**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 02 02:59:59 2015 Jan 02 03:00:17 alright Jan 02 03:00:32 we should get a dashboard update in the next week which will probably show 16+ start to approach 90% Jan 02 03:01:07 The colour difference between my tablet and my phone is amazing. Jan 02 03:01:22 My tablet's whites are way redder than my phone's. My phone's are pretty blue. Jan 02 03:03:02 Some text that looks almost pure white on my phone looks grey on my tablet. Jan 02 03:03:44 TacticalJoke: some roms hava options to fix this, right? Jan 02 03:04:08 I've heard something like that, yeah. But I still need to worry about this. :D Jan 02 03:04:15 I way prefer blues, personally. Jan 02 03:04:50 Red is nice for movies. Jan 02 03:05:05 Or improving people's appearances in Photoshop. Jan 02 03:05:10 blue is not that bad at all Jan 02 03:31:52 another fragments vs activities on /r/androiddev Jan 02 03:32:08 TacticalJoke you are right, reddit has been sucking Jan 02 03:41:44 I stumbled upon /r/nosleep tonight. Saw a really nice little story there. Jan 02 03:42:26 I'd better go. Have fun. Jan 02 04:05:03 What is the best way to show some type of progress spinner/bar for when my app does a call to my rest api? Jan 02 04:06:44 I have an if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) { .. switch to another activity .. } in my main/startup activity. Is there any way to move this to the manifest ? It seems to cause a delay on application boot Jan 02 04:18:08 t0astt: depends on your app Jan 02 04:18:23 if you are asking for style advice that is Jan 02 04:18:41 me, i have jewels spinning around an elephant Jan 02 04:24:49 Agamemnus: Not style advice, just what the most "material" way to do it would be... like a spinner? Jan 02 04:25:09 oh, yeah, no idea Jan 02 04:25:23 But also, a higher priority question: how come my app looks different in the android studio designer than it does on my phone? In AS, my button has a dropshadow, but on my phone it does not Jan 02 04:25:53 Also in AS the app does not have the "title bar", but on my phone it does Jan 02 04:26:05 both in the emulator and my phone Jan 02 04:26:15 Custom rom Jan 02 04:26:21 Perhaps Jan 02 04:26:30 Darklust: Nope. I'm running a Google Play Edition ROM on my phone Jan 02 04:26:35 and the emulator is stock Jan 02 04:26:44 different OS version? Jan 02 04:26:44 want screenshots so you can see what I'm talking about? Jan 02 04:26:58 I think you only get shadows after a certain version Jan 02 04:27:39 how can I check the version the android studio preview is using? Jan 02 04:28:14 dunno Jan 02 04:28:24 ok well my phone is KK Jan 02 04:28:35 and my emulator is Lollipop I believe Jan 02 04:28:44 yep, Lolli Jan 02 04:29:19 ah, I can see a VERY slight shadow on the emulator, but it's nothing like in AS Jan 02 04:30:32 Anyway, so for a spinning loading icon I'd want to use a ProgressDialog? Jan 02 04:31:38 t0astt you can use SwipeRefreshLayout maybe Jan 02 04:33:25 Thanks for the suggestion. Just looked it up but that's not what I need :/ This is for when the user hits "submit email" until the "email sent" text appears Jan 02 04:34:40 why even do that ? just submit the email, and when its done show a snack saying it was sent Jan 02 04:35:07 A snack? Jan 02 04:35:21 snackbar Jan 02 04:35:30 ??? link? Jan 02 04:35:42 http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/snackbars-toasts.html Jan 02 04:35:43 like that? Jan 02 04:36:11 yeah Jan 02 04:36:18 I like that... a lot more elegant than my solution. Nice. I'll take a look. Thanks! Jan 02 04:37:37 Actually... is that built in? Or do I need a separate library to do taht? Jan 02 04:39:31 you can use nispok snackbar Jan 02 04:41:16 Yeah, I just found that. So all I do is add the 'compile 'com.nispok:snackbar:2.7.3'' to my build.gradle and then sync? Jan 02 04:41:25 Apologies for the mega-noob questions :P Jan 02 04:41:31 i'd add 2.7.