How to search StorageFiles - Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking

I need a way to search in StorageFiles with dynamically pattern, which comes from a TextBox. The directive "Windows.Storage.Search" doesnt exist in windows phone 8.1 runtime, as i saw. Now my question is, how can i do this in alternative way?

The only way to do it with WP 8.1 since Microsoft ALWAYS fails to implement the important things are to query using LINQ.
Ex:
Code:
var result = (await Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFilesAsync(Windows.Storage.Search.CommonFileQuery.OrderByName)).
Where(x => x.Name.
Contains(x => txtBox.Text));
That's about all you can do pretty much. (Thanks Microsoft).

Thank you for the example. But it wont work for me, it shows me the following error(s):
Code:
A local variable named 'x' cannot be declared in this scope because it would give a different meaning to 'x', which is already used in a 'parent or current' scope to denote something else
and
Code:
Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'string' because it is not a delegate type
Thats really odd from Microsoft, that they havent implementet the search function like in WinRT (Windows Store App).

The first error is pretty simple. You already have the variable named "x" and it would be very bad if compiler didn't give you that error.
Change the name of the variable to something else that you don't use in that scope and it will work.
And for second problem, try this one:
Code:
private List<string> Result()
{
var result = ((List<Windows.Storage.Search.CommonFileQuery>)Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFilesAsync(Windows.Storage.Search.CommonFileQuery.OrderByName)).Where(x => x.ToString().Contains(txtBox.Text));
return result as List<string>;
}
private async Task<List<string>> ResultAsync()
{
return await Task.Run(() => Result()).ConfigureAwait(continueOnCapturedContext: false);
}
You should call ResultAsync method and get the result in this way:
Code:
List<string> myList = ResultAsync().Result;

That's not going to work. You can't cast a StorageFile as a string.
To fix my code (simple lambda typo)
Code:
var result = (await Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFilesAsync(Windows.Storage.Search.CommonFileQuery.OrderByName)).
Where(x => x.Name.
Contains(txtBox.Text));
if(result.Any())
{
// Do shtuff
}
Also, you should never access the .Result of an async task because you never know if it completed yet.

Ok, first error is done, but the second error is still here
Code:
Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'string' because it is not a delegate type

You are missing the point of the TAP (Task Async Pattern).
Both main thread and async method will be in execution in the same time. When the async method finish his work, main thread will stop and catch the result trough the Result property.
TAP is the recommended way of asynchronous programming in C#. The only thing with TAP is to use ConfigureAwait method in non-console type of apps to avoid deadlock.
Sooner or later you will get the result from TAP method. Nothing will get in the conflict with the main thread.

Oh wait, @andy123456 I updated my response. I forgot String.Contains ISNT a lambda .
@Tonchi91, I know all about the TAP. I've been using it since it was CTP. I've seen the awkward situations with threading in WP .

Now... if he did
Code:
List<string> myList;
ResultAsync().ContinueWith(t=> { myList = t.Result; });
I wouldn't be worried .

Ok the errors are gone, but the debugger show me the following exception:
Code:
Value does not fall within the expected range
Is this search method case-sensitive? I tried with an exact input in the TextBox.

Hmmm. Let's see your full code.

its actually only for testing, so i added your code to a button (asnyc) and will show the output in a textBlock.
Code:
private async void buttonTest_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//Result();
var result = (await Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.CameraRoll.GetFilesAsync(Windows.Storage.Search.CommonFileQuery.OrderByName)).
Where(x => x.Name.
Contains(textBox_test.Text));
if (result.Any())
{
// Do shtuff
textBlock_test.Text = result.ToString();
}
}
The error is coming from here
Code:
var result = (await Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.CameraRoll.GetFilesAsync(Windows.Storage.Search.CommonFileQuery.OrderByName))

Oh Camera Roll.. You MIGHT need to have the capability to view the camera roll enabled. I forget what it's called, but you need a specific cap in order to view from there. Also, I would try to see if you can use a generic folder instead.
I would try Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFilesAsync() as your method after the await just to test whether you can read correctly.

