First go to http://www.testingwithfrank.com/installing.html and setup your project to be frankified.

Now the main thing to keep in mind is the evn.rb file that has the APP_BUNDLEPATH.  if you used the build script from the last post then using the following should work

APP_BUNDLE_PATH = ‘../Build/Debug-iphonesimulator/yourSuperDuperApp.app’

In Xcode 4 and up make sure in the preferences/Locations that the advanced Derived Data is set to Legacy instead of Unique.  This means that as long as you run your frankafied app once on the simulator with the latest code you can now run cucumber inside the frank directory and run all the tests.  Also the build script as is will run a build for the simulator that frank can use there as well!

First the iOS automated build with automated testflight push   The easiest way I could find do to this was just to have a shell script create the builds that hudson calls.. I’ll put in some comments to help out on what is what.

Assumptions.  In your project directory you have a build folder with build.sh containing something like the bellow.  The build directory also contains a provisioningprofiles directory which has a build type (CONFIGURATION).mobileprovision files.  In our case we have four.  AdHoc.mobileprovision, Debug.mobileprovision, Distribution.mobileprovision, and Release.mobileprovision. (This means when we add or changes devices we just update this profiles and now the new builds include them). Lastly the build directory contains the xcode.keychain with contains the certs associated with the profiles. An other important note.  On you’re project make sure that the profiles you using for the automated builds on the targets are set to auto select,   otherwise this will cause you headaches!

—— In hudson it’s the standard setup—–

we have the standard project that  checks out from SVN and has a multiple choice for the type of builds to set the CONFIGURATION variable to Debug, AdHoc, Distribution, or Release.  It executes the following

$WORKSPACE/build/build.sh
cd $WORKSPACE/frank
cucumber

first one is the actual build. the other 2 lines have to do with running the automated test with Frank.

Lastly I archive build/$CONFIGURATION-iphoneos/final.tar

This will include the ipa, and a couple nice to have files for the future.

An additional note in our situation.  Our jenkins runs on Tomcat on a Linux box in AWS.  If this doesn’t make you go “huh?” then read it again and ask how does a iOS build run on Linux.  The answer is that it doesn’t!  We have a slave that is a Mac Mini that builds for us. Here is the interesting setup.

Since we’re behind a firewall where we can’t poke a hole in, (wohoo IT making life harder, actually in this case it’s probably a good precaution so I can’t complain too much) we do the following

ssh to the linux machine from the mac mini using ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=yes -o ServerAliveInterval=15 -R 20000:localhost:22 username@server.com (obviously put your own username and server name)

Then in jenkins setup an ssh slave to the localhost on port 20000. You’ll probably need to setup somesort of keyless entry or what not the way I did or use a password but either way it’s a nifty way to do a reverse ssh session to create builds on a machine inside a private network from an external machine on the web

Next post —-  Setup of Frank with iOS and Jenkins.

I manage my own VPS (using UP2PVS – It’s really cheap for what you get and even though I’ve heard complaints about them, I really haven’t had any issues other then my own doing so far.)

So back to the issue at hand.  After requesting they move the VPS from Germany to Seattle (way faster for me to use now), the IP of course changed.  Now I had registered a couple subdomains to be my name servers since Kloxo (open source CPANEL – not the most intuitive but works).  but then when the move took place I just changed the A record for them, forgetting what I had initially done the first time around.. Using mydomain.com (not as an example but that where I manage my domains registration) you have to make sure to use the register name server option to also update the glue record.  Otherwise it really is horrible and things like email, web, etc just plain stop working.

In conclusion word to the wise.  When dealing with your own name servers, remember the glue

On the Google TV platform you can’t touch the screen.  This means you mainly depend on the up,down,left,right nav.  What posses a navigation issue is when you have have a list view on the left hand side with a grid view on the right.

The idea is when the a listview item is clicked then you populate a different set of gridview items.  When you select the right nav and then move around and then go back to the list view, it will go to the closest item but not the last one that was selected.

What you would think the answer is:

this.getListView().setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus)
{
mListView.setSelectionFromTop(mCurCheckPosition, itemPosition); //posibly use the setSelection instead but still the same idea

}

}
});

However this doesn’t work.  I imagine it’s something with the order of items getting focus and what not but still no worky.

Actual Answer/Hack

this.getListView().setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus)
{
mHandler.postAtFrontOfQueue(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (!firstTry)
{
mListView.setSelectionFromTop(mCurCheckPosition, itemPosition);
}
else
{
firstTry=false;
}
}
});

}

}
});

You also need a firstTry = false as a private;

mCurCheckPosition is most listly going to be set on the onItemSelected or onListItemClick depending on what behavior you want, but you should get the idea.  This works and honestly I’m not really sure why and if someone knows of a better way to get this behavior please please comment on it and I’ll update the post!

1. select your instance and creates an EBS ami. (note this will take down your instance so make sure to do it during a maintenance period)

2. go to your your AMI list.  Select the newly created AMI and click on permission.  Now add the account you’re transferring to.

3. In the new account select the private AMI from the list and choose to launch a new instance.

At this point you should be able to kill the old instance in the old account and you’re newly create instance in the new account should be good to go

—I am trying to get fragments working within a TabHost which is within
a
fragment handled by the ActionBar.  The top layer fragments work ok,
however I have not been able to get the lower level fragments to
display.
Could you please be more specific on how you accomplished this, or
maybe, send me some examples.

