**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Feb 07 02:59:59 2015 Feb 07 03:00:12 does an sqlite endTransaction() close or otherwise lose the data a cursor is carrying? Feb 07 03:00:35 basically, should i extract that data before running endTransaction or can i do it afterwards? Feb 07 03:01:19 I wouldn't think it would lose the data. though if it's larger than the window size, it's possible it may return invalid data if you try to use it later... not entirely sure how that'll work. Feb 07 03:01:36 (if your transaction / other stuff changes the db before you load the next window, that is) Feb 07 03:02:04 ok Feb 07 03:02:04 "How do you develop for Android without becoming angry?" haha Feb 07 03:02:06 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ never tried. I'll have to do that some time though. Feb 07 03:02:12 g00s: lol Feb 07 03:03:12 <_genuser_> JakeWharton: so I'm doing .fit().centerCrop().into(mView); this would resize teh bitmap to avaialble area I understand that part. Feb 07 03:03:58 <_genuser_> JakeWharton: question is: would it also create a very small bitmap in memory. would it help if my RequestHandler actually created teh bitmap that was 50x100 instead of passing back an InputStream and letting picasso resize it? Feb 07 03:04:28 It would not help. Let Picasso do it. Feb 07 03:04:45 <_genuser_> so I should focus on caching then? Feb 07 03:05:10 Basically a web browser with an address bar and no window to view anything Feb 07 03:05:17 Any help is much appreciated! Feb 07 03:05:21 I mean, if you know that's the size and you have a specific way of making those Bitmaps efficiently then go for it, but Picasso is going to do all the inSampleSize calculation and serialized Bitmap resizing automatically. Feb 07 03:05:30 <_genuser_> I'm retrieving JPEG bytestream from db in RequestHandler and returning new Result(new ByteArrayInputStream(jpeg_data), LoadFrom.DISK); and then calling .fit().centerCrop() on the other end Feb 07 03:05:44 That should be fine. Feb 07 03:05:59 And efficient Feb 07 03:06:21 Although if you have the bytes already... Feb 07 03:06:28 <_genuser_> ok, that's perfect then. I'll focus on implementing the DiskLruCache lib then. because the only other place I'll get speed is cutting out DB dips Feb 07 03:06:37 Yes. Feb 07 03:06:44 Then the data can be streamed from disk Feb 07 03:06:52 Thus avoiding the byte[] Feb 07 03:07:53 <_genuser_> LoadedFrom.DISK is misused here by me. I read it off a webservice which returned it from a DB in a convoluted format. I then parsed out the byte[]. Feb 07 03:10:34 Got a quick question guys Feb 07 03:10:54 I was looking at google material design and saw a section on the SnackBar, but there was no documentation for it Feb 07 03:11:11 drose379: isnt the spec the documentation? Feb 07 03:11:12 lol Feb 07 03:11:23 the spec? Feb 07 03:11:29 google design spec Feb 07 03:11:42 Yeah but theres no code documentation Feb 07 03:11:55 thats because there is no code Feb 07 03:12:08 So how does one go about implementing it? Feb 07 03:12:17 make a android view and animate it Feb 07 03:12:18 lol Feb 07 03:12:37 So they want you to design it yourself Feb 07 03:12:51 <_genuser_> drose379: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25633695/is-there-code-for-snackbars-in-android-l-or-are-we-expected-to-implement-them-ou Feb 07 03:12:53 no, they designed it Feb 07 03:13:03 hi,all , why i cann't connect hidden ssid wifi using android 4.0.3 system Feb 07 03:13:26 If they design it, how do i implement it without them giving me some code documentation Napalm Feb 07 03:13:46 this is normally how programming works Feb 07 03:13:55 someone designes something, the developer builds it Feb 07 03:13:56 lol Feb 07 03:14:09 the spec is there Feb 07 03:14:09 So bascially SnackBar is just an idea Feb 07 03:14:16 if you design it... they will code... Feb 07 03:14:18 Material Design is an idea Feb 07 03:14:19 lol Feb 07 03:14:22 <_genuser_> think of as UI guidelines and ideas Feb 07 03:14:27 thats what a "design" is Feb 07 03:14:37 Well I was thinking of it as something like Toast\ Feb 07 03:14:43 But I guess its not like that Feb 07 03:14:44 correct Feb 07 03:14:54 you could even implement it with the Toast class Feb 07 03:14:57 <_genuser_> they're saying we think this is cool. and since you dumbasses have barely learnt Nav Drawers and all that, we'll put something new out there to keep you on them toes. Feb 07 03:16:19 Ok, I also found a Library on github that a guy createed Feb 07 03:16:28 https://github.com/nispok/snackbar Feb 07 03:16:38 So I could also use that, but do you reccomend building my own? Feb 07 03:16:53 <_genuser_> yeah the SO link had the same lib, I think. Feb 07 03:17:04 Yeah it did Feb 07 03:17:06 <_genuser_> you can actually read thru the code in the library to see they implemented it. Feb 07 03:17:22 <_genuser_> might give you a