**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 03 02:59:59 2012 Mar 03 03:18:31 t0mless: Thank you. That works :) Mar 03 04:19:51 Hi I'm noticing in logcat that GC_CONCURRENT freed is being called more than once a second for my application - what am I doing wrong? Mar 03 04:23:11 allocating lots of memory? Mar 03 04:24:15 is it slowing down your app? if not, then don't worry about it Mar 03 04:32:54 mrenouf: not really, but it's making logcat awfully messy. I was just wondering if it was indicative of something Mar 03 04:33:16 what is your app doing at the time? Mar 03 04:33:41 ziroday: do you know what the GC is? Mar 03 04:33:55 ziroday, ignore them, filter it out Mar 03 04:33:58 DrPenguin: aye, garbage collection Mar 03 04:34:01 ziroday, unless you have a memory issue Mar 03 04:34:38 pfn: that's what I was afraid of. I am changing a TextField every 30 seconds or so which appears to be the cause for the GC. Mar 03 04:34:56 every 30 seconds doesn't cause a gc cycle... Mar 03 04:35:00 and gc is normal Mar 03 04:35:12 sorry I mean every second Mar 03 04:35:13 it happens whenever your app is idle and it seems like memory can be reclaimed Mar 03 04:35:18 right Mar 03 04:35:40 all righty then, thanks! Mar 03 04:35:54 (oh is there a way to filter out the messages using a java regex?) Mar 03 04:37:25 why would you need a java regex Mar 03 04:37:34 logcat -s dalvikvm:w Mar 03 05:05:13 what's the unit for Bitmap's getHeight()? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html#getHeight%28%29 Mar 03 05:05:19 is it pixels?

Mar 03 05:30:28 o.o Mar 03 05:30:31 ah okay Mar 03 05:30:34 a galaxy nexus Mar 03 05:30:35 GSM Mar 03 05:30:43 just upgraded 3 weeks ago from a HTC Touch2 (winmo) Mar 03 05:31:19 nice O: Mar 03 05:31:29 hi all Mar 03 05:31:37 i have this view in my project Mar 03 05:31:39 https://gist.github.com/1964562 Mar 03 05:31:40 it was the nexus s - not the galaxy nexus that didn't have an sd slot right? Mar 03 05:31:57 the textview with id "amenities" is a long field Mar 03 05:32:03 and goes off the screen for a bit Mar 03 05:32:30 i noticed in the graphical editor that the set width for it trails off the screen a bit(but is the actual width of the screen) Mar 03 05:32:46 i assume it is because it is sitting next to the amenitiesText textView Mar 03 05:33:05 Snuupy: the galnex has no SD Mar 03 05:33:12 Snuupy: nor usb mass storage Mar 03 05:33:13 anyone good enough at the layouts to help me out so that it doesnt go off the screen(btw it goes to 2 rows, but still trails off a little) Mar 03 05:34:27 dragorn: the galaxy nexus doesn't? D: Mar 03 05:34:40 Snuupy: correct. it does not. Mar 03 05:34:59 dragorn: that sucks. Thanks for the info. Mar 03 05:47:55 o.o Mar 03 05:48:20 Snuupy, just think of it as an boosted up iPhone Mar 03 05:48:22 16GB/32GB Mar 03 05:48:38 zhongfu: oh. the galnexus? Mar 03 05:51:59 yeh Mar 03 05:52:48 oh okay. Mar 03 05:52:55 GSII looks better though Mar 03 05:53:32 why would a gl application work only some of the time? runnin the same code on a droid2 gives different results Mar 03 05:53:51 Snuupy, if GSII Mar 03 05:53:56 why not wait for GSIII Mar 03 05:54:02 I'm not getting either of them Mar 03 05:54:06 my budget's too tight Mar 03 05:54:07 or GSIV Mar 03 06:44:15 how can an application run different without changing code?! fu droid2 it just works on my droid Mar 03 06:45:49 something must have changed in 2.3 Mar 03 06:47:46 no its weirder then that, its runs on the droid 2 some of the time Mar 03 06:48:33 the material and lighting work one time quit the app and its bork another time Mar 03 06:49:03 what's the exception you're getting? Mar 03 06:49:10 there is no pattern, no gl errors Mar 03 06:49:38 there is no visable errors the material is white, some of the time Mar 03 06:52:16 restarting the app somtimes fixes it and it looks right the whole time it runs Mar 03 07:46:52 morning all Mar 03 07:49:20 hai Mar 03 08:00:18 im having a bit of an issue with a troublesome imageview. i have this image view and a few buttons in a vertical linear layout. the image is small enough that it can be displayed fully with plenty of room for the buttons. however, setting