Encrypt/decrypt operation on a file produce strange effect on Android platform

I'm working on an Android application that needs to crypt (and then to decrypt) file on the file system. I wrote an android test to test the code that I found on the web and I adapted for my needed. I try with to crypt a simple text and then try to decrypt it. The problem is when I try to decrypt it, some strange character appears at the beginning of the content that I want to crypt/decrypt. For example, I try to crypt/decrypt a string like this:
Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)
And I received
X�­�YK�P���$BProgramming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)
The test code is
#Test
public void test() throws IOException, GeneralSecurityException {
String input = "Concentration - Programming Music 0100 (Part 4)";
for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
input+=input;
}
String password = EncryptSystem.encrypt(new ByteArrayInputStream(input.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8"))), new File(this.context.getFilesDir(), "test.txt"));
InputStream inputStream = EncryptSystem.decrypt(password, new File(this.context.getFilesDir(), "test.txt"));
//creating an InputStreamReader object
InputStreamReader isReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
//Creating a BufferedReader object
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(isReader);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String str;
while ((str = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(str);
}
System.out.println(sb.toString());
Assert.assertEquals(input, sb.toString());

Any idea about what I'm in wrong? Thank you in advance

Finally, I solve by myself. I post the solution just to help anybody that in the future will look for a similar situation. I mistake to retrieve the iv array in the encrypt method, I was generating another iv vector instead of using the one contained in secretKeys.

At first, i think it probably caused by writing into hive table slowly, and then the FTP Server closed the connection.
But actually, the speed of writing into hive table is fast enough.
Now, i need your help, how can i fix this problem.

From your comments, it looks like it can take hours before you finish downloading the file.
You cannot reasonably expect an FTP server to wait for you for hours to finish the transfer. Particularly if you are not transferring anything most of the time. You waste server resources and most servers will protect themselves against such abuse.
Your design is flawed.
You should redesign your application to first fully download the file; and import the file only after the download finishes.

How to encode images into a video file in Java through programming?

I am trying to encode some images of same resolution into a video file using, For that I have tried:
jCodec
jcodec..example description
But it is very time consuming and not a proper tool to encode large number of images and it creates a quick time extension.
FFMPEG
FFMPEG..example description
But ffmpeg only able to create video from image files. Images need to be create on physical system.
I have heard Xuggler that its APIs can be used in java program to create video file but as its site seems broken. I am unable to try it.
Does anybody know how to encode images in java format into a video file Please help!
THanks in Advance !

Xuggler is deprecated, use Humble-Video instead. It already comes with some demo projects, including how to take screenshots and convert it to a video file: RecordAndEncodeVideo.java

I am using it for real time using on a webapp.
If you will gonna stream this in real time you will need a RTSP server. You can either use big frameworks like Red 5 Server, Wowza Streaming Engine or you can built your own server using Netty which has a built in RTSP codec since version 3.2.

Using command line, there are various ways to convert image to video. You can use those command in java for saving. You can get those commands from the following link:

Base64 decoder = new Base64();
byte[] pic = decoder.decodeBase64(request.getParameter("pic"));
String frameCount = request.getParameter("frame");
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(pic);
BufferedImage bImageFromConvert = ImageIO.read(in);
String outdir = "output\\"+frameCount;
//Random rand = new Random();
File file = new File(outdir);
if(file.isFile()){
if(file.delete()){
File writefile = new File(outdir);
ImageIO.write(bImageFromConvert, "png", file);
}
}
Code for creating image from video

Another approach for Android developers:
Create a temporary folder inside the Android.
Copy your images in the new folder
First, rename your pictures to follow a numerical sequence. For
example, img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3.jpg,... Then you may run:
Run this program programmetcally ffmpeg -f image2 -i img%d.jpg
/tmp/a.mpg To run this programmatically,
Use the following code:
void convertImg_to_vid()
{
Process chperm;
try {
chperm=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream os =
new DataOutputStream(chperm.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes("ffmpeg -f image2 -i img%d.jpg /tmp/a.mpg\n");
os.flush();
chperm.waitFor();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Java Client-Server and Observer

I am implementing a Java Client-Server application for a university task and I'm stuck at the following point: I am obliged to use client-server and also update the view whenever the data in the database changes. What I have done is that whenever a change in the database should occur I notify all the clients with the "CHANGE IN DATA" message and then the client should read and understand this message in order to call a method that will update it's graphic interface. However, or I'm mistaking the reading part on client side or because of some error, the clients don't read the "CHANGE IN DATA" message so the whole gets stuck at this point and the view doesn't update.
Here are some relevant codes!
Server class:

I'm 99% sure that the error is on client side reading the message sent from the server as notification, but I simply cannot figure it out how could I retrieve that message. Right now I have a try in the client threads run method, but doesn't work. Other classes and other functionalities work just fine, this is my only problem. Do you have any ideas what the mistake could be? I would appreciate any help.

Running a Client-Server Chat program

This is one of the most common application scenario that can be found all over the net. and I'm not asking any questions about the java codes that I did because I was successful in running it on my laptop where both the client and server part of the .java file resides. Rather I have had problem getting it to work in between two computers. I tried establishing physical connection using cross-over cable to connect two computers, and did a test to see if file transfers successfully and it did, however, keeping one Server part of the .java file in one computer and client part in the other, I tried to run the server first and then the client but it got a "access denied" error.
For reference here's my two .java files:

PrintWriter out) throws IOException {

Now, what should I do in order to run this two files from two computers given that I have the physical connection(TCP/IP) setup already??
Thanks in advance... :)

Sounds like it's quite possibly a firewall problem. Have you tried opening a hole in your firewall for port 1001?

Have you also looked at your java.policy and make sure that it is configured to allow local codebase to open sockets?

as mentioned in comment, you should not use port < 1025 for you applications, since they are always used in deamon processes. However you should test your program like this
1) if you get connection refused then you should check the exception properly, whether client program takes time before generating exception ( that mean request is going to server and then it's giving connection refused), in that case you should try java.policy put following in a file named java.policy
grant {
permission java.net.SocketPermission ":1024-65535",
"connect,accept";
permission java.net.SocketPermission ":80", "connect";
permission java.io.FilePermission "", "read,write,delete";
permission java.security.SecurityPermission "";
};
while compiling use this flag -Djava.security.policy=java.policy
more-over you should also try -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=IP, where IP is clien-ip for client.java and server-ip for server.java
2) if you are immediately getting exception at client side then your request is not going outside your pc, so client has some problem.
check the exception properly and post them over here.
3) though i've not got access denied error, but it seems to have port problem that might be solved using policy or port>1024.
post what are you getting now.
