**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jan 04 02:59:58 2014 Jan 04 03:12:39 Mattx: is the media yours? Jan 04 03:15:32 no, that's the problem Jan 04 03:50:29 Anyone in here Jan 04 03:50:39 I am trying to skin my options menu Jan 04 03:50:54 but i can't figure out how i'm supposed to go about it Jan 04 03:51:03 i want it to look something like this Jan 04 03:51:04 http://d3cuwgf533ybcw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Solid-Explorer-Main-file-menu.png Jan 04 04:25:15 can anyone help me out Jan 04 04:25:27 how do i skin the options menu? Jan 04 05:04:54 Question. I'm making a custom widget and lets say I want one format of an attribute to be a Bitmap.config can I do that? Jan 04 05:06:17 I can probably do an altenrative Jan 04 05:06:19 I'll see what I can do Jan 04 05:39:56 I generated a theme with action bar style generator Jan 04 05:40:05 now i have a gaping hole in my layout Jan 04 05:40:20 space for tabs and i can't seem to get rid of it Jan 04 05:45:05 in this image, is the icon with the 4 lines on the dropdown standard? Jan 04 05:45:06 http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pSrGmu1ZGaI/TaXdUL8MXXI/AAAAAAAAAVk/hbe_m-1QIf8/s1600/I4.png Jan 04 05:53:29 we got any glass GDK users in here? Jan 04 05:54:07 I wrote a little app for multifactor authentication, https://github.com/grep-awesome/GlassMFA. It's in its early stages, but if anyone wants to play it's there. Jan 04 05:55:08 i want glass... Jan 04 05:55:13 but i'm poor Jan 04 05:56:28 well I only paid for half of mine, but it is quite a price to pay Jan 04 05:57:11 grep_awesome what is glass? Jan 04 05:57:39 zquad: http://www.google.com/glass/start/ Jan 04 05:57:39 why is it possible to create a getter for a varriable in java before that variable is declared? .net would go nuts Jan 04 05:57:54 oh glass lol Jan 04 05:58:46 zquad: ha, yeah I was little thrown to get that question in the android irc channel Jan 04 05:59:05 bkboggy: getters are just methods Jan 04 05:59:22 anyone know the name of that last icon? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pSrGmu1ZGaI/TaXdUL8MXXI/AAAAAAAAAVk/hbe_m-1QIf8/s1600/I4.png left most icon with 5 lines? I am looking for that icon for about an hour now Jan 04 05:59:24 right, but why is a method able to use variable before it's declared? Jan 04 05:59:45 that shouldn't work... Jan 04 06:00:12 ie someMethod() { int numVar = otherVar; } then a few lines down int otherVar = 3; Jan 04 06:00:23 yeah, that's what's driving me nuts Jan 04 06:00:28 it works Jan 04 06:00:30 i don't get it Jan 04 06:01:30 where is the method called? Jan 04 06:01:45 what is the issue bkboggy Jan 04 06:01:46 let me give you a pastebin, sec Jan 04 06:02:18 this is within a class: http://pastebin.com/LjGegeSD Jan 04 06:02:20 why does this work Jan 04 06:02:42 i am able to assign to those variables in those methods before they're declared Jan 04 06:03:03 C++ would make hell freeze over Jan 04 06:03:20 no one can help me with this icon? Jan 04 06:03:35 Well java is made with a lot of duct tape and super glue... Jan 04 06:03:56 so magic can happen Jan 04 06:04:25 zquad, https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/res/res/drawable-hdpi/ Jan 04 06:04:27 has all the icons Jan 04 06:05:14 right, i don't believe in any magic except magic strings, but i want to know why that works... is it a compile time thing Jan 04 06:05:27 bkboggy thanks, Jan 04 06:05:30 what line? Jan 04 06:05:38 what line what Jan 04 06:05:54 in your pastebin, where do I see the code specifically? Jan 04 06:06:04 oh, the entire thing Jan 04 06:06:06 there are 3 methods Jan 04 06:06:09 and 3 variables under Jan 04 06:06:31 i'm just trying to wrap my head around why i can declare varaibles after their use Jan 04 06:06:32 I think at compile time methods aren't actually visited until they are called Jan 04 06:06:49 it's been a few years since i've