**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Apr 27 02:59:58 2016 Apr 27 03:53:08 hey guys,I has some trouble,I get all video using this String[] projection = { MediaStore.Video.Media._ID}; Apr 27 03:53:08 Cursor cursor = new CursorLoader(contexts, MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, projection,null,null, null).loadInBackground(); Apr 27 03:53:29 but how can I play it in videoview Apr 27 03:59:46 What's a practical way to capture text outputted by a command such as ping? If I send a ping, how can I capture whether it's successful and/or the speed it was at? Apr 27 04:06:43 I want to make a todo list app that stores data in the cloud without having to write my own rest api Apr 27 04:07:19 it seems like google cloud services or aws has something I can use Apr 27 04:07:27 but I'm not sure which service does what I need Apr 27 04:07:30 BigZ: look this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3905358/how-to-ping-external-ip-from-java-android Apr 27 04:09:12 thanks PC2K Apr 27 04:11:44 RustyShackleford: I dont know what your kinda data you store in the server,but you can give this https://www.firebase.com/ a try Apr 27 04:12:36 BigZ: yw Apr 27 04:16:33 also saw firebase Apr 27 04:17:13 I mean this is just a toy project. I'd like a service that handles accounts/authentication and database-like storage Apr 27 04:17:35 oh also, I want to implement auto sync Apr 27 04:18:02 for example if I add a google now card on my tablet, it shows up on my handset in a second or so Apr 27 04:22:24 firebase does seem like exactly what I want Apr 27 05:02:14 for some reason i can't compile my project on android studio 2 Apr 27 05:03:54 my condolences Apr 27 05:05:19 Error:Uncaught translation error: com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: local variable type mismatch: attempt to set or access a value of type java.lang.Object using a local variable of type int. This is symptomatic of .class transformation tools that ignore local variable information. Apr 27 05:06:32 does this make any sense? Apr 27 05:08:10 Nick-S using proguard ? Apr 27 05:08:21 i guess Apr 27 05:08:53 howdy Apr 27 05:09:49 is that bad? Apr 27 05:17:50 probably you should add some options to it Apr 27 05:26:21 gladly i will which ones Apr 27 05:28:36 the thing is that it was not needed on previous 1.x android studio Apr 27 05:29:30 so turn off proguard too see if its the culprit Apr 27 05:32:07 my project consists of an android library and an app, should i do it for both or app only? Apr 27 05:33:29 actually how do i turn off proguard Apr 27 05:45:51 the 2.0 emulator is awesome Apr 27 05:46:09 its about time we had a good emulator Apr 27 05:47:42 the new AS anygood? Apr 27 05:47:44 stable? Apr 27 05:48:57 it broke my project Apr 27 05:49:15 i can't find on google how to turn off proguard, does minifyEnabled turn off proguard? Apr 27 05:49:41 alex_PP: use it Apr 27 05:50:29 I've been using it 40+ hours per week, its definitely stable Apr 27 05:51:45 cool Apr 27 05:51:57 I'll sort that out this afternoon then Apr 27 05:52:15 haven't been able to get the old emulator working recently Apr 27 05:52:33 you will need to install a recent version of haxm Apr 27 05:53:00 the new emulator takes literally all of the frustration away from using the emulator Apr 27 06:05:33 is the minifyEnabled false is turning off proguard? Apr 27 06:05:41 if so then my problem persists Apr 27 06:16:44 how 2.0 emulator vs genymotion ? Apr 27 06:21:00 ayyy Apr 27 06:21:24 https://corner.squareup.com/2016/03/certificate-pinner-vulnerability.html Apr 27 06:21:30 dubya tee eff m8? Apr 27 06:23:52 I am trying to use a third party module in my android studio project (https://github.com/iPaulPro/aFileChooser), but I'm having trouble importing, by hand or through android studio. I have tried putting it in the project directory, and adding 'include ":aFileChooser"' but i'm still not able to import (symbol can't be resolved). Can anyone help? Apr 27 06:24:23 post the link in a clickable way Apr 27 06:25:31 aaron are u defining the activity in ur manifest Apr 27 06:25:37 aarondabomb: build gradle again Apr 27 06:26:22 no you need to do this https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser#android Apr 27 06:26:32 see the steps done there for importing dropbox chooser, do the same Apr 27 06:27:29 you need to use import com.ipaulpro.afilechooser.FileChooserActivity Apr 27 06:27:44 and define in manifest Apr 27 06:27:56 that's not going to work if the project isn't included correctly as a dependency Apr 27 06:28:09 correctically Apr 27 06:28:23 aarondabomb: that's not a gradle project yet Apr 27 06:28:45 it only has a .project file, which is the old eclipse project file Apr 27 06:30:31 Odaym he said he put in the project directory, which im assuming is src? idk Apr 27 06:31:04 I'd just start over, remove any mention of it anywhere and do like you do with Dropbox Chooser Apr 27 06:31:16 adding it a new module, you can specify if it's an Eclipse project too Apr 27 06:32:30 it really doesn't need a library though, the code for it is really simple Apr 27 06:32:35 Sorry guys, been trying to figure this out. So, starting over, I have their module copied into my project directory (with the name of the application, and which contains the src, gradle, build directories, etc) Apr 27 06:33:20 Odaym: I assumed it would not be difficult, but my expectations have been thwarted so far :) I am not super experienced with android studio or android development, which may be the problem Apr 27 06:33:33 thanks all for replies so far Apr 27 06:33:35 the answers are above, try Apr 27 06:35:34 well to me it's easy i guess, maybe not to you Apr 27 06:35:44 I've been copy/pasting it since I heard of it :P Apr 27 06:35:59 google "how to open file chooser android", copy, paste, make millions Apr 27 06:38:28 I really feel like I've followed these steps of importing module, adding dependencies, and then watching gradle fail to build (or even sync properly, with seemingly simple solutions that I can't get to work). So, for now, I'm pivoting to using a simple activity rather than an external dependency. Will need to figure that out at somepoint though Apr 27 06:38:53 ive used the same lib Apr 27 06:38:53 you tried the steps in the Dropbox link? Apr 27 06:38:59 it's impossible not to work Apr 27 06:40:53 aarondabomb: use this one, its easier to implement Apr 27 06:40:55 code.google.com/p/android-file-chooser Apr 27 06:43:08 lsass: appreciate the recommendation. Currently trying this one: http://stackoverflow.com/a/13986063 Apr 27 06:43:45 looks good Apr 27 06:51:34 Alright, so this should be super simple, and I'm still having issues. I have created a new file called FileDialog.java and included in my src directory with my MyAppActivity. However, when I try to do import com.MyApp.FileDialog; I get "error: cannot find symbol class FileDialog". Any clue? Apr 27 06:51:55 just kidding, I messed up :) Apr 27 06:54:59 keep trying man Apr 27 07:17:16 man, Android Studio STILL takes you to the erroneous generated XML file whenever you encounter an XML error Apr 27 07:19:05 someone be good citizen and submit as bug :P Apr 27 07:20:00 nvm Apr 27 07:45:38 I'll tell you a bug Apr 27 07:45:58 On emulators/AVDs with 512MB RAM Apr 27 07:46:28 When you go into live wallpapers in settings, if there are dozens of live wallpapers you're scrolling through... Apr 27 07:46:33 You get an ANR Apr 27 07:46:45 Hello, can anyone help me with a problem initiliazing google play services save game functionality in unity. We already using realtime multiplayer and it works. We also enabled save games in developer console 24+ hours ago, but we get an error when calling SavedGame.OpenWithAutomaticConflictResolution. It