**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 28 02:59:56 2012 Sep 28 03:20:16 I'm stuck on a layout. I can't figure out how to do this: http://plainservers.com/temp/android_cell_example.png Sep 28 03:20:40 I'm trying tablelayout, but not having much success Sep 28 03:22:05 droiddude ude Sep 28 03:24:01 tablelayout will work you can have col spans etc Sep 28 03:24:07 but personally I hate colspans bigtime Sep 28 03:24:19 rather tablelayout Sep 28 03:24:40 i've tried with colspans Sep 28 03:24:57 but when I want to adjust the width of the cells in the top row, it gets crazy Sep 28 03:25:12 for instance I try to use layout_weight and layout_width = 0 Sep 28 03:25:23 but the rows below it don't conform like an html table would Sep 28 04:47:53 https://gist.github.com/3797970 this code forse closes and i don't understand why Sep 28 04:48:34 what's the stacktrace say ? Sep 28 04:50:28 bankai_: https://gist.github.com/3797980 Sep 28 04:50:51 nice, solved then :) Sep 28 04:51:15 danixn: what does the error message say? Sep 28 04:51:19 coz you read it... and did what it told you to do, right ? Sep 28 04:51:22 (read it to yourself) Sep 28 04:51:49 just added the permission Sep 28 04:52:01 i think that was the problem Sep 28 04:52:49 you mean, *exactly* what the error message said, that was the problem? :) Sep 28 04:52:56 yes Sep 28 04:53:04 on eclipse i couldn't read it Sep 28 04:53:11 who would've thunk it :) Sep 28 04:53:21 still a noob Sep 28 04:53:24 ah... eclipse Sep 28 04:53:39 logcat its terrible Sep 28 04:53:54 nothing wrong with logcat Sep 28 04:54:28 maybe i am using it wrong but it keeps scrolling Sep 28 04:54:48 scroll lock button Sep 28 04:54:50 at the very end Sep 28 04:54:50 turn off Scroll Lock Sep 28 04:55:43 oh great thanx Sep 28 04:56:18 ahh eclipse Sep 28 04:56:23 you weren't good while it didn't last Sep 28 04:56:42 finishing my first day w/ intellij Sep 28 04:56:53 so much better Sep 28 04:59:08 doogan: why? Sep 28 05:00:25 there's dolphins Sep 28 05:00:26 what is the purpose of the LOOKUP_KEY IN the contacts table? why can i just use the _ID? Sep 28 05:19:16 this drawable xml is causing an error. without the gradient tag, it works fine. why? https://gist.github.com/04b4d16e003a52743653 Sep 28 05:25:45 I have an app that depends on Python. I already have code that goes online, and downloads the relevant APK to the users device. However, they still need to manually open up the APK and install it themselves. How can I make it launch the installer for the APK from within my activity? Sep 28 05:26:43 send the url to the browser. Sep 28 05:26:53 BtbN: That's how the download is being don. Sep 28 05:26:56 done* Sep 28 05:27:15 then all the user has to do is to tap the download bar in his notification are. Sep 28 05:27:21 assuming they Sep 28 05:27:29 they've got third party sources enabled Sep 28 05:27:56 I'm hoping for a brain-dead simple solution - AKA, no download bar required. Sep 28 05:28:13 you can't force- or silent-install an apk as a regular app Sep 28 05:28:34 if you depend on python, why not bundle it? it's not big... Sep 28 05:28:42 Leeds: I'm willing to take whatever restrictions are necessary. Sep 28 05:29:09 Leeds: Not my project. The professor I do work for asked if I could try to close some tickets. I want my changes to be as small as possible. Sep 28 05:29:22 you can download it and start the install from your app, but the user will *always* have to manually approve the installation Sep 28 05:29:35 That's fine with me. Sep 28 05:29:44 I just want to be able to start the install from within the app. Sep 28 05:30:46 http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=android+install+apk Sep 28 05:30:52 lots of things to look at Sep 28 05:32:16 Leeds: Thanks. I had been googling. Apparently, limiting my search to SO would've been much more productive. Sep 28 05:32:53 I'm not sure if it technically still is this way, but SO *used* to be the 'official' Q&A site for Android Sep 28 05:33:11 in that they closed the android-beginners mailing list/google group and told everyone to go there