**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Mar 24 02:59:59 2014 Mar 24 03:12:25 hi! Mar 24 03:13:02 JakeWharton: has anything changed about robolecric gradle support ? Mar 24 03:13:29 sorry for bugging Mar 24 03:15:09 gordon_: Not really. The Pivotal guys forked my plugin but made it worse. Mar 24 03:17:52 eh... Mar 24 03:19:39 sup guys Mar 24 03:21:25 can somebody look @ this, and tell me why my webserver is acting like it's not receiving the proper cookie? (even though the Login activity before it can do two urlConnections and get back the proper JSON responses?) http://pastebin.com/en9EQQR6 Mar 24 03:24:19 I can see my additional headers in getRequestProperties() Mar 24 03:24:27 but they don't show up in getResponseHeaders() Mar 24 03:24:32 what the hell? Mar 24 03:42:57 Had anyone got details of Google I/O 2014 yet? Mar 24 03:50:43 It's in June Mar 24 03:50:48 24th or something Mar 24 03:51:16 25th Mar 24 03:55:00 hi, I've met a weird problem, I choose to use dagger/butterknife for object injection. And it do injected the Views. But failed to inject the Context and Otto Bus, anyone have a quick hint? Mar 24 03:55:17 hint: show code Mar 24 03:56:01 did you add a Context and Bus to the object graph? Mar 24 03:56:22 what exact behavior is "failed to inject"? null? exception? Mar 24 03:57:04 JakeWharton: null Mar 24 03:57:29 Yes, i have attachBaseContext in Application. Mar 24 03:58:16 and inject the BUS in baseActivity, which is inside a @Module Mar 24 03:58:55 it's okay when I used the maven for build before, then I met this problem when migrate to gradle. Mar 24 04:00:28 I'm using the dagger 1.2.1 and butterknife 4.0.1 Mar 24 04:00:50 need to see code Mar 24 04:01:45 thanks, 1 senc Mar 24 04:04:28 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r4ot9836bsc7d5t/uNYa2nNTkx Mar 24 04:06:39 as it worked in maven, can we see your build.gradle? Mar 24 04:07:19 https://www.dropbox.com/s/acj6a4x79dzyj6m/build.gradle Mar 24 04:10:15 tried dagger-compiler as provided not apt? Mar 24 04:12:20 are you actually injecting the baseactivity into the application graph? That's usually the first reason for null Mar 24 04:12:34 alex_PP: Module adapter for class com.globalwebhq.perfectkiss.RootModule could not be loaded. Please ensure that code generation was run for this module. Mar 24 04:12:44 *null values Mar 24 04:15:13 oh well Mar 24 04:15:18 yeah, it seems that was not inject to the object graph.. Mar 24 04:15:56 what's wrong with it? It crashed at ObjectGraph.create(rootModule); Mar 24 04:16:49 alex_PP: finding? Mar 24 04:23:26 i am trying to use tabs with my ActionBarActivity however the tabs are not appearing. im wondering if i have missed something. code here: http://pastebin.com/DczjG5yp Mar 24 04:24:03 don't you need to set a mode? Mar 24 04:24:25 setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS); Mar 24 04:24:26 f2prateek: that for me? Mar 24 04:24:42 teasp00n: yup Mar 24 04:25:03 f2prateek: yeah that seems legit i'll try that. cheers Mar 24 04:26:47 JakeWharton: so for tests only maven is possible for now ? Mar 24 04:26:55 f2prateek: is that for android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity ?? Mar 24 04:27:01 as tests I mean robolectric, sinve instrument tests are joke Mar 24 04:27:15 f2prateek: doesn't appear to be part of the api.. Mar 24 04:27:26 Gradle is perfectly capable of doing it, it just requires a bit of work Mar 24 04:28:09 I haven't ever used the support one but I assume the call would be getSupportActionBar().setNavigationMode(.....) Mar 24 04:28:10 I will look later at that Mar 24 04:28:25 is github project still up-to-date ? Mar 24 04:29:08 how are instrument tests a joke? Mar 24 04:29:30 the junit3 aspect is the biggest negative Mar 24 04:30:55 f2prateek: you are totally right, was looking at the wrong thing. thanks Mar 24 04:31:58 f2prateek: that's working now. thanks again Mar 24 04:32:11 pfn: and the fact that they require an entire emulator spun up Mar 24 04:32:51 if you're using them for integration or acceptance tests then that's fine Mar 24 04:33:01 a very acceptable tradeoff for full testing Mar 24 04:33:14 I am not a fan of stringent unit tests Mar 24 04:33:31 who needs