**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 15 02:59:58 2016 Sep 15 03:09:41 hi Sep 15 03:17:27 when i override onBackPressed() back button stops working - what should be the reason behind this ? Sep 15 03:19:55 are you calling the super.onBackPressed()? Sep 15 03:21:30 whatitis: yes Sep 15 03:22:39 no you aren't Sep 15 03:22:46 if. you did, it. would. work Sep 15 03:23:33 pfn NPE, if was null Sep 15 03:23:55 super can never be null Sep 15 03:24:05 pfn: you mean i have to omit super.onBackPressed() just before the overridden method ? Sep 15 03:24:41 sorry "just after" Sep 15 03:26:13 you probably have this in a try block or conditional, and thus, it does not get. called Sep 15 03:26:34 another question - when in Android - you have to get the method name, within the method body for debugging purposes - rather than hard-coding it , what is the best workaround for that ? Sep 15 03:26:43 pfn: thanks - i'll try it and see Sep 15 03:35:58 there is no good workaround without performance destroying stack inspection for determining calling method name Sep 15 03:36:45 I have a custom list adapter with an onclick adapter which opens up an activity to edit the content. Upon pressing update the activity finishs, does its business and returns to the list but its not updated. How can i force it to update? Sep 15 03:37:14 I would use startIntentForResult and update in there, but it wont work because the intent is called from the customAdapter onclick listiner Sep 15 03:38:38 Is there a way to suppress the “This build could be faster, please consider using the Gradle Daemon” message? Sep 15 03:40:23 Never mind, a onResume() function exists. Sep 15 05:10:57 Hi there, I've been running some cURL commands like this "curl -u username:token https://api.github.com/user/repos -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.inertia-preview+json" Sep 15 05:11:08 How can I run that same command in Android/Java? Sep 15 05:11:25 If i run it on the command line I get a JSON response; i want to do the exact same thing except within an android app Sep 15 05:11:27 <_genuser_> any ideas on removing password from pdf files? Sep 15 05:11:36 <_genuser_> I know it's unrelated, just seeing if someone has a clue. Sep 15 05:14:39 or if not Curl, how can I run http requests in a similar way? Sep 15 05:21:24 ir7466: check out retrofit and okhttp Sep 15 05:22:04 thanks Leeds - is OkHttp (I have heard of that I think) easy to add to android by just adding it to the build.gradle file? Sep 15 05:22:12 yup Sep 15 05:22:22 awesome Sep 15 05:23:49 in that example above, what would the "-u username:token" part be called? Sep 15 05:24:07 I figure it would be some sort of authentication, but from an http perspective is there a proper name for it? Sep 15 05:24:58 ir7466: it's called "authentication" Sep 15 05:25:13 does it get passed with the request? Sep 15 05:25:18 or is it two separate actions? Sep 15 05:25:34 ir7466: it depends on the kind of authentication Sep 15 05:25:46 well just that one above Sep 15 05:25:53 whatever -u username:token does Sep 15 05:26:01 i'm trying to replicate that Sep 15 05:26:11 ir7466: "that one above" doesn't define a type of authentication Sep 15 05:26:31 how do you mean? Sep 15 05:26:35 ir7466: it could be as simple as adding username and password to the HTTP header Sep 15 05:26:47 ir7466: using cookies Sep 15 05:26:55 is there some way I can find out? Sep 15 05:27:18 ir7466: connecting to other authentication server before performing that request, etc. Sep 15 05:28:43 ir7466: not sure. read the cURL documentation to see what does it do and github documentation to see what kind of authentication it requires Sep 15 05:29:04 i believe according to the github docs its "Basic authentication" Sep 15 05:29:24 with a personal access token Sep 15 05:31:45 then you probably need to read how to perform basic authentication in the