**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 14 03:00:00 2013 Feb 14 03:00:19 canadiancow: never having a nexus device, when it says "It was upgraded to the latest Android software 4.1 (Jelly Bean) in mid-July 2012" but upgradeable to 4.2.2 , what does that mean ? Feb 14 03:01:08 does it mean OTAs stop, but you can grab something yourself ? Feb 14 03:01:20 some official build Feb 14 03:01:35 g00s: i'm pretty sure it is still getting OTA updates Feb 14 03:02:03 g00s: I expect my daily phone galaxy nexus to be supported for another 2 year Feb 14 03:02:05 s Feb 14 03:02:22 2 years? :) Feb 14 03:02:27 StingRay_: that extra 's' won't count for your stats :) Feb 14 03:02:42 lol Feb 14 03:02:45 I hope not Feb 14 03:02:53 lol doesn't count either :D Feb 14 03:03:11 * StingRay_ doesnt want an increase at all Feb 14 03:04:50 but StingRay_ , on the wikipedia page, the 'Release Date' and 'Last update date' weren't 2 years for the N1 and Nexus S Feb 14 03:10:04 uh, i haven't used the emu in a while. after i start it, and do 'adb devices' it should show up, right ? Feb 14 03:10:21 it isn't :/ Feb 14 03:10:59 g00s: Yeah, there are meny different Galaxy Nexus. The "yakjuxw" is the one sold by Samsung, it is stuck at 4.1. The normal "yakju" is sold by Google and gets OTA and is at 4.2.1 Feb 14 03:11:25 kakazza: thanks, i forgot about that Feb 14 03:12:10 Also takju, which is US, I think. Feb 14 03:12:49 I recently flashed a Galaxy Nexus from yakjuxw to yakju, so it will get OTA Updates in the future. A wipe was necessary though. Feb 14 03:13:03 The wipe was however no problem because of the awesome 'adb backup' command. Feb 14 03:13:26 do i get free $25 Feb 14 03:13:31 if i buy a nexus product? Feb 14 03:13:49 Huh? Feb 14 03:14:07 Are you talking about the - iirc - preorder bonus for the Nexus 7? Feb 14 03:14:49 That is not available anymore afaik since it was a _pre_order bonus. Feb 14 03:21:49 anyone get that dev unit of leap motion? Feb 14 03:22:03 got mine coming in, wondering if its *that* interesting Feb 14 03:36:03 how do i access a subclasses function w/in a function of the father class Feb 14 03:38:36 acidjazz, Isn't it super.whatever? Feb 14 03:40:31 I am trying to send a binder over for callback. is there anything I need to do like register it somewhere Feb 14 03:40:48 when the other side gets the object, it throws a RunTimeException when it tries to access it Feb 14 03:45:03 acidjazz: methods requiring that behavior should probably be abstract. Feb 14 03:46:29 kakazza, yakju is not sold by google Feb 14 03:46:32 takju is sold by google Feb 14 03:46:55 and according to androidpolice, they're both at 4.2.2 now Feb 14 03:48:01 Then what is different between yakju and yakjuxw? I know the latter is sold by Samsung. At least I read that Feb 14 03:48:22 Or rather, maintained by Samsung iirc Feb 14 03:48:27 novie: https://gist.github.com/acidjazz/4950224 i need to use a function that has inherited DroidGap inside this onReceive function Feb 14 03:49:09 no idea what DroidGap is :) Feb 14 03:49:13 "Yakju is the exact same device sold internationally by Google, but doesn’t ship with Google Wallet. Yakjuxx is the exact same device sold internationally by Samsung." Feb 14 03:49:37 novie: its jsut a package included w/ phonegap to pass data to javascript.. but thats kind of irellevant right Feb 14 03:50:09 novie: heres an example.. https://gist.github.com/acidjazz/4950502 Feb 14 03:50:40 acidjazz: I don't see what you are trying to do. What method on what class are you trying to call? Feb 14 03:53:03 using pin points on a map, is there a way to get them to scale/stretch with the map? I noticed that on a map using an icon, it stays the same size and thus looks weird as the user zooms in/out Feb 14 03:53:18 I have a radius circle around this icon which makes it even more awkward as the user zooms out Feb 14 03:56:55 should callbacks for AIDL be inout parameters? Feb 14 