**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 09 02:59:58 2016 Aug 09 03:09:22 Newbie question: I start a MainActivity, and in onCreate I start another activity. In the other I finish(); and in MainActivity it is called onActivityResult... where I attempt a findViewById which returns null? Second later MainActivity displays. Aug 09 03:35:51 hello Aug 09 03:37:11 i've followed the gridview example at https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/gridview.html - only difference is i'm using it in a fragment Aug 09 03:37:29 i am not seeing the gridview appear on screen, but i've got it so it no longer crashes Aug 09 03:37:44 (had to change some contexts to use getActivity() and things like that) Aug 09 03:37:59 is there anything else i need to do so it works in a fragment? Aug 09 03:59:28 It shouldn't matter Aug 09 04:00:16 If you can get a TextView working in a Fragment, you can get a GridView working in a Fragment Aug 09 04:13:53 ConstraintLayout alpha6: potential OOM when handling complex layouts ... :/ Aug 09 04:31:03 I'd like to make an app with a series of "screens." Each screen would have text, possibly an image, and a few buttons. Each button would take the user to a different screen. Ideally I'd like to have several cardviews and have them animate left and right. What's the best way to implement this using Android's guidelines? Aug 09 04:33:27 fraktor i guess you could try CardViews in a ViewPager ? Aug 09 04:34:25 i'm trying to make a custom keyboard, i've followed the examples/explanations from https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/creating-input-method.html (and using the sample SoftKeyboard.java) but nothing shows up in the settings menu when I install the APK on emulator Aug 09 04:34:38 i am assuming the keyboard is supposed to show up in the settings menu under language & input? Aug 09 04:35:51 g00s: that's what it was! I couldn't remember the name of ViewPager, though I'd read about it. Thanks! Aug 09 04:37:05 i can see that my keyboard app is installed on the device in the Apps settings menu Aug 09 05:42:27 g00s my friend! Aug 09 05:42:52 is there any reason why a gridview & imageview inside a linearlayout would only show one and not the other? Aug 09 05:43:12 when both are set to android:layout_height="wrap_content" Aug 09 06:40:29 AsyncTask: Is it safe to call cancel() multiple times? Aug 09 06:41:17 Or should I guard cancel calls with e.g. if ( !asyncTask.isCancelled() ) { asyncTask.cancel(); } ? Aug 09 06:50:38 It doesn't seem that invoking cancel twice on an AsyncTask will do any damage other than the 2nd invocation will return false because the AsyncTask was already cancelled. Aug 09 06:51:10 Zta77: call it once Aug 09 06:51:16 even though it doesn't matter Aug 09 06:52:22 The issue is that we have quite a lot of place where we guard against calling it twice. It adds up to a lot of code. I'm in the middle of a refactoring of something and need to choose whether maintaining this code is worth it. Aug 09 06:53:07 It's methods like void cancelAnyTasksRunning(); So they don't even care about the result. Aug 09 06:53:24 ...of .cancel() Aug 09 06:54:43 I don't see why I should bother protecting successive invocation of .cancel() if it doesn't matter Aug 09 06:54:51 thepoosh: Do you? =) Aug 09 06:56:02 Hi folks Aug 09 06:56:07 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38843576/aligning-a-gridview-with-another-view/ Aug 09 06:56:17 does anyone know why i've got that excess whitespace on the gridview? Aug 09 06:58:13 Zta77: because it more correct Aug 09 07:00:08 thepoosh: I think agree. But is it still more correct if AsyncTask handles it gracefully? Aug 09 07:00:34 Zta77: 1. gracefully is not setting a boolean to true if it's already set to true Aug 09 07:01:01 2. look in the sample source in the docs Aug 09 07:06:29 raoul11: HAI Aug 09 07:06:40 ohi thepoosh Aug 09 07:06:50 thepoosh: billing question Aug 09 07:07:07 mHelper.consumeAsync(inventory.getPurchase(SKU_REMOVE_ADS), Aug 