**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 03 02:59:59 2012 Aug 03 03:09:00 Is it better to send a bundle in this case, or just call a function that I pass the variable (object) through Aug 03 03:09:07 when dealing with the fragment Aug 03 03:21:25 is failing ot load libGL.so* a problem? Aug 03 03:21:47 Actually, maybe I should ask what is the best way to share a resource (such as a list) between fragments. Would it be the method of creating a class that extends application such as (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/708012/android-how-to-declare-global-variables) or by passing the list as an argument to the fragments. Aug 03 03:22:27 neverminf Aug 03 03:23:15 The only other option is a singleton, which I am currently using Aug 03 03:24:09 ugh SDKs take so long to download. Aug 03 03:24:41 that's what she said Aug 03 03:25:52 anyone have an idea? Aug 03 03:26:03 lol Aug 03 03:26:24 epsilonorion: here you go: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html Aug 03 03:26:41 * JesusFreke ducks Aug 03 03:27:08 JesusFreke: and it already begins........ Aug 03 03:27:37 NBC coverage of the Olympics is pitiful Aug 03 03:27:44 ^ Aug 03 03:28:30 Okay I got everything running fine on the helloworld app, but on the virtual device nothing shows up, and it recognizes my android device but it won't let me go further and load the program on the device, just only lights up OK on the virtual device. Anyone know whats going on? Aug 03 03:28:45 Why is eclipse being so crappy on me. Aug 03 03:34:43 Argh. I'm trying to implement a scrolling background/image map in my app. Currently using the Horizontal Scroll View, however, I need to know where my background/image is when scroll stops. Is there something better to contain this? Aug 03 03:44:03 i mofoing got hello world to work bitches. Aug 03 03:44:09 WHatcha you gonna do now Aug 03 03:44:11 huh Aug 03 03:44:26 ... Aug 03 03:44:45 Import > click play? Aug 03 03:44:50 <_genuser_> hello people. Aug 03 03:44:53 not for me of course. Aug 03 03:45:10 I had corrupt files, incorrect build paths. Aug 03 03:45:32 It own't recognize my android device, it reads it, but it won't let me go ok with it after i build the program. Aug 03 03:49:51 <_genuser_> android sqlite users, do you create a new database on first run or do you deploy an already setup database with the app? Aug 03 04:03:39 For anyone who works with fragments, do you usually create them through XML or progaramatically Aug 03 04:04:32 <_genuser_> first time working with fragments. Using layouts to create them. Aug 03 04:05:14 layouts in xml? Aug 03 04:05:22 <_genuser_> correct. Aug 03 04:05:30 that is what I currently do, but seems I might have to do it through code to pass arguments to them Aug 03 04:05:47 <_genuser_> to create a dynamic layout? Aug 03 04:05:54 with a service, if i want a service that can sit in the background, periodically fetch a list of 'reminder events' from the server and create a notification when one of these events is due, i would start the service and it would go run an asynctask to fetch the list, then set an alarm for either the next reminder or next poll and then sit there existing but doing nothing until the alarm goes off and a receiver sends it another intent thr Aug 03 04:06:29 Bad idea...js Aug 03 04:06:40 Polling is the fail Aug 03 04:07:02 well i figured since i know very little about services, polling would be a good place to start and i can switch to pushing later Aug 03 04:07:21 _genuser_: not specifically. I have a semi fixed layout, however, I want to send an object (waypoint class and list) to two different fragments for them to share and modify. To do this I need to use bundles, which seem to only be done through creating the fragments in code Aug 03 04:07:26 Wrong is never right Aug 03 04:08:01 My question mainly is has anyone found a way to pass bundles to a fragment created in XML Aug 03 04:08:08 or do I have to do it through code Aug 03 04:08:25 Code++ Aug 03 04:08:47 <_genuser_> epsilonorion: http://neilgoodman.net/2012/01/29/working-with-fragments-on-android-part-1/ Aug 03 04:08:49 jug6-n7: polling aside, is what i said a reasonable summation of how this thing is supposed to work Aug 03 04:09:00 <_genuser_> epsilonorion: it seems to use layouts using xml. And onCreate passes a Bundle. Aug 03 04:11:05 Stew_a async task is for activities. Just use handler or thread or runnable w/e Aug 03 04:11:30 <_genuser_> epsilonorion: or you could just pass it by creating it using: Aug 03 04:11:33 <_genuser_> static ArrayListFragment