+ but yeah Jan 02 04:42:12 How do I know that I'm able to use it now? Just try using the code? Jan 02 04:42:26 heh, refresh your gradle project in AS Jan 02 04:42:40 I did Sync, is that right? Jan 02 04:42:42 then just use it ;) Jan 02 04:42:47 yeah Jan 02 04:42:55 oh wow Jan 02 04:42:58 Sweet! :D Jan 02 04:43:06 So did Gradle automatically download the library? Jan 02 04:43:09 yes Jan 02 04:43:11 Or how does that work? Jan 02 04:43:24 Gradle is f'in cool xD Jan 02 04:43:40 same w/ you g00s Jan 02 04:43:48 heh, thanks ;) Jan 02 04:44:04 this is my first android app ever and you guys are helping me a ton Jan 02 04:51:34 What is Gradle Jan 02 04:51:36 lol Jan 02 04:51:36 WOO! The Snackbar works great :D Jan 02 04:51:58 Does it like compile the app? Jan 02 04:54:12 Looked it up online Jan 02 04:55:05 g00s. that Snackbar library. You are a godsend. you win the internet for tonight! Jan 02 04:55:15 wohoo Jan 02 04:55:18 \o/ Jan 02 04:55:25 So admob got to $3.56 in ad revenues. Jan 02 04:55:34 And then it went down to $3.23 Jan 02 04:55:41 What gives? Does this happen often? Jan 02 04:56:05 I emailed Google but they didn't reply. Jan 02 04:56:57 dude, you really think Google are going to respond to a request about 30c with anything but an automated response? Jan 02 04:58:05 Leeds: (1) They didn't even give me an automated response. (2) It's hard to recognize sarcasm on the internet, I suppose. Jan 02 04:58:22 everything is estimated and malleable *at least* until they actually pay you... Jan 02 04:59:01 but i don't know how they figure that out.... do they like get a bid price but not THE bid price? (for the click) Jan 02 04:59:03 or WHAT? Jan 02 04:59:39 any thoughts? Jan 02 05:10:01 Ok, question time. SO I have this code(http://pastebin.com/H7sFfRfM). I want to call the same method that the code is executing in, however I wouldn't be able to pass it a View. What is the best way to do this? Jan 02 05:12:23 Agamemnus: I don't mean to burst your bubble, but you'll see the money go up and up, and before your payout, google shutsdown and bans your ad account for no good reason Jan 02 05:13:28 I would sue them if that is the case.. Jan 02 05:13:33 I have been extremely careful. Jan 02 05:14:37 A lot of the time I see people complaining about that on reddit, but then they realize there was a copyright issue Jan 02 05:14:50 All my images are either licensed, my own, or public domain Jan 02 05:15:20 Agamemnus i've read about apps using licensed material getting banned too. their bots don't know that you licensed it Jan 02 05:15:30 then i will sue google Jan 02 05:15:35 for 50 million dollars Jan 02 05:15:39 at least Jan 02 05:15:39 ^ Jan 02 05:15:57 better than having my app up ^_^ Jan 02 05:16:23 I wonder if anyone has actually tried to sue them. Jan 02 05:16:36 Because I never heard of it. At least as regards to the Play Store. Jan 02 05:17:32 anyone see this book ? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0674863216 ... wondering if it applies at all to your sense of location in an app Jan 02 05:17:36 I'm seeing so many violations of their so-called terms of service, it's laughable.. Jan 02 05:18:01 Sure I think so, g00s Jan 02 05:18:12 why not, it is all the same Jan 02 05:18:28 when I used to play Runescape, I had a very keen understanding of where everything was Jan 02 05:18:39 better than the real world.... Jan 02 05:19:51 Hmm. I just read a post on Reddit with a guy asking about IAPs Jan 02 05:20:01 I wonder how to handle reversals. Jan 02 05:20:27 Like, say, someone buys gems (or whatever) in an app.... then they use the gems to activate a feature.... and then they ask for a refund. Jan 02 05:20:30 What then? Jan 02 05:23:56 Give them more gems and position it such that they believe there's more value to them than the .99 cents they paid Jan 02 05:25:47 I don't understand Jan 02 05:26:08 When I say "ask for a refund", I mean they go to Google Play and click the "refund" button Jan 02 05:27:08 honestly I'm not 100% sure this is possible for IAPs Jan 02 05:27:10 IAPs don't have a refund button... Jan 02 05:27:44 Oh, that makes things easier... :P Jan 02 06:08:46 Toast.makeText().show() works from a worker thread? Jan 02 06:18:18 hey all, anyone around? Jan 02 06:20:28 i am here auser Jan 02 06:20:33 Mavrik, Thank you for pointing me at right direction Jan 02 06:20:51 Mavrik understands Jan 02 06:21:01 I got it working with startActivityForResult() Jan 02 06:21:10 pifon, ?? Jan 02 06:21:13 I am launching an activity from a broadcast. The