**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 31 02:59:57 2009 Jul 31 03:08:25 How do u declare a drawable bitmap in XML? Jul 31 03:08:35 Titanium mobile is better than phonegap http://www.appcelerator.com/products/titanium-mobile/ Jul 31 03:10:46 So I'm getting this error in my output log (from ADB) when I try to access exchange - W/System.err( 294): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in query at index 134: https://outlook.domain.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync?User=firstname.lastname@domain.com&DeviceId=HTCAnd8945133a&DeviceType=HTC Magic when I try to access my exchange server (using cyanogen on a htc magic) Jul 31 03:11:24 i see what the proble mis really Jul 31 03:11:27 just not sure where to fix it Jul 31 03:12:16 Ah I see it Jul 31 03:12:17 build.prop Jul 31 03:12:50 is there any way to edit a file using adb shell? Jul 31 03:20:24 nano? Jul 31 03:25:25 theacolyte: adb pull and adb push are your best options, really Jul 31 03:25:47 nice Jul 31 03:25:54 I'm just having an issue with ro.product.model Jul 31 03:26:07 I set it from HTC Magic to HTC_Magic - and I can't update Jul 31 03:26:12 tells me incorrect digest Jul 31 03:26:36 weird stuff Jul 31 03:26:39 I haven't googled that one yet Jul 31 03:28:09 what tells you that? Jul 31 03:28:35 jast : HOW ARE YOU Jul 31 03:28:42 boot image Jul 31 03:28:44 jast a: HOW ARE YOU Jul 31 03:28:46 cyanogenmod 1.4 Jul 31 03:28:55 E:Wrong digest: Jul 31 03:28:57 system/build.prop Jul 31 03:33:35 I am cleaning up my app to be released on the market. What's the canonical way to indicate the license under which the code is released? I've stuck cut-and-paste's of the MIT license in my .xml and .java files, but I have .png's. Normally I'd just create a LICENSE and stick it in the top directory, but I wasn't sure if that was the Android Way. Thoughts? Jul 31 03:40:03 Just posted the same question to the "Other Coding-Problems" forum on anddev.org, can't hurt to have extra thoughts. Jul 31 04:03:51 i'm hainv nullpointer exceptions when trying to add elements to an array, and indexoutofbounds exceptions when trying to add to an arraylist. .. i'm using this.list[0] = tmp[1] which contains a string, and this.fileList.add(0, tmp[1]); .. Jul 31 04:04:14 What type is 'this'? Jul 31 04:04:50 a .. umm, an object? Jul 31 04:05:14 this translates into a Remote object Jul 31 04:05:18 If tmp is a String, this.list has to be a String[] right? Jul 31 04:05:26 ahh .. i see what you're asking Jul 31 04:05:37 list is a string and fileList is an arraylist Jul 31 04:05:49 What does "this.list = tmp[1]" do? Jul 31 04:05:50 string[] to be specific Jul 31 04:05:57 (assuming tmp is String[]) Jul 31 04:06:11 Heh. Okay, I'll let you finish. :-) Jul 31 04:06:13 umm .. lemme see Jul 31 04:07:13 type mismatch: cannot convert from String to String[] Jul 31 04:07:32 Yeah. this.list and tmp both have to be String[]'s for your original thing to work. Jul 31 04:09:03 but, no matter where i place my line of code, i get nullpointerexceptions .. even doing something like this.list[0] = "happy"; Jul 31 04:11:40 Wierd. And you're *sure* this.list is String[] ? (Is there typeof() in Java?) Jul 31 04:12:02 static String list[]; Jul 31 04:12:26 not static .. privcte Jul 31 04:12:30 Huh. (I write it String[] list but it shouldn't matter...) Jul 31 04:13:12 from main(), connect.list[0] = "happy" ; throws NPE, Jul 31 04:13:24 but connect.fileList.add(0, "happy"); actually works ... Jul 31 04:13:28 i'm soo lost !! Jul 31 04:13:30 Huh. Jul 31 04:15:11 and now .. for some reason , this.fileList.add(a, this.bug[1]); is working ... Jul 31 04:16:13 Hmm. Jul 31 04:16:18 Go with it. :-) Jul 31 04:16:36 hehe Jul 31 04:19:17 I'm right now trying to remember stupid String crap. The best way to convert "12:34:56.7890" to "12 deg 34 min 56.7890 sec N". I don't normally use Java so it's taking me a while to remember. Jul 31 04:21:54 well .. you could maybe use String tmp[] = holderString.splitt(":", 3), and