**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 12 02:59:58 2016 Sep 12 03:03:49 do we have a way to install multiple apk's with the same package name onto a device? Sep 12 03:04:15 I would like multiple versions of this app so I can compare/switch between them Sep 12 03:05:28 RustyShackleford use flavors to create unique packages Sep 12 03:09:24 its two different codebases Sep 12 03:09:43 I suppose I could rename the package in android studio and create a build for myself Sep 12 03:19:28 hello :) Sep 12 03:26:01 it's too quiet Sep 12 03:34:00 eh Sep 12 03:34:02 might be a good thing Sep 12 03:35:35 I like some banter Sep 12 03:35:48 how about that local sports team ... Sep 12 03:36:00 hello guys Sep 12 03:36:16 im getting an error while compiling my first app Sep 12 03:36:43 it says SLAVE_AAPT_TIMEOUT reached; put it greater thn 5 secs Sep 12 03:36:47 Seahawks won today Sep 12 03:37:15 i hav created an environment variable to put the timeout as greater thn 5 (60 exactly) Sep 12 03:37:18 pls help Sep 12 03:37:24 *takes a stab* basketball? Sep 12 03:38:41 lol football Sep 12 03:38:55 American football if that's an issue Sep 12 03:39:03 that was my next q hahah Sep 12 03:41:47 MaBunny: some light googling points at many diferent causes, depending on your OS and env Sep 12 03:42:09 pls is there any way to set it up from android studio? Sep 12 03:42:35 pls Sep 12 03:42:41 which OS? Sep 12 03:43:00 debian Sep 12 03:43:23 have a look at this, then -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30111443/android-studio-fails-to-build-new-project-timed-out-while-wating-for-slave-aapt Sep 12 03:43:31 i had googled it b4 thts where i saw to set the env variable Sep 12 03:43:37 ok Sep 12 03:43:43 thnx :) Sep 12 03:44:41 maybe AS 2.2 will go stable this week Sep 12 03:45:04 - SLAVE_AAPT_TIMEOUT = 30 Sep 12 03:45:14 thts what i set in my env variable Sep 12 03:45:24 also i saw exactly this page Sep 12 03:45:39 did you install those libs Sep 12 03:46:02 yes i hav them installed Sep 12 03:46:35 apt-get install libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386 Sep 12 03:46:48 libstdc++6 is already the newest version. Sep 12 03:46:57 libncurses5 is already the newest version. Sep 12 03:47:06 zlib1g is already the newest version. Sep 12 03:47:14 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Sep 12 03:48:03 humm, might wanna have a look at the IDE logs then -- https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241085-Locating-IDE-log-files Sep 12 03:48:49 ok Sep 12 03:50:18 g00s: I wish Sep 12 03:50:51 bankai_, isnt there a way to set SLAVE_AAPT_TIMEOUT manually from AS? Sep 12 03:52:26 huh, what's this slave aapt thing Sep 12 03:56:23 what's the coolness about as 2.2? Sep 12 03:56:28 export SLAVE_AAPT_TIMEOUT=60 Sep 12 03:56:40 espresso test recorder ;) Sep 12 03:56:44 this line is in my .bash_profile Sep 12 03:57:06 bankai_, can you tell if its correct? Sep 12 03:59:18 is there something wrong with me if i don't favor composition over inheritance Sep 12 03:59:51 i'd much rather looks at a class definition and what it implements right there, rather than traverse down the rabbit whole of inherited functionality Sep 12 04:00:55 also it could help if i could run gradle from the cmd line but idk where its located Sep 12 04:01:02 my spelling and grammar is etrocious at the moment Sep 12 04:01:28 MaBunny, gradlew is provided with all projects generated by android studio Sep 12 04:01:33 atrocious :) Sep 12 04:01:49 but where is it located? Sep 12 04:01:54 etrocious :D Sep 12 04:02:16 MaBunny, in your project... Sep 12 04:02:21 the electronic version of being disgusted Sep 12 04:04:25 I just wish you could have method bodies and variables in interfacea Sep 12 04:04:27 s Sep 12 04:05:09 parco: Overall I agree that "prefer composition over inheritance" is very oversold. Still, piecing together where the code together is pretty easy with composition, maybe with just one added indirection Sep 12 04:05:24 where the code goes* I mean Sep 12 04:08:05 cant anybody help me? Sep 12 04:23:51 How do I set execution timeout for something like a call to a method? Sep 12 04:24:26 or what do I need to google to find the answer? Sep 12 04:24:52 for a unit test? Sep 12 04:25:26 Say I want to call a method that does a long running operation. I