[CODE][Q] Pass extra twice(image to mms), or use lastIndexOf() to get file?

Ok so this may get sort of complicated, but I'll try to explain it simply.
I have a mainActivity(viewpager). i take a screenshot of this from ABS options menu. This gets saved to sdcard . WORKS FINE
Code:
this is selecting from the actionbar menu
else if (item.getTitle().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("Take Screengrab")) {
View v1 = R1.getRootView();
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bm = v1.getDrawingCache();
Util.saveBitmap(bm, "folder", "screenshot");
//the above are the folder I chose to name, and the screenshotname{without additional numbering}
BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(bm);
image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image4);
//imageview is above. second ativity is below
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Screenshots.class);
intent.putExtra("image", bm);
//"image" is my extra
startActivity(intent);
I send that while its saving, to an ImageView in a second(normal) activity. WORKS FINE
Code:
[user=439709]@override[/user]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.screenshots);
//The ImageView where the screenshot goes
ImageView image=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image4);
//This "imageId" isnt used, but for some reason the Imageview wont set without it
Intent intent = getIntent();
int imageId = intent.getIntExtra("imageId", -1); // -1 would be a default value//
//this gets my extra
Bitmap bm = (Bitmap)this.getIntent().getParcelableExtra("image");
image.setImageBitmap(bm);
I have a button to share it, it opens with picture attached. SORT OF WORKING
The thing is, I want to automatically pass this same extra Bitmap and attach it to the message.
i can open a message with a known file attached.
Code:
{
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:0000000");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, smsUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/folder/screenshot.png"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Today");
startActivity(intent);
i tried the working in putExtra to the message, but I get a toast from the messaging app "Sorry, cannot attach this image". NO STACK ERRORS. nothign in the logs I can use.
Code:
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:0000000");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, smsUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("image"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Today");
startActivity(intent);
and other stuff like that that.
I currently am loading a known file into the message and it works perfect. Problem is, I wont know the name of the file, because my screenshots get saved as image1, image2, etc. So it will be different in every case.
So im wondering if its even possible to pass and extra through twice like that, or if I should look into return the latest image in that sdcard folder with like lastIndexOf(), or something similar.
basically, is there a way to simply query find and attach the highest numbered file? without a GUI(i can do select from gallery, but am trying to make it more automated).
any thoughts would be appreciated.
P.S. i know about the lint errors and things, and somewhat sloppy self taught java, but its working. only worried about the image passing.

I would just pass the filename to the share intent. In your saving method return the file name and pass it to the Uri.
lastIndexOf is a bad idea. What will you do if somebody saves a file called "xyz" in the same directory? The app will send this every time. So store the filename and pass it to the Uri.

Yeah I had originally tried going about it that, with like getFileStreamPath and things like that, tried about a dozen different things but couldnt get them working. best i can get is that "sorry cant add..." message from the messaging app, which tells me that its passing the image, but it cant attach for some unknown reason(too large doesn't seem right, cuz i can do it with the known file name).
im a dum dum a probably should put this util class
Code:
static String saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, String dir, String baseName) {
try {
File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File pictureDir = new File(sdcard, dir);
pictureDir.mkdirs();
File f = null;
for (int i = 1; i < 200; ++i) {
String name = baseName + i + ".png";
f = new File(pictureDir, name);
if (!f.exists()) {
break;
}
}
if (!f.exists()) {
String name = f.getAbsolutePath();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(name);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
//how to get "name" in third activity
return name;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
/*
if (fos != null) {
fos.close();
}
*/
}
return null;
}
So I have the name there, but just cant get it over to the messaging. I'm wondering if I should take the pic and automaticaaly pin it to the MMS, and skip the imageview part?

First: Please get a logcat.
Second: This should be working if you use the right path:
Code:
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:0000000");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, smsUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("<path here>"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Today");
startActivity(intent);
(got it from your first post)

1. This is a for instance situtation of if i try sliding the extra or something else into Uri.parse()
E/Mms/compose( 1063): DRM error in onActivityResult()!
E/Mms/media( 1063): IOException caught while opening or reading stream
E/Mms/media( 1063): java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: image
But the content of image makes it into the ImageView(as "getParcelableExtra("image"), just not in the MMS, so I don't know.
2. Yeah it works Perfect when I hardcode in a file( sdcard/folder/image1.png). attaches and sends perfect.
The problem is basically I have a loose understanding of how I should be doing this, and just cant figure out how I should properly be getting it to load.
Banging my head against the wall on this one. lol. :fingers-crossed:

