**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jan 18 02:59:59 2014 Jan 18 03:06:53 join #android-studio Jan 18 03:09:12 HelloUniverse is sick Jan 18 03:10:45 hi, why this condition is always false if (navigation_level.toString() == "1") while in debugger the value of navigation_level is 1. navigation_level is string variable but still converting to string. Jan 18 03:11:50 string cmparison sometime does not work, can someone tell me why? Jan 18 03:13:36 because strings are objects, not primitives Jan 18 03:13:46 you are basically comparing pointers and those points to different objects Jan 18 03:13:53 use .equals Jan 18 03:14:04 "1".equals(navigationLevel.toString()) Jan 18 03:15:57 jaami-win, use .equals, with strings, not == Jan 18 03:15:57 or .equalsIgnoreCase() Jan 18 03:16:03 JakeWharton: ah, that was sure trick of java. :) thanks for help. Jan 18 03:16:19 LewsTherin: for all those lowercase 1s :) Jan 18 03:18:18 JakeWharton, heh Jan 18 03:18:20 oh okay , thats how case is ignored. thank you LewsTherin . Jan 18 03:18:31 I'm sure he has words and letters he's comparing as well. Jan 18 03:18:43 jaami-win, you're welcome Jan 18 03:19:14 also, jaami-win, do the "reverse" comparison, when using literal strings, as JakeWharton did above Jan 18 03:19:32 Otherwise, if navigationLevel is null, you Jan 18 03:19:36 ll get an NPE Jan 18 03:20:36 yeah i was only joking Jan 18 03:20:43 oh i thought he just gave another way to do the same thing but there was difference. this is sure good channel for learning Jan 18 03:21:17 joking? Jan 18 03:21:26 jaami-win, you should also be asking these things in ##java :P Jan 18 03:21:44 This channel is more for helping those who have a solid grasp on how to use Java. Jan 18 03:21:55 oh , okay that is nice tip for sure. Jan 18 03:22:01 jaami-win, he was joking to me, about the lowercase 1s Jan 18 03:22:29 nooo worries, you guys have a great day. Jan 18 03:22:59 You too. Jan 18 03:23:26 don't tell ##java that you are doing android Jan 18 03:23:40 they seem to forget that the channel isn't called ##jvm Jan 18 03:23:41 hehehe :) Jan 18 03:23:59 oh okay Jan 18 03:23:59 JakeWharton, good point. Jan 18 03:43:00 ##java people seem to think android isn't java Jan 18 03:43:08 they've drank the oracle koolaid Jan 18 04:25:52 hello Jan 18 05:01:02 hello! Is is considered bad practice in a fragment to have and use a constructor with arguments in addition to the no arg ctor? (I did ask this question last night, but unfortunately got torn from the computer before I could see the answer. sorry :) ) Jan 18 05:01:24 *the required no arg ctor* Jan 18 05:38:15 .... :( very quiet in here tonight Jan 18 05:40:17 whoah weird, there's a dude in another channel i'm in called xxzz Jan 18 05:41:05 zzxx: no fragment should have a constructor with args Jan 18 05:42:04 bankai_: thanks Jan 18 05:42:18 anywhere I could read the reasons for that? Jan 18 05:42:19 if you wanna pass in info, use bundles Jan 18 05:42:31 ah right Jan 18 05:42:34 All subclasses of Fragment must include a public empty constructor. The framework will often re-instantiate a fragment class when needed, in particular during state restore, and needs to be able to find this constructor to instantiate it. If the empty constructor is not available, a runtime exception will occur in some cases during state restore Jan 18 05:42:59 ok cool Jan 18 05:43:04 also, what channel? haha Jan 18 05:43:18 freebsd Jan 18 06:39:51 any android shell experts here? Jan 18 06:40:07 ask the ? Jan 18 06:40:55 I'm trying to listen to the bluetooth port (/dev/smd3), but it crashes whenever i do Jan 18 06:41:11 show your crash Jan 18 06:41:32 i dont have anything to show :\ Jan 18 06:41:49 it's in logcat :/ u new? Jan 18 06:42:02 hang on Jan 18 06:43:39 post your logcat and your code. as logcat will tell exact line of error Jan 18 06:44:16 i'm just doing cat /dev/smd3 