**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 21 02:59:58 2013 Mar 21 03:00:21 if the docs are right and the option is missing, or if the option is not available and the docs are wrong Mar 21 03:00:34 but again, not critical Mar 21 03:09:42 g00s ... I can file a bug report somewhere if that'll help / is the simplest answer Mar 21 03:12:24 capella: you could :) Mar 21 03:12:29 * g00s stares at his from 2010 Mar 21 03:13:09 capella: assign it to the swedish chef , or Animal Mar 21 03:13:23 mmm? same bug from 2010? Mar 21 03:13:34 no, different one Mar 21 03:14:29 ah ... well some issues are more important than others ... no real need to push this then Mar 21 03:15:13 if i had the tool repo i'd look at the code Mar 21 03:16:52 needent bother ... i stumbled into this minor thing and Im starting to feel like the tail wagging the dog so my work arounds will suffice Mar 21 03:27:56 If there's anyone here who helps to maintain developer.android.com documentation, there's a typo in Fig. 1 on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html Mar 21 03:29:19 missles…. nice Mar 21 03:29:49 fire all the missles, yeah dont sound right Mar 21 03:30:15 they set us up the bomb! Mar 21 03:30:50 missles inbound, release cuntermeters Mar 21 03:36:33 if i have a javascript/html5 game can it be used in an android browser? Mar 21 03:37:31 try it ??? Mar 21 03:38:30 no android. Mar 21 03:38:32 no game. Mar 21 03:38:33 lol! Mar 21 03:40:59 I have a linear layout (horiz) with 3 image views in it. I want to put a textview on top of the first image view. How ? Is it possible ? Mar 21 03:41:17 hello, all, I have a question. My activity flow is that A->B->C. However, when launching activity C, I would like to kill A and B as to make the C to be only activity on the stack. I have tried clear top and clear task flag but it doesn't work Mar 21 03:42:21 mobydev: wrap your first image view into frame layout or relative layout with a textview Mar 21 03:44:36 i will try that Mar 21 03:44:51 as for your question, multiple answers. Try your luck Mar 21 03:44:55 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12266572/android-kill-all-activities-on-logout Mar 21 03:45:30 call finish for A And B activity ? Mar 21 03:45:57 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6211444/finishing-all-activities-started-before-the-activity Mar 21 03:47:13 How can I regain focus on my parent custom view after calling requestfocus on one of my children? Mar 21 03:47:43 by doing the same on "it" ? Mar 21 03:48:23 what about firfox mobile? Mar 21 03:48:41 StingRay_, right but the problem is that i only know to regain focus on the parent when the event im interested in happens, which wont happen unless i have focus….if that makes any sense Mar 21 03:49:43 that makes little sense to me atm Mar 21 03:50:19 cause your wainting for an event to trigger requiring a view to have focus that it cant have until the eve……… and reapeat Mar 21 03:50:36 ol Mar 21 03:50:37 lol Mar 21 03:50:42 yeah i need to rethink this Mar 21 03:50:50 things just get tricky when im working with dpad only navigation Mar 21 03:50:55 working on some google tv stuff Mar 21 03:51:08 whats google tv ? Mar 21 03:51:12 :) Mar 21 03:51:24 do they have a website ? Mar 21 03:51:32 :) Mar 21 03:51:38 lol Mar 21 03:51:44 is that a big thing in the states ? Mar 21 03:51:55 not really, it kind of bombed completely Mar 21 03:51:56 cause there is 0% here in UK Mar 21 03:52:11 im actually working on a project for a new tv platform running android Mar 21 03:52:14 not google specifically Mar 21 03:52:31 but ive signed an NDA so cant discuss the deets :( Mar 21 03:52:55 hopefully not another logitech thingy Mar 21 03:52:57 ugh Mar 21 03:53:26 I actually hope ouya dies just as quick Mar 21 03:53:33 hehe me too Mar 21 03:53:37 when people realise it aint a games console Mar 21 03:53:39 not logitech Mar 21 03:53:45 it;s a phone in a box Mar 21 06:03:29 bleh Mar 21 06:48:54 does anyone know how to solve this error: "The method getChildFragmentManager() is undefined for the type FragmentTabsFragment"? Mar 21 06:49:41 I'm trying to run the sample \extras\android\support\samples\Support13Demos Mar 21 07:08:10 I have a question that I cannot find an answer too. In my project I set attributes for my buttons shape and color in the drawables folder. When would or should I use style.xml instead? Mar 21 07:08:21 in the values folder Mar 21 07:16:58 I'm having serious trouble using maven and AA together .. Without IDE dependency i mean then. Mar 21 07:20:36 Does anyone know why it's not releasing (on some devices?) