Application logs in, but redirects back to login

I have a piece of code that do not work, and I cannot understand why. As the subject says, it logs in to Twitter, but redirects back to the sign in button. setupTimeline(); is never executed.
I am using twitter4j library, it is at the latest version, 4.0.7.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Get the preferences for the app.
tweetzPrefs = getSharedPreferences("TweetzPrefs", 0);
// Find out if the user preferences are set.
if (tweetzPrefs.getString("user_token", null) == null) {
// No user preferences so prompt to sign in.
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Get a twitter instance for authentication.
tweetzTwitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
// Pass developer key and secret.
tweetzTwitter.setOAuthConsumer(TWIT_KEY, TWIT_SECRET);
// Try to get request token.
try {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
// Get authentication request token.
tweetzRequestToken = tweetzTwitter.getOAuthRequestToken(TWIT_URL);
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Are we there Yeti?");
} catch (TwitterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "TwitterException: " + e.getMessage());
}
if (tweetzRequestToken == null) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "tweetzRequestToken == null.");
}
}
}).start();
// Get authentication request token.
// tweetzRequestToken = tweetzTwitter.getOAuthRequestToken(TWIT_URL);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
// Setup button for click listener.
Button signIn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.signin);
signIn.setOnClickListener(this);
} else {
// User preferences are set, get timeline.
setupTimeline();
}
}
Any ideas anyone?
Regards.

Trouble sending data from Android to Arduino via Bluetooth

I'm trying to set up a system where an android app connects to Arduino via Bluetooth and tells it to either turn on or off its LED. I've looked through a lot of pages and source code and saw many people did it as I did but somehow my code isn't working and I cannot determine why.
Here's the entirety of my Arduino code, really simple and short.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial Blue(0,1); // rx tx
int LED = 13; // Led connected
char data;
char state = 0;
void setup()
{
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
Serial.begin(9600);
Blue.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
while(Blue.available()==0);
if(Blue.available()>0){ // read from android via bluetooth
data = Blue.read();
Serial.println(data);
}
if (data == '1') // If data is 1, turn ON the LED
{
digitalWrite(LED,HIGH);
Serial.println("LED ON ");
}
if( data == '2') // if data is 2, turn OFF the LED
{
digitalWrite(LED,LOW);
Serial.println("LED OFF");
}
}
And here's a snippet of my android code that sends data to Arduino to control LED
switchLight.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { // button that will switch LED on and off
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.i("[BLUETOOTH]", "Attempting to send data");
if (mmSocket.isConnected() && btt != null) { //if we have connection to the bluetoothmodule
if (!lightflag) {
try{
mmSocket.getOutputStream().write("1".toString().getBytes());
showToast("on");
}catch (IOException e) {
showToast("Error");
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
//btt.write(sendtxt.getBytes());
lightflag = true;
} else {
try{
mmSocket.getOutputStream().write("2".toString().getBytes());
showToast("off");
}catch (IOException e) {
showToast("Error");
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
//btt.write(sendtxt.getBytes());
lightflag = false;
}
}
else {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Something went wrong", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
This is the part of the code that connects to Arduino Bluetooth module. Again, fairly simple stuff and its only purpose are to connect to the module.
BluetoothAdapter bta; //bluetooth stuff
BluetoothSocket mmSocket; //bluetooth stuff
BluetoothDevice mmDevice; //bluetooth stuff
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.i("[BLUETOOTH]", "Creating listeners");
final TextView response = findViewById(R.id.response);
Button switchLight = findViewById(R.id.switchlight);
Button connectBT = findViewById(R.id.connectBT);
connectBT.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
mmDevice = bta.getRemoteDevice(MODULE_MAC);
Log.i("[BLUETOOTH]", "Attempting to send data");
try {
tmp = mmDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);
mmSocket = tmp;
mmSocket.connect();
Log.i("[BLUETOOTH]","Connected to: "+mmDevice.getName());
showToast("Connected to: " + mmDevice.getName());
}catch(IOException e){
try {mmSocket.close();
}catch(IOException c){return;}
}
}
});
When I connect my android to the Arduino and track the serial monitor on Arduino IDE, instead of reading either 1 or 2, it reads something that looks like this:
This is produced using the Serial. println function in my Arduino code and I'm pretty sure it should display 1 or 2 but as you can see it does not. I've tried multiple workarounds like declaring it as int or char etc. If you can pinpoint any issue I'd much appreciate it.

Send parse push notification on button click android

What I need is when the user clicks on a button, a push notification will be sent to all users using this app.
I tried using this code in a setOnclickListener method, but nothing was sent after clicking on it.
Note: Sending a push notification from Parse Dashboard works perfectly
fine.
ParsePush parsePush = new ParsePush();
ParseQuery query = ParseInstallation.getQuery();
parsePush.setQuery(query);
parsePush.setMessage("A new file has been Updated. Check it out!");
parsePush.sendInBackground(new SendCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseException arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d(TAG, "SendCallback success:");
if(arg0 == null)
{
Log.d(TAG,
"suceess push notification :");
}
else
{
Log.d(TAG,
"failed push notification :"
+ arg0.getMessage());
}
}
});
}
});
- EDIT - in response to Bradley Wilson's answer
- this still did not work
ParsePush parsePush = new ParsePush();
ParseQuery<ParseInstallation> parseQueryInstallation = ParseQuery.getQuery(ParseInstallation.class);
parsePush.setQuery(parseQueryInstallation);
parsePush.setMessage("A new file has been Updated. Check it out!");
parsePush.sendInBackground(new SendCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseException arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d(TAG, "SendCallback success:");
if(arg0 == null)
{
Log.d(TAG,
"suceess push notification :");
}
else
{
Log.d(TAG,
"failed push notification :"
+ arg0.getMessage());
}
}
- EDIT 2 - in response to Suresh Kumar's answer
- For some reason, cloud code never works in my projects. It just doesn't identify any Cloud code and keeps it in red as shown in this image

