03:35.27 | dueynz | i should start |
03:35.34 | jasta | apr 14th is the round 1 deadline |
03:35.43 | dueynz | oshit |
03:35.52 | dueynz | meh probably won't enter |
03:36.07 | jasta | i would be surprised if you could "throw together" an app in time. |
03:36.10 | jasta | ...very surprised :) |
03:36.35 | dueynz | i would be able to |
03:36.48 | dueynz | just to many assignments due on or around thatdate |
03:37.19 | dueynz | ill release it in august |
03:37.31 | dueynz | i have to have it completed by then |

03:38.44 | jasta | even having no responsibilities whatsoever it would be difficult to put together a winning submission in this short a time frame. |
03:38.52 | *** join/#android Zoolooc_ (n=fredsiba@nrbg-4dbfa993.pool.einsundeins.de) |
03:39.04 | dueynz | doubt it |
03:39.08 | jasta | if your app is really so miserably trivial, then why would it win? |
03:39.23 | dueynz | because i doubt they are looking for something fine tuned |
03:39.53 | jasta | I think you might be surprised by how many quality submissions are going to be available by Apr 14th. |
03:40.04 | dueynz | soon see i guess :) |
03:40.10 | jasta | some developers, unlike yourself, do not wait until 2 weeks before the deadline to get started. |
03:40.12 | dueynz | probably won't enter anyway |
03:40.25 | dueynz | 2 weeks is my usual deadline time |
03:40.28 | dueynz | used to it |
03:41.05 | jasta | you have a scalability problem then, sir. |
03:41.10 | dueynz | haha |
03:41.31 | dueynz | ill throw it together tonight and do the testing tomorrow |
03:41.56 | jasta | well, if you feel that gives you a fair chance at the prize, go for it. |
03:42.21 | dueynz | im not after the prize |
03:42.27 | dueynz | im after feedback |
03:42.35 | jasta | Google is unlikely to provide you with any feedback. |
03:42.40 | dueynz | meh |
03:42.56 | jasta | Given the volume of submissions, I suspect the only feed back you will receive is a $25,000 check. |
03:43.04 | jasta | ...or nothing. |
03:43.30 | dueynz | i am assuming round 2 involves implementation of suggestions considering the minimal timeframe in between |
03:43.40 | dueynz | or something along those lines |
03:43.54 | jasta | I think your assumptions are inconsistent with the reality of non-trivial software design. |
03:44.10 | dueynz | well they want to use these apps to advertise the product right? |
03:44.55 | jasta | That seems like a sensible goal, yes. I, nor you, know precisely what they want however. |
03:45.14 | dueynz | ok well if you read the TOS it says something along the lines of using the app to promote the platform |
03:45.23 | *** join/#android chumphries_ (n=chumphri@labs.niroze.net) |
03:45.43 | jasta | It says that you grant them the right to do so. You can infer from that that they wish to use it for such purposes, but that is not a fact. |
03:45.45 | dueynz | so it would make sense to give people feedback, such as interface design specs such that all the apps are somewhat consistant |
03:46.43 | jasta | It would not make sense to give feedback for every or even most projects, nor would it be fair to give feedback to winning submissions as they will then be in competition for the extra prizes. |
03:47.18 | jasta | Only after the challenge is complete would it make sense for Google to intervene significantly. |
03:47.29 | dueynz | well we don't know what the second compo is |
03:47.41 | dueynz | it might be best implementation of feedback :) |
03:47.45 | jasta | This is not, as you assume, an episode of American Idol. |
03:48.04 | dueynz | who said I am assuming that? |
03:48.18 | jasta | dueynz: What second "compo"? The first round is the qualifying round; if you do not win it, you are ineligible to win the next round. |
03:48.36 | dueynz | second round then |
03:49.18 | jasta | Do you mean the second ADC? |
03:49.25 | jasta | There will be two, each with 2 rounds. |
03:49.32 | dueynz | no |
03:49.40 | dueynz | i mean the second round of this competition |
03:50.49 | dueynz | jasta: I have to do this project for whether I am in the competition or not |