activity’s sole purpose is to open, take a picture, and close. When the device is awake, it works just fine, but when the broadcast is received when it’s sleeping, the phone wakes up, but the activity doesn’t launch and no photo is taken Jan 02 06:21:49 nvm Jan 02 06:21:53 Awesome… I’ve been working on this for two days, trying various approaches to get the screen to load, delaying the execution, wrapping it in a secondary activity, etc. Jan 02 06:21:57 Isnt taking picture a user action ? Jan 02 06:22:13 ? Jan 02 06:22:35 Other words: Using camera without user action is not possible IMHO Jan 02 06:22:48 It works when the screen is on Jan 02 06:23:06 the problem isn’t user action, the issue is waking up from sleep to load the activity Jan 02 06:31:20 maybe you lack a permission Jan 02 06:40:48 Marlinski: me? Jan 02 06:46:03 okay, then another question.. why would an activity call `onResume()` and the next call would be `onPause` Jan 02 06:54:19 okay… I created a gist of what I’m talking about… perhaps that might help? Jan 02 07:17:54 I've used onResume practically by having an app update after a user hit back from a settings activity Jan 02 07:46:59 Hi, is anyone here familiar with the ShowCaseView library? (https://github.com/amlcurran/ShowcaseView) ; I can't find a sample that actually works; the library has recently been updated :( Jan 02 07:49:51 yea veryfatcat Jan 02 07:49:55 hi guys - has anyone built a photo upload app on Android ? I'm wondering if you guys have faced problems with using pre-signed urls to upload images to s3 directly. Jan 02 07:51:00 Odaym, could I PM you for assistance with using that library? Jan 02 07:51:31 I dont like to go to pm, talk here Jan 02 07:54:06 how do i debug android device though usb? i just wanna printout stuff. Jan 02 07:56:03 ok; So the new ShowCaseView library uses the "Builder pattern", I've tried using it in a fragment but I can't figure out how to get the overlay to work Jan 02 07:56:08 each system image in the sdk manager is a device you are targetting (preconfigured for the generics of that device) correct? Jan 02 07:56:12 monkeyisl: try this http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html Jan 02 07:57:34 so the Intel x86 Atom and the x86 Atom 64 are emulator images of an Intel 32 bit android device and a 64 bit android device, correct? Jan 02 08:00:53 the overlay to work? Jan 02 08:00:59 when you do .show() on it, it'll show Jan 02 08:04:54 veryfatcat : thanks... btw. do i have to install android SDK to tester's PC? lol that's huge... Jan 02 08:13:15 http://developer.android.com/tools/help/monitor.html LOL Jan 02 08:13:25 btw still asks to install sdk though. Jan 02 08:13:52 yes, but don't need eclipse Jan 02 08:21:20 Hello! Jan 02 08:21:55 Sculptor : hello? ?? Jan 02 08:22:06 I've asked an Android question on StackOverflow - maybe someone here might know the answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27663853/how-to-make-the-contextual-actionmode-bar-overlay-the-appcompat-v7-toolbar-but-n Jan 02 08:22:26 hello monkeyisl Jan 02 08:22:46 tl;dr How can I make the ActionMode bar overlay the appcompat-v7 Toolbar, but not the navigation drawer? Jan 02 08:22:55 Sculptor : are you the pro that i've known? ?? Jan 02 08:24:41 from efnet? Jan 02 08:24:55 Y Jan 02 08:25:18 #electronics?

Jan 02 08:26:55 Sculptor : i was busy with stuff. Jan 02 08:27:19 that's good Jan 02 08:40:47 I said good day sir! Jan 02 08:45:06 There is no team in Axe! Jan 02 08:50:16 Darklust, depends did you urinate blood, or sneeze blood? Jan 02 08:52:08 we're not going to discuss that in here Jan 02 08:55:42 i see no rule preventing the discussion of urinating blood... Jan 02 08:56:02 the rule of discussing a specific topic is the same rule that prevents the discussion of any other topic Jan 02 08:56:11 go to #android-offtopic and speak about piss there Jan 02 08:56:28 but if its blood is technically piss... Jan 02 08:56:32 is it* Jan 02 08:56:40 what? Jan 02 08:59:52 well if what your saying true your not allowed to talk about how anyones day is Jan 02 09:00:01 is true ughh Jan 02 09:30:15 anyone can help me get genymotion to work on my pc Jan 02 09:36:06 Is there any way to use vim actions in