connect to excalibur using C# and COM ports

Have no idea if you guys will know but firstly does the Excalibur support AT commands?
secondly, how would I connect using VC# 2008 Express
code follows
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO.Ports;
namespace phoneBackup
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
SerialPort sp = new SerialPort();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
programStatus.Text = "Connecting...";
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
sp.Open();
if (sp.IsOpen == true)
{
programStatus.Text = "Connection: " + sp.IsOpen.ToString();
//status
sp.ReadTimeout = 500;
sp.WriteTimeout = 500;
getStatus();
}
else
{
programStatus.Text = "Not connected, relaunch";
}
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
textBox1.Text = "";
sp.WriteLine("AT+CGMM");
sp.Write("AT+CGMM");
getStatus();
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
textBox1.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
}
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
textBox1.Text = "";
textBox1.Text = "Reading..." + Environment.NewLine;
textBox1.Text += "Status: " + Environment.NewLine;
getStatus();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
textBox1.Text = "error " + ex.Message.ToString();
}
}
private void getStatus()
{
textBox1.Text += "BaseStream: " + sp.BaseStream.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
textBox1.Text += "BaudRate: " + sp.BaudRate.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
textBox1.Text += "Bytes to read: " + sp.BytesToRead.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
textBox1.Text += "Bytes to write: " + sp.BytesToWrite.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
textBox1.Text += "ReadTimeout: " + sp.ReadTimeout.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
textBox1.Text += "Port Name: " + sp.PortName.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
textBox1.Text += "Handshake: " + sp.Handshake.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
textBox1.Text += "Data bits: " + sp.DataBits.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
}
private void sp_DataReceived(object sender,
SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + sp.ReadExisting().ToString();
}
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Text = "";
getStatus();
}
}
}
Output is
BaseStream: System.IO.Ports.SerialStream
BaudRate: 9600
Bytes to read: 0
Bytes to write: 0
ReadTimeout: 500
Port Name: COM1
Handshake: None
Data bits: 8
no matter which button is pressed

Problems running Unix commands in native Android Java...

Hello,
I've been trying to do some android stuff on java for some time now, and i've come across a problem here: i can't get the app to execute linux stuff, as there is no system() method like on other platforms... so i searched some code and found this:
Code:
protected void system(String[] Commands){
e Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
DataInputStream osRes = new DataInputStream(process.getInputStream());
Vector<String> res = new Vector<String>();
for (String single : Commands) {
e os.writeBytes(single + "\n");
e os.flush();
e res.add(osRes.readLine());
// Log.e("CMDs", osRes.readLine());
}
e os.writeBytes("exit\n");
e os.flush();
process.waitFor();
}
However that won't work because of some errors i have in the marked lines:
"Unhandled exception type IOException"
and the process.waitFor(); line also gives me an error:
"Unhandled exception type InterruptedException"
Any ideas?

You need to add a try/catch block around that code which catches the IO exception and the interrupted exception.

deleted

So, first of all thanks to both of you it appears to be working now... i tried in on the emulator, and of course "su" didn't work there (broken pipe), so i replaced it by "sh", however this didn't seem to work well too. the application just locked up with a warning in android.... strange...
edit: tried using /system/bin/sh, didn't work, locked up again

What version of Android in the emulator? I've done it with 1.5 through 2.2 in the emulator, just by using "sh".

could you post the code you used please? would be AWESOME!
i'm trying to get this working on 2.1

Sure, I can post some more details later, but for now just the code.
Include the file in your project and use with:
Code:
ShellCommand cmd = new ShellCommand();
CommandResult r = cmd.sh.runWaitFor("ls -l");
if (!r.success()) {
Log.v(TAG, "Error " + r.stderr);
} else {
Log.v(TAG, "Success! " + r.stdout);
}
If you want su you can either use cmd.shOrSu().runWaitFor("..."); which will try su (by running "id", it just tests the status code but it's a nice entry in logcat for debugging) and fallback to sh. Or you can use cmd.su.runWaitFor("...");

Thanks kevin The code you are using there is awesome Looking good so far, however it keeps returning permission denied... is it some setting in the android manifest?

Actually "Permission denied" often also means "no such file or directory" on android :-/ . It's very frustrating.
Try running something simple to start with like:
cmd.sh.runWaitFor("echo foo");

yep, i tried running echo as i was confused by the "permission denied" although i had already set write permissions for the sdcard... didn't work, for some odd reason

[Q] Can I register a listener on process state?

