**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jan 04 02:59:57 2009
Jan 04 03:38:17 <bherrmann> How do I kill an app running on the phone?
Jan 04 03:54:28 <savid> how do I grab the release-1.0 tag w/ git?  I'm not familiar w/ git (I've only used svn before)?
Jan 04 03:54:55 <savid> or would I use repo for that
Jan 04 04:09:09 <morrildl> bherrmann: why are you trying to kill it?
Jan 04 04:09:45 <morrildl> savid: You should probably ask that one over on #android, #android-dev here is for app development, rather than platform stuff
Jan 04 04:16:27 <savid> morrildl,  thanks.  I actually figured it out :)    repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b release-1.0
Jan 04 04:16:34 <savid> (at least I think I did)
Jan 04 04:17:52 <savid> anyways,  I'm not developing on platform stuff,  but wanted the source from that ver. to help me figure out some inconsistencies between the latest source and 1.0 sdk.
Jan 04 05:24:52 <DarkriftX> anyone in here know how to make an android service that can run a .sh script once a day?
Jan 04 05:27:05 <ttuttle> Anyone seen SanMehat lately?
Jan 04 05:27:34 <TiberiumX> I think you want to set something up with AlarmManager.  I believe you can run the script with Runtime.exec
Jan 04 05:28:02 <DarkriftX> someone showed yesterday that an android app can run a .sh script, but i was wondering if it can be done with a service
Jan 04 05:28:15 <DarkriftX> and i have no idea how, i dont do any programming :(
Jan 04 05:28:21 <TiberiumX> I don't see why you couldn't use that in either.
Jan 04 05:28:38 <DarkriftX> i wrote a .sh script to check and download the latest JF update and tested it, it seems to work great. i just need a way for it to be automated
Jan 04 05:29:20 <TiberiumX> Sounds like it's time to learn Java.
Jan 04 05:29:51 <DarkriftX> or find someone who is bored who can spare 5 minutes of their life to write it
Jan 04 05:30:14 <TiberiumX> It just downloads it and saves it as /sdcard/update.zip?
Jan 04 05:30:19 <DarkriftX> no
Jan 04 05:30:33 <DarkriftX> then it adds a command for the recovery to auto apply it
Jan 04 05:30:49 <DarkriftX> erm, xchat messed that up
Jan 04 05:30:56 <DarkriftX> it was "no, /cache/filename.zip"
Jan 04 05:31:07 <TiberiumX> Cool.  How do you do that?
Jan 04 05:31:34 <DarkriftX> 		echo "--update_package=CACHE:$jfile" > /cache/recovery/command
Jan 04 05:32:15 <DarkriftX> i just ran it to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.31 and it ran perfectly
Jan 04 05:32:24 <TiberiumX> And I assume /cache/recovery/command gets rewritten as part of the update??
Jan 04 05:32:26 <DarkriftX> next version will have an auto reboot
Jan 04 05:32:40 <DarkriftX> yeah, seems to be erased after the update
Jan 04 05:32:48 <DarkriftX> and /cache also seems to get cleared
Jan 04 05:34:25 <DarkriftX> lemme reupload and refresh the script on my forum and ill let you see it
Jan 04 13:33:57 <zeroxten> correct me if i'm wrong but long 1231027200992 - 1000*60*60*24*30 != 1232730168288 right? it should be 1228435200992
Jan 04 13:45:19 <haakjes> my bc -l agrees
Jan 04 13:45:43 <haakjes> but would any of these numbers fit in a long?