03:52.58 | dueynz | the problem is my project heavily relies on the camera |

04:36.07 | muthu | what's the depth? |
04:38.48 | B0jangles | depth, as in, number of nested elements? |
04:39.05 | muthu | i think that's what he means |
04:39.06 | jasta | yeah |
04:39.11 | jasta | looks like this is a known problem. |
04:39.11 | B0jangles | how many? |
04:39.14 | jasta | http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/277e81c07591219f/d3f4a073b375c9e5?#d3f4a073b375c9e5 |
04:39.22 | muthu | how many? how many? |
04:39.32 | B0jangles | hmm |
04:39.33 | B0jangles | 6? |
04:39.50 | B0jangles | Does it only happen with ViewGroups? |
04:39.57 | muthu | 6 - 9? |
04:40.08 | B0jangles | Yeah, I guess 6-9 |
04:40.10 | B0jangles | huh |
04:40.20 | B0jangles | I haven't gotten more than 3 or 4 I think |
04:40.41 | jasta | ViewGroups are the basis for every type of layout. |
04:40.49 | muthu | mostly i stop at 3 |
04:40.55 | jasta | and the only type that can have nested views. |
04:41.06 | B0jangles | Ah, yes, I suppose that's correct |
04:41.07 | muthu | haven't had any real need to go beyond 3 |
04:41.15 | jasta | I'm thinking that my problem is coming from the fact that I use ViewInflate.inflate() a lot, which adds 1 extra layer each time totally unnecessarily |
04:41.23 | muthu | oh.. ok |
04:41.36 | jasta | since their API is kind of stupidly broken there. |
04:42.03 | jasta | i guess they have addressed that in the next SDK, though. |
04:42.05 | muthu | lately we are getting interesting replies in the group |
04:42.26 | B0jangles | such as? |
04:42.27 | muthu | if you have a bug in the api, you can just mock it up |
04:42.38 | muthu | but let them know what the bug is |
04:42.51 | muthu | if you have real limitations with the sdk.. whatever it might be |
04:42.55 | muthu | gps.. et al |
04:44.43 | jasta | sigh |
04:44.47 | jasta | looks for hackish ways to work around this |
04:46.57 | poffy | k guyz. Who wants to help me with some animation crap? :O |
04:47.41 | muthu | i've been asked to do animation.. but have been kicked behind for my lack of skills |
04:47.45 | muthu | go on poffy |
04:47.53 | poffy | k |
04:47.56 | poffy | let me paste some stuff |
04:48.10 | jasta | use a pastebin please :) |

04:48.44 | poffy | That's my drawable xml file |
04:48.52 | poffy | I'm using the new animation stuff |
04:48.56 | muthu | irc should be like twitter.. it must auto link to pastebin |
04:49.20 | poffy | http://rafb.net/p/m4S71H62.html |
04:49.24 | poffy | That's my custom view |
04:50.59 | poffy | What happens when I click on the screen, is it just displays the first frame |
04:51.07 | poffy | rather than the animation |
04:51.56 | jasta | I told you to search the Android issue list :) |
04:52.02 | poffy | I did |
04:52.11 | poffy | Just brought me back to the old stuff |
04:52.12 | poffy | that doesn't work |
04:52.44 | muthu | poffy did you try the build in view |
04:52.45 | jasta | I had this same problem as discussed here: |
04:52.53 | muthu | viewflipper |
04:53.09 | poffy | Viewfliiper? |
04:53.20 | muthu | yeah.. very easy to animate |
04:54.48 | jasta | http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=350 |
04:55.21 | jasta | See the most recent comment I just made discussing the work-around. |

