We Keep Coding

I have a function, and in it i am running an thread using Anonymous class, so how to return value to that function

The code below will make it more clear:
public static String TCMResponse(String params, final Context c) {
final String url = "https://115.248.161.106/ois/API/android/" + params;
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
String response="";
try {
Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).validateTLSCertificates(false).timeout(6000).get();
response = doc.text();
}
catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("Err","External OIS not reachable!");
}
// I want to return 'response' here, for the TCMResponse()
}
}).start();
}
So as you can see from the code, there is a function, TCMResponse() which takes the parameters of the url which i pass, and it does web scraping, i know all these can be done using volley/ JSONParser easily. But i am just experimenting, how to parse using web scraping.
So after the page is scraped, i need that function to return the response of the scraped page,
I've used Callable with executor service, but it again freezes the thread..
Have a look on what i've done:
public static String TCMResponse(String params, final Activity act) {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
.permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
final String url = "https://115.248.161.106/ois/API/android/" + params;
response="";
class MyBgThread implements Callable<String>
{
#Override
public String call() throws Exception {
try{
Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).validateTLSCertificates(false).timeout(6000).get();
return doc.text();
}catch (Exception e)
{
Log.d("Exception",e.toString());
Snackbar.with(act, null)
.type(Type.ERROR)
.message("Something got wrong!")
.duration(Duration.LONG)
.show();
return "{'auth':'false'}";
}
}
}
Callable<String> worker = new MyBgThread();
ExecutorService ex = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
Future<String> future = ex.submit(worker);
try{
response = future.get();
}catch(Exception e)
{
Log.d("Thread Ex",e+"");
}
ex.shutdown();
return response;
}

The main thread gets blocked because of your call to Future::get().
From the docs:
Waits if necessary for the computation to complete, and then retrieves its result.
which means; if the task Thread has not yet finished, the current Thread will wait until it returns a result.
I can see another problem in your code: you are showing a Snackbar, which is a UI component, in a Thread that is not the UI Thread.
Since you are working on Android, I would definitely use an AsyncTask, perform the expensive call in doInBackground(), then update the UI in onPostExecute().

Asynchronously running a task and returning after thread is active

I have been working with threads to send a GET request to a link (all good). However, I need it to run asynchronously, so I made a new thread and ran it. Problem is I need it to return the value returnVar[0] after the thread is done executing. I have tried while loops with !thread.isActive but of course, the method body needs a return statement. I have tried CountdownLatches which you are about to see, but they pause the main thread which I DON'T want. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Code:
public String getUUID(String username) {
final String[] returnVar = {"ERROR"};
final CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);
Thread thread = new Thread(() -> {
final String[] response = {"ERROR"};
final JSONObject[] obj = new JSONObject[1];
response[0] = ConnectionsManager.sendGet("https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/" + username);
try {
obj[0] = (JSONObject) new JSONParser().parse(response[0]);
returnVar[0] = (String) obj[0].get("id");
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
latch.countDown();
});
thread.start();
try {
latch.await();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return returnVar[0];
}

I think you should consider using a Callable instead of a Runnable. See this thread for explanation and examples.
Also, it's a little strange that you are using the CountDownLatch with one thread. The latch is useful to make sure multiple threads are started as uniformly as possible rather than some threads getting a 'head start' in a more traditional startup.

this is an improper use of Threads.
your code runs exactly like the below code :
public String getUUID(String username) {
String response = ConnectionsManager.sendGet("https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/" + username);
try {
return (String) ((JSONObject) new JSONParser().parse(response)).get("id");
} catch (ParseException e) {
return "ERROR";
}
}
there are several options to make async call.
one option is to use CompletableFuture :
CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(getUUID("username")).thenAccept(new Consumer<String>() {
#Override
public void accept(String response) {
// response of async HTTP GET
}
});

OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread using ExecutorService

I launched my instance overnight to see how it handled things and when I came by this morning, I was facing a
Exception in thread "pool-535-thread-7" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread
at java.lang.Thread.start0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Thread.start(Thread.java:691)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.addWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:943)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.processWorkerExit(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:992)[info] application - Connecting to server A
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1128)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:603)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)
The aim of my code is quite simple : Every 5 minutes, I connect to a list of remote server, send a request (via socket) and that's it.
Here's my code :
My "cron" task :
/** will create a new instance of ExecutorService every 5 minutes, loading all the websites in the database to check their status **/
/** Maybe that's where the problem is ? I need to empty (GC ?) this ExecutorService ? **/
Akka.system().scheduler().schedule(
Duration.create(0, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS), // Initial delay 0 milliseconds
Duration.create(5, TimeUnit.MINUTES), // Frequency 5 minutes
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// We get the list of websites to check
Query<Website> query = Ebean.createQuery(Website.class, "WHERE disabled = false AND removed IS NULL");
query.order("created ASC");
List<Website> websites = query.findList(); // Can be 1, 10, 100, 1000. In my test case, I had only 9 websites.
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(NTHREDS);
for (Website website : websites) {
CheckWebsite task = new CheckWebsite(website);
executor.execute(task);
}
// This will make the executor accept no new threads
// and finish all existing threads in the queue
executor.shutdown();
}
},
Akka.system().dispatcher()
);
My CheckWebsite class :
public class CheckWebsite implements Runnable {
private Website website;
public CheckWebsite(Website website) {
this.website = website;
}
#Override
public void run() {
WebsiteLog log = website.checkState(); // This is where the request is made, I copy paste the code just after
if (log == null) {
Logger.error("OHOH, WebsiteLog should not be null for website.checkState() in CheckWebsite class :s");
return;
}
try {
log.save();
catch (Exception e) {
Logger.info ("An error occured :/");
Logger.info(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
My checkState() method in Website.class :
public WebsiteLog checkState() {
// Since I use Socket and the connection can hang indefinitely, I use an other ExecutorService in order to limit the time spent
// The duration is defined via Connector.timeout, Which will be the next code.
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
Connector connector = new Connector(this);
try {
final long startTime = System.nanoTime();
Future<String> future = executor.submit(connector);
String response = future.get(Connector.timeout, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
long duration = System.nanoTime() - startTime;
return PlatformLog.getLastOccurence(this, response, ((int) duration/ 1000000));
}
catch (Exception e) {
return PlatformLog.getLastOccurence(this, null, null);
}
}
Here's the Connector.class. I removed useless part here (like Catches) :
public class Connector implements Callable<String> {
public final static int timeout = 2500; // WE use a timeout of 2.5s, which should be enough
private Website website;
public Connector(Website website) {
this.website = website;
}
#Override
public String call() throws Exception {
Logger.info ("Connecting to " + website.getAddress() + ":" + website.getPort());
Socket socket = new Socket();
try {
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(website.getIp(), website.getPort()), (timeout - 50));
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String response = input.readLine();
socket.close();
return response;
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw e;
}
finally {
// I take the precaution to close the socket here in order to avoid a memory leak
// But if the previous ExecutorService force the close of this thread before
// I can't guarantee it will be closed :/
if (socket != null && !socket.isClosed()) {
socket.close();
}
}
}
}
I'm new to Java multithreading so I probably made big mistake. I suspect some area that could be potentially the reason, but my lack of knowledge requires me to ask for your help :)
As a summary, here's the potentials areas :
Creating a new ExecutorService every 5 minutes. Maybe I can reuse the old one ? Or do I need to close the current one when finished (if so, how ?).
The fact that I create an ExecutorService that will create an ExecutorService (in the checkstate() method)
The fact that the Connector class can be (violently) stopped by the ExecutorService running it, if it takes too long, resulting in a socket not closed (and then a memory leak) ?
Also, as you can see, the exception occured for the thread "pool-535-thread-7" which mean it didn't happen soon.
I store the last_occured check in the database, and the creation of the log entry (in WebsiteLog), the delta is around 5 hours (so, for every 5 minutes, the thread crashed after around 60 calls).
Update : Here's the revisited checkState method to include the shutdown call :
public PlatformLog checkState() {
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
Connector connector = new Connector(this);
String response = null;
Long duration = null;
try {
final long startTime = System.nanoTime();
Future<String> future = executor.submit(connector);
response = future.get(Connector.timeout, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
duration = System.nanoTime() - startTime;
}
catch (Exception e) {}
executor.shutdown();
if (duration != null) {
return WebsiteLog.getLastOccurence(this, response, (duration.intValue()/ 1000000));
}
else {
return WebsiteLog.getLastOccurence(this, response, null);
}
}

