**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 13 03:00:00 2014 Apr 13 03:04:27 http://pastebin.com/qtyGCvmc is anyone able to tell me why "ContentValues();" is undefined? shouldn't the import have sorted that ? Apr 13 03:04:47 I feel like it's going to be something deadly obvious... Apr 13 03:06:08 are you missing a new? Apr 13 03:06:52 yup... Apr 13 03:06:56 haha thanks a lot Apr 13 03:07:01 that will do it. :D Apr 13 03:07:20 thanks for the fast response :) Apr 13 03:08:04 Hey, I need some help. I have made a ListView with a custom layout and it seems like all items in the view get selected when i click them. Is it possible to fix? Apr 13 03:08:23 Yes, it's possible! :D Apr 13 03:08:38 Fenny: How do I do it? Apr 13 03:09:15 Figure out why your item selection code is drawing the item selected thing on everything, and not just one thing. Apr 13 03:09:38 Is it multiple instances of the same layout? Apr 13 03:09:58 are you trying to select by id rather than by index? Apr 13 03:10:50 did you make a custom adapter? Apr 13 03:11:22 Ohh, or does your data source give each item the same identifier? Apr 13 03:12:34 It uses an array adapter and overrrides getView to set parameters Apr 13 03:13:00 It shpuld be multiple instances, how do I check identifyer? Apr 13 03:13:08 pastebin your adapter code. Apr 13 03:15:37 https://gist.github.com/anonymous/2ee926676dc5a4340e2f Apr 13 03:15:57 and result is an List Apr 13 03:26:28 Fenny: Nothing wrong with it that I can see Apr 13 05:43:28 any expert for CursorAdapter and fragments are here? Apr 13 06:08:40 slani: I'm no expert, but I might be able to help Apr 13 06:13:38 @codeguru are you familiar with Calendar events? Apr 13 06:13:57 nope, sorry Apr 13 06:14:17 no worries, it was worth a shot Apr 13 06:37:06 codeguru: I sove a issue. thanks anyway Apr 13 07:08:53 bah, SO is down, going to have to use my own brain now :( Apr 13 07:21:14 My TextView's text is being reset on rotation. But I set my fragment to retain state. Shouldn't this stop it? Apr 13 07:25:00 hey folks., Apr 13 07:25:27 is there anyone in here doing android development with vim? Apr 13 07:26:01 is it feasible? Apr 13 07:27:24 there are some weirdos doing that,yes Apr 13 07:27:29 probably you like pain X) Apr 13 07:35:49 I've been doing pretty serious Python development for the last 6 years in Vim... to me, Eclipse and Android Studio are pain :) Apr 13 07:40:31 yeah auto code generation and completion is a real pain Apr 13 07:40:46 don't get me started on refactoring! Apr 13 07:46:19 Vim can do all this. Apr 13 07:47:00 Guys, anyone around to give a few tips to a n00b with sdk! For the entire evening I've been trying to add two buttons, I add the button, can edit it, but the location is always top left and I can't position it!! Apr 13 07:47:46 I have been looking online and have seen people just dragging the button wysiwyg style to where they want! But mine is locked top Apr 13 07:55:58 ~resources Apr 13 07:56:26 Anybody have any android + java programming books that they would highly recommend, or even websites with tips from personal experiences Apr 13 07:57:01 I'm primarily looking to develop programs for functional use (ie interacting with databases, GPS location etc - more academic), rather than gaming Apr 13 08:38:51 lots of good examples on d.android.com and in the sdk Apr 13 09:10:10 hi, i am trying to use google play location services in my app. all the tutorial are speaking about a build.gradle. my project has none. i am using ADT most current version Apr 13 09:12:56 Morning Apr 13 09:13:57 Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); Can someone please explain what this is doing.. I see the find view is looking for the correct button by id but not what the Button button = (Button) is doing! Apr 13 09:14:16 snudel: tells you how to do it here: http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html Apr 13 09:14:56 findViewById returns a View, that's casting it to a Button Apr 13 09:15:00 