**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Mar 31 03:00:00 2014 Mar 31 03:01:28 Is there a way to get/store (on the android device) the sound being played by the native FM radio app of an android device? Mar 31 03:02:22 Borgirius: usually not Mar 31 03:02:32 well, maybe by playing a bit with microphone Mar 31 03:03:24 private static Typeface getRobotoThin(final Context context) { Mar 31 03:03:25 if (mRobotoLightTypeface == null) { Mar 31 03:03:25 mRobotoThinTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), Mar 31 03:03:25 "Roboto-Thin.ttf"); Mar 31 03:03:25 } Mar 31 03:03:25 return mRobotoThinTypeface; Mar 31 03:03:25 } Mar 31 03:05:18 p_l... is there any audio buffer or so, where all media resources are processed? Mar 31 03:06:36 Borgirius: the thing is, in more than one device equipped with FM radio, the sound from the FM receiver *never* touches the "application processor" (i.e. where the Android runs) Mar 31 03:06:55 the driver and FM Radio app only setup tuner and mixer Mar 31 03:07:48 at least on the devices I dealt with that had FM Radio, the output of FM receiver was *physically* unaccessible to software Mar 31 03:08:02 (similarly to phone audio - phone, not media) Mar 31 03:10:07 I'm trying to programmatically add custom checkboxes/radiobuttons. The images add great but for some reason no text is appearing. Any idea where I'm going wrong? https://gist.github.com/guitarlover52/dd080d46083e9a9dad75 Mar 31 03:11:53 p_l.. and if I hypothetically develop an FM Radio app. In that case theoretically, could I save the received audio? Mar 31 03:13:07 Borgirius: ... I just said that the audio stream on many devices is *NOT* connected to application processor Mar 31 03:13:32 that means the only shot you have at recording it is hoping the microphone picks it up Mar 31 03:14:46 there were tricks around that on old qualcomm devices, because of single integrated SoC and Qualcomm for some reason exposing the buffers to application processor Mar 31 03:18:01 Thks a lot for the info, p_l : ) Mar 31 03:33:39 huh, well this is counterintuitive. so thats normal for android. i would expect onCreateOptionsMenu to be called before onStart(). since onStart is when the UI is visible Mar 31 03:34:24 Can anyonne help me with http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22753225/ondateset-interface-getting-a-stack-overflow-error Mar 31 03:38:22 g00s: onCreateOptionsMenu is called when the user queries to create the options menu, if i'm not mistaken. Mar 31 03:38:51 Question: I know how i can dynamicly add views to other views etc. But can I also add a view / layout straight from an xml which isn't part of the activity? Mar 31 03:39:19 ThomQ: setContentView() ? Mar 31 03:40:07 not sure if i missed the point Mar 31 03:40:39 zpr: no i want to add it to an already exsisting view. Mar 31 03:40:52 with addView Mar 31 03:41:03 yes, you get an Inflator Mar 31 03:41:14 ThomQ: use an inflator Mar 31 03:41:58 hmm. i dont understand how, its the action bar. Mar 31 03:42:01 Ahh, I can inflate multiple layouts into 1 view? Mar 31 03:42:26 inflator.inflate() returns a View Mar 31 03:42:31 you can use that view to do whatever you want with it Mar 31 03:43:22 g00s: it can be any options menu you want, including the one that inflates when you press the "back/settings" physical keY Mar 31 03:43:31 which often hides Mar 31 03:44:56 bankai_au there ? Mar 31 03:45:03 yerp Mar 31 03:45:09 yerp! Mar 31 03:45:51 so this is one thing i'm wondering if i can use RxJava for. i need to wait for a service to be bound, query that, and then with the result, update an ActionView in my action bar Mar 31 03:46:06 so far , just been using it to compose threaded things Mar 31 03:47:05 there are some timing dependencies. (1) status can't be gotten until serviceConnection exists; (2) actionView can't be updated until … whenever the hell android decides to call onCreateOptionsMenu Mar 31 03:47:27 its /this kind of crap/ i hate most about android Mar 31 03:47:37 along with the other crap i hate most about android , heh Mar 31 03:47:45 i wonder if Rx would help here Mar 31 03:47:47 so much hate Mar 31 03:48:05 i personally dislike java but enjoy coding for android Mar 31 03:48:31 g00s: to answer your question, i don't know :S i struggle a lot with rx :S Mar 31 03:52:30 otherwise its al a bunch of defensive programming, checking for null, and calling updateUi() whenever anything could have changed Mar 31 03:54:18 i bet somebody got around this my posting a delayed runnable :D Mar 31 03:54:25 pos Mar 31 04:13:18 thanks zpr btw Mar 31 04:25:22 so bankai_au , you may remember http://slid.es/yaroslavheriatovych/frponandroid/ Mar 31 04:25:57 click > once, V twice - what we're trying to avoid Mar 31 04:26:24 last slide on the bottom is what i'm aiming for Mar 31 04:44:36 smali files are a pain Mar 31 04:48:08 JesusFreke those are fighting words Mar 31 05:01:26 g00s, simple answer, never use bound services unless ipc is involved Mar 31 05:02:23 as for solving that problem, I can use two promises and join or sequence them easily Mar 31 05:02:59 i'm sure rx can do it too, probably using the same .join() … just have to adjust my thinking to a dataflow way Mar 31 05:03:49 and rx java isn't remotely functional, just reactive Mar 31 05:07:04 hm, whats this rxjava-promises library Mar 31 05:07:43 could be a copycat futures lib Mar 31 05:08:22 if copycat means implementing Promises/A+ i suppose Mar 31 05:08:40 spring reactor had promises but i couldn't get it to work on android Mar 31 05:09:13 No idea what that is Mar 31 05:09:55 you can just use my future/promise implementation Mar 31 05:10:25 I haven't updated my gist with some bugfixes, but the concept is sound Mar 31 05:11:03 https://gist.github.com/pfn/9487660 Mar 31 05:14:57 seems like there is a lot of prior art here. i'm unfamiliar with promises Mar 31 05:15:03 i guess this laibrary https://github.com/CodeAndMagic/android-deferred-object Mar 31 05:15:10 inspired this https://github.com/jdeferred/jdeferred Mar 31 05:17:07 i think i need to understand the concept better Mar 31 05:18:05 all this stuff seems odly wrong in java ;) Mar 31 05:19:45 pfn i'll have to take a look at your gist; whenever i see List> i think .. rx Mar 31 05:20:34 Promises in Java? I still don't know why I need them in javascript Mar 31 05:21:02 i think for chaining callbacks right ? Mar 31 05:22:02 yah, but js did that already? Mar 31 05:22:38 hm, dunno Mar 31 05:23:14 callbacks obscure logic badly enough as it is Mar 31 05:24:09 as least the way js does it Mar 31 05:24:14 someone please explain to me how to pack a boot.img I have a ZImage and ramdisk.img Mar 31 05:24:29 Magmas read topic, please Mar 31 05:24:59 tl;dr try #android-root Mar 31 05:25:14 mean Mar 31 05:25:19 ty Mar 31 05:26:12 capella the mess i got into was: onCreateOptionsMenu() inflated a menu with an ActionView in it. I needed to update that based on whats goin on in a service. one gets a reference to view there. before then, you can't access. but the timing with regards to other callbacks is undefined in the docs Mar 31 05:26:41 i thought onCreateOptionsMenu would get called before onStart Mar 31 05:27:02 maybe it kinda sometimes gets called before onResume (who knows?) Mar 31 05:27:28 mmm ... not until it's needed / instantiated I thought ... Mar 31 05:27:40 well the actionView is always in the AB Mar 31 05:27:47 showAsAction="always" Mar 31 05:28:17 so it show show "along with its fragment" a little before / after whatever Mar 31 05:28:32 *should show Mar 31 05:30:11 maybe i will set its value in inPrepareOptionsMenu Mar 31 05:30:15 g00s: i think i may have cleaned up my code neatly to avoid leaks Mar 31 05:30:17 :D Mar 31 05:30:25 jareddlc i doubt it, ha ! Mar 31 05:30:28 XD Mar 31 05:30:44 probably, but atleast im not saving the context directly Mar 31 05:30:47 :) Mar 31 05:30:48 :) Mar 