**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 03 02:59:58 2016 Aug 03 03:07:04 l3g3nd, that's what calling notify does Aug 03 03:10:24 hmm, so i have notify calling, and it creates the notification, but when there is another brodcast while i'm viewing the notification, it's not changing. i'll check the debug again to make sure it's hitting notify during during the user viewing the notification Aug 03 03:17:53 I notify with the tray open all. the time, works fine Aug 03 03:23:37 hey, I've used "git reset --hard" like 40 times Aug 03 03:23:57 and it is giving me errors about other repos Aug 03 03:24:19 so is there any way to have it reset all the repos that need to be changed? Aug 03 03:24:35 pfn yeah, just tested it, and it's not updating (at least in the emulator) when i get to notification again. I have PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT sent for the PendingIntent in the notification .setContentIntent. that should replace the notification, shouldn't it? Aug 03 03:33:13 the pending intent isn't the content of the notification Aug 03 03:33:29 that's what you get when you click the notification Aug 03 03:33:49 deathcamel57, repo forall Aug 03 03:34:03 or. foreach, I forget the command Aug 03 03:34:20 repo foreach -c git reset --hard Aug 03 03:36:10 thanks Aug 03 03:38:49 ahh yeah, you are right. i'll keep trying to figure this out. thanks for the help Aug 03 03:39:56 Thank you so much, that works perfectly Aug 03 03:40:06 repo forall -c git reset --hard Aug 03 03:40:10 worked perfectly Aug 03 04:02:13 well, I ran into a similar issue Aug 03 04:02:21 error: Cannot remove project "external/busybox": uncommitted changes are present Aug 03 04:02:21 commit changes, then run sync again Aug 03 04:02:33 I already reset external/busybox Aug 03 04:02:46 and I tried the same thing twice more Aug 03 04:02:48 but no dice Aug 03 04:16:07 Hey guys Aug 03 04:16:16 hi Aug 03 04:16:17 im having some difficulty figuring out which way to go Aug 03 04:16:44 How so? Aug 03 04:16:59 i need to make an app that allows the user to activate a bar code reader integrated in the device and then have that output thrown in the active textfields anywhere like a keyboard wedge Aug 03 04:17:27 ive looked at services without being able to capture the hardware key on the device within that service to know when to start Aug 03 04:18:09 ive researched soft keyboard developement a bit to make a singular keyboard button for scanning within the custom keyboard ime but i didn't find any documentation Aug 03 04:18:37 easy enough to actually build a demo that didn't crash altough it did shop up in the settings as a keyboard option Aug 03 04:18:42 show Aug 03 04:19:05 any ideas how to accomplish this? im looking for design ideas from someone more experienced to nudge me in the right path Aug 03 04:19:30 sorry, I can't help out with that xc Aug 03 04:20:25 User action -> tell scanner service to launch scanner and capture output back to ourselves (this is not a problem for me) -> Output to active field (found this to be easy with getcontext or something like that?) Aug 03 04:20:39 yeaaah... Aug 03 04:20:55 essentially it would start off as a keylogger interested in one particular key Aug 03 04:21:33 and needs to run in the background to allow other apps to be used on top of it, essentially making a barcode reader that only outputs API into a standard HID reader Aug 03 04:37:00 how does the usa government know how much we make on the play store Aug 03 04:37:09 or do they at all > Aug 03 04:37:30 google probably sends them info Aug 03 04:37:35 I thought maybe google takes care of all the taxes ? Aug 03 04:38:41 So could we possibly put the google play account under my parents name? and then they get all the money and give it to me in cash? or is that illegal Aug 03 04:39:16 err google dev account i mean Aug 03 04:43:19 have yall heard of unity3d? Aug 03 04:44:19 Not illegal as long as someone (your parents) pays the taxes. Aug 03 04:44:27 ohh okay, thanks Aug 03 04:48:31 most people don't make enough that it's worth reporting Aug 03 04:48:48 I've never gotten any 1099 from Google for android apps Aug 03 04:49:12 which I assume they would send out Aug 03 04:49:29 amazon sent me one for like the $10 I made iirc Aug 03 05:07:49 new nexus launcher http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/08/01/exclusive-this-is-googles-new-nexus-launcher-that-may-debut-on-the-2016-nexus-phones/ Aug 03 05:46:37 How to tell when the first build sync is complete? or near it? Aug 03 06:13:22 Hi I'm grabbing a page HTML with jsoup and then feeding it to webview with loaddata. However I'm getting XMLHttpRequest cannot load . Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes http data https Aug 03 06:13:35 i have a screen that consists of a few views followed by a recyclerview. i want the few views up top to scroll off the screen as if they're inside the recyclerview. any tips? Aug 03 06:30:02 mathu: sounds like you need CoordinatedLayout Aug 03 06:30:17 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/CoordinatorLayout.html Aug 03 06:43:58 anyone compiled an android.mk file? Aug 03 06:44:04 (separately) Aug 03 06:49:19 can anyone tell me the good libraries , that will help me to guide the user on how to use my app? Aug 03 06:50:02 like when i open my app for the first time , i have seen many apps that has instructions and infographics about the app , which often helps the user Aug 03 06:53:07 shouldnt be hard to do it yourself i guess? just show some dialogs with back and continue Aug 03 06:56:27 i want to know various libraries , like one i found is wizard pager Aug 03 06:56:47 and tourguide https://github.com/worker8/TourGuide Aug 03 08:05:59 Hey, can anyone give recommendations on what to use to track the user's activity within my app? Aug 03 08:07:08 Firebase Events? Aug 03 08:09:27 would that allow me to track how many users login, register, etc within my app? Aug 03 08:12:42 you can set events for every interaction your users does with your app Aug 03 08:12:54 you can set funnels for a sequence of events Aug 03 08:13:04 perfinion: After looking at Firebase Events, it just looks like the default listeners which you can use when you are using Firebase in your project Aug 03 08:13:47 markyosullivan: you can add whatever strings you want for the event names Aug 03 08:14:10 markyosullivan: and you dont need to use the rest of the firebase stuff to just use analytics Aug 03 08:15:37 perfinion: I'm reluctant to go with Firebase because it's not free Aug 03 08:18:03 hm? yeah it is Aug 03 08:18:12 the database is not free Aug 03 08:18:22 but firebase analytics is just google analytics renamed Aug 03 08:20:20 perfinion: Have you used Fabric Answer's? Seems like you can track up to 3,000 unique events Aug 03 08:20:40 Whereas it seems you're limited to 500 with Firebase Analytics Aug 03 08:21:11 When you do MVP and you have a complex View, is there any way to get around having loads of methods in your ViewInterface such as setButtonXEnabled, setButtonXText() etc. if you have lots of elements in your View? Aug 03 08:35:41 i'm having trouble wrapping my head around this: my apps mainactivity should have a navigation drawer with the hamburger button at the top, the main content area is a recyclerview of cardviews, and there should be a floating action button. what should the top level layout be in activity_main.xml? Aug 03 08:35:49 i currently have , but the FAB doesn't display correctly (it takes up the full width of the screen) Aug 03 08:38:06 from reading and examples, i'm thinking the top level should probably be like a CoordinatorLayout, but then i'm not sure how to do the other stuff Aug 03 08:40:57 if you want drawer, drawerLayout should be top Aug 03 08:41:11 then coordinator might be inside Aug 03 08:41:11 Drawerlayout as top level, put a coordinatorlayout and the drawer content as its children Aug 03 08:41:34 Use the coordinatorlayout for your main list Aug 03 08:42:18 And of course the FAB as a child of the coordinatorlayout Aug 03 08:49:24 so: ? Aug 03 08:50:44 ah yep that works. Aug 03 09:06:56 Hey guys, any suggestions for a good REST client for android for my app ? Aug 03 09:13:21 markyosullivan: i havent, no. the 500 events kind of sucks yeah, but you can have a bunch of sub-events so its been okay for most things for me so far Aug 03 09:29:03 can someone help me solve this :/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38727842/access-fragments-textview-inside-a-viewpager-from-activity/38728132 Aug 03 09:29:40 what is good practice for a development workflow working with various resources/assets that will eventually be downloaded from the net and kept on internal storage, but for now i just want to include them statically? Aug 03 09:32:31 Hi, is the Android's map feature for location tracking with quota limits ? - My goal is to have tracking of the user on the map, is that free ? Aug 03 09:47:23 Diplomat: Firebase can be pretty useful Aug 03 09:47:51 I already started using retrofit, but thanks Aug 03 09:50:35 what about like copying the `/assets` folder to internal storage during development or something? Aug 03 09:53:35 What's the best way to show an error message? Aug 03 09:53:49 Would it be a good idea to show them as notifications? Aug 03 09:53:55 Dialogs? Aug 03 09:54:04 Or what I'm currently using - Toasts Aug 03 09:56:43 vibrations and electricity shocks Aug 03 09:58:17 markyosullivan: Dialogs probably Aug 03 09:59:08 Use dialogs for stuff the user cannot miss. Use toasts/snackbars for stuff that the use can miss. Aug 03 10:00:54 For example: use dialogs for popping up error messages as a result of a bad login. Use snackbars to notify the user your news app has just updated some articles. Aug 03 10:05:32 Thanks pduin, I think I might have to change some of my error messages so it'll display a dialog rather than Toast Aug 03 10:12:20 hello, anyone here experienced with iBeacon & AltBeacon ? Aug 03 10:15:00 With Google maps, how do I show markers with array of my places, which are nearby ? Aug 03 10:24:09 how can I get a list of available "adb emu" commands? Aug 03 10:24:56 if it matters, I'm using the latest stable android studio and sdk (installed both yesterday) Aug 03 10:26:43 when searching for different combinations of ["adb emu", list, command, available, supported], they all return the same as when I run 'adb -h' Aug 03 10:27:27 which for emulator console commands is 'run emulator console command'.... Aug 03 10:27:30 If I have a Toolbar declared in my xml file for an Activity and is using "elevation" which is for API's above the smallest I support, what will happen if a user on lower API enters? Will the paramters just be discarded or will the app crash or something? Aug 03 10:32:58 Hi! Didn't get an answer in #android, so I'm asking here as well. If I have two apps A and B installed on the same android device, is there any way for app A to check if app B is installed, or can I be sure that app A won't ever find out about app B? Aug 03 10:34:02 yes you can Aug 03 10:34:30 thats how can game list other installed games Aug 03 10:35:49 does the app need some special permission in order to be able to see all other apps? or is every android app able to see all other apps without the need of any permissions? Aug 03 10:36:37 AFAIR no permission is required Aug 03 10:41:28 can anyone confirm or refute that? Aug 03 10:49:20 Hello. I'm programming a GPS Tracker for an application and on Android Studio it is telling me that I need to include missing permissions required by locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(...) what is this? Aug 03 10:50:57 ZeNEX, perhaps the perms in ur manifest? Aug 03 10:51:30

Aug 03 10:51:33

Aug 03 10:51:39 thornekey, I have both these permissions in there: Aug 03 10:51:39

Aug 03 10:51:59 myke, you can use fine for both too from what I have read and anyway it does not make a difference Aug 03 10:52:13 (to my problem that is) Aug 03 10:55:12 Having an issue where my webview (inside fragment) is showing behind my on screen nav buttons Aug 03 10:55:31 i.e triange, circle, square Aug 03 10:56:41 ZeNEX: what about runtime permissions introduced in android M Aug 03 10:57:06 Ashiren, how do I add this to the manifest file? Aug 03 10:57:33 not manifest Aug 03 10:57:44 https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html Aug 03 10:58:00 Thank you Aug 03 11:16:47 Does anybody know from which class is the constant 'MY_PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION' member of? Aug 03 11:17:33 ZeNEX: Search for it Aug 03 11:17:46 ctrl+shift+f Aug 03 11:18:15 ZeNEX: If you're stuck with runtime permissions, I got it