**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 20 03:00:00 2013 Sep 20 03:05:32 Greetings folks! Couldn't anyone please help me? I have a layout well-formed and what I want to do is to make a table below the specific element (EditText) but at the top level of the screen. It would be better if I could reserve a position for it in the layout XML without ruining its makeup, but it would be OK if I somehow detect its most-superview Y position and put it below. Sep 20 03:09:26 The only way I see this is to wrap next positioned element in vertical LinearLayout into FrameLayout with second child in it as my table I want. Sep 20 03:09:32 Any ideas? Sep 20 03:16:08 posplaw: give me a visual Sep 20 03:17:38 desmin88: thanks, but already done as suggested above! Sep 20 03:18:27 I've put all rest content below into FrameLayout, while first element in it is duplicated vertical LinearLayout for proper makeup and with my ListView overlaid at the top of it Sep 20 03:19:04 as second element of FrameLayout * Sep 20 03:19:35 sounds like a lot of nesting lol Sep 20 03:21:43 and looks like as well, thanks god I was making up tons of web pages before, so it's OK for me to work with raw layout contents :) Sep 20 03:27:37 well Sep 20 03:27:38 i'm dumb Sep 20 03:27:39 lol Sep 20 03:33:02 Brian|CS: two drawables>? Sep 20 03:33:31 nope Sep 20 03:33:32 lol Sep 20 03:33:51 oh Sep 20 03:33:55 Just realized that to have multiple devices communicate with the same chromecast all you need to do is call startSession with no parameters Sep 20 03:33:55 D: Sep 20 03:34:12 seems so obvious now Sep 20 03:34:14 but it confused me at first Sep 20 03:34:15 lol Sep 20 03:36:14 kjeldahl today, i tried something different which worked pretty well. i did most of my dev with vim & gradle; and then before checking stuff in run AS Analyze which is very very helpful (with lint & stuff) Sep 20 03:36:53 checking stuff into git ;) Sep 20 03:38:07 Hm, I should probably start figuring out how the hell I'm going to "promote" my app once I'm done with it. Sep 20 03:40:06 Nilium, Internet Sep 20 03:40:23 i usually have that part figure out before I start the app, since I know who will use it to begin with :D Sep 20 03:40:26 Well I was thinking like signs under bridges and newspapers Sep 20 03:40:44 Nilium fireworks, airplane banners Sep 20 03:41:01 Well, I build apps to be used by me, so that's who I know will use it.. maybe if I tattoo myself with my app's icon. Sep 20 03:41:18 Nilium take out all the pages of the NYT to promote your app the day the iPad is announced Sep 20 03:41:23 like what Samsung did :) Sep 20 03:42:47 hmm, maybe lint should ignore stuff in build/ :/ Sep 20 03:49:52 Nilium what mac graphics app did you use again (if any?) Sep 20 03:50:21 pixelmator / sketch / acorn / etc Sep 20 03:50:40 Photoshop. I have Pixelmator but find it impossible to use seriously because it's not Photoshop. Sep 20 03:51:14 ahh Sep 20 03:51:33 I'm quite proud of my config previews. Sep 20 03:54:45 This is going to be one hell of a weekend. Sep 20 03:55:22 Working on a 36 hour hackathon and have access to : Tons of iPhones, iPods, iPads, Android Phones, androdi tablets, modded motorola razr maxx HDs with Arduinos embedded(x2), a couple chromecasts, and even a google glass. Sep 20 03:57:54 hm, multipath TCP sounds interesting Sep 20 04:01:11 cool, linux has MCTCP implementation too. wonder when we'll see it in android. ios wins that round Sep 20 04:04:22 apparently apps don't need modification Sep 20 04:04:25 Current score: Android - 8 billion Sep 20 04:04:32 iOS - negative eleven Sep 20 04:09:26 hm, lint is making a lot of mistakes … like suggesting weaker access on things that clearly won't work if you do Sep 20 04:09:38 like a constructor for a service Sep 20 04:12:45 balls of g00 Sep 20 04:16:18 out of 137 warning, 2 were