Unity app calling jar only once on the first android build

Looking at my debug message in Terminal using $ adb logcat -s "app" and $ adb logcat -s Unity, I have noticed that my JAR file is only consulted once when I first build my app to Android (.APK) but every time afterward that I just run my app, the plug-in JAR file is not consulted. Why is that?
public class MyClass
{
public static void MyMethod()
{
Log.i("app", "MyMethod entered");
if (blah)
{
Log.d("app", "If entered");
}
else
{
Log.e("app", "Else entered");
}
blah
}
}
Using $ adb logcat -s "app" I see Log.i and Log.d messages, and below in my Unity3D code, I see the Debug.Log message using $ adb logcat -s Unity
public class MyUnityClass : MonoBehaviour
{
public static void MyUnityMethod()
{
#if UNITY_ANDROID
try
{
using ( AndroidJavaObject androidJavaObject = new AndroidJavaObject("com.example.unityplugin.MyClass") )
{
if (androidJavaObject != null)
{
androidJavaObject.CallStatic("MyMethod");
Debug.Log("androidJavaObject != null SUCCESS!");
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.LogException(e);
}
#endif
}
}
Every time I run my app on the tablet, a script calls MyUnityMethod() which in turn calls MyMethod() of my JAR, but after the first build, I never see those debug messages again...

You have to use AndroidJavaClass instead of AndroidJavaObject. Also, don't create and destroy the Object each time. Don't enclose the code with the using statement. Just declare the variable as a global variable then re-use it.
Java:
public class MyClass
{
public static void MyMethod()
{
Log.i("app", "MyMethod entered");
}
}
C#:
AndroidJavaClass customClass;
void Start()
{
//Replace with your full package name
customClass = new AndroidJavaClass("com.example.unityplugin.MyClass");
//Call function
MyMethod();
}
public void MyMethod()
{
customClass.CallStatic("MyMethod");
}
If you need the MyMethod function to be static then make the customClass variable static too:
C#:
static AndroidJavaClass customClass;
void Start()
{
//Replace with your full package name
customClass = new AndroidJavaClass("com.example.unityplugin.MyClass");
//Call function
MyMethod();
}
public static void MyMethod()
{
customClass.CallStatic("MyMethod");
}

QR code reader to extract data

i have a sales summary print out and has a QR Code ,
i want to develop an app (IOS and android) that reads the QR code , extract all information,do some calculations,and display in specific form , i tried zxing library but it did not extract all information from the receipt.any tip?

You can use google vision API to achieve this. I personally used this and found it great. The below code snippets should help you.
Put this below line in the gradle.
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'
Use BarcodeDetector and CameraSource classes to capture the QR code on real time and decode it.
barcodeDetector.setProcessor(new Detector.Processor<Barcode>() {
#Override
public void release() {
}
#Override
public void receiveDetections(Detector.Detections<Barcode> detections) {
final SparseArray<Barcode> barcodes = detections.getDetectedItems();
if (barcodes.size() != 0) {
barcodeInfo.post(new Runnable() { // Use the post method of the TextView
public void run() {
barcodeInfo.setText( // Update the TextView
barcodes.valueAt(0).displayValue
);
}
});
}
}
});
Use a SparseArray to fetch the detections and the displayValue of the elements of this sparse array returns the deocded string.
After extracting the string one can do anything, be it displaying the string or make some calculation out of it etc.

This library is the most popular and easiest of reading QR codes in your Android application.
You should also have a look at the Wiki section of this library for learning about how to integrate this library into your Android Application and how to use this library.
This is how you can use this library.
1. Add this library to your project by adding following line into your dependencies inside build.gradle(Module: app) file
compile 'com.github.nisrulz:qreader:2.0.0'
2. Then, after syncing project files, add the SurfaceView element provided by this library into your XML layout file.
<SurfaceView
android:id="#+id/camera_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
3. Declare the SurfaceView & QREader inside your Activity's Java file & then initialize it inside onCreate() method.
class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
private SurfaceView mySurfaceView;
private QREader qrEader;
#Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Setup SurfaceView
// -----------------
mySurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.camera_view);
// Init QREader
// ------------
qrEader = new QREader.Builder(this, mySurfaceView, new QRDataListener() {
#Override
public void onDetected(final String data) {
Log.d("QREader", "Value : " + data);
text.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
text.setText(data);
}
});
}
}).facing(QREader.BACK_CAM)
.enableAutofocus(true)
.height(mySurfaceView.getHeight())
.width(mySurfaceView.getWidth())
.build();
}
4. Initialize it inside onResume()
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
// Init and Start with SurfaceView
// -------------------------------
qrEader.initAndStart(mySurfaceView);
}
There are many more possibilities you can do with this library, so I recommend you to visit the GitHub repository and check it out. It's worth a shot!