to test logic anyways? Mar 24 04:33:31 it's integration that always concerns me Mar 24 04:34:02 tested as part of integration in any case Mar 24 04:34:32 on a high level Mar 24 04:34:37 also, idgaf Mar 24 04:47:27 pfn: tey are super slow ? Mar 24 04:47:57 not that slow, takes a few seconds to start but they run reasonably fast Mar 24 04:48:08 pfn: I'm tired of having gazylion integration tests Mar 24 04:48:13 in big application Mar 24 04:48:18 gives me bad memories Mar 24 04:48:28 I want a lot of small unit tests Mar 24 04:48:46 and less integration tests Mar 24 04:49:06 now most errors I get are null pointers Mar 24 04:49:09 from server Mar 24 04:49:14 so, yeah Mar 24 04:51:36 my problems are rarely logic issues, always integration Mar 24 04:57:47 well, thanks for all, problem solved. STUPID ME... Mar 24 04:58:51 in the BaseActivity, I should use Injector.inject(this) for object inject, but I used butterknife.inject instead ... Mar 24 04:59:18 ButterKnife has nothing to do with dependency injection Mar 24 04:59:26 it's boilerplate reduction for views Mar 24 05:00:16 yes, thanks for this. every time I need to inject, I should use dagger, lol Mar 24 05:25:53 g00s: u here? Mar 24 05:26:20 anyone have experience creating android services? Mar 24 05:26:45 i think im finally at the point in my project where i need to implement a service Mar 24 05:29:52 This code causes my app to crash on start : http://pastebin.com/tmnWSV7H Mar 24 05:30:24 Suppose I want to 'intercept' a bluetooth device communication, and prevent it from transferring to the system entirely. I have a handle on the BluetoothDevice, but I don't think it wants to give me what I'm looking for. Suggestions? Mar 24 05:30:37 First time trying to save data to a file... I think I'm doing it wrong. Mar 24 05:31:21 The save code doesn't cause the app to crash but the load code does Mar 24 05:33:41 Redmega, you're opening a file for reading, and for every character in the file, you're reading it as an integer, and dumping it into thin air Mar 24 05:33:56 and, to boot, closing immediately after Mar 24 05:34:04 Oh, whoops... Mar 24 05:34:22 move the fis.close() outside of the for statement, and try reading a buffer, rather than a single digit Mar 24 05:37:00 What should the buffer be initialized to Komak57? Mar 24 05:37:51 Or am I misunderstanding the android developers site :s Mar 24 05:39:44 there's no reading as int, but that paste looks horrible. what is mNames and how does that correspond to reading, and yes about the close Mar 24 05:40:15 mNames is an array of strings, I am reading the array saved as a file Mar 24 05:40:30 Sorry, this is the first time I'm messing with file saves and whatnot Mar 24 05:41:34 fis.read() should return '\0' when it reached end of file Mar 24 05:42:32 This is my output stream http://pastebin.com/J9eLyaWF Mar 24 05:42:34 well the fis.close() kills that Mar 24 05:42:54 Redmega: where is the tutorial u r following? cuz that paste is a mess! Mar 24 05:43:11 http://developer.android.com straight from there. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding Mar 24 05:43:43 Is my output correct at least? Let's start from there... Mar 24 05:47:16 Actually upon re testing, the output stream causes the app to crash as well...... Can anyone link me to a tutorial for saving data to file? Mar 24 05:48:43 Redmega: how long u been coding java? cuz seems only within passed 8hrs. Should do some googling&reading&understanding... sorry but that's where i see u as being Mar 24 05:49:30 It's true, I took a class last semester but I didnt practice since then. Now I'm working on a project to get back into the groove. Mar 24 05:50:37 google more, you'll get it. just reading a file based on an array of whatever's length seems weird. should read data and do whatever with it. no read data based on number of characters in a string Mar 24 06:07:19 Anyone knowledgable on how to intercept/override the bluetooth driver? Trying to handle a PS3 controller manually Mar 24 06:07:36 By default, it wants to run as a keyboard. Mar 24 06:10:51 canvs2321: is this better? http://pastebin.com/Zvm01qwi Mar 24 06:13:00 Redmega, better, not sure if you wanted the JSON parser after reading