**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jan 09 02:59:58 2014 Jan 09 03:07:59 eghdk: call super first Jan 09 03:08:06 nick9998: that doesn't make any sense Jan 09 03:10:57 So I have to list my key alias.. which one is it exactly? Jan 09 03:11:09 I've listed it using the keytool Jan 09 03:11:19 but I'm not sure where the "alias" is Jan 09 03:11:57 I'm supposed to 'Replace your_alias_name with the alias that you assigned to the certificate when you created it.' Jan 09 03:12:30 thanks durka42. Any material I can read up on for this? Im never sure when to call super first? Jan 09 03:12:58 it might be mentioned in the activity lifecycle docs Jan 09 03:13:05 AFAIK whenever you have to call super, you do it first Jan 09 03:15:44 <|0xD34D|> I've seen cases where super is called last Jan 09 03:15:55 so if I'm using my API key I generatd with my debug keystore for Google Maps, do I need to generate a separate SHA1 for use with the release/signed APK? Jan 09 03:17:43 yes Jan 09 03:21:32 i have a bouncy ball Jan 09 03:21:46 boingggg Jan 09 03:21:46 jealouse ?? Jan 09 03:23:18 its actually quite lame Jan 09 03:24:34 i am ashamed, on the bright side ,people love my youtube channel Jan 09 03:24:50 can someone kick him please ? Jan 09 03:25:02 what did i say Jan 09 03:27:29 bankai_, was that yes directed at my question? Jan 09 03:27:43 yes Jan 09 03:35:16 100dpi = 1 inch? Jan 09 03:35:56 What does this "auto-import" checkbox do when importing a project into android studio? Jan 09 03:47:46 i dont know what auto-import does ,sorry Jan 09 03:49:25 bankai_, ok thanks Jan 09 04:02:31 evanc: apparently, "ant debug install", "ant release install" to build and install - or "ant installd", "ant installr" to just install... thanks for the pointer! Jan 09 04:30:19 any flingers in the audience, tonight? Jan 09 04:30:40 audioflinger experts,that is-- not booger flingers Jan 09 04:33:48 hi guys Jan 09 04:34:00 what are the general online storage options for data Jan 09 04:34:01 hey boss Jan 09 04:34:07 my data inlcudes text images Jan 09 04:34:16 text is solveable by using dbs Jan 09 04:34:20 but what about images Jan 09 04:35:41 hmm well u have a bunch of options Jan 09 04:35:59 namely Jan 09 04:36:30 well there are amazon's offerings, then there's google's Jan 09 04:37:15 can you give me links Jan 09 04:37:24 (i am looking for preferably free ones Jan 09 04:37:27 for now Jan 09 04:37:35 later i might host on a private server) Jan 09 04:37:59 yea im sure u can get trials and what not Jan 09 04:38:05 let me get those links for u Jan 09 04:38:38 nick9998: thanks Jan 09 04:38:42 i saw this gravity movie today-- masterpiece Jan 09 04:39:52 I have an activity which calls a method makeWebRequest() on the onCreate() method... I want to create that activity in a test with robolectrict, but I want makeWebRequest method to be a no-op (as in, calling the method should have no effect whatsoever). Is that possible? I'd normally spy the activity, but I can't spy the activity before robolectric calls the onCreate method Jan 09 04:40:09 how can I do that? Jan 09 04:40:21 awefaw: you would use intents Jan 09 04:40:50 nick9998: You already told me that you don't know what robolectric is... Jan 09 04:41:02 nick9998: What you are saying makes no sense! Jan 09 04:41:05 i still dont Jan 09 04:42:48 dont run any onCreate code if you dont want to, whats the big whoop Jan 09 04:43:30 can a shadowclass from robolectric "replace" a method of the realclass? Jan 09 04:44:41 nick9998: links? Jan 09 04:44:53 awefaw: shouldn't you refer to robolectric documentation Jan 09 04:46:52 situations like this is where injection and mockito are great Jan 09 04:55:37 goodbye, jews Jan 09 04:56:23 wtf Jan 09 04:57:52 he's been saying weird shit for the last few hours Jan 09 04:58:14 drunk anyway Jan 09 04:58:39 *maybe :P Jan 09 05:02:35 damn it capella https://www.howsmyssl.com/ Jan 09 05:02:46 "Your SSL client is Bad." Jan 09 