Android Translation application using yandex api showing result in emulator text view but not in real device

I am trying to make a translation application from English to Bangla using Yandex API.
It works fine in the emulator but in the real device it shows result for only one word in the text view but when writing a sentence it shows null / nothing.
I think the problem is buffer overflow but don't know how to fix it for the real device. Here are some reference pictures. In the emulator the result works fine:
In the real device it shows empty in text view:
But it works fine when a single word is used in real device.
Here is the code for my Asynctask:
public class
TranslatorBackgroundTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
//Declare Context
Context ctx;
//Set Context
TranslatorBackgroundTask(Context ctx){
this.ctx = ctx;
}
String resultString;
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
//String variables
String textToBeTranslated = params[0];
String languagePair = params[1];
String jsonString;
try {
//Set up the translation call URL
String yandexKey = "trnsl.1.1.20170823T130435Z.79a583874abfc8ff.61e23593359fdc92452e69a3d5ec05347fc4180b";
String yandexUrl = "https://translate.yandex.net/api/v1.5/tr.json/translate?key=" + yandexKey
+ "&text=" + textToBeTranslated + "&lang=" + languagePair;
URL yandexTranslateURL = new URL(yandexUrl);
//Set Http Conncection, Input Stream, and Buffered Reader
HttpURLConnection httpJsonConnection = (HttpURLConnection) yandexTranslateURL.openConnection();
InputStream inputStream = httpJsonConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
//Set string builder and insert retrieved JSON result into it
StringBuilder jsonStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
while ((jsonString = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
jsonStringBuilder.append(jsonString + "\n");
}
//Close and disconnect
try {
bufferedReader.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
inputStream.close();
httpJsonConnection.disconnect();
//Making result human readable
resultString = jsonStringBuilder.toString().trim();
//Getting the characters between [ and ]
resultString = resultString.substring(resultString.indexOf('[')+1);
resultString = resultString.substring(0,resultString.indexOf("]"));
//Getting the characters between " and "
resultString = resultString.substring(resultString.indexOf("\"")+1);
resultString = resultString.substring(0,resultString.indexOf("\""));
Log.d("Translation Result:", resultString);
return jsonStringBuilder.toString().trim();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
//String text = String.valueOf(resultString);
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
MainActivity.tvTranslatedText.setText(resultString);
Toast.makeText(ctx, resultString, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
}
}
And the code for the main activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
Context context=this;
private static final int REQUEST_CODE = 1234;
static TextView tvTranslatedText;
EditText etUserText;
Button buTranslate;
Button buSpeak;
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout_activity_main);

buTranslate = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buTranslate);
buSpeak = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buSpeak);
}
public void buTranslate(View view) {
//Default variables for translation
String textToBeTranslated = "";
textToBeTranslated= etUserText.getText().toString();
String languagePair = "en-bn"; //English to bengali ("<source_language>-<target_language>")
//Executing the translation function
Translate(textToBeTranslated,languagePair);
}
//Function for calling executing the Translator Background Task
void Translate(String textToBeTranslated, String languagePair){
TranslatorBackgroundTask translatorBackgroundTask= new TranslatorBackgroundTask(context);
String translationResult = "";
translationResult = String.valueOf(translatorBackgroundTask.execute(textToBeTranslated,languagePair)); // Returns the translated text as a String
Log.d("Translation Result",translationResult); // Logs the result in Android Monitor
}
//Speak button activities
public void buSpeak(View view) {
startVoiceRecognitionActivity();
}
private void startVoiceRecognitionActivity()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, "Speak to translate");
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
}
/**
* Handle the results from the voice recognition activity.
*/
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (data != null) {
//pull all of the matches
ArrayList<String> matches = data.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
String topResult = matches.get(0);
EditText AutoText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etUserText);
AutoText.setText(topResult);
}
}
}
}
The error message:
Caused by: com.google.android.apps.gsa.shared.exception.GsaIOException: Error code: 393238 | Buffer overflow, no available space.

Why didn't you add a listener to your sample code?
Try adding these on onCreate in MainActivity:
buTranslate.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
buTranslate(view);
}
}
);
Update:
There was another issue. Emulators on android sdk 16 don't show Unicode properly. Thats why you don't see your results, as those are Unicodes. Try Log to print your resultString.

Define a ProgressDialog in your Fragment as follows. The following code will add a ProgessDialog; to update it to show a Progress Bar too, read this.
private ProgressDialog processingDialog;
Now, in your onClick()
mButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
processingDialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "Creating PDF", "Please wait ...", true, false);
createPDF();
processingDialog.dismiss();
viewPDF();
}
});
This should do the task, however, I have some more recommendations for you. As creating a PDF (I assume) will be time consuming, it might not be a good idea to do it on the UI Thread. Instead, use an AsyncTask to generate your PDF in doInBackground(), show the ProgressDialog, and finally dismiss() it in onPostExecute().

