Android :: Can Phone Pause WiFi Scan Requests?
Aug 19, 2010
I wrote an android application to request a scan for available WiFi signals around, using the WifiManager, then dump the results to a file. The program works fine, but this weird bug occurs. Initially I was requesting a scan every 30 seconds, and everything worked fine. I then tried to request a scan every two seconds, I get this strange bug. Everything will work fine for a few minutes, then the time between two scan requests jumps from 2 seconds to 50 seconds for no reason.
Then, for four more scans, it will scan at 2-second intervals, then skip to a 50-second interval, and it continues to do this consistently. With larger time intervals this bug does not appear. Has anyone experienced this bug before? Is there a way to prevent it? Or does Android automatically cancel scan requests if they are too frequent?

I'm trying to scan for wireless networks and found this helpful source on the net. Unfortunately it's not working and I have no idea why. My problem is that I can't wait 10 minutes for the result - I need them within a few seconds and thought about setting the boolean variable waiting on false as soon as I get a result, well it runs forever. Looks like nothing is received.
// -- Sample WiFi implementation - http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f722d5f90cfae69 IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
i.addAction(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
@Override public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i){
// Code to execute when SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION event occurs
mWifiManager = (WifiManager) c.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wireless = mWifiManager.getScanResults(); // Returns a <list> of scanResults
waiting = false;
} } ,i);
// -- End Wifi Sample mWifiManager.startScan();
while (waiting) { try { Thread.sleep(200);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace();
} Log.d("PROJECT1","Wifi WAITING");
}

I am programming for google android and I wonder if the scans for wireless 802.11 networks are done passively or actively? I mean: Does the device actually emit a beacon request signal on
WifiManager.startScan()
Or does it just listen for beacons sent periodically by the access points?

I am currently doing my Bachelor Project concerning Android Programming.
Therefore i need a possibility to SCAN/DISCOVER Hot-Spots or WLAN's where i can connect to.
In many topics i have read, that the EMULATOR does NOT support WiFi scan with WiFiManager. I also tried using ConnectivityManager or BroadcastReceiver. But it doesn't ever work.
So my question ist the following - is it CORRECT that the emulator does not support any kind of WLAN Scan/Discovery? I need as many comments on this as possible - because only if its REALLY true, that the emulator does not provide WIFI functioanlity, then i can ask for buying a Dev Phone.
And if so, WHY there is no WiFi support within the emulator...?

In Jan. I switched from Sprint to a different carrier and got a new phone with the new carrier which left me with my HTC Evo 4G and I've been trying to use the Wifi so I can use it at work or at home when I don't feel like using my laptop and whenever I try to turn my WiFi on it just turns on then off and tells me "Unable to scan for networks".
I've noticed that it says that my IP address is unknown and Bluetooth isn't working either. I did a factory reset on my phone and all that did was delete my Doctor Who background.
Sidenote: my husband was on my family plan and he had the same phone with the same service and his WiFi is working fine.

It happened to me last night on the Captivate. I tried battery pulls, deleting the WiFi nets, etc., but it still kept turning WiFi off within a minute of turning it on. I did a factory reset (I'm getting better at this process. Can restore my device back to its former glory within an hour).

I'm having the dreaded "Unable to Scan for Networks" in the WIFI. Can I fix without doing a reset? I'm on vodafone UK. All the info I have been reading points to me having to do a master reset. Or deleting a file if my phone is rooted. Can I root my phone to do this? or is this not possibly on a voda contact mobile. After I accidentally removed my WiFi from my phone. Then added it again. Getting my WiFi working. Info about Rooted phones (is it possible with mine?). A good backup software for PC, is kies any good what does it backup?

I got the samsung captivate for AT&T a couple of weeks ago and have run into a few problems with it:
1) Wifi worked great for a while, but now it says unable to scan for networks and turns the wifi off...this wouldn't be too bad if I had a big data plan but I do not.
2) Battery Life...fml
3) I cannot find ANYWHERE any supporting software to sync media files with my PC
4) The drivers will not install on my computer
5) Way too many apps are using data without me even opening them (navigation, yahoo mail etc...) I have AdvAppKiller but that gets old
It is wonderful having such a wonderful, fast device with 16 gb of memory, but these shortcomings are making me realize why I enjoyed a flip phone for so long.

I got myself a Samsung Galaxy S. And decided to sell my Milestone to a guy. So when he is testing out the phone the WiFi doesn't scan his office WiFi. It scan every WiFi around us except the office WiFi. I use my Milestone's WiFi all the time. And all the time it scan and detect all the WiFi. Infact 30 mins before the sale I was using the Milestone's WiFi at school to find a map to his place.
Weird thing is when I use my Galaxy S to scan WiFi, it scanned all the WiFi and his office's WiFi too. So does anyone know why my Milestone is able to scan everyone else WiFi except his office's WiFi? It couldn't be hidden because my Galaxy S was about to scan his WiFi. This is extremely bad luck, because I know my Milestone is in perfect working condition and now he would think I'm scamming him.

Is it possible to develop an application which can have a read access to all the files of the phone. We plan to develop an antivirus application. I know that APK applications have for example a limited access to the /data directory.

Is anyone aware of a wallet app that uses the phone's camera to scan cards for backup? i don't really relish the idea of manually entering all my card nos. and info when the camera scanner function works so well recognizing business cards.
you know, I'd like to slap my credit card on the table, open the app and scan the card. the app should recognize the cc logo (mc, visa, discover, etc), card no., exp. date and prompt me for the verification no. on the back.
the app should be able to recognize most of the card types that people typically keep in the wallets: drivers license, library card, health ins, auto ins., loyalty cards. for those that it doesn't recognize by scan, the user should be able to select from a list or enter a "custom" type.
i haven't found anything like this. does one exist?

