Dec 12 03:00:37 wavesonics, it's needed on the web, but I have a feeling they're leaving it out purposely Dec 12 03:01:13 Eeeeeee, but it's NOT left out, it's implemented, it's just BROKEN! Dec 12 03:01:21 ohhhhh Dec 12 03:01:22 my bad Dec 12 03:01:38 izolate, i'll pay you thru paypal if you show me how to use it.

Dec 12 03:03:29 android studio is too new. but a lot of the dummies books give you information on eclipse, which is similarish Dec 12 03:03:43 and like i said. play around. explore. best way to learn :) Dec 12 03:03:43 if it is new then i uninstall it Dec 12 03:03:48 how about eclipse? Dec 12 03:03:53 should there be book on eclipse? Dec 12 03:04:02 should be Dec 12 03:04:04 hundreds Dec 12 03:04:13 ok thanks Dec 12 03:04:17 i'll uninstall Dec 12 03:04:26 and google up for a good eclipse book Dec 12 03:04:26 My app used a thirdpart web API. I was thinking about extending custom POST and GET methods with Async task and making them private. Then making the actual API functions public and use post get methods, Is this a good idea? http://pastebin.com/4nRWuC71 Dec 12 03:04:34 btw, i've seeen so many eclipse version Dec 12 03:04:45 not sure what version to use Dec 12 03:04:55 Phong_: have you even been to d.android.com ? Dec 12 03:05:03 nope Dec 12 03:05:04 as someone who started android dev right when studio came out, and has been using eclipse to because of converting projects... I would really stick with android studio, just learn the nuances of gradle Dec 12 03:05:12 Phong_: go there, check it out, then come back if you have questions Dec 12 03:05:13 LOOL Dec 12 03:05:59 bankai_, yeah, i see it has android studio Dec 12 03:06:08 dont piss android studio off. I did a git init the root directory and it got all pissed off at me Dec 12 03:06:31 that's coz you used git.... Dec 12 03:06:49 git is amazing Dec 12 03:07:17 yes, but stupidly complex Dec 12 03:07:29 how much experience do you have with it? Dec 12 03:07:34 only once you need it to be though Dec 12 03:07:37 unlike svn Dec 12 03:07:39 i'm an svn lova ;) Dec 12 03:07:44 ewwww Dec 12 03:07:45 which is stupid complex upfront Dec 12 03:07:50 bankai_, look so much too choose: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Dec 12 03:07:54 i used to think svn was superior once Dec 12 03:07:57 not sure what to download and install Dec 12 03:07:58 git has a learning curve, but once it clicks... git is god Dec 12 03:08:18 sooo much stuff that you can't do, or have to write stupid scripts to do Dec 12 03:08:26 not much of a learning curve Dec 12 03:08:36 gitflow ftw Dec 12 03:08:36 something like... i dont remember, getting the log of all the commits a file was changed in Dec 12 03:08:51 sourcetree ftw Dec 12 03:09:09 that might not be the exact case, but something that you would expect to do a -lot- is simply just not implemented by svn unless you do some weird scripty stuff Dec 12 03:09:15 you're just using it wrong Dec 12 03:10:43 bankai_, are you going to help me out or not? Dec 12 03:10:49 no Dec 12 03:10:50 i can't help you read, no Dec 12 03:11:17 pm the dollar amount and i' Dec 12 03:11:30 ll read the dev docs with a shakespearean twist Dec 12 03:11:55 someone need to write a book on step by step of doing things man Dec 12 03:12:01 the basic stuffs Dec 12 03:12:04 :( Dec 12 03:12:07 i'll google up books Dec 12 03:12:08 brb Dec 12 03:12:16 theres plenty free ebooks Dec 12 03:12:17 i do git push --force, sir, but i do not git push --force at you, sir Dec 12 03:12:34 there's plenty of free webpages on the d.android.com, which you have still failed to read Dec 12 03:13:40 bankai_, i did, and it ask me to do this: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html Dec 12 03:13:43 you just want someone to hold your hand, we can all see it, and that's okay when learning something like riding a bike Dec 12 03:13:46 back to install android studio Dec 12 03:14:03 just use eclipse and save yourself the pain of gradle Dec 12 03:14:21 since you're obviously not going to find these magical books that don't exist on it, eclipse is covered by everyone everywhere Dec 12 03:14:28 shit sucks. anybody know of any changes to the Nexus5 camera API? Can't seem to programmatically turn on the LED. Dec 12 03:14:36 bankai_, cutting of your