**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 29 02:59:58 2012 Apr 29 03:00:48 if you were to use pixels, a layout that looked good on a medium density screen would be twice as small on an extra-high density screen even though both may be the same physical size (like a 4" phone) Apr 29 03:01:05 ah gotcha Apr 29 03:01:19 does this hold for desktop graphics design as well? Apr 29 03:01:36 i've always wondered how different screen resolutions were accounted for Apr 29 03:02:43 I've never done desktop design so I'm not sure Apr 29 03:03:01 nah depth independent pixels is just an android thing Apr 29 03:03:45 how are layouts done on iPhones with respect to retina and non-retina devices? Apr 29 03:03:46 if your doing openGL programming or something they might have their own constants to scale the image but I've always handled it myself Apr 29 03:04:50 haha retina devices eh? Apr 29 03:05:10 like the Futurama eyePhone? Apr 29 03:07:50 i was thinking more like this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apple Apr 29 03:09:53 Would it be too difficult to write an app that attaches to google talk, and if it sees a received message that contains a certain string, then it plays an alarm? I'd like to play an alarm if somebody writes me "beep" Apr 29 03:09:56 this is what I was referring to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaHUpWuqNHY Apr 29 03:10:23 or, is the source of gtalk available to modify it and add that feature? Can you write scripts for it? Apr 29 03:10:47 gtalk is just XMPP Apr 29 03:11:19 no source, no scripts Apr 29 03:11:23 you'd have to write your own client Apr 29 03:19:14 hey would you recommend using cookies to manage authentication sessions? Apr 29 03:20:24 I would like to keep things simple and it's not a production app so I'm thinking I could just use class variables to Apr 29 03:20:32 too* Apr 29 03:21:30 need more info Apr 29 03:21:37 SharedPreferences sounds like a better solution Apr 29 03:21:45 yeah Apr 29 03:22:04 the API you recommended that I uses puts cookies into SharedPreferences Apr 29 03:22:36 I can't type today... Apr 29 03:25:11 how does the k9 uplink killer work Apr 29 03:31:49 lnxmad, ping? Earlier I asked about storing a value for my entire app in a single place and you suggested a singleton - i.e. Util.getDomain() - I'm having trouble finding docs on building that, any ideas / Apr 29 03:32:04 Do I just extend Util ? Apr 29 03:33:24 why don't you just use a public static final Sting in a Constants class? Apr 29 03:34:45 JakeWharton, will that be accessible by all of my other classes? without any special extensions ? Apr 29 03:34:52 yes Apr 29 03:34:58 i.e. I can just create myAppConstants and import it in all classes - ok Apr 29 03:35:06 that makes sense - as long as it's the right way to do it Apr 29 03:35:07 :) Apr 29 03:35:12 Thanks JakeWharton Apr 29 03:36:09 It's right enough Apr 29 03:36:15 certainly not wrong Apr 29 03:36:38 right on Apr 29 03:38:32 for periodically forcing updates (eg. in a game), is there a better way than using a Handler and sendMessageDelayed()? Apr 29 03:59:34 How can I make an a textview in a listview appear 'disabled'? (greyed out?) Apr 29 04:01:56 What can I do to promote my app? Apr 29 04:02:41 I'm a student and don't have any money to spend on ads Apr 29 04:08:54 FunnyLookinHat, have you researched singletons at all? Apr 29 04:09:25 My android emulator isn't working when I turn on GPU emulation. It just shows either a black screen or freezes at the android logo. anybody else get this? I'm on windows and have an nvidia gpu Apr 29 04:10:07 Try booting it first without it. Booting then with it it on worked for me. Apr 29 04:10:25 tried that, no luck Apr 29 04:10:41 my GPU doesnt have optimus, which I read is an issue Apr 29 04:12:51 lnxmad, not really - but the class solution for constants seems to work nicely Apr 29 04:13:09 I'm also creating a class for all of my request functions - rather than half-hazardly dumping them into the activities they belong to Apr 29 04:13:20 i.e. MyRequests.login(username,password) Apr 29 04:13:26 So it trends nicely Apr 29 04:13:43 so they are static methods? Apr 29 04:14:25 err - they are now. Apr 29 04:14:26 :) Apr 29 04:14:38 What does making a method static do in Java ? Apr 29 04:14:50 o.o Apr 29 04:14:59 :D Apr 29 04:15:23 are you FunkyHat from #ubuntu-offtopic Apr 29 04:15:32 no Apr 29 04:15:35 No!?? Apr 29 04:15:36 I'm kidding about the static though Apr 29 04:15:42 FunnyLookinHat all the way Apr 29 04:15:49 