I work on university project in java. I have to download attachments from new emails using GMAIL API.
I successfully connected to gmail account using OAuth 2.0 authorization.
private static final List<String> SCOPES = Collections.singletonList(GmailScopes.GMAIL_READONLY);
I tried to get unseen mails using
ListMessagesResponse listMessageResponse = service.users().messages().list(user).setQ("is:unseen").execute();
listMessageResponse is not null but when I call method .getResultSizeEstimate() it returns 0
also I tried to convert listMessageResponse to List < Message > (I guess this is more usable) using
List<Message> list = listMessageResponse.getMessages();
But list launches NullPointerException
Then tried to get each attachment with
for(Message m : list) {
List<MessagePart> part = m.getPayload().getParts();
for(MessagePart p: part) {
if(p.getFilename()!=null && p.getFilename().length()>0) {
System.out.println(p.getFilename()); // Just to check attachment filename
}
}
}
Is my approach correct (if not how to fix it) and how should I download those attachments.
EDIT 1:
Fixed q parameter, I mistakenly wrote is:unseen instead of is:unread.
Now app reaches unread mails successfully.
(For example there was two unread mails and both successfully reached, I can get theirs IDs easy).
Now this part trows NullPointerException
List<MessagePart> part = m.getPayload().getParts();
Both messages have attachments and m is not null (I get ID with .getID())
Any ideas how to overcome this and download attachment?
EDIT 2:
Attachments Downloading part
for(MessagePart p : parts) {
if ((p.getFilename() != null && p.getFilename().length() > 0)) {
String filename = p.getFilename();
String attId = p.getBody().getAttachmentId();
MessagePartBody attachPart;
FileOutputStream fileOutFile = null;
try {
attachPart = service.users().messages().attachments().get("me", p.getPartId(), attId).execute();
byte[] fileByteArray = Base64.decodeBase64(attachPart.getData());
fileOutFile = new FileOutputStream(filename); // Or any other dir
fileOutFile.write(fileByteArray);
fileOutFile.close();
}catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IO Exception processing attachment: " + filename);
} finally {
if (fileOutFile != null) {
try {
fileOutFile.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// probably doesn't matter
}
}
}
}
}
Downloading working like charm, tested app with different type of emails.
Only thing left is to change label of unread message (that was reached by app) to read. Any tips how to do it?
And one tiny question:
I want this app to fetch mails on every 10 minutes using TimerTask abstract class. Is there need for manual "closing" of connection with gmail or that's done automatically after run() method iteration ends?
#Override
public void run(){
// Some fancy code
service.close(); // Something like that if even exists
}
I don't think ListMessagesResponse ever becomes null. Even if there are no messages that match your query, at least resultSizeEstimate will get populated in the resulting response: see Users.messages: list > Response.
I think you are using the correct approach, just that there is no message that matches your query. Actually, I never saw is:unseen before. Did you mean is:unread instead?
Update:
When using Users.messages: list only the id and the threadId of each message is populated, so you cannot access the message payload. In order to get the full message resource, you have to use Users.messages: get instead, as you can see in the referenced link:
Note that each message resource contains only an id and a threadId. Additional message details can be fetched using the messages.get method.
So in this case, after getting the list of messages, you have to iterate through the list, and do the following for each message in the list:
Get the message id via m.getId().
Once you have retrieved the message id, use it to call Gmail.Users.Messages.Get and get the full message resource. The retrieved message should have all fields populated, including payload, and you should be able to access the corresponding attachments.
Code sample:
List<Message> list = listMessageResponse.getMessages();
for(Message m : list) {
Message message = service.users().messages().get(user, m.getId()).execute();
List<MessagePart> part = message.getPayload().getParts();
// Rest of code
}
Reference:
Class ListMessagesResponse
Users.messages: list > Response
I am having trouble figuring out how to correctly update a custom field using Zendesk Java client API, and I the problem is I am unsure of the syntax of the command.
I'm able to update comments using the zendesk.createComment(), tags, and other fields but just cannot figure out the syntax for custom fields.
Example:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Zendesk zd = new Zendesk.Builder(url)
.setUsername(uid)
.setPassword(pwd)
.build();
}
private static void setComment(Zendesk zd, long inTicket, String inComment) {
Comment cmt = new Comment();
cmt.setBody(inComment);
cmt.setPublic(pubPriv);
zd.createComment(inTicket, cmt);
}
The custom field update can be accomplished using the following example:
/*
When a customer ftps a file to TCS we need to update the ZenDesk ticket
with the file information. The file name is stored in the AddAttachment List
custom field. This is a destructive field so it must be read first and the
new data concatenated after a line feed then re-written.