need to know when it completes Sep 12 04:26:06 but the method currently returns instantly. Sep 12 04:26:32 maybe I can through it into a thread with a check for the work being done then call the second step after it completes. Sep 12 04:26:50 s/through/throw/ Sep 12 04:26:50 have a look at RX Sep 12 04:27:18 bankai_: It's on my list of things to learn, I'll take a look at it again Sep 12 04:28:22 I'm making a mess of the app, just trying to get a proof of concept working. Unfortunately my android/java skills are attrocious. Sep 12 04:41:26 bankai_, help me man Sep 12 04:42:24 did you run your project from cli? Sep 12 04:42:51 no man Sep 12 04:43:03 i dont kno how to run the gradle script Sep 12 04:43:27 pfn told you where it was Sep 12 04:43:45 yes i found it Sep 12 04:43:51 it's just a shell script Sep 12 04:44:38 so how do i run it? Sep 12 04:44:52 sh ./gradle Sep 12 04:44:59 ./gradle: 158: ./gradle: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Sep 12 04:45:19 it's gradlew Sep 12 04:45:25 gradle is the directory Sep 12 04:46:16 gradlew: 154: gradlew: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Sep 12 04:46:56 your shell is busted Sep 12 04:47:02 no Sep 12 04:47:17 sh gradlew Sep 12 04:47:25 gradlew: 154: gradlew: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Sep 12 04:47:45 im doing it inside the project directory Sep 12 05:13:47 "A 6-year-old Brooklyn boy suffered burns when one of Samsung’s recalled Galaxy Note 7 smartphones exploded in his hands — and his grandmother says he’s too scared to go near any other devices." Sep 12 05:14:11 mandatory recall in 3 .. 2 .. 1 .. Sep 12 05:15:18 oh damn! Sep 12 05:15:41 " he was rushed to Downstate Medical Center with burns to his body." Sep 12 05:20:54 Leeds hear anything about the pixel phone(s) pricing? reading here ... uses qualcomm 821 for VR features, which costs a lot compared to the 820 Sep 12 05:23:32 very little credible, but I'm definitely thinking higher rather than lower Sep 12 05:23:56 * g00s atill hoping for that huawei 7" tablet thingy Sep 12 05:24:18 if the tablet is real, that's more likely to be on the cheaper end, I think Sep 12 05:24:38 yeah hopefully, if i replace my n7 Sep 12 05:25:27 if the rpi3 gets good enough support, i'll just use one of those for development :D Sep 12 05:25:37 Android Oreo j/k Sep 12 05:25:38 I just bought a pair of bose noise-canceling bluetooth headphones, embracing the new wire-free world - on the basis that I don't think I'll be buying any more tech until next year Sep 12 05:25:48 alphamule: hiroshi has already been trolling that :) Sep 12 05:26:12 So is it marshmellow-looking on the inside? Sep 12 05:27:14 Sounds like it needs to go into Orbit Sep 12 05:28:02 Leeds what frequencies do these use to communicate ? Sep 12 05:28:17 i hear, people with BT keyboards + mice having problems in crowded offices ... Sep 12 05:28:25 i'll just take wires, thanks Sep 12 05:28:35 I have a BT mouse, seems to work ok :) Sep 12 05:28:49 is it over the 2.4 / 5ghz ism band? Sep 12 05:29:04 one of the reasons I bought this model is that they can work wired, and can even work as non noise-canceling wired if the battery goes Sep 12 05:29:08 Hmm, Oatmeal Cookies Sep 12 05:29:19 BT is 2.4, isn't it? Sep 12 05:29:29 http://candy.about.com/od/candybasics/a/candy_recipes_n.htm Sep 12 05:30:01 Pecan Pie Sep 12 05:30:19 (runs on Raspberry Pi4 of course) Sep 12 05:30:26 :P Sep 12 05:30:28 Future names Sep 12 05:30:30 meh Sep 12 05:37:07 I think I'm going to take my Pi3 to my parents' house next month and set it up as a VPN endpoint, backup/filestore, etc. Sep 12 05:39:09 are there any csv libraries for android that don't live on sourceforge? Sep 12 05:45:52 Leeds: bt is 2.4 but does frequency hopping Sep 12 05:46:06 so it shouldn't be affected by wifi who also operates on 2.4 Sep 12 05:46:13 Bam_Bam: something wrong with sourceforge? Sep 12 05:46:21 Marlinski: how about microwave ovens? Sep 12 05:46:31 those are shielded Sep 12 05:46:38 that would be a health hazard otherwise Sep 12 05:47:20 I think there's probably quite a gap between the amount of leakage which might interfere with comms, and the amount you'd need for a health hazard Sep 12 05:47:53 Leeds: I got sick of downloading software with toolbars or wrapped with the sourceforge