04:59.34 | muthu | l |
04:59.44 | jasta | h |
04:59.51 | poffy | jasta, what class does setAnimatinoCacheEnabled belong to? |
04:59.56 | jasta | so, was that a vim joke, or just a keyboard locality joke? |
05:00.16 | B0jangles | uh, it was an alphabetical joke for me |
05:00.20 | jasta | poffy: If you look at the code, it should be obvious to you. |
05:00.31 | _avatar | i have what appears to be unbounded memory growth in my application; i'm monitoring the heap size and object count in DDMS... is there any way to determine how many and what types of objects are alive in a running process? |
05:00.32 | jasta | well, mine was a vim joke. therefore, better. :) |
05:00.50 | jasta | _avatar: you aren't using Base64Utils.decodeBase64() are you? :) |
05:00.53 | B0jangles | :wq |
05:00.57 | *** join/#android jtoy (n=jtoy@218.20.43.10) |
05:01.13 | _avatar | jasta: haha, no. i worked around that leak by using a 3rd party base64 decoder ;) |
05:01.33 | jasta | are you certain not to have any circular references in your code? |
05:01.39 | jasta | or lingering references? |
05:01.56 | B0jangles | dangling references? |
05:02.05 | B0jangles | disaffected references? |
05:02.34 | muthu | zombies |
05:02.43 | _avatar | i'm not certain, but i try to stay very careful about not creating circular references. i thought java's GC was smart enough to clean circular references? |
05:02.46 | _avatar | what are lingering references? |
05:02.55 | jasta | yay, i worked around my depth problem by just adjusting one usage of ViewInflate.inflate to attach its children. |
05:02.59 | _avatar | sorry, I'm by no means a java expert |
05:03.38 | B0jangles | I hate zombies |
05:03.39 | _avatar | i suppose google could answer my lingering reference question |
05:04.07 | muthu | avatar: are you doing any threads? |
05:04.39 | _avatar | muthu: yes, i am |
05:05.26 | muthu | hmm.. threads if you are not careful will run amok |
05:05.39 | B0jangles | just like zombies |
05:05.40 | _avatar | hrm, in what sense? |
05:06.16 | muthu | what do you do in your thread? |
05:07.03 | _avatar | various things, i have more than 1 worker thread somtimes. one example is a work queue. i post work items and they are processed in the background |
05:08.04 | _avatar | that answer's probably to vague to be of any use, heh |
05:08.55 | _avatar | i'm under an NDA so i need to be careful what i say |
05:09.11 | _avatar | hrm |
05:12.34 | _avatar | but there's no way to get a snapshot of the heap, and the number of and type of living objects? |
05:12.56 | muthu | there are.. you need to use the ide |
05:13.03 | muthu | intellij offers some.. |
05:13.12 | _avatar | i'm using Eclipse |
05:13.31 | muthu | i'll check the eclipse plugins, if any |
05:20.12 | poffy | jasta, I really apologize for how stupid my questions might seem, but I've been trying to mess with the code |
05:20.15 | poffy | ((ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.inner2)).setAnimationCacheEnabled(false); |
05:20.24 | poffy | It's getting a View and casting as a ViewGroup, right? |
05:20.53 | muthu | the layouts are all viewgroup |
05:21.02 | muthu | so they can contain other views |
05:21.42 | muthu | ViewGroup extends View btw |
05:21.49 | poffy | but findViewbyId gets a view, right? |
05:21.59 | muthu | yeah.. |
05:22.23 | poffy | so, in my case, I should get my view and cast as a ViewGroup to turn off the AnimationCache? |
05:22.35 | muthu | ViewGroup EXTENDS View |
05:22.42 | poffy | ok |
05:22.55 | muthu | to get a clear picture.. look at the class hierarchy |
05:23.00 | muthu | in the docs.. very useful |
05:24.45 | poffy | I try and copy the code with ((ViewGroup)sView).setAnimationCacheEnabled(false); |
05:25.40 | poffy | but I get "Cannot cast from StickView to ViewGroup" |
05:25.53 | poffy | I apoligize for these newb questions |
05:26.09 | poffy | I haven't felt like this since I started C/C++ a few years ago |