I'm not sure this is the only problem, but you are creating an ExecutorService in your checkState() method but you don't shut it down.
According to the JavaDocs for Executors.newFixedThreadPool():
The threads in the pool will exist until it is explicitly shutdown.
The threads staying alive will cause the ExecutorService not to be garbage collected (which would call shutdown() on your behalf. Hence you are leaking a thread each time this is called.

Java, Multi Threading, ExecutorService

Following is some parts of my code, which uses Threading. The purpose is to retrieve all the records from database (approx. 5,00,000) and send them alert email messages. The problem I am facing is the variable emailRecords becomes very heavy and too much time is taken to send email message. How can I make it fast by using multi-threading such that 5,00,000 records are processed parallelly? I tried to use ExecutorService but got confused in implementing it. I got mixed up in the method checkName(), getRecords() and sendAlert(). All these 3 methods are used relevantly. So, where to use executorService ??
Please provide me the suggestion how to proceed with the following code and which part needs editing? Thanks in advance!!
public class sampledaemon implements Runnable {
private static List<String[]> emailRecords = new ArrayList<String[]>();
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length != 1) {
return;
}
countryName = args[0];
try {
Thread t = null;
sampledaemon daemon = new sampledaemon();
t = new Thread(daemon);
t.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
}
public void run() {
Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();
try {
while (true) {
checkName(countryName);
Thread.sleep(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(10));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void checkName(String countryName) throws Exception {
Country country = CountryPojo.getDetails(countryName)
if (country != null) {
getRecords(countryconnection);
}
}
private void getRecords(Country country, Connection con) {
String users[] = null;
while (rs.next()) {
users = new String[2];
users[0] = rs.getString("userid");
users[1] = rs.getString("emailAddress");
emailRecords.add(props);
if (emailRecords.size() > 0) {
sendAlert(date, con);
}
}
}
void sendAlert(String date, Connection con) {
for (int k = 0; k < emailRecords.size(); k++) {
//check the emailRecords and send email
}
}
}

From what i can tell is that you would most likely be single threaded data retrieval, and multi-threaded for the e-mail sending. Roughly, you'd be cycling through your result set and building a list of records. When that list hits a certain size, you make a copy and send off that copy to be processed in a thread, and clear the original list. At the end of the result set, check to see if you have unprocessed records in your list, and send that to the pool as well.
Finally, wait for the threadpool to finish processing all records.
Something along these lines:
protected void processRecords(String countryName) {
ThreadPoolExecutor executor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(10, 10, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS,
new ArrayBlockingQueue<Runnable>(5), new ThreadPoolExecutor.CallerRunsPolicy());
List<String[]> emaillist = new ArrayList<String>(1000);
ResultSet rs = ....
try {
while (rs.next()) {
String user[] = new String[2];
users[0] = rs.getString("userid");
users[1] = rs.getString("emailAddress");
emaillist.add(user);
if (emaillist.size() == 1000) {
final List<String[]> elist = new ArrayList<String[]>(emaillist);
executor.execute(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
sendMail(elist);
}
}
emaillist.clear();
}
}
}
finally {
DbUtils.close(rs);
}
if (! emaillist.isEmpty()) {
final List<String[]> elist = emaillist;
executor.execute(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
sendMail(elist);
}
}
emaillist.clear();
}
// wait for all the e-mails to finish.
while (! executor.isTerminated()) {
executor.shutdown();
executor.awaitTermination(10, TimeUnit.DAYS);
}
}

The advantage of using the FixedThreadPool is that you don't have to do the expensive process of creating the threads again and again, its done at the beginning...see below..
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(100);
ArrayList<String> arList = Here your Email addresses from DB will go in ;
for(String s : arList){
executor.execute(new EmailAlert(s));
}
public class EmailAlert implements Runnable{
String addr;
public EmailAlert(String eAddr){
this.addr = eAddr;
}
public void run(){
// Do the process of sending the email here..
}
}

