**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 21 03:00:00 2013 Sep 21 03:27:43 n/m figure dit out Sep 21 03:27:46 very chatty in here tonight Sep 21 03:40:20 Hey! The maxlines=2 of the textview is not working properly... I debugged and I notice that I get AT_MOST flag sometimes on the onmeasure event... any idea what might be happening? http://pastebin.com/GQGuL9gW Sep 21 03:41:59 I'm getting a "Surface has already been released." exception… what does this mean exactly? SurfaceView currently in use? Sep 21 03:42:10 er, no that wouldnt make sense Sep 21 04:12:15 hi Sep 21 04:12:45 i hate going out Sep 21 04:18:03 CocoStorm, I've never been to the outernet. What's it like? Sep 21 04:18:27 it's awful :( Sep 21 04:19:03 all the chicks are taken if they aren't they're not attractive Sep 21 04:19:19 lol Sep 21 04:22:01 it makes me think well, i had so much more fun coding at home Sep 21 04:22:18 and i'm not the stereotypical programmer Sep 21 05:22:27 SimonVT: I ended up solving it by overriding onMeasure of the parent HSV, and having it call child.measure twice; once to figure out how big it wants to be, and then the second time with the parent HSV's measured width so that the child can resize itself larger to prevent getting clamped. Sep 21 05:22:58 SimonVT: And then I threw it all away and just made the child view bigger initially, lol. Sep 21 05:26:08 why i'm getting "RuntimeException: setParameters failed" when running this code: http://codepad.org/SdEtKpHM ? Sep 21 05:26:24 the logcat is : http://codepad.org/FDRdw2C5 Sep 21 05:45:19 zhangxaochen: which device? Sep 21 05:49:08 HorizonXP, pantech a780L Sep 21 05:52:44 zhangxaochen: I've seen lots of these device-specific issues. What you're doing doesn't seem wrong, but it might just be that there's an error in their code :-/ Sep 21 06:12:43 <^cheeky> hello, i a am using a ListFragment , and i want to use the Lru cache, but is it wise to nitialize the Lru cache class in my activitu and pass it through to the the handlerThread class during the onCreate method of the activity before i call the start() and getLooper() of the handler class Sep 21 06:56:53 <^cheeky> hello if i want to create initial a Lru Cache object , would that be done , in the fragment or in the seperate HanderThread class ? Sep 21 06:57:42 <^cheeky> i have implemented both ways and it works, but i a not sure if either has reduced performance or increased it. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Sep 21 07:00:38 thx, HorizonXP Sep 21 07:24:06 <^cheeky> i <3 android :) Sep 21 07:39:28 <^cheeky> if i have used Bitmap.Options, so which would make all the bitmaps a certain size . then i can reload the same bitmap without create a new bitmap right Sep 21 07:51:08 an interesting chart http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2013/09/20/the-demise-of-blackberry-in-one-chart/ Sep 21 07:51:30 <^cheeky> is it bad , to create memoryCache in a ThraderHandler class ? Sep 21 07:51:48 better use use VaderHandler Sep 21 07:51:55 i have no idea Sep 21 07:51:58 <^cheeky> or would it be better to create the cache and then pass it to the HandlerThread class Sep 21 07:52:08 <^cheeky> *ThreadHandler Sep 21 07:52:10 <^cheeky> sorry Sep 21 07:53:05 <^cheeky> blah ok i guess ill find out later if there are problems that occur, it works so why bother :) Sep 21 08:36:50 Hi, anyone have a example to get JSONArray without array name? / i have found this thread : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10164741/get-jsonarray-without-array-name/18930052 but din`t make it so far. Sep 21 08:37:02 *made it Sep 21 08:42:32 maybe someone has a clue: adding fragment exactly like in the docs, add to backstack, with replace, however the back key always exits the app. Anything else that needs to be defined ? maybe in manfiest (task?) that the doc does not talk about ? Sep 21 09:17:19 neckro: maybe (JSONArray) cast when you read the stream? Sep 21 09:17:42 neckro: if the top-level object is indeed [] and not {} then I guess it's going to return you an array as the top-level handle Sep 21 09:17:48 just a guess Sep 21 09:21:36 there also exists the simple transformation of "{'foo':" + data + "}" to make it work if you can't get it done otherwise Sep 21 09:23:31 The accepted answer seems to explain it just fine Sep 