How to get every time messages from service to activity using runOnUiThread - java

I have been stuck with one problem. I need some people which check a part of my code and help me with problem and critize my code (I write code but I haven't people which can say this is wrong or something in this pattern)
Generally.
My service get message from bluetooth (HC-05) and I can see values in Log.d, in service.
A part code of my service which get message.
private class ConnectedThread extends Thread{
private final BluetoothSocket bluetoothSocket;
private final InputStream inputStream;
private final OutputStream outputStream;
public ConnectedThread(BluetoothSocket socket){
Log.d(TAG,"ConnectedThread: Starting");
bluetoothSocket=socket;
InputStream tmpInput = null;
OutputStream tmpOutput = null;
try{
tmpInput = bluetoothSocket.getInputStream();
tmpOutput = bluetoothSocket.getOutputStream();
}catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
active=false;
}
inputStream=tmpInput;
outputStream=tmpOutput;
}
#Override
public void run() {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytes;
while(active){
try {
bytes = inputStream.read(buffer);
final String comingMsg = new String(buffer,0,bytes);
Log.d(TAG,"InputStream: " + comingMsg);
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Message message = new Message();
message.obj = comingMsg;
message.what = 1; // I need it to prevent NullObjReference
Log.d(TAG,"Handler run(): " + message.obj);
mHandler.sendMessage(message);
}
});
}catch (IOException e){
Log.e(TAG,"Write: Error reading input." + e.getMessage());
active=false;
break;
}
}
}
...some code is hidden because it is diploma thesis
}
The problem is get message every time from this service to another activity where all is happen.
I tried a lot of things (with Threads,Looper,runOnUiThread, handleMessage and callback), checked a lot of posts in stackoverflow and I tried to combine with my project but all time I had nullobjectreference (for that i tried to use msg.what to check) , black screen when tried to move to my home activity (it is main) and update my textView or typical crash app.
Now I want only to get message from service to textview. When everything starts working fine, I want to parse string (for example 3 first chars) and send message to one of six textviews.
A part of codes from onCreate before method runThread() is started:
Log.d(TAG,"Check intent - result");
if(getIntent().getIntExtra("result",0)==RESULT_OK){
mDevice = getIntent().getExtras().getParcelable("bonded device");
startConnection(mDevice,MY_UUID);
Log.d(TAG,"Check is active service ");
checkIfActive();;
}
Log.d(TAG,"Check intent - connect_to_paired");
if(getIntent().getIntExtra("connect_to_paired",0)==RESULT_OK){
mDevice = getIntent().getExtras().getParcelable("bonded_paired_device");
startConnection(mDevice,MY_UUID);
Log.d(TAG,"Check is active service ");
checkIfActive();
}
public void checkIfActive(){
Log.d(TAG,"CheckIfActive: Started");
while(myBluetoothService.active!=true) {
Log.d(TAG,"CheckIfActive() active is "+ myBluetoothService.active);
if (myBluetoothService.active) {
Log.d(TAG, "CheckIfActive: Running method runOnUiThread - myBluetoothService.active is "+myBluetoothService.active);
runThread();
}
}
}
Method runThread() which should work everytime after connected with bluetooth device:
public void runThread(){
//I used there Thread but when connection was fail,
// method created multiply threads when I tried to connect next time
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()){
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
while (true) {
switch (msg.what) {
//when is one, service has messages to send
case 1:
String message = myBluetoothService.mHandler.obtainMessage().toString();
rearLeft.setText(message);
break;
default:
super.handleMessage(msg);
}
}
}
};
}
});
}
UPDATE:
Is it good idea ? Maybe I can put JSON Object to service to send message and in the HomeActivity, I can try get values from JSON. Is it fast ? I send a lot of data, because bluetooth receive data of distance from 4 ultrasound sensors in 4 times in lasts until few milliseconds, everytime.
Here is screen how sees my data in service when I have debug logs.
Next idea, but still nothing:
HomeActivity (my main)
public void runThread(){
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Looper.prepare();
new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
rearLeft.setText(msg.obj.toString());
}
};
//Looper.loop();
//Log.d(TAG, myBluetoothService.mHandler.getLooper().toString());
//rearLeft.setText(myBluetoothService.mHandler.getLooper().toString());
}
});
}
Service which should send data from bluetooth to UI Thread is the same (Check first code).
Screen from HomeActivity where you can see 6 text views. Now I want put all text to one view which will be refresh by get next message.