HTTP header. you have to add username and password to the header and perform the request via a secure connection to prevent everybody to read your secrets Sep 15 05:33:08 ir7466: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22490057/android-okhttp-with-basic-authentication Sep 15 05:33:16 ir7466: what does your nick mean? Sep 15 05:33:18 but what about with the token? Sep 15 05:33:50 the other 7465 ir's were taken Sep 15 05:34:09 what about being more original? Sep 15 05:35:11 like how? Sep 15 05:35:37 i think it's ok Sep 15 05:35:54 if you think it's ok then it's ok Sep 15 05:37:00 In order to not get an exception when I do setSupportActionBar(toolbar); I have to set false and true in the AppTheme. Why the cheesesquare demo doesn't need to do that? Sep 15 05:37:31 ir7466: did you read the stackoverflow? Sep 15 05:38:27 hello Sep 15 05:38:51 yes but it only talks about how to do it with a username and password Sep 15 05:38:53 not a username:token Sep 15 05:39:15 what's token? Sep 15 05:39:34 Can I configure android as is (any version, latest?) to enable usb tethering whenever usb cable connected? I see when trying with the app "automate" on andoid 6 the action to listen to connectivity is OK, check usb tethering status allowed, but setting usb tethering to enabled/disabled requires rooted device? Sep 15 05:39:42 a private access token Sep 15 05:39:49 i think it's similar to an oAuth token Sep 15 05:39:54 like a password? Sep 15 05:40:04 i guess. you can generate them on github Sep 15 05:40:56 I don't know. Try using it as password. Or read the cURL manual to understand what does it do when you use username:token Sep 15 05:41:01 ok Sep 15 05:41:25 to make your snippets more realistic you should write your actual username and your actual password, though Sep 15 05:41:42 ok Sep 15 05:42:01 you can trust this channel, we won't abuse your account on github to make evil things Sep 15 05:42:49 yes i think the token is basically a password Sep 15 05:42:52 you're right Sep 15 05:43:25 I was just guessing Sep 15 05:51:31 ir7466: did I help you? Sep 15 05:52:58 i am currently testing Sep 15 05:53:03 still building... :) Sep 15 05:53:14 i'll know when it hits the first breakpoint Sep 15 05:55:18 i think the OkHTTP is not working. the apk is taking forever to install Sep 15 05:55:47 why would okhttp have anything to do with installing an apk? Sep 15 05:56:19 because that is the only change i've made in the last 10 mins Sep 15 05:56:50 ah ok Sep 15 05:56:53 "java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied (missing INTERNET permission?)" Sep 15 05:57:04 obviously it'll get bigger if you're pulling in a library, but not that much that you should really notice Sep 15 05:57:27 it ended up crashing with that error, i guess i needed to update the manifest Sep 15 05:57:50 their documentation is pretty light, i didnt see it mentioned anywhere although i guess it does make sense Sep 15 05:58:18 I think that's a pretty basic well-known Android thing :P Sep 15 05:59:37 ok now it builds Sep 15 05:59:50 but when i run in debug mode it just freezes - hasn't hit a breakpoint yet Sep 15 06:00:34 re-run in normal mode and look for an exception Sep 15 06:02:34 ok i just tried it again. seems ok... and seems to be getting the json result too, so token does act as password Sep 15 06:03:02 thanks for your help. one final thing - is it hard in android to convert a string of json into an actual JSONObject/JSONArray? Sep 15 06:04:42 HoloPed: set `APP_PLATFORM := android-23` in your Application.mk Sep 15 06:05:08 basically the result i've got back is huge, i want to be able to iterate through it more nicely than parsing the raw json text Sep 15 06:06:41 i guess i'm sort of thinking of something like json_decode in php, where it just dumps it all into an array... something like that would be good Sep 15 06:07:04 look into gson Sep 15 