05:07:07 anybody Jan 09 05:07:11 know any preferably Jan 09 05:07:18 free links Jan 09 05:07:22 for hosting data Jan 09 05:07:36 the data i want to store is both images and entries that can be stored in dbs Jan 09 05:17:08 is the Android gradle plugin source publicly available? Trying to sort through what ndk support is available in the latest release. It's crazy that the only info seems to be in SO answers… Jan 09 05:19:49 dbro: what is gradle? Jan 09 05:22:55 the new android build tool. It acts where Apache ant did before Jan 09 05:28:09 wtf, AS 0.4.2 already Jan 09 05:28:23 i knew this thing was fucking cursed Jan 09 05:29:04 that means Tor & co were staying late ;) Jan 09 05:29:18 they could go home at a normal time if they just did a better job of testing :| Jan 09 05:34:47 g00s: or not go home at all Jan 09 05:34:59 who said there *is* testing ;) Jan 09 05:35:17 :) Jan 09 05:35:26 well, we test :) Jan 09 05:36:12 dbro i have apache ant Jan 09 05:36:17 should i replace it Jan 09 05:37:53 no, but might be worth looking into gradle. Especially if you plan on moving to Android Studio Jan 09 05:42:49 I don't really understand why they had to go and replace everything Jan 09 05:44:25 to endear themselves with the "hip" younguns of the innernet. ;-) Jan 09 05:44:58 ant adoption & usage has been in decline for years Jan 09 05:45:10 there is a reason for that ;) Jan 09 05:45:13 I am a former committer to the Apache Maven project Jan 09 05:45:32 joakime not any more ? Jan 09 05:45:48 moved on, working on Eclipse Jetty now. Jan 09 05:45:54 nice Jan 09 05:46:00 but i use maven for android development (just because i'm like that!) Jan 09 05:46:13 impressive Jan 09 05:46:18 well, you're probably really familiar with it :) Jan 09 05:46:26 gradle takes some time to learn Jan 09 05:51:30 there's lots of reasons to switch to gradle Jan 09 05:51:43 chief among them, ant sucks Jan 09 05:55:00 maven 's pretty shitty too. Jan 09 05:57:48 but the real question is, does gradle suck in new and different ways? Jan 09 05:59:38 that's like asking if sun rises. it's software after all Jan 09 05:59:51 :) Jan 09 06:00:09 Anyone having trouble setting Gradle home with AS 0.4.2. I fresh installed gradle 1.9 via homebrew, and point AS to /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/1.9 , and every dir above and below.. Each time it reports "Gradle lcation is incorrect" Jan 09 06:00:24 maybe this speaks to durka42's question… Jan 09 06:01:04 g00s: That was with desktop FF? I get |Your SSL client is Probably Okay.| Jan 09 06:01:14 both Jan 09 06:01:26 are you using aurora or something ? Jan 09 06:01:41 i think they are going to fix it in ff 27 Jan 09 06:01:53 but still, it took them fucking forever and a day Jan 09 06:02:47 Nightly of course :D Jan 09 06:03:04 I eat dogfood ;) Jan 09 06:03:19 dbro i noticed as 0.4.2 is retarded, and asks for my gradle dir but insists on installing the gradle wrapper in the project anyhow Jan 09 06:04:44 how do i show the menu button at the bottom? Jan 09 06:05:30 g00s: Something does seem off. When I try to import a project without a gradle wrapper, it prompts for "Gradle home" and refuses to take any path whatsoever. Aye aye aye Jan 09 06:05:59 but if I create a new project with a wrapper, and manually change the Gradle settings to "use local distribution" and point it to my local install, it builds fine Jan 09 06:06:17 dbro where was that setting again ? Jan 09 06:06:52 It's a project setting, so once you have a project opened you can : Android Studio -> Preferences -> Gradle Jan 09 06:07:08 hm thx Jan 09 06:12:15 g00s is it possible to do custom fonts on the action bar Jan 09 06:13:55 yes. two ways: disable normal title and set the action bar's custom view with your own TextView, or use the normal title and a typeface spannable Jan 09 06:23:33 JakeWharton: can you show me the second one i cant seem to find it anywhere Jan 09 06:23:54 do i need otf or ttf