Android :: Communicating Thread With ProgressBar

Nov 14, 2009

Here is my code:

CODE:......

The problem is as follows: progressBar is showing correctly. mHandler obtains the message but only once(for the first time). But I need to make it in loop(as Looper.loop should have worked in this case), so it calls mHandler handleMessage in every loop(but its not happening in this case). The outcome progressBar kept on rotating though the condition in the handleMessage (if(location!=null) )is getting satisfied in the mean time of the active progressbar. How can I make mHandle,sendEmptyMessage to call in each loop so I can check for this (if(location!=null)) condition.

Android :: Communicating With PC - C#

Jan 13, 2010

I want to create an application in Android which communicates with a server application (written in C#, doesn't matter what version of .NET) on the PC via TCP/IP. I was thinking about some kind of RPC like SOAP or XML-RPC. But I want to keep the server application as light and simple as possible. And I think in C# you rely on a Webserver to set up an RPC server. Or maybe is it better to communicate directly via the TcpListener?

Android :: Communicating Between An App And A Widget

May 10, 2010

Whether its possible for an application and a widget to communicate data to each other directly? Basically I'd need the app to be able to check that the widget is running/visible, and would need the app to send information to the widget. I'm far from actually implementing anything yet, so I'm not really looking for any overly detailed explanations, just if whether or not what I'm looking to achieve is possible.

Android :: Communicating With The PC Via USB Connection

Apr 12, 2010

I'm fairly new to android programming and need some information for a 4th year forensics course project. Basically I am trying to create a suite of tools for live analysis of an android phone. I know how to get the information I need on the phone, but I was wondering if there was a way to communicate that information back to the PC? I want to be able to run a program from a PC, which, when the phone is docked, will allow the user to access information about the phone (ie currently running services/processes, bluetooth/wifi connections, etc). I have a bunch of methods that will run on the phone and get all the information, but I want to be able to call those methods from the PC, execute on the phone, then have the information sent back to the PC to display to the user instead of just displaying it on the phone. This is to leave as small a footprint on the phone as possible.

Android :: Communicating With Servers

Oct 18, 2010

I come from a .Net background and recently x-training to java.

I wanted to develop an Android application that required simple functionality to communicate with a server. For example, functionality such as post a username/score to a website (or service), or request information such as top 10 scores.

What type of communications should I focus on? What is the common technology to use? Does Java have the equivalent of WCF? Or does it have some sort of simple web service? Can web services be secured with authentication?

Ive heard other references to xml-rpc. Should this be something I should look into?

Android :: BroadcastReceiver Communicating With Activity

Feb 26, 2009

Is it possible to update a currently running activity from a BroadcastReceiver? I want to update my activity from a BroadcastReceiver that runs alongside it. When I run my app (from Eclipse), my activity starts. When the BroadcastReceiver is triggered, it currently tries to start the activity (with extras in the bundle...this is the important part), but nothing happens, presumably because the activity is already running. So my question is, how do I get the new information to my Activity (or even just tell the activity that there's new information to get if I stick the information in a database)? This seems like it should be fairly straightforward, but I'm clearly missing something.

Android :: Apostrophe In Communicating With PHP Script?

Jul 14, 2010

I am communicating with PHP web services in Android application. All the requests send from android are encoded with UTF-8 and the php scripts decodes it with utf-8.

But when any request is send with apostrophe ' the decode function of php doesn't seem to work the way it should.

For example, if I send the request as "Today's Horoscope" then its utf-8 encode will be "Today%27s+Horoscope". I tried to decode this with Android and it was successful. But in php it gives the same text after decoding.

The database is MySql. Is this a problem with database or php? I am not sure about it but is there any workaround to this problem?

Android :: Using Socket In Service Communicating With More Activities

Aug 29, 2010

I want to create an application to remote control my PC.

For example: Volume (get actual volume level, increase/decrease/mute volume), TVtime (start/quit tvtime, get actual channel, toggle fulscreen, channel up/down, toggle input source, toggle aspect ratio), Amarok (start/quit amarok, get current song, prev/next song, play/stop/ pause), etc.