Android Studio? I'm really lost without them :/ Jan 02 09:36:55 duncannz: have you tried https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/164 ? Jan 02 09:37:06 duncannz: there's something called IdeaVim, not sure if it works with AS Jan 02 09:37:24 thanks JesusFreke Jan 02 09:59:55 Hi Jan 02 10:00:05 I have a live app on Google Play Jan 02 10:00:17 Is it possible to delete it from all devices? Jan 02 10:01:42 delete it? Jan 02 10:01:50 yeah Jan 02 10:02:01 delete it on the users' devices? Jan 02 10:02:07 yeah Jan 02 10:02:13 of course not Jan 02 10:02:24 :( Jan 02 10:02:32 I think Google have that ability... but you'd have to have a *really* good reason to get them to use it Jan 02 10:02:35 you cannot even delete it on the console, you can only unpublish it Jan 02 10:02:44 like a DMCA notice from a big company, say Jan 02 10:02:59 Leeds Jan 02 10:03:05 Malek Jan 02 10:03:10 I have a good reason Jan 02 10:03:16 haha Jan 02 10:03:20 the suspenmse is killing me Jan 02 10:03:22 It comes illegal in my country Jan 02 10:03:30 is it your application Jan 02 10:03:36 so is this keyboard Jan 02 10:03:38 Is that a good reason? Jan 02 10:03:44 if you mention illegal, it might get you further Jan 02 10:03:51 yeah, it's probably a good start Jan 02 10:04:25 MalekAlrwily_, asphalt 8? Jan 02 10:04:28 Odaym: How? Jan 02 10:04:40 Sculptor: no Jan 02 10:04:44 this is Saudi Arabia, presumably... Jan 02 10:04:51 can women play asphalt 8 in saudi arabia Jan 02 10:05:01 I dont know what Leeds is referring to, but if there is such a process, mentioning the law and something illegal will help you convince them how it shouldnt be on the store anymore Jan 02 10:05:26 why dont you just push an update with nothing in it :P Jan 02 10:05:36 the next problem would be getting the attention of someone at Google who could help... Jan 02 10:05:40 morph it back to a blank screen, everyone will uninstall it Jan 02 10:05:41 maybe it's not his app, Odaym Jan 02 10:05:56 he said it is Jan 02 10:06:00 oh ok Jan 02 10:06:01 Sculptor: games not illegal here Jan 02 10:06:19 driving games Jan 02 10:06:21 for women? Jan 02 10:06:23 Odaym: not everyone will necessarily update Jan 02 10:06:32 true Jan 02 10:06:48 what's the app do, brah? Jan 02 10:07:07 if this is a situation where the author is at risk of breaking the law and wants to remove it... seems like something Google should help with, actually Jan 02 10:07:13 unfortunately, it doesn't mean they will Jan 02 10:07:20 Sculptor: women can play games, FYI Jan 02 10:07:31 oh wow Jan 02 10:07:31 wow that game is 1.5 gigz Jan 02 10:07:36 lucky them Jan 02 10:07:41 they are given a lot of freedom it seems Jan 02 10:07:47 games....even car games..... Jan 02 10:07:47 Leeds: Thank you, you helped me a lot Jan 02 10:07:58 next thing they'll be playing angry birds! Jan 02 10:08:03 you gotta get that stuff under control! Jan 02 10:09:19 * Odaym mutters Jan 02 10:11:10 so Microsoft is making a new browser Jan 02 10:12:03 well, kinda Jan 02 10:12:22 they outta make a new OS Jan 02 10:12:27 haha Jan 02 10:28:53 Happy new yeaar Jan 02 10:31:03 old news Jan 02 10:58:00 hi, I would like to use this (https://github.com/amlcurran/ShowcaseView/tree/legacy) library; but i cannot get it to work in android-studio. someone please help. Jan 02 11:01:10 why do you need the legacy branch Jan 02 11:01:42 Odaym, Because I cannot find sufficient documentation of the main branch. Jan 02 11:01:49 I told that guy in one of the issues that his library was one of the worst that I've used Jan 02 11:02:17 Odaym, do you suggest/insist on using the master branch? Jan 02 11:02:20 I've changed most of that library to do things that it should offer out of the box Jan 02 11:02:39 I couldn't even import it and get it to run as a library, I took the classes as is and copied them into my project Jan 02 11:02:54 I just want to implement an Overlay animation in my application :( Jan 02 11:03:12 Odaym: yeah i was going to do the same thing right now -_- very frustrated. Jan 02 11:03:19 You couldn't add a Gradle dependency? O.o Jan 02 11:03:41 I did that; I got all the classes, all the values from the styles.xml, dimens.xml, the drawables, the works Jan 02 11:04:09 if you import