**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 26 02:59:59 2013 Sep 26 03:44:49 I wish crash reports could be responded to Sep 26 03:45:31 yeah Sep 26 03:47:39 so the user doesn't think their shit goes into a black hole at least Sep 26 03:48:52 pfn: So, Android Test Case... How do I load an asset from the asset folder (which is not inside the rest folder) or the Test Project (which is different from the project under test)? Sep 26 03:49:32 getContext().getAssets().open("/myassetfile") doesn't work... with "/asset/myassetfile/" it doesn't work either Sep 26 03:49:43 only assets from the main asset can be loaded Sep 26 03:49:46 er, main apk Sep 26 03:49:49 not from the test apk Sep 26 03:49:53 pfn: but what if I need an asset for the test? Sep 26 03:49:59 not for the program itself? Sep 26 03:50:01 I haven't figured that out myself Sep 26 03:50:05 :( Sep 26 03:50:18 maybe there's a way, but I didn't bother researching it Sep 26 03:50:28 I imagine there should be.... Sep 26 03:50:56 pfn: can you load it from the res folder? or that doesn't work anyway? Sep 26 03:51:00 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3901342/android-accessing-test-application-assets Sep 26 03:51:47 seems like you should be able to getInstrumentation().getContext().getAssets()... Sep 26 03:51:56 same with getResources Sep 26 03:52:00 I'll try that Sep 26 03:52:05 and what will the path be Sep 26 03:52:12 if the asset is /asset/myasset Sep 26 03:52:12 ? Sep 26 03:52:17 myasset Sep 26 03:52:22 k, thx Sep 26 03:52:25 other question Sep 26 03:52:34 how to prevent people clicking two times in a button? Sep 26 03:52:42 the setdisabled thing doesn't work Sep 26 03:52:46 remove your listener, disable the button, etc. Sep 26 03:52:56 setEnabled(false) seems to work fine for me Sep 26 03:53:05 pfn: it works unless you have 2 clicks already queued... Sep 26 03:53:24 then set a variable while your listener is processing and ignore any clicks while the variable is set Sep 26 03:53:52 pfn: my problem is that I want to re-enable the click when the action that the click perform is finished, yet I don't want to do this manually every time Sep 26 03:54:12 how are you managing to queue 2 clicks anyway... Sep 26 03:54:19 shouldn't be possible on a device Sep 26 03:54:28 pfn: it's definitly possible Sep 26 03:54:43 pfn: you either click fast, or you perform a bunch of work in the UI or a lot on the device Sep 26 03:54:52 * pfn shrugs Sep 26 03:54:53 there is nothing preventing many clicks for being queued Sep 26 03:55:00 do it manually, write an abstraction to filter it Sep 26 03:55:05 It's just that you usually respond to the first one pretty fast Sep 26 03:55:07 so you don't have to do it manually Sep 26 03:55:30 pfn: my problem is how to figure out if I click camed while I was processing the previous one, or not Sep 26 03:56:01 onClick() { if (iAmProcessing) return; iAmProcessing = true; ...; iAmProcessing = false } Sep 26 03:56:26 pfn: that's useless given that clicks are executed all in the UI thread Sep 26 03:56:36 indeed Sep 26 03:56:40 you'll never get 2 calls of onClick at the same time Sep 26 03:56:43 but you'll get one call Sep 26 03:56:45 and then another call Sep 26 03:56:50 you're right Sep 26 03:57:00 * pfn shrugs Sep 26 03:57:14 setEnabled(false) and if your users click faster than you can process... optimize your processing ;-) Sep 26 03:57:19 or blame their device for being shitty Sep 26 03:57:23 * pfn go zzz Sep 26 03:57:43 pfn: if the device is doing things on background, there is nothing you can do to stop it Sep 26 03:58:01 it's not the most common thing, but still.... Sep 26 03:58:08 I dunno how heavily you're doing stuff in the background, but I haven't really encountered that Sep 26 03:58:26 pfn: if other apps are doing stuff in background, they affect you Sep 26 03:58:49 * pfn shrugs Sep 26 03:58:56 you figure it out, I'm not interested, too tired Sep 26 04:08:39 I am trying to update apps on my android device and it shows there is