I'm in #ubuntu, #ubuntu-us, and #ubuntu-us-co usually Apr 29 04:17:35 FunnyLookinHat, so you worked it all out I assume? Apr 29 04:17:48 lnxmad, yeah - just going to use some static helper classes Apr 29 04:17:50 Thanks though! Apr 29 04:18:08 a singleton works in a simillar way Apr 29 04:18:27 -only a single instance of a class. one that can be reach everywhere Apr 29 04:18:35 I'd like my text to appear greyed out - what would be the best way to setting it, besides using a hard-coded color? Apr 29 04:18:36 ClassName.method() Apr 29 04:18:41 Is there any system property I can use? Apr 29 04:18:50 textColor Apr 29 04:19:05 oh wait Apr 29 04:19:15 nvm Apr 29 04:19:20 no, set the color Apr 29 04:19:38 Are you certain? Apr 29 04:19:54 is it a TextView? Apr 29 04:19:58 Yes Apr 29 04:20:05 whats so hard about changing the color? Apr 29 04:20:20 The background color might not be compatible. Apr 29 04:21:23 color theming isnt easy Apr 29 04:21:47 Yeah, hence why I'm wondering if there's a system property for this Apr 29 04:23:17 not one that will detect your background color/image and apply the correct color Apr 29 04:23:48 hey - if a static method is returning an object - do I need to initialize a new object from the returned one or can I use it as is? i.e. is it lost once the object is returned ? Apr 29 04:24:13 this is a wee bit different than PHP - which is the other half of what I'm building right now :) Apr 29 04:24:17 and PHP is super lazy. Apr 29 04:24:40 Java is pass by value Apr 29 04:25:00 ah ok thx Apr 29 04:28:40 hi all, I'm having an issue with missing proguard.cfg when I'm creating a new android project. This didn't happen a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone give a definitive solution for fixing this? Apr 29 04:29:55 are your sdk tools up to date? Apr 29 04:30:01 lnxmad, yes Apr 29 04:31:08 lnxmad, wait you mean the android sdk or eclipse sdk? Apr 29 04:31:21 both Apr 29 04:31:29 well Apr 29 04:31:46 the sdk tools must be updated Apr 29 04:32:01 but then eclipse most liekly needs most recent version of adt Apr 29 04:32:29 lnxmad, I'm on version 18 of the ADT Apr 29 04:32:37 lnxmad, that's this month ... Apr 29 04:34:25 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4444818/proguard-cfg-missing Apr 29 04:35:51 with REST transactions do you need to send a token in the headers everytime to validate a login session? Apr 29 04:36:20 for every request Apr 29 04:45:51 anyone know why no one has made anything to run iphone apps on android? Apr 29 04:46:26 why would they do that when there's programs like phoneGap? Apr 29 04:47:11 Objective C is significantly different than Java Apr 29 04:47:11 uhh maybe so people with android can run iphone apps? Apr 29 04:47:29 yes it is, but i have included C libraries in my apps before Apr 29 04:47:57 surely some sort of Objective C vm could be loaded Apr 29 04:48:27 it would be slow Apr 29 04:48:32 and probably buggy Apr 29 04:49:20 anyone with an idea about my gpu emulation issue? the emulator is almost unusable at this state Apr 29 04:49:32 djshotglass: in theory possible, in practice a) :effort: b) some Apple lawyer will sue the fuck out of you c) :effort: Apr 29 04:51:37 djshotglass: you're talking crazy now :) Apr 29 04:52:13 if you want to run iphone apps, get an iphone :D Apr 29 04:52:38 sooooo any ideas of how to handle RESTful Authentication through android? Apr 29 04:52:39 hello, I am having problems with playing shoutcast streams continously in Android 2.3.3 which has builtin support for them. My issue is that the stream will play for like 4 minutes on a real phone and then just quit. I setup listeners of the media player object and saw that the onCompletionListener was being called. Anyone know how to do continous live audio streaming on Android and to Apr 29 04:52:39 avoid having to reset media player object each time it terminates early? Apr 29 04:53:08 multimedia on android == hurt Apr 29 04:56:22 @g00s : is audio streaming really difficult thing to achieve ? are there any third-party library that you know which provide alternative multimedia implementations on android ? Apr 29 04:57:10 jervisfm: i'm not sure, i just constantly hear of people having problems with the media frameworks Apr 29 04:59:11 yeah, i have audio playing at the moment but there are hiccups in between when the media player stops playing and completes Apr 29 04:59:30 so nobody cares about REST here? :/ Apr 29 05:01:44 nlaveck: i'm not sure about the authentication aspects Apr 29 05:02:15 ughh