**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 18 02:59:59 2015 Nov 18 03:52:52 am i right in saying the android youtube player api does not expose stop or endtime Nov 18 03:53:05 any ideas/help on how i should implement these in my app Nov 18 04:26:02 http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/17/google-and-asus-launch-the-85-chromebit-a-chrome-os-desktop-on-an-hdmi-stick/ Nov 18 04:26:54 "Because it’s a full Chrome OS machine, you can pretty much run any web app on it. " Nov 18 04:27:00 notice, not android Nov 18 04:29:47 yeah, they announced that many months ago Nov 18 04:30:07 Leeds what is the use case? unusual piece of gear Nov 18 04:30:23 the use case is to turn any TV into a ChromeOS screen Nov 18 04:31:08 we have 2 PCs at home - one is mine, for work/play/etc - the other is for my gf, it's plugged into the TV, and she uses it for browsing and local/streaming media, nothing else Nov 18 04:31:25 I would actually really like to get her off the PC and onto ChromeOS Nov 18 04:48:42 Does anyone have a working espresso build running and passing on travis-ci? Nov 18 04:49:12 I find it interesting that they say "you can run. any Web app on it" bah... nothing special Nov 18 04:49:38 my espresso tests timeout and I have no idea why it's not finishing Nov 18 04:52:10 Current .travis.yml -> https://gist.github.com/shekibobo/267597f3775c98ba3ebd Nov 18 05:27:21 material icons 2.1 Nov 18 06:19:36 HI Nov 18 06:19:39 anyone online ? Nov 18 06:21:35 I have set a PeriodicTask with 60 seconds in GCMNetworkManager and flex of 30 seconds. So incase in if mytask is run 30 seconds early would next task be run after 90 seconds ? Nov 18 06:44:27 suhas_sm: I am slightly alive Nov 18 06:44:49 but each day that passes gets closer to my death Nov 18 06:48:59 heh Nov 18 06:54:26 in google Keep, instead of the FAB, there is some kind of button bar, does that thing have a name ? Nov 18 07:02:00 Hello. When using AndroidStudio and you type "this." you will get a list of possible methods to use. But how can I dinamically see the desclription/function of the method ? Nov 18 07:03:12 NeoFrontier: CTRL+SPACE or CTRL+F1 Nov 18 07:03:25 or ctrl+click the link Nov 18 07:05:13 super wyoung Nov 18 07:11:57 How would you pass a List from one activity to another via intent? Nov 18 07:16:52 actually to add to that, does anyone have a source for the current size limit on Intents? Nov 18 07:17:13 I'm finding sources from a few years ago that say 1mb, hopefully thats been updated... Nov 18 07:17:35 orbyt_ bad form anyhow to pass large data in intents Nov 18 07:17:44 better to point references / urls Nov 18 07:18:00 app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" scrolls even if the recyclerView takes only 20% of the screen. Any idea how to make it scroll only if necessary? Nov 18 07:18:19 Thought it was the only solution tbh, im passing a List which are all gifs @ g00s Nov 18 07:18:32 so its probably 5mb+ Nov 18 07:19:12 orbyt_ thats terrible Nov 18 07:19:19 dont do that ;) Nov 18 07:20:31 Well some context....I was loading gifs with Glide via urls...this was a tad to slow for a recyclerview, so I thought I would add a sort of loading activity to be launched beforehand to grab all the data and then pass it into the activity with the recyclerview so the gifs load locally Nov 18 07:21:36 wth Nov 18 07:22:07 Im guessing you have a better idea? Nov 18 07:22:15 yoavst dave smith has a good CoordinatorLayout video Nov 18 07:22:25 seems to cover things pretty thoroughly Nov 18 07:26:27 could I serialize the list and pass that? Wonder if that would work. Nov 18 07:39:10 g00s: Maybe it will be simple: is there a way to determinate if recyclerView can scroll? If it can't I can disable the flag Nov 18 07:57:02 Ok, found a solution - http://pastebin.com/DjtJPAS2 Nov 18 08:13:51 g00s: Nov 18 08:14:12 what's news? Nov 18 08:38:28 it's my output of keystore D0:72:98:D9:ED:68:D9:30:C1:92:67:62:CF:26:92:21:E3:A7:53:85 and put keystore in config make auth api key but i don't know it doesn't open map and say Authentication failed on the server. also it shows: Android Application (;): 13:D1:2A:1D:CD:25:20:FA:90:41:49:7A:2F:5F:10:FC:E7:DE:7A:12;googlemap.mrg.ericom.com.mygoogle Nov 18 