**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Dec 31 02:59:58 2013 Dec 31 03:00:02 Node: if just a minute later, why not reset Alarm manager or keep your activity active&do it? Dec 31 03:00:34 to set a snooze you'd need a UI......sooooo...... Dec 31 03:01:27 Yeah, so if my MainActivity is setting the AlarmManager, and starting a Service to pop the notifcation Dec 31 03:01:42 I am just confused what to call in the snooze button Dec 31 03:02:33 what i'm saying is, if an alarm is set that someone has to interact with then even using a notification is should react to an activity...do the snooze in your activity Dec 31 03:02:51 Start a broadcastreceiver that sets an alarm Dec 31 03:04:38 canvs2321: But then wouldn't clicking on the snooze open the activity? Dec 31 03:05:28 where is the snooze in the notification? if so can't you set handlers on that? Dec 31 03:06:12 basically if they have to scroll down the notification to set a snooze, are you creating extra steps? Dec 31 03:06:15 The notification can have three actions.. One of them is snooze Dec 31 03:06:46 make a popup or something, or load an activity for those 3 actions.... Dec 31 03:08:04 Ok thanks Dec 31 03:08:15 SimonVT: Thanks.. will try that as well Dec 31 03:18:50 why the heck do android colors have two extra characters in them? instead of a regular hex color code? Dec 31 03:19:19 for alpha Dec 31 03:19:27 sorry, alpha? Dec 31 03:20:18 transparency, approximately Dec 31 03:23:36 Hello! Is there any "nested fragments" sample out there? I cannot find an "official sample" if there is any Dec 31 03:27:40 http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.2.html#NestedFragments Dec 31 03:29:48 bankai_: Yeah, I've read that. But I'm having an error with my current "solution" Dec 31 03:29:58 which error Dec 31 03:32:25 Apparently, the nested fragment is created, but when I rotate my tablet, the app crashes ("Unfortunately, NameOfApp has stopped") Dec 31 03:32:38 stacktrace Dec 31 03:33:20 bankai_: I may delay a bit to have that, I am just a beginner Dec 31 03:36:21 bankai_: I think now I understand why the app is crashing Dec 31 03:37:16 I used adb logcat and the message says I cannot instantiate a Fragment with a constructor that has parameters Dec 31 03:37:28 sweet, done and done :) Dec 31 03:37:58 Well, Thanks for your help. That suggestion was enough for me. Dec 31 03:38:16 I didn't know that was a restriction for Fragments. Dec 31 03:40:13 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html Dec 31 03:41:04 bankai_: Thanks again Dec 31 03:41:09 for the reference Dec 31 03:41:39 Sometimes, all I need is a little guidance (or a good pointer) Dec 31 04:09:36 damn it; KeyChain.choosePrivateKeyAlias() isn't showing me a list of installed certs. this isn't rocket science, what could i be doing wrong Dec 31 04:15:25 so android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(resolver,Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, 0) works for me to disable auto rotation, but it always gets locked to landscape when it's disabled... is there a way i can make it lock to whatever orientation the user is in? Dec 31 04:22:38 hrmmm I may not have thought this through all the way Dec 31 04:22:53 if I have an activity...it doesn't load up anything to display...just starts another activity via an intent Dec 31 04:23:00 will that mess up the back button somehow? Dec 31 04:25:37 Does anyone have any experience with SpellCheckerServices? It's not the most well documented and I'm having trouble figuring out how some simple things (like which locale getLocal() passes is decided, or listing available languages in the text/input prefs) actually get implemented Dec 31 04:31:46 prgmmax, If you finish, it won't Dec 31 04:32:08 finish? Dec 31 04:56:28 heh Dec 31 04:56:29 quick questiong uys Dec 31 04:56:48 with the level of javascript learned in code academy, could one put together a decent app? Dec 31 04:57:01 just dont know what degree of js is taught etc Dec 31 04:58:09 javascript? oh dear .... Dec 31 04:58:33 is the "com.android.internal.view" stuff open source? Dec 31 04:59:29 maqr: I think generally com.android is open, com.google is closed Dec 31 04:59:57 ah ok Dec 31 05:00:56 oh sweet, i found it Dec 31 05:04:16 hmm, for some reason i can't import "com.android.internal" stuff Dec 31 05:14:50 maqr: there are defintely internal classes, they're open source but not part of the public api Dec 31 05:17:24 ... Dec 31 05:17:26 anyone? Dec 31 05:17:32 with the level of javascript learned in code academy, could one put together a decent app? Dec 31 05:17:35 f2prateek_: i think i got