**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Oct 27 02:59:58 2013 Oct 27 03:02:46 (truinstinct) Hey guys I have a little java knowledge but I'm decent in python. Any suggestions on fastest way to lwarn how to get an app to the market? Oct 27 03:03:29 go though the gettings started guides Oct 27 03:03:43 you should be quick if already knowing oop etc Oct 27 03:03:46 z Oct 27 03:03:50 truinstinct: do you know what your app will be like ? Oct 27 03:04:24 I just want to make a hello world app to understand the process Oct 27 03:04:59 you can mimick someone doing it on youtube Oct 27 03:05:18 hello world app makes itself :) Oct 27 03:05:32 Lol Oct 27 03:07:11 seriously, the dev tools make a hello world app for you as a framework when you create a new project Oct 27 03:08:11 truinstinct: have you installed the IDE and SDK ? Oct 27 03:08:38 Nope nothing yet Oct 27 03:08:49 start there Oct 27 03:08:57 Ok sir Oct 27 03:09:05 Yeah get the ADT bundle Oct 27 03:09:08 it has everything Oct 27 03:09:35 You should register your developer namespace before you post any APKs for people to test, just a suggestion. Oct 27 03:17:50 Would it be possible to keep my listview data stay across screen rotations? Oct 27 03:23:17 where does it come from ? Oct 27 03:47:19 StingRay_: outside api source Oct 27 03:47:29 that loads kinda slow Oct 27 03:47:32 so its a bitch to reload Oct 27 03:47:42 outside api ??? Oct 27 03:48:26 the listview data Oct 27 03:48:31 yes Oct 27 03:48:35 what outside api ? Oct 27 03:48:47 I dont follow Oct 27 03:48:47 just a json source Oct 27 03:48:57 wordpress api.

Oct 27 03:57:37 Rager, you said to use Gradle to manage dependencies... Oct 27 03:57:41 I think I figured it out... Oct 27 03:57:47 Gradle already was managing it Oct 27 03:57:53 hence why it compiled and worked fine Oct 27 03:58:10 but IntelliJ won't see the library that Gradle compiled Oct 27 03:58:19 and shows errors and I can't autocomplete and stuff for it Oct 27 03:58:28 there's a button to sync the two Oct 27 03:58:45 ^ Oct 27 03:58:47 it's usually to the left of the button to open the emulator manager Oct 27 03:58:59 a little down arrow Oct 27 03:59:11 also, "Tools > Android > Sync project with Gradle files" Oct 27 03:59:20 <^cheeky> looking @ design, i like , but am i being bias here dunno myself, android Design UI, is much more appealing not sure, if it is to me just cause, its new but osx, don't get me wrong i really like, but kinda gotten used to it kinda feeling Oct 27 03:59:26 aha Oct 27 03:59:27 thanks Oct 27 03:59:28 well, it's a gradle logo with a down arrow coming from the bottom Oct 27 03:59:49 ^cheeky: dat sentence Oct 27 04:00:32 i cant tell what ur trying to say Oct 27 04:00:38 <^cheeky> is rubbish ..