09 07:07:07 mConsumeFinishedListener); Aug 09 07:07:30 if i remove this line ^ it will act as a non-consumable item? Aug 09 07:07:34 I know nothing about billing Aug 09 07:07:35 sowwie Aug 09 07:07:39 ah ok Aug 09 07:07:51 only implemented consumables so far Aug 09 07:08:08 but someone been bitchin in his review that he'd consider payin for removing ads Aug 09 07:09:32 tell him to use some ad blockers Aug 09 07:09:43 [solved] Aug 09 07:09:53 but i wantz the monies Aug 09 07:10:11 plus my current ad supplier isnt really delivering Aug 09 07:15:01 thepoosh: What sample source? I've just found this https://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/process-bitmap.html and as I read it bitmapWorkerTask.cancel(true); is not guarded against a 2nd call. Aug 09 07:15:26 whatever Aug 09 07:15:34 moved on with my life Aug 09 07:17:20 Sure. I was just curious about the nature of cancel() anyway. Aug 09 07:31:06 how can i change the theme of an input method to match the default (light gray background, no borders around the letters) Aug 09 07:51:59 Hi. Can SharedPreferences contain different values based on the context? E.g. if I call context.getSharedPreferences("PREFS", Context.MODE_PRIVATE) where context is an activity or a service (of the same app) could I get different preferences? Aug 09 07:52:55 where can i find all of the default theme values? Aug 09 07:54:00 i want to change a color but i dont know what it's called Aug 09 09:22:39 I think latest Fedora 24 update broke AOSP build Aug 09 09:22:45 anyone experienced anything? Aug 09 09:52:08 can i have a buildflavor that's basically a copy of another, only with a few changes? sort of like inheritance of build flavors Aug 09 09:54:59 xorgate: I've not done it myself, but from what I understand, you can do that. It will take stuff it needs from the flavor, anything that's not defined in the flavor, it takes from default Aug 09 09:55:43 xorgate, with the permissions again... Hello man Aug 09 09:56:07 ZeNEX: hi :) Aug 09 09:56:14 I got the system to ask me for the location but it takes too long to appear and it gets blocked by a layout Aug 09 09:56:26 Its a layout with 6 buttons and it gets drawn before the permissions popup Aug 09 09:56:45 so it gets blocked by the layout, I have been sure of it. Aug 09 09:57:02 because everytime I click on the button the popup appears and then the next layout appears Aug 09 09:58:15 the flow goes like this -> requestPermissions(...) -> exit method -> perform if statement -> call to draw layout Aug 09 09:58:24 and it still does not have time to appear... Aug 09 09:58:35 should I sleep for X or something? Aug 09 09:58:45 ZeNEX: you are drawing things yourself? Aug 09 09:58:55 inflate layout -> ask for permissions -> wait Aug 09 09:59:03 xorgate, super.onCreate(savedInstanceState, R.layout.activity_request); Aug 09 10:11:53 Hey all. I installed android studio a few days ago and I ran into an issue my device wasn't showing up. Someone suggested running adb.exe devices and I tried and got an error. Aug 09 10:12:50 I decided I was going to install slackware and try again. I had to run WinDirStat to free up space to download the DVD so I could do a USB install. I stumbled on c:\ANdroid\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe Aug 09 10:13:00 slackware is always a good start... Aug 09 10:13:07 o.O Aug 09 10:13:18 is that a different adb.exe from the one you were running before? Aug 09 10:13:31 I bet the error was that it coulnd't find adb.exe Aug 09 10:13:34 I ran adb.exe in that location, and not the one in C:\documents and settings\ user\.local\appdata\android\sdk Aug 09 10:13:48 This time it started a daemon and listed my device. Aug 09 10:14:56 So I launged android studio, still doesn't appear, I suspect because the SDK is point to the wrong location. I changed the sdk in android studio and it wants to install build tools. Aug 09 10:15:08 This doesn't seem like normal procedure. Aug 09 10:15:12 "You have an open-alpha testing program; you