**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 08 02:59:59 2014 Jan 08 03:10:58 desmin88: This you want? 01-07 22:09:48.350 1158-1158/com.kjetilp.flytider3 W/UnimplementedWebViewApi﹕ Unimplemented WebView method onKeyDown called from: android.webkit.WebView.onKeyDown(WebView.java:2169) ........... Jan 08 03:11:27 if thats the stacktrace that occurs when your app crashes, ye Jan 08 03:12:48 Full output, from where it's crash http://pastebin.com/Z2cRjXBY Jan 08 03:15:52 paste the relevant code please Jan 08 03:16:14 is there a way to get a unique ID for a record? I google and all articles are about the Mobile ID... I dont want that Jan 08 03:18:10 no it is impossible to do that sorry Jan 08 03:24:22 sorry... let me rephrase that question... I want to create a unique ID... is there an API that will do this? what is the term I should be googling? Jan 08 03:25:03 uhh Jan 08 03:25:10 "java create a unique id" Jan 08 03:26:09 yep... that worked... Jan 08 03:26:26 think before you press enter Jan 08 03:26:27 heh :) Jan 08 03:52:23 Any that have some time? I have a app, and when i push the "hardware" menu button on my S4 the app is force closes.. The app should not have any menu, so do not quite understand why it just force closes - Full output, from where it's crash http://pastebin.com/Z2cRjXBY Jan 08 03:56:45 If I have a broadcast reciever declared in activity code that I want to continue to get broadcasts when the activity onPause has been called, where should I unregister the reciever/ Jan 08 03:57:25 well definitely not in unpause Jan 08 03:57:43 apekatt: null pointer @ at android.support.v7.app.ActionBarImplICS.getThemedContext(ActionBarImplICS.java:287) Jan 08 03:57:50 oops Jan 08 03:58:53 desmin88 yeah, but onpause is the only shutdown callback garunteed to be called Jan 08 03:59:55 onstop or ondestroy? Jan 08 04:00:15 not garunteed to be called Jan 08 04:00:27 eventually they will be Jan 08 04:00:47 i think you're misguided here Jan 08 04:01:11 protected void onStop () Note that this method may never be called, in low memory situations where the system does not have enough memory to keep your activity's process running after its onPause() method is called. Jan 08 04:01:43 that's true, but they are usually called Jan 08 04:01:56 you can use ondestroy Jan 08 04:02:01 same deal Jan 08 04:02:09 you are misguised Jan 08 04:02:09 here are situations where the system will simply kill the activity's hosting process without calling this method (or any others) in it, so it should not be used to do things that are intended to remain around after the process goes away.' Jan 08 04:02:11 so how critical is it Jan 08 04:02:14 misguided Jan 08 04:02:16 straight from the docs Jan 08 04:02:22 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onDestroy() Jan 08 04:02:36 well the app will crash if the reciever is not unregistered when it is destroyed Jan 08 04:02:39 You want your activity to get broadcasts even when its onPause has been called right? Jan 08 04:02:44 yeah Jan 08 04:02:50 So don't unregister in onpause Jan 08 04:02:54 unregister in ondestroy Jan 08 04:03:06 yes Jan 08 04:03:26 doesn't that leave it open to crashing ~.1% of the time? Jan 08 04:03:29 no Jan 08 04:03:39 but onDestroy not garunteed to be called? Jan 08 04:03:43 yes it is Jan 08 04:04:02 desmin: how do you know? I am just reading straight from the docs: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onDestroy() Jan 08 04:04:09 gaurenteed in the way that it won't ever not be called when it needs to be Jan 08 04:04:12 it is NOT guaranteed to be called Jan 08 04:04:42 but it USUALLY is Jan 08 04:04:45 If ondestroy is not called, that means the activity is still 'alive' and therefore it is okay to still be receiving your broadcasts Jan 08 04:05:43 if your app just gets killed without anything being called to clean it up, your broadcast receivers are essentially u'nregistered' Jan 08 04:05:52 so you're fine Jan 08 04:06:05 when the system normally terminates your app for being in the background and it needs resources, it will be called. only in rare circumstances will it not be called Jan 08 04:06:46 and in those circumstances you're still fine because the process is killed, it cant receive broadcasts Jan 08 04:06:56 right Jan 08 04:06:58 thanks Jan 08 04:14:51 lasserix: Fairly new on the development to Android. Can you explain a little more? Jan 08 04:19:51 Hi. I am dynamically adding buttons to a linear layout, but only the first button is being added. The code I am using is http://pastebin.ca/2531556 - can