Jan 04 13:51:14 <gcinzh> Is this valid:
Jan 04 13:51:15 <gcinzh> static final int SCAN_COMPLETE = 0;
Jan 04 13:51:22 <gcinzh> IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
Jan 04 13:51:38 <gcinzh> IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
Jan 04 13:51:48 <gcinzh> yargh. cut 'n paste issues. one mo
Jan 04 13:51:54 <gcinzh> i.addAction (WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
Jan 04 13:52:00 <gcinzh> Intent bcreceiver_intent = registerReceiver(bcreceiver, i);
Jan 04 13:52:00 <Falcon4ever> pastebin ftw
Jan 04 13:52:00 <Falcon4ever> :D
Jan 04 13:52:09 <gcinzh> startActivityForResult(bcreceiver_intent, SCAN_COMPLETE);
Jan 04 13:52:15 <gcinzh> that last line I suspect may not be what I want
Jan 04 13:52:34 <gcinzh> basically, I want to know when my bcreceiver was called, so I can use the data it acquired
Jan 04 13:53:39 <gcinzh> rather, I want to be notified *AFTER* my bcreceiver has completed so I can access its list variable
Jan 04 14:10:21 <zeroxten> haakjes, should be, i'm subtracting from an epoch long
Jan 04 14:12:00 <haakjes> zeroxten: isn't it a double? or is this something java specific?
Jan 04 14:12:05 <haakjes> a long is only 32 bits
Jan 04 14:12:19 <haakjes> er 31 if it is signed
Jan 04 14:12:23 <haakjes> *or
Jan 04 14:12:53 <zeroxten> well, according to the android date docs, getTime() returns a long
Jan 04 14:28:13 <zeroxten> brb, off to the tower of london
Jan 04 14:28:30 <zeroxten> well, right back probably isn't quite true... bbiaw
Jan 04 14:35:17 <digitalspaghetti> ok, so far i've only followed java examples of code
Jan 04 14:35:38 <digitalspaghetti> in my app, I have the XML view with 2 buttons, one a login and one exit - how do i add event listners to them?
Jan 04 14:37:34 <digitalspaghetti> nm, think i may have found what i was looking for
Jan 04 14:37:50 <marklar> setonClickListener()?
Jan 04 14:38:39 <gcinzh> Anyone here able to tell me how I can be notified in my main program (where I set a RegisterListener), when the target was called ?
Jan 04 14:39:09 <digitalspaghetti> but i also need to do this.findViewById(R.id.button);
Jan 04 14:39:13 <gcinzh> ie, I do stuff in my onReceive(). and need to make that available to its parent
Jan 04 14:41:55 <marklar> digitalspaghetti: yes, you need to do that to find the view which you are calling setOnClickListener() for
Jan 04 14:57:21 <digitalspaghetti> any idea why line 16 & 17 cause a NullPointerException?  http://paste.ifies.org/208
Jan 04 14:57:28 <digitalspaghetti> sorry my java sucks
Jan 04 14:59:52 <digitalspaghetti> app loads fine without me adding the event listner, but i've confirmed R.id.button_exit is in the R.java file
Jan 04 15:03:10 <marklar> Are you sure that button_exit exists in layout.loginscreen?
Jan 04 15:03:30 <digitalspaghetti> yup
Jan 04 15:04:32 <marklar> What is throwing the nullPointerException?
Jan 04 15:04:43 <digitalspaghetti> http://paste.ifies.org/209
Jan 04 15:04:57 <digitalspaghetti> 2 secs i'll fire up debugging again
Jan 04 15:07:23 <digitalspaghetti> the errors message is null
Jan 04 15:08:01 <marklar> did you step through it to see exactly where it is being thrown?
Jan 04 15:08:38 <marklar> I'd try that, I'm not that great with Java so I don't know anything else to recommend :)
Jan 04 15:13:28 <Falcon4ever> isnt it R.layout.button_exit ?