instead... Sep 28 05:33:43 it seems to be less actively endorsed now, and of course the quality of the answers varies wildly, but it's probably the biggest knowledge base of Android development Sep 28 05:34:16 heh. And of course, Google has the benefits of having someone else do all the maintenance :) Sep 28 05:34:50 that too, although I suspect they fed some cash and/or other support to SO, at least at first Sep 28 05:36:31 http://developer.android.com/support.html doesn't mention SO anymore, and I'm pretty sure it used it Sep 28 05:37:34 Every Android bug, that I've become aware of for one reason or another, that is on code.google.com has never been fixed Sep 28 05:41:01 Ologn: New features are always more exciting than bug fixes and refactoring. At least from a marketing standpoint. Sep 28 05:44:29 maslen: that's why those "bugs' become features Sep 28 05:45:39 * maslen wonders if he can turn a bad architecture into a feature somehow ... Sep 28 05:46:06 That dependency graph makes a beautiful picture of the history of mankind walking across the earth - the lines are everywhere! Sep 28 05:54:20 Leeds: I'm trying to follow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6813322/install-uninstall-apks-programmatically-packagemanager-vs-intents , (using intents) but when I do, I get a "No activity found to handle Intent" for "application/vnd.android.package-archive" , and it crashes. Sep 28 06:14:12 maslen: what are you trying to do it on? Sep 28 06:16:37 Leeds: Android emulator, v2.2 Sep 28 06:21:47 Leeds: If you have any ideas, please PM me, I'm heading to sleep. Sep 28 06:21:57 Thanks again though for your advice. Sep 28 06:53:23 Hi. if I use an override on onListItemClick for a ListActivity, when I click on an item I want the style to change, is this good approach: clicking on item changes the view background color; what I don't know is how to undo the color setting when a new item is being clicked ? Sep 28 07:00:09 Does every raw contant has its own data contant table? Sep 28 07:01:51 I took my first look on the master detail view template yesterday. Looked, googled for a couple of hours, changed some thing, but i just dont get if and how i could use different layout.xmls for the different items. Is this posible? Sep 28 07:52:02 Is it possible to remove the default shadow dropped by the actionbar? Sep 28 07:59:05 ok, did it Sep 28 08:07:00 hello all - is there an easy possiblity to reload (rebuild) a tab activity. I have a "clear history" and when pressen the content of the database is deleted but the presented history remains. Thx Sep 28 08:15:45 hey, guy is there a way to install android sdk packages on an offline ubuntu Sep 28 08:28:43 InsaneGene: What is an offline ubuntu? Sep 28 08:29:16 napster, upuntu with no internet connection Sep 28 08:29:27 ubuntu* Sep 28 08:30:39 Just copy the files Sep 28 08:30:40 InsaneGene: SDK packages are available for download as a tarball. You can download it using any other machine with an Internet connection. Sep 28 08:32:39 napster, I Don't have Ubuntu with Internet connection, I only have windows, is it possible to use the packages downloaded on windows Sep 28 08:33:23 InsaneGene: Yes, choose the one marked for Linux though. Sep 28 08:34:12 InsaneGene: Here you go : http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20.0.3-linux.tgz Sep 28 09:04:09 is it possibe to make a button and set the textSize to be relative to the button size? so when the app runs on a big screen tablet and the button expands the button text also grows in relation... Sep 28 09:30:00 How can I use radio button in a DialogFragment and using the method onRadioButtonCLicked ? Sep 28 09:56:20 is there a way to change the screen size of the android emulator? to be the size of a tablet? Sep 28 09:56:57 socket: create an AVD with the screen size you want. IIRC you could specify it there. Sep 28 09:58:13 socket, or if you want to change an existing one: AVD>Edit>Skin Sep 28 09:58:34 thanks Sep 28 10:01:51 * Lachezar may be talking stupid and angry, so he apologises in advance! Sep 28 10:02:17 so stupid, so