**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 05 02:59:58 2014 Apr 05 03:07:48 any idea to align two equals: Apr 05 03:07:56 1 * 1 = 1 Apr 05 03:08:00 1 * 11 = 11 Apr 05 03:08:39 i want the second equal under the first equal Apr 05 03:08:56 use six labels in a grid Apr 05 03:12:09 Pragma: more explanation Apr 05 03:12:29 are you mean gridview? Apr 05 03:12:38 2nd equal under first equal, in what Apr 05 03:12:46 in your code? in your layout? Apr 05 03:12:55 layout Apr 05 03:12:59 textview Apr 05 03:13:22 hmm, pragma's solution is probably easiest Apr 05 03:13:52 but i will set the values programmatically Apr 05 03:13:58 put textviews in places that are fixed, maybe something like (equation) (equals) (result) Apr 05 03:14:08 yeah, you can refer to the textview in your code Apr 05 03:14:22 TextView tview = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview1); Apr 05 03:14:33 tview.setText("1 + 1"); Apr 05 03:14:36 etc etc Apr 05 03:15:07 gridview might work, I've never used it Apr 05 03:15:38 recursor94, what hackathon are you at? Apr 05 03:16:17 bbdude: nice idea, with using margin Apr 05 03:16:44 it helps to just go nuts and get a feel for how layouts work more Apr 05 03:17:19 change parameters, look at the rendered view, rinse, repeat Apr 05 03:21:28 bbdude: Just one run by the college I go to. It's only among students that go here. Apr 05 03:21:52 I found out how to force the overflow to appear on the screen Apr 05 03:22:05 but I just can't understand why I can't get the other items to appear on the action bar. Apr 05 03:22:11 There is *definitely* enough space. Apr 05 03:22:54 and I have showasaction set to always. Apr 05 03:22:56 Always!! Apr 05 03:31:11 I'm using the support library, but I'm testing on 19. Apr 05 03:41:22 * pragma- stares at Pragma Apr 05 03:48:43 hello all, i was wondering if anyone had the time to help me build a rom from source, ive got everything set up and the source downloaded, im just having trouble getting the device blobs and what not from my device Apr 05 03:52:06 Andromendous see topic; try #android-root Apr 05 03:56:51 MFW I realize I was creating a completely separate bitmap for every single map marker (over 700) Apr 05 04:07:25 is there any way an ActionProvider could display either a listPopupWindow or PopupWindow? i'd like an action in the actionbar , that when pressed, showed a grid of things to choose from. not sure how to do it Apr 05 04:15:11 Does http://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothAdapter.html#getAddress() return the address even if bluetooth is off? Apr 05 04:24:02 recursor94: You still here? Apr 05 04:27:07 hey guys Apr 05 04:28:36 I'm still here Apr 05 04:28:43 codeguru: Apr 05 04:29:13 recursor94: can you pastebin me your menu XML file? Apr 05 04:29:25 Can I gist you it? Apr 05 04:30:15 sure, that works, too Apr 05 04:30:28 pastebin and gist are synonyms in my book Apr 05 04:30:45 https://gist.github.com/recursor94/9987541 Apr 05 04:32:35 recursor94: The problem is android:showAsAction="always". This only works for the native action bar. Apr 05 04:32:57 one sec and I'll show you how to do it for the appcompat actionbar Apr 05 04:33:14 I actually still have the theme set to holodark. Apr 05 04:33:29 Now I realize that that probably doesn't work for the support library. Apr 05 04:33:38 https://github.com/codeguru42/ExerciseMachines/blob/master/main/res/menu/list_actions.xml Apr 05 04:33:55 Here's an example. I had the exact same problem, so I hope that helps. Apr 05 04:34:43 The key is that you have to declare another namespace for the appcompat lib. Apr 05 04:34:55 So does that label have to be the exact same name as the app project name? Apr 05 04:35:04 And can you elaborate on that? Apr 05 04:35:08 From what I understand, it is common practice to use the name of your app as the