**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Mar 06 02:59:58 2015 Mar 06 03:00:32 Im actually really excited about the Shield Console Mar 06 03:04:47 mrfu: afaik you should always be using the ./gradlew thing. I'm not totally clear on the why though. Mar 06 03:04:56 it does at least work, and in theory match whatever android studio is doing Mar 06 03:06:20 can use any compatible version of gradle Mar 06 03:06:34 gradlew is just a convenience Mar 06 03:07:24 so its just a use whatever is closest sort of thing? cool thanks Mar 06 03:13:57 < drose379> If I call a method from within a class that is on another thread Mar 06 03:14:03 that's not how that works Mar 06 03:14:12 the method will be called on the current thread Mar 06 03:14:19 even if you have another thread Mar 06 03:14:34 objects aren't bound to threads Mar 06 03:15:03 usually all threads have access to all memory, so all objects, filehandles, and other references to things Mar 06 03:15:43 if you want a method call from thread A to execute on thread B you have to do it explicitly Mar 06 03:16:19 by running a thread explicitly, or using a message passing system with only the specific thread acting on it, or etc Mar 06 03:17:40 And whatever you do, never use the Thread class directly Mar 06 03:18:55 should i be able to mutate the toolbar's menu (toolbar.getMenu().doStuff()) after I say setSupportActionBar() ? things aren't working as i expect Mar 06 03:21:34 those callbacks for optionsMenu are awkward; onCreateOptionsMenu() and onPrepareOptionsMenu() ... just as there is setContentView why couldn't there just be setMenu() :| Mar 06 03:21:44 and their timing is pita too Mar 06 03:21:47 g00s: that's crazy talk Mar 06 03:21:57 onPrepareContentView should be a thing Mar 06 03:22:13 lol Mar 06 03:22:22 along with onAreYouSureYouWantContentNowView() Mar 06 03:23:27 let me look at the lolcycle Mar 06 03:23:45 all the menu callbacks are called after onResume() Mar 06 03:26:03 unrelated lol: favorite android version of the day spotted in Flurry: "Android Jelybing" Mar 06 03:26:16 heh Mar 06 03:27:25 we also have a "Android 7.7.7 កប់សារី " - I should alert the media. Mar 06 03:27:44 "android jackpot spotted in the wild - WHAT DOES IT MEAN???" Mar 06 03:57:15 hm, if i say toolbar.inflateMenu( ... ) then setSupportActionBar(toolbar) no menu shows up Mar 06 03:57:25 so retarded Mar 06 03:58:50 just came across this from 5 months ago "Will appcompat automatically theme dialogs to look like the Lollipop version?" Mar 06 03:58:58 Chris: Not yet, but it's on the todo list. Mar 06 03:59:34 must be lots of work Mar 06 04:09:30 Has anyone tried to render tex (or mathml) formulas on Android? Mar 06 04:10:13 doing the tutorial on action bars in building your first app. I got the the point where 3 things seem to be missing, openSearch() and openSettings() in onOptionsItemSelected. am i doing something wrong.. or missed a step Mar 06 04:10:53 good luck android nice os Mar 06 04:11:30 groxx still there ? Mar 06 04:11:48 yup Mar 06 04:11:56 waiting on a train :| Mar 06 04:11:58 hi groxx hi g00s Mar 06 04:11:58 groxx : this should be obvious, but what is the point of using setSupportActionBar() for new Activities ? does it do things that simply putting a ToolBar in the layout can't do? Mar 06 04:12:50 g00s: not a clue. haven't used it yet. Mar 06 04:12:56 :( Mar 06 04:13:02 how can I make an app that can also be built for desktop (java webstart or a single jar)? Mar 06 04:13:05 probably makes upgrading less painful? Mar 06 04:13:14 ;[ < says hi Mar 06 04:13:35 is there a common graphics and audio API that is for android and desktop? Mar 06 04:13:43 groxx there is the AppBar, ActionBar, and Toolbar - i'm just wondering if setSupportActionbar(toolbar) gives it special powers Mar 06 04:13:53 ;[-<] <- snake thing says pppppppp Mar 06 04:14:05 hi groxx Mar 06 04:14:05 that a regular toolbar sitting anywhere else would not have Mar 06 04:14:36 g00s: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Mar 06 04:14:41 hehe Mar 06 04:14:41 saml_: unity? :) Mar 06 04:15:37 napster: sounds like fun. nope. webview + mathjax or whatever? Mar 06 04:16:11 linuxuz3r: howdy Mar 06 04:16:46 webvew + mathjax appears to be inefficient. Mar 06 04:16:55 