GDPR consent dialog not showing

I followed the guide on the Android docs but for some reason nothing is showing when i start my app.
I even tried logging the listeners but nothing is showing up in logcat.
I also changed the ad technology in admob setting to Custom set of ad technology providers, but still not working.
My code
ConsentInformation consentInformation = ConsentInformation.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
ConsentInformation.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).addTestDevice("6AE7D8950FE9E464D988F340C0D625B0");
ConsentInformation.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).
setDebugGeography(DebugGeography.DEBUG_GEOGRAPHY_EEA);
String[] publisherIds = {""};
consentInformation.requestConsentInfoUpdate(publisherIds, new ConsentInfoUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void onConsentInfoUpdated(ConsentStatus consentStatus) {
// User's consent status successfully updated.
Log.d(TAG,"onConsentInfoUpdated");
}
#Override
public void onFailedToUpdateConsentInfo(String errorDescription) {
// User's consent status failed to update.
Log.d(TAG,"onFailedToUpdateConsentInfo");
}
});
form = new ConsentForm.Builder(this, privacyUrl)
.withListener(new ConsentFormListener() {
#Override
public void onConsentFormLoaded() {
// Consent form loaded successfully.
Log.d(TAG,"form loaded!");
form.show();
}
#Override
public void onConsentFormOpened() {
// Consent form was displayed.
}
#Override
public void onConsentFormClosed(
ConsentStatus consentStatus, Boolean userPrefersAdFree) {
// Consent form was closed.
}
#Override
public void onConsentFormError(String errorDescription) {
// Consent form error.
Log.d(TAG,"form error!");
}
})
.withPersonalizedAdsOption()
.withNonPersonalizedAdsOption()
.withAdFreeOption()
.build();
form.load();
Gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
}
implementation 'com.google.android.ads.consent:consent-library:1.0.7'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:17.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:18.2.0'
EDIT
I tried it on a project which was pre android x and now it calls the listener onFailedToUpdateConsentInfo.
With following error message:
onFailedToUpdateConsentInfoCould not parse Event FE preflight response.
Searched a bit and found this could be because of an invalid pub id, but i'm certain i'm using the right one.

1) I think you forget to check isRequestLocationInEeaOrUnknown() method.
It will return true If user already agreed to the consent. In this case, you don't need to ask it again. I think you already agreed to consent.
wrap your code with
if(ConsentInformation.getInstance(context).isRequestLocationInEeaOrUnknown()){
//setup admob
}else{
//Ask for consent
}
2) You have to call form.show(); to present the form to the user, check Google Doc

I was still using test app id and test ad ids, remove them and change it with your id's and make sure you use it as a testdevice so you don't violate admob policies.
Like this
adLoader.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR).build());

How to call fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation() from within a JobService?

I'm trying to implement getLastLocation().addOnSuccessListener as documented here: https://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current#last-known but in my case within a JobService which is periodically ran by the JobScheduler.
Here is the meaningful part of my jobService:
public class PeriodicJob extends JobService {
final String TAG = "BNA.Job";
private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
Log.i(TAG, "onCreate");
}
#Override
public boolean onStartJob(JobParameters params) {
Log.d(TAG, "Job started..."); // logs every 15mins
fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation()
.addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Location location) {
// Got last known location. In some rare situations this can be null.
if (location != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "got Location: " + location);
Log.d(TAG, "Accuracy:" + location.getAccuracy()+", LON:"
+location.getLongitude() + ", LAT:" + location.getLatitude());
}
}
})
.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
(...) // never runs
});
return true;
}
When I run this (it compiles fine), I get: Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: (...)PeriodicJob cannot be cast to java.util.concurrent.Executor
I looked at Android app crashes on firebase phone authentication and Can't cast this into Executor in google reCAPTCHA but I still couldnt get it working. Just calling .addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Location>() like the second question's answer suggests, throws no error, but the code is never executed (at least, no log is written).
How can I get the call to onSuccess working?
EDIT: In fact it was working all the time (without the first parameter), I had neglected to detect the case when a null location was returned (which I wasnt expecting). Thanks to Mike M.!

