Android 7 JobScheduler get event when new picture is taken by the camera

I have a problem on Android 7 that not support the broadcast event "android.hardware.action.NEW_PICTURE" longer. I write now for Android 7 a JobService but it will not fire when a Picture is shot by the internal camera.
I don't know what is the problem, can everybody help me.
If any example source in the www that's for Android 7 and JobService for the replacement the broadcast "android.hardware.action.NEW_PICTURE" .
Thanks for help !
Here is my example Code:
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public class ZNJobService extends JobService {
private static Zlog log = new Zlog(ZNJobService.class.getName());
static final Uri MEDIA_URI = Uri.parse("content://" + MediaStore.AUTHORITY + "/");
static final int ZNJOBSERVICE_JOB_ID = 777;
static JobInfo JOB_INFO;
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
public static boolean isRegistered(Context pContext){
JobScheduler js = pContext.getSystemService(JobScheduler.class);
List<JobInfo> jobs = js.getAllPendingJobs();
if (jobs == null) {
log.INFO("ZNJobService not registered ");
return false;
}
for (int i = 0; i < jobs.size(); i++) {
if (jobs.get(i).getId() == ZNJOBSERVICE_JOB_ID) {
log.INFO("ZNJobService is registered :-)");
return true;
}
}
log.INFO("ZNJobService is not registered");
return false;
}
public static void registerJob(Context pContext){
Log.i("ZNJobService","ZNJobService init");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N ) {
if (! isRegistered(pContext)) {
Log.i("ZNJobService", "JobBuilder executes");
log.INFO("JobBuilder executes");
JobInfo.Builder builder = new JobInfo.Builder(ZNJOBSERVICE_JOB_ID, new ComponentName(pContext, ZNJobService.class.getName()));
// Look for specific changes to images in the provider.
builder.addTriggerContentUri(new JobInfo.TriggerContentUri(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
JobInfo.TriggerContentUri.FLAG_NOTIFY_FOR_DESCENDANTS));
// Also look for general reports of changes in the overall provider.
//builder.addTriggerContentUri(new JobInfo.TriggerContentUri(MEDIA_URI, 0));
JOB_INFO = builder.build();
log.INFO("JOB_INFO created");
JobScheduler scheduler = (JobScheduler) pContext.getSystemService(Context.JOB_SCHEDULER_SERVICE);
int result = scheduler.schedule(JOB_INFO);
if (result == JobScheduler.RESULT_SUCCESS) {
log.INFO(" JobScheduler OK");
} else {
log.ERROR(" JobScheduler fails");
}
}
} else {
JOB_INFO = null;
}
}
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
#Override
public boolean onStartJob(JobParameters params) {
log.INFO("onStartJob");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
if (params.getJobId() == ZNJOBSERVICE_JOB_ID) {
if (params.getTriggeredContentAuthorities() != null) {
for (Uri uri : params.getTriggeredContentUris()) {
log.INFO("JobService Uri=%s",uri.toString());
}
}
}
}
this.jobFinished(params,false);
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters params) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
log.INFO("onStopJob");
}
return true;
}
}