Oct 27 05:24:48 perhaps im looking at some outdated info Oct 27 05:24:55 well, from what I read in the docs Oct 27 05:24:59 iirc Oct 27 05:39:55 turns out i was indeed looking at outdated info, however i have added the entire library as an imported module in android studio and when i add it as a dependency for my app, it disappears Oct 27 05:40:07 i apply the settings, save the project, close it and open it and the entry is gone Oct 27 05:42:34 AS is very beta Oct 27 05:42:40 not production ready Oct 27 05:44:00 that has been a thought in the back of my head Oct 27 05:44:08 that this might just be some error Oct 27 05:44:26 thanks i guess it's time to go back to eclipse Oct 27 07:29:56 what makes you determine AS is not production ready? Oct 27 07:30:40 the IDE has been production ready for a decade Oct 27 08:01:01 <^cheeky> JakeWharton: hi, how could i use inBitmap to re-use images in picasso Oct 27 08:01:09 you can't Oct 27 08:02:52 <^cheeky> :( yeah i read that post where the d00d was trying to. Oct 27 08:03:44 <^cheeky> could you perhaps, give me a suggestion, since my grid view creates images all the time, at least clear the cache or something, and when using it in gridView, it really jump to like 67 mb :S Oct 27 08:05:14 RAM is fast. that's why we store a bunch of things there Oct 27 08:05:26 if you want to use less memory, make the LRU smaller Oct 27 08:06:31 <^cheeky> so it just puts it in the disk cache Oct 27 08:06:35 <^cheeky> ok ill give it a shot Oct 27 08:06:37 <^cheeky> thank you Oct 27 08:46:44 <^cheeky> is 48dp x 48dp good practice for a contact detail icon size ? i just think it looks really small on a nexus 10 Oct 27 08:49:47 so use a larger size for sw720dp Oct 27 08:53:40 <^cheeky> i set it to 72 dp still kinda small Oct 27 09:01:28 hello does default arrayadapter has a filter ? Oct 27 09:08:37 hi all Oct 27 09:30:18 gingerbread ui sucks Oct 27 09:30:27 Hey guys. I have a question about JNI Oct 27 09:32:11 I'm using gradle and have a .so file in jni/ Oct 27 09:32:32 but when I try to System.loadLibrary() it, I'm getting an exception that the file is not found Oct 27 09:33:32 Is there a way to determine whether a pointer has been moved out of a custom view without listening for ACTION_MOVE? Oct 27 09:39:18 ProgramMax: gradle doesn't support native libraries yet Oct 27 09:39:29 lasserix: ACTION_CANCEL Oct 27 09:39:42 JakeWharton: ahh thanks! Oct 27 09:44:36 <^cheeky> guys, whats a good colour, for text over an image ? Oct 27 09:44:39 <^cheeky> black .. Oct 27 09:44:49 Jake oh bummer. Yeah, I see some google posts about how to make a custom rule in gradle to put the .so in there Oct 27 09:45:02 I also renamed the .apk to .zip to look inside and sure enough, the .so isn't included Oct 27 09:45:11 so now I have a way to test if it is at least in the .apk somehow :D Oct 27 09:45:13 thanks Oct 27 10:07:43 hrmmmm still having problems Oct 27 10:07:46 I now see it there Oct 27 10:08:00 inside the apk it is under lib/armeabi/libmylib.so Oct 27 10:08:13 I'm calling System.loadLibrary("mylib"); Oct 27 10:13:34 I have implemented my own service and I'm successful in starting it, too successful: It seems as if the service remains running even if I push a new version of the app onto the device. Oct 27 10:13:38 I'd rather have my new version of the service class running. Oct 27 10:15:57 The "old version" of the service doesn't keep running.. That code doesn't exist anymore Oct 27 10:17:10 SimonVT: The service sets a field in its onStartCommand, if it isn't null (i.e. the first call to onStartCommand), it also uses a Toast to communicate the first start when the field was still null Oct 27 10:17:29 I saw the Toast exactly once, now it doesn't show anymore when updat Oct 27 10:17:33 updating the app Oct 27 10:21:23 You're mistaken, something else is going on Oct 27 10:25:31 SimonVT: Yes, I'm stupid, the condition read != null instead of == null, of course the first time is when the field is still on its default value, i.e. null head -> wall Oct 27 10:59:54 JakeWharton: is ACTION_CANCEL supposed to be triggered if a user starts ACTION_DOWN inside a custom view and drags their pointer outside the boundaries of the view? Oct 27 11:04:56 it's really hard debug an adapter Oct 27 12:10:23 <^cheeky> in a Gallery app, when the user clicks on a grid view item, whats the scale type for large image to be centered and nicely presented , i used centerCrop but it takes the screen, is it right just hack it up buy setting layout margins on the top and bottom ? **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Oct 27 12:14:10 2013 Oct 27 12:40:20 I've upgraded my SDK this week, and now my signed APKs won't get installed on devices any more :/ Oct 27 12:42:28 I'm using "ant release", looks like google is stopping support for it now Oct 27 12:43:43 and the error when installing via adb is INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES Oct 