**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jan 12 03:00:02 2017 Jan 12 03:09:11 "Latest Adobe Acrobat Reader Update Silently Installs Chrome Extension" lol Jan 12 03:11:19 TacticalJoke noooooo ! "An Asteroid Passed By Earth At About Half the Distance Between Our Planet and Moon" Jan 12 03:11:24 Giant Meteor 2016 missed ! Jan 12 03:11:58 Nooooooooo. Jan 12 03:12:59 "2017 AG13 would have caused minor damage if it hit Earth" , phew then its an imposter Jan 12 03:14:27 Reminder: The phrase "minor damage" is being used by astrophysicists in relation to a celestial event. Jan 12 03:15:00 This can frequently mean, "the damage will be barely visible from the moon" Jan 12 03:15:16 ...which doesn't exclude the leveling of medium-sized cities. Jan 12 03:16:44 As long as it's big enough to take out the planet. Jan 12 03:17:40 While im not as sadistic as some of you, ever heard of Gamma Ray Bursts? Jan 12 03:18:11 Any side of the planet facing the burst would be vaporised Jan 12 03:23:10 TacticalJoke recovering android developer http://i.imgur.com/zLBkDPA.gifv Jan 12 03:25:19 There should be a place where we can go and just act like that. Jan 12 03:34:51 I'm experiencing some weirdness with a TextInputLayout wrapping a TextInputEditText: getEditText() is always null, even after its layout (and the layout surrounding it) is inflated Jan 12 03:35:07 Is there some common mistake/pitfall I've fallen into? Jan 12 03:41:42 Probably have to wait for it to actually be rendered, first Jan 12 03:42:28 Dagmar: isn't the static inflate method enough? (inflate(Context, int, ViewGroup)) Jan 12 03:42:59 When I view children, I see it has 3 children, but none of them is an EditText Jan 12 03:45:22 Here's the code for my view: https://gist.github.com/MarkyC/1e2ef72079a46f8ec719ce1fd547728a Jan 12 03:52:52 MarkyC: The XML should refer to DateView, not TextInputLayout. Jan 12 03:53:14 You're creating a DateView, and then adding that XML layout as a *child* of the DateView. Jan 12 03:53:47 Unless I'm misunderstanding, you shouldn't be calling View.inflate at all. Jan 12 03:55:10 I'd expect `getEditText()` to return `null` because DateView doesn't directly contain an EditText (only indirectly, via the child TextInputLayout). Jan 12 03:55:22 TacticalJoke: ahhhh, good catch. my view_date.xml should only contain the TextInputEditText Jan 12 03:55:46 MarkyC: Why isn't view_date.xml referring to DateView? Jan 12 03:56:15 It should probably be ``. Jan 12 03:56:26 And you can remove the View.inflate call. Jan 12 03:56:55 It doesn't make sense for you to call View.inflate here. You're already being inflated. Jan 12 03:57:09 TacticalJoke: shouldn't fragment.xml contain ` Well, you're being inflated if you change things in the way I say (but not otherwise). Jan 12 03:58:52 So you're saying view_date.xml should look like , and fragment.xml should contain <...things><... more things>? Jan 12 03:59:13 What is `fragment.xml`? I'm not sure where that comes in. Jan 12 03:59:39 view_date.xml -> custom date view widget, fragment.xml -> a form containing this widget Jan 12 04:00:14 Hmm, I wonder why you have `view_date.xml` at all in that case. Jan 12 04:00:43 I intend view_date.xml to be the layout for the custom widget Jan 12 04:01:28 Could `fragment.xml` use `` then? Jan 12 04:03:20 I suppose it could, though I intend for DateView.java to have some logic for that specific view Jan 12 04:04:56 I guess I don't understand everything that's going on there. But you could certain say `` in multiple XML files if that makes sense. Jan 12 04:05:02 certainly* Jan 12 04:06:20 yes, that makes sense Jan 12 04:06:39 TacticalJoke: thank you sir Jan 12 04:07:04 http://www.kantarworldpanel.com/en/Press-Releases/Early-Holiday-Sales-Show-Growth-for-iOS Jan 12 04:07:45 "For Android, this marks the sixth consecutive period of decline in the US, at 55.3% of all smartphone sales, down from 60.4% in the same period a year earlier."