Yes but in wp8.1 runtime app, there arent caps anymore. The capability for access to the pictures is simply calles pictures library and is enabled. I have tested it as you said, but it gives me the same exception.

A quick tip: another way to do this is to use the Win32 C runtime API. You can, for example, use the FindFirst/NextFile functions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364418(v=vs.85).aspx) which support searches using wildcards (* and ? characters in the first parameter). These functions are wrapped in my NativeLibraries classes, but are also just publicly available for third0party developers to call from their own C++ DLLs.
Alternatively, you can use the .NET System.IO.Directory class, which has functions like EnumerateFiles(String path, String searchPattern). This is probably the better way to do it, actually.
Of course, if you want these operations to not block the current thread, you'll need to explicitly put them in their own thread or async function.
EDIT: This also assumes you have read access to the relevant directories. You application data directory works fine, for example (you can get its path from the relevant StorageFolder object). Other directories that can be accessed via WinRT functions may go through a broker function instead of being directly readable.

The point is, that i have an array with filenames. Now i need the StorageFile files which contains these filenames. My idea was to search for these files and return the files as StorageFile, so i can work with these. Or is there a simpler / another way?

http://msicc.net/?p=4182 <-- try this

Thank you, i have already done this and its working. But how can i compare the Files to read, with already read files and take only the not yet read files?

Getting serious about root: FIOASYNC bug

Presently we're running a little short on kernel exploits, with the following being the only one that looks remotely plausible:
http://xorl.wordpress.com/2010/01/14/cve-2009-4141-linux-kernel-fasync-locked-file-use-after-free/
Big hold-up? For all that we have a trigger, we don't have an exploit. I believe it's up to us at this point to make that happen.
If I'm reading it right, it looks like the bug initially rears its head right here:
Code:
void __kill_fasync(struct fasync_struct *fa, int sig, int band)
{
while (fa) {
struct fown_struct * fown;
if (fa->magic != FASYNC_MAGIC) {
printk(KERN_ERR "kill_fasync: bad magic number in "
"fasync_struct!\n");
return;
}
[B]fown = &fa->fa_file->f_owner;[/B]
/* Don't send SIGURG to processes which have not set a
queued signum: SIGURG has its own default signalling
mechanism. */
if (!(sig == SIGURG && fown->signum == 0))
send_sigio(fown, fa->fa_fd, band);
fa = fa->fa_next;
}
}
... as fa_file now points to invalid memory (having been free'd earlier). The f_owner member gets shot out to send_sigio, which look like this:
Code:
void send_sigio(struct fown_struct *fown, int fd, int band)
{
struct task_struct *p;
enum pid_type type;
struct pid *pid;
int group = 1;
read_lock(&fown->lock);
type = fown->pid_type;
if (type == PIDTYPE_MAX) {
group = 0;
type = PIDTYPE_PID;
}
[B]pid = fown->pid;[/B]
if (!pid)
goto out_unlock_fown;
read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
do_each_pid_task(pid, type, p) {
send_sigio_to_task(p, fown, fd, band, group);
} while_each_pid_task(pid, type, p);
read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
out_unlock_fown:
read_unlock(&fown->lock);
}
... in which we see the f_owner member being dereferenced. Also it gets pushed through several other functions which may be exploitable.
There are several questions to be answered before we can start attacking this:
Can we resolve the address of the fa_file data structure so we can overwrite the f_owner value?
Can we do anything with it once we've done that? (Presumably we can set it to zero to cause a null-pointer dereference, but we're mmap_min_addr = 32768 on the most recent versions, so unless we can flag the mmap region to grow down and apply memory pressure to reach page 0 this will do us no good.)
Failing the plan above: are any of the functions that f_owner gets pushed into vulnerable? I evaluated this over the weekend, but without the help of a trained kernel dev I'm not going to get very far.
While I studied a lot of this in uni, I'll admit I'm green when it comes to actually writing these exploits. I'm hoping that this will get the creative juices flowing, and perhaps provide a more comprehensive resource in case any hard-core kernel hackers want to take a look at what we're doing or give us pointers (harhar) in the right direction.
Thanks, guys. Great work up to this point.
In the original POC if you change /bin/true to /system/bin/sh you can get a new shell to open just not as root. So I'm guessing that their needs to be more added to the POC to make it a full exploit.
Right, the fork()'s in the PoC exist only to cause the file descriptor's fasync_struct to be erroneously killed, not start a root session. The root session would need to be started (presumably) by the kernel doing something to our maliciously crafted fown_struct.
The tough part is figuring out exactly where and what that fown_struct needs to be.
Well I definetly agree with you that this seems to be our best best bet I am some what of a newbie when it comes to linux allthough i am learning as i go. Do you know of any good sites to read up on kernel hacking?
Sorry Guys just got the word that this one is dead for us.....
Here is the explantion i got.
some_person said:
Nope, the bug didn't exist in 2.6.27. That's why they say >= 2.6.28 are vulnerable.
As far as how the bug works, there are 2 other issues. 1) our kernel probably wasn't compiled with AT_RANDOM 2) we don't have an elf executable.
The exploit you found does not give us root access, it crashes the system. Basically, you open the "random number generator" file, lock it, and close it... but the lock release when you close it. Then you have to call an elf executable because that generates a random number (running an elf executable) provided the kernel was compiled AT_RANDOM. you continue to call that executable (and generating random numbers) until the the lock is released on the "random number generator" file... then it's your program's turn... the kernel tries to send your program notification that the file is available, but your program has moved on. BLAM the kernel stops (or "oops").