21 09:24:38 oh, right Sep 21 09:24:51 apparently the key difference is using the JSONArray constructor to parse the content Sep 21 09:26:30 Yep. If it's a json object, you use JSONObject.. If it's a json array, you use JSONArray .. If you don't know how to tell the difference between the two, you look that up first Sep 21 09:26:48 "string.charAt(0) == '['" ? Sep 21 09:27:07 anyway should never happen that you need to work that out. Sep 21 09:27:14 No I mean, if you literally don't know what a json object or json array is Sep 21 09:27:22 oh. Sep 21 09:27:24 Or how it looks Sep 21 09:27:52 You know the data format beforehand :p Sep 21 09:28:20 I kinda thought the API was JSONParser.parse(string) which would return something unknown like JSONObject and since in JS arrays are derived from object and have keys like length ... Sep 21 09:28:39 it follows that cast to JSONArray may be valid thing to do Sep 21 09:28:55 I assume he's using the org.json classes Sep 21 09:29:03 That's literally just pass a string to a constructor Sep 21 09:29:04 Hey, can anyone tell me what exactly happens when someone taps on the app in the "recent apps" list? Sep 21 09:30:01 The app is brought to the foreground Sep 21 09:30:15 so the active activity is just shown? Sep 21 09:30:45 Yep Sep 21 09:31:46 alright. I'll try to figure out how to work with them :) Sep 21 09:31:47 thanks Sep 21 09:31:58 .. work with them? Sep 21 09:33:12 JSON is kinda ugly to work with in java, especially as people leave the structure unmodeled. I'm completely spoiled by how JAXB takes all the XML crap in and converts values to objects and returns a tidy tree out. :-/ Sep 21 09:33:34 I just use GSON Sep 21 09:33:40 not modeling seems to be viewed as an advantage by many, but I definitely don't agree with that. Sep 21 09:33:46 my problem at the moment is: there's a main activity and a login activity. when the network is lost the main activity is still shown i think. if a network reappears it reconnects and when the user opens the app in that state it dies because it tries to show the main activity but it can't because some data is still missing Sep 21 09:34:02 that's at least what I think is the problem at the moment Sep 21 09:34:15 oh, gson supports modeling Sep 21 09:35:11 back, thank you alankila and SimonVT , just came back and now i read your lines. Sep 21 09:35:17 I tell it what pojo to return, it iterates through all fields and maps json values to them Sep 21 09:35:21 Can't be easier Sep 21 09:35:58 String user; would get the value from "user" in a json object Sep 21 09:36:30 yes, I see. It's basically like JAXB would do it, though XML is more involved than JSON Sep 21 09:37:21 which means a ton of bullshit annotations in your classes, unfortunately. Sep 21 09:38:18 i want to display all the gallery images and videos in my app activity Sep 21 09:38:34 gson is smart about it.. "some_value" would get mapped to String someValue; .. You can also create your own "name parsers" or whatever they call it Sep 21 09:38:35 h Sep 21 09:38:56 Or of course just do @SerializedName("some_value") Sep 21 09:38:59 SimonVT: the Matt answer is not working by me Sep 21 09:39:22 The app activity is a simple screen where i want to display the whole gallery images and videos as a grid of thumbnails Sep 21 09:39:50 i`m getting a error, 2 sec... i open up eclipse Sep 21 09:40:02 neckro: Then you need to explain your issue better Sep 21 09:40:14 Preferably with stack traces, code samples and data samples Sep 21 09:41:11 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10164741/get-jsonarray-without-array-name/18930052 <-- Alec Sep 21 09:45:57 I have no idea what JSONfunctions is or where you're defining result Sep 21 09:46:36 on this line : JSONArray json = new JSONArray(result); eclipse is giving me 2 errors : result cannot be resolved to a variable / duplicate local variable json Sep 21 09:49:03 so don't define json twice in same scope Sep 21 09:52:07 alankila: that`s mean ? - i`m sure is a silly question that i ask you, but i`m totally noob. Can you help me figure out where is first defined ? Sep 21 09:52:50 probably on one of the lines upwards from where the error is triggered. Sep 21 09:54:10 JSONObject json = JSONfunctions.getJSONfromURL("http://192.168.0.104/earthquakes.json"); Sep 21 09:54:19 yep in here Sep 21 09:54:33 i hear of namespaces in c++ and other languages. are the imports the namespaces in Java? Sep 21 09:54:51 BullShark`: they are called packages, but serve a similar function. Sep 21 09:56:14 the import only affects compilation, and says "Foo" here is an alias for name x.y.z.Foo. Sep 21 09:56:28 but the class is usable without import just by using the fully qualified name Sep 21 09:56:55 also it is considered a poor form to import x.y.z.