When using torrent-fu, does the computer (doing the downloading) have to be on? Or can I just use torrent-fu to find torrents when I'm at work, queue them up, and when I get home turn the computer on and it'll start the downloads?

I cannot find a program that will allow scheduling for torrents, SO is it possible for tasker or another app to shut off the torrent program and re open it in off peak?

Each item is just a string. I need to maintain a todo list -- high priority items are added to the beginning of the queue. and low priority items are append to the end.
I am queuing up a bunch of runnables into a thread via a Handler.post(). I would like the ability to send a note to that thread that it should pause. By pause I mean, finish the runnable or message you are currently working on, but don't go to the next message or runnable in your message queue until I tell you to continue.

I'm working on a board game and I'm sending status messages back to the user with this wrapper function I created for Toast:
CODE:...........
The problem is I've made the flow of game play so simple I can now play it so fast Toast messages queue up, even to the point where they continue to show on the desktop after I quit out of the game. t.cancel() doesn't seem to cancel out the previous message, anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Is it possible, with an IntentService, to send another intent to the IntentService from within the IntentService? For example, say my IntentService is processing an Intent which has it write a bunch of data to the database. During this time, several other Intents to write other data may [or may not] have been queued up in the IntentService. Suppose, after processing that Intent by writing the data to the application's database, I want to queue up another Intent to send that data via web service to "the cloud." Perhaps I want to queue this processing in another Intent because sending to the cloud is secondary. Is it possible? Would it cause any problems if the Intent being processed is the only Intent in the queue at the time the IntentService is trying to queue another Intent?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI read somewhere (and have observed) that starting threads is slow. I always assumed that AsyncTask created and reused a single thread because it required being started inside the UI thread.The following (anonymized) code is called from a ListAdapter's getView method to load images asynchronously. It works well until the user moves the list quickly, and then it becomes "janky".final File imageFile = new File(getCacheDir().getPath() + "/img/" + p.image);image.setVisibility(View.GONE);view.findViewById(R.id.imageLoading).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
(new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Bitmap>() {
@Override
protected Bitmap doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {Bitmap image;
if (!imageFile.exists() || imageFile.length() == 0) {
image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new URL(
"http://example.com/images/"
+ p.image).openStream());
image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85,
new FileOutputStream(imageFile));
image.recycle();
}image = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFile.getPath(),
bitmapOptions);
return image;
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
} catch (IOException ex) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap image) {
if (view.getTag() != p) // The view was recycled.
return;
view.findViewById(R.id.imageLoading).setVisibility(
View.GONE);
view.findViewById(R.id.image)
.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
((ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.image))
.setImageBitmap(image);
}}).execute();I'm thinking that a queue-based method would work better, but I'm wondering if there is one or if I should attempt to create my own implementation.
I'm writing unit tests for a ListActivity in Android that uses a handler to update a ListAdapter. While my activity works in the Android emulator, running the same code in a unit test doesn't update my adapter: calls to sendEmptyMessage do not call handleMessage in my activity's Handler. How do I get my ActivityUnitTestCase to sync with the MessageQueue thread and call my Handler?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI decided to start pipelining input to increase responsiveness in my games. Basically what I do is when the activity receives a Key or Motion event, it sends it to a feed method in the game, which encapsulates it with a time and whatever else I need and puts it in a queue then immediately returns so the UI loop is never held up waiting for long. The main loop later processes the queue, applying the events in it at the appropriate times.
This works great and makes the games snappy, although now I'm starting to miss touch events intermittently. I realized that the events could be recycled objects and that could make them not safe to queue. Is this the case or is it safe to queue them for deferred processing like I'm doing?
I was curious about the nature of the handleMessage() and sendMessage() behavior of the Handler class. I want to be able to send message to another thread in such a way that the destination thread can process the message queue when it wants to. It seems, however, that the message is processed by handleMessage() practically as soon as it's sent.
I'm trying to design a game loop thread that does something like this:
CODE:.....
However, I as soon as sendMessage() is called (from the parent/calling thread), the Handler.handleMessage() is processed (in the child/receiving thread), even if the child/receiving thread is blocking in a while loop.
I've seen this problem solved in other games by using a thread-safe list (ConcurrentLinkedQueue). The UI thread just posts events to this queue, and the game loop can remove the events as it seems fit. I just assumed the Handler class was designed for this purpose. It seems it's more intended for asynchronous callbacks to the parent thread.
I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to set this up. I don't know what I'm supposed to put in the "Hostname or IP" field and I have no clue what my port is. And this also has a place to put a username and password. Do I just put anything?

I've seen apps that can do one or the other but it seems like the ultimate would be to do both. Anything like that out there? A pipe dream still? Sounds like a hell of an idea for a dev out there.

I have done everything (which I think I did correctly (according to the setup page)) and it is still not working. I have a port on my router open and even tested it and that is ok.

View 13 Replies View RelatedAlright. So my phone is set up to torrent fu. I use transmission in case that is important. Anyways. I can manage my account and delete torrents and things like that. And I can search for torrents no problem. BUT when I want to add one, it will think for like a min and tell me that the torrent was added. The torrent is not added to my list nor does it even start to download, even though my phone says that it was added.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been searching for a solution to put together an Android based torrent server. I've been using uTorrent on my Nexus 4 and it's a great little machine for that, but of course 16GB is a bit small for storage. I was looking at solutions like the ODroid to have a super low power system that could run 24/7.
I know that running torrents off an external USB drive is a good way to burn the drive out with all the accessing for seeding, etc... would there be able software solutions that would download torrents, seed them and when that quota is met move the files over to an external drive? Or would there be any way of connecting a drive via eSATA or something that would make the drive less susceptible to burning out?
I suppose I could just run an android device with a large microSD card and then manually move the files over.
I bumped into a guy I know the other day and happened to notice he had a HTC desire. We had a brief chat about it and he showed me some of his apps. He had an app that can control torrent downloads on your PC. I forget what it was called. This would be a usefull app.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm not looking for a program that communicates with my computer or seedbox, I have Torrent-Fu already for that. I'm wondering if there are any decent torrent clients for Android so I can just download a torrent right over my 3G connection. Searching torrent in the Market only gets one client that costs $5 and apparently is missing key features. Are there maybe some good .apk packaged torrent clients out there not in the Market? I'd assume that Vuze (as mediocre as it is), being written in Java, could be ported fairly easily as well.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am trying to look for a torrent solution. I have transdroid right now, and it is able to communicate with my seedbox and I can manage torrents that are already loaded on there. My problem is adding new torrents from my private websites. I have noticed that torrent-fu will allow you to search some of the public websites for new torrents, but that doesn't work for me. Right now I have to download the .torrrent file with my default browser.
And it saves the file as "unknown.torrent" then I have to open it with transdroid. This question is worded weird, but basically what I would like, is a torrent app with built in private torrent site searching / downloading. Or the ability to have my dolphin browser, recognise the .torrent extension, and associate transdroid with that.
I searched the forums and was not able to find anything about it so I am asking here. I am looking for a bit torrent that does work on the EVO, I tried every torrent available in the market and none worked. Does anyone here have or knows of a torrent that works? all I want to do is to download torrents directly to my phone by way of either WiFi or 4G.
