**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jan 21 02:59:59 2014 Jan 21 04:26:03 ~ Jan 21 04:34:02 hola Jan 21 04:35:47 Hi, I'm not sure whether this belongs here or in the Java channel... I need to simulate super.onBackPressed() from within an activity when a certain button is pressed within an activity. The problem I'm having though is that the parent instance is not visible because I've created a Callable object; so inside public Void call() it can't find super.OnBackPressed(). Is there a way around this? Jan 21 04:36:14 obviously onBackPressed is android specific, but I think the general idea is just a java question Jan 21 04:39:31 ir7466: are you overriding onBackPressed? if not, just call onBackPressed() instead of the super one. Jan 21 04:40:58 hey guys...errr what exactly does a ClockWorkMod do for Android? Jan 21 04:41:26 ReGiStRaS: #android-root question Jan 21 04:41:47 opps...sry Jan 21 04:41:52 f2prateek - good point. is there any difference calling onBackPressed() VS MyActivity.onBackPressed()? Jan 21 04:42:17 MyActivity.super.onBackPressed() I mean Jan 21 04:43:26 if you haven't overridden that method from the parent class, then no Jan 21 04:49:01 Hey I'm working on developing my first app, I'm a complete beginner. I used to program in C# awhile ago. I installed Eclipse and am currently downloading the SDK. Are there any good, step by step tutorials available? Jan 21 04:49:21 keegangrayson: new boston videos Jan 21 04:49:46 Thanks f2prateek Jan 21 04:49:59 Does anyone have experience with Android Studio? Or would you recommend Eclipse? Jan 21 04:50:35 I would recommend Studio Jan 21 04:51:10 Hi, i'm developing in android studio, but it bugs sometimes, anyone know when it will be finally released? Jan 21 04:53:34 do you develop in windows or linux? Jan 21 04:54:11 I have an xml file. It is a drawable. It contains a statelist with 2 images and states android:checked as true and false Jan 21 04:54:41 I want to access this drawable via code and retrieve the source images based on the state Jan 21 04:55:02 keegangrayson, on windows Jan 21 04:55:25 Or better yet, I want to set the state of that drawable on a menuitem in actionbar and then invalidateSelf() to make it change, but that doesn't seem to work so I'm probably doing it wrong. Jan 21 04:55:36 Anyone have experience in this? Jan 21 04:57:54 ugh alright windows it is Jan 21 05:00:39 it's nice google now provide nicely packaged ADT nowadays Jan 21 05:00:45 i remember it being a pain on windows Jan 21 05:01:37 oh wait, it was a pain on linux too. Jan 21 05:03:48 did they ever update the instruction about getting jdk from canonical? Jan 21 05:04:53 i imagine a lot of beginners were scratching their heads at that considering canonical stopped carrying all java stuff Jan 21 05:05:15 (i was one of them) Jan 21 05:05:27 has anyone made an app just using webview? Jan 21 05:23:57 *shudders* i've seen many, they are a repulsive waste of time Jan 21 05:25:10 keegangrayson: it's rare for such an app to be a good idea, unless it is a very simple one Jan 21 05:28:42 keegangrayson: yes, i've made an app with just a webview Jan 21 05:31:03 why woud if(f.exists()) return false for a file that exists? Jan 21 05:31:17 i have the path name right and i am looking at the file in adb shell - its there Jan 21 05:31:50 I440r: make sure the pathname didn't get mangled somehow, check permissions... run in debugger? Jan 21 05:32:07 im running in the debugger. i have a breakpoint on the if statement Jan 21 05:32:08 that reminds me that I need to test running some higher-level code in debugger on android Jan 21 05:32:20 i run TO the if statement and stop. do an ls in adb shell and i see the file Jan 21 05:32:25 the if says it doesnt Jan 21 05:32:38 String mapname = retrorpg.FILE_PATH + "/minimap.png"; Jan 21 05:32:40 I440r: have you tried to go into the f.exists() function? Jan 21 05:32:48 no Jan 