Sorry to dredge up an old thread:
This exploit *will* work. According to Zanfur, the hole is in our kernel. We need to use it without AT_RANDOM (which I dont know how to do).
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2008-10/msg00016.html
I am pretty sure we do have elf executables, here is proof:
% file m6
m6: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
If our kernel is susceptible to this bug then it should work, as long as there is a way to do it without at random.
Though I do not in any way represent my self as a hacker or developer I was wondering if I could throw in my 2 cents. I notice that this bug/exploit won't work because it requires AT RANDOM. I was wondering if it s possible to write code that does what the function does and insert it in. Is root required to do this (i.e. insert code into the kernel that wasn't there before) or is this a matter of know-how? Just some brainstorming I thought that I would throw in.

This won't get us root. Even zanfur said it. Moving on....

To clarify, even if we get AT_RANDOM functionality working, we can't use this to exploit our kernel. All we can do with this is get data from a file that was recently closed. The point of this exploit is to send a signal to a process, but there are no processes we could send a signal to that would give us root.
Our kernel seems practically invulnerable, it appears that almost all exploits are patched

i know and im looking for an answer online too,
but atm i really could do with a quick fix lol
one learns nothing if everything is handed to them
With that said xD.
Code:
Intent myIntent = new Intent();
//being package name & activity name
myIntent.setClassName("jug6ernaut.lwp.tetris", "jug6ernaut.lwp.settings.ColorSettings");
startActivity(myIntent);
note that the activity will have to be identified in you manifest file.
also note that if you are not going to use your life first activity anymore you will probably want to remove it from the activity stack so that when you press the back button it doesnt reopen it.

2G/3G Preferred Network Mode with root?

I'm trying to access the hidden API for Phone.class to switch the preferred network mode via reflection.
I know this is not safe for porting to other android versions/roms and requires a system app to hold permission WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.
I Already managed to switch data via reflection and toggle gps via Settings.Secure.putString() by moving my app to system partition, so i think this should work too.
Does anyone have experience with reflection and/or root and is willing to help?
Of course I will share all my code/findings here.
Thanks in advance!

