I am trying to write a step counter for android. It currently includes four buttons in one activity:
a button to start recording accelerometer data which is stored in an arraylist. The arraylist takes a type Trace, which is a class I created to hold the data of one sensor change. I also have a stop button, and buttons to read or write the data from text file.
This program keeps giving me a NullPointerException on the arraylist and I can't figure out why. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Sorry if the indentation is off or the code is unclear, this is a school assignment and I'm on a strict deadline so I have to rush to make the code usable before I can worry about readability or efficiency.
EDIT 2: I no longer get any exceptions, however I still cannot read/write properly. I was able to write to file one successfully, and then somehow it stops functioning.
package com.myApp.playpool;
//imports
public class MainActivityBAK extends Activity implements SensorEventListener{
//global fields (traces is instantiated here as new arraylist)
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
acceleration=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.acceleration);
startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startButton);
stopButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stopButton);
readButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.readButton);
writeButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.writeButton);
sm = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
accelerometer = sm.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
sm.registerListener(this, accelerometer, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME);
dataFilePath = getString(R.string.data_file_path);
acceleration.setText("Current file: " + dataFilePath);
lastCheck = System.currentTimeMillis();
defineButtons();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event1) {
if (running && ((System.currentTimeMillis() - lastCheck) > 1000)) {
acceleration.setText("X: "+event1.values[0]+"\nY: "+event1.values[1]+"\nZ: "+event1.values[2]);
traces.add(new Trace(System.currentTimeMillis(), event1.values[0], event1.values[1], event1.values[2]));
lastCheck = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
}
#Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
}
public void defineButtons() { //defines onClick methods for the buttons
startButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
traces = new ArrayList<Trace>();
running = true;
}
});
stopButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
traces = new ArrayList<Trace>();
running = false;
}
});
readButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
scan = new Scanner(new File(dataFilePath));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
while (scan.hasNext()) {
String str = scan.nextLine();
String [] strings = str.split(";");
double time = Double.parseDouble(strings[0]);
float x = Float.parseFloat(strings[0]), y = Float.parseFloat(strings[1]), z = Float.parseFloat(strings [2]);
traces.add(new Trace(time, x, y, z));
}
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
("Done reading to SD file: '" + dataFilePath + "'"),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
scan.close();
}
});
writeButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
File file = new File(dataFilePath);
print = new PrintWriter(file);
file.createNewFile();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
for (int i = 0; i < traces.size(); i++) {
double time = traces.get(i).time;
float x = traces.get(i).x, y = traces.get(i).y, z = traces.get(i).z;
print.println(time + ";" + x + ";" + y + ";" + z + ";");
}
print.close();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
("Done writing to SD file: '" + dataFilePath + "'"),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}
It seems to be crashing in the for loop in the write method:
for (int i = 0; i < traces.size(); i++) {
You are only initializing the traces variable if your buttons start or stop are clicked.
If you click the "write" button before that, then the reference is still null.
It looks perhaps like traces has not been initialized in either onSensorChanged() or in your readButton.setOnClickListener, although it's hard to tell without the full source code or stack trace. If traces is a "// global field" then you should probably initialize it where it's declared, like:
protected ArrayList<Trace> traces = new ArrayList<Trace>();
EDIT for 2nd Question
My guess is that using the File.createNewFile() method won't work if the file already exists. Maybe try a different approach, like this sample:
Writer writer = null;
try {
OutputStream out = mContext.openFileOutput(dataFileName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
writer = new OutputStreamWriter(out);
for (int i = 0; i < traces.size(); i++) {
double time = traces.get(i).time;
float x = traces.get(i).x, y = traces.get(i).y, z = traces.get(i).z;
writer.write(time + ";" + x + ";" + y + ";" + z + ";");
}
}
finally {
if (writer != null) {
writer.close();
}
}

Probably you want to jump to Update 2 and check the code if needed
I am building a barcode scanner and having difficulty in passing data that I have captured from an inner class that extends BroadcastReceiver to MainActivity class, I do understand the difference between static and non static objects, but I got stuck.
Cant invoke my logic method from the inner class.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){...}
public void Logic(String result){// Do something...}
//Inner Class
public static class ScanResultReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {...
