Flutter HEALTH package get steps from user returns always null?

I am working on a personal project and I am using flutter to develop an app (cross platform) that reads in the user's health data from google fit (Android) or Apple Health. I am using this package and even the EXACT same code like in the documentation (I am currently only testing on Android):
Future fetchStepData() async {
int? steps;
// get steps for today (i.e., since midnight)
final now = DateTime.now();
final midnight = DateTime(now.year, now.month, now.day);
bool requested = await health.requestAuthorization([HealthDataType.STEPS]);
if (requested) {
try {
steps = await health.getTotalStepsInInterval(midnight, now);
} catch (error) {
print("Caught exception in getTotalStepsInInterval: $error");
}
print('Total number of steps: $steps');
setState(() {
_nofSteps = (steps == null) ? 0 : steps;
_state = (steps == null) ? AppState.NO_DATA : AppState.STEPS_READY;
});
} else {
print("Authorization not granted - error in authorization");
setState(() => _state = AppState.DATA_NOT_FETCHED);
}
}
Then I am calling this function with await and I also have inserted the correct permission in all Android Manifest files:
Also I set up an OAuth2 Client ID for the project and added my google account as a test user.
BUT THE FUNCTION SETS THE VARIABLE STEPS ALWAYS TO NULL? The boolean variable "requested" is true, so it seems like the actual connection is working?
I am really disappointed by myself guys and I really need help - THANK YOU!
I tried adding the correct android permissions, asking for permissions explicitly, different time intervalls but nothing worked for me, I always got a null value back.

Appium Android Automation

This may be simple question for the experts. I am a beginner in appium and all these days i have been trying to make my test script for printing a page title in my script. Here is the part of My code below: i am unable to print the page title and then do a validation. Can someone help?
driver = new AndroidDriver<WebElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
System.out.println(driver.getRemoteAddress());
}
public void ApkPushValidation() throws Exception {
Assert.assertEquals("Verify your phone number", driver.findElementByName("Verify your phone number").getText());
driver.wait(5000);
String i = driver.getTitle();
System.out.println(i);
if (driver.getTitle().equals("Verify your phone number") ) {
System.out.println("app installation is passed");
} else {
System.out.println("App installation is failed");
}
//System.out.println(i);---> my expectation is that this will print out Verify your Phone number. However this is not printing the page title.

Use UIAutomatorViewer to find out the xpath of the title.
use the following website for example on how to use the x-path. "http://software-testing-tutorials-automation.blogspot.ca/2015/10/ui-automator-viewer-get-android-app.html"

I think that driver.getTitle() is a method for Web page interaction, not meant for Native apps. I would suggest to use XPath or some other element locator to find the title.

Instead if getTitle(); try to use xPath, name or Id available for the title. Use Appium inspector or UI automator to locate that element and change it like this:
String i = driver.findElementById("Your ID").getText();
if (i.equals("Verify your phone number") ) {
System.out.println("app installation is passed");
} else {
System.out.println("App installation is failed");
}

What you probably what to perform should be done using the following piece of code :
WebElement title = driver.findElementByName("Verify your phone number"); // defining the element only once for multiple use
// different locator strategies could be used for locating the element above
Assert.assertEquals("Verify your phone number", title.getText());
driver.wait(5000);
String i = title.getText();
System.out.println(i);
if (i.equals("Verify your phone number") ) {
System.out.println("app installation is passed");
} else {
System.out.println("App installation is failed");
}
More on driver.getTitle() : It has been inherited from RemoteWebDriver and possibly should return the title of a webpage/webview instead of an native application view which seems to be your case.
Note: would add more to this about getTitle() as I get to know.

How to check if label of view exist in MonkeyTalk automated testing

I recently started writing a detail automated test script on MonkeyTalk for my application. I am fascinated with the power of this tool, but there is a small issue i am facing.
I am writing a data driven test case using csv file which is running file. But now I want to induct some verification on view, I believe that could be done using javascript but I couldn't be able to work it around. Can anyone show me how.
Here is what i am doing :
1) my script file to run the data driven test case for csv file
Script DataDrivenLogin.mt RunWith login.csv
2) my other script file where i am using the views
load("libs/MyApp.js");
MyApp.DataDrivenLogin.prototype.run = function(email, _password) {
/**
* #type MT.Application
*/
var app = this.app;
email = (email != undefined && email != "*" ? email : "<email>");
_password = (_password != undefined && _password != "*" ? _password : "<_password>");
app.image("email").tap();
app.input("Email Address").tap({timeout:"2000"});
app.input("Email Address").enterText(email, {timeout:"2000"});
app.input("Password").tap({timeout:"2000"});
app.input("Password").enterText(_password, {timeout:"2000"});
app.button("login").tap({timeout:"2000"});
try {
app.image("Open").verify(); //if label exists
} catch(Exception) {
app.debug().print("Label not found");
}
app.image("Open").tap({timeout:"2000"});
app.table("left_drawer").selectIndex("8", {timeout:"2000"});
app.button("Yes").tap({timeout:"2000"});
app.image("Open").tap({timeout:"2000"});
};
but it is not working my script is still breaking what I want to do is that if the view doesn't exists the script won't break and start from top again for next data value.
Help is much appreciated. Thanks!!!