anyone see if I am missing something obvious that would be causing this to happen? Jan 08 04:22:39 check the size of your list perhaps? Jan 08 04:22:44 see if you have more than 1, heh Jan 08 04:25:37 ir7466: try to wrap the width Jan 08 04:26:02 I figured it out. the linear layout was set to horizontal instead of vertical Jan 08 04:26:08 it was appearing on top of each other Jan 08 04:31:09 lasserix: Fairly new on the development to Android. Can you explain a little more? Jan 08 04:32:40 I have one follow up question. Setting a button dynamically as in the pastebin above, how to I set the bottom margin to 20dp? Jan 08 04:44:08 Is all here dead? Jan 08 04:44:22 yes i am de ad Jan 08 04:46:54 If I make the parameters for the button a LinearLayout.LayoutParams.......then set .bottomMargin to 20... no luck Jan 08 04:57:28 is www.testflightapp.com off line? Jan 08 04:57:39 I'm not dead Jan 08 04:57:42 I'm undead Jan 08 04:58:25 IrishGringo: no... Jan 08 04:58:30 never mind... its back up Jan 08 04:59:04 actually... its running really slow Jan 08 05:02:36 apekatt you are doing some fairly complicated stuff Jan 08 05:02:48 webview and opengl etc etc Jan 08 05:08:05 lasserix: This fixed it: http://pastebin.com/rWVXg8ra :) Jan 08 05:08:39 ahh yeah that's the idea of using log cat great! Jan 08 05:10:29 Never considered that it was the solution, but adding it did the trick so :) Jan 08 05:11:00 * apekatt is now publishing on Play.. Jan 08 05:11:09 that's what logcat was telling you 01-07 22:09:48.350 1158-1158/com.kjetilp.flytider3 W/UnimplementedWebViewApi﹕ Unimplemented WebView method onKeyDown called from: android.webkit.WebView.onKeyDown(WebView.java:2169) Jan 08 05:12:24 apekatt what's the app? Jan 08 05:27:36 <_genuser_> guys, I have a framelayout with fragments loaded in there. How do I keep those save thru screen rotation? Jan 08 05:27:56 <_genuser_> the types of fragment that are loaded depends on what was selected from the nav drawer. Jan 08 05:28:22 <_genuser_> so the framelayout could have OneFragment, TwoFragment, ThreeFragment, etc. all extending Fragment. Jan 08 05:28:42 tbh thats a super easy googleable question Jan 08 05:29:00 but if you must know, setRetainInstance(true) but don't use that without understanding its implications Jan 08 05:29:18 <_genuser_> I am googling. I have set setRetainInstance(true); to true already in each fragment's onCreate(). Jan 08 05:29:43 so you're recreating your views in oncreateview Jan 08 05:29:48 <_genuser_> so the effects of setTitle() are retained. However the actual fragment isn't. Jan 08 05:29:48 which is probably resetting all of your stuff Jan 08 05:30:18 what isnt being retained Jan 08 05:30:22 <_genuser_> right, so I think then I should in my class have a reference to the currently loaded fragment, and save i Jan 08 05:30:27 <_genuser_> *it Jan 08 05:30:46 <_genuser_> so I can then do if(savedInstanceState !=null) check in onCreateView. Jan 08 05:31:06 <_genuser_> does that sound like I have a half decent understanding of how this needs to be approached? Jan 08 05:31:11 no Jan 08 05:31:50 <_genuser_> :). ok, how do I restore a view in onCreateView if onCreateView is being called due to a screen rotate? Jan 08 05:32:15 what parts of the view arent being restored Jan 08 05:32:26 <_genuser_> fragment that is in the FrameLayout. Jan 08 05:32:44 what Jan 08 05:33:02 what parts of the view inside your fragment are not being restored Jan 08 05:33:03 if i have a linearlayout and i want one view to take up all available vertical space, what to i set the layout_height to? Jan 08 05:33:18 ir7466: google Jan 08 05:33:55 <_genuser_> desmin88: the fragment itself is completely recreated. nothing is retained. However, the type of fragment that is loaded is also not retained. Jan 08 05:34:11 just show me the code Jan 08 05:35:11 <_genuser_> layout: http://pastebin.com/fJK7ePPH Jan 08 05:38:19 Ahhhhhh...... You need to use a different version code for your APK because you already have one with version code 1... But i have " android:versionCode="3" Jan 08 06:05:30 desmin88, how nice to see you here :) Jan 08 06:06:43 a question. if I'm adding an unknown number of buttons dynamically, how should i assign an onclick event to them? Jan 08 06:07:03 obviously I would just need one method that gets called, preferably the button that was clicked passed in as a parameter Jan 08 06:08:32 LewsTherin: hehe Jan 08 06:08:44 ir7466: at button creation, set a listener Jan 08 06:12:20 Ahhhhhh...... You need to use a different version code for your APK because you