00:46.17 | jasta | yeah, no kidding |
00:46.21 | jasta | ill get some geotagged pictures up soon |
00:46.32 | yakischloba | its a little too hot for me right now though. I probably could've wrung a liter out of my shirt after my bike ride home a few minutes ago. |

01:17.09 | zhobbs | jasta: how to specify what separator to use |
01:17.42 | zhobbs | that's not part of the adapter is it? |
01:17.52 | jasta | no, its in the listview interface |
01:17.52 | jasta | hang on |
01:18.04 | zhobbs | yeah, I've seen it...but can't find it |
01:18.19 | jasta | oh wait, or maybe not |
01:18.36 | jasta | setDivider |
01:18.54 | jasta | but when i used this (in M3), it was buggy and broken like you wouldn't believe. |
01:18.58 | zhobbs | hm |
01:19.00 | jasta | i should hope its improved, but i dont know |
01:19.08 | zhobbs | I was looking for setSeparator |
01:19.20 | jasta | right, they call it a divider, but they should call it a separator i think |
01:19.22 | zhobbs | cause they call it a separator in the desc of some of the methods |
01:19.29 | zhobbs | k, thanks |
01:19.31 | jasta | especially since other functions call them separators |
01:19.36 | zhobbs | yeah |
01:20.09 | krosaen | a divider is an optimization to make it easy to have the same drawable between every item |
01:20.24 | krosaen | a separator is a view at a position for which ListAdapter#isEnabled returns false |
01:20.40 | krosaen | it won't be selectable |
01:20.44 | zhobbs | oh ok |
01:21.05 | jasta | krosaen: you should note this distinction in the docs, because i didnt get that either. |
01:21.26 | krosaen | yeah, it's not an obvious point, i'll make sure we improve the docs on that |
01:22.00 | zhobbs | I guess that makes sense now that I re-read this method's desc: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/widget/ListView.html#lookForSelectablePosition(int, boolean) |

12:46.31 | Dougie187 | that it is |

12:46.36 | Dougie187 | it is hurricane season. |
12:46.40 | Dougie187 | so it will probably rain soon |
12:46.55 | cutmasta | i think here in germany not |
12:46.57 | cutmasta | :) |
12:47.08 | Dougie187 | well you are lucky then. |
12:47.08 | Dougie187 | lol |
12:47.10 | cutmasta | and hopefully not at all in the us |
12:47.29 | cutmasta | you have enough hurricanes and rain for years |
12:47.41 | Dougie187 | yeah not in all of the us. |
12:48.29 | Dougie187 | but, there is hurricane boris coming in from the west. |
12:49.25 | cutmasta | Dougie187, sounds not good |
12:49.37 | cutmasta | Dougie187, i will go to US this month |
12:49.42 | Dougie187 | cool |

12:50.35 | Dougie187 | hurricanes don't go that far inland. |
12:51.15 | cutmasta | ahhh |
12:51.16 | cutmasta | i see |

13:17.47 | anno^da | Does someone know which role the library layers (in the framework) plays in reference to the Power Management. I know what we have the Power Management class in the APIs and the Power Management implementation in the kernel. Whats the role of the libs in this context ? |
13:21.12 | michaelnovakjr | anno^da: it deals with power related properties like whether it is awake or not and the screen brightness |
13:21.42 | michaelnovakjr | its a high level power management implementation in the sdk |
13:23.30 | anno^da | Yeah I know that I can access the power management using the APIs. But there have to be libraries in the library layer that encapsulate the power management implementation in the kernel. Right? |
13:25.48 | michaelnovakjr | are you looking for something in particular? |
13:27.25 | anno^da | No I'm just looking at the framework at the moment. http://code.google.com/android/what-is-android.html And tried to explain for myself how the implemenation of Power Management works through the different layers of the framework. (sorry for my bad english :) ) |