—

So I haven’t done a fragment inside a tabhost inside a fragment,
although I don’t think that have the parent fragment controlled by the
ActionBar would make any differences although the lifecycles could get
pretty complex in terms of popping the fragments in an out.  Anyways,
here are a couple snipets for the tabhost and the fragments being
changed in and out.  This is from a project that I was working on a
while back so I’m a little cobwebish about it.  You may want to try
getting the tabhost and fragments to work on their own and then bring
it into the parent fragment so that you can narrow down what’s causing
the probs. Hopefully this will help a bit.

FragmentManager fm = this.

——-

In looking at your sample, I realized you must have extended FragmentActivity from the Compatability Package.  I cannot do that since I am in a Fragment which already extends Fragment.  I am taking your advice and am going to try getting it working in another test project.

——

No worries

There really isn’t a problem even if you’ve already extended as
fragment instead of fragmentactivity from the Comptability pack.   Depending on the complexity it may be better in the changeTab
method to do a callback to the activity and have it control the flow.
you can do something like the following in the fragment

OnFragmentTabListener onFragmentTabListener; // make sure to create
the OnFragmentTabListener interface with a changeTab Method or what
not

@Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity){
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
onFragmentTabListener = (OnFragmentTabListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.

I’ll clean this up later but it should give somewhat of an idea on how to do this.

There are a few ways around this and if you connect to the same server all the time here is your answer (if you connect to multiple servers all the time then use this as a start and figure out the rest and post it please!!!)

First lets start with automator.  create one for a service and make sure that the service receives selected files or folders in finder.  Second add a task that runs an applescript.  it’ll look something like this
———————————–
on run {input, parameters}
    tell application “Finder”
        set fileURL to URL of file input
        set newfileURL to my replaceText(“file://localhost/Volumes”, “file:\\\\yourservername”, fileURL)
        return my replaceText(“/”, “\\”, newfileURL)
    end tell
end run

on replaceText(find, replace, subject)
    set text item delimiters of AppleScript to find
    set subject to text items of subject
   
    set text item delimiters of AppleScript to replace
    set subject to “” & subject
   
   
    return subject
end replaceText
——————————————————–

Then add a copy to clickboard task.

now save it as a service and you should be good to see a context menu when you right click.  This will paste the content to the clipboard so you can now paste the newly formatted string in your mail client or whatev…

First the problem.  Android doesn’t have by default the swipie Scroll Content controller that iOS has examples of (I should clarify that iOS doesn’t have this by default but at least has examples.)  So essentially I wanted something that would act like a gallery view (although just swipe one item onto the screen at a time) and then have views with buttons and what not that would be clickable.  The problem being that if you have a clickable buttom and you start the swipe by touching it, it doesn’t swype… and if you set the ontouchlistener to the button to a custom one well say goodbye to the onclick…  exmple–
————————  g is a galleryview btw
        OnTouchListener mOnTouch = new View.OnTouchListener() { 
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
             if (g.onTouchEvent(event)) {
                 Log.e(“onTouch”, “captured by gallery”);
                
                            return false;
                        }
       
             Log.e(“onTouch”, “this has been touched!”);
            return false;
           
            }

        };

button.setOnTouchListener(mTouch);
—————————

In this case for some really weird reason checking the  if (g.onTouchEvent(event)) actually eats the event and even return false afterwards much to my dismay doesn’t even pass the event on!!!!  this is what really kills me and if someone knows why… please oh please tell me.

Solutions->  Create a custom Gallery  sample bellow…  which overides the onInterceptTouchEvent with a custom Gesturedetector in an inner class that then calls the Galleries OnFling if there is a fling. The nice added part to this is that now you don’t need to set an ontouch listerner for each clickable item in the gallery.

couple other notes -> invalie return for position is so that it doesn’t try to click the item no matter where you are…  It may not be needed anymore but I’m tired of messing with it for the time being… I’ll update if it can go by the way side.   The velocityx / 4 is so that only one item gets flung and the * 3 later on I have no idea why it’s needed   seems like the galleries ontouchevent does some black magic before sending the values to the onfling.  3 seems to be the majic number to make it work like the /4

public class MyGallery extends Gallery {
    GestureDetector gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new innerGestureDetector());

    public MyGallery(Context context,AttributeSet attrSet) {
    super(context, attrSet);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX,
            float velocityY) {
    Log.e(“FlingGallery”, “Galery was flinged”);
        super.onFling(e1, e2, velocityX / 4, velocityY); 
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {

    if (gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ev))
    {
        Log.e(“FlingGallery”, “WT1″);
        super.onTouchEvent(ev);
        return true;
    }
    Log.e(“hijack”, “intercepted”);
   
        return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
    }

    @Override
    public int pointToPosition(int x, int y)
    {
    return INVALID_POSITION;
    }
        class innerGestureDetector extends SimpleOnGestureListener {

   
    @Override
        public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
  
        Log.e(“fling”, “innerfling”);
        return MyGallery.this.onFling(e1,e2,velocityX * 2,velocityY);

        }

    }

}

Hopefully someone will find this of use or at least it will help me with my memory… This was enough to make me hate how events are passed around (perhaps just because I don’t fully understand them)

Cheers,