it as a library you are at the mercy of what he is offering, which is basically all of what is not needed and none of what is needed Jan 02 11:04:17 Mavrik, its not that; I tried (almost) everything; I somehow cannot reference the library in my project. Jan 02 11:04:27 so I got the source and added support for custom dimensions for the two radiuses that make up the focus circle Jan 02 11:04:46 plus ton of other things, but Im not going to push them to him Jan 02 11:04:53 O.o Jan 02 11:04:57 Odaym, Ok i'll try doing it your way. Jan 02 11:04:57 Why? Jan 02 11:05:06 cause he did a half-assed job Jan 02 11:05:14 I mean, except for being an asshole... why wouldn't you contribute back to the project you use? Jan 02 11:05:25 When someone did most of the job for you? Jan 02 11:06:16 if I werent to go about the code and change it to work for me, it wouldn't have worked Jan 02 11:07:05 it doesnt make any sense, but Im very frustrated with it Jan 02 11:07:26 like that drag listview that Google dev bytes has, from Olshansky Jan 02 11:07:41 its so crap that I had to basically write another one, before I discovered dragsort-listview Jan 02 11:07:55 Odaym: i completely agree on the halfass view comment; I just did it your way (use the java sources, as is) and I am actually able to do something! Jan 02 11:08:34 what's worse is that he is under the impression that YouTube and other apps use his library Jan 02 11:08:44 because the output of both looks similar Jan 02 11:10:36 Oh the entitlement. Jan 02 11:10:41 lol Jan 02 11:10:45 Im a user god damn it Jan 02 11:10:56 I demand the best Jan 02 11:11:39 I have to shift into programmer when I want to use his library out of the box, I am no longer a satisified user Jan 02 11:15:20 Then don't use it Jan 02 11:16:12 this is all without the fact that I dont consider my code to be something anyone would accept to place online and would only generate more issues Jan 02 11:17:06 Hey all! Quick question: how can I make the ActionMode bar overlay the appcompat-v7 Toolbar, but not the navigation drawer? Jan 02 11:17:33 Not all libraries cater to your specific needs.. I've turned down many requests because I thought they were stupid, or I just didn't want to support it Jan 02 11:40:52 (Im new to Android development) I'm trying to use a Asynchttpclient get request to populate a ListView. I'm getting the json data, and then processing it in JsonHttpResponseHandler.onSuccess(), how do I tell my activity to update the Listview? Jan 02 11:45:37 untrothy: somethingsomething callback? Jan 02 11:49:40 veryfatcat, I really new to all this. Have any link on where and how I should be using a callback? Jan 02 11:50:42 anyone who knows gradle and ideas on this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27741366/usage-of-provided-sub-projects-with-android-gradle Jan 02 11:50:59 untrothy: you probably have adapter. do adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() Jan 02 11:54:09 Ashiren, non-static method notifyDataSetChanged() cannot be referenced from a static context... Jan 02 11:54:39 untrothy: you can easily solve that static context problem; keep at it. :) Jan 02 11:55:29 eeyup Jan 02 11:58:50 Ashiren, I was trying to notifyDataSetChanged() on my Adapter instance in my activity but I don't know how to call it AFTER the asynchttp request has finished. (That should fix the static context problem) Jan 02 12:01:58 hi Jan 02 12:02:28 how i can solve this error in Android studio: Error:Library projects cannot set applicationId. applicationId is set to 'com.atermenji.android.iconicdroid' in default config. ? Jan 02 12:02:56 Um, I think the error is pretty clear. Jan 02 12:03:02 i remove this line Jan 02 12:03:04 Libraries can't have applicationId in build.gradle. Jan 02 12:03:16 hmmm Jan 02 12:03:41 i will remove from all libraries, thanks Jan 02 12:05:52 t0th_-_: previously any applicationId in a library project was ignored. Android Studio 1.+ (or maybe the 0.9 release beforehand) make it an error. Jan 02 12:06:13 yes, thanks str4d :) Jan 02 13:00:30 :D Jan 02 13:00:41 Hi all.