Jan 18 06:44:34 after 20-30 seconds, it fails until rebooted Jan 18 06:44:57 gathering logcat info... Jan 18 06:48:41 how is listening to a port == to cat'ing a device? Jan 18 06:49:13 cuz i'm a noob Jan 18 06:49:38 how would you do it? in c? something else with the shell? Jan 18 06:50:00 listening to/on a port isn't equal to just cat'ing a file. that's just reading a file, nothing todo with ports Jan 18 06:50:44 you need to redirect your thoughts of what you are doing Jan 18 06:51:09 I want to listen to the port, for a byte sequence Jan 18 06:51:28 then that'd involve networking, cat has nothign todo with that Jan 18 06:51:50 something like this? http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C_Programming/Networking_in_UNIX Jan 18 06:52:13 sounds like you are wanting to be a middle man,but you are confused Jan 18 06:52:45 well i'm also the end men Jan 18 06:53:15 than if you are the end man, what's stopping you from reading the input? Jan 18 06:53:26 timing Jan 18 06:53:37 it has to be as early/late as possible Jan 18 06:53:49 no, if you are end man than u have all the data, process it Jan 18 06:53:55 doing distance measurements for research Jan 18 06:54:01 early/late? that make no sense Jan 18 06:54:07 Does google play services need the android support v4 library if I'm targeting API 15+ ? Jan 18 06:54:41 rdnt: i think you need to re-evalute Jan 18 06:54:44 I mean I want to mark a timestamp as late as possible when sending, and as early as possible when receiving Jan 18 06:55:02 evaluate* Jan 18 06:55:21 I added the dependency for it and looking at the dissasembled apk I'm seeing the android v4 library included. Jan 18 06:55:55 if u are sending what's the problem, if receiving, what's the problem? i think you are not thinking clearly, if you have access to the connections Jan 18 06:56:42 I was doing System.nanoTime (or w/e) in java, but it's not getting good enough results Jan 18 06:57:08 then BT isn't the problem, it's your detection Jan 18 06:57:09 so I wanted to have a C program listen and mark timestamps Jan 18 06:58:02 rdnt: you are being very vague without code, and more of an explanation. Be more open&detailed Jan 18 06:58:12 i'm trying Jan 18 06:58:45 This is for research using Time of Flight distance measurements Jan 18 07:04:17 https://github.com/jphilli85/essentiallocalization/blob/master/src/main/java/com/essentiallocalization/connection/StreamedConnection.java Jan 18 07:08:13 So I'm going to try to make a C program to listen to the port and mark timestamps using ktime or CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW if possibile. Jan 18 07:08:16 Does anyone know what the fuck I'm talking about? Jan 18 07:08:23 Gradle is driving me nuts Jan 18 07:08:57 compac, idk why you need v4compat if you don't use it. I just accepted it :\ Jan 18 07:09:45 There was actually something in there that wasn't in the main area (ViewPager iirc) Jan 18 07:10:04 rdnt, I don't need it, that's why I don't want it. I created a dummy app and it's almost 1mb, it's annoying. Jan 18 07:11:01 remove it from your project Jan 18 07:11:55 I don't have it on my project, I only included google play services as a dependency, that's why it's annoying. Jan 18 07:13:28 I see it on Project structures with 2 error saying the library isn't used but after I delete it, it reappears every time gradle is synched. Jan 18 07:23:06 hey, i was wondering which method in an activity gets called when the user switches away from an app Jan 18 07:25:29 or when the app is closed Jan 18 07:26:14 i am guessing onPause()? Jan 18 07:27:26 nevermind i think the answer is onUserLeaveHint() Jan 18 08:27:55 can I install apps from PC without enabling developer options? Jan 18 08:28:59 you could push over MTP, then use a local file manager to install - assuming you've got non-play-store installs enabled Jan 18 08:29:50 oh good Jan 18 08:30:31 