**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 01 02:59:59 2016 Jan 01 03:08:15 is it possible to bring linux 4.3 to android? Jan 01 03:09:13 yes Jan 01 03:09:26 the big problem is porting all the code necessary to run your device Jan 01 03:10:22 this guy built a custom kernel for my phone, but has decided to maintain it no longer because he does not have the specific model of the phone himself Jan 01 03:10:56 he is however maintaining versions of his kernel for other models of the same phone... I really would like to maintain the kernel for this phone if nobody else is willing to Jan 01 03:11:07 BUT, I am not sure I have the sufficient knowledge to do that Jan 01 03:11:42 I don't know what all changes have to be made and done in order for it to work properly with this model as opposed to the other one, and while I'm genuinely willing to learn, I have no idea where to start. What should I do? Jan 01 03:17:11 I have access to sony's repo https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-kitakami Jan 01 03:17:13 how do you draw text into a textview thats specified in your xml. i have the R. entry for it but nothing I do puts text in the view Jan 01 03:17:27 and his custom kernel repo https://github.com/BustyLoli-Chan/android_kernel_sony_msm8994_kitakami_r2 Jan 01 03:17:33 but how do I do? Jan 01 03:18:20 it looks like he even has a build script for the satsuki "my current model" but I have no idea if it actually works or will crash Jan 01 03:18:45 also I should probably hop on a linux host for this lol Jan 01 03:20:16 i have a textview that im generating programatically and i can write text into that but the textview i specify in my layout.xml is causing me problems. nothing i do will put text in it Jan 01 03:20:49 the view is a custom view with a 9 patch bitmap as its background but its NOT a dynamic size, its fixed by the space available Jan 01 03:21:26 so far all i can do is go OOM or just not accomplish anything Jan 01 03:23:00 tv.setText() doesnt put anything in the view Jan 01 03:26:12 internet why Jan 01 03:26:33 alright so my first plan of action is clone this repo run his build script watch it explode and go from there Jan 01 03:29:16 also I can't tell if this guys readme is relevant or not... Jan 01 03:30:21 how do you draw text into a custom view specified in xml. nothing i do is working Jan 01 03:30:36 tv.setText(t); nothing shows Jan 01 03:31:23 did you give the textview an ID? Jan 01 03:31:29 yes Jan 01 03:31:38 and reference it via R.adroid.id.whatever Jan 01 03:31:49 and i have a TextView tv = (TextView) R...... Jan 01 03:32:22 you should try (TextView)ParentLayout.getChildByID(R.whatever) Jan 01 03:32:43 whith whatever reference you have to your parent/containing layout Jan 01 03:32:43 ? Jan 01 03:32:51 I know way back in the day you use to have a layout inflator Jan 01 03:33:07 i dont need to inflate this view its already in the display Jan 01 03:33:13 i just need to update its contents Jan 01 03:33:20 nothing i do puts text in the view Jan 01 03:33:48 t=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView01); t.setText("Step One: blast egg"); Jan 01 03:33:58 yup. doing that Jan 01 03:34:01 no text shows Jan 01 03:34:46 hmmm Jan 01 03:34:51 do you have a source example? Jan 01 03:35:14 gimme a sec Jan 01 03:35:20 ill post one Jan 01 03:39:30 https://bpaste.net/show/69cda25c8a44 Jan 01 03:39:46 its FooView not fooView btw thats a typo Jan 01 03:39:49 I realize I might need the android SDK to build kernels/roms for android Jan 01 03:40:16 tbubble is a 9 patch Jan 01 03:40:34 is the last item/line in your list blank? Jan 01 03:40:38 the window is of a set size, not a 9 patch sized by content Jan 01 03:40:47 no Jan 01 03:40:59 all items in the list have content Jan 01 03:41:10 the magic number 6 goes away once i get it working Jan 01 03:42:23 i get no text displaying in the view at all Jan 01 03:42:32 nvm that shouldn't matter... you're added everything in the string together... and then setting it.... Jan 01 03:42:44 happy new year! Jan 01 03:42:51 is R.id.bugView and R.id.fooView also a type? Jan 01 03:42:54 now stop complaining about android! Jan 01 03:42:59 not for another 2+ hours lo; Jan 01 03:42:59 l Jan 01 03:43:22 its actually bugView i meant to change everthing to foo to protect the guilty lol Jan 01 03:43:51 the view is BugView