Raynerd: the (Button) is a cast to 'Button' type Apr 13 09:15:49 :-S I've done a bit of C with arduino and pics and some python, admittedly, this is a huge jump! Apr 13 09:16:13 C has casts too Apr 13 09:16:16 What is the lower case button then? Apr 13 09:16:26 the variable Apr 13 09:17:05 = (Button) Apr 13 09:17:09 maybe you should learn some basic java/OO before dipping into android Apr 13 09:17:32 I think you are probably correct! Apr 13 09:17:36 Sorry Apr 13 09:18:38 bankai_au: no it doesnt Apr 13 09:18:51 snudel: it does, there's a section talking about eclipse Apr 13 09:18:57 it tells me to download the apis via sdk manager and then 1st step is open biold.gradle Apr 13 09:19:03 i am using adt Apr 13 09:19:08 adt is eclipse Apr 13 09:19:22 adt is not android studio? Apr 13 09:19:44 Can I ask then what would be the best way to learn some java? I used a raspberrypi when learning python, I used arduinos and pics for C. What is the best way to get into Java? Apr 13 09:19:51 ok, ill start over and check again Apr 13 09:19:51 thanks Apr 13 09:20:13 Raynerd: there's some good tutorials on the oracle site Apr 13 09:20:16 I'm only a hobbiest and a rubish one st that. Apr 13 09:20:18 Ok Apr 13 09:20:53 Raynerd and you'll have to ignore the new java 8 things ;) Apr 13 09:21:05 ? Apr 13 09:21:15 android is mostly java 7 Apr 13 09:21:50 Ahh! Thank you Apr 13 09:22:05 android is still mostly java 6 Apr 13 09:22:12 :-S Apr 13 09:22:39 So android isn't a good way to directly get started in Java? I must admit, that as my plan! Apr 13 09:22:46 no Apr 13 09:23:09 actually, if you go to #java and tell them you're using android, they say 'go away' Apr 13 09:23:18 they tell everyone to go away Apr 13 09:23:23 Ha Apr 13 09:24:03 I did go in java irc but there is a message at the top saying to come here for android specific.,. Hence why I'm here Apr 13 09:27:13 Raynerd i guess it depends what you mean by learning java; as far as the language it doesn't matter much. but if you planned on doing EE or JavaFX or whatever, then android wouldn't be a good place to start Apr 13 09:29:08 I'm a teacher and teach a Chemistry, nothing to do with computing! But I enjoy engineering and electronics www.raynerd.co.uk. I purchased some raspberry pi for school and the kids came up with a game, really really clever grid game! We spent months programming in in python using pygame Apr 13 09:29:23 Only to realise it couldn't be used in a browser or android! Apr 13 09:29:49 This has now become a personal project, wanting to develop it for them and hopefully get it to a downloadable game for android. Apr 13 09:30:07 ah, that sounds like fun Apr 13 09:30:20 are you sure there isn't an android port of pygame? Apr 13 09:30:43 I've tried a few times.. Apr 13 09:31:08 There is one but it was poor and I gave it. Apr 13 09:31:18 ah right Apr 13 09:31:48 There is also the option of using Kline or... Something, I'm sure you guys know the name! But it used totally different structure than py game so would require a re write anyway! Apr 13 09:32:43 Right best go bike riding with daughter. Thanks for the help Apr 13 09:33:22 have fun Apr 13 09:36:35 hey to all anyone knows if there is anyway to use my dual sim android to use the best 3g signal and change the use of internet on itself? Apr 13 09:37:09 doesn't sound like a dev question, daimwn Apr 13 09:37:44 it isnt :) its an android related question though :P Apr 13 09:39:41 I've never used a phone with dual sim Apr 13 09:40:01 :( thnx Apr 13 09:40:10 Android related questions go in #android Apr 13 09:41:22 already asking there just maybe someone had an idea thats why i asked here too :) but thnx Apr 13 09:43:41 I was trying to modify my previously written JDBC based class for inserts etc. to android sqlite Apr 13 09:43:48 since I learned that I can't use JDBC for android Apr 13 09:43:52 I have "PreparedStatement" everywhere in that class... so I was wondering to keep most of things same and change it to Apr 13 09:43:57 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteStatement.html Apr 13 09:44:02 But I was not able to figure out how to put 'int' based parameter inside the insert Apr 13 09:44:07 Because, there are only 2 methods provided, "bindString()" and "bindLong()" Apr 13 09:44:07 I'm trying to broadcast an intent from a service, but no other apps can receive this intent Apr 13 09:44:29 if it were PreparedStatement's I would have used setString setInt etc Apr 13 09:49:57 Omnipotent do you need this? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/DatabaseUtils.html#bindObjectToProgram%28android.database.sqlite.SQLiteProgram,%20int,%20java.lang.Object%29 Apr 13 09:50:45 i haven't messed with these apis in a while; ugh Apr 13 09:55:33 g00s, No idea, but I want to put 'int' in pretty much Apr 13 09:55:42 don't think generelizing it to object would be prettier Apr 13 09:58:37 which db were you using with JDBC? coz sqlite is pretty 'dumb' and doesn't have as many datatypes as a proper database Apr 13 10:01:17 bankai_au, To be honest, I first made server application (where my android phone application will connect) with MySql as database, So for that I used JDBC Apr 13 10:01:29 Most of the inserting and querying code stays same in Server and Android application Apr 13 10:01:46 So I thought, I would use the same code... Apr 13 10:01:59 But it turns out, I can't considering JDBC does not work with Android Apr 13 10:02:12 So I was trying to change the JDBC code with less efforts to android sqlite api Apr 13 10:08:05 Omnipotent are you trying to do stuff with local db or remote mysql db ? Apr 13 10:08:14 local db Apr 13 10:08:39 MySQL DB is for the server, unrelated, just mentioned that the JDBC code originates from the server, which I wrote earlier Apr 13 10:08:48 trying to save time, by re-using the code Apr 13 10:09:55 there is no 'saving time' porting stuff to android, its all custom frankenstein Apr 13 10:11:02 x_x Apr 13 10:11:07 Well, Heh Apr 13 10:11:14 I hope at least Java NIO is supported Apr 13 10:11:21 NIO yes, not NIO.2 Apr 13 10:11:35 Well, I use Asychrnouse socket and what not Apr 13 10:11:44 hmm. i dont think so Apr 13 10:11:45 Asynchronous* >_> Apr 13 10:11:53 async network sockets were nio.2 Apr 13 10:11:59 its blocking for you :) Apr 13 10:12:27 ;_; Apr 13 10:12:41 otoh - and this is a stretch, if you need async networking you could try apache mina Apr 13 10:12:58 i thought that worked, and didn't depend on nio.2. not sure though Apr 13 10:17:02 Omnipotent http://netty.io/wiki/new-and-noteworthy-in-5.x.html Apr 13 10:17:43 ah Apr 13 10:18:06 i hear netty is nicer than mina; i hope you get it to work. if you can , please let me know - i would be interested in the results Apr 13 10:18:36 Okies Apr 13 10:19:24 problem is, android support v5 - thats still alpha or something Apr 13 10:34:57 not sure Apr 13 10:35:03 alpha? so you must be using it :P Apr 13 10:37:00 :) Apr 13 10:40:06 Hello everybody, I've got a problem with ant... everything works fine on "ant debug", but when i want to sign it with my key and "ant release", result it's a very buggy app... it crash on splashscreen (but i see splashscreen)... Any Idea how to trace the problem down? Apr 13 10:40:49 what crashes? Apr 13 10:40:54 i guess if ant release uses proguard, try disabling that Apr 13 10:42:29 g00s: yes, it uses proguard... let me disable that ... Apr 13 10:43:50 but yeah logcat would say, maybe a class is missing, etc Apr 13 10:46:05 g00s: disabling proguard solve that, but i want to obfuscate my code... Apr 13 10:46:22 you'll have to fix your proguard config ;) Apr 13 10:46:30 good luck :D Apr 13 10:46:38 g00s: okey, thanks :) Apr 13 10:46:59 bersam maybe look for a newer template in the sdk tools dirs Apr 13 10:47:17 or maybe you used some library which uses reflection, and need to add something for that Apr 13 10:49:21 g00s: :d thanks for your helps :) Apr 13 10:49:34 yw Apr 13 11:21:49 Do you need the tool call ant to build android app? Apr 13 11:22:32 just asking. Apr 13 11:23:24 no Apr 13 11:23:45 just make sure and thank you:D Apr 13 11:36:40 "depends". Apr 13 12:01:50 What is the best way to check if a user has a calendar event happening right now? Apr 13 12:04:46 hi guys i have a problem with my code.