Mar 15 05:21:46 Hi everyone ! Mar 15 05:22:19 What could be reason of getting null when I am trying to fetch the phone number of the first SIM ? Mar 15 05:23:34 TGM! Mar 15 05:24:11 Hey codeguru !

Mar 15 06:18:24 FireBreath try #android-root Mar 15 06:18:48 danke Mar 15 06:21:32 anyone here have experience with in app billing V3? Mar 15 06:50:10 hi, how can I get a list of live wallpapers available? Mar 15 06:51:04 I see android.app.WallpaperManager shows the current wallpaper and can launch a chooser to set the default wallpaper Mar 15 06:51:15 I'd like to reference a wallpaper without setting it Mar 15 06:52:50 specifically I'm using Current Wallpaper to display a wallpaper in fullscreen, the app shows the current wallpaper while I'd like to pick one while keeping the default wallpaper a plain image http://goo.gl/wdaXaV Mar 15 06:59:37 hm Mar 15 06:59:41 never done something like that Mar 15 07:07:44 I even thought about pushing a reference to the current wallpaper I want, set the other onw, then on exit pop and re-set the previous one Mar 15 07:07:48 sounds reasonable? Mar 15 07:10:44 could work Mar 15 07:17:29 Anyone here familiar with the amazon store? Mar 15 07:17:38 I have a question about app updates Mar 15 07:56:51 apple741: first of all the "don't ask to ask just ask" rule applies Mar 15 07:57:09 in second place: good choice of nickname for the chan :-) Mar 15 07:58:25 anddam: Hehe thanks :) Mar 15 07:59:18 So the problem is that I just had an update approved but at the top of the screen it says that the Current Version is now Under Review while the Upcoming Version is Approved. Mar 15 07:59:38 I'm not sure why the current version is being reviewed? Mar 15 08:02:26 gooood morning :) Mar 15 08:21:25 Greetings. Mar 15 08:56:20 My Dynamic Text asset is discounted in the Unity Asset Store today. 50% off: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#/content/15320 Mar 15 09:07:00 * cousin_luigi is trying to find out how a certain (free) app works: is dex2jar and jd-gui the best way to go on about it? Mar 15 09:08:38 dunno about jd-gui, I just used baksmali for that kind of thing Mar 15 09:09:07 never heard about it, giving it a try Mar 15 09:15:08 p_l: thanks, that looks very interesting Mar 15 09:20:31 Hello, was just wondering for a fairly complicated app how long a beta period might reasonably last? Mar 15 09:35:13 Lasserix: totally depends.... google spits out betas all the time and keeps them beta as long as they arent confident that its "ready", you might have used a google beta for years already until they finally remove the beta status of it.... one way to aggressively get to market shares Mar 15 09:38:53 guys I am looking for lib which would extract audio/ speech from file and turn it into speech any tips? Mar 15 09:41:46 hmmm Mar 15 09:41:47 well Mar 15 09:43:29 ohcibi: for an app that was rushed in development, a single week long beta is somewhat unreasonable? Mar 15 09:44:39 in the cousera machine learning class that recently started there's an example learner, that is able to extract separate individual audio files from a source audio file containing multiple speakers Mar 15 09:44:48 as well as music and other background "noise" that wasn't speech Mar 15 09:45:03 now that's a long ways from a ready to go library... Mar 15 09:46:06 ahh here's the term i was looking for "release canidate" and "code complete" Mar 15 09:46:17 Lasserix: the point is: an app is technically never out of beta. you will _always_ find bugs and errors after the beta phase no matter how long it took. if you have 1 million of beta testers who are testing heavily one week might be enough but you will only get 1 million of beta testers if you actually release the app to the public (marking it as beta) Mar 15 09:46:36 or as a release candidate yes Mar 15 09:46:48 Ahh right Mar 15 09:46:51 its a matter of communication with your customers Mar 15 09:47:00 be honest and you get a 2 year beta phase for free Mar 15 