want to start development with AWS IOT using Android app
I am seeking for example for IOT in android. need to start basic configuration on AWS console and android app. i already tested temperature demo but didn't get any clue from that! need a basic steps on shadow, policy , role. how to configure them step by step and use of cognito.
below getshadow() method is called onCreate , need to update value on real time basis not ony onCreate.
public void getShadows() {
GetShadowTask getControlShadowTask = new GetShadowTask("TemperatureControl");
getControlShadowTask.execute();
}
private class GetShadowTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, AsyncTaskResult<String>> {
private final String thingName;
public GetShadowTask(String name) {
thingName = name;
}
#Override
protected AsyncTaskResult<String> doInBackground(Void... voids) {
try {
GetThingShadowRequest getThingShadowRequest = new GetThingShadowRequest()
.withThingName(thingName);
GetThingShadowResult result = iotDataClient.getThingShadow(getThingShadowRequest);
// Toast.makeText(getApplication(),result.getPayload().remaining(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
byte[] bytes = new byte[result.getPayload().remaining()];
result.getPayload().get(bytes);
String resultString = new String(bytes);
return new AsyncTaskResult<String>(resultString);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("E", "getShadowTask", e);
return new AsyncTaskResult<String>(e);
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(AsyncTaskResult<String> result) {
if (result.getError() == null) {
JsonParser parser=new JsonParser();
JsonObject jsonObject= (JsonObject) parser.parse(result.getResult());
response=result.getResult();
setPoint=jsonObject.getAsJsonObject("state").getAsJsonObject("reported")
.get("current_date").getAsString();
textView.setText(setPoint);
// Toast.makeText(getApplication(),setPoint,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.i(GetShadowTask.class.getCanonicalName(), result.getResult());
} else {
Log.e(GetShadowTask.class.getCanonicalName(), "getShadowTask", result.getError());
Toast.makeText(getApplication(),result.getError().toString(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
UPDATE
Thing Shadow
{
"desired": {
"welcome": "aws-iot"
},
"reported": {
"welcome": "aws-iot",
"current_date": "06-Sep-2017 1:26:40 PM"
}
}
AWS has provided a complete Github repo of Android samples. In the samples do the PubSubWebSocket to connect, subscribe and publish the data to the shadow.
If you have a closer look into the PubSubWebSocket example you will find a detailed information on how to to make a thing policy and role. It cannot be more concise and clear than that.
For understanding and using Cognito follow AmazonCognitoAuthDemo example to make the identity pool and use it in the PubSubWebSocket example.
To get a better understanding of roles and Cognito. Please read the AWS documentation.
Update:
In the IoT thing policy did you give appropriate permissions to connect, subscribe and publish. The option can be found in AWS IoT->Security->Policy->Create Policy.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "iot:*",
"Resource": "arn:aws:iot:us-east-2:293751794947:topic/replaceWithATopic"
}
]
}
The above policy gives all access to the user. Also, make sure your pool which you created is for unauthenticated users.
To get the changes to the shadow type the following in the sample android(WebSocketAwsPubSub) edit box $aws/things/thing_name/shadow/update/accepted
And to publish the data to the shadow type $aws/things/thing_name/shadow/update
Update 2:
Android Code where you will receive the reported messaged. Its suscribing to the device. Its the copy of the snippet from PubSubWebSocketSample.
public void AwsSubscribe(){
final String topic = "$aws/things/D1/shadow/update/accepted";
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "topic = " + topic);
try {
mqttManager.subscribeToTopic(topic, AWSIotMqttQos.QOS0,
new AWSIotMqttNewMessageCallback() {
#Override
public void onMessageArrived(final String topic, final byte[] data) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
String message = new String(data, "UTF-8");
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Message arrived:");
Log.d(LOG_TAG, " Topic: " + topic);
Log.d(LOG_TAG, " Message: " + message);
tvLastMessage.setText(message);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Message encoding error.", e);
}
}
});
}
});
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Subscription error.", e);
}
}
If you want to create a topic, just change the value of this variable final String topic = "YOUR TOPIC" then subscribe to it by using the sample code.
I need to get access token and send it to the server. With that access token server should get all user details, like name, profile picture and email.
I can get access token using Scopes.PLUS_LOGIN and Scopes.PLUS_ME, but with that access token server can't get user email.
