**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 11 02:59:58 2016 Apr 11 03:02:25 Guys what's the most common way to show data in columns? Is it in a tableview? I need to have a dynamic amount of rows and columns. Apr 11 03:40:14 what should I do if I'm trying to clean the project and it runs in the background without ever finishing Apr 11 03:44:15 meoww: What is "it" referring to in that sentence? Apr 11 03:45:21 the background process that says "gradle build running" Apr 11 03:46:33 and when I cancel that background process, it starts another background process indicating the cancellation. And neither of them finish unless I kill android studio Apr 11 03:47:18 OK, so the "it" referred to Android studio. Apr 11 03:47:54 I do recall seeing this before. I think it went away after clearing the caches and restarting. Apr 11 03:48:08 clearing the caches! Okay I'll see to that Apr 11 03:48:15 thanks loke Apr 11 03:48:16 meoww: Yea i've never had a cancelation actually finish lol Apr 11 03:48:23 hmmm okay that's bad Apr 11 03:48:50 orbyt_: Yes. I _could_ be the case that the reason I never saw it again was that I never actually tried it :-) Apr 11 03:49:08 Hi! I need help. I'm using Android Studio, API 15. I want to "canvas.drawArc()". Studio tells me that I should use API 21. Any suggestions for API 15? Apr 11 03:49:27 weirdie: Do you _really_ need to target such an old version? Apr 11 03:50:07 yes, there are lots of old devices in Russia :) Apr 11 03:50:19 Theres 2 drawArc() methods Apr 11 03:50:21 use the older one Apr 11 03:51:50 do You mean drawArd(RectF...)? Apr 11 03:52:31 yes Apr 11 03:52:36 hey guys, any reason why I might be this when trying to refresh my token for access to google APIs? http://pastie.org/pastes/10793047/text Apr 11 03:52:58 I am calling "creds.refreshToken();" to produce this, where creds is a GoogleCredential object. Apr 11 03:56:32 orbyt_, Thanks! It works! Apr 11 03:56:53 Guys I'm trying to get the layoutparams of a ScrollView from the MainActivity's 'onCreate()' method but it says it cannot get the layout parameters from a null object. My code is here: http://imgur.com/0pvh4f7 . The error is: "Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.ViewGroup$LayoutParams android.view.View.getLayoutParams()' on a null object reference" Apr 11 03:57:47 Should I move my layout parameters call outside of onCreate? Apr 11 03:58:07 post the entire onCreate() Apr 11 03:59:16 problem is you need to call setContentView() first Apr 11 04:00:37 I am calling it first but I am setting it as the 'activity_main' -- should I switch it to the ScrollView? Apr 11 04:01:15 whole onCreate(): http://imgur.com/t9gZLsD Apr 11 04:11:57 Psychiatrist: your code is strange. for the nullpointer activity_main.xml does not have ScrollView with id hsvLayout Apr 11 04:12:33 Psychiatrist: setContentView twice is very strange. Apr 11 04:13:44 logcat,Yeah I know... I'm very new to this. I managed to get what I needed with this: ScrollView sv = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.hsvLayout); Apr 11 04:13:44 I didn't even need to specifically get the layout parameters. Thanks guys! Apr 11 04:40:55 hi guys is sha3 very heavy to implement in android apps? Apr 11 04:41:03 sha3 or keccak Apr 11 04:42:40 at first try to find java/android lib first Apr 11 05:13:15 not super proud of this lol Apr 11 05:13:30 how bad is using a parameter like this? Apr 11 05:13:32 @VisibleForTesting Context context Apr 11 05:13:43 Not. Apr 11 05:13:54 I use it so that I can mock out network requests in my mockData flavor Apr 11 05:14:02 in the realData flavor it's not used at all Apr 11 05:15:10 android is kinda hard to write tests for, don't you think? you really need to design for it Apr 11 05:18:43 You always need to design for testability, on any platform :) Apr 11 05:23:01 RustyShackleford: yeah. android wasn't designed with testing in mind. I have no idea how would I write unit tests. Integratoin tests are fine Apr 11 05:27:30 I have: int[] digits; digits = new int[10]; I try: Intent intent=new Intent(MainActivity.this, WheelActivity.class); intent.putExtra("digits",digits); startActivity(intent); Then in WheelActivity: int digits[] = getIntent().getIntArrayExtra("digits"); for(int