then System.out.print (tmp[0] + " deg " + tmp[1] + " min " + tmp[2] " sec " + directionVariable); Jul 31 04:22:42 I'm trying concatenation and getting an exception. Jul 31 04:24:14 well, what i offered is all i got. anything beyond that is, well, beyond me. i only just started writing in java yesterday. Jul 31 04:25:00 Ahhh. The problem is with my 'cleverness' on the N/S choice. Jul 31 04:27:36 N/S? Jul 31 04:28:05 StringTokenizer? Jul 31 04:30:35 I went with String result = blah + ((chunks[0].startsWith("-")) ? "S" : "N"); Jul 31 04:30:38 Dunno why it didn't work. Jul 31 04:36:20 i think i know what my problem was ... my list of information doesn't contain a 0 element, it starts at one .. so i was trying to plaec an object into an uninitialized array at [1] , thus errors Jul 31 04:36:38 Ah. Jul 31 04:36:43 off-by-one sucks. Jul 31 04:36:45 String result = chunks[0] + '\u00B0' + chunks[1] + '\'' + chunks[2] + "\" " + ((chunks[0].startsWith("-")) ? "S" : "N"); Jul 31 04:36:48 That actually worked. Jul 31 04:37:03 I feel dirty checking for negative values by searching for a minus sign. :-) Jul 31 04:37:50 hehe .. Jul 31 04:38:13 got my stuff working, time for a cigarette .. good job on getting your's to work, too. Jul 31 04:54:54 whats up Jul 31 04:55:08 anyone running cyanongen 3.9.2 Jul 31 05:00:01 WWHOOO!O!!!!!! Jul 31 05:03:51 ok .. backend is done .. now it's time to dive into the android interface .. Jul 31 05:04:09 is 1.5 still the latest version? Jul 31 08:14:44 Is it possible to have an activity that is invisible but (a) it will be started by an Intent & (b) in its onCreate(..) method, it will do startActivityForResult(..) which opens up the Contact Picker. ? Jul 31 08:25:07 <_yoyo> how to use mmm to build android.policy.jar? Jul 31 08:26:05 Is it any new firmwares out for the HTC Hero yet? Jul 31 08:26:35 Jazz89: depends on your definition Jul 31 08:26:45 officially i think 1.5 is still it Jul 31 08:27:05 How can check what release version i got for 1.5 on my Hero? Jul 31 08:27:47 there is an entry in the options Jul 31 08:27:57 that shows you the revisions Jul 31 08:27:58 <_yoyo> after modidy MidWindowManager.java (frameworks/policy/mid/...), does it need to build to whole source code? Jul 31 08:28:26 it only says firmware version 1.5, but how can I see if it's the release 1 to 3? Jul 31 08:28:29 _yoyo: you probably want to avoid modifying it unless you really know what you're doing Jul 31 08:28:40 Software version? Jul 31 08:29:29 _yoyo: do you have the whole tree already built and flashed on a device/emulator? Jul 31 08:29:48 <_yoyo> jsharkey: yes, i do know, for example, i have added some debug info into MidWindowManager.java Jul 31 08:30:02 depending on the change, you may be able to get away with just an adb remount + sync Jul 31 08:30:53 <_yoyo> jsharkey: i myself have built the whole tree and flashed on my device too Jul 31 08:31:09 anyone? :P Jul 31 08:31:56 okay sweet, if you're just adding debugging code, then you should be good once you mmm framework/policies/base/mid Jul 31 08:32:07 then adb remount && adb shell stop && adb sync && adb shell start Jul 31 08:32:16 and watch logcat along the way Jul 31 08:32:25 <_yoyo> jsharkey: like framework/base/service/java, it can use mmm to build one xxx.jar. but for the framework/policy/mid, it use mmm not to build xxx.jar Jul 31 08:32:53 _yoyo: as long as you've lunch'ed correctly, adb sync should do the rest Jul 31 08:33:20 I only need to know how I can check what release version of 1.5 I got, so I maybe can install release 3 Jul 31 08:33:38 But I dont know how I can check that Jul 31 08:33:38 i havent mmm'ed policies directly, but it seems like you should be able to Jul 31 08:34:11 Jazz89: what build #? Jul 31 08:34:20 i think r2 is 148875 Jul 31 08:34:42 I got 146733 installed Jul 31 08:35:00 that sounds like it might be r1 Jul 31 08:35:13 K thanks Jul 31 08:35:32 So i download r3 and rename it to update.zip? Jul 31 08:35:52 Jazz89: im not sure if your AVDs will directly use