hey, give me a break - for once i'm celebrating a *great* error message :-)
Just to amplify a bit on Dianne's point, Android is a heterogeneous
system that includes subsystems that were originally open source,
third party proprietary IP (much of which is now open source), Google
propietrary
thanks for the response. sorry for the tone of my post - it was late,
there were beers, and as you can tell error messages are a pet peeve.
i agree we all want the same things here and it's not always possible
to provide the best.
Android permissions are enforced in the Linux kernel? really?
i'd never have thought of that ;-)
in the socket case, the actual exception message is as i posted.
prior to me logging the exception, OSNetworkSystem logs unknown
socket error -1.
in the MediaPlayer.create() case, no exception is thrown. the method
returns null to signify the error.
dear google, any chance of better error messages from the android
classes? usually, the java frameworks have nice developer-friendly
(as opposed to user-friendly) messages in exceptions when things go
wrong. but it seems that with the android.* packages, errors are
unexpected and the message
4 matches