it, this is apparently what you use xposed for Dec 31 05:18:30 justdl: you mean java? Dec 31 05:18:38 yes Dec 31 05:19:35 no idea what that is or what you've learnt, so yeah, sure.. why not Dec 31 05:20:42 the question is sort of ill-posed, because if you put effort into learning as you go, then it doesn't really matter how much you know beforehand Dec 31 05:28:41 it totally worked, i added my feature :) Dec 31 05:29:56 anyone know of a way to present the user with a list of installed certificates? Credential storage has System / User, I want the user to pick a cert from "User" Dec 31 05:38:33 ugh Dec 31 05:38:37 im still looking for the motivation here lol Dec 31 05:40:48 if i'm submitting a pull request to a project, is it appropriate to modify just the english strings.xml? Dec 31 05:54:53 my git diff has some windows line endings and some not :/ Dec 31 05:58:30 ugh crap; so to install a cert on the system basicConstraints=CA:true Dec 31 06:35:56 <_genuser_> hello folks. trying to use a Navigation Drawer. Google docs talk about using DrawerLayout from the Support Library. Dec 31 06:36:04 <_genuser_> is this the only way to use the nav drawer? Dec 31 06:39:49 i'm sending my first android pull request, and part of the change i had to make was to change target=android-17 to target=android-19 to make it build... given that the branch is supposed to be aimed at kitkat, does that make sense to anyone? Dec 31 06:40:04 here's my commit, if anyone wants to look: https://github.com/maqr/GravityBox/commit/35140055518cca505b79d2b1c27c8feb957c1d30 Dec 31 06:40:13 i'm pretty sure i did everything else right, but i'm not sure about that Dec 31 06:42:15 _genuser_: yes Dec 31 06:44:15 <_genuser_> JakeWharton: thanks. :) I added teh v4.support lib to my project however, it fails to resolve import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout. So now I am going thru the sample code to see what's the deal. Dec 31 06:44:29 do you have the latest revision of it? Dec 31 06:44:39 <_genuser_> of the support lib? Dec 31 06:44:49 <_genuser_> I have v9, whereas the sdk mgr says latest it 19. Dec 31 06:45:24 <_genuser_> I suppose if the demo doesn't work either, I'll have to upgrade it. I hate to do that, since last time I did that it broke everything lol. Dec 31 06:46:19 update it Dec 31 06:46:42 r9 is from like summer 2012 Dec 31 06:46:49 <_genuser_> alrighty then. Dec 31 06:47:02 <_genuser_> more excited about parsing an json object. :) Dec 31 06:47:06 <_genuser_> than implementing a drawer. Dec 31 06:48:29 make Gson do that for you Dec 31 06:48:44 <_genuser_> ok, that was it. when I copy teh android-support-v4.jar from teh sample project into my proj's lib, it resolves. Which means I should update the lib so it's done properly. Dec 31 06:49:58 <_genuser_> updating. Dec 31 06:50:13 <_genuser_> what's gson? android provider json parser? Or 3rd party? Dec 31 06:50:24 <_genuser_> *provided Dec 31 06:51:08 depends on your definition of third party Dec 31 06:51:19 it's a Google library Dec 31 06:51:34 <_genuser_> I see android.util.JsonReader is an option too. Dec 31 06:52:04 <_genuser_> 3rd party is somethign I have to download and save and bundle with my proj. google provided will hopefully be managed thru sdk mgr and will just work. Dec 31 06:52:08 JsonReader and anything in the org.json package is never an option Dec 31 06:52:24 <_genuser_> what's wrong with it? Is it pretty terrible? Dec 31 06:52:28 yes Dec 31 06:52:33 <_genuser_> check. Dec 31 06:52:35 it's terrible Dec 31 06:52:53 it makes you (the programmer) do the work that a computer should do Dec 31 06:53:08 <_genuser_> ugh the google-gson lib an separate download. Dec 31 06:53:29 99.9% of the libraries of any use are not provided in sdk manager Dec 31 06:53:31 <_genuser_> but gotta like it's goals: provide simple toJson() and fromJson() .... Dec 31 06:54:20 <_genuser_> well found it's project page. will download this google-gson-2.2.4-release.zip and let's see how it goes. Dec 31 06:54:29 <_genuser_> I assume it's a jar that goes in the /lib folder. Dec 31 06:54:57 correct Dec 31 06:55:22 <_genuser_> thanks. downloaded and will use this once the drawer is working. it's a simple app pullings stats from online. so should be straight forward. Dec 31 06:56:04 <_genuser_> your previous pointers regarding a swiping tab really helped me. Dec 31 06:56:10 <_genuser_> that app is running nicely on my phone. Dec 31 06:56:29 <_genuser_> so just saying that I appreciate your help. Dec 31 06:58:24 glad it helped! Dec 31 07:00:09 <_genuser_> :) Dec 31 07:09:36 in my emulator i have assigned webcam as the rear cam - when i open the camera application in the emulator it says "Unfortumnately camera has stopped".. when i view the logcat it sayas http://pastebin.com/uxNMgThG Dec 31 07:09:44 kindly provide some inputs to proceed Dec 31 07:09:49 hwtas going wrong here ? Dec 31 07:21:18 Need advice on uploading image using POST along with other strings. Dec 31 07:23:21 ok i waited some time so i can repost Dec 31 07:23:23 in my emulator i have assigned webcam as the rear cam - when i open the camera application in the emulator it says "Unfortumnately camera has stopped".. when i view the logcat it sayas http://pastebin.com/uxNMgThG Dec 31 07:23:27 kindly provide some inputs to proceed Dec 31 07:23:31 whats going wrong here ? Dec 31 07:27:10 damn this room is so silent ! Dec 31 07:27:16 everybody gone for new year parties ? Dec 31 07:27:49 or is my question so noobish ! Dec 31 07:28:57 solofight maybe try genymotion Dec 31 07:35:40 g00s: saw the video presentation - looks cool Dec 31 07:36:37 but looks like a proprietary tool ! Dec 31 07:37:04 it is Dec 31 07:37:11 free for personal use Dec 31 07:39:53 g00s: signed up, downloading now Dec 31 07:40:20 so all the shell commands and ways of logging it similar to the standard SDK ? Dec 31 07:41:01 how good is this compared to the standard (the video says you are in complete control of gyro, gps and stuff) but am new to development and not able to understand which pain points that this solves compared to the standard SDK Dec 31 07:41:13 can you please give me an idea about it ? Dec 31 07:41:48 its much faster Dec 31 07:42:25 the free one doesn't have all the fancy things Dec 31 07:42:40 the google emu is total crap Dec 31 07:43:55 g00s: total crap = = lacking what ? Dec 31 07:45:14 well on my mac haxm was causing problems, and without that - its too slow to use Dec 31 07:45:36 I got it working!! Mostly...kind of Dec 31 07:45:41 got a funky new problem Dec 31 07:46:03 I go to my browser, click a link that my app intercepts Dec 31 07:46:31 and then it appears to exist inside the browser app, not starting an instance of my app Dec 31 07:51:29 g00s: i need a cloud account to create a virtual machine with genny ! ? Dec 31 07:51:54 thats your account you used to register Dec 31 07:52:00 yeah its a pain Dec 31 07:54:03 whoop ! every VM instance has to be downloaded (170mb) Dec 31 08:04:20 I'm trying to use jplayer in a webview... it works great to play files from an online source, but I seem to be having trouble with local files. If I put them in main > assets > www > audio, within the html which is up a level I they would be in src="audio/sound.mp3", correct? Dec 31 08:12:45 I feel old when awesome WM is more familiar to me than Gnome 3 and Unity. Dec 31 08:15:26 Hello Dec 31 08:16:04 How would I proceed if I have about a hundred methods of which I need to call one based on some input from the user? Do you use reflection or something else? Dec 31 08:16:33 The method names are very similar/identical to what the user will select. Dec 31 08:17:17 what kind of input? Dec 31 08:17:22 how do the methods differ? Dec 31 08:17:31 By writing about a hundred different calls depending on the user's input. Dec 31 08:17:35 Or by keeping a lookup table. Dec 31 08:18:32 JakeWharton, From a spinner selection Dec 31 08:19:59 enum of choices, spinner adapter backed by enum.values() array, on selection getItem(position) to get enum value and then switch on that value, call the appropriate method Dec 31 08:20:47 Does it feel right to you? Having 100 cases? Dec 31 08:21:06 What's wrong with reflection in this case? Dec 31 08:21:08 it feels wrong having to switch at all Dec 31 08:21:20 I would potentially use reflection to invoke the method rather than long and elaborate switch-case Dec 31 08:21:37 having 100 different methods with a single spinner to choose sounds... non-optimal to me to start with Dec 31 08:21:43 there's also the argument that "if" statements, which switch is a type of, do not belong in object oriented programming, but this is a rather extreme opinion Dec 31 08:21:48 don't even need that, an enum can have a method interface Dec 31 08:21:55 Leeds, There are multiple spinners but that's not really relevant Dec 31 08:22:04 I'm taking selection based on three of them Dec 31 08:22:05 I find switch-case, or if-chains to be reasonable and clear way to encode some types of functionality. Dec 31 08:23:54 for instance, I'm currently writing a small OBD reader application for my car. OBD values are binary data, there's type of data and then data value. The interpretation depends on type. I could create classes to do the interpretation or