angry, so ... considerate Sep 28 10:03:17 Is it possible, that the Bluetooth Stack of a HTC Legend is broken in a peculiar way: when I read(bufer, offset, size), it seems that the stream ZERO-s out the whole buffer before reading! Sep 28 10:03:55 Is it possible to invoke the click explicitly on a menu item? Sep 28 10:04:16 Lachezar: hmm, that is not the contract for read() Sep 28 10:04:16 I was so frustrated, that inserted a check-sum calculation on the (rest of the) buffer before and after read()-ing. Before reading it has some non-zero check sum, after reading the sum is ALWAYS zero. Sep 28 10:04:23 so that the onOptionsItemSelected() will be triggered. Sep 28 10:04:31 Lachezar: it's easy enough to validate, you fill the buffer with some value, do the read, and validate your padding is still intact Sep 28 10:04:38 alankila: Dude! That's why I'm f**king angry! Sep 28 10:05:12 i have legend too :D Sep 28 10:05:16 also you can workaround by allocating a separate buffer, then System.arraycopy the result, then file bug at google Sep 28 10:05:25 alankila: I am o Sep 28 10:05:29 ARGHHHHH Sep 28 10:05:44 we've all been there Sep 28 10:06:02 when i get there. ill remember this conversation Sep 28 10:06:05 wait the phone does have bluetooth ? Sep 28 10:06:19 alankila: I am going to try your advice, but this 'defect' is only 'available' on a single model of Phone, so defect report would probably be for naught/ Sep 28 10:06:56 * Lachezar is shaking and missing keys on the keyboard... Sep 28 10:07:14 if that is the case, you workaround and move on. Sep 28 10:07:22 shit happens. Sep 28 10:07:34 Is it possible to invoke the click explicitly on a menu item, so that the onOptionsItemSelected() will be triggered? Sep 28 10:07:36 is there a way/an app which uses sensor data from a real device as input for a emulated device? Sep 28 10:07:52 Lachezar: and a 2.5-year-old phone at that... Sep 28 10:08:02 alankila: The problem is this is a library for Java (not Android). So I'll have to it generally, and (possibly) reduce performance everywhere... Sep 28 10:08:52 Leeds: That is NO excuse! likes old stuff (reduces TCO), so I'll be writing code for Android 2.1-update1 or a long time. Sep 28 10:09:13 napster: why not call the method manually? Sep 28 10:09:37 Lachezar: it'll be very hard - let's be honest, impossible - to get anyone to care about a bug in 2.1 Sep 28 10:10:06 Lachezar: Is that suggested really? Sep 28 10:10:42 Leeds: I am pretty sure that's true. Especially keeping in mind that HTC is notorious for not supporting devices that are not top-class newest... They need to sell (market) their new devices, and that's a serious leverage. Sep 28 10:10:44 is it okey to call onOptionsItemSelected() manually? Sep 28 10:10:51 Lachezar: if you are serious about the performance impact, you can test if there is this bug or not Sep 28 10:11:09 but I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. The data rate of bluetooth is so low that I doubt it's measurable in practice. Sep 28 10:11:34 alankila: I've tested: checksum before read: non-zero, checksum after read: zero. (check-summing only the non-read part of the buffer). Sep 28 10:11:36 something like < 100 kB/s, right? Or if you deal with A2DP profile, then I guess it's more than that, but only around double or something. Sep 28 10:12:01 alankila: Yes, but that's the point: the library uses BT on Android ONLY... Sep 28 10:12:36 alankila: Don't get me wrong... I'll work that around and keep struggling on, but... Argh! Sep 28 10:13:21 napster: Some methods may not be called manualy (lifecycle methods), others have no such attachments. Sep 28 10:13:34 ok Sep 28 10:14:05 napster: If you're worried: extract the workhorse code in a separate method, call that method from onOptionsItemSelected(), and also call it when you want to simulate selection. Sep 28 10:15:43 Lachezar: hmm, actually I need to pass the menu item as well, since I'm using an actionbar and I want to animate this particular item. Let me see how it goes with an explicit call to OnOptionsItemSelected() Sep 28 10:18:55 alankila: Work-around works... Now I need to test in on the other 6 models we're using. But at least now I feel... Better... :) Sep 28 10:29:52 Lachezar: why not just put the busted device in the market exclude list ? Sep 28 10:30:18 oh, you got it working heh Sep 28 10:34:25 g00s: No Market... : a closed-group of users, not public. I must make it work on the devices has. Sep 28 10:34:59 you just need to enter a higher price Sep 28 10:35:16 unless it's just your job Sep 28 10:35:29 then it doesn't matter how long it takes until they fire you. Sep 28 10:35:39 yeah, htc has been notoriously aweful about bluetooth in the past - dunno o=about now. Sep 28 10:35:55 in some cases, you simply will not get it to work Sep 28 10:36:08 HTC Desire, Thunderbolt Sep 28 10:36:24 I had one HTC device, that was enough for me. Sep 28 10:36:49 for what it's worth, is Capt'n Kirk happy about using devices which don't really have any software or hardware support from the vendor? Sep 28 10:37:02 seems like they are shifting back to windows phone; i think they started off with windows mobile anyhwo Sep 28 10:37:10 amazingly enough, I have bought 2 samsungs. One samsung would have sufficed without cyanogenmod, though Sep 28 10:37:16 how to clear Spans on EditText??? Sep 28 10:37:26 or Editable Sep 28 10:45:00 clearspan() and removing one by one not working correctly, throwing Exception Sep 28 10:45:21 after a while Sep 28 10:45:28 i hate that span shit Sep 28 10:45:44 * g00s rediscovers his live for FreeMind Sep 28 10:45:47 I hate the way it's been put in the damn XML Sep 28 10:45:48 *love Sep 28 10:46:34 android is not adjusted to the total work of Span Sep 28 10:46:40 not fully realized Sep 28 10:47:17 d*mn sh*t buggy Sep 28 10:48:42 when in editext "text" setted imagespan and insert in "te|xt" some symbols its resing :( Sep 28 10:48:59 any one know how to prevent this? Sep 28 10:49:01 it wouldnt be so bad, being buggy as it is, if google could push updates to everyone like apple can … Sep 28 10:49:14 but the combination of bugs and slow updates = train wreck Sep 28 10:49:47 is onActivityResult called before onStart ? Sep 28 10:50:14 flam_: heh. on my phone it is, if i recall Sep 28 10:50:41 but there was a bug in the docs, that made it sounds like it didn't Sep 28 10:50:56 even dh thought the docs were right, but android did it before onStart Sep 28 10:51:03 * when in editext "text" setted imagespan and insert in "te|xt" some symbols its resizing :( how to prevent this??? Sep 28 10:51:19 g00s Sep 28 10:51:52 "You will receive this call immediately before onResume() when your activity is re-starting." Sep 28 10:52:14 and how to clear spans on Editable(EditText)? Sep 28 10:54:04 so many people in the channel and no use Sep 28 10:55:54 cant find the google groups thread Sep 28 10:59:28 hi Sep 28 11:00:32 I'm trying to start an animation, but can only get it to fire once Sep 28 11:00:49 it's a new animation object every time but it will only fire the first time Sep 28 11:00:52 code: http://pastebin.com/NPfEHZTD Sep 28 11:04:13 Hi - how can I detect swipe events? Sep 28 11:04:35 I could implement it with a combination of ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP but there must be a better way? Sep 28 11:05:44 Bacta: http://bit.ly/QiYyld Sep 28 11:06:48 Anyone that actually knows what they're talking about? I heard this can be approached in a few different ways Sep 28 11:10:02 Bacta: Don't be so ungrateful of help, http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/GestureDetector.html Sep 28 11:13:29 Will all motion events be delegated to this? I already detect ACTION_DOWN Sep 28 11:15:29 "The GestureDetector.OnGestureListener callback will notify users when a particular motion event has occurred. " Sep 28 11:16:02 now let's look at OnGestureListener: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/GestureDetector.OnGestureListener.html Sep 28 11:16:28 how about that, there's the gestures it supports wrapped nicely in methods Sep 28 11:18:04 I suggest you Read The Friendly Manual here =) Sep 28 11:18:30 Hi, does anyone got any how