**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 08 02:59:58 2015 Feb 08 03:05:03 ok so I just got slapped. I know I need these changes. no invalidate, save findviewfromID's, no getRootView's, get common code into methods Feb 08 03:17:13 what should I be using instead of getRootView inside setOnClickMethod redefines? Feb 08 03:20:36 Hello, I am looking for help regarding GLSurfaceView, I am having an issue where I try to move it using an animation, and then move it back the content of the GLSurfaceView becomes a black screen instead of the image that was there. How can I rebuild the GLSurfaceview again, so that it would return the image that was there? Thanks in advance. Feb 08 03:29:11 shame samer4000 didnt stick around, i was about to tell him Feb 08 03:44:50 Should I store a GCM registration ID in SharedPrefs or on my server? Feb 08 03:55:42 t0astt: Shared prefs Feb 08 04:03:37 assuming you're going to push messages from your server, surely you need to have the reg ID there? Feb 08 04:18:10 Your client needs to send the registration id to the server, yes Feb 08 04:18:20 but you need to cache it in your shared prefs Feb 08 04:18:54 man, you're still stuck on the same issue? :p Feb 08 04:19:15 hey Afzal deuteros__ Feb 08 04:19:26 yup, talking to deuteros Feb 08 04:19:30 hey goos Feb 08 04:19:32 what's up? Feb 08 04:19:41 Again, how to implement gcm is documented to death on Google's site and plenty of others Feb 08 04:19:48 Lot of boiler plate but it's really copy/paste stuff Feb 08 04:20:03 there's probably a library :p Feb 08 04:20:17 Good point but I don't think there is Feb 08 04:20:26 Not really easy to capture in a library Feb 08 04:21:09 not sure how good or bad but here https://github.com/ayltai/Android-Lib-GCM Feb 08 04:21:10 :P Feb 08 04:21:11 Afzal h, stuck trying to design something here. i have an rx pipeline i need to implement transactions with, kinda fumbling around on how to do it Feb 08 04:22:09 also, check out these tips on GCM https://blog.pushbullet.com/2014/02/12/keeping-google-cloud-messaging-for-android-working-reliably-techincal-post/ Feb 08 04:22:20 ah, I still have yet to write a project where I use rx properly. Kinda sad Feb 08 04:26:15 I'm still ambivalent about Rx. I want to like it but still on the fence Feb 08 04:26:30 Event bus seems more natural and more decoupled still to me Feb 08 04:31:37 napalm deutros deutros__check out what it looks like now http://pastebin.com/qJv1Cbg3 Feb 08 04:31:50 so sexy :3 I needed a serious slap in the "use for loops" Feb 08 04:34:01 Much better. I’d still recommend putting the views in a field so you don’t keep looking them up over and over again, also don’t if (x==true), just if (x). Also, I think making parameters and locals final is a waste of time and impedes readability Feb 08 04:34:33 TheKarlBrown_: this feels a bit nuts to me Feb 08 04:34:39 but better Feb 08 04:35:12 you just have it so that if you click on one the others change color Feb 08 04:35:15 its a radio selection Feb 08 04:35:48 TheKarlBrown_: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/radiobutton.html Feb 08 04:36:20 TheKarlBrown_: you just set a background thats a selector to change the colors. you can also get rid of the radio circle drawable. Feb 08 04:36:22 deuteros__ its trading one for of coupling for another form. meilir page-jones had a taxonomy of the types of coupling out there, i forgot the name he gave this Feb 08 04:36:48 will I still be able to send those booleans to other methods? Feb 08 04:37:20 deuteros there is no if x==true, and it has to be final because I must reference them from the new OnClickListener Feb 08 04:37:35 TheKarlBrown_: yes, but you havent explained what your trying to do Feb 08 04:38:10 TheKarlBrown_: Ah right, I take that back Feb 08 04:38:28 I am setting a visual at the bottom with buttons that will process user inputs to filter a mysql database which has been turned into a data object I created rendered through a custom dataadapter I made Feb 08 04:38:29 TheKarlBrown_: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RadioGroup.html#setOnCheckedChangeListener%28android.widget.RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener%29 