just switch on the type. Dec 31 08:24:34 100 lines of code did the trick, I believe. I would have ended up with interfaces and around 10 classes if I had done it in some more purist way. Dec 31 08:26:25 but I found someone else's project who had done a class per data item type. It looks a lot like this: https://github.com/pires/android-obd-reader/blob/master/obd-api/src/main/java/eu/lighthouselabs/obd/commands/temperature/AirIntakeTemperatureObdCommand.java Dec 31 08:28:07 i should get one of those obdII dongles / apps for my truck. does the BT really go through the firewall ? Dec 31 08:28:10 In comparison, something very similar is accomplished by my method convert(): https://github.com/alankila/android-obd/blob/master/App/src/main/java/fi/bel/android/obd/util/OBD.java Dec 31 08:29:16 g00s: I do not understand. Firewall? Dec 31 08:29:21 alankila was a happy camper to switch on strings ;) Dec 31 08:29:38 alankila the wall separating the engine compartment and the driver Dec 31 08:29:41 I'm actually unhappy that I made pids strings. I will likely change it to integer Dec 31 08:30:15 heh, not firewall like iptables :P Dec 31 08:30:39 g00s: well, if that's where your OBD-II port is, then I guess it might be a problem. Usually it's in the cockpit Dec 31 08:31:04 ah, hopefully :| Dec 31 08:31:05 in many cars, it's in or near the fuse box, or under the driving wheel, or near the gas pedals, or something Dec 31 08:31:17 with emulator - i want to upload my picture in the sd card and use it inside my application. When i search for how to access my sd card inside my emulator - i find no materials Dec 31 08:31:20 is it not possible ? Dec 31 08:31:46 there are several which talks about accessing sd card with shell and eclipse but none within the emulator itself Dec 31 08:32:25 man..this is so weird Dec 31 08:32:53 why does my app appear in the browser? Dec 31 08:33:46 but it doesn't Dec 31 08:34:00 if I hold the hardware button down to see what other apps are running it doesn't show the browser (since this is the browser, not another app) Dec 31 08:34:01 android doesn't support remote embedding Dec 31 08:34:34 it's part of the browsers task stack, maybe Dec 31 08:34:36 and if I tap the hardware button to go home, I can then hold it again and see it in the list, under the name "Internet" (the name of the browser) Dec 31 08:34:58 hrmmm sounds like it is, yeah Dec 31 08:35:29 set launch mode Dec 31 08:36:05 googling that Dec 31 08:36:07 thx Dec 31 08:43:33 just tried android:launchMode="singleTop" in the manifest for that activity Dec 31 08:43:36 no luck Dec 31 08:55:45 hrmmm yeah, I'm not sure how to set the launch properties to fix this Dec 31 09:00:38 oh! Dec 31 09:00:45 I set it ="singleInstance" and that worked Dec 31 09:00:49 not sure why but it worked Dec 31 09:27:15 hrmmm actually, that single instance isn't 100% what I want. If the app already exists, it just bring it to the foreground...doesn't parse the new address Dec 31 09:29:01 onNewIntent is what you're looking for Dec 31 09:29:29 ah k Dec 31 09:29:35 phew, this is getting complicated :) Dec 31 09:29:42 always does Dec 31 09:35:36 hi Dec 31 09:35:39 anyone around Dec 31 09:36:00 i have two questions about textviews Dec 31 09:36:24 one about setting the text of a textview with different styles of text Dec 31 09:37:06 (to this question i have found people use Html.fromHtml() Dec 31 09:37:26 but i dont think that the likes of facebook messenger use this) Dec 31 09:37:49 and the second is that, if html is used how do I append content to the textView Dec 31 09:37:54 .append is not working Dec 31 09:40:32 hello? Dec 31 09:41:07 styles are accomplished by Spannables Dec 31 09:41:47 you can't append to a textview because it renders a static String/CharSequence. You can give it a new string to render, though. Dec 31 09:42:39 anyone else ever had an issue with action bar activity not being resolved when using app compat as a dependancy in gradle? Dec 31 09:42:53 it compiles and runs fine, but AS keeps complaining the class doesn't exist >.