**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 16 03:00:00 2012 Sep 16 03:09:23 howdy Sep 16 03:17:10 Is it possible to access the application object from a broadcast receiver? Sep 16 03:18:31 I have to set some objects in my custom application class when a broadcast is received. Is it possible? Sep 16 03:26:18 napster: Do you have a Service running? Sep 16 03:26:40 3~^^ Sep 16 03:26:50 oops. yeah, ki was gonna say maybe lok into a service Sep 16 03:27:01 napster: A Service can hold objects...and then your broadcast receiver can access the objects running in the Service Sep 16 03:27:02 Ologn: I have one but it is provided by a library, so no access to it apart from the fact that it sends a broadcast Sep 16 03:27:05 service shold be able to access the APplication object Sep 16 03:27:21 napster - override the class you are using from the library Sep 16 03:27:33 err, extend it* Sep 16 03:27:43 speakingcode: not possible to do that :( Sep 16 03:29:11 Ologn: Basically this library sends me a broadcast. I can choose to receive it and what I need is to set a variable in my custom application class onRecieve Sep 16 03:30:16 Ologn: From the documentation class, I have a bare understanding that a broadcast receiver cannot access application class with its given base context. I just wanted to clarify. Sep 16 03:30:28 *documentation about application class Sep 16 03:31:04 napster, have all the objects and methods in a Service class. When you catch a broadcast with the Broadcast Receiver, send it to the Service, including any method parameters Sep 16 03:31:25 Ologn: ok, I need to write another service right? Sep 16 03:31:27 the service will contain an object of the custom class Sep 16 03:32:09 ok Sep 16 03:33:34 The service will also contain methods to access that object. As far as how many services, it depends what you're doing. Sometimes one is OK, sometimes more are needed. Sep 16 03:37:43 ok Sep 16 03:38:38 Can anyone point me in the direction of updating a database record based on a PagerAdapter's view created by said database records? Sep 16 03:49:44 anyone know how the Google+ app is able to scroll with so many images so easily? Sep 16 03:49:52 how can i run something on the UI thread in a fragment? Sep 16 03:49:57 in a method that is caleld by another thread Sep 16 03:50:13 do i have to do getActivity().runOnUI.... Sep 16 03:50:31 recycled views? Sep 16 03:51:52 speakingcode: i think that's what I did to runOnUI Sep 16 03:52:15 and yeah, i figure recycled views. looks like I'll have to create a custom view for what i'm looking for Sep 16 03:52:37 i'm trying to create a scrolling grid of images, but not aligned... sorta like how pinterest looks. Sep 16 03:52:58 anyway, i'm currently doing it with a ScrollView, with 3 LinearLayout columns, adding items into each one as needed Sep 16 03:53:09 no recycled views, and I'm eventually running out of memory Sep 16 07:22:29 does anyone know why a small bit (~ 5%) of a view i set to invisible would still be showing? Sep 16 07:51:03 because you have an animation set on it Sep 16 07:58:29 i've called clearAnimation, shouldn't that do the trick? Sep 16 08:00:56 howdy Sep 16 08:01:53 I have two listview fragments, when an item is selected in one it populates the other , yadda yadda. is there a simple way to highlight the selected one that will unhighlight when selecting another item in that list? Sep 16 09:27:44 LOL http://www.maxconsole.com/cgi-bin/maxconsole/rknewz.pl?function=detail&id=RKLS00000014330&cat=ANDROID Sep 16 10:35:31 Hello, I've a not properly technica Sep 16 10:37:21 Fucking t9. I've a non technical question. I'm looking for a designer for creating a few assets for my app. Any raccomandation? Sep 16 11:02:46 Anyone know how to fix emulator keyboard input (Android 16 emulator target, Ubuntu 12.04 host)? The soft keyboard appears but I can't type directly