legit :) Sep 20 04:18:35 nice one :P Sep 20 06:06:14 Has anyone been able to import and build Holoeverywhere successfuly? Sep 20 06:09:30 neuro_sys wow, i haven't heard of anyone using that these days Sep 20 06:12:49 Anyone here is familiar with Path class? I want the ListView with rounded-clipped corners at the bottom and solid stroke all around, but only thing I can achieve is: http://i.posplaw.ru/corners-clipped-android.png (no border, all corners are clipped), but what I want I have already made in iOS version: http://i.posplaw.ru/corners-clipped-ios.png Sep 20 06:18:21 g00s: what's the alternative? Sep 20 06:18:41 I'm all new into android dev, and I see that the theme is different across versions Sep 20 06:18:52 neuro_sys check out the iosched app Sep 20 06:19:06 :OOO Sep 20 06:19:51 well, um, do you mean I should rip the theme from it? Sep 20 06:20:13 neuro_sys oh, i meant look at what they do technique wise Sep 20 06:20:35 they don't try to theme everything Sep 20 06:20:46 just let GB shit be GB shit ;) Sep 20 06:21:22 :( I don't want GB people to think my app looks shit :( Sep 20 06:21:34 its GB Sep 20 06:21:35 :| Sep 20 06:21:44 you aren't going to turn it into holo Sep 20 06:22:00 :'( Sep 20 06:22:03 lol okay Sep 20 06:23:11 but my friend shows me other apps on his GB android, and says look theirs look dope, why does yours suck Sep 20 06:24:24 I say, lol dunno dude, and root it faggot Sep 20 06:38:59 g00s: Sounds like a great idea, get rid of unecessary imports etc. But those things really should be available from the cmdline as well (I have no idea whether that is true or not) if you ask me... Sep 20 06:39:38 lint does run from the command line, but AS Analyze seems to be a superset of lint Sep 20 06:39:49 but lint is so very very wrong much of the time :( Sep 20 06:56:26 aw crap, one of my most interesting users has a galaxy s2, fffuuuuu Sep 20 06:58:42 does anyone know when i added a module to module structute (android studio) and the modulestructure screem is borked how i can go back to the default IDE settings? Sep 20 07:00:20 misterli hm, change the gradle file instead Sep 20 07:00:28 i only messed with modules in plain idea Sep 20 07:00:34 gradle is the source of truth Sep 20 07:00:57 yeah but android studio must store its own settings somewhere for the project. i couldnt find where Sep 20 07:01:05 Hi, How does some news apps like "Fast News" loads contents so fast?How does it fetch all of those contents from server so fast? Sep 20 07:03:07 misterli: AFAIK most AS specific settings are stored in the .iml files, but not sure how or where it actually stores the gradle config stuff. Based on how it works ("sync to gradle"), I would think it mirrored them in its own config, possibly the .iml file. Sep 20 07:03:56 okay thanks.. i start hating android studio .. Sep 20 07:05:39 yeeaaaaaah http://news.yahoo.com/photos/the-globe-paddling-rubber-duck-sculpture-arrives-in-taiwan-slideshow/ Sep 20 07:16:45 bt see some of the videos here http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/9/18/if-youre-programming-a-cell-phone-like-a-server-youre-doing.html Sep 20 07:17:10 also, make sure "Fast" is part of the title Sep 20 07:17:59 g00s: Thanks Sep 20 07:23:35 hmm.. adding appcompact with build.gradle does not work.. Sep 20 07:23:36 compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+' Sep 20 07:23:36 compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+" Sep 20 07:25:06 misterli it should Sep 20 07:25:23 misterli: why 13 of v4? Sep 20 07:25:39 i have this library in Projectfolder/lib. This shouldnt matter, right? Sep 20 07:25:54 yeah it does Sep 20 07:26:12 if you want to reference a jar library use: compile files('lib/whatever.jar') Sep 20 07:26:24 oh, okay Sep 20 07:26:36 but if you have the support repo from the sdk manager, that should work Sep 