03:56:59 or just in Feb 14 03:57:13 I notice that when my service tries to callback on the AIDL object, it crashes Feb 14 03:57:25 and I think it is because it is trying to "write" to an "in" object Feb 14 04:00:31 novie: im trying ot harness the extension of the DroidGap class in the class receiver class Feb 14 04:01:29 acidjazz: the DroidGap class looks like an Activity. Feb 14 04:01:38 it is not clear what you are trying to do here... Feb 14 04:02:42 see the super.loadUrl() Feb 14 04:02:53 thats part of DroidGap.. and i need to pass referrerString into that Feb 14 04:02:58 im sorry im a java noob Feb 14 04:04:18 hi Feb 14 04:04:25 is there anyone here mad at me? Feb 14 04:04:39 anyone? Feb 14 04:05:05 the deepest innermost hatred is hard to find so i guess no on will answer Feb 14 04:05:47 linuxuz3r_ what? Feb 14 04:06:04 nothing Feb 14 04:06:13 i just get paranoid moments again Feb 14 04:06:26 can you please stay on topic here... Feb 14 04:06:33 ok Feb 14 04:06:47 novie: am i still not being clear? Feb 14 04:06:59 acidjazz: you need to start the activity and pass the referrer. Feb 14 04:07:19 you can't just call the method from the receiver, it won't work. Feb 14 04:07:26 i see Feb 14 04:07:33 so i need to start teh activity w/in the referrerr class Feb 14 04:08:10 no idea how to do that.. Feb 14 04:08:35 http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/starting.html Feb 14 04:08:45 you should probably spend some time with the getting started guide. Feb 14 04:09:13 yea id like to.. only issue is im writing a proposal TO write an app Feb 14 04:09:34 eek. Feb 14 04:09:40 so im just doing a prototype to win this 1st Feb 14 04:10:37 w/ a js background i was able to get phonegap going.. w/help from here i was able to write receiver and have it work w/ log.w().. now i just need to pass it to loadUrl so i cna show it off Feb 14 04:11:00 that link shows how to start an activity. Feb 14 04:11:07 yae i read through it Feb 14 04:11:17 I don't know anything about phonegap, and glad I don't :) Feb 14 04:11:26 how about teh sms_sxsw class you saw Feb 14 04:11:32 that is an activity Feb 14 04:11:44 do you imaginne an easy way i can get the receiver string in there? Feb 14 04:12:13 I told you where to look for that info. Not really interested in writing that for you. Feb 14 04:12:25 this https://gist.github.com/acidjazz/4950559 Feb 14 04:12:27 yea im not asking that Feb 14 04:12:49 w/ this i was able to pass the IMEI back Feb 14 04:13:07 but i can get that instantly.. hwere as the receiver class grabs a referral whenever its returned Feb 14 04:13:44 yea receivers don't work that way... Feb 14 04:14:03 if that activity is already running, you'd essentially be restarting it Feb 14 04:14:33 kakazza, google only directly sold the GN in the united states, and it was takju Feb 14 04:14:41 im not sure exactly what yakju is Feb 14 04:14:56 i know the updates come from google, but im not sure how the sales worked Feb 14 04:15:31 novie: so the functionality to pass this value to DroidGap would have to be in the receiver class then? Feb 14 04:16:17 what is calling this receiver? Feb 14 04:16:32 yakju is takju without Wallet Feb 14 04:16:59 Feb 14 04:17:09 intent-filter.. Feb 14 04:17:39 novie: you can get this option allt eh way from play.google.com/app/details?id=yourapp&referrer=thisdata Feb 14 04:18:17 acidjazz: I don't believe that would execute when your app is running in the foreground... Feb 14 04:18:32 it does ive tested it Feb 14 04:18:34 the log.w() runs Feb 14 04:18:42 ive tested it in adb and via google play Feb 14 04:19:07 what I mean is it may not be guaranteed to. Feb 14 04:19:26 upon app install its worked every time Feb 14 04:19:34 i change the variable/etc it passes thorugh Feb 14 04:19:56 I understand that, but if that DroidGap activity isn't running you'll be basically popping up a screen when that is fired. Feb 14 04:20:33 ok how about a static global variable