**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 17 02:59:58 2012 Aug 17 03:05:57 Hi there. I'm having a pretty simple but annoying problem with Eclipse/ADT and I would appreciate any insight. When using Eclipse Indigo or Juno and ADT 20, I simply want to multi-select a couple of textviews and adjust their common properties (gravity, focusability, etc) but when I select more than one most of the properties disappear from the window. The action bar icons to change gravity will only change the gravity of the first t Aug 17 03:06:54 that got cut off Aug 17 03:14:47 I have a question Aug 17 03:14:55 can I load a intent from another intent? Aug 17 03:16:43 Nemus: I'm not sure 'intent' means what you think it means... Aug 17 03:16:59 maybe not Aug 17 03:17:01 When using Eclipse Indigo or Juno and ADT 20, I simply want to multi-select a couple of textviews and adjust their common properties (gravity, focusability, etc) but when I select more than one most of the properties disappear from the window. The action bar icons to change gravity will only change the gravity of the first thing I selected. Any ideas? TY Aug 17 03:17:21 I want my secound screen to load a thrid screen not sure what that would be called Aug 17 03:18:00 intent is the intent on showing another activity, or spawning a notification etc Aug 17 03:18:14 Nemus: then you want one activity to spawn another one - probably Aug 17 03:18:16 so your question... can you launch an activity from another activity? Yes, thats general idea Aug 17 03:19:04 so startActivity loads an intent right? Aug 17 03:19:12 no Aug 17 03:19:15 what would I use to just load another activity? Aug 17 03:19:23 intent is not what you think Aug 17 03:19:34 intent is the idea its an intent to d osomething Aug 17 03:19:38 you dont load an intent Aug 17 03:19:44 an intent triggers showing a new activity Aug 17 03:19:53 or popping a system notification Aug 17 03:19:54 etc Aug 17 03:19:59 k Aug 17 03:20:19 so if I want to load another activity from an started intent how would I do that? Aug 17 03:20:47 so long as you have a valid context, just create a new intent and use it to startactivity Aug 17 03:21:10 what you really need to do is spend more time grokking the docs... Aug 17 03:21:31 http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fundamentals.html Aug 17 03:22:39 so if I create an intent to start a new activity can I create another intent to start the secound activity? Aug 17 03:22:44 exactly Aug 17 03:23:09 so that should work? Aug 17 03:23:17 that *will* work if you do it correctly Aug 17 03:23:44 hmm it doesn't seam to work Aug 17 03:23:52 so I am doing something wrong Aug 17 03:24:01 you may not have a proper ui context Aug 17 03:24:15 are you passing in something like getApplicationContext() or are you using a reference to an activity Aug 17 03:25:10 http://pastebin.com/CgLSVjhy Aug 17 03:25:26 that is the secound intent load Aug 17 03:25:43 looks fine to me Aug 17 03:25:50 attach a debugger and make sure the code is executing Aug 17 03:26:09 http://pastebin.com/3ZLCBeeN Aug 17 03:26:16 is the secound Aug 17 03:26:17 also, how doesn't it work? Aug 17 03:26:25 does it do nothing, does it crash? Aug 17 03:27:02 ah, getApplicationContext? Aug 17 03:27:04 well if I click the submit button Aug 17 03:27:11 it will then load the secound intent Aug 17 03:28:25 http://pastebin.com/nLK9zvP2 Aug 17 03:28:29 submit button Aug 17 03:31:21 java naming conventions Aug 17 03:31:26 java naming conventions Aug 17 03:31:32 patronView Aug 17 03:34:00 ? Aug 17 03:34:33 lol Aug 17 03:40:37 does anyone know why my Expansion File download completes immediately without downloading anything? I have followed the Downloader Library sample very closely Aug 17 03:40:41 hey guys... For some reason -LC:/android-sdk/android-ndk-r8b/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/lib is not helping me get past Linker Error: cannot find crtbegin_dynamic.o: error: No such file or directory Aug 17 04:07:09 anyone here use intellij with android