the layout_height of the imageview to wrap_content, the activity displays whitespace above and below the image. this has the effect of shrinking the button to only a few pixels Mar 03 08:00:18 each at hte bottom of the screen Mar 03 08:00:30 ive tried setting padding to 0 with no effect Mar 03 08:00:53 if i set the layout_height to 450px (the height of the image) it displays as expected Mar 03 08:19:15 hey does anyone know how to enable sqlite rtree module for android? Mar 03 08:58:25 hi, I need a programmatic web browser. I've started using classic HTTPClient and it worked ok, but now I need something capable of executing javascript. Mar 03 08:58:44 I've tried to use httpunit but couldn't make it work Mar 03 08:59:08 and I'm googling htmlunit but it seems that nobody have been able to make it work either Mar 03 09:00:09 do you know some way to solve this? or do you know someone who could make httpunit or htmlunit work? Mar 03 09:00:44 just to know if it is possible. If it is, i can keep trying to make it work Mar 03 09:02:27 hi all =) im having imageview-related issues. i have an imageview and a few other layouts in a vertical linear layout. my issue is that even with wrap_content on the height and width of the image, there is a large (~100px) amount of whitespace above and below the image Mar 03 09:02:47 my layout code is here http://pastebin.com/W0rcmY3y Mar 03 09:03:18 adding a background colour to the view confirms the whitespace is part of the ImageView Mar 03 09:03:38 any ideas why the height is so much larger than the image height? Mar 03 09:06:41 I have a button in each item of a listView. I have set on click listener to these buttons inside the getView() of my custom adapter. Now, I'm not able to catch onItemClick event for list items. Can someone help me out? Mar 03 09:13:26 g_steinert, have you tried the android:padding setting, try setting it to 0px. Mar 03 09:14:38 napster, you will have to set android:focusable=false for your buttons. Mar 03 09:15:57 neevek: ive tried padding and layout_margin - both had no effect =( its almost as if it thinks the image is bigger than it actually is Mar 03 09:18:34 hey does anyone know how to enable sqlite rtree module for android without recompiling sqlite? Mar 03 09:22:33 hello. Is a git commit related (always) with a BTS bug?, thanks Mar 03 09:28:53 hmmm, it seems my problem is something to do with the difference between dp and px. The image is 450x450px. If i set the layout_height to 450px, it displays fine. if, however i use dp as the unit, it displays as it does if i use wrap_content Mar 03 09:30:48 Hello .. i am trying to build an app for offline synchronization. Is there any support for the sync4J java library in android ? Mar 03 09:33:44 Is it possible to force an activity recreate (onCreate()) every time it is launched with a given intent? Mar 03 09:35:22 neevek: it worked. Thank you. Mar 03 09:37:51 skfax, if you have android:launchMode="standard"(which is the default), you should already have your activity recreated every time you start it with an intent. Mar 03 09:38:39 skfax: if you want some code executed every time an activity is displayed, you can implement the start() or resume() functions Mar 03 09:39:52 It's for a PreferenceActivity, where I need to load the SharedPreferences from a database before I set up the Preferences (it sounds silly) Mar 03 09:40:35 neevek: Thanks :) I'm getting the correct behavior now, I'm just going over things to ensure that I know why they are working Mar 03 09:41:31 It's a configuration activity for an app widget (which launches other activities), so when started with the intent I always want a clean task with only the newly created root configuration activity Mar 03 09:42:28 if you want to reload the data everytime the activity is brought to front, you only need to do the reload in onResume(), recreating the activity is kinda overkill. Mar 03 09:44:12 I could do that, but I'd have to figure out how to make sure the preferences didn't interfere with me loading new data while they are active, also I'd need to refresh all preference state afterwards Mar 03 09:58:33 hello , installing Busybox