Jan 09 06:23:55 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/TypefaceSpan.html Jan 09 06:25:03 don't think you can do custom typefaces with that span Jan 09 06:25:06 might need to roll your own Jan 09 06:28:45 yep, you need to roll your own Jan 09 06:28:52 there's ton of example when googling Jan 09 06:31:33 that sucks that google would not create an api for that Jan 09 06:31:43 JakeWharton: surely there is a way to set the global font Jan 09 06:31:51 no Jan 09 06:32:31 what? Jan 09 06:32:32 wow Jan 09 06:32:56 JakeWharton: okay so to igve you a better idea im trying to do something like this Jan 09 06:32:57 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tul.aviate&hl=en Jan 09 06:33:28 you're trying to be acquired by Yahoo? Jan 09 06:34:55 likely a custom view inside the action bar Jan 09 06:34:58 or not even the action bar at all Jan 09 06:37:09 really Jan 09 06:37:17 JakeWharton: nothing like that Jan 09 06:37:29 I am just curious, if other people can do it why cant i Jan 09 06:37:31 hmmmm Jan 09 06:37:37 i just told you two ways to do it Jan 09 06:38:04 either of which could have been done in the amount of time we have been having this conversation Jan 09 06:38:14 how do you do the second Jan 09 06:38:19 cause i havent been able to do it Jan 09 06:38:36 google "android custom typeface span" Jan 09 06:40:03 every result has practically the same implementation Jan 09 06:40:19 it's basically TypefaceSpan but with an added arg to pass in the Typeface rather than the name Jan 09 06:40:50 JakeWharton: your first way Jan 09 06:40:58 just inherits from the actionbar right? Jan 09 06:41:34 no, you just make a TextView, set the typeface, call actionBar.setCustomView(textView), and call actionBar.setDisplayCustomEnabled(true); Jan 09 06:41:47 and actionBar.setDisplayTitleEnabled(false); Jan 09 06:43:20 JakeWharton: something like this http://stackoverflow.com/a/8748802 Jan 09 06:44:02 that'll work. i usually just instantiate the TextView in code. unless you need more complex layouts, there isn't much point in inflating an XML Jan 09 06:44:14 okay Jan 09 06:44:30 well based on what you have seen with the link to the app I showed you Jan 09 06:44:39 I probably will require a lot of custom items Jan 09 06:44:55 oops it broke Jan 09 06:46:40 JakeWharton: it says it cant find my customtextview which is referenced in my xml Jan 09 06:50:01 JakeWharton: any ideas? Jan 09 07:00:35 man this quiet NDK support in the latest Android gradle plugin is getting me excited Jan 09 07:01:47 To Xavier and the gang I send love Jan 09 07:02:03 tonight I'll drift to sleep a little happier… maybe dreaming of ART, and the Android framework rewritten in Go Jan 09 07:03:11 dbro: i am having osme trouble with some code, might you spare a few minutes Jan 09 07:03:13 http://stackoverflow.com/a/15181195 Jan 09 07:03:53 hey not this second, but I'll be around here and there. Take it slow, and try it yourself Jan 09 07:04:01 you'll probably be surprised what you can do yourself Jan 09 07:05:06 i tried it Jan 09 07:05:13 ive been struggling for past 1 hour Jan 09 07:05:18 dbro: ^ Jan 09 07:11:43 hi all Jan 09 07:21:21 hello Jan 09 07:21:33 what is it called when you have a dialog/alert box, and you tap the background to cancel it? Jan 09 07:31:33 Can I open a custom view from a URL the user clicks on the WebView i open ? I have defined a custom data URI my app listens to Jan 09 07:32:25 Can I do Click Me ? Jan 09 07:33:48 or do I need special treatment for my_custom_view_name to work ? Jan 09 07:46:30 hi Jan 09 08:16:44 JakeWharton: i tried work still no luck Jan 09 08:16:49 *i tried both Jan 09 08:18:53 can anyone help with custom font in title for action bar Jan 09 08:42:32 anyone? Jan 09 08:42:33 able to help? Jan 09 08:59:47 Hey, I'm a Java developer with years of experience and want to start learning Android. Can you recommend any tutorials, websites or books (preferably 4.x compatible). Thanks