already have one with version code 1... But i have " android:versionCode="3" - Any ide? Jan 08 06:23:54 Where can I find the source code for the zoom/pan enabled ImageView in the Android gallery app? Jan 08 06:24:47 ir7466: at button creation, set a listener ....... yes, but how do you set the id to a text name dynamically? Jan 08 06:25:04 Rather than just an int, which seems to be the case on the stackoverflow articles I've read and seems a bit sloppy Jan 08 06:29:56 just listening for connectivitybroadcastreciever is a drain on the battery? Jan 08 06:30:40 question, is the value returned from Sensor.getPower() accurate, is it actually being measured or is it just a stored value in a table somewhere? Jan 08 06:41:26 hello! Jan 08 06:43:04 i have a RuntimeException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first. Jan 08 06:44:35 this is interesting, because i remove the view from his parent before add to another group: http://pastebin.com/duJ3BFzb Jan 08 06:45:45 anybody can help to me? Jan 08 06:49:36 have you tried it without the invalidate calls? Jan 08 06:49:46 not sure that it matters though Jan 08 06:51:17 dab command not found even though I CD'ed into the platform-tools folder on a mac? Jan 08 06:51:21 *adb Jan 08 06:51:39 ./adb Jan 08 06:52:27 ahh Jan 08 06:52:34 I also tried /.adb Jan 08 06:52:34 thanks Jan 08 06:52:35 rdnt, yes, i tried few fix, the invalidate is my last try Jan 08 06:52:49 Thanks Jan 08 06:53:35 rdnt, and the code is working good in my all test device Jan 08 06:53:58 this is a production app, so i dont know what can i do Jan 08 06:54:29 you could make a deep copy of breaking Jan 08 06:54:44 but there must be a better way Jan 08 06:55:21 SimonVT: I pulled the battery files under battery and they work! Jan 08 06:55:32 They have a lot of information I'm going to go through them to see if they have what I need Jan 08 06:59:58 rdnt, this is in onCreate method in my activity, this is the first block after setContent() Jan 08 07:10:24 Where can I find the source code for the zoom/pan enabled ImageView in the Android gallery app? Jan 08 07:14:33 aosp i believe Jan 08 07:15:59 napster: grepcode Jan 08 07:16:52 napster: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android-apps/4.0.1_r1/com/android/gallery3d/app/Gallery.java Jan 08 07:16:57 that is a good starting point Jan 08 07:17:20 thanks guys thepoosh desmin88 Jan 08 07:17:59 yw Jan 08 07:43:50 Hmm, looks like the android gallery3d app's imageview uses OpenGL extensively. Jan 08 07:47:06 napster: in order to implement zoom you have to either use SurfaceView or OpenGL Jan 08 07:48:04 thepoosh: I see Jan 08 07:48:32 thepoosh: I came across this http://developer.android.com/training/animation/zoom.html Jan 08 07:48:40 But this is not exactly what I'm looking for Jan 08 07:48:41 napster: look at this Jan 08 07:48:42 https://github.com/sephiroth74/ImageViewZoom Jan 08 07:49:12 thepoosh: ok, let me check Jan 08 07:49:18 kk Jan 08 07:49:35 in general you should search google for "pinch to zoom" Jan 08 07:50:26 thepoosh: Yeah! I came across a number of Stackoverflow questions. Jan 08 07:50:34 coolz Jan 08 07:50:36 have fun Jan 08 07:51:07 thepoosh: Thanks for the pointers. Jan 08 07:51:43 pleasure Jan 08 08:04:33 you can't just use a matrix object in canvas to do that? Jan 08 08:11:57 bze Jan 08 08:12:06 *bye Jan 08 08:23:11 hi, is it possible to set a static field to the value of an enum, and then reference the value of that static field in a switch? Jan 08 08:24:45 say you have an inner class public enum Test { TEST1, TEST 2 }, and you have a public final static Test MY_VAL = Test.TEST1; for example. Could I then use MY_VAL in a switch? Jan 08 08:26:04 reason I ask is if I try it I get "The static field should be accessed in a static way" ? Jan 08 08:26:33 which I sort of understand, but I need to use the MY_VAL value because it's essentially a config value Jan 08 08:26:34 it may change Jan 08 08:26:48 so I can't reference the enum type directly, I need to reference it through that MY_VAL value Jan 08 08:31:52 case your_root_class.Test.TEST1 ? Jan 08 08:33:21 ah Jan 08 08:33:23 sorry Jan 08 08:43:32 does anyone have exprience with developing on udoo? Jan 08 08:46:01 youdoo ! Jan 08 08:46:04 :) Jan 08 08:46:09 haha, do you? Jan 08 08:46:16 never heard of it Jan 08 08:46:25 http://www.udoo.org/getting-started/ Jan 08 08:46:34 it's a very small microchip containing everything needed for developing Jan 08 08:46:59 wow, looks cool Jan 08 08:47:03 interesting project Jan 08 08:47:23 Yeah. There are several