**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 16 03:00:03 2017 Mar 16 03:05:02 hi all Mar 16 03:06:55 for add a image(230x97) i add a imageView, and add the png or jpg image to app->src->main->res->drawable->mipmap-mdpi in the property src of imageView i dont see the image.... why? how to add this image? thanks Mar 16 03:07:48 howdy, so anyone know how uWeave is going? It's Weave for microcontrollers (like the esp8266/esp32) Mar 16 03:14:22 sirukin any advice? Mar 16 03:15:05 jak2000: sorry? Mar 16 03:15:28 I'm looking for information, I'd like to use uWeave on my esp8266 to communicate with my rpi 3 running Android Things. Mar 16 03:24:01 sirukin: no idea about uWeave, but curious about your experience around Android Things on the rpi 3. How do you like it, positive/negative? Mar 16 03:25:55 kbs: I've done precisely nothing with it other than installed it. Mar 16 03:26:03 I can connect to it via adb but that's about as far as I've gotten. Mar 16 03:26:21 :-) gotcha Mar 16 03:26:45 I'm interested in connecting it to my esp8266 which I have a temp/humidity and ambient light sensor on running off 4x AA batteries. Mar 16 03:26:52 I'd like to setup several of these. Mar 16 03:35:06 sounds like a neat project, hope you have fun getting it all working Mar 16 03:37:10 anyone know where I can find old versions of genymotion? Mar 16 05:44:05 i am facing a problem while working with textwatcher. My application requires that user can only enter one character at a time. but when a user is using swiftkey keyboard and pressing space as input, the textwatcher gets input length as the length of characters of the words which is greater then one; so my app is non functional with that keyboard; any suggestions or hints? Mar 16 06:29:40 hi all Mar 16 06:30:17 i have a variable with this value: myPassword="12345"; how to convert to a string of length=32 with a md5? Mar 16 06:37:10 jak2000: use java.security.MessageDigest? Mar 16 06:37:44 danix111 yes.... thanks Mar 16 06:38:51 Is it possible to tell if a app is running on foreground using this directory /proc/xxx/? The foreground I am talking about is in the sense that the app is running on the screen right now. Mar 16 06:51:46 is it possible to disable keyboards like swiftkey programatically just for app? Mar 16 07:11:33 Oh yeah? I have my own: I can't find a perm to allow my app to put the phone to sleep OR disable the radio Mar 16 07:32:49 damn what a useful AS plugin https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7332-android-parcelable-code-generator Mar 16 07:41:49 raoul11, what's a parcelable? Mar 16 07:42:32 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.html Mar 16 07:42:40 a good way to pass objects around Mar 16 07:42:55 probably a lot more, but thats what i mainly use it for Mar 16 07:43:54 looks like I need root for an app to enable airplane mode? Mar 16 07:43:58 why?? Mar 16 07:49:09 seems like it needs system app permission Mar 16 07:50:29 I'm not sure there's much justification for a random app being able to put the device into airplane mode Mar 16 07:51:11 it would be a huge secruity hole if it does Mar 16 07:51:24 3rd party apps shouldnt have that control Mar 16 08:16:01 im looking source for android slots machine maybe cupamobile or something with inapp Mar 16 08:16:13 source code so i can try reskin Mar 16 08:24:27 APN Mar 16 08:24:31 VPN no logs Mar 16 09:24:43 hi all Mar 16 09:24:52 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42828992/how-should-i-use-r-queries-in-an-android-studio-application-project-to-be-able-t Mar 16 09:24:55 any idea? Mar 16 09:30:53 can you explain the question again? Mar 16 09:37:36 thepoosh: how to explain this better? I tried to explain Mar 16 09:37:50 what are you trying to do? Mar 16 09:38:22 thepoosh: well, if I could change an app project into library project without the errors with the R.java queries (r.id.somethings, r.blabla...), then i would be happy Mar 16 09:39:33 thepoosh: I everytime believe that my english is good and correct, but these questions like "can you explain the question again?" realize that I'm not good in english at all Mar 16 09:40:03 well... yeah Mar 16 09:40:09 it gets better Mar 16 09:41:19 thepoosh: is the problem with the grammar? Mar 16 09:41:31 thepoosh: but let's stick with the original problem Mar 16 09:41:44 thepoosh: " well, if I could change an app project into library project without the errors with the R.java queries (r.id.somethings, r.blabla...), then i would be happy" Mar 16 09:41:44 yes, what do you want to do? Mar 16 09:41:54 that Mar 16 09:42:08 you can do that if you don't use anything Mar 16 09:42:18 In a standard library project there are no errors with R Mar 16 09:42:28 So you need to explain what errors you're getting and what you're doing Mar 16 09:43:20 If that's too much code for a stackoverflow post, maybe create a small test project on github Mar 16 09:44:08 SimonVT: I write that to you in a moment Mar 16 09:47:55 * raoul11 thepooshes thepoosh Mar 16 09:58:06 anyone know much about application permissions if you bundle the apk with a rom? Mar 16 09:58:45 I want to force permissions on, without user interactions, ideally when building the rom Mar 16 10:00:09 SimonVT: okay, so Mar 16 10:00:46 Ask the channel/stackoverflow, not me. I'm just helping you ask better questions Mar 16 10:02:28 SimonVT: I have an android app project. If I refactor-rename the project's app "folder" to library, change the build.gradle's line "com.android.application" to "com.android.library" and comment out the applicationId, it gives "error: element value most be a constant expression" on R.string.validation_not_empty lines in a java class. They worked perfectly before the modification. Mar 16 10:03:50 SimonVT: since I need a library project from this app project, I don't know what to do with those R lines Mar 16 10:04:04 did you change the root gradle file? the include :app to :library Mar 16 10:04:37 leeming: where is that? Mar 16 10:04:44 running gradle on cli also gives better errors (actually gives errors) Mar 16 10:04:56 urm lemme open up android studio Mar 16 10:05:24 leeming: settings.gradle has that line Mar 16 10:05:32 leeming: and it's include :library Mar 16 10:06:01 ah ok.. lemme see how i did it.. I have a dir called gen-libs, thus "include ':gen-libs'" Mar 16 10:06:39 i dont have android things in this library tho (no R ui stuff) Mar 16 10:07:24 but in my main app build.gradle, I have to call "compile project(':gen-libs')" to include it in the overall build Mar 16 10:09:06 leeming: and what is cli? Mar 16 10:09:12 command line Mar 16 10:09:36 leeming: and how to run gradle on cli? Mar 16 10:09:44 leeming: should I build the project with cli? Mar 16 10:09:53 something like "./gradlew assemble --stacktrace" usually gives me something to go on when the AS dialog just says "no" Mar 16 10:10:04 just something to be aware of Mar 16 10:10:29 you could probs get AS to run gradle in debug/stacktrace mode, but it was just easier for me to just run it on the cli Mar 16 10:11:07 but if you don't know what you are doing, then don't Mar 16 10:11:21 leeming: I'm not an android developer, so then I don't do that if you say so Mar 16 10:11:47 knowing how to use the command line is not an "android developer" Mar 16 10:11:48 :) Mar 16 10:12:05 should hopefully be most developers or 'IT professionals' Mar 16 10:12:06 leeming: obviously Mar 16 10:12:28 leeming: but I don't know how to give parameters to that gradlew to do that Mar 16 10:12:42 yeah, I can not help with the UI version in AS. Sorry Mar 16 10:12:58 leeming: I don't speak about the ui version Mar 16 10:13:01 it is likely to be there somewhere.. but this is just to aid debugging your problem. Didn't read the full history Mar 16 10:13:07 leeming: "./gradlew assemble --stacktrace" this doesn't involve the project name Mar 16 10:13:28 leeming: that's why I told you I don't know how to use this Mar 16 10:13:29 you run it from the project directory Mar 16 10:13:36 leeming: ohh Mar 16 10:13:42 leeming: thx, I try that Mar 16 10:13:44 gradlew is a bundled thing Mar 16 10:13:52 greyline, so if i understand correctly you want to compile a library instead of an app. nothing else, right? Mar 16 10:14:09 Syzygy: right, but it gives me errors on R things Mar 16 10:14:15 I may be leading you off tangent btw Mar 16 10:15:12 i don't think you should refactor/rename the app folder and I don't think you need to remove the applicationId Mar 16 10:15:24 Syzygy: R.string.etc, R.id.etc... R queries or R.java queries, I don't know their names Mar 16 10:15:44 Syzygy: but it was an application project :) Mar 16 10:15:54 Syzygy: and I need to have a library project from that Mar 16 10:16:15 just change the line in build.gradle that you already changed. Mar 16 10:16:21 Syzygy: for jar file generation, what would need in a Unity game engine project Mar 16 10:16:34 Syzygy: I try that Mar 16 10:17:18 I think your main problem is the renaming of the folder though. I think something went wrong there. Mar 16 10:18:44 R values are not constant in library projects. That's why you get an error when you try to use them as such Mar 16 10:20:04 SimonVT: oh Mar 16 10:20:12 SimonVT: and what to do with them? Mar 16 10:20:40 What do you mean? Mar 16 10:21:20 SimonVT: I mean I would like to be able to easily solve this error without modifying thousands of lines in the source code. Mar 16 10:21:37 SimonVT: but also be able to get a library project from this Mar 16 10:21:39 Tough luck I guess. They're not constant, can't change that Mar 16 10:22:06 SimonVT: but isn't any solution for this? Mar 16 10:22:28 Don't try to use them as constants Mar 16 10:22:49 SimonVT: how not to use them as constants? Mar 16 10:23:07 Change your code wherever you're using them as constants Mar 16 10:23:11 that depends entirely on your project. Mar 16 10:23:19 I feel like we're going in circles here, good luck Mar 16 10:23:46 SimonVT: don't say good luck, I still need your help Mar 16 10:23:54 SimonVT: I ask again in minutes Mar 16 10:27:17 SimonVT: okay, where is it defined if it's constant or not? I have this line in the res/values/strings.xml: Required field Mar 16 10:27:28 SimonVT: how to rewrite this? or where? Mar 16 10:29:20 Syzygy: "Change your code wherever you're using them as constants" I'm not android developer, I have no idea where the code says it's constant Mar 16 10:29:45 Luckily you seem to have a lot of error messages that tell you where that is the case.' Mar 16 10:30:28 Syzygy: every error message is this: "error: element value must be a constant expression" Mar 16 10:30:44 can you double click that error? Mar 16 10:30:56 Syzygy: obviously yes Mar 16 10:31:05 where does it lead you? Mar 16 10:31:09 Syzygy: "messageResId = R.string.validation_invalid_pattern" Mar 16 10:31:58 Syzygy: I already checked this out and I have no idea how to change this line Mar 16 10:32:15 can you post that class, plus a copy of your error log? Mar 16 10:35:53 Syzygy: error log means the Gradle Build window? Mar 16 10:36:29 if that's what's showing the errors, yes Mar 16 10:38:30 I made an application and now i would release an update. The new update is built with buildtool 19 while the old was compiled with buildtool 23. Am I right if i say that the user can't install the update from the playstore Mar 16 10:38:35 ? Mar 16 10:39:11 Syzygy: [11:35] http://pastebin.com/QuWg8rDa [11:35] it is just one class, it's the shortest, that's why I posted this to you [11:37] http://pastebin.com/NEr8PFQ5 [11:37] then this is the error log Mar 16 10:40:14 skin1980: All that matters is the minsdk set for the build, not the buildtool version. You will