in advance! Jan 09 09:00:38 d.android.com Jan 09 09:01:21 developer.android.com Jan 09 09:01:33 and buy a book Jan 09 09:01:50 I saw that URL in this topic. But can you please point me out where to begin? I see only documenttion on there Jan 09 09:02:44 Buy a book was my plan. But which one? I heard Manning: Android in Action is a good one. But I can't find an edition for 4.x. Only the 3rd edition which is for 3.x Jan 09 09:02:58 RawChid: you can see some people set up their IDE and run hello world on youtube Jan 09 09:03:07 It's hard to say which is best... Jan 09 09:03:24 But i say look on amazon and take a look at some reviews Jan 09 09:03:38 There are a lot of tutorials on youtube available for free Jan 09 09:05:06 Thnx for the tips. I prefer text over video though. Easier to see what I can skip Jan 09 09:05:31 I'll continue my search :-) Jan 09 09:08:00 RawChid, https://developer.android.com/training/index.html Jan 09 09:09:35 alex_PP: I jusst found that one! thnx Jan 09 09:09:42 Installing Eclipse ADT now :) Jan 09 09:10:19 i have an apk built via apktool, but when it runs, it's just giving me a black screen and logcat is saying "Process xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx (pid XXXX) has died" (via ActivityManager) over and over... any tips on how i can trace what's causing ActivityManager to keep killing the process? Jan 09 09:11:00 (there's already an issue filed on apktool for this, https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=442 and #apktool is dead, so i thought i'd try here) Jan 09 09:15:50 Hello! Anyone here who encountered platforms where applications couldn't load native libs causing ANR in System.loadLibrary? Jan 09 09:43:22 hello everybody. Jan 09 09:44:46 I have a requirement in which when i click on my application from HOME, it launches an activity which does some processing and when its done it opens an another activity Jan 09 09:45:36 If i do the same thing in service and when done open the second activity from the service how much will it affect the performance. Since opening an activity takes time Jan 09 09:45:57 will opening a service takes the same time as opening an activity Jan 09 09:45:59 ?? Jan 09 09:47:03 DarkSlay3r: do oyu mind helping me with a styling question Jan 09 09:47:21 its about action bars and custom fonts Jan 09 09:48:41 alex_PP: ^^ any help Jan 09 09:59:56 sunny_slls: a service generally boils down to creating an instance and calling its oncreate method. It should take very little time. In general opening activities shouldn't be much slower either except if you have to create a new process to hold it and all that stuff which takes setup time Jan 09 10:03:39 alankila: mind helping me everyone else seems asleep Jan 09 10:03:58 don't know much about styling Jan 09 10:04:24 damn Jan 09 10:04:32 hmmmm i am missing something Jan 09 10:04:39 i mean this should be quite simple Jan 09 10:06:05 no fucking way Jan 09 10:06:19 this has got to be a joke Jan 09 10:06:38 holy shi i got it Jan 09 10:09:04 Morning all Jan 09 10:44:04 has anyone had a problem with some reds not rendering correctly on some devices? Jan 09 10:44:47 I have an icon with 3 shades of red, it looks fine on my N7 and N4 but when I try it on my GalaxyTab 10.1 one of the reds merges with one of the other reds Jan 09 10:47:51 I'm implementing ActionbarCompat in my problem. I've added compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.