namespace, but it isn't necessary. Apr 05 04:35:28 The label has to be whatever you declare at the top: xmlns:exercise="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" Apr 05 04:35:50 since I used "exercise" here, all the other labels are also "exercise" Apr 05 04:35:59 Alright, and taht essentially creates a new namespace? Apr 05 04:36:02 yes Apr 05 04:36:06 Ah. Apr 05 04:36:11 I'll try it out now Apr 05 04:36:14 it "imports" the appcompat namespace Apr 05 04:36:16 thanks so much for your help! Apr 05 04:36:18 :D Apr 05 04:36:21 no problem Apr 05 04:36:37 I recently figured this out when I had the exact same issue. Apr 05 04:39:08 THANKS! Apr 05 04:39:09 :D Apr 05 04:39:15 But now the menu button doesn't work Apr 05 04:39:19 I really don't understand why Apr 05 04:39:21 BUT WHO CARES Apr 05 04:40:07 canadiancow you around? quick UI question Apr 05 04:42:16 Anyone know why FragmentStatePagerAdapter is apparently constantly recreating my fragments while still keeping the old one in memory? I had to resort back to FragmentPagerAdapter Apr 05 04:42:54 ugh, what i'm trying to do should be so simple but … as usual, this is turning out to be an epic pain in the ass Apr 05 04:43:12 fragmentpageradapter does a swell job of reusing the fragments, but I'd like to understand why .__. Apr 05 04:43:18 basically, trying to show a popupWindow for an actionprovider like so http://cl.ly/image/1w3Q2O1X113T Apr 05 04:43:43 however, they have spinners in there, which use their own Windows … so that can't be a popupWindow Apr 05 04:43:56 (can't add a window to a window from what i gather) Apr 05 04:44:08 so what the hell can this thing be ? Apr 05 04:45:23 anywhere you're trying to show a popupwindow, make sure you're using the parent activity as the context Apr 05 04:45:36 unfortunately I'm not very familiar with actionproviders :/ Apr 05 04:46:35 JakeWharton if you are around, how would you show an arbitrary dialog-thingy with spinners from an ActionProvider ? http://cl.ly/image/1w3Q2O1X113T Apr 05 04:47:28 If I want to create a planner app that triggers an activity that reminds the user to do something after a specified interval of time, and then continue to repeat that activity until the task has been completed, would setRepeating be the correct method to use? I want this to run even in the background after the app has been closed. Apr 05 04:51:19 g00s: if you own the action view you can anchor a popup window to it. Apr 05 04:51:43 Don't really know otherwise. You can always do hacks Apr 05 04:51:47 recursor94, sounds like you want a service or a broadcast receiver. check these pages out http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fundamentals.html Apr 05 04:52:29 I haven't used either in android yet, so I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help with implementation Apr 05 04:52:31 JakeWharton yes, i have some example code that uses popupWindow but .. can't use the spinner in there since the newish (post HC) ones seem to create another Window Apr 05 04:52:52 old style spinners used to be dialogs i think. maybe that thing is a dialog :| Apr 05 04:52:57 recursor94, I just worked with them today I will pastebin the links I learned from. Apr 05 04:53:18 JakeWharton thanks Apr 05 04:53:47 recursor94, http://pastebin.com/VgcmZFuH Apr 05 04:54:06 sweet thanks! Apr 05 04:55:05 I saved all the links I used learning how to craft code for Android, I have 400-500, I am thinking of putting into a guide or something. Apr 05 04:55:17 hmm, i don't think that blob can be a dialog because the BG doesn't dim Apr 05 04:55:58 g00s, what about a custom NavigationDrawer ? Or at least use it to figure out how the background dims with a .png Apr 05 04:56:35 I'd like to think of myself as a decent java programmer, although I certainly don't know everything. Apr 05 04:56:42 aretecode