The problem is that you do not pass the right file name. So it cannot find the file.
---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------
Change it to this and tell us the log output:
Code:
static String saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, String dir, String baseName) {
try {
File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File pictureDir = new File(sdcard, dir);
pictureDir.mkdirs();
File f = null;
for (int i = 1; i < 200; ++i) {
String name = baseName + i + ".png";
f = new File(pictureDir, name);
if (!f.exists()) {
break;
}
}
if (!f.exists()) {
Log.d("file", "file does not exist");
String name = f.getAbsolutePath();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(name);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
//how to get "name" in third activity
if (name != null) {
Log.d("return", name);
} else {
Log.d("return", "name = null");
}
return name;
} else {
Log.d("file", "file exists");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
/*
if (fos != null) {
fos.close();
}
*/
}
Log.d("return", "null");
return null;
}
I just inserted some debugging things. Check the logcat (and post it).
Did you add this to your manifest?
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

i know! I just need a way to get what my Util class returns as name. then open that attached to Message. It seems like it should be a lot easier than I am making it.
i added your logs, but the only match back I get is here (I put in some extra stuff)

Yeah, I took 162 screenshots so far trying to get this. lol.
And yeah I declared the right permissions and everything. It takes the screenshot, saves it, and passes it to an ImageView in a different activity perfectly.
I can open Messaging, or FB,picassa, etc. It appends the text, but no image. BUT, i can simply hit attach from the opened message, and add in whatever picture I want.
I thought about just sending people into the gallery to pick, but the android numbering convention doesn't load images in sequential order, but a sort of numerical alphabetical( it saves likes 1, 10, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,21,22,etc). At least this is with quickpic.
So they really get jumbled up, especially with 100+ in there(1, 10,100,11,12). And the point of this segment of the app is to share the most recent image.
i also dont want to just use the currentsystem time, because a ton of numbers is too confusing if they want to find a different one.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Let's try:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]String path = Utils.saveBitmap(bitmap, dir, baseName);[/COLOR] //replace Utils by your class name
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:0000000");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, smsUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.[COLOR="Red"]fromFile(path)[/COLOR]);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Today");
[COLOR="Red"]intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);[/COLOR]
startActivity(intent);

Took awhile to get Eclipse to accept it, but now I get

Starting to think I should just dump the whole imageview thing.
i need to figure out if i can save to SD how I am doing, and ALSO save to a cache (and overwrite other ones, so only one image persists there)

W/ActivityManager( 181): Force finishing activity com.MYAPP/.Screenshots
W/WindowManager( 181)
Starting to think I should just dump the whole imageview thing.
i need to figure out if i can save to SD how I am doing, and ALSO save to a cache (and overwrite other ones, so only one image persists there)

Post your code. We cannot help you if you just say "I changed this line."
It is not getFile but fromFile.

HaHa I know, im not trying to throw puzzles out at people randomly.
But the errors in the log were from those new lines(in red)
the string path
and fromFile path ones
I may be getting somewhere with this though, i found a little section on stackoverflow that i hadn't seen in the other 30 questions about images or screenshots. :fingers-crossed:
Plus i glad I always have about 5 other projects on can work on when I get stuck.

The problem occurs in the saveBitmap method. For that reason the path is null and then a NPE is thrown. Check your code to save the bitmap.

Camera Preview

Im trying to start a simple app and i need to display on a SurfaceView the preview of the cam as soon as the App start.
i added the permission to the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
and my code:
Code:
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
public class MainActivity extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
SurfaceView mSurfaceView;
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
public Camera camera = null;
public MainActivity(Context context) {
super(context);
mSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
mHolder = mSurfaceView.getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera = Camera.open();
try{
camera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
} catch(Exception e){
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
Camera.Parameters params = camera.getParameters();
params.setPreviewSize(width,height);
camera.setParameters(params);
camera.startPreview();
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera.stopPreview();
camera = null;
}
}
Ive looked for many tutorial and all technically do the same or smiliart stuff. But the app crashes. I cant find a solution

On Eclipse i know how to show the windows of the LogCat, but cant really find it here on Android Studio.
Im a bit newby about this sorry, coming from PHP using just Notepad.
Guess i found it, added log cat
I saw some tutorial like this, im not sure why it doesnt start.
Is it for te onCreate method missing? but i saw that for other works anyway like this
Btw i've also triyed an other way, but stills give me errors. i could upload that one too, different logcat.
Hope one of the two could be solved

In Android you normally do not use the constructor of an Activity for anything.
Use the onCreate method instead.
EDIT: The log says that the constructor must be empty.

