Android :: Break Export Laws When Access Web Site Using Https From App
Dec 11, 2009If I access my web site using https from my app will it break any export laws?

View 2 RepliesI'm creating an app for the Android platform which will connect with just one site using HTTPS. It is essential that it won't be able to connect to any other sites, even with valid SSL certificates. I want it to be resistant to every form redirection (for example to site pretending to be the one I need to connect with) or other "attacks". Unfortunately I cannot find any good tutorial about SSL in Android.Do you know any? I'd be grateful for some links or advices. Or maybe could you give me some code snippets? My app is prepared to use HttpURLConnection or HttpClient - it makes no difference which path will I choose.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a weird problem. Some of my ex-wife's friends are still listed in my phone list. I have deleted them from "People" (there is no contacts app on my Droid Eris.) I have deleted them from my Gmail account. And I have unfriended them on Facebook. My sympathetic daughter showed me that I could simply hold the contact listing until it opened to edit. Then press menu and then choose delete. And that works just fine--for any contact except those who were friends with the Ex!! Yeah really funny to me too! Since I don't have the most finesse with the touch screen (I'm an old-school full computer keyboard guy) sometimes it is easy to accidentally dial one of these people of whom I have zero desire to talk to. I know computers and know there is an answer somewhere. Glad if one of you could help me find this answer.

Alas, it seems it is not that easy.
From what I understand (and I could be incorrect), any HTML/JS access to the device's hardware is limited to local 'pages'. So essentially create a HTML/JS local 'web' app to access the 'real' mobile web app by AJAX like calls. It seems a little redundant (at least to me) when the point is to simply extend the interface an existing mobile site.
Not trying to knock PhoneGap here, just wondering if there's a similar framework that allows a remote site to access the phone's hardware directly. Or if I've missed how that can be done with PhoneGap.
(Sure, I know "allows a remote site to access the phone's hardware directly" sounds scary - but the URL is hard-coded in the app, and HTTPS could provide authenticity. Of course, security is probably why this isn't supported by PhoneGap.)
I would like to manually add a line break to my TextView. Now sure how I can do this.

I have a couple of apps that have changed from free to trial versions and would like to have them not show up as needing an update. I am rooted, and have SQLite and Root Explorer but I cannot find where that bit of info is stored. If someone could point me in the right direction, or if you know of an app to do this, that would be great. I know TB can backup/restore the market link so it should be possible to break it somehow.
I had Eclipse running with the Android plug-in and I decided to add the Emacs plug-in. I downloaded and it worked. Then I decided to go back to the Eclipse key bindings and the Android plug-in disappeared. I could not update it, because Eclipse said it was installed, but it was not showing up in the menu.
I had to re download Eclipse, and reinstall the plug-in.
Why don't different plug-ins cooperate? I had the same issue when I tried to download the Blackberry plug-in alongside the Android plug-in (in different workspaces) and that also did not work. The only solution is to have two separate Eclipse each with a different plug-in.
Assuming I didn't start in debug mode, is there a way to make the eclipse debugger automatically start if my app throws an exception inside the emulator?
Alternatively, is there a way to get a more useful error message out of the emulator (something more useful than "Sorry, your app terminated unexpectedly").

Presently am displaying html file in web view and my emulator size 1024*600. If the html file is large then user is scrolling down to see bottom part of the html. I Need to break these html file in equal parts so that it fits exactly in my screen size. I don't want User to Scroll Down but load remaining part (next page) next time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my Android application user can fill database with imported data, then perform predefined, complex SQL query. With some data pattern, query will take very long (minutes and more on HTC Hero), while common usage will not exceed 10-15 seconds.
Is there any way to cancel pending SQLite query on Android? Timeout would be as good as well, partial results are not required. I'm performing query within AsyncTask.doInBackground()
I know best way is optimize query or change app logic, but in this case results depends on user knowledge anyway, so I'd like to help those who enter troublesome pattern.
Is it possible to make TextView to break words in the middle and then move to another line, instead moving whole word that doesn't fit to the new line ? I have a width and number of lines of the TextView and a long string and want to calculate which portion of the String will fit exactly. the code is TextView vTextShort = (TextView) findViewById (R.id.story_text_partial); int lineHeight = vTextShort.getLineHeight(); int nmbLines = mesuredHeight / lineHeight; Paint mPaint = vTextShort.getPaint(); String shortTextStr = mStoryText; mStoryBreakIdx = 0; vTextShort.setLines(nmbLines ); int breakText = mPaint.breakText(mStoryText.toCharArray(), 0, mStoryText.length(), mesuredWidth, null); mStoryBreakIdx = breakText * nmbLines; It seems to calculate number of chars accurately but not accounting for the space that left after word is moved to a new line if it doesn't fit fully. And i'm looking on how to either break words in the middle or how calculate a width of the text that will fit correctly.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm new to implementing HTTPS connections in Android. Essentially, I'm trying to connect to a server using the org.apache.http.client.HttpClient. I believe, at some point, I'll need to access the application's keystore in order to authorize my client with a private key. But, for the moment, I'm just trying to connect and see what happens; I keep getting an HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request error.
I can't seem to make heads or tails of this despite many examples (none of them seem to work for me). My code looks like this (the BODY constant is XmlRPC):

