**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 23 02:59:58 2016 Aug 23 03:36:46 hi Aug 23 03:37:59 Volley isn't sending to my server. http://localhost:3000/api - Followed this guide: https://developer.android.com/training/volley/simple.html - com.android.volleyNoConnectionError ECONNREFUSED Aug 23 03:38:12 How do I allow it to send to my server? Aug 23 03:42:44 is 'localhost' really what you want ? Aug 23 03:43:18 are the api 24 sources supposed to be in the sdk manager ? Aug 23 03:43:28 * g00s confused Aug 23 03:55:15 bankai_: During testing yes, during production I'll end up setting it up as a constant set by gradle rather than a string constant in the code Aug 23 03:56:08 g00s: Yeah not yet, I'm waiting for them also, use API 23 in the meantime if you want easy debugging Aug 23 03:56:27 * AlecTaylor even tried cloning the entire Android platform, but the sources didn't sync through Aug 23 04:02:51 isn't 10.0.2.2 what you want? Aug 23 04:06:14 When you get close to a Pokestop, you can spin it around and get Pokeballs Aug 23 04:06:21 I did not know that Aug 23 04:08:11 hello! anyone got upgrade to 7.0 yet ? Aug 23 04:08:27 Ologn: I got pokestop at home Aug 23 04:09:17 my carrier blocks OTA :( i won't get it for a month Aug 23 04:10:43 gordon_, what luck! Aug 23 04:18:32 * gordon_ is feeling superior Aug 23 04:18:50 but it's get boring around level 18 / 1 9 Aug 23 04:19:01 and I dont feel like paying for boosts :D Aug 23 04:19:26 hope they will change the gameplay to more fighting and closer to original pokemon game Aug 23 04:25:06 amazing that pokemon go game - one of the most downloaded games ever, and the hype only lasted like 1-2 weeks Aug 23 04:37:09 g00s: whats funny is before pokemon go came out i was working on something i was calling "pixel pets" which was very very similar Aug 23 04:39:43 orbyt_ i haven't played the game, but heard that while its fun, the impl is kinda mediocre Aug 23 04:39:52 having played it either lol Aug 23 04:40:04 orbyt_ maybe pixel pets will be a hit with VR/AR /tango Aug 23 04:40:59 Mine actually wasnt AR based Aug 23 04:41:15 nobody uses AR feature Aug 23 04:41:20 it's lagging like crazy Aug 23 04:41:32 well the reason it was popular was ofc the pokemon brand Aug 23 04:41:34 but I forgot.. unity :D Aug 23 04:41:39 minus that, its nothing special Aug 23 04:47:49 hi Aug 23 04:51:33 hi Aug 23 04:51:38 hi Aug 23 04:51:42 what's news? Aug 23 05:01:40 thepoosh lol, waiting for api 24 source code :/ Aug 23 05:01:51 thought at least that would pop up in sdk manager Aug 23 05:01:57 did they not push it yet? Aug 23 05:02:12 maybe its in AOSP github repo Aug 23 05:22:51 <_genuser_> hello people. Aug 23 05:23:18 <_genuser_> is it typical for you guys to see build times of 5-10 minutes on barebones projects in AS? Aug 23 05:23:29 <_genuser_> I'm wondering why it's that slow. I just upgraded the RAM to 16GB. Aug 23 05:32:01 take a look at this: https://medium.com/@101/speed-up-gradle-build-in-android-studio-80a5f74ac9ed#.3qart0kk2 Aug 23 05:35:00 if you're on windows some virus scanners can be killers Aug 23 05:36:33 literally everyone knows windows is a spyware for the us govt Aug 23 05:36:40 we need to move to linux Aug 23 05:37:24 coz linux is perfect in every way, right? :0/ Aug 23 05:38:38 phil__: most linuxes have NSALinux enabled by default ;-) Aug 23 05:38:52 linux is open source Aug 23 05:39:01 they cant add us govt malware without us knowing Aug 23 05:39:41 oh you sweet innocent summer child Aug 23 05:39:43 sure they can Aug 23 05:39:53 do you sit there and read the source? Aug 23 05:39:58 they can just compile the binaries from another source :P Aug 23 05:40:12 also yeah Aug 23 05:40:15 you a quick reader mate? Aug 23 05:40:20 the kernel alone has a butt load of code Aug 23 05:40:21 you know someone does read the source Aug 23 05:40:26 out there Aug 23 05:40:26 blah blah thompson hack Aug 23 05:40:29 phil__: yes Aug 23 05:40:32 it is called auditing Aug 23 05:43:18 phil__: OpenBSD claims to be truly open