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15541608/takepicture-failed-in-some-cases Mar 21 07:44:12 I entered the wrong pattern too many times. It is now not accepting my login details. Am not connected to wifi, nor do I have a sim in it. Any tips? Mar 21 07:46:17 can m3u8 containers be read on android devices? Mar 21 07:49:36 trying that avconv -i http://127.0.0.1:8000:/event1.ogv -c:v libvpx -c:a libvorbis -b:v 92k -flags -global_header -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -hls_time 10 -hls_wrap 64000 -hls_list_size 999 wsot11.m3u8 Mar 21 07:49:39 makes sense? Mar 21 07:55:01 can i include webm files in a m3u8 ? Mar 21 08:00:00 Please, check this out and help .. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15521639/maven-androidannotations-generated-but-n… Mar 21 08:01:47 how is it that a phone can resolve a phone number to a name that doesn't exist in the phone book? eg. service providers, company names, google etc. ? Mar 21 08:06:59 bankai_: some names are in public databases which are added to phone, it seems (mostly area codes) Mar 21 08:07:10 possibly caller id got some extra stuff, but that I don't know about Mar 21 08:07:27 it's not something just 'anyone' can do though, right ? Mar 21 08:10:33 depends which Mar 21 08:10:46 the area code database probably can be messed with in the ROM Mar 21 08:10:59 if it's something related to area code, then that's telco's side Mar 21 08:11:15 ahh ok thanks :) Mar 21 08:19:38 Does anyone know why it's not releasing (on some devices?) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15541608/takepicture-failed-in-some-cases Mar 21 08:28:25 misterli: you should in general release camera and such in onPause Mar 21 08:28:40 it's the last callback guaranteed to be called before your activity gets destroyed Mar 21 08:28:45 onDestroy might never be called Mar 21 08:29:23 also see this training; http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/index.html Mar 21 08:29:40 timroes. Services dont have onPause. That's the Problem Mar 21 08:29:50 ah it was a service, sorry Mar 21 08:29:55 It works just fine in an Activity Mar 21 08:31:00 yeah because i don;t think its meant to use camera from a service Mar 21 08:32:05 When should I use style.xml in values and when should I create xmls in the drawables folder? Mar 21 08:32:43 timroes. Any idea? :) Mar 21 08:32:50 yeah, don't do it :D Mar 21 08:33:03 I cant use an Activity. There are several reason for that Mar 21 08:33:21 For example: finish() the CameraActivity popup the LauncherActivity (which shouldnt!) Mar 21 08:33:29 because it call onResume in the ParentActivity Mar 21 08:33:51 i jmean: don't use camera in background Mar 21 08:34:19 It's an AntiTheftapp. It's a bad idea to ask the Thief if he can press the RElease-Button :) Mar 21 08:36:04 have you ever tried running this, while the phone is beeing locked? Mar 21 08:36:40 Sure. This is one of the Reason why i'm using the Service. It's working fine Mar 21 08:36:50 or not as it seem :D Mar 21 08:37:07 I capture the ModulCamera Service as soon as a wrong keylock attempt (with DeviceAdmin) Mar 21 08:37:44 Camera works pretty. I've 4,80~ rating in Playstore with about 1000 Ratings. Just a few people have problems with the Camera. And Exception shows it's not released successfulls Mar 21 08:38:24 i am trying to find in the docs if onDestroy is guaranteed to be called Mar 21 08:38:40 since its not for activities, I wonder if its guaranteed for services. If it isn't that might be a problem Mar 21 08:39:59 I'm 99% sure that it's a problem with SurfaceDestroyed. If SurfaceDestroyed is called then im stopping the Service with stopself(). But SurfaceDestroyed is not called evrytime? oO Mar 21 08:40:42 surfaceDestroyed call stopService. SurfaceDestoryed should be called as soon as the async takePicture is ready, shouldnt it? Mar 21 