**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 22 02:59:59 2015 Nov 22 03:05:18 I hate how LayoutInflater.inflate returns the root view if (and only if) `root` is non-null and `attachToRoot` is true. Always trips me up. Nov 22 03:09:29 The documentation for LayoutInflater.cloneInContext: "Returns a brand spanking new LayoutInflater object associated with the given Context." Wat. Nov 22 03:25:55 Are there any recommended system requirements for developing Android apps on a Linux(Ubuntu) computer? Nov 22 03:27:43 Hmm, not sure. For any system, I'd be tempted to say "at least 8GB RAM". Nov 22 03:29:54 I'm running on 4GB (on Windows 7), but the next laptop I get will have at least 12GB. Nov 22 03:32:13 So processor speed, 1.6 - 1.9 GHz, 2 - 2.9 GHz 3GHz would be fine? Nov 22 03:34:30 I mean, would an i3 processor be fine? **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 22 03:37:53 2015 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 22 03:50:51 2015 Nov 22 04:04:38 You will have a hard time running Android Studio + emulator at the same time without it being slow as hell Nov 22 04:04:56 You should aim for a quad core if you have the budget Nov 22 04:20:08 the android and ios dev chatrooms are dead Nov 22 04:20:21 compared to chatrooms like linux and javascript Nov 22 04:28:55 Imagine if "in the box" was a better emulator or simulator. Nov 22 04:29:05 I highly doubt it, but that'd be cool. Nov 22 04:29:23 b4b: How many people are in those channels? Nov 22 04:30:50 alot more surprisingly Nov 22 04:30:58 you’re like the only active dude Nov 22 04:55:10 Is there a guideline for what color a MenuItem drawable should be for material design? Not sure what color I should use for icons in the overflow or in a PopupMenu. Nov 22 05:03:02 did the channel go down earlier for anyone else..? Nov 22 05:05:28 There was a netsplit. Nov 22 05:06:30 CedricBeust have you been having problems with SourceTree 2.0.5.6 crashing a few minutes after starting up ? Nov 22 05:07:37 Whoa, there's gonna be a new Prison Break series in 2016. Nov 22 05:08:20 TacticalJoke: everything even vaguely old is new again Nov 22 05:09:03 Leeds yeah, i just installed vim again :D Nov 22 05:09:14 not neovim? Nov 22 05:09:20 Oh no, g00s. Nov 22 05:09:26 :D Nov 22 05:09:43 lol, i have vim, emacs, ST, Atom, and VS Code ... Nov 22 05:09:48 i got rid of ST Nov 22 05:10:35 apparently somebody started doing mac builds of cim again, after a period of abandonment Nov 22 05:10:42 s/cim/vim Nov 22 05:10:44 Part of the reason I left vim was that I couldn't use it in Borland Delphi, I think. If I had started using it today, I might've never left. Nov 22 05:11:03 oh its still a piece of crap. i just use it to edit config files Nov 22 05:12:18 i gave up on it for a while when i built it from sources, and the end result was often garbage in the text area, like the screen buffer was corrupted Nov 22 05:12:23 but hey, wors on amiga 2000 Nov 22 05:12:50 I've always hated building stuff from sources. So many ways to go wrong. Nov 22 05:13:32 ST is expensive for the momentum it has Nov 22 05:13:39 i think Atom will nuke it Nov 22 05:15:56 Leeds what do you think of neovim ? Nov 22 05:16:05 g00s: I don't Nov 22 05:16:14 kudos to those guys for ripping out all the kruft and crap though Nov 22 05:16:40 i think it will wind up like xemacs Nov 22 05:38:51 TacticalJoke i think some projects just design themselves into a corner, and then accumulate so much baggage they can't do anything interesting any more. vim and emacs are like that Nov 22 05:41:38 hm, google analytics is the 2nd app i see now that has nav drawer but only 'settings' is in there Nov 22 05:45:09 c'mon gradle... api23... you can do it Nov 22 05:52:50 anyone read that new google ebook on Play 'The Secrets to App Success on Google Play" ?