Leeds surprised you didn't recommend xfer via bluetooth :) Jan 18 08:32:39 g00s: I'm old-fashioned, to me "PC" means desktop, which mostly means no BT Jan 18 08:32:58 I have BT installed :) Jan 18 08:35:07 operation successful. Patient died Jan 18 08:35:08 hehe Jan 18 08:35:20 Just kidding :) Jan 18 08:44:45 well great start of the day. Now I can test my softkeyboard on tablet and smartphone simultaneously Jan 18 08:45:44 I bought keyboard for iPad, rapoo 6300 instead 6100 and I can't use national special fonts... what pains a lot. Jan 18 08:46:14 I tried with sgs4 and nexus7 but it works the same, there is no special signs. Jan 18 09:16:20 should I be uploading a photo through async task Jan 18 09:16:31 or is the standard way without async task? Jan 18 09:21:33 LoneSoldier728: asynctask or intentservice are common ways to solve the problem Jan 18 09:21:48 an intentservice is fine for giving user notification bar feedback at the same time on the progress of upload Jan 18 09:24:15 for instance, if you use URLConnection, you will have an OutputStream where to write the image in small chunks and can tell the UI to refresh after each chunk Jan 18 09:27:36 alankila, got any apps i can buy? Jan 18 09:28:34 rdnt: nah, forget about it. I have one but I've open sourced it, just lost the password to the keystore so can't update the version on market. So awkward. Jan 18 09:29:01 in fact maybe it's time to delete it and upload it anew... Jan 18 09:29:30 last time I used the play store it was such an irritating piece of work. I hope they've fixed it a lot by now Jan 18 09:30:06 better, but still not a simple process Jan 18 09:32:05 it Jan 18 09:32:11 its pretty simple.. Jan 18 09:33:24 Looks like I can't even delete an application Jan 18 09:33:32 no you can't Jan 18 09:33:37 what on earth is this crap. You'd think such an elementary operation would be supported Jan 18 09:33:45 play store still seems to be missing basic stuff, like coupon codes Jan 18 09:34:18 * alankila sends some mild amount of hate google's way Jan 18 09:34:31 duck duck g00s Jan 18 09:34:31 also, i think they should do what itunes does, show comments / rating for your country only **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jan 18 09:59:03 2014 Jan 18 09:59:04 I have tried changing all folders to non-read only and pushing the picture to the sdcard folders Jan 18 09:59:47 unless it is easier for someone to tell me how to make my device work with localhost whichever can be done just so i can test pictures : / Jan 18 10:27:25 can i post a picture to the servers from an emulator Jan 18 10:39:19 LoneSoldier728 sure Jan 18 10:51:29 There. What a bother, but I published a couple of free apps Jan 18 10:57:25 Hello world! Jan 18 10:58:01 I'm starting to think I should create a "View" for my layout that I want to re-use on a lot of places, but also add some logic to. Does that seem reasonable? Jan 18 10:59:11 More precisely, it's my take on the "card" look&feel, and I'd like to encapsulate the functionality a bit. Jan 18 11:00:18 n20: don't understand what you are talking about. Maybe someone else does. Jan 18 11:00:40 views with behaviors sounds like fragments to me. perhaps you want to make one of those. Jan 18 11:00:51 alankila: Nope, it's probably me lol, I'll try to explain it a bit better :) Jan 18 11:02:12 n20: extract include? Jan 18 11:02:36 http://developer.android.com/training/improving-layouts/reusing-layouts.html Jan 18 11:03:08 come on you guys, cards are the not-so new hot! Jan 18 11:03:36 AbelianHorizon: I'm already utilizing includes at the moment, but I thought I'd create some sort of general View that I just add convenience methods to and whatnot. :-) Jan 18 11:04:01 extend View? Jan 18 11:04:57 AbelianHorizon: Yeah, that was what I was thinking of. Is that the best way to approach it? Jan 18 11:05:10 g00s: But... but... it looks so