the new r3 system.img Jul 31 08:36:15 Hmm.. Jul 31 08:36:42 actually, it should work, the avd only contains userdata.img Jul 31 08:37:24 So I do what I said, and then place it to the root of the SDCard? Jul 31 08:37:25 Jazz89: wait, you're talking about a hero? Jul 31 08:37:31 yea Jul 31 08:37:32 dont do this Jul 31 08:37:44 the SDK online is very different from the build on phones Jul 31 08:37:51 they are incompatible Jul 31 08:37:57 oh i see Jul 31 08:38:05 *you cant "flash" the emulator image onto a real device Jul 31 08:38:27 its meant only to be run on goldfish hardware (qemu emulator) Jul 31 08:38:35 So I saw an option on the phone that said something like "Download firmware automaticly", is that the only way? Jul 31 08:38:47 im not sure, i havent played with hero Jul 31 08:39:21 htc might know, or the carrier you obtained it through Jul 31 08:39:42 You mean the shop? Jul 31 08:41:16 I went to the htc.com support site, but I can't find the hero in the dropdown list.. it's maybe abit early to update Jul 31 08:41:31 <__yoyo> jsharkey: http://pastebin.com/m120eb2fe, you can see that Jul 31 08:42:14 __yoyo: it doesnt look like any errors? Jul 31 08:42:23 do you have a device running with adb working? Jul 31 08:43:48 <__yoyo> jsharkey: no error, but it doesn't generate xxx.jar which is installed into out/target/xxx directory Jul 31 08:44:16 <__yoyo> jsharkey: yes, i have a device like you say Jul 31 08:44:19 Any thoughts about when Donut will come? Jul 31 08:44:41 _yoyo: The mid policy is kind of fallen into disuse Jul 31 08:45:29 <__yoyo> kroot: eee701 use the mid policy Jul 31 08:45:35 Can a single DefaultHttpClient be shared by multiple threads ? I plan to stick it into an Application class as a static member. Jul 31 09:05:25 <_yoyo> in the onCreate() of one class derived from Activity, how to get the window attrs, like WindowManager.LayoutParams? Jul 31 09:07:28 <_yoyo> mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view), how to set the mVideoView to NOT_FULL_SCREEN? Jul 31 09:11:27 @yoyo getWindow() Jul 31 09:13:57 <_yoyo> ashitaka: how to get the window of mVideoView? Jul 31 09:15:33 http://www.htc.com/europe/product.aspx hero is there Jul 31 09:25:59 @yoyo mVideoView.getLayoutParams() Jul 31 10:43:55 <_garry> Any recommendations on a good entry-level developer book (or online-collection of how-to's and stuff) to android? Decent hands-on-stuff ... Jul 31 10:44:45 <_garry> I have some basic understanding of OO-programming, with some rusty C++ experience deep down in my brain somewhere ... Jul 31 10:47:54 I started at www.anddev.org, there are some good tutorials Jul 31 10:49:29 have you programmed Java, _garry ? Jul 31 10:50:25 <_garry> Not really ;) Jul 31 10:55:55 Gary|thinkpad: i bought a book called 'the busy coders guide to android development', its been good Jul 31 10:56:01 mm wrong person Jul 31 10:56:03 _garry: Jul 31 11:00:08 <_garry> Tnx ... Jul 31 11:00:19 there's a lot of good stuff in the official dev guide Jul 31 11:00:20 http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html Jul 31 11:00:57 and i've found the source code for the bundled apps a great resource Jul 31 11:01:34 http://android.git.kernel.org/ Jul 31 11:02:07 check out the apps under platform/packages/apps/ Jul 31 11:06:19 that book i mentioned is also available as an ebook with constant updates Jul 31 11:08:17 <_garry> guess I'll take a look at the sample version ... pretty big sample too with 150 pgs ... Jul 31 11:12:56 <_garry> well, seems a bit stripped in between, though ;) Jul 31 11:41:16 what is the difference between selecting and clicking an item in a listeview? Jul 31 11:41:48 ie AutocompleteTextView has a setOnItemSelectedListner and setOnItemClickListener Jul 31 11:43:17 and none of them fires.. Jul 31 11:45:29 nm, onItemClick fires Jul 31 12:17:06 Does exist a example in C++ to get a property set by setprop in .rc file ? Jul 31 12:31:05 hi, i like to make an application to stream a video from my computer via vlc to my G1 but