**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jun 13 02:59:56 2010 Jun 13 03:07:48 alright cool I thought I was alone in feeling the app selection was a bit weak Jun 13 03:08:00 rols, lets make apps together Jun 13 03:25:18 that's ,y area of expertise Jun 13 03:25:29 not* Jun 13 03:37:43 hi all Jun 13 03:40:05 rolsworth: They aren't hard to do Jun 13 03:40:25 rolsworth: I had no experience doing any programming before starting with WebOS Jun 13 03:41:53 i am sure you at least knew something about html, java or whatever unless you made something extremely basic Jun 13 03:42:06 Nothing Jun 13 03:42:57 It's not my day job, I have no formal training in it, no education in it. Jun 13 03:43:10 me too Jun 13 03:44:10 what app did you release Jun 13 03:44:21 RadioTime Jun 13 03:44:48 so how exactly did you figure out hot to create that app Jun 13 03:44:52 how Jun 13 03:45:04 http://tigercountrysoftware.com/ Jun 13 03:45:15 Read the forums Jun 13 03:45:38 read http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp Jun 13 03:45:47 Yeah, that helped a lot as well Jun 13 03:45:50 and CSS and HTML Jun 13 03:45:55 And XML Jun 13 03:46:19 come here and ask questions Jun 13 03:46:30 read frank zammetti's book Jun 13 03:46:39 most of all, just do it Jun 13 03:46:45 if i had the time. job takes up too much Jun 13 03:46:50 Yep. A lot of trial and error Jun 13 03:47:15 it becomes addicting... Jun 13 03:47:17 * haeffb works 50-60 hrs per week at my day job Jun 13 03:47:24 rolsworth: Come on. I'm an MD/PhD. I run a research laboratory at Emory University and work for the CDC. Jun 13 03:47:27 writes code some nights, weekends Jun 13 03:47:46 You can sit there and complain about not having any time, that's an excuse to complain. Jun 13 03:48:03 also not too interested in it Jun 13 03:48:13 okkkkkk Jun 13 03:48:17 * haeffb spent the day riding aound with the wife (real estate agent) showing property. Laptop plugged into the 12V DC outlet, writing code... Jun 13 03:48:30 Alright then. Nothing to complain about then. Jun 13 03:48:33 i do accounting/auditing work like 12 hours a day Jun 13 03:48:37 "quality time" Jun 13 03:48:56 got to spend time with the wife Jun 13 03:49:28 haeffb...I think i'm ready to try my first Join in the dB Jun 13 03:49:38 woohoo! Jun 13 03:49:50 hey, did you do a reorderable list in debtfree? Jun 13 03:50:07 no but i did do something kinda cool one sec i'll send you the app Jun 13 03:50:29 rolsworth: Let's just put it this way. If I wanted to, I could live quite comfortably off of the income generated by RadioTime. Jun 13 03:51:19 k haeffb it's in the mail. Jun 13 03:51:32 I made a summary screen from the list. Jun 13 03:54:01 got it. Jun 13 03:54:22 ok do a calc, then hit save from command menu Jun 13 03:54:32 after saving select view from command menu Jun 13 03:54:51 you get the list...tap on the item...you'll get a summary Jun 13 03:56:31 something broken Jun 13 03:56:40 ? Jun 13 03:57:00 what's wrong Jun 13 03:57:51 deleted & reinstalled = now it's working Jun 13 03:58:09 oh yeah sorry Jun 13 03:58:18 nice! Jun 13 03:58:22 you like it? Jun 13 03:58:49 yep, that's really sweet. Jun 13 03:59:01 i'm so happy you like it Jun 13 03:59:58 here's a suggestion, though. Jun 13 04:00:02 kk Jun 13 04:00:17 Make the "View Saved Credit Cards" the opening scene. Jun 13 04:00:26 really? Jun 13 04:00:38 I would. Jun 13 04:00:58 but everythings generated off the calculator Jun 13 04:01:27 It would mean changing a bunch... ? Jun 13 04:01:35 no not at all Jun 13 04:01:55 and/or if they don't have any cards, i.e. first use, open to the enter data screen Jun 13 04:02:06 ok that makes sense Jun 13 04:02:14 but then after that, open to the saved cards scene Jun 13 04:02:23 so I have a "wallet" full of "cards" Jun 13 04:02:30 good idea Jun 13 04:03:27 i'm ready to put a 'catagory' list in the saved data card this way i can play with joins in the dB Jun 13 04:03:31 your "Add a Card" dialog replaces the original scene Jun 13 04:03:52 Yeah i can see that Jun 13 04:04:50 ok, now that I have you thinking... I'm off to bed. later. Jun 13 04:05:08 nite Jun 13 04:11:06 RadioTime is about to get custom streams... Jun 13 04:19:55 reality9110: custom streams, like amatuer radio? Jun 13 04:23:23 wait what Jun 13 04:23:25 you made radiotime? Jun 13 04:24:32 reality9110: has the exclusive right for radiotime on webos devices, if not mistaken Jun 13 04:30:16 Yes. I made radiotime Jun 13 04:31:10 what are the custom feeds like? Jun 13 04:31:43 Entering of any stream you want manually. Jun 13 04:32:19 thats really cool Jun 13 04:32:20 If there is a station out there that RadioTime doesn't carry, you'll be able to play it. Well, as long as WebOS supports it audio-wise. Jun 13 04:32:40 like a shoutcast feed Jun 13 04:32:51 Well, we carry most shoutcast feeds already Jun 13 04:33:04 k Jun 13 04:33:06 The ones listed on SHOUTcast.com at least. Jun 13 04:33:17 But if there's a private one out there that you listen to, you'll be able to add it. Jun 13 04:34:21 cool Jun 13 04:34:30 I did something similar in BroadCAST Radio. So, just reusing the code Jun 13 04:34:50 i use the shoutcast api in one of my apps Jun 13 04:35:10 sounds like a cool feature Jun 13 04:35:12 Kind of a pain merging a local database and the remote database into one list, but, I got it. Jun 13 04:37:23 listening to internet radio know, radio.com Jun 13 04:38:49 That's just AOL Radio Jun 13 04:39:16 teah Jun 13 04:39:20 yeah Jun 13 04:39:41 http://radiotime.com/ Much better Jun 13 04:40:20 yeah will check it our Jun 13 04:42:06 If HP adds WMA and mms support, that'll basically mean every single station in the world with the exception of a few flash streams Jun 13 04:44:17 killer Jun 13 04:46:19 reality9110: what is best programming language to write in? Jun 13 04:48:16 excited for the germany australia game tommorrow, should be a good one Jun 13 04:48:32 LoneStar99: For what? Jun 13 04:48:45 World cup Jun 13 04:48:50 No, programming language Jun 13 04:49:21 Best programming language for what? Jun 13 04:49:22 I think bets programming language definitely depends on the setting. Jun 13 04:49:27 best*... Jun 13 04:49:54 oh language, like your favorite to code? Jun 13 04:50:19 I'm not a coder. Jun 13 04:50:25 