I am writing a syncadapter using google account and app engine. The account appears in account and sync, but when I try to select the account for syncing, I am getting a hard database error. I am trying to figure if this error is on mobile or the app engine. Further, what can be causing this error. Another error that I am getting is failed to find provider info.

I have written a SyncAdapter that takes a "com.google" account and performs a sync with an appengine web service. Testing this with the dev tools sync tester (on the emulator), this sync appears to work just fine.
The problem is, it's not syncing by default. And going to the account in "accounts & sync" shows my google account to be blank - as if there's no sync services available.
I suspect that in order to get my sync shown in the "accounts & sync" menu, I'd need to implement my own AccountAuthenticator that would do exactly the same thing as what I presume google's AccountAuthenticator must already do. This is not an exciting job, and it seems very unnecessary. So:
Is there a way to add an entry to the "accounts & sync" menu that uses my SyncAdapter but relies on a google account? or to add a sub-menu to google accounts that enables sync of my appengine service? if not,is there a way I can re-use google's AccountAuthenticator from within an AccountAuthenticator I write?
I'd like to be able to send a POST request from an Android app to App Engine and have it linked to the user's Google account.I read that you need to obtain an authentication token and send it with the POST request. Does Android provide a way to request this token?And how would GAE process it?I feel like this should be easy and I'm missing something obvious.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a project that uses Google App Engine as a server. I see that prior to the Android 2.0 SDK there was no way to directly access a user's Google Account information for the purposes of authentication. Do the new Account Manager APIs now make it possible to automatically log a user into a GAE app? Is anyone else working on something like this? Are there any publicly available examples on how to accomplish this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have spent two days trying to decide on a way to upload and download data to the Google App Engine. Do I use REST or simple HTTP post/get? Do I use JSON or XML? Do I use java or Python. I am thinking probably use python and probably use REST. But which one out there? There are so many to choose from. None seem to work out-of-the-box, but need faffing around with bits of code from here and bits of code from there. And is not clear at the outset what am taking on or what the limitations are.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to write a client application for Android that uses the Google App Engine as a database backend. My Android client would connect to the App Engine to save information, then it would connect later for reports. Is it possible to use the App Engine as a backend like this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedA REST XML (not JSON!) Web Service should exchange XML Schema specified XML between a Google App Engine and an Android app. I wanted to use XStream for both, however, I could not get it to work for the Google App Engine, therefore to me Apache XMLBeans is the next best choice (JAXB does not work on both).
However, with Google App Engine there is no problem, but on Android, I get several severe exceptions (eg. due to the usage of the Stax API with its javax.xml.* packages). So, Is there any other XML-binding possibility to stream XML documents on GAE and Android? If not, is it possible to patch Apache XMLBeans to work with Android?
I need to write an application that sends data to the Google App Engine from Android. The data that I would like to send can be described by a typical database record. Each record has some integers, strings, dates, etc. I would like to keep the connection details hidden/secured so that someone can't create false data in the datastore, if it it's not too involved. My question is: what is a good way to get this data from Android devices into the GAE datastore? If you could post a link to the appropriate Android libraries, or a link to how this has been done in the past, that would be really helpful.

The server side stuff works when i post using a form (albeit with mime data). I have allowed my android app to use internet. This is a stab in the dark but if any of you folks might have had an issue like this before perhaps the problem i am having might ring a bell

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two gmail accounts, each with their own Google Voice account. Account 1 is my primary account, and I have even ported my phone number to this account. I'm using this account on my phone (nexus 5), and have 0 issues with this account. All texts, voicemails, etc come through with no issues. Account 2 is largely not used. I would like to use account 2 on my nexus 7, for texts, and maybe making calls if I don't want to give out my real number to someone.
My issue is when I'm logged in to account 2 on my nexus 7, I'm getting text notifications for account 1 on my nexus 7. But if I were to open Google Voice on the nexus 7, once GV refreshes, the texts disappear. It doesn't happen the other way around. If I get a text/vm to account 2, it does not notify my phone, which is logged in to account 1.
I've checked the settings in both GV accounts, and neither account is linked to the other, or to send copies of texts/vm notifications to the other. How do I stop notifications from GV account 1 to stop displaying on account 2? I have cleared cache, data, uninstalled the app. The only thing i have not done, is a reset of the nexus 7.
I was initially logged in to account 1 on my nexus 7, but I would have thought removing the app from the device would have essentially erased all traces of the account 1 on the nexus 7. I even signed out of hangouts, to make sure Google was not treating this like my phone, and sending it both places.
I've implemented a SyncAdapter correctly registered through the application manifest which allows to sync contacts with our backend. The sync requests are correctly sent to the SyncAdapter but actually I have a couple of dubts:
1) How a client (the object which calls requestSync of a specific authority) can be notified about the current status of the sync request, e.g. if the request has been correctly performed, is still pending, or is aborted for any reason?
2) I saw the addStatusChangeListener method in ContentResolver class but there is no documentation about that. Can someone clarify the correct usage of this? What kind of events can I listen?
3) What is the SyncContext ??
Onother issue is that after I've added my custom account to the device I saw that when the user selects to add a contact to that account, only the name fields are present in the "new contact" activity, no phones emails etc. Can someone tell me if (and how) it is possible to show all the standard fields that are actually showed to the user, even if no accounts exist on the device?
I'm trying to use AccountManager to store account information and have implemented an authenticator, but I keep getting exceptions like the below that crash the phone. Comparing with sample code this seems to be because I don't have (or particularly want) a SyncAdapter and associated service. Is there a trick to using AccountManager without adding a SyncAdapter?
CODE:.................
What we are doing currently? We have some structured, textual data on a server which is exposed using web services(RESTful). My application polls this server regularly(AlarmManagerService) to fetch the data and save it on local database(sqlite). Also, a user is authenticated and authorized beforehand for access.
Questions: There is a SyncAdapter/AccountManager class in the SDK and I was wondering if it can be of any use in my application to achieve the syncing mentioned above? If yes, what sort of infrastructure is needed at back end to support a sync set up using this adapter? Links to articles etc. that give details of using this adapter and other info is appreciated.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI use Google hosted apps with my own domain for e-mail, calendar, chat, etc. and I use the e-mail address from that with my main Google account as well. So, both my Google account and hosted apps account use the same address. I had no problem setting up my account on my phone when I got it Friday, but I've been running into a few issues. First off, every time I try to buy an app in the Market, it asks me to set up a Google account to associate it with, even though I already have. Also, when I try to use Google Listen, it asks the same thing. Is there a way around this, or will I have to create a separate Google/GMail account?

I already linked a Google Account to the phone when I first set the phone up, so I just tried typing that into the 'sign in' option, and it looks like it's doing something for a good 3 minutes, saying "Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers to set up your account. This may take up to five minutes." Now, I would be fine with it taking 5 minutes, except it brings up a page saying "Cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server: This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisions for data services (it is, because you're required to have a data plan to activate a smartphone on Verizon)." I have a 3G signal and I'm connected to a wi-fi network as well, although I've tried it not connected to wi-fi, and still no dice.