Feb 08 04:57:31 Hi. Where is the thumbnail directory for the phone's camera photos Feb 08 04:58:05 Even though there are many photos in DCIM/Camera, my DCIM/Camera/thumbnails is blank Feb 08 05:00:39 panda81: are you sure? Feb 08 05:10:13 Leeds: yes. Feb 08 05:11:09 lol, i typed 'git branch help' and git made a branch called help :| Feb 08 05:14:14 g00s xD Feb 08 05:17:44 can you create drawerlayouts from 2d or 3d strings Feb 08 05:18:00 huh? Feb 08 05:18:01 ie string[][] Feb 08 05:18:10 if you want to Feb 08 05:18:14 why not Feb 08 05:18:21 That's the move Feb 08 05:18:26 move? Feb 08 05:19:30 err, that is the best plan of action Feb 08 05:27:00 napalm I'll just be layering arrayadapters then right? Feb 08 05:27:31 is it at all possible that the value of an EditText with inputType="number" cannot be parsed to an integer? (That is, does not match [0-9]) on my phone it doesn't let me enter characters other than [ Feb 08 05:27:38 0-9] but just checking this is consistent Feb 08 05:28:07 TheKarlBrown_: erm, you could or just extends a BaseAdapter.. or whatever you like.. make a custom view to display whatever you like Feb 08 05:29:32 duncannz: yes, sounds like you incorrectly specified android:digits on your view Feb 08 05:30:22 Napalm: only integer values is the behaviour I want Feb 08 05:31:13 what have you specified Feb 08 05:31:19 hm, this is exactly the kind of stuff i /dont/ want to see playing with kotlin https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adt-dev/vhjDsuQmG7w Feb 08 05:32:32 Napalm: android:inputType="number" Feb 08 05:32:37 I haven't written android:digits anywhere Feb 08 05:32:50 the behaviour I'm encountering is exactly what I want, I'm just checking if it will be like that on all devices Feb 08 05:33:01 well add: android:digits="0123456789" Feb 08 05:33:06 thank you Feb 08 05:45:24 instead of using getActivity to get a data container to my fragment from my activity, I should use an interface instead, correct? Feb 08 05:48:05 TheKarlBrown_: er… not really, why? Feb 08 05:48:13 ignore my autism Feb 08 06:19:09 Just wondering what is the best practice for registering the broadcast receiver for detecting network change, should it be done in the Manifest or should it be done in code. Because if it is done in the manifest, the receiver will fire even if the app is not running which is not very ideal. Feb 08 06:23:49 <_genuser_> hello people. Feb 08 06:31:07 HARRO Feb 08 06:31:39 MohitKanwal: if you want it to wake up the app you should register in the manifest Feb 08 06:32:01 if not, extend Application and do it in the onCreate maybe Feb 08 06:38:03 lol I tried. I tried going without fragments Feb 08 06:38:13 there's just too much I'll have to do Feb 08 06:38:17 Not worth it. lol Feb 08 06:54:31 ugh properly creating a draweritemlist with 2d string array is breaking me Feb 08 07:03:40 thepoosh: thanks shouldn't wake up the app too much I guess. will put it in the onCreate. Feb 08 07:03:49 there you go! Feb 08 07:08:34 g00s: Feb 08 07:24:07 can someone verify something for me? It says that you can't find # of users visiting the play store except through the google flow referral tool in google analytics. Is this true? Feb 08 07:32:12 bilb_ono: yes Feb 08 07:34:49 thepoosh, ok second question: it says that these visitors are only tracked if coming via a referral source in the link to Google Play Feb 08 07:36:11 does this mean I am totally out of luck if I want to track direct traffic to my play listing? Feb 08 07:36:26 yup Feb 08 07:38:39 Leeds, how about visits via people pressing an nfc tag? Feb 08 07:38:46 any possible way I can track that? Feb 08 07:40:30 just write a good app and people will come Feb 08 07:40:36 goo.gl bilb_ono Feb 08 07:41:02 you will see the number of click Feb 08 07:41:15 deuteros: that is just not factually true Feb 08 07:41:22 and with the url, you can make a qr code Feb 08 07:46:23 I want to update a BLE characterstics .. what is class>method used for this Feb 08 07:46:35 hey, is there a way to create swipe tabs with tabs that aren't part of the actionbar? Feb 08 07:46:40 I am using BLE gatt example by google Feb 08 07:47:38 seriously? BluetoothGatt. writeCharacteristic Feb 08 