using DevicePolicyManager resetPassword succeeded,but unlock the screen failure - android

I developing a DeviceManager sample app,and i use resetPassword() method to reset screen lock password.
using some long length password,just like "123456"、"abcdef",this method result tells succeeded,and working good on screen lock.
using some short length password,"11" or "ab",the method result still succeeded,but not working on screen lock.
and strangely,when i input wrong password,some screen text show that is wrong password,then input correct password,it doesn't show any text,just no response.
for this problem,i have restored factory defaults three times。

Receive barcode scanner Device result in android

I am trying to receive the scanned barcode result from a device paired via (Bluetooth/USB) to an android device.
so many topics said :
most plug-in barcode scanners (that I've seen) are made as HID profile devices so whatever they are plugged into should see them as a Keyboard basically.
source
So I am using this code to receive the result of the scan:
#Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
if (viewModel.onTriggerScan()) {
//1
char pressedKey = (char) event.getUnicodeChar();
viewModel.addCharToCode(pressedKey);
//2
String fullCode = event.getCharacters();
viewModel.fullCode(fullCode);
//check if the scan is done, received all the chars
if (event.getAction() == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
//does this work ?
viewModel.gotAllChars();
//3
String fullCode2 = event.getCharacters();
viewModel.fullCode(fullCode2);
}
return true;
} else
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
Note: I don't have a barcode scanner device for the test.
which code will receive the result ?? (1 or 2 or 3 ?)
You won't ever see an IME_ACTION_DONE, that's something that's Android only and an external keyboard would never generate.
After that, it's really up to how the scanner works. You may get a full key up and key down for each character. You may not, and may receive multiple characters per event. You may see it finish with a terminator (like \n) you may not- depends on how the scanner is configured. Unless you can configure it yourself or tell the user how to configure it, you need to be prepared for either (which means treating the data as done either after seeing the terminator, or after a second or two once new data stops coming in.
Really you need to buy a configurable scanner model and try it in multiple modes and make ever mode works. Expect it to take a few days in your schedule.
Workaround solution but it works 100%.
the solution is based on clone edittext (hidden from the UI), this edit text just receives the result on it, adds a listener, and when the result arrives gets it and clears the edittext field. An important step, when you try to receive the result(trigger scan) make sure that edittext has the focus otherwise you wil not get the result.
Quick steps:
1- create editText (any text field that receives inputs) in your layout
2- set its visibility to "gone" and clear it.
3- add onValueChangeListener to your edittext.
4- focus your edittext when you start trigger the scan
5- each time you the listener call, get the result and clear edittext
Note: never miss to focus your edittext whenever you start trigger scan.
Note: this method work(99%) for all external scan device and any barcode type.

Doing Automated and manual testing in parallel in espresso in Android studio

Hi i have written testCases using espresso for the Android app.
Below is my code. my requirement is i need to manally Login to my app by entering credentials before i test the title bar Text.
So i am going into sleep for 2 min. when i enter credentials and click Login button below error is coming.
"D/InputEventConsistencyVerifier: TouchEvent: Touch event stream contains events from multiple sources: previous device id 0, previous source 2, new device id 0, new source 1002 "
Please let me know how to achieve this....
#Test
public void checkTitleBarText() throws InterruptedException {
sleep(120000);
onView(withId(R.id.drawer_layout)).perform(actionOpenDrawer());
Assert.assertEquals("SomeText", (String) textView.getText());
}
Why can't you just login with espresso? I'd be much easier...
However, If it's really your requirement, You can always launch tests with debuger attached and put a breakpoint in test code (which is stopping test thread). Login manually then and resume execution.

How to check that screen lock has a password?

I'm currently checking if there is a screen lock password with:
DevicePolicyManager.getgetPasswordMinimumLength() != 0
so if I see that the length is 0 I conclude there is no screen lock password and I prompt user to set one with DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_SET_NEW_PASSWORD.
I wonder though if it's a correct method of checking whether a screen lock password has been set?
Use DevicePolicyManager.isActivePasswordSufficient to check whether your password policy is sufficient instead of getPasswordMinimumlength

Unlock automatically when android phone booted

I had caught phone boot event.
On boot complete event I am writing following code
KeyguardManager mKeyguardManager = (KeyguardManager) mContext.getSystemService(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock mLock = mKeyguardManager.newKeyguardLock("MyApp");
mLock.disableKeyguard();
but what happing I can able to see lock and after that screen is getting unlocked. But requirement is that lock should not be visible at all after booting.
My guess is that I need to make modification in framework somewhere in setting file.
But I don't know where to modify.

