How to navigate in Google VR view?

How to navigate in Google VR view? - android

I am writing an android app using VrPanoramaView
I know there are two ways to navigate in VR apps
Use the single button on the cardboard as a click
Treat looking at something for a long period of time as a click
How can i implement navigation using one of these so that if user clicks button panoview will skip to the next picture?
Below is the sample Vr PanoramaView code
**
* A basic PanoWidget Activity to load panorama images from disk. It will load a test image by
* default. It can also load an arbitrary image from disk using:
* adb shell am start -a "android.intent.action.VIEW" \
* -n "com.google.vr.sdk.samples.simplepanowidget/.SimpleVrPanoramaActivity" \
* -d "/sdcard/FILENAME.JPG"
*
* To load stereo images, "--ei inputType 2" can be used to pass in an integer extra which will set
* VrPanoramaView.Options.inputType.

You need to declare Sensors
private SensorManager mSensorManager;
private OrientationSensor mOrientationSensor;
mSensorManager = (SensorManager) this.getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
mOrientationSensor = new OrientationSensor(this, mSensorManager, OrientationSensor.MODE_LOOK_THROUGH);
Make your activity or fragment implements SensorEventListener
Create vector to retreive rotation values
private float[] mHeadRotation = new float[2];
In onSensorChanged
#Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent sensorEvent) {
mUiPanoWidgetView.getHeadRotation(mHeadRotation);
updateReticule();
}
Do what you want depending on where you are on picture. Example:
private void updateReticule() {
if(mHeadRotation[1] > -20 && mHeadRotation[1] < 20 && mHeadRotation[0] > -15 && mHeadRotation[0] < 15){
showButton();
} else {
showReticule();
}
}
showButton() can show or hide an arrow (ImageButton) in the center of the screen. Then you set an OnClickListener on the arrow. If users click, then you can go to next picture.
Hope it will help you :)

Unable to read FNC1 character at the first position of a GS1 128 Barcode using Zbar library?

I have developed an application for barcode decoding in android using Google vision Library for GS1 data matrix and Zbar Library for GS1 128 barcode Unable to read FNC1 character at the first position of a GS1 128 Barcode using Zbar library.
The Zbar library is unable to display any sign of FNC1 character at the start of the Barcode!
Any Solutions. . . .

When scanning a GS1-128 symbol the FNC1 in first position acts as a flag character to indicate the presence of GS1 Application Identifier standard format data and is intentionally omitted from the scanned data, whilst any inter-field FNC1 formatting character is transmitted at GS (ASCII 29).
The implicit, leading FNC1 can be inferred if your reader is configured to emit symbology identifiers at the start of the scanned data. In this case your GS1-128 scanned data will begin with ]C1 rather than ]C0 for generic Code 128.
Unfortunately it does not appear as though either the ZBar library or Google Vision Library can be configured to return symbology identifiers which is a disappointing limitation.
Additionally the Google Vision Library erroneously returns a leading GS1 representing the FNC1 in first position.
Reading of GS1 formatted data is described in detail by this answer.
Specifically the ISO/IEC 15417 - Code 128 bar code symbology specification says:
"Any application which utilizes Code
128 symbols with FNC1 in the first or second data position should
require the transmission of symbology identifiers to be enabled. When
FNC1 is used in the first or second position it shall not be
represented in the transmitted message, although its presence is
indicated by the use of modifier values 1 or 2 respectively in the
symbology identifier."

Youtube video play with android player

How will we play youtube video with android media player???
Anybody has idea then please explain me.
I have to play the URL:"http://www.youtube.com/embed/bIPcobKMB94?autoplay=1" with android default media player.
When i played this url with android media player, i got MediaPlayer error (1, -2147483648).
I play that url in my android device media player but now i am not able play in tablet. Anybody help me. Why i am not able to play that video in tablet?
rtsp://v6.cache3.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQnokCRYfXXPsBMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp
Thanks

Well, the Android part is quite easy. You just need a raw URI of the YouTube video and trigger an intent with it:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://<link-to-RAW-youtube-video>"); // i.e. mp4 version
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "video/*"); // important! otherwise you just download the video
startActivity(intent); // called directly from an other activity as you see
If the user has multiple video players installed the user also gets a choice which one he wants to use for the playback.
The tricky part here is not Android related it is how to get the raw URI of a YouTube video. Usually they are extracted from the source code of the original YouTube Video page but that's an other topic. I tried the code above with a self extracted URI to a mp4 version of the video and it worked just fine on my Android 4.0 phone.
EDIT:
You really have to use a raw URI to the YouTube Video, for your Video it would be:
http://o-o.preferred.ber01s04.v22.lscache2.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?sparams=cp%2Cid%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Cratebypass%2Csource%2Cexpire&fexp=904550%2C919700%2C911614&itag=18&ip=77.0.0.0&signature=C721CE7543081FC0C805C86F5D3C4D9B34D77764.D4288106CF7A3153FF1574F2334161CBD1176535&sver=3&ratebypass=yes&source=youtube&expire=1332001847&key=yt1&ipbits=8&cp=U0hSR1BLT19JUUNOMl9IRVNJOmllRjJJYy1SSG92&id=6c83dca1b28c07de&title=AT%26T%20Samsung%20Captivate%20TV%20Commercial%20-%20Galaxy%20S%20Phone-360p
It's very long but it will work :)