Jan 04 15:14:29 <digitalspaghetti> no, it;s has been given an ID, so that becomes accessable via R.id
Jan 04 15:14:34 <Falcon4ever> hmm sec
Jan 04 15:15:28 <marklar> is implementing OnClickListener like that valid? I have no idea, I've been doing setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {});
Jan 04 15:16:14 <Falcon4ever> dunno
Jan 04 15:16:18 <Falcon4ever> but i do it differently
Jan 04 15:16:28 <Falcon4ever> (btw my fault R.id.buttonname is ok)
Jan 04 15:17:46 <Falcon4ever> http://paste.ifies.org/210
Jan 04 15:18:38 <marklar> yup, thats how I've been doing it
Jan 04 15:19:32 <Falcon4ever> why did you add implements View.OnClickListener
Jan 04 15:19:45 <Falcon4ever> mine is just public class connect extends Activity {
Jan 04 15:28:29 <digitalspaghetti> i was following http://code.google.com/android/samples/NotePad/src/com/example/android/notepad/TitleEditor.html
Jan 04 15:29:42 <marklar> I would assume its valid then :)
Jan 04 15:35:36 <digitalspaghetti> hrrm tried it your way too
Jan 04 15:35:41 <digitalspaghetti> must be something with my resource
Jan 04 15:38:21 <Falcon4ever> maybe
Jan 04 15:38:36 <Falcon4ever> R.java sometimes gets messed up for some reason here :/
Jan 04 15:39:37 <marklar> I also set the id of my resources using android:id="@+"... not sure if there is a difference between that and just id=
Jan 04 15:39:43 <digitalspaghetti> yea, i notice eclipse likes to include it
Jan 04 15:49:39 <digitalspaghetti> android:id seems to fix it
Jan 04 15:49:41 <digitalspaghetti> thanks
Jan 04 15:49:51 <digitalspaghetti> google really needs to update their examples :|
Jan 04 17:54:11 <unasi7> duds. any idea how i get a custom Object from one intent to another? puExtra / Serialize could not be the way?!
Jan 04 18:01:01 <Falcon4ever> whats wrong with putextra?
Jan 04 18:01:13 <Falcon4ever> oh you mean an object instead of a value?
Jan 04 18:02:22 <unasi7> Falcon4ever yes... an Object
Jan 04 18:02:45 <unasi7> i need to send some custom objects to my ongoing intent
Jan 04 18:04:26 <Falcon4ever> hmm
Jan 04 18:04:32 <Falcon4ever> are you using a bg service?
Jan 04 18:06:09 <unasi7> no..
Jan 04 18:06:22 <unasi7> but now im trying it to hold the object in a custom static singelton class
Jan 04 18:06:24 <unasi7> maybe it will work
Jan 04 18:23:03 <gcinzh> if I have a LinearLayout that has two <ListView> children, how can I populate each of those Lists and display both concurrently ?
Jan 04 18:24:21 <gcinzh> (eg, each as a pulldown)
Jan 04 18:35:44 <marklar> Are you sure you want ListView and not Spinner?
Jan 04 18:41:48 <digitalspaghetti> where can i find org.apache.commons.httpclient ?
Jan 04 18:42:39 <digitalspaghetti> android only seems to have the logging library
Jan 04 18:43:04 <gcinzh> marklar: no, I honestly have no idea :-) ... but either way, how do I populate two different views on a single screen (I have setup my XML, I think, and need to reference them by id afaik?)
Jan 04 18:44:03 <gcinzh> I have used LinearLayout, and within that: ListView, ListView, LinearLayout (for a button at the bottom)
Jan 04 18:52:59 <marklar> thats the general over view... create xml, setContentView() with the reference to the xml file, then use findViewById() to find individual views within the layout
Jan 04 18:53:23 <marklar> Spinner is a drop down list of sorts, listview is more for a list thats always visible
Jan 04 18:53:39 <gcinzh> ok
Jan 04 18:53:46 <marklar> afaik :)
Jan 04 18:53:48 <gcinzh> Spinner == a single list item visible at a time ?
Jan 04 18:54:00 <gcinzh> like a dropdown ?