Nov 22 06:02:17 regular use, got a wood stove as well as oil heat Nov 22 06:02:35 offsets it nicely. i took down a dozen or so trees a few years ago when we were doing our garden so I'm getting them split and burned Nov 22 06:02:44 built a nice little raised woodshed last year, makes things easy Nov 22 06:03:01 nice Nov 22 06:03:13 dragorn able to keep all the critters out of the garden ? Nov 22 06:04:13 yeah, tho I need to get an auger or hire someone w/ a bobcat and a drilling rig to put in proper poles Nov 22 06:04:28 I ended up taking an impact drill up there and drilling into the shale to put in metal poles... it's pretty shitty Nov 22 06:05:28 i used a gas powered auger once; needed 2 people to hold it ... i think we lost grip and it spun around by itself :D Nov 22 06:05:42 yeah I've used one of those, they're fun Nov 22 06:05:46 but not so good at rocks Nov 22 06:06:44 whoo finally got permissions requesting working Nov 22 06:06:52 dragorn here you go http://www.directindustry.com/prod/rabaud/product-41260-1319069.html Nov 22 06:06:55 i say finally. a whole lot of not actually working on it Nov 22 06:07:02 for excavator :D Nov 22 06:07:05 nice Nov 22 06:07:07 heh Nov 22 06:07:11 if I won the lottery Nov 22 06:07:22 I'd buy a small excavator Nov 22 06:07:53 I can't seem to use ic_action_content_new as src for my FAB Nov 22 06:08:05 do I need to get this icon from somewhere? Nov 22 06:08:15 err Nov 22 06:08:19 probably Nov 22 06:08:43 dang couldn't they just include a big plus somehow by default Nov 22 06:08:49 they gave me all this other stuff Nov 22 06:08:56 email icons Nov 22 06:09:04 File > New > Vector Asset.

I mean a relative time picker Nov 22 06:27:31 as in 4 hours from now, not 4 AM Nov 22 06:54:31 get it from the material icons Nov 22 06:56:55 all the platform icons are ugly noe Nov 22 06:56:57 now Nov 22 08:31:31 Hi all. If I have data file and I want to edit something that already exists inside of it, how would I go about that? So far all I see is that I can overwrite the file entirely or just append to the end of it, but not modify specific things and leave other parts of the file alone Nov 22 09:05:41 Hello.. heloo .. hellooo ... is there anybody out there .... ? Nov 22 09:23:13 Hi, Adater with recyclerview. i have an image. If url_image is no empty loadimage with Picasso. when url image is empty i don't load image... but i have a strange bug. sometime in item without image a i see an image loaded Nov 22 09:23:32 a random image Nov 22 09:42:40 Views are reused, you need to always set an image Nov 22 09:57:53 any reasons why online gradle build taking a very long time? A local gradle distribution has been set so its not downloading a new one, not sure what its doing.. Nov 22 10:25:53 You can build with --info to see what it's doing different, but there shouldn't be any difference when all dependencies are available offline Nov 22 10:33:39 Sorry, a complete beginner at this. I am wondering if android-developer (linux) can run in a pure 64-bit environment, or if there is some way to get/make a version that can. Nov 22 10:40:46 Should be instructions for running 64 bit on http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools Nov 22 11:16:55 is it possible to monitor data consumption by an API within app Nov 22 11:16:56 ? Nov 22 11:17:33 I dont want the whole application consumption Nov 22 11:17:49 i just want the data bytes consumed by an api on button click Nov 22 11:41:38 android annotation folks: can @InstanceState work on List, not ArrayList? Nov 22 11:42:02 it complains it shoul be primitive or Serializable or Parcelable on List, but ArrayList works fine :s Nov 22 11:43:56 Ashiren, that's because ArrayList can be stored in a Bundle and generic List can't. Nov 22 11:44:15 @InstanceState is just syntactic sugar for manually storing stuff to Bundle and won't magically support datatypes that can't be stored there :) Nov 22 11:45:41 ah Nov 22 11:47:39 well, aa doesnt suck after all Nov 22 11:47:53 Hey everyone! I'm trying to make my app location-aware using