I create data file in android for my application in the app's data directory. The write is successful with no exceptions but file contents are not complete. It truncates at 90112 bytes. Any idea what is going on ? Is there a limit ?
Here is the snippet

I try to create 'foo/bar.txt' in Android's /data/data/pkg/files directory.
It seems to be a contradiction in docs:
To write to a file, call Context.openFileOutput() with the name and path.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#files
The name of the file to open; can not contain path separators.
[url]
And when I call
this.openFileOutput("foo/bar.txt", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File foo/bar.txt contains a path separator
So how do I create file in subfolder?
I have a project written for Android devices. It generates a large number of files, each day. These are all text files and images. The app uses a database to reference these files.
The app is supposed to clear up these files after a little use (perhaps after a few days), but this process may or may not be working. This is not the subject of this question.
Due to a historic accident, the organization of the files are somewhat naive: everything is in the same directory; a .hidden directory which contains a zero byte .nomedia file to prevent the MediaScanner indexing it.
Today, I am seeing an error reported:
CODE:................
Regarding the sdcard, I see it has plenty of storage left, but counting
$ cd /Volumes/NO_NAME/.hidden
$ ls | wc -w
9058
Deleting a number of files seems to have allowed the file creation for today to proceed.
Regrettably, I did not try touching a new file to try and reproduce the error on a commandline; I also deleted several hundred files rather than a handful.
However, my question is: Are there hard limits on filesize or number of files in a directory?
am I even on the right track here?
Nota Bene: The SD card is as-is - i.e. I haven't formatted it, so I would guess it would be a FAT-* format.
The FAT-32 format has hard limits of filesize of 2GB (well above the filesizes I am dealing with) and a limit of number of files in the root directory. I am definitely not writing files in the root directory.
I have a 4GB video file in MP4 format. I can view the file perfectly on my laptop using the defaul media player "Media Player Classic". I have transferred the file to my new EVO and I cannot watch the video...it does not even load. I get the following error message "Cannot Play Video" and "Sorry, this video cannot be played." I have tried the default video player, doubletwist and Meridian with no success. I then thought perhaps the single 4GB file is too large for the EVO and Android apps. I am about to break the file into smaller chunk, but I wanted to ask the forum first.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI only have 750 MB, and I'm going way over that. How can I get my phone to use wi-fi as much as possible? There's wi fi in alot of the places I work but not at home. Most of the usage seems to be software updates, and google play store updates, and a few other apps being updated. Can it not wait to do those updates until wi fi is available to save my data. I'm with Orange btw, and the local wi fi netwrok is with O2.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi am having a bit of problem. i bought a monthly 50MB package for surfing the net. now, because this is a low package which can easily be used i would like to know if there is a way to limit this usage to 50MB, or if there is an app that controls that. and now after my phone is connected to internet should i expect some data transfer while i'm not surfing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday (which was the last day of the month), I got a message in the browser saying that I had reached my data limit. It would not load anything. It would still access data over Facebook, Twidroid and Sportstrack, but not the browser. Today, all is fine. So, was that message just in error, or does it sound as if I actually hit my limit? I heard around here that they were not really going to be monitoring the usage unless you were on the business plan. I suppose I could find out if I could see my total usage numbers, if I was around the 5 GB mark.

The following code works great:
CODE:................
The only problem I have with this is that I don't need to re download these KML files every time. I have about 10-15 KML files that will rarely change. Also since it has to connect, download, and parse these each time there is a delay in opening the maps.
It would make a lot more since for me to save these as a local resource and have the URI reference it there. Is there a way to construct a URI using the geo: scheme and have it point towards a local resource?
It looks like file:///sdcard support was included in 2.1. The only reference I could find to it was at the end of this bug report thread. I am currently at work and don't have time to play with this yet but I would like to figure it out later. I feel like there are a lot of people on stackoverflow and elsewhere who would really appreciate a reasonable way to do this.
I went to private AT&T dealer to upgrade my phone, contract has been renewed for 2 years, and that guy changed my unlimited data plan (it was $15/mo too) to the 200MB one. He said my previous unlimited data plan was not for smartphones (actually I did not use AT&T branded phone before Captivate, I bought SonyEricsson X1 for my self), if I chose to upgrade the unknown AT&T phone to captivate, they have to change my data plan to the 200MB limit one. Is his explanation true? I want my unlimited data plan.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow often does the Data usage message update? I sent in a query for one last night and I got 31mb used, today I get a message telling me I am 65% over my limit an have used 160 MB. All I used the internet for was chat and some web-browsing (like 5 pictures and a few webpages), but nowhere near 120MB. During the time frame between when I checked I was on an airplane for 4 hours (so no 3G) and then went to bed and got the warning when I woke up. So how often does the data usage message update? Also, how immediately do you get the Data usage warning message?