I had a very hard time implementing a player supporting many features and formats. Even VideoView didn't match all of my needs. Finally, I ended up writting my own solution based on SurfaceView and MediaPlayer. Here is the source code. It was validated on 4.0.3 and 4.1.2 for local 3gp, local mp4, http 3gp and youtube rtsp streams.
Remember that, presently, an URI for valid youtube video on android is to be like this: rtsp://v5.cache1.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQnhycnrJQ8qmRMYESARFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYPj_hYjnq6uUTQw=/0/0/0/video.3gp. You get them via http://m.youtube.video.
The activity's arguments are set by Intent. There are quite a variety of options. See the last source code provided in my comment. You can remove the code related to Sequencer, Scenario and Test classes. They are specific to my program (automated system for platform testing)

Need Help in Downloading in Background Images in Android?

I have an image view , i had written swiping , at that time of swiping,the images are downloading from Internet, so i thought i have to download the images in the background before swiping , for that which i need to use asynctask or Service or IntentService, all these will help in downloading and storing in data/data/mypackages , but still swiping gets slow in my case any idea, also convey me which one is best one, is it i'm calling in a right way
1. asynctask
2. services
3. Intent Service as shown below,
i m confused which one is right method because still my problem not solved
Here's asynctask code sample snippet
public class Demo extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
new FirstTask().execute(); // calling Asynctask here
}
}
Async Task code
private class FirstTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(Catalogue.this);
int temp = 0;
// can use UI thread here
protected void onPreExecute() {
this.dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
this.dialog.setCancelable(false);
//this.dialog.show();
System.gc();
Toast.makeText(Catalogue.this, "My Async Created",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
Looper.prepare();
try {
myddownloadmethod();// calling my download method
} catch (Exception e) {
Util.trace("Error in Async"+e.getMessage());
}
Looper.loop();
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
if (this.dialog.isShowing()) {
Toast.makeText(Catalogue.this, "My Async destroyed",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Toast.makeText(Catalogue.this, "count" + temp,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
this.dialog.dismiss();
}
}
}
Here's My Service sinppet
public class MyService extends Service implements Runnable
{ #Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Thread mythread = new Thread(this);
mythread.start();
}
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
try {
myddownloadmethod();// calling my download method
} catch (Exception e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Looper.loop();
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
Invoking Service
public class ServicesDemo extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
}
}
Here's IntentService Code
public class Downloader extends IntentService {
public Downloader() {
super("Downloader");
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onHandleIntent(Intent i) {
try {
myddownloadmethod();// calling my download method
} catch (Exception e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("Error",e1.getMessage());
}
}
}
Calling IntentService from MyActivity
public class ServicesDemo extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent i1=new Intent(this, Downloader.class);
startService(i1);
}
}

The best way to download it using the service like i have done to download the file from server and put in SD card also use the notification for it.
It is quite long code but i think the perfect one,if did not understand any thing then please go to android developer blog for services.

For anyone running into this question later, take a look at the async download mechanism used in the android sample code for the project com.example.android.bitmapfun.ui.ImageGridActivity. It downloads images asynchronously and also caches them for offline display in an ImageView. Folks have wrapped their code around this one and made image loading libraries of their own. These libraries use an AsyncTask instead of a service. Async tasks are expected to wrap up their work within a couple of seconds.
If you are looking to download something larger, I'd recommend the DownloadManager that is available since API 9 instead of using services. There is a lot of code in there that adds resilience to the download.
The download manager is a system service that handles long-running HTTP downloads. Clients may request that a URI be downloaded to a particular destination file. The download manager will conduct the download in the background, taking care of HTTP interactions and retrying downloads after failures or across connectivity changes and system reboots. Instances of this class should be obtained through getSystemService(String) by passing DOWNLOAD_SERVICE. Apps that request downloads through this API should register a broadcast receiver for ACTION_NOTIFICATION_CLICKED to appropriately handle when the user clicks on a running download in a notification or from the downloads UI. Note that the application must have the INTERNET permission to use this class.

You are probably over engineering this. I have implemented swiping with dynamically loading images and I just a use a simple utility class that does it all for me via static method call.
Try this class:

This is all you need. Then when you need to load an image, you call:
fetchDrawableOnThread("http://path/to/your/image.jpg", yourImageViewReference);
That's it.
If you have an URL from a JSON object, parse the URL into your string so:
String url = jsonObj.getString("url");
Then call fetchDrawableOnThread(url, yourImageViewReference);

Use volley.
Using volley network image view you can do this

we use latest architecure components here.We make some observers with live data for some flag that represents download status.In service we download the image and completing we update the live data so that the observers method automatically called

Android Download Service [duplicate]