to use openssl-android as a SSL provider ? Sep 28 11:20:47 Bacta: You're welcome Sep 28 11:21:07 ;) Sep 28 11:21:54 alankila, goos: It's my pay-check job. And the product is not 'sold'. I work for an in-house development team. Sep 28 11:22:23 test, I'm visible ? Sep 28 11:25:37 Anyone get annoyed with adb when you have more than one emulator or device running, having to pass the serial number? Sep 28 11:26:01 especially more than one device (I know about -d and -e) Sep 28 11:26:01 no, where's the problem= Sep 28 11:27:10 can anyone please link to a page that shows possible responses from GCM when you pass it a message to send? cant seem to find it in the docs Sep 28 11:35:29 hmm. need to keep record of where int is basically how often string has been used. What's best way to sort so I could then get 10 most frequent strings? Is there suitable ready made collection or do I need to create my own? Sep 28 11:44:18 mrenouf: Use a Shell Variable to specify the ID of the device you want to communicate with: ANDROID_SERIAL. Sep 28 11:45:04 tneva82: SQLite. Table + Index Sep 28 12:03:52 hi, I was just wondering if Java 64-bit will work with Android SDK? I remember having a problem last time I tried some time ago. Sep 28 12:04:06 there's a new java language for 64 bit oss? Sep 28 12:04:38 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u7-downloads-1836413.html Sep 28 12:04:39 eindoofus: and you need 32 bit for the sdk on windows Sep 28 12:04:50 os x works fine whatever that runs Sep 28 12:05:18 eesh, so I can't use the Windows x64 version of Java then? Sep 28 12:06:18 why would that be? isn't os x lion 64 bit? Sep 28 12:16:36 how can I create app, which will convert text from photo to text? any ideas? tips? where search? Sep 28 12:16:39 hi* Sep 28 12:16:39 :D Sep 28 12:17:10 eindoofus: it just means that you need to install the 32-bit version of java Sep 28 12:24:18 hi Sep 28 12:24:22 konradb: OCR, but that's a *VERY* tall order. Sep 28 12:24:40 I need help with overriding of Fragment Sep 28 12:25:09 konradb: use opencv for android Sep 28 12:25:19 and search for pattern matching Sep 28 12:25:28 konradb: Seems there is some help: http://code.google.com/p/tesjeract/ Sep 28 12:25:36 but Sep 28 12:25:37 I think there is a sample in opencv reading text from table plates Sep 28 12:25:45 i am overriding the "OnCreateView" method, inflating a LinearLayout as root which has a ListView.... but when i use this Fragment-subclass, i get NPE Sep 28 12:25:58 of if it is very tall order, I wont do it D: Sep 28 12:26:00 but Lachezar's link looks nice too Sep 28 12:26:19 is it possible to send a plain text message through GCM, but receive a JSON response? Sep 28 12:26:44 Can anyone help me out with Fragment overriding issue???? Sep 28 12:26:56 hello??? Sep 28 12:27:13 Damn it! this room keeps so dead all the time! Sep 28 12:29:20 Clandestine: it's not dead Sep 28 12:29:28 but people are doing their job Sep 28 12:30:56 is there any sample code or library to create a multi item listview in android ? my listview consists of different layout items .. Sep 28 12:31:44 Clandestine: Not to mention, that the description of your issue is pretty vague... Did you look at th eline the NPE happens? Sep 28 12:32:22 chinmaya: d oyou have custom items or what ? Sep 28 12:32:27 Clandestine: Use pastebin to post the NPE. Sep 28 12:33:24 yes , something like settings listview in android ICS version 4.1.1 Sep 28 12:33:54 alankila: Just for the record: at the end I did the _smart_ thing, and created InputStream subclass, that wraps the Bluetooh InputStream and fixes the behaviour using a temporary buffer. And this way I need not touch the original library. Sep 28 12:33:55 gorudonu, ^ Sep 28 12:34:05 chinmaya: wait a sec Sep 28 12:34:09 I need to check Sep 28 12:34:17 AFAIK it's normal list with pics Sep 28 12:34:57 gorudonu, let me share a screenshot of my listitem Sep 28 12:35:04 k Sep 28 12:35:30 hi, is it possible to set PS1 on device permanently, not only per session, phone is not rooted? Sep 28 12:37:04 gorudonu, http://wstaw.org/w/1ntJ/ Sep 28 12:38:02 