working in my app and could give you some help with it Aug 03 11:19:13 markyosullivan, It would be great if you could show me how to do it Aug 03 11:21:19 markyosullivan, can you show me the code if possible? Aug 03 11:24:34 ZeNEX: http://pastebin.com/RFLjF3cQ Aug 03 11:24:50 Check if permission is granted, if not prompted for permission Aug 03 11:24:57 *prompt for permission Aug 03 11:26:37 markyosullivan, cannot resolve symbol "MY_PERMISSION_RESPONSE" Aug 03 11:27:03 its your own int Aug 03 11:27:15 ZeNEX: it's a common pattern in android. you tell the method who sent it, by using an identifying integer Aug 03 11:27:16 as if youd do startActivityForResult Aug 03 11:27:50 So I need to send an Activity identifier? Aug 03 11:27:53 ZeNEX: Just replace it with an int Aug 03 11:27:58 e.g. 30 Aug 03 11:28:02 so in the callback (which is the same for everyone) you know where it originated. then you can run certain code depending on who asked for it (suppose the permissions were granted, you might want to just start the code you originally intended) Aug 03 11:28:08 can someone help me solve this :/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38727842/access-fragments-textview-inside-a-viewpager-from-activity/38728132 Aug 03 11:28:13 ohh okay Aug 03 11:28:16 thanks Aug 03 11:30:35 now, if it does not have the permission, it asks for it, but what happens if the user says no? Aug 03 11:30:44 then the callback is called Aug 03 11:30:53 and you can find out from its params what happened Aug 03 11:30:59 (or you can just ask the system again) Aug 03 11:31:24 so if the user says Yes, then the callback is NOT called? but if they say No the callback IS called? Aug 03 11:31:30 public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, Aug 03 11:31:30 String permissions[], int[] grantResults) Aug 03 11:31:39 the callback is always called Aug 03 11:31:52 in it, for every permission you request, a response is provided Aug 03 11:31:56 (they are 2 arrays) Aug 03 11:32:14 So is that callback defined in the Service class? Aug 03 11:32:20 I would only have to override it? Aug 03 11:32:43 what I do is, I figure out which permissions i still need, this method returns a list of strings. If this list has length 0, i ask the system for permissions (asking the user). Aug 03 11:32:55 correction, Aug 03 11:33:00 if this list has length >0 Aug 03 11:34:07 say you need CAMERA and RECORD_AUDIO, and the user has allowed CAMERA, the method will return only RECORD_AUDIO since it is lacking. size > 0, so i cannot continue before it's 0 Aug 03 11:34:57 it's defined in activity and/or fragment i believe Aug 03 11:35:05 and yes override it Aug 03 11:35:26 thing is, the GPSTracker is not an activity.. Aug 03 11:35:42 then you cannot start that service before you have the permission Aug 03 11:35:42 I use it from an activity externally Aug 03 11:36:28 and in the service always check whether you have the permission, and degrade gracefully. I could just bypass your app and in the settings disable the permission. You don't want to crash Aug 03 11:37:01 makes sense? Aug 03 11:37:08 I see. Also, if the user grants me permission ig GPS automatically enabled? Aug 03 11:37:30 the permission means: you are allowed to call the specific methods. you still need to do all the work Aug 03 11:37:39 Okay, thanks Aug 03 11:38:23 therefore always use the compat methods, so on older androids you just get the permissions automatically (since they were agreed upon on install) Aug 03 11:39:40 i am setting firebase in my app, i want to know why did firebase doesnt require steps like some kind of key , all i have just set is the connection string , how does it now that client is really my app ? Aug 03 11:39:45 am i missing any step Aug 03 11:40:17 Is it normal that a viewpager container spans way too much in height? Aug 03 11:40:24 i.e. it doesnt fit into the viewport Aug 03 11:40:30 overflows on y Aug 03 11:42:04 xorgate: I'm not sure what happens if I reject permissions... I should probably test that out Aug 03 11:42:17 markyosullivan: then you are where you were before Aug 03 11:42:27 the callback is called and you don't have the permission Aug 03 11:42:57 Yeah but the app needs the permission to work Aug 03 11:43:09 