21 05:33:02 .. otoh, that might require more interesting debugger setup than normal Jan 21 05:33:10 analyze the 'f' var with the debugger and you can see the return results for all its methods Jan 21 05:33:12 exactly lol Jan 21 05:33:28 wtf actually Jan 21 05:33:45 although now I have a machine powerful enough to build my own firmware, come to think of it Jan 21 05:33:52 mapname = (java.kang String@XXXXXXXX)"nill/minimap.png" Jan 21 05:34:00 null even Jan 21 05:34:16 heh Jan 21 05:34:24 that would make for interesting path :) Jan 21 05:34:24 well, whats FILE_PATH Jan 21 05:34:25 which is nuts Jan 21 05:34:29 yes Jan 21 05:34:45 that should be initialized here. let me check Jan 21 05:35:01 actually, maybe not! Jan 21 05:35:22 its initialized in my onResume() Jan 21 05:35:23 ahh, the rubber ducky debugging session :) Jan 21 05:35:32 but the use here is done in a class constructor Jan 21 05:35:33 rubber ducky ftw Jan 21 05:35:41 which obviously happens before the resume Jan 21 05:35:43 dammit Jan 21 05:36:02 rubber ducky? Jan 21 05:36:41 I440r: put a rubber ducky on desk, explain to it your code Jan 21 05:37:16 in other words, trying to talk about your code to a 3rd party :) Jan 21 05:37:18 http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/02/travel/hong-kong-giant-duck/ Jan 21 05:37:29 sometimes talking about it helps Jan 21 05:39:02 g00s_: we had one of those in the river a few months ago Jan 21 05:39:14 https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlw7TiKLPBbWbgq0QWTWM5okqq0wmeIMx0arIktVJZQeJz4FObpQ Jan 21 05:39:25 sweet ! Jan 21 05:39:48 afaik the one in hong kong got... deflated. by a bridge, even Jan 21 05:40:18 bridge: 1 duck: 0 Jan 21 05:46:26 ok so if in create a bitmap using the bitmap factory its writeable but if i load it in from the file system the resultant Bitmap is read only? Jan 21 05:46:56 I440r: the latter probably is memory mapped from file with read-only access flags Jan 21 05:47:42 p_l how would i copy the read only data into a rw bitmap? Jan 21 05:48:02 is there a copBitmap(bm1,bm2); something or other? Jan 21 05:48:14 let me look in the bitmap class Jan 21 05:48:40 hmm actually of course there is lol Jan 21 05:49:01 just need to set a src and dst rect the same and draw one into the other Jan 21 05:49:44 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html#copy(android.graphics.Bitmap.Config, boolean) Jan 21 06:18:39 Hi Jan 21 06:18:50 If you are going to insert a blob, using SqliteStatement Jan 21 06:19:01 what happens if you have a null byte array? Jan 21 06:20:20 putNull maybe? Jan 21 06:21:16 bindNull you mean? Jan 21 06:21:27 ContentValues.putNull() Jan 21 06:21:36 i'm using SQLiteStatement Jan 21 06:22:40 is there any benefit to usign ContentValues? Jan 21 06:25:09 i don't think i ever used that one Jan 21 06:25:25 can you use a byte array/blob for content values? Jan 21 06:26:02 well, I guess you can or you wouldn't have suggested it :) Jan 21 06:26:36 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentValues.html#put%28java.lang.String,%20byte[]%29 Jan 21 06:48:06 i'm a very strong believer that a build process shouldn't have to grab anything off the internet in order to complete, once it's started. how can i clone the maven repositories my project depends on, into a local directory that i can turn into a git submodule? Jan 21 06:48:18 i don't actually have the maven binaries, i just have whatever gradle brings along Jan 21 06:49:15 ideally i'd like to automate this so that if we add another dependency to the project, we have a tool to recurse through and grab its deps and add them to the repo. Jan 21 07:03:15 My widget will content a string which does not have any particular length. What is the good way to set the width and height for the widget layout or is there any way to organize the widget in term of user friendliness ? Jan 21 07:03:26 *contain Jan 21 07:07:11 tophyr would that