Android :: How To Utilize REST To Post GPS Data Into Application?
Apr 14, 2010
I am a student in the process a building an Android app that can post a GPS track into a Rails application. I would like to do things the "Rails" way and take advantage of the REST. My rails application basically has 3 models at this point: users, tracks, and points. A user has_many tracks and a track has_many points. A track also has a total distance. Points have a latitude and longitude. I have successfully been able to create an empty track with:
curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' -d '<track><distance>100</distance></track>' http://localhost:3000/users/1/tracks
That is pretty cool. I am really impressed that rails do this. Just to see what would happen I tried the following:
curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/xml -d '<track><distance>100</distance><points><point><lat>3</lat><lng>2</lng></point></points></track>' http://localhost:3000/users/1/tracks
Fail! The server spits back:
Processing TracksController#create (for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-04-14 00:03:25) [POST]
Parameters: {"track"=>{"points"=>{"point"=>{"lng"=>"2", "lat"=>"3"}}, "distance"=>"100"}, "user_id"=>"1"} User Load (0.6ms) SELECT * FROM "users" WHERE ("users"."id" = 1) ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch (Point(#-620976268) expected, got Array(#-607740138)): app/controllers/tracks_controller.rb:47:in 'create'
It seems my tracks_controller doesn't like or understand what it's getting from the params object in my tracks_controller.rb:
def create @track = @user.tracks.build(params[:track])
My xml might be wrong, but at least Rails seems to be expecting a Point from it. Is there anyway I can fix TracksController.create so that it will be able to parse xml of a track with nested multiple points? Or is there another way I should be doing this entirely?

To do that, I am trying to create a HTTP Multipart Post, as follows:

My doubt is: how can I extract those values in the server? I would like to develop a Servlet to receive and process the post requests. In this Servlet I would need to extract these values in th request. Can you help me? Do you have any sample of server to answer the android multipart requests?

I have set up a Button that will link to Google Checkout, however, I need to POST a whole lot of required data (not GET) so I can't use the usual Intent method.
CODE:......................
How do I post data to a URL by pressing a button and then load the result into a web browser? In this case it will be the Google Checkout webpage.

I'm new to the forums and so far am loving the vast amount of stuff I'm learning from this site and what this phone can really do! I just received my bill from Verizon for May and compared it to my April bill. I went from using 52MB of data on my Omnia to 545MB of data on my Incredible! I'm so thankful for the unlimited data
What was your data usage before and after you got your Incredible?

I'm making an Android Java app game (although this question applies to all languages really) and hope to release the first version soon. I'm nervous about how I save data in my game. My problem is that, if in a later update, I decide to store more data or store the same data in a different way, I need to be careful I don't lose or corrupt data for users that upgrade (i.e. I want users to be able to use data created by an old version in the new version, like their high scores from before).For example, say I want to save high scores in version 1.

I need to post some text to a remote server over HTTP, this server in turn puts these comment on a Wordpress page. I am still waiting for interface details. Is it possible to post comments directly on a Wordpress page from an Android or Java application? Links to relevant documentation, tutorials etc.

Currently I supply a user with a URL to click on to download my j2me application. This URL includes their user id as a parameter, a servlet takes this information and dynamically creates a jad file that includes this user id , thus making the user id available to the j2me app.
However, I am now using j2me polish to compile my program and thus have the compiled .apk for this same program. However, I cannot work out how to make this information accessible to the the compiled program as there is no jad / jar mechanism. The information is only available at the time of download.
Any suggestions gratefully received! (is this even possible in an android application?)

