**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 26 02:59:59 2016 Aug 26 03:03:08 <_genuser_> arancio: thanks. :) I keep googling hence the slow response. yeah, I'll look into it more. Aug 26 03:27:54 Hey I noticed that after compressing and restore a rom it used lesser system space. is that bad? as in if you turn on compression in windows for drives it will reduce performance, does that apply to this situation? Aug 26 03:30:39 applegal: is this related to Android development? Aug 26 03:31:18 yea.. I decided to learn the basic before I get into advance Aug 26 03:32:21 How do you compress a ROM, being it read-only? Aug 26 03:33:01 How is it related to development and not to general usage? Aug 26 03:34:01 Okay I'm just trying my luck.. Sorry Aug 26 03:34:44 i heard asking rom questions in android-dev is 10 years bad luck Aug 26 03:35:14 only way to right things is buy everyone here a nexus :) Aug 26 03:37:24 i already have one, i wouldn't mind that new huawei thing though... Aug 26 03:44:11 applegal is not someone who is capable of understanding the concept of on-topic Aug 26 03:47:33 * g00s senses Leeds has had prior encounter Aug 26 03:47:44 indeed Aug 26 03:55:44 yeah, looked like a drunkard I encountered yesterday night Aug 26 03:58:58 How do you check what certain apps rank is in google play store ? Aug 26 03:59:09 like if it is top 500 top 1000 etc Aug 26 04:00:59 NateRiver: you mean "how do you write an app that checks the rank of another app in the google play store"? Is that the question you wanted to ask? Aug 26 04:01:09 no n Aug 26 04:01:24 just check what an app like neko atsumes rank is Aug 26 04:01:38 Then you may have a channel mismatch problem Aug 26 04:01:47 I know theres a top 100 but to see the list beyond 100 Aug 26 04:02:41 i thought knowing the rank of apps could be useful to android devs Aug 26 04:04:03 NateRiver: are you interested in compressing ROMs too? Aug 26 04:06:56 NateRiver: try #android-drunkards it's a more appropriate channel Aug 26 04:09:21 NateRiver, go to appannie.com Aug 26 04:45:44 hi Aug 26 04:46:12 How do I get the status-code and JSON body from an error response (future) Volley? - http://stackoverflow.com/q/39124922 Aug 26 05:30:30 howdy, I have no idea how to get these 2 android projects I downloaded to compile... one has some gradle files included, which gets me as far as debugging/making an APK... but then it can't find a .so file (which I can see in the project folder)..... the other project doesn't have the gradle files and android-studio just opens it but doesn't have any run/debug options available Aug 26 05:31:31 this is one: https://github.com/lnanek/AutoChatSticker this is the other (though you need to log in to access... I can put them elsewhere if anyone wants to see them) https://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/opensense-sdk/htc-dual-lens-api Aug 26 05:37:02 here it is https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0Tsdtdxo56DNnRZOVZEY1Y1aGc&usp=sharing Aug 26 05:39:03 How can you import a project that only contains java code to Android Studio? It is not an Android project and does not have a manifest. Aug 26 05:39:59 barq: what do you mean? Aug 26 05:40:03 it has sample projects Aug 26 05:40:22 I have an Eclipse project that contains some java files that are a dependency for an android project. I want to import that into AS. Aug 26 05:40:49 oh, I thought you were responding to my question, sorry! Aug 26 05:46:22 I exported from Eclipse and imported, that worked. Aug 26 05:46:29 But now I get unmappable character for encoding UTF8 Aug 26 05:47:18 even though the character is displayed correctly after setting the encoding of my workspace Aug 26 05:53:59 I read that you should add compileOptions.encoding = to the build.gradle. But my java project doesn't have android {} it only has sourceSets Aug 