installer Sep 12 05:48:05 I have yet to witness my oven interefering with my wifi comm Sep 12 05:48:05 Leeds: they also starting taking over "abandoned" projects Sep 12 05:48:13 Leeds: http://www.howtogeek.com/218764/warning-don%E2%80%99t-download-software-from-sourceforge-if-you-can-help-it/ Sep 12 05:48:30 Bam_Bam: firstly they've 'promised' that they have stopped that since it was sold... secondly, not sure how that would be an issue for a library anyway Sep 12 05:54:57 Marlinski: maybe I'm out of date :) I remember many years ago being quite confused by the feature "microwave oven protection" listed on an update for a wifi driver... Sep 12 05:55:16 Leeds: huu, this was probably just marketing :) Sep 12 05:55:32 Leeds: actually starting from 802.11n wifi started operated also on 5ghz Sep 12 05:55:46 Leeds: for a marketer it might be understood as microwave protection :) Sep 12 06:00:11 this was long long before n Sep 12 06:00:51 Leeds https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/2xipte/can_a_microwave_oven_interfere_with_my_wifi/ Sep 12 06:00:57 then I see no reason how a driver can prevent interference from a microwave, maybe it just is a better datarate selection in the driver Sep 12 06:01:14 lower datarate are more resistant to interference so it might just be it Sep 12 06:01:43 also from there http://imgur.com/23hN3 Sep 12 06:02:18 my buddy had a cordless phone that would drop a call everytime someone used the microwave Sep 12 06:02:55 bed time! Sep 12 06:03:00 night fellas Sep 12 06:03:52 actually this is cool too http://io9.gizmodo.com/why-does-your-microwave-oven-mess-with-the-wi-fi-connec-1666117933 Sep 12 06:06:02 g00s: lol Sep 12 06:06:49 Hi. If I have an external library containing several .aar and .jar files, what would be the cleanest way to add dependencies? Sep 12 06:07:12 I can figure out how to add .jar files all in the same folder but when I add the .aar files too, things get messy and hard to track Sep 12 06:07:28 is this library available online ? Sep 12 06:07:35 Yeah Sep 12 06:07:39 I mean is it in a public repository Sep 12 06:07:45 then I would suggest using gradle Sep 12 06:07:48 It's an sdk rather, Google Tango sdk Sep 12 06:08:05 Not in a public repository, I thought you meant available online for you to see Sep 12 06:08:13 but the code isn't available in a repository afai Sep 12 06:08:18 afaik* Sep 12 06:08:37 I've downloaded the files from https://developers.google.com/tango/downloads Sep 12 06:08:39 then something like compile files('libs/MyJar.jar') in your gradle should do it Sep 12 06:08:55 Okay, and same procedure for the .aar also? Sep 12 06:09:06 I've never personally worked with .aar Sep 12 06:09:23 neither did I :) Sep 12 06:09:27 Ah okay Sep 12 06:09:38 I'll see what happens when I do the same for .aar, thanks for the help :) Sep 12 06:26:37 Marlinski: is there any benefit to adding it in the libs folder vs importing it as a module? Sep 12 07:06:27 <_raw_> How to develop a app which connects to IRC? Sep 12 07:09:48 _raw_: out of curiosity, for what purpose? Sep 12 07:10:23 <_raw_> I am thinking about to create a IRC chat server Sep 12 07:10:36 <_raw_> and It would be nice to have android app. Sep 12 07:10:45 <_raw_> I have no idea on Coding. Sep 12 07:11:22 ding ding ding Sep 12 07:11:25 _raw_: well, you could check the source code of this IRC client https://github.com/sandsmark/QuasselDroid Sep 12 07:12:56 _raw_: if you have no idea about coding, you're a long long way from writing an IRC app Sep 12 07:13:36 <_raw_> Leeds: thats why I need help Sep 12 07:13:56 lots of help! Sep 12 07:14:02 first, create the universe Sep 12 07:14:14 <_raw_> I can setup a IRC server which uses mirc. Sep 12 07:14:31 <_raw_> I just want to replace mirc/other irc client Sep 12 07:14:43 <_raw_> and use my own irc. Sep 12 07:14:47 <_raw_> irc client. Sep 12 07:15:19 an IRC server which uses mirc? Sep 12 07:15:34 <_raw_> in playstore there is one app for another server. Sep 12 07:15:46 _raw_: Leeds is right. You have a lot to learn before you can make an IRC client for android. Sep 12 07:16:29 <_raw_> hmm Sep 12 07:16:43 _raw_: Java and then the mindfuck that is the Android API Sep 12 07:17:47 <_raw_> I dont know Programming. :( Sep 12 07:18:00 helloWorld Sep 12 07:18:09 do eet _raw_ Sep 12 07:18:14 