gorudonu, at the end of the list there is a item which has only text , like a more button Sep 28 12:39:06 a ok Sep 28 12:39:55 wait a sec Sep 28 12:39:57 I'm searching Sep 28 12:43:00 chinmaya: http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/lists.html Sep 28 12:45:50 so if you use listview and dividers you wont have this problem Sep 28 12:45:59 and use custom style to style the elements Sep 28 12:46:27 gorudonu, i have already created the list using baseadapter , but i am looking for a library to create easily this custom listview Sep 28 12:46:55 ah Sep 28 12:47:01 sorry for misunderstanding Sep 28 12:48:51 I don't know any library like that Sep 28 12:53:13 Hi there, how can I change the preferred network (2G/3G) directly from within an app? I gues it must have something to do with com.android.phone, as a standalone app, created with Tasker App Factory, whose only purpose it is to change the preferred network, uses the com.android.phone.CHANGE_NETWORK_MODE permission. Sep 28 12:53:28 *I guess Sep 28 12:57:41 can anyone share how to remove the gallery app from the emulator or is it not possible to remove it ? Sep 28 13:07:23 When would it be preferable to put code in surfaceCreated as opposed to the activity constructor? Sep 28 13:15:26 anyone knows if there's service in android for doing continuous monitoring of kernel/userspace events/states and defining logs/gpio/commands/leds actions based on results Sep 28 13:16:19 Hello there, where to find good android designers to help out on a project? Sep 28 13:17:03 caioketo: Learn to draw? Sep 28 13:18:55 So I've approached overriding ondraw on a drawable to draw a dynamically sized shape behind both a linear layout wrapping an edittext and an edit text on its own. Problem is, ondraw is hit over and over again with different canvas clip sizes (the first being the background, second and on being the cursor over and over again). Am I approaching a custom background drawable wrong? Is there a smarter way to draw c Sep 28 13:32:55 jero: there isn't until you build it! :D Sep 28 13:44:49 hello, if i only want to open app1 from app2 what can i do to hide the app1 launcher ? Sep 28 13:45:25 loin: don't include a launcher intent filter for any activiies Sep 28 13:45:59 wongk, what Sep 28 13:46:05 wongk, what's a launcher intent? Sep 28 13:46:15 intent filter Sep 28 13:46:27 you know what those are, gight? Sep 28 13:46:27 is it this? Sep 28 13:46:32 yes Sep 28 13:46:59 but there are some apps that don't have that Sep 28 13:46:59 yet still appear there Sep 28 13:47:11 i don't believe you :P Sep 28 13:48:52 truth is i am quite new at this Sep 28 13:49:19 loin: sorry, you're wrong. Sep 28 13:49:41 well, this is a perfect opportunity to learn about intents and intent filters Sep 28 13:49:41 lov, most likely, that's why i'm here Sep 28 13:49:41 if your filter doesn't have the MAIN action and the LAUNCHER category it won't show up in the launcher, period. Sep 28 13:49:57 loin: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-filters.html Sep 28 13:49:58 read up :> Sep 28 13:50:08 will do lov thank you Sep 28 13:50:12 also thank you too wongk Sep 28 13:50:22 Is there any way to check if an asynctask instance is used once? Sep 28 13:50:37 add a member to track such info Sep 28 13:50:53 loin: fwiw, having an application with no activity is somewhat problematic; in ICS if the user force closes an application, it will stay closed and stopped until an activity in it is opened. Sep 28 13:52:35 lov, good thing i don't use ics :) Sep 28 13:52:40 lov, thanks for the info Sep 28 13:53:03 lov, even if a broadcast receiver is defined and triggered? Sep 28 13:53:11 lov, I thought that's only a first-use thing Sep 28 13:53:11 it sounds like the app has an activity, anyway, because it had the launcher intent filter Sep 28 13:53:11 lov: that's why I'm asking Sep 28 13:55:19 hi. what should I use to make the bucket of Microsoft's paint? Sep 28 13:55:35 i mean of course in coding Sep 28 13:56:10 Sicp, hi mate Sep 28 13:56:10 I hope you are my savior Sep 28 13:56:25 hi. what should I use to write the