an update but after it downloads says X app is not installed when it is. Is there a way to find out why it does this? I do have a sd card mounted(installed)' Sep 26 04:11:34 It is not possible to override the hard keyboard search button to launch a specific activity from the background, but it is possible to do so on a long press of that button, correct? Sep 26 04:14:28 Hey Guys, I'm trying to install roboelectric with eclipse. But my project is not able to resolve roboelectric library Sep 26 04:14:52 The import com.xtremelabs cannot be resolved Sep 26 04:15:20 I'm using robolectric-2.2-20130925.063940-58-jar-with-dependencies.jar with android api 16 Sep 26 04:16:57 this http://pivotal.github.io/robolectric/eclipse-quick-start.html guide is specific to API 8 Sep 26 04:17:11 does roboelectric only supports API 8 Sep 26 04:49:00 Hey Guys, so I've a basic question on automation. I want to write a RPC test cases for my application Sep 26 04:49:07 what is the best tool to use Sep 26 04:51:35 I am trying to update apps on my android device and it shows there is an update but after it downloads says X app is not installed when it is. Is there a way to find out why it does this? I do have a sd card mounted(installed) Sep 26 05:04:58 oh he's back!!! Sep 26 05:21:49 I've got a fairly basic webview-based application that loads a javascript app over the local network. The app displays images in a sequence (i.e. pages of a comic, with 1 page == 1 image file). The user clicks the image to load the next one in the sequence etc. This all works fine, for a while, but intermittently clicking to get the next image takes ages to load the image, say 30 seconds - 1 minute. Sep 26 05:22:04 I see the same behaviour in the built-in Internet appllication Sep 26 05:22:52 The javascript app is hosted by a machine on the local network, and I'm connecting to it via the device's wifi. The device I'm using is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 running 4.0. Sep 26 05:24:11 Is this a common problem? I can't tell if it's a client/webview issue, or something about the wifi connection, or the host is being weird (the wifi network is being created by the device [a raspberry pi] hosting the javascript app, through putting a wifi adapter into host mode) Sep 26 05:25:06 While the image is attempting to load, the wifi icon shows up and down activity, but still, it takes much longer than usual (30s-1m vs 1s or so) Sep 26 05:34:33 At a guess, it could be a memory management issue, but I am under the impression that WebView manages memory itself, and would crash the application rather than make the image load take longer Sep 26 05:37:49 I am trying to update apps on my android device and it shows there is an update but after it downloads says X app is not installed when it is. Is there a way to find out why it does this? I do have a sd card mounted(installed) Sep 26 06:07:45 hello Sep 26 06:08:02 I am trying to update apps on my android device and it shows there is an update but after it downloads says X app is not installed when it is. Is there a way to find out why it does this? I do have a sd card mounted(installed) Sep 26 06:09:47 well, if it isn't 'NOT A BOT" LLckfan spamming us again with bullshit Sep 26 06:10:04 I AM NOT A FING BOT Sep 26 06:10:08 bs Sep 26 06:11:18 hi , anyone know a good way to list at database data/data without root ? I tried adb shell ls data it said i didn't have permission and didn't list anything Sep 26 06:11:47 newll, one way is to adb backup the db to your desktop Sep 26 06:11:51 It is not possible to override the hard keyboard search button to launch a specific activity from the background, but it is possible to do so on a long press of that button, correct? Sep 26 06:12:01 the other way, assuming its your app, is 'run-as' Sep 26 06:13:47 LLckfan, this is android DEV, please take it elsewhere Sep 26 06:14:59 like where Sep 26 06:15:46 LLckfan anywhere, not here. Sep 26 06:17:07 g00s : which way to backup the whole database