**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 22 03:00:01 2014 Jul 22 03:06:36 just came across this: https://github.com/JakeWharton/hugo Jul 22 03:06:46 Jake Wharton rulezzz!!! Jul 22 03:16:15 Does there exist a library that has extended the Preference classes to provide a better way of automatically updating the android:summary field for each one? Jul 22 03:27:39 does SystemClock.elapsedRealTime() continue to tick when my app is backgrounded? Jul 22 03:29:18 whomp: "Returns milliseconds since boot" Jul 22 03:32:29 JesusFreke, so yes? Jul 22 03:33:26 yes Jul 22 03:33:43 Boot continues to get further away, even when you're not executing Jul 22 03:34:00 maybe he's writing a time manipulation app Jul 22 03:34:16 If so, can I beta test? Jul 22 03:34:22 I'd love to stop or reverse time Jul 22 03:36:21 wtf are these new annotations.xml in the new versions of appcompat Jul 22 03:43:34 pfn: I wish all this support, appcompat nonsense would go away Jul 22 03:47:54 why? what would you do instead? Jul 22 03:48:43 just use main? eg android.widget.ViewPager no support-v4 or support-v13 Jul 22 03:48:49 they may as well just move the whole OS into appcompat :) Jul 22 03:48:55 exactly! Jul 22 03:48:59 what's the point Jul 22 03:50:22 best would be if we can work out a community sourced library Jul 22 03:50:43 so your answer to no external libs is more external libs? Jul 22 03:51:17 no, *no* external libs and whatever is Google controlled, let it be community driven Jul 22 03:52:10 I don't know if JSR process is the best example but could be used to base on Jul 22 03:53:09 that would be awful Jul 22 03:54:23 dude! I'm using so much of your code in my projects - deepest gratitude :) Jul 22 03:55:11 is your apprehension regarding a central design ICS, Material? Jul 22 03:57:29 does anyone know how to automatically reconnect to a bt device when the connection is lost? Jul 22 03:58:11 the fact that Google is moving to external libraries is good Jul 22 03:58:23 the OS should be a foundation, not an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Jul 22 03:59:29 JakeWharton that's how I see it but the fact that UI framework is closely controlled and libs, what now seem to be, spawned at-whim Jul 22 04:00:01 OS should be the threading, process, intents, Activity, Fragment, Service, Handlers etc Jul 22 04:00:31 the widget library is Frankesteined Jul 22 04:01:08 suddenly I realize somewhere that my base activity should've extended from the support FragmentActivity Jul 22 04:01:29 and cascading getSupportFragmentManager(), et al Jul 22 04:02:07 fragment should have never been in the platform Jul 22 04:02:26 haha i knew you'd pick at that ;) Jul 22 04:02:37 I think I could agree to that Jul 22 04:13:31 is there any difference between taking y values from each touch event versus taking the y value from onScroll events? Jul 22 04:13:49 wondering if one might be smoother or something Jul 22 04:14:23 hi, anybody compile android version ics 4.0.4 under ubuntu 14.04 successed ? Jul 22 04:14:43 topic .... Jul 22 04:14:45 i got a problem like this : build/core/host_java_library.mk:56: *** Too many words (30381). Stop Jul 22 04:16:09 anybody help ? Jul 22 04:16:14 wh-hw: read teh topic Jul 22 04:17:44 no body answer me over there Jul 22 04:17:53 doesn't make t his the right channel Jul 22 04:19:53 bankai_au this logic pops up so often; there has to be a name for this progression of reasoning Jul 22 04:21:41 the human condition Jul 22 04:54:17 g00s: "entitlement" Jul 22 05:22:20 Is there any way in android to call a local variable in an activity in some other activity? Jul 22 05:34:55 anyone know how to open the amazon app store from another app? Similar to the google play method of startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName))); Jul 22 05:47:30 any