Jul 11 05:48:15 <jcontra> hey everyone
Jul 11 06:01:47 <martin__> is it possible to refresh a PreferenceActivity manually? It doesnt seem to update when the preference that an item inside it's value changes in code
Jul 11 06:02:10 <martin__> *of an item inside it
Jul 11 06:02:52 <martin__> though it has updated when I exit and re-open the app
Jul 11 06:33:59 <johnnyzen> hi all, can anyone help me with line 15 and 17 with this: http://pastebin.com/d6095b88e - I guess its context, and am still trying to understand
Jul 11 08:12:56 <johnnyzen> can anyone help with a context question ?
Jul 11 11:07:04 <johnnyzen> could anyone help me with line 18 of http://pastebin.com/d237adbd0 - think I need to find the right context, but unsure how to do it ?
Jul 11 11:07:58 <Rexxars> getApplicationContext() ?
Jul 11 11:10:11 <johnnyzen> hi Rexxars: thanks, tried that, but getting error due to the class being static.
Jul 11 11:10:59 <johnnyzen> its saying cannot make static ref. to a non-static method
Jul 11 11:12:34 <Rexxars> that makes sense
Jul 11 11:13:33 <johnnyzen> how would I get round it , any ideas ?
Jul 11 11:15:10 <Rexxars> set the context to a static variable? a little ugly, but.. should work.. :p
Jul 11 11:16:47 <johnnyzen> Rexxars, sorry how would I do that ?
Jul 11 11:17:32 <Rexxars> public static Context whateverContext; then set that variable in your oncreate method and hope for the best ;)
Jul 11 11:22:49 <johnnyzen> hmmm still having issues with static and non-static
Jul 11 11:23:23 <johnnyzen> basically, I need to delete a row from the listview, as far as I know, I can only refresh the listview hence line 17
Jul 11 13:32:58 <Matt__> hey all
Jul 11 13:34:43 <the_alien> hey Matt__
Jul 11 13:35:45 <Matt__> hows it goin the_alien??
Jul 11 13:36:52 <the_alien> hmmm ill... but still working on my sms widget ;)
Jul 11 13:40:58 <Matt__> ooo that snds kool, will it let you send sms from the widget or is it for something else?
Jul 11 14:29:48 <johnnyzen> could anyone help me with line 18 of http://pastebin.com/d237adbd0 - think I need to find the right context, but unsure how to do it ?
Jul 11 14:38:47 <KNY> johnnyzen, have you gone through examples? Start with ApiDemos and the NotePad tutorial
Jul 11 14:40:41 <johnnyzen> KNY, yes, but information let finding the right context using methods like getContext are found in examples.
Jul 11 14:40:44 <SanMehat> KNY: yo
Jul 11 14:40:52 <KNY> sup, SanMehat ? long time no se
Jul 11 14:40:53 <johnnyzen> *not found in example
Jul 11 14:40:54 <KNY> see, too
Jul 11 14:42:39 <SanMehat> KNY: just been working a lot
Jul 11 14:43:39 <KNY> SanMehat, same
Jul 11 14:44:21 <KNY> any cool shit coming down the pipeline that you can talk about?
Jul 11 14:45:16 <SanMehat> not really :)
Jul 11 14:45:36 <jdavidandroid> Hi all! Do you know where I can find source code or any reference on a project that uses Web requests and allows users to rate and comment retrieved content displayed on a list, such as the one that "Android Market" app or "Funny jokes" app use when you browse or search for specific content?
Jul 11 14:46:05 <KNY> jdavidandroid, sounds like if you found an example that thorough then you wouldn't have any work to do
Jul 11 14:48:23 <jdavidandroid> Certainly, I wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel, I just want to focus in the part that's new and has not been yet implemented.  I just found an OS project Jeffrey Sharkey from Google created and it has helped me a lot
Jul 11 14:49:49 <jdavidandroid> KNY, It doesn't sound that complicated.  Actually there are a lot of projects out there that use this same principle...
