more like dICK posted:So is Android in Intellij just going to be broken until December? http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-107311 Based on my reading, this break occurs because of some rearranging of the build tools location in the Android SDK (Xavier Ducrochet explained in the New Android Build System panel on Friday that this was meant to decouple build tool version from SDK version) and Intellij does not seem to be aware of this change. There's a hacky fix linked in the issue involving symlinks. Surprised they haven't patched it yet. Maybe all the devs were at I/O, heh. I apologize for my short, out of context posts over the last few days. Been posting from my phone (still am) as I run across things but I realize I was falling for the "Get it out quick, details be damned!" lovely tech journalist mentality. I will strive to do better in the future. Efb; E: Also in that panel, Xavier gave his official proclamation that all new apps from here on out should be built with the new Gradle based tools. The official line currently is that Ant is going to be deprecated at some point so it's best to get off it as soon as you can. E2: Last tidbit and then I'll shut up for awhile The "what the hell is Android going to do about new Java features since Oracle hates you" question came up during the keynote, the Android team fireside chat, and maybe the build panel. Every single time the question was soundly dodged. At the fireside chat they simply said "we're working on it" and refused to comment further. jkyuusai fucked around with this message at 18:58 on May 18, 2013 |

Haha, nice. I'm going through the volley library now. It seems pretty cool, but the lack of examples is pretty annoying. It'll be nice to ditch the network service pattern I've been using. Switching existing code to the new structure is pretty straightforward, I'll probably switch for my current project.

QuarkJets posted:Perhaps Google will provide expanded Python support and give Oracle the finger I doubt it and would hate for this to happen. I think the right move forward is to build a LLVM-based solution. Not only could they build first-class support* for writing Android apps on top of their already-present NDK platform (which already supports LLVM iirc), but if they could tie PNaCl in somehow, they could make the ChromeOS story instantly very compelling by providing a porting path between Android and ChromeOS. Python and other languages could simply sit atop LLVM and do their thing. * As in, not just a bridge

Koush did a helpful breakdown of various image loading/network request APIs and posted his results to Google+ recently: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/bfAFC5YZ3mq Koush posted:Picasso 12142/11892 He recommends Volley as the way to go in the future, I'm assuming because it handles lifecycle headaches a bit better than the other libraries tested. Someone in the comments mentioned they might write a currying API around Volley to mimic Picasso (one of the prettiest APIs I've seen in awhile).

Is there a way to assign a margin to part of a spannable? I want to underline certain words in a Japanese sentence, but without any kind of white space around the underlined words, it's hard to tell when one word ends and another begins. I'm already using a spannable to apply underlines to the individual words, but the lack of a slight gap makes it hard to tell where one word ends and the other begins. For example, this sentence... quote:部長の都合が悪くなってしまったので、飲み会の日程は仕切り直しだね。 ...currently looks like this... quote:部長の都合が悪くなってしまったので、飲み会の日程は仕切り直しだね。 but I want it to look something like this: quote:部長 の 都合が悪く なって しまった ので、飲み会 の 日程 は 仕切り 直し だね。 IAmKale fucked around with this message at 20:28 on May 20, 2013 |

Yeah, it's quite powerful, but if the task is "insert spaces around japanese words", you probably won't get around parsing the sentence to understand where the words are. If you only need spaces around whatever you're trying to underline, then adding a space for every word you find shouldn't be too difficult?

Of course as I type this up I realize that I could find a particular word, insert spaces before and after it, and then apply the style via the spannable (with a +/- 1 offset to take into account the new spaces). That said, I'm now using alternating text colors instead and it's working out surprisingly well:

I like that more, because reading Japanese with spaces feels kind of strange. But using different colors makes it seems like you're marking different things with each color, which could be confusing.

Is there a library that lets you easily load additional information to a listview once you've scrolled to the bottom? The idea being you query only X records at a time and query for X more on-demand. I could've swore I came across something like that but I can't remember where. Edit: I just remembered it was CWAC's Endless library.