and therefore secure with lots of auditing but you are still responsible for not installing closed stuff, like nvidia drivers to get 3D working Aug 23 05:54:43 <_genuser_> bankai_: sorry, was googling. thanks for the link, I'll look. Aug 23 05:55:25 <_genuser_> I don't ... *gasp* have a virus scanner. Aug 23 05:56:53 <_genuser_> it's still faster than yesterday, so the increased RAM helped. the general UI is much much more responsive. the build process itself hasn't improved, but I'll continue working on it to fix it up. Aug 23 06:00:06 <_genuser_> wait wait, so gradle is just a batch file? Aug 23 06:01:58 hi Aug 23 06:02:03 Volley isn't sending to my server. http://localhost:3000/api - Followed this guide: https://developer.android.com/training/volley/simple.html - com.android.volleyNoConnectionError ECONNREFUSED Aug 23 06:02:07 How do I allow it to send to my server? Aug 23 06:02:42 does the phone know localhost is your server, not phone's localhost? Aug 23 06:02:52 Ohhhh Aug 23 06:02:54 haha Aug 23 06:02:55 :) Aug 23 06:02:58 nice one AlecTaylor Aug 23 06:03:06 n00b mistake >.< Aug 23 06:03:07 ahaha Aug 23 06:03:19 * AlecTaylor has been doing to my JavaScript Aug 23 06:03:47 Man I really dislike Medium. Aug 23 06:04:43 A lot of articles seem like they were just written because the author wanted to write something and couldn't think of what to write, so they just took a well known concept and write an essay on it Aug 23 06:05:01 Ashiren / tx: How do I tell it to hit my localhost? - I just tried using my $hostname, but that didn't work. Do I need to setup some networking stuff in the emulator? Aug 23 06:05:19 point it to your IP address on your LAN Aug 23 06:05:20 it should work Aug 23 06:07:17 YAY that worked Aug 23 06:07:30 Thanks tx / Ashiren - Ofrickn' n00b today >.< Aug 23 06:07:42 * AlecTaylor is being a frickn' n00b today >.< Aug 23 06:08:33 hi Aug 23 06:08:57 can i show date something like TextClock for time? Aug 23 06:17:48 zedz: You want a DatePicker? - https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/DatePicker.html Aug 23 06:18:26 https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/pickers.html Aug 23 06:23:02 anyone use rocksdb on android ? Aug 23 06:24:36 ah shit whats the story here, needs some mission nio stuff ... Aug 23 06:24:40 <_genuser_> sorry, don't even have an idea on what it is. Aug 23 06:24:42 *missing Aug 23 06:26:33 g00s: Using it with the NDK? Aug 23 06:26:54 well, jni - don't want to build it Aug 23 06:28:36 rockdbjni Aug 23 06:29:48 <_genuser_> man, I have no idea how to even setup my UI. heh. Aug 23 06:30:34 g00s: It is on Maven Aug 23 06:30:52 * AlecTaylor runs off to basketball Aug 23 06:31:14 <_genuser_> I have a nav drawer and I need to set it up so that when an item on the nav draw is select, the main activity has a new fragment added to it, with tabs, pagerview, etc. etc. Aug 23 06:31:30 <_genuser_> but I have a default activity layout where the tabs and pagerview is already there. Aug 23 06:32:51 <_genuser_> considering altering the TabLayout and ViewPager on nav item selection. Aug 23 07:03:35 I was reading the material design spec Aug 23 07:03:42 what exactly is text contrast ratio? Aug 23 07:08:04 ignore that Aug 23 07:12:01 Whyyyyyyy is gradle such a pain Aug 23 07:12:21 Hi! I can't get Application Cache to work in – just prints ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED in offline :/ Aug 23 07:12:37 any tips? Aug 23 07:12:46 define application cache? Aug 23 07:12:51 yeah, I've tried Aug 23 07:13:06 String appCachePath = this.getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath(); WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview); WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings(); webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webSettings.setDatabaseEnabled(true); webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true); webSettings.setAllowFileAccess(true); webSettings.setAppCacheMaxSi Aug 23 07:13:30 ..and permissions:

Aug 