actually, i'd like it to behave exactly like google books. i just want a popup with spinner. no dimming Apr 05 04:56:44 But android development is something completely new! Apr 05 04:57:19 g00s, have you tried looking through the Google Music app? It is open source as far as I recall. Apr 05 04:57:45 hm, the Player from GB ? Apr 05 04:58:03 pretty much abandoned. the newish one is not open i don't think Apr 05 04:58:15 Shoot. Apr 05 06:14:27 g00s, that's just a popup window... Apr 05 06:14:51 so an actionProvider showing a popupWindow ? Apr 05 06:15:20 oh, you mean Spinners don't work in a popup? Apr 05 06:15:36 dunno, I figure it should work like any other view Apr 05 06:15:49 spinners use their own Window. Apr 05 06:16:03 (when clicked) Apr 05 06:16:42 allright, well i'll try Apr 05 06:16:48 so if you put a spinner in a popup you get an error? Apr 05 06:18:03 i'm not 100% sure yet. the folks that tried did, judging from SO. i may be able to use spinnerMode="dialog" to get around that Apr 05 06:18:23 its going to take me a while to figure this out still, i didn't want to go down a road with no hope Apr 05 06:18:30 if its not a popupwindow, that is Apr 05 06:19:04 the Kindle app has exactly the same sort of thing, when you click 'Aa' in the actionbar Apr 05 06:19:11 a nice sheet comes out Apr 05 06:23:09 pfn i've read over docs for ActionProvider like 10 times, and i'm still confused how this is different than a regular actionView Apr 05 06:23:32 last time i had this reaction was originally reading over the Loader framework Apr 05 06:23:41 and I am lost Apr 05 06:23:51 saw a post on AskReddit Apr 05 06:24:06 about people telling they made money from Android apps Apr 05 06:24:28 I have no freakin idea as to what someone would like to pay :'( Apr 05 06:25:00 I make about $600 a week Apr 05 06:25:25 that's pretty good Apr 05 06:25:47 I make $20 if I'm lucky Apr 05 06:25:55 Ologn: Apr 05 06:26:03 what does your app do Apr 05 06:26:16 awesome Ologn Apr 05 06:26:19 and the money comes from sales Apr 05 06:26:30 Looney, I have a number of apps. I have not figured out how to monetize any of my game apps though. Apr 05 06:26:44 nice Apr 05 06:26:59 how did you go on about the thought process Apr 05 06:27:11 hey people will pay for this app if done nicely Apr 05 06:27:13 oh oh, he wants the recipe Apr 05 06:27:24 Amen g00s Apr 05 06:27:27 Looney, my apps are free, I make money on ads Apr 05 06:27:36 even more ipressive :D Apr 05 06:27:45 more cool Apr 05 06:27:59 The formula is I would read Eric Ries's The Lean Startup, Paul Graham's essays etc. Apr 05 06:28:14 but thing is that how does one make people engage in app to use/buy Apr 05 06:28:28 ok Apr 05 06:28:46 Looney, read Paul Graham's Startup = Growth essay Apr 05 06:28:50 hi all Apr 05 06:29:00 Ologn but do you have a startup ? Apr 05 06:29:02 must do Apr 05 06:29:09 or did you just apply the principles from that book ? Apr 05 06:29:31 i was going to read the steve blank book Apr 05 06:29:40 g00s, well I went back to college and have been doing apps during breaks - and a little bit during the school year Apr 05 06:29:50 I went back to school though Apr 05 06:30:01 Ologn what program / degree ? Apr 05 06:30:10 g00s, Computer Science Apr 05 06:30:16 o nice :) Apr 05 06:30:25 Actually I am 3 classes short of a degree still Apr 05 06:31:00 Well one thing they talk about is a minimally viable product - just get something usable and get it out fast Apr 05 06:31:14 yup Apr 05 06:31:28 the viability is key Apr 05 06:31:39 Version 1 of this took me like 2-3 days to do https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.panaceasupplies.android.panaceadb Apr 05 06:31:48 Maybe 4 days, I have notes somewhere Apr 05 06:31:55 People liked it so I worked on it more Apr 05 06:31:56 i thought about making an app for steam but turns out