Jan 02 13:57:17 hi Jan 02 13:57:41 Hello guys Jan 02 13:58:23 I have 24x24 drawable and I would like to put it inside 48x48, but I would like this image to be aligned to right Jan 02 13:59:18 48x48 is mdpi I thik Jan 02 13:59:33 think* Jan 02 14:00:49 problem is I need smaller drawable inside bigger ImageButton Jan 02 14:01:04 and this drawable need to be right aligned Jan 02 14:03:36 I got a recycler view that's supposed to be populated by a list of a simple java object. However, the list never seems to be populated. code is here https://gist.github.com/rymate1234/bc08c36b956ec4652284. I've already checked that the list of java objects gets populated with values from the json, and it does. As far as I can tell though the methods in the Jan 02 14:03:37 adapter that populate the recycler view don't actually get called. Any help is appreciated! :) Jan 02 14:07:53 Is it possible to declare which activity starts as first/main for which android version ? Jan 02 14:31:22 I've a listview that presents a hierachal view to the user. If they push back btn, the listview is cleared and stepss up the tree. I had to intercept onscroll and onscrollchanged to prevent the listview being modified if the user hit the back button while scrolling. This works ok, but is there a way I can force the listview to stop scrolling from a keydown event? Jan 02 14:32:36 how can i use ProGuard on APK app which i dont have the source code of it ? Jan 02 14:34:24 hi, i create a directory values-v21 in res in android studio, but the directory is not showed, can help me? Jan 02 14:39:05 hi, why in styles.xml android:Theme.Material cannot be resovled.. Jan 02 14:44:11 any? Jan 02 14:51:13 I have 2 cases where I'm doing listview.getChildAt(), one of which always returns null and the other works just fine even before setting up the list's adapter Jan 02 14:51:30 how is this possible, both should not work and return null if the call is made before adapter is set Jan 02 14:54:31 ok they both fail, great Jan 02 14:54:50 the case where it wasnt failing had a case where it would naturally occur after the listview is populated Jan 02 14:55:14 so I did see this coming and I placed the call to childAt inside onPostCreate() Jan 02 15:01:16 Anyone able to help with my dilemma ? Jan 02 15:09:04 when I dynamically add rows to a tablelayout, where the rows have three columns each, the table seems to think all the columns are actually just the first column Jan 02 15:11:28 so the top row (header) has a really big first column, all the others pushed to the right, and each subsequent row has all three views stuffed into the first column... Jan 02 15:20:43 Question, Android uses typical init for the init system? Jan 02 15:23:16 no. Jan 02 15:24:15 oh what does it use than i guess i'm thinking typical linux Jan 02 15:27:41 it uses its own Jan 02 15:33:53 how i can change the color of drawer icon? Jan 02 15:38:12 I want to add progress bar and make it visible only for a specific event. Is it styles issue ? Jan 02 15:38:35 please house, how can i handle retrofit callback object... i'm not recieving full object parameters Jan 02 15:49:09 hi folks - i’m trying to be smart and SOLID about my web calls, but i’m coming over from iOS so probably not keeping best practices… i have an activity that when a button is pressed makes a web call, the call itself is handled within the manager and upon success i want the class to be able to start a new activity…. but i’m not sure this is a good way to do it: http://pastebin.com/TMuZbHWQ Jan 02 15:50:51 the style is sort of similar to block based calls in iOS/obj-c. but in the ‘success’ part of the code, i can’t say “Intent myintent = new Intent(this” because i am no longer within my activity, i’m encapsulated in one of the overrided methods from my custom interface… is this completely the wrong way to do things? getBaseContext() instead of ‘this’ in the constructor works but seems hacky. Jan 02 15:51:37 dbs_bruv, you chould really read at least a bit about basics of java Jan 02 15:51:50 YourActivityClass.this will give you the right this pointer you need Jan 02 15:53:17 well i studied it in college - it wouldn’t be v fresh in my mind though. :) Jan 02 15:54:07 that won’t work btw - the constructor needs (Context, class) Jan 02 15:54:24 And? Jan 02 15:54:27 also i’m looking for a specific instance of a