Mar 24 06:13:17 well, at all i mean Mar 24 06:14:34 I pulled most of the code from a project I did back when I was in the android class... Figured I needed it for writer. Let me look up the documentation on that then, thanks Mar 24 06:17:41 Depends on what you want to do with the data at that point Mar 24 06:18:29 On line 30, you have jsonString which contains the full document you just read. Mar 24 06:23:09 Exactly. So I need to parse it to fetch the different names... Mar 24 06:55:40 So much research, so very few results. Having vague difficulties determining if a paired device is connected (without testing of course), and having difficulties intercepting the stream data. Are there any open source Android/Linux PS3 drivers I can look into for tips? Mar 24 06:56:37 Also trying to determine what signal to send the device to kill the blinking lights Mar 24 06:58:25 Good morning.. I wonder if anyone could help with a piece of code that puzzles me a bit. I am trying to convert some bbcode to display in my webview but not all tags are converted : http://pastebin.com/yejPqdr8 Mar 24 06:59:03 how bad is it if I register my packages as foo.ca.blahblah instead of ca.foo.blahblah? Mar 24 06:59:51 the package doesn't matter Mar 24 06:59:55 it just needs to be unique Mar 24 07:41:47 How can I clear the shared preferences of my app on shutdown? Mar 24 07:44:18 there is no shutdown, that you control anyhow ;) Mar 24 07:46:35 I do believe onDestroy is called when shutdown kills your apps, but not 100% sure about that Mar 24 07:47:51 lgp171188, app shutdown or device? Mar 24 07:48:52 alex_PP, device shutdown Mar 24 07:48:57 oops, sorry :) Mar 24 07:52:50 Ok Mar 24 07:52:55 Hi, Mar 24 07:53:40 Is it just me ? I have the strangest thing. Two buttons on a screen. And a text view. when appending text in my code to the textview it goes to the button text... Mar 24 07:54:09 (0)(0) Mar 24 07:54:20 i'm shocked. Mar 24 07:54:40 Of course i'm sure if I completely redo the project everything is going to be just fine. Mar 24 07:54:50 but this is scary. Mar 24 07:54:56 lol Mar 24 07:55:53 It alls started after moving things around on the graphical layout in eclipse, a facility that seems to be buggy. Mar 24 07:57:26 Sounds like you have mixed up some view IDs. Have you looked at the layout xml as text? Mar 24 07:57:34 ^^ Mar 24 07:58:32 yes, but let me have another look. Mar 24 07:58:50 I don't see any mixup there. Mar 24 08:00:15 nope. Mar 24 08:00:27 textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1); and that is the id in the xml... Mar 24 08:00:56 yet appending text to it it goes to the text of a button. Mar 24 08:01:19 I dunno if I should laugh or cry. Mar 24 08:01:23 lol Mar 24 08:01:46 Just redoing everything will of course fix this, but I cant have this crap good lord. Mar 24 08:02:11 android:id="@+id/textView1" Mar 24 08:03:09 Unknown0BC, that IS the only item with that particular id, right? Mar 24 08:03:48 Komak57, yes. Mar 24 08:04:14 (0)(0) Mar 24 08:05:24 Woke up this morning and I realized my device' IMEI number has changed? What? How is this possible? I didn't do anything. Mar 24 08:05:59 Unknown0BC: Do you have a whole lot of code, or could you paste the xml and code that uses the view through pastebin? It might make it easier to help you. Mar 24 08:05:59 something "underlaying" and not accessible via code ( xml or .java ) seems to have gone wrong with this project. Mar 24 08:06:16 Unknown0BC: restart eclipse, look again. Mar 24 08:06:47 Once in a while i'll get some weird memory error where R. data is mixed up. Mar 24 08:07:00 Usually R.id's Mar 24 08:07:20 Don't remember the other things I use to do to fix that Mar 24 08:07:45 Thorbear, I do have a lot of code all over, but the point its not in the code. Mar 24 08:08:00 nor the xml Mar 24 08:08:48 And a restart of eclipse solved the problem. Mar 24 08:08:55 ^5 Komak57 Mar 24 08:09:05 ~stares at your hand blankly~ Mar 24 08:09:30 hahah ok well thanks. Mar 24 08:10:05 it's 4AM, should have dropped this project and been in bed hours ago. Been playing too much with unity lately, and my android programming skills have gotten a tad rusty Mar 24 08:15:28 So ive got a sql db and each row