nose to spite your face Dec 12 03:14:59 gradle's not so bad Dec 12 03:15:07 and for learning, you can ignore it in eclipse Dec 12 03:15:07 bankai_, dude man, i saw a bunch of different version of eclipse...who on earth would knnow which one is the correct one. Dec 12 03:15:08 it's not Dec 12 03:15:09 *AS Dec 12 03:15:10 there is no magic 3 step to learn everything Dec 12 03:15:13 alex_PP: have you read teh whole discourse? Dec 12 03:15:19 half Dec 12 03:15:30 and once you make the jump, going back to eclipse is like grinding face with sandpaper Dec 12 03:16:01 the jist is he doesn't know where everything is in AS? Dec 12 03:16:21 gonna be even hard in eclipse Dec 12 03:17:36 s/hard/harder Dec 12 03:17:36 well offically my across realities live wallpaper is a failure Dec 12 03:17:37 use this Phong_: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html Dec 12 03:17:45 its way resource heavy for mere wallpaper lol Dec 12 03:17:57 but it was useful anyway, I learned a lot Dec 12 03:18:31 Phong_ you've been having false starts with android for a few years now .... Dec 12 03:18:33 also that bullshit R bug I keep running into (yes only using eclipse for converting projects) makes eclipse seem way more buggy than AS Dec 12 03:18:45 i would get a gentle introduction ;) Dec 12 03:18:51 Eeeeeee: the r is missing bug? Dec 12 03:19:02 g00s: so, one with lube? Dec 12 03:19:06 g00s, nice one on me man Dec 12 03:19:54 Yes, and another one that I ran into today that seemed similar Dec 12 03:20:03 eee from what I see Dec 12 03:20:11 izolate, thanks, i'm doing the step 1: download the android SDK, brb..once finished let you know Dec 12 03:20:16 r thing happens if it cleans project and cant build due to bug or other Dec 12 03:20:26 fix bugs then try agaibn Dec 12 03:20:52 aapt errors are always so informative Dec 12 03:20:56 :s Dec 12 03:21:29 it adds android.R randomly, even when I don't import sources Dec 12 03:21:45 oh that type, dunno Dec 12 03:21:46 izolate, g00s , i think i'm going to ask the company i work for, they have 10 classes package, probably ask 1 to take android dev class from Learning Tree Dec 12 03:22:16 you're not coding for them I hope? Dec 12 03:22:34 Eeeeeee, chatting to me? Dec 12 03:22:40 yes Dec 12 03:22:46 not for them Dec 12 03:22:55 just learning thing..since they have so many classes left and will expired Dec 12 03:23:07 I have published a game in googleplay, does anybody know why the 80% of the downloads are from my country? Dec 12 03:23:10 wohoo for training credits! Dec 12 03:23:40 i dont know about asp.net stuff...they let me take 3 classes in total to learn it.....this is use for work :) Dec 12 03:23:49 and i'm familar with visual studio now :) Dec 12 03:24:36 does google play decide to promote my app in my country? Dec 12 03:24:41 Eeeeeee, do you ever heard of Learning Tree? Dec 12 03:24:43 julito30: you're not confusing "Language" and "Country" are you ? Dec 12 03:25:02 is my app in disadvantage against other apps in other countries? Dec 12 03:25:13 bankai_, ever heard of Learning Tree? Dec 12 03:25:19 no Dec 12 03:25:41 bankai_, https://www.learningtree.com/ Dec 12 03:26:18 phong you ever think about exiting IRC to help you learn quicker? Dec 12 03:26:25 oh that website is awful :S Dec 12 03:26:59 sometimes losing the net makes me program more Dec 12 03:27:06 same Dec 12 03:28:01 except when I lost it completely the other day and gradle wouldn't compile, and had no way to troubleshoot Dec 12 03:28:28 Eeeeeee, so you want me to quit IRC now? Dec 12 03:29:10 ok before i quit IRC, please at least suggest 1 easy book about android dev Dec 12 03:29:51 if learning android is what you're trying to attempt at this moment, yeah, f11 android docs and keep going until it hurts Dec 12 03:30:44 commonsware book Dec 12 03:31:07 The Busy Coder's Guide, but start with android docs Dec 12 03:32:47 ok thanks man Dec 12 03:34:54 Hey guys, quick question what is the difference between URLConnection and HTTPConnection? Dec 12 03:36:27 heh, phong comes in every year since 2010 and asks for a book on android - Dec 12 03:36:38 doesn't matter what you say, he doesn't read it Dec 12 03:37:02 lol Dec 12 03:37:04 serious? Dec 12 03:37:07 maybe he gets motivated for the xmas break Dec 12 