So you're asking the wrong person Jun 13 04:50:57 * HattCzech agrees with Tibfib Jun 13 04:52:23 guess it was a dumb question, just it all depends on what a person is trying to code and on what device or OS Jun 13 04:54:37 LoneStar99: i've used c, c++, c#, javascript, asp, php, and sql in my many projects Jun 13 04:54:59 i started with c (and the variants), so i'm more familiar with those Jun 13 04:55:11 but i like javascript quite a bit... allows me a lot of flexibility Jun 13 04:55:59 the best programming language is Verilog :) Jun 13 04:56:05 HattCzech: have you ddone any PDK coding yet? Jun 13 04:56:13 i started with js - not sure that was a good idea - c, c# looks very foreign Jun 13 04:56:25 haven't yet Jun 13 04:56:41 i'm trying to start working on a service, though, so i was considering using pdk Jun 13 04:56:50 got interested in javascript when ajax came about Jun 13 04:56:55 but i think in my situation, the service is what i need, so pdk will need to wait Jun 13 04:57:18 service as in web service? Jun 13 04:57:27 javascript just looks like "another" programming language to me :) Jun 13 04:57:42 they all look the same to me now (for the most part) Jun 13 04:58:04 a webos system service, like what's used for preware and those apps Jun 13 04:58:08 what're some of the popular pdk apps out right now? Jun 13 04:58:18 * Tibfib points at ea's games Jun 13 04:58:20 have noticed that php and js have many similarities Jun 13 04:58:58 HattCzech: got you, waiting for microphone api in webos Jun 13 04:59:00 so the 3d stuff Jun 13 04:59:09 yeah, php started frustrating me a bit when i was playing with arrays and stuff, but i finally got that kinda figured out :) Jun 13 04:59:17 BigBiff: so far mostly games Jun 13 04:59:26 BigBiff: the only pdk apps out now AFAIK are games Jun 13 04:59:34 i c Jun 13 04:59:45 Eventually we might get some that aren't Jun 13 04:59:59 was wondering what else would need those systems Jun 13 05:00:18 thinking of building a PDK app, that is not a game, but have no idea yet Jun 13 05:00:27 big calculations...codeslaw is porting his paintr app... Jun 13 05:00:40 ahh - that makes sense Jun 13 05:01:07 so if someone ever made a decent starmap... Jun 13 05:01:16 that would probly be pdk Jun 13 05:01:38 * BigBiff really likes droid starmap Jun 13 05:01:46 it would probably have to be at least a hybrid Jun 13 05:01:54 ...well i'm off. night all Jun 13 05:02:05 latr Tibfib Jun 13 05:02:34 * BigBiff nudges rwhitby to add a compass to pre Jun 13 05:02:50 one of his many.. Jun 13 05:03:03 BigBiff: I'll get out my soldering iron right now ... Jun 13 05:03:07 hehe Jun 13 05:03:10 lol Jun 13 05:03:21 but why stop at a compass. I'll put a six axis gyro in there Jun 13 05:03:27 and a pressure sensor too Jun 13 05:03:29 well sure Jun 13 05:03:40 maybe even a squib, just for laughs Jun 13 05:03:45 haha Jun 13 05:03:47 you have no idea how many times ive thought " Jun 13 05:03:52 wow i need a gyroscope" Jun 13 05:03:58 and a robotic arm that can plug the oil leak Jun 13 05:04:24 shake your Pre too aggressively, and the squib will be fired Jun 13 05:04:34 i like it Jun 13 05:05:08 rwhitby: i hate to keep bothering you, but i need a bit of help with the services for webos... Jun 13 05:05:17 * rwhitby is waiting for the squib in appInstallService to go off, with the abuse I'm inflicting on it at the moment Jun 13 05:05:28 i want to make something very basic... so i'm trying to find something with the minimum number of files Jun 13 05:05:33 HattCzech: which of the existing services have you perused in detail? Jun 13 05:05:55 upstartmgr, govnah, and freetetherd Jun 13 05:06:18 look at saverestore, it's the simplest. all it does is list directories and call scripts Jun 13 05:06:31 okay Jun 13 05:08:13 * rwhitby got the App Catalog client to install Preware for him last night :) Jun 13 05:09:19 how? Jun 13 05:11:00 added a preware.org CA and inserted a record in installHistory.db, then restarted LunaDownloadMgr Jun 13 05:11:29 heheh, nice Jun 13 05:12:14 going to get MetaDoctor to do it on flash, so Preware can be automatically installed on first boot. Jun 13 05:12:25 awesome Jun 13 05:12:39 rwhitby: is there why to build an ipgk using the "palm-package" utility from an external program not being eclipse or komodo? Jun 13 05:13:02 LoneStar99: sure, just call the script Jun 13 05:13:16 palm-package is just a command line tool Jun 13 05:13:31 on a unix system? Jun 13 05:13:32 call it with the proper args and it'll work fine Jun 13 05:13:44 assuming there is one for unix, yes Jun 13 05:13:50 (i'm on windows, so i'm not sure) Jun 13 05:14:40 there is a palm-package.jar file i believe for linux development Jun 13 05:14:44 palm-package is just a script which calls a jar file Jun 13 05:15:02 what would be the proper arguments? Jun 13 05:15:15 LoneStar99: have you read the Palm documentation on it? Jun 13 05:15:53 is there some proper docs on it? Jun 13 05:16:02 "Usage: palm-package [OPTION...] APP_DIR" for starerts Jun 13 05:16:06 starters* Jun 13 05:16:33 HattCzech: do you have a link? Jun 13 05:17:06 LoneStar99: you write a search app, don't you? Jun 13 05:17:18 yeah, i do Jun 13 05:17:26 http://webos.pastebin.com/LMBFWKsU Jun 13 05:17:43 i think that was a hint :) hahaha Jun 13 05:18:05 that's the output when i run it from the command line Jun 13 05:18:09 LoneStar99: try typing "palm-package" into it, assuming it accesses google ... Jun 13 05:19:27 ok found it, but guess what i am trying to figure out, is how to make it into a webservice Jun 13 05:19:30 rwhitby: so luna_methods.c is where i'm looking for the main content, right? Jun 13 05:19:38 HattCzech: yep Jun 13 05:19:49 the rest of the files are pretty much boilerplate Jun 13 05:20:11 so 500 lines is the simple one, eh? ;) Jun 13 05:22:13 rwhitby: for example Ares is web-based so how do you assume it builds the ipkg. just need some opinions Jun 13 05:22:42 LoneStar99: I assume they just call the jar file on the server or on the local client Jun 13 05:24:11 so a .sh script properly formed on a java server calls the "palm-package.jar" file and it should work, is that right? Jun 13 05:32:24 sent an email to palm regarding what I have been developing, and they pretty much wrote "Packaging really needs