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get an image from a https url but it doesn't seem to display and get the image correctly but works fine on my computer browser. I have tested out a http url pointing to a different image and it works fine. My code is below:
public Bitmap getContactPhoto(String url) {
Bitmap pic = null; try { pic = BitmapFactory
.decodeStream((InputStream) new URL(
"https://mail.google.com/mail/photos/static/AD34hIjbK2m-Lj333E4nBcCkBC3MYl2tTs0xizuSqUOP3-Jd6DOrpFg1M5HG8jXh0MuPbeFepInZZDu92Dx8ST4b59EbOKmfYTortuuO3P1_Ohyu7b7a3gc")
.getContent()); } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } return pic; }
Here is the code from the activity class that calls the method above:
private ImageView mContactPhoto; private ContactDetailsViewHelper mViewHelper;
mContactPhoto = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.contact_photo);
mViewHelper = new ContactDetailsViewHelper(mContext);
mContactPhoto.setImageBitmap(mViewHelper.getContactPhoto(mDetail.getImageRef()));
ignore the mDetail.getImageRef, that passes the real url value but for this case I tried hard coding the url as you can see from the getContactPhoto method.
How to collect URLs of all http/https requests made by the phone as well as well as the return status code and user agent from the headers. This information should be coming for all browser requests and other applications too.Please let me know this information can be retrieved on App level or we have to go to system level for this.

Does anyone have any pointers?
I downloaded Android SDK when I run setup, it displays the following error message.
Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.
I need to do is download some basic text-based and image files from a web server that has a self-signed SSL certificate. I have been trying to figure out how to use HttpClient to do this, but getting the SSL to work is a nightmare that seems to be way too much trouble for such a simple task. Is there a better way to perform these file downloads? Perhaps through a WebView or Browser feature? Reinventing the wheel of making a simple HTTPS GET request is a major pain, and is significantly holding up my development schedule.

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(4096);
while (true) { int i = in.read(); if (i == 0) break;
else if (i == -1) throw new EOFException();
sb.append((char)i); }
What I see (with thousands of times run) is that this code takes about 1ms for every 7-10 bytes read. So reading just 10k takes almost a second!
I'm trying to load https requests with a Webkit object but It shows only a blank page, with http requests I don't have problems, It shows the page correctly. I have look the source code of the browser, in http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Browser.git;a... but I don't understand how the browser process the https requests. I think that the class BrowserActivity process the http and https requests but I don't see how to do it. Somebody could explain how the browser process the https request? It uses a Webview object to show the response of the https requests?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to stream video over https from Android browser. If the video URL is http, everything works fine. But when I switch the url to https, no video can be played. I tried 2 methods to stream over http/ https through Android browser.
1. Use html5 Video tag on browser (Android 2.0+ device) and call video.play( ) from javascript. - With Https url. Browser launches media player and the player displays alert dialog saying "Can't play video". I captured the client TCP traffic and found no SSL handshake between client and server. It looks like the player pops up the alert on any https link. - With Http url. Browser launches media player and the player can stream the video successfully.
2. Use direct link of html <a> tag on browser and click the link - With Https url. Browser downloads the video file without launching the player. The browser seems not try to load any https link in media player. - With Http url. Browser launches media player and the player can stream the video successfully.
So the above tests make me think Android media player cannot play media from any https url.
I have Android pet-project DroidIn which utilizes HttpClient 4 (built into Android) to do some form based authentication. I started noticing that people who are using WiFi are reporting connection problems. It also doesn't help that site I'm accessing has self-assigned certificate. Well - the question is (I'm quite vague on WiFi details) If WiFi at the hotspot doesn't support HTTPS would that be a good enough reason for connection to fail and is there anything that I can do beside proxying into another appserver using HTTP which then would call HTTPS site?