I thought about that (even if i saw video tutorial doing it) so i tried wht onCreate method and now it seams to give problem with the setParameters?
Ive uploaded the new code and logcats before

Ah. Check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3890381/camera-setparameters-failed-in-android

i tryed that at th beggin, and didnt work, in fact i tried it again and still give me the same error apparently

While I'm still learning myself, it looks like you are getting a failed camera permission. And then it tries to pass in an invalid parameter to the camera.

But cant understand which one and how should i do. it ryed the 2 ways everybody does

What phone are you trying this on? Have you tried it in an emulator?

After getting home and I was able to try your second piece of code. It looks like it is a problem with <CODE>params.setPreviewSize(arg2, arg3);</CODE>, it doesn't like the width and height arguments. I found THIS(second answer). and after plugging it into your code it was working for me. If you like I can show you the modified code, altho its real easy to plug in.

i tryed his first example and finally i get his "distoted" image. When i'll have time ill try the rets thnk u very much
ill try this:
Code:
Camera.Size getBestPreviewSize(int width, int height, Camera.Parameters parameters) {
Camera.Size result=null;
float dr = Float.MAX_VALUE;
float ratio = (float)width/(float)height;
for (Camera.Size size : parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes()) {
float r = (float)size.width/(float)size.height;
if( Math.abs(r - ratio) < dr && size.width <= width && size.height <= height ) {
dr = Math.abs(r - ratio);
result = size;
}
}
return result;
}
Code:
ublic void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
// Now that the size is known, set up the camera parameters and begin
// the preview.
if (isPreviewRunning) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
}
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
List<Size> sizes = parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
Size optimalSize = getBestPreviewSize( w, h, parameters);
parameters.setPreviewSize(optimalSize.width, optimalSize.height);
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
mCamera.startPreview();
isPreviewRunning =true;
}
im not sure abot the 3rd parameter of the getBestPreviewSize method which one is it. Like this is still distorted

Yeah, I could never fix the distortion back when I was trying my camera app. But I think I will tinker with it again. Keep this updated if you find anything, I will also.

[Q] Write to file (not sdcard)

How can you write to a file that is not in the sdcard, it's a highscore text file that I just want my int "clicked" to go in there.
(Lol yeah.)

I doubt you can write text into a file that is NOT in the sdcard, unless you have root permission. However, you can store those highscores etc in a SQLite Database or SharedPreferences.

Okey, thanks! Then how would I be able to write to SharedPreferences (as it seems it is much easier than SQLiteDatabase?)
I read the site but couldn't manage it.

Create a SharedPreferences.Editor object and use its put... methods with a tag for your int. Then call apply() or commit() and retrieve the value later with a PreferenceManager (setDefaultValues(this, R.xml.whatever, false) and getDefaultSharedPreferences (this) ... ). It's the usual way to get preferences, same as if you saved them in a PreferenceActivity.

You CAN create a text file on the /data directory without root permissions!
However, this can be done just in the directory of your app. Check this tutorial: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/files.html#WriteInternalStorage
It IS possible!

For SharedPreferences:
Instantiate a new SharedPreferences:
Code:
SharedPreferences prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("com.example.app", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
To edit a value:
Code:
prefs.edit().putString("highscore", "12345").commit();
where "putString" can be "putInt", "putLong" and "highscore" can be any words you want.
To read the value:
Code:
String highscore = prefs.getString("highscore, "0");
where "highscore" must be the same value a the one when you're editing, and 0 is the default value if there is no value stored previously.
To save a file like what Nikwen said:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13161470/saving-file-in-internal-storage-android
----------------
However in my opinion, I think SharedPreference is easier as everything is handled by the OS itself, without you needing to read the file line by line, parse the data and get what you need.

how can we access the committed data from another class?

You can only get access to the SharedPreferences from an activity or a class with an activity context like a dialog with getActivity(). Then use the SharedPreferences prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("com.whatever",...)

What means with "com.example.app"? Is that just my package? And where should the file be placed in eclipse before running?
If I got like a number that is changing each time I click a button, and then I timer that counts from 60 down to 0, when it's on 0 I have onFinish method, what should I put there to make the text inside highscore.txt file to edit to what my int is (clicked)?
It's hard to explain.. :/
Edit:
I have this code:
Code:
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("com.SAH.clickr", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String highscore = prefs.getString("highscore", "0");
final TextView text2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.highscore);
text2.setText("Highscore: " + highscore);
When running it has to force close upon start (this code is in the onCreate method).
I get this error in the logcat:

Your shared preferences object is null I guess try SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreference(this) ;
I suggest use a sqlite database for highscore shared preferences can easily be tampred