05:26.10 | poffy | ... |
05:26.22 | muthu | StickView is a view |
05:26.33 | muthu | cast it to a View |
05:26.38 | poffy | ok |
05:26.53 | muthu | View sits at the top.. |
05:29.21 | hoopla | does anyone know how input will be handled? will it be keyboard or exclusively touch screen? |
05:32.11 | duey | the red eye is looking at me for a long time |
05:32.44 | duey | yay exceptions |
05:33.26 | poffy | muthu, when I do ((ViewGroup)(View)sView).setAnimationCacheEnabled(false); I get a error when I try to run it, "Unable to start Activity ... ". Some exception stuff in StickView |
05:33.35 | jasta | lol |
05:33.36 | jasta | dude ;) |
05:33.38 | poffy | I'll try and why the exception |
05:33.44 | poffy | find |
05:33.49 | jasta | you need to take a step back and just learn Java first :) |
05:34.09 | _avatar | hoopla: i think it just depends on the phone. if you watch the video here http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_7260000/newsid_7267900/7267977.stm?bw=nb&mp=wm&news=1&nol_storyid=7267977&bbcws=1 they mention using a trackpad instead of a touchscreen |
05:37.35 | hoopla | thanks! |
05:39.39 | duey | <PROTECTED> |
05:39.46 | muthu | poffy: do me a favor.. take some time off and check the class hierarchy docs for View.. it would help you a lot |
05:40.10 | muthu | congrats duey |
05:40.25 | duey | ugh its locked my workspace |
05:41.14 | poffy | muthu java.lang.Object -> android.view.View -> android.view.ViewGroup |
05:41.18 | poffy | Is that what you mean? |
05:42.55 | _avatar | ah, interesting. i'm running adb outside of eclipse and i no longer see unbounded memory growth. hmm |
06:06.36 | muthu | poffy: yes, if you need View cast em as View, or if you need ViewGroup cast it as ViewGroup |
06:09.18 | poffy | muthu, ok. I'm sorry if the answer is obvious, but why is giving me an exception error when I do ((ViewGroup)(View)sView).setAnimationCacheEnabled(false); |
06:09.53 | *** join/#android vniles (n=vniles@203.193.154.146) |
06:10.05 | muthu | because view is not a viewgroup |
06:10.11 | poffy | ok, I understand that. |
06:10.20 | poffy | So, I would need to create a ViewGroup |
06:10.26 | poffy | and add the view to it? |
06:10.35 | muthu | yeah..that's what layout does |
06:10.43 | poffy | ok |
06:10.53 | muthu | do it from an xml |
06:10.57 | muthu | set your layout however you want |
06:11.01 | poffy | eh, xml |
06:11.10 | muthu | or you can do it from code |
06:11.11 | poffy | I'll have to screw with that in the morning |
06:11.17 | poffy | I did do it in code |
06:11.18 | muthu | but follow the same semantics |
06:11.50 | poffy | http://rafb.net/p/uHYCJy81.html |
06:11.51 | muthu | if you need animation.. you can use ViewFlipper |
06:11.53 | poffy | I just did that quickly |
06:12.41 | muthu | right |
06:12.50 | muthu | you can create a linearlayout and add all your views to it |
06:12.50 | poffy | ok. |
06:12.54 | poffy | yeah |
06:13.11 | poffy | I'm just still expericing the animation not working |
06:13.11 | poffy | heh |
06:13.24 | poffy | I'll try and figure out ViewFlipper in the morning, I guess.. |
06:13.33 | muthu | add a viewflipper |
06:14.07 | muthu | there's an AnimationUtils class |
06:14.21 | poffy | ViewFlipper can store how many views? |
06:14.30 | poffy | I thought I read in docs that it could only have two |
06:14.48 | muthu | any number of images |
06:14.52 | poffy | Oh ok |
06:15.05 | muthu | only to is the viewswitcher |
06:15.16 | muthu | flipper can load many |
06:15.20 | poffy | ahh |
06:16.01 | poffy | I'll figure out ViewFlipper in the morning then |
06:16.09 | muthu | ok |
06:16.09 | poffy | Thanks for your patience |
06:16.25 | muthu | its all in the docs |
06:16.32 | muthu | look at animation section |
06:16.41 | poffy | I haven't felt like this since I started learning C when I was doing DS homebrew :D |