be the job of something like artifactory? and then you would back up its cache ? Jan 21 07:07:38 bubuzzz you define its size relative to the views around it Jan 21 07:11:04 The fact that we're stuck with ETC1 is just resource management nightmare Jan 21 07:11:08 for me at least Jan 21 07:12:00 lurkerzero wut? Jan 21 07:12:24 oh Jan 21 07:12:50 i have a system set up for transparent textures 3 of them are collected into rgb channel of 4th texture Jan 21 07:13:02 alpha channels of the 3 textures i mean Jan 21 07:13:12 g00s_: i'll check it out Jan 21 07:13:58 it's just becomes needlessly complicated, in managing it, also using them in shaders Jan 21 07:14:07 iOS supports ETC2/EAC Jan 21 07:14:37 tophyr there are ones from apache and sonatype also Jan 21 07:15:01 durka42, please elaborate Jan 21 07:15:04 this is my files https://gist.github.com/bubuzzz/50aa3b54e2dfa2e52011 Jan 21 07:16:12 tophyr not sure what you had in mind originally, but git kinda sucks at storing large files atm Jan 21 07:16:20 i wouldn't put jars or whatever in there Jan 21 07:18:10 bubuzzz: well if that's the only thing in your layout, then yeah, just fill the screen I guess... Jan 21 07:18:15 seems like a pretty trivial layout Jan 21 07:18:24 I don't really understand the question Jan 21 07:21:12 my widget size is 4 x 1 Jan 21 07:21:32 it will contain a string which could be in any length Jan 21 07:21:47 g00s_: hmmm Jan 21 07:21:57 so, if the string is to long, then it is covered by the widget since the widget size is fixed Jan 21 07:22:16 really i just want *everything* we use in the build, contained in scm Jan 21 07:22:26 so, how do we (android developers) solve this usually ? Jan 21 07:22:43 i understand that maven points to specific versions and that they (in theory) don't change etc etc etc.. and i'm willing to accept that compromise for the most part Jan 21 07:23:07 but i think syncing the build dependencies should be self-contained Jan 21 07:24:00 Hello Jan 21 07:25:01 bubuzzz: chop the string somehow Jan 21 07:25:15 how to make button like back button face? Jan 21 07:25:15 "This is some really long text that won't nearly fit in my short widget" -> "This is some really long..." Jan 21 07:26:16 ^^^ is that grammar a product of search engines? serious question here. it's a common grammar construction in irc nowadays. Jan 21 07:26:21 $tophyr: yeah, that is the only way, I guess Jan 21 07:26:48 I know that Android supports vorbis audio streams according to the documenation, but over RTP how does it work? Jan 21 07:26:53 Does it use RFC5215? Jan 21 07:27:47 tophyr you would also have to pin down the particular maven plugins used for each build Jan 21 07:28:27 ew. i'm not even sure what that means. are you talking about gradle's support for maven? that differs between projects? Jan 21 07:28:47 i worked at one shop that used our compiler for military jet software. they mothballed everything; a few machines, operating system, all software required to reproduce a build Jan 21 07:28:59 but most of the time, its an exercise in risk management Jan 21 07:29:22 especially for an app; i would imagine only one version of it would be out ;) Jan 21 07:29:26 that's pretty impressive Jan 21 07:29:46 shit hit the fan during y2k :) Jan 21 07:29:55 i've thought up to the point of making the build machine a vm, so that could be snapshotted, but didn't take it to the actual save-the-hardware level Jan 21 07:29:56 they actually had to un-mothball all that crap Jan 21 07:30:11 no shit? good thing they did lol Jan 21 07:30:16 tophyr oh sure, maybe using vagrant, chef etc Jan 21 07:30:25 (i've never done that) Jan 21 07:30:37 our server guys use chef.. it's ridiculously cool Jan 21 07:30:57 they'll spin up entire deployments in vm's on their dev box Jan 21 07:31:08 cool Jan 21 07:31:18 couple commands -> 9 little vm's plugging away Jan 21 07:31:25 i'd like to play around a little more with