01:01.23mohbanaany idea when android is due in the uk?
01:02.13f00f-couple of months
01:05.33snadgemy flatmate loaded android onto his htc tytn ii
01:06.04snadgeits a little bit buggy as one would expect.. but for the most part, it works
01:06.43snadgei wonder if android is going to be ported to existing phones.. in a supported way, or whether they will always remain unofficial projects
01:07.03umdk1d3well everything will be opensourced
01:07.31umdk1d3so i suppose you could write whatever you need to hack it onto your device
01:07.31snadgeof course, so the decision is left mainly to the mobile phone manufacturers themselves.. as to whether they will port a new operating system to existing phones.. and my guess is, they will not want to do this
01:07.39umdk1d3however, some handware isnt up to the job
01:08.12umdk1d3for example, the n810 doesnt have a good-enough framebuffer
01:08.21umdk1d3which is why it only runs m3 iirc
01:08.27snadgeyeah, so my guess is.. things like android on tytn ii.. will remain an "enthusiast" project which lands you smack bang in the middle of "unsupported" territory ;)
01:09.10snadgebut no doubt, these community projects will continue to improve anyway.. potentially even to the point where you could discard windows mobile from that phone entirely
01:09.17umdk1d3true
01:09.32umdk1d3the bootloader is the hardest part probably
01:09.44umdk1d3getting it just right without completely bricking the device
01:09.47snadgeyeah at the moment, he has it stored on an SD card
01:09.57umdk1d3right now doesnt it just "replace" winmo without actually power cycling the device?
01:10.04snadgeand he has to double click the boot loader from within winmo
01:10.08umdk1d3yea  :/
01:10.14umdk1d3which make sense, its the first step
01:10.24umdk1d3and bootloader stuff is hard and custom work usually
01:10.40snadgewell i was assuming as this project matures to the point where its more stable
01:10.54snadgethat you'll be able to install it in place of winmo
01:11.01snadgemaybe even dual boot, that would be cool ;)
01:11.12umdk1d3lol dual boot cell phones
01:11.34snadgeyeah.. turn it off, turn it on.. and it asks "winmo or android" :p
01:11.59snadgelike grub
01:14.33Dougie187what a waste of time though.
01:14.44Dougie187if you could use something else, why would you touch winmo?
01:15.06snadgesimple.. one is supported by your phone provider, one isnt
01:15.18snadgelike anyone who dual boots windows with linux
01:16.02Dougie187noone dual boots windows because the computers don't come with linux on them.
01:16.08snadgechances are, winmo has an application or something you need which android doesnt
01:16.09Dougie187they dual boot because they can't run stuff they want on linux.
01:16.26Dougie187i don't think anyone would find dual booting a cell phone to be useful enough to do that though
01:16.30f00f-i got rid of linux :)
01:16.33f00f-i'm all XP now
01:16.34umdk1d3=O
01:16.38umdk1d3srsly?
01:16.42f00f-well i bought a new lappy
01:16.43Dougie187lol f00f- your a loser.
01:16.45f00f-havent put linux on it
01:16.48snadgeor the situation where somethings not working properly.. and you want to get some support.. you boot into winmo, and then ring up.. and pretend you dont have android on your phone (which is unsupported)
01:16.56f00f-i've spent 10 years using linux
01:16.57Dougie187so you didn't get rid of linux, you just didnt get rid of xp.
01:17.05snadgeif the phone comes with android and android is a supported platform for that phone.. theres is NO point in dual booting
01:17.13f00f-and it's still hit for the notebook/laptop industry
01:17.17f00f-although i have stringent requirements
01:17.28f00f-`it must not crash randomly after updates` being one of them
01:18.01f00f-do you think someone will try to run winmo on their android device?
01:18.03umdk1d3<3 atheros wifi
01:18.05Dougie187snadge: i still don't think it would be useful enough to try t odo.
01:18.13f00f-is it even possible ?
01:18.20Dougie187who knows.
01:18.26snadgemeaning that less people would be encouraged to try android on a phone where its not supported
01:18.38umdk1d3hmm
01:18.46snadgei mean.. what kind of an IDIOT would replace their supported mobile phone platform.. with one which is unsupported, and have no choice to go back easily
01:18.49umdk1d3well android is all java unless you provide some sort of emulation library
01:19.13umdk1d3so doing os-emulation is pretty much out of the question on dalvik
01:19.40Adamantwell there are mini-OS'es written for JVM
01:19.56Adamantbut you can't do WIndows or whatever on it
01:19.57snadgethe fact that you can try android, by booting into winmo and launching the boot loader.. is awesome, means people can try it.. without bricking their phone
01:20.34snadgebut its of limited use if you wanted to use it more often than not.. and inconvenient that you have to boot into winmo first.. hence, a dual boot option not only makes sense.. would be awesome
01:21.41snadgeits not going to happen though :)
01:22.34snadgeim just going to buy a dream when they come out and be done with it.. im not going to stuff around trying to run android on things that its not supposed to
01:22.39Dougie187i still don't see the use in dual booting.
01:22.46Dougie187i think anyone who wants android will just go all out
01:22.59Dougie187or leave the recovery option in their phone so they can flash it back to normal as needed.
01:23.00Dougie187but ionno
01:23.03snadgeunless it doesnt work 100% on that phone
01:23.23snadgein which case, i guess you woudln't be interested in using it
01:23.36snadgebut maybe its an obscure function that you dont often use anyway
01:23.56Dougie187I can't imagine a person dual booting a phone for one app though.
01:24.01snadgeflashing back and forth is not a practical option
01:24.04Dougie187as opposed to windows vs. linux on a laptop i could see it.
01:24.09Dougie187no not flashing back and forth.
01:24.17Dougie187flashing if you need to send your phone in for repair or something.
01:24.22Dougie187otherwise leaving android on it.
01:24.37snadgeyeah i dont see that .. especially on unsupported models