You can achieve this with a simple sqlite3 query instead of bothering with java reflection
Here's how :
In a terminal :
To enable 2G only
Code:
su
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
insert into global values(null, 'preferred_network_mode', 1);
.exit
To enable 2G & 3G :
Code:
su
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
insert into global values(null, 'preferred_network_mode', 0);
.exit
In java :
Example to enable 2G only (just replace the 1 with a 0 in the insert into to enable 2G & 3G)
Code:
try {
Process process = null;
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(
process.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes("sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" + "\n");
os.writeBytes("insert into global values(null, 'preferred_network_mode', 1);" + "\n");
os.writeBytes(".exit" + "\n");
os.writeBytes("exit\n");
os.flush();
process.waitFor();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
It might require a reboot to be active though, not sure
If it doesn't work on your rom (tested on cm10.1), it might be a different row name, try investigating your settings.db like this :
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
.tables [COLOR="Green"]// returns all the tables[/COLOR]
select * from [I]tablename[/I]; [COLOR="green"]// in cm10.1 it's in [I]global[/I] but otherwise look in [I]secure[/I] and/or [I]system[/I]
// this command returns all the rows from the selected table, the names are usually explicit, so you should find the setting you're looking for[/COLOR]
Then, when you found it :
Code:
insert into [I]tablename[/I] values(null, [I]'row name'[/I], value);
Thanks, this is very helpful!
I think you are right, one will need to tell the system to update the settings or send a broadcast that this setting has changed (like for airplane mode).
I will look at the CM sources to find out what i can do.

If you manage to find a way to make the settings read the db without a reboot, please share your findings, would be very useful.

Buddy... you can toggle network mode with intent, no root needed, nor permissions!!
Here´s entire sample:
Code:
package com.serajr.togglenetworkmode;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Settings.Secure;
import android.provider.Settings.SettingNotFoundException;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button bnt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
bnt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// toggle
toggleNetworkMode();
}
});
}
private void toggleNetworkMode() {
int mode = getCurrentNetworkMode() + 1;
if (mode > 2) {
mode = 0;
}
// 0 = 3G_ONLY
// 1 = 3GSM_ONLY
// 2 = 3G_PREFERRED
// change mode
Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.phone.CHANGE_NETWORK_MODE");
intent.putExtra("com.android.phone.NEW_NETWORK_MODE", mode);
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
private int getCurrentNetworkMode() {
try {
int current = Secure.getInt(getContentResolver(), "preferred_network_mode");
return current;
} catch (SettingNotFoundException ex) {
return 0;
}
}
}
Try it and tell me later!!!
Thanks, but this will only work if your phone.apk has an exported receiver for this intent.
This is only the case if you or your rom dev modded it to be so.
Some custom ROMs also have this kind of "mod/bug" in the power widget, allowing you to toggle gps.
I tried it with slim bean 4.2 build 3 on i9000 and as expected it didn't work (and so will most likely in CM10.1 too).
Just too good to be true!

Thanks, I already do.
Really helpful library!
And yes, I will do it by sql injection to settings.db
I only need to figure out what broadcasts have to be sent / methods called and if this is possible.
Argh I am kinda lost in CM sources.
Can anyone point me to the place where this is handled?
I managed to toggle flight mode by using this in a SU shell:
Code:
if(settingenabled)
{
executeCommand("settings put global airplane_mode_on 1");
executeCommand("am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state true");
}
else
{
executeCommand("settings put global airplane_mode_on 0");
executeCommand("am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state false");
}
Interstingly enough it didn't work if i manually injected the value and then sent the broadcast.
I have no idea why.
So atm I'm trying to do the same thing for preferred_network_mode. I can write the value to settings.db, but I just don't know what i have to do to make the system apply the setting yet.
EDIT: shell binary "settings" only works in android 4.2 (and probably upwards)
So i finally found it in CM Sources.
Seems like we need to get the currently running Instance of the Phone class to notify it about the change.
Also seems like we are back to reflection, as this is an internal system class.
I also killed com.android.phone process after updating the setting, but that didn't change anything.
EDIT:
1st step towards reflection:
I figured out that i need a jar file from the cm build to use system classes via reflection.
Does anyone have more information about this?