newInstance(int num) { ArrayListFragment f = new ArrayListFragment(); Bundle args = new Bundle(); args.putInt("num", num); f.setArguments(args); return f; } Aug 03 04:12:48 _genuser_: For the first part of what you are saying, I already know how to use fragments (with XML). I have three fragments running quite well right now as far as Map, List, and Video fragments work Aug 03 04:14:28 _genuser_: As for the second thing you are saying, I know that in the oncreate function in mainactivity I can create the fragment as well as a bundle to send along with it. Aug 03 04:15:55 I guess my question mainly is there a way to do both. i.e. create the fragments and layouts in XML, then in the oncreate method in mainActivity create a bundle and send it to the fragment. Though, this seems no different then just calling a function to pass a variable Aug 03 04:16:31 _genuser_: I am thinking I may just have to go the route of creating the fragments in code under the oncreate method Aug 03 04:19:12 <_genuser_> epsilonorion: I see what you're saying. I just assumed you set the layout and create the fragment in code and load the layout using an adapter and off you go. :) Aug 03 04:19:33 <_genuser_> epsilonorion: it's my first week coding android. So my ideas will be limited so far. Aug 03 04:20:16 _genuser_: hey no problem, I am only a few weeks ahead of you with some of the things I have been doing. So far I like fragments, just have to rethink the way I have been doing them as of late Aug 03 04:20:36 so far I have generated them in XML, but now it seems I will have to shift to doing them programatically in code Aug 03 04:22:28 <_genuser_> epsilonorion: got some pointers here which helped me understand fragments and listadapters. never did java before either. so this whole way of doing things is kinda new. Used to .NET. :) Aug 03 04:25:20 well, not sure how you are doing fragments, but what I am learning is that using bundles is a good way of handling persistance of values when onPause methods and such are used. Also it is the main way of generating and passing arguments from the creating activity to the fragment Aug 03 04:27:48 is it possible to set actionbar tab background to and image? i have googled for hours now... Aug 03 04:28:43 <_genuser_> epsilonorion: using fragments by extending listfragment objects. Then having the xml layout in the layout file. Aug 03 04:29:25 yeah Aug 03 04:31:31 Actually, for anyone who knows, now looking more into bundles, are bundles allowed to hold something like an Object. I am only seeing the ability to pass strings, number, booleans, etc. Aug 03 04:32:45 epsilonorion: Parcelables Aug 03 04:35:18 g00s: so basically the object class that I create needs to implement parcelables, and then I can add it to the bundle (site I found really quickly http://www.anddev.org/putting_an_object_into_a_bundle-t6431.html Aug 03 04:35:23 first method in post two Aug 03 04:39:31 g00s: am I correct in that (along with the class required methods) Aug 03 04:47:05 When I run Run on eclipse it just has a bunch of question marks on my android and it own't let me go ruther with ok forcing me ot use htemulator. Aug 03 04:47:17 It is on USB debugging, anyone know what he problem could possible be? Aug 03 04:49:06 Tracks, your user doesn't have the rights to read the /dev/foo, read up on setting up the environment on unix and udev Aug 03 04:49:26 Thank you very much Zharf. Aug 03 04:51:25 Got a question re: android:background - seems to be 'slow' to load my activity when I have the background attached, as in a noticeable pause before the activity comes up Aug 03 04:51:58 Is loading of backgrounds done on the main thread? Aug 03 04:52:49 Yes I believe so Aug 03 04:53:47 Ah ok ... that would explain the pause. Might be better to load it with an AsyncTask and set the background once it's loaded? Aug 03 04:54:04 Yeah worth a try Aug 03 04:54:10 should help Aug 03 04:55:49 Yep, cool, I might even be able to scale it to the right size (if needed) before attaching it, but might need to use a ViewTreeObserver to get the view width / height before scaling it Aug 03 04:55:52 thanks Aug 03 05:12:36 hi there Aug 03 05:13:34 i have a layout like this Aug 03 05:13:44 why aren't the two radiobuttons connected? Aug 03 05:16:32 anyone have a work around for http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=33906&q=properties%20editor&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars Aug 03 05:17:59 For this statement here"SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"". Where do they find the MODE