into the emulator, I must clock of the soft keyboard directly :-( Sep 16 11:05:10 nm... I had to set "keyboard support: yes" in options. Seems logical now ;-) Sep 16 11:06:49 That used to be the default tho, didn't it? Sep 16 11:07:04 should be Sep 16 11:07:23 But now I know why I haven't been able to type in my emulators directly lately either :p Sep 16 11:08:14 yep. i ran into a few times on my work system but it worked on the latpop. I had been assuming some system thing. Until I recreated the avd here and it stopped working. Sep 16 11:08:37 on another note, the performance of 4.1.1 x86 emulator with GPU emulation is just astounding! Sep 16 11:09:09 I can run a full xhdpi / 720p screen at 60fps! Sep 16 11:13:21 Haven't tried that yet Sep 16 11:13:34 Since I use my GN when testing on JB :p Sep 16 11:13:50 it boots in <5 sec. this is without a snapshot Sep 16 11:13:56 I really dont know how thats possible Sep 16 11:14:21 THis is on Linux BTW (I know qemu on Mac has always been a bit slower) Sep 16 11:15:53 Yeah, it runs nice Sep 16 11:17:28 I mostly use the API7 emulator during development, and my device.. Then go through the other before releasing anything Sep 16 11:18:48 ever since lint started flagging API level problems, I dont worry so much Sep 16 11:19:28 API7 just runs pretty fast Sep 16 11:20:20 this is faster Sep 16 11:21:35 I have a JB phone and a ICS tablet, I don't really have much use for the JB emulator during development ;O Sep 16 11:22:17 It's handy for having multiple incompatible versions of my app available to regression test. Sep 16 11:23:22 also considering the emulator is an eng build and not 'user'. Meaning you can 'adb root' and browse files, and things of that nature Sep 16 11:23:39 its handy for poking at sqlite dbs in-plac Sep 16 11:23:48 hehe Sep 16 11:43:55 Hi chat. Sep 16 11:44:46 I set a button to do an HTTP transaction. Using the log I have verified that the request is successfully completed, but the activity just hangs after that. Sep 16 11:45:55 I am using a ThreadPoolExecutor and I block until the transaction is completed. After the thread is done doing the transaction, the activity just stays there and doesn't resume. Any ideas on why this is the case? Sep 16 11:46:09 I've tried logging onPause and onResume as well, but they aren't being called either Sep 16 11:50:01 What are you blocking Sep 16 11:51:39 I'm blocking on the completion of the request Sep 16 11:51:59 I made a RunnableFuture and I just wait till isDone() is true Sep 16 11:52:18 and it works, and gets the result, but the GUI doesn't work after that Sep 16 11:53:10 I am guessing it's better if I would let the Future notify the activity somehow, instead, but I still dont' know why this doesn't work though. Sep 16 11:53:22 hello all Sep 16 11:54:19 how start activity A if A activity on top then reload? Sep 16 11:56:02 How chat if no English? (Just kidding). Uh, maybe you are asking about how to handle onRestart()? Sep 16 11:56:12 Brb, class Sep 16 11:56:17 * eudicot -> Sep 16 11:57:21 maybe add flags to Intentent? Sep 16 11:57:27 *Intent Sep 16 11:57:36 Look into onNewIntent Sep 16 11:57:39 or change launchmode of Activity Sep 16 11:57:49 eudicot: blocking UI thread is *BAD* idea Sep 16 11:57:52 onNewIntent works on single task? Sep 16 11:57:57 And yeah, launchmodes Sep 16 11:58:01 singleTask Sep 16 11:58:11 singleTop maybe Sep 16 11:58:31 Google it, I can't remember exactly - but onNewIntent is probably what you want Sep 16 11:59:26 singleTop and FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT Sep 16 11:59:47 not destroy in "A -> B -> A" first A Sep 16 12:01:17 the way it should be? Sep 16 12:02:39 but singleTask and FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT it works correctly Sep 16 12:16:39 Is there some intellij shortcut to collapse all /* */ comments? Sep 16 12:50:58 does anyone here