23 07:13:33 what exactly are you trying to do? wrap a webpage in an android app? Aug 23 07:13:40 webpage Aug 23 07:13:44 yeah Aug 23 07:13:48 locally hosted* as in on the device? Aug 23 07:14:01 no it's external site Aug 23 07:14:16 oh i see now im sorry Aug 23 07:14:41 web app in with offline support (HTML5 application cache).. Aug 23 07:14:56 web app with offline support (HTML5 application cache).. Aug 23 07:16:09 afraid i wont be of much assistance in that realm. I dabbled with what I mentioned earlier (don't ask why...) but not with caching online resources for later use. good luck. Aug 23 07:21:51 Weird question, my API server just had ~230,000 Android clients simultaneously make a request to update their push tokens. Is this something normal/expected? Aug 23 07:22:53 ok thanks Aug 23 07:26:02 hello... i'm trying to use a VectorDrawableCompat to draw the same vector image multiple times (it's an icon being drawn on certain Keyboard.Key keys), but it is drawn in different sizes and in the wrong locations Aug 23 07:26:41 i am loading the VectorDrawableCompat with VectorDrawableCompat.create() in the class constructor for my KeyboardView, and then i am calling myIcon.setBounds(...); myIcon.draw(canvas) for each Key that needs the icon Aug 23 07:26:48 is that wrong? Aug 23 07:39:43 what's wrong with this code guys? http://pastebin.com/uH3XP9mv I'm expecting to have an hole rectangle Aug 23 07:39:49 but it doesn't show nothing Aug 23 07:53:10 <_genuser_> ok, the nav selection creating specific tabs on page working fine. Aug 23 07:53:12 <_genuser_> phew Aug 23 08:24:33 any linux users of android-studio get this msg before: JDK Required: 'tools.jar' seems to be not in Studio classpath. Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE. Aug 23 08:28:42 did you check what it said Aug 23 08:29:32 So, I know how I can brand our app differently using Gradle, and I know I can write whole new Java files for each brand. but in those Java files, do I have to contain the WHOLE java file, or can I just override certain class methods/properties? Aug 23 08:29:59 raj: where does your JAVA_HOME point to? Aug 23 08:31:44 sdousley, java doesn't have a thing for combining TUs so you can't really do it partially. You can separate the implementation into another file and override that though Aug 23 08:32:14 yeah, that's what I thought would be the case :) Just thought I would check before I did it. Aug 23 08:32:30 Zharf: what's a TU out of interest? Aug 23 08:33:02 translation unit... it's more of a C thing I guess :p Aug 23 08:33:09 ah fair enough Aug 23 08:33:23 I just know that the xml files that defined values could be merged, Aug 23 08:33:35 so thought I would check if the Java files could, though I did highly doubt it was possible :) Aug 23 08:33:45 there's some gradle things that do magic for that Aug 23 08:33:47 sdousley: As someone who mostly codes in Lisp, I feel that pain all the time when I have to do Android development. Aug 23 08:33:54 for xml that is Aug 23 08:34:02 Zharf: yeah, I did suspect that Aug 23 08:34:25 technically you could write something similar for java Aug 23 08:34:30 loke__: It's not so much of a pain, just wanted a feature available to a specific brand, but if it has to go in all brands, it's fine. Aug 23 08:34:55 would prefer it just in 1 brand, but I'd rather just whack it in all than have to create/maintain extra java files Aug 23 08:35:00 sdousley: Yeah, I know. Everything can be done. It's just usually easier in Lisp :-) Aug 23 08:35:28 In particular, when doing Java I miss the ability to run code during the compilation phase. Aug 23 08:35:34 ah, I've never done Lisp myself. Aug 23 08:36:03 I'm mostly a PHP dev. But for where I work, I've developed a native Android/iOS app for the company Aug 23 08:36:36 sdousley: It's kind of nice. Sadly a lot of times you are constrained to specific architectures, like Java for Android development (although you can make things a bit nicer using languages like Kotlin) Aug 23 08:36:58 tbh, Java