20 07:26:52 Yeah, installed the support repo. But it doesnt work yet. Sep 20 07:26:54 yeah and you should use the repo instead of copying jar files around Sep 20 07:27:06 But does this mean that i dont need those libraries copied manually if i have installed the support repo? Sep 20 07:27:12 yeah Sep 20 07:27:36 if you use com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+ it will try to find that artifact somewhere Sep 20 07:27:44 okay. Well, this should work when i dont use libs dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+', compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+' } doesnt it? Sep 20 07:27:46 meaning in your local support repo Sep 20 07:28:02 you have specified the repositories in your build file? Sep 20 07:28:07 no Sep 20 07:28:10 could you just paste your build.gradle please Sep 20 07:28:15 never worked with gradle before Sep 20 07:28:32 its kicking your butt so far Sep 20 07:28:36 http://pastebin.com/xMe0jZsF Sep 20 07:28:51 you have defined it :) Sep 20 07:28:57 repositories { mavenCentral() } Sep 20 07:29:00 where? Sep 20 07:29:01 ahh, i see Sep 20 07:29:08 if you miss it, it has no idea where to look up your stuff Sep 20 07:29:30 you said that v4:30.0 is old. What is the current version? Just seen this entry in stackoverflow Sep 20 07:29:31 what exactly is the error you are getting? Sep 20 07:29:40 18.0.+ Sep 20 07:29:45 haha, okay thanks Sep 20 07:29:51 but 13 is still in the support repo so it actually should work Sep 20 07:30:20 after adding those stuff in gradle.. is an android studio reboot required? Sep 20 07:30:47 most of the time not. but it might not rescan your build automatically (though it will do so most of the time) Sep 20 07:30:53 in that case you should hit the gradle button in the toolbar Sep 20 07:31:02 (the left most button in the group of android icons) Sep 20 07:31:16 misterli compileSdkVersion 17 Sep 20 07:31:17 buildToolsVersion "17.0.0" Sep 20 07:31:22 this is pretty old Sep 20 07:31:44 just had this because of sherlock. 17.00 was required in sherlock afaik Sep 20 07:31:59 but you are using appcompat Sep 20 07:32:16 yeah. I will give it a try today since sherlock kicked my balls the last 24 hours Sep 20 07:32:37 gradle refresh failed -_- Sep 20 07:33:32 misterli: change in the directory on command line, and enter `./gradlew assemble` Sep 20 07:33:37 and tell what error messages it gives you Sep 20 07:34:20 (or what output does the message window (Alt + 0) give you when reloading Sep 20 07:35:13 CMD tells me.. Build failed with an exception. What went wrong. Execution failed for task (myproject). No Resource found that match given name at style with value ... bla bla. Okay, it looks like that it does not like my styles which wwas defined in ActionBarSherlock Sep 20 07:36:17 so you still referencing actionbar sherlock? :) Sep 20 07:36:23 its annoying. spinnerDropDownItemStyle should be defined in the appcompat ... Sep 20 07:36:28 because in your build file no actionbar sherlock is defined Sep 20 07:36:43 no, i have removed it completly but kept the same layout files Sep 20 07:36:57 for example style="?attr:spinnerDropDownItemStyle" which should be defined within the appcompat styles Sep 20 07:37:12 misterli: indead it should Sep 20 07:37:14 But my manifest file android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" does not find the Theme AppCompat Sep 20 07:37:28 sounds like you haven't included the module properly Sep 20 07:37:39 misterli: in that case, try restarting android studio :D Sep 20 07:37:51 its sometimes faster then trying to find why something that looks right isn't Sep 20 07:38:02 if it still doesnt work and console building neither, there is an error most likely Sep 20 07:38:04 0.2.9 is the latest, isnt it? Sep 20 07:38:18 yeah Sep 20 07:39:06 (and works for me fine with appcompat :D) Sep 20 07:39:21 restarting didnt solve it. Still not detect @style/Theme.AppCompat .. Sep 20 07:41:40 okay might also be a stupid question, but you placed it in the right build.gradle file? the one in your module and not the one in the root of your project Sep 20 07:41:56 not the one where also a settings.gradle exist, but the one directory deeper in your module Sep 20 07:42:05 yeah. Put it into the build.gradle in my projects folder. Not in the rootfolder Sep 20 07:42:38 same folder where src, res, lib, build is located. build.gradle Sep 20 07:49:05 <^cheeky> g00s: hiiiii Sep 20 07:49:09 <^cheeky> g00s: ok bye Sep 20 07:49:34 O.O Sep 20 07:52:28 just upgraded to buildtools 18.1 and targetsdk(compiledsdk to 18 but same.. :) Sep 20 07:53:02 misterli: there shouldn't be a res folder in there :D Sep 20 07:53:14 oh, you are right. its in src/* Sep 20 07:53:23 but that aside it should be the right folder :) Sep 20 07:58:51 im not sure but could it be that it does not make a full build and include the lib becuause it cannot resolve style="?attr:spinnerDropDownItemStyle" Sep 20 08:23:26 Does anyone know where I can find the distribution of android screen resolutions? like 1024 x 640? Sep 20 08:25:53 Yo, should I keep my activities as clean as possible/create a second class to handle stuff like for example game logic? Sep 20 08:27:24 depends what you mean by game logic but from the sounds of it yes, I like to keep only stuff that pertains to activity lifecycle and basic ui elements Sep 20 08:28:06 I am making a Hangman game, and right now the main activity/game activity contains all the logic Sep 20 08:28:18 I figured It'd be smart to move that into another class, like in any other project :-) Sep 20 08:28:34 Just wanted to know if that is not the standard here in android development Sep 20 08:30:41 oh hm.. Sep 20 08:30:47 then I need to pass in the activity though Sep 20 08:30:54 For the game logic uses stuff like getResources() and similar. Sep 20 08:31:01 Or it's a bit mixed. Sep 20 08:31:32 generally if you feel like it needs it own class it probably does Sep 20 08:31:38 its fine passing the activity if you are in a class that doesn't ahve context Sep 20 08:31:43 yeah thats pretty common on android Sep 20 08:32:07 Alright, how do I pass the activity, just pass this to the constructor? Sep 20 08:32:08 Make it work first. By the time you have it working, you've learned a lot and should be able to refactor it to a clean design if needed. Games are the one place where a lot of the usual MVC paradigms are routinely broken (for a reason). Sep 20 08:32:23 ^this Sep 20 08:32:24 kjeldahl: yeah it works, I know how to easily code this. Sep 20 08:32:25 android classes normally have something like getContext() or getActivity() .. but if you are doing your own classes and dont derive from android types then pasing in the activity is ok Sep 20 08:32:44 I'm pretty much just asking if this is the common pattern or the common pattern is to make a mess in one file. Sep 20 08:32:47 yeah in the constructor Sep 20 08:32:55 cause its by ref\ Sep 20 08:33:14 or if you are using static methods its normally passed as a paramater Sep 20 08:33:27 but yes that is the pattern Sep 20 08:33:37 An alternative to passing everything everywhere is to use an event bus of course (Square Otto) for instance, allowing easy separation of GUI/platform stuff with "pure" model stuff. Sep 20 08:33:58 unless you only want the resources then rather then pasing in the activity you can pass in the act.getResources() only Sep 20 08:34:24 but event bus is cumbersome though Sep 20 08:35:08 overengineering leeds to unnecessary complications Sep 20 08:35:20 if its a small thing anyway Sep 20 08:36:03 Yeah Sep 20 08:36:23 I have to hand this in (uni assignment) before 16:00, just want to clean it up a ibt :-) Sep 20 08:36:25 