19:19 freeman__ Happy Holidays Datavere developers.
19:23 pdurbin freeman__: thanks! you too! I actually have the day off but do you want to see something I'm hacking on? :)
19:24 freeman__ yes certainly. i love to hack in python which is my specialty
19:24 freeman__ java i can read code but not good at it.
19:24 pdurbin https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-android
19:24 freeman__ i also came to another issue with DVN v3.6.x
19:24 freeman__ question: does the new Dataverse 4.0 include the notion of keeping track of  individual files download counter per study instead of during download where if an user selected two files, those two files will be lump together as one package.
19:25 freeman__ oh man, dont tell me, Dataverse on Android platform.
19:26 freeman__ pdurbin: Awesome !!! There will be a release of Dataverse for the Android platform. NIce !!!!!
19:28 pdurbin freeman__: whoa, whoa, whoa... let's not get ahead of ourselves. :) this is just something I'm hacking on. :) look at how primitive it is: http://imgur.com/h2r9gKt
19:28 freeman__ pdurbin: Kool. Right, OfCourse. :)
19:29 pdurbin freeman__: if you know anyone who wants to help, please direct them to https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md :)
19:30 freeman__ pdurbin: will do. i was thinking of learning Android development a few years ago. Yes if i know of anyone who wishes to help i will inform them. I just might git pull the source myself to check it out.
19:31 pdurbin freeman__: I recommend http://appinventor.mit.edu to make your first app. That's what I did.
19:32 pdurbin freeman__: if you want to try to build the Dataverse app for Android, please use Android Studio: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2014/12/android-studio-10.html
19:32 freeman__ pdurbin: i see. the Google android tutorial was quite difficult when i first tried to develop something simple with android moons ago. I am certain its easier now a days. ;)
19:34 pdurbin this was very helpful in learning how to parse JSON: http://www.newthinktank.com/2014/10/make-android-apps-14/
19:36 freeman__ pdurbin: there is a colleague here who can parse JSON-LD and XML files pretty well, i forgot the javalibrary he used to do so. Right, Java has all kinds of kool tools to parse JSON files.
19:38 freeman__ pdurbin: i can clearly see that you are keeping yourself very busy even on your day off. :)  i bet its very nice up in MA this time of the year.
19:38 pdurbin yeah, it seems to be built in to android
19:39 pdurbin meh, it's pretty rainy today. good weather in NH last weekend though. took the kids skiing. saw a moose
19:39 pdurbin oh good, I started this android project on Ubuntu but it seems to build find on Mac too
19:39 pdurbin fine*
19:39 freeman__ pdurbin: i will look into learning Android development this coming new year and will try (not a promise) to git pull Your source code, install the android Development environment and see what happens. ;)
19:40 pdurbin freeman__: great! once you're set up I'll send you some videos to watch
19:41 freeman__ several co-workers of mine are from up north, Hartford, CT snowed a bit a few days ago. Its raining here in Baltimore as well. Cloudy, not much excitment at the moment. I will be traveling south to visit my dad soon.
19:41 pdurbin nice
19:41 freeman__ pdurbin: Excellent, i will watch them. getting back to programmming something instead of doing more of linux monkieying around. lol
19:42 pdurbin freeman__: oh, for your question about download numbers... I don't know. Can you please ask on the Google Group?
19:42 freeman__ pdurbin: ok will do. i will post a question on the googlegroup
19:43 pdurbin cool. or privately via support@dataverse.org . up to you
19:43 pdurbin but others would probably be interested in the answer too
19:46 freeman__ i see. the version  we are using is good but after further digging, i realized that researchers might be interested in the actual number file download counter on DVN. I found the google DVN posting site.
19:46 freeman__ will post this question shortly: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dataverse-community
20:20 freeman__ pdurbin: many thanks in pointing this out to me. My brain is not quite here with me today, i do hope that i have made my question to a point where it may make scense to everyone in this community.
20:27 freeman__ Take it easy, i am calling it done for today. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone. Peace !
20:45 pdurbin makes sense to me: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/zgspGSEZBGw/Xns8-S0ZFqUJ