I'm an experienced developer but new to Android development. I have an app that runs some native binaries, and I provide a status indicator to show when the native process is running and when it's not. Currently I poll the device to figure this out, using the ActivityManager API to determine if specific processes are running or not.
I'm hoping there is some way to register a listener on process state changes, so I can get notified when my process starts or stops. I looked through the API, and there doesn't seem to be such a thing. Does anyone know how I can keep track of process start and stop other than polling via ActivityManager?

Afaik there's no way to accomplish that other than your way or being system/root app. See this similar question here for reference.

Can you show how you start the process?

Sure. Here's the class that manages starting, stopping, and statusing (running or not) the binary executable. In this case, it's the omniNames service of the omni ORB (CORBA broker).
Code:
public class RHManager {
private TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
if (RHManager.this.listener != null) {
listener.running(isOmniNamesRunning());
}
}
};
private IStatusListener listener;
public RHManager() {
}
public void startOmniNames() {
final Exec exec = new Exec();
final String[] args = new String[]
{RhMgrConstants.INSTALL_LOCATION_OMNI_NAMES_SCRIPTS + "/" + RhMgrConstants.OMNI_NAMES_SCRIPT_FILE,
"start"};
final String[] env = new String[] {"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sdcard/data/com.axiosengineering.rhmanager/omniORB/lib"};
Thread t = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
int res = exec.doExec(args, env);
logMsg("omniNames start return code " + res);
} catch (IOException e) {
logMsg("Failed to start omniNames");
e.printStackTrace();
}
String std = exec.getOutResult();
logMsg("omniNames start: std out==> " + std );
String err = exec.getErrResult();
logMsg("omniNames start: err out==> " + err );
};
};
t.start();
logMsg("omniNames started");
}
private boolean isOmniNamesRunning() {
String pid_s = getOmniNamesPid();
Integer pid = null;
if (pid_s != null) {
try {
pid = Integer.parseInt(pid_s);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
return false;
}
}
if (pid != null) {
RunningAppProcessInfo activityMgr = new ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo("omniNames", pid, null);
return activityMgr.processName != null ;
}
return false;
}
public void stopOmniNames() {
String pid = getOmniNamesPid();
android.os.Process.killProcess(Integer.parseInt(pid));
android.os.Process.sendSignal(Integer.parseInt(pid), android.os.Process.SIGNAL_KILL);
}
private String getOmniNamesPid() {
Exec exec = new Exec();
final String[] args = new String[]
{RhMgrConstants.INSTALL_LOCATION_OMNI_NAMES_SCRIPTS + "/" + RhMgrConstants.OMNI_NAMES_SCRIPT_FILE,
"pid"};
String pid = "";
try {
int res = exec.doExec(args, null);
logMsg("oniNames pid return code: " + res);
} catch (IOException e) {
logMsg("Failed to start omniNames");
e.printStackTrace();
return pid;
}
String std = exec.getOutResult();
logMsg("omniNames pid: std out ==> " + std);
String err = exec.getErrResult();
logMsg("omniNames pid: err out ==> " + err);
String[] parts = std.split("\\s+");
if (parts.length >= 2) {
pid = parts[1];
}
return pid;
}
//monitor omniNames status and report status periodically to an IStatusListener
public void startMonitorProcess(IStatusListener listener, String string) {
this.listener = listener;
Timer t = new Timer();
t.schedule(task, 0, 1000);
}
private void logMsg(String msg) {
if (RhMgrConstants.DEBUG) {
System.err.println(msg);
}
}
}
Here's the Exec class that handles invocation of Runtime#exec(), consumes std and err out, and reports those and process return status to the caller.
Code:
public class Exec {
private String outResult;
private String errResult;
private Process process;
private boolean failed = false;
StreamReader outReader;
StreamReader errReader;
public int doExec(String[] cmd, String[] envp) throws IOException{
Timer t = null;
try {
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd, envp);
outReader = new StreamReader(process.getInputStream());
outReader.setPriority(10);
errReader = new StreamReader(process.getErrorStream());
outReader.start();
errReader.start();
t = new Timer();
t.schedule(task, 10000);
int status = process.waitFor();
outReader.join();
errReader.join();
StringWriter outWriter = outReader.getResult();
outResult = outWriter.toString();
outWriter.close();
StringWriter errWriter = errReader.getResult();
errResult = errWriter.toString();
errWriter.close();
return (failed ? -1: status);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
return -1;
} finally {
if (t != null) {
t.cancel();
}
}
}
public int doExec(String[] cmd) throws IOException{
return doExec(cmd, null);
}
public String getOutResult(){
return outResult;
}
public String getErrResult(){
return errResult;
}
private static class StreamReader extends Thread {
private InputStream is;
private StringWriter sw;
StreamReader(InputStream is) {
this.is = is;
sw = new StringWriter(30000);
}
public void run() {
try {
int c;
while ((c = is.read()) != -1){
sw.write(c);
}
}
catch (IOException e) { ; }
}
StringWriter getResult() {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Unable to close input stream in StreamReader");
}
return sw;
}
}
private TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
failed = true;
process.destroy();
}
};
}
Here's the script that startOminNames() invokes. It's the shell script installed with omniORB with functions other than start and get_pid removed, since those are handled by Android classes. You can invoke any executable in place of the script, or wrap your executable in a script.
Code:
#
# omniNames init file for starting up the OMNI Naming service
#
# chkconfig: - 20 80
# description: Starts and stops the OMNI Naming service
#
exec="/sdcard/data/com.axiosengineering.rhmanager/omniORB/bin/omniNames"
prog="omniNames"
logdir="/sdcard/data/com.axiosengineering.rhmanager/omniORB/logs"
logfile="/sdcard/data/com.axiosengineering.rhmanager/omniORB/logs/omninames-localhost.err.log"
options=" -start -always -logdir $logdir -errlog $logfile"
start() {
#[ -x $exec ] || exit 5
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
$exec $options
}
get_pid() {
ps | grep omniNames
}
case "$1" in
start)
start && exit 0
$1
;;
pid)
get_pid
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|try-restart|reload|force-reload}"
exit 2
esac
exit $?
And here's the IStatusListener interface
Code:
public interface IStatusListener {
public void running(boolean running);
}
Runtime.exec() has some pitfalls. See this helpful Runtime.exec tutorial for a nice explanation.