cannot manage beta testing users while you have an open-alpha." Aug 09 10:15:16 will android users be able to install my future playstore app for free even if they aren't rooted? Aug 09 10:15:27 Can you not have open alpha testing and open beta testing? Aug 09 10:15:55 WrinkledCheese: so you have two different sdk paths Aug 09 10:16:04 Ashiren, it appears that way. Aug 09 10:16:11 easiest way would be to download build tools again Aug 09 10:16:15 From default install of android studio downloaded on Sunday Aug 09 10:16:23 as if you downloaded them, you did it in previous path Aug 09 10:16:26 I'm hoping that works. Aug 09 10:16:38 I'm not sure this POS can handle KDE or even XFCE. Aug 09 10:16:51 althought probably you could copy paste them but i dont know exact files Aug 09 10:17:08 huh Aug 09 10:17:14 how much ram Aug 09 10:17:23 I'm giving it a shot but I only came across this because I was trying to free up disk space trying to download Slackware. Aug 09 10:17:27 2GB Aug 09 10:17:36 Pentium 4 HT Aug 09 10:17:48 oh boy Aug 09 10:17:52 LOL Aug 09 10:19:22 :| Aug 09 10:19:33 I fear for your sanity WrinkledCheese Aug 09 10:19:54 Fear not! It's long gone. Aug 09 10:20:20 I plan on getting a new laptop when my income tax comes in....been audited 3 times this year....cause they keep fucking it up. Aug 09 10:20:21 RIP sanity Aug 09 10:20:35 I've been saving for a Macbook Pro Aug 09 10:20:49 They seem to last long and their resale value seems to be good too Aug 09 10:20:59 Would be the perfect laptop to work on the go Aug 09 10:22:41 Hi, I need this settled once and for all. Is it necessary/mandatory to have a "Restore Purchases" button on Android apps? I query all of the users purchases when starting the app and flag different booleans on the result to give the users their purchases. Shouldn't this be a more practical solution? Aug 09 10:23:18 and please, do correct me if I'm entirely wrong Aug 09 10:25:55 never seen a restore purchases button Aug 09 10:26:17 ^ same Aug 09 10:26:30 Zharf, really? In a lot of games I see them all the time. But so you do as me, and restore purchases automatically? Aug 09 10:26:38 yep Aug 09 10:26:51 alright, that was easier than I thought. Thanks Aug 09 10:27:03 what kind of items do the games sell? Aug 09 10:27:04 i think it's an ios thing Aug 09 10:27:28 Zharf, The latest example I saw would restore in-game currency. Aug 09 10:27:48 tjg1, yes on IOS it's a must. But I've been told before that it's good practice to have it on Android too Aug 09 10:28:27 Bernzel, I bet they have their own server that keeps track of the user's ingame spendings Aug 09 10:28:44 Ah okey, that might be it. Aug 09 10:28:54 because restoring consumables isn't something you can do otherwise Aug 09 10:29:24 yeah, I only use non-consumable products so Aug 09 10:30:20 What do you guys track for analytics? Just whenever users click on certain buttons which are supposed to do something, then whether or not that function was successful or not? Aug 09 10:30:58 screen views, some action clicks and errors Aug 09 10:33:08 remember that games often use cross-platform libraries Aug 09 10:33:29 so they might be just using the same ui for ios and android Aug 09 10:34:40 tjg1, good point Aug 09 10:34:45 i found a weird edge case that causes my app to crash Aug 09 10:35:25 fix itt Aug 09 10:37:14 I have a viewpager to display images full-screen that implements infinite scrolling. If the user views the last image on the given page (triggering infinite scrolling fetch in the background) and immediately swipes to the right, my app freezes and then crashes. No ANR dialog, no stacktrace, no exception thrown, nothing. Aug 09 10:45:10 Zharf: Screen views, where do you track that? I'm guessing whenever an activity / fragment is created? Aug 09 10:46:34 onresume Aug 09 10:47:38 it's a bit tricksy with viewpager thoguh Aug 09 10:47:40 yeah that makes sense, onCreate isn't called every time but onResume is Aug 09 10:47:54 Zharf: Why? Aug 09 10:50:01 because it resumes