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7244210/ crash my app Apr 13 12:05:26 thi sis log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7244219/ Apr 13 12:05:56 this is line 54 String Compagnia = new String(lista[count]); //COMPAGNIA AEREA Apr 13 12:06:12 if i replace count with 1, is correct... why??? Apr 13 12:06:16 count is 1 Apr 13 12:13:05 line 54 is Apr 13 12:13:06 imageView.setImageResource(drawable.logo_ryanair); Apr 13 12:13:08 in your paste Apr 13 12:13:49 You might want ++count; at the end of each block instead of before, but hard to guess from your code. Apr 13 12:14:17 what is the variable 'count' anyway Apr 13 12:14:33 everytime something calls getview the value increases Apr 13 12:15:23 roxdragon: can you explain the purpose of the variable 'count' Apr 13 12:15:43 The code never reads lista[0], so hope you didn't have anything important there. Apr 13 12:22:34 Does anyone know how to return the user's current calendar event? I am able to retrieve all of their calendar events, but I am only interested in their current event. I want my app to check if the user is busy from their calendar. If they are, then I want to silence their phone Apr 13 12:26:21 I have a problem closing my application, Apr 13 12:26:26 on finish() Apr 13 12:26:31 Hey guys...I need to ask if I have rooted my phone and then I do a factory reset...does this mean after the factory reset the phone is un-rooted? Apr 13 12:26:42 activity restarts alone Apr 13 12:27:15 Intent intent = new Intent(this, CerrarActivity.class); Apr 13 12:27:15 startActivity(intent); Apr 13 12:27:16 finish(); Apr 13 12:28:07 ReGiStRaS: ask in #android-root Apr 13 12:28:59 hi. anyone here knows an app that can display the IP's of the Android on startup or on wallpaper? Apr 13 12:29:05 binder.getService().stopForegroundCompat(R.string.app_name); Apr 13 12:29:05 server.clearConversations(); Apr 13 12:29:06 Database database = new Database(this); Apr 13 12:29:06 database.removeServerById(serverId); Apr 13 12:29:06 database.close(); Apr 13 12:29:06 finish(); Apr 13 12:29:06 Intent intent = new Intent(this, CerrarActivity.class); Apr 13 12:29:07 startActivity(intent); Apr 13 12:29:07 server.setMayReconnect(false); Apr 13 12:29:08 binder = null; Apr 13 12:29:08 finish(); Apr 13 12:30:09 dude, use pastebin Apr 13 12:30:24 in cerraractivity, the above activity starts Apr 13 12:30:48 I do not want to kill the process Apr 13 12:31:14 which is passed Apr 13 12:31:58 don't call finish then Apr 13 12:32:44 Guess he'll never learn to use pastebin, even tho he's told every single time he joins the channel Apr 13 12:33:09 SimonVT, ☺ Apr 13 12:33:38 Hello. I am using Intent serverIntent = new Intent(this, DeviceListActivity.class); startActivityForResult(serverIntent, REQUEST_CONNECT_DEVICE);. However, what I would rather want is to switch to it (assuming it is already started) instead of starting it new Apr 13 12:33:53 How can I achieve that? Apr 13 12:34:48 Tobbi, see intent flags Apr 13 12:36:05 Tobbi, CLEAR_TOP is one that commonly used Apr 13 12:36:19 Okay, thanks. I will try that. Apr 13 12:40:39 Mavrik: Thank you very much. That worked like a charm"! Apr 13 13:05:04 I'd highly appreciate it if anyone would care to take a look at this issue which I'm totally stuck at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23031095/part-of-custom-android-view-for-ime-being-cut-off Apr 13 13:05:58 I have an issue the fragment's onCreateOptionsMenu not being called after a rotation on 4.3. Is this a known issue? Apr 13 13:14:28 there's no guarantee that will be called on orientaiton change Apr 13 13:14:46 documentation is clear about that: "This is only called once, the first time the options menu is displayed. To update the menu every time it is displayed, see onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu)." Apr 13 13:17:53 yuizy: sorry... count is a variable....for increment Apr 13 13:18:21 i have an strings array and with count ....lista[count] Apr 13 13:19:34 yuizy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7244551/ i want populate mu listview with it Apr 13 13:21:38 Hre-ask my question...for all new guys! Apr 13 13:21:45 hi guys i have a problem with my code.