Hello Mark, how are you?

OK, and you?

fine, thanks

hello, Benny!

MyWay: you arrived first, so... do you have a question?

Will you add androidx support to ArrayPagerAdapter?

no

I think I discontinued that project, IIRC

Hi Mark, hi MyWay

Is there any specific reason?

I'm not using it with any projects

I see, because I'd need a MapFragment inside my Fragment (which I use with ArrayPagerAdapter) to show location messages (like whatsapp), but I can't use it from what I've understand due to Fragment inside Fragment and so I'd need the SupportMapFragment which I can't use with ArrayPagerAdapter, how can I do?

fork the library and create an AndroidX edition, I guess

since I have native and support-fragment editions, creating an AndroidX-fragment edition should be reasonably straightforward

ok, thanks

if you wind up with questions about creating that fork, let me know -- I am trying to maintain fewer libraries, but I can certainly try to answer questions about them

let me take a question from Benny, and I'll return to you in a bit

Benny: your turn! do you have a question?

ok, thanks

yes, I work on a Dialer-App. I try to run the Android AOSP Dialer as a project in Android Studio, but I can not compile it, there are also no Gradle files.

the AOSP projects are designed to be built as part of full firmware build

do you have an idea how to run projects like this

most likely, you can't, except by building a custom ROM and flashing it to a device

okay, I understand

the AOSP projects do not rely solely on the Android SDK, but on the rest of the firmware

and as far as the build process goes, I think they are still mostly using Makefiles, though I have not checked recently

overall, those app projects are not designed to be built like a normal Android SDK project

some probably *can* be built that way, if you create your own Gradle files and figure out how to remove any references the project has to stuff that is in the firmware and not in the Android SDK

okay, I thought something like this.

but sounds like it would be a lot of work

yes, most likely

let me take another question from MyWay, and I will be back with you shortly

MyWay: back to you! do you have another question?

no, thanks

OK

if you come up with one, chime in

Benny: back to you! do you have another question?

I would have a last one :)

go ahead!

It would help me if I could use "go to reference" and "usage" in the AOSP project with android studio, but it did not work for me. Do you know, would it maybe work just with intellij

I have never tried loading AOSP projects into an IDE, so I have no idea, sorry

ok, no problem

if either of you have another question, go right ahead!

I also want to use SQLCipher in a future project, do you know if it works with Room?

this is some bridge code that I wrote that allows Room to work with SQLCipher

oh, very nice :)

this would it be from my side for today, thank you very much for your support

you're welcome!

see you soon, good bye
