Titanium Hyperloop access to android.os.SystemProperties - android

I have been trying a ( i hope) simple bit of Android hyperloop code directly within a titanium project (using SDK 7.0.1.GA and hyperloop 3).
var sysProp = require('android.os.SystemProperties');
var serialNumber = sysProp.get("sys.serialnumber", "none");
But when the app is run it reports
Requested module not found:android.os.SystemProperties
I think this maybe due to the fact that when compiling the app (using the cli) it reports
hyperloop:generateSources: Skipping Hyperloop wrapper generation, no usage found ...
I have similar code in a jar and if I use this then it does work, so I am wondering why the hyperloop generation is not being triggered, as I assume that is the issue.
Sorry should have explained better.
This is the jar source that I use, the extraction of the serial number was just an example (I need access to other info manufacturer specific data as well), I wanted to see if I could replicate the JAR functionality using just hyperloop rather that including the JAR file. Guess if it's not broke don't fix it, but was curious to see if it could be done.

So with the feedback from #miga and a bit of trial and error, I have come up with a solution that works really well and will do the method reflection that is required. My new Hyperloop function is
function getData(data){
var result = false;
var Class = require("java.lang.Class");
var String = require("java.lang.String");
var c = Class.forName("android.os.SystemProperties");
var get = c.getMethod("get", String.class, String.class);
result = get.invoke(c, data, "Error");
return result;
}
Where data is a string of the system property I want.
I am using it to extract and match a serial number from a Samsung device that is a System Property call "ril.serialnumber" or "sys.serialnumber". Now I can use the above function to do what I was using the JAR file for. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else needed something similar.

It is because android.os.SystemProperties is not class you can import. Check the android documentation at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/package-summary.html
You could use
var build = require('android.os.Build');
console.log(build.SERIAL);
to access the serial number.

Kotlin Mutliplatform : Maping Swift/Objc code to Kotlin in iOSMain module?

I am learning KMM. I am now designing a common Location fetching in iOSMain and Android main
My problem is , I don't know to map Swift to Kotlin in iOSMain
For example,
The Swift code for , getting location is
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
var currentLoc: CLLocation!
if(CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .authorizedWhenInUse ||
CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .authorizedAlways) {
currentLoc = locationManager.location
print(currentLoc.coordinate.latitude)
print(currentLoc.coordinate.longitude)
}
Kotlin side implementation:
In the above code:
How to use the Swift's .authorizedWhenInUse and .authorizedAlways in Kotlin Code ?
And the in currentLoc.coordinate.longitude , the longitude and latitude is not resolving . Why ?
Please help me
Mapping Swift (Objective-C) to Kotlin
How to use the Swift's .authorizedWhenInUse and .authorizedAlways in Kotlin Code ?
According to Kotlin's documentation on interoperability, Kotlin/Native provides bidirectional interoperability with Objective-C, not Swift, so my first recommendation would be to reference Apple's Objective-C documentation over the Swift documentation.
If you pull up the Swift documentation for .authorizedWhenInUse, you'll see you can switch the language to Objective-C:
Switch this to the Objective-C documentation to see how to reference this in Objective-C:
Given this, you should be able to use kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse in your Kotlin code.
Referencing iOS Frameworks
Since you already have some reference code, you could also simply Command+Click (or Command+B) one of the objects (for example, CLLocationManager) which should open up the compiled Kotlin code.
Manually you can also access all iOS frameworks from the "Project" View of Android Studio → "External Libraries" and then search for the iOS framework that you are searching for.
Here, you can dig through the frameworks to find what you're looking for. Not knowing the equivalent Objective-C API, you could just search for "authorizedWhenInUse" and can find it:
Dealing with C-structs
currentLoc.coordinate.longitude , the longitude and latitude is not resolving
This is more complicated...
The location property is of type CLLocationCoordinate2D and (the important part!) is that it is contained within a CValue:
#kotlinx.cinterop.ExternalObjCClass public open class CLLocation : platform.darwin.NSObject, platform.Foundation.NSCopyingProtocol, platform.Foundation.NSSecureCodingProtocol {
...
public final val coordinate: kotlinx.cinterop.CValue<platform.CoreLocation.CLLocationCoordinate2D> /* compiled code */
Note that in Objective-C, CLLocationCoordinate2D is a C struct:
typedef struct CLLocationCoordinate2D {
...
} CLLocationCoordinate2D;
The Kotlin documentation here is thin, but it shows the methods available for CValue includes the .useContents() method.
Therefore, your code could be written as follows (compiled and confirmed that this runs and generates a location on a physical device):
val locationManager = CLLocationManager()
val currentLoc: CLLocation?
if (locationManager.authorizationStatus == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse ||
locationManager.authorizationStatus == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedAlways) {
currentLoc = locationManager.location
currentLoc?.coordinate?.useContents {
println("latitude = ${latitude}")
println("longitude = ${longitude}")
}
}