coreos and docker Jan 21 07:31:33 but no, not for this, you're right about overkill for an app Jan 21 07:31:40 rdnt: okay, good that it worked out for you Jan 21 07:31:46 more than anything i'm just irked that builds are dependent on an internet connection Jan 21 07:32:23 rdnt: in this case if you are *really* using binary data, the right charset is iso8859-1 because there exists a unique mapping from each byte to a character without interpretation difficulties. So the string formed this way, when looking for another string, will work correctly. Jan 21 07:32:26 the more i think about it, the less offensive this "repo manager" idea is to me.. it's really just another piece of software to run in the bg on a dev box Jan 21 07:32:50 just add it to the list of stuff the probies have to figure out how to get set up Jan 21 07:33:20 rdnt: in iso8859-1 encoding, a byte value is directly the unicode codepoint value, whereas in utf-8 there is a whole class of byte values -- those with 8th bit set -- which must follow specific encoding rules and these multibyte expressions are converted to single codepoint values. Jan 21 07:33:42 this means that conversion to UTF8 will either throw or lose data Jan 21 07:33:59 or at least, it risks doing either one of those things depending on if the byte data is valid utf-8 or not Jan 21 07:39:28 hi, i could not find help on google about how to make a back button to navigate back to previous activity. can someone tell me how? Jan 21 07:40:13 jaami-win: why would you want that? every android device already has a physical back button Jan 21 07:40:15 i want to make the back button look like default back arrow like face Jan 21 07:40:34 are you trying to clone an iOS layout? because, that *always* ends terribly Jan 21 07:40:44 actually i made navigation depending upon selected item in list Jan 21 07:41:35 hmm, well, i won't judge too much, it's your app Jan 21 07:41:40 different list are displayed and each list title goes to text of navigation buttons on top. just need to make them look like back buttons\ Jan 21 07:41:41 but all the back button usually does is call finish() Jan 21 07:42:02 as to how to style it, couldn't tell ya Jan 21 07:42:22 yes, need to change style of button Jan 21 07:42:47 style = face ? Jan 21 07:43:01 whatever the term is, i hope you got my point Jan 21 07:43:57 hmm, is there an answer or need to wait? Jan 21 07:44:48 one back button cannnot help me, i have 3 back buttons at top , Jan 21 07:45:15 just tell me how to change shape of buttons so that they look like back buttons Jan 21 07:46:09 hello plz anybody help me Jan 21 07:48:04 am i disconnected or what? getting this msg? Jan 21 07:51:31 Hi, hoping someone knows the answer Jan 21 07:51:37 Never mind Jan 21 07:55:00 Uh. Jan 21 07:55:02 http://hastebin.com/gibeyobine.avrasm Jan 21 07:55:11 In this short void. What the fuck did I do wrong. Jan 21 07:55:18 I- Jan 21 07:55:36 Fuckin canvas Jan 21 07:59:42 huh, genymotion doesn't have 4.0 image O.o Jan 21 08:00:37 time for minSdk=16 \o/ Jan 21 08:08:48 hi! Jan 21 08:09:40 hello, need to mae a back button but dont know how, plz let me know Jan 21 08:09:46 make** Jan 21 08:09:52 i have a problem with Google Analitycs: In live i show only the first activity Jan 21 08:10:18 hmm, i have no idea Jan 21 08:10:23 i tried both v2 and v3 beta, with same issue Jan 21 08:11:31 How do you avoid high CPU usage when you have implemented the AdMob banner ads? Jan 21 08:11:44 Our developer is having hard time figuring it out. Jan 21 08:15:29 Hey guys! I am using google SDK ads AdView in my activity. But my app occupies CPU even the activity is paused. I tried place adView.stopLoading() in onPause, but everything is the same. Can anybode plz help me in this issue? Jan 21 08:18:25 yeah, get rid of the adds Jan 21 08:18:29 tada ! Jan 21 08:19:28 google will be sad, after all thats the existential justification for the