and the GROUP values to place there and how do I know its correct for me? Aug 03 05:18:16 IS it in writing udev rules? Aug 03 05:24:59 Tracks: the mode is always 666 because it's THE MARK OF THE BEAST Aug 03 05:25:06 lol Aug 03 05:28:00 If its not one thing, its another. I am working with a class implementing parcelable to be able to pass an object from main activity to multiple fragments (object is a waypoint list). The object contains an ArrayList of waypt class. Aug 03 05:28:47 When using the parcelable components, I need to write the ArrayList into the Parcel, but this is where my issue is since there is no such function. Aug 03 05:29:21 One way I see is to make my waypt class also implement parcelable, but I feel this is overkill. Aug 03 05:29:40 The other way is to break down the list into separate components, but I also feel this is crazy Aug 03 05:29:49 does anyone know of a better way to handle this? Aug 03 05:35:20 Looking online, both methods are used between making the secondary object parcelable or by breaking the ArrayList up and writing each one Aug 03 05:39:00 Do I have ot know how to write udev rules jsut get the droid working or can I root it? Aug 03 05:39:09 just got the device yesterday. Aug 03 05:39:19 nevermind its on the computer side. Aug 03 05:39:27 I really don't want to learn about writing udev rules. Aug 03 05:39:36 This is so involved and I haven't written hardly any code yet lol. Aug 03 05:49:54 if using an arrayList in parcelable should I make the object the arraylist is based on Parcelable in order to write it to the Parcel, or write it as serilizable, or break it up to multiple parts Aug 03 05:53:47 Actually, before I continue, I am trying to pass an object to a fragment using Parcelable. Is this possible if the fragment has a listener setup for it to update each fragment it uses Aug 03 06:15:40 <_genuser_> is there a way to browse the emulator's filesystem? Aug 03 06:17:59 you should be able to do it using adb, there's a file explorer tab in DDMS in eclipse if i recall Aug 03 06:18:07 _genuser_: ddms has a file browser Aug 03 06:18:56 <_genuser_> ah both helpful pointers. :) thanks guys. googling for those. hopefully the adb is more shell like. Aug 03 06:20:54 Ok, I am creating a waypoint class that extends ArrayList and is a Parcelable to be able to pass to fragments. How do I implement a Listener in the class to allow each connected fragment to be aware of the any of the other fragments using the various ArrayList functions (add, delete, etc). Aug 03 06:21:08 I am new to using listeners Aug 03 06:21:26 actually, making listeners, I have used them already for buttons, etc, in android Aug 03 06:24:55 Hi. I am subclassing the AndroidTestCase class to test a helper class. The helper class constructor requires a Context object, which used to be `this` when instantiating from an Activity. But how do I instantiate the class from a test case class? Aug 03 06:25:56 helper = new helper class()? Aug 03 06:26:42 or whatever class you are trying to instantiate Aug 03 06:27:04 Tracks: the signature of the ctor requires a Context object. like new Helper(this); when calling from within my activity (as Activity extends Context) Aug 03 06:27:53 but the android.test.AndroidTestCase does not have a Context ancestor Aug 03 06:30:25 anyone have a work around for http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=33906&q=properties%20editor&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars Aug 03 06:31:08 services are like singletons, there can only be one instance of them at any one time, right? (I.e. if i call startService and the service is already running, the intent will just get delivered to the existing service, yes?) Aug 03 06:31:40 Can anyone explain me what an arrayadapter is and why do i need to use it? the docs are not very clear on that Aug 03 06:32:21 daniel110: an arrayadapter is used to map a list or array structure onto a UI object such as a listview or gridview Aug 03 06:33:21 Stew_a: ok but i don't get the second parameter, i am following a tutorial and this is the code ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, model); Aug 03 06:33:38 so if you have a list of names for example, you could create an arrayadapter on that list, set the adapter onto a listview and the listview will display the list of names (give or take) Aug 03 06:35:35 ok thanks but i still don't get the paramters, i undestand i need to pass the contenxt and the array but what about the second paramter Aug 03 06:35:43 the adapter needs a layout to use for each item in the