If today is the day that the reminder was set, trigger the action, otherwise keep waiting for another Today event? Jan 12 10:27:12 so as not to cause the alarm action to trigger when the date for the Reminder is past due Jan 12 10:27:36 seems right Jan 12 10:29:14 you guys are probably still asleep if in the US Jan 12 10:29:19 You Ass of A Jan 12 10:41:54 Can anyone help me with adding to List array https://glot.io/snippets/em4074xfso Jan 12 10:42:33 what is the type of i Jan 12 10:42:54 int from for loop Jan 12 10:43:14 and what is the type of thislist.get(i) Jan 12 10:44:55 not sure, how to find out?

Just asking for help. thought maybe it was a simple answer. Im new in Java. But nevermind Jan 12 10:58:01 you don't provide the exact error, you alter the code in your pastebin-like, you then change what is problematic compared to what you asked originally, you did not reply if it was a typo (still find suspicious this classname named like an object) etc Jan 12 10:58:06 but /ignore was a joke Jan 12 10:58:23 good luck :) Jan 12 10:58:27 meow Jan 12 10:58:52 :3 Jan 12 11:04:10 sdk tools 25.2.5 Jan 12 11:05:17 jar of dirt Jan 12 11:05:34 http://imgur.com/a/X2aR7 weird stuff going on Jan 12 11:05:59 no more eclipse support?

So what do you guys use for a vertical slider/seekbar ? Jan 12 12:55:02 Hi. Is it better to update data through an adapter, or directly and call notifyDataSetChanges()? Jan 12 13:00:32 Eduard_Munteanu: you should let the adapter call notifyDatasetChanged Jan 12 13:00:38 probably Jan 12 13:00:58 meaning, encapsulate all the data updates in the adapter and let it call notify by itself Jan 12 13:01:00 Ok, so the accesses should go through the adapter rather than directly. Jan 12 13:01:03 I see. Jan 12 13:04:35 Thanks. Jan 12 13:15:42 Hi. Is it better to update data through an adapter, or directly and call notifyDataSetChanges()? < search for diffutil and how it can dispatch efficiently + the second onbind method with its payload Jan 12 13:16:16 much better than calling notifydatasetchanged, especially if not everything needs to be refreshed Jan 12 13:48:58 Eduard_Munteanu: use notify Jan 12 13:49:27 update single item with: adapter.notifyItemInserted(row); for example Jan 12 13:49:45 adapter.notifyItemRemoved(i); Jan 12 13:50:37 Hm.

I'm having problems with some layout sizes for Nexus 5 and Galaxy S5. Both are xxhdpi and both have sw-360dp, but some DP margins are not the same. How can I address this issue? Jan 12 15:34:04 Hi. Where can I find out how the com.google.android.gms library is licensed? Jan 12 15:34:11 I was having the same issues using Nexus 5X, but I could resolve them using the values-sw410dp Jan 12 15:43:45 birk_, what do you mean "the same"? Jan 12 15:49:24 Mavrik: for example. I have an ImageView with marginEnd=60dp for Nexus 5 and the same marginEnd should be 45 for Galaxy S5 Jan 12 15:50:05 what do you mean "should be" Jan 12 15:50:13 why should it be 45? What are you trying to achieve? Jan 12 15:50:24 Is it the wrong aspect? Jan 12 15:50:29 Wrong physical size? Jan 12 15:53:33 Mavrik: I want to fill the entire screen, don't want "empty spaces". I've set the image to width match_parent, height is wrap_content, adjustViewBounds true. Then I set a side margin to allow the image to increase it's size Jan 12 15:54:06 Mavrik: I mean not the entire screen like match parent for width and height. But fill the remaining space on the screen Jan 12 15:59:29 I have a recycler view with about 2000 elements, per row, i load 4 of them, each element has an icon that needs to be loaded. Should I cache those icons somehow? Jan 12 16:00:52 birk_, hmm, I can't really picture the issue. Can you take screenshots on both phones Jan 12 16:00:54 ? Jan 12 16:01:04 <_genuser_> hello devs in the android land Jan 12 16:01:50 hi Jan 12 16:02:14 Unfortunately I'm dealing with node.js today. Not much in Android-land Jan 12 16:02:59 Mavrik: the problem as I can see is that both are sw-320 and both are considered xxhdpi, but the S5 is 432 DPI and Nexus 5 is 480. I'll change programatically the margins Jan 12 16:03:24 That sounds like you're doing something very silly