06:08:28 ok Sep 15 06:08:34 will i need to create the classes myself? Sep 15 06:08:41 or will the library handle it at runtime? Sep 15 06:09:41 depends on your json Sep 15 06:10:04 how complexed it is Sep 15 06:10:15 it's all strings Sep 15 06:10:19 if that helps Sep 15 06:10:44 a few ints and bools too, my mistake Sep 15 06:11:11 there's no blobs or anything like that though Sep 15 06:11:54 just an example how to parse: HashMap> scores = gson.fromJson(scoreReader, HashMap.class); Sep 15 06:12:40 if you need custom fields, you might better creating a pojo Sep 15 06:12:50 +be Sep 15 06:14:57 ok Sep 15 06:15:30 i actually just tried new JSONArray(json) and that worked. put everything into namevalue pairs Sep 15 06:28:49 ir7466: how is it going? Sep 15 06:29:33 it's going well now Sep 15 06:29:42 i have used OkHttp and it seems to be working Sep 15 06:29:56 i do have a question about asynchronous calls though Sep 15 06:30:17 if i have a function like "getFooBar()" that returns ArrayList - how do i do that given it's asynchronous Sep 15 06:32:24 it is asynchronous or you would like it to be asynchronous? Sep 15 06:35:18 i guess i want it to be async Sep 15 06:35:36 i want the data to end up going in a listview Sep 15 06:35:59 so i guess in my mind i see the listview having like a spinner icon to show it's loading, and then when it's done the listview loads the data Sep 15 06:38:01 do that then Sep 15 06:38:35 what you call "spinner icon" is called "progress bar" Sep 15 06:38:55 http://pastebin.ca/3718370 Sep 15 06:39:00 thats sort of what i have in mind Sep 15 06:39:03 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html Sep 15 06:39:12 but in ClassB how do I "wait" Sep 15 06:39:17 oh... using AsyncTask? Sep 15 06:44:25 Is there a special recycler view adapter for SQLite queries? Sep 15 06:44:32 Do I just use a normal adapter? Sep 15 06:53:30 hey guys, any tips on app promotion that has worked for you? Sep 15 06:54:05 obiously spam, fake 5 stars and fake accounts, why not Sep 15 06:54:40 murosai let us know if you find any good ones Sep 15 06:54:57 are you independent dev. is this your first app Sep 15 06:56:40 when i first started, i promoted it on local android forum and its "your app" section Sep 15 06:56:54 hmm, I wonder how I can use RemoteInput with a RemoteViews Sep 15 06:58:33 murosai: firstly, be a good app Sep 15 06:59:16 murosai: secondly, be a very good app that is worth money Sep 15 06:59:21 thats a pretty subjective thing to say Leeds Sep 15 06:59:55 not to mention, that even really shit apps who does good promotion gets big regardless of thier quality Sep 15 07:00:08 raoul11: if it wasn't subjective there would be only 1 application for each genre Sep 15 07:00:10 raoul11: not really Sep 15 07:00:28 or maybe better to say "don't be a crap app" Sep 15 07:00:45 raoul11: if it wasn't subjective, advertisement and marketing would be an algorithm Sep 15 07:00:53 arancio: what i meant is that the statement "very good app" has no real merit Sep 15 07:01:24 sorry to interrupt again, going back to my function at http://pastebin.ca/3718370 - how do I make it so return myStuff; isn't returned until client.newCall() has finished executing asynchronously Sep 15 07:01:37 I did look at ASyncTask but i'm not sure if it's suitable for me... Sep 15 07:01:46 at least i'm not sure how my example would work with it Sep 15 07:02:49 ir7466: perform the query in doInBackground() and update your view in onPostExecute() Sep 15 07:03:00 ir7466: you don't return anything Sep 15 07:03:23 if i do it that way, do I need to be doing all this login in the activity? Sep 15 07:03:42 like have a subclass MyActivity extends AsyncTask Sep 15 07:03:58 because ideally i think some of this logic should be more separated from the activity Sep 15 07:04:51 murosai: so, what's the app? Sep 15 07:06:18 hello Sep 15 07:06:26 ir7466: no, you don't need to