> Dec 31 09:43:59 JakeWharton: arent spannables bad since you have to specify text length. what if its like blog where the user post has a variable length. then what? Dec 31 09:44:19 CallumTaylor: refresh the gradle model in the gradle pane Dec 31 09:44:40 yeah i do that and it fixes it, but every now and then it goes back out of sync Dec 31 09:44:50 ah well as long as its still compiling i guess Dec 31 09:44:56 Rohan_Bhangui: then you get the length of the string and use that value Dec 31 09:45:10 okay and the second part of my question Dec 31 09:45:16 how come appends are not working Dec 31 09:45:33 textview has no append method Dec 31 09:45:44 and strings are immutable Dec 31 09:46:11 SpannableStringBuilder/StringBuilder has an append method Dec 31 09:46:19 okay Dec 31 09:46:23 onNewIntent is working Dec 31 09:46:27 CallumTaylor: any exmaple you can show me? Dec 31 09:46:28 thanks for all the help, Jake Dec 31 09:46:31 *example Dec 31 09:46:40 for which one, string or spannable? Dec 31 09:46:42 CallumTaylor: except you can't pass those to TextView. You pass an immutable string or charsequence. Dec 31 09:47:02 my new problem is my debugger seems to be detaching when I close the app, and so I can't debug when the browser launches it Dec 31 09:47:10 maybe if I just don't close it, though :)...will try Dec 31 09:47:24 you can pass a spannable string builder to text view Dec 31 09:47:31 CallumTaylor: well I need to append styled text Dec 31 09:47:32 so Dec 31 09:47:36 with string builder i think you have to .toString Dec 31 09:47:41 im building a sort of blog so Dec 31 09:47:52 i need a title style and content style Dec 31 09:48:29 does the content come back as a plain text block? or can you get it as html Dec 31 09:49:12 CallumTaylor: that was my problem, i dont know how to get the html form of the "text" within the textview Dec 31 09:49:30 if I can do that, then I can use setText and then "append" it Dec 31 09:49:44 you can't because the html gets converted to spannables Dec 31 09:49:49 when using Html.fromHtml Dec 31 09:49:57 aha! i thought so Dec 31 09:50:19 so how can I get the styled content back from the textView Dec 31 09:50:19 so you want to getText from textView, slap that into a spannablestringbuilder and then you can append to it Dec 31 09:51:27 ah k yeah, if I don't close it the debugger stays attached Dec 31 09:53:11 CallumTaylor: if I wanted to store the value of getText from the textView, what is var type Dec 31 09:53:39 charsequence Dec 31 09:53:59 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#getText() Dec 31 09:54:28 CallumTaylor: but that is just a sequence, so it wont really get the styling, no? Dec 31 09:55:16 i guess I can use an arguement right? Dec 31 10:03:25 yeah you're right Dec 31 10:03:27 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6064487/changing-styles-in-a-textview-can-you-call-gettext-and-then-setspan Dec 31 10:03:53 do you not have a reference to the text that gets added to the text view? Dec 31 10:04:11 you may have to modify that Dec 31 10:04:16 spannables are a bitch Dec 31 10:05:23 CallumTaylor: well how it works is i press a button in a menu on the main activity, this takes me to a second activity, I add some text into 2 inputs and then press post and what should happen is the existing styled text in the textview should be concattennated with the new content from the previous activity Dec 31 10:05:40 i've done spannables before and I'm fairly sure if i wanted to change anything, i'd rebuild the whole spannable from what ever strings/objects i have Dec 31 10:05:48 but its been a while Dec 31 10:06:40 ok so best thing to do is to pass the new content back, and rebuild the whole spannable from scratch with the content from the first activity and the new content from the second Dec 31 10:08:48 CallumTaylor: wont that consume lots of mem esp when the nubmer of posts increase (sry I am trying to wrap my head around this ) Dec 31 10:09:44 you'll only be keeping a reference of the raw string, not the spannable, so it shouldn't, unless you have a string with billions of chars in it Dec 31 10:10:26 no they are tweet length posts Dec 31 10:11:39 CallumTaylor: so basically id do something like this (for getting spannable text from the textView): http://pastebin.com/tXHkGtE2 Dec 31 10:13:02 oh oh! http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/12/30/multiple-developers-seeing-influx-of-unexplained-1-star-ratings-since-launch-of-play-stores-new-quick-rating-widget/ Dec 31 10:13:27 "Developers are understandably angry given the potentially catastrophic effect this can have on the high ratings some of them have achieved." Dec 31 10:13:43 well, gotta remember we are building on rented land :) Dec 31 10:13:48 Rohan_Bhangui: read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6064487/changing-styles-in-a-textview-can-you-call-gettext-and-then-setspan Dec 31 10:14:00 even if you modify the span it won't update the visual style of the text view Dec 31 10:14:22 so your best bet is to create the spannable again from scratch and call setText Dec 31 10:14:40 g00s: doesn't matter if you don't have any downloads :0 Dec 31 10:15:10 i have downloads, but not many