**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 01 03:00:03 2017 Mar 01 03:08:27 when you make a new class, do you put it in its own file? Mar 01 03:09:07 Like, if I have a simple app to send an audio file, I just recorded, to a linux server on a tcp port, where do I put my "public class TcpClient {}" code? Mar 01 03:09:33 (I'm new to java and to android coding so I'm not sure how to properly organize these things) Mar 01 03:09:46 Usually a new file. Mar 01 03:09:55 like TcpClient.java ? Mar 01 03:09:58 Yes Mar 01 03:10:02 thanks Roughy :) Mar 01 03:10:03 You may also place it inside an existing class Mar 01 03:10:07 if it makes sense to do so Mar 01 03:10:52 When inside another class, it cannot be instantiated without an instance of the parent class, unless you make the new class static. Mar 01 03:12:22 I'll interject that _that_ is a rather advanced usage Mar 01 03:12:23 no it's probably good to be general Mar 01 03:12:28 For now, just make each class it's own file Mar 01 03:12:37 just to use for any other clients I might make Mar 01 03:13:09 The subclass thing will make sense eventually, just not right now Mar 01 03:13:35 It's kind of a "which hole does the golf club go into" problem Mar 01 03:13:46 I've not heard of that problem :) Mar 01 03:15:32 They have this code too: public class ConnectTask extends AsyncTask {} Mar 01 03:15:41 I have a knack for somewhat disturbing metaphors Mar 01 03:15:42 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38162775/really-simple-tcp-client Mar 01 03:15:51 (first of two answers) Mar 01 03:15:56 Dagmar, lol :) Mar 01 03:16:08 The golf club goes in the hole it came out of in the golf club bag, but you won't know that until you've seen the bag, dig? Mar 01 03:16:18 I actually already read through the tutorial they based it on, but it was way more than I wanted Mar 01 03:16:25 By then it makes so much sense you wouldn't even think anything of it Mar 01 03:16:42 dagmar, I figured that was the idea you meant.. it's called a subclass? Mar 01 03:18:31 the public class ConnectTask extends AsyncTask -- is that within my public class MainActivity? Mar 01 03:21:05 I mean, how do you decide? Mar 01 03:21:22 ConnectTask needs to modify some variables of the parent task Mar 01 03:21:27 you decide whether it needs access to your other private vars and such? Mar 01 03:21:36 ah Mar 01 03:21:53 so either you need to either pass the parent class instant to it Mar 01 03:22:11 or declare it as a non-static subclass, so it has direct access to all teh variables of the parent class instance Mar 01 03:22:15 I see it modifies the mTcpClient variable, which is supposed to be in the main ui Mar 01 03:22:46 so fascinating Mar 01 03:22:58 s/instant/instance Mar 01 03:22:59 I've done straight C for decades :) Mar 01 03:23:02 nod Mar 01 03:23:18 my condolences Mar 01 03:24:41 heh Mar 01 03:25:01 new ConnectTask().execute(""); When they use this, they pass a single "" Mar 01 03:25:20 but ConnectTask extends AsyncTask {} Mar 01 03:25:41 what do String String TcpClient end up being set to? Mar 01 03:26:18 (I don't see an execute() method there at all.. must be something in AsyncTask) Mar 01 03:26:26 * jaggz looks that up Mar 01 03:27:04 ConnectTask extends AsyncTask Mar 01 03:27:22 the 3 types there correspond to params, progress, result Mar 01 03:27:24 (I don't understand generics fully still) Mar 01 03:28:44 Execute is how you run the task, so this will take one or more values of the type params Mar 01 03:28:53 Strings(s), in this case Mar 01 03:29:17 I don't see how you just say new ConnectTask().execute("") without those params Mar 01 03:29:40 I'd expect new ConnectTask(foo,bar,something) Mar 01 03:29:53 If you have a look at the declaration of ConnectTask Mar 01 03:30:12 you'll see that it has a few methods inside it, namely doInBackground and onProgressUpdate Mar 01 03:30:16 yeah Mar 01 03:30:50 you can also implement OnPostExecute Mar 01 03:31:02 yeah I