1) do i have the permission? no) ask for permission result) do i have it now? yes) do what you wanted to do Aug 03 11:43:11 so I don't think there'd be another stage where the user would be prompted to enable it Aug 03 11:43:43 you ask when the users decides he wants to use the functionality that requires it Aug 03 11:44:03 if he says no, tell him you cannot proceed Aug 03 11:44:21 Makes sense Aug 03 11:44:36 it depends a bit on what the functionality is Aug 03 11:44:41 sometimes you can proceed without it Aug 03 11:44:50 like i have an app that uses location Aug 03 11:45:06 if the user says no, i just show the map with the entire country instead of around the user's position Aug 03 11:45:11 What is the best way to proceed when migrating an Eclipse project to Android Studio if the automatic import from Eclipse fails? Import all modules separately in a new project? Aug 03 11:46:27 xorgate: Basically the entire app needs BLE service Aug 03 11:46:31 which in turn needs location Aug 03 11:46:40 So frustrating requesting location Aug 03 11:46:50 then on startup just make it clear Aug 03 11:46:51 The users will probably question why I need it Aug 03 11:47:00 in the end, if you cannot continue, you cannot continue.. simple Aug 03 11:47:07 then you can tell them Aug 03 11:47:20 i believe permissions have an explanation callback or somethingn Aug 03 12:23:19 I have a problem where I'm trying to use the layout editor to change themes and most components on a layout aren't affected by the theme change, so I looked into the layout .xml of the activity I'm trying to change colors on, and I found this: Aug 03 12:23:20 style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium.Inverse" Aug 03 12:23:36 should this reference be defined in the styles.xml file? Aug 03 12:24:15 or is this some kind of reference to a premade style in Android Studio that I should look elsewhere for a definition? Aug 03 12:24:35 because there is nothing in styles.xml related to /TextAppearance.Medium.Inverse Aug 03 13:03:24 I have a project that has ndk dependencies. When doing a build I get config.h: No such file or directory. The project compiles fine in Eclipse. Any ideas how I can fix this? The .so file is already in the jniLibs folder. Aug 03 13:08:57 Hmm, I am quite new to android, followed some tutorials and kinda got the hang of the basic concepts. I am wondering if it is difficult to break an activity up in fragments, in a later stage, when the application is a lot further developped? Aug 03 13:16:09 aukeroorda: More than likely you'll have to restructure your app at least once Aug 03 13:16:27 Hmm, oke. Aug 03 13:16:29 at least I seem to have to do it every time I start a new project Aug 03 13:17:02 Good to know, thanks Aug 03 13:24:25 I get unmappable character for encoding UTF-8 everywhere in AS after migrating from Eclipse. I've already changed the encoding to windows-1252, but that didn't change anything Aug 03 13:24:31 Any ideas how to fix this? Aug 03 13:24:56 The characters get displayed properly after changing the encoding, but the build is broken Aug 03 13:25:12 Don't you want UTF8 over windows encoding? Aug 03 13:25:41 I want it to build, whatever is need to accomplish that Aug 03 13:26:30 if I make a button with elevation is doesn't show if I use transparent color. Anyone knows a workaround for that? Aug 03 13:26:36 If there's a way to convert everything to utf8 that would be good Aug 03 13:30:11 Why does it even complain about utf8 if I've set all the encodings to windows-1252 Aug 03 13:30:41 what is "set all the encodings" Aug 03 13:30:58 have you set the javac options in build.gradle yet Aug 03 13:31:26 I set compileOptions.encoding = 'windows-1252' in the build.gradle Aug 03 13:31:33 And also in the settings->File Encodings Aug 03 13:31:34 hi! Aug 03 13:32:04 I am using Android Studio 2.2 preview 7 to test some small c/c++ code Aug 03 13:32:24 the problem is, the include headers are not found, and I only use some headers form ndk directly Aug 03 13:32:36 HunterD: I get the same on 2.1.2. Aug 03 13:32:47 are you using ndk-build? Aug 03 13:32:49 on Android Studio 2.2 preview 4 I managed to make the headers visible by adding a include path in CMakeLists.txt Aug 03 13:33:03 I am