nice! Jan 18 11:05:16 :) Jan 18 11:07:10 there are card libraries available on github, either use them or see how they do it? https://github.com/afollestad/Cards-UI https://github.com/gabrielemariotti/cardslib Jan 18 11:07:25 but yes, i think that is what you want, extending a view Jan 18 11:11:03 for example, this guy extends LinearLayout for his custom card class https://github.com/gabrielemariotti/cardslib/blob/master/library/src/main/java/it/gmariotti/cardslib/library/view/BaseCardView.java Jan 18 11:11:16 hi all Jan 18 11:12:25 with all the hardness and breakage i bump into my new android development road, i keep looking for a greener grass in phongap and the likes. how do you keep sane and not run away to those other cross-platform frameworks? obviously almost any app I develop I guess I can also build for iOS Jan 18 11:13:01 the only thing i can imagine, is that developing native saves me UI customization time - getting the exact look an feel of the OS. Jan 18 11:14:00 they're shite Jan 18 11:14:20 if i'm looking at an app like okcupid (they built it html5/js/css on their own webkit wrapper) - it feels almost native, and looks great. i'm wondering if there's any point anymore Jan 18 11:14:52 must admit i haven't seen that app, but facebook originally went down that road and their app was notoriously bad Jan 18 11:15:47 well I'm very impressed with okcupid. it's almost as packed as the Facebook app, because in its core it is somewhat of a social network. it works very fast, faster than some native apps and on-par with my Facebook app on the same device Jan 18 11:16:18 (also you just totally outed yourself as an okc user, ha ha!) Jan 18 11:16:27 i'm an okc user. sure Jan 18 11:16:55 if that's a shame - too bad. i can tell you i date 2 girls in parallel, and the sex is awesome :) Jan 18 11:17:02 AbelianHorizon: Good idea, thanks! I think I'll probably do something similar. :) Jan 18 11:17:12 cool Jan 18 11:18:15 Given that my computer logged me off IRC for a few minutes, I'll just assume pellis is actually talking about android in a previous message. :) Jan 18 11:18:15 storkme, you're missing out. both on the app experience and the girls :) Jan 18 11:18:30 n20, haha Jan 18 11:18:37 if you say so Jan 18 11:19:38 to a minimum degree Jan 18 11:19:57 anyway their latest update to the app knocked me off balance. it really shows you can get almost native on a webkit app, and it's not snake oil. Jan 18 11:20:14 i'm just waiting for g00s to say something funny Jan 18 11:24:20 never used any dating websites; my advice to finding someone is to donate your time to a special cause; you'll often find interesting people that know how to love, because they know how to give … themselves Jan 18 11:25:28 date people similar to yourself in interests, but they can't have the same weaknesses Jan 18 11:25:39 you should know if someone is worth persuing in 2 dates Jan 18 11:25:52 it takes 2 years to know somebody well enough to propose Jan 18 11:26:00 thats my advice ;) Jan 18 11:26:39 g00s: i disagree Jan 18 11:26:51 Sometimes you know in a heartbeat Jan 18 11:27:10 DarkSlay3r i follow the research Jan 18 11:27:22 I am the research Jan 18 11:27:24 divorce rates drop after dating period of 2 years Jan 18 11:27:34 no you are a single point, an anecdote Jan 18 11:27:36 it takes < 5 seconds to know if someone is hot or not Jan 18 11:27:48 well, actually about 300ms Jan 18 11:27:48 forget about the rest, that comes along if it does :- Jan 18 11:27:51 p Jan 18 11:28:12 your subconscious sizes up someone in less than a second, several hundred parameters Jan 18 11:28:21 (for 'hotness') Jan 18 11:28:21 alankila: it defies spacetime Jan 18 11:28:29 but I'm on a long term relationship so any advice I might have is absolutely theoretical. 