i=0;i<8;i++){ recommendations = recommendations+String.valueOf(i+1)+" "+String.valueOf(sectors[i])+"\n"; } recom.setText(recommendations); And I catch java.lang.NullPointerException Apr 11 05:30:05 TextView recom; Apr 11 05:30:45 weirdie: I'd recommend you post your code to a pastebin and then show the full stack trace. Apr 11 05:31:29 loke: some platforms/frameworks are easier than others Apr 11 05:32:04 now I sorta see the appeal of dagger Apr 11 05:32:12 inject a context wherever you need it Apr 11 05:34:19 loke: ok, I'll do it later. Thanks. Apr 11 06:04:02 has anyone had a problem with hamcrest after upgrading to 2.0 Apr 11 06:04:08 Android Studio 2.0 Apr 11 06:33:17 Hi al, I'm looking for a solution to have a Fragment.IsVisible() method. It must work when a Fragment is used with a FragmentTransaction and also when it's inside a ViewPager. Currently, I have this, http://pastebin.com/9Aajzwhq which works good. Apr 11 06:34:48 But I don't want to use inheritance. Can i create something like Butterknife? Any advice? Apr 11 07:37:47 FrancescoV: You asked that question on Friday and received answers. Have you tried anything that was suggested? Apr 11 07:40:16 barq: yes I have but the answer wasn't working Apr 11 07:40:32 Your paste isn't working either. Apr 11 07:40:47 why not? Apr 11 07:40:53 Click on it. Apr 11 07:43:15 Sorry about that: http://pastebin.com/UQyd38sS Apr 11 07:45:38 Have you tried onHiddenChanged? Apr 11 07:46:15 Yes, isn't called when using a FragmentTransaction Apr 11 08:01:28 It is. Apr 11 08:39:33 Good morning developers :) Apr 11 08:42:04 now an app that could develop good mornings would be a win lol Apr 11 08:43:56 I have a question, I've never seriously looked at images for different screen resolutions, so my question is, how does the drawable folders look like for different screen resolutions. I know about mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, ...etc. But I saw a project that has also the folders for certain screen dimensions. A nice link would be nice. Apr 11 08:46:14 The reason I ask this is, I have a compass fragment. But the compass feature doesn't work well because I mistakenly used an image that was way to big, like 1000x1000 px large. As a result, the compass was stuttering and also it did too much work on the UI thread. But as I resized the image, it the compass was working much better. Apr 11 08:46:50 http://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen/screensizes.html Apr 11 08:46:56 well there is something like 600dp Apr 11 08:47:48 http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens-distribution.html Apr 11 08:47:50 lol Apr 11 08:51:51 Thnx guys. Apr 11 08:56:09 Hello. Can I request permissions (non runtime) from manifest based on build version? Apr 11 09:31:54 hi guys... a question if i can. I had write an application that add a prefix to a called number that works with an intent-filter and a broadcastereceiver. Can i load an admob banner while the phone is calling the number? Apr 11 09:32:42 and also admob pay also for number of views right? Apr 11 10:11:50 Hi everyone Apr 11 10:11:58 I have a small issue I could use a hint on .. Apr 11 10:12:38 I have these asyncTasks that I need to keep track of, and all my activities extend the same class.. so I added a public List to the parent activity class Apr 11 10:12:55 now in the async task, I am trying to add an object to the property Apr 11 10:13:11 my issue is, I do not know what activity I am on, it can be several Apr 11 10:13:24 activity.ongoingUploads.add(new UploadInProgress()); Apr 11 10:13:37 and the application crashes when running this line of code Apr 11 10:13:51 I tried typecasting the activity to the parent class Apr 11 10:13:58 to no avail Apr 11 10:18:46 hi, simple question (I hope): I have a OnClickListener, it activates a method that runs for a while (freezes app, while reading big file). I want to hide the button before the method is run... .setVisibility(View.GONE); does not refresh view Apr 11 10:19:49 I think you need to call invalidate on the view, try googling for that Apr 11 10:20:11 ok, will try Apr 11 10:23:28 neither button.invalidate() nor((FrameLayout) button.getParent()).invalidate() forces a refresh of view