**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Mar 31 03:00:02 2008
Mar 31 03:03:45 <Kraln> hi
Mar 31 03:03:53 <Kraln> oh, some other jeff
Mar 31 03:04:15 <romainguy> Kraln: yes, jham :)
Mar 31 03:16:08 <tmcneal> hmm.. is there any way to do a bunch of inserts in a batch?  it appears SQLDatabase.execSQL() only accepts one statement at a time
Mar 31 03:16:39 <tmcneal> and perhaps does some extra stuff... inserting 1250 rows took 35 seconds
Mar 31 03:20:20 <tmcneal> guess there isn't one.. execSQL calls a native C function
Mar 31 03:25:31 <jtoy> hi guys, can someone help with a really stupid problem, after upgrading to m5 and porting my code, it now compiles, but now when I run the program, it has an exception immediately  saying the main class can't be loaded
Mar 31 03:28:52 <tmcneal> what's the actual error msg
Mar 31 03:29:30 <jtoy> the actual error is: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.sanbit.android.mystats/com.sanbit.android.mystats.Mystats}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sanbit.android.mystats.Mystats in loader android.lang.PathClassLoader@40069930
Mar 31 03:29:38 <jtoy> Mystats is the main activity
Mar 31 03:30:40 <jtoy> I have deleted my bin directory and recompiled, I am  using ant to build, my eclipse install seems to be even more messed up after moving to m5
Mar 31 03:31:01 <jtoy> I've been trying to fix this for a couple of days, but have no idea what is wrong
Mar 31 03:33:26 <zhobbs> could it be something with your manifest?
Mar 31 03:34:02 <jtoy> thats what I thought, I've totally rewritten several times and compared it with the online docs, so I am not sure what is wrong with it
Mar 31 03:34:20 <tmcneal> and the Mystats class does exist and is in the package com.sanbit.android.mystats?
Mar 31 03:35:11 <jtoy> yes, it is a class that does exists and Its included in the package
Mar 31 03:35:34 <jtoy> here is the manifest in case it helps: http://pastie.textmate.org/173022
Mar 31 03:35:48 <zhobbs> and your project is using the latest android jar and not the old one by mistage?
Mar 31 03:35:53 <zhobbs> mistake*
Mar 31 03:36:56 <jtoy> yes, I confirmed this by seeming all the compile errors when I upgraded to m5
Mar 31 03:37:22 <jtoy> the compiler woulnd't compile without changing the manifest and xml ui files to use the new format
Mar 31 03:39:41 <tmcneal> does your R.java show up in the com.sanbit.android.mystats package too?
Mar 31 03:40:22 <jtoy> yes, in the src directory
Mar 31 03:40:54 <zhobbs> in src/com/sanbit/android/mystats ?
Mar 31 03:41:08 <jtoy> yes, in that directory
Mar 31 03:41:45 <zhobbs> I haven't built any projects with ant, so unfortunately I'm probably not much help
Mar 31 03:42:30 <jtoy> I was originally on eclipse, but when i upgraded to m5, I cant compile becuase it says the package com.sanbit.android.mystats doesn't exist
Mar 31 03:42:48 <zhobbs> seems like those problems could be related
Mar 31 03:42:58 <zhobbs> in eclipse did you try to "fix project properties"?
Mar 31 03:43:10 <jtoy> and it displays that error 10x times, if i change a line in any code and try to compile, it just adds the same error, so the error list keeps growing
Mar 31 03:43:16 <jtoy> yes, I fixed project properties
Mar 31 03:44:43 <zhobbs> well, maybe you should try to create a new project at a new location on your box and just copy the source files in?
Mar 31 03:45:12 <jtoy> ok, that might work, I'll try that
Mar 31 03:47:52 <jtoy> are there ecplise related files that I need to delete in my project?
Mar 31 03:48:51 <zhobbs> not sure
Mar 31 03:50:36 <jtoy> ok, i'll check it out, thanks
Mar 31 04:34:25 <jtoy> ok, well, ecplise compiles the code now
Mar 31 04:34:48 <jtoy> but the same error occurs when launching the application
Mar 31 04:47:34 <jtoy> any ideas?
Mar 31 04:52:16 <jtoy> in ecliplse I am now getting "this launch configuration is setup to start activity com.sanbit.android.mystats.Mystats  this activity is not defined by the manifest,launch aborted
Mar 31 04:55:12 <jtoy> :(
Mar 31 05:02:33 <dueynz> jtoy, you need to add the activity to androidmanifest.xml
Mar 31 05:02:33 <jtoy> what doe that error even mean?!?!