and the class is BugView Jan 01 03:44:13 i spilled irish cream on my sweater and i think it melted it lol Jan 01 03:44:20 okay... I'm just fishing for ideas here... but did you think to call super.onDraw(c)? Jan 01 03:44:36 maybe after you've set the text... Jan 01 03:44:43 erm thats in there i must not have pasted it Jan 01 03:45:21 have you debugged to see if it gets to the "setText" line? Jan 01 03:45:51 Honestly, I'm probably of no help. Nothing I'm looking at here looks like it should be failing Jan 01 03:46:03 actuALLY the super call isnt in there Jan 01 03:46:10 dafq lol gimme a sec Jan 01 03:46:44 I don't know if that will fix anything, but I would think it to be important, otherwise nothing would get painted at all? perhaps? Jan 01 03:47:56 actually none of my other views call super Jan 01 03:49:26 truthfully I don't know if it's inherited by default or not Jan 01 03:49:35 it's something I've always included Jan 01 03:51:26 yup that fixed it Jan 01 03:51:41 super.onDraw(c) anmd now i see text Jan 01 03:51:58 but the font is fscked up and ther line spacing is also jacked Jan 01 03:52:48 cant see a setText that takes a paint as a parameter Jan 01 03:54:15 what is the paint for? Jan 01 03:54:22 to set the line spacing Jan 01 03:54:32 and the typeface Jan 01 03:54:51 erm actually the line spacing is set on the view itself my bad Jan 01 03:54:59 but the p sets the typeface Jan 01 03:57:33 tv.setTypeface(Typeface); Jan 01 04:01:30 will I ever become cool enough that people will but me phones just so I can build firmware for them? Jan 01 04:07:37 I am damn near forking useless :| Jan 01 04:10:55 can anyone show me how to install the toolchain on a linux computer Jan 01 04:11:07 http://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html Jan 01 04:11:18 I feel like this doesn't actually tell me anything about the toolchain and how to get it Jan 01 04:31:23 okay I installed the NDK Jan 01 04:31:57 I have the toolchains folder and stuff and I have the aarch64-linux-android-4.9 folder... Jan 01 04:32:29 what exactly am I supposed to do here so that I stop getting Jan 01 04:32:29 ccache: error: Could not find compiler "aarch64-linux-android-gcc" in PATH Jan 01 04:42:47 okay... I have gotten up to the point where I build the standalone toolchain with the script Jan 01 04:43:00 I have put it in my home directory and added the bin directory to my path Jan 01 04:43:34 I now have x86_64-linux-android-gcc.. but the build script wants aarch64-linux-android-gcc... Jan 01 04:44:14 I'm an idiot Jan 01 04:44:17 I build the wrong toolchain Jan 01 04:45:19 is crystax the best solution to port a c++ application onto android? Jan 01 04:58:37 Has anyone here ever worked with calDAV? Jan 01 04:58:50 I'm trying to get multiple calendars in that format and combine them to output one calendar Jan 01 04:59:07 but don't really know how to go about it Jan 01 05:03:40 as far as I could tell when working with it, everything about the calendar API sucks dongs Jan 01 05:08:36 BustyLoliChan: Where did you start?

Jan 01 08:44:26 bed time Jan 01 08:45:37 I cant seem to find a working link for the GDG Dev Kit Pilot. can anyone point me in the right direction? Jan 01 09:03:48 this boot image is 17 megabytes.... Jan 01 09:03:55 that's the lightest boot image I have ever seen : Jan 01 09:03:56 :O Jan 01 12:21:26 I have made changes in styles.xml such that my Theme has .NoActionBar Jan 01 12:21:45 and I created a Toolbar using the support library Jan 01 12:21:53 do I need to call setActionBar? Jan 01 12:23:20 Nick007, no. but you can if you like it Jan 01 12:23:29 setSupportActionBar() Jan 01 12:23:32 if you do, you can use all the getActionbar methods Jan 01 12:23:36 if you dont, you cant Jan 01 12:24:05 also menu will automatically will be inflated in this toolbar Jan 01 12:24:31 some people do it, some people prefer the new Toolbar methods Jan 01 12:24:50 will setSupportActionBar() work if I changed theme in Styles.xml to .NoActionBar Jan 01 12:25:29 I have parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" and it's working Jan 01 12:25:56 yes it does Jan 01 12:26:17 the theme tells android to not use a default actionbar. and with setSupportActionbar you set your own as a replacement Jan 01 12:27:07 don't forget android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize" on Toolbar