has a long auto-incrementing id, float CurrentValue, and 3 string values. So my users will be changing the float value frequently and I am trying to figure out programattically, the best way, or really anyway, of saving the old float and a timestamp for retrieval and manipulation Mar 24 08:16:55 i hope this makes some sense, all i can think of is to add another column to my table that is a String, and then just append the timestamp and old float value to the string along with a deliminating character and then each time the float changes the string will just get longer and longer and i would just write logic to parse the long ass string and seperate it into values Mar 24 08:19:08 n.e.1 with 320+dp wanting to check a virtual pendulum? arno-nuehm.square7.ch/and/firsttry.apk Mar 24 08:30:30 the4ndy, a second table with id, value & timestamp? Mar 24 08:30:42 keep adding rows everytime the value changes Mar 24 08:31:16 selec t* from tblHistory where id = *the id you care about* order by timestamp desc Mar 24 08:31:57 if you find yourself wanting to add a delimiter in a data base, add another table that references the first Mar 24 08:32:18 this is what databases are for Mar 24 08:35:28 ok that makes sense alex_PP Mar 24 08:36:06 ill try that Mar 24 08:36:34 OxFEEDBACC i downloaded and tested your app Mar 24 08:36:47 anything you want me to do, im uploading a couple of screen shots i took running it Mar 24 08:37:04 i know it crashes on exit (green button)... Mar 24 08:37:05 Im using a Nexus 5, i think i have 400+ dp Mar 24 08:37:13 yeah the green button force closes Mar 24 08:38:30 nothing i expect you to do... would just like to hear opinions... :-/ Mar 24 08:39:34 http://imgur.com/dxJKO0c,gNWbbkj Mar 24 08:40:03 those are the two screens i took before hitting the green button Mar 24 08:41:13 yeah, that's my baby :- Mar 24 08:41:15 :-D Mar 24 08:41:51 i can assume its some form of compass slash just a reading of a bunch of sensors Mar 24 08:42:33 After maybe 20 seconds app hangs or freezes and then maybe 4 or so seconds later it goes crazy with animations Mar 24 08:42:48 this seems to continue as i use the app Mar 24 08:42:52 it's not so clear, but the "+"/"-" buttons control the friction... the value of which is shown in row two, left column... Mar 24 08:43:10 what? hangs/freezes? Mar 24 08:43:14 like the whole thing Mar 24 08:43:17 never did that here :-( Mar 24 08:43:25 the numbers stop changing and the graphics stop moving Mar 24 08:44:49 two weak points are: when gravity is to the top of the device (i. e. device like upside-down), it isn't calculated properly... Mar 24 08:45:14 and if it is like flat on the table, the yellow bat may disappear... Mar 24 08:45:35 when it crashes i need to force close it to be able to start it again Mar 24 08:45:41 1. is the typical quadrant problem of atan() Mar 24 08:46:12 second is probably a value going to INF that i don't catch (yet) Mar 24 08:46:44 but i never saw it crash... Mar 24 08:46:50 or hang Mar 24 08:47:53 i cant get it to stop moving any more Mar 24 08:48:16 so i guess that was just my phone Mar 24 08:48:19 try to press the orange button to reset... Mar 24 08:49:00 yeah the orange button brings the yellow bar to the botttom of the circle Mar 24 08:49:05 i should have labelled it :-/ Mar 24 08:49:54 the + and - are changing the value in the 2nd row left side as well, im not sure what the effect should be, it seems to slow down the movement of the yellow bar Mar 24 08:50:20 [09:43:16] it's not so clear, but the "+"/"-" buttons control the friction... the value of which is shown in row two, left column... Mar 24 08:51:06 lower it, then the yellow bat will keep more of its pulse... Mar 24 08:51:39 right i didnt know what you meant by friction Mar 24 08:51:48 (raise it above 1.0 and the app will behave undefined) Mar 24 08:51:55 true Mar 24 08:52:11 im also getting force close when i touch the notifcation shade area of my app Mar 24 08:52:15 the app* Mar 24 08:52:20 of my screen in the app Mar 24 08:52:43 it's my first try at all with both android API and java... and i didn't work on catching all errors yet... Mar 24 08:53:10 "notification shade area"? Mar 24 08:53:38 k, think i got it... Mar 24 