13:28.23 | anno^da | Application -> PM API -> PW Libraries -> PM implementation in the kernel |
13:28.42 | michaelnovakjr | my guess is that its either in the runtime or libc library |
13:30.07 | anno^da | Yeah ok libc would make the most sense |
13:30.30 | michaelnovakjr | yea or the runtime core libraries |
13:30.38 | michaelnovakjr | not sure how much of that is going to get released |
13:30.46 | michaelnovakjr | as in source code :) |
13:30.58 | anno^da | The VM will be |
13:31.21 | anno^da | Otherwise the coder of the VM wouldnt have said that at the IO |
13:31.56 | michaelnovakjr | yea, but not sure about all the libraries... especially if they contain proprietary code from network providers or manufacturers |
13:33.16 | anno^da | yeah |
13:33.52 | anno^da | from my point of view most of the telephony, gps and 3G related stuff will be closed |
13:34.14 | anno^da | but the whole media implementation (open Core ) will be open |
13:34.14 | michaelnovakjr | gps might not be, but certainly 3G related code will be |
13:34.52 | anno^da | Yeah GPS could be as well. At the Openmoko project it took one year to find an open implemenation |
13:35.14 | michaelnovakjr | i haven't paid much attention at all to android related code recently because i haven't been working with it :) |

13:56.18 | michaelnovakjr | not yet |
13:56.40 | Dougie187 | bust. |
13:56.52 | michaelnovakjr | yea |
13:57.10 | michaelnovakjr | i did start the native git for windows project though! |
13:57.41 | Dougie187 | git? |
13:57.45 | michaelnovakjr | in order to use git you had to install the linux like packages |
13:57.54 | michaelnovakjr | the scm, git |
13:58.17 | michaelnovakjr | http://git.or.cz/ |
13:58.23 | Dougie187 | oh ok |
13:58.41 | Dougie187 | is git better then svn? |
13:58.52 | michaelnovakjr | depends on what you're looking for |
13:58.54 | michaelnovakjr | i think it is |
13:59.03 | Dougie187 | why? |
13:59.10 | michaelnovakjr | it uses a distributed model to source control |
13:59.17 | michaelnovakjr | everyone has their own repository |
13:59.35 | michaelnovakjr | and you can have a remote repository that contains all the contributions for each person |
14:00.13 | Dougie187 | but the remote repository doesnt contain all of the files? |
14:00.42 | michaelnovakjr | it doe |
14:00.43 | michaelnovakjr | s |
14:00.49 | Dougie187 | ok. |
14:00.59 | Dougie187 | but it just contains all of the contributions as well? |
14:01.14 | michaelnovakjr | svn is a central source control system |
14:01.17 | Dougie187 | i guess from your description i dont see how its different from svn. |
14:01.25 | michaelnovakjr | 1 repository and numerous working copies |
14:01.29 | Dougie187 | yeah but you can do work on your own pull. |
14:01.38 | michaelnovakjr | yes git is the same way |
14:01.45 | michaelnovakjr | except you can track commits locally |
14:01.54 | Dougie187 | and remotely? |
14:02.01 | michaelnovakjr | make patches and then if you have permission push remotely |
14:02.07 | Dougie187 | ok. |
14:02.10 | michaelnovakjr | push is like a remote commit |
14:02.19 | Dougie187 | so its like an svn server pushed to a different svn server. |
14:02.34 | michaelnovakjr | essentially |
14:02.39 | michaelnovakjr | its a great model |
14:02.45 | Dougie187 | ok, i get it. |
14:02.56 | Dougie187 | is it more efficient? |
14:03.04 | michaelnovakjr | yea, its fast |
14:03.12 | michaelnovakjr | they have good docs on git for svn users |
14:03.34 | michaelnovakjr | breaks it down and compares the usual daily tasks of git in reference to svn |
14:03.57 | Dougie187 | thats cool. |
14:04.18 | Dougie187 | lol is there something like webgit? |
14:04.20 | Dougie187 | like websvn/ |
14:04.25 | michaelnovakjr | yep |
14:04.31 | michaelnovakjr | comes with git |