09:47:17 ? Mar 15 09:47:20 while maybe even gathering market shares Mar 15 09:47:35 ahh i see Mar 15 09:47:50 thats what google does (kinda successful I guess 8-) Mar 15 09:48:25 yeah that is what I had recomended to my boss, which I thought they comprehended but after a week of beta they told me the next morning we need to release it today! Mar 15 09:48:45 thanks for clarifying how they can work though Mar 15 09:48:51 try to communicate that there is nothing wrong with releasing, wrong would be marking it as complete while it isnt Mar 15 09:49:01 percisely Mar 15 09:49:11 Thanks! Mar 15 09:49:14 np Mar 15 09:49:22 as a dev you need to manage your bosses, manage expectations Mar 15 09:49:26 they dont understand how it works Mar 15 09:49:32 true Mar 15 09:49:33 you need to communicate what's possible...and what's not Mar 15 09:50:05 customers need honesty, thats one of the biggest powers you have Mar 15 09:52:45 myke: true, but near impossible currently. Mar 15 09:53:18 ohcibi: by honesty with your customers, you mean in what you represent the app being able to do -- such as on the play store, in a web site about the app, etc? Mar 15 10:07:22 myke: yeah I remember that , I am not familiar with machine learning so I worry it wont be that easy as I want to. Mar 15 10:07:56 myke: I was planning to provide / to work only with good quality audio so I hoped that extracting speech wont be that hard. Mar 15 10:12:10 myke: btw now thinking about it youtube is using for subtitles Mar 15 10:18:30 seems there's no alternative to WallpaperManager.ACTION_CHANGE_LIVE_WALLPAPER that would allow setting a Live Wallpaper without user intervention, can anyone confirm? Mar 15 10:44:33 suppose i have a vertical linearlayout, I want the width to be the largest width of the children textviews. how do i do this? Mar 15 10:50:01 wrap_content Mar 15 11:21:49 Hi there Mar 15 11:22:47 how I can stop calling Draw method in activity? Mar 15 11:22:52 or even break Mar 15 11:34:00 i swear to god, these listview dialogs will be the end of me -.- Mar 15 11:36:44 Hey. Can I download the android docs for offline viewing? Mar 15 11:41:00 Does Speech Recognition need to be on a separate thread ? Mar 15 11:42:31 intuitively, I would say yes Mar 15 11:45:32 im with sonOfRa on that one. "main" thread seems fragile for slow/blocking events Mar 15 11:48:05 TJ_CRS, I could swear I've read you said that already before. Mar 15 11:48:09 Weird dejavu I've just had. Mar 15 11:48:29 s/said/saying Mar 15 11:48:35 lol Mar 15 11:48:48 bizarre. Mar 15 11:48:52 dont tihnk I've said it before, but I sure as hell have thought it many times before Mar 15 11:49:09 Maybe I can read minds. Who knows? Mar 15 11:49:13 now I just run -nothing- in main thread, everything is async and goes through messages Mar 15 11:49:27 could be a new career is dawning on you ? :) Mar 15 11:49:44 Could be. Mar 15 11:50:12 sonOfRa, would use SpeechRecognition as a Service ? Mar 15 11:50:29 I've never done SR, so I don't know what the API looks like Mar 15 11:50:34 TJ_CRS, that's me 10 years in the future http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3tZ6Tj_S0vM/TO92HEZQdrI/AAAAAAAAAIA/trt9bS9mh6E/s1600/vidente21.jpg Mar 15 11:50:50 it's another glitch in the matrix! Mar 15 11:50:57 duck! Mar 15 11:51:01 Maybe an IntentService that receives the soundbytes and sends out whatever you need as a broadcast afterwards? Mar 15 11:51:03 hehehe Mar 15 11:51:28 lo Mar 15 11:51:29 lol Mar 15 11:51:43 brb, I'm gonna get me a tinfoil hat Mar 15 12:00:51 Can anyone explain how smali relates to java? Mar 15 12:01:07 Or better, to the source that generated the .dex? Mar 15 12:13:26 theres a smali channel Mar 15 12:13:52 thanks Mar 15 12:14:05 cousin_luigi: (bak)smali is a (dis)assembler for DVM bytecode, the stuff that is actually executed by Dalvik Mar 15 12:14:27 dx.jar turns JVM bytecode to DVM Mar 15 12:15:53 p_l: I'm aware of that, but I'm having trouble understanding .smali sources. Mar 15 