Mar 21 03:59:41 canvs2321: From initial search, what I could figure out is that Mar 21 03:59:59 this feature was expected to come back in 0.5.0 Mar 21 04:00:15 There is a bug report already Mar 21 04:00:28 then fall back. AS is still beta?, so go with what works Mar 21 04:00:35 I have a problem with an application that just compiling, the application is not installed in the stacks blue or my phone, just run the emulator in eclipse.

Mar 21 04:31:21 do you know how to prevent the changelistener from executing (changing switch) then manually chaning it later? Mar 21 04:32:59 jareddlc: post code cuz that question is subject to be to open to ur views of what you see or should be happening Mar 21 04:33:46 canvs2321: https://github.com/jareddlc/TurquoiseBicuspid/blob/master/TurquoiseBicuspid/src/com/jareddlc/turquoisebicuspid/SettingsActivity.java#L102 Mar 21 04:33:56 i have an listener there, however enableing bt is aync Mar 21 04:34:04 * b0t I have a problem with an application that just compiling, the application is not installed in the stacks blue or my phone, just run the emulator in eclipse. What could be the error of this? Mar 21 04:34:37 so i have a handler that fires back when it finally enabled, i want to actually update the UI to show as clicked, as i have a preference that is dependant on it Mar 21 04:34:56 b0t you're so awesome at asking truly bizarre yet almost coherent questions -- which is why I really do think you're a b0t Mar 21 04:36:24 How can I handle multi tabel via content provider. If I will create and delete tabels dynamically Mar 21 04:36:30 g00s: seems an obvious case of an ID-ten-T error to me Mar 21 04:40:56 g00s: suck me Mar 21 04:42:28 canvs2321: nothing? Mar 21 04:43:47 jareddlc: i just rememeber previous chats, it was all about setting then listening for broadcast. i can't go much further :/ Mar 21 04:44:04 no no canvas Mar 21 04:44:15 canvs2321: I got bt enabled, and thats fine Mar 21 04:44:26 my question is with the switchPreference listener Mar 21 04:44:34 since the bt takes about 2 secs to enable Mar 21 04:44:49 i want to postpone actually setting it to check until the handler is ran Mar 21 04:46:02 i tried returning false, which doesnt "check: it Mar 21 04:46:11 but when i call setChecked(true) it doesnt set it to true Mar 21 04:46:58 hi, is there a method to check if android device has a mouse?

Mar 21 04:51:06 when android has mouse there is a pointer... so i think there is some method Mar 21 04:51:29 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/InputDevice.html#SOURCE_MOUSE Mar 21 04:52:56 g00s, how can i get InputDevice? Mar 21 04:53:28 i'm not sure, but seems like the first part of your journey Mar 21 04:53:59 oh look Mar 21 04:54:00 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/input/InputManager.html#getInputDeviceIds%28%29 Mar 21 04:54:05 took 2 seconds Mar 21 04:55:23 lol g00s Mar 21 04:55:40 maybe u can help me now? Mar 21 04:55:41 :) Mar 21 04:55:42 google is hard Mar 21 04:56:56 g00s, 1) get InputManager 2) getInputDeviceIds() all device 3) from id get InputDevice 4) check is mouse or keyboard Mar 21 04:58:02 jareddlc i don't know about the switch Mar 21 04:58:41 i think i know whats going on Mar 21 04:58:43 its that odd bugg Mar 21 04:58:50 that calls the listener twice Mar 21 05:10:15 where can i find settings AOSP source? Mar 21 05:10:21 i wanna see how they did bluetooth button Mar 21 05:10:29 clearly there not using a switchpreference Mar 21 05:10:35 since that thing is buggy Mar 21 05:12:10 jareddlc its in the Settings app Mar 21 05:14:56 g00s: source Mar 21 05:15:01 i want to see how aosp did it Mar 21 05:15:08 becuase switchpreference is buggy Mar 21 05:15:26 and executes both listeners :| which prevents me from enabling the setchecked Mar 21 05:25:47 anyway to hide a preference? Mar 21 05:27:19 man, i just started getting this weird error Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.view.jar" on path: DexPathList [...] Mar 21 05:41:47 I'm seeing an icon in a black screen