a service, but I'm having some trouble with it. Fine location access is fairly important, but it's vital that I always have some location available. Any reading suggestions? So far I've set up a service with a binder and nonsticky binding, but it starts in such a way that it isn't created before the app attemps to access the location, gets a null and promptly crashes Nov 22 11:48:49 hrmf. Nov 22 11:49:02 Jargon_, why not ask FusedLocationProvider for last location? Nov 22 11:49:26 Also you must handle the case where you have no location. Nov 22 11:49:38 Thinking that you'll have valid location at all times is a huge misconception. Nov 22 11:50:38 What's the FusedLocationProvider? Nov 22 11:51:24 Ah, bugger, something came up - I'll come back later :P Thanks for the help so far, I'll be back Nov 22 12:57:51 hi anyone around working with ffmpeg in their android app? Nov 22 13:01:14 canvs2321, ad yesterdays setMultiChoiceModeListener(), CAB why do you thing theme coloring is not the right thing? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19038322/change-color-of-androidactivatedbackgroundindicator Nov 22 13:09:19 is it possible to monitor data consumption by an API within app Nov 22 13:09:20 ? Nov 22 13:10:00 Hi Nov 22 13:10:22 Do I need to create a custom adapter for putting 2 items in each row in a list view? Nov 22 13:10:51 anyone with new AS 1.5? Nov 22 13:10:59 I have crated a list view with one element per row. But I am not able to understand how to put 2 elements row wise in every row. Nov 22 13:11:09 any pos/neg experiences? Nov 22 13:11:19 rudolf_, I'd suggest you switch to recyclerview and use the grid layout manager. Nov 22 13:11:30 bolovanos, works well, has some neat new features. Nov 22 13:11:54 Mavrik, is there some problem with listviews? Nov 22 13:13:18 No problem. Nov 22 13:13:24 They just don't do what you want. Nov 22 13:13:38 rudolf_, I do not think that there is problem with listView - its just the way the thing you need is being done Nov 22 13:13:40 ListView is built to show a list of items. Nov 22 13:13:47 Mavrik, cannot find release notes Nov 22 13:13:57 "We've released Android Studio 1.5 to the canary and beta channels. If all..." Nov 22 13:14:19 Mavrik, I want a simple list only but with two rows in each row of listview. Nov 22 13:14:24 Should I not use it? Nov 22 13:15:02 rudolf_, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15832335/android-custom-row-item-for-listview Nov 22 13:15:53 did not checked the code, but in ff mode - it is the way you should go Nov 22 13:17:00 Mavrik, probably I will wait a little bit http://tools.android.com/knownissues Nov 22 13:17:05 bolovanos, all right. This is what I want :) Will try it. Nov 22 13:17:25 bolovanos, that page is horribly obsolete :) Nov 22 13:17:30 But you can wait if everything works for you. Nov 22 13:18:26 Mavrik, I was wondering if this version is the one with for example svg support... mentioned few months ago Nov 22 13:19:32 and yes it is working, but this would be helpful :) - so I would be hesitating a little bit if it is integrated in it Nov 22 13:19:46 IIRC the vector support is in 1.5 yes. Nov 22 13:19:52 You also have to update the Gradle plugin to 1.5.0 IIRC. Nov 22 13:20:13 We use AS 1.5 / Gradle 2.9 / Gradle plugin 1.5.0 and there haven't been any issues really. Nov 22 13:21:01 how about update - did it preserved everything from previous version? Nov 22 13:23:37 btw - is there less obsolete web for Android devel tools, than tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/version-compatibility ? Nov 22 13:54:05 hey to all anyone can help a bit with why i cant press the volume up button when in fastboot? Nov 22 13:54:18 Daimwn: and it's off-topic here Nov 22 13:55:13 well its dev thats why i try but anyway :) Nov 22 13:55:31 it's not app-dev Nov 22 13:57:04 I was updating my gradle manualy, but it is done on rare occasion (in my case once). I forgot how I