before(or during) the method is run. Apr 11 10:24:59 code is still: button.setVisibility(View.Gone);longAssRead Apr 11 10:25:15 ();otherStuff(); Apr 11 10:31:06 ok found something I think will be a solution: http://android-developers.blogspot.fi/2009/05/painless-threading.html Apr 11 10:46:22 for the long running task, you can make an asynctask Apr 11 10:46:33 which will have its own thread Apr 11 10:53:20 Better to use a runnable for long running tasks than an async isn't it? Apr 11 11:10:58 Anyone know if there's a way of setting the max length of text input in an EditText to the width of the field itself? I want under no circumstances to have two rows or have the text expand beyond the width of the field. Apr 11 11:12:11 try singleLine="true" in xml Apr 11 11:12:15 as for the other, i dont know Apr 11 11:12:46 You'd have to measure it Apr 11 11:13:31 NoirAvlaa: with a Paint object? Apr 11 11:13:34 Would be easier to just stick a character limit on it and leave it at that Apr 11 11:14:16 Yeh Apr 11 11:14:51 NoirAvlaa: Thing is , if I set a character limit it get's messed up. If I continously type characters without spaces until I reach the max limit I get further than if you type with spaces. So I don't know how it's counting? Isn't space a character too? Apr 11 11:15:22 Hmm Apr 11 11:16:07 Something like this Apr 11 11:16:07 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3630086/how-to-get-string-width-on-android Apr 11 11:16:14 Then add a textwatcher Apr 11 11:17:00 if (paint.width() >= editText.getMeasuredWidth()) Apr 11 11:17:09 Though that seems hacky as hell :P Apr 11 11:17:40 At that point I'd make a custom EditText class with that written into it so it's defined once Apr 11 11:20:10 NoirAvlaa: that looks good. Thanks Apr 11 11:21:15 :) Apr 11 11:26:00 I want to call a method from my Activity from a Handler-class. Is it OK to pass the Activity to the Handler in the constructor or will that cause problems such as leaks? Apr 11 11:27:27 What happens if the Activity is detroyed while the Handler class is still running? Apr 11 11:27:47 leak Apr 11 11:27:56 Answered your own question :) Apr 11 11:28:04 I can set the Handler null in onDestroy Apr 11 11:28:32 and removecallbacksandmessages Apr 11 11:29:31 How can I get the Handler to do some operations on the Activity then? Apr 11 11:33:03 Implement a listener/callback interface and use that to pass data back to the activity Apr 11 11:33:37 Process the task on handler thread, post message and handle it via interface Apr 11 11:33:38 Hi all Apr 11 11:33:43 Don't need an instance of the activity then Apr 11 11:33:57 Also, activity can be destroyed without any special handling Apr 11 11:34:51 And make class X extends Handler static to remove references to the Activity? Apr 11 11:35:10 Don't see why it needs to be static? Apr 11 11:36:03 The activity will implement the interface Apr 11 11:36:08 That's how data will be passed to it Apr 11 11:36:20 If I don't make it static I have an implicit reference from the Handler to the Activity. Apr 11 11:36:36 Post your code mate Apr 11 11:41:58 eh... gradle Apr 11 11:44:38 GRADLE!!! Apr 11 11:44:54 gordon_: please show some more enthusiasm Apr 11 11:45:29 I'm too old for this Apr 11 11:45:50 and why it wants to debug each build Apr 11 11:46:30 Because it cares mate Apr 11 11:46:51 Hey thepoosh Apr 11 11:48:22 How are you? Apr 11 11:51:07 gordon,Why you say your to old for this? Apr 11 11:52:11 Sorry i mean gordon_ Apr 11 11:53:43 NoirAvlaa: So when I then check if the length of the text is the same as the textfield, how do I stop the user from entering more characters in java? I have trouble finding such a method Apr 11 11:54:20 You just remove the last character Apr 11 11:56:08 NoirAvlaa: but they can still enter more text: http://pastebin.com/MkX2r8Y2 I simply print out a message when that happens , I could use an editText.cancel() or something. Apr 11 11:56:48 I suppose you could calculate the length of a character and the use that to calculate the max length allowed Apr 11 11:57:08 gordon_: try adding --configure-on-demand flag Apr 11 11:57:11 perlsyntax: HAI Apr 11 11:57:15 Sec Apr 11 11:57:23 doing shitty, thanks for asking Apr 11 11:58:43 perlsyntax: because I'm tired