bit* Sep 20 08:36:27 quickly hehe Sep 20 08:36:46 dont attempt to move stuff around if you need to hand in today, get it working Sep 20 08:36:53 I also need to implement saving/restoring, which is why I figured a class would be good. I could have it initialize from a saved state. Sep 20 08:37:01 normal pattern is passing in the activity in the constructor Sep 20 08:37:16 lemonxah: For everything but a basic one-screen activity, I disagree. I'd rather have generic events than platform specific concepts and code littered throughout my project. Sep 20 08:37:40 his is a one activity app Sep 20 08:38:11 I think I might end up doing public HangmanGame(SavedHangmanGameState s, Activity act) { Sep 20 08:38:16 content providers ftw Sep 20 08:38:31 Well opposite, and if SavedHangmanState is null I'll create a new game, if not I'll use the variables provided Sep 20 08:38:35 Then moving stuff into separate classes, passing activities and contexts, gives him very little. IMHO. Sep 20 08:38:50 then I can persist them onPause if someone quits and restore on onResume? Sep 20 08:39:26 yes agreed kjeldahl .. i was just answering his question about how to proceed if he wants to split it out Sep 20 08:40:30 Hm Sep 20 08:40:36 if its a single activity then just do it in the activity, otherwise you'll have an activity calling methods from one class Sep 20 08:40:42 Alright fuck this, I just need to save the state and it's pretty much done Sep 20 08:40:44 CavemanNinja: Point. Sep 20 08:40:47 Yeah, I'm probably a bit out of context here. :-) Sep 20 08:42:14 Actually Sep 20 08:43:05 I'm not sure if you guys can receive notices, but in the offchance of anyone from my class being in this channel (copying == no grade), I sent the gist in a notice :-P Sep 20 08:43:29 It's a 308 line activity, I'll survive in one class Sep 20 08:43:35 But I do need to figure out how to save it Sep 20 08:44:27 hello, do you know of any streaming libraries apart from libstreaming ? Sep 20 08:44:54 I want to stream from camera to a rtsp server (e.g. like wowza) Sep 20 08:45:07 this is what I found so far: https://github.com/fyhertz/libstreaming/issues Sep 20 08:45:20 I mean https://github.com/fyhertz/libstreaming Sep 20 08:47:08 you can save stuff in a bundle in onSaveInstanceState then restore it in onResume Sep 20 08:48:21 I should use onSaveInstanceState and not OnPause? Sep 20 08:48:43 correct Sep 20 08:49:17 Is there a way to just make it save all the variables I have defined, or do I need to specify putInt, putstring and so on for all of them? Sep 20 08:49:49 you can make a parcable object that contains all your vars Sep 20 08:50:00 then just do putParcable Sep 20 08:50:05 and getParcable\ Sep 20 08:50:08 Hm Sep 20 08:50:14 Right Sep 20 08:50:57 Because basically I have a few ArrayList, a few ints, a bunch of buttons disabled/enabled and a few strings I need to store. Sep 20 08:51:51 that is only in Bundles Sep 20 08:51:53 not on the disk Sep 20 08:52:00 Well not store Sep 20 08:52:02 where do you want to save your data to? Sep 20 08:52:16 But if someone just minimizes the game or whatever to read on faceboo Sep 20 08:52:17 k Sep 20 08:52:35 yeah that is in the saveInstanceState(Bundle b) Sep 20 08:52:38 I want them to be able to go back into the game and get asked 'Resume or new game?' and either continue where they left off or start a new one Sep 20 08:52:50 and then in the onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) Sep 20 08:52:57 you use that bundle it will hold all your data Sep 20 08:53:25 Right, so I need to use that bundle, or create new values there. Sep 20 08:53:34 Is it okay if I pass some data to my activity in a global variable, and then I save it to HDD in saveInstance if I go out of memory? and restore it on onCreate? Sep 20 08:53:44 weird i was getting a nullpointerexception calling