The better way to send push notification in Parse is through cloud code. Create a cloud function to send push notification and call that cloud function in android using ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground().
HashMap<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
params.put("recipientId", userObject.getObjectId());
params.put("message", message);
ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground("sendPushToUser", params, new FunctionCallback<String>() {
void done(String success, ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
// Push sent successfully
}
}
});

android Java - Textview not appending text when activity restarts

I've been trying to create a function in my app that consist in a bluetooth RFID scanner, it's paired to my device and I have it working and all.
I can receive the text and log it in the console, when I compile the activity, everything goes fine, the stick reads the code, and then appends the text into an EditText, but if I go back and enter the activity again, I can see the code in the log, but the text doesn't go to the Edittext.
I tried a lot of different approaches, but nothing seems to work :/
here's the code I have:
/**
* Called when the activity is first created.
*/
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.bluetooth);
mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
Set<BluetoothDevice> bondedSet = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
if (mBluetoothAdapter == null) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Bluetooth is not available.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Please enable your BT and re-run this program.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish();
}
if (mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
if(bondedSet.size() == 1){
for(BluetoothDevice device : bondedSet){
address = device.getAddress();
Log.d("bt:", address);
}
}
}
String address = "00:A0:96:2A:0A:1B";
out = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.output);
BluetoothDevice device = mBluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(address);
Log.d(TAG, device.getName() + " connected");
myConnection = new ConnectThread(device);
myConnection.start();
}
private class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mySocket;
Message msg;
public ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice device) {
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
try {
tmp = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d(TAG, "CONNECTION IN THREAD DIDNT WORK");
}
mySocket = tmp;
}
Handler uiThreadHandler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
out = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.output);
Object o = msg.obj;
out.append(o.toString().trim());
Log.d("handler", o.toString());
}
};
public void run() {
out = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.output);
Log.d(TAG, "STARTING TO CONNECT THE SOCKET");
setName("My Connection Thread");
InputStream inStream = null;
boolean run = false;
mBluetoothAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
try {
mySocket.connect();
run = true;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d(TAG, this.getName() + ": CONN DIDNT WORK, Try closing socket");
try {
mySocket.close();
Log.d(TAG, this.getName() + ": CLOSED SOCKET");
} catch (IOException e1) {
Log.d(TAG, this.getName() + ": COULD CLOSE SOCKET", e1);
this.destroy();
}
run = false;
}
synchronized (BluetoothActivity.this) {
myConnection = null;
}
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytes;
// handle Connection
try {
inStream = mySocket.getInputStream();
while (run) {
try {
bytes = inStream.read(buffer);
readMessage = new String(buffer, 0, bytes);
msg = uiThreadHandler.obtainMessage();
msg.obj = readMessage;
uiThreadHandler.sendMessage(msg);
Log.d(TAG, "Received: " + readMessage);
} catch (IOException e3) {
Log.d(TAG, "disconnected");
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

My guess is that this has something to do with the Thread itself. When you start your Activity for the first time, you also call .start() on the Thread, that would work fine.
The problem is when you leave your Activity and open it up again. In that case, one of onStop() or onPause() is called (depending on situation), and onRestart() or onResume() will be called afterwards respectively.
The trick comes now: Meanwhile all that process, your Thread is still running. As you show your code, it has not been stopped/paused, and keeps running all the time. So basically my tip is that there's something you do within your onCreate() method of your Activity that should also be done in your onPause() and onStop() events, and my another tip it's somewhere within your ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice device) method.
To know how to procceed, I'd firstly define both onStop() and onPause() methods within your Activity and see which is fired, log every attribute to see its value/state, and that way you'll be able to debug what is failing.
There's a diagram of the Activity lifecycle.

Problem was solved, the code works, and the TextView get the inputstream, the problem was when i left the activity, the thread continued to work, so far, no problem at all, after TONS of hours spent on this, i turn the TextView a static var and it worked :)
If anyone reads this, i hope it helps.

enquiry about MediaPlayer.setDatasource(URL);

I'm a Beginner in android programming and I want to programming mp3 app to call some mp3 files from URL, so when I show "Media Player" in android developer I put the URL in the setDataSource and it's work fine, but the problem is the Activity take a lot of time to display it and in the sometimes app will be crashed. This is the part of my code :
file_url = Mp3_Linkes[num];
//Set Source
try {
mp.setDataSource(file_url);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Source Error !!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
//Prepare
try {
mp.prepare();
}catch(Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Prepare Error !!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
//Start
mp.start();

Your activity is blocking because you are calling prepare on your Main Thread (UI thread)
Instead You can use prepareAsynch and OnPreparedListener to start specially when loading from remote source:
code :
try {
mp.setDataSource(file_url);
mp.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer player) {
player.start();
}
});
mp.prepareAsync();
