I have created a web application in ruby on rails and I want to use it now in my android application. I use http basic authentication in my website but I don't get any success to authenticate me trough the android application..
I have protected resources and pages on the website that needs authentication to access it! How can I get this right in my application?
How can i do the authentication? i have tried with a arthroscope and BasicCredentialsProvider but i think i am not doing it good! Can someone help me!
I have set below code before calling url for http basic authentication but it is not working. Code...
Can someone quote working code of http basic authentication?
I routinely use my g1's browser to connect to a website that is protected with basic authentication (so you get the popup for username and password). Ever since updating to cupcake, my phone seems incapable or unwilling to correctly use / remember my passwords. It's driving me crazy, and I'm ready to chuck the thing out the window, or at least revert to the previous version. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do basic authentication to view a protected url. I want to access the protected url which looks like this:
http://api.test.com/userinfo/vid?=1234. So I do the following with a WebView:
mWebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword("api.test.com", "", "me@test.com", "my password");
mWebView.loadUrl("http://api.test.com/userinfo/user?uid=53461");
but the authentication doesn't seem to work, I'm just getting an output error page. Am I using the WebView method correctly here?
Update:
Trying with curl: curl -u me@test.com:mypassword http://api.test.com/userinfo/user?uid=53461
and it pulls the page fine. I tried every combination of the host parameter, the owners of the api don't know what I mean by 'realm' though (and neither do I) - what info could I give them to help this along?
I am checking out the class org.apache.http.auth. Any more reference or example if anyone has?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using androids MediaPlayer to stream from an http url and have a question about seeking. Currently, our urls expire after they have been used once or a certain time out has expired to dissuade scraping content. Now, this obviously makes progressive streaming past the buffer impossible with the exact same url as you need to open a new http connection with the same mangled key, which we intentionally don't allow.
However, MediaPlayer seems to do this when seeking before the current position (i.e. seeking from 1:00 in the audio to 0:30). As the file has already been downloaded up to the current position I'm confused as to why MediaPlayer is still trying to initate a new http connection in this case? The only thing I can think of is that MediaPlayer is getting rid of audio its already played up to the current position, and hence needs to restart the connection if you try to seek back on the stream. Is this correct, or is there something else going on?
I have a requirement to play several sounds many times in my game so instead of creating the MediaPlayer again and again I have called mp.seekTo(0) in onCompletion(mp) so that it will restart. Sometimes the sound is not audible from the device when I call mp.start () after setting mp.seekTo(0); but the player calls onCompletion() without playing any sound, this is observed randomly on most of the sounds
My sounds are of short duration mostly less than a second.
I am using a separate MediaPlayer for each sound (as I need this) -
There are almost 28 sounds in my game so i will be creating 28 MediaPlayers.
Below is the attached code for player
Also If I try to play many sounds one after the other in a short period of time i get an error saying "no more track names available". can u tell Why this is happening...?
check the below code:

I'm new to programming applications for the Android OS. As far as general architecture of the OS goes, I understand that processes are implemented as Linux processes and that each one is sandboxed.
However, I'm utterly confused on the IPCs and syscalls (if any) used. I know that the IBinder is a form of this; parcels are sent back and forth between processes and Bundles are array forms of parcels (?). But even that is still unfamiliar to me. Same with Intents. All in all, I don't understand what kinds of IPCs are implemented and how.
Could someone briefly explain to me the specific methods used by user level applications in Android OS to communicate with each other and the OS? I've done kernel programming and played with various IPCs in Linux (Ubuntu and Debian) so it would help immensely if this was all explained in relation to what I'm familiar with...

The total Android source code seems to be 2.1 GB. Where do I get the source code of those functions that I call with the API to integrate it into Eclipse?
I just deodexed the FRG01 build Pete posted a few days ago. I'm amazed i learned how to do it, although I had a tool that made it easier. Now I'm seeing during the deodexing it says the files are being put into a (origi_app) and (origi_frame) folder Root Explorer to look for these files and can't find them on my phone. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'm on my way to making my first basic ROM.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can I achieve the following layout in Android?
What I would like, is to have the 3 blue boxes top aligned in their view, and then I'd like to have the red box centered underneath the blue boxes, but so that when I animate the red box up, it slides underneath the blue box.
I have tried placing the blue and red boxes in different layouts, but as soon as I animate the red box up, if it goes outside the border of its layout, it disappears (I don't want the red box's layout to clip the red box, I want the red box to slide under the blue box so that the blue box occludes the red box.)
I have also managed to create this layout using a series of nested layouts, but because of the draw order, the red box always appears on top of the blue box. I attempted to use the bringToFront() method, but I found out that this only works on sibling views within the same layout. Unfortunately I can't get this type of layout while keeping all 4 views within the same layout. Any suggestions? (also, if anyone has better suggestions for the title of this question I'm all ears)
Would sure like to find a good way of keeping authentication info for my android device in sync with my desktop, and laptop. anyone know of such.
I had been thinking about using pwdhash for firefox then I could keep my info between the desktop and laptop, still does not help with the android though.
I was wondering, all my school networks have you log on once you get in the browser to show you a valid user. However, even though I have WiFi on and I am connected to the network, if I go into the browser it clearly just uses the signal I have for cell, not WiFi. I'd like to have the faster connection, but I feel like you have to be on only WiFi in order to put in that information, but I couldn't turn off my wireless network. Is there a way to do this, or is there a way to make this log in thing much easier? Cause I don't really want to turn my wireless cell connection on off everytime I want to authenticate ya know?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a Rom that has bare items in it? I'm talking about just the basic basic essentials that makes the stock rom look like a joke. Something that doesn't contain ringtones, music files, just the bare items to keep the rom going: basic phone, basic texting, etc. and no added items like facebook, twitter, etc. No added scripts, features. If none like this exists, then does anyone know what is safe to remove from a stock rom and what needs to stay? I'm looking into making my own personal rom (and maybe one I can share with you all) that I can play with as far as adding and removing items while maintaining max storage space on the phone itself.

Getting reports that mp3 files <= 0.34 secs in length, are not played (or, at least, inaudible) on the Droid X. Works fine on other devices I've tried (e.g. Nexus One, Hero, G1)
All files longer than 0.34 secs are working fine. I've tested this with about 100 files (mixture of short and long) and the correlation is 100%.
If not, please consider this a formal request. I understand it will take away the sliding keyboard functionality, but I still want one. Honestly, I just like the idea of a slip over silicone case, as opposed to a snap on case. Any help where I can at least find a basic black slip over silicone case for the droid?