using the externalNativeBuild feature Aug 03 13:33:07 with CMake Aug 03 13:33:39 *in 2.2 preview 7, the same adition of the include path does not make the headers visible :( Aug 03 13:33:56 the debugging does work though.. on both version.. in c/c++ files Aug 03 13:34:06 but withouth the header files it is useless Aug 03 13:34:36 any ideas on why this version, 2.2 preview 7, has no visible header files when using CMake/externalNativeBuild ? Aug 03 13:34:54 pfn: Is that what you mean by javac options? Aug 03 13:35:19 indeed Aug 03 13:40:48 include has to go in the cmakelists. externalNativeBuild.path points to the cmakelists.txt file Aug 03 13:53:19 anyone here worked with Unity where the end result was an Android app/game? Aug 03 14:17:17 yes Aug 03 14:25:35 Howdy Aug 03 14:26:07 AS build runs forever without stopping Aug 03 14:39:46 Is there android sdk for powerpc? Aug 03 14:40:12 hmmmmmmmmmmm Aug 03 14:40:19 very unlikely. Aug 03 14:40:37 I see Aug 03 14:40:46 shareholder; https://github.com/zeldin/android-sdk-ppc Aug 03 14:40:53 I lied, that might be helpful. Aug 03 14:41:03 only for Linux/PPC Aug 03 14:41:19 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16 Aug 03 14:41:28 So there is no way to build android app from powerbook g4? Aug 03 14:41:32 haha wow, issue 16 Aug 03 14:41:41 even if there was Aug 03 14:41:43 it would be so slow Aug 03 14:41:48 Oh thank you Aug 03 14:43:59 Anybody testing with espresso here? Aug 03 14:44:21 What is your question? Aug 03 14:45:37 I'm trying to find a good way to reset state after tests, but clearing shared preferences in an @after method looks like it's adding 7-15 seconds to my tests Aug 03 14:47:13 Similarly, is there a way to setup a certain state before an activity loads? It looks like the activity loads immediately. Maybe I'm looking at testing the wrong way if I'm trying to do that though... I'm not sure what best practices are here Aug 03 14:48:33 bitkiller: were you able to use rxandroidble from within a service? Aug 03 14:49:51 why can't we have listview without adapterview? Aug 03 14:51:35 parco, yep Aug 03 14:53:27 i use a bound service Aug 03 14:53:29 purplex88, uh, refine your question Aug 03 14:54:50 pfn: in windows programming, i used to simply add items to listview but with android why is there adapterview to manage the listview? Aug 03 14:55:08 bitkiller: did you need a Service version of this class>> com.trello.rxlifecycle.ActivityEvent ? Aug 03 14:56:29 i don't use rxlifecycle Aug 03 14:57:41 purplex88, uh, you mean adapter and Windows. programming uses that as well Aug 03 15:07:31 hi Aug 03 15:07:44 how i can see the keylines of my app to see margins? Aug 03 15:08:26 pfn: hm just never heard of "adapter" being used to insert items in win32 listview Aug 03 15:09:02 any? Aug 03 15:13:33 purplex88, you haven't used it much then Aug 03 15:15:45 pfn: i'm pretty sure https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb774737(v=vs.85).aspx <- no adapter there Aug 03 15:16:19 bitkiller: how did you handle such a line .compose(bindUntilEvent(PAUSE))? Aug 03 15:16:20 the various LVITEM and such serve as the adapter Aug 03 15:16:27 how i can see the keylines of my app to see margins? Aug 03 15:16:38 like a overlay to see the lines Aug 03 15:17:20 why doesnt a if statement inside a onclick listener for button work?? http://ideone.com/RAHHIs Aug 03 15:18:11 because that's completely and utterly wrong Aug 03 15:19:13 go back to java basics first, then android basics on how to work with string resources Aug 03 15:19:45 im gonna have a stab and say cos its checking it as an object and not the value? Aug 03 15:20:20 https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html#string-element Aug 03 15:28:52 in relation to android yes Aug 03 15:29:52 even if i check if s = "hi" (which is what the string resource was equal to) it doesnt trigger the if Aug 03 15:30:54 ah wait, i think i got it. Aug 03 15:31:22 thats interesting Aug 03 15:33:14 though that much i can confirm from my books there were no "adapter" concept back then so thats something new to me now Aug 03 15:33:45 purplex88, there has always been an adapter concept Aug 03 15:33:52 it just hasn't been called such Aug 03 15:34:30 the name is a