**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Dec 22 03:00:00 2013 Dec 22 03:14:27 hello Dec 22 03:14:50 im trying to develop a video streaming app Dec 22 03:16:31 and am trying to figure out how i can setup a video server to communicate with a client android app Dec 22 03:16:53 can anyone help me? Dec 22 03:30:05 Is enabling hardware acceleration for >4.0 for a listview a bad idea? Dec 22 03:37:47 It's enabled by default if your targetSdk is >= 14 Dec 22 03:39:17 ahh thanks Dec 22 03:39:43 I have to close the softkeyboard in code at some points, but the closing of the keyboard seems to have a lag, anyone else have this issue? Dec 22 03:45:12 hi guys, how can i like communicate between an android client app and like a remote server? Dec 22 03:59:50 gota remember to remove explectivies in logging before commiting :p Dec 22 04:00:49 ....... expletives make for... interesting comments Dec 22 04:02:39 gah.... how do i communicate between client and server? Dec 22 04:07:35 anyone know how to check the local time for the Google server? Dec 22 04:26:46 why would you Dec 22 04:28:16 You uploaded an APK signed with a certificate that is not yet valid. You need to sign your APK with a certificate that is currently valid. Dec 22 04:28:47 your clock is wrong then Dec 22 04:28:59 I just created this keystore and signed the apk certificate and i'm betting i'm on a earlier time zone Dec 22 04:29:11 timezone is irrelevant Dec 22 04:29:26 anything important is always stored in utc time Dec 22 04:30:03 do i need to sync my time on my pc then? Dec 22 04:31:19 your pc's clock and/or timezone are wrong Dec 22 04:32:49 let me try this again and make a new keystore Dec 22 04:36:36 same error Dec 22 04:37:16 what's your pc's time and timezone Dec 22 04:37:48 11:37 EST Dec 22 04:38:19 keytool -list -verbose Dec 22 04:40:44 on a windows mahcine Dec 22 04:40:49 machine Dec 22 04:41:15 keytool is part of jdk Dec 22 04:41:30 right Dec 22 04:42:04 then being on Windows is irrelevant Dec 22 04:42:32 ok then how do you use the keytool cmd in windows? Dec 22 04:43:19 by running the command, same as any other os Dec 22 04:45:21 you can't run it in cmd not a recognized internat or external command Dec 22 04:45:28 how did you even generate your key... Dec 22 04:45:46 throgh eclipse Dec 22 04:46:12 Google "how do I run keytool" Dec 22 05:31:45 Is there a simple way to take the primary key from Media.Images.External content and start an intent to view the image? Dec 22 05:32:07 How do i setup like a media server and have it communicate with an android client app? Dec 22 05:32:23 Im a bit lost.... Dec 22 05:40:35 jo_shmo55: thats outside the scope of this channel maybe.. Dec 22 05:50:32 Can you quit a job you volunteered for ? :P Dec 22 05:52:23 you can quit any job Dec 22 05:52:32 but its kind of a dick move you know Dec 22 05:52:40 2wk notice so they arent scrambling to get another guy Dec 22 05:53:31 Oh, I gave notice !

Dec 22 06:03:02 I bet you your family has given the dog the best life it could ever ask for Dec 22 06:03:08 black lab Dec 22 06:03:10 he/she Dec 22 06:03:13 i'm jealous Dec 22 06:03:21 I had a border coli/husky mix Dec 22 06:03:33 was a boy Dec 22 06:03:40 nice Dec 22 06:03:42 aw shit, i have a 12 yo blind chocolate lab, the purest thing on this side of heaven Dec 22 06:03:51 they are great dogs Dec 22 06:03:59 smart ones Dec 22 06:04:00 too Dec 22 06:04:09 at getting unattended food, yeah ;) Dec 22 06:04:16 my dog was 12 going on 13 :( Dec 22 06:04:19 http://gyazo.com/5458bbaea771ab1216e1e77b5ddd4a16 Dec 22 06:04:28 When sending an intent to play some audio, how can I force it to open the media player instead of just a dialog that shows a play/stop button? Dec 22 06:05:17 desmin88 beautiful dog; if you dont mind me asking, what happened ? Dec 22 06:05:46 g00s: had a cancerous tumor on his stomach Dec 22 06:06:03 therefore he wouldnt eat, so he went from like 90 to 56pds in a week Dec 22 06:06:36 a bunch of idiots had my dog for the first year; they let him eat all kinds of shit like home construction materials Dec 22 06:06:38 was a huge dog and kinda sucked to see him reduced to skin n bones Dec 22 06:06:53 :'( Dec 22 06:07:13 how long did you have him for ? Dec 22 06:07:18 13 yrs Dec 22 06:07:19 well Dec 22 06:07:22 12 Dec 22 06:08:01 so he was a longtime companion Dec 22 06:08:17 what? Dec 22 06:08:33 Jake is still healthy; i used to take him everywhere (hikes) but being blind its really tough to get him up and down stuff Dec 22 06:08:37 eating construction materials >.