also need to sign the apk with the same keystore Mar 16 10:40:21 skin1980, as long as the version code is higher, just make sure to test it. Mar 16 10:42:21 Syzygy: version code is higher and the minsdk is ok but can't install, also while testing with android studio it says that is caused by the buildtool. The problem is that i have to use an older build tool because API 24 has a bug that ffect the popup layout of my keyboard and i was able to solve it only using the buildtool 19. Mar 16 10:43:24 greyline, in this case R.id.action_delete is used as a constant (because switch/case requires a constant there). As SimonVT mentioned earlier, the R file is not considered to contain constant values for a library project. so rather than using R.id etc, you'll need to find something else you can use. For every error you get. Mar 16 10:44:23 that might not work with item.getItemId(), so maybe use something else there? Mar 16 10:44:34 BTW i was referring to compileSdkVersion Mar 16 10:44:37 skin1980, what error do you get? Mar 16 10:44:46 Syzygy: I don't know if it's even possible or not, since I'm not an android developer Mar 16 10:45:01 Syzygy: and I don't even know what will they say for this Mar 16 10:45:10 so what are you doing here :v Mar 16 10:45:35 greyline, converting that project to a library might be beyond you then. maybe hire someone? (don't do it here, it's against the rules) Mar 16 10:45:43 Syzygy: i didn't capture the stacktrace... Mar 16 10:45:56 skin1980, try again :P Mar 16 10:46:02 yes Mar 16 10:46:05 doing now Mar 16 10:48:25 Time to talk about my own problems... In the playstore I have build version 149, while i'm currently trying to test the migration to local version 150, when uninstalling the app and downloading it from the playstore, for some reason version 150 is installed. Where could this version 150 come from? Mar 16 10:49:07 Syzygy: well, I don't want to convert this project into library, if this would need a lot of work, but we will have a new project, and that would have Unity game engine as the "surface", and for that the android java project should be in as a jar file Mar 16 10:49:15 Syzygy: and it needs to be a library Mar 16 10:49:36 * wreck_boo says hi Mar 16 10:49:57 Syzygy: I asked this for finding out how should be a project written Mar 16 10:50:06 Syzygy: for that kind of goal Mar 16 10:51:27 * wreck_boo needs to create a kernel with module suppport how do i go abt it? Mar 16 10:52:37 Syzygy: because for the android developers it would be good if they would be able to "see" what they're doing (and write "surface" for their app, maybe with this R.java resources things), but when we test that with Unity surface, it would be better if it could be easily and quickly rewritten into library project without modification of thousands of lines Mar 16 10:52:50 Syzygy: hope you understand what am I trying to describe :D Mar 16 10:53:20 I haven't done much with unity and nothing with unity for android. Try the unity channel? Mar 16 10:53:53 Syzygy: maybe Mar 16 10:54:16 Also, it seems like the wrong approach for testing (as well as for developing to be honest). You want to test the version consumers see. Mar 16 10:54:27 Syzygy: new target does not support runtime permission... that's the error. Old was 23 new one is 19 Mar 16 10:54:41 In the end I recommend that you decide if this is a unity project or an android native project. Mar 16 10:55:00 skin1980, guess you'll have to take out the runtime permissions then. Mar 16 10:56:06 How? The application is a keyboard and doesn't require any permissions Mar 16 10:57:08 Syzygy: How? The application is a keyboard and doesn't require any permissions Mar 16 10:57:18 I'm not sure, never had to deal with downgrading build tools. Have you tried version 20 to 23? they all support runtime permissions. Mar 16 10:59:42 Syzygy: unfortunately i can't. I have issue on API 24 