list (the second argument, R.layout._____) and the element in the layout to set to the value of the entry (the 3rd argument), though this is just one of the constructors Aug 03 06:35:59 is it enough to jus download Android 4.1 for development in android sdk manager? Aug 03 06:36:16 pretty much Aug 03 06:36:33 Stew_a: Ah so i could use any layout? Aug 03 06:37:58 daniel110: take a look at SimpleAdapter if you want more than just a simple textview layout for each item, or you can subclass BaseAdapter yourself Aug 03 06:38:27 ok thanks for the help i am very new to android Aug 03 06:39:03 looking for some help with android obb files and re-uploading an obb file. would anyone be able to help? Aug 03 06:39:30 <_genuser_> nice!! thanks guys for file explorer. I see the database being created. Aug 03 06:40:55 hello? Aug 03 06:43:58 hdxpete: ask a more meaningful question Aug 03 06:44:26 how can i reupload a obb file that was cut off due to a network error? Aug 03 06:44:34 I'm going to ask again what an obb file is? Aug 03 06:44:39 opaque binary blob Aug 03 06:46:05 im integrating the APK expansion file system into my program. but we uploaded the file our google console and it got cut off. and we cant find a way to upload it again. Aug 03 06:46:29 if a network error occurs are we required to make a new APK version number? Aug 03 06:46:58 hdxpete: can't you just remove it and then try again? Aug 03 06:47:20 we found no button to remove or reupload. but i dont have access to the console. Aug 03 06:47:32 if there is documentation somewhere i would really appreciate it Aug 03 06:48:08 http://developer.android.com/guide/google/play/expansion-files.html Aug 03 06:48:15 thats for developers Aug 03 06:48:28 to help them integrate the expansion file system into their programs Aug 03 06:48:37 im talking about admin documentation Aug 03 06:48:52 how to upload them/delete them from google's apk console etc. Aug 03 06:51:06 for example.... in the documentation you just sent me "Even if you only need to make changes to the patch expansion file, you must still update the APK in order for Google Play to perform an update. If you don't require code changes in the application, you should simply update the versionCode in the manifest." Aug 03 06:51:16 but in our case we arent updating the file. Aug 03 06:51:28 a network error occured and we need to publish the correct file. Aug 03 07:29:23 the twitter client for android really sucks Aug 03 07:29:46 yeap Aug 03 07:29:51 If I specify that I am going to handle configuration changes myself , a rotation of the device still rotates my views. what method call is doing this Aug 03 07:30:52 it's funny how enormous companies like twitter and facebook whose entire business is some weird-online-only shit and they can't even get mobile apps right :/ Aug 03 07:32:02 LOL yea. I like the google+ mobile app though Aug 03 07:32:12 Why do I always forget .show() when I use Toast grrr Aug 03 07:32:21 That's what lint is for :P Aug 03 07:32:47 the google+ app is really good, shame nobody uses it :< Aug 03 07:33:12 I have a lot of friends on G+ but most are not "real" friends. Aug 03 07:36:21 yeah the first party twitter app is pretty awful Aug 03 07:36:33 what does the great JW use? Aug 03 07:36:49 Plume and TweetLanes Aug 03 07:37:05 neither is perfect Aug 03 07:37:20 hopefully Carbon will be released soon Aug 03 07:37:42 or something that has someone who knows WTF a color scheme is Aug 03 07:37:46 heh Aug 03 07:39:31 I tried Slice today from OneLouder... Aug 03 07:39:42 it was pretty horrid Aug 03 07:40:06 what is the best phone Verizon offers that I'm most likely to be able to run pure Android on? Aug 03 07:40:11 Galaxy Nexus Aug 03 07:40:19 the entire app felt like I was interacting with a WebView Aug 03 07:41:04 I figured the Galaxy Nexus, just wanted to be sure Aug 03 07:41:09 be suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure Aug 03 07:41:36 what else is there to consider stork? Aug 03 07:41:49 nothing, just a gnex Aug 03 07:45:14 http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5801 Aug 03 07:46:12 :shipit: Aug 03 07:46:13 I bought a DROID4 for the awesome slide-out keyboard... but now seeing the basterdized Android 2.3 Motorola and Verizon has shat out I'm ready to get pure Android. Aug 03 07:46:33 I'm still within the 14 days so I'm taking it back. Aug 03 07:46:39 you shan't regret it Aug 03 07:48:14 get on that Jelly Bean train Aug 03 07:50:27 choo choo Aug 03 07:50:41 so it's it easy to format/install pure Android on the Nexus? do I need to use CynogenMod