01:24.44snadgeyou're not going to leave android on it
01:24.48snadgeunless it works perfectly
01:24.55Dougie187thats why you leave the flashing method.
01:24.59Dougie187so you can flash it back if you need to.
01:25.06Dougie187defaults back to winmo
01:25.12snadgei guess.. then theres the "coolness" factor
01:25.21Dougie187coolness?
01:25.28snadgebooting into android, just for giggles .. or "because you can"
01:25.34Dougie187dual booting doesn't have a coolness.
01:25.35snadgeto show somebody something, or whatever
01:25.42Dougie187well just boot the emulator on your comp
01:25.51snadgeor to boast that your phone can boot into multiple operating systems
01:25.56Dougie187or go buy a compatible phone.
01:26.05snadgehehe
01:26.54snadgetriple boot with symbian for bonus points ;)
01:27.08Dougie187if you can fit all that stuff on your phone.
01:28.14snadgei guess what i really need to know is.. if i buy a htc dream when im in the uk or usa in november
01:28.25snadgewill i be able to use it in australia
01:28.30Dougie187noone knows yet.
01:28.48Dougie187you'll have to wait and see if they have it released in australia yet.
01:28.54Dougie187or you could call tmobile and see after it comes out.
01:28.58snadgeim assuming the answer is yes .. i mean, google is going on about how android is supposed to be fair and unlocked etc
01:29.02Dougie187though they probably won't be able to help you.
01:29.13Dougie187fair and unlocked?
01:29.22Dougie187ive heard "open"
01:29.30Dougie187unlocked is up to the carriers afaik.
01:29.35snadgewell .. maybe the reporting on it has been confused
01:29.48snadgepeople confusing "open" with "unlocked"
01:30.03Dougie187yeah
01:30.05snadgesince they have no idea what open really means ;)
01:30.24snadgebut i believe i read a statement saying that google doesnt want it to be locked into providers etc
01:30.33snadgethat you should be able to freely change between network providers
01:30.44Dougie187yeah, but i don't think that call is up to google alone.
01:30.52Dougie187thats something you have to get the providers to agree to
01:30.52snadgeit should be
01:31.10Dougie187or else they won't sell your phones.
01:31.20snadgeit should be a condition of using android that you're not under contract to any particular mobile phone network and have the ability to change
01:31.41Dougie187yeah i can't imaging that happening.
01:31.43snadgebut then they risk providers not using android
01:32.00snadgei personally think its wrong
01:32.09Dougie187but thats a personal opinion.
01:32.16snadgewhat kind of business says.. okay, i'll sell you something.. but on the condition that you only buy from me, and you cant buy from anyone else for 2 years
01:32.24Dougie187and definitely not how the carriers view business practicies.
01:32.25snadgethat should be illegal
01:32.45snadgeits anticompetetive.. and if its not illegal, at the very least its immoral
01:33.00f00f-skip the U.S. market and don't think back! :D
01:33.21snadgecoming back to another point.. most phones, even if they are locked.. can be "unlocked"
01:33.46snadgewhether thats legal or not is irrelevant .. if i can buy a tmobile in america, and then unlock it.. and use it in australia.. i will
01:34.20unix_infidelwell, most of the first generation iphones made in the US were essentially shipped back to where they were made, china.
01:34.31*** part/#android Dougie187 (n=doug@68.35.245.156)
01:34.34unix_infidelhttp://uk.youtube.com/user/GoogleDevelopers
01:34.39unix_infidelomfg, funniest talk ever.
01:35.04snadgeiphones .. first or second gen.. can be unlocked though right?
01:35.13snadgein fact, as far as i understand, its even trivial to do
01:35.40Adamantfirst gen can be unlocked easilyt
01:35.43unix_infidelfirst generation i believe is fairly trivial, second generation i dont think has been done yet.
01:35.44snadgenot that i would ever buy an iphone, which is why i cant speak authoritatively about them
01:35.44Adamant3G cannot
01:36.16Adamantget an ITouch, they're pretty decent as a media player with "extras"
01:36.17snadgeoh.. so theres a good chance that the tmobile wont be able to be unlocked then :(
01:36.18Adamantand no contract
01:36.46snadgei obviously cant buy it unless i can be sure it can be unlocked
01:36.55snadgeeven if theres a "legit" way to do it that costs money .. i'll consider that
01:37.45unix_infidelwell, hopefully you wont need to "unlock" the android phone.
01:37.58f00f-unix_infidel: you were being sarcastic. you fool. you made me watch that!
01:38.31unix_infideli have a feeling that the first generation handset will suck though. android itself is already pretty solid.
01:38.41unix_infidelf00f-: meh, it has it's funny parts.
01:38.49unix_infidelI totally agree on the rails stuf.
01:38.51Adamantunix_infidel: I'm not sure. HTC makes really good handsets
01:39.07Adamantunix_infidel: is that the DjangoCon one?
01:39.11unix_infidelAdamant: agreed, but will they make a good handset this time for an open source OS with no kickbacks?
01:39.15unix_infidelAdamant: yea.
01:39.19Adamantwhy not?
01:39.28Adamantthey get paid for the phone, not the OS
01:39.41Adamantnow they don't even have to license WinMo
01:40.18unix_infidelAdamant: right, they dont have a market edge, any OEM could work with google the next day and compete, do they have an incentive?  maybe.
01:40.36AdamantWInMo is not a market edge
01:40.43Adamanteveryone and their brother licenses it
01:40.55Adamantand not every OEM can produce a HTC quality phone
01:41.04Adamantin fact most can't even come close
01:41.19unix_infidelAdamant: we'll see, I'm cautiously optimistic.
01:41.34Adamantmost of the competition for HTC will be downmarket
01:41.47Adamantcheaper and less featureful smartphones
01:41.57unix_infidelhope the pricing stays under 300-400.
01:42.10*** join/#android BlackBsd (n=brian@72.168.193.117)
01:42.20Adamanthigh pricing for some model is fine, if you're getting a really awesome phone
01:42.56unix_infidelagreed, but there are a billion ways for this deal to screw the consumer over.
01:43.16unix_infidelas usual in this market segment.