13 years now I guess. Jan 18 11:28:30 I can tell if someone is hot without looking Jan 18 11:28:42 with over 90% accuracy Jan 18 11:29:10 Look it's simple Jan 18 11:29:18 If you want a happy relationship Jan 18 11:29:27 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21203411/image-not-post-ing-android Jan 18 11:29:33 Learn to compromise Jan 18 11:29:38 anyone understand what is going wrong there - <3 Jan 18 11:29:40 LoneSoldier728: Can't you see we are busy Jan 18 11:29:51 SO is becoming a cesspool Jan 18 11:29:57 Can you believe this guy? Jan 18 11:30:17 LoneSoldier728: what, file not found exception stymies you? Jan 18 11:30:28 DarkSlay3r compromise is important. the most flexible person is usually the one that keeps the relationship together Jan 18 11:30:37 the relationship is controlled by the one who cares the least Jan 18 11:30:49 lol Jan 18 11:30:58 stymies? Jan 18 11:31:03 LoneSoldier728: your fileuri is from 'buri', whatever that is. Jan 18 11:31:22 did oyu mean new Filename(sourceFile) Jan 18 11:31:42 well basically the buri is the image selected uri Jan 18 11:31:55 well it says something like image=11 apparently Jan 18 11:31:57 but i wasnt sure if i was having problems with it because of using an emulator Jan 18 11:32:19 so i hardcoded the buri to = to the sd card's image Jan 18 11:32:22 on the emulator Jan 18 11:32:29 LoneSoldier728: no you did not. buri is not hardcoded Jan 18 11:32:40 sorry i mean Jan 18 11:32:41 filename Jan 18 11:32:42 at least, not in this snippet Jan 18 11:32:49 LoneSoldier728: yes, but you are not using the filename Jan 18 11:33:01 ah Jan 18 11:33:03 good catch Jan 18 11:33:08 or well, you are, but not when it comes to FileInputStream Jan 18 11:33:08 didnt realize i didnt make the change Jan 18 11:33:24 why does buri not work is it because it is an emulator btw? Jan 18 11:33:48 I've no idea what that is, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't reference a valid file name, as you can get from the error saying File not found Jan 18 11:33:55 that is imho quite clear Jan 18 11:34:19 right i see the filepath too Jan 18 11:34:48 i was trying to connect my device to the localhost Jan 18 11:34:59 but not sure how to do that exactly still Jan 18 11:35:13 the "localhost" is the device itself Jan 18 11:35:20 you mean, connect to your pc? Jan 18 11:35:22 ya Jan 18 11:35:43 it's easy, work out your pc's hostname or ip, and connect both to same network Jan 18 11:35:59 I use device over wlan with my laptop quite often Jan 18 11:36:14 adb is over wifi too so I can dispense with the irritating usb cable Jan 18 11:36:44 is it suppose to be saying skipped 36 frames? Jan 18 11:37:19 yeah i tried to go to the same ip Jan 18 11:37:32 but it takes forever to load Jan 18 11:37:44 and it ends up saying oops Jan 18 11:37:47 01-18 06:36:48.372: W/InputEventReceiver(7867): Attempted to finish an input event but the input event receiver has already been disposed. Jan 18 11:37:47 01-18 06:36:48.372: W/InputEventReceiver(7867): Attempted to finish an input event but the input event receiver has already been disposed.

Jan 18 11:40:12 yeah but I am getting on my server side errors saying canno call method 'split' I actually am unsure how to retrieve it on the server side as i do with websites as req.files Jan 18 11:42:07 HTTP Response is : Internal Server Error: 500 :/ appeared after Jan 18 11:42:33 well not knowing anything I'd say your http request is not valid Jan 18 11:42:51 if you just say it's multipart/form-data and then dump the binary file as request body, this is violating the spec Jan 18 11:42:57 well the okcupid app is a hybrid. looks like slide menu, top bar are all native Jan 18 11:43:07 just sniffed its HTTP requests :) Jan 18 11:43:10 oh wait I see you do more work Jan 18 11:43:10 sorry Jan 18 11:43:51 I guess this could actually be valid Jan 18 11:46:10 yeah definitely check out how to access uploads in server-side code next Jan 18 11:46:17 I can't find an error in the http request