says we need to enable saved games (which we have enabled) Apr 27 07:46:52 They didn't scrap and recycle the views that went off-screen Apr 27 08:15:07 i reverted to 1.5.1 Apr 27 08:15:09 it works Apr 27 08:16:30 Ologn hahahaha thats awesome ! Apr 27 08:19:19 in Google Fit even, there's a major bug where you try to refresh the data a lot Apr 27 08:19:45 no actually when you swipe between the metrics circles very quickly Apr 27 08:20:18 maybe fixed now, was 3 weeks ago Apr 27 08:28:00 I am planing on building a settings profile system. i thought about using SharedPreferences and a different "name" for each profile. Is there a way to enumerate all names used for saving SharedPreferences? Apr 27 08:28:17 is 2.1 usable ? Apr 27 08:31:43 anybody else have problems with emulators (or physically connected devices) just disconnecting randomly in DDMS (Android Studio)? Apr 27 08:36:50 last_staff, yes Apr 27 08:37:02 it's probably because of adb Apr 27 08:37:40 or a combination of adb and the avd, I gather Apr 27 08:38:09 since, so far, the only workaround I have is to hard reboot the emulator Apr 27 08:38:38 that is, shutting down -> close emulator window -> close DDMS -> start emulator -> start DDMS Apr 27 08:39:30 which, I think, takes around two-three minutes altogether. Granted, it's not that long, but considering it happening within 5 minutes, for 8 hours, that becomes..... Apr 27 08:41:54 ...3.2 hours Apr 27 08:43:40 did anybody in there use videoview Apr 27 08:43:53 they bugs as hell Apr 27 08:44:28 if videoview has an alternative Apr 27 08:44:32 ? Apr 27 08:46:01 wehell....according to my presumably wrong calculations (I can never remember the right formulae), that's 40% of a single day lost, on just reconnecting the emulator to ddms Apr 27 08:46:30 and that's not including the time used to try to figure out other possible solutions in there Apr 27 08:46:32 why dont u use genymotion,it's lot of faster Apr 27 08:47:10 it's also further away from stock hardware Apr 27 08:47:41 and there are no images for 4.0.3/4.0.4 Apr 27 08:48:05 not sure about play services; can't remember Apr 27 08:48:42 last time I use genymotion they has 4.0.4 Apr 27 08:49:06 I actually do have genymotion installed. It's pretty much VirtualBox with a different skin Apr 27 08:49:07 now I connect direct to my phone not with emu anymore Apr 27 08:49:13 from what I can see Apr 27 08:49:33 PC2K: cheah, that's often the better choice anyway Apr 27 08:49:47 yep ^^ Apr 27 08:50:08 it's not without reason I haven't upgraded phone_1 from jelly, and phone_2 from kitkat Apr 27 08:50:15 and I don't have a phone_3 Apr 27 08:51:53 my main problem, though, is that both those phones are rooted (and subsequently pretty heavily modified), and present a lot of corner cases because of root - when all I want, and need, is to test near-stock functionality Apr 27 08:53:39 well, not that heavily, actually - but there is functionality needed which I've turned off, and I know more than the main devs as to why this happens, which I find funny Apr 27 08:54:03 maybe the better word actually is 'ironic', in this case Apr 27 08:54:15 if you work for a company they can give you some phone you can test with Apr 27 08:54:23 not need buy for your own Apr 27 09:01:16 Their response: "Don't need physical phones. That's why we use emulators" Apr 27 09:01:16 Response in my head: /facepalm Apr 27 09:01:53 Maybe they'll come around once I present numbers. Management seems to love numbers Apr 27 09:04:40 should I use this https://github.com/lipangit/jiecaovideoplayer instead of videoview Apr 27 09:09:11 well, I just crunched some numbers.... Apr 27 09:11:13 given what I believe is a standard yearly developer salary of US $85k, together with that 40% of lost time because of emulator issues + rooted phone problems, buying a phone has a return of investment of 1.5 weeks