gives that error : http://bitsy.me/img4dy - WTF? Mar 03 10:10:23 hey everyone Mar 03 10:10:55 is there anyway that i can parse a string directly to an arraylist? i will be takign an arraylist.tostring() sending it json and reconstructing it Mar 03 10:12:43 hello , installing Busybox gives that error : http://bitsy.me/img4dy - WTF? Mar 03 10:13:00 try asking again Mar 03 10:14:41 hey is someone here who uses perst emdb? Mar 03 10:17:22 what does dp stand for? in a margin tag in xml for example Mar 03 10:17:25 10dp ? Mar 03 10:29:40 Tashtego: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources.html#Dimension Mar 03 10:36:04 ok density independent unit. nice. but what if i do it programmatically? setWidth(10); this is an int. is it a dp int? or what unit is it when i do it in java? Mar 03 10:49:28 This doesnt make sense. I have a server that is a server socket / web server. I can access it through my browser on my pc. But my web view in the same android device can't find http://127.0.0.1:4444/ Mar 03 10:49:46 hi guys i'd like to let the user send one file generated from my app via email. Actually for do that i save the file on te sd card and i send the intent for the email. The problem is that the file remains saved on the sd card. In your opinion there is a way to do thayt without saving it? Mar 03 10:50:09 squeakytoy, use 10.0.0.2 Mar 03 10:50:42 10.0.2.2, sorry Mar 03 10:51:17 127.0.0.1 is the localhost of your emulator ;) Mar 03 10:58:18 hmm my code is: http://pastebin.com/g5FY6Vkm it looks like: http://picpaste.de/screen-5246Hk8G.png now how can i make the favorite label broader? tell it to get a weight of 5 for example? Mar 03 10:59:47 anyone ever worked with an embedded web server? Mar 03 11:00:42 my table row elements use the layoutparams from the outer table layout. this works. but if i define a new layout for the inner elements with a different weight, they arent being shown anymore Mar 03 11:01:40 i dont want the table row elements to be even in weight. some should be broader than others. favorite label in this example should be bigger Mar 03 11:07:36 hey all, can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong here? I seem to occasionally get a nullpointerexception here: http://pastebin.com/z6HiRc5z Mar 03 11:08:07 the nullpointer exception triggers on the first line there Mar 03 11:08:17 might it be because no external storage is available, or? Mar 03 11:15:08 Untouchab1e: getExternalFilesDir() "Returns null if external storage is not currently mounted so it could not ensure the path exists; you will need to call this method again when it is available." Mar 03 11:15:26 skfax: ah, right! Mar 03 11:15:30 so I should put a try/catch in there then Mar 03 11:15:42 You should check the state of the external storage Mar 03 11:15:56 SimonVT: even better, any pointers on how I can do that? Mar 03 11:16:09 Look at the "data storage" page on the dev site Mar 03 11:16:13 It has an example Mar 03 11:20:32 SimonVT: thanks Mar 03 11:21:04 hm, what are the different ways an apps can talk to each other? Mar 03 11:21:48 hm, what are the different ways apps can talk to each other?* Mar 03 11:26:43 squeakytoy, intent? Mar 03 11:26:57 maybe sockets/serversockets too Mar 03 11:26:58 hm Mar 03 11:28:22 I seem to be having a problem understanding widgets and whatever tutorial or whatever I find do not exactly make it easier. I am in need of parsing a simple string to a widget, and whenever that string updates, I need to update the widget. How would I do that? Mar 03 11:28:52 squeakytoy, tecnically you could but you should keep the server process running all the time. not a good idea. Mar 03 11:30:20 hm Mar 03 11:32:03 intents are more suitable because with BroadcastReceiver if the server process is not running it is automatically started. Mar 03 11:33:47 hmmmmmmm! Mar 03 11:34:00 its possible to create custom intents, right? Mar 03 11:34:07 thats a pretty cool idea Mar 03 11:43:20 squeakytoy, what do you mean with custom intent? Mar 03 11:43:31 custom actions Mar 03 11:43:38 yes, of course Mar 03 11:43:46 which is really awesome tbh Mar 03 11:44:00 sending out a hello.world.intent.234 which