In iPhone there is Cocoa Asynchronous socket library. Is there a similar library in Java for Android? Can it be done using Java Asynchronous sockets(NIO library) or is there a way I can make use of NDK for Android and use native libraries for asynchronous sockets?

For my app, I need to record audio from MIC on an Android phone, and send it over TCP to the other android phone, where it needs to be played. I am using AudioRecord and AudioTrack class. This works great with a file - write audio to the file using DataOutputStream, and read from it using DataInputStream. However, if I obtain the same stream from a socket instead of a File, and try writing to it, I get an exception. I am at a loss to understand what could possibly be going wrong.
This is the code:.................
I've been trying to connect two Android devices (2.1) via TCP sockets.
The vital part of the code:
Server:
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(SERVERPORT);
Client:
Socket socket = new Socket(serverAddr, SERVERPORT);
The weird thing is I can make it work if the client is an emulator, but the same code fails if running both of them on real devices.
The failure in the client side is:
CODE:................
I tried with WIFI and mobile net too, they were in the same subnet both times, INTERNET permission is given, the server is addressed through its real 192.168.. IP. I am planning to change the socket implementation with setCustomSocketImplFactory(). The problem is crucial in the process of implementing MSRP protocol to Android.
I am trying to implement basic Datagram Sockets in Android. I am starting with one of the samples available on the web:
Code:
String messageStr="Hello Android!";
int server_port = 54372;
try {
[code].....
The program dies when it hits the s.send(p) command.
An application I'm working on stopped being usable after upgrading to 1.5, and the reason seems to be that, after joining a WiFi network and creating a TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket, there is no way to communicate using it from a remote entity. I can not even ping the phone using the normal ping command, which was possible using 1.0. This affects my program since it's using mDNS/DNS-SD and peer-to-peer TCP sockets for communication. Is there anyone else who can confirm this?I have tried running the program built with SDK 1.0 and SDK 1.5 while running on a real phone running Android 1.5 and the problem is still the same.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using a web service disguised as a ContentProvider and AsyncQueryHandler to isolate my activity from the delays of transport. My question is: during testing, how can I determine when my activity has retrieved the data from the web service? That would be after onQueryComplete() in the AsyncQueryHandler has come back with the "real" data. During manual testing, I just sit there and wait until the view updates. How can I do that using ActivityUnitTestCase and ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Android activity which in turn starts a thread. In the thread I open a persistent TCP socket connection. When the socket connects to the server dynamic data is downloaded. The thread sends messages using Handler-class to the activity when data has been received. Now if the user happens to switch from portrait to landscape mode the activity gets an onDestroy call. At this moment I close the socket and stop the thread. When Android has switched landscape mode it calls onCreate yet again and I have to do a socket re-connect. Also, all of the data the activity received needs to be downloaded once more because the server does not have the ability to know what has been sent before, i.e. there is no "resume" feature.
Thus the problem is that there is alot of data which is resent all the time when landscape mode is changed. What are my options here? Should I create a service which handles the socket traffic towards the server thus I always got all the data which the server has sent in the service. Or should I disable landscape mode all together perhaps? Or would my best bet be to rewrite my server which is a VERY BIG job
I have data that is to be refreshed from the Internet. Let's call it Model.
What I want to do: Basically it sounds like an MVC model, where the Model is also kept persistent in local (private) storage. The Model and its associated methods are application-wise. There are several Activity's that display and manipulate different aspects of it:
User
navigates across different Activity's
that display Model
from different perspectives. Currently I have a ListActivity for all elements, and an Activity for one element's details
Sometimes Model needs refreshing.
Surely this is done on a different thread. Refreshing can be triggered from several Activity's.
There are several (time consuming) common
tasks that can be triggered from different Activity's
My application loads and saves Model
to private storage when it starts
and stops
My problem: I'm not sure where to put Model and the related tasks in. Also, I don't know what mechanism to use to notify Activity's. Currently I come up with 2 approaches:
Use Service and send broadcasts. Saving to disk is performed in Service#onDestroyed(), so I want to minimize that by binding it to Activity's. At this point, I'm also not sure how to deliver the updated information: whether to provide a getter in Binder, or include that in the broadcast message.
Customize the Application object so that refreshing methods and getters are available globally. I then perform update from Activity's using AsyncTask. If there are other Activity's that are behind the current Activity, they will update in onResume() when the user navigates back.
Reasons I'm not using a class with static methods:
I need to save and store Model to disk. Some of the methods need a Context for displaying toasts, notifications, caching, etc.
Also, I don't put these functionalities in an Activity because there are several activities that manipulate the same piece of persistent data.
Below are pseudocode illustrating what I mean:
Using Service:
CODE:............
Make the functionality globally accessible in the custom Application object
CODE:...........
Weaknesses I can think of for the Service approach is complexity, since Binding is asynchronous. And it's very likely that I have to repeat some code because I have both ListActivity and Activity
For the Application approach, the documentation says not to rely on onTerminate() being called.
I've implemented a service that does an asynchronous sync between my application and google docs. I want to update the top level activity of my application when the sync is complete. However because of the service it's possible that the app could be be in a unknown state. Is there a way to make the top level activity, whatever that may be, recreate itself from an asynchtask in a service.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a communication layer in android. The layer will communicate with server asynchronously. Multiple activities should be able to call methods of the communication layer. The layer will get messages from the server (it is not important for the scope of this question how) and should be able to tell activities to do some work based on these messages.
How should I implement this? Should I do this using android Service?
The main questions that I need to answer are: How can activities access the layer? How can the layer access activities? How can i make the communication layer live for the lifetime of the application?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI developed a game for Android called Jumping Bird, it writes the score obtained by the player in the database on my web server, but it does so synchronized. While it tries to write data in the database on the web, the entire game is stopped , and worse, when the server is slow, the request takes more than 5 or 10 seconds, an ANR(application not respond) error occurs and the OS tries to close the app.
I wonder how I can make that request asynchronous.There is any library that does it?
I have a self signed server certificate (cert.pem) and need to enable it for SSL sockets in an Android application. Ideally I'd like to package the code as .jar file and not need an external certificate file (i.e. include it into the code). With this code I can accept all certificates, which is not what I want: SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS"); sc.init(null, new TrustManager [] { new MyTrustManager() }, new SecureRandom());
Do I need to add the certificate to a custom KeyManager or the custom TrustManager? One problem I've encountered is that Android does not accept JKS keystores (KeyStore.getDefaultType() returns "BKS"): "java.security.KeyStoreException: KeyStore JKS implementation not found"