Apr 27 09:12:34 for a team of 5, and 5 phones, still at 1.5 weeks....yeah. Apr 27 09:15:09 ...I made a mistake. A salary of 85k has a return on investment on 1 week and 1 day Apr 27 09:16:19 sparse array is so cool Apr 27 09:16:28 that said, it seems the US median of a software developer salary is 68k, which coincidentally enough, actually gives me 1.5 weeks (1 week and 3 days) for the return on investment Apr 27 09:16:53 I don't see any bugs in video view, I've used it Apr 27 09:18:44 Odaym: I still prefer hashmaps, despite the lack of gaps in indices and lower memory efficiency Apr 27 09:18:54 neh Apr 27 09:19:03 neva Apr 27 09:19:10 heh Apr 27 09:19:18 *hehe Apr 27 09:27:23 so last_staff living in US ? that my dream salary hehe Apr 27 09:27:35 its not net Apr 27 09:27:49 there's taxes and shit Apr 27 09:29:09 25% Apr 27 09:30:08 according to this at least, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States Apr 27 09:31:36 gradle just told me this "For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to more than 2048 MB." Apr 27 09:31:42 seems excessive, no? Apr 27 09:31:57 gradle doesn't talk like that Apr 27 09:32:30 :P Apr 27 09:39:28 that AS 2.1 tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOz_yr8Yxq8 Apr 27 09:41:50 alex_PP, depends on size of your project Apr 27 09:41:54 I just tried jack again, it's just broken Apr 27 09:41:55 for us it's 6GB Apr 27 09:43:01 I see, video explians Apr 27 09:47:53 Well, hopefully I/O means announcement of gradle-experimental -> Gradle so we finally get NDk Apr 27 09:51:52 hype Apr 27 09:59:48 speaking of genymotion... Apr 27 10:00:28 ...does anyone know how to create appliances in VBox, then 'copy'/'export' it to genymotion? Apr 27 10:01:09 could it be just as simple as installing android-x86 as usual, then basically copying the whole thing to the genymotion folder? Apr 27 10:01:23 provided it's been created as .ova, I assume Apr 27 10:01:35 the latest genymotion you can drag and drop into it, not sure if APK or other Apr 27 10:44:11 hey guys Apr 27 10:44:44 i upgraded to android studio 2.1 and my app can not be runned anymore Apr 27 10:44:56 someone else also having these kind of issues? Apr 27 10:45:41 do i need to use gradle 2.1 also then? Apr 27 10:48:19 sasos90: what's the error? Apr 27 10:52:31 Error:Error converting bytecode to dex: Apr 27 10:52:35 Cause: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompatIcs; Apr 27 10:53:36 i cleaned the repo.. removed the content in build/ folder.. rebuild it.. but ther error is still there Apr 27 11:10:05 How can I save ViewPager's state, ie, if I create an adapter in onCreate of activity and attach it to ViewPager, it creates x fragments for x pages. Now when user rotates the screen, the adapter is created and so are the fragments, right? How do I avoid this? Apr 27 11:10:32 Or are they not recreated and FragmentManager still reuses them? Apr 27 11:16:14 I am planing on building a settings profile system. i thought about using SharedPreferences and a different "name" for each profile. Is there a way to enumerate all names used for saving SharedPreferences? Apr 27 11:16:33 Can I access the datadirectory for my application and enumerate the files myself? Apr 27 12:07:46 I want this animation http://pastebin.com/BMzP6Qt2 to "fade in" in addition to it's "fade out" behavior that it currently has. Any ideas? Apr 27 12:32:37 Can anybody here help me with proper use of DECLARE_META_INTERFACE? Apr 27 12:32:52 There must be something simple I'm missing. Apr 27 12:35:31 what is the event caused by sliding NavigationView Apr 27 12:36:05 I need to refresh the content before sliding it open Apr 27 13:28:54 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=208295 < for those that get an issue after updating AS to 2.1 and get a weird error "Invalid version: 12.0.2753695 beta 1" it relates to having the ndk-bundle installed. Apr 27 13:29:56 Hey is there any way to clone the audio input stream from tinyALSA (or whatever snddriver) to guarantee there is no preprocessing done to the sound? Apr 27 13:48:15 When I intentionally trigger an IOException from btConnect, that I get the stack trace from the Log.e call, but the error message Snackbar doesn't pop up. When I allow a connection to be established, the success message Snackbar shows just fine. What gives?