when my app starts, until my first activity runs... how do I controll what's shown in that period? Mar 21 05:42:44 awefaw, see http://cyrilmottier.com/2013/01/23/android-app-launching-made-gorgeous/ Mar 21 05:43:06 ugh bt and settings are gross Mar 21 05:43:09 stupd android buggs Mar 21 05:43:14 and how u do settings ugh Mar 21 05:47:02 alex_PP: That's incredible helpful! thanks Mar 21 05:47:09 no worries Mar 21 05:54:40 finally i think i may have bug free ui Mar 21 05:54:43 stupid android Mar 21 05:54:47 i had to do many much h4x Mar 21 06:07:06 that article is great Mar 21 06:19:00 g00s, thanks, thanks, :) all works.. i can detect mouse and keyboard Mar 21 06:51:44 * bluezone 's eclipse exploded again and now he can't re-open it in the same workspace -.- Mar 21 06:52:13 * bluezone says Goodbye cruel world! Mar 21 06:52:48 good riddance Mar 21 06:57:30 strange, my vim has never done that :P Mar 21 07:00:00 you must be using it wrong Mar 21 07:18:03 Leeds, you program Java in vim? O.o Mar 21 07:18:14 why not use nano while your at it bahaha Mar 21 07:19:33 Because vim is good and nano's mostly useless. Mar 21 07:21:09 i couldnt see myself writing Java without auto-complete :S Mar 21 07:21:48 Insert standard you're-not-a-real-programmer-just-a-pathetic-web-dev insult here. Mar 21 07:22:55 bahaha Mar 21 07:23:18 I'm plenty retarded and have a bunch of retard questions Mar 21 07:23:38 Hey look a web dev Mar 21 07:23:47 * bluezone LOLOLOLOL Mar 21 07:24:08 Wait, sorry, just because web devs are retarded doesn't mean people who claim to be retarded are web devs Mar 21 07:24:33 That would be offensive Mar 21 07:24:49 but, honestly, are you actually using vim? Mar 21 07:24:56 I'm a Web developer Mar 21 07:25:02 I'm not very good at web dev insults. Mar 21 07:25:17 -_- Mar 21 07:25:35 I've used vim for projects, I don't really see the problem. Granted, I don't really use autocomplete much to begin with. Mar 21 07:25:59 I am 100% seriously using vim, and have been doing for everything for the past, oh, 15 years now Mar 21 07:26:09 If I'm typing it, I already know what I'm typing, and autocomplete would mean sifting through choices instead of just typing what I know I want to type. Mar 21 07:26:15 I might forget what I wanted between sifting through things and typing. Mar 21 07:26:23 At any rate, vim can have autocompletion. Mar 21 07:26:43 vim can have just about anything. Mar 21 07:26:45 Has anyone embedded emacs in Vim yet? Mar 21 07:26:51 about the only autocompletion I'd want would be auto-importing Mar 21 07:26:53 I know someone embedded vim-like behavior in emacs.. Mar 21 07:27:05 Leeds, that sounds horrible :) Mar 21 07:27:07 No I'm super retarded learning Mar 21 07:27:16 so when you write anonymous inner classes for onClickListeners you already have the whole method memorized? O.o Mar 21 07:27:24 rather than having to go look up if X is a view or a widget each time... Mar 21 07:27:40 I also hate anonymous inner classes Mar 21 07:27:51 Do you have trouble remembering what an OnClickListener has? O_o Mar 21 07:28:30 FYI, it's one method: onClick. Takes a View as an argument. You've probably got this memorized. In fact, while all your childhood memories erode into nothingness over your life, it might be the one thing you end up remembering. Mar 21 07:28:57 Wouldn't that be terrifying, to die thinking about an OnClickListener? Mar 21 07:28:59 lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { Mar 21 07:29:00 public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, Mar 21 07:29:00 int position, long id) { Mar 21 07:29:01 Oh perfect keep doing that Nilium Mar 21 07:29:03 oops Mar 21 07:29:22 anyway, i rest my case i can't memorize that Mar 21 07:29:24 :D Mar 21 07:29:30 zeLek23: I was making web dev jokes before you joined, nothing's about you. Mar 21 07:30:04 Ah, you meant an adapter's OnClickListener. That's actually still pretty simple. Mar 21 07:30:04 I mean, it's verbose and ugly but it's simple. Mar 21 07:30:36 call me pedantic, but isn't