Jan 04 18:54:12 <marklar> yes, and when you click on it it opens a larger list to select from, once you select back to a single itme
Jan 04 18:54:16 <marklar> just like on a webpage
Jan 04 18:54:17 <gcinzh> *nod*
Jan 04 18:54:46 <marklar> I don't think its recommended to have more than one listview in an activity, but I can't remember where I read that
Jan 04 18:54:54 <gcinzh> so, I SetContentView to my whole display (eg, the top-level LinearLayout) ...
Jan 04 18:55:15 <gcinzh> how do I bind an array to a specific list or spinner then ?
Jan 04 18:55:43 <marklar> Spinner s = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.<your spinner id>)
Jan 04 18:55:55 <marklar> is how to get the reference for an individual spinner
Jan 04 18:56:23 <marklar> then use an array adapter along with s.setAdapter(<array adapter>)
Jan 04 18:57:03 <marklar> I think they did it in one of the examples, the notepad one maybe?
Jan 04 18:57:03 <gcinzh> hmmm. lemem try that - thank you
Jan 04 18:57:07 <marklar> np
Jan 04 19:02:19 <gcinzh> Spinner profile = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.profile); <-- causes a "java.lang.NullPointerException"
Jan 04 19:02:23 <gcinzh> my XML contains:
Jan 04 19:02:38 <gcinzh> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/profile" ....
Jan 04 19:03:02 <gcinzh> Is there something inherently broken with that ?
Jan 04 19:04:10 <romainguy> yes
Jan 04 19:04:19 <romainguy> the "profie" View is a LinearLayout
Jan 04 19:04:21 <gcinzh> g'mornin' squire
Jan 04 19:04:26 <romainguy> and you are casting it to a Spinner
Jan 04 19:04:39 <romainguy> also make sure you do the findViewById *after* setContentView
Jan 04 19:04:39 <gcinzh> ah.
Jan 04 19:04:44 * gcinzh changes it to Spinner
Jan 04 19:04:56 * gcinzh has another Q for romainguy, based on our musings earlier ...
Jan 04 19:05:23 <gcinzh> You said I should call  startActivityForResult() to get the return value of an intent
Jan 04 19:05:46 <zeroxten> o/
Jan 04 19:05:52 <gcinzh> but I cannot do that when the intent is called by a registerReceiver
Jan 04 19:07:11 <gcinzh> ie. I set a registerReceiver for wifi scan complete;  I start a wifi scan; I display stuff to screen in a TextView; *only* if and when the broadcast listener is called, do I want to continue to another intent (display list of SSIDs)
Jan 04 19:07:32 <gcinzh> I haven't figured out how to launch when it's called, and I cannot fire an intent from a broadcastListener
Jan 04 19:09:06 <romainguy> you can call startActivity() from the BroadcastReceiver
Jan 04 19:09:26 <romainguy> in onReceive() you get a Context parameter
Jan 04 19:09:33 <romainguy> just call context.startActivity(myintent)
Jan 04 19:09:39 <gcinzh> hmmm. that would be awesome!
Jan 04 19:09:41 <gcinzh> will try
Jan 04 19:09:50 <gcinzh> but first - need to resolve my View issue ...
Jan 04 19:10:06 <romainguy> Context is the central class to pretty much everything in Android
Jan 04 19:12:50 <gcinzh> Do all components of a layout have to be populated (or at least addressed) ?
Jan 04 19:13:40 <gcinzh> ie, if I have <LinearLayout><Spinner /><ListView /><LinearLayout /></LinearLayout>    and I bind something only to Spinner, can I still view it ?
Jan 04 19:19:04 <zeroxten> right, back to my long problem
Jan 04 19:28:24 * gcinzh does a dance of joy
Jan 04 19:28:40 <gcinzh> (shortlived, though it no doubt will be ... but gotta take what I can get ;) )
Jan 04 19:32:58 <zeroxten> heh yeah i know what you mean
Jan 04 19:33:32 * zeroxten learns today that in java ints and longs don't play nicely together
Jan 04 19:33:48 * zeroxten blames perl to being too easy
Jan 04 19:33:52 <gcinzh> ehe
Jan 04 19:33:55 <gcinzh> indeed.