Here is my code:
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle arg0) {
mSignInClicked = false;
AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> task = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
String token = null;
String scope = "oauth2:" + Scopes.PLUS_LOGIN + " " + Scopes.PLUS_ME;
try {
token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(
getApplicationContext(),
Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient),
scope);
appUser.setToken(token);
} catch (IOException transientEx) {
// Network or server error, try later
Log.e(TAG, transientEx.toString());
} catch (UserRecoverableAuthException e) {
// Recover (with e.getIntent())
} catch (GoogleAuthException authEx) {
// The call is not ever expected to succeed
// assuming you have already verified that
// Google Play services is installed.
Log.e(TAG, authEx.toString());
}
return token;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String token) {
Log.i(TAG, "Access token retrieved:" + appUser.getToken());
// Get user's information
}
};
}
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
You are missing the scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
I tested the other scopes and only that one appears to return the users email. You can test the different scopes and what they return here: People: get.
Note: I'm not an android programmer, you will probably have better luck finding out how to request that scope with android. I am looking, but haven't been able to find it.
Looks like the scope might just be email https://developers.google.com/+/api/oauth#email
I have been at this since the weekend and I am at an impasse. I am pretty new to programming and suspect I am in over my head because I have read every link under "Similar Questions" and it either does not apply or confuses me more.
I am using the Twitter4j API and I worked from code sample no. 7 on the twitter4j website on OAuth support at http://twitter4j.org/en/code-examples.html.
As a skill-building project, I want to make an Android celebrity fan app that will download the timeline from the celebrity's public account. The goal is to execute a timeline download of all the tweets. I do not want the user to login to Twitter with this app or post tweets. The app just downloads a timeline in the background and displays the tweets, probably in a list view.
My code is not executing the following line. It seems to just hang there waiting for something to happen.
RequestToken requestToken = twitter.getOAuthRequestToken();
I have internet permissions in manifest. At this point, I am so confused, I do not even know if I have registered my app correctly. I have the four keys (consumer, consumer secret, access, and access secret).
Settings
-Website: made something up
-Application Type: Read Only
-Callback URL: left it blank
-I did not opt in to "Sign In With Twitter."
OAuth Tool
-Request Type: GET
-Request URI: https://api.twitter.com/1/ (probably wrong)
This is my code:
public class TwitterActivity extends Activity
{
Button mButtonTweets;
String JSONString = null;
TextView JSONContent;
class GetTwitterTimeline extends AsyncTask<Void, String, String>
{
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params)
{
try
{
ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
cb.setDebugEnabled(true)
.setOAuthConsumerKey("")
.setOAuthConsumerSecret("")
.setOAuthAccessToken("")
.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("");
TwitterFactory tf = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
Twitter twitter = tf.getInstance();
try
{
RequestToken requestToken = twitter.getOAuthRequestToken();
AccessToken accessToken = null;
while (accessToken == null)
{
onProgressUpdate(requestToken.getAuthenticationURL());
try
{
accessToken = twitter.getOAuthAccessToken();
}//try
catch(TwitterException te)
{
if (te.getStatusCode() == 401)
{
onProgressUpdate("Unable to get the access token");
}//if
else
{
te.printStackTrace();
}//else
}//catch
}//while
onProgressUpdate("Got Access Token");
onProgressUpdate("Access Token: " + accessToken.getToken());
onProgressUpdate("Access Token Secret: " + accessToken.getTokenSecret());
}//try
catch (IllegalStateException ie)
{
if(!twitter.getAuthorization().isEnabled())
{
onProgressUpdate("OAuth consumer key/secret is not set.");
}//if
}//catch
}//try
catch (TwitterException te)
{
te.printStackTrace();
onProgressUpdate("Failed to get timeline");
}//catch
String JSONString = "JSON content will go here";
return JSONString;
}//doInBackground
protected void onProgressUpdate(String logEntry)
{
Log.d("twitter4j", logEntry);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String jsonString)
{
JSONString = jsonString;
}
}//end inner class
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout_twitter);
new GetTwitterTimeline().execute();
JSONContent = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview_tweets);
mButtonTweets = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_tweets);
mButtonTweets.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
JSONContent.setText(JSONString);
}
});
}
}
Twitter API has been updated. So Request URI: https://api.twitter.com/1/ won't work.