class. Jan 02 15:54:58 I mean, you didn't really give enough code for us to give you more concrete example. Jan 02 15:55:16 You're creating an anonymous class and you need the instance of the current activity for animations to work well Jan 02 15:55:54 ok sorry. Jan 02 15:57:36 I got a recycler view that's supposed to be populated by a list of a simple java object. However, the list never seems to be populated. code is here https://gist.github.com/rymate1234/bc08c36b956ec4652284. I've already checked that the list of java objects gets populated with values from the json, and it does. Jan 02 16:00:11 Mavrik: I never understood how this can work it seems like "this" is static but it obviously can't be. Jan 02 16:00:20 if I'm inflating a ViewGroup subclass (e.g. TableRow) and I want to inflate it's layout from xml, I just call inflate(getContext(), R.layout.my_layout, this) in my custom init, right? Jan 02 16:00:53 marrrk, it isn't, it's automatically populated by compiler/VM to point to the current object instance Jan 02 16:01:13 if my layout has as the root element, it should just become the root of the CustomTableRow instance? Jan 02 16:01:27 marrrk, and note that non-static internal classes actually have a hidden "parent" reference that points to the object they're contained in Jan 02 16:02:56 that might be a little bit too much buzzwords -_- Jan 02 16:04:03 I see Jan 02 16:04:30 Interesting choice of syntax then. Jan 02 16:06:01 Hello everybody o/ Jan 02 16:06:18 In an app I'm making, I have to read a *BIG* JSON Jan 02 16:06:40 I have the following method which reads n characters from the inputstream Jan 02 16:07:02 http://pastebin.com/GGhk4LxY Jan 02 16:07:36 The problem is when I try to read the following JSON, it doesn't work (even if I set 10000 as len) Jan 02 16:07:46 http://binouze.fabrigli.fr/bieres.json Jan 02 16:08:29 I think a problem happens once I'm using the buffer Jan 02 16:09:40 Very nice mix of english and french Jan 02 16:09:58 check the return of your read for the actual bytes read Jan 02 16:10:44 marrrk, Hum? Jan 02 16:10:58 I'm actually coding using English but my data are in French Jan 02 16:11:28 "buveur" is one key and "name" another one Jan 02 16:11:58 marrrk, Oh Jan 02 16:12:15 marrrk, The JSON isn't mine Jan 02 16:12:15 Encrypt: Have you considered using a library for your JSON needs? Jan 02 16:12:15 That's the REST API my teacher made Jan 02 16:12:47 But you're right, it's really confusing to mix english and french Jan 02 16:12:54 marrrk, I'm using JSONObjetcs and JSONArrays to parse that Jan 02 16:13:30 ew, that's a huge json Jan 02 16:13:37 Encrypt, first of all, if you can, look at Retrofit Jan 02 16:14:00 Encrypt, other than that, use Jackson or Gson JSON libraries which have "stream" based parsing Jan 02 16:14:04 Mavrik, Yes, unfortunately :/ Jan 02 16:14:18 The teacher provides this JSON, another showing the categories Jan 02 16:14:28 But we haven't any other one Jan 02 16:14:44 So, I have to use this JSON to fill an expandable listview Jan 02 16:14:46 Is this an exercise? Jan 02 16:14:49 Yes Jan 02 16:14:52 About what? Jan 02 16:15:18 Because if you're supposed to write your own parser using a library would obviously be a bad idea. Jan 02 16:15:29 An academic work (which will be our semester mark on this lesson) Jan 02 16:16:02 marrrk, The work is to create an Android App using his REST API Jan 02 16:16:17 That's everything? Jan 02 16:16:19 No other constraints? Jan 02 16:16:32 It's a freestyle work :D Jan 02 16:16:44 We have to use 5 of the design patterns we saw in class Jan 02 16:16:51 Use his REST API Jan 02 16:16:57 And do a nice UI Jan 02 16:17:06 These are the only constraints we have Jan 02 16:17:37 That's a good assignment actually :) Jan 02 16:17:46 Anyway, check out Retrofit :) Jan 02 16:18:20 I don't like the part about the design patterns. Jan 02 16:18:48 Encrypt: I use this for json: http://argonaut.io Jan 02 16:19:27 Would you like to have a look at the app... Jan 02 16:19:28 https://github.com/Zencrypter/App_mobile/ Jan 02 16:19:36 :] Jan 02 16:19:41 marrrk, Thanks, I'll have a look :) Jan 02 16:20:07 whatitis, I did a System.out.println to see what the buffer returns actually Jan 02 16:20:15