12:16:00 Is there any way to use Speech Recognition off line with a XML containing the words ? Mar 15 12:27:34 suppose i have a vertical linearlayout, I want the layout width to be the largest width of the child textviews. how do i do this? Mar 15 12:35:21 Hi! How do I start a service, so when the activity is destroyed its service remains running? Mar 15 12:36:01 I use startService(new Intent(this, GPSService.class)); - but it is stopped as soon as the activity is destroyed Mar 15 12:53:59 anyone?.. Mar 15 13:00:37 guys, I'm really confused. I'm considering reading a thick book about interrogation psychology. On the other hand, there's another set of thick books that I also want to read and that's more relevant to what I do (I'm a horse consultant). Now, I'm confused over why I believe I need the interrogation books... because, I don't really need them.. but still, I'm deluding myself somehow that I need them. I'm just confused. I don't even kn Mar 15 13:00:37 ow what I'm asking here (im that confused), but can you help me? Mar 15 13:05:10 Ask a horse. Mar 15 13:08:53 but of course! Mar 15 13:11:57 bbl peeps Mar 15 13:47:04 hey onActivityResult is not being called in my adapter... any clue why here is some code...http://pastebin.com/72uNNT8y Mar 15 13:51:44 Hi, I have a problem with configuraion of android studio. When I'm trying make the application with one activities generated by program I get Mar 15 13:52:04 Error:Execution failed for task ':apapp:mergeDebugResources'. Mar 15 13:52:06 > /home/pawel/AndroidStudioProjects/Pawlissi/apapp/build/exploded-aar/com.android.support/appcompat-v7/19.0.1/res/drawable-hdpi/abc_textfield_search_right_default_holo_light.9.png: Error: Cannot run program "/opt/android-studio/sdk/build-tools/android-4.4.2/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory Mar 15 13:52:38 but program /opt/android-studio/sdk/build-tools/android-4.4.2/aapt exists Mar 15 13:52:46 I would be thankful for help Mar 15 13:52:47 pawell: have you checked the permissions? Mar 15 13:53:02 yes Mar 15 13:53:09 but I'll do it again just in case Mar 15 13:54:20 ok, I set chmod -R 777 /opt and it still doesn't work : | Mar 15 13:56:01 I'm not sure if it helps but when I'm trying manually start aap when I write Error:Execution failed for task ':apapp:mergeDebugResources'. Mar 15 13:57:08 I'm not sure if it helps but when I'm trying manually start aap I write full path /opt/.../aap and it doesn't work then, when I step by step go to the folder cd /opt cd android-studio and so on, then it works Mar 15 13:57:54 It doesn't work then I mean i get no such file or directory Mar 15 13:59:15 and it happens even if I'm root Mar 15 14:03:21 sometimes I feel like I'm the only one using eclipse lol Mar 15 14:03:32 android studio that good ? :) Mar 15 14:06:59 TJ_CRS: It's extremly slow for me but I have to use it because during class we use it Mar 15 14:07:32 TJ_CRS: i use eclipse Mar 15 14:11:37 ah Mar 15 14:12:15 good, was worried I've missed something important lol Mar 15 14:13:03 Guys I am looking for libr for speech recognizition from audio file. Google built in speech recogniition doesnt seem to support offline file processing and so far I found PocketSphinx and ISpeech Mar 15 14:14:20 hi how to make shadowed buttons? Mar 15 14:16:46 goodwin: I think you'll have to design them, i.e. create the shadowed button with gimp or thelike and set it as image resource for an imagebutton, but maybe try to google for "dropshadow view android" Mar 15 14:24:42 i have a listview and a scroll view (the list view is not in the scroll view, but for some reason I cannot get the listview to show or how can I get them all to scroll together nicely? Mar 15 14:45:06 java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid int: "5555550201" Mar 15 14:45:27 how is that invalid... Integer phone = Integer.parseInt(onlyNumericText); - that is the code for it... Mar 15 14:46:51 It's larger than the max int value Mar 15 14:48:09 ya