Just a far fetched guess, but maybe try to add /system/framework/framework.jar from your rom to your app's build path
Is a reboot that unacceptable in your case ?
Maybe it's just the challenge, but i wanna change it like every other setting
A reboot is very far from what i call comfortable

Yeah, I get what you mean^^^
Here's a good (but old, 2009^^) official Android tutorial from the Android devs on reflection if it can help you : http://android-developers.blogspot.fr/2009/04/backward-compatibility-for-android.html
So i got some news
1. This setting is heavily protected by android system and can only be modified by the phone process itself
2. Some roms have a modified phone apk listening to a broadcast, enabling 3rd party apps to toggle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731187
3. His Majesty Chainfire started an app project which could amongst other features also toggle 2g/3g, but he gave up development. Regarding 2g/3g he implemented several methods, one of them being RIL injection, which he described as a really hard hack and highly experimental.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807989
Seems this task is not that easy
But i found out that tasker can toggle 2g/3g on my phone (running slim bean 4.2.2), this is when i found out about the modified phone.apk from 2). So I'mcomfortable that it's working on my phone and i can at least develop an app for myself

[GUIDE] Android Client-Server Communication (PHP-MYSQL REST API)

Hey XDA, this is my first guide and first proper contribution to the community!
I’m writing this because I've seen many people ask a variation of the question: “How can my app get information from a database?”
This guide is intended for those who have created their first app – it is assumed you have a working development environment and are reasonable comfortable with the Android SDK and Java. I'm also assuming little to no knowledge of PHP and MYSQL
This guide walks you through:
Setting up a database and a PHP script
Testing the server
Accessing it from Android.
To make it relevant, we're going to use data that we might see in an actual app: First & Last Name, Age and Points.