Apr 27 13:54:42 I feel like as your json database gets larger, it must slow down Apr 27 13:56:48 Hi, i'm looking for a way to continously pass audio data generated in a class to a playback class using AudioTrack. I 'm trying to use a LinkedBlockingQueue to achieve this, but the sound is nont continous and has a 'pulsating' quality to it. I suppose I have timing issues? Is there a better way to send m ydata? Apr 27 13:57:53 SimonVT: oh duh, thanks lol Apr 27 13:59:28 freiform, I use linkedblockingqueue for my audio output queue Apr 27 14:00:46 http://eclipser.xmms2.org/git/xmms2-android.git/tree/src/org/xmms2/server/plugins/Output.java it's a bit specific to xmms2 though but it should give you an idea, maybe Apr 27 14:01:56 Zharf: I use a loop to create white noise in blocks of fs samples and write a finished block to my queue. my playback class reads this and passes it to the AudioTrack. Maybe this is the wrong implementation. I'll have a look at your link. Apr 27 14:02:40 freiform, only real "trick" I have there is the pre-allocated byte buffers Apr 27 14:02:47 allocating them on the fly is a bad idea Apr 27 14:04:10 line 282 is the playback loop Apr 27 14:07:02 Zharf: I see, you're doing a lot in terms of timing and synchronization. I'm just throwing ByteArrays at my Queue and poll for them at the other end. Maybe that's the problem. Apr 27 14:07:34 freiform, if you don't recycle your buffers, you might run into issues with GC Apr 27 14:09:10 freiform, and I don't start playing before I have at least a few buffers available Apr 27 14:09:19 (line 223) Apr 27 14:10:02 Zharf: I only get one or two empty frames in the beginning, but i should probably catch that. What do you mean by recycling buffers? Apr 27 14:10:02 off to sauna now, I'll be back in about half an hour or so Apr 27 14:10:10 ah, have fun! Apr 27 14:10:29 freiform, check how the "free" field is used Apr 27 14:10:45 will do, thanks. Apr 27 14:23:12 firebase is kinda awesome Apr 27 14:23:24 I implemented storage in like 10 minutes Apr 27 14:33:27 freiform, I'm back Apr 27 14:35:31 Zharf: wb. Liek you assumed, the problem was that i allocated my bytebuffer outside my loop, overwriting it with each iteration. ;) Apr 27 14:35:51 \o/ Apr 27 14:36:37 I once read that an array in Java is alway call-by-reference.. I I just had remembered.. Apr 27 14:44:45 everything in Java is by reference Apr 27 14:45:00 rather reference value Apr 27 14:45:18 primitives aren't references, and thus exempt Apr 27 14:47:07 anyone have a contrary belief that displaying html with no images and basic tags is better with textview than webview? the views would be in a recycled list as well. Apr 27 14:48:02 TextView is far lighter than webview Apr 27 14:55:07 seems like TextView doesn't support li though...dang Apr 27 15:04:34 do you guys use a "Restore Purchases" button for iap products combined with SharedPreferences or just loop through users purchase history on startup? Apr 27 15:15:39 hey, what is up with byte[] data from onPreviewFrame, i try to do Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data , 0, data.length); Apr 27 15:15:49 and that bitmap is always null Apr 27 15:16:06 and it is really frustrating, any idea? :) Apr 27 15:18:46 Hello! Can you help me with a small problem? My app when started from launcher freezes the system for a 1.5 seconds on my phone and for 3 to 4 seconds on the other one Apr 27 15:19:30 