This code will do what you want using AsyncTask which is reccomended way of doing this!
private class MakePDF extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private ProgressDialog processingDialog;
Context cnt = null;
MakePDF(Context cnt)
{
this.cnt = cnt;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
processingDialog = ProgressDialog.show( this.cnt, "Creating PDF", "Please wait ...", true, false);
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
createPDF();
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
processingDialog.dismiss();
viewPDF();
}
}
Now call above AsyncTask using
new MakePDF(ActivityName.this).execute(); //here in constructor pass context of an calling activity.
from your activity class

Download PDF not working

In my application, I have an expandablelistview and I want to open a PDF downloaded from the internet when I click on a specific child. The problem is that the pdf file (Read.pdf) is always empty, meaning that the download is not working.
Downloader Class:
public class Downloader {
public static void DownloadFile(String fileURL, File directory) {
try {
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(directory);
URL u = new URL(fileURL);
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len1 = 0;
while ((len1 = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
f.write(buffer, 0, len1);
}
f.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Part of the Activity:
private void registerClick() {
expListView.setOnChildClickListener(new OnChildClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {
if ((groupPosition == 0) && (childPosition == 0)){
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator+"IAVE", "Read.pdf");
try {
file.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Downloader.DownloadFile("https://www.cp.pt/StaticFiles/Passageiros/1_horarios/horarios/PDF/lx/linha_cascais.pdf", file);
AbrirPDF.showPdf();
} else {
}
return false;
}
});
}
I think the OpenPDF (AbrirPDF) doesn't have any problem, but I will post it...
public class AbrirPDF {
public static void showPdf()
{
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator+"IAVE/Read.pdf");
PackageManager packageManager = ContextGetter.getAppContext().getPackageManager();
Intent testIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
testIntent.setType("application/pdf");
List list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(testIntent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/pdf");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
ContextGetter.getAppContext().startActivity(intent);
}
}
Thank you.

Ideally, your download should happen in a separate thread to avoid locking your app.
Here is an example that also includes a progress bar.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private ProgressDialog pDialog;
public static final int progress_bar_type = 0;
private static String file_url = "https://www.cp.pt/StaticFiles/Passageiros/1_horarios/horarios/PDF/lx/linha_cascais.pdf";
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
new DownloadFileFromURL().execute(file_url);
}
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case progress_bar_type: // we set this to 0
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
pDialog.setMessage("Downloading file. Please wait...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setMax(100);
pDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
pDialog.setCancelable(true);
pDialog.show();
return pDialog;
default:
return null;
}
}
class DownloadFileFromURL extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
showDialog(progress_bar_type);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... f_url) {
int count;
try {
URL url = new URL(f_url[0]);
URLConnection conection = url.openConnection();
conection.connect();
// this will be useful so that you can show a tipical 0-100%
// progress bar
int lenghtOfFile = conection.getContentLength();
// download the file
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream(),
8192);
// Output stream
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()
+ "/2011.kml");
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
// publishing the progress....
// After this onProgressUpdate will be called
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lenghtOfFile));
// writing data to file
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
// flushing output
output.flush();
// closing streams
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
// setting progress percentage
pDialog.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog after the file was downloaded
dismissDialog(progress_bar_type);
}
}
}