to go through palm-package" Jun 13 05:33:46 but i may be clouded in the mind to figure way of calling the "palm-package" from a script Jun 13 05:38:24 rwhitby: who wrote the service interface for govnah? was it you or oil? Jun 13 05:41:57 HattCzech: I did the services for preware, govnah, and saverestore Jun 13 05:42:42 okay Jun 13 05:43:01 if i create a service, can i still have it running when the app closes? Jun 13 05:43:22 since it's separate, as long as i don't close it manually, it should still run, correct? Jun 13 05:43:35 (until a restart or a call to close it) Jun 13 06:09:48 HattCzech: did you find a solution? Jun 13 06:12:51 nope Jun 13 06:13:05 services look more difficult than i anticipated :/ Jun 13 06:14:13 have not looked at those services,but i assume they are intense Jun 13 06:14:24 indeed they are Jun 13 06:14:49 and all i want to do is call some palm services :/ Jun 13 06:15:17 non api services i assume? Jun 13 06:16:06 yup Jun 13 06:16:27 well, they're palm-space api services Jun 13 06:16:41 but i need them to be in the background, so i need them to be from a service Jun 13 06:17:44 k, what is easy for one is nuts to the other Jun 13 06:18:09 it's nuts to me :) hehe Jun 13 06:18:13 HattCzech: all the webosinternals services run continuously, under control of upstart Jun 13 06:18:28 okay, good Jun 13 06:18:34 they sit there at select() waiting for a dbus call most of the time Jun 13 06:18:52 a tiny bit of RAM overhead, no CPU overhead. Jun 13 06:19:05 i'm fine with that Jun 13 06:19:32 kudos for making these services Jun 13 06:20:22 they're much more complicated than i would like them to be :) Jun 13 06:28:58 bleh Jun 13 06:29:14 debating wether to spend 100 on a sub for my car Jun 13 06:29:37 I mean, its a 100 sub… but its better than nothing, which is what I have now Jun 13 06:30:44 But its also a 100 sub.... Jun 13 06:31:03 anyone played with godmode in win7? Jun 13 06:31:13 But a 100 sub that fits under my seat Jun 13 06:31:19 DECISIONS Jun 13 06:32:11 subs are meh Jun 13 06:32:24 my car has none Jun 13 06:32:34 quality speakers will make more of a difference Jun 13 06:32:39 Have those Jun 13 06:33:00 but do you have ground effects lights? Jun 13 06:33:04 HattCzech: have had godmode installed for months, but have not messed with it, all it seems like the ultimate control panel Jun 13 06:33:16 but no sub, so they don't do anything in the low end when turned up Jun 13 06:33:24 can you remove the tag at the end of the folder? Jun 13 06:33:39 "rename folder to godmode.{...}" Jun 13 06:33:39 halfhalo: if you can't sleep at nights thinking of the 100 sub, then buy it Jun 13 06:33:59 but that whole section of crap is visible and really annoying Jun 13 06:34:08 HattCzech: no clus Jun 13 06:34:08 well, I mean I just started looking 20 minutes ago Jun 13 06:34:10 :p Jun 13 06:34:19 buy it Jun 13 06:34:26 that requires money Jun 13 06:34:34 which I wont have till tuesday Jun 13 06:34:36 or wed Jun 13 06:34:41 or maybe fraturday Jun 13 06:34:46 lol Jun 13 06:35:05 then wait until tuesday+ Jun 13 06:35:37 but its a powered rca sub that will fit under my drivers seat and gets routed up pretty nicely to the stereo Jun 13 06:36:43 do not trust windows enough to screw with godmode Jun 13 06:36:58 halfhalo: buy it Jun 13 06:37:07 =) Jun 13 06:37:17 I am… maybe… depends on the power situation Jun 13 06:37:28 the consumer devil says so Jun 13 06:37:47 consumer devil's got nothing on my impulsiveness Jun 13 06:39:05 impulsiveness is the devil, but what is not Jun 13 06:39:11 crack Jun 13 06:39:17 its the devils cousin Jun 13 06:39:32 or crystal meth Jun 13 06:39:44 another cousin Jun 13 07:07:45 alright GN all Jun 13 07:12:25 hrm. so anyone gotten around to making one of these apps that lets you remotely take control of your phone and lock the screen, or display messages, and get its gps coordinates, etc ?

Jun 13 14:41:23 haeffb , thanks Jun 13 14:42:19 I'd like to see someone post some code for a basic dial ui Jun 13 14:45:08 I know it's not part of the palm look, but it would be cool nonetheless Jun 13 14:46:23 "basic dial ui" ??? Jun 13 14:46:50 like many of the apple apps Jun 13 14:47:46 drag a dial around as a selector Jun 13 14:48:09 drag on a dial I should say Jun 13 14:48:15 * haeffb doesn't know apple apps Jun 13 14:48:59 apple's got so many apps Jun 13 14:49:07 I guess that's why they call them APPle HOHOHOHO Jun 13 14:49:28 picture manually moving the hand on a clock Jun 13 14:54:36 palm probably couldn't make their own as a widget due to patent Jun 13 14:55:10 god, patented widgets? Jun 13 14:55:28 when will the madness stop Jun 13 15:45:28 bigbiff_pre: custom widgets should be possible Jun 13 15:46:08 ya.. I just don't have skills for a dial widget :-) Jun 13 15:51:04 something like the apple date/number picker? Jun 13 15:52:01 I can't think of what that looks like Jun 13 15:52:42 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388814/date-picker-for-iphone-web-application Jun 13 15:53:07 and Jun 13 15:53:08 http://cubiq.org/spinning-wheel-on-webkit-for-iphone-ipod-touch Jun 13 15:53:56 oh Jun 13 15:54:14 no... that's just a scroller with fades Jun 13 15:54:44 I'm thinking like a draggable compass hand Jun 13 15:55:03 hmm Jun 13 15:55:08 i've seen a phone dialer app Jun 13 15:55:11 rotary phone Jun 13 15:55:15 360 degree dragging would be tough Jun 13 15:55:19 really? Jun 13 15:55:21 yeah Jun 13 15:55:43 http://dolphinking-software.com/wordpress/tag/rotary-dialer/ Jun 13 15:56:24 http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4046&view=next Jun 13 15:56:49 ya.. I'd love to see that code Jun 13 16:04:53 if you asked dolphinking he might share... Jun 13 16:05:24 I know that he open source'd cow tasks when he moved to android Jun 13 16:05:25 or get an idea if you look at the clock app Jun 13 16:09:06 he not doing webos anymore? Jun 13 16:17:07 I don't think so. Jun 13 16:17:17 @dullgeek yeah, I am done. I did love the palm pre, but things were just moving too slow at the time. Android on Nexus One FTW!

