**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Aug 25 02:59:58 2016 Aug 25 03:09:50 <_genuser_> GoogleApiAvailability.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this); anybody use this for checking play services version? Aug 25 03:10:15 <_genuser_> I have a not too old galaxy s4 and I would think the version of play services on it is enough to do gcm/fcm stuff. Aug 25 03:14:28 _genuser_ fcm is GMS 9 Aug 25 03:27:26 Hello. I have a ListView in a retained fragment. There are several items checked in the list and they are reported correctly. After the device is rotated, the items are still checked on screen but listView.getCheckedItemPositions() does not report them. If I check another item, all the checked items are reported correctly. Why is the list working in this way. Bug or not? How do I work around this problem? Aug 25 03:30:29 Ok. I found the problem never call listView.getCheckedItemPositions() in onCreateView() because it won't work correctly. Use it in onResume() instead Aug 25 03:30:37 <_genuser_> g00s: gms 9? Aug 25 03:31:07 evidently the ListView is not fully operative if it's not setup inside the parent view Aug 25 03:36:40 "That report -- Application Security in the Changing Risk Landscape -- was released yesterday by the Ponemon Institute" Aug 25 03:36:51 i read that as Pokemon Institute Aug 25 03:37:50 you kids and your pokemon... Aug 25 03:38:42 g00s: it's Pokemon, actually. It's a typo Aug 25 03:39:56 <_genuser_> pfft, I'm sure g00s is at least 50 Aug 25 03:40:09 lol not yet Aug 25 03:40:17 but my dog is like 96 Aug 25 03:40:25 <_genuser_> heh, that's old. Aug 25 03:40:39 <_genuser_> this whole gcm vs. fcm thing is bugging me. Aug 25 03:40:55 _genuser_ see the i/o videos Aug 25 03:41:15 <_genuser_> google i/o videos? Aug 25 03:41:29 <_genuser_> is there any reason to still be using gcm if I want to support minsdk 19? Aug 25 03:41:40 <_genuser_> that's the big thing I need to answer. then after that it's easy. Aug 25 03:44:28 <_genuser_> woo!! my first cardview in an app! Aug 25 04:11:41 _genuser_: I can't manage to understand what's special about cardview Aug 25 04:14:55 <_genuser_> arancio: just that it's new. looks news and my app will now look like any of the other shmancy ones. Aug 25 04:15:14 I have a Proxima Centauri b screensaver now Aug 25 04:15:18 <_genuser_> lot of apps that do really useful stuff but still have really bad UI somehow look as if they don't do much. I guess UI makes a diff. Aug 25 04:16:35 I guess so. I still haven't acquired an android taste. Actually I bought my first smartphone just to develop this application. So I'm a smartphone illiterate Aug 25 04:17:44 <_genuser_> arancio: let me educate you then. Aug 25 04:19:10 <_genuser_> 1 - smartphones are completely a waste of time unless you're using the gps app. 2 - you'll think you're being productive but just wasting your time. 3 - anything that can be done on a smartphone can be done better on the desktop/laptop, unless it's facebook type stuff. 4 - if you're easily addicted to stuff, you'll be addicted to teh tons of games or social media stuff - twitter, periscope, instagra Aug 25 04:19:16 <_genuser_> m, facebook, hangout, whatsapp, etc. etc. Aug 25 04:20:06 <_genuser_> so it's a gadget which will mostly be a time suck, but if you're really practical you might just use it for productive stuff and not get sucked into posting naked selfies online (unless you're dude, in which people will probably pay you to not post naked selfies). Aug 25 04:21:03 <_genuser_> lastly, people don't believe any of what I just said. they think omg smartphones!!! what an amazing thing. mobile this mobile that. so if you can code for mobile apps, you can make twice as much as a non-mobile dev right out of college. Aug 25 04:22:52 _genuser_: actually, I'm getting involved in mobile programming just for the money. Aug 25 04:23:37 <_genuser_> learn fast, make monies! Aug 25 04:24:09 :-) Aug 25 04:26:09 " Designing for Sustainability : A Guide to Building Greener Digital Products and Services " ~~ i think one thing to solve this is keeping phones >2 years Aug 25 04:26:40 "Chapter 7Calculating the Carbon Footprint of a Website" lol, this will be interesting Aug 25 04:29:19 how can a virtual page have a carbon footprint? Aug 25 04:32:52 wyrdtrtle of course, servers need electricity :) Aug 25 04:33:56 but coming up