VerbalKint_ o/ Sep 12 07:18:23 raoul11: hey Sep 12 07:19:34 <_raw_> so what can i do? Sep 12 07:20:14 learn to code Sep 12 07:23:27 or pay someone to do it for you Sep 12 07:29:34 I have an app A that has a transitive dependency to a library D containing resources. A depends on lib-B depends on lib-C depends on D. I would expect the resources from D to be bundled into A, but get a null when doing findViewById(R.id.resource_from_d) from A. How can I get this to work? Sep 12 07:30:31 The only library that does not have the default project structure is C, but C does not contain any resources itself. And I specified sourceSets { main { java.srcDirs = ['src'] }} in the build.gradle for C Sep 12 07:31:20 I also have proguard and minifyEnabled set to false to avoid any resources from bein erroneously removed. Sep 12 07:34:11 <_raw_> how much does it cost? Sep 12 07:34:26 <_raw_> since I cant learn programming, I have to ask. Sep 12 07:37:53 there are dozens of android irc clients already Sep 12 07:38:05 also what does 'setting irc server for irc' mean Sep 12 07:38:41 <_raw_> yeah all IRC client are for users free use of IRC server Sep 12 07:39:04 <_raw_> I want a IRC client which is designated to use my IRC only. Sep 12 07:39:26 <_raw_> users download IRC client and just click connect. Sep 12 07:39:29 <_raw_> and done. Sep 12 07:39:31 i think you can configure password to your server hm? Sep 12 07:40:05 <_raw_> yeah, I can create IRC server. Sep 12 07:40:18 <_raw_> which allows users to connect. Sep 12 07:41:32 <_genuser_> hey people. anybody implement user logins with auth tokens? Sep 12 07:45:59 _raw_, how much does it cost to have an app done for you? Sep 12 07:46:21 it depends.. a student might do it for 100$ a professional company, add a zero Sep 12 07:46:35 100$ for an app? Sep 12 07:46:38 dude. Sep 12 07:46:49 a simple irc-client for a fixed server, come on.. Sep 12 07:46:51 An IRC client nonetheless Sep 12 07:47:19 you can barely find a bj for a 100$ /: Sep 12 07:47:22 I would expect at least 300$ if I were to do it alone Sep 12 07:47:26 there is open source which already does that, hardcode the server data remove all config - done Sep 12 07:48:02 ktwo: that would be stealing Sep 12 07:48:18 nah, if you use MIT-licenced code Sep 12 07:48:37 ktwo: any MIT IRC clients out there? Sep 12 07:48:38 <_raw_> yeah Sep 12 07:48:46 <_raw_> I have found Open source IRC client Sep 12 07:49:07 <_raw_> but all of those have options to set IRC server of users choice. Sep 12 07:49:44 so youre thinking of preconfigured irc client Sep 12 07:49:56 _raw_: which one? Sep 12 07:50:00 well of course you would have to modify the source if you dont want those settings Sep 12 07:50:45 _raw_: https://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/47032/can-i-use-gpl-software-in-a-commercial-application Sep 12 07:51:25 _raw_: If you do distribute YOUR APPLICATION, and you used something GPL as part of your application (even if only linking at run-time to a library) - and even if you do not charge money - and even if you do not change that GPL s/w in any way - then you MUST make the source of YOUR APPLICATION available Sep 12 07:53:04 <_raw_> hmm Sep 12 07:53:24 _raw_: it is going to be a commercial application, right? Sep 12 07:53:28 well should be no problem right? there's nothing to hide? Sep 12 07:53:51 Though i would consider if IRC is the reasonable platform for what you're doing Sep 12 07:53:58 <_raw_> currently I am planning for non commercial use, Sep 12 07:54:02 if you want to setup a simple chat there are easier ways of doing it Sep 12 07:54:29 _raw_: if you're fine with releasing the source, then you can use GPL code Sep 12 07:54:48 <_raw_> but I am not fine with realeasing the code. Sep 12 07:55:23 <_raw_> ktwo; easier ways? Sep 12 07:55:49 <_raw_> VerbalKint_: what if I use GPL code, and later on add ads? Sep 12 07:56:09 _raw_: think that counts as commercial Sep 12 07:56:24 <_raw_> in that case I cant use that code? Sep 12 07:56:49 _raw_: honestly, I don't really know that much, just that GPL means that you have to distribute the source code Sep 12 07:57:38 _raw_: https://tldrlegal.com/ Sep 12 07:57:42 <_raw_> 100Dollar for full right Sep 12 07:57:44 <_raw_> hmm Sep 12 07:57:45 _raw_: look at the popular ones Sep 12 07:58:48 if you distribute