[CODE] Launching shell commands - Droid Eris Android Development

Basic command launch. Here I am using it to start/stop dropbear shhD. Sloppy? Yes, Dirty? Yes Works? Yes.
Code:
package net.andirc.dropbear;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class dropbear extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setTitle("DropBear");
alert.setMessage("Start or Kill");
alert.setPositiveButton("Start", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
Process myproc = null;
BufferedReader reader = null;
try
{
myproc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {"su", "-c", "dropbear"});
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(myproc.getInputStream()));
String line;
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String separator = System.getProperty("line.separator");
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
sb.append(line);
sb.append(separator);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
finally {}
System.exit(0);
}
});
alert.setNegativeButton("Kill", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
Process myproc = null;

try
{
myproc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {"su", "-c", "kill $(ps | grep dropbear | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2)"});

Thanks for contributing the code, but I'm not sure why you think it's dirty? Based on my java experience (and my limited Android dev experience) that is how I would have done it.

Base on my utter lack of experience, and the fact that its pasted together from here and there. I assume there is a far cleaner way of doing it. Maybe not, works for me.
So nice not needing a cable to pull up a shell.

Totally stumped...zoom control issue

I'm developing an application that utilizes zooming in and out (for readability) and allows for swiping left and right to change pages.
Basically the flipping back and forth part works and zoom works. However, if I do any kind of zooming and then try to change a page the program crashes.
I've only tested this on the Epic 4G and on the G2 with the same problem.
Any help that can tell me what is going on or what I need to change would be greatly appreciated. (I tried to code out on the net to fix the HTC incredible having this kind of issue but the problem is still there)

Help with ViewPager and Fragments

Hi all!
I've been developing an app that uses various things from my college and centralizes them in one app. I've made the app with two tabs - one for current students and one for prospective students. I would like to add the functionality of swiping between the two activities, and I saw that to do that, I want to convert my currentStudents and prospectiveStudents activities into fragments.
I have a couple of questions.
First, I don't quite understand how to accomplish converting the activities into fragments.
Second, I don't quite understand how to implement the viewPager effect.
If anyone can assist me in doing this, that'd be great. I've read through a lot of guides, but those guides are written to reflect other apps and it's pretty confusing.
Here is my MainActivity:
Code:
package com.andrew.obu;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TabHost.OnTabChangeListener;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;
public class MainActivity extends TabActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
TabSpec cstudents = tabHost.newTabSpec("Current Students");
cstudents.setIndicator("Students");
Intent cstudentsIntent = new Intent(this, CurrentStudents.class);
cstudents.setContent(cstudentsIntent);
TabSpec prospects = tabHost.newTabSpec("Prospectives");
prospects.setIndicator("Prospectives");
Intent prospectsIntent = new Intent(this, ProspectiveStudents.class);
prospects.setContent(prospectsIntent);
tabHost.addTab(cstudents);
tabHost.addTab(prospects);
tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
tabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(new OnTabChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onTabChanged(String arg0) {
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
setTabColor(tabHost);
}
});
setTabColor(tabHost);
}
public void setTabColor(TabHost tabhost) {
for(int i=0;i<tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();i++)
tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK); //unselected
if(tabhost.getCurrentTab()==0)
tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tabhost.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(34, 34, 34)); //1st tab selected
else
tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tabhost.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(34, 34, 34)); //2nd tab selected

I recommend you to use ActionBarSherlock library: http://actionbarsherlock.com
Take a look at the samples and it will be easy to do what you ask for. At first, it may take a while to learn how to use this library, but you will not regret it since you will use it several times in the future for sure.
The coolest thing about this library is that it is compatible with older Android versions. I.e. The swipe effect will be available for Ice Cream users while for Froyo users will see two clickable tabs :good:
First of all, you can't swipe between activities. You can only swipe between fragments. Think of the activity as a container which holds your two fragments.
This is an example of a ListFragment:
Code:
public static class TitlesFragment extends ListFragment {
boolean mDualPane;
int mCurCheckPosition = 0;
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
// Populate list with our static array of titles.
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1, Shakespeare.TITLES));
// Check to see if we have a frame in which to embed the details
// fragment directly in the containing UI.
View detailsFrame = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.details);
mDualPane = detailsFrame != null && detailsFrame.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE;
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
// Restore last state for checked position.
mCurCheckPosition = savedInstanceState.getInt("curChoice", 0);
}
if (mDualPane) {
// In dual-pane mode, the list view highlights the selected item.
getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
// Make sure our UI is in the correct state.
showDetails(mCurCheckPosition);
}
}
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putInt("curChoice", mCurCheckPosition);
}
@Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
showDetails(position);
}
/**
* Helper function to show the details of a selected item, either by
* displaying a fragment in-place in the current UI, or starting a
* whole new activity in which it is displayed.
*/
void showDetails(int index) {
mCurCheckPosition = index;
if (mDualPane) {
// We can display everything in-place with fragments, so update
// the list to highlight the selected item and show the data.
getListView().setItemChecked(index, true);
// Check what fragment is currently shown, replace if needed.
DetailsFragment details = (DetailsFragment)
getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.details);
if (details == null || details.getShownIndex() != index) {
// Make new fragment to show this selection.
details = DetailsFragment.newInstance(index);
// Execute a transaction, replacing any existing fragment
// with this one inside the frame.
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
if (index == 0) {
ft.replace(R.id.details, details);
} else {
ft.replace(R.id.a_item, details);
}
ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
ft.commit();
}
} else {
// Otherwise we need to launch a new activity to display
// the dialog fragment with selected text.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(getActivity(), DetailsActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("index", index);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
I can't help you there because I've never worked with lists.
As for the swiping effect, build your project with a minimum SDK of 14 (ICS) and choose swipe-able tabs navigation. The ADT will do the job for you. Later, in order to maintain compatibility, use ABS library as patedit suggested.
Good luck
To implement a ViewPager, just add ViewPager to XML layout, and set a FragmentPageAdapter to it.
You must use support package from Android SDK and FragmentActivity instead of Activitiy.
You can examine source code of API Demos package to know more.