fragments to the side as well Aug 09 10:55:52 Sounds a bit confusing Aug 09 10:56:08 How would you handle that when doing analytics? Do you have a work around? Aug 09 11:03:51 pagechangelistener or whatever Aug 09 11:07:15 Zharf: How do you track views on Fragment, they don't have onResume()? Aug 09 11:08:05 onStart instead? Aug 09 11:09:02 ehm Aug 09 11:09:59 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/Fragment.html#onResume() Aug 09 11:10:11 Hello. Could someone explain why this app has this method @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); } Aug 09 11:10:28 How does that work Aug 09 11:10:33 but now that you mention it, I'm not sure if we do it in onStart or onResume... doesn't really matter though Aug 09 11:10:45 ZeNEX, ? Aug 09 11:11:53 it's just a regular overload that only calls the super method... Aug 09 11:12:04 it's the same as if it didn't exist Aug 09 11:12:30 Zharf: I only asked cause I can't override onResume within Fragment but can with onStart() Aug 09 11:12:46 Didn't mean fragment doesn't have onResume :D whoops Aug 09 11:13:08 why can't you override onResume? Aug 09 11:14:54 Zharf, so does it never get called? Aug 09 11:15:37 ZeNEX, it gets called Aug 09 11:15:57 but only thing it does is call the method it's overriding, so effectively it's the same if it didn't exist Aug 09 11:16:04 but if you add code to it then it's not the same anymore Aug 09 11:16:13 should I add code there? Aug 09 11:16:21 where should I add the permissions code Aug 09 11:16:42 taking into account its the first thing that I need Aug 09 11:19:49 https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html Aug 09 11:20:49 Zharf: nevermind, I am an idiot and realised I had already override it Aug 09 11:21:00 Didn't check it first Aug 09 11:21:01 whoops Aug 09 11:21:11 :) Aug 09 11:21:47 Means I can just put it in there now :) Aug 09 11:21:59 Cheers for the tip Zharf, I'm gonna test it out and see how it goes Aug 09 11:22:51 Why does Activity have onBackPressed() but Fragment doesn't? Aug 09 11:23:10 I'm using a key listener within my fragments to see if back has been pressed Aug 09 11:30:35 Okay, legit question Aug 09 11:31:11 Have any of you ever made an application where when executed you must choose to do A or B, and the criteria depends on the response of the permission system? Aug 09 11:31:53 I cannot go down either road until I get the permission Aug 09 11:31:58 so therefore I must wait Aug 09 11:32:04 how do I wait? Aug 09 11:32:10 ah locked bootloaders make life so hard Aug 09 11:32:35 markyosullivan, because the fragment may not be a part of an activity, thus it wouldn't make sense to have a onBackPressed callback. Aug 09 11:49:14 perfinion, you around? Aug 09 12:13:24 Can SharedPreferences contain different values based on the context? E.g. if I call context.getSharedPreferences("PREFS", Context.MODE_PRIVATE) where context is an activity or a service (both of the same app) could I get different preferences? Aug 09 12:13:26 ZeNEX: you could display a different fragment based on the result of the permission request Aug 09 12:13:32 or even start a new activity Aug 09 12:17:53 asimas: no they are shared. if you want to make a distinction, just use different keys Aug 09 12:18:53 xorgate, okay thanks, just wanted to make sure users are getting the same values when called getting prefs from different context. Aug 09 12:21:26 Guys are permissions given on an application level or on an activity level Aug 09 12:22:57 anyone using applovin sdk? Aug 09 12:28:15 ZeNEX: sup Aug 09 12:28:52 ZeNEX: perms are for the whole app, if a perm is revoked the app is killed and restarted so you never have to deal with suddenly not having hte perm if you had checked when the activity started Aug 09 12:31:34 Does anyone know, when I open a certain activity on my app, the keyboard pops up by default - this isn't a problem, but in doing so, it scrolls the screen up a little, is there a way to stop this? Aug 09 12:32:07 perfinion, thats great I