I routinely use my g1's browser to connect to a website that is protected with basic authentication (so you get the popup for username and password). Ever since updating to cupcake, my phone seems incapable or unwilling to correctly use / remember my passwords. It's driving me crazy, and I'm ready to chuck the thing out the window, or at least revert to the previous version. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I'm trying to do basic authentication to view a protected url. I want to access the protected url which looks like this:
http://api.test.com/userinfo/vid?=1234. So I do the following with a WebView:
mWebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword("api.test.com", "", "me@test.com", "my password");
mWebView.loadUrl("http://api.test.com/userinfo/user?uid=53461");
but the authentication doesn't seem to work, I'm just getting an output error page. Am I using the WebView method correctly here?
Update:
Trying with curl: curl -u me@test.com:mypassword http://api.test.com/userinfo/user?uid=53461
and it pulls the page fine. I tried every combination of the host parameter, the owners of the api don't know what I mean by 'realm' though (and neither do I) - what info could I give them to help this along?

I am a complete novice to the field of Android applications. I want to build a basic Android application of an "website alert and post service".
Eg: Lets take FACEBOOK or TWITTER as the website.The application which I design should intimate me about the new posts or tweets of my friends. At the same time I must be able to post or tweet just by opening a text box in the application and writing in it. As soon as I write, the message should get posted or tweeted on the website.
I am not sure about the complexity of the above application but I feel this would reduce the trouble of opening a browser, typing the website name and then logging in by putting the username and password.

Are there any podcast players that allow authentication? I have the streamlink account for coast to coast am and they dont yet have an android app. I can download the MP# files of the shows every night but would much rather be able to just stream with podcast. I have a link to the RSS feed for said podcast but it requires a UN/PW. Can anyone suggest an app that will handle this? They also provide Real Player links and Windows media player links so if anyone knows how to make these work with the droid that would work as well.

First and foremost, are there many android developers here? Is this a good place for Android related discussions?I seem to be missing a rather large concept of Android development. The gist is I am struggling understanding how to tie an application together. I'm not sure how to explain it, so I thought I would do my best with an example from the Android ApiDemo... assuming you are familiar with it.
Inside the com.example.android.apis.view namespace of the ApiDemo, there is a class called Animation3.java.Animation3 inherits the activity class and there is some code inside to display animation.I can't find a reference to the class (Animation3) anywhere in the demo code (except for its definition obviously). The only mention I found is in the manifest xml file. So how the heck does this activity get started? Don't we need to create an instance of the class somewhere and fire off a method to start it? I don't understand how to generate the code that ultimately glues this class to the rest of the application.Additionally, what about other classes like views or viewgroups? How do I generate code outside the class that initiates/starts/uses/calls (insert proper term) the class.I would appreciate any code examples as well as any concept explanation or reference documents. So far I've read pages and pages on activities and views but I'm really struggling how to tie things together.

I am coding a basic android application that has to call a web service, using KSOAP2, I am sending a request with one parameter (city) and need to get the response of the web service (basically a short String) from this site:
http://www.deeptraining.com/webservices/weather.asmx?op=GetWeather
When execultin the application, I only get a message: "This application has stopped unexpectedly". When debugging, I am getting the following error:
Thread [<3> main] (Suspended (exception VerifyError) And: ViewRoot.handleMessage(Message) line: 1198 that says: Source not Found And shows a button allowing to: Edit Source Lookup path. What does this basically mean?
My source code that generates the is the following:
private static final String SoapAction = "http://www.deeptraining.com/ webservices/GetWeather"; private static final String MethodName = "GetWeather"; private static final String Namespace = "http://www.deeptraining.com/ webservices/"; private static final String URL = "http://www.deeptraining.com/ webservices/weather.asmx";
And the main part of it: SoapObject request = new SoapObject(Namespace, MethodName); request.addProperty("City", cityname); SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope (SoapEnvelope.VER11); envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request); HttpTransport androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransport(URL); try { Result.setText("... Processing ..."); //error here: androidHttpTransport.call(SoapAction, envelope); ...
I am using Eclipse with Android plugin and KSOAP2 library.

I'm connecting to my AppEngine application using the Apache HttpComponents library. In order to authenticate my users, I need to pass an authentication token along to the application's login address (http://myapp.appspot.com/%5Fah/login?auth=...) and grab a cookie from the header of the response. However, the login page responds with a redirect status code, and I don't know how to stop HttpClient from following the redirect, thus thwarting me from intercepting the cookie.
Fwiw, the actual method I use to send the request is below. How would I stop the client from following the redirect?
Update: As per the solution below, I did the following after creating a DefaultHttpClient client (and before passing it to the execute method):
Code...
More verbose than it seems it needs to be, but not as difficult as I thought.

