:54 crappy sms permissions is all I know about it Oct 21 14:20:19 but those "crappy sms perms" could mean a unified messaging app! Oct 21 14:20:38 . . . you can already do that Oct 21 14:21:42 with some issues, iirc Oct 21 14:22:53 yes, but will the masses reive some notification about the perms that they will have to agree to? honestly you display a eula or a perm dialog they will agree and not bother reading it Oct 21 14:23:03 I'm unaware of any issues with sms currently, other than you play a priority game with other apps for the order the apps receive the broadcast in, which can hide sms if intercepted early enough. Oct 21 14:23:45 which I guess is why they are saying "no, YOU sir will be the one true app to rule them all" Oct 21 14:23:50 Kegsay: afaik the new stuff is about fixing those race conditions Oct 21 14:24:36 is adb used in games or many the .file in the app directory that is associated with the app Oct 21 14:25:38 i guess my question is what is more the norm to use adb or a .csv for value retreaval in game play Oct 21 14:28:03 ... adb? adb is a debug tool. Unless you meant the sqlite3 that is included with android framework (which doesn't have a pre-set extension, but many people use .db) Oct 21 14:29:25 p_l: i believ that is what i ment i thaught the db was called adb and that there was a debugging tool by the same name, thanks for the correction Oct 21 14:29:57 weird. Never heard of anyone referring to the built-in sqlite as "adb", but oh well :D Oct 21 14:32:17 p_l: so is there a best practice of retaining passed values between activities, incase the activity that passed becomes a zombie ie : activity a calls activity b and passes values, then when activity b finishes you pass the values in activty b back to activity a , or would you solv this by reinstantiating activity a Oct 21 14:33:15 * whoever hopes that was clear but if not i can try and word it a different way Oct 21 14:34:44 whoever: if the activities are in single application, I'd farm out the data completely outside activities if it's anything big. There's also startActivityForResult and the callback onActivityResult Oct 21 14:35:23 Hi all, does somebody know if there's an opensource library/project which can do something like this: http://www.tlig.org/images/global/article/pageturning.jpg Oct 21 14:36:15 whoever: that is, if there's explicit caller -> callee -> caller flow of information that makes no sense otherwise (the callee could be for example a file chooser), I'd go with startActivityForResult Oct 21 14:36:42 FrancescoV, i found one once but i cant remember the name :o Oct 21 14:37:28 If it's common shared data they are working on, it should be outside Activities themselves in some form of data layer, be it just objects referenced through some singleton (like Application class), or Service or other more complex solutions Oct 21 14:37:56 brx_ ok :p I need one that can display 1 page and 2 pages like the images in previous link Oct 21 14:37:59 p_l: thx Oct 21 14:40:23 p_l: i am sadly still having issues selcting my sdk plaform after running android, when i go to /platfoms/android-10/ i have data/ images/ skins/ templates/ and none of them seem to have an archive Oct 21 14:40:48 you don't select SDK this way Oct 21 14:41:51 you point your IDE/whatever at the android sdk root dir when it asks for the path to *android* SDK, then select the API etc. in build scripts (either Ant/eclipse or gradle) Oct 21 14:42:35 p_l: ok, then how this is my first project setup so I don't have anything to choose under project sdk Oct 21 14:52:10 project sdk does not seem to make a lot of since of the totorials on how to select your project sdk. see :http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5271182/how-do-i-set-up-intellij-idea-for-android-applications Oct 21 14:52:47 I am using 12 so i am not asked to selecte a jdk, only project sdk Oct 21 14:58:59 whoever: that's the JDK. If you select an android project, it will also require adding somewhere in libs (sorry, don't have IntelliJ on this machine yet) an entry called "Android SDK", where you'll point it towards android sdk root and choose the api version, iirc Oct 21 15:12:52 p_l: so i select the jdk, like i would a standard java project ? Oct 21 15:13:06 iirc yes Oct 21 15:29:07 p_l: this is a little fustracting when navigate to /usr/lib/java/jvm/ it works for java projects but hot android for sdk Oct 21 15:29:19 ... what am i missing .. Oct 21 15:29:33 i must be missing a step somewhere Oct 21 15:31:06 hello Oct 21 15:31:11 should i use retrofit ? Oct 21 15:31:19 can classes be configured ? Oct 21 15:31:24 configured how? Oct 21 15:32:45 annotation which properties to ignore etc Oct 21 15:32:50 gson/jackson Oct 21 15:35:21