Mar 31 05:02:44 <jtoy> dueynz: its in there though :(
Mar 31 05:02:51 <dueynz> maybe its named wrong?
Mar 31 05:03:13 <poffy__> What's the best way to pass paremeters between Activities? I have an ArrayList of an object that I want to display in a seperate activity. How would I do this?
Mar 31 05:03:16 <jtoy> i've rewritten it several times,  and checked every line
Mar 31 05:03:48 <dueynz> jtoy, there is a gui you know?
Mar 31 05:03:58 <jtoy> it builds fine if i compile from the command line, but any time I launch the app, it immediately fails:  java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.sanbit.android.mystats/com.sanbit.android.mystats.Mystats}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sanbit.android.mystats.Mystats in loader android.lang.PathClassLoader@40069930
Mar 31 05:04:05 <dueynz> when you double click on androidmanifest.xml it should open a gui editor
Mar 31 05:04:09 <dueynz> it does for me anyway
Mar 31 05:04:23 <dueynz> maybe you need to update eclipse plugin?
Mar 31 05:04:32 <jtoy> dueynz: yes, I am trying to get it work with both ecplise and the command line
Mar 31 05:04:41 <dueynz> poffy__, using bundles??
Mar 31 05:04:49 <jtoy> I am using the latest versions for ecplipse
Mar 31 05:06:08 <poffy__> dueynz, you wouldn't happen to have a bundle example link, would you?
Mar 31 05:06:24 <dueynz> well you activity is given a bundle right?
Mar 31 05:06:38 <poffy__> yes, I believe so
Mar 31 05:07:11 <dueynz> sec
Mar 31 05:08:01 <poffy__> Intent extras?
Mar 31 05:08:31 <dueynz> yeah
Mar 31 05:09:06 <dueynz> Intent i = new Intent(this, TranslationSelection.class);
Mar 31 05:09:06 <dueynz>        i.putExtra("imgfile", tv.getText());
Mar 31 05:09:50 <poffy__> I can replace tv.getText() with an array list?
Mar 31 05:09:54 <poffy__> or something similar?
Mar 31 05:10:55 <dueynz> http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/Intent.html
Mar 31 05:11:26 <dueynz> should be able to
Mar 31 05:11:31 <dueynz> as ArrayList implements serializeable
Mar 31 05:11:46 <poffy__> ok
Mar 31 05:11:56 <poffy__> Thanks for the help
Mar 31 05:32:06 <jtoy> hi guys, im trying to fix my project, I've moved each file to a new project, I get this error now though:  /Users/jtoy/projects/sanbit/stats/src/com/sanbit/android/stats/Mystats.java:24: class MyStats is public, should be declared in a file named MyStats.java
Mar 31 05:32:10 <jerkface03> Anyone submit their android challenge project yet? I'm planning to put mine in on Friday.
Mar 31 05:32:18 <jerkface03> It's not great, but it's a start.
Mar 31 05:32:21 <jtoy> that doesnt seem to make any sense to me, does anyone know what that means?
Mar 31 05:32:34 <jtoy> public class MyStats extends ListActivity {  <--- 1 error
Mar 31 05:33:22 <zhobbs> jtoy: the filename should be MyStats.java
Mar 31 05:33:36 <jtoy> ok, jsut saw the case issue
Mar 31 05:34:16 <jtoy> ok, im installing the package now, lets see if the issue is fixed this time, if its fixed, im going to be really pissed :(
Mar 31 05:34:35 <zhobbs> you should be pissed if it's not fixed ;)
Mar 31 05:35:16 <jtoy> ok, it works, I'm pissed
Mar 31 05:35:21 <jtoy> i still dont know why it works
Mar 31 05:35:36 <jtoy> all I did was change the package name and moved all the files to a new folder
Mar 31 05:35:59 <jerkface03> Mystats != MyStats ?