// data here captured fine!
// Here I want to send my data to MainActivity Logic(result)
Logic(result);
}
}
If I make "Logic()" as Static method, I get a lot of errors regards to calling non static from static method from Toaster/variables..etc
Update
This method is inside MainActivity, I do want to call it from the inner class
public void Logic(String result) throws Exception {

Update 2
Not sure if I need to have another thread for this but I will put what I have found, my issue have narrowed to the following:
I am waiting on an intent called
<action android:name="device.scanner.USERMSG" />
with a permission
android:permission="com.permission.SCANNER_RESULT_RECEIVER"
now my issue
if a user tap button and released in less than .5 second onKeyup() event will be fired before my onReceive() that is inside the static class which is extends BroadcastReceiver, and that causes problem because Logic() will be invoked before updating the String inside onReceive()
if user hold the button long enough, onReceive will be invoked and everything is good and happy.
How can I make sure that onReceive() always invoked first?
public boolean onKeyUp(int keycode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keycode == 221 || keycode == 220 || keycode == 222) {
Logic(result);
}
return true;
}
Move this line of code:
public void Logic(String result){// Do something...}
inside your class ScanResultReceiver and it will work for sure. Your code should look like this:
public static class ScanResultReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public ScanResultReceiver() {
//empty constructor
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {...
// data here captured fine!
// Here I want to send my data to MainActivity Logic(result)
Logic(result);
}
public void Logic(String result){/* ... */}
}
I'd like to get the string value output from AsyncTask. And store it into a variable on my main thread. How can I do so?
I tried to do store = new ReceiveData().execute().get() however it throws an execution exception error. But anyway, my question is not about the execution exception error. I just need a way to get the string out, please help!
Here is my activity code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { //MAIN ACTIVITIES (REMOTE)
double multiplier;
int seekbarvalue, finallumens;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT); //On orientation change socket will disconnect...
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, LoginActivity.SERVER_IP, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//================START AFTER DEFAULT ON CREATE=================
SeekBar seekbarbrightness = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.seekbarbrightness);
final TextView tblumens, tbvolts, tbamps;
tblumens = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tblumens);
seekbarvalue = seekbarbrightness.getProgress();
multiplier = (double) seekbarvalue / 100;
finallumens = (int) (multiplier * LoginActivity.enterlumens);
tblumens.setText(String.valueOf(finallumens) + " Lumens");
tbvolts = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tbvolts);
tbamps = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tbamps);
seekbarbrightness.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekbarbrightness, int progress, boolean b) {
if (b == true) {
seekbarvalue = seekbarbrightness.getProgress();
multiplier = (double) seekbarvalue / 100;
finallumens = (int) (multiplier * LoginActivity.enterlumens);
tblumens.setText(String.valueOf(finallumens) + " Lumens");
if (LoginActivity.getSocket() != null) {
try {
LoginActivity.getSocket().getOutputStream().write(String.valueOf(multiplier).getBytes());
new ReceiveData().execute();
//infinite loop here to keep receiving volts and amperes.
//Do a split and assign value to volt and amp
//String[] strrecv= store.split("|");
//String volts = strrecv[0];
//String amps = strrecv[1];
//tbvolts.setText("Voltage: " + volts + " V");
//tbamps.setText("Amperes:" + amps + " A");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "NOT connected To Socket, please disconnect and reconnect!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
#Override
public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
}
#Override
public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
}
});
}
And in my Asynctask I am doing this.
class ReceiveData extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
String str;
protected String doInBackground(Void... args) {
try {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(LoginActivity.getSocket().getInputStream()));
str = in.readLine();
return str;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
String str = "fail";
return str;
}
}
protected void onPostExecute(String str) {
//super.onPostExecute(str);
}
}
The purpose of AsyncTask is to perform asynchronous task in a separate thread to free the main thread and avoid UX issues. For your purpose, I suggest transferring all of the work inside your try block inside the AsyncTask and update the UI after execution.