26 06:04:02 ugh, I can never get past this frustration stage with android development :/ Aug 26 06:04:11 (before I give up) Aug 26 06:12:55 Im getting this error in while trying to login with FB. "Login Error: There is an error in logging you into this application. Please try again later." Its coming only in release.apk, when its been downloaded from the Play Store but not when its running direct from the studio Aug 26 06:15:01 How can I add a maven repository to my build? This is my top level gradle file https://ghostbin.com/paste/8mqt5 Aug 26 06:47:57 nmz787_: I tried two different Superuser apps and couldn't get either of them to build. Aug 26 06:48:03 I gave up and wrote my own su that doesn't need one. :-) Aug 26 06:54:13 jjuran_: not sure what you're talking about Aug 26 06:54:37 android development is such a pain... is IOS development this hard? Aug 26 06:54:56 no pain no gain Aug 26 06:55:07 nmz787_: I was comiserating, but found a silverlining. Aug 26 06:55:12 I've spent two nights now (and probably a good 10 over the past 4-5 years) and basically never accomplished anything useful Aug 26 06:55:43 I did manage to learn Android development in Java somewhat. Never tried iOS. Aug 26 06:56:01 java and coding isn't my problem, it's these damn build systems Aug 26 06:56:19 I use Ant for building Java. Aug 26 06:56:46 i have the code, it is from HTC... it works (I compiled it once years ago before android studio)... it just doesn't apparently work in android studio and for some GENIUS (sarcasm) reason they don't support older-style projects I guess Aug 26 06:57:42 jjuran_: I am a Python coder mainly, or use gcc on a single file for C projects... or use stable/mostly-painless build systems like Arduino Aug 26 06:57:56 I've never used Android Studio. I used Eclipse for a few minutes, and ran screaming back to my text editor and command shell. Aug 26 06:58:14 hmm Aug 26 06:58:17 nmz787_ if yer a python coder, look into kivy Aug 26 06:58:51 its a lot more raw, but fine for android dev without the fancy AS stuff Aug 26 06:58:54 If you're comfortable with the command line, you might try Ant. Aug 26 06:58:55 raoul11: it surprises me, since Android Studio is made by the same people that make the Python IDE I like using (aside from plaintext editors) (PyCharm) Aug 26 06:59:15 but I guess Android bolted on crap plugins or something :/ Aug 26 06:59:24 yeah I am fine with the command line Aug 26 06:59:38 link for howto/hello-world from cmd-line? Aug 26 06:59:39 It's way noisier than I'd like, but it does an adequate job. Aug 26 06:59:58 Hold on, let me find one. Aug 26 07:00:08 or better yet, cmd-line for building other peoples project code (i.e. random github repos) Aug 26 07:00:15 jjuran_: thx Aug 26 07:00:32 https://github.com/jjuran/Chronometer Aug 26 07:00:41 https://github.com/jjuran/noisegate-android Aug 26 07:02:40 jjuran_: then I run ant on some file in either repo? Aug 26 07:03:00 You need to cd into the `android` dir. Aug 26 07:03:04 (which I apparently already have installed) Aug 26 07:03:20 Then run `ant debug`. Aug 26 07:04:05 That makes a debug build which you can install and run without a developer key, if you want. Aug 26 07:04:26 https://paste.pound-python.org/show/8JuO6q9S9m50v79r0jFs/ Aug 26 07:04:35 These come with a money-back guarantee, so let me know if you have any problems. :-) Aug 26 07:05:06 hehe Aug 26 07:05:16 complaining about build.xml not being found in the SDK Aug 26 07:07:13 hmm, solutions online talk about a local.properties file which isn't in the repo Aug 26 07:07:17 (for Chronometer) Aug 26 07:08:05 Yup, I think you need to create local.properties to define sdk.dir, or define ANDROID_HOME in your environment. Aug 26 07:09:39 "sdk.dir=/home/user/foo/android-sdk", without the quotes Aug 26 07:09:41 ah, yeah, apparently it is using the NVPACK from probably 3 