06:54.47 | duey | stab |
06:54.48 | jasta | or remove the app and data files and install again |
06:55.15 | jasta | pretty stupid but, meh, i'm sure they've already fixed it in the next SDK or whatever |

15:15.24 | muthu | i am waiting on it jasta |
15:15.35 | jasta | well, i wouldn't wait on it. |
15:15.46 | *** part/#android dims (n=dims@c-66-31-154-33.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) |
15:15.53 | jasta | my only basis for speculation is that romain and morrildl have been AWOL for about a week. |
15:16.06 | jasta | and that previously has indicated the rush before a release :) |
15:16.09 | muthu | i guess the release will be only after 14 |
15:16.28 | jasta | i don't know that to be true. morrildl actually suggested a while ago that they "hope" to get a release out before then |
15:17.04 | muthu | now that people are focussed, they wouldn't disrupt |
15:17.47 | morrildl | yeah, the window is closing pretty quickly |
15:18.07 | morrildl | it would be totally wrong to release a major SDK update 2 weeks before the deadline :) |
15:18.24 | muthu | there you have it |
15:18.30 | jasta | well, fine :) |
15:18.45 | morrildl | however, we are still looking to do an update to M5 |
15:18.56 | morrildl | We are trying to figure out what fixes we can get into it |
15:18.57 | jasta | see :) |
15:19.09 | jasta | please, *PLEASE*, fix the MediaPlaye r:( |
15:19.20 | jasta | my app will be so crippled without it |
15:19.23 | morrildl | jasta: heh |
15:19.34 | morrildl | we think we have workarounds for most of the bigger issues |
15:19.52 | morrildl | for example, a lot of people have had problems streaming MP3s, but that appears to be an issue with how they were authored |
15:20.24 | morrildl | jasta: unfortunately for M5 it looks like we aren't going to be able to do the play-and-save-at-the-same-time thing |
15:20.37 | morrildl | however, the good news is that I was told that WILL be supported in 1.0 |
15:20.38 | jasta | what about an InputStream? |
15:21.16 | muthu | i gave up on streaming.. bundling the video for now |
15:21.26 | muthu | works ok for the POC |
15:21.32 | morrildl | play-while-downloading should be in the next milestone drop, as should many, many bug fixes for streaming |
15:21.58 | jasta | sigh, you guys are gonna get a lot of streaming media player submissions that don't do anything :) |
15:22.03 | jasta | mine included :\ |
15:22.06 | morrildl | jasta: yeah I know :( |
15:22.17 | muthu | video view is a bummer |
15:22.33 | muthu | it doesn't support the buffering event |
15:23.37 | muthu | ok.. time to go home.. i'll catch up on the other side of the dinner |
15:23.43 | *** part/#android muthu (n=sara@59.92.89.234) |
15:24.51 | morrildl | jasta: re: inputstreams, the underlying libraries aren't really built for that. The best we can do (for 1.0) would be a PCM player that can accept bytes via an inputstream or similar |
15:25.33 | morrildl | that might be cute for people who want to generate a square wave and play it or something, but it's probably not so hot for you, since you'd have to decode your MP3s in Dalvik |
15:25.42 | jasta | sigh, you're killing me. |
15:25.59 | morrildl | but, like I said, play-and-save should be in the next milestone drop |
15:26.08 | morrildl | so at least that is coming |
15:26.14 | morrildl | Yeah I am bummed too |