that valve has published the app officially Apr 05 06:32:32 Someone else already did the Java library which handles the heavy lifting, I just stuck a simple Android UI on it and some elementary logic Apr 05 06:32:53 It's like a science experiment Apr 05 06:33:42 You have a hypothesis, but do not know how the experiment will go Apr 05 06:34:05 That's why you do a minimally viable product. If it goes nowhere, you move on. Apr 05 06:34:28 You only wasted a few days or weeks. Working month after month on an app before Version 1 makes no sense. Apr 05 06:34:59 People were hungry for an app that could handle Microsoft Access files so even 2 or 3 days work saw results Apr 05 06:35:05 50-100k install bracket Apr 05 06:35:09 And once I saw the desire was there I did more work on it Apr 05 06:35:45 nice response from people Apr 05 06:35:50 :) Apr 05 06:36:09 My book app has 782,000 active installs Apr 05 06:37:30 wow Apr 05 06:38:14 the thing to which my question boils down is that how do you go on about finding an idea Apr 05 06:38:41 I made a small POC YouTube blockage circumnavigation app Apr 05 06:38:52 YouTube is blocked still Apr 05 06:39:18 I was and am not sure that how to tell people about the app Apr 05 06:39:34 Well, my yardstick is I do apps which can have a mass appeal, unless I can do it very quickly Apr 05 06:39:57 had the working POC app over weekend Apr 05 06:40:09 I get distracted easily so took the weekend Apr 05 06:40:24 I added admob Apr 05 06:40:28 for tracking purposes Apr 05 06:40:36 get how much did I make Apr 05 06:40:45 *guess Apr 05 06:41:07 ? Apr 05 06:41:33 $20 Apr 05 06:42:48 well you are off by a margin of two decimal places Apr 05 06:42:59 last time I checked, I had 0.02$ Apr 05 06:44:06 I usually put the manifest permissions in for Admob in v. 1, and maybe clear out some screen real estate for it, but don't turn it on until it has some traction Apr 05 06:47:58 even that 2 cents are gone :'( Apr 05 06:54:17 well, if I drag the reporting period thing they show up :-D Apr 05 07:39:41 all tis has boil down to is scripting for people Apr 05 07:40:15 but what can one do, man's gotta eat Apr 05 07:44:59 * g00s still can't figure out the difference between actionView & actionProvider Apr 05 07:45:23 very little info on the interwebs about ActionProvider. i wonder if it was lost of most Apr 05 07:52:15 isnt there a searchactionprovider? Apr 05 07:52:40 there is Apr 05 07:53:33 there must be something more to actionProvider than 'also has menu' … they could have called it ActionMenu or something :) Apr 05 07:54:53 canadiancow do you use Play Books at all ? Apr 05 07:55:11 every day Apr 05 07:55:53 canadiancow Ok, excellent. its nice btw ;) now when reading the book, looks like a split action bar. two things: Aa and the TOC symbol (lower left) expose 'sheets' Apr 05 07:56:00 do you know what those are? Apr 05 07:56:08 (Android classes) Apr 05 07:56:22 PopupWindow? hacked dialog? Apr 05 08:00:25 i dont Apr 05 08:00:28 ask me during business hours Apr 05 08:00:31 :P Apr 05 08:00:36 gnight Apr 05 08:01:25 canadiancow gnight Apr 05 09:09:51 sup Apr 05 09:10:03 have a question about this image, https://www.dropbox.com/s/ixxayc9gtgcey2m/Screenshot%202014-04-05%2012.09.23.png Apr 05 09:10:19 where do I patch it to get that fixed? nothing I see should be stretchable.. Apr 05 09:34:47 Hey, Anyone here familar with GCM? Apr 05 10:03:41 danijoo, maybe... you should just ask your questions Apr 05 10:04:37 the documentation says, that after each app-update (new versioncode), the app should request a new registrationID from gcm. Apr 05 10:04:44 Im wondering why this is the case Apr 05 10:05:03 as this makes it kinda hard to keep ids synced with my backend :> Apr 05 10:18:10 hi, I just started with android development and I have an issue trying to include push notifications: as soon as I add the "google-play-services_lib" library to my project it doesn't run anymore: eclipse hangs and goes ot of memory. Increasing -Xms/-Xmx doesn't help. OS is Gentoo Linux Apr 05 10:21:59 any error ? Apr 05 10:24:33 and how do you add the lib? any build tool or the jar Apr 05 10:35:16 danijoo: I add the lib importing /extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib in eclipse as Existing Android Code into Workspace, then right clicking on my project --> properties --> android --> add (library) Apr 05 10:36:46 and you dont get any error messages? Apr 05 10:37:08 danijoo: it just hangs Apr 05 10:37:33 danijoo: after a few minutes I clicked on "run" Apr 05 10:37:37 at the properties of you library project, it it marked as library project? Apr 05 10:37:42 and I have to force close eclipse Apr 05 10:37:54 danijoo: no, it isn't Apr 05 10:38:09 the play services lib has to be marked as library project Apr 05 10:38:30 try to follow this guide: http://developer.android.com/tools/projects/projects-eclipse.html#ReferencingLibraryProject Apr 05 10:39:02 and be sure to not have google analytics or google admob sdk added beside play services Apr 05 10:42:16 Hey, I want to create the following layout, I could use to pointers on how this should be done. [ParentView][TextView1][TextView2][/ParentView] you only see textview1, when you drag it to the left, you make room for textview2 and it moves into the visible area, when you let go the view goes back ... any idea how this should be done? Apr 05 10:43:41 danijoo: I was wrong, "google-play-services_lib" is marked as library by default when I import it Apr 05 10:43:58 @jellybee hm.. maybesome kind of scrolls view that scrolls back to beginning when youch is released? Apr 05 10:44:06 scrollview* Apr 05 10:44:22 @darkbasic did you follow the guide? Apr 05 10:45:44 danijoo: I'm trying right now, I just imported the lib as I previously did and checked if "is library" was marked or not Apr 05 10:46:27 unfortunately im not very familiar to eclipse since i migrated to AS Apr 05 10:49:14 danijoo: the guide does the very same thing I did. the only difference is "Declaring library components in the manifest file", but it shouldn't be the culprit Apr 05 10:56:26 mh dunno Apr 05 11:01:43 danijoo: any idea how can control a scrollview like that? Apr 05 11:04:38 @jellybee what about an onTouchListener to check if touch is released Apr 05 11:04:54 and when its released you do scrollView.fullScroll(FOCUS_UP) Apr 05 11:05:01 which should scroll it to the beginning Apr 05 11:05:48 public boolean fullScroll (int direction) Apr 05 11:05:49 direction the scroll direction: FOCUS_UP to go the top of the view or FOCUS_DOWN to go the bottom Apr 05 11:06:02 thanks, ill try Apr 05 11:17:06 mm, fullScroll(HorizontalScrollView.FOCUS_LEFT/RIGHT) does seem to move the scrollview... weird Apr 05 11:18:11 calling it twice in a row works... weird Apr 05 11:23:09 strange Apr 05 12:33:53 why doesn’t for edittext field in layout xml automatically pull up the soft keyboard? Apr 05 12:34:13 or it’s because I’m testing on an emulator? Apr 05 13:03:35 yaw I think it does pull up the keyboard Apr 05 13:03:51 MohammadAG: it doesn’t in the emulator Apr 05 13:04:07 isn't the emulator considered a hardware keyboard? Apr 05 13:04:38 yaw it doesn't Apr 05 13:04:45 you'll need to pull it up manually Apr 05 13:04:58 to be safe, I'd use performClick() Apr 05 13:05:47 it’s not pulled up in the emulator. Apr 05 13:06:04 Doesn't it automatically do that even without requestFocus? Apr 05 13:06:04 I use Nexus 5 emulator with soft keyboard Apr 05 13:06:42 yaw it's not pulled up on my deivce Apr 05 13:06:46 so it's not an emulator thing Apr 05 13:06:55 razor1101 nope Apr 05 13:07:14 MohammadAG: ahem, it’s an emulator. just a Nexus 5 emulator running 4.4 Apr 05 13:07:25 yes, I