Android bluetooth printer app works fine in debug mode but doesn't work in release mode

I am writing an Android app to print text on a bluetooth thermal printer.
Here is the complete code
The app works fine in the debug mode but when I generate a signed APK and install it on the device, it does not respond at all.
I have tried different solution suggested on stackoverflow but non of them worked.

Does your app manifest declare permissions for bluetooth to be used?
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth#Permissions
In order to use Bluetooth features in your application, you must declare two permissions. The first of these is BLUETOOTH. You need this permission to perform any Bluetooth communication, such as requesting a connection, accepting a connection, and transferring data.
The other permission that you must declare is either
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. A location permission
is required because Bluetooth scans can be used to gather information
about the location of the user. This information may come from the
user's own devices, as well as Bluetooth beacons in use at locations
such as shops and transit facilities.

If it only happens when u sign the apk, it looks like u have to update ur proguard rules, to exclude the printer lib clases or similar

One reason for the application not responding is that you stop the main thread for 3 seconds on line 60 in the click listener of the button.
Replace the onCreate() method with the code below
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//Get the activity
this.activity = this;
//Button from the XML view
btnConnect = findViewById(R.id.btnConnect);
//Start the Init Work Service Async task
new InitWorkService().execute();
final ExecutorService es = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
//Set onClickListener for test print button
btnConnect.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
btnConnect.setEnabled(false);
es.submit(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
connect();
}
});
}
});
}
private void connect() {
try {
//Check if name and address are set
if (name != null && mac_address != null && mac_address.contains(":")) {
if (!WorkService.workThread.isConnected()) {
WorkService.workThread.connectBt(mac_address);
//Sleep for 3 seconds
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
//Check if connected
if (WorkService.workThread.isConnected()) {
//Collect data in background Thread
new PrintData().execute();
} else {
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(activity, Global.toast_notconnect, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
} else {
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Please setup printer first!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage(), e.fillInStackTrace());
}
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
btnConnect.setEnabled(true);
}
});
}
Now the connection part executes in a new thread and only the UI operations go on the main one.
Please note that this code is not the optimal solution because it does not take into account the activity lifecycle. If the activity is re-created while the thread sleeps, there is still a reference kept to the old activity. But it should be a starting point for you.

Exit from application from home screen and close it

I want to close my application from splash screen automatically after showing an message if there is no internet connection available or any error occurs due to response error. My code closes the application but cant close the splash screen.Times of India(TOI) application does like this. How to implement this feature.
my splash screen activity is like this..
public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
// Splash screen timer
private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 8000;
static String MENU = null;
ArrayList<String> ls = new ArrayList<String>();
private String[] categoryType;
private boolean flag = true;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
// requesting data for menu items in navigation drawer
String url = "http://guwahatinow.com/?json=get_category_index";
if (isOnline()) {
JsonObjectRequest jsonObjReqMenu = new JsonObjectRequest(Method.GET,
url, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
try {
JSONArray jsonArrayMenu= response.getJSONArray("categories");
Log.d("request", "menu");
int loop;
ls.add("Top Stories");
for (loop = 0; loop <jsonArrayMenu.length() ; loop++) {
JSONObject jsonObj = (JSONObject) jsonArrayMenu.get(loop);
String category =jsonObj.getString("title") ;
//menu.add(category);
ls.add(loop+1, category);
Log.d("menu added", category);
Log.d("element in ls", ls.get(loop));
}
ls.add("Exit");
int i = ls.size();
categoryType = new String[i];
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
categoryType[j] = ls.get(j);
}
}catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please check your internet connection and try again...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
VolleyLog.d("menu error", "Error: " + error.getMessage());
flag = false;
//finish();
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
System.exit(0);
//System.exit(0);
}
});
RequestQueue menuQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
menuQueue.add(jsonObjReqMenu);
if (flag) {
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
/*
* Showing splash screen with a timer. This will be useful when you
* want to show case your app logo / company
*/
#Override
public void run() {
// This method will be executed once the timer is over
// Start your app main activity
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtra(com.hamburger.menu.SplashScreen.MENU, categoryType);
startActivity(i);
Log.d("main activity called", "true");
// close this activity
finish();
}
}, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Internet connection error...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish();
System.exit(0);
}
/*new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
* Showing splash screen with a timer. This will be useful when you
* want to show case your app logo / company
#Override
public void run() {
// This method will be executed once the timer is over
// Start your app main activity
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtra(com.hamburger.menu.SplashScreen.MENU, categoryType);
startActivity(i);
Log.d("main activity called", "true");
// close this activity
finish();
}
}, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);*/
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please connect to internet...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
protected boolean isOnline() {
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}

Calling the finish() method on an Activity when there is no connection available in your case or any other at where you want to close app.