I was looking for a java library that can do the thing Mar 06 04:17:12 return an imageview or something when mathml is passed Mar 06 04:17:24 it will be great project idea as well guys. :) Mar 06 04:17:32 if someone is interested Mar 06 04:17:42 jmathtex is there Mar 06 04:18:00 not very good in different aspects. Mar 06 04:27:57 if i already have intellij, do i need to download android studio? or is there a list of plugins i can install in my existing intellij to turn it into android studio? Mar 06 04:29:06 better to just grab android studio Mar 06 04:29:45 ah thanks Mar 06 04:32:07 oh i already had it installed before haha Mar 06 04:34:21 is udacity video lessons better than documentation? Mar 06 04:34:53 no Mar 06 04:34:55 saml_: I would say just stick with intellij, if you already have it Mar 06 04:35:11 saml_: coursera also has android classes, for free Mar 06 04:36:13 thanks. let me see how quickly i can write hello world app and test it on my phone Mar 06 04:37:36 BitmapConfig has no 8-bit GL_RED option. Don't think I want to create OpenGl context etc just for that.. Mar 06 04:38:22 android hello world involves appcompat, navigation drawer, about 15 files: several gradle.build files, smattering of xml, generated code, etc :D Mar 06 04:40:05 few clicks away in android studio Mar 06 04:40:19 i don't kow what i'm doing Mar 06 04:41:32 clicking the night away .... Mar 06 04:42:02 Chumbawamba :D Mar 06 04:42:15 hrm memory maxes out Mar 06 04:42:23 lol Mar 06 04:45:17 Looks like bastard RGB_565 is the best I can do Mar 06 04:45:44 or....A_8 and just some trick to somehow get this into greyscale Mar 06 04:45:51 without overdraw :-/ Mar 06 04:52:57 anyone know if calling setText and setSource etc will check if the set is actually an update or just blindly re-set the same data? Mar 06 04:53:14 especially setText Mar 06 04:54:17 knapper_tech: nope. check the source. Mar 06 05:07:30 hey Mar 06 05:07:40 anyone to speed up android studio Mar 06 05:07:59 anyway* Mar 06 05:09:19 ludkiller get 16G memory, ssd Mar 06 05:09:31 I got 8GB Mar 06 05:09:55 8GB is quite some amount Mar 06 05:10:06 yeah that should be enough Mar 06 05:11:30 do i need to set the ACtionBar space? Mar 06 05:11:54 i am adding elements to it, but they all show up in the context menu regardless of how much spave is there Mar 06 05:16:05 How do I deauthorize my app after I get an oauth2 token for a google service?? Mar 06 05:16:23 So I've tried to get an oauth2 token but it threw a UserRecoverableAuthException, which caused me to fire off an intent and eventually have my app authorized. Now I want to undo that so I can test the authorization logic again Mar 06 05:23:08 can anybody recommend a cell phone sim unlock web service? Mar 06 05:24:17 phubarr,does that even exists ? Mar 06 05:26:05 certainly Mar 06 05:26:29 you're in a developer channel and you aren't aware of a sim unlocking service? Mar 06 05:28:16 no Mar 06 05:28:33 note how this is "Android application development" Mar 06 05:28:38 rather than #android Mar 06 05:29:10 or maybe not Mar 06 05:29:18 I haven't came across such service Mar 06 05:29:19 yet Mar 06 05:32:57 its ok... Mar 06 05:33:01 there are quite a few Mar 06 05:33:12 not to be confused with bootloader unlocking Mar 06 05:33:19 or rooting, obviously Mar 06 05:34:45 I have heard of services which provide bootloader unlocking Mar 06 05:34:59 that is a new one for me Mar 06 05:35:07 for htc one m8, Sunshine provides s-off services Mar 06 05:35:12 are you sure you aren't getting the two crossed? Mar 06 05:36:09 ahh ok Mar 06 05:39:04 How are SQLiteDatabase.insert() calls handled? There seems to be a slight delay between when I insert a row and when it becomes available for reading. I'm inserting a row, then sending an intent to my service that reads the row and performs an action based on it. But, it seems that I need to wait a few seconds before I trigger my service otherwise the row doesn't get read Mar 06 05:40:01 jerk is there like an update call or something you can do after the insert? to refresh the database or something Mar 06 05:43:00 Not that I see in the list of methods available in SQLiteDatabase Mar 06 05:50:52 Anyone finding Nexus 6 skin a little buggy. Launcher always crashes.