have done that - is there straight forward guide how to upgrade Gradle, gradle plugin in AS? Nov 22 13:57:06 found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26254526/manually-install-gradle-and-use-it-in-android-studio Nov 22 13:57:40 Question - how do you upgrade Gradle, Gradle plugin in AS? Nov 22 14:00:58 bolovanos, you just update versions in gradle wrapper properties and build.gradle. Nov 22 14:01:39 hey ! i created a folder on my moto X phone and my app writes files to that folder... somehow when i connect it to my computer the folder pretends to be empty! what am i doing wrong? ^^ Nov 22 14:06:52 bolovanos, in the link which you gave, he has fixed the text of the first textview. I want both the text views non static. Nov 22 14:11:48 Mavrik, thank you Nov 22 14:15:04 rudolf_, those are keywords you should be after https://www.google.cz/search?q=recyclerview+arrayadapter&oq=recyclerview+arrayAsm=93&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&q=android+listview+recyclerview+arrayadapter Nov 22 14:15:43 find the solution which suits you Nov 22 14:15:57 Ok...I will read them. Thanks Nov 22 14:24:10 grees, you need to call mediascanner after write if you want the MTP service to update the file listing Nov 22 14:29:37 Mavrik: allright i'll try that! Nov 22 14:31:11 how do you bookmark in AS? Nov 22 14:31:49 nvm, F11 Nov 22 14:42:54 Mavrik: if i want to call the mediascanner from a normal java class , i just pass from my activity "this" as the context object to that class and call context.sendBroadcast right? Nov 22 14:47:45 Mavrik: okay that works, the files no appear on my computer, but not on the phone! Nov 22 14:48:29 Mavrik: currently I wirte to the Download folder, but on the phone that folder is empty Nov 22 14:50:04 Mavrik: sorry i wanted to say "the files now appear on the computer" not "no" ^^ Nov 22 14:55:01 doh... i think they don't show because they are not really "downloaded" Nov 22 15:44:29 hi guys, I am a newbie to android development and currently developing IME. I need to get ridoff the cancel button at the end of popupkeyboard, plz tell me how can I do that. Nov 22 15:48:55 hi Nov 22 15:49:04 does this thread stop after i send it an exception? Nov 22 15:49:05 public void run() { Nov 22 15:49:05 try{ AutoSolve();} Nov 22 15:49:05 catch (RuntimeException e){} Nov 22 15:49:05 Log.d("thread","stopped"); Nov 22 15:49:05 } Nov 22 15:53:12 that really really depends Nov 22 15:54:05 on what? Nov 22 16:03:38 anybody? Nov 22 16:03:56 how do i stop this thread Nov 22 16:03:57 public void run() { Nov 22 16:03:57 try{ AutoSolve();} Nov 22 16:03:57 catch (RuntimeException e){} Nov 22 16:03:57 Log.d("thread","stopped"); Nov 22 16:03:57 } Nov 22 16:04:06 sending it the exception doesent stop it. Nov 22 16:04:27 stop posting all those lines in the room, use a pastebin site Nov 22 16:06:19 and without seeing your AutoSolve code, just exit that method and the thread will complete. Nov 22 16:06:27 read jcip Nov 22 16:06:38 return afterward Nov 22 16:10:12 Bullet_93: you can get InterruptedException (or several related exceptions), anything that AutoSave throws or nothing if AutoSave() is doing time in kernel Nov 22 16:10:27 my autosolve is a recursive function that solves a maze Nov 22 16:10:38 my autosolve is a recursive function that solves a maze Nov 22 16:11:24 use a flag, then Nov 22 16:12:19 ..also i charge $5 worth of nuts per pm Nov 22 16:12:47 15$ worth of nuts by far xD Nov 22 16:16:45 I have a image view in xml, the image src is "@dawable/image1" now in my activity, when i click a button, i can change the ImageView to image2 with no problems Nov 22 16:16:52 However, if i dont know which image is currently in the view, how can i know if that image is image1 or image2? Nov 22 16:16:59 If its image1, then i want to setImageResource to image2, and when its image2, i want to setImageResource to image1 Nov 22 16:17:33 Anyone here use ffmpeg in