Java FX 8 using Platform.runLater() in Application init() method to display Alert / Login boxes

Please bear with me as this is going to be a pretty detailed and specific requirement. I also looked into numerous questions already listed on stackoverflow regarding Platform.runLater() usage. But I couldn't find an appropriate response. If someone can identify the correct question and mark this as a duplicate I would be great full all the same. Also I'm a newbie to JavaFX programming, so if I need to modify the architecture, please let me know.
I'm creating a stand-alone JavaFX application to run some unit tests based on user-defined requirements. Before running the actual tests, I need to make sure that the end-user is using the test with latest libraries available, by comparing the manifest files from remote Artifactory repo and the manifest files from jars on the current classpath. I want to store the credentials for Artifactory so that I can reuse them for subsequent executions. If the build numbers from remote and local manifest doesn't match, then I want to display an Error Alert window informing the user. I want to use a pre-loader to display a gif and appropriate messages in each of these steps.
public class UI extends Application
{
String username=null, password=null;
Manifest remoteManifest, localManifest;
#Override
public void init() {
notifyPreloader("Loading Stored Credentials");
loadStoredCredentials();
if(username == null && password == null) {
notifyPreloader("Requesting New Credentials");
getNewCredentials();
}
notifyPreloader("Reading remote manifest");
readRemoteManifest();
notifyPreloader("Reading local manifest");
readLocalManifest();
notifyPreloader("Comparing manifests");
compareManifests();
}
private void getNewCredentials() {
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Login window for new credentials
//Save credentials
}
});
}
private void readRemoteManifest() {
// REST API call to read remote manifest
if(HttpStatus.SC_UNAUTHORIZED) { // Stored credentials might have been read the first time which are expired, so try again.
getNewCredentials();
readRemoteManifest();
} else {
// update remote manifest object
}
}
private void readLocalManifest() {
// Update local manifest object
}
private void showAlert() {
Platform.runLater( new Runnable() {
// Display Alert window
});
}
private void compareManifests() {
if(remoteManifest == null) {
showAlert();
}
if(localAlert == null) {
showAlert();
}
if(remoteBuildNumber != localBuildNumber) {
showAlert();
}
}
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage){
//UI to select options and run tests
}
}
I have three issues with this approach.
If I don't user Platform.runLater() for Alert Windows and Login Windows, then I get an error saying Not on FX application thread; currentThread = JavaFX Application Thread error?
If I use Platform.runLater() then even though the login window is active, the remaining alert windows also show up immediately without waiting to read the login credentials.
If I manually create the file to store current credentials, then any alert window that I have shows up twice.
Let me know if you need any additional info.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT-1:
Someone gave me an answer to fix the first two issues. But now the answer is missing. If they can re-post the answer, it would be helpful for others.
The solution was to move the Platform.runLater() code to compareManifests() method from showAlert() method. Instead I moved the Platform.runLater() to init() method. Now I only have one call to runLater().
The modified code to fix the first two issues.
public class UI extends Application
{
String username=null, password=null;
Manifest remoteManifest, localManifest;
#Override
public void init() {
Platform.runLater( new Runnable() {
public void run() {
notifyPreloader("Loading Stored Credentials");
loadStoredCredentials();
if(username == null && password == null) {
notifyPreloader("Requesting New Credentials");
getNewCredentials();
}
notifyPreloader("Reading remote manifest");
readRemoteManifest();
notifyPreloader("Reading local manifest");
readLocalManifest();
notifyPreloader("Comparing manifests");
compareManifests();
}
});
}
private void getNewCredentials() {
// Login window for new credentials
//Save credentials
}
private void readRemoteManifest() {
// REST API call to read remote manifest
if(HttpStatus.SC_UNAUTHORIZED) { // Stored credentials might have been read the first time which are expired, so try again.
getNewCredentials();
readRemoteManifest();
} else {
// update remote manifest object
}
}
private void readLocalManifest() {
// Update local manifest object
}
private void showAlert() {
// Display Alert window
}
private void compareManifests() {
if(remoteManifest == null) {
showAlert();
}
if(localAlert == null) {
showAlert();
}
if(remoteBuildNumber != localBuildNumber) {
showAlert();
}
}
private void loadStoredCredentials() {
// Read the credentials from a local file
}
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage){
//UI to select options and run tests
}
}
Issue 3 is still occurring, there are two login windows being displayed now.
Thanks.