< Dec 22 06:08:40 i remember being 4 driving 3 states across to get him from a breeder Dec 22 06:09:11 (16 now) Dec 22 06:10:22 hey have you guys heard about the talking dog thingy? http://gizmodo.com/your-dog-could-talk-back-with-this-mind-reading-headset-1485665261 Dec 22 06:10:34 maybe not that far, at 4 years old any where farther than a couple miles is pretty far, haha Dec 22 06:11:46 jo_shmo55 no i didn't see that one before; at NAU here they are doing research with machine learning and prarie dogs; i guess they have a very sophisticated vocabulary and social structure Dec 22 06:12:02 to deconstruct their language Dec 22 06:12:24 g00s: yeah- its kinda amazing, and crazy stuff.... Dec 22 06:12:48 http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/06/animal-behaviorist-well-soon-have-devices-that-let-us-talk-with-our-pets/276532/ Dec 22 06:13:23 i am a bit skeptical; basically what they are doing is recording nuances in their vocalizations and correlating them with context Dec 22 06:13:32 Whenever i think of talking animals, for some reason im reminded of Garfield. Dec 22 06:14:58 g00s: yeah. its not really clear how accurate the semantics translate over from dog talk to human speech. Dec 22 06:22:10 argh why is the virtual keyboard such a pos to deal with Dec 22 06:33:22 Anyone know how to exactly control the visibility of the keyboard? Dec 22 06:37:43 Far as I know, the closest you can get to controlling the keyboard is performing dark rituals and hoping it responds Dec 22 06:38:07 seriousily Dec 22 06:38:20 i can get it to work 98% of the time properly Dec 22 06:45:48 Squirrel ! :) Dec 22 07:54:39 virtual keyboard api sucks. Dec 22 07:57:36 java <3 Dec 22 08:05:20 ahh finally figured out how to wrangle the imm Dec 22 08:06:06 in my case anyways (have to use adjustPan on activity otherwise there is animation lag in toggling its visibility) i had to call getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN / ALWAYS_SHOWN); before calling the toggle methods Dec 22 08:14:48 capella you like java ? O.o Dec 22 08:14:59 man some of the people who make orms are so obsessed with 'simplicity' that there is no functionality Dec 22 08:15:23 i've never used one on android Dec 22 08:17:40 g00s? I'm surprised by your surprise ! Dec 22 08:18:35 It's why I went to the mobile side Dec 22 08:39:15 hi, just installed the android studio, but its not running Dec 22 08:39:20 please help Dec 22 08:40:45 lol.. Dec 22 08:40:55 this channel at night is just the best Dec 22 08:43:05 arunkumar413 You'd need to describe your problem in a little more detail :) Dec 22 08:43:58 no Dec 22 08:44:18 he expects us to use telepathy to know why it doesn't work, and then use remote desktop to fix it for him Dec 22 08:44:41 hahah! I had one guy corner me for an xml layout Dec 22 08:45:08 bitgod! I remember his nick... He still owes me tree-fiddy Dec 22 09:19:29 yay, post saving accomplished. Dec 22 09:19:46 finally found a good orm Dec 22 09:20:01 installed android studio, it asked me to define java path variable. but studio is not starting Dec 22 09:23:40 it says variable doesn't point to a valid JVM Dec 22 09:25:29 which orm? Dec 22 09:25:57 'Sugar' Dec 22 09:26:14 arunkumar413: then use the helpful error message to correct the solution, or google for an answer Dec 22 09:38:48 hi Dec 22 09:40:19 i'm trying to run the example uiautomator testcase with adb shell uiautomator runtest bar.jar -c com.foo.bar but I keep getting the class com.foo.bar is not found. Dec 22 09:40:22 could anyone please help? Dec 22 09:40:43 if i unarchive the jar, i can find the class com.foo.bar though Dec 22 10:03:24 Anyone know if the movie/music icons android 4.x are somewhere online? Dec 22 10:21:48 screenprint -> .png Dec 22 10:22:52 :p (worst case) Dec 22 10:23:35 guys, what's the proper way of updating db record from listview? i seem to shot myself in the foot. i can add records easitly, can show them but can not update. The confusing part is matching onClickItem position to record _id Dec 22 10:24:00 hi all.. Dec 22 10:25:04 hi all... is there any