i set the string to that DroidGap can check on at some point? Feb 14 04:21:05 im not tryign to build an app i just need a simple duct tape solution of some kind to pass this through Feb 14 04:21:17 then i win the gig and have the time to learn to do it properly Feb 14 04:21:20 lol Feb 14 04:22:36 im guessing thats a no Feb 14 04:23:45 novie: this direction is no bueno? https://gist.github.com/acidjazz/4950592 Feb 14 04:23:51 i'm not going to sit here and write the code. if you need to pass that along when the app is run after install have a look at sharedpreferences Feb 14 04:24:06 acidjazz: no that code will not work. Feb 14 04:24:12 im not asking you to do this im asking for a possibility Feb 14 04:26:36 acidjazz: look at sharedpreferences. you can store the referrer there and then pull it in the activity to pass along to the webview Feb 14 04:27:57 thanks Feb 14 04:34:50 anyone have ideas on what I need to look into to scale my png on mapview so it doesn't look awkward when zooming in/out? Feb 14 04:35:08 I'm looking at bitmap scaling options for MapView but not really running into any solutions Feb 14 04:40:09 novie: so now im back to square one Feb 14 04:40:31 novie: ive imported sharedPreferences and i want to call getSharedPreferences() inside my receiver class Feb 14 04:40:58 you need to read the API documentation for SharedPreferences Feb 14 04:40:59 novie: how do i acess this function? Feb 14 04:41:03 i read it Feb 14 04:41:12 i need to instantiate it. do a putString and then commit() Feb 14 04:41:20 im asking you a java question.. same exactly original question Feb 14 04:41:22 https://www.google.com/search?q=android+accessing+preferences&aq=f&oq=android+accessing+preferences&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Feb 14 04:41:31 yup Feb 14 04:41:39 more specifically Feb 14 04:41:40 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2614719/how-do-i-get-the-sharedpreferences-from-a-preferenceactivity-in-android Feb 14 04:42:09 the answer that is checked works in activities that aren't preferenceactivity Feb 14 04:42:16 Google is your friend :) Feb 14 04:44:17 yea i google 10x before i ask you trust me Feb 14 04:44:20 context. i see Feb 14 04:53:24 cool works thanks Feb 14 04:53:50 so now that i can pass parameters into an app during install i got one more task.. i need to detect if an app is installed via a web intent Feb 14 05:34:22 my device only supports 2.2 but I want to use an app that doesn't run on 2.2 is there any way to get around this? Feb 14 05:34:59 uhh Feb 14 05:35:41 no Feb 14 05:35:58 get a newer device, or email the developer and ask really nicely Feb 14 05:36:04 but 2.2 isnt very popular Feb 14 05:36:36 I know Firefox gets around this sort of thing but using a User Agent add-on.. nothing like that available? Feb 14 05:37:11 but why would you want to run an app that clearly requires 2.3+ or whatever that is higher than 2.2 Feb 14 05:37:14 ? Feb 14 05:37:22 it probably will crash/not function properly Feb 14 05:38:05 because Nintendo just released a Pokemon app for iOs and Android. it's their first app for the states and I wanted to check it out Feb 14 05:38:21 this also isn't a -dev question... Feb 14 05:38:35 that too Feb 14 05:38:38 on top of being pointless :) Feb 14 05:38:48 novie, you seem fairly active these last few days :) Feb 14 05:39:08 irccloud is much nicer than it was before. Feb 14 05:39:16 so I don't forget about irc :) Feb 14 05:39:24 lol Feb 14 05:40:29 I thought it might be dev oriented because maybe someone here could help me make it happen. maybe the app could be tricked into running or something Feb 14 05:40:51 nope, not something done here. Feb 14 05:40:57 this is for app development. Feb 14 05:41:26 here's app dev question... how do I scale my png marker as I zoom in/out in MapView? Feb 14 05:41:57 QubeZ: no idea, just like the last dozen times you asked :) Feb 14 05:42:10 novie: at least you noticed =) Feb 14 05:42:18 I'll stop Feb 14 05:42:28 :) Feb 14 05:42:44 lol Feb 14 05:42:51 man I've been getting on this extreme couponing kick lately Feb 14 05:43:13 in last 6 weeks, I've gotten household items 7 months stockpiled and up $50 Feb 14 05:44:43 wow Feb 14 05:44:54 i tried buying a large box of toilet paper recently Feb 14 05:44:57 i have nowhere to put it Feb 14 05:45:03 haha Feb 14 05:45:27 Saturday I ran through 4 walgreens and made $85 in that one day, as an experiment Feb 14 05:45:36 got 49 scrubbing bubbles toilet drop-ins Feb 14 05:45:38 what do you mean "made $85" Feb 14 05:45:39 so im trying to pull web params when my app is launched then an intent.. i got Uri data = getIntent.getData(); which is fine btu when i List params = data.getPathSegments(); when my app is NOT launched via the web it crashes.. what sort of check can i write to stop this from happening? if (data.getPathSegments() != null) didnt work Feb 14 05:45:53 canadiancow: I racked up 75,000 pts at walgreens Feb 14 05:45:58 = $85 Feb 14 05:46:00 ah Feb 14 05:46:16 out of pocket vs rewards at the store Feb 14 05:46:42 im kind of hooked on it now Feb 14 05:47:03 send me something for walgreens next time Feb 14 05:47:09 tell me how this works Feb 14 05:47:34 canadiancow: will do Feb 14 05:47:38 :D Feb 14 05:47:49 i'm going to end up with a closet full of stuff i'll never use, won't i Feb 14 05:48:27 nope, sure I've had to get stuff I won't use because of the process of racking up the moneymakers but I buy all that I need with the extra cash then donate the stuff I dont want Feb 14 05:48:57 for example, this week I "bought" choloraseptic spray for $1 each while making $3 on each transaction i.e. +$2 Feb 14 05:49:21 so I bought 20 of them, turned my $20 investment into $60 and donated the sprays to salvation army Feb 14 05:50:49 i know i'm dense many times, but since i updated to the newest sdk - 'android devices' does not show a running emu; wtf could be wrong? Feb 14 05:51:43 err, 'adb devices' Feb 14 05:53:39 canadiancow: can you do me a favor and tell me what your sdk manager shows for "Android SDK Platform-tools" ? Feb 14 05:54:01 what version, that is Feb 14 05:54:37 16.0.1 Feb 14 05:54:39 g00s: mine says 16.0.1 I know you didn't ask me Feb 14 05:54:50 canadiancow: QubeZ thanks Feb 14 05:55:08 im about to install the updated Androkd SDK tool 21.0.1 Feb 14 05:55:09 i thought that version followed the sdk version; so i /thought/ it should be 21.1 Feb 14 05:55:17 lets see if mine is broken too Feb 14 05:55:24 err 21.1 Feb 14 05:56:22 g00s: still works for me Feb 14 05:56:25 after upgrade Feb 14 05:56:38 but I'm on a Mac, things always work Feb 14 05:57:03 im on windows and linux and it works Feb 14 05:57:19 QubeZ: so your sdk-tools is 21.0, and your sdk platform-tools is 16.0.1 Feb 14 05:57:28 g00s: affirmative Feb 14 05:57:38 ok, thanks Feb 14 05:58:02 wait Feb 14 05:58:04 21.1 Feb 14 05:58:09 not 21.0 Feb 14 05:58:19 oh right, im not paying attention Feb 14 05:58:21 let me double check Feb 14 05:58:30 oops yeah, 21.1 Feb 14 05:58:54 g00s: SDK Tool = 21.1; SDK Platform-tool = 16.0.1 Feb 14 05:59:03 yeah, cool thanks Feb 14 05:59:16 but i cant get adb to see the emu :/ Feb 14 05:59:42 i really wish people couldn't leave 1 star reviews without a reason Feb 14 05:59:48 i have an app with 7 5-star and 3 1-star Feb 14 05:59:58 like... tell me what doesn't work, and i'll fix it Feb 14 05:59:59 :( Feb 14 06:00:04 tell me about it Feb 14 06:00:05 yeah :( Feb 14 06:00:25 I have several 1-star ratings for things that aren't even the apps fault like they were not connected to the internet (my app tells them this) Feb 14 06:00:37 mine dont even have reviews Feb 14 06:00:37 then when it does work, they never come back to update Feb 14 06:00:39 its just the star rating Feb 14 06:00:46 but my latest review, im very happy about Feb 14 06:00:52 whoever that was, raved about it Feb 14 06:00:57 heh Feb 