Ok, be gentle with me I'm not a developer but a network engineer wanting to use Connectbot on my HTC Desire to remote admen some of our servers. I'm concerned about other apps on the device capturing root passwords - is this possible, can I look at the apps installed to determine whether or not they can do this, is this the right place for this question?

There seems to be a problem with an uncaught exception and reflection, although....why does it work on API level 10?
How does it work and what do you use it for? Don't know much about servers but never hurts to learn. I know I will probably end up loving the idea.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst, I'm new to Java and Android Development so I hope you're patient with me :)
My aim in my first app is to establish an ssh-connection to my linux machine running openssh and sending commands to it on the one hand and receiving stdout on the other hand.
Since there is an app for doing all the ssh that absolutely benefit to my needs, (connectbot) I thought it would be the best not reinventing the wheel and using connectbot for sending commands.
As I read there is a general mechanism in android to do so called intents. And I found that connectbot seems to offer such intents, but I don't feel able to use them at the moment and I'm not quite sure if it it works that way in general:
http://www.openintents.org/en/node/102
As I said I'm new to Java and android and only did a few hello world examples using these great xtensivearts video tutorials:
So its a bit hard for me to get started the right way. What do I want to do exactly?
Simply onpressbutton in my app -> sending a certain command in the background to the ssh-connected machine via connectbot or anything that can provide that.
In further development I would like to get data from the ssh-connected machine (stdout would be enough due to I could handle the output server-sided)
All this has to take place in the activity of my app. Even username and password should be configured via the settings of my app.
It simply should use the basic features of ssh via connectbot.
I would be really happy if you could help me getting started right with this issue. I know it sounds a bit hard for the first app but I really need ssh in my app cause it would greatly facilitate the server sided development.
Just recently got my HTC Magic, i love it, such a cracking OS & Phone combination, lot of my fellow colleagues wish they had not followed the crowd having seen my handset
Right back on topic, i was at the pub with a group of work mates, and we got onto SSH for the Magic (as you do) so i installed ConnectBot.
Great first impressions, easily managed to connect to a box (although it does seam to time out for password entry rather fast?) I could gain access and holding the track ball for Cntrl is a nice option. Which actually makes it useable as i have to use screens all the time in SSH.
My problem is the keyboard, the App looks like it was designed for the G1, after i had done a few commands i minimized the keyboard so i could see more, but then could not get it back.
Is there a way to bring up the software keyboard, while in ConnectBot?
Okay, folks...my GPS is pooched. I found the thread about resetting it...but I need my MSL....and i have *NO* clue what to do with connectbot. All the instructions just say "Use it to get your MSL"....*NOT* a lot of help, there.......
Where am i supposed to connect-to...and what do I do *after* that?
I assume I need to use the ##4772579#, since I can't type any text into the phone dialer...I get the MSL prompt from there....but I obviously can't get any further.
My speaker buzzes all the time on my phone (not the speaker phone - it works fine). It's not a network buzz, it's a vibration buzz of the metal or speaker. The center camera is also off-center a little bit, which makes me think something up there is off-center, misglued or loose.
We have two other evos and neither of them buzz on the same call. I called the Sprint Nav Voice Address thing from all 3 phones since that would be the exact same voice and words every time. Only mine buzzes. The other two don't have the camera problem either.
added a quick demo video of our upcoming Android Infrared (IR) Remote.Initially it will support a full IR dbase of 300,000+ IR codes, IR learner for any code not in the dbase, Pre-Built GUI so it is simple to setup. Will add rs232, relays, and other tcp options also after initial release.

On previous non android phones, it had the task list showing on the home screen.