[Q][SOLVED]Get path and size of SDcard in Android 4.4 KitKat

Hello everyone, I have an app on Google Play that shows the end user information about their device. Within this information, a Memory/Storage category is shown. Everything was good and fine until mean ol` KitKat wanted to deny access to the SDcard... Although I can understand Google's move on that subject, it can not go un-noticed that it may break many app's functionality (like my own). Anyhow, below is my class that scans for mount points, and stores them in an ArrayList. I used some code from StackOverflow somewhere, but I do not have the link.
StorageUtils :
Code:
public class StorageUtils {
private static final String TAG = "StorageUtils";
public static class StorageInfo {
public final String path;
public final boolean internal;
public final boolean readonly;
public final int display_number;
StorageInfo(String path, boolean internal, boolean readonly,
int display_number) {
this.path = path;
this.internal = internal;
this.readonly = readonly;
this.display_number = display_number;
}
}

continue;
}

The suspected error is right here in the logcat:

is there any alternative to retrieving sdCards sizes, or should I simply display a dialog stating that I have no control over Google's decision in Android 4.4, and apologize for the inconvenince?
Also, while I'm at it: On some models of Android devices, the sizes of the SDcard are all out of whack. Some showing more used space than total, and innacurate readings. This seems to only happen with internal/emulated storage. What is the most accurate way of getting sizes of all SDcard locations?
Thank you kindly for your time, Happy Coding!