We created a free app - VIN Barcode Scanner. I would like to know your opinion and your feedback. We are interested in a collaboration. We could offer integration to developers who has an app for search of information by VIN in Autocheck and other bases. Users would love that.
With application it is possible to scan VIN code quickly using your phone or tablet cam and then send a recieved code via sms or email. In case of integration, it is possible to search for information on the resources mentioned above. I think it is very convenient.
We are happy to offer you the following: SDK which will allow you to add VIN codes scanning into your app very easily. Many developers are using our SDK. Our SDK has a demo-mode so you can try it for free.URL....

Everything works fine but when a phone call comes while a song is playing the app does not pause the media player and you can hear the song during the phone call. Please tell me how to pause media player on a phone call and again resume it after call is ended.

Anyways, whenever i'm listening to music, and I press the play/pause button on my headset to control my music tracks, my phone turns on. This get's really annoying because every time my phone turns on, it stays on for a few seconds, and this really kills battery life. I've tried lurking around my phone's settings and even my launcher settings.
My phone is a rooted HTC Wildfire S running AOKP custom rom with Nova Launcher Prime. And if it makes any difference, I'm using the "Start" lock screen from the Play Store.

I have phone numbers stored that was transferred from my HTC phone that have a "p" in the dialing sequence to introduce a pause for e.g. a calling card. When this number is used in the X10 it will not recognize the "p" as a pause.
What is the correct character to use?

Is there a limit on the number of simultaneous http requests of the form:
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
I'm interested in any official limit as well as practical ones.
(In a previous life, you had to dig deep to discover that WinMo only allowed three WebRequests to be open at a time.)
Let's say I have a list of 20 files to download on a background thread.
Should I: Download them one at a time, blocking the thread (but not the UI thread) to wait for each one? Start 20 threads each downloading one of the files?
I expect the answer may be somewhere in between, where I create C threads and work on the queue of N files, where C is a number like 3 or 4.
I suspect some of you here have already done some experimentation and know the magic number. In addition, I suspect there may be more efficient ways of doing what I'm doing than creating a new DefaultHttpClient for each request.

Is it possible to view what requests are made to external sites/ servers by an app? Basically I'd kind of like to throw an application (I did not make) into a debugging type thing to see what requests (to where and what data) it makes. This is to kind of ensure a third party app does what it is saying, and isn't sending data elsewhere.

How to collect URLs of all http/https requests made by the phone as well as well as the return status code and user agent from the headers. This information should be coming for all browser requests and other applications too.Please let me know this information can be retrieved on App level or we have to go to system level for this.

Im using a web service, so I want to use an async thread for the HTTP authentication request and another thread later to make additional service requests while my main thread runs.Would like to see a good example of how to do this and how to show busy messages somehow in main app. How does the main app know when the thread finished? And what if my thread encounters exceptions, how do I deal with that?HTTP requests are sent later, use the same cookies setup up by the first auth request, so will the later requests pick up the same cookies and just work?

I'm testing out a web page on the Android 2.0 and 2.2 emulators, and the jQuery.ajax() requests that the app makes have slightly different behaviors regarding HTTP Authentication Headers. The server I'm making requests to requires basic authentication, and the ajax requests in 2.2 send the proper auth header. In 2.0, I am debugging with Fiddler, and it seems that the requests do not include the auth header, and the server rejects the request with a 401.2 error. I don't think it matters, but the server is running IIS 7. One interesting thing I noticed while debugging the web requests is that Android 2.2 makes two requests for each resource, whether or not it's an XHR. One does not contain the Auth header, and the second one does. In 2.0, it seems to make 2 requests for everything but XHR's:
Here is the 2.2 header for the first XHR:
GET http://192.168.1.111/sonar/mobileweb/sonar/views/week/init.ejs HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.111
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Referer: http://192.168.1.111/sonar/mobileweb/sonar/sonar.html
Accept-Language: en-US
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us; sdk Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
Accept: text/plain, */*
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Accept-Charset: utf-8, iso-8859-1, utf-16, *;q=0.7
The 2.2 header for the second XHR:
GET http://192.168.1.111/sonar/mobileweb/sonar/views/week/init.ejs HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.111
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Referer: http://192.168.1.111/sonar/mobileweb/sonar/sonar.html
Accept-Language: en-US
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us; sdk Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
Authorization: Basic cGFyaXZlZGFcZGF2aWQubW9ycmlzOjIzbkx2ZWxsbGw=
Accept: text/plain, */*
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Accept-Charset: utf-8, iso-8859-1, utf-16, *;q=0.7
And the 2.0 header:
GET http://192.168.1.111/app/views/week/init.ejs HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.111
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Referer: http://192.168.1.111/app/app.html
Accept-Language: en-US
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.0; en-us; sdk Build/ECLAIR) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17
Accept: text/plain, */*
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Accept-Charset: utf-8, iso-8859-1, utf-16, *;q=0.7
Has anyone experienced this behavior before? It is basically causing my app to not work at all in version 2.0. Version 2.1 seems to act the same as 2.0.

I'm trying to load https requests with a Webkit object but It shows only a blank page, with http requests I don't have problems, It shows the page correctly. I have look the source code of the browser, in http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Browser.git;a... but I don't understand how the browser process the https requests. I think that the class BrowserActivity process the http and https requests but I don't see how to do it. Somebody could explain how the browser process the https request? It uses a Webview object to show the response of the https requests?