Mar 06 06:07:28 quick question: I have an apk in alpha, trying to add products to my iap list, and it says I don't have any apks with the BILLING permission. I can look at my apk, and it does have that permission, both in my manifest and on the console. Mar 06 06:07:36 what am I doing wrong? Mar 06 06:08:05 alpha Mar 06 06:08:16 you need a release I think Mar 06 06:08:24 though saying it seems not quite right Mar 06 06:08:52 all the propaganda seems to say it should work Mar 06 06:09:06 I would think I could test that without just going live Mar 06 06:09:11 hmmm, cant remember but I had an issue similar or exact Mar 06 06:09:55 do you know Napalm? Mar 06 06:10:05 why I can't add products to an apk in alpha? Mar 06 06:10:28 I have the BILLING permission in my manifest, and it shows on the apk in the console Mar 06 06:53:07 Yay: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/135501/ Mar 06 06:53:08 Merged. Mar 06 07:44:37 For the material light theme, what should the background color of the nav drawer be? Mar 06 07:51:39 why might I tag a view and provide tag indexes except to have multiple tags? Mar 06 07:51:52 use cases ever popped up? Mar 06 07:51:53 "@color/background_material_light" probably. Mar 06 08:08:12 http://tylerdavis.info/post/ngandroid-intro/ Mar 06 08:12:17 g00s is that website wordpress? Mar 06 08:12:28 no idea Mar 06 08:12:43 nm Mar 06 08:13:16 ngAndroid: horrible name. Mar 06 08:13:20 Looks interesting, though. Mar 06 08:22:21 I'm facing an issue with Android Studio, and think I might be barking up the wrong tree so far. In my project I have three modules; "app" and two others that it depend on. AS had no issue with this as long as they were Java-only, but once I added native code to the modules, it started shouting at me because some of the files it looks for in android.mk do not exist until one of the modules has been built Mar 06 08:24:19 but I seem unable to figure out how to make the module compile barely gets started at all before it stops since it can't find the *.so generated by one of the modules (which is then referenced by LOCAL_SRC_FILES in the "app"'s android.mk) Mar 06 08:24:55 well that was missing some text. *make "app" compile after the other module Mar 06 08:27:06 starting to wonder if the way to go might be to write a shell srcipt that does the compilation and copying of files, and having that run before the project compiles in AS, but it would feel somewhat dirty Mar 06 08:39:59 http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/03/05/oracle-bundles-askcom-adware-with-latest-java-for-mac-installer Mar 06 08:43:38 Ok, my properties editor of views disappeared. And when I got it back it does not seem to work... Mar 06 08:44:01 Eclipse is great for android programming right ? Mar 06 08:44:13 :) Mar 06 08:47:49 Is this the correct way to get the properties editor back ?: window->show view->other->general->properties ? Mar 06 08:48:09 It is not showing the properties of the stuff selected in the outline ... Mar 06 08:48:14 Just an empty window Mar 06 09:04:50 Why are you still on eclipse? Mar 06 09:20:31 Morning all! Mar 06 09:24:14 having rows with different layouts is a pita Mar 06 09:50:22 does anyone know if google analytics v4 tracks fragments automatically with activities? Mar 06 10:12:26 Hi ! I have two machin's installs of Android Studio in latest version with Oracle Java 7. But compilation blocks on one, not the other !!! This is when I try to compare an Object typed variable