Fully Functional
Got it working after further looking into android documentation, and implementing new methods:
Within analyzing storage method:
Code:
...
ArrayList<StorageInfo> storageInfoList = StorageUtils.getStorageList();
tvStorageAName = (TextView) getView().findViewById(R.id.tvStorageAName);
tvStorageBName = (TextView) getView().findViewById(R.id.tvStorageBName);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
kitKatWorkaround();
} else if (storageInfoList.size() > 0) {
tvStorageAName.setText(storageInfoList.get(0).path);
devStorageA = StorageUtils.getReadableFileSize(
(StorageUtils.getUsedSpace(storageInfoList.get(0).path)),
true)
+ "/"
+ StorageUtils.getReadableFileSize((StorageUtils
.getTotalSpace(storageInfoList.get(0).path)), true);
if (storageInfoList.size() > 1) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT
&& !storageInfoList.get(0).internal) {
kitKatWorkaround();
}
tvStorageBName.setText(storageInfoList.get(1).path);
devStorageB = StorageUtils.getReadableFileSize(
StorageUtils.getUsedSpace(storageInfoList.get(1).path)
+ (StorageUtils.getUsedSpace("system/")), true)
+ "/"
+ StorageUtils.getReadableFileSize((StorageUtils
.getTotalSpace(storageInfoList.get(1).path)),
true);
} else {
devStorageB = "N/A";
}
} else {
devStorageA = "N/A";
devStorageB = "N/A";
}
...
kitKatWorkaround();
Code:
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public void kitKatWorkaround() {
tvStorageA = (TextView) getView().findViewById(R.id.tvStorageA);
tvStorageB = (TextView) getView().findViewById(R.id.tvStorageB);
File[] sdCards = getActivity().getApplicationContext()
.getExternalCacheDirs();
if (sdCards.length > 0) {
File sdCard1 = sdCards[0];
tvStorageAName.setText(sdCard1.getAbsolutePath()
.replace(
"Android/data/" + getActivity().getPackageName()
+ "/cache", ""));
devStorageA = StorageUtils.getReadableFileSize(
(StorageUtils.getUsedSpace(sdCard1.getAbsolutePath())),
true)
+ "/"
+ StorageUtils.getReadableFileSize((StorageUtils
.getTotalSpace(sdCard1.getAbsolutePath())), true);
if (sdCards.length > 1) {
File sdCard2 = sdCards[1];
tvStorageBName.setText(sdCard2.getAbsolutePath().replace(
"Android/data/" + getActivity().getPackageName()
+ "/cache", ""));
devStorageB = StorageUtils.getReadableFileSize(
(StorageUtils.getUsedSpace(sdCard2.getAbsolutePath())),
true)
+ "/"
+ StorageUtils.getReadableFileSize((StorageUtils
.getTotalSpace(sdCard2.getAbsolutePath())),
true);
} else {
devStorageB = "N/A";
}
} else {
devStorageA = "N/A";
devStorageB = "N/A";
}
tvStorageA.setText(devStorageA);
tvStorageB.setText(devStorageB);
}
Just going to leave this out there, it works on at least Android 3.0+ that I have tested. Using StorageUtils retrieve all available mount points, and use code above to setText() path and size
Feel free to use this if it helps (don't forget the thanks button) :good:

How can I loop through my JSON object?

I am new to Java and I am getting kind of stuck by trying to loop through my JSON. I am retrieving a JSON object where I want to loop through.
My JSON looks as follow:
Code:
{"message":{"2":[{"uid":"2","title":"","message":"Test1","success":1,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"3":[{"uid":"3","title":"","message":"Test2 !","success":1,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"4":[{"uid":"4","title":"Bla","message":"Test3!","success":1,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}]}}
I tried a loop like this:
Code:
for(int i = 0; i<json.names().length(); i++){
try {
Log.v("TEST", "key = " + json.names().getString(i) + " value = " + json.get(json.names().getString(i)));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
But this will only target "message" which includes the whole JSON "string". I want to loop through each message and retrieving the value of uid 1, uid 2 etc. How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Here is how I'm doing it:
Code:
private static final String AllNewsItemsURL = "some_url_here.php";
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String NEWS = "news";
private static final String TITLE = "title";
private static final String STORY = "story";
private final JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
private JSONArray newsItems = null;
..... / code snipped / ....
try {
JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(AllNewsItemsURL, params);
int success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
newsItems = json.getJSONArray(NEWS);
for (int i = 0; i < newsItems.length(); i++) {
JSONObject obj = newsItems.getJSONObject(i);
Integer id = i + 1;
String title = obj.getString(TITLE);
String story = obj.getString(STORY);
}
} else {
Log.e("JSON Response", "success == 0");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Thanks for your reply. I tried it but getting this exception:
Code:
org.json.JSONException: Value {"2":[{"uid":"2","title":"","message":"Test1","success":1,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"3":[{"uid":"3","title":"","message":"Test2","success":1,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"4":[{"uid":"4","title":"Bla","message":"Test3","success":1,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}]} at messages of type org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray

You might want to try the matching JSONParser I have for it, sorry forgot to include it:
https://github.com/JonnyXDA/WGSB/bl...om/jonny/wgsb/material/parser/JSONParser.java
Also noting that your entire JSON Array is called "message" but you also have a parameter called "message" - maybe rename the Array to "messages"?
As for the code you should have something like:
Code:
private static final String AllNewsItemsURL = "some_url_here.php";
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String MESSAGES = "messages";
private static final String TITLE = "title";
private static final String MESSAGE = "message";
private final JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
private JSONArray messageItems = null;
..... / code snipped / ....
try {
JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(AllNewsItemsURL, params);
int success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
messageItems = json.getJSONArray(MESSAGES);
for (int i = 0; i < messageItems.length(); i++) {
JSONObject obj = messageItems.getJSONObject(i);
String title = obj.getString(TITLE);
String message = obj.getString(MESSAGE);
}
} else {
Log.e("JSON Response", "success == 0");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