that an onItemClickListener, rather than an onClickListener? Mar 21 07:30:37 My compensation for not using autocomplete is that I always have documentation open in another window, so that helps. Mar 21 07:30:50 Yeah, that word. Mar 21 07:31:09 Nilium: what language? Mar 21 07:31:10 Pedant. Mar 21 07:31:25 What language? Mar 21 07:31:38 Pedantic! Quite Shallow and Pedantic! Mar 21 07:31:39 Nilium I was simply saying to continue to just type random collection of knowledge Mar 21 07:32:20 Leeds is a pedantic slubberdegullion of the lowest order. Mar 21 07:32:28 Quota filled. Mar 21 07:32:32 I'm not a Web developer I was just joking I'm just interested in learning OOP and Java Mar 21 07:32:45 anyway, today I am mostly doing - and enjoying - Django, rather than Android, so you IDE-addicted Java fools can go wallow in your insignificant whitespace Mar 21 07:32:57 Hi. I'm reading an Android book, based on 4.2. But I'm using 4.4. When I create an activity, it creates a fragment along with it. Is this new? Do I have to use the fragment? Mar 21 07:33:05 * bluezone knowledge of Java involves repeated use of project -> clean untill something changes Mar 21 07:33:08 nebby, no Mar 21 07:33:11 Django? Mar 21 07:33:15 nebby, you don't have to use the fragment Mar 21 07:33:17 nebby: congratulations on finding the right channel! Mar 21 07:33:24 I've mostly been dicking around in Go for the past week or two. Mar 21 07:33:24 Fun language. Mar 21 07:33:28 thanks Leeds Mar 21 07:33:29 zeLek23, python-based web-type framework Mar 21 07:34:07 nebby, go ahead and delete it and use the usual layout before venturing into fragments Mar 21 07:34:12 Gotcha Mar 21 07:34:14 okay thanks Mar 21 07:34:36 Any useful tips on getting this stuff to sink in? Mar 21 07:34:44 The video furiously Mar 21 07:35:01 i'm just as bad as learning this stuff as you haha Mar 21 07:35:05 Tutorials* are putting me to sleep Mar 21 07:35:06 Getting what stuff to sink in? Mar 21 07:35:15 Java Mar 21 07:35:19 Use it. Mar 21 07:35:20 __anything__ Mar 21 07:35:24 Hey. I recently started using Fragments in my app (got it working so far) but now my fragments are being auto-detached and I don't know why... can anybody help me figure it out? Mar 21 07:35:40 You want to remember something, make use of it. Mar 21 07:36:16 I think I'll go play some Dark Souls 2. Mar 21 07:36:21 Nilium, that's just it, i don't know how to usefully implement 75% of what i read Mar 21 07:36:23 I have (udemy, thenewboston, coursera, and Lynda tutorials but it's just too boring to watch back to back Mar 21 07:36:25 haha Mar 21 07:36:55 Exactly as bluezone said Mar 21 07:37:20 So try harder? I don't know, I've been coding for something like 11 years at this point, I don't remember what I did when I was starting out. Mar 21 07:37:20 I just know what works for me now. Mar 21 07:37:29 I know exactly what I want to do and how the logic behind it works flowchart flow Mar 21 07:37:35 But after that I'm stuck Mar 21 07:38:03 Hmm that is a long time Mar 21 07:38:38 It is, and yet I'm still not that good at it. Mar 21 07:38:54 I wish I had not procrastinated to this point but it's difficult nonetheless Mar 21 07:38:55 i'm sure you are :P Mar 21 07:39:30 don't fall for the imposter syndrome!! It's all a LIE!!! Mar 21 07:39:42 anybody know enough about fragments to help me? please... Mar 21 07:39:59 Agreed 11 years is plenty of time to know your way around Mar 21 07:39:59 JW301, i don't know enough about those to help Mar 21 07:40:09 Me either Mar 21 07:40:39 ok thanks anyway Mar 21 07:40:40 I know about as much as what things are not exactly what they do Mar 21 07:40:40 ask g00s maybe (sorry for giving u work :P) Mar 21 07:41:10 I wish I could answer your question =/ Mar 21 07:42:14 I was hoping this channel would be a bit more alive Mar 21 07:45:03 well it's pretty late Mar 21 07:50:27 Is there a time when this channel is more active? Mar 21 07:50:45 I usually see this being the case with irc networks Mar 21 08:00:16 How can I force eclipse