Mar 31 05:36:15 <zhobbs> not in linux
Mar 31 05:36:26 <zhobbs> not sure if java file names are case sensitive in windows
Mar 31 05:36:30 <zhobbs> but probably are
Mar 31 05:36:30 <jerkface03> No, I'm telling jtoy
Mar 31 05:36:37 <jerkface03> I'm not actually asking :)
Mar 31 05:36:56 <jtoy> jerkface03: In my old project I had MyStats
Mar 31 05:37:32 <jtoy> im at a complete loss, I would like to learn my lesson, btu I have no idea  what happenned :(
Mar 31 05:37:42 <jerkface03> It's case sensitive
Mar 31 05:37:57 <zhobbs> jtoy: well at least you can keep going now
Mar 31 05:39:12 <jtoy> jerkface03: the case issue just appeared now as I created a new commandline project with activityCreator.py com.sanbit.android.stats.Mystats and forget to uppercase it, then i just copied over the files to my new project
Mar 31 05:40:57 <jerkface03> Man, I've only gotten 3 hours of sleep in the past 35 or so hours
Mar 31 05:41:15 <zhobbs> jerkface03: working or can't sleep?
Mar 31 05:41:32 <jerkface03> Finals, and a lot of big assignments due
Mar 31 05:41:32 <jtoy> that sucks
Mar 31 05:41:40 <jerkface03> I just have to make it till the end of tomorrow and I'm good
Mar 31 05:41:43 <jtoy> hanging out in irc doesnt help
Mar 31 05:41:50 <jerkface03> but that means more energy drinks and no sleep again tonight
Mar 31 05:43:04 <zhobbs> jerkface03: just graduated in the fall so I know what you mean
Mar 31 05:43:28 <jerkface03> kk, back to work I go.
Mar 31 05:44:42 <zhobbs> this is craziness: http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~harry/Relay/index.html
Mar 31 05:45:01 <zhobbs> using physical relays
Mar 31 05:45:25 <jtoy> ok, its not working anymore :(
Mar 31 05:45:43 <zhobbs> heh
Mar 31 06:02:06 <jtoy> can someone tell me why the eclipse console would give me this error: [2008-03-31 02:00:59 - Mystats] class name (com/sanbit/android/mystats/UserReport) does not match path (classes/com/sanbit/android/mystats/UserReport.class)
Mar 31 06:02:07 <jtoy> ...while parsing classes/com/sanbit/android/mystats/UserReport.class
Mar 31 07:29:47 <jasta> back from Tahoe :)
Mar 31 07:31:29 <muthu> welcome back, how was the vacation?
Mar 31 07:33:03 <jasta> awesome :)
Mar 31 07:33:16 <jasta> i'll upload some pics tomorrow or whatever
Mar 31 07:33:27 * zhobbs is jealous...didn't get any snowboarding in this year
Mar 31 07:36:54 <jasta> bed time :)
Mar 31 07:41:06 <raidfive> anyone ever been skiing/boarding on Mt Hood? it has been awesome this year
Mar 31 07:42:09 <raidfive> jasta, you should create a custom map of your vacation on a site I'm currently working on ... www.mapwith.us
Mar 31 07:42:24 <raidfive> similar to the google mymaps but more feature rich
Mar 31 07:54:04 <jtoy> does anyone have a script for entering test contact  and call data into android?
Mar 31 08:03:04 <sandesh> any one there
Mar 31 08:03:40 <sandesh> anyone there can any one tell me how to overlay
Mar 31 08:03:47 <sandesh> my code not getting overlay
Mar 31 08:18:02 <muthu> zhobbs are you there?
Mar 31 08:46:33 <sandesh> muthu
Mar 31 08:46:53 <sandesh> do u know how to overlay map
Mar 31 08:50:21 <muthu> sandesh: haven't done anything with overlay
Mar 31 09:41:04 <jtoy> how does anyone insert test data into android for calls/sms/contacts etc?
Mar 31 09:42:42 <muthu> jtoy: manually i guess
Mar 31 09:43:23 <jtoy> that really sucks
Mar 31 09:43:30 <jtoy> im sure there will be methods for it later though
Mar 31 09:43:46 <muthu> the contentprovider is available
Mar 31 09:48:44 <sandesh> jtoy
Mar 31 09:48:49 <jtoy> ?
Mar 31 09:48:52 <sandesh> have u done layering
Mar 31 09:49:00 <sandesh> maps
Mar 31 09:49:04 <jtoy> no, im sorry, I haven't
Mar 31 12:34:39 <bilboed> hi all
Mar 31 12:36:53 <bilboed> anyone managed to mount the system.img using yaffs2 on a desktop machine (linux) ?
Mar 31 14:03:40 <muthu> can't wait for the SDK release tomorrow.. i'm eager the see the NEW feature coming in
Mar 31 14:22:16 <benley> is it a pony?
Mar 31 14:22:50 <B0jangles> OMG! PONIES!
Mar 31 14:23:29 <cutmasta> löl
Mar 31 14:29:00 <bilboed> what kind of new features are coming in ?