08:38:54 it shows different hash from my keystore when i run map app Nov 18 08:43:38 add the one shown in error message in your developer console Nov 18 08:47:32 suhas_sm: http://codepad.org/ajXze1nk and its my google console: http://storage5.static.itmages.com/i/15/1118/h_1447836459_4378268_18ed9e8d48.jpeg Nov 18 08:49:21 any idea ? Nov 18 08:50:24 add this finger print as well Nov 18 08:52:57 suhas_sm: add from where ? Nov 18 08:53:50 there is a button on develop console Nov 18 08:54:01 see in jpeg Nov 18 08:54:36 you said add this with new hash key ? Nov 18 08:55:25 13:D1:2A:1D:CD:25:20:FA:90:41:49:7A:2F:5F:10:FC:E7:DE:7A:12;googlemap.mrg.ericom.com.mygoogle Nov 18 08:55:41 this is probably your debug key Nov 18 08:56:22 ah so it doesn't load from my keystore Nov 18 08:57:37 where this key produced ? 13:D1:2A:1D:CD:25:20:FA:90:41:49:7A:2F:5F:10:FC:E7:DE:7A:12 Nov 18 08:58:53 i have this key http://storage6.static.itmages.com/i/15/1118/h_1447837125_3713246_1b05e14821.jpeg but 13:D1:2A:1D:CD:25:20:FA:90:41:49:7A:2F:5F:10:FC:E7:DE:7A:12 i don't know where it come from Nov 18 09:03:56 found out Nov 18 09:05:03 Random question, but does anyone have a copy of TrustDefenderMobile from ThreatMetrix that they can send me? Nov 18 09:25:31 is there a way to wait for boradcastreceiver to receive da ta? Nov 18 09:25:33 data* Nov 18 09:26:27 vompatti: Yeah, can send parcelable data through the intent Nov 18 09:27:01 or through the intent's bundle Nov 18 09:27:47 hamsterr: can I do that with DownloadManager? Nov 18 09:32:46 hwrdprkns: can I do that with DownloadManager? Nov 18 09:37:19 Hello, Masters. I want to build a custom video recording app. Where should I start? Nov 18 09:39:59 you should start by limiting yourself to api 18+ Nov 18 09:41:27 why 18+ lol Nov 18 09:43:28 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodec.html#createInputSurface() because this didn't exist before, and without this the API is near useless Nov 18 09:44:55 ah mmk Nov 18 09:45:19 they didn't specify a color format for the manufacturers to use and so they used their own Nov 18 09:45:48 which led to MediaCodec being pretty much useless unless you knew exactly how to convert some manufacturer specific color format to one of the supported ones Nov 18 09:46:15 with createInputSurface you can draw directly from camera to it Nov 18 09:49:21 Wow okay I'm skimming the createInputSurface(). Thanks! :D Nov 18 09:55:43 https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-platform/p_MoSk0JPNM/f5tmQ5PbeewJ has some discussion on the problem that was made slightly better with createInputSurface Nov 18 09:59:45 Anyone taken a look at the fingerprint api ? Nov 18 10:14:33 Hello guys, I have a fragment with a listview in it. When a user select an item to see the details and than turn back to the list, the listview position is gone or reset to the beginning of the list. What's the best method to go back to last position of the listview? Nov 18 10:20:35 FusedLocationProviderApi sometimes doesn’t provide location updates unless wifi is on :’( Nov 18 10:20:45 any idea why ? Nov 18 10:20:50 Is this a bug ? Nov 18 11:07:59 Ok, found my answer, solution is saving Listview's state with the method onSavedInstanceState() Nov 18 11:11:00 Or, use myListView.smoothScrollToPosition(position). Nov 18 11:30:54 is it a bad idea to have a tablayout+viewpager inside a fragment? Nov 18 11:34:08 is there anyway to disable horizontal scrolling in android studio editor ? it is killing me Nov 18 11:50:02 bigger screen? Nov 18 11:50:08 what's causing the scrolling? Nov 18 11:56:46 osxorgate: Yeah bigger screen sadly is not an option for me :D _money_, but text fits well into the screen Nov 18 11:57:09 osxorgate: it seems its ide configuration which have right space for code. Nov 18 11:57:19 osxorgate: BTW sorry for delay Nov 18 11:58:47 'right space' ? Nov 18 11:58:52 can you post a screenshot maybe Nov 18 11:59:28 osxorgate: yeah , of course , what Nov 18 11:59:31 wait Nov 18 12:00:00 hi, I'm looking for an android webserver which support php and has the php curl modul installed. I have tried with ksweb but the code working on an apache2 doesn't work with ksweb. So I'm looking for an other webserver with which it may