Getting int to UI thread

Getting int to UI thread - java

I am developing an Android application that brute-forces an MD5 sum created from an int.
The brute forcing part works fine. (I can sysout the final value and it's correct.)
I'm having problems getting the output value onto an alert dialog. Logcat says: Attempting to initialize hardware acceleration outside of the main thread, aborting
It's aborting on the last statement in my code, the one that actually shows the alert dialog;
builder.show();
Here's my MainActivity.java:

As the UI Thread says:to move data from a background thread to the UI thread, use a Handler that's running on the UI thread.
You create Handler in method updateUI ，but the updateUI is created in thread other than UI Thread,so you get the error.
You need to try like this:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
super.handleMessage(msg);
switch (msg.what) {
case 1:
test((int)msg.obj);
}
}
}
public void updateUI(final int pass) {
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what=1;
msg.obj = pass;
mHandler.sendMessage(msg);
}
}

According to the documentation,
A Handler allows you to send and process Message and Runnable objects associated with a thread's MessageQueue. Each Handler instance is associated with a single thread and that thread's message queue. When you create a new Handler, it is bound to the thread / message queue of the thread that is creating it -- from that point on, it will deliver messages and runnables to that message queue and execute them as they come out of the message queue.
So you are creating the handler in the "updateUI" method and that method is called from a thread other than the UI thread, in this case you need to declare your Handler as a member variable and initialize the Handler in the onCreate method.
Handler

you can do everything u want in inside run method:
but its not very safe!
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
}
});

i want to change the String to int from this part:
final String strInput = new String(buffer, 0, i);
so i can use it on this part :
if(data < hi){
Log.d(TAG, "succes");
}
i tried to use
int data = Integer.parseInt(strInput);
but well of course it span error because its string buffer and only the first one is changed
so how do i solve this prob?if any one can help
I already tried using arraylist but still error
Here is the error code :
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

The error message is telling you what is wrong. Your input appears to be "40 and " is not a numeric character. You need make sure your inputted strings are numeric OR you need to extract the numeric component from the string BEFORE attempting to convert it into an integer. You could try new String(buffer, 1, i) if the character at index 0 is always the double quote character.
UPDATE:
Based on your last comment posted here, you need to initialize your strInput as follows (This is an example):
byte[] bytes = new byte[5];
bytes[0] = 49; // this is the ASCII value of the number "1"
bytes[1] = '\u0000'; // These are null characters
bytes[2] = '\u0000';
bytes[3] = '\u0000';
bytes[4] = '\u0000';
String temp = new String(bytes); // convert the byte array to String
String str = temp.substring(0, temp.indexOf('\u0000')); // parse the numeric contents
System.out.println(str); // You should see "1" printed out
int number = Integer.parseInt(str); // Because I parsed the numeric contents, it is safe to convert the String to a number.

thread.sleep has suddenly stopped working

I am currently working on my finals project on android.
the project is about a SimonSays game:
in my Simon Says game a have a section where the application is supposed to sleep
but it does , i think its because my teacher added all of these try and catch
functions, how do i fix it?

basically i have this function that lights up a series of buttons (switches their color in a certain order) ,
then i have a function which receives the user input ( what buttons the user pressed and in what order).
what i want to do by that sleep is to put a little break between the end of the color input(when the user finishes to press stuff), and the beginning of the light up ( when the buttons lightup/change their color).
i think the problem comes with all of the these try and catch functions or however they're called (sorry i am a beginner) however i don't know hwo to overcome this.

You should avoid Thread.sleep(). Use handler for doing UI related operation.
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Do something here
}
}, 5000);
If you get some time please go through the below link. This will give an idea of handler and thread.
Android, Handler is running in main thread or other thread?

In android, you can use Handler to wait for as much as you want, here's an example of 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds) delay:
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// this code will run after 2 seconds
}
}, 2000);
Just insert this code anywhere you need to wait/sleep your thread.

