identify incoming caller android and display in toast

I'm trying to build a simple phonebook application where I can perform a search and an API will return the information. So far this is the part that I've got working.
I also want incoming caller to be identified with the same API, that would require the incoming number from Broastcastreceiver to be put into the API query and the returned information should be displayed in a toast. This is the part I'm having problems with.
So far this is what I have. Apologize if its really messy, this is what I've been playing around with recently and made small adjustments. Also its alot of copy-paste, I'm a beginner at java/Android and trying to learn.

which part you got an error ?
with your Api ? or while receive you phone number from service ?
put your error to clarify the situation

Android Remote Service does not work on Real device

Remote Service
I'm doing a test for Android remote Service.
In the first app module, I make a service, complete as below:
AppService
package com.hqyj.dev.aidltest;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.os.RemoteException;
public class AppService extends Service {
public AppService() {
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO: Return the communication channel to the service.
return new IAppServiceRemoteBinder.Stub() {
#Override
public void basicTypes(
int anInt, long aLong,
boolean aBoolean, float aFloat,
double aDouble, String aString)
throws RemoteException {
}
#Override
public void setData(String data)
throws RemoteException {
setRealData(data);
}
#Override
public void registerCallback(IRemoteServiceCallback cb)
throws RemoteException {
AppService.this.callback = cb;
}
#Override
public void unregisterCallback(IRemoteServiceCallback cb)
throws RemoteException {
AppService.this.callback = null;
}
};
}
private IRemoteServiceCallback callback;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
System.out.println("Service started");
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
System.out.println("Service stop");
}
public void setRealData(String data) {
this.data = data;
System.out.println("data = " + data);
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
if (callback != null) {
callback.vlueChanged(data);
}
} catch (InterruptedException | RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private String data = "default date";
}
And their are two AIDL files:
IAppServiceRemoteBinder.aild
// IAppServiceRemoteBinder.aidl
package com.hqyj.dev.aidltest;
// Declare any non-default types here with import statements
import com.hqyj.dev.aidltest.IRemoteServiceCallback;
interface IAppServiceRemoteBinder {
/**
* Demonstrates some basic types that you can use as parameters
* and return values in AIDL.
*/
void basicTypes(int anInt,
long aLong,
boolean aBoolean, float aFloat,
double aDouble, String aString);
void setData(String data);
void registerCallback(IRemoteServiceCallback cb);
void unregisterCallback(IRemoteServiceCallback cb);
}
IRemoteServiceCallback.aild
// IRemoteServiceCallback.aidl
package com.hqyj.dev.aidltest;
// Declare any non-default types here with import statements
interface IRemoteServiceCallback {
/**
* return from server
*/
void vlueChanged(String value);
}
And in AndroidManifest.xml, this Server decleared as below:
AndroidManifest.xml
<service
android:name="com.hqyj.dev.aidltest.AppService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:process=":remote">
</service>
And then, the in second module, copies all these aidl files with package name, as below:
And in MainActivity in anotherapp, complete as below:
package com.hqyj.dev.anotherapp;
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.ServiceConnection;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.os.RemoteException;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import com.hqyj.dev.aidltest.IAppServiceRemoteBinder;
import com.hqyj.dev.aidltest.IRemoteServiceCallback;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements View.OnClickListener, ServiceConnection {
private final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private Intent intent;
private IAppServiceRemoteBinder binder;
private int count = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
findViewById(R.id.btn_start).setOnClickListener(this);
findViewById(R.id.btn_stop).setOnClickListener(this);
findViewById(R.id.btn_set).setOnClickListener(this);
intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new
ComponentName("com.hqyj.dev.aidltest",
"com.hqyj.dev.aidltest.AppService"));
}
#SuppressLint("DefaultLocale")
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.btn_start:
bindService(intent, this,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
break;
case R.id.btn_set:
if (binder != null) {
try {
binder.setData(
String.format("the %d times",
++count));
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
break;
case R.id.btn_stop:
try {
binder.unregisterCallback(callback);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
unbindService(this);
break;
}
}
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(
ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
binder =
IAppServiceRemoteBinder.Stub.asInterface(service);
Log.d(TAG, "onServiceConnected: " + 1);
try {
binder.registerCallback(callback);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
}
private IRemoteServiceCallback.Stub callback =
new IRemoteServiceCallback.Stub() {
#Override
public void
vlueChanged(String value) throws RemoteException {
Log.e(TAG, "vlueChanged: " + value);
}
};
}
As you see, I called the remote service by using bindService();
It works well, when I push these two apps into an emulator which using Android 7.0 as platform.
But
When I push these app into an real device(using Android 6.0), the flowing mistake happened:
AIDL failed!!
Why??