+' and ./gradlew :app:dependencies shows it properly but Android Studio (0.4.2) doesn't see it. Any idea? Jan 09 10:48:27 s/problem/project Jan 09 10:51:04 anyone ever have a problem with the emulator just showing a black screen (mac)? eclipse says my apk installed successfully, and that it's launching Jan 09 10:51:22 i just created the emulator and it's the first one on this machine, so i've yet to have a working one Jan 09 10:52:12 Ankhwatcher: it may be that the device's gamut is simply not wide enough to allow distinguishing between all shades Jan 09 10:52:23 you should be happy that it is color-correcting, though Jan 09 10:53:30 is there a way to re-incode the image which might get me closer to it's original shades? Jan 09 10:54:12 probably not, but if you reduce saturation then it is likely that any device can dislay distinct 3 shades... Jan 09 10:54:38 this diagnosis of course relies on the theory of too narrow hardware gamut being the problem Jan 09 10:55:15 but there's some reason to believe that this could be true -- the mobile device dislays are rarely as good as the LCD monitors we use, for instance. Jan 09 10:55:22 on the GTab running stock you can put it into "movie mode" and the three shades will become distinct Jan 09 10:55:36 also the apparent gamut is a function of the lighting conditions the device is in Jan 09 10:56:26 due to reflections from the dislay glass which in effect gives a kind of background level for color channels and thus washes out all colors by default Jan 09 11:26:35 does anybody happen to know where I'm supposed to add the Google+ community in the Google Play Developer Console for my alpha application? For the life of god, I can't seem to find it... Jan 09 11:27:55 you'll find it @ apk settings Jan 09 11:28:58 All Applications > (click on app) -> APK? Jan 09 11:29:27 aaaaaaaargh, found it Jan 09 11:29:32 hehe Jan 09 11:29:34 you need to click on "Manage list of testers" Jan 09 11:29:42 yes Jan 09 11:30:12 seems like publishing is the hard part :) thanks Jan 09 11:32:32 you're welcome... Jan 09 12:12:24 Has anyone one used @OnItemClick in JakeWharton 's Butterknife library? I'm looking for an example Jan 09 12:18:56 Ankhwatcher: https://github.com/JakeWharton/butterknife/blob/master/butterknife-sample/src/main/java/com/example/butterknife/SimpleActivity.java Jan 09 12:21:24 thepoosh: ah cool, now i just need to figure out what I did to make this list no-longer clickable Jan 09 12:38:25 onCreate is called after onPause in an activity containing fragments Jan 09 12:38:31 why? Jan 09 12:45:34 mygreymatter: I suspect you're wrong Jan 09 12:49:09 mygreymatter: http://developer.android.com/images/training/basics/basic-lifecycle-paused.png Jan 09 13:03:48 somebody experience with otto lib? I'm using it basically but now I need to do something else but would like to know if something is possible Jan 09 13:04:57 good thing your description is so precise we can give you an answer :) Jan 09 13:06:37 something is always possible Jan 09 13:07:03 well, I get a json result from api call. each object of the jsonArray contains a "location":locID", or sometimes a "location="{"_id"="locID", "address="Street ABC"} Jan 09 13:07:49 how should my model class be? String locationID and CustomLocation location ? Jan 09 13:11:23 * not otto lib but gson Jan 09 13:16:46 hi, how would I write a double array into a file (raw audio data)? At the moment I'm converting each recorded short to 2 bytes and write them using a buffered outputstream. As I need to convert the data at some point for analysis (one to determine if the audio data is relevant and should be written and later reloading the written data for further analysis) , is it possible to save one cast and save them as double? Jan 09 13:25:39 Hello, I have a situation. Android ICS lvl 15, rooted. System bar hide by service call activity 42 s16 com.android.systemui, launching app, but still getting the height-sysbarHeight, have done dumpsys window windows and have got Display: init=800x480 base=800x480 cur=800x480 app=800x444 raw=800x480, so I assume is getting the app values. Do anywan has any idea how can I shell-override this? Jan 09 13:26:08 anyone* xD Jan 09 13:27:11 sorry wrong channel Jan 09 13:27:46 Mornin'! Jan 09 13:29:53 I can't make my emulator faster if the cpu doesn't support KVM, right? (on ubuntu) Jan 09 13:37:00 ironmarx you have a beard? Jan 09 13:42:46 lasserix: What a peculiar question. No, I