saw that in android's AsyncTask docs Mar 01 03:31:21 These 3 correspond to the types provided in ConnectTask extends AsyncTask Mar 01 03:31:44 Params is the type that will be provided to doInBackground, and also what you have to provide when calling execute() Mar 01 03:31:52 How does AsyncTask differentiate one String from the other String? Mar 01 03:32:04 if they don't have unique names Mar 01 03:32:16 those are primitive types Mar 01 03:32:26 String, Float, Double, Integer etc Mar 01 03:32:45 yeah.. read that those could be used in the java generics page Mar 01 03:33:00 Note how the last one is TcpClient, meaning the result must provide an instance of class TcpClient Mar 01 03:33:32 hmmmm... Mar 01 03:33:55 getting an inkling of understanding (more not being a fault of yours of course) Mar 01 03:34:05 so they have their generic AsyncTask Mar 01 03:34:36 when we're extending it, we just use the types because.. we don't care about the names and aren't going to be using them? Mar 01 03:35:59 Looking at the definition of ConnectTask again, it passes the string parameter on to the OnProgressUpdate Mar 01 03:36:30 It runs the task with the string input HELLO Mar 01 03:36:53 this starts a TcpClient and has it do... stuff Mar 01 03:37:15 everytime the TcpClient receives a message, it calls OnProgressUpdate("HELLO") Mar 01 03:37:17 wait where's HELLO? Mar 01 03:37:26 I'm using that as an example of a String put Mar 01 03:37:32 *String input Mar 01 03:37:52 doInBackground(String... message) Mar 01 03:37:55 Changing the original to Mar 01 03:37:58 so it gets the first ? Mar 01 03:37:58 new ConnectTask().execute("HELLO"); Mar 01 03:38:17 then onProgressUpdate(String... values) takes the second, in order? Mar 01 03:38:36 (String... message) means you can pass any number of Strings to the method Mar 01 03:38:48 so on the method side, message is actually an array Mar 01 03:39:02 okay.. a java varargs type thing? Mar 01 03:39:08 yup Mar 01 03:39:16 I'm terrible at explaining Mar 01 03:39:24 give me a second and I'll try writing up a ... more structured explanation Mar 01 03:39:32 awwww Mar 01 03:39:34 thank you so much Mar 01 03:40:14 * jaggz feels bad for taking your time with his unclear questions and understanding Mar 01 03:40:49 (but, then again, I've sat in irc helping people for years so.. used to that end of things) Mar 01 03:48:50 Has anybody ever had issues with fragments inside a viewpager not respecting layout_marginBottom? Mar 01 03:53:00 jaggz: https://hastebin.com/vuwududiru.java Mar 01 03:56:12 err, small correction https://hastebin.com/gevipehepe.java Mar 01 03:58:41 i'm trying to do create a view similar to a bottom bar. it starts expanded, however i want to it to start in a collapsed state. i'm using animate().translate in onCreate(), but that doesn't seem to work. where/when should I do something like this/ Mar 01 04:04:35 Syzygy: Animating is different from actually moving Mar 01 04:04:48 Roughy, re Mar 01 04:05:09 actually, forget the animate(), i'm using setTranslationY() Mar 01 04:06:43 can I do this in onMeasure or will this be lead to unexpected results? Mar 01 04:07:19 also, if i do setTranslationY(500) twice, will it have moved 1000 from it's original spot or just 500? Mar 01 04:08:24 Only one way to find out Mar 01 04:09:31 500 Mar 01 04:10:05 I need a better source code viewer in Android :) Mar 01 04:10:23 (had to leave desktop and am viewing hastebin on my phone) Mar 01 04:10:33 which means since onMeasure does what I want and calling it several times does not move it away by several times, I can use onMeasure without issues >D Mar 01 04:11:32 SetTranslation sets the position relative to its layout position Mar 01 04:11:59 Presumably it doesn't work in onCreate() because it has not been layout yet, Mar 01 04:12:46 Roughy, i got it working by now. thanks for your help though. Mar 01 04:12:49 Might be better to do it in onLayout() though Mar 01 04:13:08 