The application for the PC is done (in python). The communication protocol used is very simple.

For example: "volume:get_level", "volume:up", "volume:mute", etc. Now I'm working on the android application.

What I have implemented till now is to create an activity, with: - an edittext to enter host:port - a button to connect/disconnect to/from server - the onCreate method creates a new thread for socket communication to send/receive messages to/from PC. - a textview to display information received from PC (eg. volume level) - a button to send command to PC I'm using handler to communicate between the tcpclient thread and the main activity.

It is working... But I want to use more than 1 activity. I want to use different activity for every program controlled. Searching for a solution to transfer the thread's handler to a new activity I have found that it is not possible, and I have to use a service.

So, my question is: how to send message from different activities to the same service, how to send message from service to the actual activity and how can I check in the service which is the actual activity? Because the service is running in the same thread as the activities I suppose that I still have to create a new thread for socket communication. How can I send the data received by the socket to the service?

Android :: Communicating Between Two Smartphones Without Using Cellular Tower

Aug 14, 2010

Lets say I have 2 mobile phones which are 50 meters away from each other and I would like to send a very small packet of data from mobile-A to mobile-B, without using any communication to cellular tower. To make it simpler, I would like to build an app which implements a Peer to Peer connection for 2 mobiles in the same radius (in the same area). Is this feasible using the technology of smartphones these days?

Android :: Apps - Communicating With Device Plugged In USB Port

Sep 27, 2010

I'm thinking about an Android app (with possibly an accompanying physical device), and i'm trying to figure out whether this is something that's feasible.

1) Let's say I plug my Android to my PC. Would it be possible for an app installed on the PC to communicate with an app running in the cell phone? I just need a very simplistic data exchange, it can even be one-way (just data pushed from the cell phone to the listening app on the PC, whenever the cell phone wants, I don't need any data sent from PC to phone).

When I plug it in, the phone gives me 4 options (charge, disk drive, HTC sync, tethering), which makes me think this is not doable, but still worth the shot.

2) Would it be possible for an app on the PC to talk to an app on the phone through any other way? (Wi-fi, bluetooth, etc). I'm guessing no on wi-fi since neither party has the other's IP (and I want this to kinda just work, not having to input IPs manually all the time).

3) If I make a device that's plugged to the little USB port at the bottom of the phone (and let's say this is a magical device that can do anything, I don't quite care about those details as long as it's doable). Can I have an Android app talk to that device?

4) Any other ideas to make the phone talk to a "device" that I make, or to an app in the PC are more than welcome. Going "through the web" could be an option (although there'd have to be a central server that I own as a middle man, I believe). But i'd prefer if the communication was direct between the two devices.

Android : Handle Messages Between The Main Thread(the Deafult UI Related Thread) And The User Created Gamethread

May 21, 2009

I am writing an application in which i need to handle messages between the main thread(the deafult UI related thread) and the user created Gamethread.

The requirement is like this.

An activity(say "Activity_X") is setting the view by "setContentView(some "View_Y")". In "Activity_X" i have implemeted "onCreateOptionsMenu()" and "onOptionsItemSelected()" fucntions for creating menus & a switch case for action to be taken on selecting those menus.Menu has items like "resume/pause/zoom/" .

All action to be take on selecting these menus are implemented in "View_Y" in a separate Gamethread by extending "Thread" class.

So whenever a menu is selected in "Activity_X" i need to send a message to "View_Y". And on receiving this ,a particular action/method should be called in View_Y(GameThread).

How can i achieve this using Handlers?Is there any other way of doing this? Please do share with me some code snippets for these.

Oct 27, 2010

I'm using xml file to define progress bar. I defined padding on background shape. But this setting will be sometimes displayed correctly, sometimes not.

Then I close my application and start it again, and, progressbar is displayed without padded background, on next start will be displayed correctly and son on ... Could you please advice possible reasons for this?