or can I avoid that too? Aug 03 07:51:04 it comes with stock Android Aug 03 07:51:16 well, maybe not the Verizon one… but damn close Aug 03 07:51:53 I'd like to pull Android code from Google and put it on my phone. I don't want something Verizon may have touched. :D Aug 03 07:52:22 Google releases stock images for the phone Aug 03 07:52:34 rawburt: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images Aug 03 07:52:47 thanks! Aug 03 07:54:46 anyone know why when i load my activity the view appears half way down as opposed to at the top, how do i force it to appear at top Aug 03 07:59:00 * g00s wonders if he should resist recruits' request for word doc resume and only give pdf Aug 03 07:59:39 recruit meeeeeeeeee Aug 03 08:00:44 i dont trust them, or want them to change my resume Aug 03 08:02:09 that immediately says "incompetent hr" :) Aug 03 08:02:36 I'd understand if they requested resume in LaTeX format Aug 03 08:03:15 i wouldn't :D Aug 03 08:03:15 heh, or a .ps file :) Aug 03 08:07:57 very weird... onItemSelected fires for every single item when i create a spinner.. Aug 03 08:08:12 oh ok, i get it.. it notifies me of the selection that is the default.. Aug 03 08:08:14 hmm Aug 03 08:09:23 i try to solve the following: i have a ListView with a bunch of Spinners in it.. Aug 03 08:09:43 Some of the spinner items have checkboxes.. Aug 03 08:09:52 it's all fed by data from a database.. Aug 03 08:10:12 now when the user checks an option in a spinner, i would like to update the database and have the list of spinners reflect the new state.. Aug 03 08:10:36 so right now in onItemSelected, i update the DB and call notifyDatasetChanged() on the list of spinners.. Aug 03 08:10:39 yep I think it's quite stupid behavior of spinner Aug 03 08:10:44 but this leads to an infinite regress.. Aug 03 08:10:48 but what can you do Aug 03 08:10:49 erm, recursion.. Aug 03 08:11:05 aolin: check if the selection changes? Aug 03 08:11:47 that helps yes Aug 03 08:12:10 or i could just implement a click listener for each item.. Aug 03 08:12:11 hmm Aug 03 08:25:42 JakeWharton: do you have any screenshots of HaG in action? Aug 03 08:25:50 there's a demo app Aug 03 08:26:09 i'm downloading it at the mo so i guess i'll wait Aug 03 08:26:21 so I created a new android project with the fragment layout setup. However, I am having problems setting the background color of the fragments. I can create a custom listAdapter and set the background color of it, but the fragment backcolor is still white.. I cant see where that is set.. Aug 03 08:26:23 any ideas? Aug 03 08:26:57 stork: it's pretty boring Aug 03 08:27:43 i am pretty boring Aug 03 08:29:34 there should be like a built in component for re-using toasts Aug 03 08:31:35 and i can't do colours at all. :( Aug 03 08:32:05 i get a nullpointer exception on the assignment: http://pastesite.com/40923 Aug 03 08:32:14 but the assert doens't happen... Aug 03 08:32:18 Fixed it Aug 03 08:32:47 ah it seems, normal asserts have no effect on android.. Aug 03 08:33:39 gnah, why does it make defensive programming so hard? :D Aug 03 08:35:36 Class.this can not be final? I am trying to start an new activity from a onclicklistener that is made in an anonymous-method. Aug 03 08:36:26 johanhar: just create another final variable and assign this to it? :D Aug 03 08:36:35 I did ... Aug 03 08:36:37 :( Aug 03 08:36:39 Doesn't work Aug 03 08:37:03 why does android tell me to 'avoid using px as units'? what if i only want it to be 1 pixel high Aug 03 08:38:01 If you are using pixels, they won't scale with different screen sizes Aug 03 08:39:08 that's not always a bad thing though Aug 03 08:39:13 Anyone here know how to add a browser bookmark to default_workspace.xml (in Launcher2) ? Aug 03 08:39:57 i have a scrollable text view, but its like something is interrupting the on click event so i can scroll, anyone know what could be causing something like this? Aug 03 08:40:58 I've read that ndk code does not have hardware floating point support on default, now I tested float, int16_t and int32_t, where the first two appear to be pretty much equally fast and int32_t 2.5 times slower, why is that? Aug 03 08:42:05 my surfaceview is getting surfaceDestroyed called on it when its running in background and i swipe to unlock, is there a way to detect whats caused surface to be destoryed, so i can keep it alive in this instance? or any better way? Aug 03 08:45:12 gaz no you cannot. If the view isn't visible for any reason it gets called Aug 03 08:45:24 SurfaceView that is Aug 03 08:46:18 When focus comes