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Mar 01 04:13:14 i did it in onMeasure, partly because i'm using getMeasuredHeight() Mar 01 04:21:44 Hmm, so I just downloaded the Android studio and the NDK last week, and its seems that the SDK is version 25, and the NDK does not even have the option for android-25 (it ends at 24). I'm wondering if this inconsistency is was it causing the errors regardless of whether I use JDK 8 or JDK 7. Would I need to downgrade the SDK android version in order to work with the NDK? Mar 01 04:24:11 I don't recall there being anything version-specific about the ndk. Where does it stop at 24? Mar 01 04:25:12 "Google's SVP of hardware Rick Osterloh has announced the second version of the Pixel laptop will be the last of its kind. " huh Mar 01 04:25:26 guess we won't have to worry about android desktop apps :D Mar 01 04:26:32 Inside of home/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/platforms/ there are a bunch of folders for platform versions, and they only go up to "/android-24" Mar 01 04:27:36 But /home/Android/Sdk/platforms/ has a single folder called "/android-25" Mar 01 04:28:11 Ah, right you are Mar 01 04:28:41 I've been Google searching the errors that I've been getting, and all the results keep talking about things like having to downgrade to a lower java version and android versions being misaligned. Mar 01 04:28:51 But this is all a little above my head Mar 01 04:29:17 I'm just guessing here from what I see in my folders... Mar 01 04:29:35 But since I downloaded them just a few days ago, I don't see how they would be outdated. Mar 01 04:29:48 Indeed they are not Mar 01 04:29:54 So I guessed that one is out of synch with the other Mar 01 04:30:03 But could that be the source of the problem? Mar 01 04:30:13 I've been using the current NDK while targeting sdk 25, so I don't think that should be a problem Mar 01 04:30:37 CaptainBlackton are you still using ecere ? Mar 01 04:31:07 because everyone here assumes you are using AS likely Mar 01 04:32:36 Yes, ndk can usually target a lower api than the sdk without problems Mar 01 04:32:50 I have ndk's targeting donut and eclair Mar 01 04:36:20 Using Ecere is no different than any other app written in C or C++ using the NDK. Mar 01 04:36:58 The errors don't seem to be referencing anything in Ecere either. They seem to be compiler errors Mar 01 04:37:13 And what do these errors say? Mar 01 04:37:41 After switching to jdk 7, the error I get says: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/android/dx/command/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 Mar 01 04:38:26 52 is java 8 Mar 01 04:39:46 Yes, so wouldn't that mean that it is looking for something that is in java 8 when I've switched back to java 7? Mar 01 04:40:32 roughy, thank you, again... been reading it over and over :) Mar 01 04:45:19 But when I still had java 8 installed, it gave this similar error: processing obj/release.linux.arm64/classes/./com/ecere/hello/hello.class... Mar 01 04:45:19 PARSE ERROR: Mar 01 04:45:19 unsupported class file version 52.0 Mar 01 04:49:40 how are you building this? Mar 01 05:04:15 CaptainBlackton have you tried the ecere bulletins ? Mar 01 05:42:27 hi Mar 01 05:43:21 i want to create the marker only on the streets/roads not on buildings in google maps,how can i do this? Mar 01 05:48:17 Hi, I need to know if the following is possible - sending data from my backend to my app without making the app make an api call. Mar 01 05:48:50 Umm... Probably? Mar 01 05:49:01 I know I can notifications and catch them and perform specific tasks but can't the user disable notifications? Mar 01 05:49:09 So long as you don't count recieving push notifications as an 'API call' Mar 01 05:49:17 big|bad|wolf: are you talking about the advanced system called "push"? Mar 01 05:49:45 notifications and push messaging are not the same thing Mar 01 05:50:09 The other option I've found is using firebase realtime database