open source app for creating 'advices', 'memes' Dec 22 10:26:46 lets say I have a number of activities.. A, B, C, D.. and A happens to be the main activity. If the history/back stack happens to be A -> B -> C -> D and now in D I have a button called 'Home' that is supposed to lead back to A. I almost have it working properly. Dec 22 10:27:34 Clicking the Home button, I was simply doing startActivity(intentA); but I was able to press the back button to get back to activity D. Dec 22 10:28:10 captian use a cursor adapter Dec 22 10:28:11 so I changed the code in D to be startActivity(intentA); finish(); but now when i press back, I'm able to go back to C Dec 22 10:28:15 then the id will actually correspond Dec 22 10:28:46 any idea as to how when I get back to A, it is the top of the stack *and* the only item in the stack? Dec 22 10:29:40 start the activity with NEW_TASK|CLEAR_TOP Dec 22 10:31:31 lesserix, I use simplecursoradapter. I'm trying to update record via DialogFragment, which gets passed info from cursor. the problem is, I can't understand how to get _id in onActivityResult method which gets called once my dialogfragment delivers updated raw data Dec 22 10:32:25 the only ugly method i can think of is to pass _id to dialogfragment and get it back at onactivityresult, kind of a loop Dec 22 10:38:24 i'm trying to run ant build but i keep getting the error "didn't find package R". am i supposed to import R? it compiles fine in IntelliJ Dec 22 11:31:13 For a List-like Grid, I should use a GridView, right= Dec 22 11:37:53 autrilla, the horizontal one Dec 22 11:38:23 oh Dec 22 11:38:33 no i mean LinearLayout (Vertical) Dec 22 11:40:37 ItsMeLenny, Does Google Keep use a GridView? Dec 22 11:40:42 does anybody else virtual devices not run in the latest ADT Dec 22 11:40:58 not sure what Google Keep is Dec 22 11:43:48 when is it most active in here because i need help mega time Dec 22 11:48:33 hi! I'm trying to get into android development by editing an open source project and learning as I go. could you give me the buzzwords for a good way to implement the following so I'll find the right articles? when a new widget is created, it launches an activity that displays a number of items to select from. once one of these is clicked, it gets back the data and permanently configures itself to show that data; the configuration dialo Dec 22 11:48:33 g is never accessed again. currently, I've got the part up to displaying the list down, but I'm not sure how to handle the rest. is it a good idea to have the widget hand over its ID to the activity, set a sharedpreference once the user clicks the list, send an "update widgets" intent with the ID added, then refresh the newly added widget after reading the preference? Dec 22 11:49:08 this should work for an arbitrary number of widgets Dec 22 11:54:38 How could I convert a String that is a path to an image to R.drawable? Dec 22 11:57:42 Does anyone know if the mediastore video content provider columns such as artist / album actually (in general) contain any useful information? Dec 22 11:59:52 pikaro yeah Dec 22 11:59:59 it is vital you keep the id Dec 22 12:00:17 because the widget id list android keeps is a very messy warehouse Dec 22 12:00:23 Why could I get java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: addView(View, LayoutParams) is not supported in AdapterView on convertView = ((Activity) mContext).getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.card, parent);? Dec 22 12:00:57 you need parent arguement? Dec 22 12:03:51 lasserix, parent is the rootView on getView() method of BaseAdapter Dec 22 12:04:08 oops yeah sorry going a little blind this morning Dec 22 12:04:38 i meant Dec 22 12:04:39 convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_row_query_result, parent, false); Dec 22 12:04:45 you are missing that last bool arg Dec 22 12:05:21 also instance your layoutinflater don't do that casting and getting everytime you are inflating your row Dec 22 12:05:24 I don't think that's it, I've never given a boolean there Dec 22 12:05:30 instance = cache Dec 22 12:05:35 Oh, it is Dec 22 12:06:02 guys, another stupid question. Are db operations thread-safe if I have only 1 instance of SQLiteDatabase? Dec 22 12:06:12 right, the font used is not monospaced Dec 22 12:06:45 so when i