01:43.25Adamantif they start screwing consumers they won't be able to differentiate themselves
01:43.59Adamantif you want a really nice phone run by a control freak company and carrier, the iPhone already exists
01:44.51unix_infideli need a new phone pretty bad, i'll probably get an android phone regardless.
01:45.30Adamantif they don't keep the quality up on Android, then people will just keep buying WinMo since they can buy that already for less
01:46.06unix_infidelwhat's licensing cost for windows mobile like
01:46.19Adamantno idea
01:46.43Adamantprobably more than getting support for using Android in a phone
01:48.07Adamantone thing I do hope is that Google gets better designers working on Android 2.0's look and feel
01:48.47AdamantI'm pretty much accepting at this point that the UI will not be as nice as the iPhone, except that I can actually type
01:50.54AdamantGoogle can do pretty good design when it wants to.
01:53.27duey<3 chrome
01:53.29unix_infidelmeh, the design is functional enough.
01:53.30Adamantapologizes if I offended any lurking Android UI designers, I'm sure they worked hard
01:54.16dueywhats wrong with the current android ui
01:54.20dueybetter than most
01:54.22*** join/#android rob-cs (n=chatzill@c-68-33-22-200.hsd1.md.comcast.net)
01:54.24unix_infidelthere's no way to say it's a couple years late, because we dont know when the design aspect was production ready.
01:54.54Adamantduey: it just doesn't look really visually appealing
01:55.06Adamantit's not bad
01:55.11dueyso you would prefer a vista UI?
01:55.15Adamantit's definitely not as ugly as WinMo
01:55.20dueyyou dont wont to overkill the ui
01:55.24Adamantduey: think Apple, not MS
01:55.33dueybecause it takes your concentration away from the task
01:55.43dueysure but you cant blatently copy apple ui
01:55.53Adamantduey: right but you can do one as good
01:56.21Adamantanyway. UI gets really subjective and personal beyond stuff like efficency which you can quantify
01:56.35unix_infideli think the usability principles are all there.
01:56.48unix_infidelthe design stuff really is trivial, as long as the framework is as extensible as they say it is.
01:57.11Adamantunix_infidel: it's so trivial that only a handful of companies get it right
01:57.44Adamantmaking things look really nice is not easy.
01:58.00unix_infidelAdamant: well this isnt a company. this is a community of people doing what they want because they can.
01:58.03Adamantotherwise they'd pay good designers less.
01:58.28Adamantunix_infidel: right, I'm not talking about imposing one true UI/look
01:58.36unix_infidelgoogle is counting on good designers contributing to the project.
01:58.36Adamantbut the default one should be really nice
01:58.54Adamantunix_infidel: that's not a bright move
01:59.10Adamantmost designers could give a shit about open source. they want to be paid
01:59.39Adamantthey've happily work on open source if paid to do so
01:59.46Adamant*they'll
01:59.50unix_infidelreally, that's why there are a bajillion different themes for firefox, windows xp, great open source applications that are well designed.
02:00.02Adamantugh
02:00.30unix_infidelyou create an open market coupled with a marketplace.  you get incentive from both ends.
02:00.41Adamantmost of those themes are craptastic. I don't believe in blocking people from loading them if they want, but that's not an excuse not to have a nice default theme
02:01.08Adamantand you'll notice Firefox 3 is heavily influenced by Safari's theme
02:01.36Adamantwhich was done by designers getting paid by a proprietary company
02:01.40unix_infidelWindows XP's theme is pretty crappy too. Once you hack together extensibility for something designers and engineers could potentially use everyday you are not without involvement.
02:01.56SanMehatAdamant: I've been doing open source since linux 0.99pl13.
02:02.01SanMehatAdamant: and I work on Android...
02:02.30AdamantSanMehat: as a designer?
02:02.52SanMehatAdamant: i do design parts of it. many do.
02:03.04AdamantUI-wise?
02:03.18SanMehatNo, more the stuff under the hood.
02:03.22Adamantyeah.
02:03.31SanMehator some of it... but as I said.. many people are involved with the design.
02:04.12SanMehatanyways, I only bring it up because I take exception to your comment about 'most designers not giving a shit about open source'... at least when it comes to the Android team.. I strongly disagree :)
02:05.00AdamantSanMehat: software designers and engineering type love open source. I'm one of those and I love it
02:05.52gambler<Adamant> most designers could give a shit about open source. they want to be paid
02:06.06Adamantbut I have to admit that most open source UI's are crappy and that work with graphic/UI/usability people is necessary to make a good UI, and those people don't particularly care about open source
02:06.17SanMehathang on, SIGWIFE
02:06.19Adamantnot saying Android UI is crappy, it isn't
02:06.34Adamantit's probably about as good as Firefox's
02:06.43Adamantwhich is pretty good for open source
02:07.16SanMehatsorry back.
02:07.28Adamantgambler: I should have clarified that. I'm not taking about the usual software dev, but graphics types
02:08.10Adamantand I only know a handful of graphics types but none of them I have met care about that sort of stuff much if at all
02:08.22SanMehatyou may want to discuss it with romainguy_ at some point :)
02:08.41Adamantah, he can beat me for my comments then
02:09.36f00f-$SIG{'WIFE'} = undef;
02:09.50unix_infidelSanMehat: going to bug you by email, the on in your /whois ircname is valid?
02:09.58unix_infidelone*
02:10.17Adamantanyway, I think nobody's yet gotten around having to pay graphic/UI/usability people significant money to make them work on things happily.
02:10.32Adamantand to get really good ones.
02:11.06yakischlobalast I checked the people working on android were getting paid
02:11.11yakischlobaand the UI is pretty outstanding
02:11.35yakischlobaseems to me that the difference between androids UI and the iphones is all personal preference
02:12.07Adamantyakischloba: I'm probably just being a big Apple-design fanboy spoiled baby