and creating a listener but I don't really need to store the data. Mar 01 05:50:13 push notifications are just given to your recieving class Mar 01 05:50:21 They're not the same thing as the Notifications you see on the top of the phone Mar 01 05:50:34 Ahhh so the user can't really stop that then? Mar 01 05:50:37 Nope Mar 01 05:50:48 Most of the time they're completely unaware of them in the first place Mar 01 05:50:53 Interesting Mar 01 05:50:57 They're just magic pixie dust as far as the user knows Mar 01 05:51:19 They're also kind of pointless unless they result in the app generating some kind of message for the user Mar 01 05:51:44 I think there is an option now for firebase push to have messages go straight to a notification if the app isn't running... Mar 01 05:52:16 Leeds: You should read up on them in more detail. It's not even as complex as you think. Mar 01 05:52:18 Dagmar: makes a lot of sense to push an app to update, so latest data is available immediately without having to load it when the user opens the app Mar 01 05:52:39 Push it is Mar 01 05:52:45 Thank you Dagmar and Leeds Mar 01 05:52:51 Leeds: Yeah but that's kind of a heavy-handed usage. Mar 01 05:53:25 Dagmar: sure, but there are cases where it makes sense Mar 01 05:54:01 I honestly can't think of any that wouldn't result in a lot of wasted sends Mar 01 05:54:39 If you push an update to a substantial amount of data, and the user never looks until a second one has come down, the first one was wasted bandwidth Mar 01 05:54:54 how about... traffic events (e.g. a crash) nearby - I don't need telling about it if I'm not driving, but I'd like it to be immediately available when I open maps Mar 01 05:55:28 Doesn't really work, either. The app would have to know which direction you're going, and it can just find out what accidents are in the way while it's looking up the route Mar 01 05:55:31 Like it does Mar 01 05:55:47 Doesn't matter if there's an accident three miles in the direction the user isn't going Mar 01 05:56:01 nope, I don't want to have to look up a route - just tell me what's going on near me Mar 01 05:56:04 anyway, meh Mar 01 05:56:09 ...and if you're talking about Nashville pretty much any morning, there's about ten wrecks every ten miles in every direction Mar 01 05:56:17 On fucking FLAT ground Mar 01 05:56:20 With no rain Mar 01 05:56:23 because idiots Mar 01 05:57:23 The delay involved in just polling for info like that on an as-needed basis is under a couple seconds Mar 01 05:58:24 But hey, caching problems are complex and annoying Mar 01 06:05:11 Hey guys, so what I was looking for was Firebase Cloud Messaging instead of Firebase Push Notifications? Mar 01 06:06:10 While talking android specific both should be able to do the same thing, because you can capture the push notification before generation the top pull down Notification Mar 01 06:07:05 But on iOS (I'm not sure about this) I think it only lets you trigger an action once the Notification is tapped on Mar 01 06:08:33 I'm a backend developer so sorry about the long ass questions Mar 01 06:09:47 basically with fcm you're running a service/listener that triggers once theres a notification, and on the client you can do whatever you want with that notification: internal, popup a push notification, design it etc Mar 01 06:17:15 i gets it now Mar 01 06:37:42 thepoosh Mar 01 06:37:45 buddy Mar 01 06:37:47 hi hi Mar 01 06:37:52 today is my first day Mar 01 06:37:56 in school Mar 01 06:38:01 woohoooo Mar 01 06:38:03 congrats Mar 01 06:38:10 you'd be a great teacher Mar 01 06:38:20 hope so Mar 01 06:38:20 just imagine everyone naked thepoosh Mar 01 06:38:34 i would rather not have erections while teaching Mar 01 06:39:47 thepoosh: i need u to test something, your QA might have missed it: facebook login, without any native facebook client (ie webview) with leakcanary or some other memory leak analyzer Mar 01 06:39:56 http://i.imgur.com/lDNRRLg.jpg