Something like this
In MainThread
new ReceiveData().execute();
In AsyncTask
class ReceiveData extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean> {
String volts;
String amps;
protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... args) {
try {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(LoginActivity.getSocket().getInputStream()));
str = in.readLine();
String[] strrecv= store.split("|");
volts = strrecv[0];
amps = strrecv[1];
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
return true;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
if (result) {
tbvolts.setText("Voltage: " + volts + " V");
tbamps.setText("Amperes:" + amps + " A");
}
}
}
Note that this only works if your AsyncTask is defined inside your Activity. If not, you need to create an interface from the AsyncTask and implement it in your activity and activate it onPostExecute

When index is 0, when set command is executed, it also changes the the value at index position '1'. Can anyone help me with this?
You are definitely mistaken as to what it is causing this. Setting the value at one position of an ArrayList WILL NOT mysteriously cause the value at another position to change. It simply does not work like that.
The effect you are observing will be due to something else:
maybe the value of index is not what you expect
maybe the value of event.values is not what you expect. (Maybe you've made a mistake in the way that you create the Event objects, and they are all sharing one float[] object.)
maybe the value at position 1 was already that value
maybe you've got multiple threads updating the sensorValues list.
I would like to set the size and color of the text at random during onCreate method
Here is my code:
private TextView start;
private boolean isClicked;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
start = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvStart);
isclick = false;
Random r = new Random();
while (isclick = false)
{
start.setTextSize(r.nextInt(50));
start.setTextColor(Color.rgb(r.nextInt(256), r.nextInt(256),
r.nextInt(256)));
}
}
This code of mine doesn't work.
During onCreate I want the text size and color continuously and randomly changing.
It works for me :( let me know is there is a problem )
private boolean isclick;
Handler handler ;
private TextView start;
private boolean isClicked;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
start = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvStart);
handler = new Handler();
isclick = false;
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
while (isclick == false)
{
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Random r = new Random();
start.setTextSize(r.nextInt(50));
start.setTextColor(Color.rgb(r.nextInt(256), r.nextInt(256),
r.nextInt(256)));
}
});
Log.w("DEBUG","Text View value : "+ start.getText().toString());
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}).start();
}
you need to use a handler sins your are modifying UI widgets
this article may help you .
Here is some code that works on a TextView called x
//create random value between 0 and 70
int random = (int)Math.ceil(Math.random()*70);
x.setTextSize((float)random);
int red = (int)Math.ceil(Math.random()*255);
int green = (int)Math.ceil(Math.random()*255);
int blue = (int)Math.ceil(Math.random()*255);
Color randomcolor = new Color();
if (red < 16){
hexred = "0" + Integer.toHexString(red);
}else {
hexred = Integer.toHexString(red);
}
if (green < 16){
hexgreen = "0" + Integer.toHexString(green);
}else {
hexgreen = Integer.toHexString(green);
}
if (blue < 16){
hexblue = "0" + Integer.toHexString(blue);
}else {
hexblue = Integer.toHexString(blue);
}
String color = "#" + hexred + hexgreen + hexblue;
x.setTextColor(randomcolor.parseColor(color));
Continuasly changing is not recommended however. If you want to make it continuasly change color, chance is that the update of the color and size are to slow that nothing is displayed. Also it might happen that the entire XML layout is not loaded because of the calculations on the xml.
if you want your text randomly changing continously, use thread.
put your "while" action. inside run method, and give some delay on it.
I think its because of a missing = in the isclick = false if clause. It should be isclick==false.
I'm newbie in java. So the program should take the user entered text and if there is "a" it gonna play a-sound, if there is "b" it gonna play b-sound.And it must play this sounds one by one even if there are multiple "a" or "b". Here is my code:

The problem is that it starts playing audio files all at one time. I tried to add some OnCompletionListener, but I don't know what to do with it. Help me please.
What you can do is
//define a variable to be used as index.
int audioindex = 0;
//Extract the files id into an array
int[] audioFileIds=new int[]{R.raw.as,R.raw.bs};
Then in your MediaPlayer onCompletionListener put something like following.
then in your OnCompletionListener.
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener(){
// #Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer player) {
// File has ended, play the next one.
FunctionPlayFile(audioFileIds[audioindex]);
audioindex+=1; //increment the index to get the next audiofile
}
});