I am using the standard gmail app that comes with the motorola droid. However password authentication is only required the first time the application is launched. This means anyone who picks up your phone can see your email with one touch. Is there a way to require password authentication each time the application is launched?

I want to implement a http remote control for an Android application: From a browser on a computer in the local area network the application running on the Android device should be controlled.
Are there any recommendation how to implement this? I heard about i-jetty but it is not uncomplex to integrate it into an existing app.

I am beating my head against a wall trying to figure out why I cannot get Authenticated on my server whilst using HttpUrlConnection. I need to post a file in a post method and it seems I cannot do so with the DefaultHttpClient and a regular HttpPost (unless I am completely missing something?). I can get DefaultHttpClient to authenticate just fine using setCredentials() but the same doesn't exist for HttpUrlConnection so I try to set through setRequestProperty: conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64EncodedUserNamePassword); to no avail.

I am new on SSL programming. The Android app I am developing needs to open an SSL socket to a secure server which requires the client authentication. When running on the Emulator and trying to talk to a Server running on the host PC, the following Android code snippet always gives me a SocketException at the line, SSLSocket c = (SSLSocket) f.createSocket(hostName, 8888) :
private void openSslClient(String hostName) { try { KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance (KeyStore.getDefaultType()); InputStream fis = this.getAssets().open("client.bks"); keyStore.load(fis, "clientjks".toCharArray());
KeyManagerFactory kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance ("X509");
kmf.init(keyStore, "clientkey".toCharArray());
TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance ("X509");..............

We already use Android API. But sometimes I want to know is it verified or not? by whom?(e.g. Android team in google) by which one? (e.g. Unit test or Basic Acceptance Test for API) Do android team have any test report? Because this is a platform for smartphone. For example, if there has any problem in Android API (e.g. Date and Time), it makes customer spend money and time more. But I can't find any report about verifying API test. If you have any information about it, please let me know :) Also if there has no information, how can I test some API to verify API.

I'm having great difficulty getting basic textures to work in an OpenGL ES app on my Droid (2.1-update1). I trying to render a simple textured quad - four vertices, two faces, with normals and texture coords. When rendered, the texture is garbled and full of static, similar to TV noise. The basic colors from the texture map are there, but obviously the texture isn't being read or applied correctly. My texture load sequence is simple : int[] textures = new int[1]; gl.glGenTextures(1, textures, 0); Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(cx.getResources(), R.drawable.img); gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]); GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bmp, 0);...

I am currently writing the backend for a service which has 3 clients: browser, android native and iphone native. I am having a little trouble with coming up with an authentication system since I don't know what can really be done on the clients.
I am using django + twisted for the backend.
Basically, I am going to be writing RestfulAPIs to open up for the clients on both phones to call.
Now the real question is, how should I come up with an authentication system?
I have thought about using sessionids, this works very well with the browser and I can use django's integrated app for that.
However, I don't know if it's possible for both the iphone and android to obtain a unique sessionid on the handset. Should I write an API call to distribute unique sessionids?
if that's the case, is it possible for me to still use django's authentication system since a lot of the stuff here are customized? ( I am not even using a rdbms - I am sticking with mongodb, so I was on the verge of dropping django's authentication app ftm).
I have looked at foursquare's API and their basic auth method requires you to pass in user:password in every http request header. That adds 1 additional authentication each call which can kind of seem excessive.

My website uses Facebook Connect for authentication on the desktop and mobile sites. When a user clicks the Facebook button, the browser opens a popup window where the user can login to Facebook. When the user logs in, the window closes and messages the main window to go on.This works great on iPhone. A new window opens and is brought to the foreground. After logging in, brings the original window to the foreground. Everything is happy.On Android, the user experience sucks. Trying to be clever, Android opens a popup window on top of the current window. However, the login popup is completely zoomed out and the input boxes are tiny. Predictably, many users just close the popup and give up.How can I use the Connect JS library to force a real window to open, or at least force Android to make the login box presentable?

I'm trying to figure out how to develop a network-based authentication for my apps. I need some way to authentication an ID from the phone with an ID from the purchase order. Google Checkout has an ID in the order listing at the end:
"Trackmaster - Trackmaster is a powerful racing lap timer that runs on your Google Android Phone. It's for the motorsports enthusiast. Record your speed and times, analyze and replay your data, and share with your friends. Works great for autocross, hillclimbs, road rally, and track days!

I checked and this isn't the IMEI.

I have a Web View. I'd like to show some page from my server, but I require some basic authentication. Is there a way I can specify basic auth credentials when calling Web View.load Data() somehow? I can do this on i phone with the equivalent web view class, thinking maybe same is possible with android?