Jun 13 17:05:24 i=you Jun 13 17:06:26 not even close Jun 13 17:06:46 evo has no gyroscope.... not sure how one could survive with no gyro Jun 13 17:07:58 I mean in these crazy times of oil spills and terrorism Jun 13 17:08:01 is ... that a joke? ;x Jun 13 17:08:06 ah, yes Jun 13 17:08:11 my sarcasm detector is off today Jun 13 17:08:18 I blame this cold. Jun 13 17:08:18 hehe Jun 13 17:10:37 but after I heard an apple iphone call the new model 'stunning' in complete seriousness it's also making it harder to judge sarcasm Jun 13 17:10:42 err Jun 13 17:10:44 apple fanboy* Jun 13 17:12:21 It actually does look pretty killer Jun 13 17:12:39 it's a nice upgrade over the previous, but 'stunning?' that's - a bit much. Jun 13 17:15:27 I have apple envy only for a few apps: Jun 13 17:16:14 I have hardware envy of the evo, hdmi output from a portable media device like a cell phone is something I've always wanted Jun 13 17:16:24 tuner, a few other mic related apps, and computer remote interface is sposed to work well Jun 13 17:16:58 ya, hdmi out is cool, but I'd never use it Jun 13 17:20:13 when tv's start coming standard with wifi, there won't be a need Jun 13 17:20:46 no, because now you're reliant on yet another device to actually handle all the codecs and containers Jun 13 17:20:49 ;x Jun 13 17:21:15 heh, I can always hope Jun 13 17:22:07 although dtv computer media thing is cool Jun 13 17:39:08 * sugardave is not leaving. Jun 13 17:39:44 in fact, I have a good shot at doing a freelance app for some dude Jun 13 17:53:45 Do you know handleKeyPressEvent: function(event) { ? Jun 13 17:58:13 nope, but it sounds interesting Jun 13 17:59:23 Dammit Jun 13 17:59:34 I need to know what keys are pressed on the keyboard Jun 13 17:59:54 HotDP: did you do what I suggested earlier? Jun 13 18:00:02 Yes Jun 13 18:00:06 I am close Jun 13 18:00:14 The event is fired Jun 13 18:00:23 this shouldn't be difficult to achieve, I think Jun 13 18:00:34 But i need to know what key is pressed Jun 13 18:00:40 event.keyCode Jun 13 18:00:42 but event.originalEvent.keyCode does not work? type does Jun 13 18:02:01 haeffb , that works! Jun 13 18:02:07 But i only get a number? Jun 13 18:02:33 that would be Unicode or ASCII value of the "key Jun 13 18:02:36 " I guess Jun 13 18:02:41 ? Jun 13 18:03:04 * sugardave is making shit up as he goes along. Jun 13 18:03:08 it's my thing Jun 13 18:03:33 nice work, sugardave Jun 13 18:03:59 But what if i hold down "shit" it is the same keycode? Jun 13 18:04:09 lol Jun 13 18:04:12 "shift" even Jun 13 18:04:21 I am holding shit down around here as we speak Jun 13 18:04:26 http://www.asciitable.com/ Jun 13 18:04:30 no, it shouldn't be the same key code Jun 13 18:04:51 it is? Jun 13 18:04:56 on emulator Jun 13 18:04:56 hmm Jun 13 18:05:03 maybe I don't understand how ascii works Jun 13 18:05:58 0x41 should be A and 0x61 should be a Jun 13 18:06:09 its 61 here no matter what Jun 13 18:06:20 interesting Jun 13 18:06:39 are you in a textField? Jun 13 18:07:45 no Jun 13 18:10:36 is it the emulator that fails? or Jun 13 18:11:48 seems like maybe webOS is converting everything to lowercase Jun 13 18:11:50 ??? Jun 13 18:12:08 anyone know the css style for a checked checkbox? Jun 13 18:12:19 .selected? Jun 13 18:12:21 .selected doesn't seem to work... Jun 13 18:12:23 guessing Jun 13 18:12:25 oh Jun 13 18:12:25 neither does .checked Jun 13 18:12:26 heh Jun 13 18:12:32 but excellet guess :) Jun 13 18:12:39 excellent*, even Jun 13 18:12:56 haeffb that sounds kind of crappy? Jun 13 18:13:10 But it works on the phone? Jun 13 18:13:28 .itHasCheck should work Jun 13 18:13:37 I dunno if it works on phone or not. Jun 13 18:13:49 I was only looking for certain keycodes Jun 13 18:13:51 or czech :-) Jun 13 18:13:56 "Enter" key to be specific Jun 13 18:13:59 hmmm, okay... different question Jun 13 18:14:08 palm-menu-icon... selected option on those? Jun 13 18:14:25 .true Jun 13 18:14:32 for the checkbox Jun 13 18:14:42 i shall try that Jun 13 18:14:54 .palm-row .left .checkbox.true { Jun 13 18:14:59 I like mine better Jun 13 18:15:57 .palm-menu-button.selected { Jun 13 18:16:54 damn keycodes Jun 13 18:18:30 urg, this is tricky Jun 13 18:20:22 haeffb , i can workaround with event.shiftKey Jun 13 19:03:52 I think the new iphone is stunning :( Jun 13 19:04:06 why sad face ? Jun 13 19:04:19 iuno Jun 13 19:04:26 because it's far from stunning. Jun 13 19:04:34 Gargrarg.. car subs should not need power. they should be magical and work off air Jun 13 19:04:45 iphones have too many limitations and they are only on att Jun 13 19:06:19 it's quad band UMTS .. Jun 13 19:06:29 which is pretty nice for an international phone Jun 13 19:06:53 roaming ost too much. i always just use a prepaid Jun 13 19:07:43 from a hardware standpoint, i think apple does a decent job on making a device that feels good in the hand and has capable computing power Jun 13 19:11:41 Sooo… Pick a number between 0 and not enough and thats how much oil is in my car right now Jun 13 19:13:34 from a hardware standpoint, i think palm failed to do a decent job on making a device that's fluid with it's software, helping to kill it's own platform :( Jun 13 19:14:42 I still love webos but I'm craving new hardware desperately, mostly because I don't want to turn to andriod because if I'm flashing devices and waiting for things to be rooted I may as well have an iphone or a win mobile phone again. Jun 13 19:15:22 Come to the dark side Jun 13 19:15:45 does the dark side have cookies? Jun 13 19:15:54 because if it does, that would be taken into consideration. Jun 13 19:15:54 And milk Jun 13 19:17:05 cookies made of poo! Jun 13 19:17:07 what's the catch, I bet it's like 1% milk, damn subsidized empire. Jun 13 19:17:31 Only the grunts get that crap Jun 13 19:17:55 We get whatever the hell we want Jun 13 19:19:29 hello all Jun 13 19:19:29 I look at it like this. What makes WebOS good? Jun 13 19:19:34 Two things. Jun 13 19:19:40 Cards and notifications. Jun 13 19:19:44 Really, that's it. Jun 13 19:19:46 multitasking and openness Jun 13 19:19:53 and it's much less locked down like uikit Jun 13 19:19:58 Your forgetting about the not killing of the puppies Jun 13 19:20:02 Don't give me that openess crap Jun 13 19:20:03 ya i agree with punzada Jun 13 19:20:19 openness is good because it allows more advanced development Jun 13 19:20:25 That's crap. Jun 13 19:20:34 prove it Jun 13 19:20:40 what makes that bad or crap? Jun 13 19:20:45 it's open