am struggling. is there anybody who has experience with this or made it to work already? Jul 31 13:01:42 So..... Jul 31 13:02:39 Time to finally start looking into Android development. So tell me..... since I'm used to NetBeans, and have no experience with Eclipse whatsoever.... what should I do? Does anyone want to recommend me not using NetBeans for Android development? Jul 31 13:05:20 Hm, the plugin doesn't seem to be available for v6.7.1 anyway so.... Jul 31 13:06:04 yes, i want to recommend you to not use NetBeans ;) Jul 31 13:06:15 :-> Why? Jul 31 13:06:29 because the android plugin in eclipse makes life so much easier Jul 31 13:06:53 i'm used to intellij and using that for everything but android Jul 31 13:07:15 But there's a plugin for NetBeans as well. At least I found one online for v6.7, but doesn't seem to be available within NetBeans v6.7.1 Jul 31 13:08:17 * mr_lou scouts the channel for Android devs using NetBeans... Jul 31 13:08:23 Any such persons in here? Jul 31 13:08:58 birgerb, I do regret I didn't use Eclipse when I began learning JavaME. Then I wouldn't be in this mess now. Jul 31 13:09:11 hehe Jul 31 13:09:51 i don't find using different IDE's that big a deal anyway Jul 31 13:10:15 mkay, maybe it isn't a big a deal as I think. Jul 31 13:10:47 I did have a look at Eclipse some time ago. Remember it being a bit confusing. But oh well. I'll have another go. Jul 31 13:11:30 I basically hate eclipse.. it always fucks up your projects.. But it works pretty good for Android projects :) Jul 31 13:13:12 yeah ;) Jul 31 13:13:23 * Ge0rG is coding for android with git, vim and ant. Jul 31 13:13:31 :) Jul 31 13:13:49 a real masochis! ;) Jul 31 13:13:51 ,t Jul 31 13:14:36 birgerb: actually, it depends. having to click around all day and not having useful means of automatization is a kind of masochism too :P Jul 31 13:15:19 sure, but there's hotkeys you know :p Jul 31 13:15:37 I do know hotkeys too... Jul 31 13:15:57 i like rake instead ant http://github.com/jberkel/android-helloworld-rake/blob/64a9ab6c0b13341f96ec5cb585724b095e30205e/Rakefile Jul 31 13:16:03 however. everbody gets what s/he deserves. Jul 31 13:17:01 yep :) Jul 31 13:18:40 anyone used last.fm api on android? Jul 31 13:38:32 Hello Do you know how to use ndk on macbook, for me I have an error at the start of installation Jul 31 13:54:58 ludovic__perrier: doesn't the script tell you what could be wrong? Jul 31 14:12:35 Flixi, Hello, 2 sec I see Jul 31 14:13:20 I'm pretty sure it should do that Jul 31 14:16:16 Hm Jul 31 14:16:27 ok, when I execute ./build/host-setup.sh I have this error: Jul 31 14:16:59 ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.5.o Jul 31 14:17:35 I see on the web that is mac library but I don't find solution... Jul 31 14:17:58 Ok Eclipse isn't impressing me so far. Jul 31 14:18:30 Can't seem to install the Android plugin. Says it requires another plugin, org.eclipse.gef - which I can't find anywhere? Jul 31 14:18:35 mr_lou: frustrated all ready? Jul 31 14:18:59 Flixi, Wouldn't call it frustrated (yet) ;-) Jul 31 14:19:05 Flixi, Slightly annoyed. ;-) Jul 31 14:19:17 mr_lou: Have you tried following the guide step by step :) Jul 31 14:19:28 Flixi, I believe that's what I'm doing yes. Jul 31 14:19:52 I believe you won't need any additional plugins then.. :) Jul 31 14:20:06 But it won't let me install ADT. Jul 31 14:20:07 Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current configuration. See details for more information. Jul 31 14:20:07 Android Development Tools (0.9.1.v200905011822-1621) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.gef". Jul 31 14:20:24 That's what I get. Jul 31 14:20:56 just grab latest eclipse 3.5 java edition Jul 31 14:21:04 and install plugin via eclipse update manager Jul 31 14:21:09 did that yesterday, works fine Jul 31 14:21:27 I got to agree.. it's really easy :) Jul 31 14:21:34 I used the Ubuntu repository install... maybe that wasn't the way. Jul 31 14:21:58 v3.2.2 it says Jul 31 14:22:17 If I know