and actionbarsherlock? Aug 17 04:13:13 I have a onActivityResult method for my input dialog right? inside I have a statement that sets a textView to a certain string based on what onActivityResult calculates but I keep getting a null pointer Aug 17 04:13:28 and I did initialize the textView Aug 17 04:13:43 with TextView contact1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.contact1); Aug 17 04:14:11 so contact1.setText(somevariable); and i get null pointer =/ Aug 17 04:23:16 Ah — looks like it just takes about an hour for apk expansion files to propogate once youve uploaded them to google play. Aug 17 04:29:00 is it possible to send a tweet through an intent from a broadcast receiver? Aug 17 04:49:44 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tdubstudios.soundboard.twilightbdp1 everyone check out my newest app :D Aug 17 04:54:16 is this app aimed at girls? Aug 17 04:56:07 T-Dub: I'd be really interested to know how you went about getting the copyright signoff for that app Aug 17 04:56:33 as well as your other soundboards... Aug 17 04:57:19 I'm pretty sure "distributing someone else's content with your own ads" doesn't count as fair use Aug 17 04:58:50 Naish, not specifically but yes the vas majority of the audience will be young girls. Aug 17 05:01:01 T-Dub: ? Aug 17 05:01:56 Leeds, when you provide a free service (advertising in this case) people tend not to care about copyright. I know you're going to throw back that, that isn't always true and you're right Aug 17 05:02:08 no, I'm going to report your app Aug 17 05:02:16 But just google any major movie and there are thousands of copyrights Aug 17 05:02:21 Ok Aug 17 05:02:45 if you're doing it "as a fan", take the ads off it Aug 17 05:02:56 then at least you can argue it's non-commercial Aug 17 05:03:20 This isn't #android-copyrightlaw!! Aug 17 05:03:39 Ads aren't necessarily for profit. Things like servers, doamins, employies, etc cost money Aug 17 05:03:40 Leeds: is there a link to report an app for violations? Aug 17 05:03:59 mr6: there is in the on-device client Aug 17 05:04:05 Non profit organizations still "make money" Aug 17 05:04:09 They just don't make profit Aug 17 05:04:16 Leeds: ah ok Aug 17 05:04:59 I think everyone should report it just because someone has the audacity to promote a p.o.s. app like this to devs on IRC Aug 17 05:12:25 Hmm --sysroot is mandatory? Aug 17 05:12:31 (NDK) Aug 17 05:15:37 what does eclipse mean when I try to declare an AlertDialog that it's "not visible"? Aug 17 05:15:57 the constructor isn't visible? Aug 17 05:16:40 nvm, found out it's actually protected Aug 17 05:20:41 anyone have a url for something which describes how all this stuff in an eclipse android project interrelate? Aug 17 05:21:19 jaggz: you mean this one? http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fundamentals.html Aug 17 05:22:03 mmmaybe... :) thanks Aug 17 05:27:36 would this code show an alert dialog? Aug 17 05:27:37 http://pastebin.com/DTaUZRyR Aug 17 05:40:56 any ideas? Aug 17 05:41:00 anyone take a look at my code? I got logged off Aug 17 05:45:30 eddi3x3 maybe call .show() Aug 17 05:45:38 also you can use 'this' as context Aug 17 05:50:02 .show says bad token exception Aug 17 05:50:14 for saying alertDialog.show(); Aug 17 05:50:45 why are you using application context? Aug 17 05:52:20 shouldn't I? Aug 17 05:53:14 no, you should use your Activity as the Context, as xorgate suggested Aug 17 05:56:53 ok Aug 17 05:57:22 hey so how does one link with pthread? Aug 17 06:20:56 how do i disable click ahead for buttons? Aug 17 06:22:29 there seems to be a click event buffer thats stacking up multiple events. i have a flag that i set so the onclick handler disregards keypresses and after a short time i clear the flag Aug 17 06:22:54 but if the player mashes on the buttons while its disabled they get stacked up and happen all at once when the flag is cleared Aug 17 06:25:28 how do i disable onclick events for ALL buttons withina view? Aug 17 06:36:53 hnow do i flush A:LL onclick