way to automatically connect to a remote bluetpooth device? Jul 22 05:56:42 JakeWharton, hello using okhttp and making a simple request to a JSON API should I put all requests in AsyncTasks ? Jul 22 05:56:52 no Jul 22 05:56:56 never AsyncTask Jul 22 05:57:16 i mean, it'll work, sure Jul 22 05:57:34 but it's a bug magnet Jul 22 05:57:36 I am a bit loss here, how should I use the client on the working Jul 22 05:57:38 thread Jul 22 05:57:38 ? Jul 22 05:58:15 case scenario: I am starting the application and I should do an API call before I launch another activity Jul 22 05:58:18 Loader, IntentService, Retrofit, Volley, HandlerThread Jul 22 05:58:26 anything but AsyncTask Jul 22 05:59:17 I see I haven't heard of the Loader - will check it out thanks Jul 22 06:00:17 Is there a way to get contact's contact id through Phone class? Jul 22 06:00:58 JakeWharton, what would you use Async for? Jul 22 06:01:19 i don't know Jul 22 06:01:27 saving something to the filesystem Jul 22 06:01:48 something one-off that will take no more than 100ms Jul 22 06:03:13 Retrofit seems kind of nice, it uses okhttp as a client ? Jul 22 06:03:22 it can Jul 22 06:03:26 it's agnostic to the http client Jul 22 06:03:35 but if you have OkHttp it will use it automatically Jul 22 06:04:05 I see what you mean.. Jul 22 06:04:51 so okhttp, retrofit and picasso - alternative of volley Jul 22 06:04:55 as a stack Jul 22 06:05:04 volley can be used with okhttp Jul 22 06:05:07 yes Jul 22 06:05:15 but yes, i use the former three Jul 22 06:05:35 I will give it a try it's a new project thank you Jul 22 06:07:23 tagrudev: an alternative network library that you might want to consider: https://github.com/koush/ion Jul 22 06:07:42 How can I get the Contacts._ID from CommonDataKinds.Phone? Jul 22 06:07:49 the Contacts._ID and Phone._ID don't match. Jul 22 06:11:29 barbs, I was using loopj/async-task-http, it depends on httpurlconnection though Jul 22 06:12:42 this ion thing though looks nice and it's all in one stack Jul 22 06:13:08 tagrudev: I've used it a little bit before, it's quite nice. Jul 22 06:30:32 hey Jul 22 06:30:34 Hmm.. I get runtime exception when searching for contact's phone number. Jul 22 06:31:05 whats a good way of implementing a trial of an app, requiring an in-app purchase after some time? Jul 22 06:31:27 a check on sysdate wont stop hacks like the time machine feature in per app hacking xposed module Jul 22 06:31:41 then again, everything can be hacked Jul 22 06:33:36 hi anyone there? Jul 22 06:34:05 i want to develop an app with using web services Jul 22 06:34:19 can anyone give me idea ? Jul 22 06:36:26 can I look at an existing bluetooth connection to see if it is a client or server or both? Jul 22 06:37:01 haci not sure what you want Jul 22 06:37:54 detachYo i never used web services before Jul 22 06:38:19 so i have no idea i just want to develop simple app as an example Jul 22 06:38:41 have you searched google? Jul 22 06:38:49 web service is mostly your service that the app can talk to Jul 22 06:39:12 for example, if you have RESTful service, something like https://mywebsite.com/user/get/user_id Jul 22 06:39:20 which can return json, then you take that json and parse in your receiver end Jul 22 06:40:57 got it thanks Jul 22 06:51:02 I have a string variable userid_value Jul 22 06:51:29 I want to access this string variable in some other activity Jul 22 06:51:33 how can i do that? Jul 22 06:51:48 will activityname.userid_value work? Jul 22 06:54:05 niru: if you can import the R, then it shouldn't be a problem I think Jul 22 06:54:42 you mean I can access thorugh resources? Jul 22 06:54:47 yes Jul 22 06:55:25 Will R file store all the variables which are either global or local ? Jul 22 06:56:06 oh wait, I thought that you mean a string from strings.xml Jul 22 06:56:15 meital: no :( Jul 22 06:56:33 I have decalred a string like this String userid_value=un.getText().toString(); Jul 22 06:56:33 so you are asking a general java problem? Jul 22 06:56:41 and I want to use this userid_value in someother activity Jul 22 06:57:01 use like only get its value? Jul 22 06:57:04 I'm trying to compile an android project, and I keep getting this error: Jul 22 06:57:08 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.8.0:generate-sources (default-generate-sources) on project wallet: Execution default-generate-sources of goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.8.0:generate-sources failed: Invalid SDK: Platform/API level 14 not available. This command should give you all you need: Jul 22 06:57:12 you can write a getter Jul 22 06:57:23 meital: ah ok... Jul 22 06:57:32 I checked with android-sdk/tools/android sdk and I have buildtools installed, platform 14 API is installed as well Jul 22 06:57:39 What might be the problem here? Jul 22 06:57:42 public String getWhatever() { return whatever; } Jul 22 07:07:07 I checked with android-sdk/tools/android sdk and I have buildtools installed, platform 14 API is installed as well Jul 22 07:07:24 I'm trying to compile an android project, and I keep getting this error: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.8.0:generate-sources (default-generate-sources) on project wallet: Execution default-generate-sources of goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.8.0:generate-sources failed: Invalid SDK: Platform/API level 14 not available. This command Jul 22 07:07:24 should give you all you need: Jul 22 07:07:38 Problem is that AFAIK, I have that installed already, so who do I keep getting that error? Jul 22 07:12:01 Hi, I'm querying to Events.CONTENT_URI to get all the avaliable events. When there is a full day event, its start time is 0:00 GMT and not local zone. any idea how to fix that? Jul 22 07:15:33 Is this not a proper field String userid_value=un.getText().toString(); Jul 22 07:15:39 meital: ? Jul 22 07:18:24 niru, Activity objects can't access each other, they're not meant to do that Jul 22 07:18:43 If you need to access it, pass it as an intent extra Jul 22 07:19:45 How do I access the documents folder of my app over USB? Can that be done via Android File Transfer tool for Mac? Jul 22 07:20:15 with shell Jul 22 07:20:25 I'll give that a quick google then Jul 22 07:21:02 nope, not rooted. Jul 22 07:21:08 is there a way to access that without root? Jul 22 07:21:14 I guess yes Jul 22 07:21:18 adb shell Jul 22 07:21:34 then /data/data/app.name/ Jul 22 07:21:35 etc Jul 22 07:21:58 ohh Jul 22 07:22:10 wait, it lets me chdir but doesn't let me see anything Jul 22 07:22:39 You can't do it easily without root Jul 22 07:22:49 :/ Jul 22 07:22:56 Unless you code in your own file browser to your app ;) Jul 22 07:23:01 haha Jul 22 07:23:01 ok Jul 22 07:23:04 forget that then Jul 22 07:23:10 I have a higher level question now Jul 22 07:23:59 I want to log the past 20 events and send them with a crashlog when the app crashes Jul 22 07:24:09 frankdrey: what about mounting sdcard elsewhere? Jul 22 07:24:15 My idea is to log to a file, then read the last 20 lines to send with the crashlog Jul 22 07:24:18 Is this reasonable? Jul 22 07:24:56 ekx: crash logging and reporting is common Jul 22 07:25:16 squ, it's not on SD card Jul 22 07:25:30 ekx, why not send just the stack trace? Jul 22 07:25:40 Oh Jul 22 07:25:43 frankdrey: not sure that has enough info Jul 22 07:25:47 I dunno, up to you Jul 22 07:25:49 :p Jul 22 07:25:54 frankdrey: in some cases I might need some other info Jul 22 07:26:03 ekx: I guess you have to have permission to deploy that app Jul 22 07:26:09 Android won't let you access logs you shouldn't Jul 22 07:26:13 As of 4.1 Jul 22 07:26:14 I mean add a