Android Studio: Bluetooth Low Energy BLE Advertisements

on line 370 i need a way to look for a string of 'f's' in the advertisement data from a TI CC2650. I found this template online but I'm looking for specific advertising data. Please let me know what string array I need to look at to find this.

I have followed this tutorial (http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/840623/Android-Character-Recognition) but probably I forgot something due to the lack of my knowledge with Android

That if(context == null || bmp == null) is not needed, as you already tested those values with instanceof.
But I'm guessing your main problem is passing this from Fragment as Activity parameter, which is not.
To fix.. I overall would try to not toss Activity pointer around wildly, as those have quite limited life cycle on android. I have an app with tess-two and I don't recall ever needing Activity to init it (although usually I init it from native C++, so YMMV).
Isn't just the Context needed for that call? If yes, I would suggest to move to getApplicationContext() value instead. I think this is directly or indirectly accessible from Fragment too.
Sorry for not trying your code, but this is something you can debug quite easily.
One more note to android and tesseract usage. What is Tools.getFocusedBitmap? Will it cut down the pic reasonably? If it keeps full size, and your Camera is set to full size, you are tossing around 5-10+MP Bitmaps around, which in Android means to hit Out-Of-Memory (OOM) almost instantly. Either set Camera to reasonably low resolution, or cut-out designed part of photo ASAP and drop the whole Image, ideally as first step of processing.
Also you may want to reconsider whole tess-two thing, and try the official Google Text API from Google play services.

It's brand new addition, inside I guess it will use the second generation of Tesseract engine with latest improvements, so very likely to get better results and better speed, than from tess-two.
I think it's accessible only from Android 4.4 and only on devices with Google Play Services, and cross-platform sucks, so I'm staying with tess-two in my projects - as I have to support also iOS and Windows Phone.
And generally I don't believe things which don't come with source along, SW without source is zombie, already dead while you are using it (will take at most 30-50y to die), and it's a waste of time and skill of those programmers.

Android FTP Server

I am using the following code to make the android device a ftp server (Android Internal storage). I am getting the exception of os.android.NetworkOnMainThread. I have tried to put the onStart code in the AsyncTask but app never executes and crashes on launch. Any help regarding the ftp server on Android will be great as i have no idea how to get it working.
Here is the MainActivity Code
package com.googlecode.simpleftp;
import java.io.IOException;

public class FTPServer extends Activity {
private static int COMMAND_PORT = 2121;

private static ExecutorService executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

return true;
case R.id.quit:
System.out.println("Quit button is pressed!");
showDialog(DIALOG_ALERT_ID);
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); }
}
#Override

builder.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?")
.setCancelable(false).setPositiveButton("yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){

HEre is the ServerPI Code

reply(220, "Welcome to the SimpleFTP server!");
while((line = in.readLine()) != null){

return;
}
}
}

I have put the code in the AsyncTask, here it is
private class LongOperation extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
ServerSocket s = null;
Socket incoming = null;
try{
s = new ServerSocket(COMMAND_PORT);
String ip = (s.getInetAddress()).getHostAddress();
Context context = this.getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = ip;
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_LONG;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
Thread.sleep(1000);
toast.show();
while(true){
incoming = s.accept();
executor.execute(new ServerPI(incoming));
}
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
try
{
if(incoming != null)incoming.close();
}
catch(IOException ignore)
{
//ignore
}
try
{
if (s!= null)
{
s.close();
}
}
catch(IOException ignore)
{
//ignore
}
}
return "Executed";
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
}
}
Iam calling the longOpertation in onCreate method. What is the problem that the app crashes on launch.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fullscreen);
new LongOperation().execute();
}

Maybe because you didn't set up the permissions in the manifest? You've to set permission for internet usage.
If this doesn't work, please tell us which line is it throwing the exception.

while(true){ incoming = s.accept(); ...} You cannot put that in OnStart(). That should be done in a thread. So ServerSocket s = null; should be a variable of you activity.

So I went with Swiftp application (open source) as a service in my application which helped me to achieve my task. Thanks everyone who stepped forward to help. Here is the link if someone wants to follow

Please post your code here.
NetworkOnMainthreadException occurs because you maybe running Network related operation on the Main UI Thread. You should use asynctask for this purpose
This is only thrown for applications targeting the Honeycomb SDK or higher. Applications targeting earlier SDK versions are allowed to do networking on their main event loop threads, but it's heavily discouraged.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/NetworkOnMainThreadException.html
class TheTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>
{
protected void onPreExecute()
{ super.onPreExecute();
//display progressdialog.
}
protected void doInBackground(Void ...params)//return result here
{
//http request. do not update ui here
//call webservice
//return result here
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result)//result of doInBackground is passed a parameter
{
super.onPostExecute(result);
//dismiss progressdialog.
//update ui using the result returned form doInbackground()
}
}
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html. Check the topic under the heading The 4 Steps.
A working example of asynctask # To use the tutorial in android 4.0.3 if had to work with AsynxTasc but i still dont work?.
The above makes a webserive call in doInBakckground(). Returns result and updates the ui by setting the result in textview in onPostExecute().

You can not do network operation in main thread in android 3.0 higher. Use AsyncTask for this network operation. See this for further explanation

Flash/Flex developer here starting to get in to Android development, I must admit I am loving it so far, but obviously taking a long time to work out why things happen the way they do.
So the problem I have is that my app crashes without an Internet connection - The application (process.testing) has stopped unexpectedly. This only happens when there is no internet connection and works perfectly if there is one. The only part of my code that accesses the Internet is in a try catch block, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong or how I can handle the error when there is no Internet connection available?

You can use this function to see if a connection is available :
/**
* Check the network state
* #param context context of application
* #return true if the phone is connected
*/
public static boolean isConnected(Context context) {
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnected()) {
return true;
}
return false;
}

When you have no internet connection, doc is probably null and you get NullPointerException because you don't check this case:
Document doc = null;
try {
// connect throws an exception, doc still null
doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.mydata.html").get();
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.success, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.error, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
// dereferencing null (doc) throws NullPointerException
Elements rows = doc.select("tr[class]");

Multiple bluetooth socket connect/close operations reboot android phones

We are using android phones to communicate with sensors via bluetooth. The phone needs to connect the sensor periodically to collect physiological data and between two connections the sensors can be switched off automatically to save power.
Now the problem is: after around 500 times, the system reboots. We then wrote a small piece of test program to simulate the whole process. The small test program, too, crashes the android phone.
Can anybody please help me on this ? Thanks! Here is the small test program.

This is a bug I reported a while back regarding failed bluetooth connects (512 to be exact) and a memory leak leading to "referencetable overflow. I'll dig up the link when I'm back at my PC =)
Link: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8676
Solution: avoid failed bluetooth connects by performing a Bluetooth discovery first to see if the device is in range. If so, cancel discovery and connect to it.