platform - to put adds in souls, but your users will be happier ;) Jan 21 08:22:51 i may reask the question from yesterday because there was no answer: i do create tabs at runtime and set a TabContentFactory @ TabSpec. if i change the view variable (that gets returned there) the view (obviously) won't update... how would i achieve that? Jan 21 08:23:04 i am making an phone dialer app for blinds to dial. should i make all the buttons by myself. or is there source code which i can customize. please guide! Jan 21 08:23:55 i want to make a back button, can someone tell me how? Jan 21 08:24:02 hi, how can I figure out why I get the following exception: "Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.TextView cannot be cast to android.widget.RelativeLayout"? I'm 100% sure that I'm using referencing right xml element (R.id.relativelayout, which is of type RelativeLayout) Jan 21 08:24:07 :) Jan 21 08:24:39 the xml may have error in it. Jan 21 08:24:43 jaami-win: phones already have back buttons ? or do you mean somewhere in your app ? Jan 21 08:25:00 jaami-win: i think if you use adt to create a new activity, it will ask you to put a back button and chose a parent activiy to start Jan 21 08:25:03 yes, in my app i want to create back button Jan 21 08:25:04 *activity Jan 21 08:25:21 jaami-win: in the activity bar ? or somewhere else ? Jan 21 08:25:40 some where else, Jan 21 08:26:02 i am making an phone dialer app for blinds to dial. should i make all the buttons by myself. or is there source code which i can customize. please guide! Jan 21 08:26:34 i used one acivity and replaced adapters and on top of screen are three buttons , just want to change their shape like back buttons with arrow on left Jan 21 08:27:19 aahhh!. if my question is not legit for this channel at-least sm1 tell that.. Jan 21 08:27:39 i did not use adt, actually did not know that adt can be used for navigation, thanks for the tip, i will check that. but right now just need to change shape of buttons i already have them working Jan 21 08:27:59 jaami-win: as in use a new graphic ? Jan 21 08:28:58 i am making an phone dialer app for blinds to dial. should i make all the buttons by myself. or is there source code which i can customize. please guide! Jan 21 08:29:09 SirLagz: hmm, no idea what you mean, im newb here, the rectangular shape is what i want to change to a back button like face Jan 21 08:29:16 trp24 stop repeating yourself Jan 21 08:29:59 g00s_: ok Jan 21 08:30:25 SirLagz: i dont know what is nt right about my question , explained it with best of my ability Jan 21 08:30:32 not** Jan 21 08:30:42 g00s_: come on, you know the rules... if nobody has answered your question within 3 minutes, you should repeat it in case anyone has joined the channel in the meantime Jan 21 08:31:19 jaami-win: well if the button works then all you need to do is update the graphics in the package and update teh xml to point to the new graphic Jan 21 08:31:28 *particularly* if it's a meaninglessly vague question Jan 21 08:32:08 SirLagz: ahh, thats what i need to do. thanks for help, but also let me have link for more detail to read if possible. Jan 21 08:33:41 jaami-win: I don't have a link at the moment...if you check out android doco though there should be an example there Jan 21 08:34:17 SirLagz: what will i be searching, i mean what term or search string :) Jan 21 08:34:39 where do i find source code for android 4.1.2 default dialer to customize it? Jan 21 08:36:09 SirLagz: do you mean that i need to change the background of buttons? Jan 21 08:36:48 is there any attribute of buttons like shape or face ? Jan 21 08:37:47 anyway, thanks for the help. look like i need to play with google Jan 21 08:39:18 jaami-win: I'm not sure what your buttons look like so I wouldn't know. But you can change the icon for buttons from the xml Jan 21 08:39:24 jaami-win: no problems Jan 21 08:47:29 anyone here play