and dumb Jan 12 16:03:33 Usually you shouldn't really care about those details Jan 12 16:03:37 Or even check for DPI settings. Jan 12 16:03:42 This is why I'm asking my questions Jan 12 16:03:57 Because I have a feeling you've approached the whole design wrong and you'll have issues constantly. Jan 12 16:05:32 I'll post the pictures Jan 12 16:06:15 Has anyone actually ever used the xxhdpi and the likes folders correctly? Jan 12 16:06:42 Mavrik: Nexus 5https://imagebin.ca/v/38e5Ww35Ow7n Jan 12 16:06:49 Mavrik: Nexus 5 https://imagebin.ca/v/38e5Ww35Ow7n Jan 12 16:06:58 Syzygy, yes. Jan 12 16:07:19 Mavrik: S5 https://imagebin.ca/v/38e5nAdj7ScV Jan 12 16:07:21 birk_, the issue is with the album art? Jan 12 16:07:27 yes Jan 12 16:07:51 it's a view_pager Jan 12 16:08:08 why not make a FrameLayout the size of the screen (width) Jan 12 16:08:22 and then use layout_align="center" on the ImageView with static size in dp? Jan 12 16:09:00 I've tried using static size, but got the same issue Jan 12 16:09:14 the sizes must be larger for S5 Jan 12 16:10:24 Use multiple dimens files Jan 12 16:10:44 birk_, why? It's a problematic requirement Jan 12 16:10:58 A 150dpx150dp image is going to be roughly the same physical size on all devices Jan 12 16:11:18 If you have a bigger screen, the margin will be a bit bigger Jan 12 16:11:30 let me check again Jan 12 16:11:30 Which is expected isn't it? Jan 12 16:11:37 The idea is you have to test it for each device. Using the layout editor for quick adjustments Jan 12 16:11:39 Your image has a certain size in px Jan 12 16:11:45 And the S5 has bigger DPI Jan 12 16:11:56 Girafferson, god no Jan 12 16:12:13 There's better things to do in life than designing your UI in a way that has to be tested on each and every Android device O.o Jan 12 16:12:25 Make it flexible and leave space for different screen configurations. Jan 12 16:12:28 I want the image to be the biggest possible size, that's the problem Jan 12 16:12:34 There's nothing wrong with having multiple values folders. Jan 12 16:12:37 <_genuser_> 10:03 < Mavrik> That sounds like you're doing something very silly and dumb Jan 12 16:12:41 <_genuser_> ^whoa somebody got the Trump bug Jan 12 16:12:43 to fill the space that the player buttons don't use Jan 12 16:12:44 I would probably just make it work in constraintlayout tho Jan 12 16:13:25 where should I put my image drawables if they're only available in one size? I had issues with the regular drawable folder and hat to put them into drawable-xhdpi Jan 12 16:13:47 Syzygy, do you want OS to resize them automatically? Jan 12 16:13:55 or are they always displayed in same pixel size? Jan 12 16:14:40 Mavrik: resize them automatically Jan 12 16:14:57 birk_, ah, so make the ImageView the size of the space you want it to fill, add a bit of static margin and then set scaletype to centerInside? Jan 12 16:15:10 Syzygy, why don't you pre-resize them first? Jan 12 16:15:42 Mavrik: could be Jan 12 16:15:59 birk_, basically you really want to avoid dealing with per-device numbers Jan 12 16:16:00 Mavrik: would still have an issue with different screen sizes, also no graphic tools available Jan 12 16:16:15 Hey guys. What's the best subversion for Android Studio? Jan 12 16:16:32 Syzygy, I don't understand what you're saying... there's bunch of tools that can help you with that? O.o Jan 12 16:17:07 Mavrik: could you recommend some? Jan 12 16:17:23 Can I add extra filters to my search widget? Jan 12 16:18:06 Anyone? Which svn do you guys prefer? Jan 12 16:26:51 where should I put my image drawables if they're only available in one size? <- drawable-nodpi Jan 12 16:27:07 but except on specific use-cases, you should not do that Jan 12 16:33:00 always use git Jan 12 16:40:50 adq: what would a no-dpi use case be an how does it differ from just using the drawable folder? Jan 12 16:41:38 do you even rtfm sometimes Syzygy? should be self-explanatory, it's a place where you put image independent of any dpi Jan 12 16:42:28 and it's -nodpi not no-dpi Jan 12 16:42:48 yeah, i asked the question and then thought (and did) that I should google it. Jan 12 16:42:51 quoting the