Passing special characters over socket connection - android

I have built a chat application in Android powered by sockets. The messages send and receive fine, so long as the user does not send messages with special characters, ie. Hey, it's me, will not work, but Hey its me, will, the comma and apostrophe prevent the message from being delivered.
I attempted using URLEncoder, but that did not allow the unique characters to be sent.
Sending message method:
public String sendMessage(String username, String tousername, String message, String campaign_id, String location_id)
throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
String params = "username=" + URLEncoder.encode(this.username, "UTF-8")
+ "&password=" + URLEncoder.encode(this.password, "UTF-8")
+ "&to=" + URLEncoder.encode(tousername, "UTF-8")
+ "&message=" + URLEncoder.encode(message, "UTF-8")
+ "&campaign_id=" + URLEncoder.encode(campaign_id, "UTF-8")
+ "&location_id=" + URLEncoder.encode(location_id, "UTF-8")
+ "&action=" + URLEncoder.encode("sendMessage", "UTF-8")
+ "&gcmregid=" + gcmRegistrationID
+ "&";
Log.i("PARAMS", params);
return socketOperator.sendHttpRequest(params);
}
with
SocketerInterface socketOperator = new Socketer(this);
and Socketer class as:
public class Socketer implements SocketerInterface {
// Have to set the proper ports that apache is runnign on as well as your
// computers IP address: ie. ip:4430 or 800
Global ipAddress = new Global();
private final String AUTHENTICATION_SERVER_ADDRESS = "http://"
// + ipAddress.getIpAddress() + ":80/AndroidChatterDatabase/"; // Google Compute Engine Access

How can I format/encode to allow sending these messages?

Java uses UTF-16 for internal String representation, but it looks like you are using UTF-8, but you aren't doing anything special to convert it from UTF-8 when reading it from BufferedReader. In the params, try specifying UTF-16 instead.
From the Java String documentation:
A String represents a string in the UTF-16 format

Can Java's FutureTask be an alternative to AsyncTask?

The docs say AsyncTask is designed to handle short operations(few seconds maximum) and states that Java classes like FutureTask are better for operations that last long. So I tried to send my location updates to the server using FutureTask but I am getting NetworkOnMainThreadException. I don't want to use AsyncTask because I wanted to keep the http connection open until the updates are cancelled. Here is my code:
SendLocation updates = new SendLocation(idt, String.valueOf(location.getLatitude()), String.valueOf(location.getLongitude()));
FutureTask ft = new FutureTask<String>(updates);
boolean b = ft.cancel(false);
ft.run();
class SendLocation implements Callable<String> {
String t, la, lo;
public SendLocation(String a, String b, String c){
this.t = a;
this.la = b;
this.lo = c;
}
public String call() {
sendUpdates(token, la, lo);
return "Task Done";
}
public void sendUpdates(String a, String b, String c){
HttpURLConnection urlConn = null;
try {
try {
URL url;
//HttpURLConnection urlConn;
url = new URL(remote + "driver.php");
urlConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
System.setProperty("http.keepAlive", "true");
//urlConn.setDoInput(true); //this is for get request
urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
urlConn.setRequestMethod("POST");
urlConn.connect();
try {
//Create JSONObject here
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
json.put("drt", a);
json.put("drlat", b);
json.put("drlon", c);
String postData = json.toString();
// Send POST output.
OutputStreamWriter os = new OutputStreamWriter(urlConn.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8");
os.write(postData);
Log.i("NOTIFICATION", "Data Sent");
os.flush();
os.close();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream()));
String msg = "";
String line = "";
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
msg += line;
}
Log.i("msg=", "" + msg);
} catch (JSONException jsonex) {
jsonex.printStackTrace();
Log.e("jsnExce", jsonex.toString());
}
} catch (MalformedURLException muex) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
muex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ioex) {
ioex.printStackTrace();
try { //if there is IOException clean the connection and clear it for reuse(works if the stream is not too long)
int respCode = urlConn.getResponseCode();
InputStream es = urlConn.getErrorStream();
byte[] buffer = null;
int ret = 0;
// read the response body
while ((ret = es.read(buffer)) > 0) {
Log.e("streamingError", String.valueOf(respCode) + String.valueOf(ret));
}
// close the errorstream
es.close();
} catch(IOException ex) {
// deal with the exception
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("ERROR", "There is error in this code " + String.valueOf(e));
}
}
}
Doesn't it get executed in a worker thread? If the answer is no why does the docs say that it is an alternative to AsyncTask?
Your code must not be in the void run() method. This is where the asynchronous code is ran.