data/data Sep 26 06:17:18 g00s : my gtab device was not rooted Sep 26 06:18:47 how do you see the future of android ? Sep 26 06:19:03 newbiedroid you would just back up your app i think Sep 26 06:20:28 g00s : I have some bookmark save at opera browser which I wanted to backup the opera database which only located at data/data Sep 26 06:20:50 oh in that case, i dunno Sep 26 06:23:08 is it not possible to make an app that connect every device android ? Sep 26 06:24:34 every device android of the world. Sep 26 06:24:52 i mean Sep 26 06:25:06 cortexA9 : android future is very complicated Sep 26 06:25:31 we use all android right ? Sep 26 06:25:42 :) Sep 26 06:25:52 but we can't interact each others. Sep 26 06:26:02 in a certain time , there'll be nothing to be improve for user. Sep 26 06:26:22 what do you mean interact ? Sep 26 06:26:26 yes Sep 26 06:26:35 interact with androidians. Sep 26 06:26:42 anyhow , does anyone able to solve my question Sep 26 06:27:07 yeh , like I need help but no one willing to lend a hand Sep 26 06:27:12 oh Sep 26 06:27:15 i dont know sorry Sep 26 06:31:28 I repeat , anyway to list read protected file on database ? ls doesn't work for non rooted devices . adb root doesn't work , run-as doesn't work since I can't even view the ls Sep 26 06:32:18 newbiedroid is this related to /your/ application ? Sep 26 06:33:11 g00s : nope , not a debugger , it's just opera browser classic Sep 26 06:33:43 newbiedroid than its not app development , so its off topic for this channel - take it somewhere else Sep 26 06:33:46 is it not possible to make a social browser for android ? Sep 26 06:33:54 g00s : It get crash and can't open but I have a bunch of bookmark overthere.didn't use sync though my regrets . Right now , only option to pulll the data out Sep 26 06:34:36 g00s : guess which channel is suitable for my question ? Sep 26 06:34:51 maybe #android-root or something Sep 26 06:39:02 oh thanks then Sep 26 06:42:52 is it possible to "sort" divs based on their class? i.e. In a container I want all the divs with class="foo" to come before any other divs ? Sep 26 06:42:57 I am trying to update apps on my android device and it shows there is an update but after it downloads says X app is not installed when it is. Is there a way to find out why it does this? I do have a sd card mounted(installed) Sep 26 06:44:09 LLckfan get an iPhone Sep 26 06:50:25 Hello guys I am having a strange problem I am rendering a custom View in a LinearLayout with some graphics drawn in onDraw method, when I call invalidate() or postInvalidate() from my activity everything works perfect on my android 2.3.5 but on my 4.2 it doesn't invalidates until I focus on the LinearLayout Sep 26 06:50:28 any ideas ? Sep 26 06:50:47 I am not using hardware accelaration Sep 26 07:10:11 What's the best way to handle letter by letter triggered search results for a listview that combines several different sources? Sep 26 07:51:15 good morning Sep 26 07:51:29 any ideas about getting data from another fragment? Sep 26 07:51:47 could you be more specific Sep 26 07:51:49 like i am on a fragment and then start a new fragment to get selected contacts Sep 26 07:52:06 I am trying to update apps on my android device and it shows there is an update but after it downloads says X app is not installed when it is. Is there a way to find out why it does this? I do have a sd card mounted(installed) Sep 26 07:52:19 and then go back to the previous fragment that has saved state and get the list of selected contacts Sep 26 07:52:23 makes sense? Sep 26 07:56:18 so no go? Sep 26 07:57:53 lemonxah: use targetFragment Sep 26 07:57:55 does anyone ever worked with iText creating PDF and know how to set a reference to jump form a list (item) to an anchor? Sep 26 07:58:28 lemonxah: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/Fragment.html#setTargetFragment%28android.support.v4.app.Fragment,%20int%29 Sep 26 07:58:41 lemonxah: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/Fragment.html#getTargetFragment%28%29 