09:15:38 sweet, the SGS4 for only $113 http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/03/20/lolwut-u-s-retailer-mobilefun-lists-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-game-pad-for-113/ Mar 21 09:16:00 no wonder why samsung is doing so well Mar 21 09:21:47 g00s, isn't that only a game pad? Mar 21 09:24:37 oh its legit, just the wrong price Mar 21 09:24:55 Is there some reliable way to detect status bar presence from a service? I tried OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener but it isn't always triggered. Currently, I'm using a thread and two system overlays (one normal, one with flag layout_in_screen) and I just check the difference of the overlays' heights periodically. Mar 21 09:27:29 that sounds like an awful kludge Mar 21 09:28:01 it is Mar 21 09:31:49 any idea why "getResources().getIdentifier("R.id.button1", null, getPackageName());" returns 0 but "findViewById(R.id.button1)" works? Mar 21 09:38:45 Quacked, getIdentifier("button1", "id", getPackageName()); Mar 21 09:42:26 how important is knowing/having iOS dev skills wrt the development of apps in general? Mar 21 09:42:46 I mean, do companies rather ask for both, or does "just Android" also compete? Mar 21 09:43:04 I guess it depends on the company size Mar 21 09:43:33 belgianguy: small companies typically can't afford multiple programmer instances. They need a singleton :-) Mar 21 09:43:59 well maybe they'll want an getInstance() from me then ;) Mar 21 09:44:16 fpillet: have you mastered both? Mar 21 09:44:20 yup Mar 21 09:44:39 I come from the other side though Mar 21 09:44:45 fpillet: what would you estimate the added cost would be? Mar 21 09:44:56 (I have an Ubuntu pc, no apple hw whatsoever) Mar 21 09:45:11 added cost in what? hardware? Mar 21 09:45:26 fpillet: hardware, license, software tools Mar 21 09:45:35 I work on Mac exclusively. Use VMs when I need other OSes but for iOS and Android development, a Mac is perfect Mar 21 09:45:58 alex_PP: oh Mar 21 09:46:38 You can start with free tools. Use Xcode for iOS dev, IntelliJ for Android (or Eclipse, or whatever you want that can drive the toolchain) Mar 21 09:47:19 fpillet: yeah, I'm quite proficient in Android, it's just that I wondered how much of a liability it was to not have iOS skills Mar 21 09:47:20 I use AppCode for iOS and OS X dev, and IntelliJ IDEA for Android dev. I paid licenses for both, although there is a Community Edition for IntelliJ that's free and perfect for Android dev Mar 21 09:47:29 alex_PP: I really had null set to "id", but I included R.id. So thanks, even though I found a better method for my issue :) Mar 21 09:47:54 fpillet: yeah, I use the CE of IntelliJ, a terrific program Mar 21 09:48:06 belgianguy: it depends on the company, really. In big structures you'll get away by being a single-platform guy Mar 21 09:48:21 But it's always good to develop a multiple platform skillset, if only from a cultural standpoint Mar 21 09:48:31 fpillet: yeah, I was pondering of starting my own business down the line Mar 21 09:48:44 so then it would be a must have Mar 21 09:49:00 Prior to what I'm doing, I had been a freelance dev for years, working exclusively on OS X then on iOS Mar 21 09:49:25 And I was doing quite well like this. I know freelancer who do only Android and have plenty work too Mar 21 09:49:34 s/freelancer/freelancers/ Mar 21 09:50:01 Should I do this differently? http://pastebin.com/pssGskMU Mar 21 09:50:39 Has anyone noticed the clock on the android emulator running very slowly? It seems to be gettting further out of sync with the actual time the longer the emulator is running. Mar 21 09:50:46 fpillet: ah, yeah, it's just that I had some possible leads, and they immedeatly mentioned both iOS and Android, and then it's hard to compete for one of those products if there are devs out there who have mastered both Mar 21 09:51:07 Devs who _master_ both platforms are not that many Mar 21 09:51:36 It was in the background for a good chunk of the time, which might be related. Mar 21 09:51:45 You'll have some competition, but certainly less than if you master a single platform Mar 21 09:54:04 fpillet: ah, good to know, maybe I'll find me an raggedy "just-good-enough" OS X box to get me started, and hopefully I can recoup the license fees of the tools Mar 21 09:54:23 Tools are fre Mar 21 09:54:25 free Mar 21 09:54:57 OSX certainly isn't free... Mar 21 09:55:01 unless you want to use AppCode, which is the best option IMHO for coding but doesn't have a UI editor built-in for iOS Mar 21 09:55:12 Leeds: if you buy a Mac, it comes bundled :-) Mar 21 09:55:24 oh, and Macs are free now? Mar 21 09:55:46 I'm only talking about license costs, not hardware costs. You're splitting hairs Mar 21 09:55:50 belgianguy: you can try a 'hackintosh' Mar 21 09:56:10 Does anyone know why it's not releasing (on some devices?) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15541608/takepicture-failed-in-some-cases Mar 21 09:56:39 evertvdbruel: yeah, I've seen someone try that, and after weeks of fiddling even Newton wouldn't load Mar 21 09:57:06 you need some luck with your hardware Mar 21 09:57:20 but you can build a machine for a few 100euros Mar 21 09:57:54 I'm filling a dialog with text that comes from JSON and an image whose url is also retrieved from the JSON data, is there any way to pass both the String with the text and the downloaded bitmap from doInBackground to onPostExecute or do I need to make a new asynctask for the bitmap passing and update the imageview (actually icon) of the dialog from there (right now I'm creating the dialog in the code and not through xml, guess I will have to do it w Mar 21 09:57:54 ith xml in that case to update it from a second asynctask) Mar 21 09:58:31 azeam: put them in an object? Mar 21 09:58:39 that has a Bitmap and a String as members? Mar 21 09:58:46 belgianguy: Mid 2011 or Late 2012 Mac Mini with 16GB of RAM and SSD should do the trick ;) Mar 21 09:59:14 belgianguy: sounds logical :) Will have to look up how to do that, thanks Mar 21 09:59:20 fpillet: I've never seen a job ad for OS X devs. Maintainence and Administration yes, not dev. Mar 21 09:59:46 kakazza: thanks! that's an interesting combination Mar 21 09:59:51 kakazza: OS X dev jobs are very specialized, typically in companies producing commercial software Mar 21 09:59:57 'hackintosh' implies either paying full retail for OSX or using an unlicensed OS Mar 21 09:59:59 I see, fpillet. Mar 21 10:00:11 Whereas nowadays, every Joe wants his Android / iOS app Mar 21 10:00:26 heh Mar 21 10:00:26 So you logically see many more ads for mobile jobs Mar 21 10:00:44 Yeah, I'm freelancing for Android too, beginning with iOS now. Mar 21 10:01:11 I do like how easy Xcode makes it to develop simple Apps, but I'm a bit disappointed with the text editor when it comes to shortcuts. Mar 21 10:01:11 newbie here. Just downloaded ADT-eclipse bundle. Create test android project. Click 'Run'. Encountered pop-up dialog: 'Errors occured during the build' Errors running builder 'ANdroid package bulider on project 'Support4demos.' sun/security/x509/x500Name Mar 21 10:01:35 need help.. i want to build a 'hello world' android and copy it to my phone to see if it runs.. Mar 21 10:01:37 kakazza: I'm a loooong time OS X dev then iOS dev, and I totally switched to AppCode for coding Mar 21 10:01:43 I'm used to more options from vim and Eclipse. The sheer lack of 'Delete Line' and 'Duplicate' line struck me hard :\ Mar 21 10:01:54 And for the Storyboards? Mar 21 10:02:13 Ha I'm in a particular situation where we don't use xibs / storyboards at all Mar 21 10:02:24 library projects? Mar 21 10:02:25 So I don't miss anything from Xcode. But that's just me, most people still need it Mar 21 10:02:38 kakazza: I keep wanting to press ctrl-d in every text field anywhere Mar 21 10:02:57 'sun/security/x509/X500Name Mar 21 10:03:04 what is this error? Mar 21 10:03:11 Nah I work on a product that has it's own loadable UI, own UI file format etc. Nothing like your average app, so I'm really in a different situation than most devs Mar 21 10:03:34 True. But if you needed Storyboards? Mar 21 10:03:38 I don't. Mar 21 10:03:43 "if" Mar 21 10:03:47 But if you need then, use Xcode. Mar 21 10:04:06 There really is no way around it. Most people I know who are AppCode converts still have to use Xcode for XIB / Storyboard Mar 21 10:04:18 But that's fine, really. I still use Xcode too to produce release builds Mar 21 10:04:18 