got that Apr 05 13:07:41 I'm saying it doesn't work on an actual device Apr 05 13:07:51 so it's not an emulator issue Apr 05 13:08:04 MohammadAG: oh ok. Apr 05 13:08:27 but why would you have a cursor blinking in an edittext and not pull up the keyboard by default? Apr 05 13:09:49 do someone use Android Studio? I get "Unresolved Android dependencies Error:com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+ (double-click here to find usages.)" Apr 05 13:10:00 I'm just starting a new project Apr 05 13:10:03 yaw, because those aren't connected on android Apr 05 13:10:36 Mavrik: what do you mean? Apr 05 13:10:41 yaw, it's an annoying (and common) issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5105354/how-to-show-soft-keyboard-when-edittext-is-focused Apr 05 13:10:57 yaw, PLEASE don't do dumb stuff like performClick() to mitigate it tho, use IMM Apr 05 13:11:20 click will have bunch of side effects when you don't want it to do what you want Apr 05 13:11:24 Mavrik: yeah, I use that when I control the direction of focus. Apr 05 13:11:47 darkbasic, there are input states where you have focus in edit box and no keyboard Apr 05 13:11:51 I thought there was an xml tag similar to for pulling up the keyboard Apr 05 13:11:56 e.g. physical keyboard, user dismissed keyboard, etc. Apr 05 13:12:12 yaw, I couldn't find any :- Apr 05 13:12:14 / Apr 05 13:12:29 yaw, at least nothing that would work like expected and wouldn't annoy users Apr 05 13:13:14 can someone help me with my "Unresolved Android dependencies Error:com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+" issue with Android Studio? Apr 05 13:14:54 Mavrik as dumb as performClick() sounds, I find it the best way to do this Apr 05 13:15:19 but please, if there's a reason why it's dumb, I'd be happy to switch Apr 05 13:15:58 MohammadAG: I think it can trigger all click listeners on the view, when you don’t need them to run Apr 05 13:19:05 MohammadAG: the system of triggering callbacks, most likely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern, is expensive.

Apr 05 13:43:35 0.5.3 Apr 05 13:44:20 MohammadAG: try 0.5.4 the one I'm using, I will try to downgrade to 0.5.3 Apr 05 13:47:31 I hate how Eclipse runs like crap on every device I've owned Apr 05 13:48:08 the day it was rewritten in Java was a sad day :P Apr 05 13:49:27 I wish I could use Xcode tbh Apr 05 13:50:52 MohammadAG: same issue with 0.5.3 Apr 05 13:56:40 where is the feature and promo graphic used? Apr 05 13:56:57 it was used once on play.google.com and also in the play-store app on my phone but now they are all gone! :3 Apr 05 13:57:12 I can't find a place where they are displayed Apr 05 14:00:33 sorry for the connection-loss! Apr 05 14:21:10 "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.astuetz.viewpager.extensions.PagerSlidingTabStrip" on path: DexPathList[[zip file ...." - Any ideas ? :/ Apr 05 15:01:03 csst0111 include the lib in Order & Export Apr 05 15:34:54 <[ProB]CrazyMan> hi, I tried to connect an Touch Screen monitor with USB Connector to an Android board, I got it to work that it detects something, but only if I have 5 fingers on the screen I could move the pointer, somebody an idea what I have to change in the *.idc file? Apr 05 16:14:48 hey Apr 05 16:17:48 question, if I have an activity that spawns a DialogFragment in it's onCreate(), how do I get it to not spawn a new one each time I rotate the screen? Apr 05 16:30:03 agargiulo: you can inspect the launch intent or see if there is saved data, and save data. The easiest way is to just save a bool in the savestate bundle Apr 05 16:30:36 then if that bool is there, don't recreate the fragment? Apr 05 16:30:47 Yeah, things I forgot I could do Apr 05 16:30:48 yeah, just don't do whatever you do to make the dialog Apr 05 16:31:02 if you only want it to show up