03:37:10 thought you were joking Dec 12 03:37:16 because i've seen him last week or so Dec 12 03:37:28 ROFL Dec 12 03:37:45 Does anyone know of a good example of HTTPConnection? I can't seem to find one Dec 12 03:37:46 he'll be back around this time in 2014 for sure Dec 12 03:40:10 what's the depth of your understand dragonya Dec 12 03:40:15 understanding Dec 12 03:40:31 3+ years of programming, 3+ months into android Dec 12 03:40:34 How do you redraw a view after you have changed something, specifically the options menu. I have tried the invalidate and the enable disable and neither work. Dec 12 03:41:45 invalidateOoptionsMenu() ? Dec 12 03:41:46 are you asking specific to android, or just in general Dec 12 03:42:03 just in general what the difference between the two are Dec 12 03:43:08 I tryed the invalidate options menu and nothing happens :( Dec 12 03:43:46 w9jds_, what are you trying to do exactly? Dec 12 03:44:31 http is a protocol for transfering text, url is for identifying a resources location Dec 12 03:44:37 alex_pp I changed a title on a menuitem and I doesn't change so I want to redraw/refresh the view. Dec 12 03:45:41 identifying resource location? Dec 12 03:46:19 Uniform resource locator Dec 12 03:46:30 Need help in designing this web API class. I was thinking of making the lower level classes private then using them from public methods within the class http://pastebin.com/p76PkdZk Dec 12 03:46:56 I think i get the gist of it, but could you elaborate on what that entails? Dec 12 03:47:07 Basically trying to keep POST and GET from being used outside of the API Dec 12 03:47:44 what kind of programming did you do Dec 12 03:47:48 w9jds_, did you override onConfigureOptionsMenu, that should be called after invalidateOptionsMenu Dec 12 03:48:02 php, js, java, c# and now android Dec 12 03:48:32 alex_PP no actually I don't i'll try that now thanks :) Dec 12 03:48:47 Anyone? Dec 12 03:49:35 sirpatrick, you haven't asked a question yet Dec 12 03:49:47 if you learned php, you should have a firm understanding of http.. Dec 12 03:50:09 I asked on help on designing a class Dec 12 03:50:11 twice Dec 12 03:50:40 Or I guess that isn't a valid question? Dec 12 03:51:20 url is pretty straightforward.. Google it Dec 12 03:52:21 ah thanks dude Dec 12 03:53:10 np Dec 12 03:53:46 alex_PP: Do I need to stay away from implementation questions? Dec 12 03:54:21 no, you're free to ask what you like Dec 12 03:54:40 just, can you be more specific? Dec 12 03:54:56 Yes! I will try to make it easier to understand. Apoligies Dec 12 03:55:00 for an API call like that, i'd split it up into more classes Dec 12 03:55:27 Okay, can you give me a rough idea of how you would split it up? Dec 12 03:56:32 a request, a response, something that can turn requests and responses from streams to java objects or vice versa, somthing that know's how to fo http, and somthing that know's all about backgrounding the operations Dec 12 03:56:53 Ah okay Dec 12 03:56:54 *and vice versa Dec 12 03:57:15 I appreciate the advice. I will get started on that Dec 12 03:58:04 url may get more complicated depending on what ivy league school you're attending, but I've never needed to know more than simple description. and i could probably pass those networking certs Dec 12 04:00:57 ugh in stack traces, is it possible to find out what those '... 5 more' are? Dec 12 04:02:14 AS? Dec 12 04:02:44 eclipse atm Dec 12 04:03:02 i dont think it matters, because its comonig out of logcat anyway Dec 12 04:03:48 options Dec 12 04:08:55 i don't think the ones that get cut off are relevant Dec 12 04:14:12 they were thrown earlier in the stack and its trimming the duplicates Dec 12 04:27:22 Anyone in here play chess? Dec 12 04:29:17 not me Dec 12 04:29:36 hm can I run app with 2 timers, one to do draw stuff and other to keep bitmap updated? Dec 12 04:35:20 XXCoder1, why bother? surely you only need to draw once the bitmap is updated? Dec 12 04:35:41 but, yes, there's no reason you can't seperate them Dec 12 04:35:44 well I want to seperate wallpaper drawing and bitmap processing Dec 12 04:42:27 Diving into OpenGL ES via JNI Dec 12 04:42:30 egad Dec 12 04:42:52 surely there are better ways to nail a scrotum to a brick Dec 12 04:43:01 nail and hammer Dec 