14 06:01:10 g00s: I'm 2/5 of the way through your suggestions btw =) Feb 14 06:01:35 QubeZ: :) Feb 14 06:01:41 i/m 2/5 of the way to going insane Feb 14 06:02:00 reboot Feb 14 06:02:03 computer and phone Feb 14 06:02:14 its emu issue for him Feb 14 06:02:20 adb sees my phone ok, just not the emu Feb 14 06:02:20 computer and emu :P Feb 14 06:02:24 adb wont see the emu (assuming he can see the phone) Feb 14 06:06:40 although after the upgrade, there is a lot of red markers in my source tree Feb 14 06:06:41 wtf Feb 14 06:08:22 \o/ reboot worked :/ Feb 14 06:10:55 night guys I'm out Feb 14 06:11:08 me too, going to reboot Feb 14 06:11:10 peace Feb 14 06:11:18 pea ... Feb 14 06:12:46 interesting "jQuery Core has more lines of fixes and patches for WebKit than any other browser." Feb 14 06:19:59 I'm new to android development. I've downloaded the latest tools (eclipse, jdk, adt, etc) and gotten everything working on my Windows 7 laptop. I want to buy a cheap android device to test on. Is there a list somewhere of phones that work with the dev tools? I can't seem to find the right google query to find what i'm lloking for. Thanks :) Feb 14 06:21:52 williehurl9, I'd guess that all the nexus devices will. Feb 14 06:21:55 williehurl9: just about every device will work. Feb 14 06:22:08 williehurl9: also, not sure what 'cheap' means ;) Feb 14 06:22:18 chinese? Feb 14 06:22:54 williehurl9, and my kindle HD 7" seem to do OK but does not have all the extras. Feb 14 06:23:07 novie: I bought a $50 Virgin Chaser from Radio Shack, but could not get it working. I then read online that dozens of other developers were having the same problem. So, I took it back. Feb 14 06:23:32 I'm looking for something around $100 USD Feb 14 06:23:53 williehurl9, Can't you chase your own virgins for free? Feb 14 06:24:28 jda2000: yeah, that's quite a name they're using, eh? ;) Feb 14 06:24:29 O.O Feb 14 06:24:29 williehurl9: maybe something off ebay used? Feb 14 06:25:08 williehurl9: somehow i would try to muster 200 for a N7 Feb 14 06:25:39 i was reading a nice post that the N10 is pretty ideal since you can play tricks with its size/density Feb 14 06:25:44 but thats 400 Feb 14 06:27:11 g00s: yeah $200 is a little beyond my budget right now. And, the only reason I need to get a device is because the emulator is just really really slow on my laptop. If I could get that running nice and fast, I could skip an actual device for now. Feb 14 06:28:13 if at any random time you cant spend $200 on a whim, you might be living above your means :) Feb 14 06:29:20 deebo: I'm not living above my means. I'm living above my friend's garage. :) Feb 14 06:29:42 :) Feb 14 06:29:48 get a job! and a haircut! Feb 14 06:30:18 i understand williehurl9 ;) Feb 14 06:31:50 Trinity: http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3szc6b/ Feb 14 06:35:46 It looks like for $100 I can get either a Boost Samsung Galaxy Rush or a Virgin Mobile Kyocera Rise, both running Android 4.0. Does anyone know if these work for sure with eclipse? Feb 14 06:35:50 Is hdmi bi-directional? Feb 14 06:36:08 jda2000: HDMI is two-way communication, yes Feb 14 06:36:31 if you're asking whether you can stream content both ways, then no, I'm fairly certain you cannot Feb 14 06:36:57 JakeWharton, Yes, that was what I was wondering. Feb 14 06:37:48 JakeWharton, I have a hdmi cable for my Kindle and an hdmi port on my laptop...... Feb 14 06:38:19 JakeWharton, Don't want to see any blue smoke though, so I didn't try it. Feb 14 07:19:31 hello Feb 14 07:19:41 i'm writing an android application Feb 14 07:19:46 and i'm using AccountManager system Feb 14 07:20:28 I'm getting help from SampleSync sample Feb 14 07:20:34 but i'm stuck at somewhere Feb 14 07:20:40 here is the question Feb 14 07:20:58 i want to check if there is an account already in system if exists use its credentials Feb 14 07:21:35 first i used that: AccountManager.get(mContext).getAccountsByType(Constants.APP_NAME) Feb 