02:20.37gamblerbecause I wanted a really good one...that wasnt supposed to break
02:20.49Adamantboth of which will give you a better workout and not break
02:20.59gamblerI also got a complete dumbell set with that
02:21.02Adamantah
02:21.20AdamantI just use adjustable Oly dumbbells
02:22.03gamblerI got those hexagonal ones...they are mostly for show though because I F ed up my elbow playing tennis
02:22.09Adamantah
02:23.04gamblerthe adjustables are ok but I figured it would be a big pain to adjust them
02:23.33plusminus_SensorManager.getSensors() returns 0 within the emulator ...? is that correct ?
02:24.03Adamantbuy 3 cheap set, put good collars on them, and then use Oly plates for both your dumbbell and barbell
02:24.11Adamantmuch cheaper in the long run.
02:24.36unix_infidelagreed.
02:25.05unix_infideli need to look into getting a weight vest too.  used to be able to run an 8 minute mile after I trained with that thing.
02:25.08*** part/#android cbeust (n=cbeust@64-142-66-175.dsl.static.sonic.net)
02:25.35Adamantunix_infidel: Vmax is good for max weight, and the SmartVest is good for comfortable lighter weights
02:25.50Adamantfor running only you'd probably want a SmartVest
02:26.34Adamantthose are the fancy ones, you can also redneck-rig a boxing weight vest for jogging and running but it won't be as comfortable
02:27.00Adamantthey're more made for doing cathelstics
02:27.08unix_infidelAdamant: i usually do lighter weights for any jogging and and heavy weights for sprints.
02:27.39Adamantwell Vmax goes up to 84pds and is designed for weight lifters and firefighters to get real use out of
02:27.56yakischlobayou mean "calisthentics"?
02:28.06yakischlobacalisthenics*
02:28.08gambleryakischloba, that diamond studded model sounds like pure sex :p
02:28.28yakischlobagambler: yeah man I figured you'd have been all over it. Mine is awesome.
02:28.41yakischlobagambler: it hasn't broken either ;
02:28.42yakischloba;)
02:28.48Adamantwhereas the Smartvest goes to 20 or 30 or 40 (I forget), but few people run over 20 pds anyway since it starts getting dangerous
02:28.59Adamantand it's much more comfortable and natural
02:29.23Adamantthey're both adjustable so you can adjust them up and down within limits
02:29.25yakischlobahey if you want some extra weight to run with, take a desk job and start drinking a lot.
02:29.30gambleryakischloba, I need that equipment to deal with the mad tilt I experience every day doing you know what
02:29.40Adamantyakischloba: already done it, that's why I'm working out
02:29.55yakischlobaheh