body Jan 18 11:46:33 not thrilled about your weak ***** boundary though Jan 18 11:46:58 ya ok Jan 18 11:47:20 well alankila i am up for other ways I was trying multipartentitybuilder Jan 18 11:47:22 I wish I could go back in time and punch the person who put mime multiparts into the spec Jan 18 11:47:25 and kept getting errors Jan 18 11:48:49 the boundary ambiguity for instance causes newlines at end of http posted values to get dropped Jan 18 11:49:12 doesn't sound very important to some, but if you are calculating cryptographic sums about this sort of shit then it is suddenly important Jan 18 11:50:11 and the mime spec is pretty awkward for this stuff. Why use a boundary, why not just provide Content-Length? Jan 18 11:53:59 anyone doing the same app for both iOS and android? Jan 18 11:55:27 i am picking this because it seemed to work Jan 18 11:55:37 I have been searching hard for a good image tutorial Jan 18 11:56:47 LoneSoldier728: well, my advice at this point of time would be to figure out how to dump the http req sent by your device Jan 18 11:57:00 I often run a faux web server with netcat listening on a port and that dumps the request Jan 18 11:57:12 it provides no response but allows investigating that the form of it is correct Jan 18 11:57:27 LoneSoldier728: https://github.com/kevinsawicki/http-request#perform-a-multipart-post-request Jan 18 11:57:31 after you know what goes out, you can confidently emulate it from say html form until it works just right Jan 18 11:57:44 then hook your android app in place of the html form last Jan 18 11:57:48 I'd just not do it manually. Jan 18 11:58:17 i dont understand how that works alankila Jan 18 11:58:38 like never used "dump" or anything Jan 18 11:59:33 kakazza i rather do it manually Jan 18 11:59:36 to learn : / Jan 18 11:59:39 kakazza: heh, a nice 3200 line class that does pretty much anything one needs Jan 18 12:00:18 I've my own class for some of the common types of http reqs I have to make Jan 18 12:00:37 usually I don't need proper post request support though, so that part is actually missing in my code Jan 18 12:01:43 you never deal with POST-ing forms Jan 18 12:01:52 or anything in an app? or making an http post? Jan 18 12:01:58 custom base64 encoders too ... fun Jan 18 12:02:15 LoneSoldier728: most apis do not require post requests, that's just how it is Jan 18 12:02:27 LoneSoldier728: Not worth your time. Jan 18 12:02:33 all parameters are in the query string, and if there's file then it's almost invariably put request, and you put the raw data as the body Jan 18 12:02:36 there is no encoding Jan 18 12:02:46 anyone interested in looking at a few screenshots? 40+ hours of hard labor and lots of irritations later... Jan 18 12:03:22 well if I am trying to let a user create a user profile and during registeration want to allow him to fill out his info and add a profile picture Jan 18 12:03:28 how would I go about that? Jan 18 12:04:13 I was under the impression that I would store the info into a JSON object send it over as a POST (httpPost) and that works, and the same with the image Jan 18 12:04:26 (which is currently giving me issues) Jan 18 12:04:27 LoneSoldier728: ew. Do whatever you want. Jan 18 12:04:57 so what would be the better way, I am still learning so I am really an amateur when it comes to all this and am willing to listen Jan 18 12:04:58 the point is, the way you do it on client depends on what server will accept. Now if server can do anything and you control both ends, feel free to pick the most convenient way to do things. Jan 18 12:05:39 ya i control both sides, and I am using node.js on the server side and I am used to breaking up json but I can accept w.e Jan 18 12:06:14 e.g. application/x-www-form-urlencoded is a fine way to send key-value pairs and easy to encode, and a "put" request is great for uploading an image, just encode whose image