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7244210/ crash my app Apr 13 13:21:50 thi sis log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7244219/ Apr 13 13:21:57 this is line 54 String Compagnia = new String(lista[count]); //COMPAGNIA AEREA Apr 13 13:22:17 if i replace count with 1, is correct... why??? Apr 13 13:23:22 variable count is a variable for increment index... this is my strings array lista[] Apr 13 13:23:30 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7244551/ Apr 13 13:24:41 So you keep incrementing count.. What if the user scrolls back up? Apr 13 13:25:48 You'll save yourself a lot of trouble you keep a List of items that each represent a row in the ListView Apr 13 13:26:15 uhm... how? Apr 13 13:26:40 can u make me an example please...please..? Apr 13 13:27:08 By creating a list and filling it with objects that hold all the data for a row Apr 13 13:27:16 Like every single listview tutorial out there does Apr 13 13:28:53 SimonVT: my list is created with: CustomList adapter = new CustomList(arrivi.this.getActivity(), lista); list=(ListView)arrivi.this.getActivity().findViewById(R.id.listView1); list.setAdapter(adapter); Apr 13 13:30:38 You're also not reusing views.. And you shouldn't keep the views as member variables Apr 13 13:34:12 the my experiment is: populate a listview... into 1st row there are 6 elements... Apr 13 13:34:27 2nd row other 6 elements Apr 13 13:34:48 etc... i have parsed a table with jsoup and i want populate this Apr 13 13:35:05 http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidListView/article.html#listadvanced_interactive Apr 13 13:40:27 someone here who has experience with libgps ? Apr 13 14:00:37 hello, I'm trying to save data from sensor into database via contentResolver. If do this only for one sensor my app works OK. But if I include data from tow different sensor and save data into separate tabel, my app becom very slowly. How can I solve this problem? Apr 13 14:05:34 hi, iam getting a Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) when doing Looper.myLooper().quit(); on my Nexus5 on other devices it works as expected Apr 13 14:05:45 Actually that not having it called again would be fine, except that the fragment's menu entries are no longer there. Apr 13 14:05:45 any other way of stopping a looper`? Apr 13 14:07:31 guys, if( Compagnia[1].equals("RYANAIR")) ... dosen't work with array??? Apr 13 14:07:38 error nullPointer Apr 13 14:08:03 hello, I have a strange problem with an npe: I have an object (BluetoothGattCharacteristic) which is not null (assert (char != null)) but when I call a method on it, I get an NPE Apr 13 14:08:18 Strangerly the exception is not logged, I had to catch it manually Apr 13 14:10:53 clynamen stack trace? Apr 13 14:12:36 leslie: I printed it manually, it reach only my code: Apr 13 14:13:05 04-13 16:05:29.818: E/WatchyLogger(20113): com.example.jwatchy.WatchyBluetoothManager WatchyBluetoothManager.java 115 writeColor Apr 13 14:13:07 04-13 16:05:29.818: E/WatchyLogger(20113): com.example.jwatchy.NotificationListener NotificationListener.java 64 sendNotificationToWatch Apr 13 14:13:09 04-13 16:05:29.818: E/WatchyLogger(20113): com.example.jwatchy.NotificationListener NotificationListener.java 58 onNotificationPosted Apr 13 14:13:25 writeColor is the last function on the stack Apr 13 14:14:23 Are you sure it's not null? I dont think assertions are on by default. Apr 13 14:15:33 ah, well, let me check again Apr 13 14:20:01 leslie: yes, it's