03:17.35gamblerhere is fine, there are plenty of knowledgeable people here.
03:18.15gamblerI have a question actually, if I write OpenGL code in android, what are the chances that would auto-compile against JSR239
03:18.34gamblerIt says the systems are not identical but similiar
03:22.30f00f-very little i would think
03:22.34f00f-if you abstract it enough, maybe
03:22.44f00f-but doesn't excessive abstraction  hurt high-perf 3D stuff ;)
03:24.06romainguy_gambler: well it's OpenGL ES 1.1 basically on Android
03:24.38romainguy_but for instance you won't find many of the methods based on float/double parameters
03:25.39gamblerok. So the Canvas examples in Customised Component Examples is that OpenGL or something else
03:26.10romainguy_Canvas is the 2D API

03:30.18snadgeim looking forward to java 7 .. it will be 100% free, and the jnlp support will work with 64bit etc

03:46.54gamblersnadge, how could it be illegit
03:48.38gamblersnadge, Three has a 3G $39 6GB/month deal. They will allow you to do it no contracts. so you can run any handset on mobile broadband.
03:50.44unix_infidelgambler: hopefully the pricing in the US is near as competetive.
03:51.35unix_infidellikely tmobile will launch 3g on the same date as the android release.
03:52.42f00f-get onewithout a plan
03:52.52f00f-*contract
03:53.01f00f-i pay $25/mo for my `unlimited` data plan
03:53.08f00f-i hear iphone lusers pay $30/mo ?
03:53.10f00f-for the same thing
03:54.01unix_infideliphone users I believe are locked into buying a voice plan with data add on.
03:54.13f00f-yea
03:54.13unix_infidel(in the US)
03:54.23unix_infidel+ all applicable taxes on BOTH services.