with the calculations for that, seem - difficult w/o knowing the exact characteristics of infrastructure Aug 25 04:34:08 true, but the server is probably on regardless of that pages existence Aug 25 04:34:11 i'm sure aws / GCE ... these #s are probably trade secrets Aug 25 04:34:57 just makes me want to kick a tree hugger in the ass with my carbon footprint Aug 25 04:42:03 wyrdtrtle don't worry, nobody taking your liberty to drown in Louisiana or wherever next gets 1-in-1000 year flooding Aug 25 04:43:55 if every human on earth reduced their footprint to zero, there is no proof it would change the climatic cycles we are going to go thru anyway. Aug 25 04:44:20 still gonna get hotter for the next several hundred yrs Aug 25 04:44:30 yup, so lets make it worse Aug 25 04:44:40 still gonna be an ice age in 1500-2500 yrs Aug 25 04:45:01 not saying we shouldnt clean up our mess Aug 25 04:45:21 just no reason to all be 60s hippies again Aug 25 04:45:31 other then the free love Aug 25 04:45:57 hippies weren't scientists Aug 25 04:46:32 nor are most tree huggers Aug 25 04:47:02 they take a good idea and go ape shit crazy with it Aug 25 04:48:50 lol, build a city on the coast and have it be 20 feet below sea level. flooding? who knew? Aug 25 04:49:22 wyrdtrtle its not just them, over 1T in real estate, all over the US is in danger. NJ, florida, etc Aug 25 04:56:26 wyrdtrtle oh 882B, my mistake. http://www.zillow.com/research/climate-change-underwater-homes-12890/ Aug 25 04:57:32 i got 1.2T mixed up with the negative equity in housing in 2012 Aug 25 04:58:30 so if you are into real estate, buy interior land a few feet up for those people to migrate ;) Aug 25 04:59:32 lol, i'm a GC, dont usually buy land, just build on it Aug 25 05:02:51 Hi. does anybody using android studio know what the different colour text in the open file tabs represent? Aug 25 05:03:21 for example I have activity_main.xml, fragment_main.xml, androidmanifest.xml all in blue, and forecastfragment.java in maroon (not red like the error colour) Aug 25 05:03:50 https://gyazo.com/aca297c82b1395824c3de4fc4c6a7f6d a screenshot if needed Aug 25 05:05:17 Faizan: are there any errors in the maroon file? Aug 25 05:05:28 none at all Aug 25 05:05:37 no idea then Aug 25 05:05:51 if there were, the filename would be squiggly underlined in red Aug 25 05:06:03 yeah Aug 25 05:06:16 yeah me neither, it only happened when i changed the target sdk version from 21 to 24 Aug 25 05:06:16 I'm sorry, I can't help Aug 25 05:06:26 everything seems to be running fine. I just hate not knowing why it changed Aug 25 05:06:31 not a problem, thanks anyway Aug 25 05:06:50 Faizan those might be things changed since last commit Aug 25 05:06:54 the user of your application will discover it then and they'll report. don't worry Aug 25 05:07:49 Oh I wish I would have actual users of this app Aug 25 05:07:54 it's for my honours project Aug 25 05:08:04 so if anything my marker will just deduct marks haha Aug 25 05:08:19 and g00s that's a good shout actually Aug 25 05:09:19 Yeah that's what it was Aug 25 05:09:32 thanks Aug 25 05:11:18 g00s never fails Aug 25 05:12:08 Does anybody have any sources on how to request internet permission on API 23+? Aug 25 05:12:32 Since I can't just add it to the manifest file. Having trouble decrypting android developers instructions Aug 25 05:16:38 Why can't you just add it to the manifest file? Aug 25 05:16:38 i think you dont need runtime permission for internet Aug 25 05:16:39 You mean runtime permissions? Aug 25 05:16:50 It's not a dangerous permission. You don't need to manually request it Aug 25 05:16:52 Yeah runtime permissions Aug 25 05:17:02 Really? I get a security exception everytime Aug 25 05:17:07 just add to manifest Aug 25 05:17:11

Aug 25 05:17:17 What exception? Aug 25 05:17:18 I've done that and it works for api < 23, but on api 23 it crashes Aug 25 05:17:28 let me copy paste the exception 2 secs Aug 25 05:17:41 I'm using Aug 25 05:18:18 What API? Aug 25 05:18:20 minSdkVersion 16 Aug 25 05:18:20 targetSdkVersion 24 Aug 25 05:18:59 have you tested it on > 23? Aug 25 05:19:02 >=* Aug 25 05:19:42 Are you trying to programatically enable/disable WiFi or something? Aug 25 05:19:43 This is the error: Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied (missing INTERNET permission?) Aug 25 05:19:51 Nope, just trying to get data from