better ideas on "design" vs. "implementation" and how they're separated. Feb 07 03:17:35 When I add compile nipsok:snackbar 2.7.5 Feb 07 03:17:49 Where is that coming from? Somewhere online? Feb 07 03:17:56 the repo Feb 07 03:18:04 <_genuser_> are those gradle instructions? Feb 07 03:18:09 jcenter or maven.. whatever you setup in your gradle config Feb 07 03:18:35 The repo is hosted online right? Feb 07 03:18:45 drose379, of course Feb 07 03:18:48 where else would it be Feb 07 03:18:51 on your computer? Feb 07 03:18:53 No idea Feb 07 03:18:55 <_genuser_> ok, I see. sorry I'm still using eclipse. I just download the jars and import them using build path dialog. Feb 07 03:19:19 <_genuser_> drose379: are you using AS or eclipse? Feb 07 03:19:26 AS Feb 07 03:19:44 I just add it to dependencies in build.gradel Feb 07 03:19:46 gradle Feb 07 03:19:47 * Feb 07 03:20:12 <_genuser_> I see. then I'm not going to have a clue. I haven't moved to AS fulltime yet. I just installed it and left it alone. Feb 07 03:20:15 hmm, just looking at that code.. i might have done a few things more simply.. but in general its not bad Feb 07 03:20:50 Would it be a good learning experience to build it myself? Feb 07 03:21:03 <_genuser_> Napalm: lol after you comment I thought let me go wth a snackbar really is. Feb 07 03:21:27 _genuser_: i dont follow what you mean Feb 07 03:22:01 <_genuser_> Napalm: I didn't even know what it is, until he asked and you mentioned that the code wasn't all that great. so I went back to material design website to see what it's description is. Feb 07 03:22:15 <_genuser_> *its Feb 07 03:23:05 Is there a way to have a master listview filled with nested listviews Feb 07 03:23:13 And the nested listviews are not scrollable Feb 07 03:23:17 Only the master onei s Feb 07 03:23:19 <_genuser_> I like the idea of it. sort of a cleaner toast with action buttons/links on it. Feb 07 03:23:20 one is Feb 07 03:23:55 drose379: not with ListView.. just wont work. you can however do it with RecyclerView Feb 07 03:23:55 <_genuser_> drose379: like the preferences screen type deal? Feb 07 03:24:22 Dont know Feb 07 03:24:31 _genuser_ Feb 07 03:24:33 <_genuser_> Napalm: you could hack it so the top level getView just returns stacked TextViews (for example) in a LinearLayout. Feb 07 03:24:52 <_genuser_> but sounds like pointless work if there's a better way Feb 07 03:25:10 _genuser_: he asked specifically a listview Feb 07 03:25:19 _genuser_: plus what you suggest doesnt recycle the views Feb 07 03:25:20 <_genuser_> Napalm: true true. Feb 07 03:25:44 <_genuser_> n00b suggestions are going to be... less efficient. :D Feb 07 03:26:38 _genuser_ you a noob? Feb 07 03:26:43 <_genuser_> drose379: sure. Feb 07 03:26:48 How new? Feb 07 03:27:39 <_genuser_> drose379: I don't do android fulltime. I have done 3 complete apps. and working on my 4ths. trying to see where I can out friends for smalltime contracting work. Feb 07 03:27:53 <_genuser_> *help out friends... Feb 07 03:28:03 What you working on now? Feb 07 03:28:41 <_genuser_> taking picture of a location, posting them back to db. downloading them from db (or local) as a single package, parsing them out and displaying them in a gridview. Feb 07 03:29:00 Sweet Feb 07 03:29:10 <_genuser_> my personal one was bitcoin pool stat displayer. I actually published that app in the app store. Feb 07 03:29:24 Howd it do? Feb 07 03:29:28 <_genuser_> but instead of marketing it to fellow miners, I just lost interest in mining and it's just siting there. Feb 07 03:29:37 Argh Feb 07 03:29:38 <_genuser_> it has all 5 stars the last time I checked. Feb 07 03:30:00 hey guys Feb 07 03:31:03 _genuser_ nice job Feb 07 03:31:09 <_genuser_> :) Feb 07 03:31:12 I'm trying to turn a mysql database selection into a listview with the following properties: a text value, an image that is static to all of the items, an integer value, another static image, and another integer value Feb 07 03:31:28 anyone want to point me in the right direction for what to do? I think I need an arrayadapter Feb 07 03:31:42 TheKarlBrown you need to extend ArrayAdapter Feb 07 03:31:52 is that the only way Feb 07 03:32:05 I think so, where are you stuck? Feb 07 03:32:06 <_genuser_> TheKarlBrown: you're retrieving a recordset where each row has text|image|int|image|int ? Feb 07 03:32:17 Hey guys, I haven't coded anything for Android in over a year and want to get back into it, I was wondering if anyone has any reccomendations for a game library to learn? or if I should try making games without a third party library? Feb 07 03:32:19 No, the recordset has text, int, int Feb 07 03:32:30 <_genuser_> TheKarlBrown: and for each you need a listview item? Feb 07 03:32:30 well it will have other stuff also but for the view I only need the text, int int Feb 07 03:32:35 yessum Feb 07 03:33:03 <_genuser_> TheKarlBrown: BaseAdapter. you'll