to a fine extent with me, I don't care if stuff isn't gpl long as it's editable. Jun 13 19:20:52 you're telling me it doesn't matter? Jun 13 19:20:54 The system itself is incredibly lacking in what is available in the first place. Jun 13 19:21:09 i'm not talking about licensing Jun 13 19:21:13 well saying the SDK needs helps is an understatement. Jun 13 19:21:15 i'm talking about potential Jun 13 19:21:17 I'll give you that. Jun 13 19:21:20 In order to get things standardized across the entire platform, you'd actually need to incorporate those patches, etc into the OS itself. Jun 13 19:21:24 with PDK the flood gatges ae cracking open Jun 13 19:21:33 Come on. Jun 13 19:21:40 The PDK is nothing more than a patch for gaming. Jun 13 19:21:49 it's much more than that Jun 13 19:21:56 it allows for native binary Jun 13 19:21:59 that's huge Jun 13 19:21:59 No, it's really not. Jun 13 19:22:09 webos was lacking that Jun 13 19:22:15 xsism: it could be much more then that, the sad fact is that developer focus is on andriod so chances of it being used for anything worthwhile dwindles daily :( Jun 13 19:22:37 what do you mean on android? Jun 13 19:22:49 I mean nobody cares about webos. Jun 13 19:22:52 if theyd just open up the flippin mic... Jun 13 19:22:55 1% market means nothing. Jun 13 19:22:57 xsism: You can use a native binary, but just like any other linux based os, you're limited by what is available already on the system, i.e. dependencies. Jun 13 19:23:01 oh ya i agree Jun 13 19:23:21 reality9110, you can compile in libraries Jun 13 19:23:32 aka statically link them Jun 13 19:23:36 or dynamic w/e Jun 13 19:23:42 *.a / *.so Jun 13 19:23:45 To an extent. Jun 13 19:23:58 We still can't touch audio for instance. Jun 13 19:24:00 i loved android from the get go Jun 13 19:24:10 but i like webos a lot more because it is standardized Jun 13 19:24:21 android phones vary too much Jun 13 19:24:42 anybode here have any experience with providing your own sqlite file to be used in mojo app? Jun 13 19:24:47 ya i don't understand the audio stuff Jun 13 19:24:53 it's not hard AT ALL to give access to Jun 13 19:24:56 anybody* Jun 13 19:25:10 xsism: It's a hacked together mess Jun 13 19:25:12 hopefully flood gates crack hard with PDK Jun 13 19:25:26 b0bben, http://www.google.com/search?q=webos+sqlite&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Jun 13 19:25:28 torchie: It's not going to happen Jun 13 19:25:48 xsism: trust me, i've googled my fingers bloody :) Jun 13 19:25:53 i will say that the time left is reduced Jun 13 19:25:54 lol Jun 13 19:26:13 :( Jun 13 19:26:16 nobody is using an existing file in their app, all examples are for creating a new db Jun 13 19:26:21 b0bben, i'm too n00b to tell, but i'm thinking its not possible in mojo Jun 13 19:26:30 though the db system is SQL based isnt it? Jun 13 19:26:40 Yes, it is Jun 13 19:26:58 b0bben: file i/o might still be limited Jun 13 19:27:12 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Mojo_Storage_Database Jun 13 19:27:25 it seems you can open an existing db file Jun 13 19:27:36 and i guess html5 is sqlite based Jun 13 19:27:41 yeah, read all that too... Jun 13 19:27:41 which is what mojo offers Jun 13 19:27:45 yes it is Jun 13 19:28:12 If you try to look for MyDB on the filesystem, you won't find it. The openDatabase method creates an entry in the Databases table in /var/usr/home/root/html5-databases/Databases.db which points to the actual location of your database. Jun 13 19:28:16 quote ^ Jun 13 19:28:26 i'm wondering if the mechanism of working with sqlite storage allows for deploying own sqlite.db files Jun 13 19:28:34 i see Jun 13 19:28:40 exactly Jun 13 19:29:17 i would hate to implement a "downloader" which gets all my records from the interwebs and inserts everything into a newly created db on first launch Jun 13 19:29:21 b0bben: What I'd do is probably something like xml the database, then have the app create a new database at first run, and throw the data into the created database. Jun 13 19:29:27 not a good user experience at all Jun 13 19:29:37 reality9110: :) Jun 13 19:29:49 It works. Jun 13 19:30:10 that's my last options actually Jun 13 19:30:11 You can read an included local xml file Jun 13 19:30:13 option* Jun 13 19:30:29 would love to solve it in a better way first... Jun 13 19:30:36 Best of luck Jun 13 19:30:40 b0bben, http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7332 Jun 13 19:30:46 will need it :) Jun 13 19:30:56 also see my PM b0bben Jun 13 19:33:54 so guys, got a Q.... Jun 13 19:33:59 if i can remember lol... Jun 13 19:34:57 hmmm Jun 13 19:35:02 lost it Jun 13 19:35:13 haha Jun 13 19:35:16 :) Jun 13 19:35:31 so, another q: anybody worked with SOAP in mojo? Jun 13 19:35:35 someone give me 100 dollars Jun 13 19:36:00 b0bben: You mean javascript. Jun 13 19:36:13 reality9110: yeah Jun 13 19:36:24 my understanding is there is nothing built-in Jun 13 19:36:37 there are a couple of pure JS libs for SOAP Jun 13 19:36:41 Well, you don't really need anything special for it Jun 13 19:37:17 yeah, i know about the ajax calls in prototype available in mojo Jun 13 19:37:24 You can call SOAP services with just ajax Jun 13 19:37:29 Yeah Jun 13 19:37:37 but i would love to skip the parsing mysels Jun 13 19:37:40 myself* Jun 13 19:38:19 so, just to confirm, ajax calls in mojo are not bound by the XSS protection? Jun 13 19:38:22 Well, you can use a SOAP client .js file and just call it Jun 13 19:39:08 I doubt it Jun 13 19:39:20 nope Jun 13 19:39:21 But isn't that server side mainly? Jun 13 19:39:21 their not Jun 13 19:39:28 nope Jun 13 19:39:36 yeah, me too, no use of XSS protection in mojo really Jun 13 19:39:41 at least not the cross domain portion Jun 13 19:40:06 that's good news Jun 13 19:40:13 I want a sub Jun 13 19:40:20 rawr Jun 13 19:40:22 why doesn't this work: PDL_ServiceCall("palm://com.palm.applicationManager/open", "{parameters: {target: \"tel://5550005555\"}}"); Jun 13 19:40:28 b0bben: so what are you coding up? Jun 13 19:40:34 car sub is needed Jun 13 19:40:34 maybe i won't need to screw around the sqlite limits anyways then Jun 13 19:41:15 reality9110: i'm porting our iphone app http://itunes.apple.com/se/app/bensinjakt/id327730112?mt=8 Jun 13 19:41:25 find gas