try to print $ 10.00 and $ 8.00 within a list view, they don;t align up even if i use %5.2f for printing the float value Dec 22 12:06:53 any ideas on how I can align them up? Dec 22 12:11:43 captain not by themselves Dec 22 12:12:24 Hmmm... my ImageView doesn't show on the GridView, but the TextView does. Dec 22 12:12:53 CaptainFarrell: http://blog.lemberg.co.uk/concurrent-database-access Dec 22 12:13:14 note i had add synchronize to open / close to actually get that example working in my implementation Dec 22 12:15:46 lasserix, my helper class is a singleton Dec 22 12:16:35 internally the sqlite database doesn't handle synchronization Dec 22 12:17:20 dodobrain: maybe using Html.fromHtml modifiers? Dec 22 12:17:53 lasserix, umm.. i don't understand that.. any links to where i can read up onthis ? Dec 22 12:17:54 dodobrain but in reality why not set gravity on the textview to the right Dec 22 12:17:55 anyhow, I think i've asked the wrong question. The thing which worries me is delayed db inserts. e.g.: a user is presented with a listview which is built from db. now, the user via some interface changes 1 db row, insert takes plays in AsyncTask. let's suppose, the task is not yet finished but the user deided to make another insert. Dec 22 12:18:08 it is already to the right! Dec 22 12:18:16 i reckon it's possible to lose data even if db access is thread-safe Dec 22 12:18:49 CaptainFarrell: you can use an arrayblockingqueue to process your inserts? Dec 22 12:19:17 imagine that we talking about updates instead of inserts Dec 22 12:19:23 *we're Dec 22 12:19:31 dodobrain: dunno myself really, just know it exists: google using html from html to do text formating android textview Dec 22 12:19:33 whats a good image paste site? Dec 22 12:19:51 i want to show the output i have Dec 22 12:20:20 I'm making a GridView of cards (like the Google Now ones), how can I have a top margin without it being padding? I mean, so that when I scroll there's no blank space on top Dec 22 12:20:39 CaptainFarrell: that's getting more and more into databasing and less and less androiding, but again if you use an array blocking queue or something similar, then iterate over it prior to processing each one to see if there is a conflict, then dump that processing for the item, since it is going to be changed later Dec 22 12:21:26 in theory, user may start 2 update asynctasks of the same row, one of them would get lost Dec 22 12:21:41 captainfar Just use a thread and a handler much easier to wrangle Dec 22 12:22:18 since posting messages to the handler (on the ui thread anyways) is already synchronized queue, they'll always arrive in order and you can process them as such Dec 22 12:24:12 one result could overwrite another anyway :) Dec 22 12:25:05 anyway, thanks. I think I myself do not know what answer I'm looking for. Dec 22 12:28:00 captainfar: no they couldn't if done right Dec 22 12:28:03 that's what i was trying to say Dec 22 12:28:16 you basically post a message update1, then update2, then update3 Dec 22 12:28:39 when you process update one you can iterate over the updates, see if there are conflicts on the pk Dec 22 12:28:48 then not do that update Dec 22 12:29:05 you know they will always be in the order they were called, therefore they would never overwrite eachother Dec 22 12:29:45 i think this would be fast enough, since a user can only do so many updates (and even then you can batch operations) Dec 22 12:30:54 I think I might Dec 22 12:30:59 ve understood you Dec 22 12:31:35 stack updates, analyse and, in case of updates, process the most recent onces Dec 22 12:32:54 ahh yeah but if you go with a queue don't rearrange the queue Dec 22 12:33:19 just don't process the current one if there is found to be a conflict down the line (ie "continue" in a loop) Dec 22 12:35:02 btw, nice blog Dec 22 12:39:19 oh my, I know one of your apps. it was reviewed on 4pda Dec 22 12:42:07 oh Dec 22 12:42:11 that's not my blog :P Dec 22 12:42:18 not that smart yet :) Dec 22 12:45:09 soon... Dec 22 12:46:21 hehe if ever Dec 22 12:46:35 been stuck with the fooking keyboard visibility behavior for a while now Dec 22 12:49:24 lasserix, you mean on an edittext ? Dec 22 12:49:54 when you just switched to an activity/fragment? Dec 22 12:51:08 kind of Dec 22 12:51:23 i have an edittext that