pythonicon: you get a few hits if you google that sun/security/x509/X500Name Mar 21 10:04:41 pythonicon: using SSL or something that needs a certificate? Mar 21 10:05:00 i elready downloaded oracle jdk Mar 21 10:05:09 Anyway this is an Android channel, so let's not pollute by talking iOS stuff here. You can check out #iphonedev for that Mar 21 10:05:33 fpillet: true, sorry for OT, thanks for all the info, back to Android Mar 21 10:09:51 belgianguy: i read a few recently that devs knowing more than one platform make quite a bit more Mar 21 10:10:19 trying to remember where i saw that though. anyhow, you don't do yourself any favors knowing a single platform Mar 21 10:10:48 g00s: ah, yeah it's why I left C# in the first place as I felt trapped (looong ago) :) Mar 21 10:11:36 but as I'm now totally geared towards mobile, broadening the scope is an option to consider Mar 21 10:11:52 also, depending on how you add the numbers, iOS can be cheaper to develop for Mar 21 10:12:00 belgianguy: Actually you may be able to come back to it. Check out Xamarin, it looks interesting. Mar 21 10:12:12 depends on the number of test devices you have. the more serious you are, the more devices you'll have :) much more for android Mar 21 10:12:40 fpillet: yeah I know about Xamarin and MonoDroid etc, but it's really long ago (thesis was in C# on an actual tabletop Surface) Mar 21 10:13:05 g00s: good point Mar 21 10:13:09 Looks like they made quite some progress lately (or so it seems) Mar 21 10:13:14 I don't have an iOS test device :/ Mar 21 10:13:28 simulator is fine Mar 21 10:13:35 I agree with the test device stuff. But you can perfectly do most of your dev with the Simulator for iOS. On Android, I just can't use the emulator at all Mar 21 10:13:40 belgianguy: a lot of data in here http://www.visionmobile.com/product/developer-economics-2013-the-tools-report/ Mar 21 10:13:48 fpillet: Why can't you use it? Mar 21 10:14:12 I would spend my DAY waiting for it, it's awful (and I'm developing on a 5 yo machine that's 64 bit BUT apparently the Intel acceleration thing just doesn't work on it for the emulator) Mar 21 10:14:18 kakazza: because it's way too slow Mar 21 10:14:31 It's not when you do it right. Mar 21 10:14:47 As mentioned above, the intel accelerator doesn't work on my machine Mar 21 10:14:52 It's faster or as fast as my hardware device. Mar 21 10:15:03 What machine is that? And did you install the Kernel Extensions? Mar 21 10:15:11 read what I wrote. Mar 21 10:15:32 I see nothing mentioning Kernel Extensions. Mar 21 10:15:42 No I said "intel accelerator" Mar 21 10:15:47 it's the same thing IMHO Mar 21 10:15:48 I just ask because 90% of the people here just try the x86 image without installing the extensions. Mar 21 10:15:57 at least on OS X Mar 21 10:16:00 fpillet: the x86 images are pretty decent; but as of now you can't use google apis or play services on them; so that limits their utility Mar 21 10:16:04 I _am_ on OS X. Mar 21 10:16:13 Well the kext works for you then Mar 21 10:16:17 It didn't for me Mar 21 10:16:28 But I run on a 2008 MacPro :-) Mar 21 10:16:31 I use HAXM 1.04 because the 1.01 you get through the SDK manager crashes OSX. Mar 21 10:16:34 fpillet: what processor? i have an old Cure 2 Duo in my machine Mar 21 10:16:47 kakazza: where did you get that ? Mar 21 10:17:14 g00s: 2008 MacPro with 2xquad-core Xeon Mar 21 10:17:15 I'm running a Mac Mini Late 2012. 4.2.2 x68 Emulator with GPU Host emulator. Emulator is flying. Mar 21 10:17:21 http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager Mar 21 10:17:27 ok, thanks Mar 21 10:17:32 known issues, reported on the Android Issue tracker, too. Mar 21 10:17:47 yeah - the first time i tried haxm (1.0) it brought down the whole machine; i thought my FS was corrupted too Mar 21 10:17:50 It's has 64 bit EFI, but it seems the processor doesn't have Intel VT support Mar 21 10:18:01 fpillet: YOu must make enough money to buy a new one, no? ;) Mar 21 10:18:27 kakazza: I get away with working on devices exclusively Mar 21 10:18:36 I recently replaces the Mid 2011 Mac Mini with the Late 2012 with only little extra money. (I do like the high resell value of Mac Hardware, I admit) Mar 21 10:18:53 And MacPros are VERY expensive