14 07:21:47 and set the variables Feb 14 07:21:54 but not sure if this is the right way Feb 14 07:22:22 how come accountManager = AccountManager.get(this); and mUsername = intent.getStringExtra(PARAM_USERNAME); Feb 14 07:22:30 doesn't retreive the user Feb 14 07:22:41 any ideas? Feb 14 07:28:59 btw, i'm using my own account mechanism Feb 14 07:40:23 Hi I need the width and height for text with stroke on it. Nothing seems to take stroke into account. Any ideas? Feb 14 07:41:28 I tried measureText, staticlayout, nope Feb 14 07:42:25 You would think since Paint holds text bounds apis, it would account for stroke or have a switch for it but no Feb 14 08:16:25 Hi guys.

Feb 14 09:36:25 02-14 11:34:42.075: E/dalvikvm(14139): Out of memory: Heap Size=5831KB, Allocated=4337KB, Bitmap Size=18667KB Feb 14 09:36:25 02-14 11:34:42.075: E/GraphicsJNI(14139): VM won't let us allocate 147456 bytes Feb 14 09:36:29 can You please help me? Feb 14 09:36:41 I tried MAT, nothing suspicious was found Feb 14 09:37:03 the most strange part is that there is no further explanation, just this exception Feb 14 09:37:20 it happens, when I try to inflate XML Feb 14 09:40:11 hello Feb 14 09:40:38 does anyone play with the hidden android nfc_extras lib Feb 14 09:40:39 ? Feb 14 09:41:35 vlad__: are you having defined very large images (e.g. as background) in your xml? Feb 14 09:42:32 Hi Feb 14 09:43:54 I would not say they are large, I have no image that would be THAT big? I also test this on HTC Desire, which is 2.2, does VM collect Bitmaps, which are declared in XML? Feb 14 09:44:11 I have Problem with the location manager and distanceTo. Wrong method String. How to fix it? http://pastebin.com/w7e1Ha9u Feb 14 09:44:48 Besides, I have a tabhost with fragments, and this message happens when I navigate to my Fragment with List for the second time Feb 14 09:45:09 oh that sounds like a memory leak imo :) Feb 14 09:45:44 like you are allocating resources every time you switch there, but not letting them release Feb 14 09:46:22 yeah, but why doesn't MAT see anything? Feb 14 09:46:31 it's like 1.2 MB free Feb 14 09:46:35 before I navigate Feb 14 09:47:20 it also crashes right before I try to inflate XML, which contains ImageView with image that's like 2KB in size Feb 14 09:47:30 02-14 11:34:42.075: E/GraphicsJNI(14139): VM won't let us allocate 147456 bytes that sounds btw pretty much like it is some graphic you are trying to load Feb 14 09:48:13 does anyone play with the hidden android nfc_extras lib ? Feb 14 09:48:18 should I keep something like a List with references to my Images? Feb 14 09:48:20 have you watched the google IO talk on memory analysing of apps? Feb 14 09:48:43 you mean this one Feb 14 09:48:43 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CruQY55HOk Feb 14 09:48:44 ? Feb 14 09:49:15 Having a list of references does not seem like an agile design ))) Feb 14 09:49:21 yeah i guess it was that one Feb 14 09:49:27 I started watching Feb 14 09:49:31 maybe it will help Feb 14 09:49:37 he shows also some example on how to detect some memory leak Feb 14 09:49:55 I just thought maybe someone ran into the same problem, because googling does not help ( Feb 14 09:50:06 okay, I better watch it, I guess Feb 14 09:52:21 thanks Feb 14 10:00:02 no one? or s Feb 14 10:00:18 or is the questing stupid Feb 14 10:02:30 Hi I need the width and height for text with stroke on it.

(or a C++ one?) Feb 14 10:06:59 I'm still fiddling with the sensors Feb 14 10:07:18 and came to the conclusion that getting good graphs shows far more then lines and lines of data Feb 14 10:07:31 ryanm: Double.parseDouble(mReportA) should help? Feb 14 10:08:13 double doesn't have a distanceTo method either - it's not even an object Feb 14 10:08:36 Hey...is there a way to change the color of the default tabs in android? Feb 14 10:09:29 I had an activity I registered broadcast receivers inside.