has a textchanged watcher to do search on extra chars Dec 22 12:51:42 idea is to have keyboard showing if there is no input, and not showing if there is input, unless the user clicks into it Dec 22 12:52:25 i have tried almost every permuatation of the flags for showsoft / togglesoftinput and the like, but nothing works 100% just 98% Dec 22 12:52:28 keyboard not showing if there is input? how did the input get there in the first place? Dec 22 12:52:45 umm, more like keyboard is showing if there is input Dec 22 12:52:57 or keyboard does not show if there is no input and app just started Dec 22 12:53:08 I'm making a GridView of cards (like the Google Now ones), how can I have a top margin without it being padding? I mean, so that when I scroll there's no blank space on top Dec 22 12:53:31 *keyboard will show on returning to app, even though there is input and i'm requesting focus on a view with null input type and softtogglingthe keyboard off Dec 22 12:53:39 autrilla, check the padding/margin on the container element Dec 22 12:54:07 lasserix, ah.. they you might have set on the edittext in the xml layout file Dec 22 12:54:25 if you get rid of that, then it won;t grab focus as soon as the activity is loaded Dec 22 12:54:48 dodobrain, the container has no padding Dec 22 12:54:55 aunn, and margin? Dec 22 12:55:08 autrilla, i cannot believe that there is a space Dec 22 12:55:19 Let me pastebin my layouts Dec 22 12:55:20 post your xml Dec 22 12:55:46 http://pastebin.com/PCkQmspe Dec 22 12:58:25 eclipse gui builder is weird. I once had a problem with one edittext having focus by default, there was nothing in xml for that, i moved that edittext in another linearlayout and moved it back again Dec 22 12:58:41 xml stayed the same but focus was gone Dec 22 12:59:05 i know it sounds stupid but that's what happened :) Dec 22 14:04:30 hey guys, I'm using a button as back arrow for back "<" I would want the area around the button to be clickable Dec 22 14:04:48 as currently user has to carefully click on the button Dec 22 14:31:26 hi! I've got a widget that starts a configuration dialog when it is added, and I'd like it for that to be closed before it continues to load. what's the best way to do this, seeing how widgets don't have startactivityforresult? Dec 22 14:47:24 hey all X) Dec 22 15:12:22 Does someone know how to make IntelliJ use an image from another location so I don't always have to drag it back in when I update the image? Dec 22 15:12:59 Having to do it for every single dpi takes a long time because IntelliJ moves the file instead of taking a copy. Dec 22 15:15:08 I often use a fragment without UI to store data shared among different fragments. I have a static method in the DATA fragment to get the current fragment (by tag) or add it using a fragment transaction. The issue is that the commit() of a fragment transaction doesn't happen immediately so when multiple fragment require it at the same time multiple instances are returned by the method. Any idea on how I can make this Dec 22 15:15:08 all thing works without making sure the first request is performed and committed before any other fragment ask for it? Dec 22 15:17:48 masen, what about sharedprefs ? Dec 22 15:17:56 mastro, err.. ^^ Dec 22 15:18:38 dodobrain, fragment = code, shared preference = data.. furthermore I didn't say I need the data to persist across different activities Dec 22 15:19:25 err.. lemme quote your from your initial question: "... use a fragment without UI to store data shared among different fragments..." Dec 22 15:19:53 so whats wrong with sharedprefs again? are you mistakenly assuming you cannot set/retrieve data from sharedprefs within your code? Dec 22 15:20:13 dodobrain, fragment != activity Dec 22 15:20:17 so? Dec 22 15:20:24 dodobrain, code = I can also do stuff not only share data Dec 22 15:21:21 your goal if i may remind myself is to share data.. Dec 22 15:21:48 again whats wrong with sharedprefs fir this purpose? or for that matter a singleton of your own imagination? Dec 22 15:22:01 dodobrain, it's to have a single place where I manage my data, while I have multiple places sinchronizing the view on that data Dec 22 15:22:17 dodobrain, which mean LOGIC AND DATA Dec 22 15:22:18 yeah, please read up on the singleton pattern Dec 22 15:22:30 dodobrain, yeah, but