little weird Aug 03 15:35:19 it'd be more appropriately named ModelAdapter or something, but that's just long Aug 03 15:37:53 parco, i don't know what it does as i don't use rxlifecycle, but regarding binding/unbinding to service, i do it the usual way (in onStart/onPause) Aug 03 15:40:39 pfn: we used a for loop to insert items one by one whereas "ArrayAdapter" holds all item views at once. Aug 03 15:41:06 you could use a for loop to insert items into ArrayAdapter Aug 03 15:45:46 yes and then directly set ArrayAdapter to listview Aug 03 15:46:29 which is exactly adapter to link the data to listview? Aug 03 15:46:51 exactly what adapter does* Aug 03 15:48:43 but i heard it also manages the data for performance Aug 03 15:55:53 Has anyone here had issues clearing shared preference in an @after method with espresso? Aug 03 15:59:54 I just get weird behavior in general from espresso Aug 03 16:13:18 the bluetooth permission dialog has been broken for 3 years, wtf google ... Aug 03 16:20:01 g00s: How is it broken? Aug 03 16:20:29 oh they closed the issue in 2014, so probably ignored at that point Aug 03 16:20:56 konk3r the activity that pops up is malformed (title behind text) and when you rotate the screen new windows pop up Aug 03 16:21:23 bug 60002 - old enough to be 5 digits ;) Aug 03 16:22:07 Wow Aug 03 16:22:34 I wonder how many issues have been closed instead of being addressed Aug 03 16:23:39 Haha I also wonder if Google has a team whose job is to replicate reported issues. That could easily be a fulltime job Aug 03 16:24:36 more likely they have a team whose job is to close externally reported issues Aug 03 16:25:01 Leeds 'job qualifications: expert at whack-a-mole' Aug 03 16:25:14 Hahaha Aug 03 16:47:02 Hello, how can I make the option menu visible ? I am trying with a simple activity, but nothing appears on the top Aug 03 16:49:46 Here is all the code : https://codeshare.io/oPkou Aug 03 16:50:29 What SDK Tool do I installed to make available the 'com.google.android.gsf.login' library? Aug 03 16:51:00 mgk: What’s it doing now? Aug 03 16:51:32 s73v3r: its doing nothing xD Aug 03 16:51:44 s73v3r: just a screen with the background Aug 03 16:51:48 be more specific Aug 03 16:51:52 Espresso would be amazing if it ran consistently for me, it will randomly not run any tests and occasionally the intent capture will let intents slip through Aug 03 16:51:57 is there the 3 dots in the corner? Aug 03 16:52:01 nope Aug 03 16:52:07 thats what i want to see Aug 03 16:52:24 Well, that's not true. It never doesn't run any tests, it will ocassionally only run a single test from the same command I always use Aug 03 16:52:56 mgk: have you set breakpoints to ensure that onCreateOptionsMenu is being called? Aug 03 16:53:29 not called Aug 03 16:53:33 just tried Aug 03 16:54:00 what’s your theme? Aug 03 16:54:23 is it something with no title bar or no actionbar? Aug 03 16:54:30 android:Theme.Light Aug 03 16:55:19 are you using an actionbar or a toolbar? Aug 03 16:56:27 I wasnt using any of this until now Aug 03 16:56:47 that’s probably the issue. if you don’t have an actionbar or a toolbar, then there’s no place for the menu to appear Aug 03 16:57:34 ugh working by yourself can suck sometimes Aug 03 16:57:35 also, you should call super in onCreateOptionsMenu Aug 03 16:58:52 mgk: you’re probably gonna want to do something like this: https://developer.android.com/training/appbar/setting-up.html Aug 03 16:59:41 s73v3r: Yeah i was on the same page Aug 03 16:59:51 s73v3r: but it says : "In the app manifest, set the element to use one of appcompat's NoActionBar themes. Using one of these themes prevents the app from using the native ActionBar class to provide the app bar." Aug 03 16:59:57 yup Aug 03 17:00:08 because you don’t want the ActionBar, you want to use the compat Toolbar Aug 03 17:00:09 But how to use the native actionbar ? Aug 03 17:00:34 i mean why would I not use the native bar ? Aug 03 17:01:18 because you want consistent behavior Aug 03 17:01:36 and google is encouraging use of the Toolbar for a more material design Aug 03 17:02:14 okey, im gonna work on it Aug 03 17:02:20 s73v3r: thanks a lot :) Aug 03 17:06:03 is a service that is bound to a foreground service less likely