I'm writing a little dhcpcd hook (script) and was wondering how could I get some properties into it. Getprop doesn't work in dhcpcd's "environment". I can see some hooks are setting properties with setprop (that works) but getprop just doesn't return anything. What am I missing?

I am able to successfully get lat/long and pass it to the geocoder to get an Address. However, I don't always get an address back. Seems like it takes a couple of attempts? I'm not sure why.

SuperSU works fine and grants permission to Root Explorer which also works fine.
But 'getprop: permission denied' is shown in front of most of the headings in 'Phone information' tab in MTK Droid Tools.
And when I click 'Root' button in MTK Droid Tools the following message is shown 'ERROR: SU inaccessible'.
I have granted permission to ADB Shell in SuperSU.
If I manually open adb shell I get $ prompt and then I type su to get # prompt.
I think that maybe permissions of some files are not ok.
If I need to return my phone before the 30 days are up and they are out of stock, will they still honor the return policy and just call you when they have one available or will you have to stick with the phone that you have?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAccording to my research, which includes reputable sources (Mark Murphy et al), the most preferred way of polling a remote source and presenting said data to the user is by creating a service and using AsyncTask within that service to do the polling. I have done that.But, when I read the docs there seem to be several "Threading Rules" that conflict with this way of doing things: "The task instance must be created on the UI thread." and "execute(Params...) must be invoked on the UI thread." As stated, I have created the task instance on the Service thread (not the UI thread). Am I missing something? Also, when the AsyncTask finished, I sent out a Broadcast on onPostExecute, which is then picked up by the Activity, telling it to retrieve the final value again from the service (since I couldn't obviously update the UI from the service). I couldn't figure out any other way to return the result of the AsyncTask. Is this the correct practice?
View 8 Replies View RelatedAndroid documentation says that AsyncTask postExecute() is called on the UI thread. I was under the impression that postExecute() was called from the Thread where execute() was called : I have been using an AsyncTask in a background Service with its own thread, and postExecute() was called in the service thread, not the main thread. However, I recently had an issue with the postExecute() not being called at all, while an exception was thrown : " sending a message to a Handler on a dead thread". How is it exactly :
- shall AsyncTask be used ONLY from the main thread ?
- if not, in which thread postExecute() is supposed to be called : always the UI thread, or the execute() calling thread ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a simple task (simple in other platforms, not in Android :-( ): take a photo and return its pathname to the caller. I searched a lot the net and tried many variants to the code. I'm aware of the "thumbnail image" bug and am trying to bypass it. The following code works, but its somewhat dificult to get the photo: the guy has to go to the media picker, click menu button, select "camera capture", take the photo, click back, and finally select the photo from the list. The good thing: the photo returned is BIG.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PHOTO);
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) { case TAKE_PHOTO: if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
try { Uri uri = data.getData(); java.io.InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
java.io.FileOutputStream os = new java.io.FileOutputStream(targetPhotoName);
byte[] buf = new byte[4096]; int r; while ((r = is.read(buf)) > 0) os.write(buf,0,r);
is.close(); os.close(); Launcher4A.pictureTaken(0,null);
} catch (Exception e) { String stack = Log.getStackTraceString(e);
AndroidUtils.debug(stack); } break; }
I also saw a code that (in theory) would do exactly what I need:
sourcePhotoName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + java.io.File.separator + "tmpPhoto.jpg"; targetPhotoName = s;
Intent i = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new java.io.File(sourcePhotoName));
i.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri);
startActivityForResult(i, TAKE_PHOTO);
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{ switch (requestCode) { case TAKE_PHOTO: if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
try { java.io.InputStream is = new FileInputStream(sourcePhotoName);
java.io.FileOutputStream os = new java.io.FileOutputStream(targetPhotoName);
byte[] buf = new byte[4096]; int r; while ((r = is.read(buf)) > 0) os.write(buf,0,r);
is.close(); os.close(); } catch (Exception e) {
String stack = Log.getStackTraceString(e); AndroidUtils.debug(stack);
} break; } }
It works (almost) as expected: the camera application is shown, and after the photo is taken, the photo is returned to the application. However, it has two problems:
1. If I pass a folder inside my application's directory, when I press "done" button, the camera application does not return; it stays in the same screen until I press cancel. Seems that the camera application does not have permissions to write to my folder.
2. The image returned from this code is the Small Image (Thumbnail).
So, I now have a code that works and return a big image, but is somewhat burocratic to the guy to use (and also can lead to errors, if he selects the wrong picture), and a code that does what i want but returns a small picture. I'm using a HTC G2 with Android 1.6, and I have to use it because 1.6 is the requirement for my system. Ok, now the question: is there something I can do in code #2 to make it return the big picture?

I was expecting the getEdgeFlags() method of MotionEvent to tell me when a MotionEvent had reached the edge of something, but the value returned from getEdgeFlags() is *always* zero. Is this the expected behavior? The documentation says that the flags indicate when a touch has reached the edge of the display. I've tried this on a real device and in the emulator, and the location coordinates never quite reach the edge of the display, and getEdgeFlags() always returns 0. By "never quite reach" I mean that if dragging a finger off the left edge of the display, the smallest X I got was 2. Reaching the edge of the view doesn't seem to change the value returned either.
I suppose I could set the flags myself using setEdgeFlags() using calculations with known dimensions of the object whose edges I care about. Is that how it's supposed to be used? Is this broken for now?

Does anyone know if there is any way of returning to the homescreen after sending an SMS? I have a Desire Z and whilst it's only a case of pressing the home key, it's a small gripe as I have to flip the keyboard back in and press home.
I'm using the default SMS application and I'm not too fussed on external SMS apps as I don't like the graphics (I've tried Handcent and the default Android skin still isn't quite the same), plus the only real reason I wanted them was to change the LED colour, but that doesn't work either. Anyways, if anyone has some ideas please feel free to let me know.