to enter the jni folder and do "make" rather than "make -f jni/Makefile"? Mar 21 08:04:31 zeLek23, yeah like it should be pretty active in 6-8 hours Mar 21 08:05:23 bluezone thanks man appreciate the info Mar 21 08:09:21 piece of junk wysiwyg xml editor more like whyiDoWhateverIWant Mar 21 08:13:52 ProTip™: learn to love writing XML Mar 21 08:13:58 Hi, I'm having problems with receiving intents. I have posted a question on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22551957/android-sending-an-sms-before-shutdown/22552608 Mar 21 08:14:40 Need some advices on MediaCodec API, I have problem in decoding 1080p real-time h264 stream. It always crashed. dequeueoutputbuffer returned illegalstate. anyone? Mar 21 08:17:07 rahules, you might need to add a listener for that in java not xml Mar 21 08:17:11 happens with some intents Mar 21 08:18:13 alex_PP: i'm doing it in MainService.java. You mean, registering a receiver right? Mar 21 08:19:22 oh yeah, i only read the intent filter in your manifest Mar 21 08:19:54 you should Add this permission: Some developers says it is needed Mar 21 08:19:55 ... Mar 21 08:20:21 he didnt mention the permission.. Mar 21 08:20:57 i know Mar 21 08:21:02 brilliant huh? Mar 21 08:21:08 anyway, try this Mar 21 08:21:08 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14133077/android-action-shutdown-broadcast-not-working Mar 21 08:22:45 i was using the same post as my reference Mar 21 08:23:24 DO you think there is any problem with the Smshandler? Because those are the lines referred in the error Mar 21 08:23:35 can you post the whole error to pastebin? Mar 21 08:23:49 sure Mar 21 08:24:08 if you're getting the error on your receiver the intents are working propperly Mar 21 08:25:20 also, i'd get rid of that thread stuff Mar 21 08:26:17 from the docs it looks like acton_shutdown depends on vlocking to delay the actual shutdown until everything is ready Mar 21 08:26:23 *blocking Mar 21 08:28:43 alex_PP: here's the pastebin http://pastebin.com/r0JkcfNE Mar 21 08:29:43 sorry rahules , can i see the full error Mar 21 08:29:49 oh sorry. sure Mar 21 08:30:21 Also, I thought I'd use the thread because I want to receive an Sms sent intent and resend the sms if sending has failed Mar 21 08:31:44 not sure that's going to work Mar 21 08:32:00 binary xml file error inflating class. aargh. Mar 21 08:32:17 alex_PP: So I wont be able to check if the sms has been successfully sent? Mar 21 08:32:51 well, the phone's trying to shut it's self down Mar 21 08:33:08 i would guess you're going to have to be lucky to check & resend Mar 21 08:33:12 if sending even works Mar 21 08:33:25 you'll have to try and see though Mar 21 08:33:45 if it was just send, I could use smsmanager and send it without the thread right? Mar 21 08:34:09 yeah, i think Mar 21 08:34:16 only ever worked with receiveing texts Mar 21 08:35:01 Emulator's taking too long to start up Mar 21 08:36:00 alex_PP is there any kind of affordance one gives to borderless buttons to indicate they can be pressed ? Mar 21 08:37:39 size and positioning usually Mar 21 08:38:23 the bar at the bottom, the action bar & icons on the right edge of a list Mar 21 08:38:29 i tend to assume are clickable Mar 21 08:38:46 then the selectableItemBackground confirms this if i try Mar 21 08:39:00 the new linear layout divider helps too Mar 21 08:39:39 hm, yeah … i have seen in some gapps they adorned the View with essentially the Spinner style Mar 21 08:39:47 i think calendar Mar 21 08:40:40 but that was the only place i recall Mar 21 08:41:33 alex_PP: Here's my error http://pastebin.com/0xBR4uRv Mar 21 08:43:50 there's a null pointer somewhere in sendSMS Mar 21 08:44:05 getApplicationContext fails Mar 21 08:44:31 vecause you're creating an actibity using new Mar 21 08:44:35 *activity Mar 21 08:45:18 delete sms handler and move sendSMS to ShutdownReceiver Mar 21 08:45:29 use the context that comes from onReceive Mar 21 08:45:50 Okay, I'll try Mar 21 08:47:06 g00s, http://i.stack.imgur.com/NLZdh.png