Aug 18 06:44:18 It keeps saying its an int (I understand it uses the int as a pointer to the real value, I just don't know how to get the real value into a string) Aug 18 06:44:33 Foxdie: getResources().getString(R.string.blah) or something like that Aug 18 06:44:40 but you shouldnt need to do this in every case Aug 18 06:44:55 a lot of convenience methods exist for instance TextView#setText(int) can accept something like R.string.blah Aug 18 06:46:41 Yep, but my r.string contains a URL Aug 18 06:46:58 and I'm trying to append information (login details) after that URL before submitting it to the server Aug 18 06:49:23 and getResources().getString(R.string.blah) worked a treat, thankyou :) Aug 18 06:49:39 Although if brackets are entered, (), it crashes the app oddly Aug 18 06:50:46 "Illegal character in query" Aug 18 06:51:14 but all I'm doing is parsing a string from an R.string and from a EditText field, and then displaying it as a Toast event Aug 18 06:56:15 Maybe convert to unicode? How may i do that please? Aug 18 07:27:37 ok i have service the serive running thread that do TCP/IP Aug 18 07:27:59 now i want to send messages aka update my actvities about stuff that happen in the thread from the thread Aug 18 07:28:03 how i go and do it .... ? Aug 18 07:31:53 someone mention BroadcastReceiver Aug 18 07:31:58 but i dont see how Aug 18 07:35:15 Please can someone tell me how I can URL encode in the SDK? Aug 18 07:35:36 eclipse doesn't seem to recognise encode(string, format) Aug 18 07:35:37 public class Login extends Activity { how i also make it extend BroadcastReceiver Aug 18 07:36:45 by using c++ Aug 18 07:39:10 i guess i must have internal class that extend it inside my activity class Aug 18 07:44:48 do network requests from a background process require user authorization? e.g. an IM application currently in background needs user authorization to receive updates? Aug 18 07:46:54 Hey all. Can someone point me in the direction of how to create a custom animation ? Aug 18 09:36:06 hello Aug 18 09:37:54 anyone know how much memory each emulator instance uses on XP? Aug 18 12:31:52 why on earth would there not be a base64-decoder in android? Aug 18 12:38:27 anyone know how to solve "JNI_OnLoad returned bad version (-1)"? Aug 18 12:41:00 Rexxars_: I think there are atleast a few base64 encoders. But perhaps none in the public API Aug 18 12:46:26 hi all, in reference to http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Thread.html#stop() Aug 18 12:46:35 what should I use if stop() is deprecated? Aug 18 13:24:20 Foxdie implement something to make it stop running? :P Aug 18 13:24:30 I just do a while (Running) in the run() Aug 18 13:24:38 to stop it just set its Running to false Aug 18 14:52:00 does anyone know how to specify the "selected" tab icon, for custom icons? I have a selected and unselected png but I can't figure out how to switch between them at the appropriate time. Aug 18 14:58:17 yes SinnerG Aug 18 14:58:21 but how do you actually stop the thread? Aug 18 14:58:29 can't even run this.stop() properly inside it Aug 18 14:58:34 because THATS deprecated too Aug 18 14:58:37 Hello, question, is it possible to stream windows encoded audio on the android? Aug 18 14:58:46 like a port of ffmpeg or something like that? Aug 18 14:59:15 just return in the run methode Aug 18 15:00:27 guess not Aug 18 15:04:48 hi, I wanted to try camera examples for android 1.1 but Camera.open() throws RuntimeException (OOM) is there anything I missed? Aug 18 15:05:15 App dev's need to get on board with android-ui.com Aug 18 15:15:01 return in the.. OOH Aug 18 15:16:09 okay, well I'm monitoring the state of my thread now Aug 18 15:16:22 it says its TERMINATED the second time I try and .run() it Aug 18 15:16:32 is there a way to destroy it and recreate it? Aug 18 15:16:35 iCEBrkr: How about: if you press a button and it takes more than 3 seconds to respond, it's too long Aug 18 15:16:44 I'm using a thread to poll a web server for content Aug 18 15:16:57 kroot: haah that's not always up to the app :) Aug 18 15:17:06 iCEBrkr: I'm sure a real UX person knows the milliseconds before a user loses interest Aug 18 15:17:25 Peoples ADD has ADD :) Aug 18 15:17:28 iCEBrkr: you can always make it faster Aug 18 15:17:54 kroot: I have a laundry list of 'check-list items' I have yet to add to my document. Aug 18 15:18:23 after the thread is done Aug 18 15:18:28 you need to create a new thread obj to run it Aug 18 15:18:34 you cant restart it Aug 18 15:18:45 does the thread get cleaned up automatically? Aug 18 15:18:55 what do you mean by cleaned up? Aug 18 15:19:25 iCEBrkr: here it is.. users expect a key press to respond within 300 milliseconds. Aug 18 15:19:39 http://bit.ly/sByWC Aug 18 15:21:27 Interesting Aug 18 15:22:28 Does the LocationProvider.AVAILABLE ever change from 2? Aug 18 15:23:04 kroot: But you understand the gist of it. UI is lacking in the android app community. Aug 18 15:23:19 kroot: and I don't think a lot of devs understand mobile or embedded development Aug 18 15:27:40 iCEBrkr: Yes. Plus engineering good UX can be difficult. Aug 18 15:28:07 no matter your knowledge level Aug 18 15:33:57 kroot: Very true Aug 18 15:36:23 So many apps have potential but the devs go out of their way to make the UI suck **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Aug 18 15:37:46 2009