with false (obj_var != false) Mar 06 10:14:19 I'm okay that not necessary comparable, but how can one install accept that, and have it to work, while the other one with the close config refuses to compile it ? Mar 06 10:14:43 why are you comparing those two Mar 06 10:15:02 I must precise that I copied the project folder from the compiling one to the failing one ! Mar 06 10:15:40 Because I have a param with can be either String or Boolean ! Mar 06 10:15:55 sounds like some bad coding Mar 06 10:15:59 paste the code Mar 06 10:15:59 So I used the base type : Object Mar 06 10:18:25 desmin88: I'm no asking if this is "good" or "bad", but why Java can act different on two install, this is my concern ! Mar 06 10:18:47 then this isnt relevant to android development, try ##java Mar 06 10:19:13 Code : Object toto; if (toto != false) .... Mar 06 10:20:56 desmin88: So you're sure that a difference in Java install ? Not a setting in AS for example ? Mar 06 10:21:03 that's Mar 06 10:39:31 hackkitten: you around? Mar 06 10:46:22 desmin88: They don't understand too ! Mar 06 11:05:50 zebu1er: That code you pasted doesn't make sense. Mar 06 11:08:21 with sharedpreferences, is the saved data encrypted in any way? Mar 06 11:08:59 No. Mar 06 11:09:09 It's a plain-text XML file. Mar 06 11:09:21 But it's in your app's private directory. Mar 06 11:10:12 TacticalJoke: so no other app can read it? Mar 06 11:14:56 TacticalJoke: It worked ! Mar 06 11:38:26 vompatti, unless the phone is rooted, yea ;) Mar 06 12:17:42 hi guys Mar 06 12:18:10 I need some help with a problem and I've posted it on stackoverflow Mar 06 12:18:18 is it ok if I post the link here? Mar 06 12:20:16 johnny_and1: yes Mar 06 12:20:24 or just ask the question here as well Mar 06 12:23:49 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28897487/why-does-my-application-randomly-crashes-with-sigsegv-when-it-tries-to-start-an Mar 06 12:29:57 hmmm Mar 06 12:41:39 Any headstarts on making a custom kernel for AOSP? Mar 06 12:58:20 wrong channel mtyamantau Mar 06 13:26:56 Hello.. I am trying to monitor http requests and responsed with xposed but i cannot figure out how to get the get/post data and the responses. so far i only could get the urls by hooking the java.net.HttpURLConnection constructor. Has anybody a helping idea? Mar 06 13:31:19 do you guise know a good camera lib for android ? Mar 06 13:31:31 or should I dev the implementation myself from scratch ? Mar 06 13:38:21 blusky: for requesting a photo using a camera app or for implementing your own camera app? :) Mar 06 13:39:08 implementing my own, I need some HUD, and I want it to look like the same (as possible) on all devices Mar 06 13:39:43 I already tried some intent for camera app, but it's a different app for nexus, samsung, motorola ... too hard to make something "clean" I think Mar 06 13:40:39 blusky: right, if you absolutely have to have your own hud then using the image capture intent wont work. Mar 06 13:41:16 i thought so :-) Mar 06 13:41:32 so in order to implement my own, should I do it from scratch, or is there some interesting lib. for that ? Mar 06 13:42:00 requiring the same camera look on all devices is a bit wonky imo since users are usually used to how the camera app of their choice looks and works :) Mar 06 13:42:03 (cause there's a lot of feature to concider: front/back cam., auto focus, flash, zoom...) Mar 06 13:42:18 blusky: don't forget bugs :\ Mar 06 13:42:30 appel1: snapchat have the same "feeling" for