[Help]Create App

Hi Guys,
I open this thread because I need help:I would like to create an app which do a login on a website(my website)...any suggest?I'm a noob D:... ty
Try going through this tutorial
http://www.edumobile.org/android/android-development/login-request-example-in-android/
Ty so much for your answer but it helps me only at 50% ,because I would like this app connect to my website...at the moment it compare user and password insert ty to this function:
if((txtUserName.getText().toString()).equals(txtPassword.getText().toString())){
Toast.makeText(LoginRequestExample.this, "Login Successful",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else{
Toast.makeText(LoginRequestExample.this, "Invalid Login",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
What do I have to modify for making it compare user and password on mine online database?

I use this two methods to log on the internet. As you understand downloadUrl(URL); gives you what site tells you. I can recommend you to use special URLs in order to log in(for example example.com/auth.php?req=login&pass=....&login=....)
Code:
private String downloadUrl(String myurl) throws IOException {
InputStream is = null;
int len = 500;
try {
URL url = new URL(myurl);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setDoInput(true);
// Starts the query
conn.connect();
//int response = conn.getResponseCode();
//Log.d("NaviLogin", "The response is: " + response);
is = conn.getInputStream();
// Convert the InputStream into a string
String contentAsString = readIt(is, len);
return contentAsString;
// Makes sure that the InputStream is closed after the app is
// finished using it.
} finally {
if (is != null) {
is.close();
}
}
}
public String readIt(InputStream stream, int len) throws IOException, UnsupportedEncodingException {

URL of your site with sonething containig your password and login and server should give you answer if your pass and login are in database or not
So,in the end it should be something like this?
package com.example.LoginRequestExample;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class LoginRequestExample extends Activity {
EditText txtUserName;
EditText txtPassword;
Button btnLogin;
Button btnCancel; 
 @override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login_request_example);
txtUserName=(EditText)this.findViewById(R.id.txtUname);
txtPassword=(EditText)this.findViewById(R.id.txtPwd);
btnLogin=(Button)this.findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);
btnLogin=(Button)this.findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);

// Convert the InputStream into a string

}
}
);

Right?Are there any errors?
I've clean it up for you.
Replace google.com with your website.
Make sure your website takes username and password as a GET input.
The variable responseContent takes the result of the website after login in.

How to retrieve and use onItemClick position for shell commands?

How can I use the onItemClick position? I am able to do so with switch/case, but I am not able to figure out how to do it straight into a shell command. If I use switch/case my class file is going to be huge.
Class:
Code:
public class CustomDialogClass extends Activity {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout_main);
LayoutParams params = getWindow().getAttributes();
params.width = 300;
params.height = 600;
getWindow().setAttributes((android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams) params);
//requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
final ListView listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
String[] values = new String[] { "first", "second", "third" };
final ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < values.length; ++i) {
list.add(values[i]);
}
final StableArrayAdapter adapter = new StableArrayAdapter(this,
R.layout.arraystyle, list);
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
listview.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, final View view,
int position, long id) {
// What to do? :<
}
//////////////////////////
});
}
private class StableArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
HashMap<String, Integer> mIdMap = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
public StableArrayAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,
List<String> objects) {
super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
for (int i = 0; i < objects.size(); ++i) {
mIdMap.put(objects.get(i), i);
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public long getItemId(int position) {
String item = getItem(position);
return mIdMap.get(item);
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public boolean hasStableIds() {
return true;
}
}
}
The command I want to use upon onClick
Code:
Process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(suProcess.getOutputStream());
out.flush();
out.close();
How can I run it like Process suProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su " + position); ?
PS: Yes I know "su first", "su second" aren't real commands. Just trying to figure this out.
Use su -c:
Code:
runtime.exec(new String[] {"su", "-c", "mkdir /data/data/aaab; mkdir /data/data/aaac"});
The semicolon divides different commands.
However, I recommend using the roottools library. It is much easier: http://code.google.com/p/roottools/wiki/Usage
I know about -c. I was asking how I could execute the command + whatever someone clicks on my menu. My menu is just a listview with numbers/words, and I would like for onClick to parse the command + position, where position is the button they clicked (the string).

Turn your class into a ListActivity or ListFragment.
Then override the onListItemClicked method. One parameter is the view v which is clicked. If it is a layout you can get the TextView that way:
Code:
v.findViewById( <your id >)
Get its text using the getText() method.
A second way to achieve the same would be getting the position (the third parameter) and getting the value from the Collection you used for the Adapter.

url loading handling in webview

Basic question, what did i do? Hahaha. What did i do to make url load inside webview?
At first i overridden shouldOverrideUrlLoading to control where the link loads, then i one time i removed it but url still loads inside webview. And now i need to once again override url loading because i need a link to be opened on the default browser, but i don't know how. I even tried what others suggested to force url loading on the default browser, but it doesn't work. Please help me. Here's my code:

Should i include manifest? Thanks in advance.
That's a messed Op . If your code is short. use code tags. If its big, use paste bin to make it easy for people to read the question and answer it!

He just said that you should wrap your code into
Code:
tags or upload it elsewhere because nobody will read it as it is right now. Can you read that code from your browser? If you put it into [CODE] tags, it will look like this: [URL]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44976604#post44976604[/URL]