stations around you Jun 13 19:41:38 I would be set and could use a normal sub if I drove a sedan, but noooooo Jun 13 19:41:42 I have an suv Jun 13 19:41:48 so I need underseat subs Jun 13 19:42:09 b0bben: ah Jun 13 19:42:15 i wanna have the first swedish app on webos...they don't sell any webos devices in sweden :) Jun 13 19:42:43 We better work on our Swedish language version then. ;-) Jun 13 19:43:23 reality9110: yeah, do that....always usable our language is :) Jun 13 19:43:26 I never bothered to add internationalization. Jun 13 19:43:30 Got lazy Jun 13 19:43:42 Still available in all countries. Jun 13 19:44:34 reality9110: real reason is actually that i believe in webos Jun 13 19:44:40 and webos needs apps and devs right now Jun 13 19:44:44 i'm here to support it Jun 13 19:45:06 that's why i went to a lot of trouble to buy a Pre... Jun 13 19:45:18 so....any medals giveways? i want one :Å Jun 13 19:45:20 :P Jun 13 19:45:33 There's the Palm Hot Apps program. Jun 13 19:45:40 ya that was my Q..!!! Jun 13 19:45:46 anyone going for the PDK hot apps? Jun 13 19:45:59 xsism: They don't qualify Jun 13 19:46:09 ya they do Jun 13 19:46:15 starting july 1 - aug 31 Jun 13 19:46:19 Ah, I see that. Jun 13 19:46:23 Heck no. Jun 13 19:46:31 PDK hot apps would be nice Jun 13 19:46:40 anyone wana team up? Jun 13 19:46:45 what is your idea ? Jun 13 19:46:49 and will it be open source ? Jun 13 19:46:51 i would do a voice command app if we had mic access Jun 13 19:46:57 its a game Jun 13 19:46:59 no mic access immediately Jun 13 19:47:07 xsism: So would a lot of people Jun 13 19:47:24 i already compiled pocketsphinx for webos lol Jun 13 19:47:38 nice Jun 13 19:47:39 im thinking of just putting it together with an incliuded WAV file to demo it Jun 13 19:47:45 sounds good Jun 13 19:48:07 I'm already irritated that the Palm Hot Apps program was extended another month Jun 13 19:48:34 why? Jun 13 19:48:45 i did some work getting the C++ port of zxing working under SDL Jun 13 19:48:51 anyone ever played the wii play tanks game? Jun 13 19:49:19 Because it extended the amount of time that developers had to keep their app hot. Some people who would have won $10,000 are now in the $1000 bracket Jun 13 19:49:46 so, demand went down with time? Jun 13 19:49:59 Depends on the app Jun 13 19:50:12 The apps down in the 18-21 spot Jun 13 19:50:15 we don't have camera access in the PDK huh? Jun 13 19:50:31 you can call the camera and have it return a picture name Jun 13 19:50:39 but no direct access to the camer Jun 13 19:50:39 a Jun 13 19:50:40 did you get zxing working? Jun 13 19:50:42 as a surface Jun 13 19:51:09 reality9110, when did they extend the hot apps? Jun 13 19:51:13 somewhat .. the sdl_image stuff is funky with the different bit depths for images Jun 13 19:51:24 funky how? Jun 13 19:51:27 they have a pitch which is how many bytes a pixel line is .. Jun 13 19:51:33 erm, a picture line Jun 13 19:52:01 i don't understand Jun 13 19:52:08 so when zxing asks for a pixel, you need to do some extra math to figure put where in the pointer array the pixel is located Jun 13 19:52:08 picture line? Jun 13 19:52:20 hmm Jun 13 19:52:21 lets say you had a 99x99 image .. Jun 13 19:52:25 right Jun 13 19:52:31 and 32-bits per pixel .. Jun 13 19:52:35 k Jun 13 19:52:55 you'd expect pixel (20,20) to be at 20*99 + 20 Jun 13 19:53:05 if you were given void *pixels Jun 13 19:53:10 but you don't get that Jun 13 19:53:24 so where would it actually be Jun 13 19:53:26 there is extra alignment that is going on Jun 13 19:53:33 the sdl surface defines a "pitch" Jun 13 19:53:38 or how many pixels are in a single line Jun 13 19:53:44 so it would be 20*pitch + 20 Jun 13 19:53:52 what affects the pitch? Jun 13 19:54:10 but doing something like a memcpy to copy the entire array over to a new picture just doesn't work correctly Jun 13 19:54:22 alignment it seems Jun 13 19:54:30 if you're mod 4, pitch is 0 .. Jun 13 19:54:44 erm, pitch is the same as # of pixels*depth Jun 13 19:54:49 isnt sdl_image jsut a demo image loader Jun 13 19:54:54 you could make your own loader Jun 13 19:55:07 sdl_image is a library which loads jpeg, bmp, png, gif, etc Jun 13 19:55:21 so you could do memcpy with width*height*pitch couldn't you? Jun 13 19:55:23 so you use it to give you an SDL_Surface Jun 13 19:55:45 if your resultant thing wants the 99x99 image, then no .. Jun 13 19:55:46 ah i mis-read Jun 13 19:56:17 yeah, it's weir Jun 13 19:56:18 d Jun 13 19:56:33 but the nice part is that it's just a single intermediate file i had to write Jun 13 19:56:44 sdl_image pretty cool library Jun 13 19:56:44 problem is that it doesn't quite work .. as the C++ port is missing some stuff Jun 13 19:56:55 plus, the pre/pixi camera is not autofocus .. just fixed focus Jun 13 19:56:56 A C++ wrapper of SDL? Jun 13 19:57:03 so close images are pretty terrible Jun 13 19:57:58 maybe the next piece of hardware will have a better camera Jun 13 19:58:48 im reading here and it says pitch is basically pixel line padding for efficiency, like 32bit alignment for the CPU? Jun 13 19:59:00 torchie, what are you asking for c++? Jun 13 19:59:29 yes Jun 13 20:03:35 any idea why SDL would use OPENGL? Jun 13 20:03:41 arent they the same thing? Jun 13 20:03:46 didn't know there was a c++ wrapper of sdl Jun 13 20:03:53 sdl and opengl are different Jun 13 20:04:10 xsism: opengl is a 3d API .. very standard .. Jun 13 20:04:23 sdl's a library that gives a common API to different platforms Jun 13 20:04:32 opengl's for drawin 3d stuff Jun 13 20:07:07 k Jun 13 20:12:03 you guys know anything about linear rotation? Jun 13 20:12:26 brb Jun 13 20:28:33 what is the menu at the bottom of the app catalog called? type of widget Jun 13 20:33:08 It's a command menu Jun 13 20:33:55 reality9110: oh great thanks Jun 13 20:35:27 do you know if the icons can be changed? Jun 13 20:35:44 Yes Jun 13 20:36:11 Yes, they can be...rather. Jun 13 20:38:18 ok thanks, reading about the command line Jun 13 20:38:22 sorry meny Jun 13 20:57:25 reality9110: i am assuming i need to provide a listener for each button is that right? Jun 13 20:57:49 how can we disassemble an ipk file ? Jun 13 20:58:16 using ar or tar usually i think Jun 13 20:58:36 oiuasfuhsdf Jun 13 20:58:37 Famic_: you can use 7-zip