shaved it off yesterday. Jan 09 13:44:21 by chance did you shave it off for "the" cause? Jan 09 13:47:18 hello Jan 09 13:47:24 why is that? http://wstaw.org/m/2014/01/09/1596493_379284505542445_690648183_o.jpg Jan 09 13:47:29 lasserix: Mmmm no, I didn't have a cause. It was just kind of a pain, I like to mix it up, I'm meeting some new folks today, etc. The time was just right. Jan 09 13:47:58 ahh i was just wondering about your choice of name ;p Jan 09 13:48:32 i switched android:orientation="horizontal" and this is how it accually works Jan 09 13:48:35 karab is that a n10 or n7? Jan 09 13:48:38 7 Jan 09 13:48:55 lasserix: Mostly arbitrary, really. Iron came from an old moniker, Marx was a nasty villain from a Nintendo classic. Jan 09 13:49:02 yeah i believe landscape is not supported as homescreen on n7? Jan 09 13:49:23 lasserix: That can't be true. Jan 09 13:49:24 how do you know it's nexus btw? :) Jan 09 13:49:25 or homescreen is locked into portrait by default on n7 Jan 09 13:49:35 karab44: What is the end goal? Jan 09 13:49:36 i have one Jan 09 13:49:40 ;p Jan 09 13:49:59 ironmarx: end goal is that emulator shows different result on the same app Jan 09 13:50:29 And I don't know why is that Jan 09 13:51:02 karab44: Not sure... Emulators are strange beasts. Trust your Nexus before the emulator. Jan 09 13:51:03 did you navigate on the emulator into settings and rotate the screen? Jan 09 13:51:24 No, just CTRL F11 Jan 09 13:53:05 Where can I change it to landscape in settings? Jan 09 13:54:13 in settings somewhere? Jan 09 13:55:23 It's not there Jan 09 13:55:43 I wouldn't ask if I didn't look for it Jan 09 14:03:14 Is nexus 7 really behave this way? Can somebody confirm that? I actually use nexus 7 2nd gen. Jan 09 14:04:09 morning Jan 09 14:12:22 karab44, emulator can be buggy sometimes when it gets to orientation changes Jan 09 14:12:26 my Nexus 7 2nd gen rotates by default Jan 09 14:12:35 karab44, the other thing is you might have rotated it the wrong way Č= Jan 09 14:12:37 :) Jan 09 14:13:25 no no, I tried both ways. Result is that hardware always rotates no matter what are the settings, emulator never rotates no matter what are the settings. Jan 09 14:13:43 thats what i mean first gen doesn't Jan 09 14:13:50 am guessing the emu is first gen? Jan 09 14:13:54 yes Jan 09 14:14:19 So basicly is it correct? Jan 09 14:14:42 yeah Jan 09 14:14:46 cant you just take a screenshot from device? Jan 09 14:14:59 okay but what about my hw, it always rotates, that's funny also Jan 09 14:15:19 lasserix: what do you mean take screenshot from device? What for? Jan 09 14:15:58 nm Jan 09 14:16:15 I sent photo how does it look Jan 09 14:17:18 yeah Jan 09 14:18:00 your anti-glare screen lessens the flash from blinding us Jan 09 14:18:51 sorry for that :) Jan 09 14:23:52 this rotation... maybe it's nothing but it broke my concentration... Jan 09 14:28:20 for a year input I'd like to put "20" and have the user fill in the rest, can I stop them from deleting the "20"? Jan 09 14:30:55 Ankhwatcher: that seems easy, just handle the value change and if it's a numerical value < 100 then add 2000 Jan 09 14:33:39 Ankhwatcher: That pretty much hard limits your app to a thousand years. :\ Jan 09 14:34:25 Ankhwatcher: sounds like you need a prefixed-edittext Jan 09 14:34:49 actually it hard limits it to 85 years Jan 09 14:34:54 http://loopj.com/android-async-http/ Jan 09 14:35:05 Ankhwatcher: https://gist.github.com/alexfu/5996908 Jan 09 14:35:10 on the example under recommended usage:making a startic http client Jan 09 14:35:21 Ankhwatcher: Until 20,xxx AD comes around. Jan 09 14:36:09 ironmarx: not if I set the edittext character limit to 4, which I will Jan 09 14:36:18 would the client be static in this case? from what i understand about programming, it would be a static client that would be used for all calls made from one instance of the class, but each instance of the twitterRestClient would