private class Holder {

}
}

First you need an object to hold all these values like time, streername, etc. then pass a list of that object, then make an add item method in your adapter that updates the list with new xml the call notifyDataSetChanged() to update your listview like this:
//Binding Data
public void addItem(YourItem item){
this.yourItemList.add(item);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
//YourItem
public class YourItem{
private String time;
private String street_name;
private String intersection_no;
private String traffic_state;
public YourItem(String time, String street_name, String intersection_no, String traffic_state) {
this.time = time;
this.street_name = street_name;
this.intersection_no = intersection_no;
this.traffic_state = traffic_state;
}
//Getters and Setters for your object fields
}

you have to notify the list adapter that the data has changed if you want instance change in the list view, so every time the server data is changed you should call ...
bindingData.notifyDataSetChanged();

You are attempting to do network communication on the main Activity thread. Android, by default, disallows this, (as you do not know how long it can take) so you will have to move your networking code to a class extending AsyncTask. Have a read of this, which shows you how to put it on an AsyncTask.

Error connection timeout in android

My app starts.. loads.. and when it is done loading it displays only a blank page. It doesnt crash just display a blank page.
And I noticed at the logcat there is this error: Exception localhost/127.0.0.1:8080 Connection Refused
I am playing my app on another device not in an emulator.
So i am thinking it has an error on the url "localhost:8080/lab/lab1.xml"
OR it has an error on my codes.
So here is the MainActivity.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
TextView tvResponse;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tvResponse = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvResponse);
new PostAsync().execute();
}
class PostAsync extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
ProgressDialog pd;
XMLHelper helper;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
pd = ProgressDialog.show(MainActivity.this, "by Es", "Loading", true, false);
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
helper = new XMLHelper();
helper.get();
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
for(EventValue event : helper.events) {
builder.append("\nWhat: " + event.getWhat());
builder.append("\nWhen: " + event.getWhen());
builder.append("\nWhere: " + event.getWhere());
builder.append("\n");
}
tvResponse.setText(builder.toString());
pd.dismiss();
}
}
}
Here is the XMLHelper.java
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;

import android.util.Log;
public class XMLHelper extends DefaultHandler {

String currTagVal = "";
public EventValue event = null;
public ArrayList<EventValue> events = new ArrayList<EventValue>();
public void get() {

XMLReader mXmlReader = mSaxParser.getXMLReader();
mXmlReader.setContentHandler(this);
InputStream mInputStream = new URL(URL_MAIN).openStream();
mXmlReader.parse(new InputSource(mInputStream));
} catch(Exception e) {
// Exceptions can be handled for different types
// But, this is about XML Parsing not about Exception Handling
Log.e(TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
#Override
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
throws SAXException {
if(currTag) {
currTagVal = currTagVal + new String(ch, start, length);
currTag = false;
}
}
#Override
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
throws SAXException {
currTag = false;
if(localName.equalsIgnoreCase("what"))
event.setWhat(currTagVal);
else if(localName.equalsIgnoreCase("when"))
event.setWhen(currTagVal);

Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
Log.i(TAG, "TAG: " + localName);
currTag = true;
currTagVal = "";
if(localName.equals("event"))
event = new EventValue();
}
}
Here is the EventValue.java
public class EventValue {
String what, when, where;
public String getWhat() {
return what;
}
public void setWhat(String what) {
this.what = what;
}
public String getWhen() {
return when;
}
public void setWhen(String when) {
this.when = when;
}
public String getWhere() {
return where;
}
public void setWhere(String where) {
this.where = where;
}
}
Here is the xml file lab1.xml (localhost:8080/lab/lab1.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<events>
<event>
<what>Summer</what>
<when>March1</when>
<where>--</where>
</event>
<event>
<what>asdasdas</what>
<when>March 2</when>
<where>asasas</where>
</event>
<event>
<what>asdasdq</what>
<when>asdasdx</when>
<where>asdasdf</where>
</event>
</events>
Please take a look at the codes. Thanks
EDIT-
it works now i am using computer IP adress but now the problem there is this new exception
Exception:Connection Timeout

Your error doesn't have anything to do with XML parsing. You have connection error. You are using localhost, which is the phone itself, of course it returns connection error. You probably meant your machine where you develop.
If you want to refer to the computer which is running the Android simulator, use the IP address 10.0.2.2 instead. You can read more from here.