of boilerplate, bugs in libraries and long compilation ;) Apr 11 11:58:53 Bernzel_, Apr 11 11:58:55 str = descriptionTextEdit.getText().toString(); Apr 11 11:58:58 descriptionTextEdit.setText(str.replace(str.substring(str.length()-1), "")); Apr 11 11:58:59 gordon,i see what you mean. Apr 11 11:59:10 Removes last character Apr 11 11:59:12 gordon_,I see what you mean. Apr 11 11:59:40 thepoosh,np Apr 11 12:01:19 NoirAvlaa: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7f7cc20ee8b9a3ad9d6d25f986f592e2 Apr 11 12:01:21 gordon_,I thought i fl old sometime to:) Apr 11 12:01:26 feel Apr 11 12:01:34 NoirAvlaa: ok hold on! Apr 11 12:02:31 barq, if the handler's declared inside of MainActivity then you can just manipulate objects directly from the @handleMessage method inside the handler Apr 11 12:03:19 https://gist.github.com/anonymous/cf250a962e9cc1e77828311f7a37ae90 Apr 11 12:03:21 Or the Activity you want to use I should say Apr 11 12:03:34 Then I get a memory leak, though Apr 11 12:03:45 NoirAvlaa: So that .setText method should go into the if statement? Apr 11 12:03:50 Yeah Apr 11 12:03:52 Bernzel_, Apr 11 12:04:02 I do methodCall(mMyProcessor); and mMyProcessor then leaks context Apr 11 12:04:19 barq, 1 sec Apr 11 12:04:33 Because mMyProcessor has an implicit reference to the Activity. Apr 11 12:06:12 NoirAvlaa: yeah it sort of works. But when I reach that last character it begins from the beginning again. Apr 11 12:07:28 1 sec, sorting this handler out :p Apr 11 12:07:37 https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8e9fe617313fa0469790b5d9dfe8f412 Apr 11 12:15:14 barq, something like this: Apr 11 12:15:16 Handler: http://pastebin.com/WaT6Uaev Apr 11 12:15:48 Interface: http://pastebin.com/vHVdSwbW Apr 11 12:16:42 Why not pass a HandlerInterface in the constructor? Apr 11 12:18:24 barq, code is fast just to show what I meant Apr 11 12:20:03 Thanks, will see if I can adopt that Apr 11 12:21:18 pduin, it amounts to the same really, activity implements HandlerInterface Apr 11 12:23:21 Though you could also do it with a runnable Apr 11 12:23:28 That way I can make the Handler class static Apr 11 12:23:36 And a new Thread(runnable).start(); Apr 11 12:24:10 Yes, I know. But the code will be cleaner by not having to depend of knowing what a Context object is. Apr 11 12:24:51 Hmm I guess :) Apr 11 12:24:58 Plus you can get rid of the instanceof call Apr 11 12:25:11 That's just habit from Fragments I think hahaha Apr 11 12:25:22 And oyu do not need to throw a runtime exception because the compile does the type checking Apr 11 12:25:31 compiler* Apr 11 12:27:26 The listener will still be initialised without the check but will crash the app if it's used (if the activity that's passed in does not implement the interface) Apr 11 12:29:22 I need to make MyProcessor class static somehow, because it leaks context Apr 11 12:29:32 NoirAvlaa: I might be able to get around my problem easier if I knew the keycode for the "return" key on the keyboard. The key that appears instead of "Done"/"Enter" when using multiline text Apr 11 12:30:03 Bernzel_, what's it doing atm? Apr 11 12:30:41 Because implementing the keycode value is the horrible line of : Apr 11 12:30:44 But if I make it static then I can't get a reference to MyHandler Apr 11 12:30:45 (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO || (event != null && event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) Apr 11 12:30:54 Don't make it static Apr 11 12:30:59 NoirAvlaa: The app will simply not compile Apr 11 12:31:30 pduin, has AS stopped it compiling in this instance since last time I tried? Apr 11 12:31:30 How can I avoid the leak then? Apr 11 12:32:20 If you change the first parameter in the constructor to HandlerInterface, and you try to pass in a class that does not implement that interface, the app will not compile Apr 11 12:32:38 Ah, misunderstood you :p Apr 11 12:32:41 My bad Apr 11 12:32:49 barq, do what he just said :p Apr 11 12:33:53 Its always better to catch errors at compile time then in run time Apr 11 12:34:42 As I said, just a habit from default Fragment construction in the onAttach method Apr 11 12:34:43 I am passing "this" from the Activity to the Handler Apr 11 12:34:51 yes barq Apr 