their android project? Nov 22 16:35:46 ok i found it, i can use the Tag attibute to know which image is there Nov 22 16:37:15 @SimonVT The instructions on that page just say "If you are running a 64-bit distribution on your development machine, you need to install additional (32-bit) packages first" (which is what I am trying to avoid :) ). Nov 22 16:42:55 if i have an existing layout comprising several elements, what would i need to wrap that in to have a support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton float at the bottom correctly? Nov 22 16:44:46 curmudgeon: You're out of luck then :) Nov 22 16:44:54 arussellsaw: A FrameLayout Nov 22 16:46:28 i ended up using an android.support.design.CoordinatorLayout Nov 22 16:51:29 you use coordinatorlayout if you want it to react to changes in other widgets Nov 22 16:51:39 frame layout if you want it to only float Nov 22 16:52:44 mm Refactor on xml name does not change R.layout.xml_name in code Nov 22 16:53:56 no sry - it does :) Nov 22 17:06:35 What's a good way to implement a timer UI? I mean a relative time picker, as in 4 hours from now, not 4 AM Nov 22 17:06:56 Do I have to make it from scratch? Nov 22 17:07:31 SimonVT, I just don't understand the requirement for 32-bit capabilities. If I recall, they pretty much stopped making 32-bit desktop processors about ten years ago, and it seems that even the vast majority of new android devices are 64-bit now. Nov 22 17:15:10 hi guys, I am a newbie to android development and currently developing IME. I need to get ridoff the cancel button at the end of popupkeyboard, plz tell me how can I do that. Nov 22 17:33:06 Hi guys, i need some help. I want to change the position of one item inside a RecyclerView,e.g. send a item in a arbitrary position to the bottom of the recyclerview. I didn't find anything like this googling and that's why I am here asking. Any ideas? Nov 22 17:34:19 Is there any recyclerview method like this: Recyclerview.changeItemPosition(item,position) ? Nov 22 17:34:28 or into its adapter. Nov 22 17:37:29 Change your dataset and Adapter#notifyItemMoved Nov 22 17:38:32 thanks for the heads up, SimonVT . Got any example on hand? Just to make sure I follow. Nov 22 17:39:00 No example Nov 22 17:39:13 :( Nov 22 17:39:21 But reorder your List and call that method with the initial position and the new position Nov 22 17:39:55 seems straigh forward enought. Gonna try it now Nov 22 17:40:05 Thank you, btw. Nov 22 18:10:37 curmudgeon, has nothing to do with that at all, but simply building it as 32 bit Nov 22 18:10:55 because it's something of a pain to make sure everything works properly in 64bit Nov 22 18:12:35 pfn, you worked with ffmpeg on android anytime? Nov 22 18:13:27 no Nov 22 18:13:44 read docs, build. as directed, link into app Nov 22 18:13:49 pretty much done Nov 22 18:14:24 pfn manning just published a book on sbt Nov 22 18:14:34 did they finally Nov 22 18:14:49 "for beginners and experts" Nov 22 18:16:02 I dunno. about for experts, all the topics I want to deal with would never be covered in such a biij Nov 22 18:19:46 i'm trying to show a basing alert dialog on button click but nothing is showing http://pastebin.com/yZwhZDuP debugging goes through with no issue Nov 22 18:41:28 Did you set an onClick listener on the button and then pop that dialog method in your buttons onClick method? Nov 22 18:43:35 Hello, I'm looking for a sample code that uses both Camera and Camera2 API to support old and new devices.... any idea if something like that exists? Nov 22 18:48:58 or even a proper tutorial for camera2? seems to be highly undocumented Nov 22 19:05:24 jellybee: in the samples directory there are Camera2 apps Nov 22 19:06:22 samples/media/Camera2Basic, samples/media/Camera2Raw etc. Nov 22 19:06:54 Download the latest API samples if you don't have them with the SDK download manager Nov 22 19:12:34 Ologn: maybe it's me but those sample are hard to