04:10.06f00f-infra rollout for wimax
04:31.17*** join/#android unix_infidel (n=blue@unaffiliated/unixinfidel/x-8383745)
05:03.17Elijahf00f-: i see, i am sure android will be succesful without  that for now
05:12.39f00f-we'll see
05:13.51snadgegambler: i know that IF i can unlock a us based android phone.. i can use it in australia, with like you say, Three as an example
05:14.16snadgethe question really is.. how difficult is it going to be to unlock the htc dream
05:15.00snadgebecause if its going to insist upon only connecting to tmobile (for example) .. then that is going to be of no use at all to anyone in australia
05:18.43gamblerwith google driving this, I have to assume they will be anti-simlocking
05:19.04unix_infidelgambler: not true, to get distribution they have to agree to some concessions.
05:19.05f00f-no 3G gabmler down there
05:19.07snadgethats what i thought.. but apparently not
05:19.29gamblerf00f-, haha
05:20.13snadgeim going to use htc and tmobile as examples.. but lets look at it this way.. htc will know how to unsimlock using their own phones.. its the mobile carriers, eg t-mobile.. that stipulate that the sim must be locked to their network
05:20.44unix_infidelsnadge: the easier alternative is to just buy an unlocked dream and put android on it.
05:20.47f00f-no
05:20.58snadgeyes.. but will there be "unlocked" dreams for sale
05:21.02f00f-the phone is locked to a network list of (MCC, MNC) tuplets
05:21.06snadgeor will tmobile have exclusivity on that
05:21.30gamblerunix_infidel, android is a game changer. they arent looking to suck up to these carriers
05:21.45snadgei dont care if i have to pay $2000 for the phone.. if it means i own it outright and its unlocked.. whether it will be an option to purchase them outright, i would like to know
05:21.46gamblermaybe in the backwards U.S. cellular market but outside there
05:21.49unix_infidelgambler: we're all speculating, only the @'s know what's going on.
05:21.51gamblerim skeptical
05:21.56gambleryep
05:22.39snadgei understand that locking into a network is done.. so that they can give you a cheaper phone initially.. and recoup the loss on that over time
05:22.41dueygambler, android isn't a game changer
05:22.41gamblerf00f-, the phone  is locked?
05:22.42unix_infidelthere's certainly a market for an open well designed handset that works.
05:22.49dueyits open, if someone wants to lock a phone down, they can
05:22.55unix_infidelif android fills that void, so be it.
05:23.15f00f-gambler the subsidized versions
05:23.30gamblerduey, I think the philosophy of where mobiles in general are going is a game changer. We are moving to commodity platforms like i386 PCs instead of specialty devices
05:23.32unix_infidelgigaom, TC have all covered the challenges, it's up to google to respond, and they usually put a up a good fight.
05:23.34snadgewhat it sounds like .. is there will be no option to buy android based phones outright.. inititially.. until such time elapses and everyone has android phones
05:23.37gamblerits just the nature of a scale economy

05:30.42dueyI think things like free healthcare allow people to be more free

05:31.02snadgeyou kidding.. the US is so free, they can invade other countries without even consulting the rest of the world ;)
05:31.09dueyyeah well
05:31.18gamblerfree healthcare is gay. try living in canada and waiting forever to see a doctor. trust me its not fun.
05:31.31dueyat least you get to see one

05:33.54romainguy__umdk1d3: ah yes, well the 5D records 1080p at 30 fps through the lens :)
05:34.01snadgeits free if you're poor
05:34.15snadgebut you have to pay for it kinda if you make some decent coin
05:34.18snadgeand in that situation.. who cares?