Sep 26 07:59:39 misterli: wouldnt that just be a standard link? to a #anchor Sep 26 07:59:41 awesome thnx Sep 26 08:00:36 LLckfan: sounds like data in your installation of the play-store has become corrupt/out-of-sync why not force-stop the play-store app and clear its data and lunch it fresh Sep 26 08:01:27 Not using the play store Sep 26 08:01:49 so this is in the app settings? Sep 26 08:02:08 no Sep 26 08:02:41 then what the hell are you talking about ? Sep 26 08:02:48 Napalm|wrk LLckfan is a bot Sep 26 08:03:11 hey g00s'y Sep 26 08:03:17 hows it hnaging? Sep 26 08:03:19 :) Sep 26 08:03:51 hey Napalm|wrk :D Sep 26 08:04:02 get the AS 0.2.10 update? Sep 26 08:04:04 Good morning I would contribute to the AOSP project. Anyone can help me? Sep 26 08:04:35 stesal: construbute what? Sep 26 08:04:46 *contribute Sep 26 08:05:09 g00s: erm, nope? AS?! Sep 26 08:05:23 Napalm|wrk are you using vim also ? :P Sep 26 08:05:42 i use vim, but not for Android dev :( Sep 26 08:06:06 it would be awesome if Google made an Android plugin for vim and emacs :D Sep 26 08:06:08 oh sht, you mean AndroidStudio Sep 26 08:06:10 doh Sep 26 08:06:14 :) Sep 26 08:07:46 Napalm|afk, yeah. But it's a chunk. How to add a chunk to a table cell? Sep 26 08:13:45 Napalm|wrk: contribute to the software development of the AOSP or any of its sub-project Sep 26 08:14:30 probably best to work for google ;) Sep 26 08:15:56 ahah this isn't a bad idea Sep 26 08:18:32 stesal: i think you miss my point, what area of AOSP would you like to contribute too? Sep 26 08:18:41 http://vimeo.com/75260457 < awesome video Sep 26 08:19:44 <^cheeky> gridView does not have fragment like listFragment :( Sep 26 08:20:22 ^cheeky thats ok Sep 26 08:21:19 <^cheeky> i think what i have learnt is wrong, in my adapters, i am not passing context as a inner class class variable Sep 26 08:21:27 <^cheeky> ill try passing it in maybe Sep 26 08:22:16 if my phone has android 4.1.2, what do I need to set minSdkVersion as? Sep 26 08:22:54 Jonno_FTW ? thats like saying, "my car is green, what kind of gas do i need" Sep 26 08:23:09 nvm Sep 26 08:23:17 :) Sep 26 08:40:32 Napalm|wrk: In any apps present in platform/packages, but I don't have a clear idea of which of them. Sep 26 08:41:15 stesal: you probably want this. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/android-contrib Sep 26 08:43:29 http://youtu.be/FD-5DmT5SLU Sep 26 08:43:50 doh, wrong window Sep 26 08:56:47 Is it possible to have a lifo queue using volley? Sep 26 09:07:21 aww bummer, had to force quit AS Sep 26 09:09:06 <^cheeky> :/ Sep 26 09:09:09 <^cheeky> :( Sep 26 09:09:10 <^cheeky> sorry Sep 26 09:13:57 it has a nasty habit of showing the device chooser window in a different desktop; both windows then become inactive Sep 26 09:25:21 <^cheeky> hmm mac thing i spose Sep 26 09:35:22 How tightly coupled with the actual kernel is the divalik virtual machine Sep 26 09:37:55 <^cheeky> blaah Sep 26 09:38:01 <^cheeky> i have to manually set up an adapter Sep 26 09:38:09 <^cheeky> for a gridview in a fragment Sep 26 10:24:57 Hi i've subclassed ImageView in MainActivity as public class MyImageView extends ImageView, and in my layout I've done , but I get a class not found exception Sep 26 10:25:31 any ideas why that might be? Sep 26 10:26:18 I think you need to do , I'm not familiar with what the other thing means Sep 26 10:29:14 oh. I think I see something. Sep 26 10:29:19 You probably have to replcae the last . by $ Sep 26 10:29:42 and the class must be static, can't be inner. Sep 26 10:30:30 I didn't even notice that was an inner class name at first. Sep 26 10:32:36 ah Sep 26 10:33:49 java, could you please get real inner classes? any time this century would be swell, okay. Sep 26 10:34:59 what is the difference between fragment.add and .replace? Sep 26 10:35:19 alankila: thanks Sep 26 10:35:27 cause .add().commit() doesn't show the new fragment i want shown Sep 26 10:37:06 alankila: now my onclick method can't be