other apps can listen to Mar 03 11:44:47 Do you think I should have a quit button in my game? Mar 03 11:45:18 would people use it? Mar 03 11:45:42 Maybe, I have no idea Mar 03 11:45:44 i probably wouldnt, i hit home or back Mar 03 11:45:48 ah Mar 03 11:46:04 or the power button to end it quickly :-) Mar 03 11:46:30 generally, you don't want a quit button Mar 03 11:46:31 hmm, can you quit a game with the power button? Mar 03 11:47:28 home will *always* take users out of your app, and back should do something sensible Mar 03 11:49:47 When I played MineCraft today it froze. Is it possible to still quit it by force closing the game or something, or do I have to restart my phone? Mar 03 11:51:26 hold down your home button Mar 03 11:51:41 Okay, I'll try that next time Mar 03 11:56:50 hm, what takes more performance/battery. Having a serversocket up and running 24/7, or open a socket to a server every...15 seconds Mar 03 11:56:52 hm, what takes more performance/battery. Having a serversocket up and running 24/7, or open a socket to a server every...15 seconds? Mar 03 11:57:18 huh Mar 03 11:57:28 creation of intent fails with NoClassDefFound O.o Mar 03 11:59:38 hm, my question didnt make sense. What takes more performance/battery. Having a socket-connection up and running 24/7, or open a socket to the server every.. 15 seconds? Mar 03 12:00:37 um, I sense you're trying to do something terryibly awful Mar 03 12:00:48 squeakytoy, can you describe your use-case? Mar 03 12:01:01 are you sending data to server? receiving? polling for updates? Mar 03 12:01:01 need to create push service Mar 03 12:01:11 well Mar 03 12:01:22 use integrated push service Mar 03 12:01:29 that'll use by far the least battery Mar 03 12:01:34 everything else will be noticably worse Mar 03 12:02:02 is there a push solution in android? Mar 03 12:02:13 you are not thinking of push notications? Mar 03 12:02:13 squeakytoy, yep Mar 03 12:02:16 squeakytoy, http://code.google.com/intl/sl/android/c2dm/ Mar 03 12:02:33 squeakytoy, what do you think the difference is? Mar 03 12:02:49 notications are UI alerts Mar 03 12:03:05 well Mar 03 12:03:12 here you get data pushed Mar 03 12:03:24 and you decide if you want to create UI alert in code Mar 03 12:03:28 this is not iOS :P Mar 03 12:06:42 is C2DM a part of the Android core libraries? Mar 03 12:06:54 part of Google libraries Mar 03 12:07:09 so, not a part of Android. hm Mar 03 12:07:17 yes, part of android Mar 03 12:07:21 part of google android libraries Mar 03 12:07:26 ah, ok Mar 03 12:07:27 go read the docs ffs. Mar 03 12:07:39 devices with android market have those libraries Mar 03 12:07:54 devices without android market (And other Google apps like gmail, maps, youtube etc.) don't Mar 03 12:08:10 i am reading the docs Mar 03 12:08:29 but isnt weird its on code.google.com than devloper.android.com if its apart of android? Mar 03 12:16:46 what did you mean g_steinert ? my table row is fill_parent, fill_parent. without weights Mar 03 12:17:09 and textview is textViewLayoutParams = new TableRow.LayoutParams(0, WRAP_CONTENT, 1); Mar 03 12:20:43 where can I find out about "good practice" for app releases on Android? Mar 03 12:20:55 hmmm...what was worded horribly Mar 03 12:21:36 what I mean is, how do I know how to number my app releases? is there a standard that Android follows? Mar 03 12:21:43 something like x.x.x Mar 03 12:22:04 what counts as a release, what counts as a feature upgrade, etc... Mar 03 12:22:14 Version numbers are meaningless afaik. Mar 03 12:22:32 but they have to be there..I can't just say "this is the new one, it's ALSO called 1.0!" Mar 03 12:22:34 there is not one standard everybody follows. If there was, you would know, but there's no way to know what kind of upgrade 5.1 is to 5.2, or 5 to 6. Mar 03 12:22:54 you don't even have to use a number Mar 03 12:23:08 see I've already started doing that on Freecode Mar 03 12:23:17 * Tashtego seeks out for g_steinert... are you there? ;) Mar 03 12:23:23 see this, http://freecode.com/projects/cura Mar 03 12:23:38 it's completely screwed up Mar 03 12:23:42 linux kernel versions are particularly bizarre because you have 2.6.x. The 2.6 part