nowadays. Mine still kicks ass (bumped it with SSD & 16GB ram) Mar 21 10:19:11 Are you talking about the Retinas? Mar 21 10:19:22 Do you know what a MacPro is? Mar 21 10:19:28 Not MacBookPro Mar 21 10:19:28 Ah, MacPro Mar 21 10:19:33 The lost child Mar 21 10:19:37 The beast Mar 21 10:19:44 The very slow, outdated beast. Mar 21 10:19:48 A very tame beast. Mar 21 10:20:03 That's what you think. Mine is not very slow (in day to day usage, I don't look at useless benchmarks) Mar 21 10:20:04 Ok, 'very slow' was harsh. Mar 21 10:20:05 i'd buy a Mini Pro :) Mar 21 10:20:37 fpillet: It's old and many people hope for an update. Did they receive one recently? Mar 21 10:20:39 Actually stuff it with a SSD and lots of RAM, and it flies. Maybe not as much as modern machines, but far enough for dev Mar 21 10:21:21 Only incremental updates, then they pulled it from market in Europe because they don't comply with green rules anymore, or something like that Mar 21 10:21:42 Supposedly going to release a new line this year but we'll see. Mine is going to give me good service for a couple more years. Mar 21 10:22:10 holy shit Mar 21 10:22:13 5 years of great service and counting, it's worth every single euro I put into it Mar 21 10:22:29 Google finally fixed the darned wrong url in refund requests, after only 18 months of nagging Mar 21 10:22:41 BTW there is a bug in the Emulator I can't live with Mar 21 10:22:50 Which? Mar 21 10:22:53 Webview Mar 21 10:23:07 Known and reported bug? Mar 21 10:23:07 Crashes hard, and i don't think it's ever been fixed Mar 21 10:23:15 Yeah known bug Mar 21 10:23:22 Certain WebViews or all of them? Mar 21 10:23:34 Only the Java <-> JS interface IIRC Mar 21 10:23:42 Ah, I see. Mar 21 10:23:46 Which is a fundamental part of the product I'm working on Mar 21 10:23:54 So, no hope for me on this front. Mar 21 10:24:42 I still compile my native code to all for proc targets, though. You never know, maybe one day x86 will be good to something :-) Mar 21 10:24:48 s/for/four/ Mar 21 10:26:22 JakeWharton: Hi! can I use the support-library v8 with ActionBarSherlock? Mar 21 10:27:19 guys, is there any good library that would provide a syncable persistent store? (to be used for "inbox", "friend list" etc. functionality)? Mar 21 10:27:59 Mavrik: dropbox? Mar 21 10:28:39 uh. Mar 21 10:29:03 Firebase, too Mar 21 10:29:10 didn't mean it that way - basically a lib that would ease accessing data stored on the device and being synced from server Mar 21 10:29:18 not a service for my users :P Mar 21 10:29:24 Well that's what dropbox does :-) Mar 21 10:29:38 Oh you need to have your own server? Mar 21 10:29:50 uh no Mar 21 10:29:58 I have a server which tracks inbox and friends list for my users Mar 21 10:30:06 and I want to cache that data locally in my app Mar 21 10:30:18 and I'm just wondering if there's a lib that would save me the pain of writing sync code :) Mar 21 10:30:40 Distributed key-value stores will do, I guess Mar 21 10:31:01 Like MongoDB Mar 21 10:31:55 or CouchDB Mar 21 10:32:25 dude. Mar 21 10:32:48 are you suggesting I run MongoDB on users Android devices? Mar 21 10:34:06 There are several distributed key-value stores out there. Pick the one that suits you, I'm not suggesting anything. Mar 21 10:35:49 Which of these should I use? Or is there maybe a better way? http://pastebin.com/Ug2sz38f Mar 21 10:37:52 Personally I'd go for the loop, because if you mess up, every button is messed up. In the lower version if you do a typo it's a searching game. Mar 21 10:40:54 when i open AndroidManifest.xml in Eclipse, it is saying AppName Manifest. I am wondering if this is related to the error I am having. Is this normal for eclipse to do? Mar 21 10:42:24 kakazza: I've read that the getResources().getIdentifier() could be a bit slow though Mar 21 10:43:00 its discouraged in javadocs Mar 21 10:43:06 You do that once, no? Mar 21 10:43:07 Hello everybody Mar 21 10:43:20 I'm using ActionBar and SearchView. I'm using android:logo instead of android:icon for the ActionBar, but when i open the SearchView it switches to the android:icon, any ideas as how to solve this? Mar 21 10:43:36 I have checked the Manifest. I have checked the source. I have googled this, but I am still