extend it and for each row you'll return a listview item. Feb 07 03:33:05 it will be "Name," image from drawable, int rendered as text, image from drawable, int rendered as text Feb 07 03:33:56 <_genuser_> TheKarlBrown: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidListView/article.html Feb 07 03:34:13 <_genuser_> TheKarlBrown: that guy does a decent job. the articles are a bit long. but you'll really understand it by the time you're done. Feb 07 03:37:01 Also is android studio recommended over eclipse now? Or is it still personal preference? Feb 07 03:37:22 <_genuser_> it's the only thing supported after api 18. Feb 07 03:37:39 <_genuser_> in eclipse you can't go higher than 18. the adt plugin will cry and moan. Feb 07 03:38:29 Ah okay thank you! Last time I coded for android, android studio was still a horribly buggy and barely functional piece of software lol Feb 07 03:38:53 <_genuser_> still using eclipse here. but AS has good feedback as of late. Feb 07 03:39:41 Meh. On Day 1 from forking IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio was a superior alternative to Eclipse Feb 07 03:40:19 Well it was bad on Linux at least, not sure how well it worked on other platforms Feb 07 03:40:38 <_genuser_> I'm only using eclipse because my project was already started. and migrating it was work. Feb 07 03:40:47 Is it better to make like 6 HTTP requests and get the data all sorted out for me, or make 1 HTTP request and sort out the data in the java Feb 07 03:40:48 <_genuser_> I do have AS installed and working for new projects. Feb 07 03:40:57 Im guessing its better to just make one request Feb 07 03:41:32 <_genuser_> drose379: depends on how much work it is to sort the data. Feb 07 03:41:42 Not much Feb 07 03:42:06 <_genuser_> if it's not cpu intensive and the device won't be the bottleneck, get it one shot and sort it out. Feb 07 03:42:29 Got it, thanks Feb 07 03:43:17 drose379 nispok snackbar has worked well for me. one of the few libs i use Feb 07 03:43:24 _genuser_, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13635319/how-allow-a-specific-character-in-android-numerical-keyboard Feb 07 03:43:52 Thanks g00s Feb 07 03:44:05 _genuser_, accepted answer but it dont work for me when i used an external keyboard Feb 07 03:46:16 <_genuser_> kuldeepdhaka: not even with a button adding it after the digits? Feb 07 03:46:39 _genuser_, cant add a button. Feb 07 03:46:45 they want to make money, groxx Feb 07 03:46:48 that's why Feb 07 03:46:56 _genuser_, (and not tried with a button) Feb 07 03:47:15 <_genuser_> so you're allowing a full keyboard with the digits property? Feb 07 03:47:22 weird Feb 07 03:47:24 random discon Feb 07 03:48:07 eclipse is faster than AS, matters on slow hardware Feb 07 03:49:34 yeah, its pretty obvious on slow hardware Feb 07 03:49:40 _genuser_, "so you're allowing a full keyboard with the digits property?" ? Feb 07 03:49:50 myke: Been my experience as well, I have reluctantly switched to AS since it's the new standard Feb 07 03:51:34 but man, some of the way it works looks so slow and awkward compared to eclipse Feb 07 03:53:59 deuteros__: if you turn off inspections (there's a thing in the bottom right corner), is it a nicer experience? Feb 07 03:54:27 groxx: It's not just about slowness (it's markedly slower than Eclipse but not a problem overall Feb 07 03:54:46 more about the silly things such as no incremental compilation, having to sync build.gradle, manually, ... Feb 07 03:54:52 lot of things I took for granted with eclipse Feb 07 03:54:58 deuteros__: AS is definitely slower, but I'm on a beefy machine. hard to test things, but I'd be curious if anything works so I can suggest it. Feb 07 03:55:06 I mean pressing a key to compile, that's so 2000s Feb 07 03:55:10 lol Feb 07 03:55:30 I press meta-f9 way too many times during the day Feb 07 03:55:35 ikr? and it burns through my battery faster than any game Feb 07 03:56:45 I prefer it in general, but it's a bit surprising how power-hungry it is. Feb 07 03:56:59 I blame Swing Feb 07 03:57:30 <_genuser_> yeah, eclipse is as light as notepad vs. AS on my computer. then again 100+ chrome tabs will make anything run slow. Feb 07 03:57:37 <_genuser_> it's all the paging to disk that's slowing things down. Feb 07 03:58:33 The fact that control n means different things all the time drives me nuts too Feb 07 03:59:23 <_genuser_> eclipse is too annoying in not allowing F3 for search next. as opposed to aaaaaaaaaaall the other windows apps Feb 07 04:00:05 that doesn't bother me as much as "next occurrence" (ctrl-.) only navigates in the same buffer and not to the next file Feb 07 04:00:39 <_genuser_> guess it's what we get used to that makes it harder when it's not supported. Feb 07 04:04:03 at least there's a half-way decent vim plugin. Feb 07 04:05:20 <_genuser_> onto intentservice! Feb 07 04:09:07 <_genuser_> now, should