You did not lock the screen. Hence, you cannot unlock it. disableKeyguard() is only used to reverse the effects of reenableKeyguard().
My guess is that I need to make modification in framework somewhere in setting file.
If by "setting file" you mean "Java, or possibly C/C++, source code", then yes that is probably the case.
But I don't know where to modify.
StackOverflow is not a great resource for assistance with firmware modifications, sorry.
I have did it by commenting following code in KeyguardViewMediator
private void showLocked() {
/* if (DEBUG) Log.d(TAG, "showLocked");
Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage(SHOW);
mHandler.sendMessage(msg);*/
}

Sending pause to dialer

In a similar vein to Sending Pause and DTMF input in android, I'm trying to send the pause character "," to the dialer. This works on HTC Sense phones and even on the Xoom, but not on "stock experience" phones like the Nexus One or T-Mobile G2 (and I suspect the Motorola Droid).
These phones seem to have a dialer that tries to pretty-format the number (ie adding dashes) and stop upon hitting a comma character. Interestingly, it doesn't choke on a "p" character, though it will strip out "p"s and keep adding numbers.
Here is what the ActivityManager sees:
I/ActivityManager( 92): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.DIAL dat=tel:8883333,444 cmp=com.android.contacts/.DialtactsActivity }
I've also tried the encoded form, "tel:8883333%2C444" with no difference in behavior on these phones. I've tried "p", as mentioned, but these characters are dropped resulting in the dialers having 888-333-3444 incorrectly populated, and I'm not sure that "p" is correct anyway.
So, the question: Is there a way to specify a pause that works across most or all android dialers?
Short answer: Doesn't look like it's possible using the native dialer.
Long answer:
The native dialer in Android uses the following code to extract the number you pass in to the dialer using an Intent
if ("tel".equals(uri.getScheme())) {
// Put the requested number into the input area
String data = uri.getSchemeSpecificPart();
setFormattedDigits(data, null);
return true;
}
Within the setFormattedDigits method the number gets transformed thusly:
String dialString = PhoneNumberUtils.extractNetworkPortion(data);
Looking at the docs for extractNetworkPortion you'll notice that it, "Extracts the network address portion [where the] Network address portion is everything up to DTMF control digit separators (pause or wait).
So the code is intentionally striping out the pause character and anything that comes after it. The only alternative I can think of is to replace the dialer or use the ACTION_CALL action instead of ACTION_DIAL. That'll bypass the dialer, so it should be used with caution.
dialing pause has been comma for 30 years
If the android phone is compatible with ITUT V.250 ATS8=2 should set the delay caused by comma to 2 seconds. (it's possible that it has somehow been set to 0s)
ITUT is a great standards orgnisation, you can download their standards for free.
From the android's latin ime source code:
<!-- Pause is a comma. Check PhoneNumberUtils.java to see if this has changed. -->
<Key
android:codes="44"
android:keyLabel="Pause" />
I am not 100% sure if it's public, but you might be able to use:
PhoneNumberUtils.PAUSE
',' is the standard but HTC used 'p' in rogers magic,, have you tried with 'p'?
HTC Magic is using p
This is horrible and dangerous. Business people getting conference call emails on their phone have to constantly switch back and forth to get the number.
Just make it work like it should:
tel://+1-877-555-1212,,,2345678#
Should dial the 877 number pause then dial in the participant conference code and 'enter' (#) when selected anywhere on the phone.
It's that simple. The fact this doesn't work in Android is a iPhone sales pitch.
For future reference RFC-2806 specifies storing telephone numbers in the format:
tel:number;postd=post-dial
Where number can start with + for intentional dialling and can include - or . as a visual separator and post-dial can include numbers, upper case letters A-D, #, *, p for pause and w for wait.