Jun 13 20:58:47 no BnM stores have the sub I want Jun 13 20:59:10 halfhalo: =( Jun 13 20:59:24 did u try ordering the sub lastnight? Jun 13 20:59:42 nah, wanted to check out the install situation first Jun 13 20:59:50 oh ok Jun 13 21:00:14 Have to run power through the firewall, and I have no idea where the hell the existing grommets are Jun 13 21:00:28 thanks Jun 13 21:00:40 but I'm also deciding on size and brand now Jun 13 21:03:33 http://evolve.ae/forum/userpix/232_GhettoBoomBox_1.jpg Jun 13 21:08:32 lol Jun 13 21:08:37 looking at this: http://www.amazon.com/Boss-BASS1200-10-Inch-Amplified-Subwoofer/dp/B001DXF990/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1 Jun 13 21:11:20 anyone played with Metrix? Jun 13 21:15:56 halfhalo: wow that really is low profile, pretty awesome Jun 13 21:16:26 might look into one, in a month once i sell my current car Jun 13 21:17:20 what car to what car? Jun 13 21:17:23 reality9110: you still around? Jun 13 21:17:55 yeah Jun 13 21:18:17 have a 1995 jeep cherokee and turned out to be a major lemon, so what to get the same but 2000-2001 Jun 13 21:18:38 reality9110: where would I define the new icons? Jun 13 21:18:40 Uhhh...why are you... Jun 13 21:18:42 Oh Jun 13 21:18:48 I thought you wanted me to answer that. Jun 13 21:18:55 for the command menu? Jun 13 21:19:13 Ummm...let me check my old Broadcast Radio code Jun 13 21:19:36 ah. Yeah, I have an 03 Highlander. It was free, so can't complain a whole lot Jun 13 21:20:00 halfhalo: have driven it 300 miles, brakes locked, gas gauge does not work, transmission might be screwed... Jun 13 21:20:20 reality9110: thanks Jun 13 21:20:43 Heh Jun 13 21:21:42 I hav eto take mine in for its 100k service Jun 13 21:22:08 nice, mine to the junkyard.... Jun 13 21:22:23 wow Jun 13 21:22:28 LoneStar99: In setup under commandModel Jun 13 21:22:43 some peopel actually think those craptacular apps are by HP.. just cause they say HP and have a support url of www.hp.com Jun 13 21:23:21 wow nuts Jun 13 21:23:21 LoneStar99: http://webos.pastebin.com/8SYzRGyB Like this Jun 13 21:23:46 reality9110: wow easy enough Jun 13 21:24:43 thank you! reality9110 Jun 13 21:27:23 No problem Jun 13 21:39:17 anyone have an example of drawing using OpenGL ES 1.1, not 2.0? Jun 13 21:40:09 I've been trying to get a very simple app going and I just get garbage on the screen Jun 13 21:40:23 http://pastie.org/1003064 Jun 13 21:45:00 calling glOrthof doesn't make a difference and afaik isn't actually required Jun 13 21:50:33 Amaranth: I think codeslaw has been working on OpenGL Jun 13 22:02:29 hey people Jun 13 22:02:37 what's wrong with this syntax? Jun 13 22:03:02 var deletesql = "DELETE FROM 'my_favs' WHERE name = event.item.name"; Jun 13 22:14:22 BigBiff: Do you have a row where name is "event.item.name"? Jun 13 22:14:54 var deletesql = "DELETE FROM 'my_favs' WHERE name = " + event.item.name; Jun 13 22:15:04 oh, but you need to quote it too Jun 13 22:15:23 var deletesql = "DELETE FROM 'my_favs' WHERE name = '" + event.item.name + "'"; Jun 13 22:21:12 ooh, someone posted a complete example when trying to show how to use SOIL to load images to textures (which I'll also need so that's cool) Jun 13 22:23:23 var deletesql = "DELETE FROM 'my_favs' WHERE name =" + event.item.name; Jun 13 22:27:08 nope, their app shows garbage on my screen too Jun 13 22:27:24 Starting to wonder if my phone is broken Jun 13 22:27:33 Or if I'm just compiling this wrong Jun 13 22:28:10 The current PDK apps in the store must mostly be OpenGL 1.1 since they're iPhone ports and no one wants to leave 3G users out Jun 13 22:34:34 hmm, would it work better to use 'my_favs' WHERE (name) VALUE (?); Jun 13 22:35:25 then in the executeSql(deletesql, [event.item.name], etc. ? Jun 13 22:35:33 either should work. Jun 13 22:35:53 ok - i may be losing the value of 'event' somehow Jun 13 22:47:34 BigBiff: well event.item.name is not a SQL object. you need to extract it and pass the value in double quotes - of course if its another type then do as appropriate Jun 13 22:50:33 wow I feel stupid Jun 13 22:50:49 I was linking GLESv2 _and_ GLES_CM because I just modified the demo Jun 13 23:25:51 whats the diff between v and CM Amaranth? Jun 13 23:26:15 xsism: GLESv2 is for OpenGL ES 2.0 and GLES_CM is for OpenGL ES 1.1 Jun 13 23:27:05 got it Jun 13 23:27:18 so, i'm assuming PDK includes both libraries? Jun 13 23:28:04 also, random, but does the pre/pixi have real GPS or tower triangulated? Jun 13 23:28:39 its AGPS, so "real" but more accruate with the network is available Jun 13 23:28:50 i see Jun 13 23:28:59 how is it MORE accurate? Jun 13 23:29:10 i would think gps is better than the network-based gps Jun 13 23:29:20 maybe it's faster with network? Jun 13 23:29:33 instead of waiting for satelites Jun 13 23:29:37 the network acts as a second receiver to account for drift, signal fade, cloud cover, etc Jun 13 23:29:41 and that too Jun 13 23:30:44 cool Jun 13 23:40:38 is there anything tracking what's being done with PDK right now Jun 13 23:41:47 any of you ever had your Pre just die Jun 13 23:42:18 not power down, just go from operational to zero power, and the battery is fine? Jun 13 23:51:43 i had that happen to my pxi Wolf Jun 13 23:51:46 pixi Jun 13 23:51:52 since te pdk was released where are the pdk applications Jun 13 23:51:56 last night, my pdk app had an error Jun 13 23:52:11 are pdk apps even in the catalog yet? Jun 13 23:52:12 renegaid: they are not accepted into the app catalog yet Jun 13 23:52:50 i wonder why and when they are accepted what can we expect Jun 13 23:53:14 wait, are they? Jun 13 23:53:20 they should just make a big ol PDK section Jun 13 23:53:31 just call it "Hotterest apps" Jun 13 23:55:51 renegaid: don't expect anything other than full-screen games for a while, cause hybrid apps won't be accepted for quite a while yet Jun 13 23:56:07 why not? Jun 13 23:56:52 what? Jun 13 23:56:58 what do you define a hybrid app as? Jun 13 23:56:59 palm have a timeline for SDK apps soon and Hybrid apps later. Jun 13 23:57:07 web using plugin? Jun 13 23:57:15 Hybrid apps have a specific meaning in Palm documentation. Jun 13 23:57:30 take a look at the developer day video on the subject Jun 13 23:57:31 which is... Jun 13 23:57:37 ahmmm