In you major else block of if block for checking internet call finish() method. eg
You have you code as
if (isOnline()) {
// your Code for calling API and starting timer
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please connect to internet...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
Change it to
if (isOnline()) {
// your Code for calling API and starting timer
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please connect to internet...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish();
}

Hi please replace your code with below code where you used handler thread
CountDownTimer m_countDownTimer;
m_countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(8000,1000) {
#Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished)
{
}
#Override
public void onFinish()
{
if(!isFinishing())
{
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtra(com.hamburger.menu.SplashScreen.MENU, categoryType);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
}
}.start();
Cancel CountDownTimer object in OnDestroy()
#Override
protected void onDestroy()
{
if(m_countDownTimer != null)
{
m_countDownTimer.cancel();
}
super.onDestroy();
}

android - progress black out but still running

I'm developing DES decryption in Android platform.
this is my main
package com.example.crack;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class Main extends Activity {
public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.crack.MESSAGE";
public final static String EXTRA_PLAINTEXT = "com.example.crack.PLAINTEXT";
public final static int ENCRYPTION_REQUEST = 1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, encryption.class);
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input_message);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivityForResult(intent, ENCRYPTION_REQUEST);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// Check which request it is that we're responding to
if (requestCode == ENCRYPTION_REQUEST) {
// Make sure the request was successful
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String result = data.getStringExtra(encryption.EXTRA_ENCRYPTION_RETURN);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessage.class);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, result);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
}
and this is the partial of my encrpytion
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.encryption);
Intent intent = getIntent();
message = intent.getStringExtra(Main.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
//Dictionary
is = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.english);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
readDic();
String result = "";
try {
result = decryptBruteForce();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_ENCRYPTION_RETURN,result);
setResult(RESULT_OK,returnIntent);
finish();
}
when i click on the button, it calls the sendMessage function, while it is running the decryption the screen just black out until it finish running.
I had try using progress bar follow this guide, but not working, I need a button that can stop the process while running.
And is it possible to set a log on view, which show what the function is doing right now? like what is shown in the IDE log? Example, showing what key is the decryption trying right now.
Or maybe just a progress bar or please wait will do too.
I tried to change the sendMessage to this, yet it still black out and crash
public void sendMessage(View view) {
final Intent intent = new Intent(this, encryption.class);
view.setEnabled(false);
AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> task = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
pd = new ProgressDialog(context);
pd.setTitle("Processing...");
pd.setMessage("Please wait.");
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.setIndeterminate(true);
pd.show();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
try {
//Do something...
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input_message);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivityForResult(intent, ENCRYPTION_REQUEST);
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
if (pd!=null) {
pd.dismiss();
b.setEnabled(true);
}
}
};
task.execute((Void[])null);
}
if I put sleep to 50000, it did not crash, but still it black out.

You can do it with a Thread and a Handler. While you try each combination, you update the progress bar.
private int mProgressStatus = 0;
private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
.... // Other initializations
mProgress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progress_bar);
mProgress.setMax(dictionaryLength);
// Start lengthy operation in a background thread
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
for (int i=0 ; i<dictionaryLength ; i++)
{
mProgressStatus = decryptBruteForce(i);
// Update the progress bar
mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
mProgress.setProgress(mProgressStatus);
}
});
}
}
}).start();
}
However i recommend you to use AsyncTask to do background operations while you need to update the UI to show the progress or info about whats going on.
http://developer.android.com/intl/es/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html
Its a good habit to add a cancel control in your loop, so you can finish it from outside of the AsyncTask (for example another button in you UI).
private class DecryptTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Long> {
protected Long doInBackground(String... words)
{
long wordsDecrypted = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < words.length ; i++) {
wordsDecrypted += decryptBruteForce(i);
publishProgress(i);
// Escape early if cancel() is called
if (isCancelled())
break;
}
return wordsDecrypted;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {
mProgress.setProgress(progress[0]);
}
protected void onPostExecute(Long result) {
showDialog("Decrypted " + result + " words");
}
}
And you can cancel the AsyncTask from outside with the cancel method:
http://developer.android.com/intl/es/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#cancel(boolean)
PD: Codes are not tested, just examples to show how it works

public void buttonClick(View v)
{
Update();
}
private void Update()
{
if (m_Receiver != null)
{
if (m_Receiver.IsNewResult())
{
byte[] b = m_Receiver.GetResult();
MyHandler.sendMessage(MyHandler.obtainMessage(101, b));
}
else
{
float[] infos = new float[2];
infos[0] = m_Receiver.GetProgress();
infos[1] = m_Receiver.GetRatio();
MyHandler.sendMessage(MyHandler.obtainMessage(100, infos));
}
}
}
}
As you see i want to check the status of the UDPReceiver-Object (Is there a new complete byte[] ready?) by a thread. To update the GUI, the thread has to send a Message to MyHandler which will update the GUI.
In the moment i have to to click a button to raise the buttonClick-Event. Later on i want to do this in the commented thread-structure.
Now, here's my problem:
I start the Activity and everything works fine. Then i am starting to send ONE packet manually with my UDP-Sender (which works, i validated it with a C#-UDP-Receiver). The first packet get received fine. Then i send the second packet which get received, too. But from now on, my breakpoint at m_Socket.receive(packet); wont get hit anymore!
I have NO idea what this behaviour causes and it is very important for me to make this application work.
Please, if you have ANY Idea or just a guess, please let me know.

I use the above Code for making connection for twitter but it only works for one time if I want another time for connection then it never provide me second time connection.
Thankx

Could this be an Activity lifecycle issue? Your call to getTwitter() occurs in onCreate, which only gets called when the Activity is created. If a user navigates away then comes back to your app, it may still be running, so onCreate would not get called again. Have a look at the Activity lifecycle, and add some debug code to each of the lifecycle methods (onResume, onPause etc) to get an idea of when they are called.