12 04:43:21 The san angeles demo is cool Dec 12 04:45:00 hi Dec 12 04:46:03 Greetings, folks! Couldn't anyone suggest me what layout directory postfix should I use to support, i.e. 240x400 and 480x800 while they're the same screen but with different density. I know I could use hdp postfix, but it's in absolute pixels, so I'm not so interesting in it since I would have two same layouts. Dec 12 04:46:47 Or please correct me if I wrong. Dec 12 04:53:37 here's a really newb question, but knowing barely how java functions I hope it warrants an answer. I've also Googled it different ways, but it probably wouldn't be asked by anyone that learned java properly... What/why are the null values inserted when using cursor? Cursor c = qb.query(db, sqlSelect, null, null, Dec 12 04:53:37 null, null, null); Dec 12 04:55:03 would be happy with just a better phrase/concept to Google if it's complicated Dec 12 04:56:41 Eeeeeee: providing nulls in this method is to let query builder know that those query parts are not used in this particular query Dec 12 04:57:15 ahhh thank you!!! Dec 12 04:58:02 Eeeeeee: for info what those parameters are you can use Java docs or google for this class declaration on developer.android.com Dec 12 04:58:48 looked throughout the docs, didn't find anything specifically addressing the null aspect Dec 12 04:59:07 will definitely check out java docs though Dec 12 05:00:45 Eeeeeee: they would never say you how it behave receiving null parameter provided Dec 12 05:01:42 Eeeeeee: you can find its behavior only through own testing of looking for some examples of this method implementation and use Dec 12 05:02:00 figured it might be something like that Dec 12 05:02:12 one more question, based on your own testing ;) Dec 12 05:02:34 does the amount of nulls vary based on query/database, or similar? Dec 12 05:03:40 nm i think I found something Dec 12 05:06:37 Cursor query(SQLiteDatabase db, String[] projectionIn, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String groupBy, String having, String sortOrder, String limit, CancellationSignal cancellationSignal) .... number of null values is based on the how many of these parameters you're going to be using in the future query? Dec 12 05:08:22 Eeeeeee: the number of nulls doesn't matter at all, just provide null or empty string instead of parameters which you don't want for exact query Dec 12 05:10:04 Thanks posplaw!!!!!! Dec 12 05:13:54 Google is definitely giving me the results I need using the term "query builder" Dec 12 05:13:56 you're the man Dec 12 06:06:09 Can someone show me a strightforward way of saving key-value data, when I try to do it my app crashes everyitme Dec 12 06:26:04 hiyo: use shared preferences? Dec 12 06:26:24 &maybe show some code&stack trace? Dec 12 06:26:40 canvs2321: that's what I wa s soing, I think I got it figured out but I have to see Dec 12 06:27:43 hiyo: what you're saying&what you're typing, seem to be different Dec 12 06:28:24 canvs2321: I think I fixed my error, but I haven't tried out getting the value yet Dec 12 06:29:03 well if writing was a success, reading should be the same? if not, there are default values set while reading to stop errors&figure out the why Dec 12 06:29:23 canvs2321: could you show me how to set a textview (called txtPoints) to a string of my choosing, it already exists in the layout without any text Dec 12 06:30:03 street view car was just outside my office Dec 12 06:30:04 awesome Dec 12 06:30:25 if you mean setting the text then, txtPoints.setText("myText"); or txtPoints.setText(myStringBasedUponTheReturnOfMyPreviouslySuccessfulWritingOfPreferences); Dec 12 06:30:46 alex_PP: did you have your dong ready? Dec 12 06:31:05 sadly not Dec 12 06:31:10 :( Dec 12 06:31:11 they'd only blur it anyway Dec 12 06:31:30 i coulda depixalated it Dec 12 06:31:53 pixel for the US Dec 12 06:31:58 canvs2321: I mean that the txtPoints is the @id set in the layout Dec 12 06:32:30 if your id is txtPoints, maybe make it textview_points Dec 12 06:33:10 & TextView txtViewPoints = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview_points); ? Dec 12 06:36:49 with a little tweaking wit worked Dec 12 06:36:58 now for the moment of truth Dec 12 06:37:38 it's easier to lie Dec 12 06:38:26 success!