know how to auto-start an app after it's exited, so far i removed the launcher so if the guy exits the app it will have a black screen, deactivated the home key so he cant go back that easy, written an init.d script to make the app launch when the phone boots but i can still exit the app if i go back, back, back, back a million times or if i just hit menu, exit, i can deactivate the menu, exit easily but i cant deactivate this back Sep 16 12:50:58 million times Sep 16 12:52:31 Enver_kemoba: Make your app respond to the launcher event Sep 16 12:52:41 and catch all the buttons Sep 16 12:53:06 ;), smart... :D Sep 16 14:30:31 how can add RemoteViews to LinearLayout? Sep 16 14:36:41 You don't Sep 16 14:41:04 SimonVT can use one RemoteViews one and more times in Notification.contentView ? Sep 16 14:41:38 one object of RemoteViews Sep 16 14:43:17 I don't know, try it Sep 16 14:43:43 i gotted big lags Sep 16 14:50:16 hey, has anyone ever created a widget that allows you to layout items in a Pinterest-style manner with recycled views? Sep 16 14:50:36 I think I'm going to have to write my own custom control to do it, but I figured I'd ask before I went down that path. Sep 16 14:51:38 Hi Sep 16 14:51:44 How do I deodex my rom ? Google Nexus 7 Sep 16 14:51:50 Using Ubuntu (Linux Mint 13) Sep 16 14:53:21 Hi Sep 16 14:53:44 How do I deodex my rom ? A rom for Google Nexus 7 in Ubuntu (Linux Mint 13) ? Sep 16 14:55:33 Jamesstp20: #android-root Sep 16 15:16:34 somebody there ? Sep 16 15:19:59 hi guys Sep 16 15:20:36 guess what, after I tried to deploy an android app with the proper data cable attached to my phone it took like 3 minutes to create and deploy and run a hello world app on my phone lol Sep 16 15:20:57 no problem though the first 3 days I spend learning to create a download for deployment was worth it Sep 16 15:21:20 it is pretty slow process indeed Sep 16 15:21:31 but for me it takes something like 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes Sep 16 15:22:16 takes me closer to 10. Sep 16 15:22:25 and I'm on a pretty weak machine Sep 16 15:22:46 I can't run the emulator Sep 16 15:22:58 ofcourse it depends if the phone is samsung s3 or zte blade Sep 16 15:23:05 on this netbook with 1gig ram Sep 16 15:23:30 well, 1gb ram isn't much Sep 16 15:23:43 netbooks won't be able to handle the emulator in any real way. Sep 16 15:23:49 not for running that emulator no Sep 16 15:24:32 I think my eclipse will take something like 600-700mb of ram few minutes after startup Sep 16 15:24:56 that is pretty cool though, click on run in eclipse and it automatically installs and runs the app on the phone Sep 16 15:24:56 yup. Sep 16 15:25:13 if only eclipse gave clear error messages. Sep 16 15:25:47 there was some option it ask me if I wanted to display some log from the phone on eclipse Sep 16 15:26:01 you probably want to. Sep 16 15:26:04 yeah Sep 16 15:26:18 yes I accepted Sep 16 15:27:38 could smb help at serealizing an big object to an file ? Sep 16 15:28:20 Mastaofich: Use "an" if the next word starts with a vowel (phonetically). Use 'a' if it doesn't. "An apple". "A file" :D Sep 16 15:28:28 I guess if a person puts an app on google play or whatever, he must learn how to provide updates Sep 16 15:29:04 caverdude:Maintain compatability, resign with same sig, build and resubmit apk Sep 16 15:29:18 (Or at least that's what the guides make it sound is required) Sep 16 15:29:28 i know english isnt my best subject :D Sep 16 15:29:49 maslen, ah Sep 16 15:29:51 Mastaofich: It's not mine either. Think of it as a simple rule that will make you sound much more intelligent. Sep 16 15:30:11 ok :D Sep 16 15:30:27 maslen : could you help me ? Sep 16 15:31:03 Probably not. I've been programming on android for about 3 days now. Sep 16 15:31:13 ok :D Sep 16 15:31:34 Hey, I'm trying to implement the suggested solution here: http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/temporal.html#back-webviews but I can't figure out where the override is supposed to go, could anyone tell me or link me to a more complete example? Sep 16 15:32:58 how can I define what happens if I press the "back" button? my app minimizes instead of going back to main view Sep 16 15:33:48 set an onclicklistener for that button Sep 16 15:34:08 fubbi: maybe you should follow the link I just posted Sep 16 15:34:45 fubbi: main_view is an view or an activity Sep 16 15:36:39 Mastaofich: What difference would it make? Sep 16 15:36:47 how can listen for back being pressed when I'm in a fragment? Sep 16 15:36:48 (excuse my ignorance; I'm here to learn) Sep 16 15:37:23 maslen: to what ? Sep 16 15:37:56 so updates are complete re-downloads? Sep 16 15:38:02 not just patches? Sep 16 15:38:27 4.0 and lower just redownloads (e.g. Dead Trigger 149mb again) Sep 16 15:38:49 hmm Sep 16 15:38:52 ok Sep 16 15:38:53 4.1 and higher they wanted to introduce "patches" Sep 16 15:38:59 cool Sep 16 15:39:18 that will be an improvement Sep 16 15:39:36 does the download site construct the patch or does the adt plugin? Sep 16 15:40:16 Pretty sure it's not just on JB Sep 16 15:40:38 It's handled by play store Sep 16 15:40:39 jb? Sep 16 15:40:46 SimonVT, ah nice Sep 16 15:40:59 Your apk is basically a zip file.. It checks which files are new/changed/removed, and makes it match the current version Sep 16 15:41:17 SimonVT: that's what I had heard also. Sep 16 15:41:38 caverdude: Android 4.1 Jellybean Sep 16 15:41:51 ah Sep 16 15:42:51 so how can I access the WebView in my fragment from it's parent activity or the back button in my activity from it's child fragment? Sep 16 15:45:46 ah okay, it was announced in the 4.1 keynotes, "smart updates" are available on google play for all android devices since 17th August Sep 16 15:48:08 but it still shows the full app size during update, it just aborts when you downloaded enough o_O Sep 16 15:48:35 darn, i dont have enough memory to run eclipse :/ Sep 16 15:49:20 looks i'll be using maven then Sep 16 15:52:04 How to deodex a Google Nexus 7 Rom ? Sep 16 15:52:46 By going to #android-root Sep 16 15:59:25 SimonVT: +1 Sep 16 16:00:32 When i am displaying two fragments, how do I know which fragment is listening for the back, button? Is it just whichever launched first? Sep 16 16:01:04 None of them are Sep 16 16:02:06 SimonVT: okay then, what is and how can I change it's behavour? Sep 16 16:02:13 Your activity is Sep 16 16:03:24 oh yeah, of course. badly worded question. I've found where the logic needs to go. Sep 16 16:06:41 d'oh I did a find and replace for ' fragment' and forgot to make it case-sensitive Sep 16 16:24:49 Ankhwatcher: i catch it in my activity, and pass it to my fragment when needed. Sep 16 16:25:17 my fragment does whatever with it, and returns a boolean value for my activity to act upon. Sep 16 16:26:07 HorizonXP: that's exactly what I worked out;-) Sep 16 16:26:43 :) Sep 16 16:26:47 works nicely Sep 16 16:27:47 HorizonXP: http://pastebin.com/2WxUWR5V Sep 16 16:32:14 HorizonXP: now I'm trying to figure out how to reload the same web page after the device is rotated. The solution I found overloads savedInstanceState, but I'm worried about it because my fragment solution is already using savedInstanceState Sep 16 16:50:25 Ankhwatcher you could use preferences as a place to hold the current page. Sep 16 16:50:25 When you restore state to a WebView, does it reload the page it was looking at? Sep 16 16:50:45 dakun: I know, but using preferences like that tends to get messy. Sep 16 16:51:21 yeah, but i also dont know enougb about the "states" myself Sep 16 16:52:06 dakun: there are lots of helpful solutions for a webview in an activity, the trick is trying to figure out how to apply them to a fragment Sep 16 16:53:37 oh maybe this will work