endup with their own AsyncHttpClient? Jan 09 14:37:10 alexfu: that's cool, thanks! Jan 09 14:39:23 hey guys, does android handle tabulation, or jump line Jan 09 14:39:26 like in C langage Jan 09 14:39:30 \n \t Jan 09 14:39:41 or strings display Jan 09 14:39:50 on* Jan 09 14:40:29 macTAR: there's formatting support on a typical string resource, and textviews can have styles associated. I think the answer is generally yes. Jan 09 14:41:59 public class TwitterRestClient { Jan 09 14:41:59 private static AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient(); Jan 09 14:43:16 JeremieDeNoob: a naming convention issue, you should call static members by all-uppercase names. That would be CLIENT Jan 09 14:43:43 ok, but would this be a static client for all instances of the TwitterRest Jan 09 14:43:44 also this may require the client to be thread safe. I am not familiar with asynchttpclient class. Jan 09 14:43:49 client object* Jan 09 14:43:58 its example code from loopj Jan 09 14:44:32 I see, asynchttpclient is already moving networking off the caller thread. Jan 09 14:44:44 so you can just call it and it will invoke the handler when the response is ready, it seems. Jan 09 14:45:36 I don't liket he onSuccess(String response) API though. Responses are not always correctly conceptualized as strings but may be byte streams. Jan 09 14:45:56 yeah, but my question is related to android... as i am new on this platform. but will each TwitterRestCLient instance use the same CLIENT or is the static only valid accross a single instance of TwitterRestClient Jan 09 14:46:12 the staticness means similar thing to a global variable Jan 09 14:46:30 it is initialized when class is loaded into memory, and all instances reference the same object Jan 09 14:46:44 Any Google Analytics users on? What is a good way to filter out crash reports on my production device? I could change the version number until build time, which would separate them out by version number. I would prefer a better method though. Jan 09 14:51:06 alankila: ok thank you! Jan 09 14:51:36 i wasnt sure the scope of the staticness... but i guess if it only affected one instance of an object it would be the same as a private Jan 09 14:55:41 alankila: i confirm it works :) Jan 09 15:00:57 I have a feeling that to make an app really stable you will have lots of try catch blocks, especially when dealing with the local sqlite DB Jan 09 15:01:23 jonc: why w/ the local DB? Jan 09 15:01:43 to make sure the cursors can close and to end transactions Jan 09 15:02:40 try catch finally (close cursor and end transaction) Jan 09 15:05:20 best practice. I'm also catching any throwables in things scheduled at fixed rate / fixed delay Jan 09 15:05:24 JeremieDeNoob: well, apart from the way that it is initialized at a different time and not collected until the class is unloaded (which is potentially never) Jan 09 15:06:13 jonc: you'll be happy with kitkat and its try-with-resources. Jan 09 15:06:56 jonc: but sure, the runtimeexceptions are a bane of programming, though probably a lesser evil than checked exceptions considering that you do have the option of ignoring the runtime exceptions and writing minimally defensive code that avoids most cases of such Jan 09 15:07:31 jonc: the close function doesnt actually throw an exception Jan 09 15:07:37 for instance I generally avoid returning null values from methods that return lists, I prefer Collections.emptyList() and similar Jan 09 15:07:42 i dont think Jan 09 15:08:20 and I prefer static final variables, immutable objects, etc. Jan 09 15:08:21 Yeah, the main reason I am just taking any runtime exception and logging it in scheduled threads is because they will not run again if an exception is thrown. I'd rather log it and have the thread run the next time Jan 09 15:11:32 will it get unloaded if it goes out of scope? I need the staticness of the client to always be the same across the entire app Jan 