work. Nov 18 12:02:11 osxorgate: https://imgur.com/49O2bc7 that is my longest line , but you can notice there is still so much space to scroll to right Nov 18 12:02:37 hehe Nov 18 12:02:42 you must have 1 very long line Nov 18 12:02:46 maybe whitespace? Nov 18 12:04:59 hey, i try to animate a bottom toolbar. the toolbar is a fragment, which i animate by fragment transaction. When the fragment is replaced, it render first a grey background and then animate the toolbar. Nov 18 12:05:41 how can i fix that? Nov 18 12:05:51 osxorgate: no ! such wired problem Nov 18 12:06:40 weox what's with line 665 wrapping? Nov 18 12:06:47 i'd disable that first time i see it Nov 18 12:11:02 doesn't work , I remove that line. drop it , I don't think it is going to fix . It should have hard wrapping setting Nov 18 12:13:34 maybe restart AS :) Nov 18 12:16:48 I think you are right , it seems that only project problem Nov 18 12:16:57 I opened other files in that project Nov 18 12:17:00 it was okay Nov 18 12:17:08 maybe some wired white space Nov 18 12:22:23 Hello everyone. I'm trying to implement login on my project, but I'm quite confused. Nov 18 12:22:33 This guide (https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/start-integrating) says I must declare the Play Services Identity API dependency (com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:8.3.0), but inside Android Studio's Module Settings, when I check the box to activate Google Sign In, it declares another dependency (com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.3.0). Nov 18 12:22:38 Do I have to declare both? What's the difference? Nov 18 12:23:18 why elevation is not working on textview Nov 18 12:49:46 In android studio my annotate option is grayed out when right clicking (or I guess 2 finger clicking since I'm on mac) on the line number bar. Additionally when right clicking in the editor, there woudl be some git options (history, log, annotate,...). These are missing as well. Nov 18 12:50:27 git is included correctly according to android studio and when i create new files it asks me to add them to version control which also works... So I have no idea why that isn't working. Nov 18 12:50:38 Does anyone know what could be wrong? Nov 18 12:53:01 Hi, I'm trying to access resource-strings from a class in a different package. Both, importing R or calling .R.string. throw an android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException. Is there another mechanism required? Nov 18 12:57:04 which android emulator for pc has the latest android os? Nov 18 12:57:41 freiform: the other package needs to be imported into your project somehow Nov 18 12:57:48 is it in your buildpath? Nov 18 12:57:57 KeithWeisshar: try genymotion Nov 18 12:58:30 genymotion is paywalled Nov 18 12:58:36 it requires an account Nov 18 12:58:55 KeithWeisshar: only for commercial use. For private use it's free afaik Nov 18 12:59:23 why does andy still come with android 4.2.2 Nov 18 12:59:39 genymotion can't be downloaded without registering Nov 18 12:59:45 Hello guys, in Fragments I initialise views in the onStart() method. I wonder if it's the preferred way or should I put my views initialisation somewhere else? Nov 18 12:59:50 thepoosh: I use teh default strings.xml and have a package in the root of my app from which a class wants to access it. The calss runs fine if I harcode the string (e.g. field names for bundles).. Nov 18 13:00:19 Number5: maybe in onCreateView Nov 18 13:00:25 Number5: onCreateView Nov 18 13:00:26 KeithWeisshar: personal use is free Nov 18 13:00:43 KeithWeisshar: that's not a paywall then. Nov 18 13:00:46 freiform: if you added it to your buildpath you should be able to link to it Nov 18 13:01:05 and if you got ResourceNotFoundException, you're referencing something that is not there Nov 18 13:01:46 freiform: if it's a limited number of strings simply passing them over might make sense Nov 18 13:01:59 thepoosh: i see. strange. Nov 18 13:02:24 freiform, Ashiren I remember initialising views in onCreateView results in views with values null after calling findViewById(...). That's why I put it in onStart(). Nov 18 13:02:41 Syzygy: this is an app-wide settings.bundle, I thought it be convenient in case