modules and can run Android or ubuntu Jan 08 08:49:51 hello guys Jan 08 08:50:39 Ill purchase one (+external display) and let you guys know about the status Jan 08 08:51:51 I have an app that works fine on almost all devices, except galaxy note 2 Jan 08 08:52:00 arca! :D Jan 08 08:52:24 misterli, talking to me ? Jan 08 08:52:28 acra, yes Jan 08 08:52:44 what acra ? Jan 08 08:53:47 It let you debug/get all information why an app crashes/throws exceptions Jan 08 08:55:10 I dont have a note 2 device :/ Jan 08 08:55:37 I tested it with my friends, and he is 4000 kms away. Jan 08 08:55:47 misterli: That thing looks great, proabbly going to order one Jan 08 08:56:09 misterli, I'm used with other android powered boards like Cubieboard and Wandboard but udoo is very interesting Jan 08 08:56:09 yes. But i couldnt figure out if it contains a sim-card slot Jan 08 08:56:43 tonySoprano9099, not sure but i guess genymotion has an emulator for note 2 Jan 08 08:57:12 misterli, it doesnt. it has note1, and note3. Jan 08 08:57:22 both of which show a black screen :/ s4 works though. Jan 08 08:57:46 Yeah,but what does exactly not work? Display an activity/layout? Using the Camera? Jan 08 08:58:00 an activity causes ANR. Jan 08 08:58:11 Code? ANR? Jan 08 08:58:14 actually, the phone blacksout for 4,5 seconds Jan 08 08:58:28 Probably just missing "extra" manifest permissions and/or configurations Jan 08 08:58:36 tonySoprano9099, try to get ADB access using remote connection Jan 08 08:58:40 then recontinues for some time,,, then reblacks out and causes anr Jan 08 08:59:01 shineworld, never done that. Jan 08 08:59:02 if your friend can share device for a while Jan 08 08:59:08 but seems a nice idea. Jan 08 08:59:51 usually collecting anr should be rather enough Jan 08 09:00:09 just enable adb debug over TCP and ask friend to *link port 5555 of device routed by router Jan 08 09:00:16 misterli, you are right Jan 08 09:00:17 2 nice ideas. huge companies use the acra thing apparently. Jan 08 09:00:25 shineworld, he is not a geek. so that'll be hard i guess. Jan 08 09:01:03 try to paste ANR Jan 08 09:02:17 I will. Jan 08 09:02:24 but this is a huge dissapointment. Jan 08 09:02:37 iOS devs do not have these type of hassle. Jan 08 09:02:45 have other.... Jan 08 09:02:52 well, do you want to compare object c with java? :D Jan 08 09:03:00 there are literally tens of variations of android :/ Jan 08 09:03:07 yes Jan 08 09:03:09 misterli, hehehe, ofcourse no :D Jan 08 09:03:34 coding iOS is a pain. Learning it, is horrible. Java is easy and takes fun :D Jan 08 09:03:35 life is a bit--h :) but that make it wonderful Jan 08 09:03:43 misterli, im updating the genymotion, apparently there is an update, might fix the note2 emulator thing. Jan 08 09:03:52 shineworld, true that. Jan 08 09:04:35 anyway, it may happen that genymotion does not throw the bug. Think about the arm/cpu which is not "native" Jan 08 09:04:54 misterli, lets just keep optimistic until the test time :P Jan 08 09:06:06 time to take a coffe here ... tonySoprano9099 if you can put the ANR in a debianpaste ... Jan 08 09:06:34 haha, yea. Time to take some Ritalin to get awake Jan 08 09:06:54 I already had 3 since morning. Jan 08 09:07:42 shineworld, ill see what i can do. Jan 08 09:12:16 btw guys, is there any native way of adding an X button on the far right of edittext, or I need to do it manually ? Jan 08 09:23:05 uhm.... you have to create a new widget which do that or find one in net Jan 08 09:23:24 ah Jan 08 09:23:58 your question can have multiple replies Jan 08 09:23:58 shineworld, yeps appears so. Jan 08 09:24:15 i'll probably extend a view Jan 08 09:24:58 for example I have a lot of TextView + EditText combo so I've created a my new component to better accomplishe the thing... Jan 08 09:25:30 but I'm a bad programmer because 99% I live in Delphi world Jan 08 09:25:36 shineworld, appears I need to do the same. no escape. Jan 08 09:25:39 shineworld, dont say that. Jan 08 09:27:20 shineworld, there are quite ready made stuff for this on the net. Jan 08 09:28:44 yeah... android framework extra libs is growing a lot Jan 08 09:28:56 thats the thing with open source. Jan 08 09:29:39 everybody takes everything and does things. Jan 08 09:29:57 open source = good functionality, bad design (interface wise) Jan 08 09:34:09 I'm using Android to do HMI for industial using opensource products like olimex A20 or cubieboard cb2 and to have a full opensource system get me a lot of advantages Jan 08 09:35:20 very good, how is it going ? Jan 08 09:36:28 very