31 05:30:49 maybe i am indirectly Mar 31 05:31:09 capella so, inPrepareOptionsMenu i can update the actionView .. but what if the service hasn't bound :| Mar 31 05:31:18 so , i just kicked the can down the road Mar 31 05:32:08 in the past, i would have put an updateMe() in onPrepareOptionsMenu and onServiceConnected() which checked both conditions were true, and then updated … but thats sucks Mar 31 05:32:55 Oh, heh - I've done that in code Mar 31 05:33:02 and i think thats what most devs do Mar 31 05:33:09 which results in … spaghetti Mar 31 05:33:34 Yep ... And I object to the suggestion when my reviewer made it, but there wasnt anything better Mar 31 05:33:47 I wrote it, he signed it Mar 31 05:39:26 Nilium i think i need to make a Dash RxJava docset Mar 31 05:39:45 looks like there is a tool to suck up javadoc Mar 31 05:40:07 Yep. Mar 31 05:40:21 Though in Dash 2.0, you can just download any docset off of Maven Mar 31 05:41:16 so .. if rxjava is on maven, it will just work ? Mar 31 05:41:22 mavenCentral Mar 31 05:41:28 Only if you download the docset. Mar 31 05:44:01 I'm trying to add an ad to my app and although it displays fine, the rest of the screen is black! How do I get it to display along with my app? Mar 31 05:45:08 thats a pretty handy app right there Mar 31 05:54:40 Nilium may i ask you; since you seem to be quite polyglot and probably know a technique i'm missing from my imperative tunnel vision. if you had one thread, and you needed to complete an action once all of several events occurred, how would you do that ? Mar 31 05:55:08 Semaphore. Mar 31 05:55:09 obviously, looking for something shnazzy like promises, or whatever you can think of Mar 31 05:55:16 same thread ? Mar 31 05:55:18 g00s, sure, some similar concepts apply, sure Mar 31 05:55:38 Ah. Count. Mar 31 05:55:39 my implementation is just derived from Twitter futures Mar 31 05:56:36 countdown latch in java Mar 31 05:56:58 i'd use that if events were coming from other threads Mar 31 05:57:08 and i needed to wait until they were done Mar 31 05:57:20 single thread... Mar 31 05:57:27 He's apparently doing it single-threaded, in which case, keep a running count. Mar 31 05:57:47 Or a set of flags. Mar 31 05:57:53 otoh, its a state machine with checks / guards Mar 31 05:57:58 Yes, in a single thread it should be obvious Mar 31 05:58:29 i thought somehow i could use promises in a way i'm not familiar with Mar 31 05:58:53 basically, to chain events (when x is done, y is done, z is done) then -> do that Mar 31 05:59:16 but these aren't futures Mar 31 05:59:24 just plain old callbacks on the main thread Mar 31 05:59:28 from android Mar 31 05:59:53 basically, trying to do this without global state Mar 31 06:00:04 (counters, flags, checking if things are null, etc) Mar 31 06:00:51 you can still treat them as promises, but simple counters and flags are much more straightforward to comprehend Mar 31 06:01:37 ok Mar 31 06:02:45 I feel like having a bowl of shredded wheat. Mar 31 06:02:50 if I wanted to use a promise I'd just model it as a Promise Mar 31 06:02:53 And now I miss being able to eat grapenuts.. Mar 31 06:03:08 gluten intolerance? Mar 31 06:03:24 Fractured tooth. Mar 31 06:03:35 oh no ! bite how ? Mar 31 06:03:39 uh Mar 31 06:03:54 Was going to get it crowned but the nerve went all haywire so I had to give it time to recover Mar 31 06:04:18 i almost broke a tooth on a rock in my lentils Mar 31 06:04:24 now i sort my lentils Mar 31 06:04:25 Also had to pack said tooth with a sedative filling, which has helped a lot Mar 31 06:05:05 At any rate, should be getting something set up to get the tooth crowned soon, which makes me slightly nervous because it means grinding down my tooth and putting a metal cap on it Mar 31 06:05:33 But there's no other real treatment for a fracture and it's probably just putting off the inevitable loss of the tooth Mar 31 06:06:34 seems like medline often has some adhesive / therapy to damage teeth but .. by dentist never knows about it Mar 31 06:06:44 to fix damage teeth Mar 31 06:07:11 Eh, there's no fixing teeth Mar 31 06:07:21 like this stuff that prevents bacteria from growing on it, would seem to make cleanings thing of the past Mar 31 06:07:28 are we talking about british people Mar 31 06:07:30 Nilium they are close or able to regrow teeth Mar 31 06:07:33 and their teeth Mar 31 06:07:41 or is it your dogs Mar 31 06:07:53 yeah, my dogs teeth need a cleaning Mar 31 06:07:57 doggy breath for sure Mar 31 06:08:09 thepoosh would you like to volunteer ? Mar 31 06:08:15 for what? Mar 31 06:08:18 Not the English, though I have teeth about as bad as them Mar 31 06:08:38 english teeth must be a thing i don't know about Mar 31 06:08:39 g00s: what am I volunteering for ? Mar 31 06:08:51 thepoosh scrape tartar off my dog's molars Mar 31 06:09:09 gotta get under the gum line ! Mar 31 06:09:14 YES! Mar 31 06:09:16 and keep your fingers Mar 31 06:09:17 bring them over Mar 31 06:10:21 bankai_ today is our dogs' lucky day ! Mar 31 06:10:35 One upside to getting a crown, though, is I get a partially metal tooth, which therefore puts me on the path to being a cyborg. Mar 31 06:11:06 Also since it's a far-back molar i don't have to care about what it looks like, which is nice. Mar 31 06:12:45 Nilium one step closer to becoming Dr Claw Mar 31 06:12:50 you already have the cats Mar 31 06:15:26 g00s, anyway, for best sanity avoid binding services Mar 31 06:15:48 treat them as singleton use any sort of event notification Mar 31 06:17:40 Meh, we have no milk in the house Mar 31 06:17:40 Shredded wheat plans are gone. Mar 31 06:18:13 pop "go to shop" on the top of your stack Mar 31 06:18:23 er, push... you know what I mean Mar 31 06:18:28 pfn i try too .. when i can. i'm using localservice setup overlapped with start/stop service atm Mar 31 06:19:25 no aidl Mar 31 06:20:26 ditch local service Mar 31 06:20:34 No binders Mar 31 06:21:53 pfn are you recommending the technique in i think email , "DummyService" basically an empty service, they just start / stop to mark the process as doing something Mar 31 06:22:33 dunno, I suppose maybe Mar 31 06:22:55 over the years i've seen a lot of different stykes Mar 31 06:22:57 *styles Mar 31 06:22:59 all most people really want out of services are the life cycle and nothing else Mar 31 06:23:24 there is absolutely no reason to use binders except for ipc Mar 31 06:24:32 set your instance oncreate and clear it ondestroy Mar 31 06:24:33 it can kind of serve as a reference counter. i have 3 fragments which bind to the service. if its not started, then it simply gets destroyed when they all unbind Mar 31 06:24:41 yeah, i have seen that Mar 31 06:25:12 as if reference counting is a hard problem Mar 31 06:26:04 but if the service is started of course, even if they all unbind its still going Mar 31 06:26:14 yeah, i'll see if i can simplify this more Mar 31 06:26:19 * g00s likes simple Mar 31 06:26:40 * Nilium likes fires because they're warm Mar 31 06:26:45 binding services is the opposite of simple Mar 31 06:27:07 Nilium plus, its cold were you are :) Mar 31 06:28:14 About 30f right now, so all things considered, it's warmer than normal Mar 31 06:32:12 I still can't think of a reason for multiprocess in a single app on modern devices Mar 31 06:32:27 heap size used to be an issue Mar 31 06:32:57 maybe fault isolation ? Mar 31 06:33:13 security, hmm Mar 31 06:33:41 I can't get my app to work with both the new maps and the old google maps. Mar 31 06:33:50 (in gradle with android studio) Mar 31 06:33:53 pfn you are talking about multiprocess thing in manifest, right ? Mar 31 06:33:58 fault isolation is a potential reason if using crashy 3rd party libs beyond your control Mar 31 06:34:26 if I add the maps.jar manually I get it to compile but then I get the error: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: Class ref in pre-verified