I do not need a singleton Dec 22 15:22:42 right, enjoy your coding adventures Dec 22 15:23:13 dodobrain, if you do not know how to help you are not asked to reply :) Dec 22 15:24:04 not that i do not know how to reply.. just that i think you're looking for something that can be sufficiently serviced by what i mentioned. Dec 22 15:29:05 dodobrain, you are in no position to know what I have here in my code. It is a big code base. I asked what I need and I told you the singleton pattern doesn't apply. I've been polite, can't say that about you ;) Dec 22 15:30:49 apologies if i have been rude.. its late here Dec 22 15:31:25 im in need of a backend web service to serve some XML to my app, what would other recommend?? Dec 22 15:33:00 i am terrible noob Dec 22 15:33:10 first time trying to compile something Dec 22 15:33:21 would someone be so kind to explain me where i can set TARGET Dec 22 15:34:01 do i have to set it from command line or it can be dun in project properties ? Dec 22 15:34:54 dodobrain, no problem Dec 22 15:35:44 got it Dec 22 15:35:45 Projects > Properties > Android Dec 22 15:38:11 dodobrain, apparently the only way is to make the activity store the instance of the fragment and return it (through interface) to the attached fragment. I hoped to avoid this but it's the safest solution :/ Dec 22 15:38:52 wanted to avoid it so that each fragment could be truly independent of the activity Dec 22 15:39:32 hello Dec 22 15:40:05 I have a couple of development questions for a device virtually non existent on the web Dec 22 15:40:42 anyone here? Dec 22 15:41:46 Prasad1337: are you writing an app for said device? Dec 22 15:42:45 no, I'm writing a flashable zip... needed to know if I should use amend or edify for stock 3e recovery on android 4.0.3 ? Dec 22 15:43:23 #android-root for questions like that Dec 22 15:43:31 okay thank you :) Dec 22 15:49:02 twiceaday, I doubt someone will help you with programming skill... :) anyone will tell you to follow some online tutorial Dec 22 15:53:50 wow really make sure your listviews are not wrapping content Dec 22 15:55:22 Really shouldn't make any scrollable containers wrap content Dec 22 16:01:59 Yeah I didn't think about it before, but man that feels good to see the adapter run twice as fast, thought the last weeks worth of refactoring wasn't really paying off after all :P Dec 22 16:13:07 Does someone know how to disable the annoying scrolling in the project view that doesn't let you scroll beyond your selection in IntelliJ? I think you'll understand what I mean if you use IntelliJ, it is so annoying! Dec 22 16:13:31 I don't even know what causes it, it is so annoying! Dec 22 16:17:35 hi! I've got a widget that starts a configuration dialog when it is added, and I'd like it for that to be closed before it continues to load. what's the best way to do this, seeing how widgets don't have startactivityforresult? Dec 22 16:20:33 This is weird. If I use a ListView and inflate a layout, it looks different than if I just hardcode it into the layout Dec 22 16:24:05 'different' how Dec 22 16:24:11 are you using the right Context Dec 22 16:24:34 Hmm let me see Dec 22 16:28:33 how can i still have error Dec 22 16:29:12 that states:"Project has no target set. Edit the project properties to set one." Dec 22 16:29:53 when in project -> properties i have project build target that says aandroid 4.4.2 Dec 22 16:29:56 hmm i dont get it Dec 22 16:30:13 if anyone would be so kind to tell me what i am doing wrong i would be happy Dec 22 16:41:43 Is it possible to put all of the activity xml files in another folder ("activities" for example)? Dec 22 16:42:03 Or to put it in a folder inside of layout Dec 22 16:42:27 storkme, ok, now I'm sure it looks different in those cases. What code do you need? Dec 22 16:42:34 hey so I am having trouble getting the apk file from eclipse onto my real device connected through usb Dec 22 16:42:50 I turned on debug mode when usb connected as well Dec 22 16:43:01 and downloaded the google usb drivers Dec 22 16:43:06 am I missing something Dec 22 16:43:13 Then you haven't installed it correctly Dec 22 16:43:46 well where is my device suppose to show up exactly on eclipse Dec 22 16:43:56 LoneSoldier728, it doesn't work for me either. I set up my Raspberry Pi as a bridge, it detects