all devices, isn't it ? Mar 06 13:42:43 hmm Mar 06 13:42:50 there was a rather good camera lib Mar 06 13:42:59 this one: https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-camera Mar 06 13:43:19 blusky: yes, and lots of apps tries to behave and look like their iOS counterparts as well. Doesn't mean it is a good idea. Mar 06 13:43:31 Mavrik: is there a "but" ? :D Mar 06 13:43:35 but if you are making your own camera app then of course it makes sense for it to look the same. Mar 06 13:44:45 blusky, um, not that I know of, I haven't used it Mar 06 13:45:00 blusky, implementing custom camera stuff is painful and sucks, so if it helps minimally you're way better off Mar 06 13:45:07 since there's ton of special cases depending on hardware device Mar 06 13:45:23 such as ? Mar 06 13:46:05 I just need front/back, flash and autofocus. I don't know if it's concidered as "hard" Mar 06 13:46:23 cwac-camera seems to handle it Mar 06 13:46:28 i'll try this one later :) Mar 06 13:51:36 trying to write a provider… “this file cannot be opened as a file descriptor it is probably compressed" - i’ve set aapt to not compress pdfs any other suggestions?

Mar 06 14:22:19 cause inside update Im grabbing all the object's properties, meaning they will all be null Mar 06 14:22:30 if I update using that newly created object I think stuff will be overwritten Mar 06 14:23:25 its difficult to theorize like thise, there should be an easy way to look at the database of my app Mar 06 14:27:02 How to create listview dividers like these : http://material-design.storage.googleapis.com/publish/v_2/material_ext_publish/0Bx4BSt6jniD7QU52RF9tMlY1RUk/components_lists_keylines_two8.png Mar 06 14:27:33 view Mar 06 14:27:47 or some property given from the listview in xml Mar 06 14:27:52 I usually use a view Mar 06 14:29:38 not sure I understand Mar 06 14:30:28 yeah dividers android:divider Odaym Mar 06 14:31:21 I need them to start after the profile images like in the picture above. Mar 06 14:31:38 then you must use a view Mar 06 14:31:49 you set padding on the listview, everything will be padded, not what you want Mar 06 14:32:11 you want a view that appears at the bottom of the cell's layout, and it has padding left and right Mar 06 14:32:44 hmm, I was thinking a custom divider drawable could be created for that. Mar 06 14:32:55 whatever it is, it has to be in the layout of the cells Mar 06 14:33:04 oh Mar 06 14:33:16 no you can't set padding on the property of divider Mar 06 14:33:24 you'll end up setting the padding for the whole listview Mar 06 14:33:53 they have a view and they say to it "alignStart" of the textviews above it Mar 06 14:34:00 so it starts from that point and has match parent Mar 06 14:35:08 Odaym thank you Mar 06 14:35:27 ok Mar 06 14:42:34 yea im pretty sure that updating the DB with an object that's missing its properties will cause it to have null written to all those missing properties Mar 06 14:43:06 if you start a contentvalues object and do get on it from the object passed, get will result in null Mar 06 14:43:10 you break the universe Mar 06 14:43:54 Odaym: you can set the padding of a divider Mar 06 14:44:08 really? Mar 06 14:44:12 how, its a property Mar 06 14:44:19 never heard of another one called dividerPadding Mar 06 14:44:50 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14054364/how-to-assign-padding-to-listview-item-divider-line Mar 06 14:45:00 duh Mar 06 14:47:10 you didn't answer yesterday Napalm, where do you work?