And the activity being launched has nothing except an indeterminate ProgressBar in the middle Apr 27 15:19:55 mbarisa: because byte[] isnt in bitmap decodable format Apr 27 15:21:29 mbarisa: you can try something like http://pastebin.com/3BzQ9ffx Apr 27 15:24:16 loredan13: even when you launche your app from app list? Apr 27 15:25:01 "For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to more than 5120 MB" lol is that for real ? Apr 27 15:25:17 eeyup Apr 27 15:25:50 and you are sure you have nothing more than the progressBar :? Apr 27 15:26:51 loredan13: your onCreate is possibly taking too long. Apr 27 15:27:07 mbarisa: set your camera to capture as jpeg Apr 27 15:27:33 hmm? isnt onPreviewFrame always in YUV Apr 27 15:27:36 mbarisa: wait this is preview Apr 27 15:28:03 yes, layout has only LinearLayout containing ProgressBar, and onCreate just has super.onCreate(), setContentView() and new Handler.postDelayed() with startActivity() in it Apr 27 15:28:09 you can set the preview format Apr 27 15:28:10 Proguard seems to be stripping out some classes in my project. THe module "vlc-android" is having its org.videolan.libvlc.MediaPlayer$Title class stripped from the dexfile. Obv believed that it is proguard doing this, but -keep class org.videolanlibvlc.* doesn't have any effect Apr 27 15:28:11 according to the docs Apr 27 15:28:17 Oh my Apr 27 15:28:21 I found the typo Apr 27 15:29:36 loredan13: pastebin your layout and code Apr 27 15:30:07 mbarisa: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.PreviewCallback.html Apr 27 15:30:30 Ashiren: it works fine :) Apr 27 15:30:31 says the default is YCbCr_420_SP (NV21) format. Apr 27 15:30:36 yeah, previewcallback is always YUV Apr 27 15:30:40 NV21 exactly Apr 27 15:30:43 mbarisa: you can set it though Apr 27 15:30:51 mbarisa: what are you doing with this? Apr 27 15:31:11 mbarisa: your going to decode and process each frame of the preview? at Apr 27 15:31:15 30/60 fps? Apr 27 15:31:21 this just sounds like a bad idea Apr 27 15:31:29 Napalm: i am working with opencv Apr 27 15:32:15 ok.. so opencv native libraries? Apr 27 15:32:59 Napalm: layout http://pastebin.com/sRRV4Hiz Apr 27 15:33:28 Napalm: this is just for debugging, i want to extract grayscale image right away without iteration Apr 27 15:33:41 and i think i can just take first part of byte[] that is grayscale Apr 27 15:33:44 for example Apr 27 15:33:48 640x480 image Apr 27 15:33:58 in yuv if i understood correctly i can get it Apr 27 15:34:19 first 640*480 bytes should be grayscale image Apr 27 15:34:22 if i am correct Apr 27 15:34:35 Napalm: activity http://pastebin.com/Bd32YGme Apr 27 15:34:49 mbarisa: no Apr 27 15:35:00 thats only if its 8 bits per component Apr 27 15:35:02 Napalm: i need to process each frame Apr 27 15:35:05 NV21 isnt Apr 27 15:35:31 Napalm: i currently do Apr 27 15:35:32 Mat mYuv = new Mat(480 + 480 / 2, 640, CvType.CV_8UC1); Apr 27 15:35:32 mYuv.put(0, 0, data); Apr 27 15:35:32 Imgproc.cvtColor(mYuv, mGray, Imgproc.COLOR_YUV2GRAY_NV21); Apr 27 15:35:35 Core.flip(mGray.t(), mGray, 1); Apr 27 15:35:37 Imgproc.resize(mGray, mGray, new Size(240, 320)); Apr 27 15:35:40 all this before processing the frame Apr 27 15:35:40 omg Apr 27 15:35:44 because i need it in grayscale Apr 27 15:35:48 dont paste code Apr 27 15:35:58 Napalm: sorry, thought 5 lines don't matter Apr 27 15:36:00 YUV 4:2:0 planar image, with 8 bit Y samples, followed by interleaved V/U plane with 8bit 2x2 subsampled chroma sample Apr 27 15:36:19 yup, so first plane is Y Apr 27 15:36:30 640*480 bytes = greyscale image Apr 27 15:36:39 g00s, I'm not surprised by it. Nowadays its still all about buying more and better hardware, when sometimes we could just fix performance problems :D Apr 27 15:38:06 Napalm: so what should I do exactly Apr 27 15:39:29 mbarisa: exactly what you were doing.. first widthXheight bytes from the