Did anyone try playing audio/video through http/rtsp. I am having a problem with either of the approach.... I am getting an error Command PLAYER_INIT completed with PVMFError I some cases I got Command PLAYER_INIT completed with PVMFErrorContentInvalidForProgressiveDownoload.
Can some one explain what is the problem. The code snippet I am using is given below. Code...
The code works fine when I say mVideoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/vv.3gp"); but not able to play if I give a rtsp/http urls. In case of http it says PVMFErrorContentInvalid for progressive download.
Can some body tell me what is the problem. Can you please post the code if someone has been successful in playing audio/video through http/rtsp.
Could someone provide the basic code to use if I want to perform a http request on android to the address "address" with the string "message" ? Also I'd like to check the server response and perform some actions if the right conditions meet , but I ' m unsure of how and when the server send back the response . My guess is that the response is gotten in a blocking function, or in an asynchronous function . Could you provide code or information on this as well ?

I tried adding the parameters to this request by first creating a BasicHttpParams object and adding the parameters to that object, then calling setParams( basicHttpParms ) on my HttpGet object. This method fails. But if I manually add my parameters to my URL (i.e. append '?param1=value1�m2=value2') it succeeds.

Anothing problem that i might in counter is how to handle the information that is returned. For example, i want to send a request for "local resturnats" to Google and have the results returned and then displayed to the user in a ListView. Am i going about this the right way? Is there an API that i could use (GoogleMaps or AJAX Search)?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a game in development that makes http calls to my server. The server handles some database interaction and returns some XML for the game to parse. The issue is that the connection seems very unreliable. I believe my server is in part to blame for this because it can be somewhat unresponsive at times, but the frequency is MUCH greater when communicating with the phone than with a browser on a computer. I also notice that it gets worse when 3G is not available for the phone and it is on the edge network. Is there any way to code my app to make it more robust? Do I need to retry calls X times on failures?
Here is the code I am using now:

I have an Android application from which I want to upload some data to a database on my web server. As the MySql java library has a size of about 5 mb, I don't want to include it with the application.So I'll make a HTTP request for a php script and send the data with the URL as parameters. How do I make sure that only I can call this? I don't want people to sniff up the URL and call it outside my application.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to make an http request to a remote server while properly handling cookies (eg. storing cookies sent by the server, and sending those cookies when I make subsequent requests). It'd be nice to preserve any and all cookies, but really the only one I care about is the session cookie.
With java.net, it appears that the preferred way to do this is using java.net.CookieHandler (abstract base class) and java.net.CookieManager (concrete implementation). Android has java.net.CookieHandler, but it does not seem to have java.net.CookieManager.
I could code it all by hand by inspecting http headers, but it seems like there must be an easier way.
What is the proper way to make http requests on Android while preserving cookies?
I honestly could not think of a good title. Sorry. Anyway, so I have an app that I am making where I pull information from my custom web api. I pull data from the api and fill in the layout with this information. Problem is it takes a while so the app stalls for a few seconds before the information is pulled since it is in the onCreate method of the activity. To resolve this I implemented a loading dialog. This is where the problems began. I put the http requests into a seperate thread and it downloads fine. No problem. However it keeps force closing every time I try to modify the layout afterward. So basically my question is how do I modify the layout after the background thread is finished? Everything I try keeps force closing the app.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to send an http request from my app to script on my website. The script simply writes the parameters received from the request. If I send the request from a browser it works, so the script is ok, but from my app nothing happens.
This is the code I'm using. The toast at the beginning is only to check if the parameters arrive correctly to the function, they are correct.
Code:
public void postData(String from, String to, String date, String time, String searchby, String type, String orderby) {
String testo = from+" - "+to+" - "+date+" - "+time+" - "+searchby+" - "+type+" - "+orderby;
Toast toast=Toast.makeText(this, testo, 6000);

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to connect my app to a MySQL database to retrieve data. Obviously I have to do this in a new thread hence why I chose AsyncTask, something I'm new to.
I have included Toasts to tell me if there are problems when trying to carry out any part of it. However these toasts are not showing on the UI thread. I tested this out by turning off the server my SQL database is on so that it could trip the first toast. It didn't show it though and instead it gave me a force close error. When my server is running I have no issues and although I haven't coded the bit to retrieve data yet the code below does connect to my database and at least lets me view the page "CurrentSeasonDrivers".
Here is my code and the logcat showing the errors below that:
package com.android.history;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;