null. I didn't know about disabled assert Apr 13 14:20:41 Can you repeat that? My irc client just crashed Apr 13 14:20:45 leslie: Thank you, I was about going to look at the driver sourcecode Apr 13 14:20:51 leslie: it was null indeed Apr 13 14:20:56 Ahh Apr 13 14:21:08 leslie: and the assert was disabled, so I didn't notice Apr 13 14:21:53 Asserts are always off by default in java Apr 13 14:22:34 Kinda makes me wonder why they even exist Apr 13 14:23:22 leslie: seriously ? Strange I didn't found out about it earlier. I guess I used other stuff. Apr 13 14:25:21 i keep asserts on even in production code and use asserts as sanity checks so that beyond the assert the code is much simpler than otherwise. i code in C, but that's what i'd do in any language. Apr 13 14:25:53 That's how groovy uses them, trssnd Apr 13 14:26:11 ic Apr 13 14:26:34 For java i usually use Guava preconditions Apr 13 14:26:59 leslie: me too. Apr 13 14:31:12 anyone is expert for Sqlite here? Apr 13 14:31:16 can you help me please? Apr 13 14:31:47 yes� Apr 13 14:31:51 I can try Apr 13 14:32:25 I wonder how many apps implement NotificationListenerService using broadcasts Apr 13 14:32:41 if they're doing that, any other package can just piggyback on those broadcasts Apr 13 14:32:52 kind of nulls the whole tickbox being needed Apr 13 14:34:01 at least this example's doing just that http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2013/10/android-notificationlistenerservice-example.html Apr 13 14:37:07 i have a nullPointyer string Apr 13 14:39:01 What would be the correct way, MohammadAG? Apr 13 14:39:26 leslie at the very least, the broadcast should have a permission attached to it Apr 13 14:39:39 Ah, yeah. Apr 13 14:40:19 are PendingIntents persisted even if your app is killed? Apr 13 14:40:42 or would you have to set it up again Apr 13 14:48:43 I have a weird problem. Apr 13 14:49:13 My class implements Parceable and I write it to a Bundle when the screen orientation changes, and then read it back from the Bundle. Apr 13 14:49:42 But my CREATOR.createFromParcel code is never being run. Apr 13 14:49:49 Nor is the MyClass(Parcel in) constructor. Apr 13 14:50:01 The writeToParcel method *is* being called. Apr 13 14:50:03 But... Apr 13 14:50:13 Everything works even if my writeToParcel method does nothing., Apr 13 14:50:18 What magic is this?! Apr 13 14:50:31 Maybe it's serialised? Apr 13 14:50:52 Okay, but I didn't implement Serializable. Apr 13 14:50:58 Hm Apr 13 14:51:09 It's so weird. My reading code is not being called. Apr 13 14:51:19 But if I comment everything out it still persist's my class's data. Apr 13 14:51:19 You just get the same object instance after the orientation change Apr 13 14:51:59 If it's passed completely back to the framework (e.g. if the process is reclaimed), then it'll parcel/un-parcel it properly Apr 13 14:52:17 SimonVT: But how? I have commented out the "dest.writeWhatever();" code. Apr 13 14:52:24 In writeToParcel. Apr 13 14:52:52 .. how? Apr 13 14:52:57 I also commented out the CREATOR thing. Apr 13 14:53:03 It's the same instance Apr 13 14:53:09 Basically, all my class does is (claim to) implement Parceable. Apr 13 14:53:16 And the data is persisted. Apr 13 14:53:19 Passed from one activity to another within the same process Apr 13 14:53:41 I'm using this: title = savedInstanceState.getParcelable("title"); Apr 13 14:53:50 That seems to be picking up the same instance, as you say. Apr 13 14:54:22 I don't get how it's persisting, though. Apr 13 14:54:30 My writeToParcel code is doing *nothing* right now. Apr 13 14:54:53 That'll break if you ever try to pass it to another process Apr 13 14:54:58 "outState.putParcelable("title", title);" is used in onSaveInstanceState. Apr 13 14:56:06 In fact, my writeToParcel method is being ignored! Apr 13 14:56:19 It's the same instance.. Apr 13 14:56:20 If I write an arbitrary string, it never gets read again. Apr 13 14:56:25 I don't get it. lol Apr 13 14:56:38 I'm using Bundle.getParcelable. Apr 