logging capabilites and deploy on device Jul 22 07:26:32 I already have an internal Log() function that I use for other purposes Jul 22 07:26:44 so it is your app? Jul 22 07:26:49 I just added (but have not tested) logging to a file on disk Jul 22 07:26:49 yes Jul 22 07:26:57 it's my own app Jul 22 07:27:59 also, on Android, there's only a few directories we can shove data in, right? filesDir, cacheDir, and external versions of each? Jul 22 07:28:47 Anywhere on external if you request the permission Jul 22 07:29:13 ah right Jul 22 07:29:14 ok Jul 22 07:31:23 oh fuck, my mouse stopped working Jul 22 07:33:15 so if I want to keep the log files around as temporary data, yet still want testers to be able to send me the full log files, should I stick it in the caches directory? Jul 22 07:33:26 I see that some files can be accessed from Android File Transfer tool without any special setup Jul 22 07:33:40 I'm not sure what those files are though Jul 22 07:42:28 Getting no where fast, been looking. I run ubuntu 14.04 and my Samsung Galaxy note 3 does not mount at all. Any of you ran into this? if so what did you do ? Jul 22 07:45:04 lasserix are you there? Jul 22 07:51:50 hey, whenever I add a FloatingActionButton (from https://github.com/FaizMalkani/FloatingActionButton) to a DrawerLayout it appears to be treated as a pullout drawer on the right Jul 22 07:52:07 is there any way to stop this? Jul 22 07:59:36 w8 nvm Jul 22 08:14:58 how can i share simple data (imagine an id) to another device running the same app? Jul 22 08:16:02 fancy42: internet, bluetooth, nfc, wifi direct, audio, getting someone to type it Jul 22 08:17:04 Estel, i meant remotely, sorry. also i don't want to write my own webservice Jul 22 08:18:14 i'm currently looking into google cloud messaging... Jul 22 08:19:27 Consider a BAAS like Parse Jul 22 08:21:02 fancy42: try Pubnub Jul 22 08:25:58 thanks, i'm looking into that right now... but since this is for a minor feature i don't think i can spend too much time/money on it :/ Jul 22 08:54:00 hey Jul 22 08:54:18 my app is setting a diferent theme for the main activity in diferent phones Jul 22 08:54:47 different how? Jul 22 08:54:50 i'm testing it with the samsung galaxy s4 and it works fine, on phones that don't have the options key, it fails Jul 22 08:54:57 well the action bar color is diferent Jul 22 08:55:08 and i'm using fragment tab host, and the fragments just overlap the tabs Jul 22 08:55:17 and the tabs are transparent Jul 22 08:55:33 and i can't find a reason for that to happen Jul 22 08:55:48 Can you screenshot, and maybe paste your styles.xml? Jul 22 08:57:45 ofc, give me a few minutes Jul 22 09:11:56 http://pastebin.com/UWDX0m33 why? Jul 22 09:12:50 tabhost ;_; Jul 22 09:13:51 yofun, it doesn't have default category Jul 22 09:18:52 Anyone know which part of the metainformation about a song on a given album is the most used search term when searching music? Jul 22 09:19:24 title? -.- Jul 22 09:19:37 then artist then album? Jul 22 09:19:55 you said given album, so yeah Jul 22 09:20:16 Maybe the album doesn't matter so much these days ;p Jul 22 09:20:36 matters to me, a lot :p Jul 22 09:20:41 I always listen to an album at a time Jul 22 09:20:47 and in order Jul 22 09:20:48 :p Jul 22 09:21:59 Ahh so you must only listen to vinyl? Jul 22 09:22:14 no... what makes you say that -.