found Sep 26 10:37:56 it's a private method of MainActivity Sep 26 10:39:17 Jonno_FTW: you're trying to do non-static inner classes. I strongly suspect that's not going to work. Sep 26 10:40:06 because to work, it would require that the layoutinflater notices that this class is inner, find the instance of the outer class, and pass it in the constructor. All doable in theory, but whether it's smart enough is another matter. I suspect not. Sep 26 10:42:16 alankila: thanks I got it though Sep 26 10:42:20 I'm trying to make a file downloader asynctask. But I have a issue when saving the file. Not all urls ends with a filename. How can I hash the url into something which I can use as a unique file name? md5, sha1 something faster and better? Sep 26 10:42:43 but now it isn't using my custom onDraw methofd Sep 26 10:44:25 snot: basically canonicalizing the url and hashing it would do, or you could just let the androids httpurlconnection or like cache it for you, though it required some setup to happen Sep 26 10:47:29 snot: I was lazy when I did something like that myself and just replaced / by _ and used the URL otherwise as-is as a cache key to a file on filesystem Sep 26 10:47:53 there are only two forbidden characters to a filename on unix-like systems and they are the null byte and / Sep 26 10:48:19 urls aren't allowed to contain the null byte, so that leaves only / Sep 26 10:53:23 alankila: I got it working, but now I can't do MyImageView iv = (MyImageView)findViewById(R.id.istMap); Sep 26 10:53:38 it gives a class cast exception from ImageView Sep 26 10:54:35 Well, did you do like I told you to? Sep 26 10:54:48 I have no idea if this class is supposed to work or what it's meant to do Sep 26 10:54:52 i used the class attribute Sep 26 10:55:00 well I'm going to guess it didn't work out Sep 26 10:55:04 it's a subclass of imageview that draws some stuff onto the view Sep 26 10:55:42 and logs Sep 26 10:55:53 but it's ont acting like MyImageView Sep 26 10:59:48 <^cheeky> is there something that i am not doing right .. because when i rotate the gridView .. its reloads everything by downloading images again and i have setRetainInstance(true). Is it because i have alot of imageViews that it doesnt save them Sep 26 11:00:17 also Hmm. Disappointing. Can you try replacing the $ by . again, see if that allows it to work? Sep 26 11:00:53 it didn't work Sep 26 11:01:01 what happened Sep 26 11:01:19 it says no such class? I'm guessing the $ is not a valid qname for an element Sep 26 11:01:52 so, anyway, get rid of the inner class altogether. Just separate it into separate files and chalk this to java being shit or android being shit, whichever you prefer Sep 26 11:02:13 haha Sep 26 11:02:14 okay Sep 26 11:02:15 I think they're both poo in that inner classes deserve to be an actual runtime abstraction, just like generics Sep 26 11:02:32 and android and this xml shit can go die in a fire for being irritating as hell Sep 26 11:02:51 I agree Sep 26 11:04:03 if the XML file constructed a class like foo.layout => FooLayout, and you'd say setContentView(fooLayout = new FooLayout()) or something, I'd hate it a good deal less. Sep 26 11:04:25 first point. 1) no findViewById. 2) no IDs; 3) easier to use; Sep 26 11:04:49 I hate code generators but given that you basically have to do *something* to get that XML shit going, I'd rather they generated full classes rather than this id shit Sep 26 11:05:23 or, alternatively, that they generated nothing at all and you'd reference objects by looking up IDs by string. Just like in ordinary xml stuff. Sep 26 11:06:01 Useless to complain, this will never get fixed. It's just another idiotic design choice made by people who were probably thinking that applications get written in C++. Sep 26 11:06:25 well I put it in another file, but now how do I get a reference to MainActivity? Sep 26 11:06:47 well it receives a Context. That Context happens to be the activity, so you can just cast it and it ought to work. Sep 26 11:07:05 