didn't know that! Aug 09 12:32:26 suddenly it is so much easier now Aug 09 12:32:42 though what if you are in the middle of writing a file or something similar Aug 09 12:34:20 ZeNEX: well to revoke perms the user has to go into settings->app->find it->perms->revoke the one, so unless its a huge file you're probably not gonna run into that Aug 09 12:34:40 ZeNEX: also, it destroys it properly first, onDestroy() and stuff will be called so you can close the file Aug 09 12:35:19 if for example you're downloading a huge file you would need a way to resume it regardless since networks can be flakey Aug 09 13:11:29 asimas: Would it not be appropriate to have something similar to onBackPressed for Fragment? Aug 09 13:35:09 What is it called when you ship a feature in a disabled state and can enable (and disable) it again from your backend? Aug 09 13:36:42 On disc DLC? Aug 09 13:37:25 haha Aug 09 13:37:41 good one Aug 09 13:37:57 heh, more or less Aug 09 13:39:44 IBM CPUs? Aug 09 14:05:19 what’s the difference between an AVD and a system image in the android sdk? Aug 09 14:15:56 umib0zu, an avd uses a system imagr Aug 09 14:17:17 so… which one? I’m having trouble emulating a project using cordova. I think it’s an issue of the emulator not having the right dependencies, but I’m not sure since I just get a sparse error message saying there was an error, without telling me why. Aug 09 14:17:21 pfn ^^^ Aug 09 14:19:10 umib0zu: I've never seen anyone help anyone with cordova here Aug 09 14:19:33 'there was an error' is a good enough reason to avoid it Aug 09 14:19:42 haha you’re about right Aug 09 14:20:12 cordova’s a bit of an annoying wrapper for the android sdk Aug 09 14:23:55 umib0zu, you use one that represents the version of Android you want to run Aug 09 14:24:13 Cordova suck, don't use Aug 09 14:25:48 creating new project , what should be optimal target id? Aug 09 14:25:58 is 10 good enough ? Aug 09 14:27:23 Suppose I wanted to create a secure android app that would simply return responses. Other than creating a socket, SMS, or HTTP request, is there any other message handling requests I can create? Aug 09 14:27:52 pfn I think I’m starting to get it. I might need to “build” before “running" Aug 09 14:27:59 Komak57: UDP Aug 09 14:28:08 boodllebat: that's a socket Aug 09 14:28:40 Komak57: yes you can pass message to other process using msg queues and process will send that for you Aug 09 14:29:00 Komak57: but i'll use socket Aug 09 14:29:21 Komak57: when you said HTTP request and socket aren't they both same ? Aug 09 14:29:46 Komak57: you can use Curl Aug 09 14:30:06 umib0zu, in any IDE, run implies build.... Aug 09 14:30:34 In a lot of cases, HTTP is a TCP socket request, yes. I want the phone to essentially be in "server mode" if you will, where it will simply wait, disconnected, for a request. I was hoping that Google would have some kind of way to pass on requests if you give them, say, the email or public key of the device. Aug 09 14:32:30 in a lot of cases? Aug 09 14:34:08 Anybody had an issue with Google Play Game Services when it is stuck in loading animation when you try to log in? Aug 09 14:35:15 Not important pfn, the fact is that I need the phone to act as a disconnected server that jumps different networks at any given time, but needs to be connected to when a message is in que in the server. I can turn it into a client if I absolutely must, I was just hoping there was some low level message service that google may have implemented. Aug 09 14:36:36 If I create a client, it would either have to stay perpetually connected to receive messages, or ping frequently enough that any delay would be negligable (not really an option). Just hoping to avoid a constant connection. Aug 09 14:37:47 Im just getting into android, but I thought google did have messaging, as a google service or w.e Aug 09 14:39:28 called GCM Aug 09 14:39:31 Google Cloud Messaging Aug 09 14:41:09 That looks like it, thanks tx Aug 09 14:55:02 yo Aug 09 14:55:13 my gradle is