the code you can do whatever you want with it Sep 12 07:59:11 except selling it with the same name and stuff like that Sep 12 08:06:02 _raw_: but the licensing worry can be overblown. Who knows if the devs will nag you to release the source code of your application. Sep 12 08:06:41 um... you should plan to be compliant, not make it a just-in-case thing Sep 12 08:07:16 Leeds: yeah, like the developers of an IRC client would go as far as suing him for making a tiny app. Sep 12 08:07:42 *using their source code Sep 12 08:08:58 sue? no... takedown? absolutely Sep 12 08:09:34 Leeds: oh wait, this counts as copyright infringement to google, right? Sep 12 08:11:31 of course Sep 12 08:16:48 in order to use YoutubeAPI, it requires an API key which seems to require the app certificate, how can I develeop test and debug first ? Sep 12 08:17:14 Marlinski: add the debug certificate in youtube backend Sep 12 08:18:26 xorgate: so I should have a debugkey and a productionkey ? Sep 12 08:18:52 dunno how youtube does it but often you can add a release and a debug SHA Sep 12 08:19:17 ok Sep 12 08:39:37 If my app previously supported API 14, can I change my next version to support 16? Or will that go against Google's rules? Sep 12 08:40:06 you can Sep 12 08:45:31 _raw_: GPL does not say anythign against commercial use Sep 12 08:45:38 you can take GPL code, modify it, and sell it, Sep 12 08:46:03 as long as (a) every user of your app, and (b) the original developers can, on request, get a copy of your modified source code Sep 12 08:46:10 (Excluding API keys, ofc) Sep 12 08:47:14 source: working for years in GPL projects Sep 12 08:47:43 it’s also why I absolutely will not ever under any circumstances use any non-OSS code in my apps Sep 12 08:47:45 GPL Sep 12 08:48:05 which means, in turn, no use of the google firebase or firebase messaging libs, but instead building our own Sep 12 08:59:07 gordon_, I get returned "Make sure there arn't any faults in the form" when trying to upload the apk. You sure I can lower the supported API? Sep 12 09:07:46 Anyone know? Can I change minSdkVersion from a lower one to a higher one on an existing app? Sep 12 09:08:18 It seems google isn't accepting it. But they arn't giving me a straight answer to what's wrong. Sep 12 09:08:19 yes sire Sep 12 09:08:25 just change the manifest Sep 12 09:08:40 just put out an update with the updated manifest Sep 12 09:08:52 pifon, I handle the sdkversion in my gradle file, but suppose it's the same? Sep 12 09:09:11 do it in the manifest Sep 12 09:09:56 pifon, I wish to learn, so can you explain "why" it should be in the manifest instead of the gradle file? Sep 12 09:10:26 i dont know but it works for me so Sep 12 09:11:05 hi Sep 12 09:11:14 pifon, alright I'll give it a try Sep 12 09:12:36 if i import a project without gradle scripts, will android studio generate some for it? Sep 12 09:14:55 I think so blippyJon Sep 12 09:15:26 because it doesn't seems to do that Sep 12 09:18:16 okay then well it doesn't xD Sep 12 09:21:06 I have problem with programatically created buttons... I would like to create some margin between newly created buttons so one can tell there a re 2 buttons and not one. Also I can't seem to apply less padding. This is my code: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/bbab4cc596da2baa899688a114672435 Any ideas how can I apply padding and or margin currently it looks like this: http://i.imgbox.com/ZkJJl6wm.png Does this has someting to do that I use Sep 12 09:21:06 ColorDrawable in reflection to check if button was selected? ColorDrawable buttonColor = (ColorDrawable) btnTag.getBackground() Sep 12 09:23:15 hey Sep 12 09:23:40 Whole code: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/189d56f4f7501bf098eb76cdcedc89b9 Sep 12 09:30:02 FINALLY! Sep 12 09:31:08 hi guys Sep 12 09:33:07 how can make a "black mask" under my bottom sheet? Sep 12 09:33:27 the sheet itself is working, but the content behind it still visible Sep 12 09:34:20 any hint to how can i achive this? Sep 12 09:45:32 adb flaking on Windows again Sep 12 09:45:56 Working as intended. Sep 12 09:48:58 :/ Sep 12 09:51:26 Any ideas on my issue with buttons? :) Sep 12 10:03:03 frojnd, refactor it, you can do that in many ways, one hint would be to save the color of the button as a tag Sep 12 10:08:00 