findFragmentByTag() on a single device running 4.0.4 updated to 4.1.2 and it went away.. Sep 20 08:53:45 put values into the bundle of saveInstanceState Sep 20 08:54:14 lemonxah: me? Sep 20 08:54:23 sry no flexd :) Sep 20 08:54:40 so, is it safe to do that? Sep 20 08:54:40 lemonxah: So I should not have my own variables at all (that I need to save) but always save them in the savedInstanceState? Sep 20 08:54:42 gavilan2, what data do you have in that causes out of memory Sep 20 08:55:16 lemonxah: you didn't understood... I was referring to when android removes my activity from memory Sep 20 08:55:17 yes flexd, like just putInt("VARNAME", value) or putString.. Sep 20 08:55:43 oh yes gavilan2 then you need to put all the data you want to have in onCreate .. in the bundle of saveInstanceState Sep 20 08:55:44 lemonxah: My question is if it's okay to use Global Variable + saveInstanceState + onCreate instead of passing the thing in the intent Sep 20 08:55:50 its the same thing that flexd is trying to do Sep 20 08:55:57 not global vars Sep 20 08:56:10 flexed: use a parcelable object like lemonxah mentioned http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.html Sep 20 08:56:14 global vars has no garantee that they will still be there Sep 20 08:56:14 lemonxah: The data is "big"m so It's faster to pass it in a global variable rather than thoruhgt the intent Sep 20 08:56:28 lemonxah: That's why I put it in the bundle If I'm removed out of memory Sep 20 08:56:38 gavilan2, its not an intent .. the bundle is saved state Sep 20 08:56:44 state should only be saved there Sep 20 08:56:58 lemonxah: is there any issue in the approach that I'm taking? Sep 20 08:57:09 lemonxah: "Note that it is important to save persistent data in onPause() instead of onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) because the later is not part of the lifecycle callbacks, so will not be called in every situation as described in its documentation." Sep 20 08:57:13 From the docs :/ Sep 20 08:57:14 oh yeah you can put the global data into the save state bundle and then onCreate you can get it out of the bundle and make it global again Sep 20 08:57:29 lemonxah: exactly Sep 20 08:57:36 lemonxah: so will that work fine 100% of the time? Sep 20 08:57:44 yes flexd but what you do is .. onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) Sep 20 08:57:50 lemonxah: because as far as my understanding go, that should be faster than using the intent Sep 20 08:57:57 that bundle contains the bundle that you saved in saveInstanceState Sep 20 08:58:10 onPause() has no mechanism for saving state Sep 20 08:58:19 yes gavilan2 Sep 20 08:58:30 great! Sep 20 08:58:37 flexd, you are not saving persistent data Sep 20 08:58:44 are there any other tricks to speed up things in android? Sep 20 08:58:47 flexd, you are saving state! the state the client is in Sep 20 08:58:54 yeah hm. Sep 20 08:58:55 tons gavilan2 Sep 20 08:59:02 lemonxah: any web page that lists them? Sep 20 08:59:05 but it depends on what you are doing Sep 20 08:59:07 but I've still not figured out how to save an ArrayList though Sep 20 08:59:10 Which is the most important bit atm :/ Sep 20 08:59:16 there is no big collection of all of them unfortunately gavilan2 Sep 20 08:59:25 like this flexd Sep 20 08:59:58 state.putStringArray(); Sep 20 09:00:04 I suppose I could join it to a string and store it Sep 20 09:00:04 or state.putIntArray(); Sep 20 09:00:11 But a arrayList is not an array Sep 20 09:00:27 convert it? Sep 20 09:00:30 its easy enough Sep 20 09:00:45 aha, there is a putStringArrayList Sep 20 09:01:07 (String[]) applicants.toArray(); Sep 20 09:01:10 guys anyone having webview+playing video knowledge please help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18912662/media-error-while-playing-youtube-videon-in-webview Sep 20 09:01:15 or that