27 12:45:29 ouch. "Do not use JDK7 jarsigner command to sign apk" Oct 27 12:50:20 Guys, question: Why do the docs say that you should only start an AsyncTask from a UI thread? Oct 27 12:50:30 Because I'm starting it from a service, and it just works fine? Oct 27 12:50:33 the system requirements clearly say "JDK 6" not "JDK6 or newer" Oct 27 12:51:29 Is it considerd bad practice? Can it cripple the app somehow? Oct 27 12:51:43 Leeds: yeah, with my last debian update, java7 tools crept into the default path :( Oct 27 12:52:15 though having a proper error message instead of broken binaries might have helped with that :> Oct 27 12:52:17 allard: where does it say that? Oct 27 12:53:44 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html Oct 27 12:53:50 The AsyncTask class must be loaded on the UI thread. This is done automatically as of JELLY_BEAN. Oct 27 12:56:22 Or does a service run on the UI thread? Sorry for being so nooby, haha Oct 27 12:57:53 I think maybe it does Oct 27 12:59:09 need help resizing lockscreen's clock. ive been changing xml attributes on framework-res.apk but no changes seems to be made.. can someone help me ? Oct 27 12:59:18 how to get the default background of listview item ? Oct 27 13:15:58 I'm starting an activity from another using startActivity(). When I call this, my overridden onSaveInstanceState() is called. I call outState.putLong(...) ... but when I come back from the other activity and I'm in onCreate(), savedInstanceState is null. Surely as I saved state, I should get it back? Oct 27 13:16:38 :( Oct 27 13:16:45 my colors are dissapearing Oct 27 13:17:05 Perhaps I should be overriding onPause()? If so, where should I save my state? Oct 27 13:18:22 What I'm storing is the ID of the row of the database table that this activity is viewing data relating to. Oct 27 13:19:07 I see stuff about using SharedPreferences, but this isn't a user preference - it's just an ID which tells the activity its current state Oct 27 13:21:08 in a listview i set backgroundcolor and becomes white after i scroll Oct 27 13:21:31 what is the best android development book at the moment? Oct 27 13:23:31 there isnt Oct 27 13:26:45 Hi, coding for a widget button Oct 27 13:26:54 pressing a button advise all the widgets on the desktop Oct 27 13:26:59 and no the only one pressed Oct 27 13:27:04 some good tutorial? thanks Oct 27 13:28:28 i define the pendingIntent in a service so i think is a service coding problem!! Oct 27 13:35:50 getIntent().getExtras().getLong("whatever") .. in the Expression Evaluation windows in IDEA... Oct 27 13:35:57 returns what looks like nothing Oct 27 13:36:06 Wrap it in String.valueOf, you see the number. Oct 27 13:36:09 * rikkus shakes head Oct 27 13:37:15 Ok so I start a new activity, my onSaveInstanceState is called, but when I return, my onRestoreInstanceState isn't called - and my onCreate has a null savedInstanceState. What do I have to do? Oct 27 13:42:48 hello Oct 27 13:46:15 hello Oct 27 13:47:46 i am using drawerlayout and i want to add two fragments side by side in the framelayout Oct 27 13:47:51 how can i do this? Oct 27 14:51:29 anyone knows how to change lockscreen's clock font-size? tried on framework-res.apk but no changes seems to be made... Oct 27 15:15:48 How can I update gradle? Details... https://gist.github.com/tonsV2/6e8a13cea57fdb351906 Oct 27 15:21:39 any idea what to do when "build project" is grey in eclipse? Oct 27 15:24:44 hi all. Is there a value that specify the text size "text size large" as defined in ICS, i.e. 22sp? I would like avoid having to create that value hardcoded to 22sp, but instead i would like to use the current value in the current android system Oct 27 15:27:43 hi Oct 27 15:28:52 groton: android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" Oct 27 15:29:02 i am trying to use nested linear layouts to arrange 6 buttons in a 2x3 grid that is filling out the whole screen, but whatever i do, either one of the inner LinearLayouts is not showing, or the buttons don't expand to the full width or height of the screen Oct 27 15:29:45 is there any way to do this with linear layouts? Oct 27 15:31:16 i kind of miss a way of saying "This Layout should fill half of its parents width" Oct 27 15:32:03 why not use a gridlayout or relativelayout? Oct 27 15:32:41 with gridlayout i feel unflexible and relative layout is even harder to understand Oct 27 15:32:57 also it just bugs me that i don't figure out how to do it with LinearLayouts as i think it should be possible Oct 27 15:34:29 also i usually do it with swing and java also like that Oct 27 15:35:31 is there any detailed description how the layouting works, because from what i have read i only get pieces of the puzzle that don't make sense to me Oct 27 15:36:56 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/index.html Oct 27 15:38:35 yes, i have seen that one Oct 27 15:38:38 did i got any reply to my previous answer?