better, I can just save the URL instead of the whole state Sep 16 16:54:12 ahh, i havent messed with fragments yet, i should catch up. my device hasnt had 4< on it long so still kinda learning what i can do and still have devices handle it woth older versions Sep 16 16:54:54 :p i thought i said thag, i may have used the wrong words x.x Sep 16 16:54:55 dakun: fragments are rolled into support package, what I'm working on is compatible from 2.2 to 4.1 Sep 16 16:56:05 yup ive heard that too Sep 16 16:56:40 yeah i did use the wrong words, i meant url, oh well lesson learned Sep 16 18:19:09 hello Sep 16 18:19:36 eclipse is stuck at uploading the .apk file, is there any known fixes for this ? Sep 16 18:19:49 it was working for awhile, but a short while Sep 16 18:20:27 I uninstalled the app, tried making a new virtual machine, I'll try again Sep 16 18:23:05 try restarting eclipse Sep 16 18:23:18 or killing the adb serrver n restarting it Sep 16 18:23:23 or rebooting Sep 16 18:23:27 >_< Sep 16 18:23:50 ok I had already tried rebooting, not sure why it ever worked now Sep 16 18:24:07 hmmm Sep 16 18:24:11 the emulator was running super slow Sep 16 18:24:23 ARM emu? Sep 16 18:24:25 see what happens if you manually do the apk Sep 16 18:24:29 working as intended :X Sep 16 18:24:51 I increased the timeout in Window->Preferences->Android->DDMS to 360000 Sep 16 18:27:58 I also love how its so hard to program lol Sep 16 18:28:22 less competition Sep 16 18:28:51 uhm Sep 16 18:28:59 i've never found Android particularly hard to program Sep 16 18:29:12 but then, i'm one of those crazy retardos who actually reads the documentation. Sep 16 18:29:24 seems that 99.99% of people do not :P Sep 16 18:29:25 read a million billion pages ? Sep 16 18:29:51 I just tried going from modifying examples from stackoverflow Sep 16 18:30:26 already did a lot of java and *NIX before but this is a bit different Sep 16 18:31:07 yes, it is Sep 16 18:31:13 but if you read the docs, it's pretty simple Sep 16 18:31:13 java is just a language., thatls only half of it Sep 16 18:31:42 in the context of android, the language is used to describe a fairly complex, but straightforward, system architecture Sep 16 18:31:44 I'm getting the basic concept but yeah theres a lot to look at Sep 16 18:32:39 modified an efficient custom listView that loads images from the internet, so far its loading all countries with their flags Sep 16 18:32:51 zinx: good basic tutorial? I'd like to fork Dan Nubelin's Send to SD into something that can serve as a SEND shim between eBay mobile and the user browser. Sep 16 18:32:57 shmooz is it threaded? Sep 16 18:33:01 and then tried to add a AutoCompleteTextView for quick search but that was not possible Sep 16 18:33:03 Baylink: http://developer.android.com/training/index.html Sep 16 18:33:33 I'll give it a look, but the official documentation rarely has good things to be said about it, for beginners, IME... Sep 16 18:33:39 Baylink: what you're wanting is a somewhat more advanced topic, but you need to know those basics too anyway Sep 16 18:33:55 Baylink: the Android stuff is actually pretty decent Sep 16 18:34:05 the documentation these days is just about better than any android book i've looked at Sep 16 18:34:08 Hmmm. Well, there has to be a first time for eveything. :-) Sep 16 18:34:12 I followed instructions on some youtube video, not sure about the threads yet lol Sep 16 18:34:26 I've found I learn best by aiming at a goal, and picking up along the way. Sep 16 18:34:48 the API docs are some of the best i've ever seen. Sep 16 18:34:49 Baylink: there's also http://developer.android.com/guide/components/index.html for a more reference-like guide that goes in to a bit more detail Sep 16 18:34:51 yes thats my way too Baylink Sep 16 18:34:57 Baylink: and of course, the API documentation itself Sep 16 18:34:57 I already know what my app