years ago, which had permissions issues now for some reason Aug 26 07:09:59 chown -R did the trick Aug 26 07:10:30 It built? Aug 26 07:10:48 yeah Aug 26 07:10:55 sweet Aug 26 07:11:16 but now looking at my project of interest, I see it has a much different structure Aug 26 07:11:19 yeah thanks Aug 26 07:11:19 ! Aug 26 07:11:29 I invite you to review the code to make sure it doesn't do anything nefarious, and then install and play with them. :-) Aug 26 07:11:34 haha Aug 26 07:11:40 yeah, srsly Aug 26 07:12:13 does anyone have a link to a decent tutorial for RecyclerView with data from (static) SQLiteDatabase? Aug 26 07:12:42 I moved the Java source to a top-level src directory and left a symlink, because it was annoying otherwise. Aug 26 07:13:56 hmm, copying your build.xml allowed this other app to build Aug 26 07:14:04 I am suspicious of libs not being linked or something tho Aug 26 07:14:34 Those two apps don't link with anything external. Aug 26 07:16:31 hrmm, same broken behaviour Aug 26 07:17:01 jjuran_: I was getting this error message from Android Studio: https://github.com/lnanek/AutoChatSticker/issues/1 Aug 26 07:17:13 said the .so file didn't link Aug 26 07:17:37 UnsatisfiedLinkError Aug 26 07:19:28 I'm so disorganized I don't even know where I unzipped android studio to now Aug 26 07:19:53 oh, case-sensitivity Aug 26 07:20:14 Take a look at the HelloJNI sample. Aug 26 07:20:56 I've done Java apps and C/C++ binaries, but I haven't crossed the streams yet. Aug 26 07:22:59 I am pretty sure I actually got some openCV C++ stuff compiled years ago... before hitting some wall and losing the time to work on android stuff Aug 26 07:23:03 can somebody help, im looking for an app that allows me to use my android phone as mouse/keyboard, with a android tv box, im looking for a free solution, i remember i had something a few years ago, but i dont recall the name, i checked like 2 days, and the google store is a mess, any ideas, suggestions pretty please Aug 26 07:23:07 I mean openCV on android Aug 26 07:30:19 hmm, something about copying the .so files to a new dir in the project-root called 'jniLibs' Aug 26 07:35:27 "This will not be fixed. We are focusing on finishing the Gradle-based build system which will replace Ant. Aug 26 07:35:30 " Aug 26 07:35:32 :( Aug 26 07:38:00 nmz787_ surrender to gradle Aug 26 07:41:42 raoul11: I did the jniLibs thing, but now getting some other .so error which seems like it should be included on my phone by default Aug 26 07:51:39 why do you think android development is a pain? :o Aug 26 07:59:46 no pain no gain Zharf Aug 26 08:00:18 no wonder I never gain anything Aug 26 08:00:36 you will son. Aug 26 08:00:44 o.O Aug 26 08:01:30 tommorow is a new day.. Aug 26 08:02:02 that's a fact that'll never change Aug 26 08:03:26 im just passin catchphrases to avoid writing this series of fragments Aug 26 08:04:25 Having one of those off days, goddamn it Aug 26 08:04:44 off days? Aug 26 08:05:04 Zharf: where I program like a snail on heroine Aug 26 08:06:02 that is slow Aug 26 08:07:45 This is the reward that I get for managing to sleep 9 hours Aug 26 08:09:27 would it have been better if you had slept for four hours? Aug 26 08:11:36 Zharf: probably. I actually feel more refreshed when I wake up in the middle of the night than when I wake up in the morning. Aug 26 08:11:55 I must have vampire blood or something Aug 26 08:12:05 I'm a night owl for sure Aug 26 08:19:31 i wake up at nights for lucid dreaming :v Aug 26 08:21:53 Ashiren: I just had a short one last night. Was in this house with empty rooms. I kept opening them and then I started to realize that I'm dreaming. Don't know why, but I start to panic and scream. I wake up, but not to reality, but to another dream. X_X Aug 26 08:22:17 Think lucid dreams are signs of stress Aug 26 08:23:26 Apparently, people are