Mar 01 06:40:21 it keeps leaking 5.2/5.4 kb, no matter which version of their shitty sdk i am using Mar 01 06:40:36 right after it returns to the app from that webview Mar 01 06:56:57 raoul11: 0_0 Mar 01 06:57:07 yes Mar 01 06:57:16 thepoosh http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32139576/few-memory-leaks-in-facebook-sdk Mar 01 06:57:27 i have the exact same leak in my canary /: Mar 01 06:57:36 tried about 5 diff facebook sdk versions Mar 01 06:57:55 the guy there said it was fixed in 4.2.0 Mar 01 06:58:36 wasnt Mar 01 06:58:41 another said 4.7.0 Mar 01 06:58:42 wasnt Mar 01 06:58:53 another said 4.10.0, guess what - wasnt Mar 01 06:59:16 facebook said it was fixed in 4.19.0 (latest), guess what - it still leaks Mar 01 07:01:37 I never understood why they use webview, why can't they do it using native components :/ Mar 01 07:01:59 looking into the code now Mar 01 07:03:17 the leak is totally outside the scope of the app Mar 01 07:04:44 astroduck, so you can experience how slow it is Mar 01 07:04:54 and apparently, how leaky it is Mar 01 07:05:23 might be a leak in the Android web client Mar 01 07:08:01 perhaps Mar 01 07:08:30 g2g thepoosh, lemme know what conclusions u get Mar 01 07:08:50 well, I am now following the rabbit hole of facebook login Mar 01 07:08:58 there is a FacebookActivity.java Mar 01 07:10:33 FacebookDialogFragment.java Mar 01 07:11:21 raoul11: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk/blob/master/facebook/src/main/java/com/facebook/internal/FacebookDialogFragment.java#L75 Mar 01 07:14:04 defuq Mar 01 07:30:24 Hi all, how can you have system permission in development without signing your app with the platform key? Mar 01 08:45:11 Hello, I have a text view with wrap_content as the width but when text starts to go to a new line it leaves a gap on the right side and it seems it does not wrap. Any ideas? Mar 01 08:45:39 picture? Mar 01 08:45:46 s/picture/screenshot Mar 01 08:46:14 thepoosh ! Mar 01 08:46:18 A retention of 15% over 3 weeks is quite good right? Mar 01 09:02:57 g00s: hi Mar 01 09:03:00 what's up? Mar 01 09:03:05 hey thepoosh . new sdk update Mar 01 09:03:16 sdk? Mar 01 09:03:17 looks like the standalone android tool went away ... Mar 01 09:03:27 oh, android SDK Mar 01 09:03:30 thats what AS told me. i couldn't update it through the standalone Mar 01 09:03:39 sucks Mar 01 09:03:48 and also, sounds like an isolated issue Mar 01 09:03:52 maybe the S3 one Mar 01 09:04:12 i think this is normal. the standalone went away Mar 01 09:04:28 The android command is no longer available. Mar 01 09:04:28 For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio. Mar 01 09:04:29 For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager Mar 01 09:04:29 I don't why force AS on everyone? Mar 01 09:04:59 so the GUI went away, the command line exists Mar 01 09:06:00 g00s, it's after your bedtime! Mar 01 09:06:09 going to bed Mar 01 09:06:19 hee ;p Mar 01 09:06:50 hey capella "Over 120 retired generals sign letter against Trump's defense spending plan" so trump is taking money from places like EPA and giving more to the DoD than what they asked for - brilliant Mar 01 09:07:19 I like it Mar 01 09:07:30 maga = make america grey again Mar 01 09:07:39 120 retired dem leaning Mar 01 09:07:56 well the pentagon said they needed X, not X + 120 b Mar 01 09:08:14 which is already like way too much Mar 01 09:08:15 cite? Mar 01 09:08:46 https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/114th-congress-2015-2016/reports/51050-2016fydp.pdf Mar 01 09:09:06 x averaging ~$534b Mar 01 09:09:19 g00s 3,000 people I know say Obama should jump off a bridge Mar 01 09:09:22 so did he want to increase or decrese the budget for the spending plan? Mar 01 09:09:39 Syzygy increase it, beyond what they asked for Mar 01 09:09:40 heh, random analogy Mar 01 09:10:09 Part of the infrastructure spending package Mar 01 09:10:15 Syzygy so in order for trump to spend, he