Mar 21 08:47:23 see the action bar, the bottom bar, & the delete buttons Mar 21 08:47:32 i'd like to see more apps look like that Mar 21 08:49:28 alex_PP: I cant register a receiver inside another broadcast receiver? If so, is there any way to get sms sent response? Mar 21 08:49:38 alex_PP thanks, where did that slide come from ? Mar 21 08:49:56 i think i have seen it before, either devbytes or i/o Mar 21 08:50:11 add a service that does all the sms stuff and start from the receiver Mar 21 08:50:26 but, that might not as the phone's shutting down Mar 21 08:50:47 g00s, that's from a design in action video Mar 21 08:51:10 yeah … i hate videos for this reason Mar 21 08:51:49 you really need to keep ontop of them Mar 21 08:52:09 gives me somthing to do during my first coffee of the day though Mar 21 08:52:35 i have watched a few, but i can never remember where stuff is in videos Mar 21 08:52:52 maybe instead of filling the first 1/3 of my searches with ads, they should improve that :) Mar 21 08:54:58 i file it all away in my brain Mar 21 08:55:05 then stuggle to show it other people Mar 21 08:55:10 :O Mar 21 09:06:09 yeah, they say go borderless mostly here http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/buttons.html Mar 21 09:17:49 Back Mar 21 09:31:02 what is a WebView? Mar 21 09:31:06 a way of displaying web content within an app?

Mar 21 09:40:07 Hi all, a non android question: does somebody know a tool to gerenate 100 random barcodes (for free)? Mar 21 09:44:33 hi2all. can anybody tell me how i can use HashMap with Spinner? i have problem with adapter( Mar 21 09:46:09 is this the correct method to add a library? http://oi61.tinypic.com/sq1tf7.jpg Mar 21 09:50:26 hi, by InputDevice http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/InputDevice.html i detect mouse, keyboard, every device have unique id but when i use combo accessories have a id number different and it isn't in list Mar 21 09:56:23 Good Morning everyone Mar 21 09:57:58 Good afternoon :P Mar 21 10:00:58 MalekAlrwily: how was your morning Malek? Mar 21 10:01:25 good Mar 21 10:37:47 hi. someone who developed a backend for an android app? Mar 21 10:45:07 We're using one, but I didn't touch it. Maybe I can still help. Mar 21 10:52:13 How does IMEI detection in dual SIM phones work? Can I get both IMEI's of the phone? At one given moment in time, what's the IMEI the API in Android gives? It'll give this IMEI all the time? Mar 21 10:54:11 Who is the Koush guy and how is he popping up in everything android related. Mar 21 10:54:14 TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); String IMEI = tm.getDeviceId(); // how do I know its IMEI from SIM1 or from SIM2 ? Mar 21 10:54:47 or its the IMEI of the active/default SIM ? Mar 21 10:55:41 but hold on, why does IMEI depend on SIM ? Mar 21 10:55:47 I thought its based on device Mar 21 11:37:02 JustSighDudes: Koush just a really talented devi with yacht or two Mar 21 11:37:08 *dev Mar 21 11:38:51 Hello, how should I approach theming an application which makes use of Sliding Menu? It has one activity - many fragments architecture and I'm new to theming. Mar 21 11:38:54 ? Mar 21 11:54:29 Does view.onTouchEvent() call the listeners set with view.setOnTouchListener()? Mar 21 11:56:38 creitve: I'm not sure what you mean? You can set the colors and text sizes for things in the styles.xml and themes.xml files Mar 21 11:59:24 Ankhwatcher: I think I got it, I thought that I will have to write everything in one theme definition, and somehow define two backgrounds in it, but turns out a theme isn't any different from style, so I will define one extra style for my menu fragment and apply it manually. Will this be a clean way? Mar 21 12:05:09 I have an activity which has an option at the top, and the contents of this activity are created inside a cellsAdapter. I want to be able to change the shape of this content when that option is clicked Mar 21 12:05:20 how would I do that? Mar 21 12:05:53 I mean cause onCreateOptionsMenu inflates