file change (I upload the apk file to it), installs it on my device and shows the debug log. Dec 22 16:44:20 But I don't think you have a raspberry pi available for example. Dec 22 16:44:40 twiceaday, install java JDK (not JRE!!!!) 1.6 / 1.7 in your system and set up the environment variable. Follow the guide on android to install the Android SDK and you should be good to go. If you aren't re-checks your steps with the android tutorial. You did something wrong Dec 22 16:44:55 I'll might use it for mass deployment later on. Dec 22 16:45:07 (Multiple devices) Dec 22 16:45:29 ya im using my nexus 5 4.4 Dec 22 16:45:40 so i am not sure what needs to happen more Dec 22 16:46:09 LoneSoldier728, what are you trying to say now? I'm also using a Nexus 5 running 4.4.2. Dec 22 16:47:06 basically same shit how do I get my device to show up when I am in run configurations Dec 22 16:47:11 looking at the devices Dec 22 16:49:27 LoneSoldier728, is there a commandline adb available for Windows? Dec 22 16:49:42 yes ther is Dreeass Dec 22 16:49:47 there Dec 22 16:49:55 I have adb.exe but when I try to open that too it does not stay open auto closes at the end Dec 22 16:49:58 what is it ahmad Dec 22 16:51:07 Ahmad96, can you tell him how to do that commandline on Windows then? That gives you more information then Eclipse does. Dec 22 16:51:19 you don't run it like that Dec 22 16:51:39 You run cmd and run your commands Dec 22 16:51:50 ok if i run cmd Dec 22 16:51:59 where should i be running the commands from Dec 22 16:52:01 what path? Dec 22 16:52:10 because i tried adb install etc Dec 22 16:52:12 From the path where your adb is located Dec 22 16:52:21 from where adb.exe is located? Dec 22 16:52:23 Ahmad96, what's the lsusb equivalent on Windows, Dec 22 16:52:58 LoneSoldier728, hold shift and right click open command prompt here. Dec 22 16:53:01 Don't know, I'm not a windows user Dec 22 16:53:03 on the folder. Dec 22 16:53:45 ok i just moved to the path on the cmd Dec 22 16:53:53 Ahmad96, do you perhaps know how to remove the padding in PreferenceScreen on Android? Dec 22 16:54:13 Is it possible by adding a layout? Dec 22 16:54:30 Hmm I don't think so Dec 22 16:54:46 Should be somehow possible, but never looked into that Dec 22 16:55:07 Ahmad96, damnit. It looks so ugly, the lines don't reach the edge of the screen :/ Dec 22 16:56:03 It would look ugly without padding imo Dec 22 16:56:15 There should always be padding Dec 22 16:56:23 is it adb install path/here/.apk? Dec 22 16:57:18 yes. Dec 22 16:57:22 ok well getting error device not found Dec 22 16:57:34 adb kill-server Dec 22 16:57:38 adb start-server Dec 22 16:57:41 adb devices Dec 22 16:57:55 run that in that order Dec 22 16:58:14 it is blank Dec 22 16:58:18 the list of devices attached Dec 22 16:58:41 so I am assuming my device is the problem now... maybe that is why it is not showing up Dec 22 16:58:43 Did you install the drivers for your device? Dec 22 16:59:00 I am in android sdk manager Dec 22 16:59:09 google usb driver installed Dec 22 16:59:14 is that incorrect? Dec 22 16:59:31 That just downloads the driver Dec 22 16:59:48 LoneSoldier728, did you enable developer options on your device? Dec 22 16:59:59 yep Dec 22 17:00:01 That are the driver for the nexus devices LoneSoldier728 Dec 22 17:00:07 tapped on about 7 times w.e it was Dec 22 17:00:23 and then did you enable adb ? Dec 22 17:00:27 Check device manager that you actually installed it Dec 22 17:00:39 lonequid, within developer options, enable debugging Dec 22 17:00:52 http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver Dec 22 17:01:25 i have windows 8 Dec 22 17:01:34 so i followed windows 7 instructions is that a prob Dec 22 17:01:58 Shouldn't be Dec 22 17:02:02 i dont see anything about adb on my device dodobrain Dec 22 17:02:16 Windows in general is the problem. Dec 22 17:02:48 Settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging.. make sure that is ticked Dec 22 17:02:53 install driver, verify it appears as adb device in device manager Dec 22 17:03:54 ya it is Dec 22 17:04:41 plug device in again Dec 22 17:05:29 i just did h Dec 22 17:05:35 what device manager Dec 22 17:05:38 in eclipse? Dec 22 17:05:45 windows Dec 22 17:05:57 it shows up Dec 22 17:06:11 as portable devices Dec 22 17:06:20 scrernshot Dec 22 17:06:34
