Printing integer values in a textview and thread sleep time

How do I print integer values in a textview and also when I increasing the sleep time in the thread its not working correctly in android.
package com.example.chaljayar;
import java.util.concurrent.Delayed;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements Runnable
{
TextView Tv;
int num = 0, i = 0;
String con = "";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.Text);
Thread test = new Thread(this);
test.start();
}
#Override
public void run()
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
while(i <= 100)
{
try{
con += Integer.toString(i);
Tv.setText(con);
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (Exception e)
{
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
i++;
}
}
}

Try this To Thread alone and the other out of (try/catch) :
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

DatagramSocket.receive only receives the first two Datagrams

I am sending some data to an android application over UDP. Therefore i created the following UDPReceiver-Class:
package com.example.urowatch;
import java.net.*;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.io.*;
public class UDPReceiver extends Thread
{
private DatagramSocket m_Socket;
private int m_BufferSize;
private Boolean m_End = false;
private int m_TotalLength;
private int m_Received;
private byte[] m_Buffer;
private byte[] m_Result;
private Boolean m_IsNewResult = false;
private float m_Progress;
private int m_ImageCount = 0;
private int m_FrameErrors = 0;
public UDPReceiver(String name, int port, int bufferSize) throws IOException
{
super(name);
m_Socket = new DatagramSocket(port);
m_BufferSize = bufferSize;
m_Socket.setBroadcast(true);
m_Socket.setReceiveBufferSize(m_BufferSize);
}
public void run()
{
while(!m_End)
{
try
{
byte[] buf = new byte[m_BufferSize];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
m_Socket.receive(packet);
ProcessData(packet);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
if (!m_Socket.isClosed())
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
private void ProcessData(DatagramPacket packet)
{
if (packet.getLength() == 4)
{
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(packet.getData());
m_TotalLength = bb.getInt();
if (m_Received != 0)
m_FrameErrors++;
m_Received = 0;
m_Buffer = new byte[m_TotalLength];
}
else if (m_Buffer != null && m_Received != m_TotalLength)
{
int length = packet.getLength();
System.arraycopy(packet.getData(), 0, m_Buffer, m_Received, length);
m_Received += length;
m_Progress = 100 * (float)m_Received/(float)m_TotalLength;
if (m_Received == m_TotalLength)
{
m_Result = new byte[m_TotalLength];
System.arraycopy(m_Buffer, 0, m_Result, 0, m_TotalLength);
m_IsNewResult = true;
m_ImageCount++;
m_Received = 0;
}
}
}
public Boolean IsNewResult()
{
return m_IsNewResult;
}
public byte[] GetResult()
{
m_IsNewResult = false;
return m_Result;
}
public float GetProgress()
{
return m_Progress;
}
public float GetRatio()
{
return 100 * (float)m_ImageCount / (float)m_FrameErrors;
}
public void stopServer()
{
m_End = true;
if (m_Socket != null)
m_Socket.close();
}
}

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.

My application isn't working smoothly

Load record at scrolllistview

Ok,
So first you'll have to define "what is the number of views I'd need to load in order my user not to see that it's lazy loading ?" :
Let's say, you'd want to load 20 rows...
Now in you onscroll, or wherever you want but somewhere like on scroll or Adapter.getView, you'll have to know what is displayed on screen at the moment... Let me explain :
I want to load 20 rows so my user doesn't notice,
I am display 10 of them
and 10 of them are just hidden (not displayed if the guy doesn't scroll).
Now, I wan't to load 10 more when the guy just hit my 15th row
What could be the best way to do that ???
Humm, let's see, trying to find something that returns the (ABSOLUTE) number of the last row displayed on screen - this could be a nice solution.
An otehr solution could be that your 10 or 15th row is the first one displayed on screen ?
etc, etc...
I think stuffs like that should do the trick. ;)

Here is a sample I grabbed from Net. It is loading the items by listening to the Scroll of the ListView . For sample it is loading dates in ListView. After reached the end position it will load next 15 dates. It is Never Ending List . You can modify the adapter to your custom adapter. The concept is:
You have set of data
Loading first n no of items
Set the scroll listener to the listview
If scroll reaches Last Visible Item in Listview , You trigger the worker thread to load additional m no of items.
Notify listview from an UI thread.
int itemsPerPage = 15;
boolean loadingMore = false;
ArrayList<String> myListItems;
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
//For test data :-)
Calendar d = Calendar.getInstance();
this.getListView().setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener(){
//useless here, skip!
#Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {}
#Override
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
//what is the bottom item that is visible
int lastInScreen = firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount;
//is the bottom item visible & not loading more already ? Load more !
if((lastInScreen == totalItemCount) && !(loadingMore)){
Thread thread = new Thread(null, loadMoreListItems);
thread.start();
}
}
});
//Load the first 15 items
Thread thread = new Thread(null, loadMoreListItems);
thread.start();
}
//Runnable to load the items
private Runnable loadMoreListItems = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Set flag so we cant load new items 2 at the same time
loadingMore = true;
//Reset the array that holds the new items
myListItems = new ArrayList<String>();
//Get 15 new listitems
for (int i = 0; i < itemsPerPage; i++) {
//Fill the item with some bogus information
myListItems.add("Date: " + (d.get(Calendar.MONTH)+ 1) + "/" + d.get(Calendar.DATE) + "/" + d.get(Calendar.YEAR) );
// +1 day :-D
d.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
}
//Done! now continue on the UI thread
runOnUiThread(returnRes);
}
};
//Since we cant update our UI from a thread this Runnable takes care of that!
private Runnable returnRes = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Loop thru the new items and add them to the adapter
if(myListItems != null && myListItems.size() > 0){
for(int i=0;i<myListItems.size();i++)
adapter.add(myListItems.get(i));
}
//Update the Application title
setTitle("Neverending List with " + String.valueOf(adapter.getCount()) + " items");
//Tell to the adapter that changes have been made, this will cause the list to refresh
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
//Done loading more.
loadingMore = false;
}
};

You can get tutorial and full project here

Why is this app running slow?

Why does this app stop answering then I press play? It sometimes show a "the application is not responding" but it works if I wait.
It works nice on my emulator, but not on my phone (or any other phone I tried).
All it does is streaming sound.

If your application uses internet, it is possible, that the phone has worse connection than your comp. For example, if they both run on the SAME WiFi, at the same point, phones are connected MUCH worse than PC. Slower connection - you have to wait...
Read http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/design/responsiveness.html and http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/design/performance.html - VERY useful. For example, you will know the name of your problem - bad responsiveness (not performance) - for better further searches. :-)

All long-lasting tasks should be run in separate thread, not in UI thread. You call getFileFromUrl(..) from onCreate(..) method. This cause hangings.
I recommend you not to do any time consuming task in onCreate(..) method. In general an activity won't be shown till onCreate(..) is finished.

You are using getFileFromUrl in your onCreate method. Your method just performs the download action, which in case could last some time. You should always move long running tasks into it's own thread and notify the UI thread only.
Consider never running big logic in the UI thread, the UI thread should only be responsible for UI stuff.
To download a file in an async manner try to use the AsyncTask: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html

This code works, without responsiveness problems. But the buffering takes to long time so I need another solution.
I'm posting some code if someone else have the same problem

I believe it has something to do with the progress bar you use. I use one and it slows my app. Not sure if the progress bar must slow the app or there is another way to avoid this though.