I am trying to post data to the Blob Store on google's app engine, this code runs without throwing any exceptions, but on the blobstore end there is no log on the post request at all. The server side stuff works when i post using a form (albeit with mime data). I have allowed my android app to use internet. This is a stab in the dark but if any of you folks might have had an issue like this before perhaps the problem i am having might ring a bell

I am working on my first Android Application. Now wat I want to do is to make a POST request to a restfull service running on server and I want the BODY of this request to be a JSon String. I am using GSon to generate the JSon to send to server. The code I am using to make the POST request follows:
HttpPost requisicao = new HttpPost();
requisicao.setURI(new URI(uri));
requisicao.setHeader("User-Agent", sUserAgent);
requisicao.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

I'm working on some apps for the android platform and I have two problems that I'm not quite sure how to approach, and both are closely related.How can I send a relatively small data file from one android device to another (preferably over the internet or directly through wireless network)?Is it possible to create a temporary p2p live data stream from one android device to another? An example application would be to stream low-res video from phone A's camera to phone B, or audio.I would much appreciate being pointed in the right direction on either issue (File transfer or real time data transfer).

to start with I've gone through the entire notepad tutorial, I'm a professional game programmer who has some extra time. (though most of my time has been in C++, I did take a year or two of Java classes in college, and remember some of it). I'm not sure the site is a good site to ask questions like this.. If someone has a Forum that might be a good place to ask these newbie questions, please feel free to point me in the direction. I've examined a few of the samples, and think I've a grasp of what I want to do. I've a three to four project plan for some Android releases to sharpen my skills, but since this is my first project and I have never really developed for a mobile phone or the android before, I'd like to make sure I have a solid plan.The first project is an example of the license plate game, however I want to do a few things to change it. Heck maybe when I'm done it'll become a bingo style game, with bluetooth connectivity, you never know. The base idea is I want to offer a list of states, with checkboxes next to them. so to do this, I'll be starting with a Linear List layout similar to the note pad example, and then have a row that is only a Checkbox. I can use text and call strike through if it's been checked off. Perhaps offer an option to not show them if they are checked.
But I want the list to be generated from a set of lists. Maybe all of America's states, maybe reasonable American states (no Hawaii, no Alaska) maybe a North American list, (add in Mexico and some Canadian provinces), a European list, who knows. I'd probably have to have a pop up window that lists all of the lists I suppose using a radiogroup of some sort. So then as far as the data, after weighing options I think best solution is to make a database with two fields, "checked" and "name".I figure I can use the menu for most of the user interaction (aside from clicking on stuff we want to check off) with maybe a few context menu items, I understand how to make all of those already so I should be good. The question I have is what is the best way to populate the lists? Should I create raw data, and have different files for all the lists? Or is there some other way to do this? I've seen this done on the searchable dictionary, but I'd like to hear what people who have actually generated the data like this before. In addition is there an easy way to look at the sql database these applications create, or do you have to run searches on them and output the data? Finally any other suggestion or advice? I definitely want to try to get something like this on the market so I can see the full life cycle and see if anyone actually likes it. (luckily there's not a plethora of them already) but I also want a few people to look over my code if they're willing when I'm done to make sure I've done this right or at least not missing any basic mistakes.

I am looking for a screen capture utility that DOES NOT require a rooted phone.HOW IDIOTIC, suppose I want to screen capture as a user, to help a developer do documentation? This is absurd that there's no apps for the rest of us honest users.there's something if I connect it to my PC. C'mon, I don't have to connect my home PC to some other computer to take screen snapshots. I want an app that works on the phone itself, and does not require root access.

In my app, I have different activities with listviews. The datas come from a server with a REST method, and it's only done once, when I start the application.
The pattern that I'd like to set is to precharge all the listviews with the JSONs that I already have in local, and in parallel, launch a thread that get the new JSONs files with my REST methods, and then update the listviews.
For now, when I start the app, I parse my JSONs files, and build all the lists of objects. I access them later in a static way, from my lists adapters.
So I would like to know the best way to launch this REST thread, and update the listview. Should I use AsyncTask ? A service ? and then, when I update my local JSONs, I have to re-parse them, updates the lists of object, and call in my adapters NotifyDataChanged ?