looking for the sdk in a wrong place. how to change it? Aug 09 14:55:21 without android studio, just using files. Aug 09 15:00:48 Look at local.properties Aug 09 15:01:23 Mavrik: thanks dude Aug 09 15:07:59 Mavrik: see this: Aug 09 15:08:04 sdk.dir=C:\Users\tayeb\AppData\Local\Android\sdk Aug 09 15:08:07 it should be correct Aug 09 15:08:09 but when i do Aug 09 15:08:21 gradlew.bat assamble, it look into that same dir Aug 09 15:08:23 so for example Aug 09 15:08:33 e:\news\c:\... Aug 09 15:11:26 am i doing something wrong? Aug 09 15:11:33 anyone here using roughike's bottom bar? how do i make the colours of the icons show? it changes them to white... Aug 09 15:11:48 bottom bar still a thing ? :P Aug 09 15:11:53 was it ever a thing :D Aug 09 15:12:31 well what else to use? Aug 09 15:13:38 (other than building my own) Aug 09 15:13:57 thornekey i was referring to the UI pattern, not the library itself ... Aug 09 15:14:11 oh i see. my mistake. but yea, i think it looks good Aug 09 15:14:21 design guidelines does too ahaha Aug 09 15:14:33 is it not used much on android, i know iOS apps use it a lot Aug 09 15:18:50 i think i may have solved it though tbh ahah Aug 09 15:21:38 g00s: isn't it a thing all over again? Aug 09 15:22:56 i think they are going around in circles now :D Aug 09 15:24:22 I look forward to the thing they've been hiding for N - a new global theme, dubbed "Tron Legacy" which bears no relation whatsoever to anything to do with bees Aug 09 15:25:13 pics? Aug 09 15:25:47 I could show you, but I'd have to kill your Google account Aug 09 15:25:57 that's okay Aug 09 15:26:00 I'll log out ;) Aug 09 15:27:46 Leeds i'm looking forward to google fixing the security update situation my modularizing the OS Aug 09 15:28:38 soft-ara? Aug 09 15:28:44 Hmm, ive given my users the option to log in with facebook or log in with a custom account, however if they log in with my custom log in they cant see facebook users names Aug 09 15:28:53 as there is no facebook auth token Aug 09 15:28:58 how do i solve this Aug 09 15:29:04 i remember back in 2010, 2011 - i even chatted with romainguy about it /back then/ he didn't believe me when i said the way this is handled, will become a disaster. now its 5 years later. if they worked on it, we'd be OK by now Aug 09 15:32:17 Leeds have you seen copperhead ? http://arstechnica.co.uk/security/2016/08/copperhead-os-fix-android-security/ Aug 09 15:33:00 i see what they are trying to do; but think the problem lies more in the OS needs to be more modular for updates by OEMs like windows + their driver model Aug 09 15:35:17 do we need developer console to add maps into our app ? Aug 09 15:35:38 is it mandatory ? cause i dont have a developer account ? Aug 09 15:36:33 Don't you need an account to release your app? Aug 09 15:38:45 ResidentBiscuit: i'll look that later currently i'm just developing it , i'll buy dev account when i'm about to complete my app does that sound reasonable to you ? Aug 09 15:39:03 Does it even cost money? Aug 09 15:39:40 Oh, it does. 25 bucks Aug 09 15:39:45 25 USD Aug 09 15:40:32 ResidentBiscuit: so is it mandatory ? Aug 09 15:40:44 ResidentBiscuit: for maps ? Aug 09 15:41:02 ResidentBiscuit: i've coded my server i've test it with maps Aug 09 15:41:12 Kind of looks that way. Not sure, I never looked for a way without having an account. You get your key in the dev console, I'm not sure how else you would get one Aug 09 15:41:29 It is just a one time registration fee if that makes it any easier Aug 09 15:41:35 ResidentBiscuit: ah thanks anyways Aug 09 15:45:10 anybody else who knows , that can i use maps without google developer console or not ? Aug 09 15:46:19 dont u need to get a auth cert from them Aug 09 15:46:29 which comes with the dev console account Aug 09 15:46:46 think its free if ur not a business or something but youll have to confirm that yourself Aug 09 15:47:39 thornekey: is developer console different from that android developer console ? Aug 09 15:48:13 thornekey: yes! its free