Currently in .../external/ppp/pppd/auth.c, function check_passwd, somebody write
{ #if 1 return UPAP_AUTHNAK; #else .....
This basically means PAP auth is not allowed on android. Is there any reason behind this? Can I savely change the #if 1 to #if 0?

I have a Web View. I'd like to show some page from my server, but I require some basic authentication. Is there a way I can specify basic auth credentials when calling Web View.load Data() somehow? I can do this on i phone with the equivalent web view class, thinking maybe same is possible with android?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a WebView in my layout which I want to display a web page in. However the webpage requires Basic Authentication.
If I try to access this web page in the normal android browser, I get prompted for a username and password which then gets remembered and works for the site in future.
I want to do the same thing in my application, but when I load the page into the webview it just comes straigt up with the Unauthorized message without prompting.
I guess the prompting for Authentication is written in code in the android browser. Does anyone know how to inject a username and password into the WebView?
I have done a search arond and found the setHttpAuthUsernamePassword (String host, String realm, String username, String password) Method, But can't seem to get it to work and I can't find anyone else who has either? Not sure if I am giving it the correct parameters as I'm a little confused by what is means as the Realm?
I assumed that if the site was myhost.dyndns.org then the hostname would be myhost and the realm would be dyndns.org? This didn't seem to work. I also tried connecting by IP Address but that makes the Realm setting even more confusing? Any ideas on how I can get this working?
I am trying to access flickr services from android, to get the full permissions , first of all i fetched forbs using flickr.auth.getFrob method by integrating & converting in MD5
secret + 'api_key' + [api_key] +
'method' + 'flickr.auth.getFrob'
I successfully got the frob , but the problem came when i request a authorized token by integrating & converting in MD5
secret + 'api_key' + [api_key] +
'frob' + [frob] + 'method' +
'flickr.auth.getToken'
but unfortunately i am getting invalid frob , i don't why whats the problem.
I'm wondering how to use the GData APIs without requiring the user to type their username and password in my app. The user has to login to the phone, so it doesn't make much sense to me that apps would require them to type it in again. The phone's calendar and Gmail apps obviously don't prompt so how is it done?
I found some threads on this which indicate this isn't possible, but they are pretty old and I was wondering if there is any new information (i.e., given that we have a new SDK version 1.1).
I have an android app I want to connect to a Google App Engine based server. I can get the auth token from the AccountManager. It seems the next thing I am supposed to do is talk to an auth page to get a cookie. Following the awesome instructions here: http://blog.notdot.net/2010/05/Authenticating-against-App-Engine-from-an-Android-app
I think my url should be:
https://MYAPP.appspot.com/_ah/login?continue=http://localhost/&auth=CrAZYl000ngToken
but rather than a redirect, I get a 500 server error:
Error: Server Error
The server encountered an error and could not complete your request. If the problem persists, please report your problem and mention this error message and the query that caused it. What's up with that? What is the URL I am supposed to be going to? Or maybe I'm doing something else wrong?
I just found out from mobile Defense that the Android OS will not let this app or any of these type apps work as intended, i.e. the OS does not allow the GPS or Data or WiFi to be turned on remotely if off. Kind of kills the whole idea of having these apps, anyone know of a non root work around as the cellular south HTC Hero cannot be rooted without major issues?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI get an apk file from somewhere. I tried to install it the emulator successfully. (The emulator is built from the latest code in AOSP which should be cupcake or later). But I can't launch the application from the GUI. It complains "The application xxx has stopped unexpectedly." After checking the logcat, I find the message "access to class not allowed". It seems that that process is not allowed to instantiate the Activity class.
Since I can install the apk successfully, I am curious why I can't launch it as a user.
BTW, I tried two ways to install the app. 1) by copying it to /system/ app and rebuild the system.img 2) by using "adb install". Both getting the same error message.
I tried to extract the AndroidManifest.xml file from the apk. But it seems that the file is scrambled and can't read.
I'm the lead developer of TotalCross, a virtual machine that's just like the one used in Android, and targetted for small devices. Currently, using TotalCross, you write programs completely cross- platform among Palm OS 5, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows 32, Windows CE (2,3,4,5,6) and Java-enabled platforms.
We plan to port TotalCross to Android, but i'm concerned about the legal way. I'm aware that there may be hack C APIs for Android, but will these APIs allow the users to sell their applications in a legal fashion?
Btw, what is legal and what's not legal in Android? I could easily port our VM to Android if there were a standard C api on it. However, all i see is Java APIs. I could also port TotalCross to run over the Java API, but i'm concerned about speed. I believe our VM is faster than the one in Android (actually, it is a couple times faster than the BlackBerry VM).
I have a scenario where I need to control how many retries are allowed per hour for data connection establishment in case of failure? How can this be achieved? There is something like nextReconnectDelay in GsmDataConnectionTracker.java, but can't figure out how to reconfigure this so as to reduce number of reconnection attempts? Also is there any settings so that after n retries of failed 3G data call, Android waits for x hours to initiate next connection.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGoogle applications do it, and apparently it used to be part of the public API (via android.os.SystemProperties.) How are we supposed to enable/disable sync on the phone? Disabling/enabling roaming is easy, but I'm beating my head against the wall trying to find a non-hack method for disabling auto-sync (much less the granularity that would actually be nice.) Is this intentional by the framework team? Is it a whoopsie that is planned to be changed later?