Also AFAIK the way you are trying to make the app won't work out. You need some kind of authentication. I also dumped one of my app after this API change. :(
Read the following link:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview
We have contacted Google about this and we are on chat
The issue seems to be fixed for devices except Samsung phones.
I'm adding a Google+ sign in option to an app per the official instructions. Once the user has selected their account I would like my server to retrieve their Google+ profile info and update their profile on our site to match.
The first part - having the user select a Google account locally - seems to work just fine. When I try to request a token for the selected account, the Google auth dialog displays with the appropriate parameters; however, when I authorize the app using that dialog and re-request the token, GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(...) again throws a UserRecoverableAuthException (NeedPermission, not GooglePlayServicesAvailabilityException) and I get the same dialog asking me to approve!
This behavior is present on a Samsung S3 running Android 4.1.1 (with 3 Google accounts) and an Acer A100 running 4.0.3. It is NOT present on an HTC Glacier running 2.3.4. Instead, the HTC Glacier gives me a valid auth code. All devices have the latest iteration of Google Play Services installed and are using different Google+ accounts.
Anyone seen this before? Where can I start with debugging?
Here's the complete code - is anything obviously awry?
public class MyGooglePlusClient {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "GPlus";
private static final String SCOPES_LOGIN = Scopes.PLUS_LOGIN + " " + Scopes.PLUS_PROFILE;
private static final String ACTIVITIES_LOGIN = "http://schemas.google.com/AddActivity";

private BaseActivity mRequestingActivity = null;
private String mSelectedAccount = null;
/**

public synchronized static MyGooglePlusClient getInstance() {
if (myGPlus == null)
myGPlus = new MyGooglePlusClient();
return myGPlus;
}
public boolean login(BaseActivity requester) {
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Starting login...");
if (mRequestingActivity != null) {
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Login attempt already in progress.");
return false; // Cannot launch a new request; already in progress
}
mRequestingActivity = requester;
if (mSelectedAccount == null) {
Intent intent = AccountPicker.newChooseAccountIntent(null, null, new String[]{GoogleAuthUtil.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE}, false,
null, GoogleAuthUtil.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE, null, null);
mRequestingActivity.startActivityForResult(intent, BaseActivity.REQUEST_GPLUS_SELECT);
}
return true;
}
public void loginCallback(String accountName) {
mSelectedAccount = accountName;
authorizeCallback();
}
public void logout() {
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Logging out...");
mSelectedAccount = null;
}

Log.w(LOG_TAG, "User authorized");

try {

b.putString(GoogleAuthUtil.KEY_REQUEST_VISIBLE_ACTIVITIES, ACTIVITIES_LOGIN);
token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(mRequestingActivity,
mSelectedAccount,
"oauth2:server:client_id:"+Constants.GOOGLE_PLUS_SERVER_OAUTH_CLIENT
+":api_scope:" + SCOPES_LOGIN,
b);
} catch (IOException transientEx) {
// Network or server error, try later
Log.w(LOG_TAG, transientEx.toString());
onCompletedLoginAttempt(false);
} catch (GooglePlayServicesAvailabilityException e) {
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Google Play services not available.");
Intent recover = e.getIntent();
mRequestingActivity.startActivityForResult(recover, BaseActivity.REQUEST_GPLUS_AUTHORIZE);
} catch (UserRecoverableAuthException e) {
// Recover (with e.getIntent())
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "User must approve "+e.toString());
Intent recover = e.getIntent();
mRequestingActivity.startActivityForResult(recover, BaseActivity.REQUEST_GPLUS_AUTHORIZE);
} catch (GoogleAuthException authEx) {
// The call is not ever expected to succeed
Log.w(LOG_TAG, authEx.toString());
onCompletedLoginAttempt(false);
}
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Finished with task; token is "+token);
if (token != null) {
authorizeCallback(token);
}
return token;
}
};
task.execute();
}
public void authorizeCallback(String token) {
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Token obtained: "+token);
// <snipped - do some more stuff involving connecting to the server and resetting the state locally>
}
public void onCompletedLoginAttempt(boolean success) {
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Login attempt "+(success ? "succeeded" : "failed"));
mRequestingActivity.hideProgressDialog();
mRequestingActivity = null;
}
}
I've had this issue for a while and came up with a proper solution.
