Many other methods in web service are used throughout the app and work just fine. Only one method in particular is giving trouble. When the method is invoked directly from browser, result is pretty instantaneous, so the web service itself seems to be fine. But when a breakpoint is placed on the line where the service is consumed for this particular method, everything freezes for about 1.5 to 2 minutes. Switched to async version of method and stopped the app from freezing, but the results of the method are not in the SQL database for the same 1.5 to 2 minutes. This method worked just fine up until a couple days ago and then suddenly started behaving this way.

inst.saveImage is a void that runs a SQL stored procedure that simply updates the line of the contract with the base64 encoded string containing values from the camera intent.

I think this may have been device specific. Have used on other devices since and seems to work ok.

In my app i have started download service,it is working fine in background.During download my testing team doing force stop and clear data or Uninstall.But After uninstall or clear data still my Download service is running in background.During download i have installed the same app again but it is misbehaving some thing.While uninstall or clear data or force stop i have to cancel the download How?

You must use a Service.
In the Service's onDestroy(), you can write the code to finish the DownloadManager.
The Service will be killed before the app is about to uninstall.
This way the Download will stop.
Take a look at the remove() method of the DownloadManager.
It says:
public int remove (long... ids) Added in API level 9
Cancel downloads and remove them from the download manager. Each
download will be stopped if it was running, and it will no longer be
accessible through the download manager. If there is a downloaded
file, partial or complete, it is deleted. Parameters ids the IDs of
the downloads to remove Returns
the number of downloads actually removed
Edit
To intercept your application uninstall take a look at this answer.
We have an app in the Google Play Store that runs in the foreground continuously. The devices that it runs on are out of our control and are not rooted. They run on either Android 4.2 or 4.4.
Our goal is to have the app update to the newest version that we release via the Play Store without user interaction. Restarting the device would be the only acceptable "interaction" option.
We find that a running app does not updated automatically when it is running even if the "automatic update" is turned on.
What is the way to achieve our goal?
Use an Alarm Manager to scheduled your update and then use a create a class and extend the service or IntentService class. Check if theres an internet connection if yes proceed to update like this: Check this link Android Services - Tutorial In this way you can update even not showing your Activity by using service.
Creating the Alarm Manager:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
// Start every 30 seconds
alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), 30*1000, pintent);
For service:
public class DownloadService extends IntentService {
private int result = Activity.RESULT_CANCELED;
public static final String URL = "urlpath";
public static final String FILENAME = "filename";
public static final String FILEPATH = "filepath";
public static final String RESULT = "result";
public static final String NOTIFICATION = "com.vogella.android.service.receiver";
public DownloadService() {
super("DownloadService");
}
// will be called asynchronously by Android
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
String urlPath = intent.getStringExtra(URL);
String fileName = intent.getStringExtra(FILENAME);
File output = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
fileName);
if (output.exists()) {
output.delete();
}
InputStream stream = null;
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(urlPath);
stream = url.openConnection().getInputStream();
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
fos = new FileOutputStream(output.getPath());
int next = -1;
while ((next = reader.read()) != -1) {
fos.write(next);
}
// successfully finished
result = Activity.RESULT_OK;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (stream != null) {
try {
stream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (fos != null) {
try {
fos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
publishResults(output.getAbsolutePath(), result);
}
private void publishResults(String outputPath, int result) {
Intent intent = new Intent(NOTIFICATION);
intent.putExtra(FILEPATH, outputPath);
intent.putExtra(RESULT, result);
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
}
This code is able to make the android device as a USB host for the hardware model. It also can read data from the hardware correctly in Main Activity. However, as soon as I moved it to another activity, everything still works but the data reading is incorrect.
For instance, I'm trying to write the data read into file. First activity is to input filename and just a button to send to another activity. The code below is in the second activity
public class Temp extends Activity {
private FileOutputStream outputStream;
public static D2xxManager ftD2xx= null;
Handler mHandler = new Handler();
FT_Device ftDev = null;
int devCount = 0;
UsbDevice device = null;
TextView Text =null;
String temp = null;
_4DPoint P = null;
int rd = 0;
byte[] byt = null;
byte[] Fdata = null;
String outp = "";
String From_Serial = "";
int Min = -1;
String fileName;
Context c;
final Runnable updateResults = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Text.setText("" + Min + '\n' + temp);
}
};
public void getData(){
try {
outputStream = openFileOutput(fileName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
byt = new byte[256];//{(byte)'a','b','c','d',};
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "start " + fileName , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test2);
device = (UsbDevice) getIntent().getParcelableExtra("USB");
ftD2xx = D2xxManager.getInstance(c);
ftD2xx.addUsbDevice(device);
devCount = ftD2xx.createDeviceInfoList(c);
if (devCount > 0) {
ftDev = ftD2xx.openByUsbDevice(c, device);
}
if( ftDev.isOpen() == true ) {
ftDev.setBitMode((byte)0 , D2xxManager.FT_BITMODE_RESET);
ftDev.setBaudRate(38400);