05:34.29duey$15

05:34.47snadgeeven on 70k.. i can go to a doctor and get bulk billed.. ie, free consultation

15:58.42anno^da-please get this phone out with Android :-)
16:01.59lokeanno^da-: what is that? a fan-made render?
16:02.34lokeI have to admit, it looks sleek, even though my dream phone would have some face buttons (and a retractable keyboard is an absolute must)
16:03.39anno^da-loke: It is the new HTC Touch HD
16:03.48anno^da-With Windows Mobile :/
16:03.54lokeanno^da-: hmm... is there a keyboard hiding underneath?
16:04.12anno^da-I cant believe they will release the leaked Dream we know from the pics
16:04.32anno^da-hmm dont know let me see
16:04.44lokeanno^da-: sorry... I've always liked the HTV hardware, but the windows ce based os... man... it's such a travesty. I had the misfortune of having to use a motorola one for a few weeks when I was on a trip.
16:04.52lokeman, what a total didaster that thing is
16:05.13lokeanno^da-: why can't you brlieve?
16:06.43unix_lappythe only thing stopping it from being on the touch HD is drivers.
16:06.49anno^da-After all the great designs in the last years I dont believe that they will start the whole Android "project" with such an ugly device.
16:07.13anno^da-Well let me say I dont want to believe it.
16:07.17lokeI think the design is qite nice, except for the botton blob with the buttons
16:07.31anno^da-Well it doesnt look polished at all.
16:07.47lokewell that's true... Are you saying that you think it's a prototype enclosure?
16:08.45anno^da-Well I really hope so
16:08.53anno^da-So Im out now ;)
16:09.21lokehah... well, we still have a few days to hope
16:09.27lokebefore our dreams are shattered
16:10.21romainguy___all I can say is that I stopped using my iPhone a while ago :))
16:10.29anno^da-:D
16:10.31romainguy___Android's features are definitely, in my opinion, worth it
16:10.36lokeromainguy_I have never really been impressed with the ihpone
16:11.05anno^da-romainguy_: But the normal consumer will look at the design. Or not? So is it final? :D
16:11.10lokea few colleagues have it, and I must say that seeing them try to use IM-apps, or IRC-clients or SSH-clients is quite tragic
16:11.28lokethe phone rings, or they want to check the address book and they lose all connections
16:11.35romainguy___anno^da-: We haven't announced any phone yet :)
16:11.57lokeone of them use an app that has some sync functionality... of course he can't do anything else while the damn thing syncs
16:12.18lokeanno^da-: romainguy_ works for HTC?
16:12.37anno^da-romainguy_: Grrr :D
16:12.43romainguy___loke: no, for Google
16:12.56lokeromainguy_: oh
16:13.10anno^da-romainguy_: I'm looking forwar to the day you can tell us :D After the release :-)
16:13.10lokeso he's not in taiwan then :-)
16:14.02lokeromainguy_: care to tell us when there is a new SDK coming out? The current version odesn't run on a 32-bit intel mac
16:14.18romainguy___loke: on a 32 bits intel mac??
16:14.21loke(my macmini at home is 32-bit) and it's incredibly unstable on my macbook air
16:14.26lokeyes
16:14.29romainguy___I use a 32 bits Intel Mac to work on Android
16:14.30lokethe Core Duo based ones
16:14.37lokewell, it doesn't work at all on mine
16:14.46romainguy___what doesn't work?
16:14.53lokeworks on the air (albeit unstably), so I assumed it was because of the 32-bitness
16:14.59lokehold, i'll tell you
16:15.15anno^da-I#m using it everyday on a 32 intel mac and it is stunning stable
16:15.26lokeanno^da-: macmini?
16:15.34romainguy___apart from the emulator, there's nothing native in the SDK
16:15.45lokewell, it was the emulator that failed
16:15.46romainguy___(and adb and aapt :)
16:15.47yakischlobaI use a Macbook 13", it runs fine
16:15.47romainguy___ah
16:15.50lokehold. i'm re-downloading
16:15.56romainguy___that's why I wouldn't know, I don't use the emulator anymore
16:16.36unix_lappyromainguy_you just push to the device to test?
16:16.38lokeromainguy_: not even fr development? are you saying that there is a develpmemt workflow to the real phone that is so smooth that you don't need the emulator?
16:16.51unix_lappythat would be amazing.
16:16.56lokeunix_lappy: agreed
16:17.13lokewhen I did J2ME development, the emulator was a complete must
16:17.14romainguy___loke: that's right
16:17.27lokeromainguy_: wow... wired via USB?
16:17.28romainguy___I've been working on the framework and apps without the emulator for 6 months now
16:17.41unix_lappynerds commence salivating.
16:18.04lokeromainguy_so... for a hello world app, how long time from pressing build until you have the app running on the device?
16:18.55lokeCan I plaste 7 lines? or can someone suggest a pastebot?
16:18.58Cedric2You can do on the device everything you can do on the emulator, it just takes a few seconds more to start at worse
16:19.04romainguy___it takes 4 or 5 seconds on my MacPro
16:19.18lokeromainguy_: woah
16:19.27anno^da-loke: for me too
16:19.38anno^da-max of 6 seconds
16:19.40lokeromainguy_: that's sweet... Can I assume it'll work that way for me as well once I get the commercial device?
16:20.04romainguy___it depends on your computer for the compile time
16:20.11romainguy___but it's a fairly smooth process
16:20.37anno^da-So I'm out now. :-) Have a nice day guys.
16:20.40hemp77romainguy___: when we will be able to use apps like mail and a calender with the sdk?
16:20.43lokehere
16:20.44lokehttp://paste.lisp.org/display/67011
16:20.53lokethat's the error I get when trying to run on my macmini (10.5.5)
16:21.08romainguy___hemp77: the SDK will probably remain as it is
16:22.15hemp77romainguy___: ok.. but the first devices will include such standard apps, or will they be written by third party companies?