an API call Aug 25 05:19:55 specifically openweathermap api Aug 25 05:20:02 add permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml file Aug 25 05:20:09 I've done so, and it works for any api < 23 Aug 25 05:20:12 but not 23 or 24 Aug 25 05:20:23 and I assumed it was because of the new runtime things Aug 25 05:20:29 runtime permission update on api 23 Aug 25 05:20:33 for newer api they copied Apple ios permission mechanism Aug 25 05:20:45 which is Ok/Cancel dialog window Aug 25 05:20:45 My virtual device is version 23 and I test on a real Nexux 5X too (don't know what sdk version it's running) Aug 25 05:21:09 Faizan: where are you putting the permission? It needs to be outside of the Application tag in manifest Aug 25 05:21:20 also try Aug 25 05:21:33 https://gyazo.com/f6e916cfe25c7404f9c2bc1d59be4659 Aug 25 05:21:39 outside the application tag it is Aug 25 05:22:03 did you just take a screenshot of text :/ Aug 25 05:22:08 access_network_state should fix it then Aug 25 05:22:10 probably Aug 25 05:22:12 looks like mine Aug 25 05:22:14 Yeah probably not a good idea lol Aug 25 05:22:24 but why does it cause no errors on api 19? Aug 25 05:22:32 that's what i'm testing it on right now Aug 25 05:22:42 but it crashes on my phone which is api 23 Aug 25 05:22:43 bankai_: text doesn't animate. it's ideal for a screenshot Aug 25 05:23:06 pastebin would have been more appropriate but gyazo is 100x faster Aug 25 05:23:40 Uh, i've not really worked with manifests. Do I need to sync them with my project or anything or should the uses-erpmission just update automatically when I build? Aug 25 05:24:07 Hello, I'm getting duplicate file Exception. Aug 25 05:24:15 Which I've diagnosed to be due to jarchivelib and commons-compress. Aug 25 05:24:25 https://ptpb.pw/oARe My build.gradle Aug 25 05:24:40 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25252741/duplicated-files-copied-in-apk-when-including-both-joda-time-and-common-io-libra Aug 25 05:24:40 I've already tried solutions like this ^ Aug 25 05:24:59 But a new duplicate file comes everytime I exlude a file Aug 25 05:25:12 what do you mean Aug 25 05:25:43 liuwenhao: didn't do the trick Aug 25 05:28:21 This is the exact error. Aug 25 05:29:07 Today I discovered "vfork() is broken; just use fork()". Aug 25 05:29:26 jerin: I have no idea Aug 25 05:29:35 We developed an android application with facebook login and we launched in play store. It was working fine till yesterday, from today morning onwards we are getting a login error saying like, "Login Error: There is an error in logging you into this application. Please try again later.". I'm using facebook sdk version-4.7.0. and i followed a same steps from documentation. Anyone knows solution for this issue?. Aug 25 05:30:26 Note :- this issue occurs in release.apk downloaded from play store and when facebook app is already installed in device already. But, it's working properly in app_debug.apk if facebook app is installed in device also. Aug 25 05:30:59 VkyVignesh_: had similar with google sign in, had to enable it in the google website admin panel Aug 25 05:31:52 login can be enabled/disable thru website, but that's for google sign in Aug 25 05:32:24 Does anybody know why else I might be getting the security exception error? Aug 25 05:32:39 I've declared the permission requests in my androidmanifest file Aug 25 05:34:33 Faizan: read my answer Aug 25 05:34:56 [06:20:02] add permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml file Aug 25 05:35:16 That? Aug 25 05:35:22 nope Aug 25 05:35:31 @squ google sign in is working properly. For facebook only i'm facing this issue. A lot of peoples are facing this issue. please checkout this link : https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/297086380683342/ Aug 25 05:35:48 I'm not sure what else you said squ Aug 25 05:36:54 my patience limit for today was exhausted Aug 25 06:09:00 <_genuser_> alright, nice! first fcm sent! Aug 25 06:14:47 Is PermissionChecker in the support library new? I had never seen it before today https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/content/PermissionChecker.html Aug 25 06:34:04 How do I write a subclass of ArrayAdapter that works with multiple choice? Aug 25 06:35:14 Specifically how do I update the check mark? Aug 25 06:40:47 better to keep boolean within your custom object class to maintain the