*. Sep 21 09:57:14 alankila :: do i understand this correctly? the #include from C means a namespace because header.h could have a function named the same in a different header or maybe it wasn't introduced until c++? Sep 21 09:57:29 there are no namespaces in C. Sep 21 09:58:03 so you can't make that claim at all. It just means that a particular functions, variables or defines in that header are now accessible because the compiler has a definition for them. Sep 21 09:58:47 alankila :: i used to do that import x.y.z.* some times before i knew of IDEs and the professor actually had us coding in notepad in windows Sep 21 10:00:06 well, * is handy but in general it is not future-proof Sep 21 10:00:20 add a new class to a package and if it conflicts with another there may be problems. Sep 21 10:01:05 alankila :: conflicts by having a class with the same name? Sep 21 10:01:17 morning ! Sep 21 10:01:26 it means the compiler may decide that Foo, previously in b.Foo, is not a.Foo because a.* is imported before b.* Sep 21 10:01:33 is not = is now Sep 21 10:02:01 then you get errors that can be very confusing to solve because you get error messages like "method foo(Bar) is not applicable to type foo(Bar)" Sep 21 10:02:39 i had never stopped to think of the importance of the order of imports Sep 21 10:02:58 alankila: i rename it to json1 and only result cannot be resolved to a variable remains. JSONArray json1 = new JSONArray(result); // for(int i=0;i map = new HashMap(); // JSONObject e = json1.getJSONObject(i); // map.put("id", String.valueOf(i)); // map.put("name", "Earthquake name:" + e.getString("eqid")); Sep 21 10:03:15 mylist.add(map); Sep 21 10:03:46 neckro :: pastebin. it's not very readable and it spams the channel. Sep 21 10:04:46 neckro: I also don't really understand the error message you are having. Sep 21 10:05:15 My guess is you copypasted 'result' from the source and you have no such variable name Sep 21 10:05:26 from the stackoverflow sourcecode that is Sep 21 10:06:04 just a sec. i will use pastbin Sep 21 10:06:19 since your "result" originates from some web resource, you should write some code to perform a HTTP request and fetch it Sep 21 10:09:29 http://pastebin.com/SS8r2m5L Sep 21 10:14:11 I imagine JSONfunctions is some class of yours Sep 21 10:14:15 how about you make that return JSONArray Sep 21 10:16:54 http://pastebin.com/9d4fnKpK here is JSONfunctions Sep 21 10:17:50 are you aware of a thing called NetworkOnMainThreadException? Sep 21 10:17:59 you'll be getting that Sep 21 10:19:53 neckro: but anyway since this function does some crap to get the json as string and then hands it to a JSONObject, it would be reasonable to change that. Sep 21 10:20:10 Hey, so does anyone know of any similar views to the iCarouselTypeWheel in this library for iOS(https://github.com/nicklockwood/iCarousel) in Android? Sep 21 10:20:15 the next thing you must do is to fetch the json by asynctask or service, maybe learn how to cache it for disk and not fetch it all the time Sep 21 10:20:20 it's basically a spinning circular selector Sep 21 10:23:58 <^cheeky> hello to use DiskLru , i need to create my own DiskLru cache class ? Sep 21 10:26:41 alankila: do you know also how can i change it ? i have looked over internet a example on how can i get JSONArray without a name because the json i`m using is like this earthquake json (without array name) Sep 21 10:28:13 neckro: change type of jArray to JSONArray, call the JSONArray constructor instead of JSONObject constructor, change the method to return JSONArray instead of JSONObject Sep 21 10:28:28 <^cheeky> i am following the android dev guide on displaying images section , but the android source link is broken, i confused as creating the LruCache Sep 21 10:28:36 <^cheeky> *DiskLru Sep 21 10:29:35 alankila: thank you, i will try Sep 21 11:02:34 one simple