Apr 29 05:02:19 wish Jake was here Apr 29 05:02:25 he's probably hiding from me Apr 29 05:02:38 lol Apr 29 05:04:26 if I want to send data from my android app (for example my current location) to a server, which are the best options to do it ? Apr 29 05:05:50 kulas: you should have the app print it out so you can fax it Apr 29 05:07:46 pragma: but I send it in HTTP protocol for example? Apr 29 05:22:54 this story on the verge about wozniak and wp7, android, and iOS generated a shitstorm of comments! Apr 29 05:26:26 is this more old news g00s? Apr 29 05:28:27 Android has tiled home screen apps... Apr 29 05:35:14 hi all, I'm trying to run an app I've developed in Eclipse using an AVD on my Samsung Galaxy Note. I'm running Windows 7, I've installed the drivers from samsung, and verified the device is connected using platform-tools/adb.exe Apr 29 05:37:13 according to http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html i should "run or debug your application as usual. You will be presented with a Device Chooser dialog that lists the available emulator(s) and connected device(s). ", but this isn't happening. Eclipse is just starting up an AVD. I'm running Eclipse as admin, and I've tried creating a new run config.. any advice? Apr 29 05:38:14 Under run config, set it to manual Apr 29 05:38:51 AbelianHorizon: thanks so much, that worked :D Apr 29 05:39:02 Yeah yeah Apr 29 05:56:39 anyone awake? Apr 29 06:00:22 Yup Apr 29 06:01:14 nope Apr 29 06:01:17 not a single person Apr 29 06:01:19 anywhere Apr 29 06:01:22 What are you working on with REST nlaveck? Apr 29 06:11:30 hello Apr 29 06:12:36 I'm having some trouble with http basic auth... primarily in that it doesn't seem to be working. I get "Authentication Error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}" Apr 29 06:14:24 Hmm - getting "04-29 00:13:41.261: E/AndroidRuntime(5470): Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity" even though I have the mime4j libs included - Apr 29 06:19:26 oh people are awake Apr 29 06:19:49 i'm trying to fill a jshortArray from a JNI thread and to GetShortArrayElements() from that array in another JNI thread, but somehow the array values don't seem to change: https://github.com/Libvisual/LibVisualAndroid/blob/input_android/jni/libvisual/libvisual-plugins/plugins/input/android_AudioRecord/AudioRecordJNI.c does anyone have a clue what could be wrong? Apr 29 06:19:50 I'm working on creating a Client / Server app Apr 29 06:20:16 Jake told me to use this: http://loopj.com/android-async-http/ Apr 29 06:20:47 but I've never done REST before so I'm reading stuff and it looks really confusing Apr 29 06:20:58 the Array is allocated in AudioRecord_init(), written in AudioRecord_readThread() and AudioRecord_lockBuf/unlockBuf() return the pointers to the jshort * buffer... Apr 29 06:27:56 can I suppose that int16_t == jshort ? Apr 29 06:28:21 i get no compiler warning with -Wall tho Apr 29 06:35:28

hi, any1 knows how to add scroll to a dynamic adding rows table? Apr 29 06:38:51 wrap the view in ScrollView and it should scroll automatically Apr 29 06:47:41

I've tried it.. it didn't work. Apr 29 08:18:49 One thing I haven't quite understood, is how I can "start" my Path on x,y instead of 0,0 as an uninitialized instance + lineTo(x, y) starts off at 0,0 Apr 29 08:26:15 moveTo(x,y)? Apr 29 08:27:51 tors: Well, doesn't that start off on 0,0? Or did I misread the docs? :-) Apr 29 08:27:55 * n20 checks again Apr 29 08:35:52 canadiancow: i don't think its too old :) Apr 29 08:47:59 tors: I can't believe I missed that one, or the functionality of it. I supposed it would be angry at me if I did it on an "empty" Path. Apr 29 08:48:08 tors: Thanks :) Apr 29 08:48:18 canadiancow: Mooh Apr 29 08:49:48 yeah, one wouldn't want to anger the Path :) Apr 29 08:52:53 tors: Path seems a lot better than manually drawing lines from x1 to x2 Apr 29 09:07:04 is it possible to run SDK with emulator on PIII with 400MB RAM ? Apr 29 09:07:12 Hi all Apr 29 09:07:56 elkng: provided you have enough swap space, yes, but its no fun. Apr 29 09:24:39 I wrote the following Android.mk for freetype: http://paste.ubuntu.com/954561/ Apr 29 09:24:40 but when I run ndk-build nothing happens Apr 29 09:24:45 any ideas? Apr 29 09:25:07 I _love_ SSL. Playstore won't work on my tablet due to "No connection". The reason is, when the tablet lost power, it resets its date to 01/2009, which is before Google's chat service cert was valid /o\ Apr 29 09:44:04 anyone tried to build freetype for android?