18:01.50plusminus_except databases/prefs
18:02.30muthudon't think they would wipe data

21:49.47_avataris there a way to request a listview to refresh/requery only one of its rows? BaseAdapter has notifyDataSetChanged(), but that causes all visible items to be redrawn. I just want one of the items requeried from my adapter
21:52.20romainguy__avatar: no
21:54.00_avatarok. can i use getChildAt() and tweak the view myself?
21:54.08_avatarListView.getChildAt(), I mean.
21:54.17_avatarwell, I suppose I should just try
21:54.40umdk1d3umm wait
21:54.41umdk1d3i had a way
21:56.05umdk1d3i have been using getChildAt().invalidate() regularly
21:56.11umdk1d3it works as expected
21:56.21umdk1d3even with a cursor-backed list
21:56.23*** join/#android plusminus_ (i=4421a620@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-257fdf431dbe2179)
21:56.38umdk1d3need to cursor.requery() before that tho iirc
21:56.56umdk1d3also be careful because getChildAt() can return null if you send in bad position
21:57.44umdk1d3continues rambling on to self
21:58.05_avatari'm not using a cursor backed list. let me give it a shot.
22:05.30_avatarumdk1d3: getChildAt().invalidate() doesn't seem to work for me in my non-cursor backed data. i wonder if the cusror.requery() causes the adapter to requery everything?
22:05.58umdk1d3maybe
22:06.14umdk1d3but i remember having those issues you described
22:06.20umdk1d3flashing the entire list when refreshing
22:06.28umdk1d3and thats what ive been doing to get around it iirc

23:31.02faddenIf it's getting stuck, ask DDMS for a stack trace.
23:31.29donomohmmm.

23:33.40donomofadden: not that i can tell.
23:34.06donomofadden: when the 'update threads' button is 'on' for a process, is that list updated automatically?
23:34.46faddenYes.
23:34.56faddenTry "adb logcat -v thread"
23:35.35faddenYou should see the every-5-second message in the same pid but a different tid each time.
23:35.59fadden(it's pid:tid, with the tid in hex for some reason)
23:36.11donomoi see same pid, and same tid each time. (1331:0x539)
23:36.18donomonice to know what that second number is :)
23:36.38faddenWere you expecting it to start a new thread?
23:37.17fadden0x539 == 1337 ...
23:37.35donomohmm. i guess not. timer.scheduleAtFixedRate( new TimerTask() { public void run() { ... } } ...
23:37.53donomoi guess the same thread could be fired each time
23:38.46faddenNext thing to try would be single-step with a debugger.
23:39.12donomoyeah that sounds good
23:41.02faddenEither you're popping back out, which can only happen in Java with an exception, or what you're calling is somehow ending up back in the timer code, which will cause the stack to overflow before long.
23:41.25faddenYou can double-click on the thread in DDMS to see a stack trace and rule out the ever-growing-stack.