It's better to use Handler instead to Thread.sleep();
Just Replace this
//this is the sleep that doesn't work
try {
t.sleep(500);
// Do some stuff
} catch (Exception e) {
e.getLocalizedMessage();
}
//this is the sleep that doesn't work
With
Handler handler1=new Handler();
handler1.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
lightUp(0);
}
},500);

How to pass a separate looper to a thread using HandlerThread class

I have a Handler called 'bluetoothIn' and I want to pass it to a separate looper using the HandlerThread class which will provide the looper. However I need to post the results back to the UI thread from 'handleMessage(Message msg)' since I can't modify UI elements from threads other than the main thread.

runOnUi might be a good choice for this
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

Sorry, I made a mistake. I think the error is causing by the code bluetoothIn.obtainMessage(handlerState, bytes, -1, buffer).sendToTarget();
change to
bluetoothIn.obtainMessage(handlerState, bytes, -1, new String(buffer)).sendToTarget();
Remove the code I wrote. It is no use.

Runtime Error using Timer - Android

I'm using Timer example as given here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2535778/4549769

Use post() method on textview. Runnable will be run on user interface thread.This is example how to update textview inside run method of TimerTask.
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private TextView textView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
#Override
public void run() {
textView.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
textView.setText("Arun");
}
});
}
}, 3000, 3000);
}
}
In your case you can add like
intensityTextView.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
intensityTextView.setText(String.valueOf(_intensity));
}
});

Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask()
{
public void run()
{
mHandler.obtainMessage(1).sendToTarget();
}
}, delayStartingTimeMs, repeatTimeMs);
public Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
setControl(); //this is where textView gets Updated
}
mHandler must be in the Main Thread!

Updating the UI upon receiving an android push notification

I have a query regarding android push notification and i had asked it in another stackoverflow post and i did not get much help out of it [Query regarding Android push notifications. So i am posting it again, and it is as follows:
I have an android app that receives push notifications from Google push notification service. When i tap on the received notification, it opens an UI which displays this message, it is a list view. Now, when the user receives the push notification, and assuming that this screen is open, the UI should be refreshed automatically, such that it displays the latest notification. Could anybody let me know how i can solve this?
Below is my code that i have implemented:
Java code to receive the notification:
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;

import android.os.PowerManager;
import android.util.Log;
import com.example.foodu.R;
import com.google.android.gcm.GCMBaseIntentService;
public class GCMIntentService extends GCMBaseIntentService {
private static final String TAG = "GCM ::Service";
// Use your PROJECT ID from Google API into SENDER_ID
public static final String SENDER_ID = "53340195486";
public GCMIntentService() {
super(SENDER_ID);
}
#Override
protected void onError(Context arg0, String errorId) {
Log.e(TAG, "onError: errorId=" + errorId);
}
#Override
protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent data) {
String message;
// Message from PHP server
message = data.getStringExtra("message");
// Open a new activity called GCMMessageView
Intent intent = new Intent(this, com.example.foodu.Notification.class);
// Pass data to the new activity
intent.putExtra("message", message);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
// Starts the activity on notification click
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Create the notification with a notification builder
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_logo)
.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
.setContentTitle("Deals")
.setContentText(message).setContentIntent(pIntent)
.getNotification();
// Remove the notification on click
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
manager.notify(R.string.app_name, notification);
{
// Wake Android Device when notification received
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
final PowerManager.WakeLock mWakelock = pm.newWakeLock(
PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK
| PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP, "GCM_PUSH");
mWakelock.acquire();
// Timer before putting Android Device to sleep mode.
Timer timer = new Timer();
TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
mWakelock.release();
}
};
timer.schedule(task, 5000);
}
}

Use LocalBroadcastManager
Check following code / steps
1) Add in your activity (UI refresh Activity)
private BroadcastReceiver mMyBroadcastReceiver;
Then ,
2) In onResume
#Override
protected void onResume() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onResume();
mMyBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
// Here you can refresh your listview or other UI
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Receiver", 2000).show();
}
};
try {
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(mMyBroadcastReceiver,new IntentFilter("your_action"));
} catch (Exception e)
{
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}}
// and your other code
3) Then unregister in onPause
#Override
protected void onPause() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPause();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).unregisterReceiver(mMyBroadcastReceiver);
}
4) Finally add in your GCM reciver class.
first check your activity is Visible or not using static variable
if visible add
Intent gcm_rec = new Intent("your_action"); LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(arg0).sendBroadcast(gcm_rec);
else
use Notification Manager for notification.
I think this is easy and best way to refresh your listview UI / call Fetching method.