When I press the button saying "Dial Menu", it pops up with a box saying "Unfortunately, Test has stopped" Apr 29 11:04:35 mad1231999: Explain what you have done as well. I guess you are making an app called "Test"? Apr 29 11:05:16 I was coming to that part now. I have 2 classes, one called Test.java, and another one called CallMenu.java Apr 29 11:06:08 In the Test.java, I have a button, and when it get's clicked I call startActivity(new Intent("com.mads.test.CALLMENU")); Apr 29 11:06:26 (the package is name com.mads.test) Apr 29 11:06:47 If you wan't to see the source code, here it is http://pastebin.com/g8BcCb0c Apr 29 11:07:22 mad1231999: What does logcat say? Apr 29 11:07:35 Shall I pastebin it?

Apr 29 11:08:52 Look at the pastebin link, at the bottom Apr 29 11:09:20 put also the intent filter to that activity. with .DEFAULT instead of .LAUNCHER Apr 29 11:09:35 Ok Apr 29 11:09:55 No need to change your manifest Apr 29 11:10:12 Not even if I have multiple Activities? Apr 29 11:10:22 You already added your activity Apr 29 11:10:38 I don't know why they're suggesting you change anything in it Apr 29 11:10:39 Where? Apr 29 11:10:45 Your intent is wrong, as I already said Apr 29 11:10:52 I did change it Apr 29 11:10:55 And it works Apr 29 11:11:07 But not when I hit the button saying "Call" Apr 29 11:12:24 new Intent(ct,Activity.class); Apr 29 11:13:05 for example new Intent(ct,com.mads.test.callmenu.class); Apr 29 11:14:49 Windows: I did that Apr 29 11:16:47 Brb Apr 29 11:35:10 so, is there a way i can override Apr 29 11:35:15 the lock screen? Apr 29 11:36:45 If it comes down to that, you're asking the wrong question. Apr 29 11:42:15 Back Apr 29 11:49:32 <`z> WindowsNT, why would you ask Apr 29 11:49:51 <`z> o.o Apr 29 11:50:04 <`z> well, maybe add your app as a device administrator Apr 29 11:50:05 <`z> maybe Apr 29 12:28:37 Hello folks, is possible in java to import different modules per platform? Apr 29 12:28:45 For example I want to import modules android.* only for android and for window/linux use awt to display Apr 29 12:29:39 i dont think so Apr 29 13:22:36 So what's the difference between EF17 and EF24? Apr 29 13:23:12 7 Apr 29 13:27:52 What? Apr 29 13:58:25 hi all, I'm writing an app that requires making a Http get call. I know that this should be kept out of the main UI thread. But I'm new to Android and not sure if I should be using AsyncTask or Services. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Apr 29 13:58:54 asysntask generally Apr 29 14:02:34 Jug6ernaut, thanks. So does the async task allow the UI be responsive while its processing things queue in the background ? Apr 29 14:02:52 yep Apr 29 14:02:57 thats whats awesome about it Apr 29 14:03:27 Jug6ernaut, have you been doing android for long? Apr 29 14:03:41 about 1.5 years now Apr 29 14:04:29 Jug6ernaut, nice, any advice for someone who's just starting out ? ie how to be more productive? Apr 29 14:05:08 produtive? naa, that all depends on what you are doing. If i had to sayone thing is polish, polish, polish Apr 29 14:05:21 Jug6ernaut, I find eclipse to be a little complicated now. do you prefer command line or through eclipse? Apr 29 14:05:29 noo Apr 29 14:05:38 Jug6ernaut, no ? Apr 29 14:05:38 eclipse while it blows, is still a must imo Apr 29 14:05:45 Jug6ernaut, why? Apr 29 14:06:22 any one of a million reasons, auto completion, organization, refactoring, building apks. Streamlines everything Apr 29 14:06:48 ok Apr 29 14:07:36 Jug6ernaut, thanks Apr 29 14:07:44 np Apr 29 14:15:21 Okay, I have connected the tablet with my pc via a USB cable, and the USB storage mode has also activated, so how to access the storage on the tablet on my computer? Apr 29 14:16:49 Pip, it should show up as a USB drive Apr 29 14:16:51 what OS ? Apr 29 14:16:57 Linux Apr 29 14:17:03 Distro ? Apr 29 14:17:07 Arch Apr 29 14:17:13 hm Apr 29 14:17:17 Should be showing up in Nautlius Apr 29 14:17:27 