question Sep 21 11:03:05 do actionbar sherlock implement all things from normal action bar in lower versions? Sep 21 11:03:37 the only difference is in imports? Sep 21 11:08:48 anyone who has experienced Unknown SSL protocol while syncing? I created ~/.netrc and set my global name according to tutorial as git-myemail Sep 21 11:09:36 I am syncing PolishBloodProject from git which has some source on googlesource Sep 21 11:10:28 in other words it is AOSP with some modules, drivers, blobs, etc for my device. Sep 21 11:13:18 Hello Sep 21 11:13:39 my iPhone is iPodtouch(4th) Sep 21 11:14:06 Xcode 5.0 has not my iPodtouch(4th) Sep 21 11:14:29 Do I buy the new iPod touch or siuator? Sep 21 11:14:41 simulator? Sep 21 11:17:06 .. That was out of place. Sep 21 11:28:36 so, blackberry developer conference... worth paying the train fare to go, or not? This is after they gave me a free ticket - actually 2, one directly, one via another conference I went to... Sep 21 11:29:16 They gave me a free tablet and I still can't imagine spending the time to go to any of their conferences. Sep 21 11:29:38 Y'know, after they announced their tablet dreams were dead along with their business. Sep 21 11:29:51 oh, they gave me a free tablet as well... I kept the neoprene sleeve for my N7, sold the rest :) Sep 21 11:30:07 Yeah, I don't think anyone wants to buy my playbook. Sep 21 11:30:11 The sleeve is nice though. Sep 21 11:30:24 it fits the first-gen N7 perfectly, the second-gen is a bit tall, so it's tight Sep 21 11:30:41 I just wish it were blue on the outside. Sep 21 11:30:47 how can i set the camera focal length manually? Sep 21 11:31:15 there are guys in the street here who buy new/second-hand phones/tablets/gaming devices/etc - even if you only pick up $75, say, it's still cash Sep 21 11:32:34 the trick was to find the guy who didn't know what a playbook was, so would buy it thinking it might be an unknown Chinese tablet brand or something :) Sep 21 11:32:46 I live in northern Idaho. No such people exist on my streets. Sep 21 11:33:05 anyone knows? Sep 21 11:33:12 In fact, if you see a person on the street, they're probably lost, hungry, half-dead, and might have rabies. Sep 21 11:33:24 'Cause there's nothing on the streets other than cars, deer, and moose otherwise. Sep 21 11:33:41 And occasionally a bear and/or dead squirrel. Sep 21 11:33:51 I just figure dead squirrels are a staple of roads everywhere though. Sep 21 11:34:02 I live in Hong Kong... rather different. Lots of cockroaches and the odd dead rat though - extremely urban Sep 21 11:34:19 So dead almost-squirrels Sep 21 11:34:37 RIP in peace stack overflow... Sep 21 11:34:52 ? Sep 21 11:35:06 O_o Sep 21 11:35:09 Rest in peace in peace? Sep 21 11:35:10 SO isn't dead. Sep 21 11:35:11 rest in peace in peace? Sep 21 11:35:20 * Nilium high-fives Leeds. Sep 21 11:35:30 down low! Sep 21 11:35:40 NO. Last guy who said that tricked me. Sep 21 11:35:42 Brian|CS: explain please? Sep 21 11:35:48 dammit... Sep 21 11:35:51 lol Sep 21 11:35:52 it's been down Sep 21 11:35:53 for like Sep 21 11:35:55 an hour probably Sep 21 11:35:56 and like Sep 21 11:36:01 there is one smallthing I need to know Sep 21 11:36:06 although maybe someone here knows Sep 21 11:36:06 looks up tome Sep 21 11:36:10 can you put a layout at an angle? Sep 21 11:36:12 It's up for me. Sep 21 11:36:25 http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/stackoverflow.com etc. Sep 21 11:36:34 maybe we got our IP blocked Sep 21 11:36:40 xD Sep 21 11:36:43 Maybe your DNS is crapping itself. Sep 21 11:36:50 Too many requests to SO Sep 21 11:36:50 well Sep 21 11:36:55 I'm at a HUGE hackathon Sep 21 11:36:59 ~1200 partipants Sep 21 11:37:00 so like Sep 21 11:37:05 we probably just made too many requests lulz Sep 21 11:37:09 can someone help me then? Sep 21 11:37:15 I want to know if I can put a view at an angle Sep 21 11:37:17 view/layout Sep 21 11:37:42 Brian|CS, 198.252.206.16 Sep 21 11:38:13 Josh-, If they're blocking our IP due to too many requests it's not gonna work to use an IP Sep 21 11:38:14 Does the view have to be functional once at an angle? Sep 21 11:38:15 it's not a DNS issue Sep 21 11:38:27 uhh, it would be preferable if it was functional Sep 21 11:39:51 Tried an animation? Sep 21 11:40:24 I'd need the property to animate though, would