Jan 01 12:27:17 okay... and I have included the Toolbar in my activity layout xml file as a widget... So now I guess I either call setSupportActionBar or I set the Toolbar as a widget... correct? Jan 01 12:27:49 you can do both Jan 01 12:28:44 yup I can do both... but I think doing both at the same time would create 2 bar things, am i right? Jan 01 12:29:01 nope Jan 01 12:29:15 vigilancer, oh Jan 01 12:30:01 I'll stick with adding it as a widget... Jan 01 12:30:33 you just conducting the way you will deal with toolbar - as widget reference or via actionbar api. any it will be one widget Jan 01 12:30:56 *any=anyway Jan 01 12:31:06 vigilancer, okay Jan 01 12:31:29 and... what do I do to access the current theme colors? I am learning to create a navigation drawer Jan 01 12:32:32 "?android:attr/textColor" Jan 01 12:33:01 got it Jan 01 12:33:17 heck, I love this irc more than stackoverflow :) Jan 01 12:34:01 depends on time of day and devs mood) but in general I tend to agree :) Jan 01 12:35:01 vigilancer, thanks a lot... you too danijoo_ Jan 01 12:35:39 hate those faceless "+1" buttons )) Jan 01 12:38:18 Nick007, my question would've been burried under downvotes because it's too "beginner" Jan 01 12:44:33 for the navigation drawer menu, I created a menu XML containing and Jan 01 12:45:05 now I am setting a click listener for the menu requires a MenuItem Jan 01 12:46:27 and the method which I am supposed to implement to override expects me to return a boolean Jan 01 12:47:11 what "boolean" am I supposed to return... I am going to code the listener to call the FragmentTransaction instance to replace a Fragment Jan 01 12:48:04 What does the docs say? Jan 01 12:49:08 I'm reading the docs... wait I'll paste a few lines here Jan 01 12:50:40 I'm overriding NavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener listener) Jan 01 12:50:49 The listener method is: abstract boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) Jan 01 12:50:55 Read the documentation, it's quite clear what boolean you should return Jan 01 12:51:01 for the method, the docs describe: Called when an item in the navigation menu is selected... true to display the item as the selected item Jan 01 12:51:34 So.. do you want to display the item as selected when clicked? Jan 01 12:52:24 To be honest, I don't know... I'm learning it and trying to have a fragment changed according to the menu item clicked Jan 01 12:53:13 "display the item as the selected item" - I don't think I'm understanding the words Jan 01 12:55:32 Try both Jan 01 12:55:58 I wrote some test code... running it now Jan 01 12:57:45 SimonVT, oh I see what it does now, I didn't even think about that Jan 01 13:53:42 he;llo Jan 01 13:53:44 I have an LG L34C phone that is giving Unfortuntely, the process com.android.systemui has stopped. Does anyone know of a way to get this to stop? The phone claims they cannot help me with the issue and it is too old for them to replace it. Also cannot afford a new phone Jan 01 14:12:55 hy all Jan 01 14:13:26 can you link me to a tutorial about creating Android widgets? I would make a weather widget Jan 01 14:14:29 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html Jan 01 14:14:49 Leeds: I have already found that Jan 01 14:15:00 good! problem solved then Jan 01 14:15:19 Leeds: and what will I need for a weather widget? I think that should refresh periodically Jan 01 14:18:31 Leeds: it would be better if somebody, who developed a lot widgets, would help me in 1-2 sentences, because my friend asked me to find informations about that and I don't want to do a lot research for this Jan 01 14:19:00 Leeds: I think I will need to connect to an existing weather site and download informations from that periodically, but I'm not sure Jan 01 14:29:39 yes, of course Jan 01 14:29:51 but that's nothing to do with a tutorial about widgets... Jan 01 15:00:28 Leeds: sry, my question was not correct then Jan 01 15:06:00 Leeds: and how to do that weather site and update thing? what tools will I need for that? Jan 01 15:06:29 Leeds: I think their names are collections Jan 01 15:08:24 I'm not sure what level you're asking at Jan 01 15:09:03 are you asking about Java implementation details, or what service to use, or... what? Jan 01 15:34:20 greyline: Leeds gave you link on widgets info, also you need: Service to update data and