but if you think that's ugly, or you use the same thing from multiple places, you can define a method to pass in activity instance (by an interface you define) Sep 26 11:12:41 alankila: I ended up doing url.toString().hashCode(). Is that ok? I havent tested my code just yet... it's part of a bigger scheme :) Sep 26 11:16:43 I am doing some pinch zooming. When panning around at default scale value, it works fine. But when i scale the picture up or down, the panning stops functioning. Anyone who has any idea to how i can solve that issue ? Sep 26 11:16:54 <^cheeky> is it bad to use setRetainInstance vs onSavedInstance Sep 26 11:17:06 snot: no, it's a horrible design and you don't understand hashCode Sep 26 11:17:15 don't use it. It's only meant for hashmap implementations. Sep 26 11:17:24 or well, anything based on hash buckets Sep 26 11:19:12 how a Sep 26 11:19:14 when ive for instance zoomed in, so the scale value is 2.0 - i can pan to the lower right corner, but whenever i start dragging the image from that point, it gets dragged to the upper left corner Sep 26 11:20:25 is there a room for android studio (the IDE)? Sep 26 11:22:35 alankila, i desperatly need your help ;) Sep 26 11:23:01 troloyolo: I have no idea whatsoever about your situation. Sep 26 11:23:10 darn it Sep 26 11:23:19 ive tried almost about everything Sep 26 11:25:13 j Sep 26 11:26:29 alankila: I moved myimageview into a class, and now I get binary xml file: erro inflating class com....MyImageView Sep 26 11:29:26 you probably neglected to implement relevant constructors Sep 26 11:29:32 yeah I did Sep 26 11:30:09 well what is the actual cause of error Sep 26 11:31:57 yay it works now Sep 26 11:32:04 except it's not doing my custom drawing Sep 26 11:33:10 do I have to call a special method in onDraw to make the canvas change or something? Sep 26 11:38:14 <^cheeky> can anyone please help me ? Sep 26 11:42:00 ^cheeky: what seems to be the problem? Sep 26 11:43:41 <^cheeky> :( i think i overwhelmed myself and i am confused with saving my images once i do a screen rotation Sep 26 11:44:52 <^cheeky> can i show code ... please Sep 26 11:48:24 <^cheeky> Jonno_FTW: is should i not use setRetainInstance .. if i am using threads or something Sep 26 11:49:23 I recommend asking on stackoverflow Sep 26 11:49:30 <^cheeky> ok Sep 26 11:49:38 <^cheeky> thank you Sep 26 11:55:20 anyone else uses asmack? Sep 26 11:55:39 it takes 10 seconds to connect Sep 26 11:55:50 that is the timeout for the reverse dns lookup? Sep 26 11:55:56 is there a way to disable that?

Sep 26 12:52:15 Hey again. Sep 26 12:53:48 How easy/horrible is it to implement true fullscreen (hiding the status bar and the on screen buttons)? I need it in a way that doesn't resize an important view, but that view needs to nearly fill the screen when the bars are hidden (so it is larger than the "screen" when the bars are visible). Sep 26 12:54:13 I just need a rough estimate. Sep 26 12:54:32 2 window flags Sep 26 12:55:27 or an Activity theme Sep 26 12:55:40 @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen Sep 26 12:57:16 when ive for instance zoomed in, so the scale value is 2.0 - i can pan to the lower right corner, but whenever i start dragging the image from that point, it gets dragged to the upper left corner Sep 26 13:02:55 my onDraw method does nothing Sep 26 13:03:17 in my subclass of imageview, i call canvas.drawCircle but nothing is shown Sep 26 13:03:53 I've used Log.i() and the method is being called but, nothing is being drawn Sep 26 13:14:26 I am doing some pinch zooming. When panning around at default scale value, it works fine. But when i scale the picture up or down, the panning stops functioning. Anyone who has any idea to how i can solve that issue ? Sep 26 13:23:04 sample source code uses this FileHandler .. com.fscz.snatches.util.FileHandler Sep 26 13:23:18 tried findjar.com cant find the jar it belongs too Sep 26 13:25:32 seems like it is used to create a tmp file from an asset file Sep 26 