iprime, please aleaborate, what do you mean with refactoring? Also even if I don't implement setOnClickListener (there is mentioned ColorDrawable...) Result is the same... Sep 12 10:13:33 Ok... I've read about refactoring which is about making my code more efficient... but I still don't know how will this solve my issue that I asked a few lines above? Sep 12 10:13:39 I've red* Sep 12 10:20:14 frojnd: You will need to change the margin in the Button's layoutparams Sep 12 10:20:45 Flipping great, I uploaded a version of my app without the ads turned on Sep 12 10:20:46 And default buttons will have their min width/height set afaik Sep 12 10:21:38 pduin thank you.. let me play with layoutparams and see how it goes Sep 12 10:35:21 I have a library that contains an Activity. This Activity requires a resource from a dependency. The build.gradle of the project containing the Activity is the following https://ghostbin.com/paste/ymbcy How do I need to configure the build.gradle to include resources from the dependency? I thought this happens by default? Sep 12 10:50:51 If I go from activity1 to activity2, and then straight back to activity1 using "finish()" will activity1 call onCreate or onResume? Sep 12 10:51:44 depends Sep 12 10:52:46 https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities.html Sep 12 10:56:34 if you finish() activity1 when u went to activity2, it will still be on your stack Sep 12 10:57:56 " Leeds: I got sick of downloading software with toolbars or wrapped with the sourceforge installer" Wait until you get ahold of Windows 10's advertisements in the logon screen. :P Sep 12 10:59:04 alright thanks. I could also use some help with my TextWatcher: http://pastebin.com/ta8k7hp8 I append "-" to form a date looking string. But the "-" characters isn't deletable. When I start erasing text from the field, those "-" doesn't get deleted Sep 12 10:59:07 Still, the system may have destroyed the Activity. Sep 12 10:59:42 " lower datarate are more resistant to interference so it might just be it" Actually, they take advantage of the fact that a microwave interferes in pulses, many times per second. Sneak a packet inbetween and oh it's like magic. And yeah, it drops the data rate to shit. :( Sep 12 11:00:13 Bernzel: Because you are appending "-" Sep 12 11:00:34 Also, that's an odd way of formatting a date Sep 12 11:00:54 barq, 1967-04-15 is how it will look Sep 12 11:00:59 why is it strange? Sep 12 11:02:54 pduin, margins works wonderfully with Button's layoutparams. But I'm wondering how can I set padding if at all programaitcally for linearlayout? Sep 12 11:03:28 Use a formatter to format thinsg. Sep 12 11:05:02 barq, but I want it to happen in realtime when the user is inputing data. It's working, except for when you need to retype the text Sep 12 11:08:01 Not sure what exactly you are trying to achieve. Insert hyphens automatically while typing and removing, as is done for example when entering windows activation keys? Sep 12 11:08:22 barq, exactly Sep 12 11:12:35 No need to highlight if there is only one conversation going on. Sep 12 11:13:28 Hello, i am watching at a project on Github, on this project, icon are generated from "codes". And i dont understand how the link is done between the code and the real icon. Here is an example : https://codeshare.io/N7Sd7 Sep 12 11:13:36 You can probably find other people with this problem if you search http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16976173/adding-a-dash-in-the-edittext-automatically-in-android Sep 12 11:14:15 You probably want a condition that ignores your rules when deleting Sep 12 11:14:42 Record the length in beforeTextChanged and then compare with the current length in afterTextChanged Sep 12 11:15:05 And if previous < current you want your hyphens to be added, otherwise just remove the character, i.e. do nothing Sep 12 11:15:19 Does anyone know how can I override min width/height for default button? button.setMinWidth(10) is not working... min width for width is still way too big Sep 12 11:15:24 Look at ishroids answer Sep 12 11:15:47 thanks, can't believe I didn't find that one when searching Sep 12 11:16:35 Finally found it!!! it is setMinimWidth() method!!! woooow :) Sep 12 11:17:00 app_: it looks like a custom attribute of the custom UI element