07:48:55 gaganchd2000: you can only call it from one of the BluetoothGattCallback methods or its not thread-safe Feb 08 07:50:02 Napalm.. thanks let me try that once again Feb 08 07:51:25 anyone ?:) Feb 08 07:52:24 joroci: maybe getActionBar.hide(); Feb 08 07:52:30 getActionBar().hide() Feb 08 07:53:41 but can i locate them where i want instead of the top? Feb 08 07:53:48 or probably use pagertabstrip Feb 08 07:54:00 ya i think with pagertabstrip/pagertitlestrip Feb 08 07:54:06 https://developer.android.com/samples/SlidingTabsBasic/index.html Feb 08 07:54:12 you probably want that joroci Feb 08 07:54:28 Download link in top right Feb 08 07:54:39 project link to read source Feb 08 07:54:43 thanks Feb 08 07:55:08 you just need SlidingTabLayout.java and SlidingTabStrip.java Feb 08 07:55:16 and you can drop them as a view anywhere in your layout Feb 08 07:55:55 will BluetoothGatt. writeCharacteristic will work for LE devices also ? Feb 08 07:57:10 gaganchd2000: thats what gatt is Feb 08 07:58:00 napalm I deeit it :3 nagivation bar and another tab is done betch Feb 08 07:58:09 Okies... I see android.bluetooth.le also Feb 08 07:58:13 got suggestions for non-intrusive search bars Feb 08 08:01:09 is there an application which contains all examples from the official site developer.android/samples ? Feb 08 08:06:31 Napalm is it possible to use static number of tabs without the slide? Feb 08 08:06:49 yea just create some views Feb 08 08:06:49 lol Feb 08 08:07:08 with a background selector Feb 08 08:07:21 you can even use a RadioGroup to make it ultra simple Feb 08 08:08:08 no, i mean when i set it for 3 tabs it's not taking the whole width Feb 08 08:09:15 i want it look like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/LwNJT.png, just no in the top Feb 08 08:09:18 not* Feb 08 08:13:15 so is that possible? Feb 08 08:13:17 joroci: yes you can change that.. i forget where Feb 08 08:13:19 just look Feb 08 08:13:46 ok i'll search Feb 08 08:13:51 joroci: hang on? thats taking up the whole width Feb 08 08:14:02 what are you asking? Feb 08 08:15:14 joroci Feb 08 08:16:03 Napalm i never did figure that out ... if the user wants to write something to the device, no way its gonna happen from the binder thread Feb 08 08:19:45 hey g00s Feb 08 08:19:49 im off, laters. Feb 08 08:19:55 gnight Feb 08 08:37:52 sorry naplam was afk Feb 08 09:13:38 using intens i opened the gallery where the user can select an image ,the getData() onActivityResult() guves "content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A3790" Feb 08 09:13:47 just wondering how to get relevant details now Feb 08 09:13:52 so that i can use the image Feb 08 09:15:14 Anyone know a good example of a list with drag to reorder and delete functionality? Feb 08 09:15:31 shmoon_: you have to use Cursors Feb 08 09:16:08 shmoon_: think you use mediastore Feb 08 09:17:01 I used this Action Bar Style generator tool: http://jgilfelt.github.io/android-actionbarstylegenerator and copied the files into my project, changed AndroidManifest.xml so that , but still nothing has changed in my app Feb 08 09:17:05 any steps I missed? Feb 08 09:17:29 oh and I renamed styles_mytheme.xml to styles.xml, not sure if I needed to do that. but it didn't work either way Feb 08 09:18:49 hey Feb 08 09:19:11 hey Feb 08 09:19:15 To implement latest version of Analytics it says this: "If your devices are running Google Play Services, add the following meta-data tag as a child of the element:If your devices are running Google Play Services, add the following meta-data tag as a child of the element:" Feb 08 09:19:35 I assume almost all the devices will run Google Play Services Feb 08 09:19:45 but what would happen with the remaining few? Feb 08 09:20:12 Quacked: I believe a pop up appears saying "you must install Google Play Services" and the only buttons are Download and Exit Feb 08 09:20:33 that's based on my experiences when I used to use a phone that didn't have the storage space to install gplay services :) Feb 08 09:21:00 whats to benefit from implementing it then? Feb 08 09:21:12 implement gplay services? Feb 08 09:21:27

Feb 08 09:21:42 It says to add that if your devices are running Google Play Services