Inot? Sep 21 11:40:45 Property? Sep 21 11:40:54 the property to change the angle? Sep 21 11:40:55 O.o Sep 21 11:41:27 * Nilium stares at him like he's not thinking straight. Sep 21 11:41:36 oh Sep 21 11:41:37 you mean like Sep 21 11:41:38 Nevermind that you want to rotate a view. Sep 21 11:41:39 just use animations Sep 21 11:41:41 and pivots? Sep 21 11:41:44 hmm Sep 21 11:41:48 I thought about that Sep 21 11:41:57 idk why but for some reason it seemed incorrect when i first considered it Sep 21 11:42:02 maybe it's the red bull insanity Sep 21 11:42:03 :S Sep 21 11:43:32 I suspect that caffeine and sugar average to lowering mental performance. Sep 21 11:43:44 so I'd definitely suggest going cold turkey on them. Sep 21 11:49:54 I'd suggest drinking more Sep 21 11:50:54 Bro Sep 21 11:51:00 I'm drinkin redbull and I take amphetamines for my ADHD Sep 21 11:51:06 I'm literally as mentally aware as possible right now Sep 21 11:51:06 lol Sep 21 11:51:40 And at all other times you're probably not. :-p Sep 21 11:52:41 You said "bro," I have no good opinions of your mental capacity right now. Sep 21 11:55:24 So I'm late to the game and just changed from targetSdk=10, to 18, I noticed some devices don't have a menu button making my menu inaccessable. Is the correct way to use ActionBarActivity even tough all I need to have is the common menu button? Sep 21 12:03:53 Are your menus created in some out of the ordinary way? Sep 21 12:15:07 So there's that item in reddit/r/android where people noticed by a black-box hardware benchmark that iPhone 5 can respond to a touch event visibly by flashing screen in 50 ms, whereas every android and windows phone device took > 100 ms to respond Sep 21 12:15:21 do we have any clue as to why iPhone touchscreens are faster? Sep 21 12:16:02 Would really depend on the device it was tested on wouldn't it be? Sep 21 12:16:03 the benchmark was done by a hardware device that hit the screen with an artificial finger and timed until it could detect the screen background flash Sep 21 12:16:44 of course. But apple has either better touchscreens or more advanced drivers with them Sep 21 12:17:23 I think this has been fought by multiples companies that have been trying to bring hardware accelerated touch events in to the source Sep 21 12:17:40 Tegra is the main one I remember Sep 21 12:18:37 Anyway, this is the article announcing the results: http://appglimpse.com/blog/touchmarks-i-smart-phone-touch-screen-latencies/ Sep 21 12:19:07 lol Sep 21 12:19:08 fuck me Sep 21 12:19:15 I'm going to end up writing my own view recycling class Sep 21 12:19:16 lol Sep 21 12:19:18 GG my brain Sep 21 12:19:42 I need the romainguy right abut now Sep 21 12:19:43 ol Sep 21 12:19:44 lol* Sep 21 12:20:11 because 50 ms is an extremely long interval for a processor point of view, there's no argument I can accept about "software layers" or "dalvik vs. native code"... 50 ms is a long, long time. I'm suspecting this is a touchscreen hardware or driver issue. Sep 21 12:20:53 Nilium: Not really, using the onCreateOptionsMenu but the soft menu button does not seem to appear in android devices without a real menu button Sep 21 12:20:55 most likely the capacitive readings have to be stabilized for a time so you get a good estimate for the finger position. It may be that apple's hardware simply returns the result after collecting half the number of measurements. Sep 21 12:21:11 hi, is there a way to replace framework-res.apk without having the key for signing Sep 21 12:21:20 I want to replace the default wallpaper Sep 21 12:21:32 Should be in the actionbar, unless you hid it. Sep 21 12:21:47 =/ Sep 21 12:28:26 Hi guys Sep 21 12:29:38 wow Sep 21 12:29:40 I'm so dumb Sep 21 12:29:42 SOOOO dumb Sep 21 12:29:42 lol Sep 21 12:29:44 that sollution Sep 21 12:29:45 if this works Sep 21 12:29:47 I'm going to cry Sep 21 12:29:57 #hackathons #nosleep #caffeine #dies Sep 21 12:30:33 I'm implementing a gridview to show pictures taken from camera or picked from gallery. My Adapter has a constructor with two args, a Context and a List with list of absolute path images. I attached this adapter to my gridview, but... How can I call a kind of "refresh" method each time user takes new photo? In order to add this new photo to the actual gridview? Sep 21 12:30:33 * Nilium doesn't