once, ever, throw a bool in your savedprefs Apr 05 16:31:04 er shareprefs Apr 05 16:31:06 or something Apr 05 16:32:01 yeah, it's for a welcome message, more or less. So it will only show up once anyway, but everytime I rotate the screen, it recreates it. which I guess makes sense Apr 05 16:33:01 yeah. so what I do for that is the function that displays the welcome message also sets a sharedpref Apr 05 16:34:46 yup, thanks Apr 05 16:36:29 hi all Apr 05 16:37:05 is it possible to get your money using western union from google play account? Apr 05 16:37:14 agargiulo: and then of course the same function looks for that shared pref and just returns w/out doing anything, if it finds it. that should solve the rotate, too, w/out even worrying about the state bundle. Apr 05 16:38:02 dragorn: well, if they rotate while the dialog is shown Apr 05 16:38:59 agargiulo: I don't know DF's default behaviors there, but I assume your problem is your oncreate makes a new one since it gets fired after rotation; if your oncreate calls a function to make the DF that only happens when you don't have the sharedpref, it should solve it Apr 05 16:39:12 DialogFragments can be found by tag, just like other fragments Apr 05 16:39:29 I guess I need to do more research on fragments Apr 05 16:39:34 thanks Apr 05 16:48:15 whats an easy java library for parsing json? Apr 05 16:48:20 any recommendations? Apr 05 16:49:32 gson Apr 05 16:51:04 hi there Apr 05 16:52:29 i've got a slight problem with my lg nexus 4 phone, i did my last phonecall about 6hrs ago, went to sleep, connected the power cable to the nexus, woke up, called a friend, but couldnt hear anything Apr 05 16:52:48 i verified that it is a problem on my side, by calling 2 more friends Apr 05 16:52:51 same result Apr 05 16:53:07 i cannot hear them, and they cannot hear me Apr 05 16:53:25 but, when i turn on the speaker, everything is fine, i can hear them and they can hear me Apr 05 16:53:33 dgtl, try #android (not #android-dev) Apr 05 16:53:44 rsz_, oh, sorry, okay, i will Apr 05 17:03:03 hey Apr 05 17:04:10 I'm a bit drunk and probably shouldn't be coding atm, but is there a better way to do this? http://pastebin.com/u40Fcrxx Apr 05 17:04:45 I want it to only send updates to google if its not the first run Apr 05 17:12:11 looks good enough for me. Apr 05 17:16:23 I just realized it would be better to monitor real changes than first run Apr 05 17:16:38 but thanks Apr 05 17:26:27 anyone having super thin actionbar using actionbarsherlock on 2.3 Apr 05 17:37:03 I did for a while but then I did something and it was fixed Apr 05 17:37:03 :D Apr 05 17:37:42 I cant remember what I did, but I know that if you use this it will be fixed: http://jgilfelt.github.com/android-actionbarstylegenerator/ Apr 05 17:38:55 or maybe one of the other here: http://android-ui-utils.googlecode.com/hg/asset-studio/dist/index.html Apr 05 17:50:28 I'm having an issue with eclipse/ADT, every time I use the 'export' button my versionCode and versionName get reset to 1 and 1.0 respectively however building/running normally is fine, anyone experienced this or know what the issue is? Apr 05 17:55:17 Quacked, it turns out i was setting my actionbar height to 10dp -____- Apr 05 17:55:38 I must have done that awhile back and I didn't notice it because the parameter doesn't apply to later versions Apr 05 17:57:31 anyone know if 2.3 supports alpha transparency for image buttons or whatever Apr 05 17:57:36 alpha layer isn't showing on 2.3 Apr 05 17:57:44 rather, it's not transparent Apr 05 18:08:17 hi Apr 05 18:08:48 hi Apr 05 18:09:12 ive made a custom listview with a click listener that changes the background color of the clicked item Apr 05 18:09:26 but when scrolling away from the item and back again, the color disappears Apr 05 18:11:20 anyone experienced that before? Apr 05 18:11:30 