- Jul 22 09:22:40 one album at a time and in order, most audiophiles swear by their record players Jul 22 09:23:01 I'm a sensible audiophile Jul 22 09:23:03 The seek on a record player is supposed to scratch the quality too! Jul 22 09:23:12 I'm also a music player developer Jul 22 09:23:32 Oh yeah I think I remember you posted up some screen shot some time trying to resolve something? Jul 22 09:23:45 possibly Jul 22 09:24:25 I rarely ask questions though because it's generally so easy to find the answers Jul 22 09:24:56 lasserix: hi Jul 22 09:26:03 Zharf yeah, less fun sometimes though there's a reason to goto classes sometims Jul 22 09:26:07 hello niru Jul 22 09:26:27 is there a very simple logging facility in Android, my target is 4.4 and above. Jul 22 09:26:30 > Jul 22 09:26:33 ? Jul 22 09:26:38 lasserix: you remember I was asking for skipping login activity? Jul 22 09:26:38 but my music player doesn't use android's own decoders and metadata library, so I don't really know much about those... though I should investigate them a little to see if I could fabricate an intent for endomondo to figuere out which song I'm listening to... just simply making a same kind of intent as MediaPlayer does didn't work, most likely because the metadata library didn't have the id Jul 22 09:27:00 lasserix, classes? like... school/study? :) Jul 22 09:28:16 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5554682/android-imageview-adjusting-parents-height-and-fitting-width there is not standard ImageView to solve this issue? Jul 22 09:29:23 Zharf it should be pretty easy to insert to the Music MediaStore Jul 22 09:29:27 lasserix: http://pastebin.com/yT0whsp3 worked Jul 22 09:29:50 lasserix, yeah probably, I just haven't had the time to look into it :) Jul 22 09:29:57 niru nice looks very clean :) Jul 22 09:30:18 lasserix: but is that correct approach? Jul 22 09:30:21 and you can call it wherever you need to in the activity Jul 22 09:30:23 sure Jul 22 09:30:32 Nivag, define simple logging facility? Jul 22 09:31:16 just remember that getIntent() is really (MainActivity) this.getIntent() Jul 22 09:31:55 Actually which intent are you getting this from? This is in your second activity ? Jul 22 09:32:19 lasserix: no I added it in the first activity. But this gets executed every time Jul 22 09:32:34 lasserix: and even if not logged in I come to 2nd activity automatically Jul 22 09:32:39 niru you are already in mainactivity so why do you launch it again? Jul 22 09:34:21 niru activities are started with intents, so if you start MainActivity with the intent that you set "need logic extra" to true, it'll goto the else. but the android system is calling the launcher intent (usually) when your app starts, so it'll (usually) never a value of "need login extra" set so it'lll never return true Jul 22 09:35:15 Zharf: I'm a very experienced developer, but relatively new to web stuff, and almost a total novice at Android. I would like to put simple debug statements so that they appear on the console when I run it from Eclipse. Later when my app is being tested, I will want to log key information to a file on the device itself. n I'm writing a specialized app that is to run on a Nexus 7, so I only... Jul 22 09:35:16 ...have to worry about Android 4.4 and above. These 2 use cases could be done using different techniques, if that is more sensible. Jul 22 09:37:22 niru: try http://pastebin.com/HqenJYLL this should work in the same way Jul 22 09:37:58 but now you can also insert a value, when the user actually completes the login (after the first time) Jul 22 09:38:29 lasserix: let me check Jul 22 09:38:59 Nivag, http://www.slf4j.org/android/ Jul 22 09:39:05 can probably do it Jul 22 09:39:10 Zharf: I've been programming in Java on & off since JDK1.1, before that several other languages C, COBOL, FORTRAN, and others. In essence: I can over complicate before I realize it! :-) Jul 22 09:39:11 my videoview is reset when I scroll around and it gets out of view Jul 22 09:39:15 thanks Jul 22 09:39:21 turns black and starts over again Jul 22 09:39:25 want to avoid reloading Jul 22 09:40:26 I just finished building aosp for my n7 (flo) and after "fastboot flashall" it is stuck at the google logo screen. Is there any way do debug this? Jul 22 09:41:23 mathias_: got a hammer? Jul 22 09:41:53 niru; sorry got my bools reversed, check your msgs Jul 22 09:44:06 Anyone knowledgeable about Android URI matching in the AndroidManifest? The pattern matcher is really bizarre Jul 22 09:44:37 I want to match example.com/foo and example.com/magic/ but not example.com/somethingOther/andherecomesmore Jul 22 09:45:07 I was quite successful with two data elements pathPattern set to "/..