notify widget with new data, AlaramManager to schedule periodic updates, and BroadcastReceiver catching ON_BOOT to reschedule periodic updates Jan 01 15:36:00 vigilancer: oh, it's a very good summary. Thx Jan 01 15:37:17 incidentally, I'm possibly the only person here who has actually written and released an auto-updating weather app, though it doesn't have a widget :) Jan 01 15:37:52 Leeds: widgets have some gotchas, you should try to write it) Jan 01 15:38:04 Leeds: now that you said that, greyline won't stop stalking you Jan 01 15:38:17 Leeds, everyone who did the udacity android course did this :P Jan 01 15:38:37 danijoo_: everyone released a weather app? Jan 01 15:38:41 danijoo_: so those course worst to spend time ha? Jan 01 15:38:47 wrote it and put it on github i mean Jan 01 15:39:13 vigilancer, i think yes Jan 01 15:39:20 most stuff on udacity seems to be pretty good Jan 01 15:39:38 shmooz: I won't do anything about it right now, since I'm not an android developer Jan 01 15:40:05 hm, I thought this course is some sort of 101 Jan 01 15:40:08 shmooz: I have 2-3 totally different type works, and none of them is android related right now Jan 01 15:40:27 everyone should know the 101 :) Jan 01 15:40:42 greyline: you should focus on one thing at a time and get that done, instead of pondering other stuffs Jan 01 15:41:03 shmooz: in Hungary, I get only small money from 1 job, so... Jan 01 15:41:27 my condolonces Jan 01 15:42:03 shmooz: I teach robotics and game development in a university, I want to do telecommuting works in game development, and I will have a job in iOS Jan 01 15:42:26 wow, you shouldn't have to work so hard Jan 01 15:42:44 shmooz: and if I have a bit luck, I will be accepted into an award won game's development Jan 01 15:42:59 shmooz: I don't have girlfriend, so... Jan 01 15:43:03 what languages do you use to develop games ? Jan 01 15:43:16 that was funny Jan 01 15:43:19 shmooz: C# Jan 01 15:43:25 about girlfriend Jan 01 15:44:04 vigilancer: well, the girls I would like never interested in me, and I don't care about the type of girls who wants me Jan 01 15:44:21 you should skip it and go straight to wife, you'll have more free time Jan 01 15:45:01 vigilancer: and who should I choose for wife? I don't think I want a wife Jan 01 15:45:02 not should, just may) Jan 01 15:45:15 I suggest you stick with the right hand, you can quickly get done and be productive again without having to do all the other things that eat up your time Jan 01 15:45:16 vigilancer: it's a very hard decision Jan 01 15:45:32 Is there a way, that I can create a layout, with % of the height I want? Jan 01 15:45:51 shmooz: I always wanted to get a very talented girl, who's interested in video games and movies Jan 01 15:45:53 aindriu: Percent*Layout Jan 01 15:46:08 which layout is that? Jan 01 15:46:17 aindriu: percent support lib Jan 01 15:46:26 where do i find that Jan 01 15:46:32 in google? Jan 01 15:46:32 or linearlayout with weight Jan 01 15:47:29 i tried using linearlayout with weight but doesn't work Jan 01 15:47:55 because you weigh too much Jan 01 15:47:57 * Ashiren hides Jan 01 15:48:44 i put the linearlayout weighsums as 100 Jan 01 15:49:11 and i set the weight to 50 in one of them but it shrinks to invisible Jan 01 15:49:24 and height to 0dp? Jan 01 15:49:25 happy new year guys Jan 01 15:51:32 thanks, i think i got it working Jan 01 15:53:42 cheers, thanks a mil guys Jan 01 15:55:41 how do we create custom google maps? for example i want to create a map with only shows markers for hotels Jan 01 15:56:46 did you read the maps docs? Jan 01 15:56:56 yeah, but i couldnt figure it out Jan 01 15:57:07 i created a map by documents Jan 01 15:57:43 it shows markers for hotels but when i click on a marker, it shows its information on the same screen and there is also an search bar at screen Jan 01 15:57:55 i just only want to show a map and markers , thats all Jan 01 16:19:41 Can I use "anchor" links (or something to that affect) in scroll view that contains a textview? Jan 01 16:25:36 you would calculate that yourself Jan 01 16:46:18 pfn: that's what I was thinking. I will look into it Jan 01 17:25:26 should have good range http://imgur.com/BoaI6Uk Jan 01 17:34:30 g00s: expecially with two antennas Jan 01 17:45:15 Hi, I positioned out my layout correctly and it looks good on the design