Android :: Writing - Reading From A File Simultaneous
Oct 27, 2010I'm trying to read from a file while it still opened for witing.

View 2 RepliesI'm writing a simple budget app for myself, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to write to internal storage. I don't seem to be writing to the file properly and I can't find any more in depth examples than the Data Storage article on developer.android.com. Basically, I'm trying to write a test float to the MyBalance file, then read it into balance. In my actual code I use try/catch statements around the file in/out operations but I skipped them to make the code more readable.
float test = 55; float balance; byte[] buffer = null;
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput( "MyBalance", Context.MODE_PRIVATE );
fos.write(Float.floatToRawIntBits(balance));
fis.read(buffer); //null pointer
ByteBuffer b = ByteBuffer.wrap(buffer);
balance=b.getFloat();
That's the gist of it, anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I went ahead and converted to/from String but I still don't think the file is being created. I have an if statement that reads from it if it exists in onResume() and it isn't being run. Lemme post some of my code. Here's how I'm writing the file, (setbal is an EditText and balanceview is a TextView):
balance = Float.valueOf(setbal.getText().toString());
balanceview.setText(setbal.getText());
balstring = String.valueOf(balance);
for (int i = 0; i < balstring.length(); ++i)
try { fos.write((byte)balstring.charAt(i));
} catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace();
}
I check if the file exists in onResume() like so:
File file = new File("data/data/com.v1nsai.mibudget/balance.txt");
Is that where an internal file for that context would be stored?
I've been looking around on the net and in this group, but i have not found any java package that can read and write EXIF data.
I tried Sanselan. They say they don't use ImageIO/AWT, but they actually do use AWT. The class can not be loaded because there is an AWT dependency:
CODE:......
What i want is not so much creating my own EXIF data, but preserving a JPEG's meta-data (EXIF). I'm planning to load a JPEG, edit its bitmap and write it out again to a(nother) JPEG with the same meta-data as its original.
I've had an inquiry about whether my Android app can interface with a serial device via USB cable. Before I invest too much time in this path, I'd like to know: Is this even possible? Some previous threads indicate Android won't do host USB. Would it require root access and/or the NDK? Would it be better to advise the potential client to look for a serial blue tooth adapter? I can see that there is a Blue tooth Sock class which may do the job.

Searching the forums I see that this is a much desired feature by many developers but I haven't seen any indication as to when (or even if) this need will be addressed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid does not provide an Exif Reader or Exif Writer in its SDK (it has a native implemenation, though, but that API is private).
The Sanselan library, however, does provide a full fledged set of functionality for reading and writing Exif metadata.
However, Sanselan pur sang cannot be included in an Android Project. It references classes and packages that do not exist under the current version of Android (e.g. ImageIO).
Therefore, I made a quick cut of Sanselan 0.97, cutting out all the classes that prevent it from being used on the Android platform. It is a quick cut and it may have some issues. However, I got its exif reading and writing to work for my application and it looks like its working quite well. Reading and writing raw image-data is, however, not possible in this cut. This has been cut out.
I try to write to a Csv file via:mFileWriter = new FileWriter("/sdcard/program/file");mCsvWriter = new CSVWriter(mFileWriter);At the moment it throws an exception that the file doesn't exist.It's true that the file doesn't exist. What's the easiest way to create the file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy application stores data locally in the native SQLite db, and I want to allow users to export this data by emailing themself a .csv file. In order to do this I'm generating the .csv from the database and writing it to the SD card, then attaching it to an email:String Builder csv = generateFile();writeFile(csv.toString(),"file.csv");Intent email = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);email.setType ("application /octet -stream"); email.putExtra(android.content.Intent. EXTRA_ STREAM, Uri.parse ("file://sdcard/file.csv")); Which all works great. What I'm wondering, though, is if it is possible to skip the step of writing to SD first, and directly attach the data.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to create byte array blocks from file whil the process was still using the file for writing. Actually I am storing video into file and I would like to create chunks from the same file while recording. The following method was supposed to read blocks of bytes from file:
private byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException{
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
long length = file.length(); int numRead = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length - mReadOffset];
numRead = is.read(bytes, mReadOffset, bytes.length - mReadOffset);
if(numRead != (bytes.length - mReadOffset)){
throw new IOException("Could not completely read file " + file.getName());
} mReadOffset += numRead; is.close(); return bytes;
}
But the problem is that all array elements are set to 0 and I guess it is because the writing process locks the file. Any other way to create file chunks while writing into file.
Can any one give the code to read and write to a file in the Android assets folder.

If i have a apk file and want to know the package name and class hierarchy, how do i do it?
Suppose I have some sample APK file named "SampApp.apk" which contains classes inside "com.android.sampApp".
Is there any tool in Android SDK which shows the package name when APK file is passed as a parameter.
As the Class files are compressed to dex file I am not able to check the actual package name.
Are any <uses-permission> clauses needed in the manifest for: 1. Writing to a file using the Activity.openFileOutput() mechanism; 2. Writing to the SD card using FileOutputStreams; 3. Sending email using the Activity.startActivity( Intent.create Chooser (...)) mechanism
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html and didn't see anything that seemed relevant. My app works on my ADP1 without any <uses-permission> clauses when installed with "adb install xyz.apk" but I was worried that it may have problems on a "real" consumer device.
I am developing an application that read data from sensors and write those data to an XML file when you press a key. i have 2 activity one for button and another is an Activity who implements sensorEventListener. the problem is my main activity is button and couldn't get data from event listener activity. i think the listener activity is not active but when i create an intent and start activity with that intent the program stop working. the button is able to create XML file solely.so how could i read sensor data from sensors,and how to send them to XML file when the button got clicks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an image on a private file.
I read the file, create the drawable, and assign it to an ImageView.
The ImageView has WRAP_CONTENT so the size is automatic.
On 320x480 screens, the image looks good
But on screens with more resolution and high density 480x800 or 480x854 (N1, droid) , when the image is for example 150x150, I see the image as 100x100.
Of course it has something to do with the density but not sure how should I resolve this.
This is my code...
if I then inspect the size of the icon, android thinks the size is 100x100, when really is 150x150.
Looks like its reducing the image by the density.
Can anybody explain this and how to avoid this.

I searched the Incredible forums and sub forums and could not find an answer to this question, though I am sure it has been asked: If I want to go from my stock 2 GB card to a new card, and I want to preserve data AND have all apps still be able to read whatever data they were reading off the card, do I just transfer the files from one card to the other? I bet the only thing I need to make sure of is that new card is formatted with the same file system as the original card, right? I know copying data from one card to the other will preserve data, but I want to make sure I have no problems with apps, either, after inserting the newer card.