*" and "/..*/", but it still matches the last case Jul 22 09:50:31 How do I add a aar file to the libs folder in a project in android studio? Jul 22 09:51:02 Desarun: Yes, do I need to attach a serial debugger to actually debug this? Jul 22 09:52:50 mathias_: stick the log up on hastebin.com & lets have a look Jul 22 09:53:23 How do I get the log? I think its too early in the boot process to attach with adb Jul 22 09:53:36 At least its not working. Jul 22 09:53:46 mathias_: when you flashed it, you would've done it via the command line, right? Jul 22 09:54:00 Yes, with fastboot, and it reported no errors **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 22 09:55:15 2014 Jul 22 09:57:39 how do I make my app show up on the list of apps to take notes with when using google now's "take a note" command Jul 22 09:59:30 rymate1234: Install IntentIntercept and check what intent to catch. Jul 22 10:00:59 (Assuming it uses Intent based selection) Jul 22 10:01:49 appears to be Jul 22 10:02:00 it looks like the standard intent chooser Jul 22 10:02:10 thanks Jul 22 10:03:27 :) Jul 22 10:03:55 flan3002, apparently it cannot intercept it Jul 22 10:03:56 :( Jul 22 10:04:22 doesnt appear as an option - only google keep and gmail does Jul 22 10:04:35 * flan3002 sighs. Jul 22 10:05:40 ? Jul 22 10:05:56 rymate1234: What exactly do you enter? Jul 22 10:06:07 I mean... how do you take a note? :D Jul 22 10:06:11 "take a note" into google now Jul 22 10:06:20 or "note to self" Jul 22 10:07:03 Indeed... Jul 22 10:07:36 gonna try and logcat it Jul 22 10:07:40 see what happens Jul 22 10:07:57 It shows Any.do and GMail for me... Jul 22 10:08:12 I'll find out. ;) Jul 22 10:08:20 well at least it isnt a google exclusive.. :D Jul 22 10:08:21 hope!

Jul 22 10:10:45 *its Jul 22 10:17:09 I have an aar file, I am trying to include in my gradle android studio project, but am failing miserably, anyone do something like this? Jul 22 10:17:27 later this aar file will be in the maven central, but for now trying to just test it locally Jul 22 10:17:37 Configure a local maven repository Jul 22 10:17:51 is an option, anyway Jul 22 10:17:54 Um yeah, I am trying to do it Jul 22 10:18:03 the trick with repo flatDir ? Jul 22 10:18:18 err flarDir { dirs 'libs' } ? Jul 22 10:18:22 *flatDir Jul 22 10:18:50 not looked at flatdir, sorry Jul 22 10:23:53 thanks tho Jul 22 10:24:14 yay it works! Jul 22 10:24:19 time to recieve the intent now Jul 22 11:01:11 I could spend all day watching monkeyrunner Jul 22 11:11:53 I want to call the openLogout() present in once activity in another .How to do? Jul 22 11:24:49 I have a core2duo system with 4gb ram. Is it normal that running eclipse and a AVD takes like almost 100% cpu? Jul 22 11:31:14 Probably, the emulator is awful Jul 22 11:31:17 jesperj: look at genymotion Jul 22 11:32:46 thanks Jul 22 11:33:21 It's crippling my system so much that I have to close the AVD when I want to code because there is delay even scrolling the code <_< Jul 22 11:34:17 I never thought my core2 4gb ram system was EVER sluggish before android development lol Jul 22 11:38:43 did you open the emulator from eclipse? I found out that opening it from "android avd" and not from eclipse has better performance Jul 22 11:39:04 Question: If you have some free time and want to build something small, what would it be ? Jul 22 11:43:55 meital: Always from eclipse