arduino ADK + android LED blink example compiling errors - android

I'm trying to make a project using the arduino ADK board http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardADK and a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play running android 2.3.4. For starters all I want to do is blink a led from my android device, using the nice tutorial found here http://allaboutee.com/2011/12/31/arduino-adk-board-blink-an-led-with-your-phone-code-and-explanation/ .I managed to compile the android app but I'm having big difficulties on the arduino sketch, I can't resolve the imports and it won't compile on Windows7. I understand there are some arduino IDE version issues. I tried compiling both on 0022, 0023 and on 1.0. The furthest I could go with the code I was getting these compile errors after editing the AndroidAccessory.h:
D:\arduino-0023\libraries\AndroidAccessory/AndroidAccessory.h:37: error: 'EP_RECORD' does not name a type
D:\arduino-0023\libraries\AndroidAccessory/AndroidAccessory.h:50: error: 'EP_RECORD' has not been declared
D:\arduino-0023\libraries\AndroidAccessory/AndroidAccessory.h:50: error: 'EP_RECORD' has not been declared
D:\arduino-0023\libraries\AndroidAccessory/AndroidAccessory.h:64: error: 'USB_NAK_LIMIT' was not declared in this scope
I think I read the whole documentation and I can't find a solution to my problem. Setting this up is such a pain... I really need to make this work. Thank you in advance! :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT1: The solution which worked for me was to compile the sketch on Linux (Ubuntu)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT2: Once again using the newest USB library from arduino website the code DOESN'T compile. I tried compiling on IDE v22 and v1.0.2 running both Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.10 with the following errrors:
E:\Development\arduino-1.0.2\libraries\UsbHost/AndroidAccessory.h: In function 'void setup()':
E:\Development\arduino-1.0.2\libraries\UsbHost/AndroidAccessory.h:68: error: 'void AndroidAccessory::powerOn()' is private
sketch_jan10a:16: error: within this context
E:\Development\arduino-1.0.2\libraries\UsbHost/AndroidAccessory.h: In function 'void loop()':
E:\Development\arduino-1.0.2\libraries\UsbHost/AndroidAccessory.h:66: error: 'int AndroidAccessory::read(void*, int, unsigned int)' is private
sketch_jan10a:23: error: within this context

The library was written and tested in:
Arduino Alpha 0022
Have you tried adding this to ArduinoAccessory.h?
#if defined(ARDUINO) && ARDUINO >= 100
#include "Arduino.h"
#else
#include "WProgram.h"
#endif
Also I would recommend reading through this as well:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/adk.html#installing
It specifically mentions you need the CapSense library as well for the Android shield on an Arduino:
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/CapSense
It also mentions that you need to install avr-libc as well:
sudo apt-get install avr-libc
MAC OS X:
fink install avr-libc avr-gcc avr-binutils avrdude

EP_RECORD is defined as part of the USB Host Shield 1.0. However, it is being removed in USB Host Shield 2.0 library.
See the announcement here: http://www.circuitsathome.com/mcu/usb-host-shield-library-version-2-0-released
So the error messages you have with EP_RECORD will surface again if you ever upgrade to 2.0. Also check out the adk.h and adk.cpp from version 2.0 on GitHub. The updated DemoKit 2.0 example no longer use the AndroidAccessory.h/.cpp.

Sounds to me like you're just missing the USB_Host_Shield/Usb.h header, which defines those constants.

Place this code where other defines are in Usb.h
#define USB_NAK_LIMIT 32000 //NAK limit for a transfer. 0 means NAKs are not counted
Place this just after SETUP_PKT's typedef in Usb.h
/* Endpoint information structure */
/* bToggle of endpoint 0 initialized to 0xff */
/* during enumeration bToggle is set to 00 */
typedef struct {
byte epAddr; //copy from endpoint descriptor. Bit 7 indicates direction ( ignored for control endpoints )
byte Attr; // Endpoint transfer type.
unsigned int MaxPktSize; // Maximum packet size.
byte Interval; // Polling interval in frames.
byte sndToggle; //last toggle value, bitmask for HCTL toggle bits
byte rcvToggle; //last toggle value, bitmask for HCTL toggle bits
/* not sure if both are necessary */
} EP_RECORD;

I think if we really know what this EP_Record epRecord[8]; is all about that might help. EP_Record has not been declared in this file. Therefore, it does not have a type. When I gave USB_NAK_LIMIT a type of int that error went away. I have no idea what type to give to EP_Record? The only thing I can think of is that it might be an array epRecord[8]; looks like an array.
While the Android Developer's site is useful it does lack in many ways. One would be some online help for developers. This seems the be the only source for answers to questions and most of them do not really solve the problems.