Jan 04 19:39:19 <gcinzh> ok, so it's not crashing anymore ( \o/ ), and I've bound lists and so on ... but the screen doesn't show the content. ....
Jan 04 19:40:40 * gcinzh throws in android:visibility="visible" for good measure
Jan 04 19:40:56 <zinx> you adding the content?
Jan 04 19:42:06 <gcinzh> List<String> basiclist = new ArrayList<String>();
Jan 04 19:42:11 <gcinzh> basiclist.add("One");
Jan 04 19:42:16 <gcinzh> setContentView(R.layout.selectssid);
Jan 04 19:42:26 <gcinzh> ssidview = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.ssidlist);
Jan 04 19:42:39 <gcinzh> ssidview.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, basiclist));
Jan 04 19:42:56 <digitalspaghetti> hrmm, i'm getting a weird result in android vm.  im trying to do a soap request to a URL which is there, i can view it in the browser.  But i'm getting a java.net.UnknownHostException
Jan 04 19:43:12 <digitalspaghetti> i have the 3g icon in the vm
Jan 04 19:43:41 <digitalspaghetti> any ideas why?
Jan 04 19:52:06 * gcinzh needs to attend a 1-week Android bootcamp for "non-programmers"
Jan 04 19:52:45 <gcinzh> (for some value of non-programmers .... non-Java-programmers, at least)
Jan 04 19:55:16 <jammr> can anyone recommend a resource for learning to use the accelerometer?
Jan 04 19:57:18 <gcinzh> jammr: first, find a really really tall building ...
Jan 04 19:57:36 <jammr> lol
Jan 04 19:58:05 <gcinzh> (if you want, I have a very very very simple totally useless programmed-by-a-non-programmer class that compiles to output all the sensors' data to a TextView)
Jan 04 19:58:42 <jammr> that would be great
Jan 04 19:59:15 * gcinzh has an aha-moment
Jan 04 19:59:31 <gcinzh> and I don't mean ("Cry Wolf, ooooooooooooooooh, try not to worry")
Jan 04 20:11:31 <gcinzh> It does
Jan 04 20:11:43 <gcinzh> not display ... yarrgghh...
Jan 04 20:55:31 <zeroxten> one of those days gcinzh ?
Jan 04 21:42:57 <gcinzh> zeroxten: nah, it's been ok.  I got another 2 lines of code working. :-/
Jan 04 21:43:35 <gcinzh> (the most frustrating thing is that I'm *SO* slow at development on this thing so far, because I lack all the foundation.  Once that's set, I expect pace to increase considerably)
Jan 04 21:43:58 <gcinzh> It seems I've managed to launch an activity via startActivity(intent), but it has no action ...
Jan 04 21:44:07 <gcinzh> so, the screen is setup but my class isn't really caleld
Jan 04 21:44:10 <gcinzh> *called
Jan 04 21:52:18 <gcinzh> Just to be clear:
Jan 04 21:52:24 <gcinzh> Intent DisplaySSIDList = new Intent(c, SelectSSID.class);
Jan 04 21:52:28 <gcinzh> c.startActivity(DisplaySSIDList);
Jan 04 21:53:26 <gcinzh> .... (from within "public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i)") should call SelectSSID.onCreate() ... right ?
Jan 04 21:59:18 <gcinzh> Anyone ?
Jan 04 21:59:29 <gcinzh> hi xtt
Jan 04 22:08:46 <savid> So I'm noticing not everything in the android source code is available in the SDK.   For example,  android.Location.LocationManager,registerGpsStatusListener()  is not available in the SDK.  Why is that?