Jun 13 23:57:59 where's the timeline! Jun 13 23:58:05 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWg9xFwKGcM Jun 13 23:58:22 torchie: the only public information is in those videos Jun 13 23:58:29 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWg9xFwKGcM Jun 13 23:58:35 cool found the same one Jun 13 23:59:27 If you're in the early access program, check the private communication area for more information. I can't repeat any of that here of course. Jun 14 00:00:38 wow I think I just crashed the GPU Jun 14 00:01:09 fyi Jun 14 00:01:22 i didnt think this would work but it did: Jun 14 00:01:31 var deletesql = "DELETE FROM 'my_favs' where (name) = (?)" Jun 14 00:01:49 I wish I could get in the early access program without having something in the catalog already Jun 14 00:01:55 double quotes were killin me Jun 14 00:02:37 Amaranth: that isn't a requirement anymore Jun 14 00:02:45 yeah, I definitely crashed the GPU Jun 14 00:02:55 If this is consistent I should file a bug report or something Jun 14 00:03:48 Wolf: Really? Jun 14 00:03:52 * Amaranth looks for where to sign up Jun 14 00:06:23 so pdk just mean games. that really sucks Jun 14 00:07:21 no, PDK acceptance into app catalog in the near future just means full-screen SDL apps. That's a very different statement from yours. Jun 14 00:11:14 There are SDL UI libraries Jun 14 00:11:49 It's clear the hybrid stuff needs more work though Jun 14 00:13:04 sure, you can write a UI in SDL. you can write openoffice in SDL if you like. Jun 14 00:13:33 but saying that "pdk just means games" is simply not a true statement. Jun 14 00:14:22 Heck, Mozilla wrote Firefox in OpenGL, didn't they? Jun 14 00:14:27 For the Android port Jun 14 00:19:40 someone from mozilla has been (was) porting firefox via the pdk Jun 14 00:20:44 http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=6478&hilit=firefox+pdk Jun 14 00:46:51 hello Jun 14 00:51:53 rwhitby: r u running openoffice on your pre? Jun 14 00:52:06 (one of them) Jun 14 00:52:19 When are PDK apps released? Jun 14 00:52:30 BigBiff: no, but I just added features to MetaDoctor to create a separate 2GB ext3fs partition so that we can put a Debian chroot in there. Jun 14 00:53:14 GREAT NEWS!! (no idea what any of that means...hehe) Jun 14 00:54:00 it means you should be able to run any Ubuntu application on the Pre (with caveats of course) Jun 14 00:54:12 that sounds killer Jun 14 00:54:20 what about the non-metadoctor route? Jun 14 00:54:32 Tibfib: tough Jun 14 00:54:55 you guys know how to debug a webos app in a web browser? Jun 14 00:55:06 rwhitby: that's too bad Jun 14 00:55:21 cryptofs has vfat semantics, which means we can't use it for a chroot. and no-one stepped forward to add ext3 semantics to the cryptofs driver Jun 14 00:56:17 note that you don't need to bypass activation in metadoctor, you can just use it to add the extra partition Jun 14 00:56:40 Oh, then that's better Jun 14 00:58:11 rwhitby: eta? Jun 14 00:59:54 anyone know if a javascript global has to be numeric? Jun 14 01:06:46 Tibfib: no ETA Jun 14 01:07:06 Tibfib: ka6sox is working on it in #webos-internals right now Jun 14 01:07:09 * rwhitby bbl Jun 14 01:14:22 someone ported firefox android to webos Amaranth Jun 14 01:15:10 rwhitby, what is metadoctor and how did you get access to the partitions? Jun 14 01:15:37 xsism: cool Jun 14 01:15:58 ya via PDK, has menu bars and scroll bars lol Jun 14 01:16:07 not exactly pretty, but cool in concept Jun 14 01:16:33 LoneStar99, no globals don't have to be numeric....JS vars re typeless Jun 14 01:16:58 hi all Jun 14 01:19:03 hello Jun 14 01:22:36 xsism: thanks must be my code that is not working then Jun 14 01:22:59 what's it doing/ Jun 14 01:23:00 ? Jun 14 01:23:27 wow chipmunk is giving me completely bogus x,y info Jun 14 01:23:39 Sometimes the top is 0 for y, sometimes the bottom is Jun 14 01:23:57 otherwise it's like 5784734834 which is rather large for a 320x480 screen Jun 14 01:24:21 that means the value hasn't been set yet Jun 14 01:24:36 type that number into calculator and convert to hex Jun 14 01:24:43 it's prbly all FF's Jun 14 01:24:59 no no, the number changes Jun 14 01:25:23 It goes up and down like 900000 as I make the body move from top to bottom Jun 14 01:25:34 what is chipmunk? Jun 14 01:26:30 hi JenP Jun 14 01:26:44 hi BigBiff Jun 14 01:27:35 xsism: physics library Jun 14 01:28:01 hmm Jun 14 01:29:04 tempted to try out box2d Jun 14 01:32:56 rwhitby, you deved govnah? Jun 14 01:34:35 how do you align command menu items or groups? Jun 14 01:35:04 i want one in the center and one on the right... i tried null, group1, group2, but that didn't work... Jun 14 01:35:21 null, null, group1, null, group2 worked... but is that the way i should do it? Jun 14 01:36:43 HattCzech: use a blank item {} Jun 14 01:37:14 xsism: it is pretty straightforward, but not sure if the syntax is correct http://pastebin.com/0c3Eq2NK Jun 14 01:37:20 that's what the nulls were referring to... Jun 14 01:37:36 but do i really need to have 5 items (3 null) to achieve my result? Jun 14 01:37:44 HattCzech: yes Jun 14 01:37:52 :P Jun 14 01:38:26 hahah, lame :) Jun 14 01:38:31 ahh Jun 14 01:38:39 LoneStar99, you need the 'var' identifier Jun 14 01:38:45 to define it as global iirc Jun 14 01:39:02 xsism: let me try that Jun 14 01:50:13 LoneStar99, did it work? Jun 14 02:06:03 wait Jun 14 02:06:13 what was used for native development before PDK? Jun 14 02:07:32 how do i "noticeUpdatedItems" of a command menu? Jun 14 02:07:45 anyone know if html5 geolocation works in webos? Jun 14 02:08:05 navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition()? Jun 14 02:10:26 oh! Jun 14 02:10:32 so that's why those 3D games came out earlier Jun 14 02:10:35 PDK native access Jun 14 02:10:43 I mean early access Jun 14 02:13:38 HattCzech: what do you want to do? Jun 14 02:15:00 add an item to a commandmenu Jun 14 02:15:07 then have it show up after i've added it :) Jun 14 02:22:28 any ideas? Jun 14 02:22:47 i tried this.controller.modelChanged, but not working Jun 14 02:23:46 hmmm, i lied Jun 14 02:23:48 that worked Jun 14 02:30:09 woops. wasn't paying attention.. that was what I was going to recommend :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jun 14 02:59:57 2010