You've clicked the button on the tablet to enable it right? Apr 29 14:17:38 The one that says "Turn on USB Storage" ? Apr 29 14:18:22 Yes Apr 29 14:18:29 Well, let me recheck Apr 29 14:31:09 How is it possible for me to get a "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity" if I'm able to import the MultipartEntity package without any error? I have the java libs all included and referenced in build paths... Apr 29 14:34:22 this class (MultipartEntity) is not part of the apache httpclient part of the Android runtime Apr 29 14:36:07 bubbleguuum, I know - but I imported extra jars to support it... Apr 29 14:37:02 you can't Apr 29 14:37:36 if you want to do that you need to repackage the apache http client jars you are using (with jarjar) and reference that in your code Apr 29 14:41:23 bubbleguuum, wha? seriously? hmm Apr 29 14:41:52 Is there any support for HttpPost requests w/ file payloads built into Android? I could have sworn I did this before with earlier versions of this library. Apr 29 14:47:50 FunnyLookinHat: yes seriously. if you need apache HttpComponents features, repackage the current version and be done with it. forget the version included in the SDK. It is old buggy and unmaintained and incomplete Apr 29 14:48:41 Google should never have included it in the first place Apr 29 14:55:13 Hi , I am trying to get src of a android app to compile in eclipse - i got the source of git - started a new project from existing source - and i am stumped on errors : the import cannot be resolved : import org.apache.http.entity.mime.HttpMultipartMode; - where do i get the JAR/file for this and more importantly - how do i add it to the priject to be referenced correctly ? Apr 29 15:04:10 Well, I was trying to update from EB28 to EF17 via an update file downloaded from xda, I put it in /sdcard and enter Recovery mode "apply update from sdcard" but it failed: failed to verify whole-file signature Apr 29 15:04:14 Any ideas?

Apr 29 15:30:50 http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-formstuff.html#RatingBar Apr 29 15:30:53 So far I have tried to use a single ImageView but I'm not sure how to re-use this layout when the star rating is >= 2 Apr 29 15:31:21 hi Apr 29 15:31:52 is there a way to send to an sms the msg received on whatsapp ? Apr 29 15:37:42 SimonVT, thanks Apr 29 15:44:43 Hi , I am trying to get src of a android app to compile in eclipse - i got the source of git - started a new project from existing source - and i am stumped on errors : the import cannot be resolved : import org.apache.http.entity.mime.HttpMultipartMode; - where do i get the JAR/file for this and more importantly - how do i add it to the priject to be referenced correctly ? Apr 29 15:45:56 apache commons jar Apr 29 15:46:12 simply copy the file somewhere into your project, right click and select 'add to build path' Apr 29 15:46:19 from some submenu Apr 29 15:46:32 err, not apache commons Apr 29 15:46:35 apache http lib Apr 29 15:47:18 thanks MD - let me go try that .. Apr 29 15:47:24 aCilnv, you can do it! :) Apr 29 15:47:44 oh i do wish i could - like thomas the tank engine :P Apr 29 15:47:58 Hi - Anyone here use Eclipse with the ADK? Haven't used it for a long time - in the Graphical layout view I have a picker of widgets on the left, then the view in the right but I think I used to have a property inspector over on the right. Can't find this inspector now. Anyone know where to look for it? Apr 29 15:49:56 Ah found it - the property inspector is called "Outline" ;-) Obvious really... Apr 29 15:50:13 D: Apr 29 15:50:23 SmashCat, I had never noticed it before myself :) Apr 29 15:50:52 adamDavis: Yeah I think I found it by accident in one of Eclipses thousands of menus :-) Apr 29 15:51:31 There's a kitchen sink thrown in there too - heh Apr 29 15:51:50 ah great, i just finished breakfast so the dishes need to be cleaned D: Apr 29 15:53:24 dishes? pft, just eat out of