much more prone to getting whacko dreams when they have fevers and stuff Aug 26 08:28:08 Sleep-related illnesses are common in my family. My brother almost beat me up because I wouldn't let him piss in the bed that I was staying in while he was sleepwalking. Aug 26 08:31:07 VerbalKint: aww, it was just false awakening, so continuation of dream. lucid dreaming is awesome Aug 26 08:32:30 Ashiren: it was both, actually Aug 26 08:33:38 Ashiren: I've done the whole "realize that you're dreaming, tell yourself that you're flying, start flying" thing, but I would rather have dreamless sleep Aug 26 08:35:33 Ashiren: do you have any mental illness by any chance? Aug 26 08:36:27 well im android developer Aug 26 08:36:47 Ashiren: damn. Sounds heavy! Aug 26 08:36:52 other than that, no Aug 26 08:40:30 we're the android developer support group Aug 26 08:40:36 ada Aug 26 08:41:08 :D Aug 26 08:45:24 "It all started when I needed a job. I thought that Android app development was profitable, but I needed to learn Java and XML. It all went downhill after that..." Aug 26 08:45:44 :o Aug 26 08:48:12 "I started having nightmares about being unable to shorten a variable's name that had 24 chars in length. I would wake up screaming "new ObjectName()! new ObjectName()! new ObjectName()!" every odd night" Aug 26 08:51:13 "I resorted to drinking, but even 2l of vodka every night didn't drown the memories of the inefficient JVM garbage collector that was in my head" Aug 26 08:53:37 VerbalKint: A bit silly though, given the fact that the JVM garbage collector is amazingly good. But, that's not the GC that is used on Android. Aug 26 08:55:29 for 2-column layout should I use linearlayout or relativelayout? Aug 26 08:55:54 sounds like job for linearlayout Aug 26 08:56:54 so a horizontal linearlayout with 2 vertical linearlayouts set to width = 50% or something? Aug 26 08:57:18 yes Aug 26 08:58:36 I get failed to resolve com.package:module:version when trying to get an artifact from a local maven nexus. I have maven {url 'http://123.456.789.01:8081//nexus/content/groups/public/'} in my top level gradle, but it can't find the artifact. How can I get this to work? Aug 26 08:59:19 When setting width/height values on LayoutParams it takes pixels. But I import values from a dimen valuesfile which I have written in dp instead of px , so is it better to assign the dimen values in the xml with pixels as that is the format LayoutParams takes Aug 26 09:01:51 Hi! I need to pass a Bitmap from an Activity to a child fragment within the activity. The bitmap is too large for a Bundle. Can anyone recommend an approach? Aug 26 09:16:00 hi, I am always confused when I start with a fresh installed version of as, with what system image I should download? Is there a document somewhere explaining the difference between the different system images and why to chose which one? Aug 26 09:16:37 I've got some data I want to persist between activities - authentication tokens for doing API calls. What's the best way to do that? Docs seem to suggest passing it using intents, but that's kinda annoying if I want to persist something that can't be easily serialized (like a connection pool) Aug 26 09:17:43 statusfailed: If your data is simple, eg. a string access token, just use shared preferences Aug 26 09:19:41 Ikkyo: does your Activity need to have the Bitmap? isnt this only the fragment's responsibility? Aug 26 09:20:46 eventually you can use some static variable to hold the bitmap (brrrrrr) Aug 26 09:21:18 You pass some uri to the fragment, then use your favorite image loading library to get the bitmap Aug 26 09:22:08 Ashiren: I have an activity containing multiple fragments, one for image cropping, one for image editing (changing contrast etc). So I need to pass the bitmap between these fragments, and since I am trying to make my fragments reusable, I