13 14:56:45 How is that returning the same instance? Apr 13 14:57:00 It's using serialization or something? Apr 13 14:57:07 Well, putParcelable puts it in a map or something Apr 13 14:57:11 getParcelable gets it from that map Apr 13 14:57:30 Hmm, okay. Apr 13 14:57:38 The second problem is that my reading code is just not running. Apr 13 14:57:42 I used this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.html Apr 13 14:57:54 Implemented that perfectly. createFromParcel never gets called. Apr 13 14:58:03 And therefore the constructor never gets called. Apr 13 14:58:05 .. because it's the same instance Apr 13 14:58:08 Why would it need to run it Apr 13 14:58:55 You only call the constructor once per instance Apr 13 15:00:01 Is this documented anywhere? Apr 13 15:00:10 I would expect it to run the constructor every time the screen orientation changes. Apr 13 15:00:32 I should be able to write stuff in writeToParcel and have that stuff read on screen-orientation change. Apr 13 15:00:37 That would be wasteful Apr 13 15:01:15 No need to gc old instance and create new identical instances Apr 13 15:01:47 My writeToParcel is getting called, though. Apr 13 15:01:48 "Gradle invocation completed successfully in 30 sec" - and this was only the "Run app" command with a "Hello world" sample. Is this command supposed to be slow or it's just my garbage computer? Apr 13 15:01:52 And it's simply being ignored, in effect. Apr 13 15:02:13 WSergio: There's a way to speed up Gradle. Apr 13 15:02:16 It's horribly slow by default. Apr 13 15:02:26 It's googleable with simple terms. Apr 13 15:02:37 TacticalJoke, the "org.gradle.daemon=true" trick? Apr 13 15:02:40 Yeah. Apr 13 15:03:13 Well, this 30 sec is after the "optimization".. Apr 13 15:03:24 I expect the writeToParcel call is in case the original object gets GCed or something, TacticalJoke Apr 13 15:03:52 leslie: I see. Apr 13 15:03:57 This is all weird and unpredictable. Apr 13 15:04:11 The end result is that I can't test that my code actually works. lol Apr 13 15:04:36 In dev options you can turn off background processes, that should test it Apr 13 15:04:44 I see. Apr 13 15:06:40 Why do I see a default loading pregressbar with a Listfragment? Apr 13 15:06:48 I might do it manually. Apr 13 15:06:51 Just give the class the Bundle. Apr 13 15:06:53 Way simpler. Apr 13 15:07:29 Because ListFragment shows a progressbar by default Apr 13 15:08:10 Until you give it an adapter i think. Apr 13 15:08:30 SimonVT: And the real question is, how can I set an error message to this Empty text? (when my internet fetch doesn’t return anything) Apr 13 15:08:59 leslie: Yes, I did experiement with it. It disappears when I set an adapter Apr 13 15:09:12 With setEmptyText Apr 13 15:10:07 SimonVT: Didn’t know ListFragment had such a method. Let me try. Thank you. Apr 13 15:11:05 I'm confused. Even when my class doesn't implement Parcelable, I can still say "myObject = foo.getParcelable(bar);". Apr 13 15:13:06 Why is that even compiling? Apr 13 15:13:42 is there a better way to handle re-creation of PendingIntents when the app has been force closed/killed? besides checking if the PendingIntent exists every time onCreate is called Apr 13 15:14:04 This compiles fine: "Object o = savedInstanceState.getParcelable("test");" Apr 13 15:15:42 why wouldn't it? Apr 13 15:16:31 I guess it works because of type erasure. Apr 13 15:19:36 It's just casting to the type requested, TacticalJoke. Can't pick that up at compile time Apr 13 15:24:14 why does android.jar (platforms/android-19) contain YouTube logo? Apr 13 15:27:12 shvelo: where else would it be :) Apr 13 15:31:08 GMS maybe, funkbox Apr 13 15:36:21 Can anyone help me with reading contact info? I want to read all of the contacts, but only display the group that they belong to. I was able to get it working for the contact names, but I cannot get it working for groups. I am only able to return the group names, not the group name corresponding to the contacts.