something changes. Nov 18 13:03:09 it says to download genymotion i need to have a genymotion account and they want my email Nov 18 13:03:19 Or I mistakenly used wrong view id's but I doubt that. Nov 18 13:03:23 its free for personal use Nov 18 13:03:38 if youre afraid just give them your spam mail Nov 18 13:04:24 Number5: findViewById in fragment? fragment doest have that Nov 18 13:04:27 how is andy Nov 18 13:04:49 Number5: I create my views, includiing findByView() inside onCreateView, no problems so far. Nov 18 13:05:16 andy doesn't require any registration Nov 18 13:05:17 Ashiren, come on. If you have the root view, you can do something like root.findViewById(...) to get your buttons, textviews and so on... Nov 18 13:05:47 freiform, I guess I'll try it again to make sure. Nov 18 13:06:19 stupid question, what is a Scrim? Nov 18 13:06:20 Number5: well maybe you havent initialized the root yet Nov 18 13:06:43 Number5: I inflate the view in onViewCreate: View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout., container, false);, then use view.findByView().. Nov 18 13:06:52 Troffel: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scrim Nov 18 13:06:56 but maybe you mean scrum Nov 18 13:07:09 I get the root by inflater.inflate(....). in onCreateView(). Nov 18 13:07:18 then it should work Nov 18 13:07:27 freiform, yes exactly Nov 18 13:08:11 freiform, wait, you use findByView()? Nov 18 13:08:30 or you meant findViewById() Nov 18 13:08:43 Ashiren, was thinking more in relation to http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/CollapsingToolbarLayout.html#setContentScrim(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable) Nov 18 13:09:31 maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrim_(material) Nov 18 13:09:39 woo material design Nov 18 13:11:36 Number5: I meant findById Nov 18 13:11:56 freiform, yeah thnx, I thought so :) Nov 18 13:18:32 If you can’t use the fingerprint api without having a lockscreen set what is the point of being able to use it for authentication in apps? Nov 18 13:27:49 Des, I haven't programmed Android for some time and I actually totally missed Material Design. Is it necessary to almost always use CoordinatorLayout for future apps based on Material Design? Nov 18 13:28:33 This question is to all the developers :) Nov 18 13:31:22 No just if you want to coordinate multiple layout events. Nov 18 13:34:14 Hi guys - is there any inkling as to when Android Pay might be coming to the UK? Nov 18 13:35:49 morning Nov 18 13:37:26 people, i have recyclerview and framelayout in it. Framlayout contains textureview and imageview. Imageview is last so it shown by default. I use imageviwe to show video preview. Nov 18 13:38:32 but when i want to show video, i set imageview visibitity to gone and textureview.bringToFront() Nov 18 13:39:13 imageview is hiding but no textureview appears and no video and no profit... Nov 18 13:39:17 :( Nov 18 14:02:40 What's the way to structure projects now? A MainActivity (FragmentActivity) and replace the fragment(s) there? Nov 18 14:16:00 using rxjava/retrofit i have a network call to fetch a list of X, and for every X i want to do a network call and store the results in a HashMap with all X'es as keys, and all other responses as values.. how? Nov 18 14:16:14 i'm thinking .toMap() somewhere Nov 18 14:27:50 Is there any documentation available on how Espresso works internally? Nov 18 14:28:09 Would be really interesting to know. Nov 18 14:30:16 Generally, you have some finely ground beans where water at ~94 degrees celcius is introduced in ~15bar pressure. Nov 18 14:30:23 What? :D Nov 18 14:30:29 I am talking about the testing framework. Nov 18 14:30:29 :D Nov 18 14:30:37 #ImAFunnyBastard Nov 18 14:30:40 not. Nov 18 14:31:21 Anthaas: this is serious stuff man Nov 18 14:31:44 One does not simply mess with Espresso. Nov 18 14:31:49 it's the fuel that keeps us from killing other people out of sheer frustration Nov 18 14:31:49 how often do you guys find yourselves making custom views? Nov 18 14:32:18 Looney: I can imagine. Nov 18 14:32:19 :D Nov 18 14:32:35 i'm not a Java dev professionally, but i'm comfortable enough using it, was wondering what kind of hurt i'm in for with custom views