Dec 12 06:43:58 I just need it back to black Dec 12 06:44:10 like I set them to gray in the layout so it looks "disabled" Dec 12 06:45:58 then txtViewPoints.setColor("@color/black"); or similiar?

Dec 12 07:01:15 cans2321: there's not a way to play it through just the android API? Dec 12 07:01:35 how do I convert hex colors into integers Dec 12 07:02:37 hiyo, in what context? Dec 12 07:02:45 they have an example in the support apps Dec 12 07:02:53 if you're just writing them into java source just do 0xFF0000 Dec 12 07:03:30 if it's a string in your app try Integer.parseInt("FF0000", 16) Dec 12 07:04:02 hiyo: google is your best asset. All your questions have been answered before. IRC can take time, but google is instant gratification Dec 12 07:04:33 okay, yeah it's just sometimes I get confusing converters like this one Dec 12 07:04:42 http://www.shodor.org/stella2java/rgbint.html Dec 12 07:07:15 alex_pp: was that the int color for white because it isn't showing u[ Dec 12 07:08:10 0xFFFFFFFF has no alpha with a full on White Dec 12 07:08:37 oh wait, I found a stackOverflow on it Dec 12 07:10:15 don't forget to use good root words along with google queries.. maybe my results are personalized but the top 8 results were SO, and first result had alex_pp's answer Dec 12 07:11:22 I think it's just that I can't type good english anymore because I'm just so sleep deprived Dec 12 07:11:35 but tonight is the last night of the project and it's due tomorrow Dec 12 07:11:39 and I'm almost done :) Dec 12 07:12:00 IT WORKS!

Dec 12 08:05:54 Uhh what da hell boss Dec 12 08:06:10 Facebook says my key hash isnt in the facebook app settings Dec 12 08:06:12 but it sure is Dec 12 08:06:28 the answer to the problem is in poor English so I don't know if I'm doing it correctly: Dec 12 08:06:52 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19485004/android-app-key-hash-doesnt-match-any-stored-key-hashes Dec 12 08:15:00 Hi, does anyone know how to get the absolute file path of a uri when using GET_CONTENT with KitKat's new "storage access framework"? Dec 12 08:16:55 When querying the MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA column using the content provider, it now always seem to return null, so is there an easy alternative? Dec 12 08:26:13 hey, I have a synchronization problem with an even handler: http://pastebin.com/EFsqqzsv Dec 12 08:27:35 as can be seen the handler method is synchronized and made in a simple way to use a delay of ~1 sec before handling the sliding window again. But if you look at the output below, the code is run twice before updated :S why, and how do I fix this? Dec 12 08:28:28 afaik this shouldn't even be possible if the method is synchronized Dec 12 08:29:10 Hey, how do i get the "three dot"-menu, or it's identifier, in the actionbar (support actionbar) so i can change the drawable in it? I cannot seem to find it anywhere on Google, i'm probably looking for the wrong thing... Dec 12 08:36:38 if you want an app, and you want it on both android and iOS, what is the best place to start? just using the native api's for each app? Dec 12 08:43:09 i want to add swipable tabs to my app, all tutorials and the docs mention the class FragmentActivity, but it's not available (sdk r19) Dec 12 08:49:13 mrhanky: You should probably use the support library - http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/index.html Dec 12 08:54:47 hello everybody Dec 12 09:32:20 hey, i have created a list of all apps installed on my phone and i am able to start this apps - but of course not all, because many are android intern apps - is there any way to check, if a app is runnable by user to filter the system apps? Dec 12 09:33:07 Dreyfax: technically you should list all intents matching the LAUNCH stuff Dec 12 09:35:02 p_l: it's not clear to me, what do you mean? :D Dec 12 09:38:03 Dreyfax: find all intents that allow launching of an application (essentially everything that is CATEGORY_LAUNCHER and ACTION_MAIN) Dec 12 09:40:47 p_l: thanks, i will try this Dec 12 10:03:24 Hi all. A good reason not to upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62378 (and https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62293) Dec 12 10:03:28 please star the issue if you want more attention on it Dec 12 10:05:03 I have a fragment which i want to re-use in multiple layouts. I have defined its attributes in styles.xml, including android:name="namespace.fragment" . However, when i set the android:name like this, instead of directly in the layout, im getting "InstantiationException: Unable to instantiate fragment " - Are you not supposed to set android:name in styles.xml? Dec 12 10:07:58 When i set it in layout, i have no errors Dec 12 10:13:15 maven + android + eclipse :s is that a thing? Dec 12 10:33:45 am I mad or do margins not work properly on 2.3? Dec 12 10:34:41 at least on the root layout.. Dec 12 10:36:19 hey guys, i stock at one stupid thing,,, just tired probably.. I have a child class off a view and i need it to inflate the layout. So i use inflater.inflate(R.layout.mLayout, null, false); But how do I set returning object to this view? Dec 12 10:42:49 ok, nevermind, found it -)) It was inflate method of the view, not of LayoutInflater Dec 12 10:51:49 suppose i wish to have a widget, say an imageview, and i would like the user to be able to drag it around the screen, and have another widget detect it was dropped onto itself, how could i achieve this? Dec 12 10:53:59 listen for drags in onTouch / GestureDetector, move view around with setTranslation, check if view bounds are within other view bounds when finger is lifted Dec 12 11:04:11 Hello. I have developed an Android NDK app. However my APK is excessively large 600mb+. The libs im linking with are only 10mb. Using gnustl_shared. Unzipping apk i see that a folder called toolchain is included. It is generated by the build script and placed in the jni folder. This folder is very large. Do i need it? How can I exclude it? Using eclipse adt Dec 12 11:04:28 Hello does it worth to use volley over retrofit ? Dec 12 11:04:48 eckesicle, eh wat Dec 12 11:04:57 why do you have a toolchain folder in your jni folder? :) Dec 12 11:05:09 that probably shouldn't be there :) Dec 12 11:05:13 First time ndk :) Dec 12 11:05:19 Thats what i thought Dec 12 11:05:26 eckesicle, actually nothing in jni folder should get included at all Dec 12 11:05:37 So there's something fishy with that build script then Dec 12 11:05:40 eckesicle, NDK built libs are put into libs/ folder Dec 12 11:05:54 and that folder is directly included into the APK Dec 12 11:06:05 (which means you can put there other libs that aren't built by NDK necessarily) Dec 12 11:06:25 libs/arch and not jni/libs/arch, correct? Dec 12 11:07:38 Why is my jni folder included in apk though? Dec 12 11:07:39 libs/arch Dec 12 11:07:45 no idea, it shouldn't be Dec 12 11:07:49 check your apk build system :) Dec 12 11:07:49 Ok Dec 12 11:08:08 JNI is just a default source directory ndk-build looks for when building a lib Dec 12 11:08:08 nothing more Dec 12 11:08:22 Yeah the person inherited this from does not seem too bright .. Dec 12 11:08:36 And im new to eclipse and android Dec 12 11:09:05 * Mavrik shivers at mention of Eclipse. Dec 12 11:09:06 Thanks for your help Dec 12 11:09:07 ;) Dec 12 11:09:14 I hate it Dec 12 11:09:22 eckesicle, are you building with ant I guess? Dec 12 11:09:37 Yes Dec 12 11:09:37 I suggest you check Eclipse project settings... maybe you have JNI set as an include folder or something Dec 12 11:09:43 or same for your build.xml Dec 12 