i just have one or multiple... that's the design question. Feb 07 04:09:10 <_genuser_> :) Feb 07 04:11:01 Don't use a vim/eclipse plug-in when you use an IDE, learn the darn thing Feb 07 04:11:30 Hey guys, I'm having a hell of a time doing a login/registration activity for my app. I'm frustrated, which isn't helping things. How bad is it if I have one call to my RESTful backend to check if the user exists, and then one to create a User object from data returned from a call? Feb 07 04:11:40 ok so I am modifying baseadapter by extending it, and I am wondering how I should bring data to it from a mysql database. I will be using a mysql database to govern submissions added from my application, and it will have to send the data back to the server. ideally it doesn't send the entire database Feb 07 04:11:50 t0astt: Seems perfectly normal, what's the problem? Feb 07 04:12:18 groxx deuteros__ i'm still using a Core 2 Duo - the difference is amazing Feb 07 04:12:18 deuteros__: I think I'm just being a performance nazi or trying to do my app "the right way". And I'm wracking my brain trying to do that, and it's frustrating me. Feb 07 04:12:41 should I create a data container with my specific mysql results to contain all my information (a few text fields, integers,) or should I convert it all to an arraylist with multiple fields? Feb 07 04:12:43 t0astt: I don't see any way to check for duplication than a server call Feb 07 04:12:50 O Feb 07 04:13:02 Also I can't help but feel like I'm going the wrong route by using the loopj Async HTTP library Feb 07 04:13:22 ,I'm trying to do it the most efficient way possible. keep in mind the user will be filtering these results by scanning through the container, or altered containers being pushed fromt he server Feb 07 04:13:27 not familiar with this specific library but as long as it's async, sounds like a reasonable choice Feb 07 04:13:31 But OkHTTP seems more complicated, and when I had Retrofit recommended to me, it went way over my head. So that also frustrated me more Feb 07 04:15:32 t0astt: fwiw I've used loopj pretty heavily. it works, but there are a bunch of surprising edge cases, and I'm definitely not a fan. Feb 07 04:15:54 it does "simple" pretty well, but it's annoying :/ Feb 07 04:20:37 TacticalJoke when you retried the unit testing stuff in AS, you re-installed from scratch right ? Feb 07 04:21:40 Yeah. It was a Windows-specific bug. Feb 07 04:22:39 https://android-review.googlesource.com/129603 Feb 07 04:24:07 The issue was that the mockable android.jar was appearing in the class path ahead of the JUnit stuff. Feb 07 04:24:55 (And that JAR has an "empty" JUnit implementation inside. Feb 07 04:24:59 ) Feb 07 04:25:48 t0astt: there's a bunch of REST implementations for android Feb 07 04:36:25 "Spaceballs: The Search for More Money," awesome :D Feb 07 04:40:41 This reddit app I use is so dumb. Regularly fills my hard drive with pointless caching. Keep getting "disk capacity is too low -- system processes may fail" message. Feb 07 04:41:02 Gee, thanks for giving me a 1GB cache of old reddit comments. Feb 07 04:41:19 lol Feb 07 04:41:32 you might REALLY want to go back and re-read them. relive the memories. Feb 07 04:41:41 :D Feb 07 04:49:20 http://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/2v0yxz/publishing_your_first_app_the_license_of_the/ Feb 07 04:49:27 "But if i buy the song on iTunes i don't get the license of it?" Feb 07 04:53:01 Levite yeah, thats /r/androiddev for ya :) Feb 07 04:54:32 <_genuser_> dagnabit, you can't send binary data via intents. Feb 07 04:54:58 not too well. save to disk. Feb 07 04:55:45 <_genuser_> yeah, it's lot of processing and saving to disk will take even longer. Feb 07 04:56:01 <_genuser_> guess, I'll just make the whole thing available as static var from the caller. Feb 07 04:56:13 <_genuser_> but not sure who that will scale Feb 07 04:56:26 Don’t use statics to pass things around Feb 07 04:57:19 <_genuser_> I'm doing quite a bit of disk i/o. not wanting to save binary blobs to disk for passing to IntentService. Feb 07 04:57:48 <_genuser_> I might make an Application wide Queue where I add "work" that need to be done. and just trigger the service with the item id or something Feb 07 04:58:48 _genuser_ thats what AsyncQueryService does Feb 07 04:59:46 <_genuser_> g00s: so don't use IntentService but rather use AsyncQueryService? Feb 07 05:00:19 i'm just saying, thats the technique used there (queue) Feb 07 05:00:46 since putting onto the queue starts the service, it shouldn't be lost Feb 07 05:01:05 <_genuser_> AsyncQueryHandler is it? Feb 07 05:02:59 _genuser_ yeah, its in Calendar app i think Feb 07 05:03:21 <_genuser_> oh I see that one. So you're saying the Queue idea is pretty alright? Feb 07 05:03:47 should be. since the service rips through the queue and then shuts down Feb 07 05:04:30 <_genuser_> I