Upload recorded file to AWS S3 storage or google drive

I have created an app to record the audio in the android wear but I am not able to transfer that recorded file to mobile phone as there is no dedicated file manager in Samsung galaxy watch 4. So for that I need to upload the the recorded file to the AWS S3 STORAGE.
Here is the code for audio recording.

Kotlin Android Full Sized Camera instead of Thumbnail?

thanks for looking by! I've pretty much finished my little application i've been working on. I tried the app on my phone and found an error that I wasn't aware of when using the emulator (rookie mistake I suppose). So when the app is started the user can add like a "happy place" that looks the following:
the issue starts when the user wants to add a picture that he wants to take with the Camera itself. (That itself works). Taking the picture and also displaying it in that small box works (partly). But here is also my issue. After trying the app out on the phone i realised that the taken picture had terrible quality. I googled that issue and found out that i have used a method that only get's me the thumbnail on not the actual full sized picture. I googled more to find out how i can get that to work, unfortnunately i only found the documentation and i couldn't really figure it out either way what i had to change.
Here is my code that contains all info regarding the camera functionality:

"<App> is having trouble with Google Play Services. Please try again" while usiing Google NearBy Messages API

While using google NearBy Messages API I am getting error " is having trouble with Google Play Services. Please try again"
Please guide me for this issue.
Below is import for Google Messaging API
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-nearby:17.0.0'
Here is how I am subscribing using code
val options = SubscribeOptions.Builder()
.setStrategy(Strategy.BLE_ONLY)
.build()
Nearby.getMessagesClient(
this, MessagesOptions.Builder()
.setPermissions(NearbyPermissions.BLE)
.build())
Nearby.getMessagesClient(this).subscribe(getPendingIntent(), options)

I resolved it.
Nearby suggest using activity, on activty, the function will work better (https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/nearby/messages/MessagesClient#subscribe(android.app.PendingIntent,%20com.google.android.gms.nearby.messages.SubscribeOptions))
All of the Messages APIs should be used from a foreground Activity,
with the exception of the variants of subscribe that take a
PendingIntent parameter. Your Activity should publish(Message) or
subscribe(MessageListener) either in onStart() or in response to a
user action in a visible Activity, and you should always symmetrically
unpublish(Message) or unsubscribe(MessageListener) in onStop().
When subcribe, if using activity, it will ask to grant permission to bluetooth, location, microphone, if using service it will not ask
So if you use the service, you must combine using the activity.
When you subscribe in mainActivity, if another activity appears on top (then MainActivty will be onStop), a notification will appear.
Therefore, when subcribe, you must click OK to allow the another activity to be displayed
This is sample:
MainActivity.tk

Android app return 0 devices after scan for ble

For the past months I have been developing an app which a feature of it implements BLE connection from the app to a device. Suddenly today, after a few scans, the app returns everytime 0 device despite obtaining before like 5 or 6.
I have been thinking that it was a permission problem related with coarse location, however, the changes I made it was so little that it should not be affected, but that does not matter
As I followed the bluetooth guide that Google offers amongst other guides, this is my code:
onCreate method:
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_guide)
handler = Handler()
devicesResult = ArrayList()
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
{
// Android M Permission check
if (this.checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(this)
builder.setTitle("This app needs location access")
builder.setMessage("Please grant location access so this app can detect beacons.")
builder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null)
builder.setOnDismissListener { requestPermissions(arrayOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION), PERMISSION_REQUEST_COARSE_LOCATION) }
builder.show()
}else{
if (areLocationServicesEnabled(this))
{
if (!packageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_BLUETOOTH_LE))
{
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.ble_not_supported, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
finish()
}
bluetoothAdapter?.takeIf { it.isDisabled }?.apply {
val enableBtIntent = Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE)
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, 1)
}
//scanLeDevice(true)
}
}
}
}
onRequestPermissionsResult method:
override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(
requestCode: Int,
permissions: Array<String>, grantResults: IntArray
) {
when (requestCode) {
PERMISSION_REQUEST_COARSE_LOCATION -> {
if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
//Log.d(FragmentActivity.TAG, "coarse location permission granted")
} else {
val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(this)
builder.setTitle("Functionality limited")
builder.setMessage("Since location access has not been granted, this app will not be able to discover beacons when in the background.")
builder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null)
builder.setOnDismissListener { }
builder.show()
}
return
}
}
}
areLocationServicesEnabled method:
private fun areLocationServicesEnabled(context:Context):Boolean {
val locationManager = context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) as LocationManager
return try {
locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) || locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)
} catch (e:Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
false
}
}
onResume method:
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
if (bluetoothAdapter != null && !bluetoothAdapter!!.isEnabled)
{
val enableBtIntent = Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE)
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, 1)
}
mLEScanner = bluetoothAdapter!!.bluetoothLeScanner
scanLeDevice(true)
}
scanLeDevice method:
private fun scanLeDevice(enable:Boolean) {
if (enable)
{
handler!!.postDelayed({
mLEScanner!!.stopScan(mScanCallback)
//selectDevice()
}, SCAN_PERIOD)
mLEScanner!!.startScan(mScanCallback)
}
else
{
mLEScanner!!.stopScan(mScanCallback)
}
}
mScanCallback attribute:
private val mScanCallback = object : ScanCallback() {
override fun onScanResult(callbackType: Int, result: ScanResult) {
Log.i("callbackType", callbackType.toString())
Log.i("result", result.toString())
devicesResult!!.add(result)
}
override fun onBatchScanResults(results: List<ScanResult>) {
for (sr in results) {
Log.i("ScanResult - Results", sr.toString())
}
}
override fun onScanFailed(errorCode: Int) {
Log.e("Scan Failed", "Error Code: $errorCode")
}
}
As I said before, I expected to show and save on an Array called deviceResult every one of them, however, suddenly, no devices seems to appear after each new scan.

First of all, sorry for the big delay to answer muy question.
After trying not to use the scan more than 6 times between 30 seconds as #Emil pointed out on the last comment fo my question, I finally could make my project work, thanks #Emil.

RxAndroidBLE do not find devices on android 4.3

Hello I'm using RxAndroidBLE to detect a BLE device. On android 6 >= everything seems to work okay but not on a 4.3 device.
My app can only discover the desirable BLE device only once at start. After the device has been discovered no more new discoveries at all until I restart the app. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Below minimum (not)working code example:

Your code looks a lot like the library's sample app (version 1.5.0, branch master-rxjava1). I have checked that recently on Android 4.4.4 which is the oldest I have and it worked fine. There were no API changes between 4.3 and 4.4.
What you may be experiencing is a behaviour specific to your device (feel free to share your phone model) in which it only callbacks for the first time it scans a particular peripheral. There are some threads about this topic already like this one.