was just fixed and (nearly) meaningless, so they coalesced it and called it 3 Mar 03 12:23:48 so now we have 3.x instead of 2.6.x Mar 03 12:23:54 3.2.8 is out by the way Mar 03 12:24:05 before the market included changelogs, people actually included their entire update announcements in the version 'number' Mar 03 12:24:40 Tashtego: im here =) where you have - new TableRow.LayoutParams(0, WRAP_CONTENT, 1); you need to change TableRow to the type of layout that the table row is being added to (just for the tablerow object) Mar 03 12:24:49 Anyone with experience/educated guess. What takes more performance/battery. Having a socket-connection up and running 24/7, or open a socket to the server every.. 15 seconds? for checking for updates. Mar 03 12:25:15 and my favorite whipping boy is binutils Mar 03 12:25:31 g_steinert wait a second.... i think i found the bug ;) .... Mar 03 12:25:34 arrrg Mar 03 12:25:36 oh well, it *used* to have a really long and convoluted version string, not anymore. Sorry. Mar 03 12:25:44 check the "//Apply layout params" ... Mar 03 12:25:52 textViewFavorite.setLayoutParams(tableRowLayoutParamsFavorite);... Mar 03 12:26:13 squeakytoy: i cant comment directly on your question, but if you check every x seconds you have the opportunity to find the best compromise between speed of updates and power consumption Mar 03 12:26:23 copy paste... Mar 03 12:27:20 Tashtego: haha! thats what you get for being lazy =/ lol Mar 03 12:28:02 not really in that case Mar 03 12:28:13 i was thinking that i have to use the layout params from the parent container Mar 03 12:28:20 in case of textview the parent was the table row Mar 03 12:28:23 taht was in my code Mar 03 12:28:30 but your code gets another way Mar 03 12:28:38 by defining layout params for every element Mar 03 12:28:53 but you didnt change the code to use those defined layouts and i didnt see it at first ;) Mar 03 12:29:03 however i am thankful for every help ;) Mar 03 12:29:19 and finally... IT WORKS ;) Mar 03 12:29:25 you were right. THANK YOU!! Mar 03 12:29:27 Tashtego: no problem =) glad i could help Mar 03 12:29:38 baaaaam =) Mar 03 12:30:02 its given me a break from my own issues =P im having dp vs px issues =/ Mar 03 12:30:35 sounds evil :( frontend stuff / designing views is really painful Mar 03 12:31:29 i would love to help you out but i guess you are fare more expierenced than me. its my first android app Mar 03 12:32:10 Tashtego: i wouldn't call myself experienced, more that second set of eyes that can see the bit of logic you missed =P Mar 03 12:32:33 I'm just going to go about it like such; I have 6 modules to be implemented and until they're all implemented, it's going to be in the format of 0.. Mar 03 12:33:02 so 3 modules that just got a fix would be 0.3.1 Mar 03 12:34:06 and when all 6 have been implemented (meaning that the app is finally delivering what it promised), it'll be 1.x.x Mar 03 12:34:13 sounds good Mar 03 12:50:11 I'm trying to get a simple TextView widget to update from an activity. How would I go about this? Mar 03 12:52:33 well I'd think you'd have to update the textview with the contents of whatever the activity's returning/doing Mar 03 12:52:43 myTextView.setText () maybe? Mar 03 12:53:09 Would the widget get updated too then? Mar 03 12:53:19 If so, then it's pretty easy. Mar 03 12:53:28 everything on android is pretty easy Mar 03 12:53:35 EXCEPT FOR GODDAMN THREADS! Mar 03 12:53:45 lol Mar 03 12:54:05 threads are hard everywhere, not just on android Mar 03 12:54:17 I just use java threads for Android. Mar 03 12:54:33 AsyncTask is easier than java threads Mar 03 12:54:34 lol Mar 03 12:55:21 not really, AsyncTask has *more* things to it, but for the things you need to actually do on android, AsyncTask is easier. Mar 03 12:55:47 Anyway, the onUpdate method in the widget, do I need to call that or does that update itself? Mar 03 12:56:12 I think you've got some reading to do Mar 03 12:56:22 Moopz: I think you just set a new text in it and that's that? Mar 03 12:57:06 Sicp: Well you get conflicting information everywhere. Somewhere they call the onUpdate method from a service and stuff so. Mar 03 12:58:21 