it is by the URL Jan 18 12:06:29 this way you can avoid the travesty that is multipart/form-data Jan 18 12:07:30 is there any link or something that can show me a full example Jan 18 12:07:36 I am not sure how to work that exactly Jan 18 12:07:58 and what do you mean encode whose image it is by the url? Jan 18 12:08:23 put http://yourserver/picture/username Jan 18 12:08:29 content-type: image/png Jan 18 12:08:32 content-length: 1234 Jan 18 12:08:36 newline, and data follows Jan 18 12:08:48 the username there is dynamic part. or user id, as it may be rather. Jan 18 12:08:58 i don't think any http server will allow uploading a file that way Jan 18 12:09:06 BtbN: you would be wrong. Jan 18 12:09:20 that'd be a huge security problem then Jan 18 12:09:44 you mean I have no session id here? Jan 18 12:09:47 or no authentication tokens? Jan 18 12:10:04 the ability to upload arbitrary files to any location in the docroot... Jan 18 12:10:10 no, that's not what I'm talking about. Jan 18 12:10:16 the thing is the username is generated with the content being post-ed like the user's info, but anyways the way I am currently doing it is 2 posts on one button click Jan 18 12:10:20 you have program code handling this request. It is written by you. Jan 18 12:10:25 It does just what you want and nothing else. Jan 18 12:10:39 ya alankila i understood that part Jan 18 12:11:29 BtbN: put requests like this are fairly common when working with e.g. jax-rs Jan 18 12:11:56 first off what is the content-length exactly... the size of the file ? Jan 18 12:12:11 the size of the request body Jan 18 12:12:20 it is mandatory when doing simple requests like this. Jan 18 12:12:22 does that have to be specified Jan 18 12:12:38 or how would I know the size is there a way to call getSize or something Jan 18 12:12:54 not doing this requires the client to do chunked encoding. But the point is, doesn't matter. http libraries like java.net handle this. Jan 18 12:13:26 LoneSoldier728: if you upload a file, of course you know what size that file is Jan 18 12:14:03 anyway, I have no more time for this. Jan 18 12:14:56 ok thanks Jan 18 12:23:07 yeah what I expected I need to send the image and text in one post Jan 18 12:30:30 anyone know of any good android tutorials Jan 18 12:48:18 hey Jan 18 12:50:42 hey TGMCians Jan 18 12:52:15 I have one technical question related to apply the gesture on bitmap in the imageview @ISDP Jan 18 12:52:46 i'm not the guy to ask stuff, i don't know anything about that subject Jan 18 12:54:27 Okay but dont you do Android development?. If not then what mean to join the #android-dev IRC Jan 18 12:55:30 Anyone here who do android development? Jan 18 12:55:58 TGMCians, i do develop. Jan 18 12:56:33 Okay Jan 18 12:56:43 Dont you have any idea of my question? Jan 18 13:04:51 This isn't jeopardy, you have to ask a question before you get an answer Jan 18 13:11:53 hmm cool Jan 18 13:13:30 I have set the bitmap in the ImageView. Even I have applied the gesture also on the bitmap (Rotation, Zoom, Drag). Jan 18 13:14:08 But When I start to drag the bitmap in the imageview it works well but when do keep this same things then it goes out side the imageview. Jan 18 13:15:32 So I want to put the restriction such that it should drag until it is inside the the boudary of the imageview. Jan 18 13:15:40 Any idea to anyone to do this? Jan 18 13:51:31 I just built android-4.4.2_r1 from AOSP, and in emulator I'm not seeing any appwidgets in Launcher2 nor Launcher3. Launcher2, in particular, only shows shortcuts in its widget listing. I figured, maybe no widgets are preinstalled, so I installed a new appwidget. However, even newly installed appwidgets don't show up in widget picker. Any ideas? Jan 18 13:54:31 the 4.4.2 emulator image coming with the official SDK doesn't have this problems Jan 18 13:55:27 same this is visible here: http://ronubo.blogspot.fi/2013/11/aosp-kitkat-emulator-first-impression.html Jan 18 13:55:36 only shortcuts visible in widgets view Jan 18 13:55:50 eventhough the first page normally has at least the 2x2 analog clock widget Jan 18 13:58:24 anyone using robotium and the wrapper tools like calabash? Jan 18 13:59:45 how small screens would you support? im making a game and i guess the best way would be to just scale down the tilesize for different screensizes, but how small phones would you go for Jan 18 14:15:40 guys, is there a way I can play an edittext (for search purposes) inside a ListFragment ? Jan 18 14:42:54 hello everybody Jan 18 14:47:28 gson is quite confusing Jan 18 14:47:48 i mean, when using it with Volley Jan 18 15:19:55 async task vs multithreading which one should i use or does it depend on the situation? Jan 18 15:24:29 LoneSoldier728, those are the same things. Jan 18 15:24:39 AsyncTask is just a prettier class. Jan 18 15:25:56 LoneSoldier728, if you opt for manual threads remember to make sure they don't run all the time Jan 18 15:26:20 or users will be pissed. Jan 18 15:26:30 Display theDisplay = ( (MainActivity) context ).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); Jan 18 15:26:31 Point sizePoint = new Point(); theDisplay.getSize( sizePoint ); // why do i have to case to an extended class of Activity and not Activity itself? Jan 18 15:34:05 curried: the Activity would probably do just as well Jan 18 15:34:13 iirc it is the Activity that defines getWindowManager Jan 18 15:34:50 Mavrik, is there a online code cleaner or something? Jan 18 15:35:11 i'm using android studio and i want to reformat my code, remove all comments etc Jan 18 15:36:39 ISDP, http://prettyprinter.de/ Jan 18 15:36:57 i use it to format java codes Jan 18 15:37:10 or in eclipse, ctrl+shift+f Jan 18 15:37:39 comment removal is not done by the reflow command Jan 18 15:37:47 I don't think such facility exists Jan 18 15:38:02 Hi, there's a widget that I use often that is broken on 4.3 and newer because it uses the wrong parameters for SimpleDateFormat. Does that have to be fixed by the app's developer or can I fix it somehow? Jan 18 15:38:05 though one could easily write a simple search-relace regex to destroy all comments Jan 18 15:38:29 The literal regex: /\*(.*?)\*/ would match block comments Jan 18 15:38:53 alankila, that's neat thanks Jan 18 15:38:55 and //[^\n]* would match single-line comments Jan 18 15:39:17 this here is assuming that "." has a match-any-character interpretation, not perl's "any character but \n Jan 18 15:39:39 this would be true for java and python, and even in perl can be disabled by the "single line" option Jan 18 15:40:55 in any case if you have string literals with /* stuff inside them, that wouldn't work right. It requires tokenizing Jan 18 15:41:10 but very few people do so simple context-free analysis is fine Jan 18 16:11:53 hello Jan 18 16:11:53 heyo Jan 18 16:17:38 what is better to use async or multi thread Jan 18 16:27:25 LoneSoldier728, Mavrik already answered that for you. Jan 18 16:32:12 After you have experience using Asynctask, try Volley for much cleaner code and its a good library Jan 18 17:02:35 In getView's BaseAdapter I want to set an element (TextView) of a row (RelativeLayout) but view.getLayoutParams() returns .AbsListView$LayoutParams . Why? Jan 18 17:04:46 Because the view you're getting is the direct child of an AbsListView Jan 18 17:06:03 shouldn't I get the view of a row? Jan 18 17:07:14 I don't know, should you? Jan 18 17:10:32 SimonVT: I set the view correctly because I manage find element with id. I just want to set layout_centerHorizontal parameter on a textview. Can I do that? Jan 18 17:10:54 Sure Jan 18 17:12:33 view -> android.widget.RelativeLayout{b3749a58 V.E..... ......ID 0,-43-464,32} ; view.getLayoutParams() -> android.widget.AbsListView$LayoutParams@b36ef318 Jan 18 17:13:59