should do Sep 16 18:35:36 Baylink: if you learn along the way, the more reference-like guide may be better for you Sep 16 18:35:52 Baylink: but all the documentation is pretty stellar Sep 16 18:36:05 android bootcamp series on youtbue is pretty good but it moves slow as they are recorded from live classes and some of the audience likes to ask silly questions Sep 16 18:36:20 ok it was this tutorial ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRPj6d-9g0U Sep 16 18:37:00 he shows you how to go get the efficient LazyList example from stack overflow and add onClickListener to make it react to clicks Sep 16 18:37:19 cool Sep 16 18:37:29 I did all that, and now I'm trying to implement AutoComplete manually with a EditText Sep 16 18:37:48 why manually? Sep 16 18:37:48 because AutoCompleteTextView won't work with the custom List Sep 16 18:38:18 AutoCompleteTextView needs ArrayLists and normal ListView Sep 16 18:38:21 why not? Sep 16 18:38:48 o Sep 16 18:38:59 o_O Sep 16 18:39:29 * zinx has no idea why a view would care what its parent is Sep 16 18:39:31 why not just duplicate the list in an arrayadapter... Sep 16 18:39:40 <-- winner of Amsterdam hackathon Sep 16 18:39:50 good job xorgate Sep 16 18:40:07 was it the prostitute rating app? Sep 16 18:40:36 we used nfc and cloudmessaging Sep 16 18:40:37 because its easier said than done ?? Sep 16 18:41:00 oh, not parent, the list for stuff in it... yeah, you can put it in to a form the AutoCompleteTextView will accept a lot easier than you can reimplement it properly :/ Sep 16 18:41:28 ^^ Sep 16 18:41:41 shmooz: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AutoCompleteTextView.html#setAdapter%28T%29 Sep 16 18:42:00 trying to get some clues from this example ... http://android-helper.blogspot.ca/2011/07/android-search-in-custom-listview.html Sep 16 18:42:15 yeah i can think of a few possible ways that would be like 10 lines of code give or take Sep 16 18:42:59 dependingo n what kind of adapter the listview is backed by Sep 16 18:43:21 The LazyAdapter in the example extends BaseAdapter Sep 16 18:43:49 so it uses what, list? Sep 16 18:43:51 shmooz: well, make something that extends ListAdapter Sep 16 18:43:53 its Lazy because it only loads the images when they come into view Sep 16 18:44:04 yeah, got that Sep 16 18:44:33 actually, BaseAdapter extends ListAdapter Sep 16 18:44:49 to get EditText to NOT pop up the keyboard was a lot of work Sep 16 18:44:50 wait no Sep 16 18:44:57 wrong page :P Sep 16 18:45:03 zinx: I'm gonna fork this guys code off github, and look at it, and see if i can make head or tail... Sep 16 18:45:14 and only pop up keyboard when clicked Sep 16 18:45:19 oh, no, BaseAdapter does extend ListAdapter Sep 16 18:45:24 My OOP is rather seldom, which isn't going to help much. Sep 16 18:45:42 you're right zzinx it does, indirectly Sep 16 18:45:48 shmooz: ?? Sep 16 18:46:07 yes zinx ? Sep 16 18:46:25 you have some List that backs your LazyList adapter Sep 16 18:47:02 yes for now its just two arrays, one with links to flag images online, and one with country names Sep 16 18:47:16 shmooz: nothing in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:imeOptions controls when it pops up? Sep 16 18:47:22 all you need to do is ArrayList = new ArrayList(originalList); Sep 16 18:47:37 shmooz: hmm guess not Sep 16 18:47:51 well the LazyList constructor is weird, have to modify it Sep 16 18:48:00 then ArrayAdapter autocompleteAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(myNewArrayList, ...) Sep 16 18:48:16 then AutoCompleteText.setAdapter(autocompleteAdapte) Sep 16 18:48:40 LazyAdapter(Activity a, String[] d) Sep 16 18:48:42 three lines Sep 16 18:48:51 shmooz: i would think the IME would only pop up when it's focused in any case Sep 16 18:49:03 shmooz: in which case, the solution is simply to not focus it Sep 16 18:49:17 zinx the EditText widget