Mar 31 14:29:13 <B0jangles> wheels
Mar 31 14:29:22 <muthu> ok back again
Mar 31 14:29:31 <bilboed> onies on a boat
Mar 31 14:29:47 <muthu> we are hearing rumors..its going to be FLASH
Mar 31 14:29:56 <bilboed> OH NO
Mar 31 14:29:58 <bilboed> please
Mar 31 14:30:15 <muthu> its not going to happen so soon .. i know
Mar 31 14:30:30 <bilboed> if some random company (adobe?) wants to port flash on it, fine
Mar 31 14:30:42 <bilboed> but putting it as a default component... fsck me !
Mar 31 14:31:06 <muthu> i don't believe the flash thing
Mar 31 14:31:21 <bilboed> there's already a not-open not-framework not-known multimedia handling library
Mar 31 14:31:24 <bilboed> that's enough
Mar 31 14:31:38 <muthu> lol
Mar 31 14:31:39 <B0jangles> I still don't understand why the iPhone doesn't have Flash
Mar 31 14:31:52 <B0jangles> How hard can it be to port a Safari plugin from OSX to OSX
Mar 31 14:32:20 <bilboed> B0jangles, they might come up with the excuse that it's not the same cpu
Mar 31 14:32:33 <bilboed> B0jangles, but then there are ARM11 flash plugins (see Nokia NXXX)
Mar 31 14:33:51 <muthu> its not a technical issue
Mar 31 14:34:28 <bilboed> right, it's politics
Mar 31 14:34:44 <muthu> flash is coming soon on iphone
Mar 31 14:35:24 <bilboed> might as well say that voip is coming soon on the iphone (p.s. not possible unless you flash the baseband rom)
Mar 31 14:36:35 <muthu> iphone can't turn everyone off.. java, flash etc.,
Mar 31 14:37:16 <bilboed> oh, don't get me wrong, it's a SLICK device
Mar 31 14:37:23 <bilboed> it's just a shame that everything being sucks so much
Mar 31 14:37:43 <bilboed> as opposed to the Nokia NXXX, which has awesome hardware/framework but shitty UI/apps
Mar 31 14:38:27 <muthu> the devices are going to be a level playing game
Mar 31 14:38:57 <bilboed> well hopefully Android is going to level the UI-game
Mar 31 14:39:06 <muthu> yeah.. that's what counts
Mar 31 14:39:16 <muthu> for developers we care about writing apps that people can use
Mar 31 14:39:29 <muthu> in as much phones as possible
Mar 31 14:39:30 <bilboed> and as a user you want usable apps :)
Mar 31 14:39:39 <muthu> true.. you have the choice
Mar 31 14:39:50 <bilboed> so ... seriously, how does one mount the yaffs2 system.img on a linux desktop ?
Mar 31 14:39:54 <bilboed> got yaffs2 module
Mar 31 14:39:58 <bilboed> and it's just being stupid
Mar 31 15:14:53 <muthu> Another one due from google? http://happylaughing.blogspot.com/2007/03/how-google-is-going-fool-every-on-this.html
Mar 31 15:18:18 <benley> we're going to rickroll everybody on earth.
Mar 31 15:27:44 <morrildl> That would be a pretty amusing easter egg in the devices
Mar 31 15:28:02 <morrildl> every 1,000th YouTube access automatically redirects to rickroll
Mar 31 15:28:05 <morrildl> ;)
Mar 31 15:31:22 <benley> there was a proposal to rickroll everyone who clicks the I'm Feeling Lucky button.
Mar 31 15:54:18 <iowahc> hy there, i am stuck at the tutorial for android apps
Mar 31 15:54:21 <iowahc> The method addId(long) is undefined for the type Uri
Mar 31 19:10:33 <jasonlee> any developer advocates around?
Mar 31 19:15:58 <pek> Hi
Mar 31 19:16:54 <pek> i´m writting a server-client activity to android, but i have some troubles with connect on web-ips
Mar 31 19:17:38 <pek> for instance, i can connect in my server by his internal ip (192.168.0.1), but i can´t do this with his external ip, (200....)
Mar 31 19:17:50 <pek> any1 here have some idea what is happen?
