@maňish no, I didn't live back when there were Hebrews.

Hebrews

Hebrews (Hebrew: עברים or עבריים, Tiberian ʿIḇrîm, ʿIḇriyyîm; Modern Hebrew ʿIvrim, ʿIvriyyim; ISO 259-3 ʕibrim, ʕibriyim) is a term appearing 34 times within 32 verses of the Hebrew Bible. While the term was not an ethnonym, it is mostly taken as synonymous with the Semitic-speaking Israelites, especially in the pre-monarchic period when they were still nomadic, but in some instances it may also be used in a wider sense, referring to the Phoenicians, or to other ancient groups, such as the group known as Shasu of Yhw on the eve of the Bronze Age collapse. By the Roman Empire, Greek Hebraios could...

I am Israeli, and a Jewish. :)

@maňish to be honest, I never made the link.... the actual word is "Mevin", so it didn't occur to me that "maven" is related. That's really cool. :D

@Rahul2001 is this an egg?

Sagar V

Shadow Wizard

@SagarV umm.... OK. What?

I can also post some random screenshot, is this a new game? :)

Sagar V

DId you see the 1 favourite for that stupid question. I don't think it is the OP.

@KennyBOT @ShadowWizard did you pay to him daily or monthly? for this.

Shadow Wizard

7:34 AM

@SagarV oh lol, someone probably misclicked when going to downvote. Not me, but the favorite is already gone. :)

@SagarV actually @rene is paying something like $1 per month to have this. :D

(it's actual movies database API)

Sagar V

and the dialog is from movie OZ the great and powerful. which is inspired from the game Temple Run OZ (or vice versa) I think :)

Rahul2001

@ShadowWizard it is what you think it is

Typography is an art. And art is open to interpretation.

Shadow Wizard

@Rahul2001 so I see there.... a single boob. :P /cc @Dro :D

Sagar V

@Rahul2001 I don't know from which movie this is

Shadow Wizard

@SagarV no movie, he just stated two "facts". :)

Rahul2001

7:42 AM

Yeah, it's not from a movie. It's just something I like to say

Sagar V

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/297321/… what am I supposed to do from mobile? Chrome sucks. the only option I have is Chrome Canary. It show a big black box in mobile view and this issue in full site view. Any suggestions? There was no issue like I mentioned in the post till yesterday. I didn't updated it. The issue started only yesterday. @ShadowWizard

Shadow Wizard

@SagarV use the full site, but don't treat things like this as a bug, as it's not, that is all. :)

Just expect design to be broken.

Same goes for zoom, if you view SE sites on desktop computer with zoom, design breaks, and that's expected.

Sagar V

hmm Ok

8:21 AM

@DroidDev @ColdFire @maňish @berserk another question, bit complicated this time... will try to explain, get ready! :)

I have a top banner in my app:

Tapping the menu, there is "Setting" item:

When the PreferenceActivity is started, the top banner disappear:

Code to load the activity:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName(this, "il.co.mir.integralapp.SettingsPreferenceActivity");
startActivity(intent);

How to make the banner stay there? What code you need to see?

Thanks in advantage! :D

Sagar V

@ShadowWizard didn't you mean advance? :O

is this in android studio or ionic?

Clemens Himmer

Rahul2001

@ClemensHimmer Did you just assume the gender of everyone in the den? ;P

Clemens Himmer

no but by my experience there's only @Pra that doesn't permanently have something oval shaped between their legs lol

also, @Ber and @Mes you used the script by now? :D

Shadow Wizard

@ClemensHimmer loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time no OH BOY!

@ClemensHimmer oh boy indeed.... why you hate working? :(

@ClemensHimmer and @YvetteColomb

Peter David Carter

who is @ClemensHimmer ; I assume someone I should be aware of

Shadow Wizard

11:23 AM

And @Joe got star shaped thing between his legs, I just know this! :D

JoErNanO

@ShadowWizard Yeah it's like a supernova: explosive!

Peter David Carter

is this some kind of sexual reference? I'm so naive

honestly, though -- I assume the community does 'star' people now

I mean, it's pretty obvious the power is there and will be used

I'm just unsure how they decide

Shadow Wizard

@PeterDavidCarter the power @Joe has between his legs is enormous, can't be measured.

Peter David Carter

oh, mine's 2.8 GB

not sure how that converts to inches ;)

Shadow Wizard

@Pet you chose an interesting room for testing your account... now you're doomed! :P

JoErNanO

11:26 AM

@PeterDavidCarter That's no measure of power.

Noob. :P

Peter David Carter

Shadow Wizard

maňish

@ShadowWizard is that a demo or company project?

Shadow Wizard

@maňish combo of those actually

maňish

@ShadowWizard :/

Peter David Carter

@ShadowWizard is that Java or C# (SO naive)

?

maňish

u can post ur code to github & I will correct it completely

Shadow Wizard

11:29 AM

But it should work and look nice...

@PeterDavidCarter Java for android

maňish

@ShadowWizard create a repo

Shadow Wizard

@maňish nah, we're not open source

Let's see what @Dro @Col and @ber will say...

Peter David Carter

maňish

@ShadowWizard SettingsPreferenceActivity ?

where is it?

Cold Fire

@ShadowWizard what you wanna do?

Peter David Carter

11:31 AM

config.all

Shadow Wizard

@PeterDavidCarter settings for android app

Peter David Carter

just do a web app with media queries

Cold Fire

@ShadowWizard lmao that

Peter David Carter

why do people make it hard for themselves? ;)

Shadow Wizard

@maňish nothing special there

public class SettingsPreferenceActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
    @Override
    public void onBuildHeaders(List<Header> target)
    {
        loadHeadersFromResource(R.xml.headers_preference, target);
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isValidFragment(String fragmentName)
    {
        return SettingsPreferenceFragment.class.getName().equals(fragmentName);
    }
}

berserk

11:33 AM

@ShadowWizard uhm, I guess the new activity doesn't have toolbar.