14:04.50 | Dougie187 | is it as cool as websvn? |
14:04.52 | Dougie187 | lol |
14:05.05 | michaelnovakjr | haha i think so |
14:05.09 | michaelnovakjr | there's also trac |
14:05.30 | Dougie187 | are there examples online somewhere? |
14:06.22 | Dougie187 | and it works with svn too? |
14:06.43 | michaelnovakjr | what do you mean by works with svn? |
14:06.50 | Dougie187 | git-svn - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (svn interoperability) |
14:06.59 | Dougie187 | like you could have a local git server backed up to an svn server? |
14:07.02 | michaelnovakjr | i don't use git-svn |
14:07.11 | michaelnovakjr | i think git is awesome enough on its own |
14:07.14 | michaelnovakjr | :) |
14:07.19 | Dougie187 | well i already have a remote svn server. |
14:07.25 | michaelnovakjr | i have git and svn running on my server |
14:07.25 | Dougie187 | but i was thinking git would be cool for the local thing. |
14:07.46 | Dougie187 | do you have to commit it all the time? |
14:07.47 | michaelnovakjr | my single trac installation handles svn and git projects |
14:08.04 | michaelnovakjr | only if someone needs what i'm working on |
14:08.12 | Dougie187 | well i mean for your local one? |
14:08.30 | Dougie187 | to keep the versioning going, do you have to commit to your local git repo all the time? |
14:08.35 | michaelnovakjr | yea, i usually commit when i've completed something that works :) |
14:08.48 | Dougie187 | heh, i want something that commits when i save |
14:08.53 | michaelnovakjr | well, when you push it takes your local commits and puts them on the remote |
14:09.03 | michaelnovakjr | preserving the author, id, and timestamp |
14:09.08 | Dougie187 | yeah |
14:09.40 | michaelnovakjr | do you use trac? |
14:10.17 | Dougie187 | nope |
14:10.29 | michaelnovakjr | ever checked it out? |
14:10.42 | Dougie187 | i have svn on my school acct for my homeworks and stuff |
14:10.53 | Dougie187 | then websvn to look at it online |
14:10.53 | michaelnovakjr | trac is like google code |
14:11.15 | Dougie187 | ive never used google code |
14:11.17 | michaelnovakjr | trac has a wiki, ticket management, web source code tool |
14:11.28 | michaelnovakjr | roadmap, milestones.... |
14:11.31 | Dougie187 | do you have to pay for google code? |
14:11.43 | michaelnovakjr | nope |
14:11.49 | michaelnovakjr | nor do you have to pay for trac :) |
14:12.00 | Dougie187 | yeah but trac is something you have to manage right? |
14:12.04 | Dougie187 | google code is on their servers. |
14:12.07 | michaelnovakjr | trac has slightly more features than google code |
14:12.10 | michaelnovakjr | yes |
14:12.12 | Dougie187 | so its like extra storage. |
14:12.21 | michaelnovakjr | but there really isn't much managing |
14:12.27 | Dougie187 | true, but if you have limited space. |
14:12.33 | michaelnovakjr | i have a hot swap for my source code server |
14:12.38 | Dougie187 | heh, I dont. |
14:12.46 | Dougie187 | i have like 11 gigs total storage on my school acct |
14:12.54 | michaelnovakjr | and after each commit it tars up the repo and sends it over to the back up server |
14:12.58 | Dougie187 | do they ever deny google code accounts? |
14:13.07 | michaelnovakjr | not that i have seen |
14:13.20 | michaelnovakjr | its implied that you are an open source project thoug |
14:13.26 | michaelnovakjr | and its public |
14:13.34 | Dougie187 | hmm. |
14:13.59 | Dougie187 | because i started gpging my homework.tar.gz files because of this lazy ass student who likes to steal homeworks. |
14:14.16 | Dougie187 | do you know how much storage they give you? |
14:14.18 | michaelnovakjr | well, if you ever need any svn or git with trac i have the setup |
14:14.22 | michaelnovakjr | i don't charge :) |
14:14.40 | Dougie187 | heh |

14:14.49 | Dougie187 | ill have to look at trac. |