subclass AsyncTask Sep 15 07:06:43 ir7466: did you read that page? Sep 15 07:06:49 wwwi: hello! Sep 15 07:06:51 interesting, setTextColor(int color) doesnt work from colors.xml, but instead need to use setTextColor(ContentCompat.setColor(int color)) Sep 15 07:06:51 yep i think i see what you mean Sep 15 07:07:12 there's one thing I'm not understanding though, you say run onPostExecute from the view Sep 15 07:07:23 when your server is under maintenance, you pop up a message, but what do you do at that point, you stop selling the product, until you finish maintenance? Sep 15 07:07:23 no, I didn't say that Sep 15 07:07:25 but doesn't that logic need to be inside the Task class? Sep 15 07:07:30 + this||context inside the ContextCompat.setColor Sep 15 07:07:43 arancio: hello Sep 15 07:07:44 "and update your view in onPostExecute()" Sep 15 07:08:07 how does the Task know which view to update? Sep 15 07:08:22 shouldn't that be done in like an anonymous method from the view somehow? Sep 15 07:08:26 no Sep 15 07:08:59 aren't you supposed to sell a product that does what it promises? when you are under maintenance, your product is sort of paused Sep 15 07:09:18 can't i override that method from the Activity class? Sep 15 07:09:23 that seems like it would make sense Sep 15 07:09:34 pass a reference to your view(s) explicitly or implicitly Sep 15 07:10:02 is it impossible to override from the Activity class? Sep 15 07:10:20 let me rephrase Sep 15 07:10:49 say I want my task - which is downloading some data in json and converting it to objects (and i thought just return an ArrayList of those objects) Sep 15 07:10:59 say i want to use that in many places - not just one activity Sep 15 07:11:09 the key feature of this is the construction of that ArrayList Sep 15 07:11:22 i may choose to use it in many different ways in many different activities Sep 15 07:11:36 pass a continuation instead Sep 15 07:12:44 In order to not get an exception when I do setSupportActionBar(toolbar); I have to set false and true in the AppTheme. Why the cheesesquare demo doesn't need to do that? Sep 15 07:12:53 what is a continuation? Sep 15 07:14:32 i've been looking on stackoverflow, see this image: http://i.stack.imgur.com/I23KW.png Sep 15 07:15:07 where he's got MyTask().execute.... i basically want to do what he's doing, but somewhere around MyTask.execute I want to be able to access the ArrayList i've created Sep 15 07:15:07 well that's one way to describe how asynctask works... Sep 15 07:17:28 it must be possible to override the onpostexecute from the activity Sep 15 07:17:41 then I can do whatever i please with the result Sep 15 07:18:52 ir7466: either you hardwire what you want to do in onPostExecute() (it will be executed in the UI thread, conveniently) or you subclass AsyncTask, add a reference to a continuation and execute that continuation for maximum genericity (="whatever I please"). A continuation is a piece of code to be executed after the end of an asynchronous task. Google "continuation" "java continuation" Sep 15 07:19:25 sorry, I can't help you more now Sep 15 07:19:29 ok Sep 15 07:21:16 look into where each method is executed and you'll find where you need to place your code Sep 15 07:21:21 no need for kung fu Sep 15 07:22:19 I have an ImageView set to 0dp width, 0.5 layout width and it scales down to half width on the left side as intended. However, the height has alot of blank space above and below, any suggestions on removing this? Sep 15 07:22:35 scaleType Sep 15 07:23:04 ugh, for serious??? RemoteViews.setRemoteInput is an @hide API, fml Sep 15 07:26:53 Odaym: Thanks, fitStart worked. However, the design view shows the space below is still being taken up Sep 15 07:27:20 probably by something that hasn't rendered yet? Sep 15 07:27:36 dunno, I test on device, if it works there then I assume I did my job :P Sep 15 07:28:10 Thanks, i