09 15:17:57 Hey guys, does anyone of you know when the DownloadManager service (android.app.DownloadManager) started supporting HTTPS? I know it didn't work in Gingerbread, and it did in ICS, but what API version did it start? Jan 09 15:19:19 Is there a built in Object Pool for java / android? Jan 09 15:20:27 someone needs to make the checkboxes neutral colored in Kitkat's .1 release. Jan 09 15:21:39 I'll be creating and dropping 50k objects fairly frequently so I think it'd be best to just use a pool of them allocated up front Jan 09 15:22:58 jonc: i beleive apache has one i think... Jan 09 15:23:17 jonc: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-pool/ -- might be a good starting point Jan 09 15:24:13 thank you Jan 09 15:37:29 Hey folks. It seems opensl on android has issues when you dont provide a buffer in the bufferqueue callback and terminates the decode. This is in oposition to what the opensles spec says should happen. Does anyone know how to get around this limitation? Jan 09 15:41:02 If I have 2 threads scheduled in ScheduledExecutorService, one is withFixedDelay and the other is atFixedInterval, why would the FixedDelay one run the first time at the correct delay, but everytime after that run at the same delay as the fixedInterval thread? Jan 09 15:42:20 obvious answer is I am passing in the wrong value for the non-initial delay, but: http://pastebin.com/D1E1WEFS Jan 09 15:47:39 Hey guys, I'm getting an authentication error when trying to use Google maps in my app. It's telling me to ensure the following correspond to whats in the google api console and it gives me the API key which is exactly the same then it gives me the certificate fingerprint. But I cannot see where in the Google API Console I should find the Certification Fingerprint? Jan 09 15:48:25 Is it the part where it says Android applications and then a series of characters followed by a semicolon and then the package name? Jan 09 15:48:29 CocoStorm: you have to make sure the hash of your debug.keystore (or whatever keystore) you're using is the same as what's in the console and the package matches Jan 09 15:48:34 yup -that's the hash Jan 09 15:49:01 louielouie, I see, well I've followed the isntructions and that's what I got Jan 09 15:49:06 and they seem to be different Jan 09 15:49:18 CocoStorm: there's your problem Jan 09 15:49:29 I did use a publishing keystore file Jan 09 15:50:02 CocoStorm: put both debug and production keystore SHA1 in there Jan 09 15:50:22 you have to make sure you to sign your app with whatever's in the console, using Eclipse's Export Android application and then specifying that exact keystore Jan 09 15:51:09 alexfu, put both keystores in the console? Jan 09 15:51:25 louielouie, yeh I have a keystore called (myapp).keystore Jan 09 15:51:40 i'll try and get the debug one Jan 09 15:51:42 CocoStorm: yes. one SHA1 fingerprint per line Jan 09 15:51:47 hello there. any ideas what would be the way to hook into all res/values/strings.xml reads? even those which are caused by the layoutinflaters and other? Jan 09 15:52:13 hook into? like intercept? Jan 09 15:52:18 alexfu, I see so put two? kk I'll try Jan 09 15:52:28 CocoStorm: yes. it's allowed. Jan 09 15:52:34 can I for example provide an own implementation of the context, in order to override Resources.getString*() methods? Jan 09 15:52:36 Oh I see Jan 09 16:00:25 alexfu, I'm still getting the same issue Jan 09 16:00:34 for some reason even though I've added both SHA1 fingerpritns Jan 09 16:01:46 CocoStorm: one per line? Jan 09 16:01:55 oh wait the map showed up :S after the error loool Jan 09 16:01:57 that's weird Jan 09 16:02:34 I think it took a while for the google api console to update Jan 09 16:02:41 but it looks like everything is good so far Jan 09 16:02:44 thanks alexfu :D Jan 09 16:02:59 np Jan 09 16:03:21 yay Jan 09 16:03:26 cheers louielouie Jan 09 16:03:27 lol Jan 09 16:05:23 maps is so cool Jan 09 16:06:11