ftDev.setDataCharacteristics(D2xxManager.FT_DATA_BITS_8, D2xxManager.FT_STOP_BITS_1, D2xxManager.FT_PARITY_NONE);
ftDev.setFlowControl(D2xxManager.FT_FLOW_NONE, (byte) 0x0b, (byte) 0x0d);
Thread t = new Thread() {
public void run() {
int i;
while(true){
rd=0;
while (rd==0){
rd = ftDev.read(byt, 14);
}
for(i=0; i<rd; i++)
outp += (char)byt[i];
From_Serial = new String(outp);
P = new _4DPoint(From_Serial);
temp = String.format("%s: %f %f %f %f %d\n", From_Serial, P.R, P.G, P.B, P.L, P.camera);
try {
outputStream.write(temp.getBytes());
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
outp = "";
mHandler.post(updateResults);
}
}
};
t.start();
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (D2xxException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_color);
// Show the Up button in the action bar.
setupActionBar();
Intent intent = getIntent();
fileName = intent.getStringExtra("File Name");
c = this;
getData();
}
The set up should be fine since it's reading data from hardware, but the data read is incorrect.
Also, I'm wondering why we need to create new thread while reading data. I tried not creating new thread and it didn't work well, but still have no idea why? I tried to contact the person who wrote the code to read data but no reply.
Any help would be really appreciated :)
You state that you receive data, therefor I think you should look at your ftDev settings. Try for example to set ftDev.setBaudRate(115200) (this worked for me) or try playing with your other ftDev Settings a little bit.
The settings I use in my programm are:
int baudRate = 115200;
byte stopBit = 1; /*1:1stop bits, 2:2 stop bits*/
byte dataBit = 8; /*8:8bit, 7: 7bit*/
byte parity = 0; /* 0: none, 1: odd, 2: even, 3: mark, 4: space*/
byte flowControl = 1; /*0:none, 1: flow control(CTS,RTS)*/
If this won't work, it is wise to first check this data communication with a computer program e.g. or to analyse the incomming 'wrong' data.
My app is a Wifi chat app with which you can communicate between two Android units with text messages and snap camera pictures and send them. The pictures are stored to the SD-card.
I used to have an OutOfMemoryError thrown after a couple of sent images, but I solved that problem by sending the
options.inPurgeable = true;
and
options.inInputShareable = true;
to the BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray method. This makes the pixels "deallocatable" so new images can use the memory. Thus, the error no longer remains.
But, the internal memory is still full of images and the "Low on space: Phone storage space is getting low" warning appears. The app no longer crashes but there's no more memory on the phone after the app finishes. I have to manually clear the app's data in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
I tried recycling the bitmaps and even tried to explicitly empty the app's cache, but it doesn't seem to do what i expect.
This function receives the picture via a TCP socket, writes it to the SD-card and starts my custom Activity PictureView:
public void receivePicture(String fileName) {
try {
int fileSize = inStream.readInt();
Log.d("","fileSize:"+fileSize);
byte[] tempArray = new byte[200];
byte[] pictureByteArray = new byte[fileSize];
path = Prefs.getPath(this) + "/" + fileName;
File pictureFile = new File(path);
try {
if( !pictureFile.exists() ) {
pictureFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
pictureFile.createNewFile();
}
} catch (IOException e) { Log.d("", "Recievepic - Kunde inte skapa fil.", e); }
int lastRead = 0, totalRead = 0;
while(lastRead != -1) {
if(totalRead >= fileSize - 200) {
lastRead = inStream.read(tempArray, 0, fileSize - totalRead);
System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, pictureByteArray, totalRead, lastRead);
totalRead += lastRead;
break;
}
lastRead = inStream.read(tempArray);
System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, pictureByteArray, totalRead, lastRead);
totalRead += lastRead;
}
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(pictureFile));
bos.write(pictureByteArray, 0, totalRead);
bos.flush();
bos.close();
bos = null;
tempArray = null;
pictureByteArray = null;
setSentence("<"+fileName+">", READER);
Log.d("","path:"+path);
try {
startActivity(new Intent(this, PictureView.class).putExtra("path", path));
} catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
catch(IOException e) { Log.d("","IOException:"+e); }
catch(Exception e) { Log.d("","Exception:"+e); }
}
Here's PictureView. It creates a byte[ ] from the file on the SD-card, decodes the array to a Bitmap, compresses the Bitmap and writes it back to the SD-card. Lastly, in the Progress.onDismiss, the picture is set as the image of a full screen imageView:
public class PictureView extends Activity {
private String fileName;
private ProgressDialog progress;
public ImageView view;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
Log.d("","onCreate() PictureView");
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
view = new ImageView(this);
setContentView(view);
progress = ProgressDialog.show(this, "", "Laddar bild...");
progress.setOnDismissListener(new OnDismissListener() {
public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
File file_ = getFileStreamPath(fileName);
Log.d("","SETIMAGE");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(file_.toString());
view.setImageURI(uri);
}
});
new Thread() { public void run() {
String path = getIntent().getStringExtra("path");
Log.d("","path:"+path);
File pictureFile = new File(path);
if(!pictureFile.exists())
finish();
fileName = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
Log.d("","fileName:"+fileName);
byte[] pictureArray = new byte[(int)pictureFile.length()];
try {
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream( new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream(pictureFile)) );
for(int i=0; i < pictureArray.length; i++)
pictureArray[i] = dis.readByte();
} catch(Exception e) { Log.d("",""+e); e.printStackTrace(); }
/**
* Passing these options to decodeByteArray makes the pixels deallocatable
* if the memory runs out.
*/
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPurgeable = true;
options.inInputShareable = true;
Bitmap pictureBM =
BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(pictureArray, 0, pictureArray.length, options);
OutputStream out = null;
try {
out = openFileOutput(fileName, MODE_PRIVATE);
/**