see. but now I have to subclass application and create a whole other thing. I'm trying to keep this simple but it wants to go nuts. :) Feb 07 05:04:33 i actually took that idea a little further, and made an Rx Scheduler out of it :D Feb 07 05:05:03 why would you subclass Application ? Feb 07 05:05:27 <_genuser_> interesting. I'm sure I could serialize my byte_array into a parcelable and send it via the intent that way. but that's too much work. Feb 07 05:05:43 <_genuser_> oh, subclass application to create an application wide Queue. Feb 07 05:05:58 AsyncQueryService doesn't subclass Application Feb 07 05:06:03 <_genuser_> so multiple activities could put crap on this queue for requesting work. Feb 07 05:06:16 look at the code ;) Feb 07 05:06:16 <_genuser_> AsyncQueryService implements it's own Queue then? I'll have to read thru it a bit more. Feb 07 05:06:30 <_genuser_> yeah, looking at the code will be better. Feb 07 05:06:33 its AsyncQueryService and AsyncQueryHelper i think Feb 07 05:06:50 i'm just pointing it out, as a design pattern / idea Feb 07 05:06:52 <_genuser_> yeah, I"m seeing that in google results. Feb 07 05:07:06 <_genuser_> I'll have to look at it to see how I want to proceed with this. Feb 07 05:07:15 they do extra stuff like have cancelable tasks, delayed execution, etc which you may not need Feb 07 05:07:22 <_genuser_> at least, I didn't get started coding AsyncTask idea. Feb 07 05:07:52 i've never used AsyncTask :D Feb 07 05:07:53 <_genuser_> mine is really not cancelable. I kinda need to really not crap out after the fact. So unless an exception is raised, it must go thru. Feb 07 05:10:02 <_genuser_> *need _it_ to not... Feb 07 05:29:47 :\ anyone know if there's a "get the most-used color in this image" library? Palette isn't quite fitting the bill - the population value returned by it seems to be _exact_ color matches only, not rough matches. So if there's a tiny bit of a gradient on a BG, a small bit of text outweighs it. Feb 07 05:32:12 as an example: http://i.comicchameleon.com/comics/banners/33.jpg <- the most-populous color there is the skin-tone in the nose-area. Feb 07 05:33:27 <_genuser_> ah, crap. you have to call it from an activity. Feb 07 05:33:45 <_genuser_> to call it from an object that doesn't have a reference to an activity, I have to pass around activity references. Feb 07 05:34:27 you need a context, yeah - to start the service Feb 07 05:36:15 <_genuser_> so getApplicationContext() is all it will accept. from my activity I can't pass new Intent(this, intentservice.class); Feb 07 05:39:34 <_genuser_> g00s: alright, at least I was able to run an implementation of if. nice. thanks for all the hints. I'll now try to move the work to it slowly. Feb 07 05:40:11 yw Feb 07 05:47:26 Hellos developers Feb 07 05:47:36 anyone from india Feb 07 05:48:07 I am working on a BLE app and have a issue in that Feb 07 05:48:31 trying to call a new activity but it crashes the app Feb 07 05:48:41 using startactivity method Feb 07 05:48:48 is that right Feb 07 05:48:50 ? Feb 07 05:52:47 Read the stack trace Feb 07 05:54:13 need some help on calling an activity Feb 07 05:54:31 No, you need to read the stack trace Feb 07 05:55:03 ^^ Feb 07 05:55:14 it's in yer log... Feb 07 05:56:41 If anyone is bored/mildly interested, could you take a quick look at my DecisionActivity real quick to make sure I'm doing the asynchronous calls correctly? http://pastebin.com/Pxv7hkyn Feb 07 06:07:30 Has anyone used RetroFit? Feb 07 06:08:03 I'm receving a JSON response and one of the items has a string which is in fact JSON but it first needs to be parsed. Using models how can I achieve such a thing so that I tell it to first parse it? Thank you Feb 07 06:13:43 Has anyone used RetroFit? Feb 07 06:13:45 I'm receving a JSON response and one of the items has a string which is in fact JSON but it first needs to be parsed. Using models how can I achieve such a thing so that I tell it to first parse it? Thank you Feb 07 06:17:05 Would a data type adapter be used for this? Feb 07 06:17:16 dvass: Someone mentioned Retrofit to me earlier, but it looked a little too confusing me so I said screw it. Sorry I can't help you out :P Feb 07 06:17:56 yes, you would use a type adapter if you're using Gson (the default converter) Feb 07 06:21:01 1.1.0-rc2 is available. Feb 07 06:21:23 f2prateek: so I would tell it whenever it sees type User.class to use this adapter Feb 07 06:21:33 to convert the string into JSON, right? Feb 07 06:21:42 Randomly tried it and it worked. lol Feb 07 06:22:02 I don't know what your json or User.class looks like so I can't say for sure Feb 07 06:23:50 sorry. Feb 07 06:24:04 the item 'user' in my JSON is a string that needs to be parsed into JSON Feb 07 06:24:14 so I get my response and for user I want to maek it my UserModel Feb 07 06:24:26 so I'm assuming the adapter needs to be attached to