19:53.09 | tauren | this is my very first time using the platform ever, so I'm sure i'm doing something silly. |
19:54.07 | tauren | does this channel pertain to google android, or something else? |
19:55.04 | benley | yep |
19:55.15 | tauren | ok, cool. |
19:55.23 | tauren | any ideas what i'm doing wrong? |
19:58.37 | zhobbs | tauren: what application is not responding? |
19:58.47 | zhobbs | HelloAndroid or Home, etc? |
19:58.58 | tauren | its a google app, not mine |
19:59.03 | tauren | let me restart it. |
20:01.09 | tauren | it seems to take about 1 - 2 minutes to start the emulator. Is that normal? Do I have to start it every time I make a change in my app and want to test? Or can eclipse deploy to a running emulator? |
20:02.15 | B0jangles | yes no no |
20:02.19 | B0jangles | oops |
20:02.21 | B0jangles | yes no yes |
20:02.31 | tauren | ok, good to know... |
20:02.57 | tauren | i got the home screen up, but HelloAndroid isn't starting |
20:03.04 | B0jangles | Send it again |
20:03.12 | B0jangles | sometimes it gets lost while the emulator is starting |
20:03.37 | tauren | when I Run in eclipse, it always starts a new copy of the emulator |
20:03.46 | tauren | i now have two running. |
20:03.51 | B0jangles | yeah, sometimes it does that |
20:04.00 | B0jangles | close the old one |
20:04.07 | B0jangles | and hope the new one works ;-) |
20:04.07 | tauren | ok |
20:04.29 | B0jangles | it doesn't always do that, but yeah, sometimes Eclipse has a hard time finding the emulator |
20:04.45 | B0jangles | and it keeps opening new ones |
20:05.03 | tauren | is there something you do when that happens? restart eclipse? |
20:05.14 | B0jangles | get another cup of coffee |
20:05.15 | tauren | or just restart the app until it works? |
20:05.22 | tauren | ;) |
20:05.22 | B0jangles | I just restart the app until it works |
20:05.28 | B0jangles | it'll eventually work |
20:05.34 | B0jangles | and then it'll probably keep working |
20:05.40 | tauren | ok, this time eclipse log shows more promising output |
20:05.50 | tauren | Yes, it worked this time! |
20:06.10 | tauren | The tutorial lead me to think it would JUST WORK. |
20:06.20 | B0jangles | sometimes it does ;-) |
20:06.35 | B0jangles | sometimes it doesn't... |
20:06.35 | tauren | They shuold add something to the faq or somewhere about the possible issues like this. |
20:06.47 | B0jangles | aye |
20:07.05 | tauren | So, to make changes to my app, I just leave the emulator running, and hit Run or Debug again? |
20:07.10 | B0jangles | yeah |
20:07.14 | tauren | do i have to exit the running app? |
20:07.16 | B0jangles | no |
20:07.27 | tauren | so it will start multiple copies of my app at any time? |
20:07.43 | B0jangles | I think Android kills the old ones in the background |
20:07.52 | tauren | ok |
20:08.16 | tauren | just did it and i saw the home screen again for a second. then the app started again. so i think you are probably right. |
20:08.25 | *** part/#android dims (n=dims@c-66-31-154-33.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) |
20:08.32 | tauren | is there some sort of task list in android, so i can see what is running? |
20:08.59 | B0jangles | I forget...DDMS might tell you |
20:09.14 | B0jangles | doesn't have Eclipse open at the moment |
20:09.21 | tauren | ok, np |
20:09.25 | tauren | i appreciate your help. |
20:09.28 | B0jangles | np |
20:10.03 | tauren | at least i'm going now. i had tried it like 4 times and it never once ran for me. |
20:10.43 | B0jangles | yeah, it can be pretty annoying |
20:11.11 | tauren | now i have a better idea of what to expect... |

21:24.47 | morrildl | 50,000 line XSLT file |
21:24.51 | morrildl | Never again. |
21:25.00 | f00f- | morrildl: that's just bad design |
21:25.02 | morrildl | XSLT works well in concept, but it's hard to customize |
21:25.10 | f00f- | you have to split it up into modules |

21:25.52 | morrildl | anyway, django is not bad |
21:26.02 | morrildl | I like django b/c it's not trying to be a revolutionary thing |

23:42.15 | Dan_U | My hosting provider moved their servers. I wonder if they have some kind of load balancer and are balancing between a server with the updated code and one without |

23:44.24 | Dan_U | ksiomelo`: Kinda/sorta :-) |
23:44.55 | Dan_U | I didn't try to jump into doing web services in a proper way because it looked like there was poor support for them. |
23:45.22 | Dan_U | and because I'm lazy |
23:46.35 | ksiomelo` | Dan_U: yes, indeed. I am using an xml-rpc version for android |
23:47.39 | Dan_U | well, I guess regardless of whether the download links are incorrect, I did upload the apk files on the submission page |
23:47.49 | Dan_U | But, that means only the judges can get access to them |