14:15.05 | Dougie187 | i think i actually need to get a new desktop and make it a backup server. |
14:15.14 | michaelnovakjr | its hands down the best web based scm tool i have ever used |
14:15.34 | Dougie187 | what does scm stand for? |

14:16.01 | *** join/#android NSNull (n=malcom@151.65.94.155) |
14:16.04 | Dougie187 | because i have heard other acronyms, never scm though |
14:16.07 | Dougie187 | mainly cvs. |
14:16.44 | michaelnovakjr | cvs is a tool |
14:17.03 | Dougie187 | yeah but ive heard cvs used as an acronym to describe SVN for example. |
14:17.09 | Dougie187 | since CVS isnt used much anymore. |
14:17.43 | michaelnovakjr | that would be wrong |
14:17.53 | michaelnovakjr | svn is based on cvs but its not a type of cvs |
14:18.07 | michaelnovakjr | cvs stands for concurrent versioning system |
14:18.24 | Dougie187 | well ive heard cvs meaning content versioning system. |
14:18.41 | Dougie187 | so thats just how i think of most of these things. |
14:19.06 | michaelnovakjr | hm, i don't think i've heard that one before |
14:19.37 | Dougie187 | well thats cool. |
14:19.41 | Dougie187 | ill have to look into git and trac. |
14:19.54 | michaelnovakjr | definitely, excellent tools |
14:20.05 | Dougie187 | hows your ps3 going? |
14:20.15 | michaelnovakjr | not bad... haven't played too much |
14:20.22 | michaelnovakjr | been playing euro2008 on xbox |
14:20.43 | Dougie187 | yeah i remember you telling me that. |
14:20.57 | Dougie187 | then a day later that guy was like "Who wanted to know about the European Cup?" |
14:21.15 | michaelnovakjr | haha |
14:21.21 | michaelnovakjr | its a cool game on xbox |
14:22.12 | Dougie187 | thats cool |
14:22.14 | Dougie187 | i havent played halo much lately. |
14:22.25 | Dougie187 | i think im going to destroy my own life. |
14:22.30 | Dougie187 | becuase im going to get back into diablo 2. |
14:22.31 | Dougie187 | lol |
14:22.53 | michaelnovakjr | haha |
14:23.10 | Dougie187 | have you heard of time vault? |
14:23.24 | michaelnovakjr | i might have |
14:23.39 | Dougie187 | its like a backup system for linux. |
14:23.40 | michaelnovakjr | it sounds familiar but i dont remember anything past that :) |
14:23.43 | Dougie187 | heh |
14:23.51 | Dougie187 | basically a linux answer for timecapsule for max. |
14:23.54 | Dougie187 | mac* |
14:23.55 | michaelnovakjr | ah yes... |
14:24.00 | michaelnovakjr | do you use it? |
14:24.05 | Dougie187 | no, i had a friend use it. |
14:24.09 | Dougie187 | and i thought it would be cool. |
14:24.11 | michaelnovakjr | good? |
14:24.16 | Dougie187 | but i think its still in beta. |
14:24.18 | Dougie187 | im not sure though. |
14:24.21 | Dougie187 | it was pretty good. |
14:24.32 | Dougie187 | he said it wasnt really useful because his backups weren't backed up. |
14:24.32 | Dougie187 | lol |
14:24.38 | Dougie187 | it was just on his laptop. |
14:24.39 | michaelnovakjr | yea, i haven't used it.... but then again i've never used time machine either :) |
14:24.43 | michaelnovakjr | haha |
14:25.08 | Dougie187 | do you like mandriva more then OSX? |
14:25.12 | michaelnovakjr | for my scm server(s) i created a backing up system tied in with hooks |
14:25.15 | michaelnovakjr | yea |
14:25.46 | michaelnovakjr | after commit the file is sent to the other server where the update is applied |
14:26.07 | Dougie187 | thats cool |
14:26.19 | michaelnovakjr | that way if the one goes under nothing is lost |
14:27.12 | Dougie187 | thats always good. |
14:27.28 | Dougie187 | lol i was in this meeting a while ago, with my wife's boss, and their database company. |
14:27.43 | Dougie187 | and he was like our data is backed up to two remote locations, so if one of them goes down you are still fine. |
14:27.52 | Dougie187 | and i go yeah, but if both go down, your completely screwed. |