yes Sep 20 09:01:21 lemonxah: Any tips for using bitmaps in addition to the ones in "Displaying Bitmaps Efficiently"? Sep 20 09:01:28 yes Sep 20 09:01:29 I show lots of images Sep 20 09:01:53 And I have to resize them :( Sep 20 09:01:56 check out disk_lru_cache from JakeWharton Sep 20 09:02:11 cache-ing the bitmaps in memory Sep 20 09:02:12 lemonxah: already using that... Thought I was consider changing to volley Sep 20 09:02:28 i haven't worked with volley yet Sep 20 09:02:41 btw: have you seen a crash with Disk LRU Cache that it says that the directory is invalid when you create it? Sep 20 09:02:47 caching the resized versions is best Sep 20 09:02:58 no i haven't gavilan2 soz Sep 20 09:03:07 Hm.. I can't store anything custom though :/ Sep 20 09:03:14 lemonxah: I know... What's the most efficient way to resize it? I download it from the network Sep 20 09:03:21 you can flexd with state.putParcle Sep 20 09:03:32 I have a public enum HangmanState { Sep 20 09:03:32 and then create a custom object that implements Parcable Sep 20 09:03:34 NOOSE, HEAD, BODY, LEFT_ARM, RIGHT_ARM, LEFT_LEG, RIGHT_LEG, DEAD, FINISH Sep 20 09:03:36 } Sep 20 09:03:38 Which I guess could be a int instead Sep 20 09:03:42 it's just easier to see this way Sep 20 09:04:19 Parcable is awesome for custom data in bundles Sep 20 09:04:41 lemonxah: BTW: Do you know something like disk_lru_cache but for memorY? Sep 20 09:05:29 gavilan2, it depends on what you want to resize it too currently we do a magnitute 2 decrease of pixels till we hit a anmostPixels wide then stop Sep 20 09:05:38 lru cache Sep 20 09:05:48 the disk lru cache is for memory and disk Sep 20 09:05:50 lemonxah: anmostPixels what? Sep 20 09:05:53 lemonxah: ohh, great Sep 20 09:06:13 lemonxah: do you know what's a good way of setting the size? Sep 20 09:07:15 gavilan2, i will have to ask my college as he was tinkering with the cache more than me Sep 20 09:07:53 lemonxah: but then I could have put everything in a parcel? Sep 20 09:08:31 yes flexd you can if you want to it all depends on how much data you want to save Sep 20 09:09:13 if its a big load then create a parcable then at least its 1 setand get on the bundle Sep 20 09:09:18 put** and get Sep 20 09:09:24 but yes :) Sep 20 09:10:44 https://gist.github.com/flexd/1e84fb3d0f258fbeff98 Sep 20 09:10:50 + a few more and a custom enum Sep 20 09:12:53 lemonxah: aha, enum is serializeable ;-) Sep 20 09:13:05 outState.putSerializeable("state", hsState)' Sep 20 09:13:07 ; Sep 20 09:16:28 cool Sep 20 09:16:37 welcome to android dev then :) Sep 20 09:16:53 there is a very long road ahead of learning and learning Sep 20 09:16:55 :) Sep 20 09:17:29 lemonxah: another question... is there any easy way to make an object parcelable without implementing it by hand? Sep 20 09:17:41 lemonxah: serializable works automagically by reflection :) Sep 20 09:21:45 gavilan2, yes and no there are some objects that have it implemented allready Sep 20 09:21:54 but custom you have to implement by hand Sep 20 09:23:36 :( Sep 20 09:23:43 any other tips to improve using a lot of bitmaps? Sep 20 09:29:15 Final todo of this assignment: search for "... BITCH!" and remove before my teacher will see it -_- Sep 20 09:29:31 I'm trying to add ActionBar support for android 2.1 and higher and so need the v7 appcompat support library. Not using Eclipse so the instructions at http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html are incomplete for me. Any help greatly appreciated. Sep 20 09:34:17 haha.. i figured out why the support library was not working.. Sep 20 09:34:23 There's a bug in the SDK Tools 22+ Sep 20 09:35:55 misterli: link please :) Sep 20 09:36:56 closed it already but the fix was (stackoverflow) to download the R22 and replace the tools folder in sdk/ with the 22 sdk tools. And it worked Sep 20 09:37:17 