Creating a second thread to do all of the work in instead of doing the same work in the main thread isn't going to help you avoid the problem of filling up the emailRecords list with 5 million records before processing any of them.
It sounds like your goal is to be able to read from the database and send email in parallel. Instead of worrying about the code, first think of an algorithm for the work you want to accomplish. Something like this:
In one thread, query for the records from the database, and for each result, add one job to an ExecutorService
That job sends email to one person/address/record.
or alternatively
Read records from the database in batches of N (50, 100, 1000, etc)
Submit each batch to the executorService

Migrating application made with Processing.org to Eclipse

I made a simple program in Processing, and it works great. Im now attempting to bring my beginner Java skills to Eclipse to make the same program over again. The program takes a Rs232 string that comes from the Com port and sends it over Xmpp.
The issue I'm having is that i cant call newChat.sendMessage(message) like i can in processing from any of the Classes/Tabs. Can someone clue me in to what i should look for to fix this issue. I'm guessing Extending, or implementing the Xmpp class is what i need to do. I love how simple processing handles it..
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Fyi: the Smack library's are in the code folder for processing.

If you know your way around eclipse, first you need to create a new Java project and add Processing's core.jar to the build path and start by creating a sublcass of PApplet. If not, there's a really easy to work with eclipse plugin called Proclipsing and video guide to get started with it.
Bringing your code from Processing to eclipse:
You need to understand that all the code you have in a Processing sketch (including tabs) gets merged into a single .java file and the sketch name is the class name. Any classes you define in tabs in the sketch become nested classes in a main single class. Easiest way to see this is to export an applet and have a look in the generated folder for the SketchName.java file. Remember, a tab is not a class (although it can contain one).
So you've got a few options. Here are two basic approaches:
Create a new PApplet subclass and start pasting your whole code in it (including content of tabs). You will need to de explicit about accessors (e.g. public void setup() instead of just void setup()) and be careful with double/float values (e.g. if eclipse complains about 1.0, be explicit: 1.0f)
The other option is to create multiple classes, as I imagine you intend to do if you're using eclipse. The catch is, in Processing, variables defined in tabs are actually 'global' variables. Your code would work the same way if you declare those in the main tab at the top. Also, using PApplet functions needs to be refactored. Some functions can be called using Java's classes (not PApplet's) to break the dependency: e.g. System.out.println() instead of println(), but of others you might want your classes to have access to a PApplet instance:
e.g.
public class FilterThread extends Thread {
boolean running; // Is the thread running? Yes or no?
int wait; // How many milliseconds should we wait in between executions?
String id; // Thread name
int count; // counter
YourSketchClass parent;
// Constructor, create the thread
// It is not running by default
FilterThread (int w, String s,YourSketchClass p) {
wait = w;
running = false ;
id = s;
count = 0;
parent = p;
}
int getCount() {
return count;
}
// Overriding "start()"
public void start () {
// Set running equal to true
running = true ;
// Print messages
System.out.println ("Starting thread (will execute every " + wait + " milliseconds.)");
// Do whatever start does in Thread, don't forget this!
super .start();
}
// We must implement run, this gets triggered by start()
public void run () {
while (running) {
parent.checkForNewCalls();
// Ok, let's wait for however long we should wait
try {
sleep((long )(wait));
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
}
System.out.println (id + " thread is done!"); // The thread is done when we get to the end of run()
}
// Our method that quits the thread
void quit() {
System.out.println ("Quitting.");
running = false ; // Setting running to false ends the loop in run()
// IUn case the thread is waiting. . .
interrupt();
}
}

Every class which uses the chat-functionality, needs to know the chat-object. You can put all your variables and functions which are not in a separate class in the main source-file.
When you declare a variable in Processing, it can be used from any tab, in java global variables do not exist. You can get a similar functionality like this: Create a new file GlobalVars.java with this content:
public class GlobalVars {
public static Chat myChat;
}
Now everytime you want to access the Chat-functions, you have to write e.g. GlobalVars.myChat.sendMessage("Hi!");
Btw, You have to include the net.jar-file. On Mac this is located here:
Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/modes/java/libraries/net/library/net.jar