ubuntu right it shouldn't make a difference.. except the link you have to include in the software update site is a bit different Jul 31 14:22:25 Flixi, have you seen my error? Jul 31 14:22:55 Yes I saw it, I'm just trying to do the install again Jul 31 14:23:16 the ubuntu repository i think installs 3.2, I couldn't get the plug in set up with that version either Jul 31 14:23:21 I had to go get 3.5 Jul 31 14:23:23 ok, thanks Jul 31 14:23:26 Taht works great for me Jul 31 14:23:26 Ah Jul 31 14:23:35 Yea see that now. Needs v3.3. or later. Jul 31 14:24:08 * mr_lou uninstalls Eclipse again. Jul 31 14:26:41 ludovic__perrier: I had no problems at all.. :( downloaded the package, moved it to Applications, unpacked it and renamed it to android-ndk, moved to the that folder, and wrote ./build/host-setup.sh Jul 31 14:26:56 resulting in a "Host setup complete." :) Jul 31 14:27:36 * mr_lou downloads v3.5 Jul 31 14:27:49 ok I'll try Jul 31 14:28:20 And I didn't need root privileges or anything.. Jul 31 14:34:52 That's better. :-) Jul 31 14:35:54 Flixi, no, same error I think it's environment problem, what's need to preparation of ndk (gcc...) Jul 31 14:36:39 It's only a guess, but maybe you need to install the xtools first? Jul 31 14:36:59 uh, maybe I asked in the wrong room :) Jul 31 14:37:06 I was in #android, but had an app SDK question Jul 31 14:37:09 I have do it with xcode install Jul 31 14:37:14 is this a better room to ask? Jul 31 14:37:32 millenomi: you can try :) Jul 31 14:38:02 ah, answer to that question: GCC, autotools etc are in the Xcode Tools, so they need to be installed anyway to do any serious development. Jul 31 14:38:05 the question is Jul 31 14:38:24 porting an iPhone app to Android. I have the equivalent of a "compound control" as the Android docs put it Jul 31 14:38:36 this control has a set of children but they're just for display Jul 31 14:38:39 purposes Jul 31 14:38:51 (children = Views) Jul 31 14:38:54 ludovic__perrier: how fare did you get? try look at this: http://www.pastebin.ca/1513789 Jul 31 14:39:26 I was having the superview handle events on the iPhone. what is the right way to approach the problem in Android? I was looking at onInterceptTouchEvent(), but maybe I'm off track. Jul 31 14:40:44 millenomi: I'm very interested in hearing about your experiences porting.. I expect to port my app from android to iphone os soon.. Jul 31 14:41:09 I'll share if they're good :) Jul 31 14:41:16 or useful or something. Jul 31 14:41:24 Grand :) Jul 31 14:44:24 millenomi: I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand your problem. You got different views = different intents. If you want some event handling only one place I think you need to create a service there will notify your intents about the event. Jul 31 14:44:33 er Jul 31 14:44:35 not exactly Jul 31 14:44:36 mmm Jul 31 14:44:38 VIDEO EXPLAINATION! Jul 31 14:44:43 http://infinite-labs.net/mover Jul 31 14:44:51 :) Jul 31 14:44:53 I'm trying to recreate the slide control you see in that video. Jul 31 14:45:25 I need the whole slide to respond to events, but I was going to implement the parts (backdrop, image, label) with subviews. Jul 31 14:45:50 is this the right approach? if so, how do I handle events without subviews getting in the way? Jul 31 14:47:22 No idea sorry.. :( The app looks fancy and very iphonish.. Jul 31 14:47:40 No way of changing basic black font color in Eclipse? :-( Jul 31 14:48:55 mr_lou: properties, general, appearance :) Jul 31 14:49:28 Been there, and changed all black colors to green, but nothing changes the basic font color. Jul 31 14:50:41 Well, not Properties. It's under Preferences. Jul 31 14:52:16 :) same same.. Jul 31 14:53:29 But still doesn't seem possible. Jul 31 14:53:37 A lot of other colors can be changed though. Jul 31 14:56:45 agree, I can even chance the font and size, but not the color.. Jul 31 14:57:16 but to be honest I have never thought about changing the color :) Jul 31 14:57:59 Well I need to. Jul 31 14:58:43 So I