As far as i understood the problem here, if label does not exist then this
app.image("Open").tap({timeout:"2000"});
will also break. Try to put this as well in try block.
As
........
app.input("Password").enterText(_password, {timeout:"2000"});
app.button("login").tap({timeout:"2000"});
try {
app.image("Open").verify(); //if label exists
app.image("Open").tap({timeout:"2000"});
} catch(Exception) {
app.debug().print("Label not found");
}
app.table("left_drawer").selectIndex("8", {timeout:"2000"});
app.button("Yes").tap({timeout:"2000"});
app.image("Open").tap({timeout:"2000"});

What does Device Id mean Azure Push Notifications in Xamarin Android? How to get it?

We are using Azure Mobile Services to Push notifications to a Xamarin Android and a Xamarin iOS and a Windows Universal App. The Windows Universal App has plenty of documentation around what we need, although we haven’t had a chance to implement it yet. However, both Xamarin Android and iOS are missing all documentation around Push Notifications. If you go to http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/services/mobile-services/ and select Xamarin Android or Xamarin iOS and .NET Backend there are zero links for documentation around these APIs. After digging around a ton yesterday I found this: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-dotnet-backend-xamarin-android-get-started-push/ and http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-dotnet-backend-xamarin-ios-get-started-push/ both which were last updated in September of last year. The documentation was promised to be updated over 5 months ago.
When I use the Xamarin Component from Microsoft for Azure Mobile Services: http://components.xamarin.com/view/azure-mobile-services/ I am able to get the MobileServiceClient up and running, but not the Push notifications.
The API:
Push pushManager = MobileService.GetPush();
string deviceId = "what is this???";
//Option 1:
pushManager.RegisterNativeAsync(deviceId);
//Option 2:
GcmRegistration googleNotificationRegistration = new GcmRegistration(deviceId);
pushManager.RegisterAsync(googleNotificationRegistration);
Documentation I’m using:
Push.RegisterAsync:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.mobileservices.push.registerasync.aspx
GcmRegistration: I can’t find any documentation for this class
Registration (Base class for GcmRegistration):
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.mobileservices.registration.aspx
Note: the parameter for Registration is not named deviceId it is named channelUri
Push.RegisterNativeAsync:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn643553.aspx
Note: the parameter of RegisterNativeAsync is not named deviceId it is named channelUri
My question is simple:
What is deviceId supposed to be? And how do I get it?
All the documentation above is for Winodws Universal Apps not for Xamarin Apps on Mono.
In the writing up of this question I have found articles about "Get Started with Notification Hubs":
Xamarin iOS - http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/partner-xamarin-notification-hubs-ios-get-started/
Xamarin Android - http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/partner-xamarin-notification-hubs-android-get-started/
Are these the example I should be using? They look old and the Android one mentions nothing about Azure Mobile Services. Should I not even be using the Azure Mobile Services Xamarin Component for Android?