Feb 08 09:21:53 but it says nothing what happens if you dont add it Feb 08 09:21:55 hmm Feb 08 09:22:12 https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/#manifest Feb 08 09:22:21 I just add it, myself. but I'm not sure what would happen Feb 08 09:23:08 ok thanks Feb 08 09:24:46 Quacked, that's why you have to check if play services are installed before you start calling them Feb 08 09:24:53 Quacked, the first example shows exactly how it's done Feb 08 09:25:31 hmm i'm confused, how do you use actionbar tabs if action.setNavigationMode is deprecated? Feb 08 09:25:40 Mavrik, aha Feb 08 09:26:08 joroci, you don't, you make your own Feb 08 09:26:56 my app doesnt use any other google service so I'm tempted to skip that line Feb 08 09:26:57 what do you mean? Feb 08 09:28:04 i thought i need to use PagerTabStrip but i want it to look like actionbar tabs Feb 08 09:35:57 anyone seen a material design app where the actionbar is tall and contains a video? Feb 08 09:38:08 no but that is a cool idea Feb 08 09:38:15 maybe play store Feb 08 09:49:59 why does my custom activity not have positive or negative clicks :[ Feb 08 09:50:52 nvm Feb 08 10:36:32 Where exactly in the onCreate method should "requestWindowFeature" be placed? I was placing it after super.onCreate and before setContentView and it would error saying it must be called before adding content Feb 08 10:37:52 Utils, it depdends if you're using appcompat or not Feb 08 10:38:01 since appcompat will call setContentView in onCreate Feb 08 10:38:09 usually putting it before onCreate is a good idea Feb 08 10:39:16 doesn't supper.onCreate have to be called first? Feb 08 10:39:34 I placed it before super.onCreate and it did not cause any errors... but it still isn't doing what I aimed. Feb 08 10:39:53 "requestWindowFeature(getWindow().FEATURE_NO_TITLE);" it still has a title bar, however there appears to be an options menu (Came default when you create a blank activity in the latest android studio) Feb 08 10:40:20 Not sure if that would be the problem or not. Feb 08 10:42:07 Na, removed the menu and the title bar still comes up, weirdly enough. In activity_main.xml, I also have "android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"" but the title bar persists. Feb 08 10:42:59 raz86, what do you mean scan qr code of url? how does this help me track? Feb 08 10:46:03 Utils do you have a style overriding the style you are looking at? Feb 08 10:51:23 Well... I have a a radialback.xml, this contains a shape with a gradient. I still have menu_main.xml which as far as I know isn't being used now which has a menu and an item. I do however have a styles.xml which contains a style tag with a parent pointing to Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar Feb 08 10:51:38 I cana't get custom vieuws to work in android studio Feb 08 10:51:51 And there is your answer Mavrik, apparently I'm using AppCompat Feb 08 10:52:18 It gives this error: "" Feb 08 10:52:41 I don't want the actionbar hidden on all activities, but a couple of them I do. Feb 08 10:52:49 The following classes could not be found: com.flaghacker.customvieuwtest.PeChart Feb 08 10:52:50 hmm, Realm is kinda neat to use for a simple data storage Feb 08 10:52:51 or title bar, whichever one it is actually called. Feb 08 10:53:09 When I click on Crete class, it says "Class already exists" Feb 08 10:53:14 Really weird... Feb 08 10:56:03 Oh, I see an AndroidManifest.xml too... the Application has a theme of @style/AppTheme and the activity doesn't have a theme specified ... Feb 08 10:56:08 Themes everywhere, man! Feb 08 10:56:12 Anyone? Feb 08 11:04:26 ugh. I editted the AndroidManifest.xml file and I placed in android:theme, and it said no resource found that matches the given name. I removed it, debugged and it comes back automatically now. omg. Feb 08 11:05:33 sounds like you edited the generated manifest which should not be edited Feb 08 11:06:13 probably but it's the only .xml file I have which has an activity tag to append my theme? Feb 08 11:10:29 I managed to undo... got that sorted. but now the app loads on my device but I get an error saying that I need to use Theme.AppCompat or descendant... but I don't