and works on my tablet, but when i transfer to my phone, the layout is messed up, and the LinearLayout with weights and text size is all messed up. Can anyone help? Jan 01 17:47:51 tiobe, all jokes aside .. http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html Jan 01 17:48:19 aindriu look up 'responsive design android' Jan 01 17:51:23 of course, Java is massive, we've all known that forever Jan 01 17:53:06 nat pryce talks about kotlin here http://natpryce.com/articles/000815.html Jan 01 17:55:38 I dont get the responsive design Jan 01 17:56:15 Can I make a dynamic font size? Jan 01 17:56:38 thats cheating :D Jan 01 18:00:08 aindriu start here https://www.google.com/design/spec/layout/responsive-ui.html#responsive-ui-patterns Jan 01 18:02:01 looks complicated Jan 01 18:09:51 I don't really get the responsive layout design pattern. I just want my design to be uniform the way I make it. I thought using weights on LinearLayout and using sp would do that, but it looks shit Jan 01 18:12:46 can I add a scroll Jan 01 18:14:50 I basically have several components, one under each other, but when I move between screen sizes it gets messed up, because it needs to scale. Can I place my items into some kind of scroll layout? Jan 01 18:15:45 what layout buckets are you using? Jan 01 18:16:44 Just TextViews and one editview Jan 01 18:17:02 wrapping it in a ScrollView will add scroll Jan 01 18:17:05 Oh wait, the scrollview actually works Jan 01 18:17:09 Thanks Jan 01 18:22:11 hello guys, i was trying this https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/utility/geojson, it says , use this : GeoJsonLayer layer = new GeoJsonLayer(getMap(), geoJsonData); , what should that geoJsonData ? i want to use places api but what is url ? Jan 01 18:25:16 how do i make an imageview an image smaller? Jan 01 18:25:43 smaller image or override width/height? Jan 01 18:27:01 smaller image Jan 01 18:30:35 make the png smaller or decode it smaller Jan 01 18:39:27 my android studio is stuck. i can't select components and the component tree is empty Jan 01 18:40:45 oh nm its back again Jan 01 18:56:04 in a scrollview I have LinearLayout and weighted items. How do I make one item larger because if I weight it more it stays the same Jan 01 18:56:40 scrollview only allows one child Jan 01 18:57:19 which is linearlayout ~ Jan 01 18:57:34 do you use a bluetooth headset? Jan 01 18:57:57 my galaxy s5 comes with headphones that have a mic, I use them all the time Jan 01 18:58:09 more weight should make the items in it bigger. if you apply the weight correctly Jan 01 18:58:25 but the cord makes noise when I move around Jan 01 19:00:10 When I press on an editable EditText that I am meant to be able to type into, no keyboard comes up to type in... what is with that? Jan 01 19:01:00 emulators use hardware keyboard by default Jan 01 19:04:56 how can i tell how wide a font character is? Jan 01 19:05:18 i can see how to determine its height, i set that! Jan 01 19:05:29 how can i tell how WIDE one character is (mono spaced font) Jan 01 19:10:29 RustyShackleford, then use a bluetooth headset Jan 01 19:10:47 for talking, I use a headset, for music, corded phones Jan 01 19:10:57 for exercise, bluetooth headphones Jan 01 19:11:21 you use phone for exercise :? Jan 01 19:11:52 * g00s never listened to music running, need to hear those rattlesnakes ! Jan 01 19:11:54 sure, run tracker, or just music in general if lifting Jan 01 19:16:55 I have several sections that prev and next buttons cycle through. The text is shown in a TextView inside a ScrollView. When I tap next, it always scrolls to the top of the next section. But the back button never scrolls. They both are using the same method. Jan 01 19:17:27 EDIT: back scrolls if you are not all the way at the bottom. Jan 01 19:21:31 scroll manually Jan 01 19:49:00 how do we use GeoJsonLayer layer = new GeoJsonLayer(getMap(), geoJsonData); ? what is geoJsonData there ? Jan 01 19:53:02 dcz: Look at the source (Ctrl+click or middle-click the constructor reference) or look at the documentation. Jan 01 19:54:03 how can i use my places api ? what should be that url to get sources ? Jan 01 19:54:32 i just want to show a map with hotels markers , thats all Jan 01 19:54:46 not a search bar or info of a marker Jan 01 20:02:45 I have a cheap Android tablet (an Insigna Flex). My