To avoid Sql and
To prevent tampering of highscore data try simple encoding like representing 1 by 'a' in the shared preference value or something else of that kind

Forget everything below, I fixed it, I just put "inputStream.read()" instead of inputStream in "if(inputStream > clicked)"
Thx everyone.
Now, it just says that I didn't beat my highscore even if it is a 0 inside the text file.. :/
!!OLD BELOW!!
Okey so here's the code that should work, the only thing that is not working is that I want it to write to the file ONLY if the int "clicked" value is higher than the value inside the file.
Code:
Code:
String filename = "highscore.txt";
FileOutputStream outputStream;
FileInputStream inputStream;
try {
outputStream = openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
inputStream = openFileInput(filename);
if(inputStream > clicked){
outputStream.write(clicked);
outputStream.close();
}
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

You cannot compare ints and InputStreams.
You need to read the value from the file as a String using a BufferedReader and then get it as an int using Integer.parseInt().
Then you can compare the values.

[Q] Cherry-Picking help

I want to cherry-pick "custom notification led settings" from purity to my aosp build.
So I went ahead and picked up these two commits
https://github.com/KitKatPurity/pla...mmit/c85834ed460ec99e0752f1f13e58cad74abf844e
and
https://github.com/KitKatPurity/pla...mmit/b37fdf4238b11b0232b12f218294131ea77ec309
The framework part ran well and there was no conflict. The settings part returned a small conflict which I solved myself. Now as I go on compiling, everything compiled good but then at the time of Settings.apk compiling it returned this error.

in DisplaySettings.java I deleted the line which returned the error.
The build compiles fine, boot fines but but when I select display settings, it force closes.
Any help in solving this error is appreciated.

Since this is a question why not post in the section clearly marked for questions??

Thanks for the answer. I discarded all the commits which I took from purity.
Started fresh and picked up the commits from your github. There was 1 conflict in DisplaySettings.java, I solved it and compiled. It then gave me error during compile about volume wake. I deleted those lines in question and compiled again. It compiled fine but after installing the output rom I still got FC when clicking on "Display Settings".
I didn't give up. I discarded all the previous commits again and this time picked up the volume wake commits first and then the LED customization commits and then from PSX commits which you advised. Everything ran well, there was not a single conflict this time. Even there was no error at the time of compilation. BUT as always on installing the rom I got the same FC on clicking Display settings.
Now I have deleted the entire out directory and this time will build fresh lets see if that can help, but for that I can only do it after 8-10 days as I am going out of station.
Thanks for all the help.

Now I have deleted the entire out directory and this time will build fresh lets see if that can help, but for that I can only do it after 8-10 days as I am going out of station.
Thanks for all the help.

Hello, good that you have some progress although you might feel disappointed that it does not work. Here is one reason why I personally do not cherry-pick complex commits as it will also add the lines which are not part of that commit but part of my code.
Anyhow, I believe you missed one small thing which is in android_device_hammerhead. Sorry I forgot that one.

Especially this one in overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
Code:
+ <!-- Is the battery LED intrusive? Used to decide if there should be a disable option -->
+ <bool name="config_intrusiveBatteryLed">true</bool>
+
+ <!-- Does the battery LED support multiple colors? Used to decide if the user can change the colors -->
+ <bool name="config_multiColorBatteryLed">true</bool>
+
I am sure it will work then. Please do not delete everything again when something does not work, post the question first :silly:

@GeyerA you're a genius. I've been working on this for last 1 month and finally succeeded.
As I didnt have access to my laptop and the resolution that u you gave was also possible through apk tool, I sent the framework-res.apk to a friend and asked him to just change those two values to 'true' he did so and sent the same to me and boom it worked. Thank you so very much.

Hello. I am happy to hear; great satisfaction that I could help. But the credit is Dario's from Kitkatpurity and Martin_Ro's from PSX. They helped me a lot and I suffered much more than you. No biggie but please use the thanks button ....

[Q] what the correct way to use ShowcaseView?

when I try to use ShowcaseView I get error
Code:
@override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
final ImageButton saveButton = (ImageButton) view.findViewById(R.id.button_Save);
ViewTarget viewTarget = new ViewTarget(saveButton);
showcaseView = new ShowcaseView.Builder(getActivity())
.setTarget(viewTarget)
.setContentTitle("Reset Button")
.setContentText("This will erase all the data in the table except the line that in progress")
.build();
}
when I tried to do the same thing in my fragmentactivity and didn't work, but when I did the same thing but took a view that declared in the fragmentactivity and not in the fragment it worked.
