View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to send asynchronous calls to the server. During network connection this works fine. How ever if i disable my LAN from Network connections android will through a socket exception after the specified timeout for that particular call. Now the issue that i face is the time out happens in a synchronous manner. Though both the calls has been started in a thread the timeout is not happening at the same time. If i keep the timeout as 20sec i am getting a socket exception for the first call after 20 sec and after the next 20 sec i get the timeout for the next call. Why is this happening..? I am not opening two connections asynchronously in this case. I am attaching a sample code that can replicate the above scenario. Code...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm making an http request. I'm on a platform (android) where network operations often fail because the network connection might not be immediately available. Therefore I'd like to try the same connection N times before completely failing. Was thinking of something like this:
DefaultHttpClient mHttp = ...;
public HttpResponse runHttpRequest(HttpRequestBase httpRequest)
throws IOException
IOException last = null;
for (int attempt = 0; attempt < 3; attempt++) {
try {
HttpResponse response = mHttpClient.execute(httpRequest);
int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
if (statusCode == 200) {
return response }
} catch (IOException e) {
httpRequest.abort();
last = e;
throw last;
I'm mostly worried about the connection being in some state which is invalid on subsequent retries. In other words, do I need to completely recreate 'httpRequest', should I avoid calling httpRequest.abort() in the catch block, and only call it in the final failure?
I am using org.apache.http.*; API's to make HTTP Post Connections over Internet from the Android Application. I added the Internet Permissions in the Manifest file and it works fine. Now i want my application to make the same HTTP requests over WiFi network through which the handset is connected.
Do i need to make code changes to achieve this? Do i need to add some permissions? as i am unable to make requests...

Is there any better solution? I could not find any relevant methods in the API (I looked in package org.apache.http, but it seems it is completely unaware of what type of connection should be used).

So i create an application that only display the "Toast" once i request it to. using the LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, instead of gps. And I try it on my G1.. I found out that if the G1 is connected to my WiFi, i can get the coordinate of my position, without any problem.. once i turn off the WiFi of the phone. The onLocationChanged() is not triggered anymore, instead, onStatusChanged() is triggered.. And I get TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE error.. So what i want to ask is :Is internet connection required to retrieve the coordinate ONLY?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm facing an annoying problem here. My application is connected to a server that sends some data from time to time. It's some kind of eventing server. In order to receive data, I'm connecting to the server with an HttpURLConnection, retrieve the response InputStream and loop on it with the read method. The connection is always open. The distant server is cutting the connection every 5 minutes (for test purpose). When connection is closed, my application has to reconnect again. We detect a Connection Reset by Peer exception when the server closes the connection. The problem is that most of the time, I never receive the Connection Reset by Peer exception. So my application can't know that is has to reconnect and it's stucked on the read instruction. The InputStream.Read() method shouldn't always raise an exception if the connection is closed? What can I do to always detect Connection Reset by Peer exception?

CODE:......................
I've already created a database for users using SQLite. The database name is Users and the table is called User. The records inside the table are Username, Password, LastName, FirstName. I've inserted one user's info into the database. The problem is I do not know whether my UserDB.java is correct.
And I've also created login.java. Hardcoded Login page:
CODE:........
So I want to know how I should apply the database connection on the login.java. Should I insert database connection something like db.Open();? I studied ASP.Net a few months back and I kind of forget most of what I've learnt.
So how should I open the database connection on login.java and how to check with database whether the user enters the right username and password?
Just incase you need my xml, here's the code:

I need to learn how to do it so that I can apply for other pages for example Register.java page.
I'm trying to create a listview containing conversations in chat bubbles, and each chat bubbles are rows in the list view. So what I have is an avatar on the left, and a chat bubble on the right. Then in the chat bubble, I have a textview for name, a textview for content, and a textview for time. The problem is, I cannot adjust the height of the chat bubble such that the bottom edge is just below the textview for time. In the chatBubble, I have this line that does not work android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/timeLabel" because timeLabel is a textview created after chatBubble. If I place chatBubble tags right below timeLabel, the height of chatBubble will be just right because lf the layout_alignBottom, but chatBubble covers all the text created before it.
Is there a way I can create the chatBubble last, and bring the view to the background? Or is there a better way to do this?....................