08:53:58 i didn't implement a global onPause() handler... Mar 24 08:54:23 so it stops when interrupted... should be the same issue as the green button... Mar 24 08:57:59 sorry i was trying to screen record the isse Mar 24 08:58:30 if i pull down the notification shade, or even touch it or get too close and i assume activate the listener for it, then the app crashes Mar 24 08:59:39 heres the video if you want to see it https://vidd.me/rEV Mar 24 08:59:43 as i said, that's probably because the system pauses the app, but it has no onPause handler... Mar 24 08:59:52 i guess though you already know the issue Mar 24 08:59:57 true Mar 24 09:01:48 I dont always implement an onPause or an onResume in my apps but going home and coming back works fine....it just calls the onCreate again and in the proccess i think it kills a bunch of stuff in the activity and restarts portions of the activity Mar 24 09:02:29 okay, that sounds reasonable... Mar 24 09:02:50 or at least thats what i understand, so am i missing something? Do you NEED an onPause and onResume or do you use like Threads or Handlers or something that needs onPause and onResume (not that those need them, im just guessing) Mar 24 09:03:11 because i'm wrapping all the UI stuff in a custom class uic Mar 24 09:03:23 ah, ok Mar 24 09:04:42 what is the app for? are you just practicing android development or are you testing certain APIs or do you plan to make a compass app of some sorts? Mar 24 09:04:51 those uics are then parented with their respective upper levels, and crash when the are re-parented... i saw logcat spitting such a message at me... Mar 24 09:05:26 two of your guesses are correct :-D Mar 24 09:06:10 i was just looking how to do it at all... then i was also checking how to read sensors... Mar 24 09:06:25 are u praticing android dev by making a compass app Mar 24 09:06:38 maybe i will make a game from it... nothing with compass though... Mar 24 09:07:14 o Mar 24 09:07:38 am i reading a missing "k"? :-D Mar 24 09:37:40 so whenever I launch monkeyrunner it freezes my whole X window session (sorta, the mouse still works, nothing else does) Mar 24 09:38:07 anyone else have this issue? Mar 24 09:40:46 try to launch with reduced privileges :) Mar 24 09:40:54 nice, renice Mar 24 09:42:30 x window session on android? (i know it exists, just curious about wether monkeyrunner runs under X) Mar 24 09:44:03 No, im running it on my computer Mar 24 09:44:06 on arch Mar 24 09:44:09 not on a pone Mar 24 09:44:12 phone Mar 24 09:45:47 oh, emulator i guess... Mar 24 09:48:15 I just doubled clicked on monkeyrunner Mar 24 09:53:36 I am new to android application development. I am in the process of developing my first app using Eclipse ADT. What all should I put under version control? Mar 24 09:55:44 lgp171188, why are you using eclipse ADT when you are new Mar 24 09:56:05 IntelliJ is a better IDE imho and android studio is fairly stable as is Mar 24 09:56:23 we are using AS as our IDE for production Mar 24 09:56:52 lemonxah: I use Eclipse for my Java development work. So I just installed the ADT plugin to use it for Android dev work. Mar 24 09:58:24 i would use IntelliJ for my java dev work aswell :) Mar 24 09:58:56 but i understand what you mean, i dont know how well the gradle plugin is integrated with Eclipse so i cant tell you what should be checked in Mar 24 10:00:58 hahahahaaaaaaaa... my IDE is a dusty kate 2.5.10 and even so dusty zsh 4.3.10 :-D Mar 24 10:41:16 Hello! I notice that when overwriting onDraw of a Button subclass I still get the Button being drawn as usual, even if I don't call super.onDraw. Can I disable that? Mar 24 10:44:11 hello Mar 24 10:44:23 I'm having smoe issues with MediaRecorder Mar 24 10:45:18 the doc for the function setCamera says I must call before .prepare() and I must do camera.unlock(). I did that but I still get IllegalStateException unless I call setCamera right at the beginning of initializing the MediaRecorder object Mar 24 10:45:26 is there any way to avoid this problem? Mar 24 10:46:12 or rather... my main issue is that I want to prepare a recorder while another one is running s.t. I can switch between recordings as seamlessly as possible - i.e. make 2 