know where I went wrong with that. I don't have a theme set anywhere now except in styles.xml and one referencing it from AndroidManifest which was defaulted. Feb 08 11:10:42 why is theming so difficult Feb 08 11:10:45 Hi all, can any one help to find where(in which file) exactly in contacts app the blacklist is implemented ? Feb 08 11:11:35 Oh, I think that was an old debug message. Feb 08 11:13:15 Ok lets start from the beginning. If I wanted to specify a theme for a single activity, where would I place that theme? Feb 08 11:13:19 When was the "Photos" app released? Like which Android version was it shipped with? Feb 08 11:13:46 Utils, you specify it in styles.xml (let it inherit from AppCompat theme), and then you set it in the manifest Feb 08 11:14:21 Feb 08 11:14:24 Ugh. reddit changed their terms so that API clients have to use OAuth 2 now. Feb 08 11:14:36 or in the application tag if you want to set it for the whole app Feb 08 11:14:53 danijoo: ok so what if it's a generated manifest which I believe it is? Feb 08 11:14:58 can an interface in one fragment convery information to another fragment Feb 08 11:15:01 directly Feb 08 11:15:26 im using mListener = (NoticeDialogListener) activity.getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.tab_search); and I think that its hella fucked Feb 08 11:15:31 because my mListener calls are all weird Feb 08 11:15:45 Utils, if you believe it is, its not Feb 08 11:18:08 danijoo: uh... well it kept reverting and it did display a warning saying that it should not be editted... however it doesn't show that warning anymore... Feb 08 11:18:17 TheKarlBrown_: One Fragment calling another directly is probably really bad design. Feb 08 11:18:38 shit Feb 08 11:18:39 They're intended to be independent entities which might even be reused in other contexts. Feb 08 11:18:51 I just spent 5ever designing this Feb 08 11:19:00 The general idea is that you call back to the listener *Activity*, and the Activity notifies the other Fragment. Feb 08 11:19:08 Utils, you just clicked the wrong file. Feb 08 11:19:18 yeah yeah yeah im the face of autims Feb 08 11:19:21 autism :3 Feb 08 11:19:31 It shouldn't take long to change. Feb 08 11:19:44 As far as I can think (for any problem in this category). Feb 08 11:19:51 danijoo: pretty sure it was the one I'm in now: app/manifests/AndroidManifest.xml I've kept the file itself open so it's definitely the same one. Feb 08 11:19:57 Utils, there are 2 manifests in your project. One that should be edited by you, and one that gets created everytime you build the app (it includes your edited). Feb 08 11:20:11 I KNOW WHAT TO DO Feb 08 11:20:12 if you edit the latter one, your settings will get overwritten when you build the next time Feb 08 11:20:16 then I have no clue where the other one is lmao Feb 08 11:20:46 Utils, is it gradle or ant project structure? Feb 08 11:20:53 It is gradle, danijoo Feb 08 11:21:48 then the one you should edit usually is at src/main/ Feb 08 11:22:04 at least if you dont changed that manually Feb 08 11:22:42 I don't have a src folder Feb 08 11:23:21 The base folder is app, then I have manifests, java and res. Inside res I have drawable, layout, menu and values. Feb 08 11:24:02 Oh wait... thats in the project structure, the actual file path is different. Feb 08 11:24:50 app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml is apparently the one I have open and have always had open... lol sorry I'm all over the place. Feb 08 11:25:19 So if that's the one I should edit... what in earth was I editting before... Feb 08 11:25:34 yes thats the one. Feb 08 11:25:37 you edited the generated Feb 08 11:25:46 which got overritten every time Feb 08 11:26:00 (thats why the IDE told you that you should not edit it ;) ) Feb 08 11:26:19 no one will tell me what i should or shouldnt do! Feb 08 11:26:47 So ... where the hell is the other one that I "should" edit? and howcome I can edit that AndroidManifest without any warnings etc now? it doesnt' get overwritten anymore. Feb 08 11:26:55 I've killed my manifests. :( Feb 08 11:27:08 reddit is clamping down hard. Feb 08 11:27:10 "You may not use "reddit" without "for" preceding it." Feb 08 11:27:14 (In an app