events when i get a click,. i dont want the player to be able to mash on the buttons 283465293645 times in a row and get that many events. once i see the first i want to throw away ALL OTHER events currently in the queue Aug 17 06:39:05 0 down vote Aug 17 06:39:06 Aug 17 06:39:06 Make a boolean clickEnabled in your activity and check it in the click listeners; if it's false, don't do anything. Aug 17 06:39:06 <-- one site sugests this Aug 17 06:39:24 already tried this. the clicks get stacked up and all happen at once Aug 17 06:40:35 set the flag. set a timer to clear it. player mashes repeatedly on button. when timer clears the flag all the stacked up events occur Aug 17 06:40:38 wtf over? Aug 17 06:43:34 hi, Aug 17 06:45:51 I want to know all threads of process, how to show this information? "adb shell ps" only shows processes Aug 17 06:48:02 http://superuser.com/questions/80556/how-do-you-view-all-threads-running-on-linux Aug 17 06:48:14 assuming ps in CWM still supports those params Aug 17 07:06:45 what? why not just run ps or top? Aug 17 07:06:50 or even pstree? Aug 17 07:07:01 just ssh in and do it that way. Aug 17 07:07:41 not every android device has an ssh server installed on it? Aug 17 07:07:59 no android device has an ssh server installed on it. but ... the market place does. Aug 17 07:08:02 pretty much no android device has an ssh server included in stock Aug 17 07:08:23 hi Leeds. Aug 17 07:08:37 afternoon Aug 17 07:08:41 i didnt say stock :) Aug 17 07:08:51 afternoon? where are you at leeds? Aug 17 07:09:00 no, I'm not in Leeds Aug 17 07:09:05 hahah.

Aug 17 07:14:00 lol Aug 17 07:14:49 are u from HK originally or move there for work? Aug 17 07:15:40 no, I'm from Leeds originally Aug 17 07:15:54 aha Aug 17 07:16:03 i grew up in blackpool :/ Aug 17 07:16:12 I'm sorry to hear that Aug 17 07:16:32 ya. that place sucks Aug 17 07:17:01 I studied in Liverpool Aug 17 07:17:17 how do I set a setOnClickListener inside of a onActivityResult? Aug 17 07:17:19 my mom was a from liverpool Aug 17 07:17:34 I'm guessing I have to reference the button using the activity or something? Aug 17 07:18:26 UnknownzD, I tried, most of the options are not accepted. Aug 17 07:19:14 UnknownzD, I will try another way, if I find any. Aug 17 07:22:01 w?n ?n Aug 17 07:30:20 (x) Aug 17 07:30:25 sorry Aug 17 07:37:28 question : assuming i have a PreferenceActivity. How can I add a Preference to it myself instead of loading a preference XML? Aug 17 08:05:59 setPersistantString("namepref", "pref") Aug 17 08:06:43 euh no sorry Aug 17 08:06:59 SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences("preferences", Aug 17 08:07:01 MODE_PRIVATE).edit(); Aug 17 08:07:05 editor.putString(key, value); Aug 17 08:07:10 editor.commit(); Aug 17 08:11:09 hmm, is there a standard way to assemble an intent to have google maps (or some other map app) search for a user provided location? Aug 17 08:11:16 e.g. "berlin, germany" Aug 17 08:16:19 tapas: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html Aug 17 08:27:09 I've made a paid app and now I'm trying to create a lite version. I've changed the package names but whenever I open a link to a paid app I can only see "open" instead of something else like download, buy or upgrade. What am I doing wrong? Aug 17 08:29:40 appel1: ok, cool. thanks.. Aug 17 08:30:10 tapas: don't know if it works reliably on all possible devices out there though Aug 17 08:30:43 akls: do you have the paid app installed? Aug 17 08:31:03 appel1, no, I've uninstalled everything! Aug 17 08:31:12 but it was installed Aug 17 08:31:17 not bought though Aug 17 08:31:52 akls: it can't be both uninstalled and installed at the same time? Aug 17 08:32:21 appel1, I have only free one installed Aug 17 08:32:40 akls: and you're sure you're viewing the paid app in Google Play? Aug 17 08:33:19 appel1, yes, free one is not even in Google Play yet Aug 17 08:34:27 oh nice cleanrom is on nexus7 now Aug 17 08:34:32 akls: the "free" app you have installed must have the same package name