state of enable and disable of checkboxes Aug 25 06:44:31 min2: do you mean that if I customized the appearance of the item of a list in multiple choice mode I have to handle selections by myself? Aug 25 06:46:26 yes Aug 25 06:49:03 min2: and how will the list view know which items are selected? Aug 25 06:49:56 min2: the list view must return something meaningful with listView.getCheckedItemPositions() Aug 25 06:50:18 min2: if I manage the selection what's listView going to return? Aug 25 06:56:27 if you are thinking for customizable list views with mutiple checkboxes then recommended to use RecyclerView Aug 25 06:57:08 min2: ok. thanks Aug 25 06:58:04 I don't know if we are talking about the same thing. I just wanted to have a ListView in multiple choice mode with a customized view for the list items. Aug 25 06:58:57 customizing the item view for a ListView in "no choice" mode is easy Aug 25 06:59:22 I'll read about RecyclerView Aug 25 07:08:10 How can I get the inflated object by setContentView? Aug 25 08:12:39 hey Aug 25 08:13:32 so I m facing this “problem”: I have an API, which I use with a web client, an iOS client, and I want to use it with an android client. I have the js functions ready to communicate with the API. if possible, I want to reuse this communication code inside the mobile clients. is there any way of reusing any of it ? Aug 25 08:16:09 Hmm Aug 25 08:16:52 That's something I want to see. Aug 25 08:16:57 I mean, the answer. Aug 25 08:17:26 @tilerendering Pretty sure it's not possible (although it would be nice). Although Retrofit is pretty easy/painfree to work with for APIs Aug 25 08:18:15 hm ok Aug 25 08:18:27 For native Android apps at least. I have no experience with Xamarin or Cordova/Ionic/etc. so its probably different for those Aug 25 08:18:35 would you recommend any special libraries for communicating with rest apis ? Aug 25 08:18:40 Retrofit Aug 25 08:18:41 no I m talking native Aug 25 08:18:43 ok Aug 25 08:18:50 is it free ? Aug 25 08:18:52 https://github.com/square/retrofit Aug 25 08:18:53 Yes Aug 25 08:19:04 It's by far the best API library for Android Aug 25 08:19:59 I think Retrofit 2.0+ uses OkHTTP by default? Aug 25 08:20:24 liuwenhao: yes, it uses OkHttp 3.0 Aug 25 08:21:55 ok I hope okhttp 3.0 is backwards compatible because I m using an old api here Aug 25 08:26:02 backwards compatible with *what*? HTTP/0.9? Aug 25 08:27:15 I wrote a web server that only supported HTTP/0.9 once. Aug 25 08:27:25 Now, that was in 1995, so please excuse me. Aug 25 08:27:38 I wrote it in Perl, by the way Aug 25 08:28:31 I wrote a cgi controller to bring up and down our shared-home dialup in 1998 - in C Aug 25 08:31:17 Leeds: haha dialup, I remember the days of trying to connect to the free-to-dial broadbands that would boot you off after an hour, then be impossible to reconnect to for another 30-60 mins Aug 25 08:39:30 anyone know how to use vector drawable support library? i'm trying to get vector drawables working with svg files as the keyIcon on a KeyboardView, and also use VectorDrawableCompat in the app Aug 25 08:41:53 You need to convert your svg to a resource. VectorDrawableCompat then has methods for creating Aug 25 08:51:26 oh sorry, i have already imported the svg into android studio as an xml Aug 25 08:51:30 i should have said that Aug 25 08:51:50 android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #23: Error inflating class android.widget.ImageButton Aug 25 08:52:53 #everydayandroidsdkupdates Aug 25 08:59:24 I have created different "values" folders according to screen densities (values-hdpi etc), but in my project view in Android Studio they arn't showing up, although they do in windows file explorer when I look in that dir. So how should I now add my different values files to the different folders?? Aug 25 09:01:09 Switch to project view instead of android view if you want to see all folders Aug 25 09:01:32 The android view collapses resources Aug 25 09:01:49 thanks SimonVT Aug 25 09:02:05 Add qualifiers when creating a new resource file if you want to keep using the android view, it'll put them in the right folder Aug 25 09:11:50 bithon: for what it's worth, you're not likely to get much response here if you're not using Java or at least the NDK Aug 25 09:12:29 the thing is, i don't want to learn another language right now, but rather learn how to develop