Lol Mar 06 14:52:55 TechGeek01: if you want to use it with AppCompat remember the attributes are without the "android:" prefix Mar 06 14:53:51 that causes the items to go into the overflow Mar 06 14:54:02 I'm not manupulating the items Mar 06 14:54:25 That colored band at the bottom (the green one), I'm looking to change the color of that Mar 06 14:54:37 And that's the aaccent bar at the bottom, not the whole bar itself Mar 06 14:54:49 that's with the theme Mar 06 14:54:51 change the theme Mar 06 14:55:06 thanks for the divider padding Napalm Mar 06 14:55:06 Odaym: ive already stated that Mar 06 14:55:18 Is it? Mar 06 14:55:41 Does Speech to Text API always work offline or does it ever need a connection Mar 06 14:58:28 how do i get these distributed evenly? http://pastebin.com/TvW3Pw9G <-> http://i.imgur.com/spDItKL.png Mar 06 14:58:57 ahhhh Mar 06 14:59:03 crashes KitKat Mar 06 14:59:03 lol Mar 06 14:59:29 Aby udea wgy http://i.imgur.com/09dEr9f.png happens? Mar 06 14:59:42 Any idea why* Works in another project. Mar 06 15:00:09 repos are all there Mar 06 15:00:57 Moter8, is the project only published in jcenter Mar 06 15:01:02 and you have mavencentral added? Mar 06 15:01:11 tried w jitpack too Mar 06 15:01:55 Ah, I think I know, I had added it to repositories {} but not to buildscript{} Mar 06 15:02:00 gradle is weird Mar 06 15:02:08 TechGeek01: figure it out yet? Mar 06 15:03:13 Moter8, yeah, because it uses different repositories for dependencies it needs to build and dependencies that go into end artifact: ) Mar 06 15:03:57 AS now gave up Mar 06 15:04:06 Napalm: Nope Mar 06 15:04:09 gah Mar 06 15:04:27 There's tons of docs on styling an action bar, but not really anything on styling a CAB Mar 06 15:04:46 CAB? Mar 06 15:04:59 The contextual action bar Mar 06 15:05:04 arg Mar 06 15:05:09 he means ActionMode's Mar 06 15:05:10 For context on long clicks Mar 06 15:05:38 never heard of that :D Mar 06 15:06:00 the docs have it wrong anyway Mar 06 15:06:33 Lol Mar 06 15:07:20 Moter8: I was trying to take https://www.dropbox.com/lightbox/home/Camera%20Uploads and change the green hairline at the bottom of the ActionMode to some other color Mar 06 15:07:50 TechGeek01, wrong link Mar 06 15:08:09 https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnhhxo0maplmmuk/2015-03-06%2008.50.12.png?dl=0 Mar 06 15:08:12 Lol whoops Mar 06 15:08:53 Oh now i get it Mar 06 15:10:07 http://i.imgur.com/WKFVTL3.png :( Mar 06 15:10:28 And there is documentation on the action bar styling, and how the same properties can be applied to the ActionMode, but not anything on that little hairline Mar 06 15:10:36 and stopping this makes AS unresponsive Mar 06 15:11:09 Dang Mar 06 15:12:16 is there really no way to get file creation time in Android? Mar 06 15:12:23 I don't want lastModified() Mar 06 15:13:28 ctime is not creation time Mar 06 15:15:06 and I suppose the answer is no Mar 06 15:15:20 so Android does not track file creation time Mar 06 15:15:53 MooGoo, on which filesystem? Mar 06 15:16:01 use fstat in jni Mar 06 15:16:11 access ctime Mar 06 15:16:22 and no, ctime is still not creation time Mar 06 15:16:35 Linux does not track creation time Mar 06 15:16:45 Mavrik: hm? just a file saved to internal storage Mar 06 15:16:53 well. Mar 06 15:17:01 MooGoo, that depends on filesystem on the device and if it stores that. Mar 06 15:17:05 Alot of them don't. Mar 06 15:17:10 I suggest you find another solution ;) Mar 06 15:17:59 one hack I saw was to call "stat" from the shell Mar 06 15:18:06 but I suppose that would just return ctime Mar 06 15:18:52 linux doesn't generally track that, so, no Mar 06 15:18:58 posix filesystems do not have creation time Mar 06 15:19:01 period Mar 06 15:19:28 ctime is close, though Mar 06 15:20:30 hey guys… im trying to download a file, and i changed my code to use BufferedReader. How can i save the downloaded content? i was using byte[] buffer and input.readLine() reads String: http://paste.ofcode.org/RjQ2p2hpzPbGbLDT5hhJpa Mar 06 15:24:42 hey all Mar 06 15:24:47 I need some help plz Mar 06 15:24:56 use reader for text data, not. binary Mar 06 15:26:08 I want to make an app like a digital magazine Mar 06 15:26:14 what do I need to do ?