Hey, keep in mind this caveat from that page: quote:Note that this has been tested with ArrayAdapter extensively but may not work with other adapter types, particularly SimpleAdapter. It also will only work with a ListView or possibly other one-View-at-a-time AdapterView implementations. It watches the getView function for a request on the last position, then starts a load. An alternative would be to implement it yourself using the ListView OnScrollListener interface. You also have the flexibility of starting the load before you hit the end of the page, like starting the next load 5 items before the end. e: Misread that, it'll work fine with ArrayAdapter, I was mistaking it with one of the issues with CursorAdapter. zeekner fucked around with this message at 02:29 on May 22, 2013 |

So here's a question: how do I hook the default share mechanism in Android? I know it's possible because apps like Andmade Share do it, but I can't figure out how to. Googling around just seems to recommend hooking android.intent.action.SEND, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

That's not quite it; this lets me register a receiver for a share event (ie. adding it to the list of apps that appear when I share a link), but I'm looking for something one level earlier, where I choose which app is responsible for rendering the list of share targets, something like this:  I've looked at an existing app that someone made to capture as many intents as possible: https://github.com/intrications/intent-intercept/blob/master/IntentIntercept/AndroidManifest.xml, but even that doesn't capture what I need to override.

I'm having an impossible time deducing the cause of a missing R.java file. I assume it disappeared during cleaning and Eclipse was unable to regenerate it during build. I am using the android ADT version of eclipse, and the minimum SDK of 11. I suspect that the culprit is some kind of snafu in an XML file, but so far I have been unable to locate anything. The only errors in my entire project (that I can find) are limited to .Java files. I tried an experiment where I made another blank android application and coppied over its original "activity_main.xml" with the one from my project, and it broke it as well.

Does anyone have experience using Mono for Android? I'm developing a (hopefully) cross-platform app, and as per the OP, I prefer Brainfuck/MUMPS/LOLCODE over Java. Actually, I'd prefer pretty much anything over Java, when it comes down to it. What cross-platform options are available that don't use Java?

User0015 posted:What cross-platform options are available that don't use Java? I've played with Xamarin Studio (http://xamarin.com/studio) and it's actually pretty nice, but too pricey for me just messing around. You can make small apps and even sell them for free, so if you're into C# it's probably worth checking out. From what I understand it supports awesome features of C# like async/await that the WP8 SDK doesn't yet (at least, didn't when I checked in February) support. I've done a bit more work with writing an Android application in Scala. I planned to do a write-up on it once I finished but I've gotten sidetracked. It's pretty straight forward to get going though if you're interested, ScalaIDE/AndroidProguardScala/standard Android SDK pretty much _just works_ and is a lot more fun than working in Java. This probably wont help at all going cross platform though.

Cross platform might not even be realistic, so I'll gladly take anything that isn't Java. This would also be my first Android app, so making things easier is good with me.

I've just hooked up a spinner in the Action Bar to a CursorAdapter (I'm cheating right now and am using a SimpleCursorAdapter, but will replace it with something custom). When an item in the spinner is selected, onNavigationItemSelected(int position, long id) is called. I know position is the tapped item's location in the list of items, but what is id? Is it whatever I returned as the _id column when I selected rows from the database?

I'm not sure anymore what it's used for, but the most common error I've had with non-unique IDs and UI controls is the wrong UI control responding because it got called earlier than the one you intended to respond, because they have identical IDs. If you want something custom, try an ArrayAdapter subclass?

As for the custom class, I'm using a CursorAdapter because the items I'm pulling are stored in a database. The user can create, update, and delete these items at will, so I can't work with static lists.

Karthe posted:That's what I figured. In my case it's the row's _id column, which is perfect since I need to reference that when a particular spinner item is tapped. ArrayAdapters don't have to be static lists. In fact, the only way I've ever used them is as a destination for API-backed calls. No overhead of reading/writing to a database, just memory. It also frees you from being inseparably married to your SQLite code for any kind of data manipulation. That said, do what is simplest for what you need. POJO-backed lists is not necessarily that.