name.) Feb 08 11:27:55 Damn. Also need a licensing agreement now if a reddit app shows ads or makes money. Feb 08 11:27:59 src/main/AndroidManifest.xml is the one you should edit Feb 08 11:28:24 that's... the one I just said and you said it was auto-generated? Feb 08 11:28:35 no I said the other is auto generated Feb 08 11:28:45 I have no idea where that other one is then... Feb 08 11:28:45 the one you edited before Feb 08 11:28:53 It was the same file I'm sure of it Feb 08 11:29:02 you should not care about the other one anyways ;) Feb 08 11:29:16 ind Im sure it was not the same :p Feb 08 11:29:48 This is really bothering me... if it's not the same one... how did I get it up and where did it go lol Feb 08 11:30:54 you get it up by clicking on the error message in the IDE Feb 08 11:31:05 this sometimes opens the generated one (which is dumb, yes) Feb 08 11:31:15 but at least it shows a warning then ^^ Feb 08 11:32:58 Hmm... that makes sense come to think about it. I did edit it successfully, but I had an error and maybe that popped it up and I thought it was the same one but it wasn't... so confusing. It makes it look like "I just editted this... and now you're telling me I can't? Why?!" lol Feb 08 11:33:14 but ok at least I got that cleared up and I don't have an action bar anymore. Feb 08 11:35:44 hi Feb 08 11:36:09 is there any way to use classes from an apk in a regular java program? Feb 08 11:47:41 is it bad programming practice to create a datadapter in a fragment using new DataAdapter(ib,getActivity()); Feb 08 11:50:17 I am trying to follow the "Big nerd ranch" book using Android Studio. Using Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit. I am able to run the first program and see it on the emulated phone, but I am unable to locate the "R.java" file for the resource ID's. It should be located under a build folder but I don't see any. When running "make project" Gradle finishes with no errors. Am I having a problem somewhere, or is there really no R.java file in Feb 08 11:50:17 Android Studio? Feb 08 11:56:54 hi any developers from india Feb 08 11:56:55 :) Feb 08 12:04:32 Is it possible to have the Palette load everything? For example, some things do not show up such as Shape, and Activity bars etc Feb 08 12:17:47 my android app use facebook SDK, for authentication. For some reason, I would like the user to be able to browse his FB pictures library from my App. Should I ask the permission during the auth (I don't need that permission server side, only client side), or is it possible only using local data ? Feb 08 12:27:27 Is it at all possible to... load the app, a loading circle appears and activity A or activity B may be shown (it will check if a user is logged in, if not, then the login activity etc etc) the history on these must be off. However there should be a history if you are logged in so if you go back, you go back to the members page Feb 08 12:28:02 is something like that possible? I heard about turning off the history but if you click back in another activity it will take you back to the main activity ... Feb 08 12:28:04 um Feb 08 12:28:12 why use an activity B to check that ? Feb 08 12:29:56 Main activity has the loading circle and does a check if you are logged in or not. If you are, Activity B will be the members page, and Activity A will be the log in screen. When you are logged in, members page should be the furthest you can go back (unless you click log out for example) Feb 08 12:30:00 does that make sense? Feb 08 12:30:37 I thought about adding android:noHistory="true" to the main activity, and activity A. So when activity B loads, that will be first in the stack... but not sure if that would do the job Feb 08 12:37:44 Utils: Doesn't it make more sense for the launcher activity to be the "we're logged in" one (and for the launcher Activity to show a secondary Activity if we're in fact not logged in"? Feb 08 12:38:05 s/"?/)?