android apps Aug 25 09:12:39 and the framework Aug 25 09:13:57 Whgat is bithon trying to use? Aug 25 09:14:15 xamarin Aug 25 09:14:19 Oh dear Aug 25 09:14:24 Just use Java ffs Aug 25 09:14:41 Or Kotlin, that's fine too. Aug 25 09:15:02 i already know c# Aug 25 09:15:13 bithon: Then learning Java shouldn't take many hours. Aug 25 09:15:27 is there a callback on each view created by layoutInfalter? Aug 25 09:15:56 im using compat LayoutInflaterFactory Aug 25 09:15:57 right. does anyone actually use xamarin here. I was wondering if it's a viable option to build anything serious ? Aug 25 09:16:29 i get a callback on each view, expect ViewGroups and Custom Views (Like support toolbar) Aug 25 09:16:35 bithon: I doubt it's a viable options. I haven't spoken to a single person who has ever built anything with it. Aug 25 09:16:45 !!! Aug 25 09:16:54 I have, however, read people's complaints about it. Aug 25 09:17:16 I just feel that java's a bit clunky Aug 25 09:17:28 never really clicked for me because all of the artificial limitations Aug 25 09:18:15 bithon: There are quite a few of those, but compared to a truly expressive language, c# is just as limiting. So, I'm sure you'll be fine :-) Aug 25 09:18:57 * jjuran_ is curious about Perl 6. Aug 25 09:19:04 theer are plenty of games written with mono - not sure how many non-game apps there are Aug 25 09:19:37 well if I was to learn java then, what other *serious* applications does java have nowadays, besides enterprise Aug 25 09:19:54 you mean apart from 1.5 billion or so Android devices? Aug 25 09:20:01 yes, apart from that :D Aug 25 09:20:09 (this was actually a serious question) Aug 25 09:20:11 brought peace? Aug 25 09:20:25 The aqueduct? Aug 25 09:20:43 i guess i can give java a go Aug 25 09:20:52 wine? Aug 25 09:21:00 the only problem i have with it is that it's virtually impossible to use vim with it Aug 25 09:21:06 uh... no Aug 25 09:21:26 i don't like using IDEs Aug 25 09:21:57 so don't use an IDE Aug 25 09:22:45 that's basically impossible when it comes to java Aug 25 09:22:50 bithon: Minecraft is written in Java. Is that serious enough for you? Aug 25 09:23:05 but you can use c#/mono without IDE? Aug 25 09:23:05 I guess I came off as arrogant when I phrased it that way Aug 25 09:23:07 what I meant is Aug 25 09:23:39 what other applications does java have, I know that it's used a lot in enterpise to build large apps and stuff Aug 25 09:23:44 but besides that i don't know much about it Aug 25 09:23:51 bithon: Lots of web server-side stuff Aug 25 09:24:00 i tried it a couple of years ago and didn't like it Aug 25 09:24:13 bithon: Have you used Jira? It's written in Java Aug 25 09:24:26 bithon: nothing stopping you writing Java in vim - I've been doing it for years Aug 25 09:24:35 Leeds: Just what I was typing Aug 25 09:24:36 vim Aug 25 09:24:45 if you want IDE support, use an IDE - if you want a text editor, use vim Aug 25 09:24:50 There are numerous languages targeting the JVM besides Java. Aug 25 09:24:51 bithon: Anyway, if you want to do Android development, it's basically Java that you have to use (or any of the languages that complie directly to Java like Kotlin or Scala) Aug 25 09:24:59 I only use vim for quick java changes tbh Aug 25 09:25:06 do you use it for everything Leeds? Aug 25 09:25:50 Leeds: Do you have some kind of special setup or are you using vanilla vim ? Aug 25 09:26:22 I use vim for everything Aug 25 09:26:26 everywhere, all the time Aug 25 09:26:30 doing python in it right now... Aug 25 09:26:39 Leeds: But you're weird. Emacs. That's where it's at :-) Aug 25 09:26:46 What's your config file for vim Leeds? Aug 25 09:27:01 I've tried using vim for more but get frustrated Aug 25 09:27:06 vim's amazing Aug 25 09:27:08 * jjuran_ uses TextWrangler. Aug 25 09:27:13 i write everything in it, except for java Aug 25 09:27:16 i can't do that Aug 25 09:27:22 jjuran_: get out Aug 25 09:27:32 loke__: I'm weird, but not weird enough to (use (emacs)) Aug 25 09:27:32 bithon: For Java, just use IDEA (or Android Studio for Android, it's the same thing) Aug 25 09:27:33 markyosullivan: :-P Aug 25 09:27:50 Leeds: It's (require 'emacs) Aug 25 09:27:51 yeah i have downloaded android studio with VIM emulation plugin Aug 25 09:27:53 but who's counting :-) Aug 25 09:27:55 but it's not the same :/ Aug 25 09:28:02 I use AS Aug 25 09:28:11 IDEA is bloody