Nov 18 14:32:43 But thinking about brutally murdering someone is more fun than actually doing it because you can do it multiple times. Nov 18 14:32:51 when the person's already dead, it's no fun anymore. Nov 18 14:32:56 hrm, *cough* sorry. Nov 18 14:33:29 anyway, brb Nov 18 14:34:56 arussellsaw, custom views usually fix the hurt, not cause more ;) Nov 18 14:35:22 I usually build them as soon as the layouting code gets unwieldly or It would require too many views just to do something simple. Nov 18 14:36:06 Hello! I'm developing a system service (in /system/app) which must use the android.permission.DUMP permission. I've added it, but the permission is denied. Is there any special flag I need to set to let this app be a system one? Nov 18 14:36:32 You people talking about views while I am trying to write them in my DRF :-D Nov 18 14:36:43 Coincidence, I don't think so Nov 18 14:36:59 jim87, it's probably a signature type permission, so your app has to be signed with same key as the platform itself Nov 18 14:37:18 Mavrik: ah, ok I understand... so the other way's root Nov 18 14:39:37 Mavrik: btw if I compile the OS, it's possible to execute the dump, right? Nov 18 14:39:46 (I mean with the same keystore) Nov 18 14:40:59 if it's a system app then it should be yes (aren't those in /syatem/app-priv now?) Nov 18 14:41:55 Mavrik: I'm developing for an Android 4.4.2 tablet ATM, not sure if they had /system/app-priv Nov 18 14:42:53 I assume styles don't support multiple inheritance? T_T Nov 18 14:43:10 they don't Nov 18 14:43:55 maybe /system/priv-app? privileged... I'd give a try Nov 18 14:50:16 is there some way to get backgroundTint to work on API level 16? Nov 18 15:25:08 Hi all. I am new to android programming and was looking for advice. I am making an application that stores collections of data and was wondering what the best way of going about it was. Basically a user can create different backpacks, each backpack has specific categories with items in them. Each item has properties a lot of properties/values of it's own. Would it be best to use a database for this data or an xml file or somethin Nov 18 15:26:08 Akayllin: i like to use libaries like realm: https://realm.io/ Nov 18 15:40:17 What's the way to structure projects now? A MainActivity (FragmentActivity) and replace the fragment(s) there? Nov 18 15:40:27 Or do you have more than one activity? Nov 18 15:47:01 there's is no one way to go about things Nov 18 15:47:11 personally i use both Nov 18 15:47:15 where it makes sense Nov 18 15:49:05 ForgottenLinkz: where does what make sense? :p Nov 18 15:49:33 so for instance i have a registration flow, which is similiar in action. in this case i swap out fragments Nov 18 15:49:55 i have a main activity with separate content fragments Nov 18 15:50:03 but i have detail screens in their own activity Nov 18 15:51:11 why “force close” button is not getting disabled when the process dies? Nov 18 15:51:34 what does this button actually do? Nov 18 15:52:36 ForgottenLinkz: so you'd make the login/registration process a different activity than the app's content itself? Nov 18 15:52:43 yeah Nov 18 15:53:50 it's called an 'activity' for a reason :P Nov 18 16:01:15 is this the right place to talk about android game development (openGL) ? Nov 18 16:06:21 Question guys, I'm looking at a SO answer on Intents and I'm wondering where I would be able to find this answer for myself, would it be in the docs? Nov 18 16:06:27 Here is the link, check out the answer: Nov 18 16:06:32 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3375561/return-to-activity-after-action-completed-in-android Nov 18 16:07:22 Huh, brand new project in IDEA, and I get "Error:Android Gradle Build Target: org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not execute build using Gradle installation 'C:\Users\Adrian\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-2.2.1-all\c64ydeuardnfqctvr1gm30w53\gradle-2.2.1'." Nov 18 16:08:15 morning Nov 18 16:09:54 Anyone see the SO link I posted? Nov 18 16:10:35 another big fuckup from google https://commonsware.com/blog/2015/11/18/another-doze-edge-case-foreground.html Nov 18 16:10:45 drose379: nothing you can do about it really. it's the responsibility