UserModel.class Feb 07 06:24:27 I am under the impression that you cannot use xml android:onclick references while in fragments. is this correct? Feb 07 06:24:39 that there is no way to reference the fragment, not the activity Feb 07 06:24:40 TheKarlBrown_: I believe you can Feb 07 06:24:54 I think they fire in the Activity only. Feb 07 06:25:02 TheKarlBrown_: Moot point anyway, do not use android:onclick. Put those where they belong, in the code Feb 07 06:25:10 ok I was doing that b4 Feb 07 06:25:16 tank yew Feb 07 06:25:56 who wants to see the app I started coding yesterday that lead to the 5 hour chase for properly space toolbar buttons :3 Feb 07 06:28:07 Yay. Unit tests fail now in AS on Windows! (When using 1.1 RC2 of the Gradle plugin.) Feb 07 06:29:57 Though this is weird: it doesn't seem to have mockable-android-21.jar in the runner's class path. Feb 07 06:30:49 Wait, never mind; it does. Feb 07 06:31:22 I've got a blank LinearLayout in XML. When I try to add a java-created LinearLayout to this blank one, using blankLL.addView(JavaCreatedLayoutObject), it says JavaCreatedLayoutObject already has a parent. What am I missing here? Feb 07 06:33:08 The reason it works is that 1.1.0-rc2 removes the 'junit' classes from the mockable android.jar. Feb 07 06:34:59 oops, i gave the layout inflater the parent already Feb 07 06:35:09 Awesome. Finally JVM unit testing in AS. Feb 07 06:35:22 Without horrible hacks or hoop jumping. Feb 07 06:35:48 F*** Android Studio. Google better stop complecating things, just for looks. Feb 07 06:36:14 hi Feb 07 06:36:30 borw3: What are they complicating? Feb 07 06:37:30 I have a webview in my android app which opens a play.google.com link , but it is showing the browser link , i want it to redirect to play app , is there a way ? http://market links are redirected but not play.google.com links Feb 07 06:37:50 Everything, new structure, no more C++ on android dev, Lags like hell. And soon Android developing wont even be possible on 32bit OS's Feb 07 06:38:08 chinu: Start an intent for the play store app? Feb 07 06:38:23 chinu: I forget the details, but it's the shouldOverrideUrlLoading thing. Feb 07 06:39:00 yeah that i am doing to override the market links but is there a way to do that for play.google.com links as well ? or i have to manipulate the link myself with code ? Feb 07 06:39:04 TacticalJoke: now if only it was TestNG and not JUnit, it would be nirvana Feb 07 06:39:26 chinu: As far as I know, the only way to do something like this is to manualy check each URL. Feb 07 06:39:27 I could be wrong. Feb 07 06:39:42 My app keeps crashing on open after I try to add interface to main activity for fragment -> activity communication http://puu.sh/fAbiz/231403efb5.png Feb 07 06:40:20 This is my view pager. I am trying to make a toast to say what position of view pager I'm on to my activity. http://puu.sh/fAbqz/10354b0ed7.png Feb 07 06:40:25 DragonPunch: How are we supposed to help you with a snapshot of your code?!? Feb 07 06:40:30 actually the link is from a refrrel network , will manipulating the link interfere with my affilations ? TacticalJoke Feb 07 06:40:43 i can give you a pastey but its rather long Feb 07 06:40:54 No, what’s the error? Start with that Feb 07 06:40:54 deuteros: Since these are JVM tests, can't you just use TestNG here? Feb 07 06:41:02 TacticalJoke: possibly, haven’t tried yet Feb 07 06:41:11 just sad junit is the default, that’s all :) Feb 07 06:41:11 http://hastebin.com/cezuxehave.java Feb 07 06:41:31 Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of JUnit. Though I wasn't particular impressed by TestNG, to be honest. Feb 07 06:41:51 I guess it's still better than JUnit. Feb 07 06:44:35 anyone know why my app keeps crashing on open after trying to implement interface for fragment -> activity communication? Feb 07 06:44:53 All im trying to do here is have a toast tell me what position my view pager is from the activity. Feb 07 06:45:04 DragonPunch: As long as you don’t show the error you’re having, I doubt you’ll get much help Feb 07 06:45:33 I'm not getting an error in my code. It's just starting and says 'MyProgram has stopped working' Feb 07 06:46:38 http://puu.sh/fAc5r/7489a64d24.png Feb 07 06:46:46 my debug console is empty Feb 07 06:47:07 DragonPunch: then you have a stack trace somewhere, find it Feb 07 06:48:06 a stack trace is? Feb 07 06:48:34 deuteros: i'll leave you with that one Feb 07 06:48:36 ;) Feb 07 06:48:46 night all Feb 07 06:50:24 i found this Feb 07 06:50:25 http://hastebin.com/apuhehajuy.avrasm Feb 07 06:50:56 did not call through to super.onAttach() Feb 07 06:50:58 is my error Feb 07 06:50:58 ok Feb 07 06:51:47 thank u error log Feb 07 06:55:13 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28379498/parsing-nested-json-using-retrofit-for-android Feb 07 06:55:29 If you have any experience with RetroFit I'd be much obliged if you wold take a look Feb 07 06:55:46 Thank you!