figure out Nov 22 19:19:07 jellybee: sometimes they have a general sample library type library/directory they keep referring to for almost all of the samples, and that can be confusing Nov 22 19:22:28 how can I change CAB menu - when Activity's invalidateOptionsMenu() http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#ChangingTheMenu is not available Nov 22 19:22:54 I am using AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener Nov 22 19:22:57 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener.html#onItemCheckedStateChanged(android.view.ActionMode, int, long, boolean) Nov 22 19:23:13 bolovanos, why is invalidateOptionsMenu() not available? Nov 22 19:24:47 bolovanos, because it is not implemented in AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener widget... Nov 22 19:27:32 You have an ActionMode with a Menu you can add and remove items from Nov 22 19:27:51 daniele_athome, I have implemented this http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#CAB Nov 22 19:29:01 SimonVT, I need to call something, invalidates menu like in Activity and calls onCreateActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu), where I am about to handle hiding, showing menu items Nov 22 19:29:09 uppon number of selected list items Nov 22 19:29:38 No, you just need to add and remove items from the Menu Nov 22 19:29:39 or maybe there is better way to do it Nov 22 19:29:53 invalidateOptionsMenu() just removes all items from a Menu and calls a method to have you populate it again Nov 22 19:31:49 SimonVT, ok - how can I add/remove (set visibility) of menu items in CAB menu? Nov 22 19:32:14 upon user interaction with list items? Nov 22 19:32:42 which means from onItemCheckedStateChanged(ActionMode actionMode, int position, long id, Nov 22 19:32:43 boolean checked) method Nov 22 19:32:44 Menu has methods for removing all items, or single items Nov 22 19:33:14 I assume you already know how to add items Nov 22 19:33:19 of course Nov 22 19:34:01 I know how to populate menu from within onCreateActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) - but i need to do it from I have mentioned Nov 22 19:34:22 from method onItemCheckedStateChanged(..) I have mentioned Nov 22 19:34:50 That method passes you an ActionMode Nov 22 19:34:56 ActionMode has a getMenu method Nov 22 19:35:34 thank you! Nov 22 19:35:39 Does the android sdk come with a few fonts we can use by default? Nov 22 19:35:43 Or just the default Nov 22 19:37:33 drose379, it comes with some fonts Nov 22 19:37:45 but theres no guarantee they arent changed (hello samsung) Nov 22 19:38:05 Where can I choose what fonts I use? The styles.xml? Nov 22 19:38:31 google iot Nov 22 19:38:35 -o Nov 22 19:38:46 Ok Nov 22 19:47:47 SimonVT, removing is ok, but it seems to me that it does not have inverse method http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Menu.html Nov 22 19:48:14 inverse? Nov 22 19:48:15 SimonVT, isn't it that problem which must be overcome with setting visibility to group of menu Items? Nov 22 19:49:46 pfn, is there a way to override settings picked up by gradle sbt plugin in huild.sbt? I have Proguard enabled for all buildtypes in gradle because of dex limit but I dont want them to run when protifying Nov 22 19:50:00 useProguard in Android := false Nov 22 19:50:01 didnt help Nov 22 19:50:05 you can remove specified Items with remove(), but there is no add function which would be able to return removed menu Items Nov 22 19:50:15 i set them to false in gradle-generated for now Nov 22 19:50:53 The first 4 methods are called add Nov 22 19:57:44 How can I add Material Design's ripple effect to my RecyclerView items? Nov 22 19:58:44 in the selector Nov 22 19:59:28 and set it as forground Nov 22 20:16:19 danijoo, useProguardInDebug := false Nov 22 20:16:30 thx Nov 22 20:18:33 So for a class that I want a shared instance of throughout the application, using a singleton is a good idea, yeah? Nov 