back, surfaceCreated will be called, usually within 100 ms Aug 03 08:46:32 ok onClick on my textview works... yet i still cant scroll on it, any ideas anyone? Aug 03 08:47:58 themirror hmm ok Aug 03 08:48:06 thanks Aug 03 08:48:55 Yeah if u have questions regarding surfaceview I'm like an expert now haha spent so much time with it Aug 03 08:55:54 so strange that a "TextView" isnt scrollable in this area, but a "EditText" is... what is up with that Aug 03 08:56:15 hi, i'm having problems inflating views, i can inflate them but the problem is when i refer to my inflated views to change the image: http://pastebin.com/9qfW8SP9 Aug 03 08:56:23 ok, after fiddling with it for a day: spinners don't work for my usecase. i'll have to hack my own multiple selection widget.. Aug 03 08:56:40 it always refers to the first inflated image: ImageView amigo_imageview3 = (ImageView)myview3.findViewById(R.id.imagen_amigo); Aug 03 08:56:50 can someone check it out ? Aug 03 08:58:00 onItemSelected callback is not called for my items with checkboxes in it.. Aug 03 08:59:29 android is such a pain sometimes.. Aug 03 09:00:08 they should have gone with a Qt java binding and some custom classes for providing widgets for a touchscreen Aug 03 09:00:18 recreating a whole UI framework is hard.. Aug 03 09:02:53 sorry for the rant... Aug 03 09:03:01 but i needed to vent Aug 03 09:03:07 with so much time spent Aug 03 09:03:10 i wish to relent Aug 03 09:03:38 I get it, you're hell bent Aug 03 09:04:07 and you? to heaven you get sent? Aug 03 09:04:35 It's cause I pay my rent Aug 03 09:04:45 for me, it's off to the devil that old friend.. Aug 03 09:04:58 And give up chocolate for lent Aug 03 09:06:22 And now all the good rhymes are spent. Aug 03 09:07:02 don't give up your booty though, mostly your hand Aug 03 09:07:09 s/mostly/at most/ Aug 03 09:07:38 but true.. no it's over with the rhymes Aug 03 09:07:43 but we had a jolly good times Aug 03 09:08:12 and in my head the echo still chimes.. Aug 03 09:08:36 but still: why doesn't onItemSelected() not get called when i have a checkbox in the view? Aug 03 09:08:39 grmlbl.. Aug 03 09:08:50 tapas, I don't need every UI element in the world, but if they had included an Apache license, I don't know, swipe from right to left to get to the next screen element, that would have been nice Aug 03 09:09:05 Instead of having a million people continually reinvent the wheel badly Aug 03 09:09:35 hi guys... anyone familiar with init.c code? Aug 03 09:10:25 i'm trying to do a execve() in the main() of init to run my own c program, is it possible to do that? Aug 03 09:11:20 i'll abandon the spinner for now and try with dialogs populated with listviews.. Aug 03 09:13:27 i'm having problems inflating views, i can inflate them but the problem is when i refer to my inflated views to change the image, must i add the view to viewgroup too ?? http://pastebin.com/9qfW8SP9 Aug 03 09:17:16 ddreamer0: one thing I believe is affecting you: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/LayoutInflater.html#inflate(int, android.view.ViewGroup) "Returns: The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied, this is the root View; otherwise it is the root of the inflated XML file." Aug 03 09:17:48 I.e. "View myView" would be the parent layout. Aug 03 09:17:54 And not an ImageView Aug 03 09:18:04 So the cast would result in nasty things. Aug 03 09:37:21 HDroid: ok but then i do a find WITHIN myView to get the child image view, wouldn't this be correct ? ImageView amigo_imageview3 = (ImageView)myview.findViewById(R.id.imagen_amigo); Aug 03 09:40:56 Is it possible to set the default activity orientation to landscape left/right? (either xml or code) Aug 03 09:41:50 android:screenOrientation="portrait" Aug 03 09:42:28 erufu: you mean android:screenOrientation="landscape"? Aug 03 09:43:13 hoangtran: yep : http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html Aug 03 09:43:20 ddreamer0: oh yes, I guess so. Aug 03 09:43:39 ddreamer0: what is the problem you're having? Aug 03 09:44:00 if so, it show 1 case of landscape, what I one is to be able to control the "orientation" of the landscape Aug 03 09:44:11 erufu: I see there''s "reverseLandscape" Aug 03 09:44:13 Imageview not updating? Aug 03 09:44:23 gonna try it ^^ Aug 03 09:45:38 HDroid: it's inflating correctly but i can only get the ID of the first inflated resource Aug 03 09:45:46 erufu: hmm, it is "Added in API level 9.", I need it on api level 7 Aug 03 09:46:07 (I'm inflating a linearlayout with imageviews, and i can only access the first imageview Aug 