Mar 31 19:19:01 <pek> well, i ll stay here, thx for your time, and sry my poor english :/
Mar 31 19:41:00 <zhobbs> romainguy: how was your trip?  dan said you took off out of country
Mar 31 19:41:49 <romainguy_> zhobbs: I had to go back home for the funerals of my little brother
Mar 31 19:42:14 <zhobbs> romainguy_: my condolences...very sorry
Mar 31 19:42:21 <B0jangles> sorry to hear that romainguy
Mar 31 19:42:35 <romainguy_> Thanks
Mar 31 19:47:59 <muthu> my deepest condolence romain
Mar 31 19:48:47 <muthu> good to see you back romainguy
Mar 31 21:06:12 <f00f-> my condolences romain
Mar 31 21:25:51 <B0jangles> does anybody know if there's a way to use the Google Maps API to return the distance between two GPS points?
Mar 31 21:26:11 <B0jangles> I have a formula, but it it's always off by a fairly high number of miles...
Mar 31 21:26:28 <B0jangles> 3963.0 * arccos[sin(lat1) *  sin(lat2) + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * cos(lon2 - lon1)]
Mar 31 21:27:09 <B0jangles> it's close enough, I suppose, but it would be nice to just be able to query Google
Mar 31 21:27:50 <zhobbs> B0jangles: you want just raw distance or driving distance?
Mar 31 21:28:03 <B0jangles> preferably raw distance
Mar 31 21:28:18 <B0jangles> hmmm...maybe that's why my calculations look off
Mar 31 21:28:26 <B0jangles> Google Maps is giving driving distance, isn't it...
Mar 31 21:28:55 <B0jangles> maybe my formula is okay
Mar 31 21:29:06 <zhobbs> yeah, google maps is driving distance
Mar 31 21:30:53 <B0jangles> is there some way to confirm the raw distance between two points?
Mar 31 21:31:00 <B0jangles> just to check my data?
Mar 31 21:31:15 <B0jangles> not in android, necessarily, just a web page or something...
Mar 31 21:31:31 <zhobbs> google earth has a measuring tool
Mar 31 21:31:44 <B0jangles> ah! I have Google Earth
Mar 31 21:31:50 <B0jangles> I'll try that
Mar 31 21:31:53 <B0jangles> thanks
Mar 31 21:36:12 <B0jangles> hmm...nope, my calculations are still off. Off by a bit less, but still off.
Mar 31 21:36:51 <zhobbs> wonder if google eartch is accounting for curvature
Mar 31 21:37:04 <B0jangles> My formula is supposed to do that too
Mar 31 21:37:05 <zhobbs> I would think so
Mar 31 21:37:14 <B0jangles> hence all of the sin and cos
Mar 31 21:38:05 <zhobbs> B0jangles: are you doing this calculation a lot in your app?  I think there are some warnings about float performance on mobiles
Mar 31 21:38:21 <B0jangles> nope, not at all. Doing it on the server side.
Mar 31 21:38:29 <zhobbs> ah
Mar 31 21:38:40 <B0jangles> but yeah, there's no floating point processor
Mar 31 21:38:44 <B0jangles> so floats are slow
Mar 31 21:43:19 <romainguy_> I'm sure writing a fixed-point cos() is a lot of fun :)
Mar 31 21:43:40 <B0jangles> Heh, I would imagine it wouldn't be ;-)
Mar 31 21:46:40 <romainguy_> B0jangles: That was ironic :)
Mar 31 21:46:46 <romainguy_> or sarcastic
Mar 31 21:46:51 <romainguy_> or whatever the right word is
Mar 31 21:47:29 <B0jangles> Er, sarcastic, I guess. ;-)
Mar 31 21:47:43 <B0jangles> unless there's some hidden irony there that I'm missing...
Mar 31 21:50:36 <B0jangles> hmm...I wonder if I'm just having rounding errors...
Mar 31 22:03:26 <jasta> yawn
Mar 31 22:03:45 <jasta> back from tahoe, ready to start hacking again :)
Mar 31 22:35:56 <f00f-> well android has microdegrees
Mar 31 22:36:21 <f00f-> it's pretty lame that Location's set methods for latitude and longitude don't support microdegree inputs as long's
Mar 31 22:36:44 <f00f-> likewise for getLatitude() etc.
Mar 31 23:16:03 <jasta> yawn
Apr 01 02:19:20 <zhobbs> what's a good way to access a file by it's relative name.  For example if I have the string "../../file.foo" and I know it's relative to file F how can I get a file object for file.foo?
Apr 01 02:20:28 <romainguy> try with new File(parentDir, "../../file.foo")
Apr 01 02:20:50 <romainguy> and to get parent dir you can do something like new File(myFileF).getParent() or something like this
Apr 01 02:21:02 <raidfive> titleText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.username); ... why is titleText null? this is in my onCreate() for my activity
Apr 01 02:21:18 <romainguy> because it does not exist in your layout
Apr 01 02:21:18 <zhobbs> raidfive: is if after you setContentView()?