Would anyone know what's wrong? Oct 27 16:29:59 I changed my application to use the support libraries v4 and v7. In the menus, there are some options that use a checkbox. When I click on the menu, the action behind the menu item occurs, but the menu item isn't updated (the checkbox isn't toggled). Do I need to change something here? Oct 27 16:35:46 everyone know some tutorial or example for button widgets with many differents instance? Oct 27 16:51:12 Hello all, what's the best way to create a Sliding Menu supported in all (or almost all) Android versions? Oct 27 17:02:56 how do I find circle borders at X if if I know where y is? Oct 27 17:03:29 say if y is at some point within radius, I want to know border points at X at left and right Oct 27 17:04:16 do you know the radius Oct 27 17:04:21 yeah Oct 27 17:06:10 try sin(acos(y/r)) Oct 27 17:06:43 idk you may need to swap sin/cos so it's cos(asin(y/r)), also java may or may not call them arccos/arcsin :P Oct 27 17:06:52 lol ok Oct 27 17:07:27 hopeully it will allow me to not check every point in square around circle Oct 27 17:07:35 may be suffecent cpu savings Oct 27 17:07:39 uh, what are you trying to do Oct 27 17:08:01 well my app requires rather unusual drawing method Oct 27 17:08:33 WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO Oct 27 17:08:36 :P Oct 27 17:08:41 draw stuff lol Oct 27 17:08:44 if you're trying to draw a circle Oct 27 17:08:48 there are far far more efficient ways Oct 27 17:09:11 yeah like somedrawable.drawCircle(whatever) Oct 27 17:09:18 i mean, manually Oct 27 17:09:30 yeah? whats it Oct 27 17:13:11 Is it normal that looped sounds are only played 5 times in the emulator? Oct 27 17:13:19 3 Oct 27 17:13:23 sorry :) Oct 27 17:13:48 XXCoder: equation of the circle is (x)^2 + (y)^2 = r^2; but why do you want to draw it manually? you shouldn't Oct 27 17:14:02 XXCoder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_circle_algorithm though the code given is for the border, not filling it Oct 27 17:14:23 well it does require rather unusual drawing effect. no such effect exists in library Oct 27 17:14:32 XXCoder: anyway, yeah, you shouldn't really need to draw it manually either.. what effect? Oct 27 17:15:05 lol well basically dent color between two pictures Oct 27 17:15:12 'dent'? Oct 27 17:15:28 difference? if so, OpenGL can in fact do that Oct 27 17:16:02 basically circles push colors one way or other towards certain picture and draw effect Oct 27 17:17:00 so you're essentially drawing grayscale circles, then using that as a blend between two pictures Oct 27 17:17:15 yeah sorry, but i don't see why this can't be done with built-in primitives :P Oct 27 17:19:29 I tried that, it was so computually expensive Oct 27 17:19:38 and effect wasnt still right Oct 27 17:20:44 do you guys think it's better to be a self employed android developer or to work for a dev shop? Oct 27 17:21:12 if you repeatively draw color at alpha 1, it will not evenually add up to 255 of that color Oct 27 17:21:47 if it was computationally expensive, you're doing it wrong Oct 27 17:22:12 repeatedly drawing a color at alpha 1 is an example of doing it wrong :P Oct 27 17:22:16 what I did orginially is use red color for creating alpha mask Oct 27 17:22:23 then use colormatrix Oct 27 17:22:55 thing is its not just draw once effect, its dynimatic and constantly changing Oct 27 17:23:12 it would help if i knew the full scope of what's intended to be drawn, and why Oct 27 17:23:22 i see Oct 27 17:23:31 oh its just live wallpaper. the effect is the point :) Oct 27 17:24:02 so you're drawing moving circles that slowly blend one picture to another? Oct 27 17:24:03 also