Mar 06 15:29:22 say I have a large image of a complex table I would like to embed into an acitvity. It contains too many rows and columns to be clearly read on a phone. So my plan is to have an activity which contains some sort of mystery control which would allow the user to pinch and zoom the large image. Mar 06 15:31:04 what's the easiest way to display a high resolution image, with the ability to zoom. Mar 06 15:31:17 w/o learning. Mar 06 15:34:27 any help ? Mar 06 15:34:37 how can i force my download to read/save an UTF-8 file?? http://paste.ofcode.org/364d2kRrNy3wUTLqhb3R4N2 Mar 06 15:38:08 luist, http://stackoverflow.com/a/17145587/1473536 Mar 06 15:39:05 quinnjn: can i download images using string? Mar 06 15:39:34 quinnjn: you will need an http client likely Mar 06 15:39:42 s/quinnjn/luist/ Mar 06 15:39:53 luist, you can. Why do you want to though? there are tons of libraries out there to handle that for you.. Mar 06 15:40:28 quinnjn: basically, download a file and save in Context.MODE_PRIVATE Mar 06 15:41:29 luist, Looking at your code you're trying to get a XML file. Why not just use a library that loads a XML file? Mar 06 15:42:45 hey guys, can i use account manager to save a token(a string which makes web request), and if user clears app data, that string is removed too ? Mar 06 15:44:48 sci-fi: if you store it in your apps directory then yes Mar 06 15:46:01 any help how to do app like flipboard app where should I save data and what method to use to push data Mar 06 15:46:52 quinnjn: im using one to parse a xml, not to download it Mar 06 15:47:43 quinnjn: well the code is working, except that id like to force utf-8 because the encoding seems wrong Mar 06 15:48:46 luist, what are you using to parse? Mar 06 15:49:15 luist, pretty sure jsoup offers downloading of the XML Mar 06 15:50:15 :( there are much better options than jsoup Mar 06 15:50:44 quinnjn: javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder Mar 06 15:51:13 wondering if android studio permits that i write openGL codes ? Mar 06 15:51:17 yiati, examples? I've only ever used jsoup/BeautifulSoup Mar 06 15:51:31 quinnjn: Retrofit + Simple Mar 06 15:51:55 http://simple.sourceforge.net/ Mar 06 15:52:03 which retrofit supports Mar 06 15:52:13 hey guys, has anyone used TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR for sensors? I have the result coming in ok, but it seems that the x and y are reversed Mar 06 15:52:40 yiati, neat. I'll have to check this out in the future Mar 06 15:53:19 i figured using using any tool such as openGL is very tedious and time consuming.. Mar 06 15:53:46 like making a simple triangle takes about 60 or more lines of code Mar 06 15:54:00 yoLo_, yeah. The GF is in her last year of CS and is struggling but enjoying openGL in a graphics class Mar 06 15:54:14 and 3D is even worse how do people even manage to make games with this, damn Mar 06 15:57:25 quinnjn: have you done any openGL ? Mar 06 15:57:50 yoLo_, I tried drawing a triangle way back (3-4 years ago) and failed pretty hard Mar 06 15:58:13 can universal image loader deform image bytes ?, because i have to check image byte array hash data Mar 06 15:58:44 yoLo_, use a library, like gdx Mar 06 15:58:52