Apr 01 02:21:24 <zhobbs> is it*
Apr 01 02:21:40 <zhobbs> romainguy: thanks, lemme try that
Apr 01 02:22:13 <jtoy> hi all!
Apr 01 02:22:17 <raidfive> oh I figured it out ... stupid bug
Apr 01 02:23:19 <zhobbs> hi jtoy
Apr 01 02:26:23 <zhobbs> romainguy:  target.getAbsolutePath() is returning "/path1/path2/../file.ext" :    File target = new File(f.getParent(), path);
Apr 01 02:31:43 <B0jangles> hmm
Apr 01 02:31:57 <B0jangles> hasn't there been a rumor that there will be a release tomorrow with some HUGE feature?
Apr 01 02:32:10 <zhobbs> april fools joke
Apr 01 02:32:12 <zhobbs> :)
Apr 01 02:32:12 <B0jangles> yeah
Apr 01 02:32:15 <B0jangles> I was just thinking that
Apr 01 02:33:03 <B0jangles> I wonder what /. will do for the occasion this year
Apr 01 02:35:18 <romainguy> zhobbs: that will work
Apr 01 02:36:14 <zhobbs> romainguy: ok, I need to find a way to normalize the path name because I have to compare it to a field in a database
Apr 01 02:36:30 <romainguy> I wrote a piece of code to do this a long time ago
Apr 01 02:36:32 <romainguy> it was annoying :)
Apr 01 02:36:40 <zhobbs> hehe
Apr 01 02:37:50 <raidfive> has anyone used Geocoder.getFromLocationName() before?
Apr 01 02:38:44 <B0jangles> I think I've tried it
Apr 01 02:38:56 <B0jangles> that's the reverse geocoder thing right?
Apr 01 02:39:02 <B0jangles> it just throws an exception
Apr 01 02:39:22 <B0jangles> null pointer, if I remember correctly
Apr 01 02:40:03 <B0jangles> Oh, I'm thinking of getFromLocation
Apr 01 02:40:07 <B0jangles> I submitted a bug report: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=462&q=getfromlocation&colspec=ID%20Type%20Version%20Security%20Status%20Owner%20Summary
Apr 01 02:41:10 <B0jangles> the end
Apr 01 02:41:45 <raidfive> yea I'm using the method where you actually plug in an address and it supposedly returns an array of addresses around this address
Apr 01 02:42:07 <B0jangles> okay
Apr 01 02:42:07 <raidfive> but all I really want to do is get the lat/lon for a supplied address
Apr 01 02:42:18 <B0jangles> I think that's getFromLocation
Apr 01 02:42:22 <B0jangles> It doesn't work
Apr 01 02:42:30 <B0jangles> Most of the geocoder stuff doesn't work
Apr 01 02:42:39 <raidfive> getFromLocation() takes two doubles as arguments ... so that isn't it
Apr 01 02:42:51 <B0jangles> oh yeah, you're right
Apr 01 02:42:56 <B0jangles> still doesn't work
Apr 01 02:43:00 <raidfive> :)
Apr 01 02:43:25 <raidfive> the arguments for getFromLocationName() don't really make sense for what I want
Apr 01 02:43:33 <raidfive> etFromLocationName(String locationName, double centerLatitude, double centerLongitude, double latitudeSpan, double longitudeSpan)
Apr 01 02:44:42 <raidfive> for those lat/lon values, I guess I could have it just span the entire globe and the first Address result in the array should be the most accurate
Apr 01 02:44:49 <raidfive> getFromLocationName("Vancouver, WA", -90.0, -180.0, 180.0, 360.0);
Apr 01 02:44:52 <raidfive> does that look reasonable?
Apr 01 02:44:57 <zhobbs> romainguy: ahh, found File.getCanonicalPath() ...it does it for you
Apr 01 02:46:52 <B0jangles> you just want lat/lon for an address?
Apr 01 02:48:03 <raidfive> yea
Apr 01 02:49:19 <raidfive> just came across an example:
Apr 01 02:49:19 <raidfive> getFromBusinessName("Zachary's Chicago Pizza",
Apr 01 02:49:19 <raidfive>                                       0.0, 0.0, 180.0, 360.0);
Apr 01 02:49:32 <raidfive> seems similar to what I was trying to do