taken a java class... i remember there being a reason, just don't remember why Jan 04 06:07:10 bkboggy I dont see any issue Jan 04 06:07:19 all looks fine to me Jan 04 06:07:21 well, every other language i've used will throw an error Jan 04 06:07:30 if you use a variable before its declaration Jan 04 06:07:45 class member in java do not need to be in order Jan 04 06:07:45 so, it's not that there is an error, i want to know why java allows that Jan 04 06:07:48 as in, how it works Jan 04 06:08:04 the interpreter of the ide and the compile will allocate them first Jan 04 06:08:29 so if it encouters a method, it'll search through the entire code to find it? Jan 04 06:08:37 yes Jan 04 06:08:37 find variable used* Jan 04 06:08:40 hmm, k Jan 04 06:09:01 just like how any other language handles global variables Jan 04 06:09:16 class variables are global to methods Jan 04 06:09:42 hmm Jan 04 06:09:54 I should learn how java works Jan 04 06:10:07 yeah... java... i wasn't fond of it when i used it Jan 04 06:10:08 lol Jan 04 06:10:16 this is not related to java though, most other languages including php works like that Jan 04 06:10:24 but it's better for android development, eventhough i can do it with c# Jan 04 06:10:25 which i love Jan 04 06:10:44 well, C, C#, C++ are the ones I'm used to and... yeah, no bueno there Jan 04 06:10:47 bkboggy: i'm on the opposite end of the coin... Jan 04 06:10:48 it'll crach and burn Jan 04 06:10:55 crash* Jan 04 06:10:59 I don't like C# so much.. Jan 04 06:11:04 oh Jan 04 06:11:34 i like C though Jan 04 06:11:51 im partial to c# Jan 04 06:11:56 python is my favorite, to be honest, but the whole thing about compiling on the go... not so good for large-scale programs (look at Eve) Jan 04 06:13:14 python is a mixed demon for me... Jan 04 06:13:23 It feels like a deck of cards Jan 04 06:13:46 It's all fun and games until your pyramid comes crashing down Jan 04 06:14:03 zquad, would you happen to know where i can find some official information on that whole compile-time variable distribution, i've beeng googling for an hour and can't find anything Jan 04 06:14:23 mmmmmmm Jan 04 06:14:32 I kinda learn that in computer science class Jan 04 06:14:48 DarkSlay3r, yeah... it sucks when you don't find out that something is wrong with your program until deep down into it, whereas with other languages it would be an obviouse compile-time error Jan 04 06:14:55 I would pick up a computer science 1 book or some tutorial like that Jan 04 06:15:02 zquad, same here, but it's been a few years, so i want to find some solid info... ;/ Jan 04 06:15:19 haaaa Jan 04 06:15:22 you made me think Jan 04 06:15:29 i think i still have the book somewhere in the garage Jan 04 06:15:29 bkboggy: get one of those java certification books or training vids Jan 04 06:15:40 I remember reading related content Jan 04 06:16:00 bingo, it was on the shelf, starting out with java early objects fourth edition Jan 04 06:16:02 time to read Jan 04 06:16:03 lol Jan 04 06:16:20 There are lots of unintuitive quirks like that in Java Jan 04 06:16:57 Some of them can be safely ignored but the others make you want to chew a raw cat... Jan 04 06:16:59 well, i threw in the towel with java when i was trying to design a personnel management application for my office and my UI was going out-of-whack because of the way manager is setup Jan 04 06:17:24 bkboggy: If it's simple enough i just use eclipse SWT Jan 04 06:17:37 C# + WPF and a weekend is all i need these days Jan 04 06:17:57 but WPF can get frustrating at times too Jan 04 06:17:58 lol Jan 04 06:18:03 that is the one thing i envy about C# folk Jan 04 06:18:06 it needs more attention from MS Jan 04 06:18:17 Visual studio and the form designer Jan 04 06:18:28 oh, I don't do Forms Jan 04 06:18:35 i do Windows Presentation Foundation Jan 04 06:18:46 XAML + C# Jan 04 06:18:59 bkboggy have you done any WP dev yet ? Jan 04 