In the below code you can pass the flag immediate as false for normal operation (i.e. schedule within system guidelines for an app's good behaviour). When your app's main activity starts you can pass immediate as true to force a quick retrieval of media content changes.
You should run code in the onStartJob() method in a background job. (As shown below.)
If you only want to receive media from the camera and not other sources you should just filter out URI's based on their path. So only include "*/DCIM/*". (I haven't put this in the below code though.)
Also the Android job scheduler has a policy where it denies your service if it detects over abuse. Maybe your tests have caused this in your app, so just uninstall and reinstall to reset it.
public class ZNJobService extends JobService {
//...
final Handler workHandler = new Handler();
Runnable workRunnable;
//...
public static void registerJob(Context context, boolean immediate) {
final JobInfo jobInfo = createJobInfo(context, immediate);
final JobScheduler js = context.getSystemService(JobScheduler.class);
final int result = js.schedule(jobInfo);
if (result == JobScheduler.RESULT_SUCCESS) {
log.INFO(" JobScheduler OK");
} else {
log.ERROR(" JobScheduler fails");
}
}
private static JobInfo createJobInfo(Context context, boolean immediate) {
final JobInfo.Builder b =
new JobInfo.Builder(
ZNJOBSERVICE_JOB_ID, new ComponentName(context, ZNJobService.class));
// Look for specific changes to images in the provider.
b.addTriggerContentUri(
new JobInfo.TriggerContentUri(
MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
JobInfo.TriggerContentUri.FLAG_NOTIFY_FOR_DESCENDANTS));
b.addTriggerContentUri(
new JobInfo.TriggerContentUri(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
JobInfo.TriggerContentUri.FLAG_NOTIFY_FOR_DESCENDANTS));
if (immediate) {
// Get all media changes within a tenth of a second.
b.setTriggerContentUpdateDelay(1);
b.setTriggerContentMaxDelay(100);
} else {
// Wait at least 15 minutes before checking content changes.
// (Change this as necessary.)
b.setTriggerContentUpdateDelay(15 * 60 * 1000);
// No longer than 2 hours for content changes.
// (Change this as necessary.)
b.setTriggerContentMaxDelay(2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
}
return b.build();
}
#Override
public boolean onStartJob(final JobParameters params) {
log.INFO("onStartJob");
if (params.getTriggeredContentAuthorities() != null && params.getTriggeredContentUris() != null) {
// Process changes to media content in a background thread.
workRunnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
yourMethod(params.getTriggeredContentUris());
// Reschedule manually. (The 'immediate' flag might have changed.)
jobFinished(params, /*reschedule*/false);
scheduleJob(ZNJobService.this, /*immediate*/false);
}};
Postal.ensurePost(workHandler, workRunnable);
return true;
}
// Only reschedule the job.

using text to speech in an android class

I am new in java and android. I need to use text to speech in a class not in the activity, is it possible? if yes, how can I do it? I just found good tutorials which it was done in an activity.
Thank you!

I know this is rather late but if your still stumped (hopefully not); or for the purposes of anyone else with the same/similar question.
An stand alone class is pretty simple to do.
It needs context and if you want to pass it an message. Pass both in the constructor.
So you end up with something, which looks like this.
public class MyTTS {
private Context context;
private TextToSpeech tts;
private String txt;
private String TAG = MyTTS.class.getSimpleName();
public MyTTS(Context context, String txt) {
this.context = context;
this.txt = txt;
handleSpeech();
}
private void handleSpeech() {
tts = new TextToSpeech(context, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
#Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH);
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA || result == TextTo
Speech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
Log.e(TAG, "This Language is not supported");
} else {
saySomeThing();
}
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Initialization Failed!");
}
}
});
}
private void saySomeThing() {
if((txt != null) && (txt.length() > 0)) {
tts.speak(txt, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
else {
tts.shutdown();
}
}
To execute it:
new MyTTS(context, message);

NFC tag(for NfcA) scan works only from the second time

I wrote a custom plugin to read blocks of data from an NfcA(i.e.non-ndef) tag. It seems to work fine , but only after the second scan. I am using Activity intent to derive the "NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG" to later use it for reading the values. I am also updating the Intents in onNewIntent(). OnNewIntent gets called after the second scan and after that I get result all the time.But in the first scan onNewIntent does not gets called, hence I end up using the Activity tag that does not have "NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG", hence I get null. Please see the my code below.
SE_NfcA.java(my native code for plugin)
#Override
public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
String Result = "";
String TypeOfTalking = "";
if (action.contains("TalkToNFC"))

cordova.exec(function(result){alert("Result is : "+result);},
function(error){alert("Some Error happened : "+ error);},
"SE_NfcA","TalkToNFC",[{"type": natureOfTalk}]);
};
I guess I have messed up with the Intents/Activity Life-Cycle, please help. TIA!