String token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(this, accountName, scopeString, appActivities);
This line will either return the one time token or will trigger the UserRecoverableAuthException.
On the Google Plus Sign In guide, it says to open the proper recovery activity.
startActivityForResult(e.getIntent(), RECOVERABLE_REQUEST_CODE);
When the activity returns with the result, it will come back with few extras in the intent and that is where the new token resides :
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == RECOVERABLE_REQUEST_CODE && responseCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extra = intent.getExtras();
String oneTimeToken = extra.getString("authtoken");
}
}
With the new oneTimeToken given from the extra, you can submit to the server to connect properly.
I hope this helps!
Its too late to reply but it may help to people having same concern in future.
They have mentioned in the tutorial that it will always throw UserRecoverableAuthException
when you invoke GoogleAuthUtil.getToken() for the first time. Second time it will succeed.
catch (UserRecoverableAuthException e) {
// Requesting an authorization code will always throw
// UserRecoverableAuthException on the first call to GoogleAuthUtil.getToken
// because the user must consent to offline access to their data. After
// consent is granted control is returned to your activity in onActivityResult
// and the second call to GoogleAuthUtil.getToken will succeed.
startActivityForResult(e.getIntent(), AUTH_CODE_REQUEST_CODE);
return;
}
i used below code to get access code from google.
execute this new GetAuthTokenFromGoogle().execute(); once from public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) and once from protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode, Intent intent)
private class GetAuthTokenFromGoogle extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void>{
#Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
accessCode = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(mContext, Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient), SCOPE);
new ValidateTokenWithPhoneOmega().execute();
Log.d("Token -- ", accessCode);
} catch (IOException transientEx) {
// network or server error, the call is expected to succeed if you try again later.
// Don't attempt to call again immediately - the request is likely to
// fail, you'll hit quotas or back-off.
return null;
} catch (UserRecoverableAuthException e) {
// Recover
startActivityForResult(e.getIntent(), RC_ACCESS_CODE);
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (GoogleAuthException authEx) {
// Failure. The call is not expected to ever succeed so it should not be
// retried.
authEx.printStackTrace();
return null;
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result)
{
}
}
I have got around this issue by using a web based login. I open a url like this
String url = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=" + Scopes.PLUS_LOGIN + "&client_id=" + webLoginClientId + "&response_type=code&access_type=offline&approval_prompt=force&redirect_uri=" + redirect;
The redirect url then handles the response and returns to my app.
In terms of my findings on using the Google Play Services, I've found:
HTC One is 3.1.59 (736673-30) - not working
Galaxy Note is 3.1.59 (736673-36) - not working
Nexus S is 3.1.59 (736673-34) - works
And I'd like to be involved in the chat that is occurring, however I don't have a high enough reputation to do so.
I've experienced the same issue recently - it appears to be device-specific (I had it happen every time on one S3, but on another S3 running the same OS it didn't happen, even with the same account). My hunch is that it's a bug in a client app, either the G+ app or the Google Play Services app. I managed to solve the issue on one of my devices by factory resetting it (a Motorola Defy), then reinstalling the Google Play Services app, but that's a completely useless solution to tell to users.
Edit (6th Aug 2013): This seems to have been fixed for me without any changes to my code.
The first potential issue I can see is that you are calling GoogleAuthUtil.getToken() after you get the onConnected() callback. This is a problem because requesting an authorization code for your server using GoogleAuthUtil.getToken() will always show a consent screen to your users. So you should only get an authorization code for new users and, to avoid showing new users two consent screens, you must fetch an authorization code and exchange it on your server before resolving any connection failures from PlusClient.
Secondly, make sure you actually need both a PlusClient and an authorization code for your servers. You only need to get a PlusClient and an authorization code if you are intending to make calls to the Google APIs from both the Android client and your server. As explained in this answer.
These issues would only result in two consent dialogs being displayed (which is clearly not an endless loop) - are you seeing more than two consent dialogs?
I had a similar problem where an apparent auth loop kept creating {read: spamming} these "Signing In..." and Permission request dialogs while also giving out the discussed exception repeatedly.
The problem appears in some slightly-modified example code that I (and other like me, I suspect) "cargo-culted" from AndroidHive. The solution that worked for me was ensuring that only one background token-retrieval task runs at the background at any given time.