devices that has been solved on API 25. And i'm not able to find a workaround. Mar 16 10:59:59 the only solution is tu use the sdk 19 Mar 16 11:00:08 to Mar 16 11:00:22 does the same bug exists on 20-23? Mar 16 11:00:31 nope, only on API 24 Mar 16 11:00:55 so why can't you just use 23/ Mar 16 11:00:56 Syzygy: I have an idea Mar 16 11:01:15 Syzygy: can a java android developer debug a library through an application project? Mar 16 11:01:18 because if i compile with 23 the bug persist Mar 16 11:01:25 Syzygy: because if yes, then my problem is basically solved :D Mar 16 11:01:40 greyline, they can. Mar 16 11:01:49 Syzygy: okay then :D Mar 16 11:02:11 Syzygy: since the library can stay as a library and the develop an application project for testing that library out Mar 16 11:02:19 Hi, my pc don't have jdk installed in it, then how it is possible android studio is compiling java files? Mar 16 11:02:21 Syzygy: and I can use the library without any rewriting Mar 16 11:02:32 Syzygy: and without any R things Mar 16 11:03:00 bchdb, android studio installs its own jdk. Mar 16 11:03:37 i only saw a jre in it Mar 16 11:03:43 where jdk is located? Mar 16 11:04:26 Syzygy: the bug is only on API 24 devices and only using api 19 as target it doesn't appear Mar 16 11:05:03 That sounds more like you're doing something wrong not a bug :/ Mar 16 11:05:13 And you need to run on obsolete target to workaround it. Mar 16 11:05:38 Mavrik: but why on API 19 20 21 22 23 25 device is all ok? Mar 16 11:05:52 Mavrik: only on API 24 i got that issue Mar 16 11:05:54 Blind luck? :) Mar 16 11:05:55 bchdb, it might have mislabeled it or runs off of that. I'm not exactly sure. Mar 16 11:06:13 Mavrik: lol Mar 16 11:06:39 Anyway, you can't downgrade from a version that supports runtime permissions to an older version. Mar 16 11:07:32 Mavrik: that's what i supposed, thank you for confirming this Mar 16 11:10:29 Mavrik: I try to ask, maybe i'm lucky and someone has the same issue. On my keyboard - only on API 24 devices - when i long press a key to show the popoup_layout (or also to show the preview layout) the key can't be seen outside the keyboard. Mar 16 11:12:50 http://imgur.com/a/veRvx this is the bug Mar 16 11:29:16 hi all Mar 16 11:29:36 is there a Z-Index for items in a layout - like a BRING to front ?? Mar 16 11:29:47 fels no. Mar 16 11:30:54 That's either done via hierarchy (deeper means on top) or for layouts that allow overlap, the one who's defined lower in the file is on top. Mar 16 11:31:19 well the View has bringToFront Mar 16 11:31:41 but generally its done by layout, i.e. in FrameLayout Views attached later are more in front Mar 16 11:34:52 Syzygy: thank you - I thnik I know what you mean :) Mar 16 11:34:56 Ashiren: thanks Mar 16 11:35:33 actually, there might be some new (=years old) magic you could do with elevation, but I'm not aware of that. Mar 16 12:00:00 I have some issues sharing accountmanager across keystores. anyone with experience in that area? Described it in a post:https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/5zk2z8/implementing_an_accounttype_shared_between_apps/ Mar 16 12:16:35 Hi all. If you have an android library module, how can you specify 'aar' as artifacts for that module? Mar 16 12:17:12 Currently I build it on a jenkins server and I want to push the .aar files to an artifactory Mar 16 12:18:19 artifactory setup inside the module-gradle file Mar 16 12:18:57 artifactory { publish { defaults { publications('aar') Mar 16 12:19:22 check this http://jeroenmols.com/blog/2015/08/06/artifactory/ Mar 16 12:19:46 and https://www.spacecowboyrocketcompany.com/divide-and-conquer-your-android-modules-with-artifactory/ Mar 16 12:19:46 :) Mar 16 12:24:51 Î have an issue where all classes from a library are displayed as missing by android studio. I can still execute the app, but I can not debug the library methods Mar 16 12:25:21 