06:19:07 soft of like Java SWT? i think, one of them is XML... can't remember which one, or is it FX... not sure Jan 04 06:19:34 g00s, you mean phone development? Jan 04 06:19:37 yes Jan 04 06:19:40 no Jan 04 06:20:01 been doing desktop applications Jan 04 06:20:14 one of my babies is about to go into beta Jan 04 06:20:18 so happy Jan 04 06:20:21 bkboggy: Java SWT - windowing tool Jan 04 06:20:44 You could also use JavaFX uses web stuff to build UI Jan 04 06:20:59 ah yes, JavaFX is the one that has XML, right? Jan 04 06:21:06 A bit Jan 04 06:21:14 Swing and SWT do not use it, i think Jan 04 06:21:19 no Jan 04 06:21:37 i only had a college semester of experience with it, so.. yeah, not a java expert ;) Jan 04 06:22:04 Swing is old and has not aged well imho Jan 04 06:22:13 heck, not an expert in anytihng... really, still working on AS in Computer Programming, got one class left Jan 04 06:22:32 bkboggy: I didn't do CS in college Jan 04 06:22:45 are you doing it for a living? Jan 04 06:22:46 So i'm not anything close to an expert Jan 04 06:23:02 I'm trying to Jan 04 06:23:11 i got lucky... very lucky Jan 04 06:24:02 Looks that way Jan 04 06:24:22 i was working for the same company i do now, and their network admin was doing a piss poor job of maintaing equipment... so i kind of mentioned that i am trying to become a software engineer, so they made me an offer and next thing i know i'm a network admin... then 2 months later i'm a programmer, writing .net applications for them Jan 04 06:24:44 odd world Jan 04 06:25:18 Nice Jan 04 06:25:23 i'm trying to get my degree so that i can work for an actual dev company.. who knows how long this will last Jan 04 06:25:24 o.O Jan 04 06:25:49 I am trying to build a portfolio of apps Jan 04 06:26:09 which languages do you use? Jan 04 06:26:24 Java Jan 04 06:26:32 C Jan 04 06:27:16 two of the most popular ones, nice Jan 04 06:38:20 If I add javax.script.ScriptEngine will I need to include any additional licenses? Jan 04 06:41:20 later guys, off to eat Jan 04 07:09:57 <_genuser_> guys, onCreateOptionsMenu in a class fra1 extends Fragment which is being loading onto the activity isn't running. Jan 04 07:10:17 <_genuser_> doesn't a fragment have the option to add it's own items to the menu? Jan 04 07:19:47 so reading the logs on android studio isn't as neat as it was in Eclipse Jan 04 07:19:53 am I doing something wrong, or is it just shit Jan 04 07:20:05 <_genuser_> regrestting your eclipse defection!!! Jan 04 07:20:11 <_genuser_> *regretting Jan 04 07:20:23 <_genuser_> bet the eclipse devs are doing their muhaha .... Jan 04 07:20:34 * capella doubts Jan 04 07:20:41 lol Jan 04 07:20:44 Not regretting yet Jan 04 07:20:54 it's still using oodles less resources than eclipse, or at least appears to be Jan 04 07:21:00 because it doesn't freeze up as much as eclipse used to Jan 04 07:21:01 xD Jan 04 07:21:13 <_genuser_> anybody got any ideas about why I can't get a fragment to load it's menu along with the activity? Jan 04 07:24:11 <_genuser_> the fragment has a public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) which does a super.onCreateOptionsMenu, and then inflates it's own. Jan 04 07:29:07 Do people still use Tab listeners Jan 04 07:29:13 or tabs Jan 04 07:29:37 <_genuser_> I use teh t@bzzz Jan 04 07:29:43 <_genuser_> pager rather. Jan 04 07:29:44 Dicking around making a life counter app, probably noone here will have any idea what I'm talking about unless you play MTG Jan 04 07:29:46 http://imgur.com/IrSDslZ Jan 04 07:41:29 <_genuser_> where do you guys get image for your apps? Jan 04 07:41:39 <_genuser_> google free icons? Jan 04 08:31:11 Good day, how can I make a test project? Jan 04 08:32:44 if you are using gradle, test projects are no more Jan 04 08:33:14 you just add the test cases to the instrumentTest directory Jan 04 08:33:33 oh Jan 04 08:33:33 okay Jan 04 08:33:37 that's why, then Jan 04 