Jul 11 14:51:32 <LA_TaiBone> hey, im looking for a method to get the event by using the AbsListview in the onScroll methode
Jul 11 14:51:57 <AndyArmstrong> hiya yall
Jul 11 14:54:33 <AndyArmstrong> hey guys
Jul 11 14:54:46 <AndyArmstrong> does anybody know how to close the software keyboard programatically
Jul 11 14:58:22 <Inselbewohner> hi, yes... i was searching a few days too :)
Jul 11 14:58:47 <AndyArmstrong> yeah
Jul 11 14:58:52 <AndyArmstrong> im trying something atm actually
Jul 11 14:58:56 <AndyArmstrong> will tel u if it works!
Jul 11 14:59:35 <Inselbewohner> yes mom
Jul 11 14:59:39 <Inselbewohner> one moment
Jul 11 14:59:52 <Inselbewohner> i have to read it again :)
Jul 11 15:00:15 <Inselbewohner> textSettingsPasswordEditText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);	
Jul 11 15:00:30 <AndyArmstrong> ??
Jul 11 15:00:38 <Inselbewohner> textSettingsPasswordEditText <- is an EditText Field
Jul 11 15:01:05 <AndyArmstrong> does that work?
Jul 11 15:01:06 <Inselbewohner> / * Settings Password *
Jul 11 15:01:06 <Inselbewohner> 		
Jul 11 15:01:07 <Inselbewohner> 		textSettingsPassword = new TextView(appsDesktop);
Jul 11 15:01:07 <Inselbewohner> 		textSettingsPassword.setLayoutParams(new MyAbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams(280,30,20,securitySettingsY +10));
Jul 11 15:01:08 <Inselbewohner> 		textSettingsPassword.setTextColor(Color.argb(255,255,255,255));
Jul 11 15:01:10 <Inselbewohner> 		textSettingsPassword.setTextSize(20);
Jul 11 15:01:12 <Inselbewohner> 		textSettingsPassword.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
Jul 11 15:01:14 <Inselbewohner> 		textSettingsPassword.setText(appsDesktop.getResources().getString(R.string.settings_settings_password));
Jul 11 15:01:17 <Inselbewohner> 		
Jul 11 15:01:19 <Inselbewohner> 		textSettingsPasswordEditText = new EditText(appsDesktop);
Jul 11 15:01:36 <KNY> pastebin.com
Jul 11 15:01:50 <KNY> pastebin.com next time
Jul 11 15:02:00 <AndyArmstrong> wow lemme test that
Jul 11 15:02:16 <Inselbewohner> ups... to much lines :9
Jul 11 15:02:54 <KNY> Inselbewohner, anything more than 1 is too many.
Jul 11 15:03:10 <Inselbewohner> :) yes, sorry
Jul 11 15:03:24 <AndyArmstrong> Inselbewohner does that work???
Jul 11 15:03:30 <Inselbewohner> yes, i use it
Jul 11 15:03:30 <AndyArmstrong> i cannot get it to hide the keyboard
Jul 11 15:03:34 <AndyArmstrong> so what line is it
Jul 11 15:03:39 <AndyArmstrong> setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE)?
Jul 11 15:03:53 <marklar> I'm sure this has been asked a ton but have the official rules for ADC2 been released?
Jul 11 15:03:53 <Inselbewohner> yes ad the lIstener
Jul 11 15:04:08 <Inselbewohner> textSettingsPasswordEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
Jul 11 15:04:48 <AndyArmstrong> Inselbewohner yes....
Jul 11 15:05:04 <AndyArmstrong> how do i hide the software keyboard Inselbewohner plz be specific and stop pasting code all the time
Jul 11 15:05:26 <Inselbewohner> Its a combination of 2 Lines...
Jul 11 15:05:31 <AndyArmstrong> ok
Jul 11 15:05:34 <Inselbewohner> setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) and
Jul 11 15:05:37 <Inselbewohner> the Listener
Jul 11 15:05:38 <terros> Hi guys. I have a ListView widget with some other widgets for each row. There seems to be a default margin or spacing between the rows (2px). how can i remove this?