can't use Eclipse because of this little detail. Jul 31 14:59:04 Still not frustrated. Just slightly annoyed. Jul 31 14:59:17 :p Jul 31 14:59:18 Will have to try developing with NetBeans then. Jul 31 14:59:42 can I ask why it's so important the text is green and not black? Jul 31 15:00:16 its gotta be a bug, when you change the text font and color from black, it goes back to the orignial color Jul 31 15:00:37 Because I need to use a black background. Have some eye-problems. No bright lights. Jul 31 15:00:49 I see Jul 31 15:01:05 NetBeans has nice options there. Jul 31 15:01:57 you want something that looks like http://drnicwilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/radrails-with-textmate-theme.png Jul 31 15:02:55 Exactly, but even with the other white backgrounds gone too. ;-) And they are gone in Eclipse too (and NetBeans), so I just need to be able to change the default #222222 coloured basic text to some other colour. Jul 31 15:04:49 mr_lou: I found it :) Jul 31 15:05:05 Really? Jul 31 15:05:06 mr_lou: Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring preferences. Jul 31 15:05:17 same place, but you need to go to the java settings :) Jul 31 15:05:20 Hmm... I was in there as well... didn't seem to have any effect. Jul 31 15:05:26 * mr_lou reopens to try again Jul 31 15:05:34 if you insist.. and chance all colors it will Jul 31 15:05:39 mine is red right now :( Jul 31 15:06:11 the one called "Other" changed most of my black to red Jul 31 15:06:22 but think you will need to spend a lot of time before you got it as you want Jul 31 15:06:45 Ah, no I wasn't in there. Jul 31 15:06:52 * mr_lou changes colors.... :-> Jul 31 15:07:04 I don't mind. Jul 31 15:07:08 I did that in NetBeans as well. Jul 31 15:07:56 Indeed that helped. Jul 31 15:07:59 :) Jul 31 15:08:04 And it seems to be enough to change Other and Brackets. Jul 31 15:08:13 At least for now. Jul 31 15:08:15 Nice Jul 31 15:08:17 Thanks Flixi Jul 31 15:09:16 no problem.. Think this is the most productive I have been all day... and only one hour before I can go home for a weeks vacation :) Jul 31 15:10:38 lol Jul 31 15:10:54 Well, operators and static methods needs to be changed too. But that's it I think. Jul 31 15:11:07 * mr_lou continues his HelloAndroid adventure. Jul 31 15:11:34 best of luck on your adventure.. ;) Jul 31 15:12:16 :-> Jul 31 15:25:07 hey, when using google maps, how do i get the gps to work Jul 31 15:25:14 sending incoming calls etc from eclipse ddms view works Jul 31 15:25:21 but i cant send manual long and lat Jul 31 15:25:42 or i can, but nothing seems to happen Jul 31 15:25:49 pressing "my location" in the maps app and then pressing "send" for long+lat in ddms Jul 31 15:28:31 oh i see you found the option Jul 31 15:28:38 I got pulled away with work Jul 31 15:30:12 hey guys - can anyone point me to a good beginners open gl es tutorial Jul 31 15:30:15 i cannot find one using google!

But can't find the download button Jul 31 15:52:30 i haven;t read it Jul 31 15:53:02 it's beyond the scope of what I know right now. I'm a beginner but was pooling lots of resources Jul 31 15:53:49 It being free, helps its cause though :-) You loose nothing but time if you don't like it. Jul 31 15:55:24 deekjx: can you please describe where the download button/link is located on the page?

Jul 31 16:01:27 *sigh* Jul 31 16:01:33 'nother question! Jul 31 16:01:55 I'm trying to instantiate a number of views via View.inflate(). the XML specifies a custom class -- why does it always return a LinearLayout instead? Jul 31 16:02:19 XML: ... with Class extends RelativeLayout Jul 31 16:03:23 what m i doin rong? Jul 31 16:03:32 emm Jul 31 16:03:38 i can haz noobness. Jul 31 16:03:46 does ur element have android:layout_toRightOf="id" etc Jul 31 16:03:53 or does it have associations to do with linear layouts... Jul 31 16:04:20 I have a subview in the RelativeLayout subclass that has a layout_belowWhatsitsname="id" Jul 31 16:04:25 i keep seeing refferences online for opening a