Aug 09 15:48:21 thornekey: thanks Aug 09 15:48:45 think its the same account, cant remember, been a while since i used google maps api Aug 09 15:48:54 https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key Aug 09 15:49:02 thornekey: no google API console is different Aug 09 15:49:22 ahk Aug 09 15:49:25 Then I don't know. You seem to already have the answer you want, just waiting for someone to agree with you Aug 09 15:49:32 You can google as well as we can Aug 09 15:49:41 there is also a Premium Plan Aug 09 15:49:45 for business owners Aug 09 15:50:08 thornekey: yes but i'm just on development mode so i need free thing Aug 09 15:50:10 which i think u must use if you have a certain amount of users making requests on the map Aug 09 15:50:15 yea just use free Aug 09 15:50:19 AFAIK you need to pay the 25 dollars to get your developer account, then you can get keys to whatever api you want Aug 09 15:50:40 ResidentBiscuit, i thought the 25$ was to publish on the google play store? Aug 09 15:51:06 You pay 25 dollars to create your account, which you need (from what I know) to get API keys Aug 09 15:51:42 hmm Aug 09 15:51:46 maybe its changed since i used it Aug 09 15:52:08 ive not paid yet and ive used google maps api with a key assigned to my account Aug 09 15:52:12 (a while ago though) Aug 09 15:52:39 ResidentBiscuit: hey i got my API key Aug 09 15:52:46 Going through the process again just to see, and yeah it requires payment Aug 09 15:52:58 No i did not pay any usd's Aug 09 15:53:02 Great Aug 09 15:53:12 but to publish you definitely need to pay Aug 09 15:53:18 ResidentBiscuit: https://console.developers.google.com Aug 09 15:53:43 thornekey: yes i know that Aug 09 15:53:55 Free trial? Aug 09 15:57:06 Hello, i have a problem with my main activity. I got a progressBar incremented during the loading of data. But it seems that the GUI is refreshed only when all the stuff is done. So I have a very long flash screen, and no progressbar Aug 09 15:57:37 Can I force a GUI refresh ? Aug 09 16:01:46 ResidentBiscuit: i just logged in from my default account , and a pending project was already there i just deleted it and created new , i dont know if its a trial or not Aug 09 16:02:03 ResidentBiscuit: that pending project was about 3-4 yrs old Aug 09 16:08:18 Should I put all the graphic stuff on the "onStart()" ?

Aug 09 17:02:28 (new to android development btw) Aug 09 17:03:03 I am thinking of something like a server running on a particular port. You send a command to it, it opens website, takes data and returns you the data Aug 09 17:03:48 yes Aug 09 17:04:52 elosz, nanohttpd Aug 09 17:06:02 pfn: It worked! you good bro Aug 09 17:06:48 bitkiller: looks nice. But for such a simple stuff, do I need maven and and all that which nanohttpd uses? Aug 09 17:07:06 wouldn't writing a custom server be easier and lightweight? Aug 09 17:07:21 pfn: now i can compile my project , here take this song its a gift from me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyWbqAtsZQc Aug 09 17:09:29 Hi all. What's the best way to get a persistent icon in the status bar with no normal notification, just the icon? Aug 09 17:10:34 Basically, I have an app that's paired to a single custom bluetooth device-- when the app is open, I need a status bar icon that shows the status of the connection to our bluetooth device Aug 09 17:10:59 elosz, that was a starting point for me Aug 09 17:11:23 i removed some of their code i would not use Aug 09 17:13:19 liuwenhao, persistent notification Aug 09 17:13:48 liuwenhao: Notification Manager gives that doesn't it ? Aug 09 17:14:25 elosz, i think you could add it as a dependency in your project and use it as is Aug 09 17:14:40 bitkiller: cool, will take a look Aug 09 17:15:04 liuwenhao: i dont know but i guess https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html has it all what you need Aug 09 17:17:43 @pfn @boodllebat thank you Aug 09 17:17:49 can anyone recommend tools to help design a database.. like visualization tools?