amazing. Aug 25 09:28:19 with vim plugin, yes. Aug 25 09:28:22 * loke__ has used it since... hmm... around 2001. Aug 25 09:28:47 what about eclipse ? it used to be quite popular back in the day and all of a sudden nobody's using it anymore Aug 25 09:28:53 loke__: you weren't into Eclipsing the Sun then? Aug 25 09:29:06 Eclipse?! Aug 25 09:29:15 Who said that forbidden word Aug 25 09:29:17 get out Aug 25 09:29:18 now Aug 25 09:29:29 hush hush Aug 25 09:30:14 Eclipse has always been unbearably bad. The only reason people used it was because the official Android tools were made for it. As soon as Google released AS (which is based on IDEA) people naturally left Eclipse. Aug 25 09:30:34 I've seen people use it for other Java projects Aug 25 09:30:35 I tried Eclipse for a few minutes. Aug 25 09:30:51 IDEs are for wimps and fools Aug 25 09:31:05 I can imagine Leeds has an almighty beard Aug 25 09:31:46 here's a nickel, kid... Aug 25 09:31:50 WIMPs? Windows/Icons/Menus/Pointer? Aug 25 09:32:41 ironically, after 8 years, Android just gained windowed app support Aug 25 09:33:06 How is that ironic? Aug 25 09:34:03 u dont use AS Leeds ? Aug 25 09:34:18 raoul11: pretty much never Aug 25 09:34:43 kk Aug 25 09:35:59 loke__: When I started Android Dev, I started on Eclipse, but being a PHP dev that uses phpStorm, IntelliJ felt "right" to me. Aug 25 09:39:27 I also love that Community edition of IntelliJ (all you really need for Android Dev) is 100% free Aug 25 09:39:31 hey, I'm trying to use apache.commons compress Aug 25 09:39:46 I've included the mavenCentral() and the compile lines Aug 25 09:40:07 But the Classes don't show up in the android app Aug 25 09:41:13 https://ptpb.pw/z1NJ Aug 25 09:41:18 This is my build.gradle Aug 25 09:42:56 boss called, woke me up... said "sorry, I'll let you go back to sleep"... had already overslept by 1.5h or so Aug 25 09:43:08 hey ppl Aug 25 09:44:09 I just chose “login activity” template when creating a project with android studio. gave me about 500 lines of code for just a simple login - is there any way of reducing this, maybe by using a library, some libraries that I somehow am missing ? I m not so acquainted with nowadays android devpt but I m an experienced java developer and I feel this should yield less loc Aug 25 09:44:59 Zharf: haha that's a cool boss Aug 25 09:54:00 Anyone know of a reason to get a 406 response even though the headers are correct? Aug 25 10:05:05 Can't believe there are so many broken apps with so many downloads on the store Aug 25 10:05:28 *in the Aug 25 10:06:31 But that's a good thing because it sets the bar lower for an independent developer such as myself :D Aug 25 10:08:42 I'll provide contrast with my app just by handling orientation change :O Aug 25 10:11:29 Zeuri: it would depend entirel on the server as to why you get that code. Aug 25 10:28:34 My app has somehow lost the ability to autorotate in phone mode. I'm trying to find out how to fix this. The odd thing is it works when the app launches directly over another app which supports autorotation. Does anyone have any clue how to fix this? Aug 25 10:33:02 Unless you're doing something in your manifest or activity regarding orientation, then it's unlikely to be an app issue Aug 25 10:37:48 android:configChanges is set to "orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize". The Activity's onConfigurationChange is called only when the Activty is directly over another app in which rotation does work. Aug 25 10:42:57 what's the de facto way for creating lists with grouped items, mimicking the settings app Aug 25 10:43:14 Doesn't sound like an app issue Aug 25 10:47:25 It has the same faulty behaviour on different devices. And an older version of my app does support rotation like expected. I'm currently giving the app a huge UI makeover, and narrowing down to what exactly makes the app not rotate is pretty tricky at this point. Aug 25 10:48:32 is it possible to "freeze" some variables and inject in the running code? Imagine a big data structure which is filled by http call. If you spend for a long on that activity (for instance), every time you need to wait for the http call etc. Yes, I could use some kind of serialization, like json but it's that fast to implement Aug 25 11:08:38 ls Aug 25 11:08:44 hi all Aug 25 11:15:13 just the be clear, in order to test on Virtual Devices , I have to