Computer*
Apache/PHP/MySQL Server – I use WAMP (for Windows) (PHP v 5.4)
Postman Rest Client for Google Chrome
(*Both must be connected to the same network!)
This guide will help you setup a local server. If you want to host your script and database online, you will have to purchase paid hosting.
Let's get started!
First off, what is a RESTful service?
According to Wikipedia: A RESTful web API (also called a RESTful web service) is a web API implemented using HTTP and REST principles.
How it works:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A breakdown of the steps:
The client makes a request using a HTTP POST to a server
The PHP script queries the MYSQL server
The PHP script gets the SQL data
The PHP script puts the data into an array and assigns keys for the values. The script then outputs the data as a JSON array. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a standard for data exchange, and formats the data in a way both humans and computers can easily read.
The app parses the JSON and displays the data.
Code!
Part 1: The Server
We’re going to start by setting up the server!
Install WAMP server. Leave the settings at the default values.
Start WAMP server and let it come online.
Try and open http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ - if you installed it correctly, you should be greeted by the phpMyAdmin welcome screen. We're going to be using phpMyAdmin to create our database.
Creating the Database:
Create a database called ‘mytestdatabase’. Now click the SQL tab, paste in the following SQL Code and hit run. This will create a test table called ‘users’ and fill it with data.
The table contains 5 columns: id, FirstName, LastName, Age, Points. It has 6 rows of sample data.
SQL Code:
Code:
-- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
-- version 3.5.1
-- http://www.phpmyadmin.net
--
-- Host: localhost
-- Generation Time: Jun 15, 2013 at 10:07 PM
-- Server version: 5.5.24-log
-- PHP Version: 5.3.13
SET SQL_MODE="NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO";
SET time_zone = "+00:00";
/*!40101 SET [user=714032]@old_[/user][email protected]@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET [user=714032]@old_[/user][email protected]@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET [user=714032]@old_[/user][email protected]@COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */;
--
-- Database: `MyTestDatabase`
--
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table `users`
--
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`FirstName` text NOT NULL,
`LastName` text NOT NULL,
`Age` int(11) NOT NULL,
`Points` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=7 ;
--
-- Dumping data for table `users`
--
INSERT INTO `users` (`id`, `FirstName`, `LastName`, `Age`, `Points`) VALUES
(1, 'John', 'Doe', 25, 61),
(2, 'Glen', 'Willis', 55, 3145),
(3, 'Helen', 'Cook', 35, 1232),
(4, 'Karen', 'Johnson', 20, 6456),
(5, 'Bill', 'Cooper', 60, 3856),
(6, 'Mary', 'Gomez', 30, 5422);
/*!40101 SET CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT [user=714032]@old_[/user]CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS [user=714032]@old_[/user]CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET COLLATION_CONNECTION [user=714032]@old_[/user]COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
Your database should now look like this:
We’re now ready to move on to the PHP!
Open up your WWW directory (C:\wamp\www) and create a new folder called ‘clientservertest’. In this folder, create a file called ‘login.php’.
Paste the following code into the file. (The PHP code is commented so you can follow what is going on)
PHP:
<?php
#Ensure that the client has provided a value for "FirstNameToSearch"
if (isset($_POST["FirstNameToSearch"]) && $_POST["FirstNameToSearch"] != ""){
#Setup variables
$firstname = $_POST["FirstNameToSearch"];
#Connect to Database
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","", "mytestdatabase");
#Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo 'Database connection error: ' . mysqli_connect_error();
exit();
}
#Escape special characters to avoid SQL injection attacks
$firstname = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $firstname);
#Query the database to get the user details.
$userdetails = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE FirstName = '$firstname'");
#If no data was returned, check for any SQL errors
if (!$userdetails) {
echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysqli_error($con);
exit;
}
#Get the first row of the results
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($userdetails);
#Build the result array (Assign keys to the values)
$result_data = array(
'FirstName' => $row[1],
'LastName' => $row[2],
'Age' => $row[3],
'Points' => $row[4],
);
#Output the JSON data
echo json_encode($result_data);
}else{
echo "Could not complete query. Missing parameter";
}
?>
Testing the Script:
Try accessing http://localhost/clientservertest/login.php from your browser. Do you get this message:
"Could not complete query. Missing parameter"
Then it’s working! The script is looking for a POST variable called “FirstNameToSearch” – we didn't provide any, so it did't work!
To finish testing the script, open the Postman-REST client.
Set it up like so:
Request URL: http://localhost/clientservertest/login.php
Type: POST
Key: FirstNameToSearch
Value: John
Hit send, and you should see this:
Code:
{"FirstName":"John","LastName":"Doe","Age":"25","Points":"61"}
Congrats – your server just returned a result! Try some of the other names in the database (Glen, Helen, Karen, Bill, Mary) and see how their data is returned.
Note: Before we move on to the Android section, we’re going to have to put our WAMP server online. Click the WAMP icon in the taskbar and select 'Put Online'.
Find your computers local network IP address and insert it into the URL like so: http://192.168.1.112/clientservertest/login.php
You should be able to access the script. If this doesn't work, try turning off your firewall - it could be blocking the server.
Part 2: Android
We’re now going to use our Android device to access the web server instead of the Postman client.
I'm not going to go into detail with the boilerplate UI code - I've attached the source code to this post so you can download the project files and browse through them.
Note: Android 3.x+ cannot perform Network operations on the main thread. To solve this, we have to multithread our program. To keep this as simple as possible, we’re going to use an AsyncTask. Again, the code for this can be found in the project download.
Inside of the AsyncTask, we have the most important code - where we create and execute a HTTP POST in Java.
Creating and Executing a HTTP POST in Java:
We have to first setup the name-value pairs for our POST variables. In this case, we use "FirstNameToSearch" as our Key.
Code:
ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("FirstNameToSearch", strNameToSearch));
The following code sets up connection timeouts (15 seconds) and creates a HttpClient and HttpPost pointing to our url (http://192.168.1.112/clientservertest/login.php)
Code:
//Create the HTTP request
HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
//Setup timeouts
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, 15000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, 15000);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.1.112/clientservertest/login.php");
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
The following code executes the POST, gets the result and converts it to a string:
Code:
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
String result = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
Finally, the following code creates a JSON object from the result string and extracts our data:
Code:
// Create a JSON object from the request response
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result);
//Retrieve the data from the JSON object
strFirstName = jsonObject.getString("FirstName");
strLastName = jsonObject.getString("LastName");
intAge = jsonObject.getInt("Age");
intPoints = jsonObject.getInt("Points");
That's it. It's so simple!
Where do we take it from here?
This combination of PHP/MYSQL is quite powerful. I'd recommend that you learn more about these technologies and build upon the demo in this guide. PHP Tutorials & MySQL Tutorials
Ideas for practice apps:
Online notes application - Sync your notes to the cloud
Build an Activation Server - Users can activate an app with a key