Sep 12 11:22:54 Typical solution is to totally subtract out "-" along with anything besides a...z and A...Z and 0...9 Sep 12 11:23:06 Then add back the - every 5th character Sep 12 11:23:19 You're making the existing typed in ones irrelavent Sep 12 11:23:32 Only producing them on display, not storing :) Sep 12 11:23:58 TL;DR Treat "-" as white space Sep 12 11:25:29 Is there a way to apply drawable tint over drawable xml in Pre API 21? Sep 12 11:30:19 Moshdev: read this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29155463/drawable-tinting-for-api-21 Sep 12 11:30:34 Moshdev: if it helps you, you owe me a pot of gold, you leprechaun Sep 12 11:32:13 VerbalKint: sorry, but i don't need the imageview, i use TextView drawableLeft and so on Sep 12 11:37:03 If a module in AS does not contain a java folder, how can I create one? Sep 12 11:37:36 you can create it manually or right click create new directory Sep 12 11:38:29 resource directory? Sep 12 11:39:28 frojnd: You set the padding on the View(Button) itself Sep 12 11:40:01 pduin, yeah I figured there can't be another way thant on itself :P Sep 12 11:40:45 Great, so your Button size/margin/padding problem is solved now? Sep 12 11:40:54 pduin, yeah! Sep 12 11:41:04 Party time! Sep 12 11:41:30 I set margins with params on linearlayout and padding with minimium height/weight on button itself \o_ p_A_r_T_y \o\ Sep 12 11:42:17 I'm now trying to figure out what is my parent theme :) All the buttons gets ALL CAPS text and I would like to apply false in styles.xml Sep 12 11:44:44 You can define a style for your buttons and apply it to just your buttons Sep 12 11:45:32 about that downgrading sdk version I talked about earlier, I finally got a solid errormessage saying "It is not allowed to downgrade devices that previously used the M-permissions (SDK targeted at 22 or higher versions) to the APK files using the privileges of the old type (SDK targeted at 22 or earlier versions)" so to my understanding I can't actually go down on supported versions? Sep 12 11:45:40 pduin, I think I'll do that. Because I also need to make round corneres and other stuff and tihs way I'll also refactor my java code Sep 12 11:46:10 Use ContextThemeWrapper for this. Create a ContextThemeWrapper with the current Activity and the custom button style resouce id as parameters. Sep 12 11:46:29 Pass the ContextThemeWrapper object when creating your buttons. Sep 12 11:52:01 Thank you pduin :) Sep 12 11:54:23 I imported a custom project. Apparently icons are generated from a font file (.tff). But how can I know what code matches with what icon ? Sep 12 11:54:27 Bernzel: What you pasted is the only case where it's not possible Sep 12 11:55:30 frojnd: No problem. I've just finished an extensive UI overhaul complete with theming support, so all this stuff is still fresh for me. Sep 12 11:55:32 SimonVT , and what is the case? Is it target Sep 12 11:55:39 targetSdk or minSdk? Sep 12 11:55:51 target Sep 12 11:56:05 it's too high then? Sep 12 11:56:23 Huh? Sep 12 11:57:43 What is the matter with targetSdk ? I haven't "downgraded", I've uped the version instead Sep 12 11:58:00 always target newest sdk Sep 12 11:58:02 Apparently you're trying to lower it Sep 12 11:58:11 Otherwise it wouldn't tell you that Sep 12 11:58:22 its minsdk you probably want to change Sep 12 11:58:36 Google must be drunk. I target 24 , which is the newest? Sep 12 11:59:23 Check your code again, the apk doesn't seem to be targetting api24 Sep 12 11:59:26 pduin, I was constantly putting away reading stuff related to UI, I was always leaning towards backend logic but I guess at one point you must grow fond of UI and the way it was designed to work. Sep 12 12:01:14 frojnd: I had the same attitude until I found myself reading too much reviews stating the app looked dated. It still had the 3.0/4.0 look until last week. Sep 12 12:02:31 I may be partial blind on one eye, but I'm 100% sure I'm targeting 24.. Sep 12 12:02:32 Although the last update didn't bring any new functionality, customer response to the new look has been overwhelmingly positive. Sep 12 12:03:32 hehe :) Sep 12 12:04:01 <_genuser_> once you set a view to Visible.GONE, is it actually deleted from the main View? Sep 12 12:04:07 <_genuser_> can you not set it back to Visible? Sep 12 12:04:09 It