All I want it to do is show a toast if the application cannot connect to the server instead of force closing.
I've been researching how to best implement a service which performs a network transaction and returns data to the caller.
Clearly, this needs to happen on its own thread which means some form of async response. I can see at least three ways of doing this--some more complex than others. In the descriptions below, C is the caller, S is the service.
1) C wraps a Handler in a Messenger object, adds this to an Intent. C then calls startService with this intent. S extends IntentService which runs the Intents received in a worker thread. S then sends a message to C via the Messenger. This has the benefit of not requiring any of the async binding process or making an IDL interface that needs to be compiled into C. This seems to be the closes to a Handler-based response mechanism of Local Services.
2) C binds to S and then uses AsyncTask<> to make a blocking call to S. S performs the network transaction and returns the data in the return value or an out parameter. This requires the async binding process, but does not require a callback function since the inter- thread communications is handled by AsyncTask<> and the worker thread is in C's context.
3) Make the function called in S be completely asynchronous. S defines two interfaces: IMyService and IMyServiceCallback. S implements IMyService.Stub. C implements IMyServiceCallback.Stub. C binds to S then calls S via IMyService, passing its IMyServiceCallback binder. S spins up a worker thread and returns immediately. S then calls the callback when it has completed the network transaction.
I am asking for advice on which methods are most appropriate. I do not need the the service running constantly, only when the web transaction is required. C does not use S all the time--definitely don't want to bind during C's onCreate. However, I would like the time from when C determines it needs to use S to getting the results back to be as quick as possible (i.e. adding minimal latency to the already latent network access).
Is there any preference to having the worker thread in C or in S? Are there any significant problems with option 1?

I am interested in swapping to Google Play Music from Spotify. However, I am yet to find an android app that allows me to remotely control playback of Play Music on my desktop.
Play Music is now available in Europe and the US and I am sure its user base is only going to grow. This, combined with the fact that there are no such apps at the moment.
Play Music has a wide range of keyboard shortcuts that can be found here. If the app is capable of sending these keyboard commands to the Play Music tab in the browser then it should be able to have quite extensive control over Play Music. Most of these remote apps require a server component installed on the target computer. I was thinking that perhaps this could be achieved via a Chrome extension so that it can remain platform independent.
this Android code worked fine before, but i'm having problems for some reason. here is the request i'm trying to make: https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/token. i'm getting 400:Bad Request as a response, and i'm not sure why. isn't this the correct URL for requesting a token? the auth token is being passed as a header in all requests now, and i can request feed list, and it works just fine, so there's nothing wrong with the auth code. what gives? in addition, i can request a token in a normal browser, like Chrome, and get a token as a response body. so the request itself is not the problem. i just can't figure out what is wrong with my requests in code...

I am working on an Android application which is supposed to play videos over HTTP on Android devices. Before we setup a server to host the video files just wanted a few things clarified: As per the developer documentation, Android supports .mp4 and .3gp container formats for video.
The audio-video codec used for our media files is H.263(video) and AAC LC (Audio). I did a little experiment and passed URL of one of the video files to the MediaPlayer class and got the following error: Command PLAYER_INIT completed with an error or info PVMFErrContentInvalidForProgressivePlayback.
From the docs, I came to know that for progressive playback, the video's index (e.g moov atom) should be at the start of the file. How do we make our videos Android-ready? What are the different considerations that we need to make?

The problem I have is in the implementation of a video streaming application. What I need to do is to stream live what I record with the androids' camera, to a remote computer. I managed to establish a connection between the mobile phone and the computer, but I do not know how to send the video.I searched through forums, and I found out that in order to send a streaming video you have you use the ParcelFileDescriptor. So I created an instance of MediaRecorder with encoding H263 and .mp4 file format, I created a Socket and then I created a new ParcelFileDescriptor connecting it with the socket. If that is correct then the android application that I created is functional.What I don't know now is what to do at the side of the computer in order to receive and view the streaming video. I tried using JMF, but it doesn't support .mp4 video files. What do you suggest me to do? Or where to look in order to find a solution?

And you can also send that video to another android device with tinyCam Monitor.But I want to stream it online so it could be accesed by remote computer! One solution is with IP Camera Adapter so you could use video from android as your webcam in skype.
But this is too complicated because you must have your computer turned on, and skype opened. Some other solutions have same problem because you must have your computer on.
I found one really difficult solution with port forwarding and you have to open host on .no-ip.biz...So, can it be done only from android phone with one or two programs.