**/
pictureBM.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
pictureBM = null;
progress.dismiss(); }
catch (IOException e) { Log.e("test", "Failed to write bitmap", e); }
finally {
if (out != null)
try { out.close(); out = null; }
catch (IOException e) { }
} }
}.start();
}
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
Log.d("","ONSTOP()");
Drawable oldDrawable = view.getDrawable();
if( oldDrawable != null) {
((BitmapDrawable)oldDrawable).getBitmap().recycle();
oldDrawable = null;
Log.d("","recycle");
}
Editor editor =
this.getSharedPreferences("clear_cache", Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
editor.clear();
editor.commit();
}
}
When the user presses the back key, the picture isn't supposed to be available anymore from within the app. Just stored on the SD-card.
In onStop() I recycle the old Bitmap and even try to empty the app's data. Still the "Low on space" warning appears. How can I be sure the images won't allocate the memory anymore when they're not needed?
EDIT: It appears the problem is the compress method. If everything after compress is commented, the problem remains. If I delete compress, the problem disappears. Compress seems to allocate memory that's never released, and it's 2-3 MB per image.
Ok, I solved it. The problem was, I was passing an OutputStream to compress, which is a stream to a private file in the app's internal memory. That's what I set as the image later. This file is never allocated.
I didn't get that I had two files: one on the SD-card and one in the internal memory, both with the same name.
Now, I'm just setting the SD-card file as the ImageView's image. I never read the file into the internal memory as a byte[], thus never decoding the array to a bitmap, thus never compressing the bitmap into the internal memory.
This is the new PictureView:
public class PictureView extends Activity {
public ImageView view;
private String path;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
Log.d("","onCreate() PictureView");
path = getIntent().getStringExtra("path");
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
view = new ImageView(this);
setContentView(view);
Uri uri = Uri.parse( new File(path).toString() );
view.setImageURI(uri);
}
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
Log.d("","Back key pressed");
Drawable oldDrawable = view.getDrawable();
if( oldDrawable != null) {
((BitmapDrawable)oldDrawable).getBitmap().recycle();
oldDrawable = null;
Log.d("","recycle");
}
view = null;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
Is it bad practice to put an external file as the image of an ImageView? Should I load it into internal memory first?
If you specifically want the image to be nullified from memory for sure when a user presses back you could override the back button and make your image clean up calls there. I do that in some of my apps and it seems to work. maybe something like this:
#Override
protected void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
view.drawable = null;
jumpBackToPreviousActivity();
}
Im pretty sure there are some view methods that clear other caches and things like that. You can recycle the bitmap but that doesnt guarantee that it will be dumped right then but only at some point when the gc gets to it.....but Im sure you probably know that already :)
EDIT: You could also do the same thing in the onPause method. That one is guaranteed to get called. The other two may never get called according to the android docs.