03 09:46:09 ) Aug 03 09:47:23 Hm yeah, they're getting the same ID I guess. Aug 03 09:47:41 too bad hoangtran, maybe with code, but i don't know how :/ Aug 03 09:47:43 anyone else think the holo edittext looks a bit.. understated? Aug 03 09:47:46 Workaround I can think of is to inflate without the root, so you get a reference to the imageview instead. Aug 03 09:47:52 (and then addChild) Aug 03 09:48:45 i tried inflate(resource, viewgroup) and inflate(resource, viewgroup, true) Aug 03 09:49:46 inflate(resource, viewgroup, false) Aug 03 09:50:26 yeah, that's what i was thinking Aug 03 09:50:59 i had tried amigos_view.addView after, but you say addChild is best right ? Aug 03 09:51:41 Oh no, addChild Aug 03 09:51:51 Coding is hard without autocomplete :P Aug 03 09:53:44 HDroid i can't addchild on my ViewGroup (amigos_view) Aug 03 09:53:59 Why not? Aug 03 09:56:12 isn't availble method Aug 03 09:56:15 ??? Aug 03 09:56:24 IT WORKED WITH ADDVIEW! Aug 03 09:56:27 heeeyhaa Aug 03 09:56:43 strange but thanks++++ Aug 03 09:56:49 brb Aug 03 10:02:53 Meh I meant to say Oh no, addView, sorry. Aug 03 10:02:58 Wasn't paying attention Aug 03 10:03:41 But glad it worked :P Aug 03 10:22:52 how long does it take to flash a system image threw fastboot? Aug 03 10:23:06 it stuck on writing "system"... Aug 03 10:24:50 is there any developer? or a channel for galaxy nexus? i got a weird problem over here.. Aug 03 10:25:23 #android-root ? Aug 03 10:26:05 i ll try there too.. thanks Aug 03 10:32:47 if i have a local service that makes network requests and stores the result, and i have an adapter that needs access to that data which is attached to a fragment which can be attached to one of a couple of activities, all of which bind to the service in onCreate, how can i connect the adapter to the service's data if the service isn't bound yet in the activity's onCreate Aug 03 10:35:31 Stew_a: you call the code from onServiceConnected Aug 03 10:37:17 you mean don't create the fragments until the service has bound? Aug 03 10:38:00 well, you can't touch the service until it is bound. Aug 03 10:38:08 Creating fragments is fine, though. Aug 03 10:40:00 What architectural solution you implement is up to you. Personally I would bet I'd not even use a bound service for the task, knowing not much else about it. Aug 03 10:41:34 Hello android devs, i know there is a way to set background for tabs with tabwidget, but when using actionbar tabs how do you set the background of the tab? cant figure it out... Aug 03 10:42:19 I am trying to make an app that listens for specific network data.. But not sure how to accomplish that.. I have a program that broadcasts data on a certain format to the local network Aug 03 10:42:36 and I want my android app to detect the data and determine the source IP Aug 03 10:42:54 anyone have any idea how to get that working? Aug 03 10:43:11 fn0rd: it IS an architectural problem i've just made a bit of a mess with my architecture, but i don't think a contentprovider is appropriate either Aug 03 10:44:01 Stew_a: nope. ContentProvider sucks. Aug 03 10:44:09 Stew_a: I'd probably use ORMlite. Aug 03 10:44:41 just direct access to the SQLite db is fine, if you're not sharing data between apps. Aug 03 10:45:09 and you can have as many open connections as you want and manage them fairly easily with ormlite Aug 03 10:45:30 thanks, i'll take a look Aug 03 10:45:37 np Aug 03 10:48:02 no ideas? :) Aug 03 11:18:45 im having some problems in getView in a custom adapter.. Aug 03 11:18:53 it doesnt show the images at the correct position when I swipe! Aug 03 11:19:34 any help? Aug 03 11:21:41 Let's see it. Aug 03 11:22:48 If I want something to happen at a certain time, should I make a service? If something is scheduled to happen (e.g an alarm) at 12.00 and the user kills the app in tha task-manager, the event should still be triggered. To do this, I need to learn about servies? Or any other and easier way to do it? Aug 03 11:24:17 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html Aug 03 11:24:23 THanks Aug 03 11:25:17 Whether you want a service or an activity depends mainly on whether you need to show something to the user or not. Aug 03 11:26:02 It's pretty much a delayed Intent Aug 03 11:34:11 Hello Aug 03 11:34:24 JakeWharton: ping Aug 03 11:34:26 :P Aug 03 11:35:12 Anyone knows why in my SherlockListFragment the progressdialog doesn't look like the "ICS" progress bar? Aug 03 11:38:18 Any recommendations for Android game engines? I had a look at Andengine but wasn't very impressed at the level of documentation/examples