08:33:39 in eclipse, and the old build system, there was a separate test project. Jan 04 08:34:09 so if I want to test a library, how do I create the necessary Activities? Jan 04 08:34:15 MockActivity ? Jan 04 08:34:44 hm, i never used MockActivity Jan 04 08:35:04 if you have a library, just write the tests the way you always would have Jan 04 08:35:13 I never have. Jan 04 08:35:14 but put them i the instrumenTests dir Jan 04 08:35:25 see the gradle examples for lots of that Jan 04 08:35:27 But I mean, I want to make custom views in this library. Jan 04 08:35:44 In the test I will have to put these inside some activities to instrument them, right? Jan 04 08:35:57 presumably Jan 04 08:36:46 damn it capella , ff mobile has too many weird issues Jan 04 08:36:55 Yay for interfaces Jan 04 08:37:04 So I tried to make some helper activity under instrumentTest but it of course it fails to instantiate it Jan 04 08:37:25 g00s: I didn't do it Jan 04 08:37:42 i hate having to use chrome :| Jan 04 08:37:47 Mine get caught in interation testing Jan 04 08:37:52 *integration Jan 04 08:37:56 Caught? Jan 04 08:38:04 I'm probably just doing something wrong. Jan 04 08:38:41 g00s: I love FF Mobile - it's gotten so much faster Jan 04 08:38:49 dont custom views have to have their own namespace marrrk Jan 04 08:38:50 and the new about:home UI is awesome Jan 04 08:39:08 yeah but its screwing up web pages Jan 04 08:39:17 Howso? Jan 04 08:39:21 g00s: can you elaborate? I don't see a problem with that. Jan 04 08:39:51 there used to be some weirdness with library projects and custom views, i think that was long ago though Jan 04 08:40:09 capella http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html Jan 04 08:40:38 the scrolling is all weird and FF wants to consider the page to be much further than the EOL Jan 04 08:40:42 thanks :) Jan 04 08:41:31 on chome, chrome mobile, FF desktop, there is no right border Jan 04 08:41:47 but in FF mobile, seems like it wants to make a huge right border, and smoosh all the text too small Jan 04 08:41:52 g00s: You're on the release version and see scrolling / page issues? Jan 04 08:41:58 yeah Jan 04 08:42:06 oh, thats the metaview maybe Jan 04 08:42:17 granted, this is a 55 page html page :) Jan 04 08:42:26 capella wut is the metaview Jan 04 08:43:32 I thing I bumped into once or twice and would have to go find but it helps define gecko layouts Jan 04 08:44:11 g00s: so I guess it can't start the activity because it is not in the manifest but you're saying that there is no need for a manifest anymore in Gradle, right? How do I work around this then? Jan 04 08:44:25 and I was only guessing since that's an unfamilar area on my part and I wouldn't mind reviewing the code for a contrived reason even ;) Jan 04 08:44:38 How would you store data (users, and information related to those users) on the Internet for usage on an Android app? Parse, maybe? Jan 04 08:45:18 autrilla: yeah if you don't wanna deal with storing DB data Jan 04 08:47:09 marrrk it should all work Jan 04 08:47:18 look at the gradle example, tictactoe Jan 04 08:47:21 GameView Jan 04 08:48:00 I can successfully test the Activities in my project. Just not the ones I create under instrumentTest/... Jan 04 08:48:21 hm.. what's the least power-wasting way to have an app that keeps a network connection established in the background? do I really need to hold a partial wakelock? Jan 04 08:49:10 (it needs to listen for data from the server) Jan 04 08:49:44 Zaba dont do it ;) Jan 04 08:49:55 g00s, yeah, but I need to Jan 04 08:50:07 your users will hate you :) Jan 04 08:50:12 g00s, not at all Jan 04 08:50:19 thats why there is stuff like gcm, etc Jan 04 08:50:32 this is pretty specialized stuff, the users know what they're getting into :P Jan 04 08:51:04 ok, well you asked the least power wasting way … no point then, full wakelock ahead ! Jan 04 08:51:30 just joking Jan 04 