If you want to dig deeper, I also published a blog post on writing iOS-platform-dependent code using Kotlin with KMM's expect/actual: artandscienceofcoding.com/science/avoid-this-kmm-technique

C++ Builder WSDL client for Android

I'm having a confusing problem. I'm trying to make a Web cleint that uses WSDL.
I'm using C++ RAD Studio 10 Seattle, but the same problem occured in RAD Studio XE8(older version).
1.I create a Multi-Device Application, add one Edit component and one Button.
2.I create a WSDL Importer by changing the location of the WSDL file to : "http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL" and leave all other setting to default.
3.On ButtonClick event of the button I write two lines of code :
_di_TempConvertSoap Converter = GetTempConvertSoap(true,
"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL");
Edit1->Text = Converter->CelsiusToFahrenheit("32");
So after these three steps I have one unit, which is the main Unit with the Form and with the button event. And one file "tempconvert.cpp" that the WSDL Importer has generated. It quite actually just translates the WSDL code to a C++ one and defines the method to communicate with the server. In my case I have two methods : FahrenheitToCelsius() and CelsiusToFahrenheit(), in the example I use CelsiusToFahrenheit().
I compile it to 32-bit Windows platform, run it and when I click the button, the result "89.6" appears in the text of the Edit component. So this is working as expected.
But when I change the target platform to "Android" and use my mobile phone "Samsung GT-I8262" with Android 4.1.2 and run the project, it just stops and exits. I debugged the problem and it stops at the first command in "tempconvert.cpp" in RegTypes() method.
// ************************************************************************
//
// This routine registers the interfaces and types exposed by the WebService.
// ************************************************************************ //
static void RegTypes()
{
/* TempConvertSoap */
InvRegistry()->RegisterInterface(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), L"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/", L"utf-8");
InvRegistry()->RegisterDefaultSOAPAction(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), L"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/%operationName%");
InvRegistry()->RegisterInvokeOptions(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), ioDocument);
/* TempConvertSoap.FahrenheitToCelsius */
InvRegistry()->RegisterMethodInfo(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), "FahrenheitToCelsius", "",
"[ReturnName='FahrenheitToCelsiusResult']", IS_OPTN);
/* TempConvertSoap.CelsiusToFahrenheit */
InvRegistry()->RegisterMethodInfo(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), "CelsiusToFahrenheit", "",
"[ReturnName='CelsiusToFahrenheitResult']", IS_OPTN);
/* TempConvertHttpPost */
InvRegistry()->RegisterInterface(__delphirtti(TempConvertHttpPost), L"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/", L"utf-8");
InvRegistry()->RegisterDefaultSOAPAction(__delphirtti(TempConvertHttpPost), L"");
}
#pragma startup RegTypes 32
Does someone have any idea why this might be happening? I tried on two other Samsung phones and it didn't work. The error that shuts the program down is "Segmentation fault(11)", and more precisely it stops at the following line of code in "System.pas" file :
u_strFromUTF8(PUChar(Dest), MaxDestChars, DestLen, MarshaledAString(Source), SourceBytes, ErrorConv);
Here is some info that I've found about the function:
u_strFromUTF8 - function that converts a UTF-8 string to UTF-16.
UCHAR is a Byte(in Delphi), so PUCHAR is a pointer to Byte.
I cannot se what could possibly go wrong with this function which apparently only converts a string.
So my question is why does the project work on Windows 32 bit version, but on Android it throws Segmentation fault(11)?
I hope I could find a solution for this problem. I will keep looking.
Thank you,
Zdravko Donev :)
UPDATE:
I disassembled the line:
InvRegistry()->RegisterInterface(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), L"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/", L"utf-16");
to get :
TInvokableClassRegistry *Class = InvRegistry();
TTypeInfo *Info = __delphirtti(TempConvertSoap);
UnicodeString Namespace = "http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/";
UnicodeString WSDLEncoding = "utf-8";
Class->RegisterInterface(Info, Namespace, WSDLEncoding);
And I saw that the problem occurs when calling InvRegistry() function, but I still haven't found the problem as I cannot reach the source code of the function.
I found a solution.
I deleted the line
#pragma startup RegTypes 32
and called the method RegTypes() on my own when I create the form and it worked.