byte array Apr 27 15:40:14 mbarisa: you might want to not process each frame Apr 27 15:40:31 if you want 320x240.. set that as your preview sizethe camera to record Apr 27 15:40:35 if you want 320x240.. set that as your preview size for the camera to record Apr 27 15:41:13 loredan13: thats not the way to do that.. plus .. PreSplash? Apr 27 15:41:14 wtf Apr 27 15:41:29 lol Apr 27 15:41:59 Napalm: i have whole implementation done Apr 27 15:42:01 it is just slow Apr 27 15:42:08 so i need to optimise this conversions Apr 27 15:42:23 Napalm: yeah, I know, we had just Splash, but it took 3 seconds to load, so we made another splash for this one Apr 27 15:42:23 yea, so dont convert it like this Apr 27 15:42:26 i want to display 640x480 Apr 27 15:42:39 Napalm: if i knew faster way i would do it already :) Apr 27 15:42:50 mbarisa: ok.. so producer-consumer Apr 27 15:42:53 first, try to avoid any alloc per frame Apr 27 15:42:55 look it up Apr 27 15:43:07 and any operation which can be done once and for all, like 480 + 480 / 2 Apr 27 15:43:13 processing in onPreviewFrame is not a good idea Apr 27 15:43:32 its done on the UI thread.. well the thread that called Camera.open Apr 27 15:43:40 *.* Apr 27 15:43:44 i dont display that image there Apr 27 15:43:48 i use shader to display camera image Apr 27 15:43:49 Napalm: and how should I do it? Apr 27 15:43:54 this is just callback where i process frame Apr 27 15:44:00 because i needed syncronisation Apr 27 15:44:22 if you want more speed, you might need to go renderscript of jni road too Apr 27 15:44:53 Napalm: also, probably there is some way to speed up the original splash, but it has a pretty heavy picture Apr 27 15:45:15 Napalm: or maybe I just have no idea how Apr 27 15:45:54 Napalm: yeah, I know, we had just Splash, but it took 3 seconds to load, so we made another splash for this one < that sounds crazy Apr 27 15:45:57 loredan13: ok.. but you miss the point.. why have a pre-splash when the splash has the image? Apr 27 15:46:06 this makes no-sense Apr 27 15:46:09 YO DAWG Apr 27 15:46:15 i heard u like splash Apr 27 15:46:19 lol Apr 27 15:46:24 pre-pre-splash Apr 27 15:46:26 :D Apr 27 15:47:14 Hello! Can you help me with a small problem? My app when started from launcher freezes the system for a 1.5 seconds on my phone and for 3 to 4 seconds on the other one << profile it Apr 27 15:47:23 looks like you do lot of a stuff in onCreate Apr 27 15:47:33 or setContent an enormous layout maybe Apr 27 15:47:53 if you have image, maybe you could put it as activity background in style Apr 27 15:48:06 adq: he also delays in his pre-splash for no good reason for 1 second Apr 27 15:48:57 the only one thing they should fix in N should be that there is another property that goes along with windowBackground that makes it centerCrop Apr 27 15:49:06 like windowBackgroundScaleType Apr 27 15:49:08 or something Apr 27 15:49:10 Napalm: that delay is not a problem here, freeze happens before the start of activity Apr 27 15:49:12 most annoying part of android Apr 27 15:49:23 loredan13, maybe you have lot of static stuff? Apr 27 15:49:32 loredan13: do you extend Application class? Apr 27 15:49:41 i backlogged and just saw you said that you haven't much thing in your layout Apr 27 15:49:47 loredan13: your onCreate in your application class will delay your first activity launch Apr 27 15:49:50 so there must be something else somewhere else Apr 27 15:50:10 adq: thats his pre-splash Apr 27 15:50:26 pre splash? Apr 27 15:50:31 lol Apr 27 15:50:31 exactly Apr 27 15:50:35 in before the splash Apr 27 15:50:35 adq: true Apr 27 15:50:45 and its a progressbar that waits for a second Apr 27 15:50:50 i mean.. wtf? Apr 27 15:50:51 lol Apr 27 15:51:10 loredan13, you need to profile your app anyway, so you will know where is/are the bottleneck(s) Apr 27 15:51:13 adq: there is a code in custom Application class