ratings. Dec 31 10:19:47 <_genuser_> argh!! Dec 31 10:20:27 <_genuser_> ListView.addHeaderView(View.inflate(this, R.layout.list_header, null)); crashes. Dec 31 10:24:19 <_genuser_> nm, fixed it. Dec 31 10:28:31 Alright, I think I've gotten it all figured out. Thanks so much for the help, everyone Dec 31 10:29:11 CallumTaylor: but regarding my pastebin, was that correct (i have set the buffertype of my textView through XML to spannable) Dec 31 10:29:44 yes Dec 31 10:30:06 okay Dec 31 10:43:44 JakeWharton: still around to answer a question Dec 31 10:43:46 http://pastebin.com/vHNRvEqm Dec 31 11:00:42 hey, question any ideas on how to increase the proformance of the android emulator? I have way more machine then the emulator should require yet it still boots super slow and I never use more then 5% of my ram and cpu pegs out at like 7% utilization. Why isnt the emulator trying to use more resources? Dec 31 11:01:18 and what can I try make it perform a little better Dec 31 11:01:26 dblosevn: good to see you Dec 31 11:01:40 Rohan_Bhangui: you too :-) Dec 31 11:01:41 * Rohan_Bhangui says hello from #jquery Dec 31 11:02:09 Ya I answer questions in #jQuery, and ask them in here lol Dec 31 11:03:42 dblosevn: probably you have a multi-core machine. 1/0.07 is 14. Perhaps 16 available execution threads? Dec 31 11:03:50 Its just nervwracking, I have a core i7 4770k quad 2.9ghz cpu and 32gb ram @ 1600mhz with a nvidia 5000k 3GB DDR5 gfx card. I wpuld expect it to perform much better Dec 31 11:04:01 8 threads Dec 31 11:04:30 anyway my guess here is that the emulator is largely single-threaded and last time I looked, it's the gpu emulation that's the hard part Dec 31 11:04:59 it runs even more crappy with gpu emulation Dec 31 11:05:03 *without Dec 31 11:05:06 I recommend getting any phone at all to run your code on, and throw the emulator to hell Dec 31 11:05:18 or alternatively try x86 android Dec 31 11:05:22 ya I usually do but I left my cords at the office Dec 31 11:05:27 there's virtualbox images that run on near-native speeds Dec 31 11:05:42 cords? try pairing by bluetooth, enable adb by network, connect to 192.168.44.1 Dec 31 11:05:46 or use wi-fi if you can Dec 31 11:05:46 and my phone is dead :-( I have android x86 in vmware Dec 31 11:05:59 but I couldnt ever get adb to connect to it Dec 31 11:06:22 bt is my favorite thing to do because I have that on at all times Dec 31 11:06:34 I use adb wifi religously on my phones/tablets so I would think it should be easy to get adb to connect to the vm Dec 31 11:06:49 ah yes. In bridged networking setup at the very least it should be very easy Dec 31 11:07:09 couldnt ever figure out how to get the vm to listen for adb Dec 31 11:07:45 dblosevn: mind aiding me in some easy android stuff Dec 31 11:07:46 I can ping the vm from the host machine, but adb connect x.x.x.x:5000 never worjed Dec 31 11:08:09 Rohan_Bhangui: if I can you know I will :-) Dec 31 11:08:35 ill paste you my code let me know what you think Dec 31 11:08:52 silently wishing to myself that there was a way to customize the ShareActionProvider a little better. Dec 31 11:09:04 when I run the emulator with gpu. system.ui.core constantly crashes :-( Dec 31 11:10:05 dblosevn, just download an x86 image Dec 31 11:10:53 dblosevn: http://pastebin.com/8eHrhNRz Dec 31 11:10:57 slightly commented Dec 31 11:11:13 As mentioned above I have one, I just cant get adb to connect to it :-( what do I need to do to make adb listen for connections in the x86 vm? Dec 31 11:12:07 I go into settings, developer settings menu, and enable adb over network there Dec 31 11:12:21 aight ill look for it Dec 31 11:12:26 dblosevn, you've got the intel x86 image, start it via the AVD or IDE? Dec 31 11:12:27 it prints IP address it uses if it can work it out by some rules like if wi-fi is enabled, but if not, it binds to all interfaces, usually port 5555 Dec 31 11:12:43 the developer settings menu may need a knocking action to enable Dec 31 11:12:55 you need to tap 7 times in the "About phone" screen's last entry iirc Dec 31 11:12:59 I tried the HAX emulator and it boots ultra fast Dec 31 11:13:23 like 8 seconds fast Dec 31 11:13:38 but system.ui.core constantly crashes and its basically unuseable Dec 31 11:14:35 what about the intel image provided in the sdk manager? Dec 31 11:14:50 thats what im talking about Dec 31 11:15:05 android x86 runs great in vmware Dec 31 11:15:21 ill play with it some more and see if i can get adb to connect to it again Dec 31 11:15:37 dblosevn, what is the point of running it in vmware? Dec 31 11:16:19 so I still have access to my pc Dec 31 11:16:23 At least I