expect the activity to provide the bitmap to the fragment. Aug 26 09:22:16 we're trying to decide what devices to buy for our development and testing... are there any tablets that people would recommend? Aug 26 09:22:58 The way I'm doing it now, is putting the bitmaps in a cache, and the loading them in the new fragment. I was wondering if there is a better way to do it Aug 26 09:23:28 make interface, make the activity implement it and be accesible to the fragments Aug 26 09:24:27 That sounds about right. Then the cache can handle retaining on disk, etc, as the user navigates around Aug 26 09:26:22 Ashiren: I was trying to do that at first, but got a bunch of errors... Come to think of it I was probably just calling the listener in the wrong place Aug 26 09:29:02 Do you guys support ldpi devices? I think I've never even seen one in real life. Aug 26 09:30:42 I have one Aug 26 09:30:46 but it's like 5 years old Aug 26 09:30:50 I don't think anyone makes them anymore Aug 26 09:31:33 I don't not support it Aug 26 09:31:44 But I only provide hdpi+ resources Aug 26 09:32:06 Zharf, alright. So is there aome qualifier or something I need to set in order to NOT support it? In case someone with a ldpi device tries to download my app Aug 26 09:33:53 android manifest and Aug 26 09:34:03 dont include ldpi devices then Aug 26 09:34:22 Why would you disable ldpi devices? Aug 26 09:34:51 And once you start going down the compatible-screens, etc, road, you have to actively maintain that Aug 26 09:35:40 SimonVT, My app would basically not work on such small device , it loses it's purpose a lot Aug 26 09:35:49 Ikkyo: Ah OK, thanks - is that OK to use for auth tokens? Is it readable by other processes? Aug 26 09:36:32 statusfailed : By default you applications shared preferences can only be accesed by your application. Unless someone has a rooted phone Aug 26 09:36:51 statusfailed: Or if you specify otherwise Aug 26 09:37:44 Ikkyo: ok, thanks! Aug 26 09:39:47 I doubt there's more than a few apps on Play Store that would even work on ldpi nowdays Aug 26 09:40:09 Mavrik, my thinking too Aug 26 10:05:38 Planning on making money from ads with AdMob. What if some asshole "friend" of mine wants to click my ads repeatedly in order to make it seem like I'm clicking my ads/making him do it? How long can I go without reporting this to google in order to invalidate the clicks and ban his ass? Aug 26 10:09:46 from the crycry in makingmoneywith/fromandroid forums, the amount of closed accounts on admob for ad abuse is huge Aug 26 10:10:08 i think its the same on other ad suppliers Aug 26 10:13:01 raoul11: goddamn fucking damn it Aug 26 10:13:24 I won't advertise this to my "friends" then X_X Aug 26 10:13:41 thing is, anyone can abuse them Aug 26 10:14:21 raoul11: I know, but the average person installing my app will be less likely than a "friend" Aug 26 10:14:24 I suspect the amount of fraud is also huge Aug 26 10:14:39 probably Leeds Aug 26 10:14:56 Anyone have any ideas: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lokhttp3/logging/HttpLoggingInterceptor; Aug 26 10:15:08 Retrofit logging errror Aug 26 10:15:10 though it shouldnt be too hard to detect/block it at the ads api level Aug 26 10:15:10 *error Aug 26 10:15:32 i assume some ads suppliers do that Aug 26 10:19:20 raoul11: I read about how Google will identify the abusers, but I'm not sure just how reliable that will be Aug 26 10:20:37 thinkin of integrating admob on my next app Aug 26 10:20:53 hi everyone Aug 26 10:21:06 always seemed like more of a hassle than a plain ad supplier (drop its jar, call it) Aug 26 10:21:53 im no fraud Aug 26 10:22:03 i do get ' This app is incompatible with your device.' on Google Play Aug 26 10:22:28 raoul11: you're an independent developer? Aug 26 10:22:30 minsdk = 15 and targetsdk = 23 Aug 26 10:22:32 טקד Aug 26 