doesn't bother me that much, it's the ONE language I did EVERY semester at Uni Aug 23 08:37:07 so picking it up again wasn't that bad Aug 23 08:37:18 I found the iOS app way harder having to learn Swift at the same time. Aug 23 08:37:34 and from what I can tell, Swift is easier to get the grips of than Obj-C Aug 23 08:37:46 plus, working on a Mac for iOS dev :( hehe Aug 23 08:38:16 swift... you're lucky Aug 23 08:38:21 Home/end which take you to the first/last line of the document rather than to the start/end of the line was the biggest pain I came across Aug 23 08:38:29 one of* Aug 23 08:38:37 * loke__ did some Objc for an OSX application long ago. It wasn't particularly fun. Aug 23 08:38:58 It seems as though most of the things I disliked about Objc/Cocoa is still there in Swift. Aug 23 08:39:01 Zharf: hehe yeah, well, it was a brand new app, which was released well after iOS8, so we had the ability to enforce iOS8+ so we could use Swift Aug 23 08:39:12 is it possible to get cached object from DrawableRequestBuilder object Aug 23 08:39:49 loke__, but at least it's saner syntax Aug 23 08:42:42 Zharf: Yes, for sure :-) Objc is kidna insane. Aug 23 08:46:30 loke__: Zharf I think that was the main thing that swayed me to Swift, that the syntax looked decidedly more readable, let alone writable than ObjC Aug 23 08:47:10 If I had done Obj-C Before, I would have just done that. but having done no C/C++/Obj-C before, and with swift "looking nicer" i went that way hehe Aug 23 08:47:10 sdousley: Ah yes. I'm not in any way suggesting that Objc is better than Swift. If you have to develop an Iphone application, of course Swift is the way to go. Aug 23 08:47:36 I'm just glad I don't have to do any Iphone nor OSX development, which means I can stay away from both Swify and Objc. Aug 23 08:47:57 loke__: it did mean I had to do a bridging header though, as we used an SDK that was Obj-C hehe Aug 23 08:48:04 loke__: I envy you :P Aug 23 08:48:11 I would happily just do Android Dev I think Aug 23 08:48:33 sdousley: Don't envy me too much. I also am exposed to a tens-of-millions of lines of C++ code base at work. Aug 23 08:48:54 Thankfully I can also do Lisp. :-) Aug 23 08:49:30 c++ <3 Aug 23 08:49:45 c++ <3 <3 <3 Aug 23 08:49:48 haha yeah, I think I could maybe read C++ I did 1 unit of it at uni, though thatw as like 6-8 weeks I think, so nothing major Aug 23 08:50:08 plus, Uni was > 10 years ago now (That makes me feel old!) Aug 23 08:50:31 here, read my masterpieces; http://eclipser.xmms2.org/test.cc.html or https://git.xmms2.org/xmms2/gx2osd/tree/src/playlist_language.cc Aug 23 08:51:05 Zharf: Thanks :-) Aug 23 08:51:06 I am also exposed to people here who don't know how to follow standards (or at least follow them as/when they want to) Aug 23 08:51:28 I'm unsure how to use Cipher for encryption and decryption. Is it alright to use the same instance for both tasks? Most SO posts create separate instances to each task. Specifically, is this good: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23080768/ Aug 23 08:51:42 Zharf: My private project is this: https://github.com/cicakhq/potato Aug 23 08:52:09 emacs client, figures Aug 23 08:52:18 that's why I never really got into lisp that much, I'm a vimmer Aug 23 08:52:21 :P Aug 23 08:52:48 Zharf: Well, you can write a Vimscript client if you want. If you're machosistic enough, that is :-) Aug 23 08:53:15 no point, vim's not my operating system ;) Aug 23 08:55:57 Zharf: any idea? Aug 23 08:56:03 sorry what Aug 23 08:56:25 what's wrong with this code guys? http://pastebin.com/uH3XP9mv I'm expecting to have an hole rectangle Aug 23 08:57:32 If I draw directly on the canvas a transparent rectangle, I get a black one. So I've read you should create a new bitmap, draw a transparent rectangle and then draw the new bitmap to the canvas Aug 23 08:59:44 your view doesn't have a size Aug 23 09:00:41 also I'm confused by the whole thing Aug 23 09:00:51 what is it that you want to accomplish Aug 23 09:01:40 to create