4:21 AM
Morning!
@ShadowWizard i normally sleep around 10 to 11.
sleep is more important.
 
 
1 hour later…
5:32 AM
gmorning
 
5:51 AM
@ShadowWizard actually, we lost the project for which I worked whole weekend without sleeping....so...I went early yesterday.... :'(
 
6:43 AM
@PraxisAshelin gmorn 2u2!
@DroidDev oh my... that.. beyond sucks. Guess not your fault? :/
@SilentKiller lol, like my wife. But on the other hand, she wakes up around 6 AM, guess you have bit more to sleep? :D
throwing home on @ber
 
7:00 AM
@ShadowWizard yeah, I was there just to handle client and co-ordinate team. But it still is beyond suck. We worked 50 hours in just weekend (friday, saturday, sunday) and total 67 hours in 4 days to somehow make that work. But, just because of one person (he is super senior, superior of mine too), its all in vain now
 
@ShadowWizard Thanks for the free accomodation!
starts living in Home
 
pees on home
 
no0o0OOoo0
@Sha you spoiled @Pra
She starts peeing on stuff now...
 
7:41 AM
@berserk yup, she learned from the best... :P
@DroidDev sorry to hear that.... anyway how is it his fault? What did he do? (or didn't do)
 
7:57 AM
@Sha ice cream.
Asking from native speakers is different from asking speakers or learners of a specific dialect. The former is nothing but noise in the question, while the latter is a crucial part of the context. — inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M 2 mins ago
 
@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M so far it's @rene's only thing. I need his permission to expand the feature.
 
He approves.
Flowers can't be unkind.
 
^ You bet?
 
@berserk We only beat you up. We're kind with ourselves.
 
8:29 AM
@ShadowWizard he committed code to git under his own name. Biggest mistake ever. We are under NDA. Then he deployed untested and broken functionality to beta site. Yet another biggest mistake ever
 
@DroidDev sounds like one of your juniors...
 
@ShadowWizard yeah...except that he has more than 4 years of experience in his domain. He has worked on robotics and he is programming since the days of windows 95.
this document about harley's what's what mentions "Warning" 2^24 times :P
 
@ShadowWizard i awake around 5 or 5.15 :P
 
hey @Sil @ber since you both are here and seem online, I'd like to ask something...
which one do you prefer to transfer data between activites:
1. Send through intent
2. Make some public static instances of your datatypes and store data to be transferred in there and use it where you want.
 
you still using activity ? O_O
in how many activities you'll need the same data ?
 
8:37 AM
oh...well...just a discussion. Plus, fragments are for a specific purpose(please leave this for another discussion) and not to be used throughout the project
 
then pass it in intent.
 
@SilentKiller well...I don't need it atm. I just want to figure out a better way...and follow than in future
@SilentKiller if we send large data in intent, then, it can even crash intent itself. Also, it'll copy data, while public static just passes pointers
 
using intent it will not hold memory till the instance is in use.
 
@SilentKiller you can do that by NOT making a new instance of static variable and just passing it the value when you want
 
if it is about large data then should use static only. but if volume of data is low or you can say about 100 of records then should use intent.
@DroidDev but whole class which hold that static instance will remain in memory till that static filed is in use.
 
8:42 AM
@SilentKiller but it will still make a copy of data...
 
Serious discussion going on in Den. :o
 
@SilentKiller that can be dealt with, by following a coding pattern and making separate DTO class
 
@DroidDev and if memory is low then it will remove old copy of the data as it is not in use
@DroidDev all static fields in a single class.
still volume of static data matters
Benefit : static fields are more faster then intent.
 
@SilentKiller well...not if your activity is still in stack
@SilentKiller umm...like following:
public class A{
    private int i = 0;
    public getI(){ return i; }
    public setI(int i) {this.i = i;}
}
now, in your activity:
public static A a;
so, when activity goes, so does the field....
and no extra memory usage....
 
but what if that class A is still in use in some other activity ?
 
8:47 AM
@SilentKiller it'll have another object there. You only define this in your last activity, where you want the data to be passed. Then you set data in this from the activity, where you initially wanted to send data through intent
 
still not clear dude. if it is static then why should i create another object
 
@DroidDev well, those mistakes means this experience is quite meaningless...
@SilentKiller oh wow... why?!
 