I found a tweak/hack and made it to work.
Before making any call to read or write, I made one dummy Initialize call.
window.echo("Initialize");
window.echo("readBlock#88");//call to plugin to read.
And in the native code of the plugin, on receiving the "Initialize" token I made a startNFC() call.
else if(TypeOfTalking.equalsIgnoreCase("Initialize"))
{
startNfc();
}

Android - Cannot make a static reference to a non static method

I refactoring my threads in order to avoid memory leaks, and I got 2 errors regarding handler and startActivityForResult being called from within the thread ( dealing with GoogleDrive)
I have in my DownloadActivity :
public class DownloadActivity extends Activity {
....
private void getFolderId(){
getFolderIdThread = new GetFolderIdThread();
getFolderIdThread.start();
}
private static class GetFolderIdThread extends Thread {
private Boolean mRunning = false;
#Override
public void run() {
mRunning = true;
fResultList = new ArrayList<File>();
Files f1 = mService.files();
Files.List request = null;
aFolderId = null;
do {
try {
request = f1.list();
String aQuery = "'root' in parents and mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.folder' and title='"+ aFolderName + "'";
request.setQ(aQuery);
FileList fileList = request.execute();
fResultList.addAll(fileList.getItems());
request.setPageToken(fileList.getNextPageToken());
} catch (UserRecoverableAuthIOException e) {
startActivityForResult(e.getIntent(), REQUEST_AUTHORIZATION); <= THIS RAISES THE ERROR
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
if (request != null){
request.setPageToken(null);
}
}
} while (request.getPageToken() !=null && request.getPageToken().length() > 0);
if (fResultList.size() == 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "cannot find the training folder at root level");
Message msg = handler.obtainMessage(); <= THIS RAISES THE ERROR
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putInt("msgKey", DownloadActivity.NO_TRAININGS_FOLDER);
msg.setData(bundle);
handler.sendMessage(msg); <= THIS RAISES THE ERROR
} else {
File folder = fResultList.get(0);
aFolderId = folder.getId();
getFolderContents(); <= THIS RAISES THE ERROR
}
}
public void close() {
mRunning = false;
}
}
I have the handler defined in my activity
Handler handler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
...
}
}
and the onActivityResult
protected void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int resultCode, final Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_ACCOUNT_PICKER:
....
break;
}
}
what are my options to bypass this error ?

Your GetFolderIdThread class is static and a static nested class cannot reference non-static methods and fields in the instance of the outer class that created it. Such a nested class can only access static methods and fields in your Activity. Remove static from the class definition and I think your problem will resolve.
You also need to post your call to startActivityForResult on the UI thread. Of course you should be able to use your handler for that, something like:
handler.post(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
startActivityForResult(e.getIntent(), REQUEST_AUTHORIZATION);
}
});
Make sure your thread can gracefully complete as well when you do that because it will continue to run.

How to integrate SIP into Android?

How to implement SIP protocol in Android ?
there is any SDK or library available to implement it easily into Android?

Here is a third party Library with sample code. You can use this, I have used it and it works fine.

Android 2.3 or higher provides API for SIP.
Refer this link for SIP in Android
also you can see DEMO project for SIP from Sample
update:
Android SDK Samples on github.
SipDemo1, SipDemo2

Search for SipDemo project in samples for android 4.0.3 SDK version(API level -15)

I have been investigated this sort of problem for a long time and found out that SipManager and SipProfile are unfortunatelly poor and extremelly buggy.
So I found a Linphone library. There is a link for their wiki. I implemented it in my project using maven:
repositories {
...
maven { "https://linphone.org/maven_repository/"}
}
Also there is a sample of using it on gitlab: link here, it's pretty fresh, for now :)
If the link would crash, I just copy/paste the most important part of how to use linphone's core:
public class LinphoneService extends Service {
private static final String START_LINPHONE_LOGS = " ==== Device information dump ====";
// Keep a static reference to the Service so we can access it from anywhere in the app

I hope, that will help somebody, because I spend a lot of time trying to find it!

I used by this library:
https://www.mizu-voip.com/Software/SIPSDK/AndroidSIPSDK.aspx
it is very easy.
also i add button for answer the call:
mysipclient.Accept(mysipclient.GetLine());