well.... prototypes working fine and without stop by months (after some modifies to kernel and android OS) Jan 08 09:37:00 the only bad beast was Android Open Accessory Mode Jan 08 09:37:18 which have a very low maturity level (at IMO) Jan 08 09:40:14 shineworld i see. all the best :))) Jan 08 09:40:43 on a totally different not, im banging my head to my the latest version of genymotion to work with my current version of virtualbox Jan 08 09:41:06 I think i need to restart. brb. Jan 08 09:42:50 unfortunately all my machines are running vmware fusion so I never tried genymotion which require virtualbox. Jan 08 09:43:05 to run vmware fusion and virtualbox in same host isn't a good idea Jan 08 09:43:55 some friend of mine is using it and is very happy of performances Jan 08 09:49:23 shineworld, em, you can run both VMWare and Vbox on same host Jan 08 09:49:33 you just can't have VMs active at the same time. Jan 08 09:51:48 SURE ? sound very good .... but what about net adapters ? Jan 08 09:52:19 PS: I'm running on MAC OS X Jan 08 09:53:06 shineworld install your vbox in your vmware :P Jan 08 09:53:17 so you can have your android in your vbox in your vmware Jan 08 09:53:41 a sec to better understand: Jan 08 09:54:21 I've a Mac OS X how host which run vmWare Fusion. I use a VM with xubuntu to develop android (I prefere to live in linux for android matter). Jan 08 09:54:28 Do I need a layout folder if I provide layout-land and layout-port ? Jan 08 09:55:07 so you suggest to install a vbox in xubuntu VM guest ? Jan 08 09:56:35 whats wrong with developing android apps on mac :| Jan 08 09:57:08 i actually find the IDEs to be much smoother on a mac Jan 08 09:58:10 shineworld, he's trolling. Jan 08 09:58:12 Develop pure Android apps works very fine with Mac OS X but I have often to rebuild android kernel and touch android OS sources (for my embedded android boards) so linux isn't a choice Jan 08 09:58:36 and I think it was pretty clear you're on OS X by mentioning VMWare Fusion ;) Jan 08 09:58:38 Mavrik, I thinkg so Jan 08 09:58:42 as I said, you can have both installed without problems Jan 08 09:58:48 you just can't have them running at the same time Jan 08 09:59:04 this evening I will try to do that :) Jan 08 09:59:22 thanks for suggestion Jan 08 10:07:25 should app settings be accessible from every activity? i couldnt find an answer for this in the design guide Jan 08 10:12:25 rhcake: i'd say no Jan 08 10:12:35 well it doesn't have to Jan 08 10:12:45 you can if you want to, but its not a requirement Jan 08 10:15:13 till api 17 should be possible with getSharedPreferences using WORLD_MODE_READABLE Jan 08 10:16:12 but is "deprecated" Jan 08 10:16:26 is it common at all to put settings only in the first activity? my settings would change the appearance of every activity so im hesitant to let the user access them from anywhere :/ Jan 08 10:29:31 omfg lol got my ndk stuff working. wtf Jan 08 10:29:49 you sound displeased by that :S Jan 08 10:30:25 supprised "{ Jan 08 10:30:27 :P even Jan 08 10:48:16 Hello! I'm using Android 4.4 and I have the swedish letters ÅÄÖ in some places in a database. The problem is that I can't manage to match ÅÄÖ with åäö. It works if I compare ÅÄÖ(db) with ÅÄÖ(query string). How can I make the comparison work? Jan 08 10:49:28 I've tried lower(column_name) LIKE 'åäö' Jan 08 10:55:52 kruxoman: what about String.equalsIgnoreCase()? Jan 08 10:57:12 kruxoman x10 Jan 08 11:00:28 Fisiu: Let me clarify. I'm searcging the database using a query. The equalsIgnoreCase wouldn't be helpfull unless I already have all the string from the database. Jan 08 11:00:38 thepoosh: What? :o Jan 08 11:00:55 lower is the way to go Jan 08 11:01:02 do you add wildcards? Jan 08 11:01:12 '%aaa%' Jan 08 11:01:35 Using this to format the query string Jan 08 11:01:37 String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "school_id = %d and (name LIKE '%s%%' or name LIKE '%% %s%%' or sign LIKE '%s%%')", Jan 08 11:01:37 schoolId, searchFor, searchFor, searchFor); Jan 08 11:02:26 the LIKE operator should be case insensitive what I've read Jan 08 11:04:54 Oh yes, a importanmt thing to mention is that I have only found this problem with android 4.4+ Jan 08 11:06:00 Might it have something to do with Locale? Might it behave different in Android 4.4? Jan 08 11:06:20 anyone ever had issues with gradle "Cause: from class com.android.build.gradle.BasePlugin" ? Jan 08 11:10:58 Do I still need a layout folder if I provide layout-land and layout-port? Jan 08 11:15:46 compac: it's good practice Jan 08 11:16:37 