This link says that Android support Python, Lua and BeanShell Scripts, subsequently for Perl too. If it is so, is it possible for developers to write python scripts and call them in their standard Java based android applications?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am porting a Python application to Android and, at some point, this application has to communicate with a Web Service, sending it compressed data. In order to do that it uses the next method:
def stuff(self, data): "Convert into UTF-8 and compress."
return zlib.compress(simplejson.dumps(data))
I am using the next method to try to emulate this behavior in Android:
private String compressString(String stringToCompress) { Log.i(TAG, "Compressing String " + stringToCompress);
byte[] input = stringToCompress.getBytes();
// Create the compressor with highest level of compression Deflater compressor = new Deflater();
//compressor.setLevel(Deflater.BEST_COMPRESSION);
// Give the compressor the data to compress compressor.setInput(input); compressor.finish();
// Create an expandable byte array to hold the compressed data.
// You cannot use an array that's the same size as the orginal because
// there is no guarantee that the compressed data will be smaller than
// the uncompressed data.
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(input.length);
// Compress the data byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while (!compressor.finished()) { int count = compressor.deflate(buf);
bos.write(buf, 0, count); } try { bos.close();
} catch (IOException e) { } // Get the compressed data byte[] compressedData = bos.toByteArray();
Log.i(TAG, "Finished to compress string " + stringToCompress);
return new String(compressedData);
}
But the HTTP response from the server is not correct and I guess it is because the result of the compression in Java is not the same as the one in Python. I ran a little test compressing "a" both with zlib.compress and deflate.
Python, zlib.compress() -> x%9CSJT%02%00%01M%00%A6
Android, Deflater.deflate -> H%EF%BF%BDK%04%00%00b%00b
How should I compress the data in Android to obtain the same value of zlib.compress() in Python?
I learned that the Android Scripting Environment (ASE) supports python code. Can I take my existing python programs and run them on android? Apart from the GUI, what else will I need to adapt? How can I find the list of supported python libraries for ASE?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just ordered an Android smartphone and want to start playing around with creating my own applications. Now the question is which language to use, the native Java or Python using SL4A (former ASE).
I tend to Python, as I know it much better than Java, but I'm wondering what I would be missing using a "second class" language on Android. On the SL4A website it is also stated to be alpha quality software, which is not exactly encouraging.
I'm also not quite sure what the limitations of the scripting environment are and if they would be problematic.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn 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?
Here's my Python script written using android-scripting:
CODE:............
while True:
CODE:.............
It basically vibrates every minute (like a motivator). However, when the phone is locked with screen blanked out, I don't sense any vibration. Perhaps Android is freezing the script (and hence the while loop)? Note that I am indeed running this script as a service (long-tap and click 'Start as service').
Is there a way to make this script work all the time regardless of the phone suspend state?
Update 1: I do hear the vibration occasionally, not every minute .. but rather like every 5-10 minutes randomly.
Update 2: This problems occurs if I run the script normally (not as a service). Seems like "time.sleep" is not sleeping for the specified time.

I've tried ping in terminal emulator and it works so you can enter internet over terminal emulator, so i tried apt-get install python but it says no apt-get command founder something like this, so how to install python on android with working commands( su ...) so that it can enter filesystem directories like /sdcard....
I am devoloping an application of image editor. I always do it by using the resources in the drawable carpet. Now I changed it to use the resources in the SD card. I don't change the code of the image access but the program always produce an error if I intent to set the value of a pixel. The program works correctly if I try to read the pixel but if I try to modify it fails. I think this is a permissions error but I added the following: <uses-permission android:name="com.android.editorImagenes.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></ uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="com.android.editorImagenes.permission.WRITE_OWNER_DATA"></ uses-permission> And everything remains exactly the same. I'm desperate. A thing happens is that if I try to do the scaling or rotating the image using a matrix postrotate, etc, the program works correctly and as of this moment I can use the SetPixel without causing error.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've a lot of initialization code in my main activity's onCreate(). When I launch my game, the screen goes black for a long time, then my game appears. I did logged some message at the start and end of onCreate() and found that onCreate() is executing its code while the screen is black. Sometimes the screen goes black for too long and phone shows a popup dialog prompting me to choose between Force close/Wait. Then when onCreate() is completed, my game appears. Choosing 'Wait' then dismiss the dialog.
I tried using progress dialog described in this article:

But it doesn't work. The screen goes black for the same amount of time even after I use the progress dialog.
I would like to a WebView to run some JavaScript before loading the rest of the page.