have an Intel based system? Aug 25 11:25:18 If you use intels system images I suppose so Aug 25 11:26:34 SimonVT, "Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD." is what I get when trying to run a AVD Aug 25 11:26:44 "Your CPU does not support required features (VT-x or SVM)." Aug 25 11:26:51 public abstract class AbstractSubscriptionButton extends LinearLayout Aug 25 11:26:53 WTF lol Aug 25 11:28:09 Sounds about right Aug 25 11:28:11 yeah ur cpu is old Aug 25 11:28:17 use a phone Aug 25 11:28:34 haxm ftw. Aug 25 11:28:39 or upgrade the cpu to something recenrt Aug 25 11:30:03 u can try using arm image Aug 25 11:31:30 pifon1, like those armeabi-v7a ? Aug 25 11:31:37 ye Aug 25 11:31:45 gotcha, I'll try Aug 25 12:01:35 i just did a system restore(windows 10) and now i cant compile Aug 25 12:01:41 i get this error: Already observed package id 'add-ons;addon-google_apis-google-23' in 'C:\Users\nika1\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\add-ons\addon-google_apis-google-23'.

Aug 25 12:04:47 hi, am newbie android developer and i am trying to use google sign-in service as integral authentication mechanism for my small network app; i am following this tutorial: https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/ and i am confused a little about activity being opened there: it is modal, but can be closed without selecting neither of available accounts which is undesireable as i am Aug 25 12:04:53 trying to rely on this sign-in mechanism as on only and required one. What could i do about this, how can i make this activity unclosable or how to approach this correctly? Aug 25 12:08:29 i guess ill just reinstall androidStudio Aug 25 12:19:22 wow how long it takes Aug 25 12:19:41 there must be a billion files in sdk Aug 25 12:20:01 next time ill just install a couple of platforms Aug 25 12:28:19 Hi can someone help with socket programming problem? Aug 25 12:30:30 I rather need an advice actually. Aug 25 12:30:35 tushigushi, what is it? Aug 25 12:30:52 low level socket stuff or some high level protocol like websockets? Aug 25 12:31:12 DataGramSocket, Aug 25 12:32:49 Actually not even this, let me explain in details. Aug 25 12:33:29 I have server and client, and i send audio stream from client to server via datagram socket. Aug 25 12:34:23 I can send one stream, but if I have 2 or more clients i need to open a new port. Aug 25 12:37:11 So what are the rules? So if i have for example port 4435. Can i just open a new one at 4436? Aug 25 12:40:29 Now it seems like a stupid question, but I'm not sure if i see a 'bigger picture' right. Aug 25 12:48:22 is there some lib. for creating a choice mode for RecyclerView like in google Photos. the shrink animation, the check mark in the corner and everything Aug 25 12:51:28 does Android 4.3 and above support TLS 1.2 with client certificate authentication? I am getting an exception "java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found." This is what I am using http://pastebin.com/3ev7peZ1 Aug 25 12:53:29 my goal is to be able to establish a TLS 1.2 TCP connection (not HTTP) to a server that requires client certificate auth Aug 25 12:54:09 I have code working in C and C++. Just need to figure out how to do it in Android Aug 25 12:59:25 mndar, hmm, I've used pinned certs for TCP since 4.0 and it worked ok Aug 25 12:59:31 Hard to say what's wrong tho :/ Aug 25 13:00:05 TLS 1.2 is supported since Android 4.1 Aug 25 13:00:20 Mavrik: can u point me to any sample code? Aug 25 13:01:46 Something like this https://blog.dev-area.net/2015/08/13/android-4-1-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2/ ? Aug 25 13:04:32 Mavrik: thanks. I'll try it out. Does it do client auth? Aug 25 13:06:00 Mavrik: how did you use pinned certs for TCP in your app? Aug 25 13:07:56 By supplying them to the trustmanager to SSLFactory. Aug 25 13:08:06 There's bunch of guides on the internet about how to do it in Java Aug 25 13:08:43 is possible that autocompletetextview has a bug on imeoption that nobody fix for years? Aug 25 13:09:45 Mavrik: and then you could do client side auth as well? Aug 25 13:09:56 What do you mean by client side auth? Aug 25 13:10:14 xan_IT, yes Aug 25 13:10:31 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2747491/autocompletetextview-on-next-highlight-next-textview-on-done-make-keyboar Aug 25 13:10:46 darken i must specify