10:22:35 soz, yes Aug 26 10:22:40 so how do i solve this problem / Aug 26 10:22:41 ? Aug 26 10:22:50 can anyone help me with that ? Aug 26 10:22:56 whats the api on your phone tirej ? Aug 26 10:23:36 but im not too satisfied with the ads suppliers im working with (appnext, applovin, adbuddiz) Aug 26 10:24:09 raoul11: out of pure curiosity, can I see what type of apps you've done? (in PM) Aug 26 10:24:12 raoul11, i've tried from different phones which has 23 , 19 etc. Aug 26 10:24:30 sure Aug 26 10:26:38 raoul11, so what can i do ? Aug 26 10:27:48 could it be region restricted? is it your app? Aug 26 10:28:22 raoul11, yeah it's mine. i just allowed for single country Aug 26 10:28:38 and it's my own and the reason it's lang specific app. Aug 26 10:28:44 also region specific. Aug 26 10:28:45 isnt there a message next to the incompatible part saying why its incompatiable? Aug 26 10:30:09 raoul11, no, just that message Aug 26 10:32:16 no idea tirej, maybe your location isnt acknowledged Aug 26 10:32:27 i see Aug 26 10:32:33 let me check. Aug 26 10:36:52 is there a way to access default shared prefs from within a separate fragment? Aug 26 10:37:21 SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = this.getActivity().getSharedPreferences(getContext().getPackageName() + "_preferences", Context.MODE_PRIVATE); results in null pointer exception (used in init of the fragment) Aug 26 10:39:38 are some avd's slower than others depending on which device I launch? Cause on the Nexus S it crashes and perform very slowly, but on other devices it runs much better Aug 26 10:40:12 Isn't Nexus S really old and slow to begin with? Aug 26 10:40:29 yeah I suppose Aug 26 10:40:41 I just took it randomly for a hdpi device Aug 26 10:42:01 Is Nexus One better perhaps? Aug 26 10:42:21 nexus one is still pretty old. we're up to nexus 5/6/6s now Aug 26 10:42:36 hm, not much else to choose from in the hdpi range Aug 26 10:42:52 you can always make your own avd Aug 26 10:43:15 Jesperhead, so a hdpi device with better hardware? Aug 26 10:43:50 *shrug* i would assume. I haven't created one in a few years Aug 26 10:44:13 but, "create new virtual device" and "create new hardware profile" looks like it could be just what you need Aug 26 10:44:23 indeed, thanks Aug 26 10:47:52 too bad the AVD creator isn't up to date (or reveresed) with this https://design.google.com/devices/ Aug 26 10:48:21 the screen parameters on that site for a hdpi gives a mdpi when creating a AVD profile Aug 26 10:57:50 hey Aug 26 10:59:13 android studio is telling me, that in order to render the design view of y screen layout, it needs java 8. because android nougat requires java 8. well… errm. java -version on my system yields java 1.8. in the studio itself, java 1.8 is preconfigured as the jre/sdk what have you. and btw. I dont even understand why it thinks it should render with nougat while I constantly test with an api 16 device Aug 26 10:59:41 so I dont get the design view rendered. Aug 26 11:01:23 tilerendering: I think somewhere around the preview is a dropdown where you can select the API level to use for the render. Aug 26 11:01:40 ^ it's at the top, looks like the android robot Aug 26 11:01:41 iirc, when I reinstalled IntelliJ here, it defaulted the dropdown to the latest version installed. Aug 26 11:02:54 I can only choose version 24 or “Pick another version” with no version options... :/ Aug 26 11:02:59 great isnt it Aug 26 11:03:08 now if I could only teach it that I have java 1.8 installed Aug 26 11:03:14 this thing is a desaster. Aug 26 11:05:20 tilerendering: I think it only displays installed SDKs Aug 26 11:05:51 install api 23 to have it listed Aug 26 11:06:51 pduin - hm maybe that´s the cause. at which level of the studio configuration can I do that ? Aug 26 11:08:15 top toolbar of AS - and look for the android robot icon head on