08:51:42 there was a class at the last i/o i thought that spoke to this ./.. Jan 04 08:52:28 https://developers.google.com/events/io/sessions/327864330 Jan 04 08:53:09 I'll look into this, thanks Jan 04 08:56:04 Hey guys, could someone, please please please, explain me how the following things work... Jan 04 08:56:21 I have class Parent1 - an Activity with some TextView and ProbressBar. And I have class Child1 - an AsyncTask, which can do some work in background. Lets say I created class Parent1, inside it I created an instance of Child1, and context was passed into it's constructor (thus Child1 knows context of Parent1). Jan 04 08:56:41 My question is what is the correct way to update the ProgressBar in Parent1 from inside of Child1? At the moment I did this: ((Parent1) context).handler.sendEmptyMessage(Parent1.STATUS_LOADING); Jan 04 08:56:46 But what if I will 2 instances: Parent1 and Parent2 will be working with the same Child1 - how do I update ProgressBar in Parent1 and Parent2 from within Child1? Jan 04 08:57:59 Is parse.com intelligent enough to handle an ArrayList of custom Objects? Jan 04 09:46:08 g00s: read this earlier .... seems up your alley :D http://valverde.me/2014/01/03/reverse-engineering-my-bank%27s-security-token/ Jan 04 09:53:01 meh - he bailed Jan 04 10:27:57 Can Picasso read byte[] to get images? Jan 04 10:28:02 no Jan 04 10:28:08 hello Jan 04 10:28:27 is there some kind of central repository of android libraries that one can use? like ruby-toolbox.com ? Jan 04 10:28:29 JakeWharton, what can I do to load an image I get from Parse.com? Jan 04 10:28:47 give it a URL. why do you have a byte[] already? Jan 04 10:28:59 JakeWharton, parse gives you a byte[ Jan 04 10:29:08 oh Jan 04 10:29:09 nvm Jan 04 10:42:18 I'm getting data from the internet, and I want to populate a ListView with it. I want the ListView to populate as the data downloads, with no need for a spinning wheel Jan 04 10:42:24 How can I do that? Jan 04 10:43:54 volley Jan 04 10:44:37 storkme, I'm using Parse.com Jan 04 10:45:06 btw, what's up with all that connect/disconnect flood? Jan 04 10:58:20 maybe I'm just doing it wrong. http://pastebin.com/FzDX2SJp Jan 04 10:58:33 Should I get the data on my Fragment or on the Adapter? Jan 04 11:22:31 What's wrong today? Jan 04 11:22:34 Ah, it's saturday Jan 04 11:31:23 Saturday night here :) Jan 04 11:32:36 Meh, I guess I'll have to post questions on stackoverflow Jan 04 11:35:22 i eat questions for breakfastt Jan 04 11:37:21 i'm kind of confused by the options for injecting stuff. there's Roboguice+android-annotations, and then there's Dagger+Butterknife? Jan 04 11:37:32 what is "stuff" Jan 04 11:37:51 dagger and butter knife are libraries. roboguice and android-annotations are frameworks Jan 04 11:38:59 well, i'm transitioning from server to client-side after around 5 years of not doing any UI work. when I did UI work it was building crazy desktop environments at the scale of things like Visual Studio for the enterprise. We built a lot of what I see people perceive as essential today :) Jan 04 11:39:00 ahh dagger...big fan :) Jan 04 11:39:23 pellis: i'm biased as to what's essential :) Jan 04 11:39:34 so, in short "stuff" is everything that would make me write less code and have less bugs, and make better decoupling Jan 04 11:41:40 JakeWharton, so, dagger and BK are explicit alternatives to roboguice and annotations? Jan 04 11:41:51 yes and no Jan 04 11:41:55 dagger is an alternative to guice Jan 04 11:42:21 roboguice is (shocker) built on guice with a bunch of other android-isms and a grab bag of things they think are useful Jan 04 11:42:22 didn't guice get abandoned? Jan 04 11:42:37 no. it just had v4 RC1 a couple months ago Jan 04 11:42:53 guice is absolutely awful on Android Jan 04 11:43:00 do roboguice even have a 'recommended' tag-along of taking android-annotations with it? or do they clash? Jan 04 11:43:31 