Ok this post a bit help me to solve problem:
Sending a simple message from Service to Activity
Maybe this link could help another people.
Thanks for help, now understand why i should use broadcast receiver to do this.

Problem Using Ethernet and Wifi on Android at the same time

Let me quickly describe my setup and goal. I have a android tablet display running Android version 7.1.2
I have a motor controller that is hooked up to the Android tablet via ethernet. In my Android app that controls the motor controller, I use Wifi to communicate with some servers that provide/store data. Currently, I can use an Android simulator (in Android Studio) that allows me to communicate with the motor controller while also using the wifi for calls to the server. When I run the app on the Android tablet itself, I can only have Wifi OR Ethernet active at one time.
According to this post this is a hard limitation in Android itself. It also details some possible fixes, but its quite old and to be honest I do not have any experience in the required steps described by their vague instructions.
Can anyone provide a more up-to-date solution to this problem, preferably one that is a little more detailed for newbies like me? Even just a pointer to learning how to do the necessary steps for fixing this would be great, I've been stuck on this for awhile! Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Here's some relevant info in regards to AlwaysLearning's answer...

Dynamical update a textfield on live events

i am at the moment developing a Softphone with javafx. and i kind of a have problem capturing incoming call to a textfield. an example of my code is here.
an incoming call is with Joptionpane successful bt i had like to have the value appear in call textfield just like telephone.
Thank you.
public void telephoneNumbs(String numbers) {
String replace = numbers.replace("sip:", "").trim().replace(".", ""); // Incoming Call Numbers from Sip UA
if (!replace.isEmpty()) {
List<TelephoneObj> telephons;
telTextField.setText(null); //init it with null
costumDao = new CostumersDao(); // costumers DB
telephons = costumDao.getOrCompareTelfone(numbers);
for (TelephoneObj tmp : telephons) {
System.out.println("Test: " + tmp.getTelephoneNums); // am getting exactle what i need here from my Database
//or
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"incoming:"+ tmp.getTelephoneNums); // it show it during incoming calls
//here is the problem. it wouldnt show the Value on the Textfield
telTextField.setText(tmp.getTelephoneNums); //try to push that Value(Telephone number) to show in JFXTextfield/it cold be any other Textfields
}
}
Sooo much happy today it went well with after 2days of thinking how to solve this miserable life of not taking time to think.
I finally got the answer by using Task to solve the problem.
Task<Void> task = new Task<Void>() {
{
updateMessage("");
}
#Override
public Void call() throws Exception {
while (true) {
updateMessage(callee);
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
break;
}
}
return null;
}
};
//neuLabel.textProperty().bind(task.messageProperty());
kdAddrTel.textProperty().bind(task.messageProperty());
Thread th = new Thread(task);
th.setDaemon(true);
th.start();