computer (Windows 8.1) recognizes it, and I can send files to it just fine, but adb doesn't. How can I resolve this? Jan 01 20:03:09 Enable USB debugging? Jan 01 20:03:15 Mavrik: It is enabled Jan 01 20:03:52 replug and connect as MTP (PTP?) Jan 01 20:03:52 Hrmf, Windows can be kinda crap sometimes when it comes to ADB drivers... try toggling PTP/MTP/Charge only mode and see if device manager gives you yellow marks. Jan 01 20:04:17 also adb driver for windows Jan 01 20:04:23 BlueProtoman, install the adb drivers Jan 01 20:04:30 pfn: Where can I get them? Jan 01 20:04:42 google.com has a reference to them Jan 01 20:04:44 from your device vendor Jan 01 20:05:22 danijoo_: You mean that table with links to Samsung, Toshiba, etc.? Jan 01 20:05:56 http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Drivers Insignia isn't on here. Jan 01 20:07:44 BlueProtoman: omg first link in google http://adbdriver.com/ Jan 01 20:08:27 Ashiren: I thought you were referring to the link I just posted? Jan 01 20:09:50 is this your first link in google :? Jan 01 20:10:06 Ashiren: Not my first link, and newbies shouldn't just assume sites like that are legit. Jan 01 20:10:42 My links are suggesting installing the Google USB Driver (which can be gotten via the SDK manager). I'd probably try that, personally. Jan 01 20:10:47 Ashiren: Yes, it *is* the first link, but as TacticalJoke mentions, I'm skeptical of the site's legitimacy. Jan 01 20:10:56 TacticalJoke: I did install that, but my device is not being recognized. Jan 01 20:12:08 it is legit i say that. what else do you need than stranger approval? Jan 01 20:12:42 Ashiren: Thanks, your approval means a lot to me. Jan 01 20:14:11 BlueProtoman: Did you try 'Settings > Storage > ... (menu) > USB computer connection > Enable MTP'? Jan 01 20:14:15 Someone is suggesting that fixed it for them. Jan 01 20:15:26 TacticalJoke: No, but I *did* select "MTP" when connecting. I'll have a look. Jan 01 20:18:40 TacticalJoke: Yep, did it, nothing changes. Jan 01 20:32:48 you have to install the adb driver for your device on windowsal Jan 01 20:32:51 windows Jan 01 20:33:03 any other suggestion is absolutely wrong Jan 01 20:34:59 pfn: I can't *find* the driver. My tablet is an Insignia. Jan 01 20:35:10 But it's not on that table. Jan 01 20:35:47 google for insignia adb driver Jan 01 20:35:57 like I said, from your device vendor Jan 01 20:39:37 pfn: No dice. Jan 01 20:45:06 greetings and happy new year! Jan 01 20:46:51 happy new year to you Jan 01 20:47:22 srsly wish they would hurry up and release as 2.0 Jan 01 20:47:24 I have a question for the experienced: is it a bad practice on Android to create a SQL database that uses lots of relations? e.g. Instead of row="id, name, profession, favorite_food", having three tables: "id, name", "id, profession", "id, favorite_food" and linking them in another table: row="id, id_name, id_profession, id_favorite_food"? Jan 01 20:47:52 my debug sessions are "click debug... wait 5 minutes for it to compile and load into the emulator, wait another 2 minutes for it to run" .. . . Jan 01 20:48:24 trying to draw a line between data that are composed together and data that are pre-composed Jan 01 20:48:40 hesperaux if you are asking about normalization, i dont think it has anything to do with android. its more about convenience and replication Jan 01 20:48:56 anybody here worked on google maps ? Jan 01 20:49:54 g00s, hi! I'm not familiar with the term "normalization." But the reason I was asking is whether there is a performance problem doing lots of table joins, or separate lookups in software. Namely, a performance hit that prevents justifying the convenience of isolated datums. Jan 01 20:51:14 hesperaux sqlite has a query analyzer, you can measure the alternatives yourself Jan 01 20:51:16 right now I've got a table with some columns that are IDs that point to other data objects. Other columns just contain the data itself. Not sure when to do one or the other Jan 01 20:51:44 impossible to say which of your alternatives will be better at this point, depends on indexing, worload, etc Jan 01 20:51:52 g00s, I guess that's the only answer that makes sense... however it would require I write some code just to run that kind of test, right? Jan 01 20:52:06 no you can use the sqlite3 command line Jan 01 20:52:11 hmm Jan 01 20:52:20