getting this 03-21 04:39:30.748: E/AndroidRuntime(21020): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=ch.expectsafterlun.limo.Menu } Mar 21 10:43:43 any ideas? =( Mar 21 10:44:01 did anyone here ever experienced strange behaviour on listvie? e.g displayed listview as 1.2.3 to 9, when i scroll the listview. the position changed. like 1.9.3.5.2.... Mar 21 10:44:01 kakazza: for all the 20 buttons onCreate and onResume Mar 21 10:44:10 *listview Mar 21 10:46:20 Hello guys, I want to add my activity with a side menu based on a listview, or at least based on a list and not on menu. What's the best opensource library for such a task? I don't want to waste time in reinventing the wheel, while there are opensource solutions. Mar 21 10:48:15 So in short, I pass my custom adapter to a sidebar view, and when click on a button, show/hide the sidebar. Mar 21 10:48:36 when i open AndroidManifest.xml in Eclipse, it is saying AppName Manifest. I am wondering if this is related to the error I am having. Is this normal for eclipse to do? Mar 21 10:49:57 Hi guys Mar 21 10:51:59 Hi guys i am doing translate animation where i need to move my view( which is at the center of the screen ) upward so that it can fit to the container placed 9dp from top.I have figured it out that if i translate view from 0%p to 52%p it will exactly fit the in the container layout for XHDPI devices.which worked perfect on google galaxy nexus device ( 720 X 1280 ) but the same thing is not working on samsung s3.In S3 i need Mar 21 10:52:06 Well i'm trying to port AOSP Rom to I9070P there is an Device Tree and there are Kernel Sources for Samsung Stock Rom. How i can modify it to use it for AOSP? Mar 21 10:52:25 why is it so even both devices's resolution is same Mar 21 10:53:04 and how can i overcome with this problem Mar 21 11:01:26 lulz`: It's suppose to say the the folder name of your eclipse project... Mar 21 11:02:24 so it's probably not whats the problem, have you tried looking in the "problems" view? Mar 21 11:02:57 Number5: i think there's no need extra libs for thos stuff. Mar 21 11:09:51 weird, i can't get the emulator rot rotate Mar 21 11:11:37 ctrl+f12 ? Mar 21 11:11:44 nope, does nothing Mar 21 11:11:53 i do have it set as "hardware keyboard present" maybe that's it? Mar 21 11:12:22 it's not the problem, i guess. Mar 21 11:12:38 did you see keyboard in your emulator? Mar 21 11:12:45 yeah it works in the emulator Mar 21 11:12:55 MroiZo -> i found the problem. it was more involved than i thought. this keyword was referring to a different class than the Splash.java class, so i changed this to Splash.this Mar 21 11:13:05 so, what's the problem funkbox? Mar 21 11:13:10 xviv: it does not rotate Mar 21 11:13:25 what it does i do not know, but it does whatever it does in portrait Mar 21 11:13:33 lulz`: That's happend a couple of times for me too :) Mar 21 11:14:01 funkbox: try opening menu drawer before rotating, because it won't rotate at home screen Mar 21 11:14:02 I started always using namsspace when using "this" Mar 21 11:14:29 now i know. i won't make that mistake again. i have learned from it. Mar 21 11:14:44 xviv: nothing, using the nexus 7 emulator Mar 21 11:15:37 funkbox: did the F* key fully functional in your emulator? Mar 21 11:15:46 like F6 for disable internet Mar 21 11:16:14 nothing seems to be happening Mar 21 11:16:45 watch your 3G signal bar. does it change when you press F6 ? Mar 21 11:17:52 it does not Mar 21 11:18:12 well, try create new emulator then. Mar 21 11:18:21 with diffs spec Mar 21 11:18:24 and conf Mar 21 11:19:46 eh ill fsck with it later Mar 21 11:26:17 xviv: but thanks, i'll look into it Mar 21 11:51:05 I have a gridview that is filled with images and i've applied animations to the child views. the problem im having is when the app first loads the animation seems to slow down a bit and kind of stutter when there are lots of images/child items. animation is smooth when there is a smaller amount of child items to animate... any suggestions on improvements to make it more smooth under any condition? Mar 21 11:52:19 good evening :) I would like to draw a circle/elipse shape on the screen... it will change shape dynamically... any ideas how I can do this? Mar 21 