official doc: "Resources for all densities. These are density-independent resources. The system does not scale resources tagged with this qualifier, regardless of the current screen's density. Jan 12 16:42:51 " Jan 12 16:43:00 maybe someone got a solution: placesautocomplete fragment -- i want to set an ontextchanger listener and set the hint as well. it seems that when this fragment is clicked, it opens up another fragment that does the actual search/display Jan 12 16:43:32 the textwatcher isnt returning anything, not does the hint follows to that new fragment edittext box Jan 12 17:05:40 Kisenosato Yutaka is a sumo wrestler from Ibaraki, Japan. Jan 12 17:15:14 squ: cool story bro Jan 12 17:15:39 http://www.japantimes.co.jp/tag/kisenosato/ Jan 12 17:16:24 ok but why are you talking about him here? Jan 12 17:16:46 Is there a connection with Android development? Jan 12 17:20:56 Maybe he's an android developer Jan 12 17:21:03 You never know Jan 12 17:28:06 Hi! Does anyone know if it's possible to change the duration of the power button long press on a rooted android phone? I know it's possible to remap the keys under /system/usr/keylayout/, but is it possible to change the duration of the long press that displays the reboot/poweroff menu? Jan 12 17:35:20 is it possible to create a activity with two fragments side by side but only open the second one when i click in something in the first fragment? Jan 12 17:36:59 apidae: Have you tried looking around the android source code? Jan 12 17:38:39 tsousa: I think the master/detail template on android studio does something similar if not that Jan 12 17:39:53 hey all, just curoius.... if i have a native Anrdroid app and only want to display part of a page in html, is that possible? (since Im using a CMS which has a WYSWYG editor to create dynamic bolded/italic/etc content that you then pass to Android app via web service) Jan 12 17:40:18 you can put a WebView on screen and display your content there Jan 12 17:41:33 s73v3r: can a WebView be displayed for only a certain area? I was debating asking my android dev to try a WebView but wasnt sure if WebViews are only for full screens, and not just minimal parts as you need in the app (like in a questionnaire app, displaying 'question text' which is html... rest would be native radios/checkboxes/etc) Jan 12 17:41:45 it’s just a view Jan 12 17:42:19 although if all you’re looking for is to do bold, italics, etc, maybe you don’t need to use that Jan 12 17:42:27 Hi. What's the best practice to send a Long object to another activity? Jan 12 17:42:53 mohsen_: serialize it to a long datatype and pass it in the bundle Jan 12 17:43:14 monk12: but yes, you should be able to make the webview whatever size you need. it doesn’t have to be fullscreen Jan 12 17:43:28 g00s, https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/5njt23/android_dev_rage_catharsis_therapy_decided_to/ :') Jan 12 17:43:32 s73v3r: You mean convert Long to 'long' datatype and pass that variable? Jan 12 17:43:38 yeah Jan 12 17:44:12 s73v3r: can that webview dynamically expand as needed? cause my 'question text' that would be displayed in that field, could be 1 or 2 or 3/etc lines long. I wouldn't want to declare a hardcoded height for example. Jan 12 17:44:35 it can. Jan 12 17:44:53 adq quantum tab :) Jan 12 17:46:20 Girafferson: do you have any suggestion where to start? I was hoping it would be some kind of configuration file Jan 12 17:47:42 apidae, wrong channel, try #android-root or xda or somewhere else Jan 12 17:52:43 adq: #android-root and somewhere else weren't very helpful, that's why i came here Jan 12 18:09:56 Hello. My Preview panel keeps auto-closing when I click in the editor. How do I stop that. Jan 12 18:17:33 I'm trying to build an app from the command line, I get this error: ":processDebugResources Position 24 : Error parsing XML: mismatched tag". Is it complaining about the android-manifest.xml? Since the xml file having the problem is not specified. Jan 12 18:22:54 mohsen_: try adding the debug or info flags to it Jan 12 18:33:09 s73v3r: This is with the --info flag: http://ptpb.pw/2Koj Jan 12 18:33:47 