1) Read current field data
2) Concatenate line feed and new data onto old data
3) Write new field data
*/
long fieldNum = 25326406;
showDebug("In addAttachmentList");
Ticket ticket = zd.getTicket(inTicket);
List<CustomFieldValue> cfvl = ticket.getCustomFields();
for (int i = 0; i < cfvl.size(); i++) {
if (cfvl.get(i).getId() == fieldNum) {
showDebug("Original value: " + cfvl.get(i).getValue());
cfvl.get(i).setValue(cfvl.get(i).getValue() + "\n" + inComment);
cfvl.get(i).setId(fieldNum);
ticket.setCustomFields(cfvl);
showDebug("After Update value: " + cfvl.get(i).getValue());
zd.updateTicket(ticket);
}
}
I realize my questions have been asked a lot but I have spent a considerable amount of time scouring both SO and google trying to get a better understanding of this concept with no success. I've seen many different implementations, which is what leads me to get some advice about my specific situation.
MY OBJECTIVE
I need to perform a post request to a php file and the goal is to ultimately populate fields in a list activity with some of the json data.
HTTP POST RESPONSE
Here is the format of the response data I'm getting back from the server, which appears to be a JSON object of arrays(?).
{"expense":[{"cat_id_PK":237,"cat_name":"Name1","cat_amount":"100.00","is_recurring":0},
{"cat_id_PK":238,"cat_name":"Name2","cat_amount":"200.00","is_recurring":0},
{"cat_id_PK":239,"cat_name":"Name3","cat_amount":"300.00","is_recurring":0},
{"cat_id_PK":240,"cat_name":"Name4","cat_amount":"400.00","is_recurring":0}],
"expense_rec": [{"cat_id_PK":207,"cat_name":"Name5","cat_amount":"500.00","is_recurring":1}]}
FIRST QUESTION
The code below is what I'm using to read the response. Is this how I should be handling that? It seems weird to get a json encoded response and then change it to a string, only to try and access elements of a json object again. Am I on the wrong track here?
//This code is in the doInBackground method of my "sendPostRequest" async task.
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
InputStream inputStream = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
String bufferedStrChunk = null;
while ((bufferedStrChunk = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(bufferedStrChunk);
}
//Returns string to onPostExecute()
return stringBuilder.toString();
SECOND QUESTION
I have another file called "PostResponse.java" that holds the following code I modeled after a tutorial online. I'm unsure of how to interact with this class from the onPostExecute method. How can I access say, the first item in the first object (something like in PHP where you could do: expense[0]['cat_name']). I've tried to do this various ways with no success. Here is the PostResponse.java class:
public class PostResponse {
public Integer cat_id_PK;
public String cat_name;
public BigDecimal cat_amount;
public Integer is_recurring;
public int getID() {
return this.cat_id_PK;
}
public void setID(int cat_id_PK){
this.cat_id_PK = cat_id_PK;
}
public String getName() {
return this.cat_name;
}
public void setName(String cat_name) {
this.cat_name = cat_name;
}
public BigDecimal getAmount() {
return this.cat_amount;
}
public void setAmount(BigDecimal cat_amount) {
this.cat_amount = cat_amount;
}
public int getRecurring() {
return this.is_recurring;
}
public void setRecurring(int is_recurring) {
this.is_recurring = is_recurring;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("*** Categories ***");
sb.append("cat_id_PK="+getID()+"\n");
sb.append("cat_name="+getName()+"\n");
sb.append("cat_amount="+getAmount()+"\n");
sb.append("is_recurring="+getRecurring()+"\n");
return sb.toString();
}
}
and here is the content of my onPostExecute method:
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Gson gson = new Gson();
PostResponse response = gson.fromJson(result, PostResponse.class);
System.out.println(result);
}
Like I said originally, my ultimate goal is to populate these items to a list activity, but at this point I'd settle for just knowing how to get at specific elements. However, if anyone would like to include how to populate a list activity in their response, it would save me a lot more headaches, as nothing with java is coming easy for me!
FIRST QUESTION
The code below is what I'm using to read the response. Is this how I should be handling that? It seems weird to get a json encoded response and then change it to a string, only to try and access elements of a json object again. Am I on the wrong track here?
It's one way of handling the http response. A "json encoded response" is little more than a text-based response, so converting it into a string on the receiving end would make sense. That is, the json you receive isn't an 'object' as far as Java is concerned: it's just textual representation of an object (or a bunch of objects in your case), received as a stream of bytes.
That being said, you can potentially shorten your code by skipping the string(builder) part. Gson provides an alternative constructor that takes a Reader instance, for which you can suppy the BufferedReader in your code snippet.
As a side note: the conversion of textual json into Java objects is a potentially 'heavy' operation. As such, you'd best avoid doing it on the main/ui thread, so just move it into the doInBackground() method of your AsyncTask (and change types appropriately).