a box with a downward pointing arrow Aug 26 11:09:40 it wont let me install another version Aug 26 11:09:44 just pick from versions Aug 26 11:09:50 do you know where I can manage the installed versions ? Aug 26 11:10:25 moreover do you know where I can actually “effectively” “teach” studio that I have 1.8 installed ? because I already did. Aug 26 11:10:31 and actually it knows its path. Aug 26 11:10:48 That I do not know. Aug 26 11:11:38 thanks a lot anyhow :) Aug 26 11:15:23 So the question is, is it worth protecting Android games against cheating? Or just make sure that personal save data cannot be tangled with. Leaderboards WILL be hacked? Aug 26 11:25:41 Don't quote me on this because I am not in the gaming business nor android business Aug 26 11:25:59 but if the game is single player and won't affect other users. Let them be, if they want to be nº1 with 999999 points Aug 26 11:26:16 Has anyone got a good example of logging with Retrofit 2.0? I'm trying to log the headers and it's not showing a header which I pass through as a parameter and I have no idea if I've set up my HttpLoggingInterceptor wrong or not Aug 26 11:26:28 if there is an online leaderboard, I am not sure you can't prevent hacking on the phone, that is outside your control, but your server will need to validate the results anyway Aug 26 11:26:47 can anyone update me about google analytics? should I use the one in the google play services? Aug 26 11:31:19 Is there any way to automatically update the SDK manager installed packages Aug 26 11:31:22 with like single command? Aug 26 11:33:21 gdrc: I thought it was called Firebase Analytics now Aug 26 11:33:32 whaaat Aug 26 11:39:10 Should I use compile 'com.google.android.analytics:analytics:3' or compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.4.0' Aug 26 11:39:19 google is so confusing omg Aug 26 11:53:04 I have a module in AS that is an apklib. How can I include that as a dependency for other modules? Aug 26 11:53:22 I tried adding the module as a compile dependeny but get com.example.library does not exist Aug 26 12:09:11 The underlying problem is that Module depends on one or more Android Libraries but is a jar Aug 26 12:14:17 hi again everyone Aug 26 12:15:01 raoul11, i still get same issue: This app is incompatible with your device says GP Aug 26 12:29:25 what do I need to do to have api 16 sdk tools available on android studio ? it only lets me choose api 24. also, even when I select to create a new api 16 project, in the project settings then, it is marked api 24... Aug 26 12:29:30 like - wt .. Aug 26 12:30:38 So, I just tried to build JavaDoc for our app, and it threw LOADS of errors, mostly saying that "app android.X does not exist". How can I avoid these errors generating JavaDoc? Aug 26 12:32:03 i can only choose one target sdk Aug 26 12:34:16 I presume you have installed API16 stuff in SDK manager? Aug 26 12:34:50 App migrated to new AS, Gradle setup, in house build system modified to build via gradle, the only issue I have now, is when I push the update to a test phone, It reports that the new .apk is the same name, but has a different signature. The thing is, I'm using the same key, what can cause this? Aug 26 12:35:55 azv4: have you installed the app from play store? Maybe that, or if it was installed from previous IDE Aug 26 12:36:08 sdousley, we don't use the play store Aug 26 12:36:53 the .apk was built in Eclipse originally, then migrated to AS 1.5, same signing key both IDE, didn't have this issue, then moved to 2.1.2 Aug 26 12:37:03 same key through all three 'generations' Aug 26 12:41:28 raoul11, i still get same issue: This app is incompatible with your device says GP ( due dc ) Aug 26 12:49:26 no idea tirej /: Aug 26 12:53:17 azv4: I'm not sure in that case I'm afraid Aug 26 12:57:23 raoul11, thanks anyway! Aug 26 12:57:31 anyone else ?