like that hashtags caught on Sep 21 12:34:37 I also don't like short lines. We old grumpy men, too old for the twitter generation. Sep 21 12:35:22 <^cheeky> Sepho: hey, you need to set the the adapter again Sep 21 12:35:51 just call setAdapter again? Sep 21 12:36:58 <^cheeky> well i a assuming after the data has been modified Sep 21 12:38:09 erm, don't you notifydatasetchanged? Sep 21 12:39:48 You do Sep 21 12:48:09 <^cheeky> hmm, maybe i a confused, because, list .. is the data behind a gridview .. and its not using a listView .. Sep 21 12:51:08 <^cheeky> Trying to implement the DiskCaching is really hard :( Sep 21 13:35:07 Man Sep 21 13:35:10 I wanna open source this bitch so bad Sep 21 13:35:11 if this works Sep 21 13:35:15 it's so stupidly genius Sep 21 13:46:45 Brian|CS what is it Sep 21 13:47:07 just a really simple animation to replace the default fragment transactions Sep 21 13:47:12 but it creates a really interesting visual effect Sep 21 13:47:14 idk Sep 21 13:47:20 i'll explain more later/not this weekend when my brain isf ree Sep 21 13:47:21 lol Sep 21 13:47:37 lol Sep 21 14:06:58 Guys Sep 21 14:07:03 who here knows shit about objectAnimator Sep 21 14:15:16 When in the fragment lifecycle does a view have dimensions Sep 21 14:21:39 That's not part of the fragment lifecycle Sep 21 14:50:06 LD_PRELOAD isn't handled in Android is it? Sep 21 15:10:26 does anybody know how to achieve the equivalent of shmget in android using the ashmem interface? Sep 21 15:17:15 allfro, Is shmget similar to just opening a file in shm and mmaping it? Sep 21 15:17:44 Sonicadvance1: don't know entirely Sep 21 15:17:51 hah Sep 21 15:18:00 I'm looking at examples that involve two pieces IPC binder and the ashmem_* API Sep 21 15:18:01 lemme grab a code example you might be able to use Sep 21 15:18:26 apparently you need a server-side service to get shared memory segments working properly between processes? Sep 21 15:18:35 https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/browse/Source/Core/Common/Src/MemArena.cpp#54 Sep 21 15:19:02 Uses ashmem in Android and /dev/shm in unix Sep 21 15:19:18 Sonicadvance1: you wouldn't happen to have a C example would you? Sep 21 15:19:23 That is C Sep 21 15:19:42 Only difference is one function is in a namespace Sep 21 15:20:39 C++ is painful to read Sep 21 15:20:59 The only thing C++ in that is void MemArena::GrabLowMemSpace(size_t size) Sep 21 15:22:43 Sonicadvance1: how would you reimplement a shmget-like interface with this code? Sep 21 15:25:34 I'm not entirely sure, shmget returns a identifier, but does it work the same as a file descriptor? Sep 21 15:26:11 no Sep 21 15:26:17 it returns a memory segment identifier Sep 21 15:26:35 i dunno man Sep 21 15:26:39 shmat looks like Sep 21 15:26:44 i really dunno the inner workings of the two Sep 21 15:26:55 i'm trying to get postgres server running on this damn android device Sep 21 15:27:12 semaphores and shared memory APIs are stripped Sep 21 15:27:15 so i have to find a solution Sep 21 15:27:42 seems one would use the identifier returned by shmget to grab a memory space with shmat Sep 21 15:39:26 Is there any predefined view to set "category title" such as "Name" and "Organitazion" on this screen? ( http://goo.gl/HHzzps ). I need that horizontal separator line. Or should I build my own? Sep 21 15:39:44 hey guys I am playing with coding my first app. The first thign I am trying to do is request GPS location and am following the info on this page: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html. However the locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener); line is giving me: syntax error on tokens, ConstructerHeaderName expected instead Sep 21 15:39:51 http://ideone.com/HT0BfX is my entire mainActivity Sep 21 15:41:58 <|0xD34D|> Sepho: just add a generic View to your layout, set the width to match_parent and the height to something like 2dp and set the background to the color you want. Sep 21 15:42:31 thanks Sep 21 15:42:53 <|0xD34D|> np, that's the way I've always done horizontal lines. Sep 21 15:42:55 Allright, I am now going crazy. Sep 21 15:43:22 KxTwo: you are not in a method body there Sep 21 15:43:50 I think I will create a separate layout file for use it as include elemnt Sep 21 15:44:04 I have targetSdk 18, and want to add a menu