Email intent like this in 1.1 Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Email:") , but it seems to be removed in 1.5 , can anyone confirm ? Jul 31 16:05:04 posting the XML... Jul 31 16:05:22 ok Jul 31 16:05:27 i dont know if i can help tbh Jul 31 16:05:29 but ill take a look Jul 31 16:05:35 * millenomi pasted http://pastie.textmate.org/private/jsxutru5ncodyjjvtmm6w Jul 31 16:05:41 no, wait, no layout_belowness. Jul 31 16:05:44 valexa yeah i dont recognise that api Jul 31 16:06:28 millenomi that xml has on relative layout android lines in it at all... Jul 31 16:06:32 no wonder its coming out as linear layout Jul 31 16:06:47 net.infinitelabs.mover.ui.SlideView extends RelativeLayout Jul 31 16:07:08 ok... Jul 31 16:07:11 so you need ot od like Jul 31 16:07:34 baring in mind that relative views are only calculated in one passing or something, i never get relative right Jul 31 16:07:51 always use absolute lol Jul 31 16:07:56 i have to go Jul 31 16:07:56 ciao Jul 31 16:08:03 I'm just baffled by the fact that it's not returning an instance of my custom subclass is all. Jul 31 16:12:53 worked around by assigning an ID to the slide view and using findViewById(). :) Jul 31 16:13:06 didn't expect my view to be inflated wrappe. Jul 31 16:13:09 *wrapped. Jul 31 16:13:10 it still works , i just needed to also specify something like : sendIntent.setType("text/plain"); Jul 31 16:14:01 :) Jul 31 16:14:19 the choser handler is smart enough to chose the senders based on the type of the data , so the type is required Jul 31 16:18:10 yayness Jul 31 16:18:16 I got to my target for today Jul 31 16:18:27 less pain than I expected (still quite a bit tho) Jul 31 16:27:54 mmm Jul 31 16:27:58 must say Jul 31 16:28:10 it didn't take much more effort than the iPhone side of things, comparatively speaking. Jul 31 16:29:13 I mean: I got from nil to Having a View Onscreen The Way I Wanted It more or less in the same timeframe. Jul 31 16:29:27 (also Receiving Events The Way I Wanted It) Jul 31 16:29:44 (To) Jul 31 16:30:19 nice Jul 31 16:31:06 I'm working on learning java and the android at the same time. I finally got my app to function fairly well, I need to add and eula and work on signing it Jul 31 17:05:43 Hi, all. I have a project I'm working on where I want to make use of the features from AudioTrack, but I want to be able to use MP3s, etc. What is the recommended way to convert compressed to PCM data? Reading docs, it looks like the decode method is private in MediaPlayer, so some people have included the decoder open source libs, but that seems really inefficient; if anything, it would be better to use a general library. Jul 31 17:06:03 romainguy: you there? Jul 31 17:06:29 romainguy: i think i have found a bug in Launcher in cupcake. pretty serious, but wanted to run it by you to see if it was already known. Jul 31 17:09:23 jasta: sure, what is it? Jul 31 17:10:21 it seems that if an app in the marketplace changes the name of the activity which has the MAIN/LAUNCHER intent-filter changes, when the package upgrades through the market the Launcher will still fire the old Intent to start it Jul 31 17:10:32 it's been fixed Jul 31 17:10:32 upon failure, will say "The application is not installed." Jul 31 17:10:35 that's what i thought. Jul 31 17:10:42 backported to cupcake? Jul 31 17:10:45 no Jul 31 17:10:49 oh :) Jul 31 17:11:05 will it be? or are you guys waiting for donut? Jul 31 17:11:12 no it won't be Jul 31 17:11:22 ok, thanks Jul 31 17:33:06 romainguy: will that also apply to shortcuts? Jul 31 18:14:55 hey guys - am making an open gl app - does anybody know how to get the specific co-ordinates of a finger press on the phone? Jul 31 18:17:51 ... Jul 31 18:18:22 OnTouch... Jul 31 18:20:04 yep jst found it Jul 31 18:20:06 awesomeness Jul 31 18:20:44 is it possiuble to have an opengl view and a say...textview on screen at he same time? Jul 31 18:22:38 AndyArmstrong: yes Jul 31 18:38:36 which website do you use to share the screenshot? Jul 31 18:59:32
