ACRA 4.9.0 : How can I write ACRA report to file (in Application data folder)

I want to write the crash report in text file using latest Acra 4.9.0.
I can,t example for this latest version.
I tried using available documentation.
Acra is enabled
but it,s not writing in the file.

Because i was using jar file instead of aar
in my manifest i was missing
<service
android:name="org.acra.sender.SenderService"
android:exported="false"
android:process=":acra" />
enter code here
That,s why SendeService used in Acra was not starting.

I want to write in application data folder
That is called internal data

file = loc;

String result;
private static String mainLoad(String fn, Context c){
String collected = null;
try{

while(fis.read(dataArray) != -1){

I want to write the crash report in text file using latest Acra 4.9.0. I can,t example for this latest version.
If you want to write to a .txt file on server, try this backend. Uses the default sender:
<?php
// Outputs all POST parameters to a text file. The file name is the date_time of the report reception
$fileName = date('Y-m-d_H-i-s').'.txt';
$file = fopen($fileName,'w') or die('Could not create report file: ' . $fileName);
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
$reportLine = $key." = ".$value."\n";
fwrite($file, $reportLine) or die ('Could not write to report file ' . $reportLine);
}
fclose($file);
?>
If you only want to write locally, then the point of ACRA disappears as you cannot get the files.
If you create .txt files to transmit them, it is actually better to use the backend I linked. It transmits the raw data, and you can get all your fields in a .txt file

Savings on internal storage android

I'm having some kind of logical problem with my code for saving on internal storage.
I created two methods in the class pet for load and save where I'm trying to save and load an instance of pet. I don't get any error messages in logcat, but nothing is saved when I quit and then open the application again.

You are saving the wrong object. Your code saves a Context and tries to reload it as a Pet.
Instead of
savedPet.writeObject(context.getApplicationContext());
you should be doing
savedPet.writeObject(this);

toast mesage not shown on screen when network or server not available

AgAppHelperMethods isn't really an Activity. You've derived this class from Activity, but then you've created Singleton management methods (getInstance()) and you are instantiating it yourself. This is bad. Don't do this.
Normally Android controls the instantiation of activities. You don't ever create one yourself (with new).
It looks to me like AgAppHelperMethods just needs to be a regular Java class. It doesn't need to inherit from anything. Remove also the lifecycle methods like onCreate().
Now you will have a problem with the toast, because you need a context for that and AgAppHelperMethods isn't a Context. To solve that you can add Context as a parameter to AgAppXMLParser() like this:
public String[][] AgAppXMLParser(Context context, String parUrl) {
...
// Now you can use "context" to create your toast.
}
When you call AgAppXMLParser() from AgAppMenu just pass "this" as the context parameter.

Customize the android maps places?

I want show the maps of my places, based on a selection of area like business,favorites, etc.
I am using the following intent for search and display the result in the maps in Android
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps"));
startActivity(intent);
When I click the maps place as favorites it shows that place in my places.
How can I divide the places based on category in Android?

You should use the place api for getting the selection of area.
Step by step,
How to get the list of nearest place of a location.
Step 1 : Go to API Console for obtaining the Place API
https://code.google.com/apis/console/
and select on services tab
on the place service
now select API Access tab and get the API KEY
now you have a API key for getting place
Now in programming
*Step 2 * : first create a class named Place.java. This class is used to contain the property of place which are provided by Place api.
package com.android.code.GoogleMap.NearsetLandmark;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
public class Place {
private String id;
private String icon;
private String name;
private String vicinity;
private Double latitude;
private Double longitude;
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getIcon() {
return icon;
}
public void setIcon(String icon) {
this.icon = icon;
}
public Double getLatitude() {
return latitude;
}
public void setLatitude(Double latitude) {
this.latitude = latitude;
}
public Double getLongitude() {
return longitude;
}
public void setLongitude(Double longitude) {
this.longitude = longitude;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getVicinity() {
return vicinity;
}
public void setVicinity(String vicinity) {
this.vicinity = vicinity;
}
static Place jsonToPontoReferencia(JSONObject pontoReferencia) {
try {
Place result = new Place();
JSONObject geometry = (JSONObject) pontoReferencia.get("geometry");
JSONObject location = (JSONObject) geometry.get("location");
result.setLatitude((Double) location.get("lat"));
result.setLongitude((Double) location.get("lng"));
result.setIcon(pontoReferencia.getString("icon"));
result.setName(pontoReferencia.getString("name"));
result.setVicinity(pontoReferencia.getString("vicinity"));
result.setId(pontoReferencia.getString("id"));
return result;
} catch (JSONException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Place.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return null;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Place{" + "id=" + id + ", icon=" + icon + ", name=" + name + ", latitude=" + latitude + ", longitude=" + longitude + '}';
}
}
Now create a class named PlacesService
package com.android.code.GoogleMap.NearsetLandmark;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import android.util.Log;
public class PlacesService {
private String API_KEY;
public PlacesService(String apikey) {
this.API_KEY = apikey;
}
public void setApiKey(String apikey) {
this.API_KEY = apikey;
}
public List<Place> findPlaces(double latitude, double longitude,String placeSpacification)
{
String urlString = makeUrl(latitude, longitude,placeSpacification);
try {
String json = getJSON(urlString);
System.out.println(json);
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(json);
JSONArray array = object.getJSONArray("results");
ArrayList<Place> arrayList = new ArrayList<Place>();
for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++) {
try {
Place place = Place.jsonToPontoReferencia((JSONObject) array.get(i));
Log.v("Places Services ", ""+place);
arrayList.add(place);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
return arrayList;
} catch (JSONException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(PlacesService.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return null;
}
//https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=28.632808,77.218276&radius=500&types=atm&sensor=false&key=your_api_key
private String makeUrl(double latitude, double longitude,String place) {
StringBuilder urlString = new StringBuilder("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?");
if (place.equals("")) {
urlString.append("&location=");
urlString.append(Double.toString(latitude));
urlString.append(",");
urlString.append(Double.toString(longitude));
urlString.append("&radius=1000");
// urlString.append("&types="+place);
urlString.append("&sensor=false&key=" + API_KEY);
} else {
urlString.append("&location=");
urlString.append(Double.toString(latitude));
urlString.append(",");
urlString.append(Double.toString(longitude));
urlString.append("&radius=1000");
urlString.append("&types="+place);
urlString.append("&sensor=false&key=" + API_KEY);
}
return urlString.toString();
}
protected String getJSON(String url) {
return getUrlContents(url);
}
private String getUrlContents(String theUrl)
{
StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
try {
URL url = new URL(theUrl);
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()), 8);
String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
{
content.append(line + "\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return content.toString();
}
}
Now create a new Activity where you want to get the list of nearest places.