LoL? Jan 21 08:48:06 I want to test run my cordova app in a webpage that looks like a phone, is that possible? Jan 21 08:49:08 I'm trying to display mastery pages like on this site http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/7460#masteries, I have a background image and each mastery image, what would be the best way to do this? gridlayout? Jan 21 08:51:42 anli_: you mean the webpage has a picture of a phone for a frame? Jan 21 09:03:53 Hi. I'm searching an horizontal progress bar with at least 3 different colored zones (for eg: green, orange, red). Do you know if there is some code already done ? Jan 21 09:11:01 what about using a gradient Jan 21 09:13:11 http://www.tiemenschut.com/how-to-customize-android-progress-bars/ Jan 21 09:13:45 reading... Jan 21 09:16:47 bye Jan 21 09:18:29 AbelianHorizon: yes! Jan 21 09:19:04 anli_: isn't the point of cordova to run it on a mobile phone? Jan 21 09:19:16 I will run on a computer when I am developing Jan 21 09:19:20 join java Jan 21 09:19:33 * omid8bimo oops! Jan 21 09:20:24 anli_: I don't really get the point, but there's probably a cordova channel Jan 21 09:20:28 hey i have a list/array of a key corresponding to a value like this http://paste.debian.net/77552/ -- how can i define this in an android class and then use it to populate a spinner? Jan 21 09:21:10 do you need the key attached to it? Jan 21 09:22:45 AbelianHorizon: well what i need is to put the values in the spinner and then use the corresponding key to the selected value (state names) Jan 21 09:23:05 i dont know if i should define this in an array, arraylist or hashmap or something else Jan 21 09:23:24 make an ArrayList of the state names, inflate a Spinner view, call spinner.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(....)) Jan 21 09:24:31 you could have both ArrayList and HashMap Jan 21 09:25:45 AbelianHorizon: can i use xml string-array for the values? Jan 21 09:26:15 values meaning names or keys, state names i assume Jan 21 09:26:35 yeah you should be able to Jan 21 09:27:09 when you define the spinner in the XML layout Jan 21 09:27:21 use android:entries="@array/array_name" Jan 21 09:28:47 you could probably store the keys in xml too, and use android:entryValues="@array/array_name_values" Jan 21 09:29:09 AbelianHorizon: ok so far so good, one thing remain, how can i get the key of each selected value(state)? Jan 21 09:29:09 Hello, I really need some help with this: can startService(intent) be used to send simple information to a WallpaperService live wallpaper? I'm having problems on Android 2.2. See this for all the details: stackoverflow.com/questions/21253438/launch-intent-from-and-to-a-wallpaperservice/ Jan 21 09:29:18 I always populate dynamically, so use ArrayList everytime Jan 21 09:29:42 Twinsen: is there a particular reason why you need to support 2.2? Jan 21 09:30:11 omid8bimo: yeah, mess around with xml array, you can store both key and value in xml Jan 21 09:30:46 AbelianHorizon: really? both in one xml? if you dont mind, could you please tell me the syntax? Jan 21 09:31:04 Leeds: there is still a fair percentage of devices on 2.x using my app Jan 21 09:31:38 Twinsen: lots of 2.3 users out there, not so many 2.2, in general Jan 21 09:32:09 Twinsen: you should add your manifest to the post Jan 21 09:35:49 added the manifest Jan 21 09:36:17 the important part at least Jan 21 09:36:33 i will test 2.3.3 right now Jan 21 09:38:53 Same error on 2.3.3, so I can't really ignore it Jan 21 09:40:05 omid8bimo: keep in mind, this isn't tested, and I've never done something like this Jan 21 09:40:11 omid8bimo: but http://pastebin.com/K6nxYyS2 Jan 21 09:41:14 omid8bimo: idk if it'll actually work Jan 21 09:42:47 omid8bimo: and look here for how you might access http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5980577/android-accessing-string-xml-using-variable-name Jan 21 09:43:53 omid8bimo: personally I'd use a hashmap Jan 21 09:44:32 hi Jan 21 09:45:39 hi Jan 21 09:45:48 how can i study android? Jan 21 09:46:01 fly2web: what does it mean, to study it, precisely?