as the paid app you uploaded to Google Play then Aug 17 08:35:32 appel1, I will try to recreate apk again, but I've changed the package name for sure Aug 17 08:36:15 akls: why not use adb pm to check what the package name is of the app you have installed and compare it to the package name on Google Play? Aug 17 08:36:43 appel1, what is adb pm? Aug 17 08:37:41 akls: adb shell pm Aug 17 08:38:25 akls: so to view all installed packages on your device you can use "adb shell pm list packages" Aug 17 08:52:46 What's the best way to save a large BufferedReader into a string? Aug 17 08:52:57 appel1, any other reason? Aug 17 08:53:25 Should I read each line and append it to a string? Aug 17 08:53:30 akls: you've verified that the package names are different? Aug 17 08:54:23 RazielZ: you probably want to use something like StringBuilder Aug 17 08:58:37 appel1, checking it right now, but it's going to change nothing since I have different package names... Aug 17 09:01:37 can't think of any other reason for the behavior you describe Aug 17 09:04:40 Trying to draw a rounded gradient rectangle on a canvas, but how can I use different alpha values for each color-position? Aug 17 09:08:49 appel1, ok, the package name is wrong Aug 17 09:08:58 appel1, checked it with adb Aug 17 09:09:02 appel1, now... why? Aug 17 09:09:31 appel1, GOT IT Aug 17 09:09:43 great Aug 17 09:09:47 appel1, package name of get files is old Aug 17 09:09:55 appel1, can I simply rename it? Aug 17 09:10:16 appel1, and next time should I rename everything or just the package where my main activity is located? Aug 17 09:10:27 appel1, or just the gen files? Aug 17 09:11:48 Apparently parsing huge webpages can be really slow Aug 17 09:11:51 Who would've thought Aug 17 09:11:53 akls: the only thing that matters afaik is the package attribute on the manifest element in your AndroidManifest.xml Aug 17 09:12:03 akls: you can't change it after you've uploaded it to Google Play Aug 17 09:15:11 appel1, how can I change it? Aug 17 09:15:45 akls: in the free version you haven't uplaoded to google play just change the manifest and rebuild Aug 17 09:17:40 appel1, AHA! HERE IT IS!!!! Aug 17 09:17:47 so that's all I had to change? Aug 17 09:17:58 nothing else? Not even the package where my activity is located? Aug 17 09:19:36 akls: I don't think so Aug 17 09:22:30 ok, thanks Aug 17 09:22:51 hi Aug 17 09:23:24 akls: this is fairly well documented at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html#package and the publishing docs Aug 17 09:24:43 I've had an error report in the developer console for one of my applications: it's a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget ... is there any way to find out what device triggered that error ? The code that failed was just loading a full screen image Aug 17 09:28:21 xroberx, some device with high resolution and low vm size limit Aug 17 09:28:58 xroberx: a lot of older devices have a heapsize of 16mb, probably one of them Aug 17 09:29:05 akls: is there anything I can do ? I've already filtered normal-ldpi devices in AndroidManifest.xml Aug 17 09:29:43 xroberx, I don't know, I've just released my first app :D but you search if you can set vm size for your application manually Aug 17 09:30:03 akls: AFAIK the heap size grows as needed Aug 17 09:30:16 xroberx: you could check the max heap size and use less memory Aug 17 09:30:19 akls: until it reaches the limit of course Aug 17 09:31:36 xroberx: for example by using http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager.html#getMemoryClass() Aug 17 09:32:08 appel1: but... the code that make the application crash is just loading a single full screen image and scaling it, it doesn't reach the 16MB limit Aug 17 09:32:40 xroberx: do you load it scaled or do you load the full thing and do the scaling later yourself? Aug 17 09:33:42 xroberx: could also be that you have some rare memory leak somewhere that this one user happened to trigger I guess Aug 17 09:34:37 appel1: I load and then do the scaling myself with Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(), but it crashed at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeAsset(Native Method), before Bitmap.createScaledBitmap() has been invoked Aug 17 09:34:59 xroberx: why not load it scaled? would reduce the memory usage a lot. Aug 17 09:35:40 appel1: not that much, the target resolution is 1280x720 Aug 17 09:36:09 appel1: it just takes 3686400 bytes to load the unscaled image Aug 17 09:36:27 appel1: at high quality ARGB8888 Aug 17 09:37:29 appel1: and I'm sure I don't leak memory because I kill the previous (menu) activity before switching to the game activity Aug 17 09:38:04 Famous last words: "I'm sure I don't _____ because _____" Aug 17 09:38:14 hehehe Aug 17 09:38:17 ok ok Aug 17 09:38:37 though in your case it seems like you're probably right, there are still ways you could run into problems :-) Aug 17 09:43:41 I've just run a test, and there is a memory usage peak of 21MB when switching activities, but then it goes down to 13,8 MB, but there's nothing I can do about that Aug 17 09:44:51 do you know if there's still a lot of devices with a heap limit of 16MB ? Aug 17 09:48:47 i have a custom class that extends scrollview, which contains a linear layout that has a horizontal scrollview, some tables, and buttons… what could be the problem that my onTouchListeners wouldn't be triggering? Aug 17 09:50:08 lol nevermind :) Aug 17 09:51:40 xroberx: no idea, found this by googling http://stackoverflow.com/a/9940415/1220644 Aug 17 09:52:21 thanks appel1 Aug 17 10:01:02 sure enough, my touch listeners aren't registering Aug 17 10:01:04 wtf! Aug 17 10:14:45 why would touch events be working in my emulator but not on my device? Aug 17 10:22:08 how to add a breakpoint to ndk-gdb before running the application, or how to define a breakpoint for it in the code? Aug 17 10:22:24 maybe you need to put a loop. Aug 17 10:22:31 and then step out from the loop in debugger Aug 17 10:22:35 after breakpoint is set. Aug 17 10:28:48 Zharf: generaly, i set a breakpoint on main Aug 17 10:29:14 once it stops there, other stuff will have loaded, and i can set more breakpoints Aug 17 10:29:23 but it depends on how the libs are loaded, and when Aug 17 10:31:03 clever, but how, when it just starts running right away Aug 17 10:31:14 how do I do that stuff before running the application Aug 17 10:31:38 if I just run ndk-gdb it says the application is not running, use --start or --launch Aug 17 10:51:15 I am tring to make latitude-like service... how can I simply get best possible location? Like, if the gps is running and lock, use that, if not, just use wifi/gsm approximation. I don't see anything like PROVIDER_BEST in documentation. Aug 17 10:58:57 does 10x/second polling sound ridiculous for a tcp client? i'd like my app to appear to be realtime, it's timing sensitive Aug 17 11:12:16 hello all Aug 17 11:13:42 one question. I have a button which is deactivated (btn.setEnabled(false) ) after it is pressed and i want to reactivate this button when an alarm calles a onReceive method. How can I do this (I just have the context in the onReceive method) . thx Aug 17 11:18:26 Which widget is most suitable for displaying 600+ images - center-lock + horizontal-screen Aug 17 11:25:06 is there a way to tell eclipse to open the layouts for different orientations/screensizes in separate views? Aug 17 11:27:52 it gets old pretty quickly to have to locate the damn things in the project tree everytime i need to have them both open Aug 17 11:28:31 press the <=> button in the package explorer Aug 17 11:31:37 any ideas how I could update update the ui from a onReceive method ??? Aug 17 11:36:47 Hello. What do I need to do in Dialog sub-class to have an Icon as the Alert Dialog? Aug 17 11:42:24 gotta love it when the tow trucks trawl the parking lot looking for cars to repo with their ALPRs Aug 17 11:45:22 ALPR ? Aug 17 11:45:49 automatic license plate reader Aug 17 11:46:59 hmm never seen one of those Aug 17 11:47:27 cameras mounted on tow trucks & police cars Aug 17 11:53:13 guys, is there a way to add events to calendarview? Aug 17 11:56:24 SimonVT: u problably have an idea? ^^^^ Aug 17 11:56:27 :) Aug 17 11:56:49 if I wanted my app to listen out for incoming SMS, I add a broadcast receiver with action and category in Manifest? Aug 17 11:57:24 taljurf: Which CalendarView is it? Aug 17 11:57:50 Lachezar: SimonVT's , the same as the default Aug 17 11:58:12 sicp: google Aug 17 11:58:20 I did, ivan\ Aug 17 11:58:25 Ivru Aug 17 11:59:01 taljurf: You mean the one in API 11 in the base Android? android.widget.CalendarView? Aug 17 11:59:05 I just didn't do it properly Aug 17 11:59:16 Lachezr: yes Aug 17 12:00:06 Lachezar: it obviously doesnt take events , but i was thinking about coloring days with events, and recieve clicks which will show details in a dialoug Aug 17 12:00:24 Lachezar: except if there was an easier way Aug 17 12:00:39 Lachezar: or a more logical one Aug 17 12:01:26 taljurf: I don't see this component taking any , so it's probably not suited for that. Aug 17 12:01:51 taljurf: I suppose you could iterate the views inside the calendar... Aug 17 12:02:17 Lachezar: explain a bit pls , im still new :/ Aug 17 12:03:47 Lachezar: CalendarView draws itself by overriding onDraw afaik Aug 17 12:04:17 appel1: Weird... Why does it extend FrameLayout then :-/ Aug 17 12:04:55 * Lachezar is having problems with grepcode :( Aug 17 12:06:23 appel1: You're right :-/ Aug 17 12:06:45 taljurf: As it seems CalendarView does not have child components, so you can't iterate them. Aug 17 12:07:23 taljurf: You probably need another component, or may raise an ISSUE to add date decoration model to the CalendarView. Aug 17 12:07:54 Lachezar: i see :/ Aug 17 12:14:12 Lachezar: what other calendar would you recommend? Aug 17 12:17:36 Hi, anyone know where to get the ADB driver for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone? It's not in the Android SDK any more Aug 17 12:20:05 Smashcat: afaik it's never been in the SDK Aug 17 12:20:07 Smashcat: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html Aug 17 12:20:15 Smashcat: "The Galaxy Nexus driver, however, is distributed by Samsung (listed as model SCH-I515)." Aug 17 12:20:47 Yeah, they must have removed it from the SDK - in a previous version I think I just installed it from the SDK usb-drivers directroy Aug 17 12:20:58 Smashcat, http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW Aug 17 12:21:15 The Samsung site is horrible to navigate Aug 17 12:22:08 What happens if I add an item to an array list while looping over an iterator of it? Aug 17 12:22:39 Spyderco: Thanks for the link - would have taken me ages to find it on there! Aug 17 12:24:53 hey everybody Aug 17 12:25:34 hey does the posting of the same article validation is done in twitter android integration as it is done for iOS ? Aug 17 12:25:50 in iOS the same article can't be posted twice Aug 17 12:26:19 Isn't it Twitter that does the checking? Aug 17 12:26:30 yes it does Aug 17 12:26:38 i am sure about the iOS Aug 17 12:26:45 Smashcat, No problem I had the same issue last week Aug 17 12:26:48 but does it check for android also ? Aug 17 12:27:24 sunny_slls: I think it's done on the Twitter servers - so should work the same way for Android as iOS Aug 17 12:27:44 ok Aug 17 12:28:07 Twitter doesn't care what you're using to connect to it Aug 17 12:31:30 i have another issue. I am starting an activity with customized boundaries. On click outside of the activity boundary it should close that activity Aug 17 12:31:34 this is working fine for me Aug 17 12:32:34 but the previous activity which is in background consists of a listview which on click shows the data of that particular view Aug 17 12:32:43 how can i avoid this. ? Aug 17 12:33:50 deebo: that button is enabled.. Aug 17 12:34:14 deebo: do you have multiple layouts in your project for different orientations/screensizes? Aug 17 12:34:14 sunny_slls: Maybe ignore the first touch event after the activity with the boundary exits? Aug 17 12:36:44 