the packaging. Apr 29 15:53:57 I tried that with raw chicken once - it didn't end well Apr 29 15:54:00 Hi, I've got the following Problem: I have an App with 4 Activities. I switch between these Activies with Buttons but now i also want to swipe between these actities, is there any way to realize something like this? (sorry for the bad english) Apr 29 15:59:22 Krid86 i wouldnt really use activities for that Apr 29 15:59:27 maybe something like a ViewPager Apr 29 16:01:49 you mean, i should put the 4 activities into 1? Apr 29 16:10:13 So having added the httpmime-4.1.3 jar to the build path of my uncompiled app in eclipse - and now i get this error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: Lorg/apache/http/annotation/GuardedBy ..any ideas ? Apr 29 16:10:46 and i can't see where it's been added before .. ? Apr 29 16:56:20 My android emulator isn't working when I turn on GPU emulation. It just shows either a black screen or freezes at the android logo. anybody else get this? I'm on windows and have an nvidia gpu Apr 29 16:58:35 are you sure it's not just really slow? Apr 29 16:59:21 zpmorgan, without gpu emulation it works fine Apr 29 16:59:28 slow, albeit fine Apr 29 17:13:45 Can an AutoCompleteTV share an adapter with, say a listView? Apr 29 17:14:06 for some reason, whenever I hit the threshold of the autocomplete, the items disappear from my listView Apr 29 17:28:31 is there a way to send to an sms the msg received on whatsapp ? Apr 29 17:35:54 "emulator: Can't start OpenGLES renderer?" Apr 29 17:39:59 Anyone know how to set the font color for a custom spinner? I've created a theme with android:spinnerStyle setting the background using a 9-patch PNG. However I can't set the font color for the spinner selector button. The list (when it's open) is just the default colour which is fine. Apr 29 17:40:30 I've tried using #ffffff in the style for the spinner but it has no effect Apr 29 17:41:02 (problem is the background is black, and the default black text is unreadable, obviously) Apr 29 17:45:14 I have an app with a webview and I want users to be able to save some pages as favorites that can later be retrieved from a list or something. My problem right now is that I can't think of how I could save the favorites in a way that I could populate a listview from them later. Have any of you guys done something like this or have a suggestion of what I could try? Apr 29 17:50:39 is there a way to say, register a KeyEvent.Callback with an activity? Apr 29 17:50:44 Hmm, so to change the font color in a spinner, I need to create the whole thing programmatically with a custom textview container for each cell. Cool Apr 29 17:51:25 Guess I'm a bit spoiled with having properties to change simple attributes ;-) Apr 29 17:55:00 pastie was bumped twice last night :o Apr 29 17:56:08 dd Apr 29 17:56:10 whats wrong with my onclick listeners http://pastebin.com/m0D2BGpn Apr 29 17:56:23 ddos Apr 29 17:56:29 what should be wrong there? Apr 29 17:57:15 everythingWorks: what does logcat say? Apr 29 17:57:28 brx_ dominicdinada ? Apr 29 17:57:41 ok Apr 29 17:57:51 brx_ a lot, but why do you ask me? ;) Apr 29 17:57:58 Im not having an issue right now :P Apr 29 17:57:58 sory wrong highlight :> Apr 29 17:58:11 both on click listeners emailButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { Apr 29 17:58:15 and setviews Apr 29 17:59:17 this is not even a problem description, sorry. Apr 29 17:59:26 ummm Apr 29 17:59:34 logcat gives nothing Apr 29 17:59:40 cause it wont run Apr 29 17:59:42 at all Apr 29 18:04:36 brx_: ??? Apr 29 18:05:50 how can i reference externally defined themes in my androidmanifest file? Apr 29 18:06:19 for example i want to give an activity a actionbar sherlock theme: Apr 29 18:06:20 public void onClick(View v) { Apr 29 18:06:20 launchEmailToIntent(""); removing the overide might fix it Apr 29 18:06:29 does gpu emulation not work on windows or something