When does the facebook login finish and return successful?(Android)

I am working on implementing Facebook login to my Android application and just got finished with the login flow tutorial. However I am unsure of where to set up the change to a different activity after a successful login. I trid looking online but most of the help is from a year or two ago and is out of date. Any help will be appreciated. Also if you need to see some code let me know. I wasn't sure what would be needed for an example and I don't want to paste it all. Thanks in advance

like this
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
uiHelper = new UiLifecycleHelper(this, callback);
uiHelper.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
...
}
private void onFacebookSessionStateChange(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
SessionState sessionState = state == null ? session.getState() : state;
switch (sessionState) {
case OPENED_TOKEN_UPDATED:
case OPENED:
case CREATED_TOKEN_LOADED:
makeAnyFacebokRequest(session);
break;
case CLOSED_LOGIN_FAILED:
ErrorLocalization.showToast(TAG, getApplicationContext(), exception);
break;
}
}

Check WebView's URL while Unit Testing in Robotium

Im trying to figure out the easiest way to check my Main Activity's URL inside my (WebView). This is going to be in a Unit Test using the Robotium 4.1 framework. All i am trying to figure out how i can interact with the webview, such as send the activity a URL to load, so i can test against that and make sure the correct URL is loaded and also check my actionbar items as well.
Any Codes, suggestions or recommendations would be highly appreciated.
public class ErrorHandling extends
ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<Webview_Main> {
private Solo solo;
private WebView web;
..
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(),getActivity());
}
Updated per recommendations (Currently - NullPointerException Erorrs)
public void testUrl() {
String URL = solo.getString(com.example.webview.R.string.url);
web = (WebView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.webview_main); //Added
try {
solo.assertCurrentActivity("Launching Main Activity", Webview_Main.class);
assertTrue(solo.getWebUrl().equals("URL")); }
catch (Error error) {
}
}
public void testWeb() {
try {
web = (WebView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.webview_main); //Added
solo.getCurrentActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
web.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
});
solo.sleep(1000);
} catch (Error error) {
}
}

first, calling
web.getSettings();
gives you nothing. It provides you WebSettings, but you don't do anything with that object.
To assert current url in your webview you can use:
assertTrue(solo.getWebUrl().equals("your url"));
To load specified url in your webview you have to run it in another thread (here I'm not sure, if it should be runOnMainSync or runOnUiThread, however I tried runOnUiThread and it worked fine), for instance:
solo.getCurrentActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
web.loadUrl("http://www.OTHER_url_TO_test_AGAINST");
}
});

The steps to check the URL are as follows:
1) Create the webview object for the specific application
obj = (WebView)getActivity().findViewById((package name of source or apk).R.id.(Id of the source webview))
Note: If you dont have the source code of the source application of whome you are writing the test case then use the hierarchy viewer to find the id of the webview.
2) Add some sleep so that it will wait the time taken to load the url
solo.sleep(time)
3) Use this to get the current value or status of the application.
obj.getSettings()
4) Take a Boolean variable and store the value of
Boolean variable = solo.getWebUrl().equals("URL to be tested");
5) assertTrue(Boolean variable)
To verify the value true or false.