Jan 21 09:48:30 http://blog.timbuk2.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/goodbook_front-640x532.jpg Jan 21 09:49:00 the Bible is the only true Good Book Jan 21 09:49:02 the good book is good Jan 21 09:50:26 fly2web: http://bit.ly/1fUXyFC Jan 21 09:50:40 well, Lord of the Rings is quite Good as well Jan 21 09:51:04 thanks l1ght Jan 21 09:51:14 thanks Leeds Jan 21 09:51:30 you're *very* welcome Jan 21 09:51:42 no love for my excellent links? Jan 21 09:52:14 android trolling, haha Jan 21 09:52:26 anyone here play LoL? Jan 21 09:54:11 this channel is for grown ups, so probably not. Jan 21 09:54:46 what counts as a grown up Jan 21 09:54:54 what on earth makes you think we're grown-ups? Jan 21 09:55:33 is it something like if you laugh at penis jokes then you're not a grown up? Jan 21 09:55:48 ha ha he said penis Jan 21 09:55:51 heh Jan 21 09:55:52 penis Jan 21 09:55:57 too old to be playing a childrens game Jan 21 09:56:15 storkme: the only sensible meaning of that is "dead" Jan 21 09:56:21 woah what sort of children's games have you been playing? Jan 21 09:58:43 Hello guys. I'm using ValueAnimator, but it only supports API 11+. What should I use to animate on API 10+ ? Jan 21 09:59:20 isn't lol the one the kids are playing these days Jan 21 09:59:31 oh you were talking about LoL, thank god Jan 21 09:59:37 yeah, real men play dota Jan 21 09:59:46 storkme: LoL is the most played game in the world, and i'm 23, not quite grown up. have no job, so I am writing an app for the game Jan 21 10:00:02 LoL means http://letoverlambda.com/ right ? Jan 21 10:00:05 "most played game in the world" citation needed Jan 21 10:00:23 Hi, I have two AsyncTasks and I want to do something when *both* of them are completed. Is it possible on Android? Jan 21 10:00:23 should probably work on getting a job instead of spending all day playing games for children Jan 21 10:00:42 I can listen on each one with onTaskComplete(). Jan 21 10:00:58 fabiob thats gross :) Jan 21 10:01:13 g00s_: What's gross? Jan 21 10:01:14 storkme: dems hurtin words Jan 21 10:02:27 Either way, pertaining to LoL... I'm trying to display mastery pages like on this site http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/7460#masteries, I have a background image and each mastery image, what would be the best way to do this? gridlayout? Jan 21 10:03:09 storkme: waiting on a security clearance from the government Jan 21 10:03:09 the three things in the middle? Jan 21 10:03:32 forgive me i'm just being an asshole because i fucked up at work Jan 21 10:03:34 CallumTaylor: yeah Jan 21 10:03:38 i personally would do linear layouts with weights, but i guess grid layouts would work Jan 21 10:04:08 isn't grid layout api 14+ Jan 21 10:04:15 or is it also part of the support lib Jan 21 10:05:05 fabiob: you will have to code you own synchronization logic inside both task's doInBackground Jan 21 10:05:34 CallumTaylor: yeah gridLayout is 14+ Jan 21 10:05:37 source ~/.zshrc Jan 21 10:05:50 oops. Ignore. Jan 21 10:05:57 ignore what Jan 21 10:06:03 Exaqctly. Jan 21 10:06:53 I am missing a kendoui channel Jan 21 10:07:34 so can anyone else chime in? would you also use LinearLayout? Jan 21 10:07:48 fabiob: something like: while(otherTaskNotComplete){sleep} MethodToBeExecutedWhenBothFinish(). This will be in one of the tasks Jan 21 10:08:14 idk about that Twinsen Jan 21 10:08:42 Don't ASyncTasks execute concurrently? I vaguely remember seeing 'synchronized' throughout the class source Jan 21 10:08:58 *synchronously, not concurrently Jan 21 10:09:06 Hey guys? Jan 21 10:09:35 Desarun: I believe you can force them to run concurrently, but by default they run serially Jan 21 10:10:49 Ah, didn't know you could force them into concurrently. We