For example, I start emulator and logcat is working fine, then I run the app again and it stops. And then I have to reopen my project and it works fine again. I don't change anything. Anybody experienced this behaviour? Feb 07 07:04:28 Thank yew kisk Feb 07 07:04:29 kism Feb 07 07:06:26 JakeWharton: Unit tests working on windows with 1.1.0-rc2. :D Feb 07 07:07:06 Windows* Feb 07 07:09:41 TacticalJoke: excellent Feb 07 07:09:45 Any other changes? Feb 07 07:11:05 Not sure. I paid so much attention to their unit-testing changes that I ignored everything else. Haven't noticed anything yet from using it. Feb 07 07:11:12 dvass: I have retrofit experience Feb 07 07:14:56 <_genuser_> JakeWharton: have you written a library yet that guesses what we want and code the entire application up? :P Feb 07 07:19:41 Apps that lock only one portrait orientation are slightly evil. Feb 07 07:20:33 havent heard anything about square for a while Feb 07 07:20:38 those guys still in business? Feb 07 07:21:11 <_genuser_> my church book sales use square still.... Feb 07 07:21:29 on their website, "The POS software that’s simple, powerful, and free." Feb 07 07:21:39 The piece of shit software that's simple...

Feb 07 07:50:23 I tried to use a customzied view but it freaked out my dataadapter Feb 07 08:13:36 Hello. I am having a (trivial) error https://gist.github.com/vedant1811/cb6d53e32de1b016fef4 involving Object... type parameter Feb 07 08:16:09 ey guys, how do i get translucent status bar like this? Feb 07 08:16:09 http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/imagery.html#imagery-ui-integration Feb 07 08:16:28 been googling for past 30 minutes now, it shouldn't be this hard... Feb 07 08:17:04 and I don't want a drawerlayout, which most of the google answsers are based off Feb 07 08:19:28 I am trying to do lollipop Feb 07 08:21:24 vedu: WHat is the exact error message? Feb 07 08:22:14 TacticalJoke: Its resolved :) there are LatLng classes from different packages Feb 07 08:22:40 Ah, I wondered about that. :) Feb 07 08:23:40 meetoman: Are you talking about the toolbar? Feb 07 08:24:04 Oh, I guess not. Feb 07 08:24:39 i always like reading about programming languages, even if its the "other side" :) http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/02/07/apples-new-swift-programming-language-takes-flight-with-getty-images-american-airlines-linkedin-and-duolingo Feb 07 08:25:40 seems like the reception to Swift pretty positive Feb 07 08:25:53 Yeah, I love learning new programming languages. It's so satisfying seeing the new world view that the language offers. Feb 07 08:27:14 so what does that mean for us android devs not doing swift? well, if its a very productive language its time to bring out bigger guns :D Feb 07 08:27:35 can't have apple guys writing the same functionality in 1/2 the time ;) Feb 07 08:27:54 meetoman: Is this related to your question? http://stackoverflow.com/a/19733218 Feb 07 08:28:34 i thought it was interesting they claimed Swift was inpsired by Rust Feb 07 08:28:36 g00s: Do you envision yourself using Kotlin anytime soon? I can see myself using it within a year. Feb 07 08:28:44 among other languages Feb 07 08:28:53 TacticalJoke, no, status bar Feb 07 08:29:29 TacticalJoke yeah, i'm trying to figure out what part of my app to use it in. dont have time to rewrite stuff, and i'm also hesitant to use it in the lower level stuff i may spin off as libraries because then it will depend on the kotlin runtime Feb 07 08:30:48 that is, the libraries will depend on kotlin runtime Feb 07 08:30:50 TacticalJoke, I am using Material Feb 07 08:33:11 TacticalJoke also you have to wonder, if kotlin and swift are similar, if it makes developing for android / ios (by the same dev) easier Feb 07 08:33:38 hi g00s, havn't seen you for a while Feb 07 08:33:44 hey meetoman what is up Feb 07 08:33:46 gota update my lollipop skills now :) Feb 07 08:34:08 yeah i dont know anything about lollipop. i kept my n7 on 4.4 Feb 07 08:34:16 http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/07/04/android-l-spotlight-colored-transparent-status-bars-give-apps-even-control-design/ Feb 07 08:34:28 this is so stupid, it's like one of their biggest feature but there is no examples of it Feb 07 08:35:17 i'm sure by now lots of people have asked about that on SO Feb 07 08:35:27 has to be some info on it somewhere Feb 07 08:35:57 Hi all, any chance someone could spare a second to help with a simple (I think) problem? Feb 07 08:36:06 there is, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27856603/lollipop-draw-behind-statusbar-with-its-color-set-to-transparent Feb 07 08:36:09 except none of them works Feb 07 08:36:16 I really hate google for this Feb 07 08:36:31 wrong answer should not be SEOed Feb 07 08:37:40 I'm trying to sort out image uploads through webview and just want to know how to assign ValueCallback to a ValueCallback Feb 07 08:38:23 I know its more of a Java question, but can't see to find the answer anywhere, I keep getting can't initialize here. Feb 07 08:39:23 :( Feb 07 08:41:42 pjuu you can ask java questions in #java ; i dont know anything about webview . but is one Uri, is an array of them Feb 07 08:42:39 g00s: Thanks... I think I may have sorted it with a cast. Im from the scripting language world so just getting used to jumping though hoops :) Feb 07 08:42:45 javascript lets you do terribly dumb shit with types, but java is a stickler :) Feb 07 08:43:03 g00s: thanks :) Feb 07 08:51:33 ok anybody good with Android 5.0?