tl;dr
deviceId should be just the GCMRegistrationId.
I looked into the source code of the implementations of the component DLLs and also Android SDKs.
Firstly, let's take a look to your option 1 and option 2 behind the scene. Basically both eventually do the same job of creating a GcmRegistration and passing it the internal RegistrationManager.
public Task RegisterAsync (Registration registration)
{
if (registration == null) {
throw new ArgumentNullException ("registration");
}
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace (registration.PushHandle)) {
throw new ArgumentNullException ("registration.deviceId");
}
return this.RegistrationManager.RegisterAsync (registration);
}
public Task RegisterNativeAsync (string deviceId, IEnumerable<string> tags)
{
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace (deviceId)) {
throw new ArgumentNullException ("deviceId");
}
GcmRegistration registration = new GcmRegistration (deviceId, tags);
return this.RegistrationManager.RegisterAsync (registration);
}
Then, one of the API calls that I can find involving the Registration.PushHandle (which is the deviceId you passed) is as below
public async Task<IEnumerable<Registration>> ListRegistrationsAsync (string deviceId)
{
MobileServiceHttpResponse mobileServiceHttpResponse = await this.client.HttpClient.RequestAsync (HttpMethod.Get, string.Format ("/push/registrations?deviceId={0}&platform={1}", new object[] {
Uri.EscapeUriString (deviceId),
Uri.EscapeUriString (Platform.Instance.PushUtility.GetPlatform ())
}), this.client.CurrentUser, null, true, null, MobileServiceFeatures.None);
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IEnumerable<Registration>> (mobileServiceHttpResponse.Content, new JsonConverter[] {
new RegistrationConverter ()
});
}
I have then switched to Android Mobile Services SDK to look for similar code to find some hints. Sadly, it is found called pnsHandle in android but still no hints what it is.
/**
* Registers the client for native notifications with the specified tags
* #param pnsHandle PNS specific identifier
* #param tags Tags to use in the registration
* #return The created registration
* #throws Exception
*/
public Registration register(String pnsHandle, String... tags) throws Exception {
if (isNullOrWhiteSpace(pnsHandle)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("pnsHandle");
}
Registration registration = PnsSpecificRegistrationFactory.getInstance().createNativeRegistration(mNotificationHubPath);
registration.setPNSHandle(pnsHandle);
registration.setName(Registration.DEFAULT_REGISTRATION_NAME);
registration.addTags(tags);
return registerInternal(registration);
}
Finally, I guess the below example code from http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-dotnet-backend-android-get-started-push/#update-app should be calling the same API which now explain everything, i.e. deviceId is just the GCMRegistrationId.
#Override
public void onRegistered(Context context, final String gcmRegistrationId) {
super.onRegistered(context, gcmRegistrationId);
new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
ToDoActivity.mClient.getPush().register(gcmRegistrationId, null);
return null;
}
catch(Exception e) {
// handle error
}
return null;
}
}.execute();
}

Create/Login User from a mobile device using Symfony2 and FOSUserBundle

Firstly, I want to create a user sending a post-request from my android app to the server, which uses Symfony2 and the FOSUserBundle.
Finally, I want to login a user from the mobile app and then communicate data with the server.
I know how to implement a post-request on the android-device. But I don't know how I need to configure the FOSUserBundle and security.yml etc to fit my needs. Although I might need a _csrf_token or something and I dont know where to get it from.
I already changed the authentication method from form_login to http_basic and think that this will be the easiest way of doing the authentication (using https to secure the passwords).
But now.. what do I need to do, to achieve the creating and logging in actions without forms? What do I need to put in the post-request on the mobile device?
Thanks for any ideas, comments and solutions!!

A late answer, but it might help.
I'm working on a similar situation and I got this:
In security.yml
security:
providers:
fos_userbundle:
id: fos_user.user_manager
firewalls:
main:
pattern: ^/
stateless: true
http_basic:
realm: "API"
access_control:
- { path: /, role: ROLE_USER }
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_OWNER: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: ROLE_ADMIN
In config.yml:
fos_user:
db_driver: orm
firewall_name: main
user_class: <your user class>
In my test-method:
Reference: Authentication for a Symfony2 api (for mobile app use)
public function testAuthentication()
{
$client = $this->createClient();
// not authenticated
$client->request('GET', '<url>');
$this->assertEquals(401, $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
// authenticated
$client->request('GET', '<url>', array(), array(), array(
'PHP_AUTH_USER' => '<username from your database>',
'PHP_AUTH_PW' => '<password>'
));
$this->assertEquals(200, $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
}
For communication with that API, I'd suggest cURL or Buzz
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Dieter

I had the same problem but I found the solution for registration : (the user enter the username , email and password)
In the UserController of your UserBundle (src/Project/UserBundle/Controller/DefaultController)
define a new function registerAction():
public function registerAction()
{
$user = new User();
$request = $this->getRequest();
$username = $request->request->get('username');
$password= $request->request->get('password');
$email= $request->request->get('email');
$factory = $this->get('security.encoder_factory');
$encoder = $factory->getEncoder($user);
$password = $encoder->encodePassword($password, $user->getSalt());
$user->setPassword($password);
$user->setUsername($username);
$user->setUsernameCanonical($username);
$user->setEmail($email);
$user->setEmailCanonical($email);
$user->setEnabled(true);
$user->setLocked(false);
$user->setExpired(false);
$user->setCredentialsExpired(false);
$em = $this->get('doctrine')->getEntityManager();
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
/* $response = new Response(json_encode(array('user' => $tes)));
$response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
return $response;*/
return new JsonResponse('good');
}
}
and don't forgot to import :
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Encoder\MessageDigestPasswordEncoder;
use Telifoon\UserBundle\Entity\User;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
in UserBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml add follwoing route:
inscription_post:
pattern: /v1/api/register
defaults: { _controller: ProjectUserBundle:Default:register }
requirements:
_method: POST
My entity ( src/Project/UserBUndle/Entity/User) is :
use FOS\UserBundle\Model\User as BaseUser;
/**
* User
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
// your own logic
}
}
If test the user is added correctely to my database :)