code of the bucket of Microsoft's paint? Sep 28 13:56:34 ... Sep 28 13:56:41 learn to code? Sep 28 13:56:57 pfn, don't be silly! Sep 28 13:56:59 pro tips: harassing new people joining the channel and repeating yourself before anyone has time to think about your question are not endearing traits Sep 28 13:57:00 heh! Sep 28 13:57:13 superlinux-hp: I recommend that you consult any textbook on graphics from around 1970 to 1990 because they'll likely give a simple algorithm to accomplish this. Sep 28 13:57:51 damn, and i have one from 1991 i owuld have given you, too Sep 28 13:58:04 but it's no good! ;) Sep 28 13:58:04 I said "around" :P Sep 28 13:58:26 =] Sep 28 13:58:27 pfn: I'm pretty sure that this is the case, yes. Sep 28 13:58:44 pfn: the idea is that you don't have a malicious or broken app listening to something like the wall clock broadcast intents, and constantly restarting itself. Sep 28 13:58:44 Hodapp, I found this. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5765619/implementing-a-bucket-like-method-in-android. but the comments say that it'll make the application crashed Sep 28 13:58:44 pfn: activities are something user visible and (generally) user controlled Sep 28 13:59:18 I guess that's changed behavior Sep 28 13:59:23 09:57:19 < Hodapp> superlinux-hp: I recommend that you consult any textbook on graphics from around 1970 to 1990 because they'll likely give a simple algorithm to accomplish this. Sep 28 13:59:27 ^^ Sep 28 13:59:32 think through what you want to do, and then do it. Sep 28 13:59:38 no one is going to just do your work for you. Sep 28 14:00:03 your task is to find a region suitable for flood fill Sep 28 14:00:07 how you define boundries is up to you Sep 28 14:00:38 lov, i am NOT asking you to tell me the solution. I asked you what are the things I must use for graphics in the API? Sep 28 14:00:38 uh, the bitmap class probably? Sep 28 14:00:38 * lov shrugs Sep 28 14:00:41 for example.. I could not understand the Path class Sep 28 14:00:46 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html Sep 28 14:00:56 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas.html Sep 28 14:01:08 what's it for.. can you tell me in plian words Sep 28 14:01:16 no. Sep 28 14:01:20 If I call setOnCreateContextMenuListener on the View returned by getView from my Adapter then the onItemClickListener doesn't get called. Any way to have both of these? Sep 28 14:01:24 I can encourage you to read the documentation Sep 28 14:01:32 because I don't have time to hold your hand through "what is a bitmap" Sep 28 14:01:32 Bitmap and Canvas are understandable to me by now Sep 28 14:02:33 superlinux-hp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill Sep 28 14:02:33 do this. Sep 28 14:02:36 ok thanks Sep 28 14:03:01 i saw the link but i just skipped it.. thanks Sep 28 14:04:37 Traversing through the NotePad android example and I'm trying to understand how overriding onDraw on the edittext is possibly working- the code uses an empty Rect to specify the left and right bounds. Is what ever is drawn in OnDraw auto scaled? Sep 28 14:11:12 seabiscuit_1080, not auto-scaled Sep 28 14:12:08 I think I figured out part of my problem, actually- I think I need to capture the view size from onSizeChanged and use that instead of the canvas.clipbounds for sizing the background. Sep 28 14:29:28 Hi. Sep 28 14:29:37 How can I set the icons of (actionbar) tabs? Sep 28 14:32:10 hi, is this possible? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12640938/android-tablelayout-span-element-accros-two-rows Sep 28 14:34:24 hmm, can I embed ddms in eclipse without installing adt? Sep 28 14:38:58 hi guys Sep 28 14:39:37 i have a webview with a banner ad view at the bottom of the webview Sep 28 14:40:05 on click of the webview i hide the view Sep 28 14:40:25 and after 3 secs it reappears Sep 28 14:40:48 the problem is that when it reappears it hides the bottom line of the webview Sep 28 14:41:05 how can resolve this issue? Sep 28 14:42:07 i wan't the webview to scroll up when the banner ad view reappears Sep 28 14:44:37 anyone ? Sep 