SECOND QUESTION
I have another file called "PostResponse.java" that holds the following code I modeled after a tutorial online. I'm unsure of how to interact with this class from the onPostExecute method. How can I access say, the first item in the first object (something like in PHP where you could do: expense[0]['cat_name']). I've tried to do this various ways with no success.
You're close, but if you look more closely to the json sample, you'll see that your PostResponse class is not a good match for it:
{
"expense": [
{
"cat_id_PK": 237,
"cat_name": "Name1",
"cat_amount": "100.00",
"is_recurring": 0
},
{
"cat_id_PK": 238,
"cat_name": "Name2",
"cat_amount": "200.00",
"is_recurring": 0
},
{
"cat_id_PK": 239,
"cat_name": "Name3",
"cat_amount": "300.00",
"is_recurring": 0
},
{
"cat_id_PK": 240,
"cat_name": "Name4",
"cat_amount": "400.00",
"is_recurring": 0
}
],
"expense_rec": [
{
"cat_id_PK": 207,
"cat_name": "Name5",
"cat_amount": "500.00",
"is_recurring": 1
}
]
}
Consider the more hierarchical formatting above. On the first level there are two (json) objects: expense and expense_rec (both contain 0...* elements, as the square brackets indicate). That means that whatever class you're going to be trying to map the json onto, should define these fields too. If you now look at your PostResponse class, it should become obvious that in its current form it in fact models one of the child objects of the aforementioned fields.
Basically, the classes to map the json onto, should look somewhat like this:
PostResponse:
public class PostResponse {
public ExpenseItem[] expense;
public ExpenseItem[] expense_rec;
// List<ExpenseItem> is also supported
// getters & setters
}
ExpenseItem:
public class ExpenseItem {
public Integer cat_id_PK;
public String cat_name;
public BigDecimal cat_amount;
public Integer is_recurring;
// getters & setters
}
With the model classes defined, try to let Gson work its magic again. If all goes well, you should be able to access the data in a way similar to what you're used to in PHP:
// map json to POJOs
PostResponse response = new Gson().fromJson(bufferedReader, PostResponse.class);
// retrieve the cat_name for the first item (assuming there is one)
String catName = response.getExpense()[0].getName();
... or any of the other fields through the getters defined in ExpenseItem.
Once you have this part working, it's going to be fairly straightforward to supply the array or list of expenses to an adapter (have a look at ArrayAdapter in the Android framenwork) and bind that adapter to a ListView.
The answer is yes, you will get the response in InputStream
For your second question check this out - jsonschema2pojo this can be helpful while creating models for your JSON data.
Then to use GSON
Gson gson = new Gson();
YourObj yourObj = (YourObj) gson.fromJson(result, YourObj.class);
The answer is yes.Response is received as InputSteam
protected void onPostExecute(String result)
{
super.onPostExecute(result);
Gson gson = new Gson();
PostResponse response = gson.fromJson(result, PostResponse.class);
System.out.println(result);
}
This code section mostly means that after an AsyncTask that get web Response and get the String format json response,this onPostExecute will be called with that Stringfied json.
Gson gson = new Gson();
Gson is a library supported by Google for android to deserialization into your class OBject.
gson.fromJson(result, PostResponse.class);
This method is the real process of deserialization. result is Stringfied json and the second is the Target class you want to deserialize into.
This will return a PostResponse Object and you can use it now.
For the json data (
{"expense":[{"cat_id_PK":237,"cat_name":"Name1","cat_amount":"100.00","is_recurring":0},
{"cat_id_PK":238,"cat_name":"Name2","cat_amount":"200.00","is_recurring":0},
{"cat_id_PK":239,"cat_name":"Name3","cat_amount":"300.00","is_recurring":0},
{"cat_id_PK":240,"cat_name":"Name4","cat_amount":"400.00","is_recurring":0}],
"expense_rec": [{"cat_id_PK":207,"cat_name":"Name5","cat_amount":"500.00","is_recurring":1}]}),
it contains two different arrays here, one is "expense" and another is "expense_rec". So if you want to populate these items to a list activity, you can try the follow methods.
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(builder.toString());
Log.i(TAG, "jsonObject is : " + jsonObject.toString());
//this is the first array data
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("expense");
Log.i(TAG, "Array length is: " + jsonArray.length());
for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++){
JSONObject jsoObj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
String name = jsoObj.getString("cat_name");
Log.i(TAG, "file name is: " + name);
}
//this is the second array data
jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("expense_rec");
for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++){
JSONObject jsoObj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
String name = jsoObj.getString("cat_name");
Log.i(TAG, "file name is: " + name);
}
}
I have a requirement to fetch the SenderName,SenderEmail,ToNames,ToEmails,CCNames,CcEmails from a lotus notes document instance.