an hole in a view so I can see the view behind Aug 23 09:01:41 nm sdousley I followed a solution I found on googl Aug 23 09:01:42 e Aug 23 09:01:43 thanks Aug 23 09:01:53 Zharf: of course, it's declared in the XML Aug 23 09:03:27 but currently your view is essentially drawing nothing Aug 23 09:03:32 so I'm confused Aug 23 09:05:59 why you say so? the view draws a transparent rectangle Aug 23 09:06:21 but views are inherently transparent... Aug 23 09:07:10 in the XML I set a background.. Aug 23 09:07:32 don't Aug 23 09:07:49 why? Aug 23 09:07:57 also, why are you drawing at 200x200 a 200x200 rect on a 20x20 bitmap? Aug 23 09:08:41 haha, forget about it Aug 23 09:10:42 so you want to make some sort of border overlay thing I guess? Aug 23 09:10:56 that's right Aug 23 09:11:31 but I think the code is fine, I think I should draw the 'background' Aug 23 09:11:53 but it's not? therefore the code isn't fine Aug 23 09:13:17 so far I just draw a transparent rectangle but as you told, the view is transparent so I can't see it. What's wrong with the code besides the sizes? Aug 23 09:14:42 honestly, I would do this in xml unless you have some specific requirements to do it in code Aug 23 09:15:38 how then? Aug 23 09:16:37 http://5ca514740abe0570.paste.se/ something like this? Aug 23 09:18:05 in all examples involving asynctask, I see people defining the task outside of an android activity. Is there a way to declare one inside an activity (so as to play with UI elements on onPostExecute()? Aug 23 09:18:30 all examples that I've seen* Aug 23 09:19:00 yes because this way youre sure it wont leak acitivty reference Aug 23 09:19:25 if you need update UI things, you should provide them to your task (as WeakReference) Aug 23 09:19:38 yeah I guess that's the only way huh? Aug 23 09:19:51 well you could of course make the inner class Aug 23 09:20:10 derp... Aug 23 09:20:22 but for programming practices its a bit no-no Aug 23 09:20:33 there was this project that I did some fixing on a few months ago that used asynctasks for everything Aug 23 09:21:01 I rotated the device a couple of times and it would crash because it tried to post 128th task to the queue Aug 23 09:21:06 Ashiren: yeah, I did Inner classes, and in the recent updates to our app, I pulled them out into their own class files, feels WAY neater now. Aug 23 09:21:25 I wish asynctask didn't exist Aug 23 09:21:32 they are a bit of a pain Aug 23 09:21:47 Zharf: yeah, I don't really get WHY you can't do things that HAVE to be done in AsyncTask in the Activity. Aug 23 09:22:26 well you have to do IO/networking stuff in background, not neccessarilly AsyncTask Aug 23 09:22:33 Unfortunately, our app does quite a bit of Network related stuff, so AFAIK, that has to be done in AsyncTask Aug 23 09:22:50 no, it needs to be done in another thread Aug 23 09:22:55 ah ok Aug 23 09:22:56 nothing forces you to use asynctasks Aug 23 09:23:08 I've not used one in years Aug 23 09:23:12 I guess they have just become the most common method of achieving it though? Aug 23 09:23:12 sdousley: I'm using AsyncTask Aug 23 09:23:24 Are you doing networking requests? Aug 23 09:23:29 Look into Retrofit 2 Aug 23 09:23:32 well for networking stuff i use retrofit Aug 23 09:23:37 * Zharf nods Aug 23 09:23:45 Ashiren: Finally getting round to looking at it myself Aug 23 09:23:50 markyosullivan: yeah, HTTP calls/responses to an API Aug 23 09:23:58 for more manually background stuff i use executor and put runnables there Aug 23 09:23:58 yeah, look into Retrofit Aug 23 09:24:01 it's really nice Aug 23 09:24:05 got a link? Aug 23 09:24:10 http://square.github.io/retrofit/ Aug 23 09:24:11 I just converted everything to OKHttp Aug 23 09:24:20 Ashiren, which is essentially what asynctask is Aug 23 09:24:22 Retrofit 2 uses OkHttp Aug 23 09:24:41 or should I say Retrofit 2.0 before I annoy someone :d Aug 23 09:24:42 * :D Aug 23 09:24:44 asynctask's problem is that the executor is static so you end up leaking everything Aug 23 09:24:52 hehe is it OkHttp 2 