to be terminated in the event of low memory? Aug 03 17:07:26 i'm trying to decide whether I should bind to a Bluetooth service, or just keep them separate and communicated with broadcast notifications Aug 03 17:07:35 comunicate* Aug 03 17:07:41 forget it. Aug 03 17:10:52 hithere Aug 03 17:11:29 is there a way to add shadow to a View like with android:elevation for API21 devices? but for lower API's? Aug 03 17:21:50 hi Aug 03 17:22:08 i add android:fillViewport to my ScrollView but the ScrollView is not getting all screen Aug 03 17:22:14 how i can adjust this? Aug 03 17:28:37 Morning all. I got a rather strange JNI bug I'd like some assistance with. Aug 03 17:30:45 feel free to just ask, instead of asking to ask Aug 03 17:34:48 Sure. I'm getting 'JNI DETECTED ERROR IN APPLICATION: jarray is an invalid global reference' from Check_JNI when calling 'GetIntArrayElements'. I'm passing in a local reference though. Aug 03 17:37:39 anybody ? Aug 03 17:38:29 The only thing google has for that error is my own stack overflow post for it. Aug 03 17:46:45 are you calling GetArrayLength before GetIntArrayElements? Aug 03 17:47:34 http://www.ict.nsc.ru/win/docs/java/tutorial/native1.1/implementing/array.html Aug 03 17:47:35 No Aug 03 17:48:56 'GetIntArrayElements' doesn't even return, so I'd have no chance to use the length in any way. Aug 03 18:05:26 if i make a mistake with this http://ideone.com/lMxPmS (such as the bitmap is null) it crashes. how do i handle that Aug 03 18:07:07 FM-Josh: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jni/#using there's section on local references that might help. Aug 03 18:11:20 BlackGold: Alas, nothing there is similar to what I'm trying to do. We're converting all JNI elements to native data types so very few local references would be made. It also doesn't explain the error I'm getting... Aug 03 18:20:29 style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium.Inverse" -does this explicitly rely on a definition of TextApperance.Medium.Inverse in the styles.xml file? Or is this a reference to something else? Aug 03 18:23:00 Ok, I just read that TextApperance.Medium.Inverse forces the text to be the opposite of the background, but the reality of my situation is that the text is showing dark grey over black, and it isn't readable, and light grey over white, which isn't readable... Aug 03 18:25:48 Are there any other Android development channels that anyone knows of that are pretty active? Aug 03 18:30:07 how do i get my activity context from a non-activity class..? Aug 03 18:30:24 you’re gonna have to pass it in Aug 03 18:30:29 ohk Aug 03 18:31:34 cos im using picasso. and with it there is a transform.. so ive got this class called CircleTransform.. but it seems if the image is null it crashes. so i wanted to check if its null and if it is just use a bitmap from resource. but that needs context Aug 03 18:33:26 pass the resource in when you create it Aug 03 18:33:32 hi, I'm trying to build an interface for a big struct with lots of floats and some other stuff. I tried databinding and ran into difficulties. Could anyone tell me, why this doesn't work? IfI replace the struct+property with a simple float, it works perfectly. http://paste.debian.net/786802/ Aug 03 18:34:06 (minimal example) Aug 03 18:39:28 s37v3r its a constructor class thoguh Aug 03 18:40:13 either way, you’re going to have to either pass the activity context to the class, or the resource itself Aug 03 18:42:02 ok cool, i tried http://ideone.com/AvYyUD seems to work ok Aug 03 18:42:50 parco, as i'm using that rx ble lib, i bind to the service and get an observable when needed, etc Aug 03 18:43:26 wait, s73v3r that doesnt work aha thought it did Aug 03 18:43:32 thornekey: is that a class you control, or a class from a library? Aug 03 18:44:28 also, I’m not 1000% sure, but it really does not seem like the place of the transform class to be checking if the image is null Aug 03 18:45:04 a class i control. somewhat. however, i use it in picasso which has a method .transform.. so i say .transform(new CircleTransform(context)) Aug 03 18:45:21 that should be fine Aug 03 18:45:46 hi, what is correct way to get current fragment inside view pager from activity? Aug 03 18:45:49