Issue1
Looking into lotus.domino.Document API I found out the method getItems. When I write the elements to the system.out values for SenderEmail, ToEmails and CcEmails can be found.
However values for SenderName(a.k.a From), ToNames cannot be derived that easily.
The values seems to be using an common name format. For example check check my system.output below.
Principal = "CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive"
$MessageID = "<OF0FF3779B.36590F8A-ON80257D15.001DBC47-65257D15.001DC804#LocalDomain>"
INetFrom = "AmawScritz#fictive.com"
Recipients = "CN=Girl1/O=fictive#fictive"
MailOptions = "0"
SaveOptions = "1"
From = "CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive"
AltFrom = "CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive"
SendTo = "CN=Girl1/O=fictive#fictive"
CopyTo = "CN=Girl2/O=fictive#fictive"
BlindCopyTo = ""
InetSendTo = "Girl1#fictive.com"
InetCopyTo = "Girl2#fictive.com"
$Abstract = "sasdasda"
$UpdatedBy = "CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive"
Body = "Hello World"
The question is how can I get 'Amaw Scritz' from the common name 'CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive'. Is there any look up mechanism that can be used. (I would prefer to have a option other than doing a substring of the common name)
Issue2
is it possible to retrieve SentTime and ReceivedTime from mail document instance?
I know that there are two methods called getCreated and getLastModified. getCreated can be loosely associated with the SentTime and getLastModified can be loosely associated with ReceivedTime. Are there are other ways to get times for SentTime and ReceivedTime.
Issue3
How can one distinguish whether a mail document is a Sent mail or a Received Mail?
Issue1
You can use Name class.
Here example from this link:
import lotus.domino.*;
public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
public void NotesMain() {
try {
Session session = getSession();
AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
// (Your code goes here)
// Create a hierarchical name
Name nam = session.createName(
"CN=John B Goode/OU=Sales/OU=East/O=Acme/C=US");
// Returns:
// John B Goode
// John B Goode/Sales/East/Acme/US
// CN=John B Goode/OU=Sales/OU=East/O=Acme/C=US
System.out.println(nam.getCommon());
System.out.println(nam.getAbbreviated());
System.out.println(nam.getCanonical());
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Issue2
Use values of PostedDate field and DeliveredDate field of mail document.
Issue3
Check that $Inbox folder contains your mail document. Or take a look at Dave Delay answer.
I agree with #nempoBu4 on Issues 1 and 2. I disagree with the answer to Issue 3. A received message can be removed from the inbox, so checking $Inbox doesn't help you distinguish between sent and received messages.
Assuming you have the document open, the best approach is to check two items. Sent and received messages both have a PostedDate item, but only a received message has a DeliveredDate item. Incidentally, a draft message has neither PostedDate or DeliveredDate.
I tried to create a multiuserchat with Java. I'm using smack library.
Here is my code to create multiuserchat:
MultiUserChat muc = new MultiUserChat(connection, "roomname#somehost");
muc.create("mynickname");
Form form = muc.getConfigurationForm();
Form submitForm = form.createAnswerForm();
submitForm.setAnswer("muc#roomconfig_roomname", "A nice formatted Room Name");
submitForm.setAnswer("muc#roomconfig_roomdesc", "The description. It should be longer.");
muc.sendConfigurationForm(submitForm);
muc.addMessageListener(mucMessageListener); // mucMessageListener is a PacketListener
Then, I tried to capture the message sent by this room created above using mucMessageListener:
private PacketListener mucMessageListener = new PacketListener() {
public void processPacket(Packet packet) {
if (packet instanceof Message) {
Message message = (Message) packet;
// this is where I got the problem
}
}
}
As the message received by other part (the user who is not the owner of this multiuserchat), can he somehow get the value set in this line above:
submitForm.setAnswer("muc#roomconfig_roomname", "A nice formatted Room Name");
You see, getting just the JID of the room is not really good for the view. I expect I could have a String which value is "A nice formatted Room Name".
How can we get that?
You can easily get its configurations like name and etc from this code:
MultiUserChatManager mucManager = MultiUserChatManager.getInstanceFor(connection);
RoomInfo info = mucManager.getRoomInfo(room.getRoom());
now you can get its informations like this:
String mucName = info.getName();
Boolean isPersistence = info.isPersistent();
and etc.
Retrieving the value of muc#roomconfig_romname is described in XEP-45 6.4. Smack provides the MultiUserChat.getRoomInfo() method to perform the query.
RoomInfo roomInfo = MultiUserChat.getRoomInfo(connection, "roomname#somehost.com")
String roomDescription = roomInfo.getDescription()
If you want to read a value of var for example title name of room in config
Form form = chat.getConfigurationForm();
String value = form.getField("muc#roomconfig_roomname").getValues().next();
then do what ever you want with value..