Jul 11 15:05:44 <AndyArmstrong> what does the listener do
Jul 11 15:06:07 <jdavidandroid> KNY, this is the OS I was talking about...  http://code.google.com/p/googleio2009/ I was wondering if there is an OS that uses web requests and sallos rating and comments for retrieved contents,( i.e. Android Market app that uses this principle)
Jul 11 15:06:08 <Inselbewohner> the listener react and close the keyboard
Jul 11 15:06:18 <AndyArmstrong> do i need to code the listener?
Jul 11 15:06:22 <Inselbewohner> yes
Jul 11 15:06:27 <AndyArmstrong> well what do i need in it
Jul 11 15:06:32 <AndyArmstrong> plz paste the listener
Jul 11 15:06:44 <Inselbewohner> what you want to do ... or let it empty
Jul 11 15:07:01 <Inselbewohner> textSettingsPasswordEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
Jul 11 15:07:08 <Inselbewohner> public boolean onEditorAction(TextView arg0, int arg1, KeyEvent event) {
Jul 11 15:07:15 <Inselbewohner> if(arg1 == 6) {  // * Wenn IME Editor geschlossen wird, dann URL laden *
Jul 11 15:07:16 <KNY> jdavidandroid, I don't know if you know what an OS is
Jul 11 15:07:22 <Inselbewohner> }	
Jul 11 15:07:27 <Inselbewohner> return false;
Jul 11 15:07:32 <Inselbewohner> }
Jul 11 15:07:37 <Inselbewohner> });
Jul 11 15:07:38 <AndyArmstrong> i just want the keyboard to close...
Jul 11 15:07:53 <Inselbewohner> lol yes... do that and you got it :)
Jul 11 15:08:00 <jdavidandroid> KNY, what do you mean?
Jul 11 15:08:10 <KNY> jdavidandroid, that's an application.
Jul 11 15:09:31 <AndyArmstrong> Inselbewohner but that listener does nothin
Jul 11 15:09:34 <AndyArmstrong> if(arg1 == 6){
Jul 11 15:09:35 <AndyArmstrong> }
Jul 11 15:09:38 <AndyArmstrong> return false
Jul 11 15:09:52 <jdavidandroid> KNY, I am using that source code to explore new possibilities in my application, and it has helped me a lot...
Jul 11 15:10:01 <Inselbewohner> yes... you can do what you want in the if {}
Jul 11 15:10:14 <Inselbewohner> the listener closes the keyboard
Jul 11 15:10:14 <marklar> wait, the market app is open source?
Jul 11 15:10:47 <AndyArmstrong> ......
Jul 11 15:10:59 <AndyArmstrong> ok, so if i wanted to hide the keyboard
Jul 11 15:11:01 <AndyArmstrong> what would i have
Jul 11 15:12:17 <Inselbewohner> ive searched many days to find a command to close the virtual keyboard... but i found only this solution with the listener
Jul 11 15:12:31 <AndyArmstrong> Inselbewohne you are making no sense, my code is as follows
Jul 11 15:12:36 <zinx> why do you want to hide the keyboard?
Jul 11 15:12:47 <terros> No? how can i remove the default space between rows in a ListView?
Jul 11 15:13:20 <Inselbewohner> tinx: after entering a password i want to close the keyboard... but if you press "done" nothing happends
Jul 11 15:13:22 <AndyArmstrong> http://pastebin.com/m52453fc0
Jul 11 15:13:40 <AndyArmstrong> yeah
Jul 11 15:13:44 <AndyArmstrong> i want the keyboard closed too
Jul 11 15:13:47 <Inselbewohner> so i havt to use a IME Listener to close the keyboard
Jul 11 15:13:49 <AndyArmstrong> when i click a button
Jul 11 15:13:57 <AndyArmstrong> insel, what am i doing wrong http://pastebin.com/m52453fc0
Jul 11 15:14:00 <marklar> terros: I don't remember there being any default spacing, how are you creating the layout? XML or java?