Downloading list of audio from URL

So I'm implementing audio Playlist app that imports audios from Parse.com, and when I retrieve them by streaming them directly from their URls, it took maybe one minute to play after clicking play button.
So I don't want to use streaming from URL methods to play my audio from server because it makes it so slow. Instead I want to download list of audios from server (Parse.com) at once and then playing them by retrieving from sdcard.
I have the class that downloads single audio from single URL .. I want to edit the code to make it downloads more than one audio at once.
here is the class I have to download audio from URL.
class DownloadMusicfromInternet extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
private Context mContext;
private MediaPlayer mPlayer;
public DownloadMusicfromInternet(Context context) {
mContext = context;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
// Download Music File from Internet
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... f_url) {
int count;
try {
URL url = new URL(f_url[0]);
URLConnection conection = url.openConnection();
conection.connect();
// Get Music file length
int lenghtOfFile = conection.getContentLength();
// input stream to read file - with 8k buffer
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream(), 10 * 1024);
// Output stream to write file in SD card
OutputStream output = new
Also if you could help me in how to set a name for the audios, I don't want to write static name because I'm downloading more than one audio at a time .
FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/"+"how to put unique name for each audio here ?"+".mp3");
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lenghtOfFile));
// Write data to file
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
// Flush output
output.flush();
// Close streams
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
// While Downloading Music File
// Once Music File is downloaded
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// Play the music
playMusic();
}
// Play Music
protected void playMusic() {
// Read Mp3 file present under SD card
Uri myUri1 = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/"+"the same unique name that was set previously ! "+".mp3");
mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
try {
mPlayer.setDataSource(mContext.getApplicationContext(), myUri1);
mPlayer.prepare();
// Start playing the Music file
mPlayer.start();
mPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// Once Music is completed playing, enable the button
// btnPlayMusic.setEnabled(true);
Toast.makeText(mContext.getApplicationContext(), "Music completed playing", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
Toast.makeText(mContext.getApplicationContext(), "You might not set the URI correctly!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (SecurityException e) {
Toast.makeText(mContext.getApplicationContext(), "URI cannot be accessed, permissed needed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
Toast.makeText(mContext.getApplicationContext(), "Media Player is not in correct state", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast.makeText(mContext.getApplicationContext(), "IO Error occured", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
and this is my adapter, and here is where my problem occurs and crashes my app. I don't know how to call ( DownloadMusicfromInternet ) more than once from the following adapter .
public class mAdapter extends ParseQueryAdapter<ParseObject> {
public mAdapter (Context context) {
super(context, new ParseQueryAdapter.QueryFactory<ParseObject>() {
public ParseQuery create() {
ParseQuery query = new ParseQuery("MusicPlaylist");
return query;
}
});
}
#Override
public View getItemView(final ParseObject object, View v, ViewGroup parent) {
if (v == null) {
v = View.inflate(getContext(), R.layout.list_music, null);
}
super.getItemView(object, v, parent);
//Audio retrieving
final ImageButton btn = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.play_btn);
final ParseFile fileObject = object.getParseFile("music");
**// here I put a loop because I want it to download a list of audios at once and I think here is the problem**
if (fileObject != null) {
for (int i = 10; i >= j; j++) {
new DownloadMusicfromInternet().execute(fileObject.getUrl());
}
fileObject.getDataInBackground(new GetDataCallback() {
#Override
public void done(byte[] bytes, com.parse.ParseException e) {
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
}//end on click
}//end listener
);
}//end done
});//end get data
}//end if
return v;
}//end getItem View
}//end mAdapter
Any help would be appreciated ..

Parsing Xml with Sax on Android

I'm trying to parse an XML from a url page. To do so I have used the SAX implementation explained in this IBM example with the Adapter and other changes I got from this article. I've also tried to implement an AsyncTask to do the parsing and show a ProgressDialog but I think this is where my application starts to break down.
I don't really know exactly how to implement the AsyncTask into my code, and I believe my poor implementation is causing my app to force close.
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
ListView lv1;
ProgressDialog ShowProgress;
public static ArrayList<MangaItem> MangaItemList = new ArrayList<MangaItem>();
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
ShowProgress = ProgressDialog.show(MainActivity.this, "",
"Loading. Please wait...", true);
//new loadingTask().execute("http://www.mangapanda.com/alphabetical");
new loadFeedTask().execute();
lv1.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri
.parse(MangaItemList.get(position).getMangaLink()));
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
class loadFeedTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, ArrayList<MangaItem>> {
private String feedUrl;
protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
lv1.setAdapter(new EfficientAdapter(MainActivity.this, MangaItemList));
//new MangaParserTask().execute();
ShowProgress.dismiss();
}
protected ArrayList<MangaItem> doInBackground(String... params) {
ArrayList<MangaItem> ParsedMangaItemList = new ArrayList<MangaItem>();
feedUrl = "http://www.mangapanda.com/alphabetical";
FeedParser parser = new SaxFeedParser(feedUrl);
ParsedMangaItemList = parser.parse();
for (MangaItem mitem : ParsedMangaItemList) {
MangaItemList.add(mitem);
}
return MangaItemList;
}
}
}
How can I properly use AsyncTask so that my parser will return an ArrayList that I can then put into an ArrayAdapter

Improper use of type parameters in subclass (AsyncTask<Params, Progress, Result>). Re-write the AsyncTask sub-class.
class loadFeedTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, ArrayList<MangaItem>> {
protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<MangaItem> list) {
lv1.setAdapter(new EfficientAdapter(MainActivity.this, list));
ShowProgress.dismiss();
}
protected ArrayList<MangaItem> doInBackground(String... params) {
ArrayList<MangaItem> list=null;
String feedUrl = "http://www.mangapanda.com/alphabetical";
FeedParser parser = new SaxFeedParser(feedUrl);
list = parser.parse();
MangaItemList=list;
return list;
}
}

use this code
try {
items = new ArrayList<String>();
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();
xpp.setInput(new InputStreamReader(
getUrlData(" url")));
while (xpp.getEventType() != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
Log.i(TAG, "doc started");
if (xpp.getEventType() == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
if (xpp.getName().equals("entry")) {
items.add(xpp.getAttributeValue(0));
}
}
xpp.next();
}
} catch (Throwable t) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Request failed: " + t.toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
get url data method
public InputStream getUrlData(String url) throws URISyntaxException,
ClientProtocolException, IOException {
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet method = new HttpGet(new URI(url));
HttpResponse res = client.execute(method);
return res.getEntity().getContent();
}