I know you set the update period in your provider but does that mean it calls onUpdate at that interval? Mar 03 12:58:32 Yes' Mar 03 12:58:36 Alright. Mar 03 13:00:09 Oh I see, this is a widget thingy... duh, too long. I keep on thinking as "widget = any gui object". :-/ Mar 03 13:00:47 They should have a better name like launchlet or something. Mar 03 13:15:00 What is Android Market using above the ViewPager? Mar 03 13:15:13 Where all the "tab titles" are. Mar 03 13:15:25 Feels a bit like a gallery. Mar 03 13:19:05 hello guys, question Mar 03 13:19:11 how can i collect audit data on android? Mar 03 13:19:17 any ideas Mar 03 13:19:22 this means data such as which app access which directories/files on a system, also the packages outgoing and incoming, also buttery consumption, andrid keyboard usage, camera usage, who uses them, at what time Mar 03 13:29:22 ArrayList.clear() throws a nullpointerexception Mar 03 13:29:38 gah, was supposed to post this in java Mar 03 13:37:23 Kake_Fisk: Well, have you initialized your ArrayList? Mar 03 13:38:04 I figured it out. I passed it to a constructor, but hadn't wrote the code for receiving it on the other end. Mar 03 13:39:05 how can I have an imagebutton appear transparent when Normal and "default button click color" when clicked? I tried setting background color to @null but then it's always transparente (no UI feedback when pressed) Mar 03 13:39:33 ping romainguy_ > Are you familiar with the actual structure of the swipey tabs? I can't quite figure out what the "tab title bar" consists of. Mar 03 13:52:09 Can i change the return/enter/next button on the virtual keyboard to say "Search" in an ordinary EditText? Mar 03 14:05:31 Is there a way to programmatically set my Android to "Stun?" Mar 03 14:06:53 Hi, I want to create a custom camera app that records video, plays it back and uploads it via HTTP POST. Can anyone give me a list of API classes I'll need off the top of their head? Mar 03 14:07:37 ... Mar 03 14:12:24 Puck6633: i'm doing exactly the same but with images and i've lost my desire to live Mar 03 14:12:47 haha. That bad, huh? Mar 03 14:13:24 Looks like I'll need MediaRecorder, MediaPlayer, and AndroidHttpClient.. But I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. Mar 03 14:14:07 Puck6633: i'd say you should start laying out your GUI and first make it fire the camera app Mar 03 14:14:30 use the built in camera app. don't get funky Mar 03 14:14:36 I know in ActionScript for example, you can perform a file upload using the HTTP request class, but it's much easier to upload a file using the FileReference class.. Mar 03 14:15:17 I really need to customize it unfortunately. The app needs to do some pretty funky stuff with the video recorder before it's finished. Mar 03 14:15:19 Puck6633: i had to use Apache's HttpClient because the one in android was too old (or that's what most blogs said) Mar 03 14:16:00 Really? It can't even handle a chunked POST file upload? Mar 03 14:17:38 Maybe I should experiment just with the HttpClient using the AVD and a local server before I try anything more complicated... Thanks for the advice! Mar 03 14:18:59 Hm.. What about this? http://reecon.wordpress.com/2010/04/25/uploading-files-to-http-server-using-post-android-sdk/ Mar 03 14:20:46 Puck6633: same code i think, i'm just using a newer version (just dropped a newer JAR in my app) Mar 03 14:21:32 You're saying code like that was not functioning with the client included in the SDK? Mar 03 14:22:02 That's bizarre.. Where did you get an updated client? Mar 03 14:24:50 Puck6633: i didn't try. i just copypasted some code and followed instructions Mar 03 14:25:14 Puck6633: hc.apache.org Mar 03 14:26:26 Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! Mar 03 14:30:17 hey Mar 03 14:30:31 can anyone help me by collisions in java Mar 03 14:30:39 android^ Mar 03 14:31:09 can anyone help me by collisions in java (android) Mar 03 14:36:07 is anyone here a lawyer? Mar 03 14:38:20 what ? Mar 03 14:38:32 i need a bit of legal advice Mar 03 14:38:44 concerning app development Mar 03 14:40:43 No lawyer gives out free advice on the internet. Mar 03 14:40:55 Pay somebody with an office. Mar 03 14:42:36 Hi guys I got this big problem with NFC and Android ICS (4.0.2/4.0.3). Someone know how to solve or have some advice for me? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9517209/android-nfc-not-working-with-ics Mar 03 14:42:41 Tricknology: there are a lot of law-related forums on the internet, why you would except lawyers here. Mar 03 14:43:06 freecandy: god this is so funny... you should have said "don't trust anyone you met on the internet" with the nick you have Mar 03 14:43:25 http://www.duncanchannon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/free-candy-van.jpg Mar 03 14:48:48 is it possible to cancel a ringtone played by the system? Mar 03 14:53:11 seems legit Mar 03 14:53:23 Yes, yes Mar 03 14:53:26 of course, Kake_Fisk Mar 03 15:11:20 On Android I can't just write a file to the root directory? Mar 03 15:13:17 Kake_Fisk: no, you cant. Mar 03 15:13:38 Ge0rG, after mounting it as r/w-able? Mar 03 15:14:01 ah, then that's probably why I get the error Mar 03 15:14:27 zhongfu: not even then, unless you run your app as root Mar 03 15:14:42 IF Mar 03 15:14:43 I'm not sure where to write the file then. Maybe to the sd card? Mar 03 15:14:45 ah, okay Mar 03 15:14:49 Kake_Fisk, yep Mar 03 15:14:57 But if there is no memory card? Mar 03 15:15:01 how about .appnameconfig Mar 03 15:15:05 Kake_Fisk, like the galaxy nexus? Mar 03 15:15:12 the galaxy nexus has a virtual SD card Mar 03 15:15:16 mounted at /sdcard Mar 03 15:15:22 or /mnt/sdcard Mar 03 15:15:27 If I remove my sd card, there will be no sd card Mar 03 15:15:46 don't you write it to the data directory Mar 03 15:15:48 or something Mar 03 15:15:51 like in /data/data Mar 03 15:15:53 e.g. Mar 03 15:16:10 Is there some kind of open file dialog on Android? Mar 03 15:16:16 /data/data/com.kake_fisk.derpapp.paid/derpherpderp Mar 03 15:16:21 galaxy SII has /mnt/sdcard as internal storage and /mnt/sdcard/external_sd or something as the SD card itself Mar 03 15:16:31 Kake_Fisk, yes.. hmmmm Mar 03 15:16:36 took a while to figure that out :P Mar 03 15:16:37 on ICS, there is Mar 03 15:16:45 if you open a pdf for example Mar 03 15:16:47 ~ICS Mar 03 15:16:51 android will ask you to choose a reader Mar 03 15:16:59 adobe reader, builtin reader, docstogo etc Mar 03 15:17:15 Okay, because I wanted to let the user chose where he wants to save the file he makes Mar 03 15:17:42 OH Mar 03 15:17:43 that... Mar 03 15:17:45 well... Mar 03 15:17:48 Kake_Fisk, no Mar 03 15:17:52 that's when you OPEN a pdf Mar 03 15:17:53 ah, okay :| Mar 03 15:17:56 or any file Mar 03 15:18:02 Kake_Fisk, lemme check docstogo Mar 03 15:18:05 and see how they do it Mar 03 15:18:14 I guess I'll just let the user write the filename Mar 03 15:18:22 hmm Mar 03 15:18:25 I am having problems with setting up the SDK on Netbeans: The files in /res/layout are not automatically included in R.layout, so I can for example not set the view to main.xml Mar 03 15:18:46 Are you importing the right R? Mar 03 15:22:28 android.R? Mar 03 15:22:53 No, your.package.R Mar 03 15:23:05 Never ever import android.R, it only leads to confusion Mar 03 15:23:18 Ah Mar 03 15:23:26 Well, that would explain it, thanks Mar 03 15:28:00 Can't I just use openFileOutput for writing files? Mar 03 15:28:23 Then it would be written in the right folder Mar 03 15:29:19 Yes, that's the point of those helper methods. You should never need to hardcode the path Mar 03 15:29:32 okay, nice. I'll try that Mar 03 15:30:07 Only thing is that I have to pass the activity around all the time :| Mar 03 15:32:26 Hi people. I'd like when doing a fast scrolling to show a hint on the user about how far he has scrolled Mar 03 15:32:34 like display a date Mar 03 15:32:38 or a page number Mar 03 15:32:43 is it doable? Mar 03 15:33:26 Kake_Fisk, Mar 03 15:35:48 Any other way to get the context? A static member or something? Mar 03 15:35:57 no Mar 03 15:35:58 nonono Mar 03 15:36:12 why? Mar 03 15:36:21 I mean, you said "nononono" Mar 03 15:36:36 I mean, sure, you can. But that's a memory leak waiting to happen Mar 03 15:36:52 oh Mar 03 15:37:09 I don't see how Java can have memory leeks Mar 03 15:37:11