Aug 03 11:38:36 unreal Aug 03 11:41:04 vekexasia: if you use ActionBarSherlock in pre-4.0 Android, only the ActionBar looks like ICS Aug 03 11:41:29 yes i saw it. I need it also for the listfragment Aug 03 11:41:33 i'll do it by myself Aug 03 11:41:40 I thought I made some mistakes Aug 03 11:41:46 in using Sherlock Aug 03 11:42:20 I mean ABS is like this by design, everything else is supposed to look like the platform Aug 03 11:43:22 I needed create my own styled Spinners when I placed them as action items Aug 03 11:43:49 as the 2.1 spinners for example are redicilously large to put as action item Aug 03 11:45:06 the new github for windows is pretty cool Aug 03 11:45:20 hi Aug 03 11:45:26 how can i enable the debug-mode from code ? Aug 03 11:46:05 debug mode? Aug 03 11:46:48 for connecting the usb Aug 03 11:46:51 and get adb shell Aug 03 11:46:59 first the debug mode must be enabled Aug 03 11:47:13 i need to enable it from an apk Aug 03 11:47:23 you might be able to do it, if you use the system settings permission. Aug 03 11:47:24 is there any api to change this? Aug 03 11:47:36 ok, perfect Aug 03 11:48:45 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.Secure.html#ADB_ENABLED Aug 03 11:49:12 I have a 2D array of ints. If this is to be interpreted as a pixel array of the scene (ARGB, for example, but the format is flexible), what is the fastest way to render this to the screen? I'm looking for something close to real-time, I'm making a Doom clone. Aug 03 11:49:12 thnx !! Aug 03 11:50:09 mdkess: i would think you should instead use floats and opengl es vertex buffers. Aug 03 11:51:52 There are no vertexes though (well, four, if the screen is rendered as a quad/two triangles). But how do I get the color array to some useful format? Aug 03 11:52:56 where are the ints comin from? Aug 03 11:53:35 I generate them. Aug 03 11:53:44 'ello Aug 03 11:53:45 I compute the color at each pixel. Aug 03 11:53:46 are all the ints known at compile time? Aug 03 11:53:47 Can I put some kind of "subscriber" to a checkbox, for each time it is changed, the subscriber is notified. Thanks Aug 03 11:54:06 No, it's at runtime. It's a raycaster (like a poor man's ray tracer, but fast). Aug 03 11:54:17 hello Aug 03 11:54:24 One quick question - I have a MVC web app, and a controller that returns a JSON object. How would I go about calling that controller and storing the JSON in a variable from within my app? Aug 03 11:54:29 loadURL? Aug 03 11:54:59 mdkess: i'm afraid I don't know enough about opengl es to recommend the best way, but I can tell you for sure you're gonna have to use opengl es to get any considerable speed. Aug 03 11:55:07 is it possible to send the global audio mix of a android-phone through a digital filter? Aug 03 11:55:16 nvm found it Aug 03 11:55:32 if i want to have a button in my listview adapter, do i need to set the onclicklistener inside the adapter? Aug 03 11:55:45 i think i'm gonna spend my day hacking opengl es though. I'm fairly sick of the mundane apps i've been writing Aug 03 11:56:12 Bear10: yes Aug 03 11:56:29 set it in the adapter. Only create one onclicklistener, as well. Aug 03 11:56:38 can anyone recommend an android development forum? Aug 03 11:56:40 just use a switch on the ids. Aug 03 11:56:42 fn0rd, alright thanks Aug 03 11:56:45 No one has the answer to the web response thing? :( Aug 03 11:56:51 Bundestrojaner: for Q&A or chat? Aug 03 11:57:11 for discussions about what i asked above^^ Aug 03 11:57:19 So this is my attempt at rendering it: https://github.com/mdkess/AndCaster/blob/master/src/ca/kess/games/RaycasterGLRenderer.java I tried it as lines, but it didn't work out so well. Aug 03 11:57:28 possibility, how to do it,... Aug 03 11:57:38 Bundestrojaner: maybe ask on XDA Aug 03 11:57:41 just a usual forum Aug 03 11:58:01 fn0rd: http://www.xda-developers.com/ ? Aug 03 11:58:11 stackoverflow is good for directly answerable questions. a subjective post would probably be less likely to be shot down on xda. Aug 03 11:58:19 yeah Aug 03 11:58:25 just make sure no one asked it already. Aug 03 11:58:35 ok Aug 03 11:58:36 thx Aug 03 12:03:56 hmm, is it expected behavour that when i set a View.OnClickListener on an item in a ListView, that the listView doesn't show pressed state indicators anymore? Aug 03 12:04:20 yeah but you can override that Aug 03 12:04:32 fn0rd: ah ok, how? Aug 03 12:04:41 gotta look up the attribute. it's in the xml Aug 03 12:05:16 ah ok.. Aug 03 12:05:24 looking at the ListView docs myself atm.. Aug 03 12:05:54 it's inherited I think Aug 03 12:06:02