Apr 29 18:06:38 i cannot for the life of me get it to work, ever Apr 29 18:06:45 android:theme="Theme.Sherlock.NoActionBar" … but the editor complains about string typed not allowed Apr 29 18:06:53 saz: not all gpus are supported Apr 29 18:07:06 generally, it should work on windows, yes. Apr 29 18:07:29 everythingWorks, on my nvidia gpu I just get a black screen Apr 29 18:07:50 if you actually get a black screen, then its definitely not supported. :/ Apr 29 18:08:16 Maybe you should create an "issue thread" at the pending google group concerned about this. Apr 29 18:08:29 if nvidia gpus arent supported, wat *are* Apr 29 18:08:32 <_|_> please make this channel +r Apr 29 18:08:41 <_|_> as in +r to join Apr 29 18:08:41 intel? ati? Apr 29 18:08:53 SiS! Apr 29 18:09:00 SiS is the BEST! Apr 29 18:09:30 Sazpaimon: It just says your special gpu is not supported, not the whole family. Apr 29 18:10:36 maybe laptop GPUs arent supported Apr 29 18:11:32 even though my notebook uses a high end gpu, GTX 570M Apr 29 18:16:35 Sazpaimon: which is probably disconnected from display and the emulator goes for whatever embedded stuff you have? (if it's an intel laptop, at least) Apr 29 18:19:36 bubbleguuum, I figured it out - I'm using the Apache versions... but they weren't being included correctly ( even though I added them to build path ) - but adding them to /libs/ within my project fixed it. Go figure: http://tools.android.com/recent/dealingwithdependenciesinandroidprojects Apr 29 18:20:05 p_l, it's not an optimus gpu Apr 29 18:20:09 thank god Apr 29 18:37:04 hmm... anyone here actually used MonoDroid in anger? Apr 29 19:01:36 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3906277 Apr 29 19:04:37 how do u force it to build the R file there is zero errors GRRRRRRRRRR Apr 29 19:05:29 dominicdinada: rm your gen/ directory Apr 29 19:05:35 or clean your project Apr 29 19:05:49 ok :) ty will try Apr 29 19:07:27 ok heres the thing match_parent was working for me and today it decicded to pfffft Apr 29 19:07:47 Folks, the repo command that has been running for the past three hours just started hanging right after downloading everything Apr 29 19:07:49 At the same time you decided to build against api7? Apr 29 19:08:11 if I ctrl-c out of it then rerun it, will it have to go download everything again? Apr 29 19:09:52 dang Apr 29 19:09:54 g00s, what is considered "proprietary android" Apr 29 19:09:55 it does Apr 29 19:10:00 like i can see amazon falling under that category Apr 29 19:10:02 but not samsung Apr 29 19:10:08 canadiancow|work: yes, amazon Apr 29 19:10:15 but the chart for market share doesnt make sense Apr 29 19:10:21 samsung may not be "huge", but its by no means small Apr 29 19:10:46 chart made sense to me, amazon has the greatest android tablet share to date Apr 29 19:11:00 if samsung pulled an amazon, it would be a huge mess :) Apr 29 19:11:16 (that has beenspeculation for a while, but it hasn't happened yet - thankfully) Apr 29 19:11:44 isnt samsung an even larger distributor than than Nokia these days Apr 29 19:11:57 enthdegree: yes Apr 29 19:13:07 but if samsung did that, google could just stop Apr 29 19:13:24 and then youd have incompatible samsung, amazon, etc, versions Apr 29 19:13:41 right now it only works because getting an app to work on amazon just requires some in app billing changes Apr 29 19:13:58 "Google could take full control of Android, by not releasing future versions to open source and changing licensing terms." Apr 29 19:14:03 canadiancow|work: there are some api differences, though - apis that are missing. the kindle does not pass CTS Apr 29 19:14:10 what apis are missing? Apr 29 19:14:28 i think some regarding geolocation, for one. maybe the accelerometer Apr 29 19:15:16 does it have an accelerometer? Apr 29 19:15:19 are android devices required to? Apr 29 19:15:22 regardless Apr 29 19:15:23 g00s, the accelerometer works Apr 29 19:15:27