Jul 11 15:14:09 <terros> xml
Jul 11 15:14:47 <Inselbewohner> Andy: its looking fine i think
Jul 11 15:14:59 <AndyArmstrong> it doesnt close the keyboard on press...
Jul 11 15:15:20 <Inselbewohner> hmmm...
Jul 11 15:15:59 <Inselbewohner> Do you pressed "Done" at the virtual Keyboard?
Jul 11 15:17:17 <marklar> torres: only thing I can suggest is to set the android:padding to 0
Jul 11 15:17:24 <marklar> thats android : padding
Jul 11 15:17:27 <AndyArmstrong> no
Jul 11 15:17:31 <AndyArmstrong> i press the button done
Jul 11 15:17:35 <marklar> on your list items
Jul 11 15:17:51 <AndyArmstrong> i want the keyboard to disappear when i click a normal button
Jul 11 15:18:11 <Inselbewohner> Andy: this is not possible... i think.
Jul 11 15:18:35 <AndyArmstrong> god dammit
Jul 11 15:18:57 <Inselbewohner> yes, i searched many days to do that to... without a solution
Jul 11 15:19:05 <AndyArmstrong> what a shame
Jul 11 15:19:27 <AndyArmstrong> is there anyway to detect what phone the application is running on , i.e the magic or the previous phone - so i know whether to enable landscape orientation or not
Jul 11 15:20:14 <Inselbewohner> dont know
Jul 11 15:22:08 <terros> no, that doesn't do it
Jul 11 15:22:20 <terros> But, i found something that should heltp
Jul 11 15:22:53 <terros> on the ListView class there is a footerDividerEnabled and headerDividerEneabled which is default true
Jul 11 15:22:57 <LA_TaiBone> hey, can i read the events from the dpad
Jul 11 15:23:09 <terros> also there are some other divider prefs.
Jul 11 15:23:32 <AndyArmstrong>  is there anyway to detect what phone the application is running on , i.e the magic or the previous phone - so i know whether to enable landscape orientation or not
Jul 11 15:24:59 <marklar> terros: huh interesting, I didn't know about those. I would guess the header/footer ones aren't what you are looking for but I really don't know. Good luck :)
Jul 11 15:25:45 <johnnyzen_> can anyone help me find the right context of a method ?
Jul 11 15:26:16 <terros> i solved the problem by setting the android:dividerheight = -2px. Tried 0px, but that didn't have any effect. Anyway, -2px seemed to do the trick :)
Jul 11 15:26:27 <johnnyzen_> http://pastebin.com/m52453fc0 - line 18
Jul 11 15:27:46 <Inselbewohner> Has anyone a solution for an invisible Widget when Orientation is changed?
Jul 11 15:29:20 <marklar> terros: nice!
Jul 11 15:30:38 <johnnyzen_> does anyone know if you can delete a row from the listview ?
Jul 11 15:31:02 <johnnyzen_> and have the view update ?
Jul 11 15:34:51 <AndyArmstrong> yes
Jul 11 15:34:55 <AndyArmstrong> johnnyzen_ u can
Jul 11 15:35:24 <johnnyzen_> Andy: is there a method for it ?
Jul 11 15:35:30 <AndyArmstrong> u change the adapter
Jul 11 15:35:35 <AndyArmstrong> and notifyupdatechange
Jul 11 15:35:45 <johnnyzen_> by using setAdapter ?
Jul 11 15:35:52 <AndyArmstrong> u set adapter once
Jul 11 15:35:56 <AndyArmstrong> then change the adapter
Jul 11 15:35:59 <AndyArmstrong> if u change it
Jul 11 15:36:06 <AndyArmstrong> get the listview to update
Jul 11 15:36:14 <AndyArmstrong> using the .notify i think it is
Jul 11 15:36:16 <AndyArmstrong> or something notify
Jul 11 15:36:19 <AndyArmstrong> cnt quiet remember
Jul 11 15:38:04 <johnnyzen_> ah cool, will have a look for notify
Jul 11 15:39:07 <johnnyzen_> thanks
Jul 11 15:58:25 <johnnyzen_> Andy: think notifyDataSetChanged is the key, but notifyDataSetChanged() doesnt do anything. think I need the right context again :(
Jul 11 16:22:44 <zelrikriando> hello
Jul 11 16:26:25 <johnnyzen_> ok found the right context, and is refreshing getView, but the row is not removed, nor is data updated, so would you call to update the data ?