changing it to a long Mar 15 14:48:15 didnt know that was the issue Mar 15 14:49:52 how do I call parse on it then to just get the numbers Mar 15 14:50:01 nvm Mar 15 14:50:06 I am just going to put it as a string Mar 15 15:06:09 If I write a few classes in my app that need to access member variables and methods from MainActivity, is it acceptable to create a new instance of MainActivity in these other classes if their constructors don't allow for passing a reference to any existing instance? Would it be better to create a method below the constructed like setMainActivity(MainActivity m)? Or is there a better way entirely? Mar 15 15:06:29 Writing my first app, and this issue seems to come up a lot for me. Might be indicative of a bigger design problem, though. Mar 15 15:12:07 I wouldn't create several instances of mainactivity Mar 15 15:12:21 are you using several threads ? Mar 15 15:18:10 Let's say I'm making an app that gets web stuff and presents some basic information to the phone. If the user clicks on one of the web items, he gets a larger view of the web stuff (i.e. think news), so should I make a second activity for such an instance? Mar 15 15:18:38 TJ_CRS: No. Mar 15 15:19:21 kesroesw1yth: just cheat and get variables using Mainactivity.variablename hehe Mar 15 15:19:28 think it should work Mar 15 15:19:55 Fiji: think Id look into fragments first imho Mar 15 15:20:02 Using static variables isn't always an option, and it's also usually bad practice. Mar 15 15:20:15 very :) Mar 15 15:21:04 what I found to be very challenging at start, was to communicate between threads, there is SO much you cannot do in main/ui thread Mar 15 15:21:04 is it better to have access to public variables than to read / write them through methods(get/set)? Mar 15 15:21:24 HunterD: much much much better Mar 15 15:21:32 cool. thx! Mar 15 15:21:33 MainActivity.Getvariable(); Mar 15 15:21:52 but that too may fall short if you are threading things Mar 15 15:23:07 That is still static. Mar 15 15:23:22 Calling a static getter isn't much better than references a static member directly. Mar 15 15:23:44 not really sure what you want here mate :) Mar 15 15:24:30 Well, there's some solution, I'm sure. Mar 15 15:24:38 what I do is to have a "messageserver" in each instance that "serves" whatever other threads / instances wants Mar 15 15:25:09 That's an idea. Mar 15 15:25:13 tj_crs: ok Mar 15 15:25:13 that way I dont have to care about anything, but it's completely asyncron so it have some other challenges Mar 15 15:25:17 is someone here having problems with DDMS -> System Information -> Frame Render Time ? it rarely shows up 2 bars on the graph and it does not update when pressing 'Update from Device' :| Mar 15 15:26:10 kesroesw1yth: there's many ways to do this, if you look at "loopers" you'll find tons of information Mar 15 15:26:30 however, I stopped using it after I learned about broadcasting Mar 15 15:27:06 it probably have other weaknesses, but haven't really found it yet Mar 15 15:28:12 I think my issue is simpler than what would require these solutions. More of a design flaw on my part, but not sure of the solution. Mar 15 15:28:17 look at "BroadcastReceiver" for examples. I always bundle in where to broadcast in a reply Mar 15 15:28:42 I know, that's why I didn't think I'd mention it, but u seemed to want a grander solution :) Mar 15 15:29:04 eventually, you have no choice but to look into asyn message handling Mar 15 15:29:18 TJ_CRS: is that like a sort of observer pattern? Mar 15 15:30:14 I have one main thread that recieves all broadcasts and operated databases and networking from there. Mar 15 15:30:20 operate* Mar 15 15:30:53 I'm not working directly with threads, so I don't know if that applies, but I'll make note of it either way. Mar 15 15:31:22 I just need a solid and simple way to access the MainActivity instance that runs when the app starts from other classes that are created after the fact. Mar 15 15:31:33 if you ever