hi mark

i entered late

yes, the chat is nearly over

yeah

do you have a quick question?

i have a same question about maintaining a queue

i am using a intent service now

using activity to invoke intent service and maintain a job id in activity

which data structure is suitable for maintining queue

adding and removing items from queue..?

well, IntentService already has a queue

yes

but i have 5 tasks

to execute

5 is the limit for the queue

i have to juggke between 1 to 5

juggle*

I'm trying to understand how libs have changed from eclipse to android studio. I'm having a hard time understanding why entering compile 'something:something:version number' gives me a library. How does it know where to go for it?

like 5 tasks are added

1 is over

i have to re-iterate the queue for 5 items

Raghu: I am sorry, but I do not understand your situation. That being said, there is java.util.Queue, java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue, etc.

ok

no problem

will ask it tom

EGHDK: it looks in the repositories that you have listed

so bintray by default right?

yes

EGHDK: see the "Gradle and Dependencies" chapter

but what is bintray? I'm confused whether it's maven (no idea what it is, just hear the name all the time). Like can I go to jcenter bintray and search for android libraries there?

Bintray's JCenter is a Maven-style repository

it also has a Web site that you can go visit

Maven Central is the other popular public repository for open source dependnecies

and some people, like me, who don't like silos, run our own

interesting. I feel like I've never heard of bintray. its weird that they chose that over maven no?

sorry, but you arrived just at the end of the chat

I'm not quite sure why Google chose what they did

anyway, the next office hours is tomorrow, also at 7:30pm US Eastern

I'll be posting this short transcript to http://commonsware.com/office-hours/ shortly

No problem. I'll be back!

have a pleasant day!
