I am trying to write a python (sockets) based server and an Android client, but while
sending data from the server to the client, the client doesn't receive any data. The server receives data from the client.
I think that the problem is possibly with the emulator, and not with the server because I did established a connection and the messages from the server may be blocked by the emulator's firewall.
Here is the code:
Client:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Thread Thread1 = null;
EditText etIP, etPort;
TextView tvMessages;
EditText etMessage;
Button btnSend;
String SERVER_IP;
int SERVER_PORT;
Boolean done = false;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
etIP = findViewById(R.id.etIP);
etPort = findViewById(R.id.etPort);
tvMessages = findViewById(R.id.tvMessages);
etMessage = findViewById(R.id.etMessage);
btnSend = findViewById(R.id.btnSend);
Button btnConnect = findViewById(R.id.btnConnect);
btnConnect.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
done = false;
tvMessages.setText("");
SERVER_IP = etIP.getText().toString().trim();
SERVER_PORT = Integer.parseInt(etPort.getText().toString().trim());
Thread1 = new Thread(new Thread1());
Thread1.start();
}
});
btnSend.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String message = etMessage.getText().toString().trim();
if (!message.isEmpty()) {
if(! done) {
String android_id= Settings.Secure.getString(MainActivity.this.getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
new Thread(new Thread3(android_id)).start();
done = true;
}
new Thread(new Thread3(message)).start();
}
}
});
}
private PrintWriter output;
private BufferedReader input;
class Thread1 implements Runnable {
public void run() {
Socket socket;
try {
socket = new Socket(SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT);
output = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
tvMessages.setText("Connected\n");
}
});
new Thread(new Thread2()).start();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
class Thread2 implements Runnable {
#Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
try {
final String message = input.readLine();
if (message != null) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
tvMessages.append("server: " + message + "\n");
}
});
} else {
Thread1 = new Thread(new Thread1());
Thread1.start();
return;
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
class Thread3 implements Runnable {
private String message;
Thread3(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
#Override
public void run() {
output.write(message);
output.flush();
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
tvMessages.append("client: " + message + "\n");
etMessage.setText("");
}
});
}
}
}
Server:
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen()
conn, addr = s.accept()
with conn:
print('Connected by', addr)
while True:
data = conn.recv(1024)
if not data:
break
conn.sendall(data)
Thanks
This unidirectional behaviour, client -> server works, where as server -> client does not, is caused by the fact that the emulator is NAT-ed and most likely you have to set a rule to forward the inbound traffic (from a localhost port) to a local port of the emulator.
More info and examples here.
I am working on an instant chat application.My problem is that when i am sending message through my chat application,Message is displayed two times instead of one.Screen shot is given below :
As you can see in the acreenshot that the message hiii is displayed two times but i have sent only once.

Message is stored in the Bean and Bean is added in the ArrayList .Now i am notifying my adapter that the ArrayList is updated using adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() method.But the problem is List view is displaying my sent message two times.Please help me to solve the issue .
I have a problem in change a text of a textview in android, i'm starting in android, ok I want do a chat with sockets, I made the socket and connected on server but i can't change the text of the textview, ok this is the code:

Thread th =new Thread(new Ct());
Log.d("Iniciado", "th");

First of all, you cant set text inside thread, you have to ovveride runOnUiThread method and try to set text in this method.
public class Ct extends Thread implements Runnable{
#Override
public void run() {
try {
cl = new Socket(ip_txt, 1111);
envMSG(nome_txt);
do{
String tx = serOUT();
if (tx != null) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
texto += tx + "\n";
log.setText(texto);
envMSG("ola");
}
});
}
Log.d("Status",cl.isClosed()+"");
this.sleep(10);
}while (true);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Thread b = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
location = relocation();
//log("location success");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
b.start();
b.join();
if (location.y>0)
{
location_home.x = 4.5f;
location_home.y = 4.5f;
location_home.theta = (float)Math.PI;
} else
{
location_home.x = -4.5f;
location_home.y = -4.5f;
location_home.theta = 0;
}
I used b.join() to wait a time until var location receive value from relocation to define value for location_home. But its wrong. thread b and if statement running simultaneously. Help me :( tks all
i think it would be good if you use Asyntask in this case:
private class YourThread extends AsyncTask {
#Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object[] params) {
try {
location = relocation();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Object o) {
super.onPostExecute(o);
//log("location success");
if (location.y > 0) {
location_home.x = 4.5f;
location_home.y = 4.5f;
location_home.theta = (float) Math.PI;
} else {
location_home.x = -4.5f;
location_home.y = -4.5f;
location_home.theta = 0;
}
}
}
and use it :
new YourThread().execute();
Hi and thank you for looking at my question.
I am an intermediate programmer in C but an Android newbie. I have been trying to get a chat programming working. Assuming everything else in the code below works perfectly. The one question I like to ask is when I try to setText() from a thread running, I get an exception above. I looked at many many websites and here too. Found many things, but I really do not understand. Please explain to me in the most simple way or offer me some simple fix if possible.
Thank you very much!!

In your run() method:
Message msg = new Message();
String textTochange = "text";
msg.obj = textTochange;
mHandler.sendMessage(msg);
Create the mHandler in your UI thread;
Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
String text = (String)msg.obj;
//call setText here
}
};
You are not on the UI thread when setting the text. You need to be on UI if you want to work on UI items. Create a message handler on the UI thread, post your messages to it and call setText from the handler on the UI thread.
you can do this whenever you are in a thread:
msgToServer.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
msgToServer.setText("your text here");
}
}
Your problem is that there are certain interactions that you can only do on the UI thread. This is one of them.
Looks like you might want to use AsyncTask
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html
Basically you could make your Runnable an AsyncTask instead and do the setText in onProgressUpdate, which gets run on the UIThread.
If you would like to use an AsyncTask to run in the background this is how I would do it:
public class UpdateTextProgress_Task extends AsyncTask<Void,String,Void> {
Socket socket;
EditText chatFromServer;
UpdateTextProgress_Task(EditText chatFromServer, Socket socket){
this.socket = socket;
this.chatFromServer = chatFromServer;
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String str = "FIRSTMESSAGEFROMSERVER";
while(true){
if (str.equals("FIRSTMESSAGEFROMSERVER")){
str = in.readLine();
}
else{
str = str + "\n" + in.readLine();
}
Log.e("TCP", "got the message: " + str);
publishProgress(str); // calls the onProgressUpdate method
}catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("UpdateTextProgress", e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
chatFromServer.setText(progress[0]); //now we are on the UI thread so we can update our EditText
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Log.e("UpdateTextProgress", "Finished");
}
}
To execute the code:
UpdateTextProgress_Task task = new UpdateTextProgress_Task(chatFromServer,socket);
task.execute();