I have an image view , i had written swiping , at that time of swiping,the images are downloading from Internet, so i thought i have to download the images in the background before swiping , for that which i need to use asynctask or Service or IntentService, all these will help in downloading and storing in data/data/mypackages , but still swiping gets slow in my case any idea, also convey me which one is best one, is it i'm calling in a right way
1. asynctask
2. services
3. Intent Service as shown below,
i m confused which one is right method because still my problem not solved
Here's asynctask code sample snippet
public class Demo extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
new FirstTask().execute(); // calling Asynctask here
}
}
Async Task code
private class FirstTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(Catalogue.this);
int temp = 0;
// can use UI thread here
protected void onPreExecute() {
this.dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
this.dialog.setCancelable(false);
//this.dialog.show();
System.gc();
Toast.makeText(Catalogue.this, "My Async Created",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
Looper.prepare();
try {
myddownloadmethod();// calling my download method
} catch (Exception e) {
Util.trace("Error in Async"+e.getMessage());
}
Looper.loop();
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
if (this.dialog.isShowing()) {
Toast.makeText(Catalogue.this, "My Async destroyed",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Toast.makeText(Catalogue.this, "count" + temp,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
this.dialog.dismiss();
}
}
}
Here's My Service sinppet
public class MyService extends Service implements Runnable
{ #Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Thread mythread = new Thread(this);
mythread.start();
}
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
try {
myddownloadmethod();// calling my download method
} catch (Exception e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Looper.loop();
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
Invoking Service
public class ServicesDemo extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
}
}
Here's IntentService Code
public class Downloader extends IntentService {
public Downloader() {
super("Downloader");
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onHandleIntent(Intent i) {
try {
myddownloadmethod();// calling my download method
} catch (Exception e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("Error",e1.getMessage());
}
}
}
Calling IntentService from MyActivity
public class ServicesDemo extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent i1=new Intent(this, Downloader.class);
startService(i1);
}
}

The best way to download it using the service like i have done to download the file from server and put in SD card also use the notification for it.
It is quite long code but i think the perfect one,if did not understand any thing then please go to android developer blog for services.

Android: Memory leak due to AsyncTask

I'm stuck with a memory leak that I cannot fix. I identified where it occurs, using the MemoryAnalizer but I vainly struggle to get rid of it. Here is the code:
public class MyActivity extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
...
Camera.PictureCallback mPictureCallbackJpeg = new Camera.PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera c) {
try {
// log the action
Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "PICTURE CALLBACK JPEG: data.length = " + data);
// Show the ProgressDialog on this thread
pd = ProgressDialog.show(MyActivity.this, "", "Préparation", true, false);
// Start a new thread that will manage the capture
new ManageCaptureTask().execute(data, c);
}
catch(Exception e){
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MyActivity.this);
...
dialog.create().show();
}
}
class ManageCaptureTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, Boolean> {
protected Boolean doInBackground(Object... args) {
Boolean isSuccess = false;
// initialize the bitmap before the capture
((myApp) getApplication()).setBitmapX(null);
try{
// Check if it is a real device or an emulator
TelephonyManager telmgr = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String deviceID = telmgr.getDeviceId();
boolean isEmulator = "000000000000000".equalsIgnoreCase(deviceID);
// get the bitmap
if (isEmulator) {
((myApp) getApplication()).setBitmapX(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFileName));
} else {
((myApp) getApplication()).setBitmapX(BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray((byte[]) args[0], 0, ((byte[])args[0]).length));
}
((myApp) getApplication()).setImageForDB(ImageTools.resizeBmp(((myApp) getApplication()).getBmp()));
// convert the bitmap into a grayscale image and display it in the preview
((myApp) getApplication()).setImage(makeGrayScale());
isSuccess = true;
}
catch (Exception connEx){
errorMessageFromBkgndThread = getString(R.string.errcapture);
}
return isSuccess;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
// Pass the result data back to the main activity
if (MyActivity.this.pd != null) {
MyActivity.this.pd.dismiss();
}
if (result){
((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.apercu)).setImageBitmap(((myApp) getApplication()).getBmp());
((myApp) getApplication()).setBitmapX(null);
}
else{
// there was an error
ErrAlert();
}
}
}
};
private void ErrAlert(){
// notify the user about the error
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
...
dialog.create().show();
}
}
The activity is terminated on a button click, like this:
Button use = (Button) findViewById(R.id.use);
use.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MyActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("dbID", "-1");
intent.putExtra("category", category);
((myApp) getApplication()).setBitmapX(null);
MyActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
MyActivity.this.finish();
}
});
MemoryAnalyzer indicated the memory leak at:
((myApp) getApplication()).setBitmapX(BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray((byte[]) args[0], 0, ((byte[])args[0]).length));
I am grateful for any suggestion, thank you in advance.

Is your thread garbage collected after onPostExecute is called or is it still in the memory?
A Async Task will not be canceled or destroyed at the moment the activity is dismissed. If your thread is more or less lightweight and finishes after a small time, just keep it running and add a MyActivity.this.isFinishing() clause in the onPostExecute() method.
Your Task stores a implicit reference to your Activity MyActivity.this because it is a private class inside the activity. This means that your Activity will not be garbage collected until the task exits.

You can try below code snippet
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
if(YourActivity.this.isFinished()){
//to smomething here
}
}