Aug 26 13:27:51 i use gradle 3.0 for my android dev in command line, gradle says the following "Could not determine java version from '9-ea'. Aug 26 13:28:03 has anyone gone through this ? Aug 26 13:28:58 I have an android library that has resources, i.e com.library.R, but when I include the lib as a dependency in another android studio module it says com.library.R not found. How can I get this to work? In Eclipse it works fine as an apklib dependency. Aug 26 13:30:52 VerbalKint: take a noun that is related to your app purpose, add the -ly suffix to make a non-existent adverb and remove a random vowel. Aug 26 13:31:06 arancio: LOL Aug 26 13:31:22 arancio: got a Romanian version for that? :D Aug 26 13:32:48 VerbalKint: hv u gone through this issue ? "Could not determine java version from '9-ea'" Aug 26 13:34:45 pitiye: um, have no idea, but is it because you're trying to install an armv7a build on an x86 CPU or something? Aug 26 13:34:55 i have a drawer ith listview, how i can set the background when item is selected? Aug 26 13:37:03 VerbalKint: the only romanian thing that I know about is Nadia Comaneci, unfortunately. Sorry. Aug 26 13:37:23 arancio: at least you didn't say O-Zone :P Aug 26 13:38:12 VerbalKint: this error is reported by gradle - i dloaded gradle from official site, installed (added it's bin to my PATH) and created an android project using command line- thats it Aug 26 13:45:38 I'm getting Android Nougat requires the IDE to be running with Java 1.8 or later Aug 26 13:45:46 How do I run AS with java 1.8? Aug 26 13:45:48 i have a drawer ith listview, how i can set the background when item is selected? Aug 26 13:49:28 anyone with a clue to this ? in android studio I cant choose between different sdk versions (15 rather than 24) - what do I have to do to make them available ? Aug 26 13:51:44 Is there a good static analysis tool to help catch potential out of bounds errors in my code? Aug 26 13:54:36 tilerendering: just set the targetSdk in gradle Aug 26 13:54:38 guys i create Android Project using android create project --activity MainActivity --package org.home --target android-24 --path ~/Public/Learn-Android/1-HelloWorld/ -g -v 3.0 , But it still downloads gradle 1.12 , how do i set a newer gradle version ? Aug 26 13:56:10 gdrc: it wont have any effect Aug 26 13:56:16 gradle wrapper properties has the following "distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip" Aug 26 13:56:18 because I think I need to install the sdk Aug 26 13:56:24 with the appropriate version.

Aug 26 13:57:20 normally I d expect some doc about that, but strangely enough there s nothing about it Aug 26 13:57:45 gdrc: every time i create a new project gradle will use 1.12, and not 2.14 right , i want to modify that Aug 26 13:57:45 tilerendering: do what I told you and AS will suggest you to download the selected one Aug 26 13:58:14 pitiye: how do you create a new project?

Aug 26 14:12:04 raoul11, yes but how do I know which of those devices fall into which category? Aug 26 14:12:57 if you click on the device name under preview, it will tell you which res/hdpi params it has Aug 26 14:13:04 is developing for api 16 a safe bet currently, for a formbased app communicating with a rest backend ? Aug 26 14:13:18 Would artistic paintings of women who just happen to be bare-chested count as "Apps that include sexual or suggestive references" in Google's interpretation of nudity? Aug 26 14:14:00 tilerendering: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html Aug 26 14:14:01 play it safe (: Aug 26 14:14:15 I would say so Aug 26 14:14:18 i have a drawer ith listview, how i can set the background when item is selected?

Google is fucked up. Aug 26 14:16:22 *reference to drugs Aug 26 14:16:27 yeah 16+ Aug 26 14:16:32 barq grazie Aug 26 14:17:34 unless u really have to, try to make it available for everyone VerbalKint Aug 26 14:18:21 I think 16+ is a good choice. Aug 26 14:18:42 barq: but I see only everyone, low, medium and high ratings Aug 26 14:19:05 i have added jcenter() instead of maven onto the repositories , but i still get the following error when building. Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0. Aug 26 14:19:12 any clue ? Aug 26 14:19:15 VerbalKint: I have no idea what you are talking about. Aug 26 14:19:41 barq: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/188189 Aug 26 14:19:57 What about that link?

Aug 26 14:21:10 barq: nevermind Aug 26 14:21:19 :D Aug 26 14:22:39 raoul11: though, the nudity is very rare and barely noticeable most of the time Aug 26 14:23:06 raoul11: and there isn't an actual Google employee checking this stuff out, right? Users have to report it? Aug 26 14:23:17 yep Aug 26 14:23:32 pitiye: You can search for your dependencies on https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter and see what versions are available Aug 26 14:23:40 Meh, then I'm fine Aug 26 14:23:40 though i do blv they do checks for assets when u upload an apk Aug 26 14:23:42 raoul11, yes but not which of the xlarge, large etc categoriez, which is what I'm after Aug 26 14:23:59 VerbalKint: you could offer offended persons an in-app purchase of dresses, so they can cover the areas of nudity they are offended by. for a small price of course. Aug 26 14:24:00 raoul11: what do you mean? Aug 26 14:24:04