Or execute them in the watches field' Mar 16 12:26:05 hmm, i guessed restarting AS worked. Mar 16 12:33:24 Troffel, thanks! Mar 16 12:41:16 Hey, I've got a list view that I want to populate using a ListActivity, however I can't seem to figure out how to hook them up together Mar 16 12:41:35 My listview has the Android:id/list Id and the ListActivity sets the adapter Mar 16 12:41:44 Is there anything I'm missing? Mar 16 12:43:40 no clue, show code Mar 16 12:44:03 maybe you're missing data? :) Mar 16 12:44:58 Zharf, https://hastebin.com/ukaxuyidic.scala Mar 16 12:46:38 your listview size is 0 Mar 16 12:47:06 Troffel, The settings of the artifact (url - username - password) is in the gradle file but I want the jenkins server be the one who decides this. Is this possible without creating a gradle task to upload it? Mar 16 12:47:25 Zharf, I've literally set it to match_parent 3 times Mar 16 12:47:43 you're also not setting the content view Mar 16 12:47:58 setContentView(R.layout.whatever_your_layout_file_is) Mar 16 12:48:11 after super.onCreate Mar 16 12:48:52 As you might've noticed, I've got no clue what I'm doing Mar 16 12:48:56 :) Mar 16 12:49:01 I've done both of them and still not showing anything Mar 16 12:49:21 did you try removing the constraintlayout Mar 16 12:49:45 I don't think it should affect things but start from the simplest form Mar 16 12:51:36 Done that, still nothing Mar 16 12:54:54 https://hastebin.com/aconibonig.scala if this doesn't work, then... I need to see more Mar 16 12:57:42 Zharf, this is my content_main.xml atm https://hastebin.com/vorogoneca.xml Mar 16 12:58:01 https://hastebin.com/idipitemaj.js Mar 16 12:58:11 And that is my onCreate function Mar 16 13:00:58 I take it you don't have any other activities? Mar 16 13:01:55 I used the basic activity template from Android Studio, so I think I do Mar 16 13:04:53 Zharf, would you like me to send my whole project? Mar 16 13:05:18 that could work Mar 16 13:06:09 just don't include the build directories like the last guy... Mar 16 13:06:10 :p Mar 16 13:06:20 hello, how can I insert my own local jar in place of a library dependency in Android Studio? When I manually add it in Project Structure, I get ¨AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"Error converting bytecode to dex:\nCause: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define ...;","sources":[{}],"original":"UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:\ncom.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define ...¨ Mar 16 13:08:37 tmladek, did you try to use the module property window? then you can use "add jar dependency" Mar 16 13:09:04 yes, that is what led to the error Mar 16 13:09:23 tmladek, typically you have "compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])" in your build.gradle and you just put your jars in the libs dir Mar 16 13:09:35 Zharf: if I do that, I get the error Mar 16 13:10:56 well specifically, I did both (put it in libs, and added it in module properties), but if I hadn´t done that, it used the repository version instead Mar 16 13:11:49 Remove the original from your dependencies, or exclude from whatever has it as a transitive dependency Mar 16 13:12:19 https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sub:exclude_transitive_dependencies Mar 16 13:18:27 SimonVT: yup, this worked, thanks! Mar 16 13:56:05 Hey guys, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I can't get an App I'm developing approved due to alleged copyright infringements. I have all the required paperwork and already submitted it to Google but have neither received the promised acknowledgement nor any answer in five days Mar 16 13:56:12 Does anyone know: Mar 16 13:56:37 How I could contact a developer helpdesk by phone? Mar 16 13:58:23 someone accused you of infringement? or you tried to publish and Google blocked you? Mar 16 14:02:11 google rejected