July 7, 2013
Updated the Android project and added Internet permissions (ClientServerRESTDemo v2.zip)
Thanks for this amazing guide but I have a issue.I have my own table and columns.So I changed your php code according to that and when I do a post query in rest,I get all null.But if I do the same in phpmyadmin,I have results.
This is what I get in postman:
Code:
{"pid":null,"name":null,"UID":null,"mobile":null,"description":null,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}
attached the output of phpmyadmin.
And my phpcode:
Code:
<?php
#Setup variables
$firstname = $_POST["FirstNameToSearch"];
#Avoid SQL injection attacks
$firstname = mysql_real_escape_string($firstname);
#Connect to Database
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect');
}
#Select the test database
mysql_select_db("mydb", $con);
#Get the user details from the database
$userdetails = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE name = '$firstname'");
#Catch any errors
if (!$userdetails) {
echo 'It seems the server is down.Please try later';
exit;
}
#Get the first row of the results
$row = mysql_fetch_row($userdetails);
#Build the result array (Assign keys to the values)
$result_data = array(
'pid' => $row[1],
'name' => $row[2],
'UID' => $row[3],
'mobile' => $row[4],
'description' => $row[5],
'created_at' => $row[6],
'updated_at' => $row[7],
);
#Output the JSON data
echo json_encode($result_data);
?>
Thanks for help.
Edit: just found that your app is missing internet permission in manifest
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
:thumbup:
Thanks so much for this. I will try it out soon.

I was able to reproduce the null result - it means that the result was not available in the database. You'll want to double check the value you are passing to the script in Postman. (When I used 'FirstNameToSearch' and 'test' - I got a correct result. However, when I used 'testa', I got a null result.)
You can try adding this into the PHP script to catch this problem:
Code:
#Get the first row of the results
$row = mysql_fetch_row($userdetails);
[B]#Check to see if a result was returned.
if(!$row){
echo 'User does not exist';
exit;
}[/B]
I also noticed a few things in your PHP script:
In your screenshot, your table name appears to be 'Myapp', however in your PHP script, it looks like you are using 'mytable'
When you build the result array at the end, you are trying to access a column that doesn't exist:
This code tries to access an 8th column/index:
Code:
'pid' => $row[1],
'name' => $row[2],
'UID' => $row[3],
'mobile' => $row[4],
'description' => $row[5],
'created_at' => $row[6],
'updated_at' => $row[7],
You only have seven columns, so it should be:
Code:
'pid' => $row[0],
'name' => $row[1],
'UID' => $row[2],
'mobile' => $row[3],
'description' => $row[4],
'created_at' => $row[5],
'updated_at' => $row[6],

That is not a error in table name because I just wanted to hide it out here but actually it got revealed in the screenshot .No issues will try your php code and correct my json array too.thanks

For some reason,the problem was caused by the mysql_real_escape_string.I commented that line and it is working now.

Now that's interesting.. I've never experienced a problem with that before.
I took a look at the PHP docs and found that mysql_real_escape_string() is depreciated - that could be contributing to the problem. I'll investigate this further and adjust the guide as necessary.
Thanks for sharing your solution!.