Is it due to the php code?
or is the error in this java file.?
Which charater should be changed?
The error is in download web page task.

seems to me that the query url "__http://suprabha.orgfree.com/ecg/temp.php?name=10&temper= 31,w=t" is where the program is encountering problem.
the 56th character is "=" which shouldnt be unexpected. However the spaces before the "31" in the string, can those be a point of concern?
If the spaces are not required as per your design, i would suggest you to remove and try it. If, they are however required, i would suggest escaping it before using the same.
Hope it helps.
note: ignore the undescores before the url. did that to prevent hyperlinking.
Problem are the blank spaces after the = symbol. You can avoid this simply with String:trimm(), but won't solve other problems, so, to avoid this, with URL's use java.net.URLEncoder to fit your needed enconding, for example:
URLEncoder.encode(url, "UTF-8");
In your case:
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(URLEncoder.encode(url, "UTF-8"));

how to avoid an application hanging while calculating two functions together?

here is my code for calculating distance and fare together when the condition exceeds minimum(minDist) kilometer. But while checking this application in real device it hangs up after two kilometer. Because after two kilometer it goes to else condition part. i don't know how to solve this issue.

sb.append("\n" + line);
}
response.close();
result = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return result;
}
}
But i get such Exceptions as commented in the code.
Actually i am calling MConnections.PostData() twice from my Activity using a AsyncTask. This might cause the Exception: Already Connected but i am using connection.disconnect. But why am i still getting that Exception?
Am i using it the wrong way?
Thank You
For the protocol exception, try adding the following before you call getOutputStream():
connection.setDoOutput(true);

Side note: I was having this issue on my HTC Thunderbolt running Gingerbread, but not on my Nexus 4 running Jelly Bean.

Client-Server TCP communication

The server should send a message "Hello :: enter QUIT to exit" to the client, then the client types in any text and the server echos back the client's text adding "From server: " before their message.
But there seems to be a mix up in the order and I can't seem to find where! I've been on this all day!
This is the Server's code:
import java.net.*;
public class Server {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int nreq = 1;
try
{
ServerSocket sock = new ServerSocket (8080);
for (;;)
{
Socket newsock = sock.accept();
System.out.println("Creating thread ...");
Thread t = new ThreadHandler(newsock,nreq);
t.start();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("IO error " + e);
}
System.out.println("End!");
}
}
ThreadHandler code:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class ThreadHandler extends Thread {
Socket newsock;
int n;
ThreadHandler(Socket s, int v) {
newsock = s;
n = v;
}
// #SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public void run() {
try {
PrintWriter outp = new PrintWriter(newsock.getOutputStream(), true);
BufferedReader inp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
newsock.getInputStream()));
outp.println("Hello :: enter QUIT to exit");
boolean more_data = true;
String line;
while (more_data) {
line = inp.readLine();
if (line == null) {
more_data = false;
} else {
outp.println("From server: " + line + "\n");
if (line.trim().equals("QUIT"))
more_data = false;
}
}
newsock.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("IO error " + e);
}
}
}
And the Client code:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Client {
// #SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
try {
Socket s = new Socket("localhost", 8080);
PrintWriter outp = new PrintWriter(s.getOutputStream(), true);
BufferedReader inp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
s.getInputStream()));
boolean more_data = true;
System.out.println("Established connection");
String line;
while (more_data) {
line = inp.readLine();
String userInput = scanner.nextLine();
outp.println(userInput);
if (line == null) {
more_data = false;
} else
System.out.println(line);
}
System.out.println("end of while");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("IO error " + e);
}
}
}
I'm testing it out so after I'm going to make the client an Android phone - if that's possible -
Update:
I've changed the server's code to:
outp.println("Hello :: enter QUIT to exit \n");
boolean more_data = true;
String line;
while (more_data) {
line = inp.readLine();
System.out.println("Message '" + line + "' echoed back to client.");// !!
if (line == null) {
System.out.println("line = null");
more_data = false;
} else {
outp.println("From server: " + line + ". \n");
if (line.trim().equals("QUIT"))
more_data = false;
}
}
newsock.close();
System.out.println("Disconnected from client number: " + n);
and added "\n" at the end of the Hello message as Luis Miguel Serrano suggested, And changed the Client's side as below:
boolean more_data = true;
System.out.println("Established connection");
String line;// = inp.readLine();
while (more_data) {
line = inp.readLine();
System.out.println(line);
if (line == null) {
// nothing read
more_data = false;
} else
line = inp.readLine();
System.out.println(line);
String userInput = scanner.nextLine();
if (userInput.trim() == "QUIT") {
s.close();
System.out.println("Disconnected from server.");
more_data = false;
} else
outp.println(userInput);
}
System.out.println("end of while");
And it works fine now.
If anyone could suggest me some Android client-java server tutorials would appreciate it.
In sequence of your comment, it could be a flushing issue. Try adding the following line:
outp.flush();
after:
outp.println("Hello :: enter QUIT to exit");
When you write to a stream, sometimes the things you write are kept in a buffer. If you want to make sure that buffer is emptied and the string is actually sent, you need to call the flush() method.
Update
Also, add "\n" to the end of your Hello welcome message from the server. I think that will make it work.