14:28.00 | Dougie187 | and hes like hahaha..... yeah..... |
14:28.01 | Dougie187 | :( |
14:28.05 | michaelnovakjr | haha |
14:28.12 | Dougie187 | it was funny. |
14:28.20 | michaelnovakjr | my second machine backs up to tape :) |
14:28.26 | michaelnovakjr | but not on every commit |
14:28.28 | Dougie187 | tape is always good. |
14:28.34 | michaelnovakjr | so there's a slight hole |
14:28.45 | michaelnovakjr | once a day it backs up to tape |
14:29.34 | Dougie187 | tape is pretty slow isnt it? |
14:30.17 | michaelnovakjr | :) |

17:18.12 | jasta | morrildl_: did you read all that backlog i sent you yesterday? |
17:18.33 | morrildl_ | jasta: I did read it, yes |
17:18.37 | morrildl_ | very good points, thanks |
17:19.07 | morrildl_ | I'm told that the current thinking is closer to ASF than to Ubuntu or Debian |
17:19.35 | morrildl_ | ...and of course we have lots of ASF expats in the Google open source office, and Google's preferred license is ASL 2.0, so that probably says a lot too :) |
17:23.07 | jasta | well, the license and the organization are two different things ;) |
17:23.27 | morrildl_ | True. |
17:24.23 | muthu | hey morrildl_ |
17:25.06 | jasta | morrildl_: so do i understand this correctly that a big roadblock at present is just figuring out how to manage the project? |
17:25.06 | muthu | for adc2 next year, can the adc 1 winners participate with a different app? |
17:25.17 | morrildl_ | jasta: roadblock for what/ |
17:25.18 | morrildl_ | ? |
17:25.39 | michaelnovakjr | <PROTECTED> |
17:25.42 | jasta | morrildl_: for releasing the source and/or next sdk? you made it seem yesterday that the launch of source and the next SDK were not actually logically related to handset launch |
17:25.56 | morrildl_ | muthu: rules for ADC2 are not yet written, but I hope that should be the case |
17:26.03 | jasta | and i was skeptical, if you recall :) |
17:26.09 | muthu | morrildl_: cool, thanks |
17:26.21 | morrildl_ | jasta: the source release and the SDK release are two separate efforts, with mostly-separate teams |
17:26.40 | morrildl_ | the source release is more or less gated on handset availability, yes |
17:26.48 | morrildl_ | the SDK release has other unrelated blockers |
17:27.01 | michaelnovakjr | gr |
17:27.03 | morrildl_ | I am involved in the SDK team, and I lurk on the open-source team |
17:27.24 | Dougie187 | lol any idea when the sdk is coming out? |
17:27.39 | morrildl_ | Dougie187: no :( |
17:28.02 | michaelnovakjr | it would be nice to know if it will be before devices are available |
17:28.19 | jasta | it would be nice to know what "unrelated blockers" means too ;) |
17:28.23 | morrildl_ | michaelnovakjr: as far as I know, yes |
17:28.38 | michaelnovakjr | :) |
17:28.45 | michaelnovakjr | hopefully not a week ;) |
17:28.57 | morrildl_ | michaelnovakjr: the point being that we ideally want the 1.0-final SDK out far enough in advance of 1.0-final devices to be useful |
17:29.02 | jasta | that would be the most absurdly stressful week ever ;0 |
17:29.18 | michaelnovakjr | haha morrildl_ that seems fair enough |
17:29.31 | jasta | morrildl_: far enough in advance would mean at least a month for most of us. |
17:30.09 | morrildl_ | jasta: I do know now what the "unrelated blockers" are, but they are one of those things I can't talk about |
17:30.51 | Dougie187 | lol |
17:30.55 | morrildl_ | hopefully we'll get more than a month |
17:30.57 | Dougie187 | disappoint. |
17:31.20 | michaelnovakjr | morrildl_ that's cool..... but if you see those "unrelated blockers" do me a favor and kick them in the shins :) |
17:31.24 | morrildl_ | the 1.0 final might not be out, but the current SDKs are relatively stable now |
17:31.28 | morrildl_ | michaelnovakjr: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