has to cut + cook the books pretending 4% growth Mar 01 09:10:31 bush spent way too much, thats how the tea party kinda got started Mar 01 09:10:46 We'll hit 4...European rate already waking up Mar 01 09:11:08 bama spent 6trillion Mar 01 09:11:35 so he proposed to increase spending, those retired (why do they matter) generals were against it, and now he still wants to spend that much but trying to finance it differently? did I understand that correctly? Mar 01 09:11:37 well that was to rejuvenate an economy wrecked by bush Mar 01 09:12:20 bama and his progressive spending policies pushed the through loose credit at hud g00s caused it Mar 01 09:12:36 he's already asked his economists to assume 4% growth and backfill the numbers Mar 01 09:12:55 well, don't expect cbo to help Mar 01 09:12:56 capella well, he handed Trump a 'decent' economy so it kinda worked, eh ? Mar 01 09:13:18 decent not great, like the middle class getting gutted still Mar 01 09:13:24 decent? meh, underreported unemployment Mar 01 09:13:27 I wonder if this will ruin the world economy again, or just the US economy. Mar 01 09:13:37 oh yeah those fake numbers, right ! Mar 01 09:13:45 it'll fix japan! Mar 01 09:13:58 Syzygy everything is connected, so impact will ripple Mar 01 09:14:00 no more negative interest rates Mar 01 09:14:02 japan is differently screwed from most other places Mar 01 09:14:39 Id guess the nuclear thing still hurts japan Mar 01 09:14:50 Syzygy especially if trade wars from protectionism Mar 01 09:14:52 as in, cancelation Mar 01 09:14:55 mostly, a lack of young people and a strong aversion to immigration Mar 01 09:15:11 very close population Mar 01 09:15:30 not closed Mar 01 09:15:51 great place for a holiday though :) Mar 01 09:17:15 why the hell did google put binaries in tools/ and tools/bin Mar 01 09:18:55 because easier is near. happy egg hunt. Mar 01 09:19:05 Hi guys! I'm using a mapview in my app. On the device it works fine, in the emulator i get a message that my app won't run without Google Play services, which are not supported by your device. Mar 01 09:19:25 So how can i test my location / maps based app in the emulator? Mar 01 09:19:39 replman you have to use an emu with Google API / play services Mar 01 09:19:58 hopefully its up to date, they still havent fixed that though Mar 01 09:20:17 man, almost 10 years and google can't figure out how to give us an emulator with up to date play services Mar 01 09:20:18 g00s: How to do that? Mar 01 09:20:37 "Dead cockroaches have different magnetic properties compared to their living counterparts, according to Tomasz Paterek from Nanyang Technical University in Singapore" Mar 01 09:20:45 go into the sdk manager and d/l one with play services ... Mar 01 09:20:51 then run that one Mar 01 09:21:18 the soul is magnetic, confirmed Mar 01 09:21:25 also, cockroaches have a soul, confirmed. Mar 01 09:21:39 that's why they don't stick to my refrigerator Mar 01 09:22:12 while alive they're attracted to it though. Mar 01 09:25:24 g00s: in the sdk manager i just see the different Android versions. Mar 01 09:32:04 capella don't eat any and get an MRI Mar 01 09:32:45 * capella mad cockroach disease Mar 01 09:34:07 thepoosh lol, sdkmanager is still fucking up the output Mar 01 09:34:11 system-images;a...gle_apis;x86_64 | 4 | Google APIs Intel x86 Atom_64 ... Mar 01 09:34:30 i thought after 4 months they would have fixed it Mar 01 09:34:41 i think it was one of the first bugs filed, because you can't do shit with that Mar 01 09:35:51 g00s: i got it, thank you! Mar 01 09:50:58 Has anyone tried firebase realtime database? I can't put a multiline string inside it. It converts \n to space Mar 01 10:00:41 Morning, i recently updated my android SDK and i now seem to be missing my gradle wrapper. Mar 01 10:01:24 It's looking in AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\templates\gradle\wrapper the templates dir does not exist however Mar 01 10:07:18 