**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 28 02:59:57 2008 Jan 28 03:27:37 Does anybody know what the mime-type for an apk file should be so that it can be downloaded by the android browser? Jan 28 06:16:47 is anyone around? Jan 28 06:20:44 yep Jan 28 07:53:48 which class should I use for date manipulation? I am not a java developer previously Jan 28 08:53:51 oh Jan 28 08:53:57 Nokia is acquiring Trolltech ... Jan 28 08:56:25 yeah, just saw that, weird Jan 28 08:56:43 maybe its because of that shitty open source phone they have Jan 28 09:09:28 probably just getting rid of them Jan 28 16:11:35 romainguy? I asked for help yesterday about a view that won't seem to redraw, and you advised me to Log info to find out about the problem Jan 28 16:11:49 I've changed my class to do so: http://pastebin.ca/876110 Jan 28 16:12:23 It turns out, at first, the width and height of the view are 0, but they change to 320, so that's apparently not the problem Jan 28 16:12:30 and the View's set to visible as well Jan 28 17:05:56 xn/join #android Jan 28 17:06:31 you're already here ;) Jan 28 17:31:52 yawn Jan 28 17:34:36 morning jasta Jan 28 17:46:17 morning Jan 28 17:47:49 any opinions on nokia buying trolltech? Jan 28 17:48:15 It's just positioning. Jan 28 17:48:20 Doesn't mean anything. Jan 28 17:48:25 yea Jan 28 17:49:08 why do they need new/different positioning? Jan 28 17:51:32 do you think this in direct response to google/android? Jan 28 17:51:49 no Jan 28 17:52:13 i think it's just the mobile market changing/growing Jan 28 17:52:30 i think it's a partial response to both google and apple entering the market Jan 28 17:55:22 but time to head back to finish up the afternoon of interviews bbl Jan 28 17:55:43 or nokia is planning to release something that will compete with google's android Jan 28 17:55:50 no, definitely not. Jan 28 17:55:59 why not Jan 28 17:56:12 i see the trolltech purchase to help sure up their N8xx series of internet tablets Jan 28 17:56:56 agreed. Nokia is just buying up Trolltech to incorporate some of their existing works and experience into other Nokia endeavours. Jan 28 17:57:12 that sounds really boring Jan 28 17:57:14 I doubt very much that they bought them specifically for the platform. Jan 28 17:57:46 lede most purchases are ;) Jan 28 17:58:21 aight i'm out Jan 28 17:59:14 in other news, i just checked on the FCC's 700MHz spectrum auction and it looks like the minimum requirement for an open network has not been reached yet. Jan 28 17:59:41 It's close though. I wonder if somebody successfully tested Google's bluff. Jan 28 18:00:11 from the press release "enable Nokia to accelerate its cross-platform software strategy for mobile devices and desktop" does cross-platform mean within their own products or on other peoples devices including the desktop market. That seems an interesting position. Jan 28 18:00:51 jasta: I agree, the 700MHz outcome will be interesting to watch Jan 28 18:03:24 $4.6 billion is an amount of money I can't even comprehend :) Jan 28 18:14:09 If my calculation is correct if you spent 1 dollar per second it would take more than 145 years to spend it all (4.6*10^9/(3600*24*365)) thats a lot of money Jan 28 18:18:23 But it is only about $15 per person in the usa (4.6*10^9)/(300*10^6) of course Jan 28 18:18:25 your not going to get 100% penetration but even at 10% and $150 per person Jan 28 18:18:26 there seems to be a payback. You can bet these guys aren't going to lose money:) Jan 28 18:37:48 hehe Jan 28 18:41:41 nice Jan 28 18:41:45 nokia buys trolltech Jan 28 18:59:56 word Jan 28 19:03:05 why did you choose xbit as a name? Jan 28 19:19:59 because i am the executable bit! Jan 28 19:20:33 or the unknown, if you'd like Jan 28 19:27:52 norbit? Jan 28 19:29:36 no Jan 28 19:30:10 after bits come qubits behond that are xbits! Jan 28 19:30:15 :o) Jan 28 19:31:27 yes, exactly :) Jan 28 22:17:20 So, is there some preferred convention for storing files on the sdcard? Jan 28 22:17:32 /sdcard/package/ perhaps? Jan 28 22:32:55 who cares, i'll just do whatever :) Jan 28 23:00:33 * jasta likes Google's resource internationalization. Jan 29 02:04:41 super weak on the challenge extension Jan 29 02:10:33 zhobbs: Why? Jan 29 02:11:42 romainguy_, just been working hard to keep my project on time Jan 29 02:12:06 Which means you can make it even better :) Jan 29 02:12:09 I guess I'll have time to do another one because of the extension Jan 29 02:13:01 SDK update is good though Jan 29 02:13:05 agree that it's super weak. Jan 29 02:13:31 let me point your attention to this excerpt from the blog: "we've made significant updates to the SDK" Jan 29 02:13:56 that's a good thing... Jan 29 02:15:01 so why not use those "significant upgrades" for phase II? Jan 29 02:15:26 whoa Jan 29 02:15:32 is the challegence extended? Jan 29 02:15:40 april 15 Jan 29 02:15:45 awesome Jan 29 02:15:48 hehe Jan 29 02:15:50 14th Jan 29 02:15:50 i can procrastinate longer Jan 29 02:16:07 thats more in line with the university season Jan 29 02:16:12 thx google Jan 29 02:17:29 hehe, I'm sure it's a 50/50 split on "thx" vs "damn" Jan 29 02:17:36 why Jan 29 02:17:40 more time on anything is great Jan 29 02:18:36 maybe I'm so lazy I'm just thinking of the extra month and a half I have to work on it :) Jan 29 02:19:41 well imo it was a bit rough asking people to implement something in a couple of months on alpha quality apis Jan 29 02:20:03 or unimplemented apis Jan 29 02:23:25 > !google fight thx damn Jan 29 02:23:30 damn: 202000000, thx: 79200000 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jan 29 02:59:57 2008