looks like it might be the manifest. Jan 12 18:34:00 have you looked at the manifest? the editor should tell you if you have bad tags Jan 12 18:36:11 s73v3r: This is my manifest: http://ptpb.pw/q9IY Jan 12 18:36:58 not found Jan 12 18:37:48 s73v3r: http://ptpb.pw/q9lY Jan 12 18:38:09 have you opened it up in Studio? Jan 12 18:38:33 s73v3r: No, I'm using atom Jan 12 18:38:38 open it in studio Jan 12 18:39:02 and have you added the debug flag to your build line? Jan 12 18:39:24 no just ./gradlew build --info Jan 12 18:40:08 so try debug Jan 12 18:41:50 s73v3r: Do you need the log with --debug? Jan 12 18:41:59 Do I have to paste it? Jan 12 18:42:06 no, you should just read it Jan 12 18:46:22 When is it good practise to put strings in the string resources file? Jan 12 18:46:56 almost always Jan 12 18:48:23 why? Jan 12 18:48:32 s73v3r: Installing studio, isn't this possible without studio? Jan 12 18:48:54 possibly, but why wouldn’t you want to use the tools designed for this very thing? Jan 12 18:51:34 s73v3r: I tend to keep things simple: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux#Simplicity Jan 12 18:51:59 cobbling together a bunch of ad hoc tools instead of using the purpose built thing isn’t keeping things simple Jan 12 18:52:10 I think it's nice to use the terminal for android tools. and using git and such. But when it comes to trying to use the android compiler, android lint, etc etc. It's easier to just use studio Jan 12 18:54:54 s73v3r: not a bunch really, only the sdk and atom Jan 12 18:56:30 Most of the information I've gotten for running gradle in the command line was from stackoverflow Jan 12 18:58:25 yes, it's possible to do android development without android studio, just takes some work to get everything together Jan 12 18:58:32 but you're better off running android studio Jan 12 18:59:30 I've tried to do tutorials and such from the gradle website. There's a book you can download from gradle.org called android recipes, but I've still found stackoverflow to be a better source of information Jan 12 19:01:44 Girafferson: It's straight forward, I look for stackoverflow among the results 80% of the times I google something programming-specific Jan 12 19:02:52 is google still working on the experimental gradle plugin ? Jan 12 19:03:02 And there is also a stackoverflow question 80% of the times Jan 12 19:03:09 looking at the versions, its not clear Jan 12 19:03:33 neat, the native parts of shadowsocks for android is written in go? Jan 12 19:03:46 mohsen_: Yeah at this point a have a corner on one of my monitors specifically for stackoverflow lol Jan 12 19:04:06 s73v3r: Okay, android studio digged out the xmls that were causing the problems, but it's weird that gradle doesn't specify which xml file exactly is producing the problem. Jan 12 19:04:30 usually it does. Did the debug not show it? Jan 12 19:05:25 which file was causing the issue? Jan 12 19:05:51 4 layout files Jan 12 19:05:59 :D https://ptpb.pw/vCtL take a look please Jan 12 19:06:16 This is the log with --debug and --info, I couldn't file the specific files, see if you do? Jan 12 19:08:14 /home/mohsen/Android/Sdk/build-tools/25.0.0/aapt package -f --no-crunch -I /home/mohsen/Android/Sdk/platforms/android-19/android.jar -M /home/mohsen/Projects/Atr/build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml -S /home/mohsen/Projects/Atr/build/intermediates/res/debug -A /home/mohsen/Projects/Atr/build/intermediates/assets/debug -m -J /home/mohsen/Projects/Atr/build/generated/source/r/debug -F /home/mohsen/Projects/Atr/build/intermediates/re Jan 12 19:08:15 sources/resources-debug.ap_ --debug-mode --custom-package com.perfume -0 apk Jan 12 19:08:18 run that from the commandline Jan 12 19:08:21 you get your error Jan 12 19:10:14 how difficult Jan 12 19:10:42 mohsen_: the processDebugResources is a gradle task if I'm not mistaken. So you should be able that specific task on gradle with debug output or something Jan 12 19:11:07 mohsen_: Which is the task that was failing. That's why it wasn't showing you which file Jan 12 19:12:27 I see, I'm not good at gradle, I have to learn it. Jan 12 19:13:23