11:55:25 Please help me on this guys weird issue : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15546791/translateanimation-with-p-not-working-in-in-samsung-s3 Mar 21 12:06:04 ise really important? i mean.. i've lots of uses-permission and it works well without the uses-feature? Mar 21 12:07:45 I guess that depends if you use the feature or now misterli Mar 21 12:07:54 evidence would suggest you do not Mar 21 12:09:10 okay. Well.. does it mean if i uses-feature android.hardware.bluetooth and set it to required is false that it will be listed for all devices which dont have bluetooth too? (even if have uses-permission for bluetooth)? Mar 21 12:11:19 misterli: there's now way an android phone without bluetooth, cmiiw. Mar 21 12:11:54 Can my app somehow change preferences of some other app? Mar 21 12:12:14 Yea, this was just an example. then android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" and Mar 21 12:12:14 for example Mar 21 12:13:14 xviv: assuming there is no phone without bluetooth is really the worst example you can do. you have no idea what stuff will be build, so always do it right and not ASSUME stuff Mar 21 12:13:27 that might be right now (and even that isn't necessary) but might be wrong in future Mar 21 12:15:13 timroes: i think you mispelled misterli name? :/ Mar 21 12:15:32 (13:11:19) xviv: misterli: there's now way an android phone without bluetooth, cmiiw. Mar 21 12:15:48 Yea. How about the other example? Mar 21 12:16:01 well.. okay i got it. Mar 21 12:18:22 yo timroes, i got strange behaviour from my listview. it changes it's own posisition whenever i scroll it up and/or down Mar 21 12:18:50 e.g my list displaying 1.2.3.4. but after scrolling it turns into 4.2.3.1 Mar 21 12:19:00 i have no idea what's wrong :| Mar 21 12:20:25 is there a way to disable logcat levels depending on whether the apk is signed or not? Mar 21 12:36:39 how to have one typeface for different styles? Mar 21 12:37:09 for example I'm showing a rich html text in textview via Html.fromHtml(String) Mar 21 12:37:29 now I can only set a regular type of the typeface from assets Mar 21 12:38:14 how can I create a complex typeface, that will contain regular bold italic styles in one? Mar 21 12:38:31 that should be possible Mar 21 12:41:33 Hey guys is translate animation in OS 4.1 buggy? Mar 21 12:42:28 I have a question on StackOverFlow where comments are translate animation in OS 4.1 is buggy . : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15546791/translateanimation-with-p-not-working-in-in-samsung-s3/15547445?noredirect=1#comment22030031_15547445 Mar 21 13:13:49 Hi Mar 21 13:14:04 Where can I find how to do viewpager with the "native" fragment api (so no support classes) Mar 21 13:14:07 or is there no way? Mar 21 13:14:28 I want to use the preferencefragment and so on but that is only in the real fragment api and not the compatability api Mar 21 13:16:04 I don't know how I can google for Viewpager "NOT V4 compatability" Mar 21 13:16:33 Because the viewpager appears not to be compatible with the android.apps.fragment Mar 21 13:27:08 hello guys! Mar 21 13:27:23 I'm trying to add some jar's I've downloaded from teh net to my project Mar 21 13:28:04 place them into the libs folder in your project Mar 21 13:28:07 what I've done is use "Import" in Eclipse Mar 21 13:28:14 09:28:10 < timroes> place them into the libs folder in your project Mar 21 13:28:19 and then build path - add jar Mar 21 13:28:29 meh eclipse, i am out :D Mar 21 13:28:37 however, the process crashes on a call to one of those jar's Mar 21 13:29:10 I can;t debug it, since when I put a breakpoint on that call Mar 21 13:29:19 09:28:20 < lov> 09:28:10 < timroes> place them into the libs folder in your project Mar 21 13:29:23 the debugger basically stops, gives me an error about missing code Mar 21 13:29:29 hey, isemenov Mar 21 13:29:31 stop. Mar 21 13:29:32 lov: done that Mar 21 13:29:42 to no avail Mar 21 13:29:46 ok, you shouldn't need to mess with build properties in that case. Mar 21 13:29:51 ok Mar 21 13:30:00 stop! In the name of lov... Mar 21 13:30:03 It's possible that your libraries aren't actually getting exported because you messed with the build properties Mar 21 13:30:09 k Mar 21 13:30:15