or 3 it uses? Aug 23 09:24:59 3 Aug 23 09:25:02 cos the SDK we use requires OkHttp 2 Aug 23 09:25:12 Zharf: that's nice, would be possible to set the dimension of the hole instead of the border? Aug 23 09:25:14 or can you use 2 and 3 concurrently? Aug 23 09:25:19 eeyup Aug 23 09:25:20 I was going to look into OkHttp and then Retrofit, glad I did it the other way around :D Aug 23 09:25:42 Got the app released publicly yesterday Aug 23 09:25:44 gdrc: hole = size - border. Aug 23 09:25:56 markyosullivan: what app? :) Aug 23 09:26:16 sdousley: yes but how can I do some calculation on the xml? Aug 23 09:26:48 The app for the company I work for, I'm not overly pleased with the design but we were told to get a lite version of it into customers hands Aug 23 09:28:07 sdousley, okhttp 2 and 3 can be used in the same project Aug 23 09:28:11 they're in different packages Aug 23 09:28:13 gdrc: but the XML is static, so just define your values. Aug 23 09:28:16 Leeds: PM me and I'll link it to you, bit nervous to post it and let everyone see it :D Aug 23 09:28:25 Hi. I am trying to traverse the API documentation but it is very unclear. Is there a way to get the color depth and type of image from a Bitmap? Aug 23 09:28:53 AsyncTask ***AND*** JSONObject doInBackground(Object[] params) {<--- errors out the whole class... whyyyyyy Aug 23 09:30:05 Jesperhead: what's the error? Aug 23 09:30:10 there are a lot Aug 23 09:30:15 its an issue with the types Aug 23 09:30:25 because String tmp and String... args works fine Aug 23 09:31:42 I just changed one of my AsyncTasks and that seems to work with the 2 bits you have there Aug 23 09:32:21 curses. thanks for the input Aug 23 09:32:32 let me just paste the start of my class Aug 23 09:32:39 gdrc, you could do the calculation in code and set the strokeWidth on the paint of the background drawable of your view Aug 23 09:32:50 oh Aug 23 09:33:10 look. i defined Object[] in the AsycTask declaration Aug 23 09:33:17 Jesperhead: http://pastebin.com/9y1LPGi4 Aug 23 09:33:18 that works for me Aug 23 09:33:19 as params. that's a paddling. Aug 23 09:33:42 I think it's your params in the AsyncTask<> that's the issue. Aug 23 09:33:59 you're just defining the type within <> not the variable to assign it to Aug 23 09:34:07 gdrc, like http://stackoverflow.com/a/28647288/857853 Aug 23 09:34:15 Jesperhead: AsyncTask Aug 23 09:34:19 yep Aug 23 09:34:31 gdrc, except in your case it's ShapeDrawable, not GradientDrawable Aug 23 09:35:37 gdrc, and since ShapeDrwable doesn't actaully have setStroke, you can use getPaint().setStrokeWidth Aug 23 09:35:51 ok thanks I will have a look Aug 23 09:43:07 Ok, is openCV for android foobar? Aug 23 09:43:21 I think I have spent 6 hours just trying to get it to compile properly. Aug 23 09:47:57 Hello, anyone knows if it's possible to launch an app from a locked device like when you get called over skype or whatsapp or the alarm clocks?. Aug 23 09:49:20 I'm getting "Android Nougat requires the IDE to be running with Java 1.8 or later" but in Project Structure I am actually running that version, is the IDE slow or something? Aug 23 09:49:48 It's telling you to run Android Studio with Java 1.8. Aug 23 09:49:57 In project structure you're setting up which java to use for compilation. Aug 23 09:50:23 anyone tried it? Aug 23 09:50:44 <_genuser_> darn AndroidStudio insistence to play with my mercurial repo. Aug 23 09:52:03 Anyone tried launching an app from a locked device like Skype or an alarm clock? Aug 23 09:55:44 Mavrik, oh right Aug 23 09:57:32 Anyone? Aug 23 09:57:53 Mavrik, sorry but how do I setup the java version for the IDE? Aug 23 09:58:42 For example when you get a call in whatsapp or skype or Alarm clocks and so on, I managed to make my app keep running in the background and display notifications in a locked screen but not launch the whole app Aug 23 10:05:02 huptoka: I don't actually know what it's called, so I can't find official references, but apparently that's a specific mode used by things like