28 14:49:02 i really wish my friggin GPS could get a lock Sep 28 14:50:05 wongk, do a barrel roll! Sep 28 14:52:28 ya know what really bugs me about developing in eclipse? Sep 28 14:52:48 if R.id.foo satisfies ANY foo in the application then it doesnt show an error, even if the current layout isnt inflated for this variable Sep 28 15:00:02 uh, ok? Sep 28 15:00:44 bear in mind that you can have different layouts for different configurations Sep 28 15:01:15 you can also call setLayoutView at different times in the activity (though it's usually a dumb idea) Sep 28 15:01:22 s/setLayoutView/setLayout/ Sep 28 15:01:43 runtime vs compile time will always get you Sep 28 15:01:50 Hi Sep 28 15:02:58 I have sherlock tabs. From Tab3 I call sherlockActivity. This activity deletes something from database and ends with .finish(), view returns to Tab3, but it does not refresh. How to get "on resume" of the certain tab? Sep 28 15:03:28 you need to requery your cursor and tell the listview to update (assuming tab 3 has a list from your database) Sep 28 15:03:56 pardon me, Tab3 is SherlockListActivity, I open member of the list, delete/rename it, and when it's done TAB3 should be recreated Sep 28 15:04:04 Balky: the tab is a Fragment, yes? Sep 28 15:04:19 Yes, tab is SherlockListFragment Sep 28 15:04:29 then you can override onResume Sep 28 15:05:25 I did that, but what happens is it does run, but not onResume but rather on "next" action after resume which looks ugly Sep 28 15:05:51 so it returns, looks like nothing happend, then I need to touch / swithc tab and return to tab3 to see it refreshed Sep 28 15:06:00 lov, why coudlnt it go backwards to the closest layout set, it follows other things of similar compleixty Sep 28 15:06:21 Balky: does the temporary activity never display anything on screen? Sep 28 15:07:06 no, screen looks like it was when I opened activity... Sep 28 15:07:09 so if I delete one entry Sep 28 15:07:14 then open second one Sep 28 15:07:21 it will refresh but to late Sep 28 15:08:15 Balky: perhaps an ever better way is to use startActivityForResult Sep 28 15:08:18 even Sep 28 15:08:44 lov, seems like it's pretty easy to go through the compilation process and just tag the last layout set, checking each findViewById against the currently inflated layout Sep 28 15:08:45 that way this code isn't executed every time the activity is resumed Sep 28 15:09:26 could be better... but I do not return anything actualy ... I do changes in DB Sep 28 15:09:52 Balky: doesn't matter Sep 28 15:09:53 I need to run a ROM in the SDK as an AVD. Is there a tool that can package the system directory into system.img so i can use that in my AVD? Sep 28 15:10:03 kaneda^: how do you determine what the last layout set was? Sep 28 15:10:21 lov, all gui operations happen on the same thread Sep 28 15:10:35 if(prefs.showFoo()) { setLayout(R.layout.foo); } else { setLayout(R.layout.bar); } Sep 28 15:10:40 against what shall I check here? Sep 28 15:10:42 do I check both? Sep 28 15:10:55 lov, yep Sep 28 15:10:59 wongk: will check Sep 28 15:11:17 lov, that would be the desired behavior Sep 28 15:11:25 kaneda^: alright, patches welcome then. Sep 28 15:11:38 if you feel you can solve this problem, I don't think anyone will stop you. Sep 28 15:12:16 lov, it's just an issue of dependency mapping, for every time a gui operation would set a layout, what are all calling functions Sep 28 15:12:31 i think you'll find that most of the time you'll be limited to a short list of possible layouts instead of the entire project Sep 28 15:13:21 Unfortunately, if you don't create a rigorous implementation for the linter, it's possible that it's going to squawk about a bunch of things that are actually fine, and people will just turn it off Sep 28 15:13:26 but again, feel free to implement this and submit it. Sep 28 15:13:46 pfn: ping Sep 28 15:15:14 hello, how can i set the default gps state? Sep 28 15:16:09 loin: uh, what? Sep 28 15:16:27 lov, i want to set up the default states for various services Sep 28 15:16:38 including gps, mobile networks, bluetooth Sep 28 15:16:51