colorcache is not working Apr 05 18:14:26 xabdullahx, the view is recreated. you have to store the background color for each item (or each item with non default color) and apply it when creating the view Apr 05 18:14:39 xabdullahx: listview redraws items when they get into view. there is no guarantee it will be the same view object next time the item is visible Apr 05 18:14:54 its not enough to: ((TableLayout)view).setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW); Apr 05 18:14:55 xabdullahx could be something to do with view recycling Apr 05 18:15:03 ? Apr 05 18:15:12 xabdullahx do it in your getView implementation Apr 05 18:15:39 i want the user to click to change color Apr 05 18:15:58 i will try Apr 05 18:16:05 what about setting the item as activated in your adapter? Apr 05 18:20:06 in the getView, it works, but how do i include the onlclick listener? Apr 05 18:23:33 xabdullahx, easiest way is thelist.setChoiceMode(AbsListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE) and then in the onclick listener, setSelection(position) Apr 05 18:23:45 or something like that Apr 05 18:25:45 i am not sure how that is going to help, but thank you Apr 05 18:26:14 the adapter will keep track of the selected item for you Apr 05 18:27:21 the adapters getview implementation? yea. But i still need some code that says if (this list that have been chosen) view.setbackgroundcolor(yellow) Apr 05 18:30:06 mmm. you'd use a drawable state-list to apply the background colour. but if you don't want to do that, just add a variable like selectedPosition to your adapter, set it when the user clicks, and check the current position against that position in getView to see if they match, then apply the background colour. Apr 05 18:41:28 leslie, alright thanks. it works now. Made a list of integers. for the positions of those that are yellow Apr 05 18:42:50 xabdullahx, https://github.com/lesleh/ListStyling there's an example of what I mean Apr 05 18:45:15 ah ok Apr 05 18:51:02 Hi, are any of you using android studio? I'm trying to import a .jar file, what I did was: I pasted the .jar file into the libs folder, rightclicked, added as library and rebuilt. Android studio then finds the .jar and I'm able to use the functions in the .jar file, however when I try to run the application I get a NoClassDefFoundError. When I check the .jar file in the libs folder, all classes are "IntelliJ stubs" and a "sources Apr 05 18:52:34 Pro9, is the jar referenced in your build.gradle ? Apr 05 18:54:23 leslie, yes it is, but only the build.gradle "inside the app" Apr 05 18:54:39 but only in the build.gradle* Apr 05 18:55:39 right. have you tried reimporting the gradle project? Apr 05 18:56:20 tools, android, sync whatever it's called Apr 05 18:57:38 leslie, tried, but it still gave me the same error Apr 05 18:57:53 huh, strange Apr 05 19:00:40 There could be something wrong with the .jar file, but that seems strange, but since this is my first time working with android studio I'm not entirely sure I did it right while importing Apr 05 19:01:22 I'll post a screenshot of how one of the classes within the .jar file looks, and perhaps someone knows if they are supposed to look like that Apr 05 19:01:58 if you have a line something like this in your build.gradle it should import automatically, I think - compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) Apr 05 19:08:08 leslie, my build.gradle both has a specific line for the .jar file and the line that you posted under dependencies, my concern is that android studios sais "sources not found" when I open the files in the .jar http://i.imgur.com/syhqWz5.png Apr 05 19:08:37 jar files don't generally contain source code Apr 05 19:08:49 so that's normal Apr 05 19:11:24 Pro9, why not use the maven central version instead of supplying your own jar? Apr 05 19:12:30