pops up keyboard auto, without clicking Sep 16 18:49:23 why do you need to modify the constructor? Sep 16 18:49:24 shmooz: when it isn't focused?!?! Sep 16 18:49:28 shmooz: that has to be a bug! Sep 16 18:50:10 I have to set the defaults in xml android:focusable = "false" Sep 16 18:50:53 and then in addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher) { Sep 16 18:51:00 shmooz: make sure you don't have in it Sep 16 18:51:07 forget the lazyList adapter for a second. we're talking about an AutoCompleteText. ignore the LazyList - an adapter has to have a data set to back it, be it a list, an array, whatever. copy that data into an ArrayList (unless it's _already_ an array or arraylist) and then construct an ArrayAdapter with that and set it as the adapter for the AutoCompleteText. 3 steps Sep 16 18:51:17 onTextChanged( ... I have make it focusable again and requestFocus() Sep 16 18:52:31 shmooz: that sounds like a pretty terrible hack Sep 16 18:53:05 AutoCompleteText needs a simple ListView, I dunno how to modify the existing custom ListView Sep 16 18:53:27 I thought it was ingenious Sep 16 18:53:46 shmooz: you should really make sure the EditText doesn't have a line in it, in the xml Sep 16 18:54:01 no it doesn't Sep 16 18:54:03 no, itt needs an adapter Sep 16 18:54:06 not a list view Sep 16 18:54:08 but it does request focus by default Sep 16 18:54:09 The list of suggestions is obtained from a data adapter and appears only after a given number of characters defined by the threshold. Sep 16 18:54:38 shmooz! Sep 16 18:54:48 Hey, I've got my webview successfully restoring it's state, but if I goBack then it crashes. canGoBack() is returning true? Sep 16 18:54:53 caverdude !!! Sep 16 18:55:00 shmooz, check pm Sep 16 18:55:05 hehe my old buddy Sep 16 18:55:10 from the #java channel Sep 16 18:56:15 schmooz a ListView and ListAdapter aren't the same, you realize that? Sep 16 18:56:27 yes sortof Sep 16 18:56:31 well Sep 16 18:56:37 a listView is a View - it's a GUI component Sep 16 18:57:33 Any idea why the forward/backward list isn't working after restore? Sep 16 18:57:51 it gets it data from an Adapter - an Adapter holds a set of data (array, ArrayList, List, sqlite cursor) - and has methods to get items according to position and return views for an item Sep 16 18:58:27 shmooz: you might check out android:windowSoftInputMode Sep 16 18:58:33 shmooz: as an option to your activity Sep 16 18:58:48 shmooz: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#wsoft Sep 16 18:58:54 so when you look at the Nth item ni a list, the ListView says to tis adapter - give me a view to represent the Nth item - and the adapter looks into its data set, grabs the Nth item, populates a view and returns it Sep 16 18:59:26 ok thanks zinx I'll look at it Sep 16 18:59:50 the list view is a collections of views for each item (row) and the Adapter is the middle man between the lsit view and the data set it is backed by Sep 16 19:01:27 so Sep 16 19:02:30 you have a LazyList adapter - you feed it some data set (looks like a string array) and whenever the ListView connected to it says i need a view for item N - it lazily fetches the image n sends it back Sep 16 19:03:16 so pass that dataset to another adapter - an ArrayAdapter - and then use that for your AutoCompleteText. very simple Sep 16 19:04:53 ok thanks for the advice speakingcode Sep 16 19:05:04 or explanation Sep 16 19:09:42 np Sep 16 19:09:51 we're all in this together ;-) Sep 16 19:10:44 yeah I still have to do some reading to get my mind around things I guess Sep 16 19:11:08 but its great to have you guys and quick youtube examples to speed things up too Sep 16 19:14:45 when i want to pass data to an activity through an intent, do i need to create a listener in the activity? Sep 16 19:14:54 can somebody please help me? I have 10 linearlayouts all in a vertical linearlayout