keep HAXM off because it interferes with virtualbox Dec 31 11:16:52 I tried it once and then realized that my collection of other OSes wouldn't be available concurrently so that put an end to that Dec 31 11:17:10 I guess hypervisors are jealous gods and you can only keep one installed at a time Dec 31 11:17:22 ya, virtualbox screwed up my vmware network settings so I gave on it Dec 31 11:18:03 dblosevn: still around Dec 31 11:18:05 I dont have a mac and use vmware to dev for ios Dec 31 11:18:26 Rohan_Bhangui: yep what you want me to look at I opened your paste not sure where to start though Dec 31 11:18:37 well Dec 31 11:18:40 here is where i am having issue Dec 31 11:19:09 here is the task: i need to have differnt styled text (one style for title and another for content) and it needs to be in 1 textview Dec 31 11:19:14 i am geting errors Dec 31 11:19:16 dblosevn: curious, I have a mac and all I did was use xcode and the simulator back when I made some iOS shit for customer Dec 31 11:19:53 the simulator was awesome, so incredibly fast. I think it was like 10 times faster than actual devices, so there was always the risk that what flew on my screen wouldn't do on the real thing Dec 31 11:20:16 I still don't understand what you are trying to do Dec 31 11:23:55 alankila: ya my mac os vm outperforms everybodys macbook pros I have seen Dec 31 11:24:18 not going to find a quad core mac with 32gb of ram :-D Dec 31 11:26:06 Oh Dec 31 11:26:21 I read "I have a mac" for some reason, not "I don't have a mac" Dec 31 11:27:58 dblosevn: any idea Dec 31 11:28:03 nope I dont have one :-) but my mac vm is beast on this machine gave it 10GB of ram and 2 cores cpu and 1GB video ram it screams Dec 31 11:29:10 Rohan_Bhangui: you never told me your issue I still have your paste open Dec 31 11:29:27 dblosevn: that stuff doesnt work Dec 31 11:29:44 errors talk about something like charsequence.length cannot find or somethign hold Dec 31 11:29:46 hold on Dec 31 11:30:04 reading error messages precisely is one of the first things a programmer must learn Dec 31 11:30:57 I know *way* too many people who seem to have a boolean understanding of error, it's either "working" or "not working", and even if the very first line spells out the cause of the error, they won't read it. Dec 31 11:32:19 alankila, there's people who can't read stacktraces and exceptions are obscure words :D Dec 31 11:32:23 I do consulting work for some people like that. It's good for me, though, as the more helpless your customer's representatives, the less actual competence you have to show to still awe them. Dec 31 11:33:45 I do remember when I first switched to a language that always generated proper stacktraces. I remember they were irritating and confusing to look at, but I think that lasted like the first 5 times. After that, I hate any language which doesn't render proper stack traces. Dec 31 11:34:42 that language is python by the way. One makes a number of newbie mistakes in it, like accidentally overriding builtins through assigning to 'map' or 'list' or similar variables, not realizing the consequence. It was those stacktraces that I struggled to understand back then. Dec 31 11:36:21 alankila, still can't live with that whitespace indention thing Dec 31 11:38:19 Rohan_Bhangui: long story short paste me the logcat of the error :-) Dec 31 11:38:57 dblosevn: hold on i almsot resolved it i think Dec 31 11:39:00 give me a sec Dec 31 11:55:30 Hi, anyone know why this: http://pastebin.com/aP8Byczn doesn't retrieve all the website data? Dec 31 11:55:54 I just cuts off after a while Dec 31 12:03:13 dblosevn: can you confirm something for me Dec 31 12:03:25 Rohan_Bhangui: what might that be :-) Dec 31 12:03:30 when I change to another activity is the previous activity destroyed by default Dec 31 12:03:39 no Dec 31 12:04:25 okay so i sohuld be able to access a textview's content from activity1 if i go to activity2 do some stuff and return to activity1 Dec 31 12:04:30 you can still go back to the prev activity in its last state by finishing the second activity Dec 31 12:05:10 well you cant access activity 2 from activity 1 Dec 31 12:06:26 and how are you going back to activity 1 are you finishing activity 2? if so I think the activity is destroyed, not positive on that Dec 31 12:07:07 well how my thing is working right now Dec 31 12:07:21 id switch back to activty 1 with extras and pass the values activity 1 needs in as extras Dec 31 12:07:26 is i press a menu button on activity1 Dec 31 12:07:30 and then it goes to activity 2 Dec 31 12:07:34 then i enter some stuff Dec 31 12:07:38 send an intent Dec 31 