Maybe you are using ancient php module .BTW Can I also put data into tables using your php and slightly modifying "mysql_query" and using post?Or should I use put along with mysql_query?If later is the solution,could give me the snippet of how a put variable looks?because I dono php and I was waiting for someone to write this guide because before I was connecting to db with JDBS which isnt safe.Thanks and sorry for the trouble.
Edit: I got it to work like I said.But only issue is the created at and updated at time stamp which is not the part of php nor the app.I will correct it from mysql.Thanks once again.Will be happy to trouble you soon lol...No dont take it serious BTW

Do post() in async because it has to do http request which needs to be done in another thread.

Exactly what I experienced first time.Try after commenting the line which prevents mysql injection and see if it works.If you run latest mysql,the chances are probably that its the issue

Already tried that... No go... Had to write the whole thing using w3schools example code as base... Just resolved a couple minutes ago and completed the project (it can be viewed @ Github:CardManager (App) and cardmanager_json (Web Service, only principal.php is the one handling the whole thing))...
Maybe a good add to the tutorial would be to have a config.php file with the user, passwd, database and table data calling it through require_once()... The DBConexion and DBGestion files (in my github) are supposed to do that, but didn't work either (hence doing the principal.php code all over again)...

Interesting.. I'll take a look at at your script, revisit the W3 tutorials, and then re-write mine. It's really rudimentary and tends to fail easily. I wanted to write about the config.php, however, I also wanted to keep this guide as simple as possible for newer users. Maybe I'll add in an advanced section.
I'll update the guide in a few days, as I'm right in the middle of exams :/
Thanks for the feedback!

[HELP] Native Toast Launcher

I can reach the Main page by issuing :

However I would like to run the Dialer commands to see if I can mod anything else on the phone. Could some with good brain explain how this will be possible.
I have tried install other platform Diag tools but was only able to install the two above using fiddler ( thanks ngame for your tutorial )
Who did you do that ? I Try it many times before to install these aps on RM-821 Nokia Lumia 920 but didn't work !
how did you do that ? Could you please P.M Me ?

It wasnt hard to install those apps. Just followed the fiddler tutorial posted.
Then I connected the phone and installed SysPushApp onto the device and did an update for the SysPushApp to get the non_OEM files of Samsung and HTC . I couldnt install Samsung Diagnosis as it wasn't letting nor was I able to install HTC Hub ( I dont know why, may be they check some .dll specific to them in the phone before install ) .
Change the oSession in fiddler config file to the specific OEM you want to install the app. Example for HTC[ ->
oSession (NOKIA)
(NOKIA), (HTC) /B]
Mt device is Dev-Unlock.

Samsung diagnosis already removed from wp store so you can't install it easy
and diagnosis you can see in store may different from one in Samsung phones! If you check file sizes you will get what i say
Most of HTC apps only can install ID_Resolution_HD720p and WVGA devices i don't know how is it possible to deploy them on 1080 devices
maybe MS accept this resolution for all apps because the old apps have to add 1080 support?

I don't have this xaps but you have to use .Net Reflector 8 or any .net Decompiler then u can see all hidden xamls after _default you have to enter a #/ then dll name without it's dll them a ; and then folder and xaml address
example :
app://GUID/_default#/dllname;Pages/ExamplePage.xaml

OMG!!!!!!!! so many xamls !
If you can get a Screen Shot of each xaml is more useful I think
None of them works. We need to add Dialercodes in the end.

@nGage were you able to install those apps on your phone ?
@nGage there is some good news i was able to run the strings which you posted. It was all about changing 'Component' -> 'component' and some other tweaks. But the .dll library refers to something else and hence the data is not fetchable. I will post the screenshots tomorrow. @W_O_L_F can this file 'HTC Diagnostics_Sprint be hacked in any way as I was able to install this on Nokia 1520 via Windows App Store -> SysPush ( via Fiddler i.e chainging the OEMID=HTC )

Not for Nokia.
Be very careful with the HTC Sprint tool, since it has the ability to change NV values, even if it is commented out. (don't know why.) but it sure does.

thanks for the advice. But the app is pointless on Nokia phones as i have tried it and it doesn't work ... It can go to the menu's bit cannot get the values either it needs Interop or the dll linked is not for the device.