via "run" yes. I will try that thanks Jul 22 11:45:16 jesperj: Just try Genymotion. You will not regret it Jul 22 11:46:13 * jesperj googles it Jul 22 11:46:43 the_silver_one: something small like a small app? Jul 22 11:49:07 I am a dev, and will have some free time soon to work on something small... Anyone have any ideas ? Jul 22 11:49:28 yes a small app Jul 22 11:58:19 i'm very confused by the appearance of progress_medium_holo, i believe it *should* look like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/6o4Bd.png (with 2 circles), but in some places mine seem to get drawn differently, with only one circle like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/WoRNk.png Jul 22 12:04:45 Hello everyone. I'm trying to connect to arduion via bluetooth, but when i trying to http://paste.ubuntu.com/7835687/ im getting error: 07-22 14:58:14.173 17551-17551/kazak.btwoupe D/BLUETOOTH﹕ read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1 Jul 22 12:06:36 kazak1377: just guessing - did you add the permissions to the manifest? Jul 22 12:07:08 meital: uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" android:maxSdkVersion="19" /> Jul 22 12:07:08

Jul 22 12:07:22 the_silver_one: with/without ui? a game? something useful? Jul 22 12:16:00 any ideas? Jul 22 12:27:16 my one plus one is doa, woe is me :( Jul 22 12:28:42 Hi. Alll I want is to make a "Hello World" app, that gets the imei of the user. How can i do thi Jul 22 12:29:43 KingInTheNorth: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1972381/how-to-programmatically-get-the-devices-imei-esn-in-android Jul 22 12:33:18 Thanks for link meital . Do you mind me asking how the developer could save the IMEI in the background? Jul 22 12:33:38 KingInTheNorth: I didn't understand the question Jul 22 12:34:05 meital: How do I save the person's IMEI? Jul 22 12:34:37 String androidID = System.getString(this.getContentResolver(),System.ANDROID_ID); Jul 22 12:34:46 and then u have it in androidID var Jul 22 12:35:44 oe: Jul 22 12:35:45 or: Jul 22 12:35:48 TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); Jul 22 12:36:01 String imei = telephonyManager.getDeviceId(); Jul 22 12:36:26 Hey, For some reason GCM gives me a 401 when I try to send a request from my server but it works fine when doing it on my local machine. I set the ip for the server key to 0.0.0.0/0 so that shouldn't be an issue. Do an of you guys know what's happening? My code: https://nnmm.nl/?PVJ Jul 22 12:44:23 a horrendously stupid Q I guess but ..... I have an ImageView and I can set the background using set view.setBackgroundResource(bg); and the fg using view.setImageResource(fg); . I can retrieve the *bg* "drawable" using view.getBackground(). But do I retrieve the foreground "drawable"? Or isnt it a drawable. I'm getting a little confused here .. ;) Jul 22 12:46:24 Anyway of me coding this app without me downloading eclipse and sdk android? am lazy to wait for that t o download(other comp) Jul 22 12:46:43 You're joking right? Jul 22 12:46:47 Nope :)) Jul 22 12:47:10 dont wanna download on this comp Jul 22 12:47:49 KingInTheNorth: Yes, sure. It's just a lot more complicated. :) Jul 22 12:47:49 stop spamming. Jul 22 12:49:47 rgr, setBackground and getBackground are calls on any View Jul 22 12:50:03 rgr, and ImageView has a set of setImage* for settings and getDrawable() for getting image :) Jul 22 12:50:23 hello, sometimes shift esc doesn't collapse the other windows. It's really annoying. is there an absolute way(keyboard way, not mouse) to switch to just the editor view only, aka shortcut? Jul 22 12:50:37 Sorry, in Android Studio Jul 22 12:50:51 ah,. getDrawable. doh. Jul 22 12:51:21 naming is all over the place ;) Jul 22 12:51:40 veQue: not perfect but maybe close enough CMD+up_arrow followed by CMD+down_arrow (in