@ShadowWizard our work is gone anyway....
 
@ShadowWizard Prayers
 
No associated word found for Namaz.
 
8:50 AM
 
@FOX9000 kind
 
@SilentKiller suppose you have to send data to class B through intent, then you'll define static variable in class B only. And it will only accessed after the intent for class B is started
 
@SilentKiller weird
 
@FOX9000 complex
 
@maveň redoubt
 
8:51 AM
@FOX9000 rebuild
 
@maveň city
 
@SilentKiller though, I am reading more on variable lifetime
 
@FOX9000 new york
 
@maveň :/
 
@DroidDev same thing i can define in a class which is available through out the Application.
like if i don't use static keyword and hold data in Application class does it make any difference ?
 
8:53 AM
@SilentKiller umm...no, I don't think so. But, it'll just make it accessible to every class (but so will public static)
so...what to do @Sil ?
 
@DroidDev implementing this :D
 
?
 
@DroidDev if data volume is around 100 of records then to go with intent is good but if data is large then we can go with static and also with application class but static will give you fast response and performance too.
 
@SilentKiller ok, but, I didn't get one thing, hows static going to give me better performance? And what's the difference between "fast response" and "performance" in your sentence?
ok, those are actually two things
 
8:59 AM
purchase one for ur self
@berserk ^
@ShadowWizard bad boy spotted :3
 
@DroidDev suppose i hold data in application class and in 3 activity i am using that so there will be 3 instance of a single list in 3 different activity these will hold reference in memory while in this case if i use static variable it will have only one instance and it will have pointer reference in memory.
as we know to read in memory pointers are much faster.
 
hmm...thanks for that
 
there is another option too.
 
which one?
 
you can hold data in SharedPreference or in database. if it is not frequently in use
@ber be alive :P
 
9:08 AM
@SilentKiller noooooooooooooo.....that's for storage purposes. Not for data transferring purposes
 
dude to keep your app light we can use this too. some times we need to work beyond the standards :P
 
@DroidDev Intent.
 
@berserk please read the discussion after that....
 
hahahaha
 
also, watcha doin dis weekend @berserk ?
 
9:23 AM
hmm.. I guess @Sil said everything.
@DroidDev um.. nothing, I guess
@SilentKiller O.o
 
@berserk u dewnlawded any nu aniame?
 
If you need to store some data which you want to use in multiple classes, you can store it statically in a variable inside application global. The access will be faster.
But if you need in, say, only one activity, there is no point to store that in static variables.
Coz it will occupy memory and won't release until app is terminated.
 
@berserk hmm...tru dat
 
@DroidDev dewnlawdeng slom denk
 
@berserk bhat iz teh stawree?
 
9:27 AM

Q: Who is the main character of Fairy Tail?

berserkWho is the main character of Fairy Tail. Would it be Natsu or Lucy? Natsu is like the hero of the whole anime but I think the main story revolves around Lucy, how she met Natsu and how she joined Fairy Tail etc. I read the description of Fairy Tail and it says: Lucy is a 16-year-old girl, who...

@Sil @Dro any idea how to change the color of status bar dynamically in lollypop?
cc @maveň
Basically changing the theme color
 
@berserk like ?
 
Changing the theme color.
 
<resources>
  <!-- inherit from the material theme -->
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material">
    <!-- Main theme colors -->
    <!--   your app branding color for the app bar -->
    <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <!--   darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
    <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <!--   theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
    <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
 
10:51 AM
I want different theme color for different activity.
lol, cmo'n guys, I am not that dumb :P

@ber this one will work :P
 
Thanks!
But can't I change theme color? :3
 
Status bar color won't change
:(
sad
 
@berserk getSupportActionBar() might have something
 
@berserk use AppCompat lib
 
10:53 AM
@maveň no, I did, I just don't know the code right now
I mean I don't have it
I set it in every activity
 
its there on top. :P
 
so, you can set it separately too
 
I just want to change theme color at run time.
 
@berserk may blast after getting so instantaneous help
 
@berserk he ain't techincal
 
@DroidDev and?
 
@berserk not the theme, but only status bar
@berserk he thought that this is all technical chat
 
@SilentKiller thanks!
@DroidDev I wonder he don't even know english then.