files that if joined would look like a continuous video Mar 24 10:46:21 has anyone tried something similar? Mar 24 10:48:24 just wondering if someone could please possibly help me for a min, trying to stop my service that takes a photo, on the logcat i have that broadcast reciever is leaked, got my code sort of working, but adding in a control im doing something wrong still, cant see where i need to edit http://pastebin.com/4NmmQ49R Mar 24 11:20:23 can someone please help me unregister my reciever here http://pastebin.com/8niuDjq5 ? Mar 24 11:22:35 mhmm.. does anyone know why this (when starting the service multiple times with an alarmtimer) always return Thread alive and running even when the thread is no more in the loop? http://pastebin.com/324BzvSL Mar 24 11:27:01 Hey guys? Mar 24 11:28:41 Small question, say I wanted to convert a byte array to a string (Because that's what my payment portal wants) Mar 24 11:29:00 what encoding does the byte array have? Mar 24 11:29:22 utf-8 Mar 24 11:29:34 let me answer it the java way Mar 24 11:30:21 I'm encrypting with sha-256 and I'm not sure if it'll screw up if I do DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary and then just return string(bytes). Mar 24 11:30:27 ...Oh, wait. Mar 24 11:30:28 LOL. Mar 24 11:30:37 Sorry, that was what I WANTED to use. Mar 24 11:30:41 sha-256 is not encryption Mar 24 11:31:03 It's a one-way hash. Mar 24 11:31:05 Hi, Could someone, please, make a small, but a big favor for me? If you have a working Eclipseinstallation, please, could you tell which java version, Eclipse version and which plugins do you use? I have huge trouble getting anything to work. I tried Eclipse 4.3.2, 4.4M6 and android-eclipse bundle. I tried Java 6, 7 and 8. I want instasearch/quicksearch, codepro tools, adt plugin, eclipse memory analyzer and font feature plugins Mar 24 11:31:28 The fact that I don't know that kinda makes it clear why I'm here asking questions, though. Mar 24 11:31:56 IndiumIndeed, not a troll - I found intellij idea to be much better, you should try it Mar 24 11:31:58 SHA-256 is accurately a one way lossy compression function. One-way encryption and hash both apply to it as well Mar 24 11:32:15 Ah. Mar 24 11:32:41 Well, I can't find the java way of decoding a byte array into a string. I have to admit, I did that the last time when Java 1.1.2 came out Mar 24 11:32:42 Well, I guess in short, provided I do public static String byteArrayToString(byte[] bytes) and return a string to the hashing function, nothing's going to bite me in the ass, yes? Mar 24 11:33:06 you want to give a bytearray to a hashing function Mar 24 11:33:22 The byte array's already been digested. Mar 24 11:33:30 Now I want the string representation. Mar 24 11:33:30 then you have bytes Mar 24 11:33:53 ohh, so you actually want bytes as hex digits or base64 or ascii85 or base32 or whatever is in your specs Mar 24 11:34:09 Voicu: I used intellij for couple of months, but I have 3 problems with it: A) Android deployment is slow (I read somewhere that Eclipse caches compiled classes), B) Profiling android not to my knowledge supported as well as eclipse C) my project stopped working after a while, seemed to work back in eclipse with the same code. Mar 24 11:34:20 mlehmk, new String(byteArray, "UTF-8") Mar 24 11:34:22 Indeed. Mar 24 11:34:31 throws UnsupportedEncodingException if the encoding is unsupported Mar 24 11:34:44 sonOfRa: Ohh thanks. That's what I was looking for, but Immaterial doesn't really need. Mar 24 11:34:47 I set up a try and catch for that. Mar 24 11:35:03 However, since all JVMs must support UTF-8, it is safe to wrap that exception in a runtime exception, and fall over backwards if that ever gets thrown Mar 24 11:35:09 Also nosuchalgorithm because that was also giving me hell. Mar 24 11:35:24 IndiumIndeed, in my experience intellij is faster on deploy, I guess it depends on the project. About the code not working, yes, it's a little more difficult to setup, I had problems too but with a little more effort all were fixable Mar 24 11:35:49 IndiumIndeed, anyway, use eclipse if you want, I was just suggesting it in case you didn't know about it Mar 24 11:35:52 Voicu: well I am using