

**UPDATE:**

`VrPanoramaView` is **deprecated**:

These components were removed in `v1.190` of the GVR SDK for Android. The Video360 sample should be used as a basis for creating 360 photo and video viewers. If you still want to use these widgets, **you will need to use SDK `v1.180` or earlier**.


----------


There&#39;s a new open source [Cardboard SDK][1] that offers a streamlined API, improved device compatibility, and built-in viewer profile QR code scanning. It&#39;s recommend that all developers actively building for Google Cardboard migrate to the new Cardboard SDK: [iOS][2], [Android NDK][3], [Unity XR Plugin (SDK)][4]


----------
This might not be the answer how to handle 2 points in `Google VR View` but as it&#39;s deprecated you should go with the new open source `Cardboard SDK`. There are plenty tutorials how to handle such events and more. Cheers! :)

I have created a CloudFront distribution to serve the static website. S3 is origin server.
Now if we access CloudFront URL, it redirects to S3 location.

`d2s18t7gwlicql.cloudfront.net`
or
`test.telekha.in`

In the browser it is showing 
https://telekha-test-www.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/index.html#/dashboard

I am expecting https://test.telekha.in/#/dashboard

If I access https://test.telekha.in through curl it returns my `index.html` document

If I access http://test.telekha.in through curl it returns

    &lt;html&gt;
    &lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;301 Moved Permanently&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;
    &lt;body bgcolor=&quot;white&quot;&gt;
    &lt;center&gt;&lt;h1&gt;301 Moved Permanently&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
    &lt;hr&gt;&lt;center&gt;CloudFront&lt;/center&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
    &lt;/html&gt;

But in browser both HTTP and HTTPS are redirecting to https://telekha-test-www.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/index.html#/

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.



AWS CloudFront redirecting to S3 bucket

Unfortunately in the last versions of Chrome the negative network filter doesn&#39;t work anymore. I used this filter in order to exclude each http call containing a particular string. I asked a solution in Chrome dev tool forum but at the moment nobody answered.

So I would like to know if there is a way to resolve this problem (and exclude for example each call containing the string &#39;loadMess&#39;) with regex syntax.

Chrome dev tools: any way to exclude requests whose URL matches a regex?

If I insert a 360 degree image in `VrPanoramaView` then the image is showing and rotating successfully but and in this library only one click event which is `panoramaView.setEventListener(new VrPanoramaEventListener())`.
I want to add some points in that image.

So I want to know how I can give some selected points in Google VR View in android?

How can I add some clickable points in VR panorama image view in Android?

I have an activity hosting two fragments. The activity starts off showing a loader while it loads an object. The loaded object is then passed to both fragments as arguments via newInstance methods and those fragments are attached.

    final FragmentTransaction trans = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    trans.replace(R.id.container1, Fragment1.newInstance(loadedObject));
    trans.replace(R.id.container2, Fragment2.newInstance(loadedObject));
    trans.commit();

The second fragment contains a android.support.v4.view.ViewPager and tabs. onResume we initialise it like follows

    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    viewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(adapter.getCount()); //the count is always &lt; 4
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);

The problem is android then throws 

&gt; java.lang.IllegalStateException: FragmentManager is already executing
&gt; transactions
                                                                                        
With this stack trace: *(I took `android.support` out of the package names just for brevity)*

&gt; v4.view.ViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(ViewPager.java:847)

The data shows if `setOffscreenPageLimit(...);` is removed. Is there another way to avoid this issue?

When in the lifecycle is the fragment transaction complete so that I can wait to setup my pager?

FragmentManager is already executing transactions. When is it safe to initialise pager after commit?

I want to show a snackbar as soon as the user opens the Google Maps activity, but the thing is that there&#39;s no views in the activity to use as the first parameter of the activity (in the `findViewById()` of `Snackbar.make()`). What do I put there?
Here&#39;s the java class code:

    public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

    private GoogleMap mMap;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);

        // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap;
        mMap.setBuildingsEnabled(true);
        mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
        float cameraZoom = 17;
        LatLng location = new LatLng(43.404032, -80.478184);
        mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(location).title(&quot;49 McIntyre Place #18, Kitchener, ON N2R 1G3&quot;));
        CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(location, cameraZoom);
        Snackbar.make(findViewById(/*WHAT DO I PUT HERE?*/), &quot;Click the pin for more options&quot;, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
    }

Also, here is the activity xml code:

    &lt;fragment xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;
    xmlns:map=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto&quot;
    xmlns:tools=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/tools&quot;

    android:layout_height=&quot;match_parent&quot;
    tools:context=&quot;ca.davesautoservice.davesautoservice.MapsActivity&quot; /&gt;

And lastly, here&#39;s the stacktrace error:

        &gt; Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 9.0.0.

Version conflict updating to play-services 9.4.0 Android studio 2.2

Until june 20th 2016 i was able to cancel test purchases done in my app.
Doing multiple in-app purchases (not consumable) from the same test account made it easy to develop and test the code without too much hazzle.

After 20th june 2016, the purchases did not show in my merchant account and
i was unable to do more than 1 purchase from my test account. All i got was the:  &quot;you already own this item&quot; message.

I logged a request to the google developer support group and the answer was: 

**Beginning June 20, 2016, we changed test purchases for one-time in-app purchases (IAPs).
Previously, test purchases for one-time IAPs generated order IDs. Starting June 20, 2016, one-time IAPs do not generate official order IDs (if at all) and will not appear in the Merchant Center. This behavior already applies to subscription IAPs.
You can learn more about testing in-app billing in the Android Developers Help Center: https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_testing.html#testing-purchases**

allright.. so i go to the mentioned link and theres a section there: 
**Canceling completed test purchases**
which states: 

**Google Play accumulates completed test purchases for each user but does not pass them on to financial processing.
In some cases, you might want to manually cancel a test purchase to continue testing. To do so, open the app page in the Play Store. If the test purchase that you want to cancel is a subscription, you can also use the cancel() method of the Purchases.subscriptions API.
Important: The refund() and revoke() methods of the Purchases.subscriptions API don&#39;t support test purchases.**

So I go to the app page in play store...and do what exactly? the webpage does not state what i am supposed to do there. anyone know?

it does say:  **you can also use the cancel() method of the Purchases.subscriptions API.**

which indicates that using the cancel() method is not the only method.

How to solve this without adding additional code in my app?