class resolved to unexpected implementation Mar 31 06:34:41 g00s, yes Mar 31 06:34:52 when I go to an Activity with the old map Mar 31 06:35:25 any ideas? Mar 31 06:37:09 are there any drawbacks to turning on optimization in proguard for release builds? Mar 31 06:38:07 your app will run faster Mar 31 06:38:08 and be smaller Mar 31 06:38:09 :P Mar 31 06:38:27 oh no! Mar 31 06:39:34 there used to be bugs with proguard & dx when using different optimization levels Mar 31 06:39:48 i think i could use 1 without stuff exploding Mar 31 06:39:51 2 exploded Mar 31 06:40:16 mooo :) Mar 31 06:40:39 canadiancow anyone going to do a talk on content providers at I/O :D Mar 31 06:40:46 no idea Mar 31 06:40:59 did they choose the talks yet? Mar 31 06:41:12 i'm guessing not, the website doesn't say anything Mar 31 06:41:17 no idea Mar 31 06:44:39 I've always had problems enabling proguard optimizations Mar 31 06:45:42 i've found proguard tricky when you need to add some incantation for a library; hopefully they say what you need; otherwise its up to you Mar 31 06:46:02 it's fairly easy in gradle, you just change the proguardFile property to getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt') Mar 31 06:46:15 most libraries are easy except for reflection Mar 31 06:46:19 the tricky part was making sure it doesn't screw up some libraries Mar 31 06:46:24 yeah, like Gson Mar 31 06:48:12 good morning Mar 31 06:50:54 Developing with fragments here. For some reason on older androids (~2.3) when a fragment is switched into view the edittext in a fragment doesn't allow for input. Keyboard sometimes appears, sometimes it doesn't, even when it does no text can be put in, when it doesn't the edittext is in focus but no keyboard appears. Mar 31 06:51:32 In this peace of code, does Picasso running in UI Thread? Picasso.with(context).load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView); Mar 31 06:51:41 no Mar 31 06:52:12 even I am running in Main(UI) Thread, it will use different thread? Mar 31 06:52:24 you must call it from the main thread Mar 31 06:52:28 it will always use a background thread Mar 31 06:53:44 Strange, my android killing my app because of timeout... maybe, I did wrong somewhere else . Thank you Jake! Mar 31 06:54:11 any ideas about my problem? Mar 31 06:54:47 hello Mar 31 06:55:23 im trying to use the infowindowclicklistener on my map but is not working, im getting this message: The method setOnInfoWindowClickListener(GoogleMap.OnInfoWindowClickListener) in the type GoogleMap is not applicable for the arguments (new OnInfoWindowClickListener(){}) any idea? Mar 31 06:55:52 nope Mar 31 06:55:55 :P Mar 31 06:57:05 hello? Mar 31 06:57:17 is anyone here? Mar 31 06:58:45 hello? Mar 31 06:58:52 No. Mar 31 06:58:52 The user list is clearly empty. Mar 31 06:59:16 so why is it quiet? Mar 31 06:59:26 shhhh! Mar 31 06:59:27 noone is writing here. Mar 31 06:59:51 i have problem witch AppStateManager Mar 31 07:00:05 that is (com.google.android.gms.appstate.AppStateManager) Mar 31 07:00:18 for cloud saving game state Mar 31 07:01:44 wow...this plase is useless Mar 31 07:01:52 no coversation at all Mar 31 07:01:54 is not, maybe is because of the hour Mar 31 07:02:20 ranma1988: you haven't even asked a question yet Mar 31 07:02:21 in 9:00 im in europe. Mar 31 07:02:34 people here usually helps me when they are availbale Mar 31 07:02:37 also, this is IRC, people will response when they can Mar 31 07:02:47 well in america is lik 1am-ish Mar 31 07:02:55 it's not a support line, don't act like people owe you something Mar 31 07:03:19 ok then Mar 31 07:06:18 barbs: erm... I think ranma1988 has the #android-dev Pro subscription Mar 31 07:06:30 woowowow Mar 31 07:06:30 :ranma1988 what is your question? (Can you write in one line w/o enters? And provide your code via pastebin) Mar 31 07:06:34 do you get that with a commonsware subscription ? Mar 31 07:07:00 nm mark isn't here, he's on SO Mar 