item to the action bar, (the one that should show up when pressing the menu button in android 2.3) Sep 21 15:44:40 <|0xD34D|> Sepho: that would be the ideal way to do it so you can reuse it throughout your main layout Sep 21 15:44:49 phasip, it works the same Sep 21 15:45:08 |0xD34D| but, can I create a layout file with View element as root element? Sep 21 15:45:18 alankila, I just saw that took, would putting it inside of oncreate? Sep 21 15:45:55 KxTwo: that's not English. But you need to have statements to occur inside methods, not in class body. Sep 21 15:46:13 <|0xD34D|> Sepho: just make sure you include the android namespace in it Sep 21 15:46:16 But if I have android build target 10, It won't compile due to errors. And if I have build target 18, nothing shows up on the action bar, even tough I have the extra namespace and app:showAsAction="always" Sep 21 15:50:58 thanks |0xD34D| :) Sep 21 15:52:04 Hi Sep 21 15:52:21 I get an red line under R. and i dont have importet R.. Sep 21 15:52:48 peyam you dont need to import R file explicity Sep 21 15:52:55 try to clean project Sep 21 15:53:10 I have cleaned it many times Sep 21 15:53:12 http://paste.ubuntu.com/6137109/ Sep 21 15:53:19 I works on my second computer.. Sep 21 15:53:22 not on this one Sep 21 15:54:00 you get that error on every R. reference? Sep 21 15:54:07 try to delete R file and clean again Sep 21 15:54:22 yes Sep 21 15:54:29 R file? Sep 21 15:54:33 yes Sep 21 15:55:26 where is it Sep 21 15:56:31 under gen directory Sep 21 15:56:59 there isnt any Sep 21 15:57:14 well.. thats the problem then Sep 21 15:57:30 are you sure your manifest file has no errors? Sep 21 15:57:33 Are you using Eclipse? Does ir report any Errors in the Problems Tab? Sep 21 15:57:48 no errors im 100% Sep 21 15:57:58 maybe it has a minimumSdk target that you have not installed on that computer Sep 21 15:58:05 You are. Is Eclipse as certain as you? Sep 21 15:58:15 kakazza, I havent run it yet. It includes error in the editor Sep 21 15:58:33 Sepho, I wrote it for 4.2.2 and I have 4.2.2 installed Sep 21 15:58:44 You don't need to run it, does Eclipse report anything other than the missing R file? Sep 21 15:58:48 Errors in XMLs, etc Sep 21 15:59:13 kakazza, Description Resource Path Location Type Sep 21 15:59:13 R cannot be resolved to a variable OpenedClass.java /TheNewBoston/src/com/thenewboston/travis line 45 Java Problem Sep 21 15:59:21 can you paste your manifest? Sep 21 15:59:31 You can also try to explicitly import your R file. Sep 21 15:59:47 Sepho, yes. wait Sep 21 16:00:08 But since you don't have one, restart Eclipse. It's dumb, but sometimes helps. Sep 21 16:01:02 Sepho, http://pastebin.com/r8WRiZyH Sep 21 16:01:13 kakazza, done it 20 times Sep 21 16:01:58 it's usually easier to clean the project Sep 21 16:02:08 restarting eclipse is rarely necessary in fact Sep 21 16:02:11 alankila, done it 100 times Sep 21 16:02:19 sometimes it gets wedged when failing to build R for some reason Sep 21 16:02:30 hey peeps .. so .. asmack any experience getting that to connect? Sep 21 16:02:43 i have asmack-android-17-0.8.3.jar Sep 21 16:02:54 i have no idea whats with the version codes Sep 21 16:02:56 anyway I guess you aren't importing R Sep 21 16:03:04 pfn: you'd better implement android backup service for qirc, it's very annoying add user and server info after reset Sep 21 16:04:38 very strange Sep 21 16:04:46 * lemonxah hoping for someone with experience with asmack Sep 21 16:09:08 hopes shattered Sep 21 16:10:29 what time is it over there? Sep 21 16:10:38 peyam you have android froyo as minSdkVersion Sep 21 16:10:50 2.2 yes Sep 21 16:10:52 is it installed on your computer? Sep 21 16:10:54 yes Sep 21 16:21:06 gdrc, on the low pri list Sep 21 16:21:14 stop resetting :p Sep 21 16:21:40 for that matter, why are you resetting? Sep 21 16:21:59 try different rom on my sgs2 Sep 21 16:23:15 use tibu Sep 21 16:25:04 I used to Sep 21 16:28:05 <^cheeky> is it really necessary to use DiskLru, or could cacheing images and preloading them work Sep 21 16:32:03 <^cheeky> do i have to be root or something to write acess to the /data folder ? Sep 21 16:32:24 <^cheeky> coz every time i try to access it says filenotfoundexception Sep 21 16:32:40 <^cheeky> even though my log file says the file was created Sep 21 16:33:22 <|0xD34D|> system is the user and group for /data Sep 21 16:33:50 <|0xD34D|> so you either need to be the system user or root to do anything in there, which is a good thing Sep 21 16:34:14 <^cheeky> well then where would i create my DiskLru Cache directory ? Sep 21 16:35:20 <|0xD34D|> in your apps data directory Sep 21 16:35:29 |0xD34D|: just check file permissions with adb shell or similar and you will see Sep 21 16:35:50 <|0xD34D|> bluesceada: why you telling me? Sep 21 16:35:56 <|0xD34D|> that's how I saw it's system:system Sep 21 16:37:06 ah ok Sep 21 16:37:10 |0xD34D|: sry then Sep 21 16:37:15 probably you need root then Sep 21 16:37:21 <|0xD34D|> I'm not the one that wants write access to /data Sep 21 16:37:23 because the apps all have their own group/user Sep 21 16:37:38 <^cheeky> well when i do getActivity.getCacheDir().getPath() == data/data/packagname/cache/"DirectoryName i specified " Sep 21 16:49:25 asmack connecting now but its so slow? Sep 21 16:49:26 :/ Sep 21 16:49:33 wow http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/556341540/pressy-the-almighty-android-button Sep 21 16:52:24 so... I put something in my headphone jack. And that means I can't use it anymore Sep 21 16:52:29 that's... a problem Sep 21 16:52:43 not for me Sep 21 16:53:01 to me headphone jack is as useful as my ears Sep 21 17:02:10 Anyone ever run apitrace in Android? :/ Sep 21 17:04:34 One simple question. I've an activity with many EditText's on it. When I launch the activity, the first edittext automatically gains focus and keyboard appears. How can I avoid this? I don't wanna shoy keyboard unless user touch on any editText Sep 21 17:04:39 <^cheeky> so in the Android system you have too root your device to cache data into your cache directory ? Sep 21 17:06:05 ^cheeky: nope Sep 21 17:06:14 unless you want to do some weird things Sep 21 17:06:25 the system cache is *system's* Sep 21 17:06:42 <^cheeky> p_l: no not at all iam trying to implement , diskCaching LRU .. what ever .. Sep 21 17:06:50 sep is there some sort of focus setting on controls? Sep 21 17:07:16 <^cheeky> Contect.getCacheDir() is giving back the systems cache ? Sep 21 17:08:03 <^cheeky> p_l: *context.gatCacheDir() == your apps cach dir right /? Sep 21 17:08:16 Sepho: Sep 21 17:08:40 found a solution! Sep 21 17:09:26 <^cheeky> p_l: when i do contxt.getCacheDir() , it spits out == data/data/myappName/cache/myNewDirectory Sep 21 17:09:55 <^cheeky> context == getActivity(), since i a using it in a fragment . Sep 21 17:10:06 what was solution Sepho Sep 21 17:10:23 it should be /data/data/package/cache, ^cheeky Sep 21 17:10:37 set android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" on my manifest file, inside my activity section Sep 21 17:11:10 cool Sep 21 17:11:39 <^cheeky> gdrc: yes thats what i am getting ... Sep 21 17:12:00 perfect Sep 21 17:12:23 <^cheeky> gdrc: wait .. cahce, newdirectory name ? Sep 21 17:12:47 <^cheeky> gdrc: why a "," ? instead of "/" Sep 21 17:13:12 <^cheeky> data/data/package/cache, member:%5Echeeky Sep 21 17:13:17 no no Sep 21 17:13:22 forget the , Sep 21 17:13:29 <^cheeky> ok Sep 21 17:13:56 <^cheeky> data/data/package/cache/userDirectory Sep 21 17:14:27 <^cheeky> i get it but still i dont know why it said open failed ENOENT(no such file or directory) Sep 21 17:14:34 why userDirectory ? Sep 21 17:15:12 <^cheeky> i dunno more organised Sep 21 17:15:20 <^cheeky> i am gonna remove will see Sep 21 17:16:45 <^cheeky> gdrc: i did it following the android dev document, trying to follow the caching bitmaps tutorial Sep 21 17:17:37 may I ask what are you trying to do? Sep 21 17:18:20 <^cheeky> use DiskLRUCache Sep 21 17:18:32 yes but to do what? Sep 21 17:19:19 <^cheeky> load the images from DISK , when the ones in my memory cache go missing Sep 21 17:19:37 Is there any way to avoid an edittext to gain focus on activity starts? I could hide keyboard, but edittext has still focus gained Sep 21 17:19:52 <^cheeky> gdrc: http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/cache-bitmap.html Sep 21 17:20:24 ^cheeky: gotta go now, btw use picasso Sep 21 17:20:48 Sepho, declare something else as focusable before the edittext Sep 21 17:21:08 why this code http://codepad.org/2ZUKkw6X makes my phone not responding? Sep 21 17:22:30 <^cheeky> picasso ... Sep 21 17:22:31