I follow the tutorial for setting up LVL as a library project and those imports seem to be ok.
Why do I get this error? Why can it not find the inner class? If I right click and say show definition it jumps to the inner class.

I had same problem.
Below steps solved the probelm
take standard library example
coppied the library.jar file from the library project into your libs folder

So this SO Answer is what fixed it
I created a folder called libs and coppied the library.jar file from the library project included in the licensing package downloaded with the manager
What I dont understand is per this answer this should have been done for me
As I am using ADT 20.0.3
Basically it comes down to an example that I downloaded directly from android and got stuck for a few hours trying to figure out what was wrong and this seems like this step should have been in the readme/help docs OR Im doing something wrong.
If you know why this is the answer and how to do it better please answer and Ill change the answer to yours.

I had the exact same exception and none of the above recommendations worked for me.
However I got mine working by ensuring that your LVL project is a library project (right click project -> properties -> android and tick the "Is Libary" checkbo).
To include this in your application project remove any other references to this and apply the changes. Then if not already there navigate to (right click application project --> properties --> android) and in the library section click Add and select your LVL project. Apply Changes. Ok and clean project.
Hope this helps someone.

PayPal Integration with Android

I have seen some related questions but none focusing on the specific problem I have:
I'm using the PayPal MPL Library.
I build my PayPalPayment object, then create the activity for the checkout to occur. That runs fine. My problem is, on the ResultDelegate I need to call a function from my activity, that occurs after the payment and makes some changes (such as storing SharedPreferences, etc.).
So something like this:
public class ResultDelegate implements PayPalResultDelegate, Serializable {
public void onPaymentSucceeded(String payKey, String paymentStatus) {
System.out.println("SUCCESS, You have successfully completed your transaction.");
System.out.println("PayKey: "+payKey);
System.out.println("PayStatus: "+paymentStatus);
callMyCustomAfterPaymentFunction();
}
...
}
Now the thing is, I tried to create a constructor for ResultDelegate that accepts my activity. My existing code is:
//On the activity class
public class MainMenuActivity extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
...
Button buy = (Button) findViewByID(R.id.buy_button);
buy.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v)
{
new PurchaseTask(activity).execute();
}
}
}
}
public class PurchaseTask extends AsyncTask <String, Void, String> {
protected String doInBackground()
{
...
PayPal pp = PayPal.getInstance();
CheckoutButton cb = pp.getCheckoutButton(...);
cb.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
ResultDelegate delegate = new ResultDelegate(myActivity);
Intent checkout = PayPal.getInstance().checkout(paument, activity, delegate);
activity.StartActivity(checkoutIntent);
}
}
}
}
//On the ResultDelegate class
public class ResultDelegate implements PayPalResultDelegate, Serializable {
private Activity myActivity;
public void onPaymentSucceeded(String payKey, String paymentStatus) {
System.out.println("SUCCESS, You have successfully completed your transaction.");
System.out.println("PayKey: "+payKey);
System.out.println("PayStatus: "+paymentStatus);
myActivity.performAfterPaymentOperations();
}
...
}
So the goal is to call the activity function from the ResultDelegate. Or even simpler, just to be able to store some SharedPreference changes when the ResultDelegate onPaymentSucceeded() fires.
But I get a NotSerializableException mentioning that the my MyActivity field is not Serializable.
So, then I added the transient identifier to my activity field inside the ResultDelegate, but now I get a NullPointerException.

Paypal Mobile Chekout guide
Implementation provided on paypal website is different from yours. They are doing startActivityForResult() to start PaypalActivity. and when in onActivityResult() method they are checking statusCode to check transaction status and act accordingly.
Follow that document for your implementation.
Here in your code, I donot find a point for using AsyncTask. Your ResultDelegate is Serializable where as Activity is not thats why it is throwing NotSerializableException.
Edit:
As you are developing for Google Android platform, then why not to use Google Checkout In-App?
Edit:
This method will be called when your PaypalActivity will finish. That activity will pass resultCode to this onActivityResult method.
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
// The payment succeeded
String payKey = data.getStringExtra(PayPalActivity.EXTRA_PAY_KEY);
// Tell the user their payment succeeded
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
// The payment was canceled
// Tell the user their payment was canceled
break;
case PayPalActivity.RESULT_FAILURE:
// The payment failed -- we get the error from the EXTRA_ERROR_ID
// and EXTRA_ERROR_MESSAGE
String errorID = data.getStringExtra(PayPalActivity.EXTRA_ERROR_ID);
String errorMessage = data
.getStringExtra(PayPalActivity.EXTRA_ERROR_MESSAGE);
// Tell the user their payment was failed.
}
}