and they are all FILL_PARENT with weight=1 and they all fit evenly except for the bottom-most one. Why is this happening? I cannot seem to figure it out. I have no upper or lower margins or paddings set Sep 16 19:18:30 scant, no Sep 16 19:19:02 http://www.anotherandroidblog.com/2011/05/27/passing-data-with-an-intent/ Sep 16 19:20:02 well, if the Activity is already started and you're updating it (say, from a service for instance) you can use broadcast receiver Sep 16 19:23:40 what is the risk to reveal the public/private key of an apk Sep 16 19:25:52 my apk is authenticated with my account :/ Sep 16 19:26:10 yay, finally got eclipse to upload and install the app on the emu again, not sure what made it work Sep 16 19:26:32 raz86: you mean signing keys? Sep 16 19:26:58 p_l|backup yes Sep 16 19:28:04 raz86: unless a) you used shitty randomness source during key generation b) the other side got a quantum supercomputer with more than ~20 qbits, the chances are astronomically low Sep 16 19:28:20 bigger chance that someone will steal your private key by hacking into your box Sep 16 19:29:39 yes yes, I know this problem... but if he get this information with an other method (a post-it, for example ^^) what could he do? what is the motivation? Sep 16 19:30:08 jokes on them, they'll never look for my key on my desktop Sep 16 19:30:11 *joke's Sep 16 19:30:33 publish this same application with their name ? Sep 16 19:30:52 raz86: well, if I got your account, *and* the private key, I could push a modified version of your application (or a completely new one app) as update to yours Sep 16 19:32:02 ok, I see now, thx Sep 16 19:33:28 where I will place this post-it now :/ I could not publish my update if I lose it , lol Sep 16 19:41:55 can someone help me out? Sep 16 19:42:04 if anyone saw my question above Sep 16 19:42:15 better repeat it Sep 16 19:42:18 kk Sep 16 19:42:24 I have 10 linearlayouts all in a vertical linearlayout and they are all FILL_PARENT with weight=1 and they all fit evenly except for the bottom-most one. Why is this happening? I cannot seem to figure it out. I have no upper or lower margins or paddings set Sep 16 19:43:17 10 linearlayouts oO, design problem no? Sep 16 19:43:33 well that's the only way I can get a table to fit the screen Sep 16 19:43:36 imho your key does not fit into a postit, maybe you mean the passphrase to it Sep 16 19:44:11 SuD: well.. you can print QRcode of a key on a post it... ;) Sep 16 19:44:40 lol, geek Sep 16 19:45:32 i found a few pubkeys in qrcodes already, zxing failed with some of them btw Sep 16 19:46:24 If i lose my key release file, I can rebuild it with my pass phrase ?? Sep 16 19:46:49 no Sep 16 19:47:20 oO, I will send it by e-mail so :/ Sep 16 19:49:50 doomrobo: does-it work with 3-4 linearlayout? did you try with emulator and phone ? Sep 16 19:54:39 raz86, what do you mean 3-4? Sep 16 19:58:33 the number of linearlayout, if you reduce with 3 linearlayout Sep 16 19:59:26 or the problem occur only when you reach 10 ? Sep 16 20:00:54 Anyone use sl4a? Sep 16 20:01:03 (w/ lua interpreter) Sep 16 20:01:44 http://vhackandroid.wikia.com/wiki/Food! Sep 16 20:03:34 My webview goes null after I restoreState, is taht normal? Sep 16 20:04:13 raz86, so something weird is happening, I have everything in my LinearLayout (the horizontal) set to height fill_parent but it still only takes up the minimum height Sep 16 20:04:43 doomrobo what are yuo making? maybe a listview is better suited? Sep 16 20:04:57 xorgate, it's a schedule, there are 10 elements per day Sep 16 20:05:02 and one day fits on the screen Sep 16 20:05:10 so I want it to stretch to fit Sep 16 20:08:38 xorgate, what do I do? Sep 16 20:08:55 i have no idea Sep 16 20:09:18 at least I have confused people smarter than me :-P Sep 16 20:10:13 doomrobo: your problem is too specific, try to get an overview Sep 16 20:10:24