thepoosh, I don't understand under what circumstance would that be used Jan 08 11:17:10 doesn't matter, it's good practice to have defaults, like having the default in a switch case Jan 08 11:17:21 and anyway it would just be a copy of either land or port Jan 08 11:20:26 ffs this is so frustrating Jan 08 11:36:24 Hi Jan 08 11:36:37 Is there a way to make sure that my application only has 1 instance running? Jan 08 11:37:02 after i start it, if I press the home button, go to the menu and select it again, 2 instances start running Jan 08 11:59:29 i just created a new AVD (eclipse, mac) and when i run my app, it's just a black screen Jan 08 11:59:40 is there anything i need to do besides just make the AVD from the manager? Jan 08 12:03:38 www.genymotion.com Jan 08 12:28:06 Is there a way I can make sure only one instance of my application is running? Jan 08 12:30:54 only one instance of your app will only ever one Jan 08 12:30:56 run* Jan 08 12:33:57 CallumTaylor: but sometimes if I close one instance, another instance is running behind it Jan 08 12:34:22 even using singleInstance Jan 08 12:34:27 you mean an activity? Jan 08 12:34:32 not an application Jan 08 12:34:37 yes, sorry Jan 08 12:36:05 I have android:launchMode="singleTask" on the top of my Manifest, but this problem still happens Jan 08 12:37:24 try looking at http://www.intridea.com/blog/2011/6/16/android-understanding-activity-launchmode Jan 08 12:38:24 i will CallumTaylor Jan 08 12:45:43 CallumTaylor sup matey Jan 08 12:45:49 long time Jan 08 12:54:37 sup Jan 08 13:00:19 nm, chilling at work. Jan 08 13:23:12 Ahhh... You need to use a different version code for your APK because you already have one with version code 1... But i have " android:versionCode="3" - Any ide? Jan 08 13:29:58 Description Resource Path Location Type Jan 08 13:29:59 Unable to resolve target 'android-18' until the SDK is loaded. amazoniagideros Jan 08 13:30:03 what that means? Jan 08 13:30:26 I imported the project on eclipse and got that error, 3 times even (on the same project) Jan 08 13:32:46 what do you guys find more helpful: to have one instalation of eclipse with all sorts of plugins: java se, java ee, android... or separate eclipses? Jan 08 13:40:23 dhulke, 1 eclipse with all the plugins ofcourse. Jan 08 13:40:41 apekatt, production or debugging ? Jan 08 13:40:46 because I find it hard to manage everything later... Jan 08 13:40:58 I installed the python plugin but couldnt delete it later Jan 08 13:42:54 dhulke, well it depends on you,, how big the plugins are, etc.. Jan 08 13:44:01 ee plugin Jan 08 13:44:04 se plugin Jan 08 13:44:07 C plugin Jan 08 13:44:10 C++ plugin Jan 08 13:44:11 CallumTaylor, ever implemented an edittext (used for search) with an X or cancel, like ios ? Jan 08 13:44:20 ohhhh, those sort of plugins.. Jan 08 13:44:24 nope Jan 08 13:44:31 CallumTaylor k Jan 08 13:44:44 tonySoprano9099: Beta buld - Debugging off Jan 08 13:45:05 apekatt, what is ur exact question. Jan 08 13:53:02 tonySoprano9099: what about those kinds of plugins? Jan 08 13:53:13 tonySoprano9099: should I still have just one eclipse? Jan 08 13:58:30 well, i still prefer to have them all in 1 place. Jan 08 13:58:35 are they causing too much headache ? Jan 08 14:02:18 <_genuser_> is there any way to force onCreateView for a fragment to be executed. Before a second function is called? Jan 08 14:02:56 _genuser_: what do you mean by, "before a second function is called?" Jan 08 14:04:06 <_genuser_> alexfu: a extends Fragment. Then in main: getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_fame, new a()).commit(); Jan 08 14:04:09 <_genuser_> then a.updateView(); Jan 08 14:04:42 <_genuser_> problem is updateView is run when onCreateView hasn't actually been called. Because some of the vars being set in onCreateView are still null in the subsequent call. Jan 08 14:04:52 <_genuser_> rather in the next call which is to updateView. Jan 08 14:06:36 _genuser_: why not save the data that you use in updateViews and then use them when you get to onCreateView? Jan 08 14:07:22 _genuser_: that would be the way to go since you can update views before it's created.... Jan 08 14:07:26 <_genuser_> alexfu: basically I was trying to avoid updating view in onCreateView. because screen rotate destroys the views. Jan 08 14:07:29 *cant Jan 08 14:08:13 <_genuser_> I guess, I should use onsaveinstance and save all the UI data and in onCreateView either create new or restore from the passed Bundle. Jan 08 14:08:49 <_genuser_> would that be a better approach? Jan 08 14:09:29 _genuser_: when a screen rotates, view hierarchy is destroyed and is recreated anyway so... yes. use onSaveInstanceState, and restore what you need in onCreateView Jan 08 14:09:51 <_genuser_> alexfu: ok, all dynamically created UI values must be store in the Bundle, correct? Jan 08 14:10:32 _genuser_: onSaveInstanceState uses a bundle to store data if that's what you're asking Jan 08 14:11:49 <_genuser_> I was asking if I am responsible for saving every UI value that is generated dynamically at runtime by my code. Jan 08 14:11:59 <_genuser_> for example: Jan 08 14:12:02 <_genuser_> I noticed that in an Activity, the values of EditView are maintained across rotates, even tho they aren't saved anywhere in my code. Jan 08 14:14:14 _genuser_: yes, i've noticed that some stuff like that is saved for you. I can't say that all UI values get saved for you though Jan 08 14:14:50 _genuser_: I think checkboxes will save it's checked state but when you actuall call getChecked() or w/e, it will return false Jan 08 14:15:15 <_genuser_> alexfu: nice. So if my activity has 20+ values, I guess I should save them in a serializable obj and just put the obj in Bundle. Jan 08 14:15:18 <_genuser_> lol @checkboxes Jan 08 14:16:40 _genuser_: you can either do it all yourself or do nothing at all and figure out which ones don't save their state automatically and save those Jan 08 14:17:05 <_genuser_> these will be all textviews showing lot of stats. I know textviews do not store their values. :) Jan 08 14:17:23 <_genuser_> and that's just the stuff inside the fragment. Jan 08 14:17:47 <_genuser_> I still have to saveinstance in the mainactivity to store info about which fragment was loaded and where it was. lot of work. Jan 08 14:18:39 _genuser_: why not use FragmentManager#findFragmentByTag() in mainactivity? Jan 08 14:19:19 <_genuser_> because I'm a n00b android dev and I don't know half the things that are avialable. Jan 08 14:19:30 <_genuser_> everytime someone like you mentions somethig new, it helps me learn new stuff. :) Jan 08 14:20:25 _genuser_: yeah, you don't need to save the fragment yourself if you need to use it later. You can just call getFragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(). Jan 08 14:20:56 *getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag() Jan 08 14:21:12 <_genuser_> alexfu: so as long as I set retainInstance to true, instead of creating a new one in onCreate(), I can check the value of this first, Jan 08 14:21:31 <_genuser_> and in onCreate of mainactivity, if it returns null, then I can create a new one, eh? Jan 08 14:25:29 _genuser_: setRetainInstance(true) will retain the fragments data. you don't necessarily need it to use findFragmentbyTag Jan 08 14:28:22 <_genuser_> cool. coding it up now. running it. Jan 08 14:31:26 <_genuser_> so I load them using: fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment, "activefragment").commit(); Jan 08 14:31:39 <_genuser_> in onCreate of MainActivity, I'm using: Jan 08 14:31:58 <_genuser_> Fragment mFragment=getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("activefragment"); Jan 08 14:32:05 <_genuser_> to find the fragment. and then loading it again using: Jan 08 14:32:13 <_genuser_> getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, mFragment, "activefragment").commit(); Jan 08 14:32:32 <_genuser_> however, I don't see it in the view. Even tho my Log.d() messages show that that part has been run without errors. Jan 08 14:33:04 _genuser_: post your whole code into pastebin or gist Jan 08 14:33:12 <_genuser_> alexfu: :) will do. Jan 08 14:34:13 <_genuser_> give me a few minutes to try to fix it. :) I hate feeling like I just got someone else to write my code. Jan 08 14:34:32 <_genuser_> if not, I'll be right back. Jan 08 14:51:15 <_genuser_> alexfu: that worked. :) Jan 08 14:52:06 <_genuser_> alexfu: in MainActivity's onCreate, I just check to see if findFragmentByTag("tagname") returns a null. If so, I create a new view. Otherwise, I don't do anything and android restores the correct fragment on it's own. Jan 08 14:52:19 <_genuser_> that's for suggesting that route and for all the other ideas. Jan 08 14:52:26 <_genuser_> *thanks for suggesting... Jan 08 14:52:40 np Jan 08 14:53:28 <_genuser_> now, I just have to implement data restoration in individual fragments. Jan 08 14:53:37 <_genuser_> which should be easy enough to do,. Jan 08 14:57:48 _genuser_: here's another tip. in you main activity, you only need to attach a fragment once... Jan 08 14:57:58 in oncreate Jan 08 14:58:27 re-attachment is handled