Android :: Retrieving And Parsing ICal Data Over HTTP
Jan 23, 2010
I am making an application that asks the user for userid, appends the userid to a static HTTP link to retrieve the user's daily schedule info file that has a .ical (calendar) extension. I need to read the data from file, format in new UI and representing some useful data on an Android device. My query is can I access a static HTTP link behind the scenes? And when I use the same link on desktop browser, it asks user to save the file — how can I do this on a mobile? Do I need to read the data and save it somewhere or I can save the .ical file and read from it?

What are the best practices parsing XML from an HTTP resource in Android? I've been using HttpURLConnection to retrieve an InputStream, wrapping it with a BufferedInputStream, and then using SAX to parse the buffered stream. For the most part it works, though I do receive error reports of SocketTimeoutException: The operation timed out or general parsing error. I believe it's due to the InputStream. Would using HttpClient instead of HttpURLConnection help? If yes, why? Should the stream be output to a file, having the file parsed instead of the stream?

I created the following method for retrieving stored settings from the database:
public String getEntry(long rowIndex){
String value = "";
Cursor c = db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_NAME, VALUE}, KEY_NAME + "=" + rowIndex, null, null, null, null);
int columnIndex = c.getColumnIndex(VALUE);
int rowsCount = c.getCount();
if(rowsCount > 0){
String value = c.getString(columnIndex);
}
return value;
}
On debugging I can see cursor c contains two columns and one row but when it comes to line
String value = c.getString(columnIndex);
it throws the CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException although columnIndex = 1 which should point to a valid entry. Does anyone know what could be wrong here?

I want to call a USSD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSD) command and have the reply returned as a String. I can make the device automatically dial the USSD - like so
// String encodedHash = Uri.encode("#"); String ussd = "*" + encodedHash + "105" + encodedHash; startActivityForResult(new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL", Uri.parse("tel:" + ussd)), 1); //
This calls the USSD and the result is displayed in an alert menu generated by the OS dialer. There's no way that I can see to intercept the USSD reply, prevent the dialer displaying it, and then use the result as a String. Essentially, all I really want to do is (pseudo code) // String ussdReply = call("*#105#"); // I've tried creating an "onActivityResult" but it never receives anything from the startActivityForResult. So, does anyone know how I can use the reply within an application?

I have an AppWidget which provides a summary of some data stored and controlled by my main Application. (In a similar way to a Calendar AppWidget showing the next event from the main Calendar application). I want to know the best practice for retrieving the data to update my widget. I have followed the example, and I have extended AppWidgetProvider and have a working widget, onto which I can update. I would expect to read the data from my main application and then update it via my AppWidgetProvider's onUpdate() routine.
Now, is the best practice here for my separate main application to provide the data via a ContentProvider? I assume so, as my Appwidget is not part of the same application. Is it possible to access a ContentProvider inside my onUpdate() routine? Before writing my main application content provider I started to test out retrieving some available data like Contacts information, and showing say a contact name in my widget, to show I can extract data from an existing ContentProvider. When accessing the Contacts contentprovider, the examples talk about:
1) Activity.managedQuery(), but my AppWidget is not an activity. 2) ContentResolver.query(), but I can't work out how to get a valid ContentResolver so I can access the Contacts. getContentResolver() does not appear to be defined for AppWidgetProviders. Am I approaching this the correct way?

I'm kinda new to android programming so please bear with me. I'm having some problems with retrieving records from the db. Basically, all I want to do is to store latitudes and longitudes which GPS positioning functions outputs and display them in a list using ListActivity on different tab later on. This is how the code for my DBAdapter helper class looks like:
public class DBAdapter
{
public static final String KEY_ROWID = "_id";
public static final String KEY_LATITUDE = "latitude";
public static final String KEY_LONGITUDE = "longitude";
private static final String TAG = "DBAdapter";....................

I am trying to use OData4J to retrieve a list of Users from the StackOverflow OData service (onto an Android 2.1 device), but it isn't working.
public static Enumerable<OEntity> getUserInfo() {
ODataConsumer c = ODataConsumer.create("https://odata.sqlazurelabs.com/OData.svc/v0.1/rp1uiewita/StackOverflow/");
return c.getEntities("Users").execute();
I think it is unable to retrieve data from the URL. Any ideas why this would be? Is there anything wrong with my code?

I have the following issue; a couple of months ago i had a Desire z (happy HTC One owner now) but it fell and it broke. Or atleast the phone itself/ screen does nothing. However i can hook the phone up to my pc and its get recognized and i can browse the phone with the command prompt.
My phone broke while i was on a trip in Thailand and unfortunately the info (email adresses from new friends) that i typed into google keep that night had not been synced yet...
I would very much like to get this info off of my phone and read it or transfer it to my new phone or something (reading it on the pc has my preference as my HTC One is not rooted).

I just returned this fabulous device called the EVO. After waiting months and prepping by joining android forums and downloading various applications I found that the small bit lethal disagreements of not being able to properly sync iCal/contacts, wifi not connecting to networks in the same room and the biggest issue of them all, 1 phone bar in your house and outside of your house, making the use of such a wonderful device like buying a car without wheels�what�s the sense (pun intended). I just don�t get how after such advancements in technology how such well thought out devices like Mac�s OS and a open source OS like Android can�t get along. Millions are invested in R&D in these OS and devices. And things like contacts and calendar should be simple enough to play with any OS. Still I looked past those issues until I ran into the wifi issues at home. I am a techie at heart and a finance database programmer by day. So, when I say that my wifi setup at home should be able to connect to any b/g/n capable chip, I am not doing any guessing here. My EVO just would not get more than one bar, and I updated the firmware on my wireless network even when all of the other devices work perfectly well with my setup.

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 would like to play around with some ideas and develop a soft keyboard for Android to replace the default one.
Is there any general information about soft keyboard development for Android out there?
Any best practices or guidelines?
Can I do with my keyboard application pretty much anything I could do with a normal Android application?
Can I do HTTP connections to synchronize keyboard data with a cloud DB and other phones I have?
Can I open other windows/screens from a key press, e.g. to display a custom input interface different to a normal QWERTY one. If that doesn't work, can I use a pop-up dialog instead?