12:07:41 with input cotnent Dec 31 12:07:44 and return to activty1 Dec 31 12:08:04 how do you return to activty 1? Dec 31 12:08:05 then I need to access the content that WAS in activity Dec 31 12:08:11 using an intent Dec 31 12:08:22 ok so your not finishing activity2? Dec 31 12:08:22 Intent postIntent = new Intent(this, AddPostActivity.class); Dec 31 12:08:23 startActivity(postIntent) Dec 31 12:08:31 well i am when I press abutton Dec 31 12:08:35 which returns me to activity1 Dec 31 12:08:47 i send the data from activity2 to activity1 usign an intent Dec 31 12:10:25 dblosevn: any ideas? Dec 31 12:10:43 cause i need to get the existing content from the textview in activty1 Dec 31 12:10:58 Ive done that before, but I would have to rememebr how, I am relatively new to droid dev, I think I stored a reference to the activty2 context somewhere else that all activitys had access too Dec 31 12:11:53 well i can send the existing stuff to activity2 but i rather not Dec 31 12:11:57 there is no need too Dec 31 12:12:24 ya, I figured out a way to do it, just rrying to remember what my solution was Dec 31 12:13:02 please try to remember Dec 31 12:22:10 I want to upload multipart file to a server . can I use apache file upload lib? is there anything different I have to do in android from the desktop app? (I have done and used apache file upload in desktop apps) Dec 31 12:40:32 Hi, anyone know why this: http://pastebin.com/aP8Byczn doesn't retrieve all the website data? Dec 31 12:40:37 have you tried Android Studio? Dec 31 12:40:49 is it better/lighter than Eclipse? Dec 31 13:01:16 I don't think AS is lighter -- but it is usable for making android applications Dec 31 13:02:33 meisolsson: this is a pretty bad data reading approach imho... You should use byte[] format data and hand the HTML document to a parser capable of handling it, along with the Content-Type header because it may specify the charset to use for the page Dec 31 13:03:15 or if it's XML document that comes from that page, then to XML parser of course. Dec 31 13:04:30 in general XML parsers support reading document from inputstream -- though I personally dislike this because it causes debuggability issues. Suppose the XML document is invalid -- once the parser consumed it to a point there's usually no way to find out the bytes it consumed. For this reason, I generally copy the data to a ByteArrayOutputStream just so that I can, if I need to, show what the input was Dec 31 13:18:26 alankila: Thanks for the answer, gonna test that later Dec 31 13:28:07 I wrote an apps for Android. Where user can share dirty pictures. If i release it will it be violating Android app store terms and conditions please? if yes i wont if not i will move forward. Dec 31 13:39:29 Well - Snapchat seems to do fine. Dec 31 13:42:16 http://play.google.com/about/android-developer-policies.html Dec 31 13:42:30 Nudity and Sexually Explicit Material Dec 31 13:42:30 We don't allow content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. We also don't allow content that drives traffic to commercial pornography sites. Dec 31 13:43:24 uh, snapchat doesn't contain any nudity or graphic sexual acts, it's just an app that lets you send photos to people. Dec 31 13:44:07 (i think i read that out of context and confused myself please excuse me) Dec 31 13:46:13 SpeedEvil, Snapchat do not allow nude pictures i think, its violation in Android app store to have apps which does nude pictures. Dec 31 13:46:25 yeah Dec 31 13:46:42 And yes - I know in principle snapchat doesn't allow nudes. Dec 31 13:46:54 But - well - I'm aware of many people who use it basically for that. Dec 31 13:47:17 If you have an app which is specifically designed to serve porn - then no, you can't put that app on play. Dec 31 13:47:17 is this the part where I ask for your snapchat handle so we can trade Dec 31 13:48:11 There is apparantly an adult appstore. But I suspect it has near zero users. Dec 31 13:48:34 If your site is reputable enough, you could offer it for straight download. Dec 31 13:50:52 Nudity and Sexually Explicit Material Dec 31 13:50:52 We don't allow content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. We also don't allow content that drives traffic to commercial pornography sites. Dec 31 13:50:52 Google has a zero-tolerance policy against child sexual abuse imagery. If we become aware of content with child sexual abuse imagery, we will report it to the appropriate authorities and delete the Google Accounts of those involved with the distribution. Dec 31 13:53:16 Thank you SpeedEvil Dec 31 13:53:42 storkme, that is violation Dec 31 13:54:02