didn't you guys get a guice dev to work on dagger? Jan 04 11:43:40 bankai_: Bob Lee and Jesse Wilson Jan 04 11:43:59 the creator of Guice/JSR330 and Guice v2, respectively Jan 04 11:45:37 although Bob only served an advisory role Jan 04 11:45:41 (on Dagger) Jan 04 11:47:28 JakeWharton, so for a guy like me, jumping into the water - should I take RG or dagger as DI? Jan 04 11:47:30 I am lost here Jan 04 11:47:41 What is all this sorcery you speak of Jan 04 11:47:55 in other words - is Dagger aimed at the more experienced battle scarred RoboGuice developer? Jan 04 11:47:56 autrilla, it seems someone is spamming channels Jan 04 11:48:37 pellis: Dagger is better than Guice in every way for developing on Android except it's a tiny bit more verbose in declaring dependencies Jan 04 11:49:19 JakeWharton, i'm all in for explicit injection. i see implicit injection as bad practice. Jan 04 11:49:25 I'm getting constant CTCP VERSION DoS attempt :) Jan 04 11:50:11 JakeWharton, also, as an experienced (and old, and lazy) developer, this is the kind of things I like seeing - https://github.com/pyricau/shipfaster Jan 04 11:52:11 yeah so Butter Knife started as a giant joke for all the people complaining that Dagger didn't have "view injection" Jan 04 11:52:37 but it turns out it was a fun project to mess around with and it actually wound up being useful Jan 04 11:52:45 now it's in all of our apps Jan 04 11:52:54 haha is that right? Jan 04 11:52:59 that's my favourite kind of punchline Jan 04 11:53:38 it's pure boilerplate reduction. nothing magical. just kills findViewById calls and setOnClickListener calls Jan 04 11:53:45 JakeWharton, square has several apps? Jan 04 11:53:50 four Jan 04 11:53:56 well, three public apps Jan 04 11:54:58 cool. Jan 04 11:57:01 JakeWharton, i also noticed you guys use Maven religiously - think Gradle is ought to pick up now after Android Studio backing? Jan 04 11:57:13 it's also funny how Gradle just sat in a dark corner until now Jan 04 11:57:27 nah we've been on Gradle since 0.1 internally on three apps Jan 04 11:57:51 we used Maven before because there was no alternative Jan 04 12:00:17 How to i get the 1px border at the bottom of the actionbar Jan 04 12:00:23 so open source work gets Maven? Jan 04 12:00:33 btw - is Droidcon the leading android convention? Jan 04 12:01:13 pellis: existing stuff does because it's easy. new libs will probably be Gradle. and some will be migrated when it's necessary Jan 04 12:01:57 never been to Droidcon so I can't say Jan 04 12:02:50 i mean get rid of the 1px border at the bottom of the action bar Jan 04 12:02:55 i'm wondering what kind of conf i can download videos from. i want to focus how android is done today (modern testing, libs, UI etc) to accelerate development Jan 04 12:03:05 DarkSlay3r: that's the action bar background Jan 04 12:03:18 set it to null in code or @null in your styles Jan 04 12:05:09 I don't get the question. Jan 04 12:05:10 your adapter determines what is rendered in the listview Jan 04 12:05:11 when you need to update the content, make sure your adapter data is udpated and call notifyOnDatasetChanged() Jan 04 12:05:34 pellis: the one i go to is Devoxx and they post videos on parleys.com. it just happened though so all the latest videos are not free yet Jan 04 12:05:49 i'm heading to sleep. later Jan 04 12:05:51 JakeWharton, thanks! Jan 04 12:14:31 Why the heck does parse give me the URL of an image with a / before the actual URL? Duh Jan 04 12:17:22 anyone knows how to test/debug pre-installed apps such as Contacts app ? Jan 04 12:18:04 I have modified some code on that apps ? but dont know how to test ? just simple as replace the app in /system/apps ? Jan 04 12:31:16 is it normal for two appwidgets to share a RemoteViewsFactory? Jan 04 12:31:43 if I add two instances of my widget, it seems to me that my RemoteViewsService.RemoteViewsFactory is only created once Jan 