Looking at messing with android. Anyone know some good tutorials? Most of ones on the first few pages of google seem outdated/quality is not that great. Feb 07 09:22:08 developer.android.com Feb 07 09:26:41 I bought my IAP from amazon for testing purposes but they seem to be giving it for free? — https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8176796/Screen%20Shot%202015-02-06%20at%2019.51.46.png Feb 07 09:27:13 Shoud I be concerned about this? Feb 07 09:27:27 hi, help me :(, how to show the recent activity dialog using the intent? Feb 07 09:30:10 meetoman I could not figure out one of the bigginer basic steps, gave up on the site. Feb 07 09:31:24 :*( Feb 07 09:32:02 http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/building-ui.html > Change renderlayout to linerlayout. I can only see linerlayout horizontal & vertical. which one? Also can't delete renderlayout or see any option forit to let me change it? (Pretty nubby at this sorry Feb 07 09:33:22 renderlayout? Feb 07 09:34:08 relativeLayout mybad, was going off memory Feb 07 09:34:59 just change RelativeLayout to LinearLayout Feb 07 09:35:04 anyone know com.android.systemui.recents.RecentsActivity ? Feb 07 09:36:11 You can also draw behind the status bar yourself. For example, if you want to show the status bar transparently over a photo, with a subtle dark gradient to ensure the white status icons are visible. To do so, set the android:statusBarColor attribute to @android:color/transparent and adjust the window flags as required. You can also use the Window.setStatusBarColor() method for animations or fading. Feb 07 09:36:15 this is waht it says Feb 07 09:36:19 but yet how do I freaking do that? Feb 07 09:36:20 Ashiren yeah, which is what i'm asking -how- to do. Entertain me, even if it's blindly trivial Feb 07 09:36:22 that is something relatively simple Feb 07 09:36:39 Eppiox: edit the xml Feb 07 09:37:00 i dont use android studio so i dont know if its hard there Feb 07 09:38:31 mmk, maybe that's my problem. Getting to the xml from inside the studio. Just shows me other stuff gui related. Feb 07 09:39:09 isnt there like editor mode Feb 07 09:39:26 Click 'Text' at the bottom left. Feb 07 09:40:28 lol -_- . This is going to a frustrating :D thanks TacticalJoke Feb 07 09:41:09 It gets much easier. Feb 07 09:41:16 :o Feb 07 09:46:13 when working with HandlerThread, should we quit it manually or can we depend on the system to do that on our behalf automatically later ? Feb 07 09:48:06 whats the best way to pass a custom class between fragments via a bundle? is it json, get methods from your activity, or parcel? Feb 07 09:48:18 the class is a datacontainer of arraylists and methods Feb 07 09:48:51 is it serializable Feb 07 09:49:30 shmoon_: You quit it Feb 07 09:49:45 ashiren I'm embarassed to say I don't fully understand that concept Feb 07 09:49:55 SimonVT: in onDestroy ? Feb 07 09:50:26 Whenever you don't need it anymore Feb 07 09:50:38 alright bud Feb 07 09:51:37 yo playboiiiii Feb 07 09:52:14 TheKarlBrown_: as long as your class doesnt contain nonserializable fields just add implements Serializable Feb 07 09:52:28 ArrayList of serializables is serializable Feb 07 09:52:38 it is less ugly than parcel IMO Feb 07 09:54:08 ashiren imma pastebin it for yu Feb 07 09:54:13 this is getting a little too much, I spent 3 hours now trying to figure out something they put on their website Feb 07 09:54:32 http://pastebin.com/nS8Pwdf1 Feb 07 09:54:51 meetoman I spent 5 hours last night trying to figure out how to get buttons to align evenly not right align Feb 07 09:55:15 without just getting my hands dirty and making extensions of basic functions Feb 07 09:56:53 seems serializable right ashiren? Feb 07 09:58:32 and one of my friend just msged me and told me she doesnt want to talk to me anymore lol Feb 07 09:58:57 TheKarlBrown_: lets see, implement serializable and try it Feb 07 09:58:58 kinda funny, not sure what i even did... and I am trying to figure this stupid thing out at 2am in the morning Feb 07 09:59:02 I blew off partying with 4 chicks tonight or going to a party with drugs to code betch Feb 07 09:59:13 who fucking cares Feb 07 09:59:29