skype and alarm clocks... Aug 23 10:05:52 it seems to be referred to as 'full screen interruption' at least in the N notification controls Aug 23 10:19:28 I have a few imagebuttons that I need to change the width/height of during runtime and not in the layout file, what's the best way of doing so? .setLeft() etc? Aug 23 10:19:30 Leeds: I need a little bit more concrete Aug 23 10:20:28 sorry, can't help with that Aug 23 10:20:48 huptoka: look for FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED Aug 23 10:21:07 afair its a flag you put in activity's WindowManager Aug 23 10:21:17 so it is shown on locked screen Aug 23 10:27:56 no I mean, launch the whole application like Skype or the Alarm clocks or WhatsAp Aug 23 10:28:12 Ashiren, I need something concrete not "look for flag" :P Aug 23 10:30:04 WAKE_LOCK seems to be a requirement Aug 23 10:30:17 but can't find anything, no examples, nothing, it's pretty common tho Aug 23 10:32:41 they even have apps for turning on your screen when you get a notification Aug 23 10:35:00 anyone knows how Skype, WhatsApp, and every alarm clock unlocks your device from the background with sound? Even when sound is muted? Aug 23 10:41:20 How do I set constants in Android from Gradle? - I've tried: http://stackoverflow.com/a/17201265 - But in R.java I get `public static final int api_prefix=0x7f060017` rather than a string :< Aug 23 10:41:52 (which is read in as 2131099671 from R.string.api_prefix Aug 23 10:41:54 ) Aug 23 10:43:01 nvm, figured it out, needed to call `context.getString` Aug 23 10:46:29 Hi folks. Quick question. How can I get the current locale used in the app? For example, my device runs on nl_NL but my app only has en_US support, I want to get ´en_US´ back Aug 23 10:46:48 I thought ¨context.getResources().getConfiguration().locale.toString()¨ did that, but it doesn´t Aug 23 10:47:59 i'm doing that right now @Ywa Aug 23 10:48:16 Locale.getDefault() this get you the default from phone Aug 23 10:49:23 Hmm. Actually it seems my app is using a third party library with many localizations, that´s why it doesn´t work as expected. Aug 23 10:49:35 Now I need to find a way to limit the locales Aug 23 10:50:00 right know i have the problem because i want the locale to be the country where the phone is Aug 23 10:50:04 so a used this Aug 23 10:50:11 https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/oDXePnkS/ Aug 23 10:50:33 first i try to get by the phone cell Aug 23 10:50:55 and in case of null use the defualt Aug 23 10:50:57 default Aug 23 10:51:58 I can´t help you with that unfortunately Aug 23 10:52:21 Can someone please explain to me why this happens during some fingerprint code: android.security.KeyStoreException: Key user not authenticated Aug 23 10:52:34 I mean, explain in details. Aug 23 10:53:12 @Zta77 sory no idea, never work with that :S Aug 23 10:53:52 I just found this which I'll try to read: https://blog.stylingandroid.com/user-authentication-part-1/ =) Aug 23 10:56:56 Let me rephrase my question: A third party lib I use supports many locales. Can I disable them and only force my apps locales/localizations? Thanks in advance. Aug 23 10:57:50 Ywa: The most recent episode of Android Developers Backstage discussed exactly that. Aug 23 10:58:05 http://androidbackstage.blogspot.sg/2016/08/episode-54-aapt.html Aug 23 10:58:25 Thanks loke__ Aug 23 11:16:15 Zharf: I ended up with another solution Aug 23 11:16:36 Which also is very dynamic, are you interested to see it? Aug 23 11:24:01 hi Aug 23 11:24:23 how can i send data via IntentFilter? Aug 23 11:25:09 zedz: what do you mean? From an external app for example? Aug 23 11:26:29 I have a fragment, which is call a BroadcastReciever Aug 23 11:26:43 and i want to pass a data from the fragment to the reciever Aug 23 11:27:21 Ah, I'm not sure on that I'm afraid, I was working on some bits yesterday, passing in data from a URL to the app. That uses Intent Filters. Aug 23 11:29:03 damn :( Aug 23 11:35:53 zedz, set extras for the intent Aug 23 