will continue re-doing this view and see how it goes Sep 15 07:31:19 today is the first time I ever hear of TwoLineListItem UI element Sep 15 07:33:36 ok a more general java question. say i create a base class for AsyncTasks because most tasks will be the same, except the return value from doInBackground will be an unknown type of ArrayList Sep 15 07:33:51 so it might be ArrayList, ArrayList etc - i don't know until run time Sep 15 07:33:59 like ArrayList? Sep 15 07:34:01 protected abstract ArrayList doInBackground(); <-- if i put that in the base class Sep 15 07:34:13 yes you beat me to the punch Odaym Sep 15 07:34:19 yea im super genuis Sep 15 07:34:26 why do you want to do that? Sep 15 07:34:39 I tried T first of all, because I remember a tiny bit about generics Sep 15 07:34:51 but it says cannot resolve symbol Sep 15 07:34:58 but when I try it doesn't complain Sep 15 07:34:59 if you're going to the web and stuff with an API and all that, use retrofit Sep 15 07:36:04 Odaym: The height is definetly and issue. Although the image is scaling, the height is not shrinking and is offsetting the content below half a screen almost Sep 15 07:36:17 i'm happy to look into retrofit, although OkHttp seems to be doing it's job Sep 15 07:36:34 i'm curious right now about the generics though, why doesn't it like but it's fine with ? Sep 15 07:36:36 nah retrofit is a whole other ballgame man Sep 15 07:36:42 not sure i suck at java Sep 15 07:36:50 see #java, but they are not nice people Sep 15 07:37:02 maybe it's an issue of where the image is sitting in, Ben2560 Sep 15 07:37:42 Odaym: Quick google, android:adjustViewBounds="true" allows the image view to resize its dimensions Sep 15 07:38:04 cool Sep 15 07:38:05 Fixed the issue. So i guess anything that dynamically changes size would need that for the view to adjust Sep 15 07:38:08 life solved Sep 15 07:38:20 Just in case you ever see someone with the same problem Sep 15 07:38:30 * Odaym tucks answer under belt Sep 15 07:39:58 when your server is under maintenance, you pop up a message, but what do you do at that point, you stop selling the product, until you finish maintenance? Sep 15 07:40:06 Now that the rest of my program looks neat, just have to figure out the implementation of a gallery for the app with the ability to copy photos from the device gallery Sep 15 07:41:18 sounds easy Sep 15 07:41:22 is easy Sep 15 07:44:11 I think implementing google maps based off the address in a database is easier Sep 15 07:44:41 I actually have no idea where to start / how to implement the gallery part. So google time Sep 15 07:46:11 what does it do Sep 15 07:46:42 it's a UI issue you're going to have, not code Sep 15 07:46:46 how to show it in a decent way Sep 15 07:50:09 Its an assignment, I have to have a gallery built in with some images that are included, and there has to be the ability to add images to the gallery from the device gallery, and also to remove them Sep 15 07:53:24 Looks doesnt have to be to good, so a gridview with images would do Sep 15 07:58:56 of course gridview, that's granted Sep 15 07:59:24 open picker, select image, you get the path back, load that path into the array of paths that's fed to the gridview adapter, notifyDataSetChanged on the adapter Sep 15 08:00:29 so use Intents eh Sep 15 08:00:39 also, why gridView not recyclerView? Sep 15 08:00:57 + Sep 15 08:05:51 Hi, i followed this android tutorial https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html and have a problem with the android:onClick="sendMessage" Event. My sendMessage function is not firing. Any idea what could be wrong? Sep 15 08:05:51 quick question about Retrofit Sep 15 08:06:06 do you guys create response models of the actual API JSON response also? Sep 15 08:06:27 like you go to jsonschema2pojo.org and give it the JSON model and paste back what it replies as Java classes? Sep 15 08:06:53 yes