Working with DataChannel in Android WebRTC application

Due to the breaking changes in Android WebRTC client's example, I'm looking for the code-example which shows how to add and work with DataChannel in Android. I need to just send "Hello Worlds" via DataChannel between 2 Android devices. Here's the old code:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/webrtc/stable/talk/+/master/examples/android/src/org/appspot/apprtc/AppRTCDemoActivity.java#177
It uses some classes and interfaces which don't exist in the new version anymore.
So how can I add support of DataChannel to my Android WebRTC application, send and receive a text through it?
I added DataChannel in a project with an older version of webrtc. I looked at the most up to date classes and it seems the methods and callbacks are still there, so hopefully it will work for you.
Changes to PeerConnectionClient:
Create DataChannel in createPeerConnectionInternal after isInitiator = false;:
DataChannel.Init dcInit = new DataChannel.Init();
dcInit.id = 1;
dataChannel = pc.createDataChannel("1", dcInit);;
dataChannel.registerObserver(new DcObserver());
Changes to onDataChannel:
#Override
public void onDataChannel(final DataChannel dc) {
Log.d(TAG, "onDataChannel");
executor.execute(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
dataChannel = dc;
String channelName = dataChannel.label();
dataChannel.registerObserver(new DcObserver());
}
});
}
Add the channel observer:
private class DcObserver implements DataChannel.Observer {
#Override
public void onMessage(final DataChannel.Buffer buffer) {
ByteBuffer data = buffer.data;
byte[] bytes = new byte[data.remaining()];
data.get(bytes);
final String command = new String(bytes);
executor.execute(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
events.onReceivedData(command);
}
});
}
#Override
public void onStateChange() {
Log.d(TAG, "DataChannel: onStateChange: " + dataChannel.state());
}
}
I added onReceivedDataevents to PeerConnectionEvents interface and all the events are implemented in the CallActivity so I handle the data received on the channel from there.
To send data, from CallActivity:
public void sendData(final String data) {
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(data.getBytes());
peerConnectionClient.getPCDataChannel().send(new DataChannel.Buffer(buffer, false));
}
I only took a quick look at the new classes and made minor changes to my code, I hope it will work for you with no more changes.
Good luck
I'm sorry that I have a question to the code from Guy S.
In your code, there are two following statements in both createPeerConnectionInternal() and onDataChannel().
dataChannel.registerObserver(new DcObserver());
I think it may cause twice registrations. Is it correct??
I mean, before making a call, it created a dataChannal and registered an Observer. Then.. if there is a call comes in, the onDataChannel called, then the dataChannel point to dc and register again??

Communicate from Service to Activity via bound service

I've already bound an activity to my service following this tutorial.
http://developer.android.com/guide/components/bound-services.html
I'm able to call service functions, but what if I want to for example, change some of my textviews or disable some of the toggle buttons because of work done on the service (and from the service). Would there be an easy to way to do this?
You can use messages to send information between activities and services. This is an easy way to send simple data, but may not be the best option if you need to send data very frequently, or send complicated data. This is an example of some code I have in one of my apps with a service and an activity which communicate:
Code in the activity:
//this is where you set what you want to happen
class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
switch (msg.what) {
//this switch reads the information in the message (usually just
//an integer) and will do something depending on which integer is sent
case 1: do_something();
case 2: do_something_2(); //etc.
default:
super.handleMessage(msg);
}
}
}
final Messenger myMessenger = new Messenger(new IncomingHandler());
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder service) {
myService = new Messenger(service);
myCallbackText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv01); //This is a text view which will display status information as needed
myCallbackText.setText("Attached.");
try {
Message msg = Message.obtain(null,
1);
msg.replyTo = mMessenger; //here we send an instance of our messenger implementation as the replyTo address
mService.send(msg);
msg = Message.obtain(null,
3, this.hashCode(), 0);
mService.send(msg); //send a message with the value "3"
} catch (RemoteException e) {
//nothing you can do if the server isn't active
}
Toast.makeText(Service_testActivity.this, R.string.remote_service_connected,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();//confirmation that the connection happened successfully
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
// This is called when the connection with the service has been
// unexpectedly disconnected -- that is, its process crashed.
mService = null;
mCallbackText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv01);//same textview as before
mCallbackText.setText("Disconnected.");
Toast.makeText(Service_testActivity.this, R.string.remote_service_disconnected,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
Code in the service:
In the service, you will want to have code (very similar to the code in the activity) to receive a message and save the msg.replyTo field as a Messenger object. There is an example somewhere which will have you make an object and then use an IncomingHandler like this:
ArrayList<Messenger> mClients = new ArrayList<Messenger>();
class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
switch (msg.what) {
case MSG_REGISTER_CLIENT:
mClients.add(msg.replyTo);
break;
case MSG_UNREGISTER_CLIENT:
mClients.remove(msg.replyTo);
break;
default:
super.handleMessage(msg);
}
}
}
This can allow your service to keep track of multiple clients at once and send messages to specified clients. To send a message simply use something like this:
mClients.get(1).send(Message.obtain(null, 3, new Random().nextInt(), 0));
//sends a message to the first client saved in the list