get to work with network or any other slow/blocking calls, program will crash... and you will wonder for a few hours what the hell happened :) Mar 15 15:31:40 Passing it to a constructor just feels hacky to me. Mar 15 15:32:17 I'm not a fan of passing around references to entire classes just to gain access to one member variable. Mar 15 15:32:33 for tiny hello world programs I wouldn't bother make it more complex than neccesary Mar 15 15:32:52 but that quickly stops when you start a thread Mar 15 15:32:57 Yeah. Mar 15 15:33:17 I've only written one threaded application, and I did not have to deal with concurrency, fortunately. :D Mar 15 15:33:26 it's a nightmare at start Mar 15 15:34:11 but when you get your mindset right it's not so bad. it's less challenging than fork() in linux....of which I struggle with today -.- Mar 15 15:34:45 is there no TabHost in recent versions of Anrdoid? Mar 15 15:34:57 yeah ? Mar 15 15:35:12 I'm using dialogs with tabhosts in my latest program Mar 15 15:38:51 anyone use Retrofit with cookies, I am trying to understand how to retrieve them? Mar 15 15:39:02 kesroesw1yth - give your class an interface and implement that in your activity, noting hackey about that Mar 15 15:39:49 or send out broadcasts and register a receiver in your activity for them Mar 15 15:40:25 bit overkilly if you dont usethreads imo Mar 15 15:40:37 why? Mar 15 15:40:53 nebs: Write an interface for the MainActivity? Mar 15 15:41:04 you mean broadcasts or an interface implementation? Mar 15 15:41:09 broadcasts Mar 15 15:41:43 no, like - say I have a fragment, a dialog fragment, and I want something in the main activity to respond to an action in the dialog Mar 15 15:41:43 i love broadcasts, but it's a bit much to retrieve a unthreaded variable :) Mar 15 15:41:56 yah, I don't use broadcasts unless called for Mar 15 15:42:14 anyway, in that fragment I define an interface, usually FragmentNameCallbacks Mar 15 15:42:23 and have the activity implement that Mar 15 15:42:36 then onAttach, check that the activity is an instance of that interface Mar 15 15:42:57 Hm. Mar 15 15:43:02 if so, use it to call back when the action happens Mar 15 15:43:03 That's an interesting idea. Mar 15 15:44:32 i test my app on another device, when i plug the other device back in adb devices is now empty Mar 15 15:44:44 tried restarting adb server Mar 15 15:44:55 hate it when this happens :( Mar 15 15:47:19 from activity A I use Intent to open the Gallery app intent.setType("image/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); Mar 15 15:47:27 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22425993/how-to-retrieve-cookies-in-android-retrofit Mar 15 15:47:31 how can I pass the selected image to the activity B Mar 15 15:47:35 Anyone know how to answer that Mar 15 15:47:57 @JakeWharton if he is here Mar 15 15:48:27 but if you're talking about a class that isn't a fragment, and you just want to communicate back to the activity without passing the entire activity in (a good idea) you could still use the interface idea but pass in an instance of that interface thats a member of the activity Mar 15 15:49:38 or, you know, anonymous... Mar 15 15:50:39 bubuzzz: you tried broadcasting it ? slow but works Mar 15 15:50:59 or you wondering how to recieve the image that is selected Mar 15 15:51:44 I know how to get the selected image from activity A, I just want to know how to go directly to the activity B and get the returned Image Mar 15 15:51:48 A > Gallery > B Mar 15 15:52:33 not A > Gallery > A (onActivityResult and start B) > B Mar 15 15:53:45 never tried that unfortunately, I'd prefer recieving it where it was sent- then transmitting it to other activity Mar 15 15:54:41 ok, TJ_CRS Mar 15 16:01:33 Anyone know how to enable auto imports in the latest Android Studio? Mar 15 16:02:53 Go to preferences, search for auto import Mar 15 16:11:57 I've got a stacktrace that contains MainActivity$1$1.void run()(Unknown Source) What does the $1$1 