Libgdx, not sure if related to that Mar 24 11:35:56 sonofRa, so new String(myByteArray, "UTF-8") should do me fine? Mar 24 11:35:58 at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9655181/convert-from-byte-array-to-hex-string-in-java the answer from Pointer Null is the cleanest I think so far Mar 24 11:36:14 Ah, thanks mlehmk. Mar 24 11:36:22 I really appreciate the help. Mar 24 11:36:34 I would be happy with Eclipse, if I get it to work properly that seems difficult though. Mar 24 11:36:50 it's silly, as the lack of basic thing in frameworks lead to WTFs Mar 24 11:37:16 Don't even get me started on eclipse. Mar 24 11:37:20 as people write their own algorithms and that badly for things the framework already provides cleanly Mar 24 11:37:31 I spend more time working out eclipse bugs than I do developing. Mar 24 11:38:01 there is http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/ for these things though Mar 24 11:38:07 if you don't mind their licensing Mar 24 11:38:26 Ah, I....actually think I already have that in libs. Mar 24 11:39:02 I'm coming from the C# world and there is a BitConverter class for stuff like encoding a byte array to base16 Mar 24 11:39:23 actually, C# has at least 3 different ways to make hex from bytearrays Mar 24 11:39:24 Yeah, see javax has DatatypeConverter, but. Mar 24 11:39:35 I have had also my battles with Eclipse, it is hell, but when it works, I think it is better than intellij. Unfortunately times when it works are not so common. Mar 24 11:40:07 I spent like three hours getting errors because it was refusing to update. Mar 24 11:40:38 "Please?" Mar 24 11:40:39 http://dragonsaga.gsquare.com/files/attach/images/146/904/133/aed7af495f59035cb6041b6eebdac65a.jpg Mar 24 11:41:30 Immaterial: hahaha i knew you were aussie just from your 'but' suffix Mar 24 11:41:43 Well I have used probably month of my life with battling Eclipse problems. But it did not look that much better in Intellij to me. Maybe I have to try Netbeans, but I think it also does not have as good Android support as Eclpse. Mar 24 11:42:14 Android studio's not entirely terrible? Mar 24 11:42:41 Lul, that I am bankai_ Mar 24 11:42:52 QLD ? Mar 24 11:43:07 Android studio does not support (to my knowledge) Java Application compiling, which I need. Mar 24 11:43:46 nuh they stripped that out, gotta use IJ for that Mar 24 11:44:17 bankai_, used to be. Moved to victoria. Mar 24 11:44:24 You? Mar 24 11:44:32 Intellij seemed fine, while I was using it for Android Application development. Going to Android not so so. Mar 24 11:44:51 my condolences :P former vic, current qld :) Mar 24 11:45:36 Haha, compared to brisbane man. Mar 24 11:45:45 Melbourne's not bad at all. Mar 24 11:46:07 Compared to mount isa, they're both fucking shrines. Mar 24 11:46:26 people still live there? :S hehe Mar 24 11:47:01 How is Melbourne traffic situation? I got that impression that people spend a lot of time in the traffic jams. Mar 24 11:47:02 can someone please help me unregister my broadcast receiver? http://pastebin.com/8niuDjq5 Mar 24 11:48:07 Bad, actually. Mar 24 11:48:16 But the public transport's worse, so what can you do. Mar 24 11:48:33 I can either drive or get grinded on my an elderly asian woman for an hour in the morning. Mar 24 11:49:06 While I've been led to believe she'll love me long time, it's still uncomfortable. Mar 24 11:49:37 I'm gonna try again: has anyone attempted (and maybe succeded) to init a MediaRecorder while another is running? Mar 24 11:49:47 i.e. switch between 2 recordings seamlessly Mar 24 11:50:18 No, what issue is arising? Mar 24 11:51:06 Immaterial, either the .prepare method fails with InvalidStateException, the camera fails to lock or a combination of those Mar 24 11:51:28 I can't find a way to set it up so I can just to .stop on the old recorder and .start on the new one Mar 24 11:51:41 without releasing the camera and recreating everything from scratch Mar 24 11:52:00 If you're not freeing up the resource, I can't see why it would work, then? Mar 24 11:52:14 can someone please help me unregister my broadcast receiver? http://pastebin.com/8niuDjq5 Mar 24 11:52:37 Immaterial, so it is not possible to have the camera