17:31.40 | morrildl_ | michaelnovakjr: you have. *No.* *Idea.* |
17:31.45 | michaelnovakjr | :) |
17:31.48 | jasta | morrildl_: by current you mean internally? |
17:32.03 | jasta | surely not m5, right? |
17:32.04 | morrildl_ | jasta: basically yes |
17:32.09 | morrildl_ | certainly not M5 |
17:32.14 | michaelnovakjr | jasta, i'd hope he doesn't mean the one from march :) |
17:32.23 | jasta | michaelnovakjr: *February*. |
17:32.31 | morrildl_ | The delta from M5 to current is pretty significant |
17:32.31 | michaelnovakjr | ah yes |
17:32.47 | jasta | morrildl_: which is what we'd all assumed. |
17:32.48 | michaelnovakjr | hence the hault on development :) |
17:32.54 | morrildl_ | conceptually not that much has changed (meaning we aren't going to change how Activities work out from under you or something), but there are a lot of tweaks |
17:33.00 | jasta | yeah, as michaelnovakjr said, we assumed that to be true, and stopped development in response. |
17:33.11 | morrildl_ | jasta, michaelnovakjr: indeed, perfectly reasonable. |
17:33.21 | morrildl_ | I would do the same in your shoes |
17:33.27 | michaelnovakjr | i figured less headaches later on |
17:33.48 | michaelnovakjr | figuring out a solution is never fun with broken code :) |
17:34.04 | morrildl_ | hehehehe |
17:34.11 | jasta | teehee, just looking at a calendar now |
17:34.19 | morrildl_ | gaaah! |
17:34.20 | morrildl_ | no! |
17:34.21 | jasta | it's been 5 months since the last significant public release |
17:34.22 | morrildl_ | don't do that! |
17:34.25 | michaelnovakjr | haha |
17:34.34 | morrildl_ | has become afraid of calendars |
17:34.34 | morrildl_ | ;) |
17:34.35 | Dougie187 | lol |
17:34.45 | jasta | almost half a year |
17:34.46 | Dougie187 | id like to see morrildl's calendar |
17:34.48 | michaelnovakjr | :) |
17:34.53 | michaelnovakjr | i wouldn't :) |
17:34.54 | morrildl_ | Dougie187: you can have it, if you want it :P |
17:35.06 | morrildl_ | jasta: yup |
17:35.08 | Dougie187 | hah |
17:35.35 | michaelnovakjr | well jasta when you put it like that.... damn |
17:35.39 | michaelnovakjr | :) |
17:35.41 | morrildl_ | I think back on the conversations we had back in the day when we were planning on bimonthly releases |
17:35.47 | morrildl_ | ahhhh, youth. |
17:35.49 | morrildl_ | :P |
17:35.50 | michaelnovakjr | haha |
17:36.10 | michaelnovakjr | that's a crankin' release schedule |
17:36.18 | michaelnovakjr | some real optimistic developers huh? |
17:36.25 | morrildl_ | well, the SDKs are generated as part of the build |
17:36.26 | jasta | yeah, or like how you said you guys would definitely get a bug fix release out a month before the Apr 14th deadline |
17:36.38 | Dougie187 | lol |
17:36.47 | morrildl_ | that's what RC37 was |
17:36.49 | Dougie187 | i think we can go on and on about things they have said. |
17:37.00 | morrildl_ | or whatever the most recent one was |
17:37.07 | morrildl_ | I mean it's WHY we extended the deadline :) |
17:37.18 | michaelnovakjr | which was a good thing :) |
17:37.22 | morrildl_ | hehehe |
17:37.33 | michaelnovakjr | i wasn't very proactive |
17:37.37 | morrildl_ | heh |
17:38.02 | michaelnovakjr | well i was, but wrote the whole back end first so the client was starved a bit |

17:38.52 | jasta | morrildl_: rc37? that's m3. m5 had only 1 significant release, and it was early Feb. |
17:39.15 | jasta | there was some trivial security bug fix release after that in Mar or something, but it contained no functional changes. |
17:40.29 | morrildl_ | hmm |
17:40.49 | morrildl_ | okay that must be what I was thinking of :) |
17:41.13 | muthu | morrildl_: get the devices out fast ;) |

17:42.31 | Dougie187 | and the flood gates are open. |
17:42.55 | morrildl_ | yeah I guess you're right, rc15 had docs changes |