This sounds kind of like a issue I had a while ago.
(so I used microbridge not the ADK with a USBDroid) I had to
go into 3 libraries, The error message pointed me to them
//(Note:Which were copied into the the general arduino sketch folder not the arduino normal libraries location) That may be your issue?)
I then replace wiring.h with Arduino.h in each.(Note Make a backup of all to save some stuffing around if this is not your issue) Copy then into a folder named the same but with a number before the name that way when you restart the arduino software you will get a error ignore this and compile.
The result was working USBdroid as seen at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7aa_6PNdRI
Still a Work in progress but made me happy. I still have a few buggs to work out.
Cheers,
Al

Install ArduinoADK BETA 001 which is the latest ADK available till date.
Unzip it and in the arduino folder you will find libraries and libraries-V2.
If you copy USB host in libraries you will get androidaccessory.h read private error
Copy USB host from libraries V 2 you should be able to compile successfully. I was.

API Change error when building AOSP 5.1

Currently trying to build android-5.1.0_r5. I've checked out the sources and made no modifications. However, when compiling I get the following error.

However, I cant figure out where those additional Public Fields are coming from. Any ideas?
Don't do 'make update-api' if you didn't touch anything. There additional apis came form frameworks/base/res/AndroidManifest.xml badly parsed by aapt that uses buggy system/core/libcore/String8.cpp##removeAll() they use memcpy but should be memmove for overlapping strings in memory.
This is issue on latest Debian (sid) or Ubuntu (16 maybe 15) build machines.
It's a google bug in libcore/String8.cpp. Fix is here:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/dd060f01f68ee0e633e9cae24c4e565cda2032bd

Living on the Edge (of Ubuntu) ... can be painful!
I've been running Ubuntu 15.04 for a while now. It's been great
having a very current kernel alongside the latest improvements from
Ubuntu and Debian. (My past post on using zRAM ramdisk is one
example).
However, having the newest greatest toys also has it's downsides. I
recently spent 4 days troubleshooting a build break in Android which
started some time after March 25th. I'm guessing I updated packages
or inadvertently changed my glibc version.
The outcome was a build error during the checkapi stage of Android
build:

This occurred on both of my Ubuntu 15.04 boxes and was present when
when build AOSP android-5.0.2_r1 and android-5.1.0_r1.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this portion of the Android
build, the Android framework exports all of the public portions of the
API and makes sure that the current build matches up with what's
located under frameworks/base/api/current.txt. It does this by
parsing frameworks/base/res/AndroidManifest.xml and any of the current
device's overlay .xml files and processes items marked with various
flags in the comments above them:#SystemApi, #hide, etc. This
parsing and processing portion of the checkapi stage is done by a
binary "aapt" (Android Asset Packagng Tool). It's source is located
under frameworks/base/tools/aapt.
I started by checking for upstream fixes to the platform/build or
platform/frameworks/base projects. After striking out, I began
debugging the android build via the use of: "make checkapi
showcommands" and then manually running the commands with "strace" to
see how each binary was involved and what output it generated.
After the first few hours of debugging, it became apparent that
out/target/common/obj/APPS/frameworks-res_intermediates/src/android/Manifest.java
file had comments which were being corrupted when aapt was generating
it. I was able to make some manual changes to the AndroidManifest.xml
file and get the build to pass (removing extra portions of the
comments).
Digging deeper via strace and then looking at various static link
sources, I found that during the AndroidManifest.xml comments
processing the #SystemApi token was being filtered out via a
String8.removeAll("#SystemApi") function call. Experimentally, I
removed this part of the processing. Lo and Behold! The build
worked. Taking a closer look at the removeAll function, I was able to
pin point a memcpy function as the part of the function which was
causing corruption.
I then researched memcpy a bit and noted that you are not supposed to
use memcpy on overlapping memory addresses, instead memmove was
preferred, because it makes a copy of the source prior to any changes
being made to the destination. After changing the use of memcpy to
memmove the build was fixed and all was well with the world!
As a good player in the open source world, I immediately thought I
should upstream this incredible feat of debugging to the master branch
of system/core. BUT, alas! The fix has been in the master branch
since November 11th 2014! And hasn't been brought into any of the
current development tags! grumble
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/dd060f01f68ee0e633e9cae24c4e565cda2032bd
I've since contacted the Google team about this change and let them
know of my experience in hopes that we may yet see this patch in
future release tags of Android.
Conclusion: apparently glibc is undergoeing some changes and some of
those have now filtered onto my Ubuntu boxes. Where previously the
memcpy usage was incorrect but still usable, it now causes the build
break I was seeing.
If you see this kind of error in your Android builds, and you're on a
newish version of Ubuntu or Debian distrobution, you may want to try
this simple patch and see if it helps.
Hash
Big up himself!
I do see the entries in my r8 code so you are probably safe running make update-api, and when that finishes then run your make command as normal.