You can create you custom listener something like this :
Create a custom listener :
OnDoubleTap mListener;
// Double tap custome listenre to edit photoes
public interface OnDoubleTap {
public void onEvent(Uri imgPath, int mPos);
}
public void setDoubleTapListener(OnDoubleTap eventListener) {
mListener = eventListener;
}
Now call this wherever you want like this :
mListener.onEvent(Uri, 1));
Now whenever you call this listener this will fire in your activity where you use this listener like this :
myCanvas.setDoubleTapListener(new OnDoubleTap() {
#Override
public void onEvent(Uri imgPath, int Pos) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(mContext, "LISTENER WORKING !!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
Where myCanvas is object of class where you create you listener.

Try this solution:
PayPalPayment thingToBuy = new PayPalPayment(new BigDecimal(price),getResources().getString(R.string.curruncy_code), getResources().getString(R.string.app_name),
PayPalPayment.PAYMENT_INTENT_SALE);
Intent intent = new Intent(CreateEventStep4.this, PaymentActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(PaymentActivity.EXTRA_PAYMENT, thingToBuy);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_PAYPAL_PAYMENT);
PaymentConfirmation confirm = data.getParcelableExtra(PaymentActivity.EXTRA_RESULT_CONFIRMATION);
if (confirm != null) {
try {
Log.e("paymentExample", confirm.toJSONObject().toString());
JSONObject jsonObj=new JSONObject(confirm.toJSONObject().toString());
String paymentId=jsonObj.getJSONObject("response").getString("id");
System.out.println("payment id:-=="+paymentId);
screenShotFile = takeScreenshot(frmTemplate);
uploadImage(myEvent.getEvent_id(),screenShotFile);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("paymentExample", "an extremely unlikely failure occurred: ", e);
}

get access to com.android.internal.telephony.Call

I need to get access to com.android.internal.telephony.Call.
doing so:
// Initialize the telephony framework
PhoneFactory.makeDefaultPhones (this);
// Get the default phone
Phone phone = PhoneFactory.getDefaultPhone ();
CallManager mCM = CallManager.getInstance ();
mCM.registerPhone (phone);
Call call = mCM.getFirstActiveBgCall();
but does not extend to initialize the framework.
Help me to initialize Call.
I need to read the state of the call like:
IDLE, ACTIVE, HOLDING, DIALING, ALERTING, INCOMING, WAITING, DISCONNECTED, DISCONNECTING.

You need to make use of PhoneStateListener
It will provide you the facility to have your application listen for different state of a phone call. You will need to put <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/> in your manifest file

You can but there is a critical requirement: the application must be signed at system level, meaning you are the manufacturer.
Here is how you write a Service that will broadcast an intent for every change in the foreground call state.
/*
* This implementation uses the com.android.internal.telephony package: you have
* to extract the framework classes .jar file from the platform (or the
* emulator) to compile this code. Also, add the jar file to the external
* libraries in the Java Build Path/libraries of the android project. </p>
*
* The jar file must match the android version you are building the application
* for. Because this implementation is using the internal packages it cannot be
* guaranteed to operate on later versions of android.
*/
public class CallStateNotificationService extends Service {
private static final String LOG_TAG = CallStateNotificationService.class.getSimpleName();
private Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.handleMessage(msg);
if (msg.what == 101) {
CallManager callManager = CallManager.getInstance();
Call.State state = callManager.getActiveFgCallState();
Intent intent = new Intent(PhoneIntents.ACTION_PRECISE_CALL_STATE);
intent.putExtra(PhoneIntents.PRECISE_CALL_STATE, state.name());
Context context = getApplicationContext();
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
}
}
};
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
try {
CallManager callManager = CallManager.getInstance();
if (callManager != null) {
callManager.registerForPreciseCallStateChanged(mHandler, 101, null);
} else {
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Can't resolve CallManager reference"); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
CallManager callManager = CallManager.getInstance();
if (callManager != null) {
callManager.unregisterForPreciseCallStateChanged(mHandler);
} else {
Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Can't resolve CallManager reference"); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
}
And here is the definition of the custom broadcasted intents.
/** Intent action and extra argument names for CallStateNotificationService */
public final class PhoneIntents {
public static final String ACTION_PRECISE_CALL_STATE = "com.myorg.myapp.CALL_STATE";
public static final String PRECISE_CALL_STATE = "precise_call_state";
}
To have this code compile and link, you of course need to either build the program as part of the android distribution itself or import the class-framework by a method explained elsewhere on the Internet.
All of this is currently in an app under production.