17:43.04 | morrildl_ | I thought there were a couple emulator fixes in there too, but I guess I was wrong |

21:27.44 | jasta | as in, before handset launch? |
21:27.52 | jasta | i think its one of the weaker parts of the Android UX... |
21:28.16 | jasta | its very awkward to have to "drag it down", it should just be able to pop up on its own from a press in the status bar |
21:28.28 | zhobbs | jasta: you can fling it |
21:28.31 | jasta | and it should be a little less generalized |
21:28.32 | zhobbs | it's kinda cool |
21:28.46 | jasta | so that the information can be specialized, such as posting a generic View to it |
21:28.46 | *** join/#android maynards-girl (n=maynards@c-24-126-48-190.hsd1.wv.comcast.net) |
21:29.25 | jasta | and it should maybe not even exist when there is only one notification. for example, if you get a calendar reminder, why not just make pressing the bar go right to the calendar event? |
21:30.03 | *** join/#android mxcl (n=mxcl@monolith.wefixtech.co.uk) |
21:30.15 | jasta | zhobbs: even at the keynote you saw Andy struggling with it. he had to press twice to get it to slid eright. |
21:30.23 | jasta | it's an awkward and unintuitive interface |
21:32.26 | jasta | even if you change nothing else, it should not be necessary that you "slide" it down. |
21:32.31 | jasta | pressing the title bar should open it |
21:33.52 | jasta | perhaps it could still "slide out" visually, but without requiring that gesture |
21:33.52 | michaelnovakjr | yea, i've tried it and don't really like that |
21:34.02 | jasta | ive even tried it on a physical handset |
21:34.08 | michaelnovakjr | :) |
21:34.09 | jasta | and it felt even more awkward there than on the emulator |
21:34.31 | michaelnovakjr | the other thing was deactivated touch screen while call was in progress |
21:34.37 | michaelnovakjr | don't like that |
21:34.53 | jasta | yeah but that has to be the case |
21:35.03 | michaelnovakjr | it should at least be a preference |
21:35.04 | jasta | otherwise people will hang up on each other all the time |
21:35.21 | jasta | i think the strategy there is to just have physical buttons to end call |
21:35.24 | michaelnovakjr | not when your screen turns off |
21:35.36 | jasta | well thats true |
21:35.56 | jasta | or perhaps they could implement a proximity sensor ;0 |
21:36.07 | jasta | to determine when the phone is near your head |
21:36.14 | jasta | that would be slick as hell hehe |
21:39.19 | michaelnovakjr | haha |
21:39.23 | michaelnovakjr | i like that idea |
21:44.01 | jasta | probably not good for costs :) |
21:44.52 | jasta | actually, you could probably do it with a simple light sensor |
21:45.09 | jasta | when the surface of the phone becomes very dark while in a call, its probably against their face |
21:45.10 | f00f- | well |
21:45.15 | f00f- | N95 has a proximity sensor |
21:45.20 | michaelnovakjr | :) |
21:45.20 | f00f- | to adjust screen backlight |
21:45.33 | jasta | f00f-: are you sure that's not an ambient light sensor? my phone has one of those. |
21:45.54 | f00f- | ok maybe it is |
21:47.45 | tethridge | the proximity sensor is a big deal for me. |
21:47.56 | jasta | ? |
21:48.11 | tethridge | if I can't perform the use case that stevo did while on a call, then I'm not getting an android phone |
21:48.31 | tethridge | you know, on a call, check for movie times, send email with picture, etc |
21:48.54 | tethridge | if I have a touch screen phone, I expect it to be just as fancy as the iPhone. |
21:49.01 | tethridge | I'm sure most users will feel the same way |
21:49.35 | tethridge | if android is just the software, then it should allow manufacturers to add the sensor if they want |
21:49.43 | jasta | tethridge: doesn't the iphone also disable the touch screen while in a call though? |
21:49.47 | michaelnovakjr | and mod the os |