I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that will do something similar All I want something that has a widget so I can see upcoming events or tasks and it must also be able to alert me audibly - the built in calendar on my Captivate is terrible. A calendar type app would be fine as well. I saw this in the market Pure Calendar Widget - anyone out there that can recommend this app? I would appreciate any info on an app I should try.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had a question regarding this concept. Suppose i have an application that defines a task. This task has some activities that belong to another Android application. The Dev guide says, that to maintain a uniform user experience, Android will maintain such 'distributed' activities as part of the same 'task' even if they belong to different applications.
I refer to it from here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html
Some lines later, the Dev guide says and i quote: * * *"**Suppose, for instance, that the current task has four activities in its stack — three under the current activity. The user presses the HOME key, goes to the application launcher, and selects a new application (actually, a new task). The current task goes into the background and the root activity for the new task is displayed. The current task goes into the background and the root activity for the new task is displayed. Then, after a short period, the user goes back to the home screen and again selects the previous application (the previous task). That task, with all four activities in the stack, comes forward. When the user presses the BACK key, the screen does not display the activity the user just left (the root activity of the previous task). Rather, the activity on the top of the stack is removed and the previous activity in the same task is displayed."*
I think "three under the current activity" should be "four under the same task".
I think this paragraph i quote above has nothing to do with activities distributed across applications..and belonging to the same task. This para is maybe talking about two applications, that share a common application launcher and each application has defined its own tasks (stack of activities).
The user is simply toggling from one application to another, thus demonstrating that all activities (of a task) move together. However, the "three under the current activity" phrase is confusing me.
I am trying to have the browser part of my task. The reason being is that I am awaiting a callback from the browser before continuing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNew to Motorola droid. I was wondering if there is a shortcut to show you what apps/tasks you have running, and allows you to easily switch between them? Currently, I just hit the home button to get out of one app/task and then switch to the screen with the app I want, and click on the app/task. I imagine there is an easier way via a key or shortcut that will pop up my open apps and allow me to choose which one to go to. I figure with all the talk of the droid being a multitasker, I figure there would be an easy way to switch between tasks.

WARNING: Back up your Astrid 2 before doing the Astrid 3 upgrade!I just updated to Astrid 3.0 ("Update Available"). Silly me, I didn't read the notes other than to see that Astrid 3 was "all new". My tasks vaporized! The I tried to "restore" and it said I had to buy an add-on pack to do that. No indication of whether the restore in V3 is compatible with saved tasklists from V2. The experience left me cold. I uninstalled Astrid 3 and reverted to V2 via the link http://bit.ly/oldastrid. Then I restored from the saved list on my SD card from the scheduled backup that Astrid did last night. I still lost some tasks I entered today.

View 12 Replies View RelatedHas anyone any idea on how to solve the generic problems related to starting a task in background from an activity and when the task is finished posting the result to the activity that created ? (the activity might get destroyed in the meantime due to a orientation change ,or receiving a call , or might be in the process of destroying and recreation)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't know how to elegantly solve the following task:
I have several blocks of code (operation) to execute. Each block can return true of false to indicate that further execution is possible. Inside of each block I have to use asyncronous methods calls (Because Android is completeley asynchronous).
Example of processing operations (not working now as expected):
CODE:.......
The problem is that inside of the operation I need, for example, display AlertDialog and wait for the input. But after I call dialog.show() my method execute finishes and it returns incorrect result.
Example of the button listener, registerd with AlertDialog is below:
CODE:..........
How should I modify processing of operations to support asynchronous model of Android?
In the documentation, I read that it is not possible for executing 2 Async Tasks. If execute is called again, it should throw an exception.
The following is given under the heading of "Threading Rules", and i quote:
"The task can be executed only once (an exception will be thrown if a second execution is attempted.)"
I wish to understand the meaning of this statement.
Does this mean, that if i try and execute the same task twice (concurrently) when the first execution of the task was still going on...an exception will be thrown ? Will i need to wait for the completion of the first task, before i spawn a second task ?
A possible use case:
The user wishes to download a set of files. He clicks on the download button by providing the URL. When the first download is still going on, he wishes to download another file and provides another URL. Both these user actions are serviced by a DownloadTask, that extends the AysncTask.
If i wish to change this default behavior, is there a configuration option?
An activity can use AsyncTask or Handler framework for background work. Both will continue to work even after user has moved away from the activity that started them and the onDestroy for the activity has been called. In other words, an activity is fully capable of doing background work even after its GUI has been shutdown.In this scenario, use of Service for background work seems like redundancy. What does Service bring to the table that an activity can not do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application with a multi-instance activity. I would like each instance of the activity to appear in a new task and process. Any suggestions on how to do this? By manipulating the manifest I can cause all instances of the activity to appear in a specific task and
process, but I haven't found any way to cause each instance to appear in a different task and process.(The requirement to have different tasks is that we want each instance of the activity to appear separately in the task list; the requirement for different processes is that each instance of the activity is backed by a chunk of native code with global state. We can't change either of these.)
How do you create unit tests for an Android activity that starts async tasks in onCreate? I would like to test the result of these tasks.