will definitely pay off to take a good hard look at your UI every once in a while. Sep 12 12:04:16 _genuser_: You can make it visible again Sep 12 12:05:44 <_genuser_> pduin: hmm, I have a linearyear with two framelayouts in side (A and B). If I set A.setVisibley(View.GONE); B.setVisiblity(View.VISIBLE), A is gone, but B never shows up. Sep 12 12:05:47 <_genuser_> odd. Sep 12 12:07:52 Odd indeed. There must be something wrong somewhere else in your code. Sep 12 12:08:26 <_genuser_> pduin: simpler things are the ones that end up taking too long. Sep 12 12:08:40 <_genuser_> I hate how there are soooo many elements in the UI that you have to keep track of how you name them. Sep 12 12:08:52 AS mistkes main/java for a package and says the package com.x doesn't match main.java.x Sep 12 12:09:30 <_genuser_> pduin: ah, wrong reference! see about too many names? it's working now. :) Sep 12 12:10:04 _genuser_: So true. Especially estimating how long UI stuff will take is impossible. Sep 12 12:13:58 barq: And it did this without you ever telling it your java files were in src/ ? Sep 12 12:15:58 I don't have sourceSets defined, I just imported the module again Sep 12 12:16:30 I want to clean up the project structure to match the gradle structure and stop messing with sourceSets to see the resource dependencies work that way. Sep 12 12:17:28 the src folder is blue Sep 12 12:17:38 SimonVT, it seems it was the minSdkVersion that actually NEEDED to be downgraded? :S I took it down to 14 (which I'm guessing is what I used before) and it seemed google could accept that. Makes sense? Sep 12 12:17:47 Remnants of your previous mistake Sep 12 12:18:08 my previous mistake? Sep 12 12:18:20 Sync, or delete idea files and reimport if that doesn't work Sep 12 12:18:42 Was for barq Sep 12 12:19:05 ah okey Sep 12 12:19:11 How should I delete the module? Sep 12 12:19:15 In the file manageR? Sep 12 12:19:36 .iml files and .idea folders Sep 12 12:19:39 Syncing should work tho Sep 12 12:19:47 sync fails Sep 12 12:19:48 file -> project structure Sep 12 12:20:31 Also delete in file manager after deleting in project structure? Sep 12 12:21:02 just to be sure Sep 12 12:21:28 OK, now I reimport view file new import module Sep 12 12:21:36 After exporting from Eclipse and generating the gradle file Sep 12 12:22:27 Now I only have a src folder and the packages directly underneath Sep 12 12:25:02 How do I go about creating the main and java folders from there? Sep 12 12:26:07 They're just folders Sep 12 12:26:36 Right now src is blue Sep 12 12:26:43 So I create a folder main in there Sep 12 12:26:59 It only gives me the package option Sep 12 12:27:25 Still thinks it's a source folder then Sep 12 12:48:04 is it possible to get a path from the uri returned by the sotrage access framework Sep 12 12:54:14 is there an easy way to read/write to a redis server from android? Sep 12 12:55:48 Does anyone know why ADB would discover my device using "adb devices" multiple times and then fail to find the device for no apparent reason later. Windows 10 Sep 12 12:56:40 is Windows 10 the answer? Sep 12 12:56:50 snowball: uri.getPath() Sep 12 12:57:49 Perhaps, but I'd imagine that Google has put enough resources in Android development working on Win/OSX/Linux Sep 12 12:59:24 Hey guys Sep 12 12:59:38 i have a project that im working on and i'm running into a wall with this thing Sep 12 12:59:44 shmooz my intent was to find out if the doc is internal or on the sd, the uri path doesn't reveal that Sep 12 12:59:58 Leeds vim 8 ! Sep 12 13:00:20 basicly i want to output keyevents to any application somehow, this particular case would be reading QR codes with the camera and then outputting that result to any receiving edittext etc. Sep 12 13:00:28 i have trouble with KGDB on hammerhead. i have connection throuth headphones jack with patched kernel but have errors like "Packet qSymbol (symbol-lookup) is NOT supported" and phone rebooting. Sep 12 13:00:32 is that in any way or shape possible? Sep 12 13:01:20 somebody can help me with things or link..? Sep 12 13:03:05 <_genuser_> g00s in in the house? woo! Sep 12 13:03:52 * Zharf beats this edittext senseless Sep 12 13:04:16 <_genuser_> Zharf: there's no other way to master the UI!! Sep 12 13:09:16 hi everyone... Sep 12 13:09:25 hi Sep 12 13:09:40