the menu xml belonging to that activity, but on click of that menuItem I need to handle the elements inside the cellsAdapter Mar 21 12:06:03 add an edit button to each of them, for example Mar 21 12:36:24 Question about content providers. I want to make one string value available to several of my apps on a single device if the user has them (basically a way for me to know on the server that it's the same user). It seems like a content provider is the best way to do this. Is there any other way to make data available to other apps? Mar 21 12:37:05 do curent versions of adb not work with 2.1 devices? Mar 21 12:37:16 i havent tried connecting an old deivce in so long Mar 21 12:37:27 It also seems like an SQLite database is a little overkill for just storing a string value - any recommendations for what kind of data structure to use for the content provider? Mar 21 12:38:53 thammond, you can use SharedPreferences Mar 21 12:40:18 Trying to generate random color and set it to TextView on each click.. https://gist.github.com/santosh/380d81dc687ddac911bb#file-main-java-L34-L49 Mar 21 12:40:47 so I click a button and my code adds a new custom control table row dynamically each time its clicked. Each table row added has a text field and its own "MyButton" which is a custom button (MyButton extends Button). Now my Q is (being a noob) what do I need to read up on in order to access the MyButton class fields from within the onClick for that MyButton? Mar 21 12:40:53 But can't comnile Mar 21 12:41:10 onclick gives you a view Mar 21 12:41:14 which is the view that was clicked Mar 21 12:41:16 oh doh Mar 21 12:41:30 brain fart. thanks. of course. Mar 21 12:41:47 EPG I don't know why I hadn't thought of that, brilliant. Mar 21 12:42:34 hi, it's strange. activity with fragmens, device: mini pc android. when i put a wifi receiver to use wifi keyboard.. all crash Mar 21 12:47:39 hello guys, I quick question this code should copy file to sd card right?

Mar 21 12:58:24 http://stackoverflow.com/a/9293885/1056359 Mar 21 13:04:21 thepoosh I'm trying to copy sqlite db to android DB Mar 21 13:04:44 Android DB is an SQLite db Mar 21 13:05:19 db is 220MB and even if I have ~500mb I still get java.io.IOException: write failed: ENOSPC (No space left on device) Mar 21 13:05:41 thepoosh I know but You can't read directly from file you have to copy data to android DB right? Mar 21 13:05:48 that sounds like you should expect that Mar 21 13:06:06 no, you need to open a connection to it Mar 21 13:06:14 with an SQLiteOpenHelper Mar 21 13:07:14 atm I use this class http://www.sourcedrop.net/Sxdc397852b78 Mar 21 13:07:23 Dudi: if your db is that big, you might be better off using REST API and S3 or something Mar 21 13:07:39 thepoosh not my call :) Mar 21 13:07:52 200 MB files are frowned upon by users Mar 21 13:08:08 and I don't know how you think of managing a cache for this Mar 21 13:09:03 that db will be soon smaller, I think but still how I can handle with it. Mar 21 13:09:47 thepoosh open Connection to DB needs path, and I can't get path direct path to asset file sqlite right? Mar 21 13:11:49 hmmmm Mar 21 13:12:21 http://stackoverflow.com/a/5861108/1056359 Mar 21 13:17:21 One q. If I create web code on android using phonegap and build this code also on iphone and windows mobile, then all the os's will have the same UI and functionallity as android right? Mar 21 13:17:25 What if I use OpenMobster Sync Plugin for the PhoneGap framework. And I write code for android phone for offline synchronization. If I compile this same code on iOS, windows mobile will they also have the same functionality and UI? Mar 21 13:17:59 Hope it's not too offset of android native app question Mar 21 13:19:15 yeah, you'd want to ask that wherever phonegap people congregate Mar 21 13:44:14 github down. Mar 21 13:45:22 github is up for me Mar 21 13:45:42 it's up and down; see https://status.github.com/ Mar 21 13:45:51 weird, i even used that website that checks if it's up for others Mar 21 13:46:05 down Mar 21 