for you on screen rotation Jan 08 14:58:58 i should rather say, on configuration change Jan 08 14:59:16 <_genuser_> yeah, I have attached it in onCreate if it's null. Later, I attach different ones when different items are selected based on nav drawer selection. Jan 08 15:00:18 Greetings in here. Jan 08 15:00:52 <_genuser_> beautiful, the emulator has lost the interwebs. Jan 08 15:00:59 <_genuser_> icbytes: greetings back! Jan 08 15:01:12 I am implementing an own type of table. Basically it is an class which extends absolute Layout and has one scroll view. Jan 08 15:01:48 Inside this scrollview i have a custom class, which represents columns ( column orientated table should be created ). Jan 08 15:02:12 icbytes: extends FrameLayout instead. AbsoluteLayout has been deprecated. Jan 08 15:02:32 This column class also inherits from AbsoluteLayout and should carry the rows.$ Jan 08 15:03:25 these rows all consist of several ui elements ( all derivates ) from the usually known ui controls ( TextViews, TextBoxes, Checkboxes, Buttons, Labels ..... ). Jan 08 15:04:50 the problem is this : I have a TextView derivate, which seems to be always shown. But I only inserted a Text at runtime via reflection. I never issued it to have any LayoutParams. So there ust be some kind of Autosizing, could this be ? Jan 08 15:06:50 icbytes: is your textview showing text? Jan 08 15:07:38 right. But it just shall be there with no size ( adoption of port of another language to keep the codes more or less identical ). Jan 08 15:08:14 to what extent KVM will improve emulator's performance? i'm using Core 2 Due intel 2.1 GHz Jan 08 15:08:35 besides : FrameLayout does not allow me to set LayoutParams with width, height, X and Y ( but i NEED THOSE ). Jan 08 15:08:56 icbytes: just hide it using android:visibility in your layout or View#setVisibility() and when you want it to show, call View#setVisibility(View.GONE) Jan 08 15:09:08 hi, I am having a strange problem, when I start a service I set a WakeLock PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, when the screen turns off and after 1 min approx. the service is killed, anyone know why ? Jan 08 15:09:28 icbytes: sure it does... https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/FrameLayout.LayoutParams.html Jan 08 15:09:49 tried that, but did not really succeeded, due to the existent logic Jan 08 15:10:03 icbytes: ??? Jan 08 15:11:23 i realized another nice thing; If i set AbsoluteLayout(0,0,0,0) in my ctor, then I succeed ( just tried ) .... during runtime each controls special method will be called which places and resizes the controls ( but if Params = null ) somewhat else takes care and places my TextView.... Jan 08 15:14:12 no, somehow my text-views are missing Jan 08 15:32:13 hello Jan 08 15:33:29 does anyone know how can I get outh token from cookie in google login? Jan 08 15:38:35 hi! Jan 08 15:38:47 anyone experienced with in-app billing ? Jan 08 15:39:29 basically it is so that each column is a view, containing its own amount of rows, all columns next to each other define the datatable Jan 08 15:42:54 hello there, can anyone answer why most examples on the internet that teach making custom list adapters extend ArrayAdapter? Jan 08 15:43:39 because taking data from an array is something a lot of people are going to want to do, and it's simple? Jan 08 15:43:41 What would you use as a webservice to get data from the internet? Jan 08 15:45:58 dragorn, that's convincing, thanks Jan 08 15:49:50 because they're not hardcore enough to extend base adapter Jan 08 15:55:05 arrayadapter is useful if you're always showing a static array of items Jan 08 15:55:07 yeah, CallumTaylor, I did try base adapter once and expected it to work like an array adapter Jan 08 15:55:19 it's just like 10 less lines of code Jan 08 15:56:32 you'll have a bad time Jan 08 16:01:31 hello. I am searching for an API for live-accessing the camera. The stuff I find when searching is all about how to record video to some file. Is it possible to programmatically access the camera input directly? A link as a start would be sufficient, I just cannot find any starting point. Jan 08 16:02:19 does anyone know how can I get outh token from cookie in google login? Jan 08 16:07:39 How would you save a local image stored in the apk in a database? Jan 08 16:07:45 The path Jan 08 16:07:51 As R.drawable.. or how? Jan 08 16:08:44 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html#custom-camera I found this. but I am not sure whether this is what I am searching for. Jan 08 16:10:04