Return value from child thread

I'm writing an Android app that communicates with a website. Any time I hit the website, I'm displaying a ProcessDialog so that the user knows something's happening. Most of my website communication is one-way, so I don't usually expect any return data.
There is one point however where I need to get information back, but the results are not being stored when I exit the child thread. In a nutshell, I need to call a thread, let it process the results, and store the results in a couple of fields.
Here's what I've got so far - I have two variables, String[] Account and boolean AccountRetrievalSuccess:
public void GetAccount() {
MyDialog = ProgressDialog.show( MyContext, "Retrieving Account" , "We're retrieving your account information. Please wait...", true);
Thread T = new GetAccountThread();
T.start();
}
public class GetAccountThread extends Thread {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
String resp = GetPage(BaseURL+MainPage+"?P="+PhoneID+"&K="+WebAccessKey+"&A=ACCOUNT");
if (resp.contains("FAILURE|")){
failhandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
} else {
resp = resp.replace("SUCCESS|", "");
Account = resp.split("\\|");
handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
failhandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
};
private Handler handler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
AccountRetrievalSuccess = true;
MyDialog.dismiss();
}
};
private Handler failhandler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
AccountRetrievalSuccess = false;
MyDialog.dismiss();
ShowWtf();
}
};
}
Any idea what I'd need to do to be able to store the Account and AccountRetrievalSuccess values so that I can access them from elsewhere in the code?
Looks like a perfect job for AsyncTask!
This class allows you to run a task on a background thread and return the results back to the UI thread whilst reporting progress on the task at hand.
Not expecting a result in a mobile app might be a bad idea by the way, due to nature of mobile network connections you'd never know for sure if your server actually got the thing you sent it (and the server might have failed while processing and your app would never know...)
Do not use threads. You should use executors for that. Implement a Callable<> interface, create an ExecutorService and run it. Have a look to the java.util.concurrent package.
Make those global variables in the containing Activity and then pass them to the handler:
Message m = Message.obtain();
m.obj = Account;
handler.sendMessageDelayed(m, 1);
Then in the handler you can cast m.obj back to the Account type and its nice and available.
Scott.. You should not have more than one handler per activity. Instead switch on what. You can send data (or objects) in messages as in:
Message msg= Message.obtainMessage(0);
Bundle b= new Bundle();
b.putString("stringData",outString);
msg.setData(b);
handler.sendMessage(msg);
You can switch on multiple messages in the handler as in.
public void handleMessage(Message msg){
switch(msg.what){
case BUTTON_ONE_UP_SELECTED:
this.removeMessages(BUTTON_ONE_UP_SELECTED);
buttonLarger01.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_zoom_up_selected);
break;
case BUTTON_ONE_UP_NORMAL:
this.removeMessages(BUTTON_ONE_UP_NORMAL);
buttonLarger01.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_zoom_up_normal);
break;
case BUTTON_TWO_UP_SELECTED:
this.removeMessages(BUTTON_TWO_UP_SELECTED);
buttonLarger02.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_zoom_up_selected);
break;
case BUTTON_TWO_UP_NORMAL:
this.removeMessages(BUTTON_TWO_UP_NORMAL);
buttonLarger02.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_zoom_up_normal);
break;
case BUTTON_ONE_DOWN_SELECTED:
this.removeMessages(BUTTON_ONE_DOWN_SELECTED);
buttonSmaller01.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_zoom_down_selected);
break;
case BUTTON_ONE_DOWN_NORMAL:
this.removeMessages(BUTTON_ONE_DOWN_NORMAL);
buttonSmaller01.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_zoom_down_normal);
break;
case BUTTON_TWO_DOWN_SELECTED:
this.removeMessages(BUTTON_TWO_DOWN_SELECTED);
buttonSmaller02.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_zoom_down_selected);
break;
case BUTTON_TWO_DOWN_NORMAL:
this.removeMessages(BUTTON_TWO_DOWN_NORMAL);
buttonSmaller02.setImageResource(R.drawable.btn_zoom_down_normal);
break;
default:
super.handleMessage(msg);
break;
}
}
};
So in your case you could define SUCCESS as what 0 and FAILURE as what 1 etc.