04 12:42:25 makes sense, rvs are services Jan 04 12:43:59 hey i have a question regarding OAuth. i wanna build a OAuth handler in my app so it can work with the our company application server via OAuth. so should use a android client library for it? Jan 04 12:45:47 omid8bimo look at the: play services lib Jan 04 12:46:10 im a girl Jan 04 12:46:15 Hello. I asked this morning already, but there wasn't really a satisfying resolution of the issue. This is what I want to do: A library project in the Gradle layout style. I also want to include some instrumentation tests. Now what I don't get how to do is exclude all the test stuff from the release of the library project. Jan 04 12:47:03 bankai_: which section exactly? Jan 04 12:48:37 can anyone assist me with a stupid newbie question: I have a spinner, which i populated with string array via android:entries . Everything looks great, I only need to hook an array adapter. However when I do so with the examples shown by google, the font color goes from black to white which makes it invisible Jan 04 12:48:44 bankai_: if you meant play_services/auth -- that requires a google account. i want to build something stand alone to work with my application server's oauth php implementation. Jan 04 12:49:04 Did anyone face similar error when starting to work with Gradle?.. https://db.tt/7twL8T2p Jan 04 12:49:11 omid8bimo: We are using XAuth and it works Jan 04 12:50:03 Without too much hassle. Of course there is a lot of stupid stuff that needs to be done because it's Java, but aside from that it's almost easy. Jan 04 12:50:55 marrrk: let me search on that Jan 04 12:51:15 So the jars are signpost-commonshttp4-1.2.1.2.jar signpost-core-1.2.1.2.jar spring-android-auth-1.0.1.RELEASE.jar and spring-android-core-1.0.1.RELEASE.jar Jan 04 12:52:57 marrrk: so its spring? Jan 04 12:53:11 Probably, I didn't do that part. Jan 04 12:53:33 I just took out the two necessary classes once for a spin-off project. Jan 04 12:54:18 marrrk: ok but i cant find anything related to android aouth implementation called xuath Jan 04 12:54:42 https://dev.twitter.com/docs/oauth/xauth Jan 04 12:55:48 marrrk: oh! its for twitter! Jan 04 12:56:06 No, it's not. Twitter came up with oAuth, you know? Jan 04 12:56:52 marrrk: yeah right! that makes sense :) Jan 04 12:57:11 so xauth is general enough to be used in android projects? Jan 04 12:57:29 It depends on your use case. Are you sure you know what you want to do in the first place? Jan 04 13:01:23 marrrk: yeah. the php developrs have implemented OAuth in main application server, so now the android app must be authenticated via oauth Jan 04 13:01:59 Quote: "The xAuth process will only yield read-only or read-write access tokens. Direct message read access is not provided with xAuth. If your application requires access to a user's direct messages, you will need to use the full OAuth flow." Jan 04 13:02:24 so i was reading about oauth and got wondering if i should use a library like spring for it or i can just extends a class in android sdk and write my own oauth class? Jan 04 13:02:57 You can do both. Personally, I would not enjoy the second option very much. Jan 04 13:04:11 i don't get it. android library has oauth support - http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/auth.html Jan 04 13:05:47 fmj47: yeah but as far as i know, that need a valid google account Jan 04 13:06:05 fmj47: From what I understand, that is only to log in somewhere with a Google Account not with an account on your own server. Jan 04 13:06:08 im my case, users have a valid account in my application server and should not be linked to google account Jan 04 13:06:32 marrrk: precisely Jan 04 13:07:05 hmm quick googling and found this :http://blog.doityourselfandroid.com/2011/09/05/integrate-foursquare-android-application/ Jan 04 13:07:42 That seems to be equivalent to the Play Services with the difference that