shared between 2 MediaRecorders in any way? Mar 24 11:52:48 Immaterial, I haven't foudn a definite answer regarding this Mar 24 11:53:25 Not as far as I know, no. Mar 24 11:54:01 What you could do is maybe release the camera and then join the footage seprataly afterwards, so the output kinda makes it look seamless? Mar 24 11:54:04 Even when it's not? Mar 24 11:54:14 To be fair I don't know what you're applying this to, though. Mar 24 11:54:35 Immaterial, I'm trying to stream to RTMP and so far all the methods I have are lacking in some way Mar 24 11:56:46 method 1: MediaRecorder + files which has the above problem, method 2: MediaRecorder + LocalSocket which means I need to wrap the packets manually, method 3: ffmpeg all the way whcih is not hw accelerated Mar 24 11:58:09 Voicu; Mar 24 11:58:11 https://www.vitamio.org/en/ Mar 24 11:58:12 Eh? Mar 24 11:58:52 Immaterial, no, I'm trying to stream FROM the device, vitamio is for decoding and playing Mar 24 12:02:04 Wel then; Mar 24 12:02:05 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10123498/streaming-rtmp-stream-live-from-android-camera-to-fms-or-wowza-or-red5-convert Mar 24 12:02:18 The second answer's about as comprehensive as you're going to get. Mar 24 12:02:28 Sadfax. Mar 24 12:04:07 Immaterial, yes, I foudn that SO question too Mar 24 12:09:33 I'd like to add custom attributes to existing contacts in the contacts app. I've come across this code https://github.com/nemezis/SampleContacts but it seems to add new contacts of a new contact account type. is this the best that can be done with android? or is it possible to add custom attributes to the existing contacts of the contacts application? Mar 24 12:22:18 ;-; Mar 24 12:22:31 Are payment portals always a pain in the ass? Mar 24 12:23:23 How can I use DownloadManager to download a file but only allow my application to access it once it has completed? Mar 24 12:23:39 Check the size of the file first? Mar 24 12:24:15 Because from looking at the code, setting the destination URI to null is supposed to save it to system cache, but other applications can still access it Mar 24 12:24:31 Or, ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE Mar 24 12:24:47 Read the docs, man. Mar 24 12:25:11 There is nothing in the docs about limiting access to downloaded files Mar 24 12:25:48 At least not from what I saw. If you can point me in the right direction I'll be very grateful Mar 24 12:26:16 Okay, so some other app is trying to access the file? Mar 24 12:26:19 Or is it your own. Mar 24 12:26:49 If it's your own; Mar 24 12:26:49 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.html Mar 24 12:27:36 Another application CAN access the file because it appears in the download list. The URI is just content://downloads/my_downloads/some_number instead of file://path/to/sdcard Mar 24 12:28:07 Oh, so essentially you want to limit any and all access to a file until the download is done..? Mar 24 12:28:44 No, I want only my application to be able to use it Mar 24 12:29:00 Especially after the download has finished Mar 24 12:29:25 Then I have no idea. Mar 24 12:29:28 Ask ra or something. Mar 24 12:29:36 I *could* implement my own download manager, but that seems like a huge waste of time as there is no way I'll do it any better than the original one Mar 24 12:29:48 What's ra? Mar 24 12:30:21 Download the file yourself and store it in your app's sandbox... Mar 24 12:31:15 luc4, if I download it myself, I'd have to implement all the redirection logic and stuff by myself Mar 24 12:31:31 luc4, Something I wish to avoid if possible Mar 24 12:34:08 hi Mar 24 12:34:26 i have a project using android 3.2, i need put it in 2.3.3 Mar 24 12:34:46 when i change my api, i have an errors with actionbar Mar 24 12:34:51 how i can solve this? Mar 24 12:35:25 by fixing the error ;) Mar 24 12:35:42 by carefully evaluating whether you really need to support 2.3.3 and realizing you don't Mar 24 12:36:20 also, by doing what everyone else does, and pretending that 3.X never really existed Mar 24 12:37:03 hehe, so by combining both your suggestions he should just upgrade to 4.x instead? :D Mar 24 12:37:45 that's the idea Mar 24 12:37:54 quite right Mar 24 12:38:32