31 07:09:05 omg the commonsware book is 2600 pages Mar 31 07:09:25 im getting AppStateManager databuffer data leak while using 'AppStateManager.update(getApiClient(), 0, data);' Mar 31 07:09:47 how do i close AppStateManager databuffer ? Mar 31 07:10:46 i dont know, if its something owned by AppStateManager, it would be good design if it managed the lifecycle of that object. if its getting leaked, maybe its a bug, perhaps file a bug report Mar 31 07:11:18 thank you Mar 31 07:11:45 is it possible to open a Marker in GoogleMaps app? I want to click on the infowindow and open that marker in the maps app for further features Mar 31 07:12:54 ranma1988 hm, out of curiosity i looked at the docs Mar 31 07:13:21 not clear if it copies the byte[] Mar 31 07:14:02 umm..I dont know this Mar 31 07:14:29 by dock you mean: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/cloudsave Mar 31 07:14:43 http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/appstate/AppStateManager.html#update(com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient, int, byte[]) Mar 31 07:15:32 anyhow i haven't used these apis Mar 31 07:16:04 :JakeWharton in Picasso, there is anyway to add listener on completion of download? So I could hide my progress bar when it is done? Mar 31 07:16:07 should i somehow free the byte[] ? Mar 31 07:16:12 kamol: second arg to into Mar 31 07:16:21 Developing with fragments here. For some reason on older androids (~2.3) when a fragment is switched into view the edittext in a fragment doesn't allow for input. Keyboard sometimes appears, sometimes it doesn't, even when it does no text can be put in, when it doesn't the edittext is in focus but no keyboard appears. Mar 31 07:16:34 ranma1988 i'd use MAT to see the root of the leak Mar 31 07:16:45 what is MAT?

Mar 31 07:24:17 yw Mar 31 07:32:23 its very annoying that Switch.setChecked() casues the onCheckChangeListener to fire Mar 31 07:32:56 should be Switch.setChecked(boolean isChecked, boolean selfNotify) Mar 31 07:33:23 It's even more annoying that SwitchPreference is broken. Mar 31 07:33:39 is switchpreference broken? Mar 31 07:33:43 i haven't used it Mar 31 07:34:06 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=26194 Mar 31 07:34:27 Yep, known issue.

Mar 31 07:46:02 south africa Mar 31 07:46:06 cool Mar 31 08:56:10 Hello, my app has a user reported bug on the Galaxy Tab 2, however we don't have that device here for testing. Is there a way I can emulate that specific device? Mar 31 09:03:46 Syzygy you can get a better report from them so you can reproduce it or se what the issue is ---- or, you can sign up to a testing service that has that device Mar 31 09:05:04 i'm sure you knew that already ;) Mar 31 09:05:26 hey everybody Mar 31 09:05:49 i have a common service which i want to start with different intent attributes Mar 31 09:06:27 presently i start the IntentService with new Intent(context, MyIntentService.class) Mar 31 09:06:28 It's a reminder, so there's no crashlog, all I know is that the our reminder is just not doing anything at all. Guess I'll have to talk to my boss if we can either get that device (unlikely with 1 user on that device according to google) or sign up to a testing service Mar 31 09:06:36 and other params with i put in the intent Mar 31 09:06:48 this is a common service which i run in 2 places Mar 31 09:07:25 the problem is that if one person tries to run this intentservice and the other calls stopservice() , then it stops the service Mar 31 09:07:34 how can i avoid this ? Mar 31 09:07:53 how can i start the same service with different attributes Mar 31 09:08:12 for different operations Mar 31 09:08:58 Syzygy also you know alarm manager changed a little in 4.4 right ? Mar 31 09:09:19 if you are using that for the reminder Mar 31 09:09:31 I didn't know, but I'll look into it, thanks for the hint. Mar 31 09:09:49 yeah, things are not exact now - unless you use a certain method Mar 31 