Apr 27 15:51:28 loredan13's problem is that his Application class it taking too long.. so even his pre-splash pauses Apr 27 15:51:41 adq: is there a way to profile an app from the start? Apr 27 15:51:51 i know! lets make 2 apps Apr 27 15:52:00 1 with only splash and loading the intent of the other app Apr 27 15:52:06 just keep adding splash screens until its tolerable :) Apr 27 15:52:25 loredan13, sure, many, traceview with ddms, android monitor, some external libs, etc Apr 27 15:52:26 :D Apr 27 15:53:17 adq: no, I mean that Android Monitor requires to start profiling manually, when app already launched, as far as I know Apr 27 15:53:52 you can do it programmatically too Apr 27 15:54:03 http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/debugging-tracing.html Apr 27 15:54:14 Debug.startMethodTracing("pre-splash"); Apr 27 15:55:36 adq: thanks! didn't know that! Apr 27 15:55:40 but maybe you can simply use Log. if you don't need precision since it takes few seconds Apr 27 15:55:51 and if you don't have lot of threading Apr 27 15:56:08 just look at the timestamp should be sufficient if you have delta like few seconds Apr 27 15:57:33 you could also cheat and delay the start with an ugly Thread.sleep to let you start the monitoring manually Apr 27 15:57:44 though i've never tried, it might be ugly or it might have some side effect Apr 27 15:58:23 try also nimble https://nimbledroid.com/ they got few tools Apr 27 16:12:07 Great, so 2 months after I needed to find a fix for an app dealing with that 505 install issue there are solutions everywhere haha Apr 27 16:13:13 Also, google should remove bad reviews for apps that were caused by bugs they added to the framework Apr 27 16:19:20 Hey, anyone know of apps on tablets with large dialogs with a bunch of options? Apr 27 16:19:29 I’m looking for some design inspiration Apr 27 16:20:04 Guys im getting a json response that looks like this: http://prntscr.com/axjh3d where the top level object (in this case named 69) changes depending on which id you call. Apr 27 16:20:15 How the hell do I model this for use with retrofit? Apr 27 16:20:56 is it a server that’s under your control? Apr 27 16:21:13 companies api Apr 27 16:21:18 so i dont control it personally no Apr 27 16:21:24 but your company does? Apr 27 16:21:31 mhm Apr 27 16:21:38 is it new? or is it widely in use? Apr 27 16:21:49 if it’s new, then get them to change it. That is a shitty, shitty schema Apr 27 16:22:11 haha tell me about it. Literally said that exact same thing to the ceo yesterday Apr 27 16:22:12 otherwise, you’re gonna have to write a bunch of custom deserializers Apr 27 16:22:20 or maybe not use Retrofit at all Apr 27 16:22:27 there using Volley atm Apr 27 16:22:33 its ugly af Apr 27 16:22:55 cause your API was made by incompetent assholes Apr 27 16:23:31 orbyt_ just noticed this book other day https://www.manning.com/books/irresistible-apis Apr 27 16:24:23 maybe ill buy it for the web dev. Shit maybe ill tell the ceo to let me write the api Apr 27 16:25:38 anyways, with an api like that, your Retrofit code would likely be ugly too Apr 27 16:25:50 (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Apr 27 16:26:08 ┬──┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ) Apr 27 16:26:25 The best thing you can do is hide the volley stuff (which is already written, it sounds like), behind a nice interface, and forget it exists Apr 27 16:26:33 orbyt_ an interesting trend or maybe just blip at the moment ... have read a few good things about GraphQL Apr 27 16:26:52 wonder if the trend will be away from rest to graphql over time Apr 27 16:29:43 orbyt_ https://medium.com/chute-engineering/graphql-in-the-age-of-rest-apis-b10f2bf09bba#.8aguuhw5o Apr 27 16:29:53 I'm generaly a big supporter of hiding network stuff (or any external library's interface) behind a nice local interface Apr 27 16:30:07