imeoptions Aug 25 13:11:02 but i need dynamc imeoption that for edittext works fine Aug 25 13:11:20 Mavrik: the server requires the client to send a certificate Aug 25 13:11:37 And you supply it in SSLFactory :) Aug 25 13:12:08 darken i have linear layout with some edittext and autocompletetextview. i put gone some element in base of context. i need next or done based on context Aug 25 13:12:30 darken with edittext works fine Aug 25 13:12:44 I'm not familiar with the issue, just saying it's not unusualy that there are sometimes long standing bugs Aug 25 13:13:41 what the lowest API to use Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar? Aug 25 13:13:51 Mavrik: I am new to Android app development. Should I first try to TrustStore in Java on my desktop? will the same code work on Android? Aug 25 13:13:52 xan_IT, if you dynamicly change the flags, can't you always add 'actionNext' ? Aug 25 13:14:22 darken with edittext i not specify imeoption, and works fine Aug 25 13:15:08 darken it's not simple to set imeoption programmatically because i need to check if there are other edittext or ACtextview Aug 25 13:15:17 when targeting older versions, can I get a build error if I reference something that didn't exist in that version? at the moment the only indication seems to be a warning in AS Aug 25 13:15:50 chilversc, you can tell AS to abort the build on certain LINT warnings/errors Aug 25 13:16:08 not sure if it's on by default for API levels Aug 25 13:16:25 skin1980, pretty sure that works at least on API16 and there is no reason to go lower Aug 25 13:19:20 tnx darken Aug 25 13:19:36 yeah, I'm just finding it odd that it will compile fine but then would fail at runtime Aug 25 13:21:11 finding it equally odd with the obsolete markers, such as FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET, it says to use new document instead, only that then warns that it wasn't added until SDK 14 (min is 10) Aug 25 13:21:47 so really, what does it expect me to do here? that whole obsolete warning seems erronous Aug 25 13:24:29 you ignore the errors until your APIlevel is high enough to do something about it Aug 25 13:24:57 the cases where it actually breaks because of deprecation are pretty rare, in those you have to think of a solution Aug 25 13:27:05 darken: right, but now I can't tell real deprication (ie using something that was depricated in 10) vs this false deprecation Aug 25 13:27:51 so it just makes the whole point of marking something depricated kinda useless since I'm now learning to simple ignore the errors as they're often wrong Aug 25 13:28:01 well actually I don't remember any such case :o Aug 25 13:28:37 so just ignore it Aug 25 13:28:54 I just want it to only show things as depricated if they were depricated in my min sdk version (as those are the things I should deal with) Aug 25 13:29:38 darken: that's my whole point, I am ignoring it, which makes it pointless, whole reason to mark something as depricated is to say, hey this needs changing Aug 25 13:30:18 only now you try and change it and get annother error saying you can't, so then you just figure it's pointless and ignore all deprication warnings Aug 25 13:31:22 make an issue ticket :) Aug 25 13:34:40 shouldnt the latest build tools work ? or does it depend on minimum target sdk of app? Aug 25 13:35:13 because after reinstalling i got an error saying incorrect build tool Aug 25 13:37:06 i fixed it by installing older build tool, just wondered Aug 25 13:38:16 need to reboot... Aug 25 13:51:57 of course data binding doesn't work with include layout Aug 25 14:01:46 When publishing a library (aar/jar) is it typical to try to keep dependency versions low so that the user of the library usually has their dependency version win out when building (default gradle build choice for multiple dependency versions is to pick the higher version)? Aug 25 14:04:29 ideal solution is to have no dependencies :) Aug 25 14:08:11 * kbs would be interested if there ever was a great answer to this :) Aug 25 14:12:49 Great seems like it would be 1) for all library publishers to ensure that major version releases never have breaking changes and 2) for all library publishers to scope their package name to the major release. Then everything is taco bueno and everyone is happy always Aug 25 14:12:57 s/Great/Great answer/ Aug 25 14:13:33 e.g. okhttp3 Aug 25 14:14:41