why I wanna keep cpu low. it dont run while covered by some app but I want it to not eat battery too much Oct 27 17:24:37 almost. it tries to blend both ways with some pushing one way and some other way Oct 27 17:24:41 how many pictures are there, how many circles are drawn per frame Oct 27 17:25:24 3 pictures, including final result picture. # of circles is selectable Oct 27 17:25:44 are we talking 10 or are we talking 3000 Oct 27 17:26:04 it matters :/ Oct 27 17:26:06 oh max 20 Oct 27 17:26:26 i think you can do this with renderscript, let me see Oct 27 17:26:32 ok Oct 27 17:27:50 well, in any case i know you can do it with OpenGL Oct 27 17:27:59 hmm got idea on avoiding square root and powers :) simply just pre-calculate edges Oct 27 17:28:09 its not like it changes at all. Oct 27 17:28:30 pre-calculate each time setting is changed Oct 27 17:29:02 thanks for this idea, even though you didnt directly suggest it lol Oct 27 17:32:30 trying to implement a phoneStateLIstener in a Service, getting strange lifecycle problems Oct 27 17:32:30 http://pastebin.com/JAeKXtgU Oct 27 17:33:19 onCreate() is calling just fine, but onStartCommand (started in an activity from startService) is hanging Oct 27 17:33:43 suggestions on what is going wrong with the service lifecycle are greatly appreciated Oct 27 17:34:09 does anyone know of a coverflow/carousel library that doesn't extend the deprecated Gallery? Oct 27 17:36:37 XXCoder: too lazy to figure out the details, but I'd definitely use OpenGL ES for this, rendering the circles to a temp buffer/texture, then using that to draw the pictures blended Oct 27 17:37:15 yeah I did something like that. dynimatic alpha using red channel Oct 27 17:37:19 Hi, my webview is not loading my url https://gist.github.com/jrm2k6/46db680650fe86f2d1bc any idea what is wrong with it? permission for internet are in the manifest so it is not because of this Oct 27 17:37:39 XXCoder: how did you render the circles? Oct 27 17:38:07 I have array of colors and I just directly modify em then bitmap.setPixels Oct 27 17:38:16 XXCoder: 'cause you should be doing them with OpenGL, probably just a polygon Oct 27 17:38:39 XXCoder: temp buffer being memory on the graphics card, not in your program Oct 27 17:38:54 problem theres no history with that Oct 27 17:39:03 yes tehre is, you don't ever clear the temp buffer Oct 27 17:39:29 the fb should be doublebuffered, so you just draw the whole images every time Oct 27 17:39:45 hmm gonna reserach later, eat time :) thanks for help! Oct 27 17:39:45 it's actually faster to blit a texture from graphics memory to graphics memory :/ Oct 27 17:39:57 than it is to update just the changed portions Oct 27 17:40:40 i'm fetching a user's timeline from twitter, in the tweet's text i get things like "bla & bla2". What's the proper way of fixing that to "bla & bla2" ? Oct 27 17:41:32 slice that string osxorgate Oct 27 17:44:31 Lemminkainen: what do you mean slice? Oct 27 17:45:18 <|0xD34D|> osxorgate: something like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17893043/removing-html-tags-and-converting-special-characters-in-rss-feed-from-facebook perhaps? Oct 27 17:45:34 ugh Oct 27 17:45:42 :( Oct 27 17:45:57 <|0xD34D|> I could have sworn there is some class that has a method to do just that Oct 27 17:46:05 maybe the textutils thing Oct 27 17:46:23 <|0xD34D|> I know TextUtils can encode a string and replace & with & Oct 27 17:47:37 Html.fromHtml((String) htmlCode).toString(); lets try that Oct 27 17:52:59 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Html.html will do it, with the caveat that HTML tags will be parsed too Oct 27 17:54:33 Hey, can someone do me a huge fav and take a look at an example on line and tell me if they're doing it wrong or if i'm loosing my mind? :) Oct 27 17:54:38 kind of silly that TextUtils has a htmlEncode, but not htmlDecode Oct 27 17:54:40 Example is... http://mossila.