Shadow Wizard

All collected from around the web, mainly SO. lol

Cold Fire

@berserk yup

Shadow Wizard

@berserk toolbar?

Cold Fire

tell him to make a fragment instead

berserk

^

@ShadowWizard toolbar is the navigation bar at the top, like you see the one in the first screen :)

That green bar with text.

Peter David Carter

11:35 AM

by the way, if you were, just hypothetically, making an app series with a girl about a girl named Jess who has a high school crush on a guy called Emile who is a dangerous and damaged web artist

Shadow Wizard

@berserk oh, found its XML now in app_bar_main.xml

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>?

berserk

You should have a look at fragments. Here you can just make an activity with a sliding menu, and a main layout below toolbar, then you can just inflate fragments in that layout.

Peter David Carter

is it appropriate to post facebook.com/addie.anderson.9/posts/… (can people see the post?) on her wall where her boyfriend can see it?

Shadow Wizard

@berserk I have a Fragment, but from what I saw I need to wrap it with something else to "show" it

berserk

AppBarLayout is umm.. idk how to explain, basically it is used with Coordinator layout to do some good stuff lol

Cold Fire

11:37 AM

lol

Shadow Wizard

@berserk yup, that's what I have

maňish

@ShadowWizard add that to your fragment also

berserk

@ShadowWizard You can load fragments in a layout. Like take a frame layout which covers whole screen below toolbar. Then you can load fragment in it.

Peter David Carter

Shadow Wizard

> The link you followed may have expired, or the page may only be visible to an audience you're not in.

What is there? @Pet

berserk

11:37 AM

You can check how to load fragment :D

maňish

@berserk yeah agree, that is correct way to do

Cold Fire

@berserk lol

maňish

@sha just follow @berserk quietly :P

Shadow Wizard

@berserk huh, OK will take a look!

berserk

@ClemensHimmer You mean the script to find the value of drops while farming in game?

Cold Fire

11:38 AM

i am waiting for berserk to explain that :p

maňish

@ShadowWizard You can load fragments in a layout. Like take a frame layout which covers whole screen below toolbar. Then you can load fragment in it.

Peter David Carter

"Memories: High School is the first episode in the series and explores the main character, Jess, and her high school experiences, as well her feelings towards Emile: an imaginative and artistic but nonetheless damaged boy,

who, despite their only occasional contact, seems to be pulling her towards a path she's never fully considered. Away from her friends -- like her best friend Emma, with whom she shares an interest in sport: a shared bond between them, up until now. Towards, perhaps, a new, exciting, but faintly scary path, as a true artist."

Shadow Wizard

@PeterDavidCarter oh. so you're just friends?

Peter David Carter

@ShadowWizard just friends who write a romance novel that's a video game together, yeah

Shadow Wizard

11:49 AM

@PeterDavidCarter sounds cool!

Peter David Carter

thanks SW, I actually think it could do really well

Cold Fire

@YvetteColomb hey

Shadow Wizard

@maňish but I must use something that extends PreferenceActivity, because it's used to change the app settings... :(

So that won't work.

Peter David Carter

what are the ethics of using bots to promote a site/game on a really large scale?

talking 50,000 users per week++

Shadow Wizard

@PeterDavidCarter don't use bots for spam. Period.

Peter David Carter

12:00 PM

there are better ways to promote?

I have very little money so can't afford paid ads

people who see it are very interested in the product

Shadow Wizard

@PeterDavidCarter so don't promote... spam is never a good idea. At least not ethically, if not illegal.

maňish

@ShadowWizard why, doesn't seems logicall

Peter David Carter

so no-one sees it and the art dies

that would be unethical

we have number of very creative ideas for the bots which appear to engage audiences

Shadow Wizard

@maňish I'm using <PreferenceScreen>

Peter David Carter

even on the small-scale trials thus far

Shadow Wizard

12:02 PM

So that all the hard work of loading and saving the settings is done automatically

Peter David Carter

I know 45 users isn't statistically significant, but the response have been positive from users engaged via a Twitter bot

Shadow Wizard

Otherwise I read that I have to mess with PreferenceManager and build my own screens for everything, and I prefer not to. @maň

Peter David Carter

we hope the forums bot and Skype bot reach a larger audience

Shadow Wizard

@PeterDavidCarter well, IMO product that get its users via spam is born in sin. That's all.. you asked, you got my answer. :)

Peter David Carter

we don't see it as spamming, but rather reaching an audience those with money can't reach

of course with over 10GB of domain names we have a lot of power

but that's not the be all end all

we could anonymise with Tor but this seems like a crap solution when we really want people to enjoy the product

I don't understand why authorities would oppose us promoting a project all metrics show people like

Shadow Wizard

12:11 PM

@PeterDavidCarter 99% of the people hate spam. 99% of those who don't hate it, don't care about it. You're left with 0.01% who like it, click it, and will say "yes this is awesome". That might be lots of people, but lots more will just be irritated in the process. Do your calculations, I can't stop you from doing anything, just sharing my opinions.

Peter David Carter

all I know is the bounce rate is extremely low for people engaged via the Twitter bot and the responses have been very positive

Shadow Wizard

Just share with friends and family, ask them to share too, etc. That's ethical promotion.

Peter David Carter

those are the objective facts

limiting the audience for a popular product in this way would be unethical

Shadow Wizard

A: Creating a Preference Screen with support (v21) Toolbar

You can use a PreferenceFragment, as an alternative to PreferenceActivity. So, here is the wrapping Activity example: public class MyPreferenceActivity extends ActionBarActivity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); ...

Going to use that. Thanks!