now it's foursquare. Jan 04 13:07:47 looks to be using the library for a non google service Jan 04 13:10:50 Maybe, you're right, I didn't have a close look at it. Jan 04 13:20:55 Weird stuff, picasso doesn't show the placeholder. My code: Picasso.with(mContext).load(object.getImage().getUrl()).placeholder(new ColorDrawable(object.getColor())).into(imageView); Jan 04 13:57:46 I have a ImageView inside a RelativeLayout inside a RelativeLayout and I need the position of the image in the activity. I tired some things like getLeft(), getPaddingLeft()... but it always returns 0 Jan 04 13:59:02 uh Jan 04 13:59:07 what does first thing have to do with other? Jan 04 13:59:11 how are you trying to position it? Jan 04 14:05:23 Can anyone here help me with Parse? Jan 04 14:13:30 hi guys, Jan 04 14:14:00 is there any built in way to show the date name inside a DatePickerFragment (which extends DialogFragment) ? Jan 04 14:18:35 Mavrik, I have a layout with the image, it is positioned with layout_alignParentRight Jan 04 14:19:47 Mavrik, I am trying to create an splash screen with property animations Jan 04 14:23:36 Mavrik, there are two images and I want to "move" (changing x value) the first image so that it overlays with the second therefore I need the position of the second image Jan 04 14:23:59 nmhm Jan 04 14:24:08 djangonoob, use viewtreeobserver on your parent view Jan 04 14:24:14 and do calculations after global layout Jan 04 14:24:17 hello guys; i created an xmppconnection with asmack...how can i passt the connection from activity to activitiy? Jan 04 14:24:28 since the values for positions, sizes, etc. are only populated after layout is done on those elements Jan 04 14:24:42 aruscher, don't. Separate connection stuff from activities. Jan 04 14:25:19 Can anyone help with this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20922152/get-relational-data-with-parse Jan 04 14:25:20 Mavrik: my only idea is to create an static class which holds all the information stuff .... Jan 04 14:25:32 *connection Jan 04 14:25:38 aruscher, create a 1.) Service 2.) Singleton 3.) static class Jan 04 14:25:47 then call it from activities Jan 04 14:26:16 Mavrik: Service looks too complicated -.- Jan 04 14:27:52 you poor thing. Jan 04 14:28:03 Mavrik: :P Jan 04 14:41:39 Mavrik, any idea how to change the "Set date" to the current date, or anything else inside DatePickerDialog ? Jan 04 14:44:41 tonySoprano9099: may you should look at System.getCurrentTimeMillis() in Combination with the Calendar Class Jan 04 14:45:09 aruscher, i am already doing that, and able to get the name of the day in my textview, Jan 04 14:45:23 I just want to change the title of the dialogfragment real time Jan 04 14:45:54 aruscher, i got some leads, im working on them, i'll update asap Jan 04 14:46:15 tonySoprano9099: does this help ? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5193722/how-to-set-the-title-of-dialogfragment Jan 04 14:47:20 aruscher, possible. lemme check. Jan 04 14:47:40 aruscher, indeed, this was the method i was trying anyhow. thanks. Jan 04 14:49:30 Relational mapping is a hassle Jan 04 14:49:41 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20922152/get-relational-data-with-parse Jan 04 14:49:44 Any help anyone? Jan 04 14:49:54 aruscher, however, i am getting null pointers, as i am inside an activity. Jan 04 15:04:30 i have a v4.support.ViewPager in a Fragment and when I click back the ViewPager's child fragments aren't being stopped/destroyed. wtf am i missing? Jan 04 15:07:43 you need to kill them Jan 04 15:09:10 great, can you elaborate? Jan 04 15:09:35 my understanding is their lifecycle is managed by the FragmentViewStateAdapter I'm using Jan 04 15:09:42 via FragmentManager Jan 04 15:10:55 *FragmentStatePagerAdapter Jan 04 15:41:00 Hmmm.. I go to Build -> Generate signed APK on Android Studio and Google Play tells me it's debuggable Jan 04 15:44:48