MAC) Jul 22 12:53:06 thanks, i tried ctrl up, ctrl down in windows, no luck. But thanks for the effort =) Jul 22 13:03:03 KingInTheNorth, easy to use vim Jul 22 13:04:26 pfn: Well, plus hand-dexing, zip-aligning, signing and the whole stuff. Without adb you'll have to transfer and install it by hand. And all this assumes he actually got Java installed. :) Jul 22 13:05:39 (Though you don't need to zip-align) Jul 22 13:05:45 ant, gradle, maven, etc do all this Jul 22 13:06:14 Well, without the SDK? Not so much. :) Jul 22 13:10:33 who said no sdk, just no adt or studio Jul 22 13:10:49 Does anyone have an idea on what might cause "jarsigner error: java.util.zip.ZipException: ZIP file must have at least one entry" when signing an apk file? Jul 22 13:11:07 empty apk Jul 22 13:11:12 without me downloading eclipse and sdk android... But it's not worth discussing. :) Jul 22 13:13:45 you can probably get away with no sdk on maven and such, can compile but not produce an apk Jul 22 13:14:27 You can compile to .class-es, which is unlikely to be what he wanted. :) Jul 22 13:17:06 pfn: The apk isn't empty. Jul 22 13:18:06 it's enough for many aspects of development Jul 22 13:18:17 Matt_von_Mises, sure it is Jul 22 13:20:03 Is is possible to restrict user going between two activities using the return/back button ? I have two activities Main and Auth when application runs it starts the Main > onCreate() here I check SP if user is logged in if not I start Auth activity now I have to prevent user from being able to go back to Main activity until they are logged in basically until a string is added to SP Jul 22 13:20:44 neredsenvy, just finish() the main activity Jul 22 13:20:56 and it'll be removed from the backstack, which means pressing back will close the app Jul 22 13:21:12 please, DON'T disable the back button, it's a horrible user-hostile pattern. Jul 22 13:21:30 pfn: I can confirm that it is not. It appears to contain everything in there. Jul 22 13:22:01 Ah ok so basically finish the main activity then when user presses login button I validate the credentials and if they pass I start the main activity and close the auth Jul 22 13:22:02 Thanks Jul 22 13:22:13 mhm Jul 22 13:24:47 how do you confirm Jul 22 13:26:58 pfn: I used ls to see that the apk contains data and Ark to view the contents. Jul 22 13:28:58 I'm having a problem with canvas.drawRoundRect, basically only a small area of the image is drawn. Is there a way I can select a source rectangle? Jul 22 13:29:29 no idea what Ark is, use unzip or jar Jul 22 13:33:30 pfn: Ark is a archive manager. I'm trying to find out what package jarsigner belongs to on my system but I can't find that out. Jul 22 13:34:04 it's part of the jdk Jul 22 13:34:32 I'm using the camera API to let the user take a picture with their camera, but I also want to be able to let the user pick a photo from the file system. is there a standard way of doing this, or do I implement it using the file system APIs? Jul 22 13:39:05 anyone know of a good resource, ourside of the API docs, that discuss the different things you can apply to fg and bg in an ImageView? I can have an AnimatedDrawable on the bg but not the fg it seems. Or is it one or the other? Jul 22 13:39:06 action pick Jul 22 13:39:46 maybe with Intent.createChooser? Jul 22 13:41:31 ah. figured it. the run time crash was because I was trying to cast a simple drawable, not a drawablecontainer/animationdrawable to an animationdrawable. Jul 22 13:43:44 pfn: It looks like my system has JDK 7 (no idea how/when it was installed). I'll try jdk 8. Jul 22 13:44:28 Matt_von_Mises, for andoid JDK 7 should be fine (even 6) Jul 22 13:44:34 why? JDK 7 is fine. Jul 22 13:45:34 it is fine Jul 22 13:45:44 your apk is broken Jul 22 13:45:57 you hav not proven otherwise Jul 22 13:46:36

error 401
