android turn screen off and on - android

I've made a simple application to turn the screen on and off once a button is pressed, the code does not present any error but it doesn't do anything. Here is the code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#SuppressLint("Wakelock")
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(screenWakeLock));
if (screenWakeLock != null) {
if(screenWakeLock.isHeld())
Log.d(TAG, "wavelock held");
screenWakeLock.release();
screenWakeLock = null;
}else{
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
screenWakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "screenWakeLock");
screenWakeLock.acquire();
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(screenWakeLock));
}
}
});
}
and the permissions in the manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DEVICE_POWER"></uses-permission>
There's no error, but nothing happens on the screen. Does anyone know why?
Thank you in advance!

In another question:
Programmatically switching off Android phone
I found a way that works. After rooting you phone:
try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime()
.exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", "reboot -p" });
proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

time out issues with Android Multicast

I am working on an Android app that will receive multicast packets from a network that already outputs reliable multicast data on 239.255.x.x . I have verified that my device can receive multicast with another application. I'm new to Java and Android but I did confirm that my original code to gather the Multicast info worked in a java application and have been struggling to get everything working in the Android side of things. I have permissions set in the manifest,
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
the networking portion of code runs in an Asynctask as to not crash the app but my Multicast.receive() calls all result in a time out.Is there something else I am missing or something that prevents multicast sockets from working in the asynctask class?
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final Button button = findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
new getACN.execute();
}
});
}
public class getACN extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
#Override
public String doInBackground(Void... Void) {
byte[] buf = new byte[1000];
try {
WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
MulticastLock multicastLock = wifiManager.createMulticastLock("sACN");
multicastLock.acquire();
InetAddress group = InetAddress.getByName("239.255.0.3");
DatagramPacket recv = new DatagramPacket(buf,buf.length);
MulticastSocket sock = new MulticastSocket(5568);
sock.joinGroup(group);
sock.setSoTimeout(1000);
sock.receive(recv);
sock.leaveGroup(group);
} catch (IOException e) {
return e.getMessage();
} catch (SecurityException e) {
return e.getMessage();
}
return Arrays.toString(buf);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result){
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text01);
textView.setText(result);
}
}
}

How to stop a currently executing command

int count = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start);
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
String[] cmd = new String[] { "logcat", "-f",Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/log.txt", "-v", "time" };
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
thread.start();
}
});
Button stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stop);
stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -d");
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
Button addLog = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addLog);
addLog.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.e("logTag", Integer.toString(count));
count ++ ;
}
});
}
I want to start saving my app's log using start button and stop it using stop.
The addLog button is used to see if more lines are being added to log.txt file.
The start button works properly but the problem is it never ends with stop.
Even after pressing stop, when I press addLog button and check the log.txt
file, I see last lines have been added.
What is my fault ?
I need to start the stream, close this activity and take a tour in other activities then come back and shut the logging machine down.
Yes you can achieve that by saving the Process in a variable that is returned by the Runtime's exec() method and call destroy() on that variable.
public abstract void destroy ()
Terminates this process and closes any associated
streams.
Let's record the Process as a global variable;
private Process p;
and when executing it
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
and this how it's stopped.
void stopProcess() {
if (p != null) {
p.destroy();
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "stopProcess: p==null");
}
}
Just use #hegazy method and save reference to process in your Application class. Don't forget to register it in your manifest. Hope you've got my idea.
Something like that:
((App)getApplicationContext).process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
and than take this when you need it:
((App)getApplicationContext).process.exec("logcat -d");

How to turn wifi off and on progarmatically? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Android: How to Enable/Disable Wifi or Internet Connection Programmatically
(10 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am designing an app which needs to turn off and then on with in one/two seconds (at first installation (only once) ). Is there anyway to do this automatically by programming.
Is there any problem to other apps in same mobile if we turn off wifi for 1 sec like is it affects any downloads from other app?
try {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start_wifi);
stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stop_wifi);
start.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) MainActivity.this
.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if (!wifi.isWifiEnabled()) {
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Turn ON WIFI",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
stop.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) MainActivity.this
.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if (wifi.isWifiEnabled()) {
wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Turn OFF WIFI",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.v("MainActivity Exception", Log.getStackTraceString(e));
}
}
In Manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

Screen lock on button click

I want to turn the android screen on button click,Now i had written a program for this in is not showing any errors also its not working..
The code for this is..
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button powerOff;
int amountOfTime =20*1000;
Context context = this;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
powerOff = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
powerOff.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
PowerManager.WakeLock mWLock;
try {
System.out.println("Enter try Block");
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
mWLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK |
PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP |
PowerManager.ON_AFTER_RELEASE, "WakeLock");
mWLock.acquire();
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("ScreenLock", "onStart()::acquire() failed " + e.toString());
}
}
});
}
I want to lock the screen and how can i do it???
Use the following code
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "My Tag");
wl.acquire();
in activity you have to release wake lock
wl.release();
use the following permission in manifest
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"
I guess you have added permission
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"

Trouble in Enabling and Disabling services in Android

I am new to Android development and have trouble enabling / disabling the wifi & audio services. I get the appropriate manager instance using the getSystemService method. But I don't get any error when enabling wifi using:
wifiMgr.setWifiEnabled(true);
But the wifi is simply not turned on! Similarly I use
mAudio.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
or
mAudio.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
But the phone doesn't go to silent mode! Here is my complete code:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
try{
final ToggleButton bt = (ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.bluetooth_button);
final ToggleButton wf = (ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.wifi_button);
final ToggleButton sb = (ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.sound_button);
// Check Audio
AudioManager mAudio = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Activity.AUDIO_SERVICE);
soundStatus = mAudio.getRingerMode();
if(soundStatus == AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL)
sb.setChecked(true);
// Check WiFi
WifiManager wifiMgr = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifiStatus = wifiMgr.isWifiEnabled();
if(wifiStatus)
wf.setChecked(true);
sb.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.result);
AudioManager mAudio = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Activity.AUDIO_SERVICE);
if(sb.isChecked()) {
mAudio.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
tv.setText("Ringer set to Normal");
} else {
mAudio.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
tv.setText("Ringer set to Silent");
}
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
bt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.result);
if(bt.isChecked())
tv.setText("Bluetooth is On!");
else
tv.setText("Bluetooth is Off!");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
wf.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.result);
WifiManager wifiMgr = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if(wf.isChecked()) {
wifiMgr.setWifiEnabled(true);
tv.setText("Wifi is On!");
} else {
wifiMgr.setWifiEnabled(false);
tv.setText("Wifi is Off!");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I have added the following permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
I am using Motorola milestone (android 2.1).. What Am I missing? can anybody point me what is wrong with this code?
Thanks in Advance for suggestions and corrections.
The Issue was solved by added more permissions!
For people who are facing the same issue, you will have to add the following permissions as well:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"></uses-permission>
Now, In addition to these I needed Audio and Bluetooth access. for that I had to add:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