If i want my app to run on devices with API >=22, shall i set compileSdkVersion=25,minSdkVersion=22,targetSdkVersion=25 or compileSdkVersion=25,minSdkVersion=22,targetSdkVersion=22? TargetSdkVersion is my problem... Mar 01 10:09:05 I believe the targetsdkversion barely matters. it should run regardless. Mar 01 10:09:50 I would like the compiler to tell me if i use something not available with api22... Mar 01 10:10:42 minSdk=22 Mar 01 10:10:45 that's what minSdkVersion is for. targetSdkVersion is for forwardcompability. Mar 01 10:10:47 rest should be newest sdk Mar 01 10:10:56 thank you! Mar 01 10:11:06 https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html here you can read up on that. Mar 01 11:55:28 Can service start just a one needed activity and after finish() return to the previous point of view? Mar 01 11:57:08 mine starts needed activity and after finish returning to previous point of view in this application or to activity which starts this service Mar 01 11:57:35 depends of previous point of view Mar 01 11:58:14 if the activity finishes, the screen returns to previous screen before activity started Mar 01 11:59:24 yeah, but if (for example) i was on home screen and my service has to start a needed activity - it start whole application and open needed activity in it Mar 01 11:59:59 after finish activity i return to previous screen, which is main activity of this application Mar 01 12:01:14 actually, it's not main, but this is not important, i think Mar 01 12:01:32 fiddle with intent flags like Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK Mar 01 12:01:58 yeah, i am using them Mar 01 12:03:15 by any chance .. can I not add a fingerprint login into my android app which transfers the info about fingerprint just scanned and verifies it with database within remote server.. Mar 01 12:03:24 for authentication purposes? Mar 01 12:08:06 Without NEW_TASK flag app wont be made Mar 01 12:17:09 Hey all.. Mar 01 12:17:48 I'm trying to figure out how to write a native activity application.. I'm missing something though. Mar 01 12:18:07 Anyone here ever use one of the samples? Mar 01 12:18:30 Ashiren, I solved it, thanks to you Mar 01 12:22:06 native activity? Mar 01 12:22:27 oh ndk Mar 01 12:23:44 Yeah.. but with no java component. Mar 01 12:23:49 a nativity Mar 01 12:24:54 10/10 would chuckle again Mar 01 12:26:09 I've followed the steps outlined on the samples (Like native plasma) but gradle hangs... I seem to remember that the SO has to be made before running the app. Mar 01 12:26:19 Some stuff in the terminal.. Mar 01 12:26:39 I was wondering if anyone knows the missing steps Mar 01 12:36:49 I'm trying to get my phones signal strength as accurately as possible, but using TelephonyManager/PhoneStateListener.onSignalStrengthsChanged(...) it seems like it's mostly fixed to steps of 30/40. (-90, -120, -160db) Any idea how I could get that more accurately? Mar 01 12:44:29 I'm trying to do something with android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED, android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE broadcast receivers, so that i receive a broadcast when wifi is turned off or if i walk out of wifi range. Both is working on most phones i tried it with, but on the Nexus 6, I can just walk out of range without a broadcast being received. Why would that not trigger? Mar 01 12:57:48 Anyone know how to handle Unsupported class: com.mediatek.common.telephony.IOnlySimSupport? Mar 01 12:59:05 what about the other classes in that package? Mar 01 12:59:30 and what is the IOnly... class look like Mar 01 13:03:21 hithere Mar 01 13:10:31 Looks like its from android intern and i can't get access Mar 01 13:13:25 That looks like internal framework stuff you kinda shouldn't touch as an app. Mar 01 13:44:05 :>>:><:><><<< Mar 01 13:44:12 sry wrong channel lol Mar 01 13:44:41 Syntax error: Expected ; Mar 01 13:52:46 ; Mar 01 13:53:06 why no one closes tags Mar 01 