just created a Thread Executor & queued stuff on that. Useful if you've got to request large sets of data & tons of images at the same time. Jan 21 10:11:07 fabiob: I would, in the activity, have two bools set to false, and when you get a callback from the service, set it to true and check to see if the other is true. If its not, then don't do anything, if it is, then call your method Jan 21 10:12:44 Desarun: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html look at Order of execution Jan 21 10:13:23 I am unsure as to why I can't write this bitmap from canvas to file.... Jan 21 10:13:26 I was reading this the other day Jan 21 10:14:15 AbelianHorizon: thanks, I'm going to try that Jan 21 10:14:21 Could somebody give me a tip, or? Jan 21 10:14:57 AbelianHorizon: Well that would've saved loads of time. Jan 21 10:15:02 Immaterial: Does it crash? Errors? Jan 21 10:15:07 Desarun: lol Jan 21 10:15:12 No, no crash, it draws fine. Jan 21 10:15:18 Immaterial: wish i knew anything about that Jan 21 10:15:26 I'm just really new to this, so I think I fucked up. Jan 21 10:15:40 http://hastebin.com/togerigivu.avrasm Jan 21 10:15:51 That's the OnDraw(), did I do a stupid, or? Jan 21 10:16:27 hastebin? Jan 21 10:16:36 Oh yeah. Jan 21 10:16:53 lol Jan 21 10:16:55 Certainly clearer than pastebin... Jan 21 10:16:56 Is good, is dolmio. Jan 21 10:17:03 Desarun: ikr Jan 21 10:17:39 But yeah, far as I can tell I opened and wrote to the file just fine. Jan 21 10:17:47 So I'm assuming I did something retarded elsewhere. Jan 21 10:18:01 super.ondraw? Jan 21 10:19:05 Drawing to canvas, I'm assuming it triggers when a line is drawn. Jan 21 10:20:04 So did I fuck up writing to file, or? Jan 21 10:21:39 Immaterial, what are you trying to do exactly? What are you trying to write to a file? Jan 21 10:21:50 A bitmap. Jan 21 10:21:56 idk but maybe its because you dont close the output stream? Jan 21 10:22:55 ...Oh. Jan 21 10:22:56 In what class does your onDraw method live? Jan 21 10:23:33 Why when I'm animating layout of one view element then it animates layout for every other view of the same class? Jan 21 10:23:52 If I just set visibility for it then it hides just that element Jan 21 10:24:03 if I animate layout then it animates all of them Jan 21 10:24:25 set animation to null for other views? Jan 21 10:24:42 sorry that doesn't answer your question Jan 21 10:24:45 idk Jan 21 10:25:10 I even set unique id's for all of them and access them with that id, and no luck Jan 21 10:25:42 pduin SingleTouchEVentView Jan 21 10:27:07 Immaterial: why are you writing to the file on every draw? shouldn't you have a save button or something? Jan 21 10:27:30 I am retardedly new. Jan 21 10:27:34 I am a newfag. Jan 21 10:27:58 Save button's probably a good idea though. Jan 21 10:28:05 Well it has nothing to do with animation, it seems that all views of the same type share the same LayoutParams, is that possible ? Jan 21 10:29:18 Immaterial: I'm also a noob, sorry vegetablesalad19 Jan 21 10:29:51 Immaterial, you are trying to make some kind of screen shot? Jan 21 10:30:15 pduin: saving a canvas to a bitmap Jan 21 10:30:27 its like a paint app Jan 21 10:30:29 Pduin, I'm just attempting to save the canvas contents to a bitma- Jan 21 10:30:30 Yeah. Jan 21 10:30:48 Well, PNG I guess, but. Jan 21 10:30:52 Still. Jan 21 10:32:06 ah, don't know enough about that to be of any help, sorry Jan 21 10:32:38 Immaterial: so yeah, closing stream probably didnt matter huh? Jan 21 10:33:13 I think that's probably what I missed, but I think it'd still have written a corrupt file at least if I didn't close the stream. Jan 21 10:33:23 Which wasn't there, so. Jan 21 10:33:28 onDraw is where the screen drawing gets done Jan 21 10:33:56 the problem here is taht as far as I can tell, you just ask android to save a blank canvas all the time Jan 21 10:34:08 oh wait missed a call, canvas.drawPath Jan 21 10:34:56