/ Feb 08 12:38:37 Otherwise, if the user opens the app already logged in, you're always having to show a secondary activity. Feb 08 12:40:33 so at what point would there be a check to see if they're logged in? I'm planning to use Facebook SDK. Feb 08 12:41:20 I guess in MainActivity.onCreate. I don't know exactly what you're doing. Feb 08 12:42:16 Hello =) Feb 08 12:42:41 Can I ask a quick question? Been searching through stackoverflow and googling quite a lot yesterday and today and can't seem to come across a solution... Feb 08 12:43:03 What would you use to authenticate someone inside an AndroidApp? OAuth2.0 through Google API's, or just a simple access to AccountManager class? Feb 08 12:44:20 I don't quite know what I'm doing either. I know what I want to achieve so it's all about just... hoping for the best. Hopefully it'll all start making sense to me after a while. Feb 08 12:45:31 n30m1nd: what are you trying to do? Feb 08 12:45:37 authenticate to a server? Feb 08 12:45:52 thepoosh: yeah, most likely I'm trying to get unique ID's per user of the app Feb 08 12:46:20 then you should decide how do you want to authenticate your users Feb 08 12:46:23 so I was just thinking of accessing AccountManager, list all accounts and get the first ocurrence, and use the e-mail as auth but... Feb 08 12:46:36 what if they don't have any account paired to the device? Feb 08 12:48:08 also authenticating users by just an e-mail is prone to MITM attacks (if no ssl connection is used) by just changing the e-mail sent in the request... so I'm kind of worried but not that much Feb 08 12:48:15 Utils: That's a good sign. :) Means you're stretching yourself. Feb 08 12:49:49 n30m1nd: so you need to have an ssl connection Feb 08 12:50:01 and probably a mechanism for validation Feb 08 12:50:09 or use oAuth2.0 Feb 08 12:50:15 which is a bitch Feb 08 12:50:58 thepoosh: Is it hard to implement, in general? I've just seen that reddit now requires API clients to use it. :/ Feb 08 12:51:03 hmmm, so OAuth2.0 is the way then... it's a pain because of the key making and using the google API is quite a big pain. More when developers.google and developers.android give totally different ways to auth Feb 08 12:51:07 I know almost nothing about it so far. Feb 08 12:51:28 it wasn't intuitive to me at all Feb 08 12:51:32 but that was a long time ago Feb 08 12:51:44 but it's supposed to be very efficient Feb 08 12:51:49 and good Feb 08 12:51:50 and TacticalJoke, to use Reddit you better use an API to access to it. I tried making a bot with python to access reddit without the api and it sure was painful Feb 08 12:52:05 thepoosh: the reddit api or the OAuth2.0? Feb 08 12:52:15 They have a JSON API. Feb 08 12:52:24 (And an XML one {though I doubt anyone uses that}.) Feb 08 12:52:28 no, OAuth2.0 in general Feb 08 12:52:31 i dislike it Feb 08 12:52:49 thanks for the encouragement Feb 08 12:52:52 ;) Feb 08 12:53:36 n30m1nd: I have non of those issues, i have server people here writing the authentication Feb 08 12:53:56 server or severe? Feb 08 12:54:05 server Feb 08 12:54:06 lol Feb 08 12:54:24 lol then I don't understand your statement sorry, what you mean server people? Feb 08 12:54:43 i work in a company Feb 08 12:54:50 we have a server side department Feb 08 12:54:57 then several server people Feb 08 12:55:09 yes Feb 08 12:55:11 ok gotcha then Feb 08 12:55:13 about 8 of them Feb 08 12:55:25 and they don't complain about oauth Feb 08 12:55:38 they wrote a different mechanism Feb 08 12:55:46 with phone number validation and sms Feb 08 12:56:00 how long did it take for them? Feb 08 12:56:25 long enough Feb 08 12:56:28 hmmm, my funds are close to -0� so I can't really pay an sms service Feb 08 12:56:31 it was over 2 years ago Feb 08 12:56:35 whoa Feb 08 12:57:14 So for just 1 developer like me, better to stick to OAuth2.0 is what you are in between the lines telling me, right? Feb 08 13:08:11 hello guyz i need some help with my code i am trying to run a method when i click on notification how can i do that http://paste.ubuntu.com/10125632/ Feb 08 13:09:02 s9iper1, pending intent Feb 08 13:10:53 i wanted to call a method instead of pending intent danijoo Feb 08 13:15:48 Hi there, In "Android system recovery" there is an option named "backup user data" what things backup takes?

Feb 08 13:29:16 Depends what client you're using, type the first few letters of their name, like flag then hit tab. Feb 08 13:29:28 Might not be tab for you however.