of the SMS app to close itself after sending a message Nov 18 16:11:03 ForgottenLinkz, I am wondering where that answer came from Nov 18 16:11:25 In other words, where would I be able to find that "exit_on_sent" closes the intent after the message is sent Nov 18 16:11:36 I did not see it in the docs, how does that answerer know about it? Nov 18 16:11:37 so whats the best layout to use to create a dialog form? Nov 18 16:12:06 depends on what you want the form to look like Nov 18 16:12:15 drose379: i have no idea where it comes from. that extra data send over needs to be supplied by the owner of the app. Nov 18 16:12:17 like a dialog form Nov 18 16:12:19 gridlayout is probably good Nov 18 16:12:31 ok Nov 18 16:12:47 I understand that, just wondering where I could find the "exit_on_sent" extra Nov 18 16:12:59 IOW, why was it not in the docs? Nov 18 16:13:29 it's not in the docs because it's not part of the framework Nov 18 16:13:56 So why does it work? Nov 18 16:14:32 because that's how that app is build. someone probably just decompiled the source of the app and found there was such functionality Nov 18 16:15:12 So you are saying "exit_on_sent" is not included in the SDK Nov 18 16:15:24 yes, that's what i'm saying Nov 18 16:16:38 Impossible Nov 18 16:16:56 I just put added it to my application and it works perfectly, it must be part of the SDK Nov 18 16:17:09 pfn so Dianne H says that they split their long running services into separate processes for all their apps Nov 18 16:17:33 g00s_, it really depends Nov 18 16:17:41 g00s_, for certain things it makes sense Nov 18 16:17:55 e.g. decoupling a service from UI decreases memory foot print Nov 18 16:17:58 Have any of you guys heard of "exit_on_sent" ^ Nov 18 16:18:01 drose379, no Nov 18 16:18:08 pfn seems only way around this doze bug, i guess thats why they never saw it Nov 18 16:18:19 How the heck does this guy know about it then pfn Nov 18 16:18:38 I'm just wondering so I can find this stuff for myself in the future, instead of using SO Nov 18 16:18:51 drose379, reverse engineering Nov 18 16:18:58 g00s_, what doze bug Nov 18 16:19:05 What do you mean pfn Nov 18 16:19:11 drose379, google it Nov 18 16:19:12 pfn http://commonsware.com/blog/2015/11/18/another-doze-edge-case-foreground.html Nov 18 16:19:36 you have to read a lot of google+ thread back and forth between dianne and the other guy though Nov 18 16:19:49 Ok pfn I see what reverse engeneering is, how does it apply to finding these hidden Intent extras? Nov 18 16:19:57 drose379, by reverse engineering Nov 18 16:20:27 Ok, so if I wanted to do this, and couldnt find a SO answer about it, how would you reccomend "reverse engeneering" Nov 18 16:20:44 if you don't understand it, you shouldn't do it Nov 18 16:21:24 Reverse engeneering is taking something apart and seeing how it works, in order to make it better, or duplicate it Nov 18 16:21:37 google reverse engineer android apps Nov 18 16:21:39 or learning / understanding Nov 18 16:22:37 Ok, what if I did not see an app doing this already Nov 18 16:22:43 I would have nothing to reverse engineer Nov 18 16:22:54 you would reverse engineer the apps you're trying to integrate with Nov 18 16:22:57 i.e. messaging Nov 18 16:23:17 And it would be in there somewhere Nov 18 16:23:52 o hyeah today is a big MS day Nov 18 16:24:17 Interesting pfn, thanks for the guidance Nov 18 16:27:52 So I could reverse engeneer the Messaging app to change its color or something? Nov 18 16:28:10 Or anything Nov 18 16:28:23 maybe Nov 18 16:28:46 Have you ever done it Nov 18 16:29:39 To any app Nov 18 16:30:37 all the time Nov 18 16:30:54 You can just see the code of any app Nov 18 16:30:58 Sounds crazy// Nov 18 16:31:00 ..