13:56:45 /> Mar 01 14:24:24 Does anyone know where I can find a good Auto Size Text View that will match width and wrap height to it's selected text size? Mar 01 14:24:58 everyone I try seems to leave the bounds of the TextView at what they were in the initial font Mar 01 14:34:10 Yesterday I received bugreport.txt with lot of rows. This bug report was generated on my device, and send through mail app to mail associated with my application. I would like to understand what happened from recieved report. I have found this https://source.android.com/source/read-bug-reports.html#scans Mar 01 14:34:48 but I do not truly understand why are they searching for BluetoothLeScanner Mar 01 14:35:28 it is just an example Mar 01 14:35:57 of course - but I would like to know where to start first when searching for what happened Mar 01 14:36:12 the name of the app that crashed? Mar 01 14:36:26 yes - that is what I did as a first thing Mar 01 14:36:29 but Mar 01 14:38:20 but my app is not listed among those in PID mappings - Mar 01 14:38:32 i got a dialogfragment with animations i set on onActivityCreated - after i close the screen with the power button, and reopen - the dialog entry is again showen with the animations Mar 01 14:38:44 anyidea why this happens? onActivityCreated is only called once Mar 01 14:40:12 Hi Mar 01 14:41:54 good afternoon Mar 01 14:53:45 ok - I have suspicion that bugreport.txt I am looking at was generated because of crash of another (not mine) application. Is there a way to find out because of what app that bugreport was generated? Mar 01 15:20:37 I have fabric integrated in my app - there is no crash recorded, but I have received bugreport for some unknown error. What is responsible for filling right email adress when user touches "report"? Mar 01 15:24:32 bolovanos, you shouldn't need user interaction to get a fabric report Mar 01 15:25:50 bolovanos, you can add the user's email to reports with Crashlytics.setUserEmail(String email) https://docs.fabric.io/android/crashlytics/enhanced-reports.html Mar 01 15:37:36 thebishop, I know that there is no need for interaction. I am just saying that I have send report (by touching report choice) from my device, where my app is installed, but I do not have any sing of error recorded in fabric. Mar 01 15:38:19 therefore I am asuming, that there were no error in my app and by some confusion bug report was send to my bug reporting email related to my app Mar 01 15:38:19 bolovanos, first check for crashlytics initialization output in your logcat Mar 01 15:38:25 instead of some other app Mar 01 15:39:31 thebishop, right now - for production version - there is no logging , for debug version - crashlytics is off... Mar 01 15:39:32 bolovanos, you're saying a crash report from another app reported to your fabric profile? I doubt this if so Mar 01 15:39:55 thebishop, yes that is what am I saying... Mar 01 15:41:02 thebishop, I was trying to find any sing of error from my app in that bugreport.txt, but there is no stack trace or something saying that my app crashed Mar 01 15:42:04 btw - is it normal to see all acounts of reporting device in bugreport.txt? Mar 01 15:42:31 rbb Mar 01 15:52:15 bolovanos, what path is bugreport.txt? Mar 01 16:01:30 thebishop, what do u mean? Mar 01 16:14:16 thebishop, it was part of bug report email I am talking about as an attachment Mar 01 16:22:14 thebishop, i don't understand half of what you said, you could have at least shown us your bug report Mar 01 16:22:32 oops i meant, bolovanos :)) Mar 01 16:24:18 or give you keys to my house... - I wrote previously that there are all accounts on that device - who knows what else is there 290k rows... Mar 01 16:25:19 I am trying to understand what generated that report, what is responsible for choosing email address to be reported to Mar 01 16:26:27 and what exactly have to be searched in that report in order to answer my questions Mar 01 16:28:34 -_- Mar 01 16:28:55