11 12:34:59 Activity implements the HandlerInterface Apr 11 12:35:05 Yeh Apr 11 12:35:41 hi guys Apr 11 12:36:08 i would create a overlay admob when an intent-filter is launched Apr 11 12:36:18 have u got a sample? Apr 11 12:38:27 So basically add all methods that I need from the Handler to the interface and then use the listener to call them to decouple the Handler from the Activity Apr 11 12:39:59 The problem is I still have a bunch of fields I am referencing from the Handler that belong to the Activity. Apr 11 12:40:26 Yeah, I only put bundle in there as it can take all data which you can then just handle in the activity, but you can change that to anything you want Apr 11 12:43:14 NoirAvlaa: that's not the one I think. The arrow looking key, this one: http://i.stack.imgur.com/rLYuP.png Apr 11 12:43:57 Aye, that's the one Apr 11 12:44:05 Next/return/enter/go etc Apr 11 12:44:09 That's the button that changes Apr 11 12:44:11 ah okey. Apr 11 12:44:29 i have returned Apr 11 12:45:01 I figured I can go with multiline and set the max length and the precision doesn't have to be so precise then. All I got to do is catch the "return" key or whatever to find when they have finished typing Apr 11 12:47:13 NoirAvlaa: So I pass all the fields I need to the Handler as well in the constructor? Apr 11 12:47:42 Erm, what's the handler doing? Apr 11 12:49:16 Handles messages that are sent from the Activity and MyProcessor Apr 11 12:52:23 Yeah just pass in what you want to process, then use the interface to handle what comes out Apr 11 12:53:07 right, gotta run out... New phone's arrived and I need an adapter for it :/ Apr 11 12:56:07 The problem is that myProcessor needs myHandler and myHandler neesd myProcesor Apr 11 12:57:24 if you mean that process must know the reference to processor, you can pass it in constructor Apr 11 12:57:58 if this is executed in different thread, you should use something like threadloop and notify what he have to do Apr 11 12:58:20 you can use a stack (synchronized) to add Runnable to executed Apr 11 13:00:02 if you have to do a task in parallel and retrive back value Apr 11 13:00:15 there is a class already ready for the job Apr 11 13:00:16 http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-cn/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html Apr 11 13:01:07 you have 2 handler (onProgressUpdate, onPostExecuted) that handle when job is updating and when job is done Apr 11 13:02:01 Passing in the references doesn't do it, crashes my app Apr 11 13:02:52 I get a nullpointer inside the Handler trying to access something from the Activity that no longer exists Apr 11 13:03:49 ok i do not understand the problem Apr 11 13:03:53 I pass a reference of a dialog to the Handler and when the handler tries to dismiss the dialog I get a crash Apr 11 13:03:54 can you repeat it Apr 11 13:03:58 i join right now Apr 11 13:04:04 so i lose something Apr 11 13:04:55 Handler of what? Apr 11 13:14:37 SuperStep: This is the code https://gist.github.com/anonymous/945f779b712166a6bb7dc76baf95c4d9 Apr 11 13:14:49 I get the NPE in line 17 Apr 11 13:15:25 Before I didn't pass in the progressDialog reference and just referenced it via the implicit reference to the enclosing Activity and didn't get the crash. Apr 11 13:15:29 ok Apr 11 13:15:32 so Apr 11 13:15:46 how create new instance of MyHandler? Apr 11 13:17:11 private MyHandler mMyHandler= new MyHandler (this, mProgressDialog); Apr 11 13:18:24 I also manipulate the mProgressDialog from the Activity directly Apr 11 13:18:48 let me think Apr 11 13:19:53 ok, if i understand Apr 11 13:20:30 the MyHandler reference throw NPE because mProgressDialog is already deleted from JavaGarbageCollector Apr 11 13:21:13 you show me the reference of processDialog is passed when MyHandler instance is created Apr 11 13:21:20 but i miss how you create it Apr 11 13:21:28 How I create what? Apr 11 13:21:35 DialogBuilder Apr 11 13:21:54 where is created? in Activity? Apr 11 13:22:27 if activity is delete in this process Apr 11 13:22:27 Yes in the Activity Apr 11 13:22:42 you can use static class to have reference Apr 11 13:22:44 The Activity still exists, it crashes while the dialog is showing Apr 11 13:23:03 can you paste the error? Apr 