Jan 04 22:13:07 <romainguy> because it's not a public API
Jan 04 22:13:18 <romainguy> and also because some of the APIs might be new in cupcake
Jan 04 22:19:01 <savid> romainguy,   this was in the release-1.0 branch
Jan 04 22:19:11 <romainguy> then it's a non-public API
Jan 04 22:20:56 <savid> romainguy.  please excuse my newbieness :)    but how do I tell when looking at the source code what's public and what's not public?  the methods are declared as public, so I guess that's why I'm confused.
Jan 04 22:21:39 <romainguy> they're not public if there's a @hide or {@hide} tag in the javadoc of the class/package/method
Jan 04 22:22:01 <savid> ahh, I see.  thanks :)
Jan 04 22:25:21 * gcinzh found out he didn't @Override his onCreate() ... so now has a new problem:
Jan 04 22:25:53 <gcinzh> java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{net.colmans.android.whisper/net.colmans.android.whisper.SelectSSID}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'
Jan 04 22:27:13 <gcinzh> static public List<String> ssidlist = new ArrayList<String>();
Jan 04 22:27:14 <gcinzh> ListView ssidview;
Jan 04 22:27:14 <gcinzh> ssidlist.add("Three");
Jan 04 22:27:14 <gcinzh> ssidview = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.ssidlist);
Jan 04 22:27:14 <gcinzh> ssidview.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, ssidlist));
Jan 04 22:27:28 <gcinzh> ..... and in my res/layout/...xml:
Jan 04 22:27:28 <gcinzh> <ListView android:id="@+id/ssidlist"
Jan 04 22:27:28 <gcinzh> android:layout_width="fill_parent"
Jan 04 22:27:28 <gcinzh> android:layout_height="wrap_content"
Jan 04 22:27:28 <gcinzh> android:layout_weight="1"
Jan 04 22:27:30 <gcinzh>    />
Jan 04 22:27:38 <CompBrain> gcinzh: pastebin?
Jan 04 22:27:45 <gcinzh> CompBrain: wilco.
Jan 04 22:28:47 <gcinzh> http://pastebin.com/d7aa0ae95  for the layout xml
Jan 04 22:30:26 <romainguy> gcinzh: you are using a Listactivity, your list must have the id @android:id/list
Jan 04 22:30:30 <gcinzh> http://pastebin.com/d5b1c57ae for my dodgy code
Jan 04 22:30:51 <gcinzh> what if I have two lists - and want to reference both from the same class .... ?
Jan 04 22:31:06 <romainguy> one has to be called @android:id/list
Jan 04 22:31:11 <romainguy> but ONLY if you use a ListActivity
Jan 04 22:31:15 <romainguy> you don't have to use a ListActivity
Jan 04 22:31:27 <romainguy> (and using two ListView on the same screen is not a great idea imo)
Jan 04 22:32:03 <gcinzh> yeah, I switched one to a spinner after I learned about it ... but was curious.
Jan 04 22:34:22 <gcinzh> romain: I changed the id to "@android:id/list", saved the layout XML, and now if I try autocompletion of R.id.    it doesn't show it
Jan 04 22:34:37 <gcinzh> so what would I use then, in findViewById  ?
Jan 04 22:34:43 <romainguy> android.R.id
Jan 04 22:35:19 <gcinzh> but the screen layout would still use my ListView params, right ?
Jan 04 22:35:25 <romainguy> yes
Jan 04 22:35:29 <gcinzh> interesting ...
Jan 04 22:36:22 <gcinzh> seriously, if y'all weren't here I'd still be on Hello World! (and only in a TextView)
Jan 04 22:36:25 <gcinzh> it works!
Jan 04 22:36:48 <gcinzh> superb - thanks!
Jan 04 22:37:56 <gcinzh> next - how to bundle data using putExtra ... (else I can just refudge it as a String[])...
Jan 04 22:38:03 <gcinzh> but that's an exercise for tomorrow night.
Jan 04 22:38:05 <gcinzh> Thank you again
Jan 04 22:58:35 <gcinzh> Yay. Got passing data working now too.