22 20:18:37 SimonVT, of course they are called add - have you used them before? Nov 22 20:19:36 removeItem takes "int id", http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Menu.html#removeItem(int) Nov 22 20:20:06 unlikne all of add methods http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Menu.html#add(int) Nov 22 20:21:23 none of them takes single int id parameter Nov 22 20:21:32 bolovanos, im late to the party, whats your prob> Nov 22 20:22:54 danijoo, removing/adding (setting visibility) of menu Items in CAB - for more pls up - I do not want to spam it here with same text... Nov 22 20:29:29 hmm got it Nov 22 20:29:30 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17635499/hide-items-in-context-action-bar-cab-dynamically-when-multiple-items-are-selec Nov 22 20:32:44 Hey. Is possible to start an application through a bash script? Nov 22 20:33:30 over adb? yes Nov 22 20:33:43 you mean start from bash through adb, or in androids "bash" it self? Nov 22 20:33:43 :) Nov 22 20:34:04 bolovanos: preferrably local root shell. Nov 22 20:34:18 SSH connection to android-x86 VM, specifically. Nov 22 20:35:03 stmbgr, run 'am start -n packagename/package.and.activity' Nov 22 20:35:28 danijoo_: yeah, where to get the activity name? Nov 22 20:35:39 manifest Nov 22 20:36:02 also, if its your app, you should know it :p Nov 22 20:36:09 if its not, you are at the wrong place :p Nov 22 20:37:39 danijoo_: how come wanting to launch an app through on my own "device" using bash was hacking? Nov 22 20:38:07 who said thats hacking? Nov 22 20:38:12 danijoo_: wrong place? Nov 22 20:38:22 maybe package name would be sufficient Nov 22 20:38:27 stackoverflow.com/questions/4567904/how-to-start-an-application-using-android-adb-tools Nov 22 20:38:44 stmbgr, wrong place because this is "app developing channel" Nov 22 20:39:24 Well, bash scripting is "development" to me. Nov 22 20:39:55 app development as in develop your own android app ;) Nov 22 20:40:02 but I already gave you an answer :) Nov 22 20:40:19 ist am -start -n packagename/activity Nov 22 20:40:30 bolovanos: That monkey thing is what I needed. Thanks. Nov 22 20:40:36 maybe you can ommit activity if its the only entry point, no idea Nov 22 20:41:58 np Nov 22 20:46:14 hi Nov 22 20:46:27 tried to import my eclipse android project to android studio Nov 22 20:47:15 the eclipse project structure is barely compatible with gradle Nov 22 20:47:16 well, this was working but if I restart android studio I get this message Error:Protocol family unavailable Nov 22 20:49:21 I want to create a View that has two states, and some simple graphics: two triangles, one above the other. the state of the View dictates which direction the triangles would point to. I wouldn't want to use ViewSwitcher, or a ViewGroup instead of View. what other options do I have? Nov 22 20:50:58 perhaps it can be thought of as a ToggleButton. Nov 22 20:51:39 you could use a selector drawable Nov 22 20:51:57 with different images depending if the sate is switched on or off Nov 22 20:52:02 right! :) Nov 22 20:52:22 :> Nov 22 20:52:23 rather simple and lightweight. thanks Nov 22 20:52:30 yw Nov 22 20:55:01 I get a warning that I'm leaking an IntentReceiver Nov 22 20:56:55 danijoo_ is there a log file where the error is written in detail? Nov 22 20:57:18 I'm not sure about this. Nov 22 20:57:56 I only want to unregister after the alarm gets triggered... Nov 22 20:57:58 ChampS_, i guess so. but dont ask me where.. Nov 22 20:59:00 danijoo_ where? Nov 22 20:59:01 :p Nov 22 21:01:15 danijoo_, or.. http://stackoverflow.com/a/25526227 :D Nov 22 21:01:47 if this is enough for you :) Nov 22 21:02:35 I don't think this is the best solution, just thought it's funny :) there's a better one in the same thread Nov 22 21:09:06 Where do I report Play Store bugs? It's not part of AOSP, so can't use that tracker, can I? Nov 22 21:14:54 Is anyone present atm? Nov 22 21:17:38 * squirrel hides Nov 22 21:19:20 * yawkat is past and future Nov 22 21:20:11 https://goo.gl/E0diLY Nov 22 21:22:38 pretty much danijoo :( Nov 22 21:23:11 you should just ask your question if you expect anyone to answer ;0 Nov 22 21:23:17 Most people wait for something to happen (e.g., a question) and then respond. Nov 22 21:24:33 lets say you have an app, and user goes from Activity A -> B. Then app is swiped away. How come the app starts at A again, instead of B ? Nov 22 21:24:53 hey g00s Nov 22 21:24:59 hey perlsyntax Nov 22 21:25:15 g00s: I think because the swipe is seen as "kill the process and forget all state". Nov 22 21:25:23 Or at least "refresh everything". Nov 22 21:25:34 so its not just kill -9, its also kill task stack Nov 22 21:25:53 or maybe its just kill task stack if foreground service is going Nov 22 21:25:59 sounds like that's desired behavior Nov 22 21:26:06 means forget this task Nov 22 21:26:20 don't try to over think it Nov 22 21:26:25 it's a natural mnemonic Nov 22 21:27:02 g00s, the kill -9 implies that there's no state saving going on. Nov 22 21:27:21 i'd like to cleanly disconnect from BT devices Nov 22 21:27:30 sometimes they don't want to reconnect again Nov 22 21:27:40 unless i power cycle phone, device, or both Nov 22 21:28:38 its such a pain to edit layouts in AS.. Nov 22 21:28:48 pfn Mavrik thanks Nov 22 21:30:25 danijoo_, editing isn't, previewing or knowing wtf it looks like is Nov 22 21:30:40 pfn, yes Nov 22 21:31:09 changing merge tag to framelayout -> editing -> change back to merge Nov 22 21:32:02 im needing to store two sets of data for my application. a dynamic number of bags which the user can create/destroy where each bag has it's own set of complex items. i can envision doing the items as a database where each element of the item is a different column and each item is on a different row. but this would mean that each bag is a seperate database and something tells me this is not a smart way to go about this Nov 22 21:32:23 danijoo_, simple answer is to never use the preview :p Nov 22 21:33:11 someone suggested realm but outside of the docs there arent many tutorials or helpful things. I learn a lot better visually or interactively than i do with just reading :\ Nov 22 21:33:24 does anyone know of any good resources? Nov 22 21:36:54 Akayllin, you can do that with mysql Nov 22 21:37:10 android uses sqllite Nov 22 21:37:20 one table for bags, one table for items Nov 22 21:37:30 Akayllin, I meant sqlite :) Nov 22 21:38:04 new to databases. you can do different tables per single db? Nov 22 21:38:42 yes.. Nov 22 21:38:50 thats basically what i meant. like each backpack would be a different table but i was thinking that a db was just one table Nov 22 21:38:59 hmm okay. back to reading :( Nov 22 21:39:14 ie you have a row in your bag database. that row has an id Nov 22 21:39:46 in your items table each row has a field called bag_id Nov 22 21:40:11 if you want to get all items from a bag, you just receive all items where bag_id == idOfBag Nov 22 21:51:12 sweet thanks for the advice ^_^ Nov 22 21:51:27 pfn http://digg.com/video/brightest-flashlight-led-video Nov 22 21:52:02 I guess there is no limit as to how many Paths you can draw in a Canvas? my programmatical drawing experience can be counted in hours.. Nov 22 21:52:17 dragorn light bar for truck ^^^ Nov 22 21:54:24 danijoo_: I think tools:showIn works on merge tags Nov 22 21:56:45 SimonVT, thanks. didnt know about showIn Nov 22 21:57:16 seems to work :) Nov 22 21:58:41 There's a few more tools attributes that makes your life easier when designing layouts Nov 22 21:59:11 yeah im just going through the list right now Nov 22 21:59:20 but I knew most of them, just not showIn Nov 22 22:00:25 unfortunatly showIn doesnt help if you use merge because you want to inflate the layout into a custom viewgroup :( Nov 22 22:02:03 Do you guys use singletons at all when necessary? Nov 22 22:02:39