mean? Mar 15 16:12:13 nested classes Mar 15 16:12:34 An anonymous class inside an anonymous class inside your mainactivity Mar 15 16:13:08 If I try and deobfuscate (Proguard) in an improved manner will I get more detail? Mar 15 16:13:38 no Mar 15 16:13:38 nvm, they are anonymous classes like an onclick listener or something Mar 15 16:13:43 anonymous classes are anonymous Mar 15 16:14:56 So I have 12 instances of run() in my class. Any way to figure out which one it is? Mar 15 16:15:22 set breakpoints, use a debugger Mar 15 16:15:29 Hello Mar 15 16:15:37 Gonna have to try and get a repro then... Mar 15 16:15:39 Thanks for the help Mar 15 16:19:46 I have stuff like new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { } } Mar 15 16:20:42 If I did Thread thread1 = new Thread(Runnable runnable1 = new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { } } then I would not have the $1$1 garbage anymore right? Mar 15 16:22:36 Nope pretty sure that's wrong. Anonymous class refers to the class name being undefined, not the name of the instance of that class. Mar 15 16:23:21 You should just tell proguard to preserve line numbers, instead of having it strip them Mar 15 16:24:56 That seems like it would be useful. Mar 15 16:30:41 anyone know if a broadcastreciever can kill itself ?oO Mar 15 16:31:06 What does that mean Mar 15 16:31:44 I would really like a reciever to die after it's run its cause Mar 15 16:32:02 wouldbe... tidy if I can just do it with a message hehe Mar 15 16:35:59 sure, just unregister and finish()? Mar 15 16:36:16 Yeah I would think running unregister inside the registered method shouldn't be a problem. Mar 15 16:36:43 <- noob Mar 15 16:37:09 taking an android class, haven't done the events programming exercises yet Mar 15 16:38:37 I'm not sure that unregistering in there would guarantee that the receiver only gets called once though Mar 15 16:38:55 If that is what you're going for Mar 15 16:39:22 hi looking for someone who would explaon to me one code. Mar 15 17:03:43 Hi folks, I'm new to Android app development and I'm working through the official "create your first app" tutorial. Mar 15 17:04:36 But I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong; as far as I can tell I should have started out with a mostly blank "Hello World" app... Mar 15 17:05:18 But when I run it from Eclipse, the app installs on my device but does not launch or show up in my app drawer. Mar 15 17:06:19 Also, in Eclipse's log, I see this message while trying to run the app: "No Launcher activity found!" Mar 15 17:06:33 "The launch will only sync the application package on the device!" Mar 15 17:07:07 I'm guessing some file is missing or something? Any ideas what might be wrong? Mar 15 17:07:19 In espresso, what's the right way to perform an assertion on a view that might be not visible (maybe lower in the scrollview or something)? For performing actions there is scrollTo Mar 15 17:10:33 PeterCassetta, you need an activity in your manidest which has the launcher intent Mar 15 17:11:16 Okay, but for some reason the new project doesn't start with that? Mar 15 17:11:39 And where would the code for the activity reside? Mar 15 17:18:00 PeterCassetta: weird indeed, you started an ew project, then right clicked on it in the projects window and ran it as an android appz/ Mar 15 17:18:28 PeterCassetta: tried on an emulator instead od your device? Mar 15 17:19:03 No, I haven't. Mar 15 17:19:44 But doesn't the "No Launcher activity found! The launch will only sync the application package on the device!" suggest that it's something missing in the code? Mar 15 17:20:11 yep Mar 15 17:20:46 what did you change? Mar 15 17:22:00 In the application code? Nothing. Mar 15 17:22:36 Just opened a text file and ran the app as instructed: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/running-app.html Mar 15 17:23:53 text file? Mar 15 17:24:07 hmmmm Mar 15 17:24:27 in eclipse, go to file, new android application Mar 15 17:24:38