my beta version Mar 16 14:03:30 there's "live chat" in the google play developer console help menu... I think that might be the closest to a telephone Mar 16 14:03:38 Thrusting, what do you mean by "required paperwork" and where is the infringements (screenshots?) Mar 16 14:04:41 did u file an appeal Thrusting ? Mar 16 14:04:46 https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/2477981?hl=en Mar 16 14:05:44 they will let you know which part of your app violates their tos Mar 16 14:05:47 raoul11 yes, I did file the appeal Mar 16 14:05:53 no response? Mar 16 14:06:03 that's what I meant with "submitting the required paperwork" Mar 16 14:06:22 not even the promised "case number" once I submitted Mar 16 14:07:00 you should get an immediate email with your appeal number Mar 16 14:07:01 ... Mar 16 14:07:08 Zharf, where excatly would i find this live-chat? Mar 16 14:07:19 and 2-3 days after, ull get a response Mar 16 14:07:56 filing an apeal if you're not able to know where the infrigment is will lock you down for ever Mar 16 14:08:09 adq we are developing an app in cooperation with another brand. The whole branding of the app is by the other party so the "infringement" will be logo, videos, content. Basically everything Mar 16 14:08:55 if you didn't receive a confirmation from the appeal pretty much immediately, it probably failed to go through Mar 16 14:08:58 right, then the required paperwork would be a proof from this another brand that you're allowed to use their stuff Mar 16 14:09:49 still, that does not tell us what you infringed, also i thought infrigement was not automatically detected Mar 16 14:10:03 meaning, someone would have to complain/fill a complaint Mar 16 14:10:09 no Mar 16 14:10:15 they have some automation Mar 16 14:10:19 it could happen automatically, and in Thrusting case Mar 16 14:10:31 since its in beta, this is probably an asset thats already cached Mar 16 14:11:00 hmmm ok Mar 16 14:11:03 i had a violation with one of the icons in my SS resembling the play store icon Mar 16 14:11:15 took 3 emails back and forth for them to tell me about it Mar 16 14:11:47 man i had my account suspended.. Mar 16 14:11:53 took social pressure to get it reinstated Mar 16 14:12:13 when I first released my application it went through fine, a few years later when I was doing some update it didn't let it through because one of the screenshots I had submitted *originally* contained an album art Mar 16 14:12:14 because after appeal is rejected, it goes to /dev/null Mar 16 14:12:27 yeah Mar 16 14:12:49 its a bitch dealing with them, iv had better encounters with police who raided my house for drugs Mar 16 14:12:52 original copy from the rejection email: "and had to reject it because of an unauthorized use of copyrighted content in your promotional screenshots" Mar 16 14:12:54 yeah Zharf, many of us had this issue i believe Mar 16 14:13:01 my first app suspended was because of a screenshot too.. Mar 16 14:13:14 but it was like in 2012 Mar 16 14:13:33 Thrusting if you didnt recieve a response email for your appeal, as Zharf said it probably didnt go through Mar 16 14:13:36 it wasn't a suspension though, just update rejection Mar 16 14:13:40 Thrusting, what do you mean by "required paperwork" and where is the infringements (screenshots?) Mar 16 14:13:41 ^^ Mar 16 14:13:45 this is why i asked that earlier Mar 16 14:13:48 it's a common issue Mar 16 14:13:48 mine was also update rejection Mar 16 14:14:01 so clearly its auto tracking Mar 16 14:14:27 i've got a policy violation on a suspended app in the dev console since monthes Mar 16 14:14:34 i contacted the support since i could not fix that lol Mar 16 14:14:39 they never answered Mar 16 14:14:43 what did u do /: Mar 16 14:14:47 re-tried like few monthes later, no reply Mar 16 14:14:51 i think they cannot fix it Mar 16 14:14:58 raoul11, i told you Mar 16 14:15:04 screenshot boom