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/android-dialog-single-choice-items/ Oct 27 17:55:10 Tryingj to use setSingleChoiceItems() and the example is feeding it a String[] as its first option but the android docs say it will take a CharSequence Oct 27 17:56:12 Eclipse is saying that I can't do this... Im reading that String implements CharSequence so i'm thinking i may simply need to convert it? But want to make sure i'm not missing something from the example... Oct 27 17:57:11 Specifically in the example i linked to, line 17 in the first chunk of code. Oct 27 17:59:21 phutchins: there are 4 variations of setSingleChoiceItems() Oct 27 17:59:44 none of which have String[] as a first param Oct 27 18:00:27 osxorgate: Yeah, And i see that one of them doesn't take an int as the first argument, and takes a CharSequence, which is the closest i think to what im trying to do Oct 27 18:00:34 osxorgate: ok right. so thte example is wrong? Oct 27 18:00:58 idunno, it uses CharSequence[] choiceList as first param Oct 27 18:01:36 which seems to be ok, looking at the 4 options Oct 27 18:01:44 so whats your problem exactly Oct 27 18:02:08 Oh, my problem is that i pasted the wrong link :) Oct 27 18:02:11 http://tracker.aripuca.com/blog/2011/09/restore-sqlite-database-from-external-file/ Oct 27 18:02:29 line 17 on the first chunk there... The other link is me trying to find a correct example. Oct 27 18:03:11 I guess if the example is wrong I can figure out how to get the results of File blah.list() which is a string, converted to a CharSequence[] Oct 27 18:03:15 and i should be good Oct 27 18:04:37 how about you write "final CharSequence[] importFiles" Oct 27 18:04:53 final CharSequence[] importFiles = importFolder.list(); Oct 27 18:04:55 yeah thats what i did Oct 27 18:05:01 thx :) Oct 27 18:05:24 didn't realize i could output .list to a charsequence[] Oct 27 18:05:45 was just seriously thrown off trying to learn from an incorrect example... Oct 27 18:07:34 FYI, i'm trying to import a sqlite db dump from a previously exported backup Oct 27 18:07:42 I got the backup working... just have to do the import Oct 27 18:15:52 JakeWharton: Are you guys staying with Maven for the moment or is a transition to Gradle in progress or planned? Oct 27 18:16:23 I'm currently pondering myself if I should stick with Maven (because I have a few Java-only projects too on the server side) or jump onto the Gradle wagon. Oct 27 18:20:32 i get warnings for using nested layout_weights, but i want my inner LinearLayout being stretch horizontally and its elements vertically Oct 27 18:20:46 how to circumvent that? Oct 27 18:22:47 LtRipley, well, it IS a warning Oct 27 18:23:00 is your layouting slow because of it? Oct 27 18:23:49 Mavrik: i interpreteted it in away that it was avoidable Oct 27 18:23:59 but most of the warnings don't really say me anythin Oct 27 18:24:06 i usually treat warnings like errors Oct 27 18:24:25 I think that warning is a mistake Oct 27 18:24:46 if the orientations of the linearlayouts are different, obviously they aren't reducible to one linearlayout Oct 27 18:25:15 LtRipley, mhm, basically it's telling you that that computation may take a long time Oct 27 18:25:25 that is, layout computation Oct 27 18:25:38 usually avoiding linear layouts nested like that is one way Oct 27 18:25:51 the other way is to write your own viewgroup if you want maximum speed Oct 27 18:26:04