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18842447/bug-in-android-adt-sdk-22-2 Sep 20 09:41:30 lemonxah: I can't seem to get it to save the state.. :/ Sep 20 09:41:37 It just never seems to call onSaveInstanceState() Sep 20 09:41:47 ooh nevermind, it did now. Sep 20 09:42:16 onCreate just isn't called when I re-open the game Sep 20 09:42:23 it's still at the same spot though, so that's cool Sep 20 09:44:34 hold on Sep 20 09:44:57 uhoh Sep 20 09:44:59 shit Sep 20 09:45:01 found a bug :-p Sep 20 09:54:45 hi, i want to create a calendar event entry by using an intent. does the android calendar support an intent string as a back reference to the source so i can point from the calendar entry to my own app? Sep 20 09:56:15 Can I remove a button dynamically from a view? I want to remove/hide three buttons in case the language is not norwegian. Sep 20 10:07:02 if(language != norwegian) { [button removeFromSuperview]; } ? Sep 20 10:07:20 or button.hidden = YES; Sep 20 10:12:41 Well.. yes? I was thinking not in psuedocode :-) Sep 20 10:15:56 layout.removeView(button here); does not seem to do anything :/ Sep 20 10:20:43 then the layout isn't its parent, obviously Sep 20 10:20:53 try getting "layout" as button.getParent() Sep 20 10:21:10 and casting to ViewGroup if you don't know exactly what class does it belong to Sep 20 10:21:36 posplaw: I am. Sep 20 10:21:38 already Sep 20 10:22:04 The parent of the button is a tablerow, and then a tablelayout Sep 20 10:28:29 well then i dont think you can do tablelayout.removeView(button); Sep 20 10:35:39 I could do button.setVisibility(View.GONE) though Sep 20 10:35:41 which worked :-) Sep 20 10:48:09 Guys, let's play a fun game Sep 20 10:48:25 Listing stuff that's more enjoyable than working with Facebook's graph api! Sep 20 10:48:32 I'll start - jamming searing hot pincers into your eyeballs. Sep 20 10:48:52 Hmm, So I am putting a parcalable object in one intent and in BroadCast receiver's onreceive method's second parameter intent, I am receiving something completely different Sep 20 10:48:53 =( Sep 20 10:48:58 Hi Sep 20 10:49:23 Can someone guess why? Sep 20 10:49:33 Josh, you are just transfering the intent data from the source intent into the result intent? Sep 20 10:50:59 Yes. Sep 20 10:51:08 Tee_Pee, http://ideone.com/3GfGlm Sep 20 10:51:10 My parcel. Sep 20 10:53:04 Tee_Pee, Actually, I get the data, but I get previous data Sep 20 10:53:04 Hi all. I have a native daemon running as root on the system and a system app. I would like for these two to communicate with eachother, but Im not sure if I should use named sockets or Binder for IPC? I want to use binder (I think) but have no idea how. Does anyone have any nice example code or something? Sep 20 10:53:06 or something like that. Sep 20 10:53:10 The one I transfered first. Sep 20 10:53:53 Josh Sep 20 10:53:57 In your activity Sep 20 10:54:10 you create an intent, pass the parcelable object and do startService(intent) Sep 20 10:54:12 right? Sep 20 10:54:25 Hmm.. I don't do startService... Sep 20 10:54:31 I do startActivity to start the intent. Sep 20 10:54:55 Actually, I don't even do startActivity, since its a pendingIntent and I want AlarmManager to invoke it.. I Just set alarm Sep 20 10:54:57 Thats all. Sep 20 10:55:51 ah right, a pending intent Sep 20 10:55:54 either way Sep 20 10:56:16 in your alarm service you get that intent, do stuff with it and return a result intent to your receiver, correct? Sep 20 10:56:58 just make sure that, right before you return the resultIntent that you do resultIntent.putExtras(originalIntent); Sep 20 10:57:06 this will copy all stuff from your original intent into the result Sep 20 10:57:16 your parcelable should work properly then. Sep 20 10:58:41 Tee_Pee, Can I pm you just a second and paste two links? Sep 20 10:58:48 sure Sep 20 11:00:04