09:09:50 User is running 4.2.2 though Mar 31 09:10:05 ok Mar 31 09:10:33 hi g00s . can you please tell me how can i run an IntentService which handles multiple requests with differnt intent params ? Mar 31 09:10:58 sunny_slls i dont see why there is an issue. nobody should be calling stopselvice. it does that Mar 31 09:11:31 g00s: ya but i have a scenario where i have to do the stopService implicitly Mar 31 09:12:03 then make your own service ... Mar 31 09:12:10 try something like goro Mar 31 09:12:16 Hello , I am new to android dev , creating new Activity is equivalent to creating new class? Mar 31 09:13:37 g00s: making my own service means ? Mar 31 09:15:12 how can i create new graphical layout for second activity , anyone can help? Mar 31 09:18:24 Spl0it_S4in7, you need a new xml layout file for the second activity Mar 31 09:19:39 okay , I just add second xml and then how can i link second class to that xml? Mar 31 09:20:24 The same way as you did with your first activity Mar 31 09:20:38 um , when i created first one it was already there Mar 31 09:21:49 if you're using an IDE it should create the necessary code in the second activity as well, if not, just copy the code over and change the code for your new activity Mar 31 09:22:08 specificall setContentView(R.layout.second_activity); Mar 31 09:22:26 I am using eclipse and I added a new class named activity2.java and then created a new xml layout Mar 31 09:22:48 You should be able to create a new Activity rather than a new class Mar 31 09:24:21 although as long as you include the correct code it shouldn't make a difference Mar 31 09:25:03 hmm gotcha :) thanks Mar 31 09:26:06 np Mar 31 09:27:05 What is the correct way to create a tag using the Tag.CREATOR ? This doesn't seem to work : https://gist.github.com/daneoke/99c1ff278addd642bfeb Mar 31 09:27:49 Hi all, I have a Fragment with a camera preview. I can detect NFC, which start an activity again but i ignore the intent if activity is present. But when I detect NFC, the camera preview is black for 1 second, what can be the problem of that? Mar 31 09:29:56 HttpPost seems to be causing this, in some cases: “Channel is unrecoverably broken and will be disposed!" Mar 31 09:46:10 I got an newIntent on my Activity, but first onPause is called, then onNewIntent got triggered, but when the activity is present, onPause is called too, is it possible to keep the 1st activity alive without onpause? Mar 31 10:02:05 Don't know if anyone responded yet, but I'm having trouble simulating an NFC tag : https://gist.github.com/daneoke/99c1ff278addd642bfeb Mar 31 10:02:41 Developing with fragments here. For some reason on older androids (~2.3) when a fragment is switched into view the edittext in a fragment doesn't allow for input. Keyboard sometimes appears, sometimes it doesn't, even when it does no text can be put in, when it doesn't the edittext is in focus but no keyboard appears. Mar 31 10:03:58 Kulverstukas can you hack something like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2403632/android-show-soft-keyboard-automatically-when-focus-is-on-an-edittext Mar 31 10:04:02 How to position textview ? Mar 31 10:04:31 Spl0it_S4in7 read the documents Mar 31 10:05:31 Kulverstukas several things pop out in that page, also check the bit Mar 31 10:06:29 for NFC detection, I got a newIntent but I want to keep my activity alive, try to use enableForegroundDispatch but I still got onPause on my activity, is this normal? Mar 31 10:06:36 request focus doesn't work :/ Mar 31 10:06:57 thing here is that the focus is gained, but the editbox doesn't accept text Mar 31 10:07:21 is it some crappy phone, or happening in the emu ? Mar 31 10:13:04 g00s , in eclipse i could have dragged and dropped is there any other way to do in xml ? Mar 31 10:17:00 emu doesn't work on this computer, too slow. It is happening on a system, doesn't depend on a phone g00s Mar 31 10:17:07 android 2.3-2.4 Mar 31 10:27:37