13:25:42 in particular keystore and truststore files Sep 26 13:25:51 how do i create and write those assets? Sep 26 13:32:39 Hi, when I try to start an AVD using AVD Manager from within ADT, by clicking on start, nothing happens... as in absolutely nothing Sep 26 13:32:48 these are the contents of console:- http://pastebin.com/SiQP9LGi Sep 26 13:32:57 Any help is greatly appreciated Sep 26 13:43:15 anyone? Sep 26 13:43:41 I'd try starting it on the commandline Sep 26 13:46:08 Leeds: Thanks for the response. :) Sorry for the noobish question, but how would I do that? Sep 26 13:46:21 emulator -avd a Sep 26 13:48:29 hmm.. I get "no command 'emulator' found" Sep 26 13:48:44 yeah... you'd need to know where the emulator is Sep 26 13:55:26 do you have to use intent to start an Activity ? Sep 26 13:55:35 yup Sep 26 13:55:59 Zylinx - any reason why you wouldnt wanna use intent ? Sep 26 13:56:29 just wondering, also when i start an Activity is there any way of accessing that object from where i started it ? Sep 26 13:56:34 have an assets issue Sep 26 13:56:50 where should the assets folder be to be automatically picked up? Sep 26 13:57:12 like i got startActivity(blah) then on the next line talk to the new activity somehow Sep 26 13:58:17 zylinx: intent.putExtra("MyClass", obj) - to get it write: getIntent().getSerializableExtra("MyClass"); Sep 26 14:00:41 what is the sercond parameter for the putExtra ? Sep 26 14:00:54 the value Sep 26 14:01:12 value ? Sep 26 14:01:30 "MyClass" is the key obj is the value if you want to get obj you can get it with the key "MyClass" Sep 26 14:01:45 Zylinx: youre aware of the key-value concept? Sep 26 14:02:23 I'm coding my first app from the developer.android.com page, and i got my Send button not working; my button has android:onClick="sendMessage" and the corresponding activity class has the public void sendMessage(View view) method.. which doesn't get invoked when i click the button :( Sep 26 14:03:03 i am not apparantly :/ Sep 26 14:03:46 but besides that... obj should be what type ? Sep 26 14:04:04 the object type of whatevery you are saving Sep 26 14:04:36 so like this? Sep 26 14:04:38 Zylinx: a key-value store is a data structure where you store certain elements of data under a certain key... most of the times those keys are human readable strings (like "MyClass" in your example) but in fact a key could be of any type... Sep 26 14:04:40 Activity obj; Sep 26 14:04:41 intent.putExtra("MyClass", obj); Sep 26 14:04:53 Voi: have you made a method called sendMessage? Sep 26 14:05:09 troloyolo: as i mentioned, yes Sep 26 14:05:32 oh ok, thanks ohcibi. Sep 26 14:05:39 makes sence Sep 26 14:05:55 whats the R in setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); ? Sep 26 14:06:25 sorry i for disconnected Sep 26 14:06:26 i think nothing in my MainActivity.java get invoked Sep 26 14:06:28 got* Sep 26 14:07:44 What is the best way to check on boot if a "Preference" is set and if yes then starting an AlarmManager? Creating a service which starts on boot, checks the pref and if yes start a receiver? Sep 26 14:08:52 Hi all, is it possible to implement something for getting the error when the app crashes? like on which java file/line , which kind of error etc ? Sep 26 14:09:08 FrancescoV: locally, or in the field? Sep 26 14:09:12 misterli, you mean create an on-boot receiver that starts a service Sep 26 14:09:18 try { } catch (e.printstacktrace(); } Sep 26 14:09:33 Yes. With a specific delay Sep 26 14:09:39 But only if the user want it (Autostart) Sep 26 14:09:41 FrancescoV, acra, crittercisms, zubhium, testflight, etc. Sep 26 14:09:55 crashlytics Sep 26 14:10:17 troloyolo, putExtra isnt working for me it says it must be putExtra(String, Boolean) Sep 26 14:10:25 pfn: The app is in the store but need to get the errors from the users Sep 26 14:10:45 FrancescoV, I already gave you like 6 different ways of how Sep 26 14:10:58 users can also choose to 'send report' Sep 26 14:11:00 and that would work Sep 26 