21:49.53 | michaelnovakjr | not sure |
21:50.01 | michaelnovakjr | win mobile doesn't :} |
21:50.06 | tethridge | jasta, no |
21:50.17 | jasta | oh, it looks like thy have a sensor for this as well |
21:50.23 | tethridge | if you pull it away from your face you can continue talking on speaker phone while you surf |
21:50.38 | tethridge | check email, etc |
21:50.40 | jasta | yup sure enough, it has a proximity sensor |
21:50.44 | romainguy_ | the iPhone turns off the touch screen with a proximity sensor |
21:50.46 | jasta | weird, i just made up that solution :) |
21:50.58 | jasta | i had no idea real hardware ever used something like that |
21:50.59 | tethridge | I thought you were joking |
21:51.10 | romainguy_ | jasta: even digital cameras use that now |
21:51.44 | jasta | the iphone also seems to have an ambient light sensor |
21:52.00 | jasta | i didnt know any of this when i was talking just a minute ago hehe |
21:52.27 | romainguy_ | you must be a genius then |
21:55.10 | jasta | im not usually very good at sensible user experience design, so i just surprised myself by guessing at the design the iphone has ;) |
21:55.38 | jasta | romainguy_: do you know if visual voicemail is planned for any android devices? is there a patent problem here? |
21:56.09 | tethridge | I think that there is patent issues, but I've heard of other companies rolling it out already |
21:56.26 | jasta | hmm, looks like apple was sued over patent infringement for the feature |
21:56.32 | tethridge | I can't remember what company it was, but I remember it being a big one, like sprint or verizon |
21:57.33 | jasta | it seems as though you could do it third party though |
21:57.50 | jasta | i used to use YouMail, for example, and it seems like using that service you could hack something very nice together |
21:57.55 | jasta | or even cooperate with them to natively support it |
21:58.26 | romainguy_ | jasta: unfortunately I can't answer that kind of question until the answer is public :) |
21:58.36 | jasta | that means yes |
21:58.41 | yakischloba | duh |
21:59.01 | romainguy_ | jasta: no, that means I cannot answer the question, no matter what the answer is |
21:59.28 | jasta | i'm taking it to mean yes, whether you want to clarify or not ;) |
21:59.51 | jasta | glances over at his phone with 65 "new" voicemails |
21:59.56 | romainguy_ | you speculate and guess way too much based on way too little information |
22:00.06 | romainguy_ | it's a very bad habit that you have :p |
22:00.33 | jasta | that's a matter of opinion |
22:00.38 | jasta | if i did not, then i would not have adopted Android. |
22:00.40 | jasta | nor would anyone have. |
22:01.03 | jasta | Sometimes, people refer to this bizarre, unhealthy habit as "faith". |
22:01.30 | jasta | And I think you might find a crushing wave of people who don't think it's such a bad habit at all. |
22:02.34 | romainguy_ | there's a huge difference between having faith in Android and deciding whether Android will have visual voicemail based on the fact that I cannot answer the question |
22:03.03 | jasta | romainguy_: right, but you assumed i wasn't joking |
22:03.25 | romainguy_ | aah... the joke argument :) |
22:03.39 | jasta | it isn't an argument, i was joking. you just didn't know that. |
22:04.04 | jasta | that said, there's not such a huge difference between faith and speculating way too much based on way too little information. |
22:04.35 | duey | i won adc |
22:04.44 | jasta | the danger, of course, is that you can misplace your faith, as I have likely done so. |
22:05.19 | tethridge | congrats duey |
22:05.23 | jasta | duey: ? |
22:05.23 | duey | i was joking |
22:05.39 | tethridge | so, care to share something with the group? |
22:05.41 | duey | runs away |
22:05.47 | jasta | that was odd |