Provisioning Nymi band from Android app

I am trying to provision the Nymi band from my android app. I am using the sample code from the Nymi Android SDK 2.0 (Can be downloaded from here:). I removed all the code related to the Nymulator(Nymi band emulator). I want to test the provisioning with the real Nymi band. However,when I click the provision button, the app get crashed. I tried to debug it with the exception breakpoints and I got the "getsockopt errno 88" error in my debugger:
I am attaching the screenshot too.
I did some research on google , and found that the errno 88 is
#define ENOTSOCK 88 /* Socket operation on non-socket */
During the app launch, I see the following message in the Debug Console:
Connected to the target VM, address: 'localhost:8604', transport: 'socket'
which I think,the connection to socket is fine. I am not sure,what makes the socket connection go wrong later.
This is what I see in my LOgCat after I click the provision button:(I am posting only some part of the error message,because the error message in Logcat is way too long)
Edit: I added some breakpoints,and I found where the app is crashing. I found this code:
try {
System.loadLibrary("_nymi_sdk_net");
_loaded = true;
} catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError var6) {
return false;
}
At system.load library, I am getting the error.
Edit 2: I changed the libraries from net to native ,as net is for emulators and native is for device. This time new error occurs at the same line:System.loadLibrary("_nymi_sdk");
Screenshot:
(Disclaimer: I know nothing of this SDK or the band, and this answer is just a speculation. And I've deleted my earlier answer as it was a missed shot in the dark.)
There is a minor hint in the SDK's README.md:
Prerequisites:
Android Development:
[...]
To use the BasicExample app with a Nymi Band, the NCL library in Examples\BasicExample\libs must be replaces with the native library in
NCL\native\libs
You must remove all files and folders from BasicExample\libs and copy all files from NCL\native\libs there instead.
(I wonder why they didn't emphasize this much harder...)
So the libs folder should contain the following folders and files:

android kernel build (first time)

Ok so first off,
Im brand new to android dev. This is my first attempt at any form of kernel anything. I have a limited knowledge of java and python, but no C.
I have a galaxy tab 4 sm-t330nu running 4.4.2. its running a qualcomm snapdragon 400 msm8226 cpu. im simply trying to do a test build with a vanilla kernel at this point. (also my build environment is the newest kali 1.1 and im loosely following the tutorial at https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki/Porting-Nethunter)
so i have all of the required dependencies (i hope), and ive downloaded my source from samsung opensource. unzipped and went through the available defconfigs. after finding "msm8226-sec_milletwifiue_defconfig" i decided it was the most likely candidate for my tablet. (when doing a custom recovery i remember it being "philz touch milletwifiue something)
Ive done my exports (arch= subarch= cross_compile=) and all seems well. When i run a build following exactly as the tutorial says (using the defconfig in their example as a test) i receive an error stating "must define variant_defconfig". So i instead do "make variant_defconfig=msm8974_sec_defconfig" and it builds great.
Now the issue:
When i change "msm8974_sec_defconfig" to my actual msm8226 i receive an error on every build that i cannot seem to workaround. (cut down for size)
CC arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.o
CC arch/arm/kernel/module.o
AS arch/arm/kernel/sleep.o
CC arch/arm/kernel/suspend.o
CC arch/arm/kernel/io.o
arch/arm/kernel/io.c: In function '_memcpy_fromio':
arch/arm/kernel/io.c:14:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'nop' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/io.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2
My exact bash line reads
make VARIANT_DEFCONFIG=msm8226-sec_milletwifiue_defconfig
Any assistance on clearing this up would be great
edit
although im not familiar with c, it seems to me that '_memcpy_fromio' is where the error lies. and my google searches tell me that the error is that a function is used without being declared. however i dont know if memcpy is a function? or is the function within class memcpy (dont know if c has classes just closest equivalent that i know of) how do i debug this code and declare what needs to be declared (more importantly, if this is a stock kernel thats used by thousands of devices, how can it possibly have an undeclared function?
/edit
found the answer! needed