error with pymtp to work on python 3

I want to access a android device from python to download some photos.
libmtp works from the CLI.
Than pymtp. It's been around for a while but it's designed for python 2 and i'm using python 3. Meanwhile fixed several minor issues but i'm stuck at an error from function get_filelisting
specially this section:
ret = []
next = files
while next:
ret.append(next.contents)
if (next(next.contents) is None):
break
next = next(next.contents)
The error is related to the "next".
That section looks strange to me, i've been coding in python for a while but i'm new to ctypes. Tried a lot of variants, they all failed. The "next" could be confusing with python buildin function so i renamed it to nextpointer and came to this code:
ret = []
nextpointer = files
while nextpointer:
ret.append(nextpointer.contents)
nextpointer = nextpointer.contents.next
It seems to work but did it work by accident ? does it have any design flaws ? Could anyone with experience on python ctypes confirm this a solution ? Any suggestion welcome.
From python2.7 documentation
next(iterator[, default])
Retrieve the next item from the iterator by calling its next() method. If default is given, it is returned if the iterator is
exhausted, otherwise StopIteration is raised.
from python3 documentation
next(iterator[, default])
Retrieve the next item from the iterator by calling its __next__() method. If default is given, it is returned if the iterator is
exhausted, otherwise StopIteration is raised.
Notice that next() method was removed from python3 but the function still exists.
This is all I can say about the next function and .next()/__next__() methods.
I downloaded the pymtp module and get_filelisting() is slightly different from what you posted in your ported code, here it is:
ret = []
next = files
while next:
ret.append(next.contents)
if (next.contents.next == None):
break
next = next.contents.next
If none of this helped you (which probably didn't :D), the version of pymtp library that I am using is 0.0.6 download using pip.

Using PeerConnection.createDataChannel() in Android

I have built webrtc for android and have included the jar file in my project. I want to attach data channel to my PeerConnection object. On web, we do following in javascript :
sendChannel = pc.createDataChannel("sendDataChannel", {reliable: true});
or
sendChannel = pc.createDataChannel("sendDataChannel", {reliable: false});
where pc is the PeerConnection.
I want to do same in Java on Android using native webrtc code. I have little confusion. By looking at Jar file on eclipse, I could see that createDataChannel method of PeerConnection takes two arguments of type String and Init.
PeerConnection.createDataChannel(String, Init)
I could not understand what should I put in the second argument. WebRTC documentation, I found, is for web applications. I have seen the following WebRTC draft document but could not understand clearly.
http://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/#methods-2
It would be helpful if someone can provide a small example of how it should be used.
Currently, I am trying to do this:
DataChannel dc = this.pc.createDataChannel("sendDataChannel", new DataChannel.Init());
You'd create the Init instance and manipulate the public properties before passing it to createDataChannel:
https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/trunk/talk/app/webrtc/java/src/org/webrtc/DataChannel.java#35
If you did not find "reliable" there, that is because this does not work anymore. See maxRetransmits and maxRetransmitTimeMs.
Try to make a new Init and assign it a id if you want otherwise just pass new Init() in second argument it will work.

android crypto implementation android 4.3

I am referring "Android crypto implementation" document. w.r.t Android 4.3 source.
In point 2 it says The framework starts up, and sees that vold.decrypt is set to "1"
But I am not able to locate the code that does things mentioned in point 2. Is anybody able to locate it? Is it somewhere related to class BackupRestoreConfirmation?
Just a simple git grep will get the all the reference to this property:
cmds/bootanimation/BootAnimation.cpp:276: property_get("vold.decrypt", decrypt, "");
services/java/com/android/server/DevicePolicyManagerService.java:1869: String state = SystemProperties.get("vold.decrypt");
services/java/com/android/server/SystemServer.java:239: String cryptState = SystemProperties.get("vold.decrypt");
services/java/com/android/server/usb/UsbDeviceManager.java:173: boolean dataEncrypted = "1".equals(SystemProperties.get("vold.decrypt"));
And I think the one you need is in DevicePolicyManagerService.java or SystemServer.java