14:11:04 Zylinx: is whatever you are trying to transfer a boolean variable? Sep 26 14:11:32 no Sep 26 14:11:34 wait what Sep 26 14:12:09 i want to have the Activity context of the Activity i just started Sep 26 14:12:20 the activity is a context Sep 26 14:12:30 getActivity(), this, Context Sep 26 14:12:55 mikedg, almost time to go home... yay! Sep 26 14:13:01 ... Sep 26 14:15:32 I start an activity, then do some AsyncTask stuff then i want to update element on the activity i just started... Sep 26 14:15:57 how do i parse the AsyncTask the context of the new Activity i just started Sep 26 14:16:05 in the constructor Sep 26 14:16:11 .... Sep 26 14:16:17 Zylinx: just ignore Sep 26 14:16:17 in onPostExecute you better make sure the context isn't null Sep 26 14:16:23 make a public static Activity activity; variable Sep 26 14:16:24 parse the asynctask the context? hrm Sep 26 14:16:26 and put your activity there Sep 26 14:16:30 then read it form the asynctask Sep 26 14:16:32 there's no guarantee the activity will still be available Sep 26 14:16:35 hey all, I have an android application built with android studio, and I have an eclipse plugin to build for blackberry 10 Sep 26 14:16:49 ha ha BB10 Sep 26 14:16:55 how do I combine these? can I export the project from android studio to open in eclipse or something? Sep 26 14:17:14 jpwhiting, find something to do it from the commandline Sep 26 14:17:20 jpwhiting: develop in Eclipse Sep 26 14:17:29 that's a brilliant solution... Sep 26 14:17:37 pfn: ok, blackberry also has command-line tools Sep 26 14:17:44 then you're done Sep 26 14:17:45 :p Sep 26 14:17:46 Zylinx: if the task is defined as inner class of the activity you have access to the object with ActivityClass.this Sep 26 14:17:50 use them Sep 26 14:17:52 I could develop in eclipse, but opening the project in eclipse gives tons of errors Sep 26 14:18:12 I'm very new to java, but have done C++ stuff for BB10 before Sep 26 14:18:13 I personally prefer eclipse, just my 2 cents Sep 26 14:18:13 btw.. has anyone here modified the eclipse.ini to high-ram boxes (16GB Ram+) with success and without lags? :) Sep 26 14:18:29 pfn: ok, I'll try that, thanks Sep 26 14:18:35 nseidm1, android studio has lots of cool stuff which is not available in eclipse.. :) Sep 26 14:18:35 misterli: there is no success with eclipse 8-)) Sep 26 14:18:52 android studio has lots of cool stuff? Sep 26 14:18:56 I would prefer android studio if it wouldnt use this crappy fuckass gradle Sep 26 14:19:08 ohcibi, it isnt an inner class. but my problem is i use intent to make a new Activity then from where i used intent how do i access the Activity i just started. im not sure if im making sence Sep 26 14:19:10 the android stuff has roughly feature parity with eclipse for android, doesn't it Sep 26 14:19:10 not impressed by android studio yet, I make apps just fine with eclipse Sep 26 14:19:22 * pfn just uses intellij Sep 26 14:19:30 i like android studios autocomplete better than eclipse Sep 26 14:19:31 intellij is not for free, isnt it? Sep 26 14:19:36 and the xml editor better then intellij Sep 26 14:19:36 vim FTW Sep 26 14:19:37 much better, I'm just twiddling my thumbs 'til monitor is ported to intellij Sep 26 14:19:44 intellij is free for android essentially Sep 26 14:19:51 misterli, intellij ce is free Sep 26 14:20:15 Leeds, I still use vim from time to time, but intellij makes naivgation much nicer Sep 26 14:20:22 i c. Well, android studio is great for exporting packages. Its cool to have an included keystore generator, and such stuff.. but sucks for integrating other librarys Sep 26 14:20:31 sorry disconnected ohcibi, did you say anything ? Sep 26 14:20:36 and hotkeys are not very well planed in android studio .. Sep 26 14:20:37 android studio works perfectly fine for integrating other libraries Sep 26 14:20:42 and hotkeys are very well planned Sep 26 14:20:45 you're just smoking crack Sep 26 14:20:53 and for that matter, hotkeys are completely configurable Sep 26 14:20:54
