Hello,
I just started with developing in csharp for my mobile phone. The first project i'm working on is creating a GPS tracker program that will safe the current GPS location to a text file. This file i'll load to a website from where people can download an google earth file (i prefer php programming )
But to get to the point. The program worked fine untill i added some extra functionality (SystemIdleTimerReset and the date in the name of the datafile)
After adding this the program starts in the emulator, however after 30 seconds (when the trigger start for the first time) it comes with the exception (at the red comment):
Exception was unhandeld
The method or operation is not implemented
My code (i added everything from the main form, since i don't know where the error is)

I removed (commented) the SystemIdleTimerReset function and it works again.
Can someone help me implement this function?
Thanks
Hey guys, this is the first time im trying my hand at android development, im still fairly new to development altogether.
Basically what I'm trying to do at the moment is read a list of folder-names in a particular directory, then write those to another file.
The file I'm writing to is at /data/data/com.rone/files/app_list
I'm trying to read from /data/data/
The app has been given su privileges as well. My issue is that I can't seem to read from any folder other than / (root)
Code:
private OnClickListener sort_listener = new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String datafolders ="";
File dir = new File("/data/data/");
if(dir.isDirectory() && dir.canRead()){
Log.v("DEBUG", dir.getName() + " is the searching directory!");
for(int i = 0; i < dir.list().length; i++) {
datafolders += dir.list()[i] + " \n";
}
}
else {
Log.v("ERROR", "directory does not exist or can not be accessed!");
}
writeFile(datafolders, "app_list");
}
};
public void writeFile(String input, String filename) {
try {
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
fos.write(input.getBytes());
fos.close();
return;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.v("ERROR", e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.v("ERROR", e.getMessage());
}
}
public String readFile(String filename) {
try {
FileInputStream fis = openFileInput(filename);
String temp = "";
int ch;
while ((ch = fis.read()) > -1) {
temp += (char) ch;
}
fis.close();
return temp;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.v("ERROR", e.getMessage());
return "Exception" + e;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.v("ERROR", e.getMessage());
return "Exception" + e;
}
}
It only writes to the file when I use:
Code:
File dir = new File("./");
Also, my app is specifically written for the SGS and I'm using Eclipse. Any way to get and import a custom SGS skin with the Menu and Back button functionality?
No replies? No one knows how to read the directories? Is there a limitation built-in that stops from reading directories? Even with su permissions?
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.

XDA is an awesome place for developers to share their knowledge and help each other, no question about it.
However, in my opinion, one of the flaws that prevent the app development forums from being more popular is the
Code:
tags.
Indeed, these tags do not provide syntax highlighting, and when people start pasting their whole Java class, the lack of proper indentation plus the lack of syntax highlighting leaves us with a very off-putting chunk of code, and even if you intend to help in the first place, having to go through this unreadable code can discourage many.
I was ranting about this in the [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49938207&postcount=1976"]xda suggestions & feedback thread[/URL], when someone pointed-out the existence of the [B][PHP][/B] tags, which provide syntax highlighting for php, and, the syntaxes of PHP and Java being somewhat similar, they also do the trick for Java.

Oddly enough, the [B][PHP][/B] tags also work for XML (while the [html] tags, that do exist, don't work):
[PHP]

This doesn't fix the indentation issues, but as you can see, the code is much more readable and welcoming.
By using the [B][PHP][/B] tags instead of the [strike][CODE][/strike] tags, you will be more likely to get answers to your questions involving code.

Too bad, thanks for reporting :good:
This obviously is just a workaround, xda could quite easily implement a dedicated syntax highlighting plugin for vBulletin as I suggested in the suggestions thread, but for the time being this is probably the closest thing we've got.

They've got it working way better with the CODE tags: Code syntax highlighting announcement!
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 = "";

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?