* Nov 18 16:37:19 nice .net core rc1 Nov 18 16:38:19 so i'm reading the flutter.io FAQ http://flutter.io/faq/ Nov 18 16:38:38 "Why did Flutter choose to use Dart?" ... this is very interesting Nov 18 16:39:02 i think the likelihood we'll be using this keeps going up and up Nov 18 16:46:18 my god android layout is so dumb Nov 18 16:46:33 android layout is one of the best parts of android :P Nov 18 16:46:47 yeah exactly Nov 18 16:46:54 that says a lot Nov 18 16:47:56 Can anyone please help? I get "Error:Android Gradle Build Target: org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not execute build using Gradle installation 'C:\Users\Adrian\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-2.2.1-all\c64ydeuardnfqctvr1gm30w53\gradle-2.2.1'." with a brand new project on IDEA Nov 18 16:48:17 wow gradle 2.2.1 eh, update your stuff to 2.8 or 2.9 Nov 18 16:48:54 Uh, it's what IDEA defaulted to Nov 18 16:49:22 autrilla look at updating the gradle wrapper, or what it points to Nov 18 16:49:50 I guess I'll use my own gradle Nov 18 16:50:00 Don't. Nov 18 16:50:21 okay? Nov 18 16:52:43 Mavrik: elaborate Nov 18 16:52:59 Use the gradle wrapper, not a separate gradle installation. Nov 18 16:53:05 Just change the version in properties file. Nov 18 16:56:42 Mavrik: what properties file? gradle-wrapper.properties? Nov 18 16:58:29 can I use a drawable as a mask? (e.g. everything that's overlayed by the drawable becomes transparent? for the view that has this as a background drawable only) Nov 18 16:58:50 in xml/style only Nov 18 16:59:02 uhm... I'm installing an app via am install /path/to/my.apk (via runtime run) and then I execute in my "main" app a startActivity with as intent an intent with action "my.action", as defined in the AndroidManifest of the installed app... it is as if it was still using the old app previously installed? Nov 18 17:04:38 g00s_: mkay, so I told the wrapper to use 2.9, but now I get Error:Android Gradle Build Target: org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not execute build using Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.9-all.zip'. Nov 18 17:04:48 where in android 6 is the setting for users to remove an app from Doze governance? Nov 18 17:06:05 hm settings , battery optimizations, all apps Nov 18 17:07:12 autrilla not sure , haven't used the wrapper, but it should be pretty basic Nov 18 17:07:31 probably update the wrapper itself if its from 2.2 , i think it had some bug Nov 18 17:07:42 this is all very googleable Nov 18 17:09:22 autrilla, does the build from console work? Nov 18 17:09:41 Mavrik: I don't know, I have no idea where the bundled gradle is Nov 18 17:10:09 You don't have to know that, just run the wrapper with assemble call. Nov 18 17:11:53 Mavrik: is gradlew the wrapper? Or should I run the jar myself? Nov 18 17:12:09 gradlew is the script that invokes the wrapper Nov 18 17:12:12 use that :) Nov 18 17:12:24 You never call gradle directly, always via the wrapper. Nov 18 17:15:50 Mavrik: yeah, assembling myself works Nov 18 17:16:02 hi how can i easily rewrite an URI scheme ? (from xxx: to yyyy:) Nov 18 17:16:05 Ok, that means that the gradle build works. Nov 18 17:16:23 autrilla, now just clean up the IDEA files (.idea, project.iml) and reimport the project with "use default gradle wrapper" Nov 18 17:16:48 Mavrik: what do you mean by clean up, remove? Nov 18 17:18:50 Trying to import with the default gradle wrapper outputs "Unable to start the daemon process. This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon. For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used. Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/2.9/userguide/gradle_daemon.html Please read the following process Nov 18 17:18:50 output to find out more: ----------------------- Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit." Nov 18 17:19:15 And I do have enough RAM Nov 18 17:19:31 I should use the 64bit jvm i guess Nov 18 17:21:30 That looks wierd. Nov 18 17:21:41 It's like you have IDEA configured to run wrong gradle or wrong JVM. Nov 18 17:23:17 I'll remove every trace of 32 bit java Nov 18 17:27:54 anyone use SuperSLiM? Nov 18 17:30:48 (Hopefully) dumb question about Show CPU usage. I know it's Unix load average, basically max at 1.0 per core. But I'm getting over 9 for Nexus 5x (6 cores), and over 13 for LG G2 (4 cores), both with basically nothing running... Not sure what these numbers means... Nov 18 17:31:46 Mavrik: working now. Now I'm having trouble with Windows being obtuse and thinking the MTP driver is the driver I want, and it doesn't let me pick the ADB driver from the list (it doesn't even show up) Nov 18 17:33:12 oh I figured out my NPE with sticky-headers-recyclerview Nov 18 17:33:25 I should not let View.inflate