sunny_slls: Or you could just add a transparent layer under the boundary activity so that touch events are not passed through to the list. Remove that layer after the boundary activity exits. Aug 17 12:57:08 How do you set layout_align for an item both vertically AND horizontally? Aug 17 12:57:36 I meant android:layout_gravity Aug 17 12:57:50 I'd like to use both right and center_vertical Aug 17 12:59:06 Nevermind I think I got it. Aug 17 12:59:22 Besides, you shouldn't spoonfeed a newbie. Aug 17 13:02:41 i wonder: is there a simple way to limit the number of lines displayed in a WebView which has as data just a simple html snippet with a few paragraphs? Aug 17 13:09:37 hmm it might be simpler to strip off all text attributes and just use the ellipsize function of the TextView Aug 17 13:22:22 guys, if a layout exceeds the lower margin, for example too much text, do the scroller work automatically or do i have to add a scroller? Aug 17 13:25:37 someone here that would rate my app with 5 stars "suedtirol weather" in play store ? plz thx alot Aug 17 13:29:30 I'm having some issues with pitch-varying audio output on android although I'm staying within the documented interval [0.5, 2], I even go (0.5, 1] but if I try to change the pitch of a looping sound it only works if the soundloop was started on a pitch != 1f Aug 17 13:31:15 i added an OnTouchListener() to a view and then call MapView.onTouchEvent(ev) from that listener Aug 17 13:31:18 yet the MapView doesn't scroll Aug 17 13:31:21 any suggestions? Aug 17 13:31:58 * fmauro just realized he's in the wrong channel Aug 17 13:42:02 elec29a: ported from ios? Aug 17 14:01:41 Hey guys, what file should i be looking for that scans media? Aug 17 14:03:54 MediaScanner Aug 17 14:05:45 i cant find such an apk or anything in the system/bin Aug 17 14:05:58 my roms not doing a media scan and nothing can force it to. iassume its broken or not there. :S Aug 17 14:06:31 Mediaserver reports 2 errors and freezes when ran from terminal Aug 17 14:06:49 So start developing :P Aug 17 14:08:34 im telling the dev of my rom, but he thinks im annoying. lol Aug 17 14:13:08 someone here that would rate my app with 5 stars "suedtirol weather" in play store ? plz thx alot its a minute for you to make me happy Aug 17 14:16:35 I'll rate it 1 star Aug 17 14:16:45 "suedtirol weather" you say Aug 17 14:16:46 can anybody see my messages Aug 17 14:16:52 kapil: no :p Aug 17 14:17:00 thanks dude Aug 17 14:17:19 anyways i need to implement custom range seek bar in android Aug 17 14:17:46 i actually am going to, SimonVT. XD Aug 17 14:18:24 SimonVT: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=suedtirol.weather.browser Aug 17 14:18:25 kapil: custom range? you can already set the range on the SeekBar view Aug 17 14:18:42 no i am talking about range seek bar Aug 17 14:18:49 a range has to selected Aug 17 14:19:03 a seek bar with two thums at either end Aug 17 14:19:16 ah Aug 17 14:20:37 so any help Aug 17 14:20:47 I'm writing programs for my own edification (but with the idea that I might, at some point, want to distribute them). I'm too lazy/cheap to get myself a real domain. What's the best practice for a namespace for my app? (com.example.whaever sort of thing) Aug 17 14:21:14 not.a.real.domain.xalbo.yourapp Aug 17 14:21:38 Awh must install app to rate it. oh well Aug 17 14:22:19 Check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0 Aug 17 14:22:38 So just "make something up", or literally "not.a.real.domain"? Or I guess it doesn't matter, as long as it's unique. Aug 17 14:23:40 can you guys help me out now Aug 17 14:24:17 I guess you should just make sure it can't be mistaken for a domain Aug 17 14:25:00 Gets harder now that the TLD registration process is open. Probably someone is trying to get .not. :) Anyway, thanks. Aug 17 14:25:18 xaldoapps.yourappname Aug 17 14:25:21 Or something Aug 17 14:25:34 Or, you know, buy a domain :p Aug 17 14:25:37 It's not that expensive Aug 17 14:31:20 SimonVT: One last question, is it possible to color