11 13:24:15 yes one second Apr 11 13:24:23 ok thanks Apr 11 13:25:09 https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7bd4cd32cd64071eda48dc6775ace59a Apr 11 13:26:00 can you make a test for me? Apr 11 13:26:10 Ah the reference is passed in before the dialog exists Apr 11 13:26:18 instead of this Apr 11 13:26:20 private MyHandler mMyHandler= new MyHandler (this, mProgressDialog); Apr 11 13:26:24 can you do this Apr 11 13:26:29 private MyHandler mMyHandler; Apr 11 13:26:35 Maybe it is better to use a callback in the activity to dismiss the dialog Apr 11 13:26:55 if(mProgressDialog != null) myHandler = new MyHandler (this, mProgressDialog); Apr 11 13:27:54 usually, i dismiss a NotifyDialog in Activity with callback from the same Dialog Apr 11 13:29:16 a Dialog have handler for something like 'onOperationDone(OnOperationDoneListener listener)' -> (in activity) dialog.dismiss() Apr 11 13:29:51 in the method i only call OnOperationDone.'call()' Apr 11 13:30:07 sorry OnOperationDoneListener*.'call()' Apr 11 13:30:33 I do the initialization of the dialog in onCreate now, testing now. Apr 11 13:30:38 but, im pretty sure the error is the you pass null in MyHandler constructor Apr 11 13:30:52 because i see Apr 11 13:31:02 Yes, that is exactly what happens. Apr 11 13:31:03 you create new instance non in onCreate Apr 11 13:31:23 but you create instance in class method Apr 11 13:31:38 so, maybe, you create the DialogBuilder after Apr 11 13:31:50 why would updating an image in a remoteimageview too frequently cause the device to reboot? Apr 11 13:32:12 dcope, never see this problem Apr 11 13:32:16 https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader/issues/908 Apr 11 13:32:33 'cre8ivejp' in that thread is the only other person online i can find that is seeing this Apr 11 13:32:37 i'm also seeing it on 6.0.1 Apr 11 13:34:55 Changing the initialization now Apr 11 13:35:23 ok Apr 11 13:38:13 Yes, this step works now Apr 11 13:38:19 thanks Apr 11 13:38:19 nice Apr 11 13:38:23 no problem Apr 11 13:38:45 But I still get the memory leak Apr 11 13:38:51 So need to pass more references to the Handler Apr 11 13:39:03 because you have circula dependency Apr 11 13:39:19 circular* Apr 11 13:39:49 yes Apr 11 13:40:06 you just set to null the pointer Apr 11 13:41:04 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1910194/how-does-java-garbage-collection-work-with-circular-references Apr 11 13:41:22 if the object still reachable JGC dont delete it Apr 11 13:42:02 without reference is no more reachable so the Garbage scheduler in nect schedule delete the object Apr 11 13:42:05 next* Apr 11 13:42:12 I am setting it null in onDestroy Apr 11 13:42:14 But still leaking Apr 11 13:42:39 try to call manually in android studio the garbage collector Apr 11 13:42:52 or you can use System.garbageSomething() Apr 11 13:43:04 I use LeakCanary and LeakCanary does taht Apr 11 13:43:11 Before checking for leaks Apr 11 13:43:28 System.gc() -> call garbage collector manually Apr 11 13:44:46 garbage collector is always called by the JVM when there is not enought space for allocate Apr 11 13:44:54 in this way you call it manually Apr 11 13:45:18 Yes, but GC cannot free Apr 11 13:45:28 Because there is still a reference to the Activity Apr 11 13:45:42 activity is still reachable? Apr 11 13:46:40 Yes Apr 11 13:46:57 The problem is the circular dependency, one needs the other so no matter which order I initalize them in something is always null Apr 11 13:47:53 but the activity remove the reference to the handler? Apr 11 13:48:30 MyProcessor leaks Apr 11 13:48:35 the Activity Apr 11 13:49:03 you just have to remove the reference non more needed Apr 11 13:55:49 What's the point of having to set a default value to the "getBooleanExtra()" method? I wouldn't be utilizing that boolean if it didn't have a value when reading it? Apr 11 13:58:41 Hello guys, I succeeded to set an alarm, but I fail to cancel an alarm. I did as follows: http://paste.ofcode.org/y6UdzKAsM2zFsbCnwsJVwf When canceling the pendingIntent is null. What am I doing wrong here? Thank you. Apr 11 13:59:37 Bernzel_, that you at least have a value. Apr 11 14:05:53 Number5: this is code for my old project for canceling alarm