I have a 16mb binary file and I want to read bytes without using any loop. like if i want to read 16 byte i can pass 16 to some method(if there is any) and it give me my desired result... right now i am using loop for reading bytes but my application is so huge i am afraid that it do not get slow.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a frame of 22 bytes. The frame is the input stream from an accelerometer via bluetooth. The acceleromter readings are a 16 bit number split over two bytes.
When i try to merge the bytes with buffer[1] + buffer[2], rather than adding the bytes, it just puts the results side by side. so 1+2 = 12.
How to combine these two bytes to obtain the original number. (btw the bytes are sent little endian)

I am using the AudioRecord class to analize raw pcm bytes as it comes in the mic.
So thats working nicely. Now i need convert the pcm bytes into decibel.
I have a formula that takes sound presure in Pa into db. db = 20 * log10(Pa/ref Pa)
So the question is the bytes i am getting from audiorecorder from the buffer what is it is it amplitude pascal sound pressure or what.
I tried to putting the value into te formula but it comes back with very hight db so i do not think its right
I have a function I am using to upload files. How can I get the number of bytes of the file that have been uploaded (transferred)? Can I setup a timer that does this? If so, what variable to I read to get the number of bytes uploaded?
Here is my code:
CODE:....................
An Android app I'm writing involves quite a lot of downloading of content (think podcatcher/RSS).
I would like to be able to give the user an indication of how many bytes they've downloaded, so they can make the decision whether they want to use Wifi or not.
To this end, I have found a way of counting the number of bytes read by the app, by wrapping an InputStream in a simple CountingInputStream.
However, this does not take into consideration basic things like packet headers and HTTP headers. More importantly, it does not take into consideration any compression that content may be encoded with.
So, how many bytes did my application download over the network? I'm not so interested in the number of bytes uploaded, but if know how, don't be shy.
I have gone down a fairly low level approach as I am feeding the input stream into an XML PullParser. I will also be needing to do a similar exercise with dumping bytes (images in this case) straight onto the SD Card.
I have a problem.
1 - From a webservice. NET 2008 (vb), I have a method that returns an array of bytes, the byte array is actually a string "Hola Mundo" ("Hello World" in English) compressed with the Class of System.IO.Compression GZipStream.
2 - The method returns the string "Hola Mundo" compressed, and this is what the webservice returns:
CODE:..............
3 - if I do a test from a windows application from Visual Basic. NET to run this method returns me this string and Unzip with another function I have, it brings me the "Hola Mundo" ....
4 - On Android (Eclipse) and I managed to make the request and bring me the previous string ... but do not know how to decompress and show me "Hola Mundo" ...
5 - I have tried several codes from the web, but none work.

I'm developing an android video uploading app and uploading large amounts of video is a problem, I get different type of exception sometimes (host not resolved, pipe broken), I do a multipart POST but I have a feeling if I upload chunk of bytes one at at time that'll increase upload speed as well as solve connection timeout and these type of problems.

I've tried recording video using MediaRecorder API but the file that gets saved each time is of 0 bytes.
I use the MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); ad then recorder.setVideoSource . . .recorder.prepare() to generate the preview and when the user clicks record, i say recorder.start() but the file recorded is of 0 bytes. And after some time, recorder.stop() -on user click that is.
I'm building an android app and I'm currently having trouble retrieving a bitmap from an URL.
Here is the code I'm using :
CODE:..........
Everything works fine when the picture's write but when some bytes are wrong, result gets null. I think it's basically expectable as it's written this in the doc of BitmapFactory.decodeStream :
If the input stream is null, or cannot be used to decode a bitmap, the function returns null. The stream's position will be where ever it was after the encoded data was read.
The problem is, my wrong picture is well interpreted by my web browser and I can do so on iPhone platform.
Is there a way to sort of ignore those wrong pixels? maybe with the option parameter?
I bought iball andi 5li android smart phone a few days back. The configuration of the phone is:
512mb ram
4gb internal
1.2ghz cortex a9 processor
android 4.1.2
Although my device runs almost every app out there (including temple run, subway surfers etc.) but occasionally im facing problems.
Problem occurs after 3-4 days of restarting the phone. When i restart and check the ram usage it says 350 mb (approx) as used and 150mb(approx) as free ram every app runs smoothly but as days pass by gradually the free ram starts decreasing down to 30 mb where all the apps (games and browsers) start crashing with a low memory message. then the conditions get worse after approx 2 hrs free ram is now 0.0 bytes and even the launcher,settings etc crash with a low memory message. The only solution out is to restart the phone.
[used androids before and is quite aware of closing or killing apps but none is working]
Already Tried:
# removing apps from recent list
# stopping apps from Setting>apps>running apps & cached apps as well
# restoring to factory defaults
# used ram freeing apps (no change on ram)