Mar 16 14:15:14 adq http://i.imgur.com/5bi1ZtS.png Mar 16 14:15:15 but now i always have this alert in the dev console Mar 16 14:15:18 it's really annoying Mar 16 14:15:25 iv got this for years, on about 7 apps i already unpublished Mar 16 14:15:27 yep this one raoul11 Mar 16 14:15:31 exactly this one! Mar 16 14:15:36 adq we now have a signed "authorization letter" from our partner authorizing us to use their brand, logo and video content Mar 16 14:15:38 i donno what they want me to do Mar 16 14:15:48 i already unpublished them years ago Mar 16 14:16:03 you need to fix them, publish them, then unpublishe them Mar 16 14:16:11 but in my case, because the app is suspended, i cannot fix it Mar 16 14:16:13 lol Mar 16 14:16:15 not even update the store listing Mar 16 14:16:29 classic Mar 16 14:16:31 Thrusting, yeah well, except the support/chat in dev console Mar 16 14:16:42 i dont think i even remmeber why i put those apps keys Mar 16 14:16:45 i could only recommand you to try to reach them via one of the android developers community in g+ Mar 16 14:16:47 or maybe twitter Mar 16 14:16:56 it's a known issue since years that it's not easy to reach them Mar 16 14:17:02 because obviously, they don't want to be reach Mar 16 14:17:02 I unpublished a game that kept getting warnings about cordova security issues, didn't bother updating and pretty much no one was using it anyway Mar 16 14:17:10 now I don't get the warnings about it anymore Mar 16 14:17:42 http://i.imgur.com/irgby8c.png Mar 16 14:17:46 So how do I find the chat? Mar 16 14:17:49 they'll never go away... Mar 16 14:18:12 raoul11, http://imgur.com/a/4b7ZP :') Mar 16 14:18:24 Thrusting, developer console, top right corner, question mark, second from the bottom in that window it opens Mar 16 14:18:43 haha Mar 16 14:18:55 In order to include a map in my app do I need an API key? Mar 16 14:18:55 it had good ratings Mar 16 14:18:58 RIP Mar 16 14:19:30 dougquaid, do you even read documentation? Mar 16 14:19:36 because the answer is straightforward if you do Mar 16 14:19:50 "To use the Google Maps Android API, you must register your app project on the Google API Console and get a Google API key which you can add to your app. Note: There are various types of restrictions for API keys. You need an API key with restriction for Android apps (not a browser-restricted key)." Mar 16 14:19:50 indeed Mar 16 14:20:06 how developers are surviving without reading doc Mar 16 14:20:08 is a mystery to me Mar 16 14:20:10 make sure to check rate limits Mar 16 14:20:24 coz maps is a money pit Mar 16 14:20:29 http://imgur.com/a/o29XO Mar 16 14:20:30 alongside autocomplete Mar 16 14:20:51 maybe switch to english, Thrusting Mar 16 14:20:59 http://imgur.com/a/Xcmsv < Mar 16 14:21:06 alles gut Mar 16 14:21:37 shprichst du deutsch adq ?

It just got published :D:D Mar 16 14:24:11 well i'm french, i can imagine Mar 16 14:24:27 even for us, sometimes/often it can be difficult to be just grammatically correct Mar 16 14:24:33 but ppl don't care Mar 16 14:24:53 Thrusting, well contact us with your proof from the partner brand anyway Mar 16 14:25:07 you never know what could happen Mar 16 14:25:30 the google play rollercoaster of fun Mar 16 14:28:08 adq well they must have received the appeals otherwise why would they approve a new version where nothing was changed Mar 16 14:28:25 let's hope Mar 16 14:28:29 maybe if they didn't check it correctly. Mar 16 14:28:31 anyway, good if your issue is resolved Mar 16 14:31:48 Thrusting, automation possibly missed it Mar 16 14:33:16 yep Mar 16 14:34:03 SimonVT: so should we get rid of nslu2-log or not Mar 16 14:34:11 it seems to be back Mar 16 14:35:09 Yeah, just do it Mar 16 14:35:51 hi - HOw do you keep layouts scaling properly to different screen sizes ... position of buttons and size of images. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Mar 16 14:36:12 2017