http://pastebin.com/ASU2Se16 Apr 11 14:06:28 afair the id (BATTERY_CHECKER_ID here) should be the same as the one you have set before Apr 11 14:06:57 pendingIntent is null probably because you supply null Intent Apr 11 14:11:34 Ashiren, thank you for sharing your snippet. The crash was solved by replacing null with an intent. I only can't confirm that the alarm is really canceled, I need to test is later. Apr 11 14:40:51 hithere Apr 11 14:41:46 any pain / problems with new AS 2.0 ? Apr 11 14:42:01 SuperStep: I fixed the leak now. Thanks for your help Apr 11 14:42:06 NoirAvlaa|AFK: also thanks Apr 11 14:53:33 bolovanos, not with AS2.0 Apr 11 14:53:47 the N preview stuff has given me some headaches though Apr 11 15:00:00 I am trying to build a docker image to be able to build an aar for me, and the base image I am using is doing a step to copy a folder that I am not aware of, and it is also failing on that step Apr 11 15:00:30 Specifically the "COPY tools /opt/tools" step in https://hub.docker.com/r/jacekmarchwicki/android/~/dockerfile/ Apr 11 15:01:18 Hmm I guess it is "${ANDROID_HOME}/tools" which gets added to the PATH in the previous step? Apr 11 15:01:37 If so not sure where the android-accept-licenses.sh comes from Apr 11 15:02:49 Both "tools" and the sh don't really have a source from which they'd come Apr 11 15:02:56 Is the script missing anything? Apr 11 15:04:55 Don't think so? It's building successfully on Docker Hub, and I am able to get it to work fine when I pull the image they built Apr 11 15:05:01 Building it locally isn't working though Apr 11 15:05:25 *shrug* Apr 11 15:05:31 Maybe they mount something then Apr 11 15:11:26 hmm maybe thanks Apr 11 15:15:18 Hello. My snackbar hides the view behind it.How can I make it resize the view instead? Apr 11 15:24:53 Random question: why with activities/fragments etc do we pass objects and information through bundles/intends? Why is it not a good pattern to just have setThing ? Apr 11 15:26:05 Taios: Android was architected that way, and with setThing on an Activity/Fragment there is 0% guarantee it will work. It often will, but it often won't as well Apr 11 15:27:01 Taios, bundles because of the lifecycle of an android app. Could be killed at any time, and needs to be recreateable. This facilitates a uniform way to reinstantiate activities. Intents allow for uniform cross app actions to be performed Apr 11 15:27:31 Ah I see ok, makes sense Apr 11 15:27:40 thanks! Apr 11 15:27:48 np Apr 11 15:29:00 vedu, I am interested in that as well. Perhaps try looking into how it is achieved with the FAB and the Coordinator layout Apr 11 15:30:15 truckcrash: the FAB behaviour is modify the y-coordinate. Can't do the same for a view that matches its parent Apr 11 15:31:25 vedu, CoordinatorLayout handles thus already Apr 11 15:31:53 Oh, you want a snackbar beneath your content Apr 11 15:32:03 pfn: yes :) Apr 11 15:32:13 that's easy as well, similar behavior, except resize the content Apr 11 15:32:20 rather than modifying y pos Apr 11 15:33:46 I guess he is wondering how to achieve this if he is using match parent for the height, but the containing parent is not resized by coordinator layout (i believe) Apr 11 15:33:50 I thought I am missing something very simple. like an XML attribute Apr 11 15:33:55 help Apr 11 15:34:08 how does GCM work? Apr 11 15:34:09 Felishia, ask Apr 11 15:34:14 oh, read Apr 11 15:34:26 or be more specific Apr 11 15:42:57 Felishia: can you explain the question Apr 11 15:43:38 what else do I need to install/ what should I change to fix this error: "error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1" Apr 11 15:44:33 meoww, that's a pretty fundamental library. You're probably missing the 32bit version since you probably wouldn't have a working system w/out it. So whatever your distro needs to do to install the 32bit libz stuff Apr 11 15:48:09 syntax wise, does this look correct? http://pastebin.com/bKRp1gzc I'm trying to find out if all my bools in an array are true or not. Apr 11 15:48:52 sorry Apr 11 15:48:54 I'm back Apr 11 15:49:16 truckcrash, thepoosh I'm trying to understand how GCM works, but I'm not quite good at java, so if someone can elighten me Apr 11 15:49:16 that did it! Apr 11 15:49:17 thank you!