Sep 15 08:07:26 ok Sep 15 08:07:50 so you also try to combine together as much models as possible by having the API design be not so varied in structure of the response? Sep 15 08:08:18 Thanks Odaym, that is a good idea Sep 15 08:08:30 in my recent project we are trying to use repository design pattern, which separates api models and db models Sep 15 08:08:31 cause I haven't found a way to have the parent elements be the same and only the contents of "data" nested way inside be different Sep 15 08:08:32 Ashiren: We have not been taught recyclerView Sep 15 08:09:17 i always have the same outer element be the same, i.e. data > message, body > data, code Sep 15 08:09:55 only inner data changes Sep 15 08:13:22 i had just few situations like this. in this case the inner data just holded all possible variables Sep 15 08:13:31 sounds ugly since most of the variables would be null Sep 15 08:13:34 you can do that? Sep 15 08:13:51 oh.. Sep 15 08:14:00 so it just wouldn't set them! easy! Sep 15 08:14:04 yea they'd be null Sep 15 08:14:09 yes Sep 15 08:15:49 Anyone building aosp? Sep 15 08:16:48 How can i add mapview into listview after last row ? I want to make it scrollable as well Sep 15 08:17:29 I'm trying to figure out how to build just single .so library without using 10 minutes each round and re-compiling a lot of extra stuff. Sep 15 08:23:16 IJNX: what are the first three words of the channel topic? Sep 15 08:24:06 java only? Sep 15 08:24:18 android application development Sep 15 08:24:19 lol Sep 15 08:24:32 Well my application is dependent on libraries :) Sep 15 08:24:36 Hello, i want redirect logcat to a file with command 'logcat -v time > somefile.txt'. But it write file always, is there any better way with buffered? Sep 15 08:24:46 he has a good point, where else is the poor guy going to turn? Sep 15 08:24:53 I don't think there's an #android-aosp Sep 15 08:25:02 whay about #android-root Sep 15 08:25:37 ok, thanks. Sep 15 08:25:44 I'd keep asking here Sep 15 08:25:53 but not repeating the same question of course Sep 15 08:25:58 Any one can help me? Sep 15 08:26:25 Could anybody help me to debug a RecyclerView that is not showing anything? Sep 15 08:27:08 cnbleu: your question is not clear. I would rephrase it Sep 15 08:29:06 arancio: Redirct logcat to a file cause file wrote with high frequency, i want slow down it. Sep 15 08:30:27 arancio: sorry about my bad English, can you get me? Sep 15 08:30:31 cnbleu: I can't help you but now your question is understandable, at least. I hope someone else can help you. Sep 15 08:31:09 this is more a question for bash linux redirect buffering Sep 15 08:31:47 one way would be logcat -v time | gzip > file.gz .... it will cache a bit before writing to file Sep 15 08:31:54 plus it provides compression Sep 15 08:32:28 yes, i want it cache first and then write it. Sep 15 08:32:48 Ashiren: i have a try now, thanks. Sep 15 08:34:02 cnbleu: or if you want fixed delay try this: adb logcat | while read a; do echo $a; sleep 0.1; done Sep 15 08:34:03 then to read the contents you could zcat file Sep 15 08:36:57 cnbleu if you use pipe with any command it will always buffer data. Sep 15 08:37:51 Ashiren: it seems works. I run the command in adb shell and a file named 'logcatfile.txt' created. Sep 15 08:39:23 IJNX: I work for this for half a day. After process.exec('logcat -v tim') the process.getInputStream return 0 byte. Sep 15 08:41:51 cnbleu: maybe this helps http://bit.ly/2cwACOH ? Sep 15 08:44:04 IJNX: i will have a try, thanks Sep 15 08:57:13 Ashiren: I use 'logcat -v time | gzip > logcatfile.gz' and i get the logcatfile.gz file. But there is an error 'gzip: logcat.gz: unexpected end of file' when command 'gzip -d logcat.gz' executed. Sep 15 08:57:39 Ashiren: I'm short of linux shell Sep 15 08:58:42 Ashiren: Is there any help? Sep 15 09:04:29 cnbleu: zcat logcat.gz Sep 15 09:05:23 Ashiren: 