11:09:54 it's been awhile since I used either tho, can't really help you more than that :/ Dec 12 11:09:55 Yes I recall seeing it therr Dec 12 11:09:55 Yeah its there Dec 12 11:10:26 Removed everything. Clean and recompile. Will take a couple of minutes Dec 12 11:23:46 Hey, how do i get the "three dot"-menu, or it's identifier, in the actionbar (support actionbar) so i can change (apply color filter) the drawable in it? I cannot seem to find it anywhere on Google (i'm probably looking for the wrong thing)... Dec 12 11:24:07 hello peeps, I am reading this https://developers.facebook.com/docs/getting-started/facebook-sdk-for-android-using-android-studio/3.0/ Dec 12 11:24:23 I wonder what's the difference between libs and libraries Dec 12 11:24:38 I have a folder called libs now containing some jars Dec 12 11:27:14 Is there a way to add a footer to a ListView in XML? I want to have a button in the Listview in portrait and have it beside the listview in landscape. Dec 12 11:27:25 tagrudev: isn't libs, for jar files, while libraries is actual libraries that you have the code? Dec 12 11:27:49 why would I want separate folder for each ? Dec 12 11:27:51 oiZo, Dec 12 11:31:17 Well, it's just guess work on my part. So i'm not actually sure Dec 12 11:43:31 anyone ? difference between libraries in main project folder and libs in project folder Dec 12 11:47:59 how to handle displaying ui components on smaller screens? I'm half tempted to wrap everything in a scroll view... Dec 12 11:48:01 tagrudev: i would say as oiZo, one for external libraries and for your libraries - intellij idea is there explicit, folder libs in module and a folder external libraries for complete projects Dec 12 11:48:29 senseless Dec 12 11:48:53 why? Dec 12 11:49:46 2 folders for libs Dec 12 11:52:17 maybe this gives you the information, you want Dec 12 11:52:17 http://tools.android.com/recent/dealingwithdependenciesinandroidprojects Dec 12 11:52:28 Hello does it worth to use volley over retrofit ? Dec 12 11:53:15 is there any linux runtime for android apps? Dec 12 11:53:21 Dreyfax, doesn't mention the libraries folder Dec 12 11:53:27 Excuse me.. I have a question about the difference between android.media.MediaRouter and android.support.v7.media.MediaRouter. May anyone explain their difference? Which case do I need to use android.media.MediaRouter in? And when should I use android.support.v7.media.MediaRouter? Dec 12 12:00:19 Hey guys and gals, the form at https://services.google.com/fb/forms/gcm/ yields a 500. I've been trying to reach google gcm developers for days over different mailing list or even personal email addresses, have reported a documentation bug for it, but, of course, to no avail. Any suggestions? :) Dec 12 12:04:24 Have anyone experienced any resource issues on a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini? I'm setting background colors on the actinobar, but for some reason it turns grey on screenRotation (i have a resource which is that grey, but i'm not setting that color) Dec 12 12:40:09 Hi all, is it possible to detect if a string can't be displayed in a textview? String is too long --> "test abc def ghi" change this to "test abc ..." Dec 12 12:41:16 ellipsize=true Dec 12 12:42:03 storkme: tnx! Dec 12 12:43:44 storkme: can you also do this "Test abc (de...)" --> ")" alsways at the end Dec 12 12:47:14 i need a simple app and i need it on android and iOS, should i use the native sttuff or is the phone gap or flex stuff worth giving a shot? Dec 12 12:47:40 or can I do a string replace? "x..." --> "...)" , I don't know what char the x is, is this possible? Dec 12 12:50:20 Technodrome: you could give me the idea Dec 12 12:50:25 and i'll let you have it Dec 12 12:50:35 ...for $5 Dec 12 12:51:13 DarkSlay3r: seriously though, what would you do?