13:47:00 apperently there's an ongoing DoS attack on github Mar 21 13:47:10 http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ Mar 21 13:47:37 jaynewstrom, isup.me Mar 21 13:47:54 yeah, that page said it's down, but doesn't matter, the're under attack right now Mar 21 13:47:57 same site just shortened. interesting Mar 21 13:58:39 Hi. So I change the preview size of my camera preview yet the preview is always filling the video view causing the aspect ratios to be out ( stretched etc ). Mar 21 13:59:39 Is the only way to get the ratios right by setting the preview size and the videoview to the same size ? Mar 21 14:00:51 Or is there a way to get the preview to fit with its correct size within the videoview ? Mar 21 14:02:14 hi, I seem to be having some troubles calling the loop within my game thread, but I'm not sure what the issue may be. I call it just fine and I'm not sure why it wont call the loop. Here is an annotated chunk of code: http://pastie.org/8956525 Mar 21 14:02:21 You can see where my prints have failed Mar 21 14:02:44 er, this probably is better for viewing: http://pastie.org/pastes/8956525/text Mar 21 14:04:55 and here is an annotated version of the view that calls it: Mar 21 14:04:57 http://pastie.org/8956530 Mar 21 14:05:02 http://pastie.org/pastes/8956530/text Mar 21 14:06:24 both failed methods in the latter are what should be called within the loop in the thread. I have attempted to call my thread via "thread = new GameThread(getHolder(), this);" but I'm not sure why that wont work Mar 21 14:14:39 to stack overflow! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yic7IRO9d6I Mar 21 14:32:01 hi, i`m having an issue i dont really understand.....case 1: longclick on button opens another activity. if i press return on the other activity i get back to mainactivity. i can do this again and again....works properly. BUT case 2: long click on button opens alert dialog. if i select an item in the dialog it starts another activity. if i press return i get back to mainactivity. if i do it again (long click on button, starting another ac Mar 21 14:33:37 the issue happens when i want to start the alertdialog again Mar 21 14:34:10 as if the mainactivity was on pause or something Mar 21 14:37:42 I'm been trying to add a custom attribute to contacts that show up in the contacts app which I'd like to be clickable so the user can click it to get to my application Mar 21 14:38:03 could somebody point to some documentation for this please? Mar 21 14:57:46 Hi, who here is an expert in making their own Camera UI? Mar 21 15:06:12 people generally wont own up to being experts. Just ask your questions. Mar 21 15:12:30 hey guys, I have a header view on a list view, I want to get it's top, but mHeaderView.getTop() always returns 0 Mar 21 15:12:35 any ideas? Mar 21 15:14:03 Hi guys, I'm tinkering with a rooted device and adb. I can push/pull/rm a contacts2.db from the com.android.providers.contacts folder however I must reboot the phone in order for apps to get the new contacts2.db is there any command I can run to update the contacts contact provider? prehaps using the adb shell content Mar 21 15:16:07 hey ClockworkAnt, this channel is more for development. did you try #android ? Mar 21 15:16:18 you might find more answers there ;) Mar 21 15:16:35 *App development, I meant Mar 21 15:17:21 ha fmontano I've just come from there and they said I should try here! Mar 21 15:18:01 ClockworkAnt: I see.. hope someone here can help you then :) Mar 21 15:18:14 I sense this may be a question for stack overflow! Mar 21 15:18:22 sounds like it… Mar 21 15:33:57 hey all Mar 21 15:34:42 Does any one where I can find documentation of the duties / responsibilites of the Launcher in Android? Maybe even a "deep dive" of the default launcher Mar 21 15:37:05 the main 'duty' is responding to the appropriate Intent Mar 21 15:38:22 It lets the user launch stuff Mar 21 15:39:23 I'm mainly interested, because I might want to write a launcher from scratch Mar 21 15:40:20