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been playing around with the new LVL announced yesterday and wanted to write a policy which only stops the user when it is certain that he does not have a license. In other words, the policy will only "dontAllow" the user if the last meaningful response from the licensing service was NOT_LICENSED. Therefore, if the user is offline when they first use the app, then they will be allowed in. The idea behind this is that I don't want genuine paying users to ever (within reason) be inconvenienced by this licensing system. The downside is that all the user needs to do is clear the app data and go offline before restarting the app. The app will continue working until they go online (and restart the app). My thoughts are: 1. Most users won't know about that workaround 2. Those users that are happy to use that workaround, probably wouldn't pay for the app anyway.

We have discovered a potential bug in the implementation of AppWidgets. Here is a simple reproducer.
Attached is the code for an application containing a TestActivity and a TestWidget. TestActivity extends MapActivity and TestWidget is a simple widget provider which updates a TextView every 2 seconds. Now if the TestActivity is launched with no instance of TestWidget running, it works just fine. But if the TestActivity is launched after placing the TestWidget on the home, it results in ClassNotFoundException. Here is what we get:
CODE:.............
So it seems we have an inconsistency in the way the class loader works for the same apk.
WORKS - Launch the application by itself, without invoking the Widget. DOES NOT WORK - Create a Widget on the Home screen and then launch the application from the launcher.
The source code for this application (http://www.yousendit.com/ download/TzY3ZGVhZy96NE4zZUE9PQ) has been attached. Hope someone from the Android team can shed light on this behavior.
This error is seen on the 1.5r3 SDK. Not sure if this has been addressed in 1.6 and 2.0 SDKs..