To make my code easier to follow, here's the auth flow in my app (that is almost identical to the example code on AndoidHive): Activity -> onConnected(...) -> getProfileInformation() -> getOneTimeToken().
Here's where getOneTimeToken() is called:
private void getProfileInformation() {
try {
if (Plus.PeopleApi.getCurrentPerson(mGoogleApiClient) != null) {
Person currentPerson = Plus.PeopleApi
.getCurrentPerson(mGoogleApiClient);
String personName = currentPerson.getDisplayName();
String personPhotoUrl = currentPerson.getImage().getUrl();
String personGooglePlusProfile = currentPerson.getUrl();
String email = Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient);
getOneTimeToken(); // <-------
...
Here's my getOneTimeToken():
private void getOneTimeToken(){
if (task==null){
task = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
LogHelper.log('d',LOGTAG, "Executing background task....");
Bundle appActivities = new Bundle();
appActivities.putString(
GoogleAuthUtil.KEY_REQUEST_VISIBLE_ACTIVITIES,
ACTIVITIES_LOGIN);
String scopes = "oauth2:server" +
":client_id:" + SERVER_CLIENT_ID +
":api_scope:" + SCOPES_LOGIN;
String token = null;
try {
token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(
ActivityPlus.this,
Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient),
scopes,
appActivities
);
} catch (IOException transientEx) {
/* Original comment removed*/
LogHelper.log('e',LOGTAG, transientEx.toString());
} catch (UserRecoverableAuthException e) {
/* Original comment removed*/
LogHelper.log('e',LOGTAG, e.toString());
startActivityForResult(e.getIntent(), AUTH_CODE_REQUEST);
} catch (GoogleAuthException authEx) {
/* Original comment removed*/
LogHelper.log('e',LOGTAG, authEx.toString());
} catch (IllegalStateException stateEx){
LogHelper.log('e',LOGTAG, stateEx.toString());
}
LogHelper.log('d',LOGTAG, "Background task finishing....");
return token;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String token) {
LogHelper.log('i',LOGTAG, "Access token retrieved: " + token);
}
};
}
LogHelper.log('d',LOGTAG, "Task setup successful.");
if(task.getStatus() != AsyncTask.Status.RUNNING){
task.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.SERIAL_EXECUTOR); //double safety!
} else
LogHelper.log('d',LOGTAG,
"Attempted to restart task while it is running!");
}
Please note that I have a {probably redundant} double-safety against the task executing multiple times:
if(task .getStatus() != AsyncTask.Status.RUNNING){...} - ensures that the task isn't running before attempting to execute it.
task.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.SERIAL_EXECUTOR);- makes sure that copies of this task are "synchronized" (i.e. a queue is in place such that only one task of this type can executed at a given time).
P.S.
Minor clarification: LogHelper.log('e',...) is equivalent to Log.e(...) etc.
you should startactiviy in UI thread
try {
....
} catch (IOException transientEx) {
....
} catch (final UserRecoverableAuthException e) {
....
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
startActivityForResult(e1.getIntent(), AUTH_CODE_REQUEST);
}
});
}
Had the same bug with infinite loop of permission request. For me it was because time on my phone was shifted. When I check detect time automatically this bug disappeared. Hope this helps!
I am trying to develop a Facebook application for Android. I am unable to integrate the "Add Comment" feature to photos in Facebook Albums. Using the Graph API, I can show the previously made comments on a photo. However, I just can't add new comments to a photo.
Can somebody provide me some helpful advice?
here is simple example on doing that..
// post comment to single photo
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
String target = "";
target = "<PHOTO_ID>/comments";
parameters.putString("message", "post Comment testing");
mAsyncRunner.request(target, parameters, "POST", new FacebookRequestListener(target+" (post comment)"));
and here is a simple example for the listener (you can get this from examples of facebook-android-sdk too)
public class FacebookRequestListener extends BaseRequestListener {
String caller = "default";
public FacebookRequestListener() {
}
public FacebookRequestListener(String caller) {
this.caller = caller;
}
public void onComplete(final String response) {
try {
Log.d(TAG, "FacebookRequestListener|"+caller+":" + response);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.w(TAG, "Error:"+e.getMessage());
}
}
}