Jan 04 22:58:48 <gcinzh> I really cannot afford another 03h30 morning, but it's so darn exciting ;-)
Jan 04 23:03:54 <digitalspaghetti> yea, i think i need to get to bed soon
Jan 04 23:04:02 <digitalspaghetti> it's maybe a blessing my client's API is down
Jan 05 00:40:44 <gcinzh> Right. Really going to sleep now :D
Jan 05 00:40:58 * gcinzh is finally happy with the progress that he's making ...
Jan 05 01:35:42 <gcinzh> What's the accepted way to indicate a selection in a ListView -- do I need to set the background colour of the cell, myself ?
Jan 05 01:35:57 <gcinzh> (assuming I don't want it immediately to jump to another activity)
Jan 05 01:36:22 <gcinzh> (I couldn't find an example of selection persistence in the examples)
Jan 05 01:42:33 <romainguy> nope
Jan 05 01:42:36 <romainguy> there's nothing to do
Jan 05 01:42:52 <romainguy> and if you want to persist selection (which we rarely do) you can use the choice mode API in ListView
Jan 05 01:43:10 <savid> Is it possible in eclipse to disable "unused variable" warnings for a specific variable (ie,  TAG)?
Jan 05 01:43:40 <romainguy> yes
Jan 05 01:43:44 <romainguy> press Ctrl+1
Jan 05 01:43:51 <romainguy> on the said variable
Jan 05 01:43:58 <romainguy> and it should let you suppress the warning for the statement
Jan 05 01:44:01 <savid> heh, cool :)
Jan 05 01:44:06 <romainguy> it will add an @SuppressWarning annotation
Jan 05 01:44:36 <gcinzh> romain: just found simple_list_item_checked layout ...
Jan 05 01:44:44 <gcinzh> I'll go through the different layout options
Jan 05 01:45:17 <gcinzh> romain: I had already set ssidview.setChoiceMode(ssidview.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
Jan 05 01:46:04 <romainguy> check out the ApiDemos
Jan 05 01:46:45 <gcinzh> I did ... has lots of list stuff ... but nothing (afaics) that shows a list with a persistent single selection
Jan 05 01:47:45 <gcinzh> I kinda just need to go through every single layout option one by one to see how it behaves
Jan 05 01:49:35 * gcinzh sees the time and gets nervous ... ok - gotta be up in 5 hours ... time to go :-o
Jan 05 02:06:47 <romainguy> gcinzh: there is an example of single selection
Jan 05 02:06:52 <romainguy> at least if I remember correctly
Jan 05 02:06:59 <romainguy> anyway, the choice mode single is the way to go
Jan 05 02:07:04 <romainguy> you just need to use the appropriate layout
Jan 05 02:07:25 <romainguy> and android.R.layout.simple_list_item_checked is a good one
Jan 05 02:12:13 <gcinzh> that's what I did ;-)
Jan 05 02:12:22 <gcinzh> although since it's 3:12am I'm not really here answering you
Jan 05 02:12:43 <gcinzh> (actually, I'm trying to find the layout rule to center a button, *THEN* I'm done)
Jan 05 02:12:59 <gcinzh> android:layout_centerInParent="true"    doesn't seem to be as effective as I'd hoped
Jan 05 02:13:16 <gcinzh> (parent is a horizontal LinearLayout)
Jan 05 02:14:42 <marklar> centerInParent is for relativelayouts I think, try android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
Jan 05 02:15:24 <gcinzh> ah.
Jan 05 02:15:25 <gcinzh> center_horizontal.
Jan 05 02:15:29 <gcinzh> I tried only "center" earlier
Jan 05 02:15:58 <gcinzh> Nope.
Jan 05 02:16:47 <gcinzh> but doing that in the LinearLayout works
Jan 05 02:16:55 <gcinzh> (as opposed to in the Button definition)
Jan 05 02:17:04 <gcinzh> Many thanks!  and now I'm really off to bed.