'zcat: can't stat: logcat.gz (logcat.gz.Z): No such file or directory', but the file is there.... Sep 15 09:05:38 oO Sep 15 09:05:43 or gunzip Sep 15 09:06:04 Ashiren: Or '/system/bin/sh: zcat: not found' in adb shell Sep 15 09:06:15 gunzip not works well Sep 15 09:06:24 ah you mean in android Sep 15 09:06:31 well, android bash is limited Sep 15 09:06:39 uh,, ys Sep 15 09:06:52 normally i would move the file to the computer and read it in computer Sep 15 09:07:01 Yes, i want exec that command in my application Sep 15 09:08:15 Ashiren: There is another problem: i can't stop the process whitch run 'logcat -v tim | gzip > logcat.gz' in my adb shell Sep 15 09:08:46 i guess, this is the 'can't read' reason Sep 15 09:09:31 And i try read the logcat.gz file on my Mac with command 'gzip -d' 'zcat' 'gunzip' Sep 15 09:09:43 not works! Sep 15 09:10:15 ps | grep logcat and then kill PID Sep 15 09:10:28 ok Sep 15 09:13:31 Ashiren: i can't kill the logcat id. Sep 15 09:14:56 i will try another resolvent Sep 15 09:15:10 my activity extends a base activity class which has protected MyApi getTheApi() { return getApp().getApi(); } in it.. Im trying to access it from a fragment in the activity but it cant find it :( getActivity().getTheApi doesnt work Sep 15 09:15:33 but i can do getTheApi.. in the activity Sep 15 09:15:59 IJNX: And that links you post above, not works as well. Sep 15 09:16:21 ok Sep 15 09:16:22 cnbleu: you can pipe it through gstdbuf(on osx) Sep 15 09:17:39 logcat: i have no knowledge about gstdbuf, but i will try. Sep 15 09:19:26 thornekey: The Activity you 'getActivty' from your fragment may not your base activty. try '((your base activity) getActivity).getApp().getApi())' Sep 15 09:19:58 cnbleu, oh, but the activity im getting it from extends base activity (does that not link it?) Sep 15 09:20:09 ill try that though Sep 15 09:20:41 getActivity() returns the base base Activity, which doesnt have getApi() Sep 15 09:20:45 you have to cast it yourself Sep 15 09:20:53 oh i see Sep 15 09:21:14 Yes, Ashiren right. Sep 15 09:21:51 how do i cast it though when BaseActivity isnt public Sep 15 09:22:37 These days, i develop a new app whtich run some custom machine. After a long time works, my app crash with ANR, but i can't find the reason, so i want lot the logcat infomation. Sep 15 09:22:56 Ashiren, i just made the base activity public and the method static Sep 15 09:24:05 make getApp method public Sep 15 09:24:17 thornekey: Sep 15 09:24:30 umm making things static isnt good way to solve this.. Sep 15 09:25:46 ok Sep 15 09:25:48 Hmm Sep 15 09:26:51 Ashiren, i removed the static but left it public Sep 15 09:31:28 good for yo Sep 15 09:31:29 u Sep 15 09:31:44 not really cos now it says it needs to be static again :( Sep 15 09:32:30 hi guys, I am writing an app with Firebase and added a ChildEventListener to o node. One of the children is supposed to be a Map... but how can I convert the value I am getting to that list: {0={name=Default cateoory, lastChange=1473762098807, color=#DDDDDD}} } Sep 15 09:33:08 each of the inner brackets is an object of Category (in this case there is only one but might be multiple) Sep 15 09:53:04 Passing an arrayList to a ImageAdapter class. The position value is for some reason going up to one more time then the list size Sep 15 09:53:36 So i have to manually pass the size to add an if statement Sep 15 10:15:24 Hi guys - what is the normal process if you've got a dynamic list view, and you want to click on an item to see more details? Sep 15 10:15:42 like say I have List<> of objects, i want object.getName() to be the name shown on the listview Sep 15 10:15:51 but when you click on it, then you see more details from that object Sep 15 10:16:03 should this all be done in the one activity? Sep 15 10:16:14 or should I pass intents with the object to another activity or something? Sep 15 10:17:03 you