My code looks like the this:
Code:
//Message task
MessageTask task = new MessageTask(DashboardActivity.class);
task.execute();
try {
json = task.get();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
int success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
messageItems = json.getJSONArray(MESSAGES);
for (int i = 0; i < messageItems.length(); i++) {
JSONObject obj = messageItems.getJSONObject(i);
String title = obj.getString(TITLE);
String message = obj.getString(MESSAGE);
}
} else {
Log.e("JSON Response", "success == 0");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I am using Async Task to retrieve my JSON.
And my JSON parser looks like this:
Code:
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
public JSONObject getJSONFromUrl(String url, List<NameValuePair> params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
Log.e("JSON", json);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
But it doesn't get through the if statement, because it can't find the value success. ( org.json.JSONException: No value for success ). Don't really know what I am doing wrong here. Is it because I am using AsyncTask and retrieving my JSON the wrong way?
I also renamed my Array to "messages", stupid mistake thanks!

We're getting closer! With regards to using AsyncTask - thats fine and the recommended way to do service side sync/download operations (doesn't block the UI thread) so no need to change that.
I just took a look at my reference JSON and I have the success tag outside of an item eg:
Code:
{"topical":[{"tid":"5","title":"Exam countdown... just 12 weeks left!","story":"some_story_text_here","staff":"0","red":"0","show":"1"}],[COLOR="red"]"success":1[/COLOR]}
Whereas your success tag is put in each item:
Code:
{"message":{"2":[{"uid":"2","title":"","message":"Test1","[COLOR="red"]success":1,[/COLOR]"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"3":[{"uid":"3","title":"","message":"Test2 !",[COLOR="red"]"success":1[/COLOR],"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"4":[{"uid":"4","title":"Bla","message":"Test3!","[COLOR="Red"]success":1[/COLOR],"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}]}}
I'm guessing that your php line for:
PHP:
$response["success"] = 1;
is inside of the while loop:
PHP:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
Taking it out of the while loop should fix that

That makes sense, because I am trying to get a success code for my whole JSON response. I changed my PHP code to:
Code:
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array( $messages )) {
// create rowArr
$rowArr = array(
'uid' => $row['id'],
'title' => $row['title'],
'message' => $row["message"],
'created_at' => $row['created_at'],
'updated_at' => $row['updated_at'],
);
// store rowArr in $return_arr
$return_arr[$row['id']][] = $rowArr;
}
$return_arr['success'] = 1;
// Json encode
echo json_encode(array("messages" => $return_arr));
}
Retrieving the following JSON:
Code:
{"messages":{"2":[{"uid":"2","title":"","message":"Test1","created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"3":[{"uid":"3","title":"","message":"Test2 !","created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"4":[{"uid":"4","title":"Bla","message":"Test3!","created_at":null,"updated_at":null}],"success":1}}
But I am still getting the following exception:
Code:
org.json.JSONException: No value for success

The success tag is still being encoded as part of an inner array, not the first array - try this:
PHP:
if (mysql_num_rows($messages) > 0) {
$response["messages"] = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($messages)) {
$messagesArray= array(
'uid' => $row['id'],
'title' => $row['title'],
'message' => $row['message'],
'created_at' => $row['created_at'],
'updated_at' => $row['updated_at'],
);
array_push($response["messages"], $messagesArray);
}
$response["success"] = 1;
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "No messages found";
echo json_encode($response);
}

And it's finally working!
Getting the following JSON result:
Code:
{"tag":"message","success":1,"error":0,"messages":[{"uid":"2","title":"","message":"Test1","created_at":null,"updated_at":null},{"uid":"3","title":"","message":"Test2!","created_at":null,"updated_at":null},{"uid":"4","title":"Bla","message":"Test3!","created_at":null,"updated_at":null}]}
And I can successfully loop through my JSON with the following code:
Code:
try {
int success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
messageItems = json.getJSONArray(MESSAGES);
for (int i = 0; i < messageItems.length(); i++) {
JSONObject obj = messageItems.getJSONObject(i);
String title = obj.getString(TITLE);
String message = obj.getString(MESSAGE);
Log.e("TITLE :", title);
Log.e("MESSAGE :", message);
}
} else {
Log.e("JSON Response", "success == 0");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Thank you very much! So the problem was that I placed the "success" tag outside my Array?