attach my header layout to the parent viewgroup Nov 18 17:34:01 otherwise recyclerview will get confused about child views in it that have null viewholders Nov 18 17:35:14 "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]" <-- what does it mean? I load it in a tmp folder and run "pm install /path/to/my.apk". I can read it (I can "cat" it)... if I install it via Android Studio, it installs Nov 18 17:35:41 maybe it's the directory it is in jim87 Nov 18 17:35:45 Ghopper21, how are you measuring that? Nov 18 17:36:18 missingno: it's in the app's tmp folder... /data/data/my.app/cache/myfile45645646.apk Nov 18 17:36:53 Ghopper21, also what are you trying to measure really? :) Nov 18 17:38:27 Mavrik do you have any experience splitting the app's Service into another process? I remember there were some gotchas but can't find them on d.android.com in Service javadoc Nov 18 17:38:48 dianne H is recommending this practice now to avoid some doze mode bug Nov 18 17:39:09 well, seems like she always recommended it (and chet haase does too) but now it becomes more important Nov 18 17:40:30 Mavrik: I go to Settings > Developer options > Show CPU usage Nov 18 17:40:52 Mavrik: Three numbers show up on the screen, akin to Unix load averages, with other information Nov 18 17:41:20 Mavrik: I'm trying to see how much CPU my app is using. My app is causing overheating, want to see if CPU usage is the cause. Nov 18 17:42:24 Ghopper21, load average really isn't the right metric for that Nov 18 17:42:31 Ghopper21, use Android Studio CPU measurment graph Nov 18 17:43:03 Since you're not interested in number of processes waiting for a time slot, but you want to see CPU utilization of a single process. Nov 18 17:43:09 How come I'm extending Theme.AppCompat.Light but I don't get an action bar displayed? Nov 18 17:43:23 Ghopper21, systrace is also useful with it's CPU measurment metrics. Nov 18 17:44:19 Mavrik: gotcha, thanks. This is for an Android app created by Unity 3D, not via Android Studio, can I still use the Android Studio CPU measurement graph? Or should I just use systrace? Nov 18 17:45:15 Doesn't unity have it's own profiler? Nov 18 17:45:30 You can still use the graph anyway. Nov 18 17:46:03 Mavrik: Another performance meansurement question while I am it :-) The GPU overdraw option doesn't work for games that take over the entire screen, which is a pity. Any way to get that working for games? Nov 18 17:46:41 Nope, since it counts Android view layers. Nov 18 17:46:56 It has no way of measuring GPU overdraw, you need to use a GPU profiler for that. Nov 18 17:47:07 Afaik nVidia has one that works for Android devices with Tegras Nov 18 17:47:08 Mavrik: Yes, but Unity's profiler doesn't show overall CPU % utilization Nov 18 17:47:12 And Qualcomm should have one too. Nov 18 17:47:15 Hey, got a thorny problem here if anyone can lend me some brainpower Nov 18 17:47:41 Mavrik: Gotcha re: overdraw using view layers, thanks Nov 18 17:48:07 Ghopper21, there's also an OpenGL profiler in Android Monitor that should also give you a lot of GPU info Nov 18 17:48:10 If it works. :P Nov 18 17:48:12 I have an AutoCompleteTextView, which I'm using for the filter functionality and dropdown menu, however I don't want the dropdown dismissed when OnItemClicked is fired Nov 18 17:48:19 Any advice? Nov 18 17:54:12 Mavrik: will check out OpenGL profiling, many thanks for all the tips!!! Nov 18 17:57:16 What do you recommend to unit test Android? Unit test, not integration test. Nov 18 17:59:24 g00s_, well, DH says it will be fixed Nov 18 17:59:35 g00s_, I wouldn't recommend splitting services off Nov 18 17:59:43 well, google's stance on optimization is weird Nov 18 17:59:51 basically, do nothing abstract Nov 18 18:00:00 heh yeah Nov 18 18:00:12 and for stuff like services, it, according to google's stance, should *always* be in a separate process Nov 18 18:00:20 as many components should be in independent processes as possible Nov 18 18:00:35 that would reduce memory footprint when only an individual component needs to be loaded Nov 18 18:00:39 e.g. long running service vs. ui Nov 18 18:00:45 in practicality, meh Nov 18 18:00:45 no Nov 18 18:00:53 Dianne HackbornNov 16, 2015+1 Nov 18 18:00:53