Error while compiling libhardware_legacy

Two days ago i read some guides about how to self compile cyanogenmod and i wanted to try on my phone (Galaxy 3 i5800). The phone's CPU architecture is ARMV6 so i downloaded from androidarmv6.github.io the CyanogenMod 10.2 source code and from https://github.com/sdadier/cm10.1_device_samsung_apollo the device folder. At first compilation went pretty good except some "Selected Thumb mode not supported..." errors which i fixed by adding "-marm" CFLAG to involved Android.mk . However now i'm stuck on libhwardware_legacy compilation because i keep getting the error:
target thumb C: libhardware_legacy <= hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c: In function 'update_ctrl_interface':
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c:473:5: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c: In function 'wifi_start_supplicant':
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c:835:4: error: expected identifier before 'unsigned'
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c:895:20: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c:912:26: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
I searched on Google what that meant and i found lots of thread about this here on StackOverflow and on some Linux forums but none of them referred to Android, Cyanogen or libhardware_legacy. Is it a problem with my system? There is an error in the code (code here)?
Please give me some suggestion
OK! To fix the issue i removed "const prop_info *pi" and added this instead:
struct prop_info{
unsigned serial;
};
struct prop_info *pi;
but i think that if the system compiles it's not going to boot. However i will try to dump the libhardware_legacy from who compile CM10.1 successfully since the code is the same.
UPDATE: I probably found the main issue. The same error came up again and now there are 7 of them and the problem is that they are in the init so i can't workaround. However i noticed that wifi.c and property_service.c have an header in common sys/_system_properties.h probably the main error is there somewhere. Someone has a solution for this?

Problems with build.xml when using the Android ADK to communicate with an Arduino Mega ADK

So a few days ago I got my hands on an Arduino Mega ADK board, and the last couple of nights I have been setting up my development environment, getting to grips with the tools etc. The tools and libraries all work fine, for example I can get a program written in the Processing IDE to compile and run on an Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 running Android 4.03. But when I get it to try to compile and run one of the pre-written examples, it gives me a compiler error:

Total time: 7 seconds
And that's all the console seems to output as well, which is rather frustrating! As far as I'm aware all of my SDK versions, tools and plugins are all up to date. I've tried this using a Linux partition I have on my hard drive and it produces the same error message, although it mentions a problem with the package com.Android.future.UsbAccessory. Given what I've seen, it seems that the problem is with the tools, either my directory structure doesn't match up to what the correct setup is, or something else is wrong :S. If anyone has had similar problems, some help would be smashing! (For the record, my setup was done using the instructions on the Arduino website, although I already had the Android SDK tools installed).

It sounds like your haven't added in the support library to your project and/or you haven't downloaded it into your Android SDK.
The ADK1 demokit app targets API Level 10 (Android 2.3.3); That means you need to use the support libraries in your project and that's why the compiler is complaining about level 10 library dependencies not being available. The support libraries are a separate download in the SDK Manager, so you might not have them in your development environment.
In Android API Level 12 and higher, the USB Accessory protocol was added to the framework API, so there are two different ways to use the accessory protocol. So, you don't have to use the support libraries if you are targeting Honeycomb and higher versions, but you'll have to update the demokit app code to make this work.
Hope this helps.
So I've double checked my setup and started working on a project I had in mind, it seems to import the libraries appropriately. So far so good, but when I input:
ArduinoAdkUsb arduino;
void setup() {
arduino = new ArduinoAdkUsb(this);
//Other UI initialisation etc.
}
I get this error:

After the app has been built and installed onto the Android tablet I am using. Any thoughts how I can over come this? From what I can tell, this has no problem finding com.android.future.usb.manager to compile and install the program, but once it tries to run it can find it.
Based on this tutorial from http://stream.tellart.com/controlling-arduino-with-android/
In the examples RGB_Arduino the name, version and author variables are set at the top of the sketch.
Try adding in this section of code at the top of your arduino sketch just underneath the library imports
// accessory descriptor. It's how Arduino identifies itself to Android
char applicationName[] = "Mega_ADK"; // the app on your phone
char accessoryName[] = "Mega_ADK"; // your Arduino board
char companyName[] = "Freeware";
// make up anything you want for these
char versionNumber[] = "1.0";
char serialNumber[] = "1";
char url[] = "http://labs.arduino.cc/adk/"; // the URL of your app online
//initialize the accessory:
AndroidAccessory usb(companyName, applicationName,
accessoryName,versionNumber,url,serialNumber);