mean its expandable? Sep 15 10:17:08 or new window/dialog Sep 15 10:18:46 you have to make the type of object you're making a list of, implement Parcelable Sep 15 10:18:51 so that you can send it between activities Sep 15 10:19:11 once there, you can just get(position).getName() or any other get() you want on the object Sep 15 10:19:40 so you say intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra("my_list_of_objects", thatList): Sep 15 10:20:33 <_genuser_> do you guys do image editing? user selects profile and you let him/her select a square piece or something to crop out the rest? Sep 15 10:21:24 well this is interesting, relativelayout with an in it and elements that want to be layout_below="@id/some_id_in_the_included" works in one layout but not another which is essentially equivalent Sep 15 10:23:52 that is, if I make a copy of the layout with another name and it fails in aapt Sep 15 10:24:21 with one layout that has the included layout it works but if there's more it breaks saying that it can't find the id Sep 15 10:25:12 Ashiren: I mean if you tap and item I want it to like, slide into another listview Sep 15 10:25:31 new activity is one way Sep 15 10:25:42 so maybe if you tap on the first one, then i want to see a listview of object.getSubItems() Sep 15 10:26:48 0daym, yep i have used parcelable before. i was just questioning the UI side of things on this one Sep 15 10:27:01 like whether fragments or activities is advisable Sep 15 10:27:11 that sort of thing Sep 15 10:30:36 in my mind i'm thinking the user taps the list item, and then that listview slides / transitions left until it's out of view and the new ListView appears Sep 15 10:44:40 What would be the best way to store an ArrayList. Not allowed to use anything over the Android java code, so cannt import gson or anything Sep 15 10:45:19 And what's inside the arraylist? Sep 15 10:45:23 And store where_ Sep 15 10:45:25 ? Sep 15 10:45:42 a bunch of Uri's Sep 15 10:45:48 On the device Sep 15 10:46:28 I suppose i could cheat and throw it into a database easily Sep 15 10:46:35 Just store them in a text file, one uri per line? Sep 15 10:46:43 Or put it in db? Or shared prefs? Or pretty much anwthere? Sep 15 10:47:46 or use ObjectOutputStream/ObjectInputStream Sep 15 10:47:56 That's horrible :) Sep 15 10:48:56 Might just cheat and put them in the database, or quickly learn writing to textfiles Sep 15 10:50:20 Does projects located in platform/external have separate subforums or is it discussed here as well? Sep 15 10:51:30 huh Sep 15 10:57:43 Ben2560: you could ask the user to kindly remember them. Isn't that an innovative idea? Tell them it's a exercise for mnemonic development and it will boost their IQ. Sep 15 11:10:46 arancio: Telling my tutor who will marking my assignment that will be entertaining haha Sep 15 11:11:06 I pretty much have everything to a HD level now, just need to add google maps into it tomorrow for the last 5% Sep 15 11:34:41 Ben2560: what's a "HD level"? Sep 15 11:37:32 Could anybody help me to understand why the RecyclerView in this Fragment is not displaying anything? http://pastebin.com/2LBf6zZQ Sep 15 11:40:41 arancio, pastebin list_item.xml Sep 15 11:40:58 and fragment_history.xml Sep 15 11:41:43 Zharf: thanks for solving my problem. Sep 15 11:41:49 o.O Sep 15 11:41:53 :D Sep 15 11:42:35 I switched to the list_item.xml tab and there was a LinearLayout without orientation. I set it to "vertical" and it fixed my problem Sep 15 11:42:41 So really thanks Sep 15 11:42:48 figures :) Sep 15 11:43:48 hi there Sep 15 11:43:49 I need to create an app that monitors, what websites user is visiting, website's referrer and time spent on each website. Sep 15 11:43:49 Could someone please guide me, how this could be achieved and where should I start looking? Tnx Sep 15 11:44:31 you can't really without being the browser itself Sep 15 11:45:08