Jul 11 16:29:22 <zelrikriando> I was wondering how hard it would be to develop a new touch screen keyboard
Jul 11 16:31:04 <russellb> it's basically just a tiny bit harder than "hello world"
Jul 11 16:31:28 <zelrikriando> lol
Jul 11 16:31:40 <zelrikriando> I know how to program in C/C++
Jul 11 16:31:46 <zelrikriando> but I never developed an UI
Jul 11 16:32:29 <zelrikriando> I have some ideas about a new touch screen keyboard design though
Jul 11 16:33:03 <zelrikriando> I just wish I did computing studies
Jul 11 16:36:35 <johnnyzen_> ok, i am sorted :)
Jul 11 16:38:14 <johnnyzen_> can I link to a market app using a new intent ?
Jul 11 16:56:09 <johnnyzen_> no worries sorted
Jul 11 17:05:39 <zelrikriando> Who is good with developing touch screen interfaces :p ?
Jul 11 17:18:12 <KNY> zelrikriando, just ask your question
Jul 11 17:36:14 <newsham> anyone know why when I pull recent kernel/common or kernel/msm there is no arch/arm/mach-goldfish?
Jul 11 17:55:28 <Radzell> can you use java api s in andriod
Jul 11 17:56:41 <cjb> Radzell: some, yes
Jul 11 17:57:43 <KNY> anything that's not GUI-related, basically
Jul 11 18:01:02 <Radzell> has anyone used REST api before
Jul 11 18:01:34 <Radzell> i have a little idea of what it is i think but i'm not sure i'm a c/c++/c# dev
Jul 11 18:02:28 <newsham> when I git clone the kernel/common.git I get android-2.6.27 branch.  It looks like goldfish stuff is in android-goldfish-2.6.29.  How do I clone that branch instead?  (I tried "git checkout android-goldfish-2.6.29" but that didnt work..  I'm somewhat green w/ git yet)
Jul 11 18:51:26 <zelrikriando> KNY: what was my question :p
Jul 11 19:53:13 <johnnyzen> can anyone help to transverse backwards ?
Jul 11 19:56:40 <johnnyzen> sorry think I worded wrong. I need to get the root view for a findViewById which is 3 deep within a static class. can anyone help ?
Jul 11 19:57:16 <johnnyzen> parent.findViewById  is nearly there, just need one more something.parent.findViewById  ?
Jul 11 20:04:54 <johnnyzen> anyone able to help me ?
Jul 11 20:08:05 <Queue29> parent.findViewById(parent.findViewById(..)) ?
Jul 11 20:08:54 <Queue29> oh wait.. nvm
Jul 11 20:15:18 <zelrikriando> hi k4r1m
Jul 11 21:54:31 <localtone> I am looking to make a list that has some dividers (headers) at certain points. Anyone have a suggestion on how to do this. Am not finding anything in the api examples.
Jul 11 21:54:31 <aspekt9> can anyone explain how onTap in itemized overlay receives the index of the item clicked?
Jul 11 22:25:02 <localtone> Is there any easier way than this in 1.5? http://whyandroid.com/android/180-separating-lists-with-headers-in-android-09.html
Jul 11 23:33:55 <aspekt9> does anyone know a successful way to remove items in an itemized overlay?
Jul 12 02:14:03 <maannj> guys, is there any updates on adc2 beside google I/O announcement ?
Jul 12 02:24:45 <KNY> no, to my endless frustration
Jul 12 02:26:40 <maannj> :/
Jul 12 02:26:44 <maannj> :S