11:36:04 Zharf: how? Aug 23 11:36:27 Zharf: intentfilter doesnt have putextra method Aug 23 11:36:38 I said intent, not intentfilter Aug 23 11:36:41 Zharf: no? :( Aug 23 11:37:28 gdrc, I don't know, if you think it's a nice way then sure I guess... Aug 23 11:40:59 Zharf: http://pastebin.com/7Uwt4avg Aug 23 11:43:25 gdrc, HiddenView does nothing though? why not just use View? Aug 23 11:45:02 Zharf: right, does not do nothing. It's just a way to understand what views need to be used as container to make the holes Aug 23 11:45:17 ok Aug 23 11:45:40 I think it's very nice and clean way, plus I also have the preview Aug 23 11:46:11 I didn't know that the Preview execute the real code, nice one Aug 23 11:46:45 that's why there's isInEditMode() that you can call to check if it's in the editor or not Aug 23 11:46:52 because not all code is compatible with it Aug 23 11:48:10 Zharf: hey man, do you know how to launch your app from a locked device like Skype, Hangouts and Alarm clocks? Aug 23 11:48:13 has anyone used travis ci with API 24? I'm getting license errors for [Android SDK Platform 24, Android SDK Build-Tools 24.0.1] Aug 23 11:48:44 Zharf: I managed to display notifications but not unlock and launch a full screen video sound thing like Skype or Alarm clocks Aug 23 11:51:48 huptoka, never tried anything like that but maybe WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED Aug 23 11:56:07 Zharf: I actually found that it work only with the first child view o_o Aug 23 12:00:56 huptoka, you can't unlock the lockscreen if user has a secure lock in use though (pattern, pin, etc) Aug 23 12:01:21 huptoka, only if it's a simple lock can activities unlock it, you should be able to display an activity on top of it with that flag though Aug 23 12:11:43 How do I use promises with Volley? - I tried http://stackoverflow.com/a/18541806 - but looks like JsonObjectRequest doesn't accept futures anymore :( Aug 23 12:13:14 AlecTaylor, it takes a Listener and an ErrorListener - RequestFuture implements both of those Aug 23 12:13:30 AlecTaylor, show code and error Aug 23 12:14:19 Zharf: So wait, `JsonObjectRequest` takes those as params or `RequestFuture` does? Aug 23 12:14:28 jsonobjectrequest Aug 23 12:15:00 Error:(69, 33) error: no suitable constructor found for JsonObjectRequest(String,JSONObject,Listener,ErrorListener,RequestFuture,RequestFuture) Aug 23 12:15:00 constructor JsonObjectRequest.JsonObjectRequest(int,String,JSONObject,Listener,ErrorListener) is not applicable Aug 23 12:15:00 (actual and formal argument lists differ in length) Aug 23 12:15:00 constructor JsonObjectRequest.JsonObjectRequest(String,JSONObject,Listener,ErrorListener) is not applicable Aug 23 12:15:01 (actual and formal argument lists differ in length) Aug 23 12:15:06 pastebin next time please Aug 23 12:15:41 your code is wrong, you're passing too many parameters Aug 23 12:15:51 Yeah that's the point Aug 23 12:16:06 How many future objects do I pass? - Going to the definition it looks like it supports none Aug 23 12:16:08 you're passing a String, JSONObject, Listener, ErrorListener and two RequestFuture's Aug 23 12:16:29 It only supports `JsonObjectRequest(String url, JSONObject jsonRequest, Listener listener, ErrorListener errorListener)` Aug 23 12:16:40 I.e.: no futures Aug 23 12:16:40 let's say your variables are s, j, l, e, r1 and r1 Aug 23 12:16:51 er, r1 and r2 Aug 23 12:16:54 pass s, j, r1, r2 Aug 23 12:16:59 dump l and e Aug 23 12:17:08 RequestFuture implements Listener and ErrorListener Aug 23 12:17:13 Ohhhh Aug 23 12:27:45 Is there any way to start new projects with Gradle version of my choice (in IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio)? (I know for Settings - Build - Build Tools - Gradle, but that is for after the project is started.) Thanks. Aug 23 12:28:40 Colt, iirc it asks you if you want to use wrapper or some other setting when creating a project, does it not? Aug 23 12:29:55 Colt: when starting a new project, you can choose Gradle in the left pane.