a particular date in the calendarview? Aug 17 14:31:47 I don't think so Aug 17 14:33:12 SimonVT: even by editing the code? Aug 17 14:33:27 or would u not recommend that? Aug 17 14:33:32 If you edit the code, you can make it do whatever you want oO Aug 17 14:33:53 looks like ill have to :) Aug 17 14:34:22 because the calendar is so nice and neat, i'm ready to die to make it work , lol Aug 17 14:35:42 ormlite users: is it possible to have two database fields share a column? Aug 17 14:36:11 as in i want to be able to do a order.setAccunt(Account) and order.setAccountId(int accountId) Aug 17 14:39:06 any ideas: a listview with an image in it, the image is a drawable and I want to change the hue of it Aug 17 14:39:12 I could use this approach: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10254630/android-how-to-change-hue-of-an-image Aug 17 14:39:24 but doing that for every item in the list would slow things down a lot? Aug 17 14:41:48 earlier question: Suppose I have a PreferenceActivity. I want to add preferences manually, not with XML. Aug 17 14:41:51 any ideas? Aug 17 14:43:56 why does everyone have that stupid task killer app installed Aug 17 14:44:15 i thought it was just our QA department, but now im looking at screenshots from other companies, and they have the icon in the status bar Aug 17 14:44:31 WindowsNT, i briefly looked into that a while back, and gave up Aug 17 14:45:17 i 'm making a calculator which started as a fun project but i 'm probably releasing it ... :) Aug 17 14:45:54 i was hoping to use this preference list for variables ... but i can use an ordinary list anyway Aug 17 14:46:10 <[7]> someone around who knows wpa_supplicant's inner workings really well? I think I've found an interesting bug... Aug 17 14:46:55 [7]: dragorn may or may not be someone to talk to. Aug 17 14:47:53 do what now? Aug 17 14:48:25 it's been a while since i've really been in the guts of wpa_supp but I probably remember a fair bit Aug 17 14:48:37 <[7]> well, I have some issues with wifi roaming on android 4.0 Aug 17 14:48:46 wifi roaming is dogshit on * Aug 17 14:48:49 <[7]> and apparently also on 4.1 Aug 17 14:48:55 I've noticed 4 is very odd Aug 17 14:48:56 <[7]> (sgs3 and gnex) Aug 17 14:49:04 about how it does signal reporting when associating, especially Aug 17 14:49:20 <[7]> well back on sgs2 it didn't work at all, but on sgs3/gnex it works a bit at least Aug 17 14:49:39 <[7]> however it seems to send a response,identity packet to a wrong destination mac address, causing some trouble Aug 17 14:50:11 <[7]> while roaming it gets a request,identity from the AP it roams to, and attempts to answer to the AP it was previously associated to Aug 17 14:50:31 I'm actually currently working on an app at work that, among other things, tracks roaming behavior on android Aug 17 14:50:45 <[7]> linux (ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.5.0-10) doesn't show this behavior and answers to the correct mac address Aug 17 14:50:53 hm that IS curious Aug 17 14:51:27 <[7]> in many cases, the roaming works nevertheless because after like a second of not getting further packets it sends an EAPOL start and starts over Aug 17 14:51:32 <[7]> and then uses the correct mac address Aug 17 14:51:42 <[7]> however it doesn't always do that, so roaming sometimes fails Aug 17 14:52:01 Is there any errors with my xml? http://pastebin.com/232cqqAz Aug 17 14:52:17 huh. Yeah that sounds wacky. Think you're going to be around for a while? I can email some folks at work who are more actively modifying android wpa_supplicant and see if they can reproduce it Aug 17 14:52:22 <[7]> I suspect that some internal mac address variable in wpa_supplicant's internal state hasn't been updated to the new AP mac address yet when that first response is sent Aug 17 14:52:43 Not that it actually HELPS you any, because I dont' work for anyone w/ commit access to android :P Aug 17 14:52:45 <[7]> dragorn: perfect, I'll idle here 24/7 if there are further questions or any other news Aug 17 14:52:54