I'm trying to modify the Android device driver for calibre (an e-book management program) so that it identifies devices by only vendor id and product id, and excludes BCD.
The driver is a fairly simply python plugin, and is currently set up to use all three numbers, but apparently, when Android devices use custom Android builds (ie CyanogenMod for the Nexus One), it changes the BCD so calibre stops recognizing it.
The current code looks like this, with a simple list of vendor id's, that then have allowed product id's and BCD's with them:
CODE:..........
The line I'm specifically trying to change is:
CODE:............
Which is, the line for identifying a Nexus One. My N1, running CyanogenMod 5.0.5, has the BCD 0x226, and rather than just adding it to the list, I'd prefer to eliminate the BCD from the recognition process, so that any device with vendor id 0x18d1 and product id 0x4e11 or 0x4e12 would be recognized. The custom Android rom doesn't change enough for the specifics to matter.
The syntax seems to require the BCD in brackets.
How can I edit this so that it matches anything in that field?

Trying to root my Hero for the first time. I am downloading the InstantRoot.apk.zip file, extracting it to InstantRoot.apk, which I then copy to the root folder of the phones sdcard.
When I try to execute it, using Astro, and choose "Open App Manager", it says "Could not open /sdcard/InstantRoot.apk as a APK file". What am I doing wrong? Is it maybe the unzipping that causes it?
How can i get device information from nonrooted device with python script? As I understand python don't have API like os.android.build in Java.
I need to get system information from device, such as cpu frequencies, gpu vendor and other (like in Antutu and another benchmarks).

I am trying to execute a {public void} method in Service, from scheduled TimerTask which is periodically executing.This TimerTask periodically checks a condition. If it's true, it calls method via {className}.{methodName};However, as Java requires, the method needs to be {pubic static} method, if I want to use {className} with {.dot}.The problem is this method is for notification using Toast(Android pop-up notification) and Status Bar.But for this to work, the method must not have {static} modifier and resides in Service class.So, basically, I want background Service to evaluate condition from scheduled TimerTask, and execute a method in Service class.Can anyone help me what's the right way to use Service, invoking a method when certain condition is satisfied while looping evaluation?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat I am trying to do is get either nest-api in PHP or pynest in python to run out of SL4A in order to control my Nest thermostat ultimately out of Tasker. Both are found on github, but I can't link to them as I apparently need ten posts to do so. So a google search for "nest-api github" and "pynest github" will have to do I suppose.
I have absolutely no issues getting either to run out of Terminal on my MacBook Air, but for whatever reading the SL4A shell seems to escape my understanding. I would rather have the PHP script work, as it has more options for things I can set, which I like. Where to put the nest.class.php on my phone in order for the PHP shell to reference it when running the example.php or any script I write myself. When I put both files in the sdcard/sl4a/scripts folder and try to run either from within either sl4a or sl4a's shell I get a call to undefined function error.
For the python script, I'm not sure how I need to import the module so that I can call it with nest.py at the beginning of my command line prompt and follow it up with the user name and password and so on. I've done everything including trying to create an .egg file, which I've since been told is not necessary, and that I simply have to put it in the /sl4a/scripts folder. That doesn't make sense to me though, as I needed to run the setup.py command on my computer in order to start using it, and the .egg file should be the equivalent of that on the phone, no?
So what I am looking for is the foolproof way to get either a php or python script running through the shell that isn't actually hooking into the Android environment at all, which is what all the writeups I have found in my searching seems to pertain to. Then eventually make sure that they are available in a way that Tasker can call them. I should also note that all this has been done in an emulator through eclipse until this point, as I didn't want to go screwing around with my brand new Nexus 4's file structure until I had the best practice perfected.
