SoundCloud Fatal Exception

I have this source code for an mp3 download app, and it worked fine last time I used it, few months ago. Now when I try it, it gives me an error, when I click on a song to download it, from search results. Here's the error:

Anyone has any idea what's going on here?

It sounds like permission issues for your temp directory for your app. Your app can only put files into it's own app directory and for some reason permission is getting denied. That's why it's essentially failing ultimately in the isStreamable() being null.
Also have you tried adding permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE></uses-permission>
Also onPostExecute() you should do a check to see if track!=null, then catch the error and log it.

i am facing error "unable to find activitycomponentinfo, java.lang.runtimeexception"
plzz helpppp !!

Your Util class doesn't need to extend Activity(when Activity is extended a new window will appear when you start it with Intent). So you need to do it like this(Right click on java folder--->New Java class(If you are using Android Studio, and don't extend Activity):
public class Util{
private AudioManager audi = null;
//Method for activate vibration
private void activateVibration() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
audi = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
audi.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE);
}
}
And call the method like that in your activity:
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.item1:
//Object initialization
Util myUtil = new Util();
//Call activateVibration() method
myUtil.activateVibration();
return true;
case R.id.item2:
startActivity(new Intent(Profile.this,Custom.class));
return true;
default:
return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
}
I think you need to learn more about Java and OOP concepts in order to start developing Android apps.
Hope it helps!

Android App crashes right on start

I have an app that's supposed to get some string from a server depending on the webpage, and it crashes every time I run it. I don't understand how to even debug it, and I've tried numerous changes. It started crashing ever since I messed with the GUI, and added the ability to switch views if that provides any sort of help.
Here is the code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements TextToSpeech.OnInitListener, OnClickListener{
private WebView mWebview;
EditText addressBar;
String currentWebpage = "http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2013/07/20137113200544375.html";
LinearLayout viewGroup = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearview);
View main = (View) findViewById(R.layout.activity_main);
View readOut = (View) findViewById(R.layout.read_out);
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
System.out.println("Showing Activity_Main...");
viewGroup.addView(View.inflate(this, R.layout.activity_main, null));
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.menu.main);
addressBar = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.addressBar);
addressBar.setText(currentWebpage);
mWebview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enables javascript
mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
System.out.println("Loading Webpage...");
mWebview.loadUrl(currentWebpage);
}
public void speakOut(String text) {
TextToSpeech tts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
System.out.println("Speaking");
if(tts.isLanguageAvailable(Locale.ENGLISH) != -1){
tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
}
public int speakFull(String text){
switchToRead();
String[] sentences = text.split("\n|\\.(?!\\d)|(?<!\\d)\\."); // Regex that splits the body of text into the sentences of that body which are stored in a String array.
for(int i = 0; i < sentences.length; i++){
speakOut(sentences[i]);
if(i == sentences.length - 1){
return 1;
}
}
return 0;
}

Move your view initialization inside onCreate after setContentView
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mylayout);
LinearLayout viewGroup = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearview);
...// rest of the code

If the current browser url contains a word, do something

If my Webview (mainWebView) current URL contains a word like "/start", I want let it do something. Currently throwing out errors, some ideas?
public class GatewayActivity extends Activity {
private String CurUrl;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_gateway);
WebView mainWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.WebView1);
// other Webview Data
mainWebView.loadUrl("https://url.com/start");
CurUrl = mainWebView.getOriginalUrl();
if(CurUrl.indexOf("/start") > -1) {
Toast error=Toast.makeText(this, "test", 2000);
error.show();
}
else {
Toast error=Toast.makeText(this, "test failed", 2000);
error.show();
}
}
Edit:
Thanks for help, but still getting error like that one:

But only with included my If-query like above.
Still not work.
Same error, changed to:
mainWebView.loadUrl("https://url.com");
String cururl = null;
cururl = mainWebView.getOriginalUrl();
if(cururl.contains("/start")) {
//Toast error=Toast.makeText(this, "test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
//error.show();
}
else {
//Toast error2=Toast.makeText(this, "nope", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
//error2.show();
}

One mistake I see in your code is in the syntax of Toast.makeTest(this, "test", 2000)
You have specified the duration to 2000 which is wrong. The only values supported by Toast duration are Toast.LENGTH_SHORT and Toast.LENGTH_LONG, whose values in integer are 0 and 1.
Read more about it here

What if You try to parse "/start" in onPageFinished (or even onPageStarted)
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
if(url.contains("/start")) {
Toast.makeText(GatewayActivity.this, "test", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else {
Toast.makeText(GatewayActivity.this, "test", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
if You'll get the same error, so your problem in other stuff.

CursorLoader throws NullPointerException if argument 'selection' is null

I'm trying to use the loader concept in Android for the first time.
Here is my testing code:
package at.powersoftware.hello.loader;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager;
import android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader;
import android.support.v4.content.Loader;
import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class HelloLoaderActivity extends FragmentActivity implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {
static final int LOADER_CONTACTS = 1; // ID of the loader
ListView list;
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.loaderactivity);
list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(LOADER_CONTACTS, null, this);
String[] from = {Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, Contacts.TIMES_CONTACTED};
int[] to = {R.id.tvDisplayName, R.id.tvTimesContacted};
adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.contactlist3, null, from, to, 0);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.loaderactivity, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
String[] projection = {Contacts._ID, Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, Contacts.TIMES_CONTACTED};
String selection = null; //"1=1" or even "" works;
String[] selectionArgs = null;
String sortOrder = Contacts.TIMES_CONTACTED + " desc, " + Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME;
CursorLoader cl = new CursorLoader(this, Contacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
return cl;
}
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor cursor) {
adapter.swapCursor(cursor);
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> arg0) {
adapter.swapCursor(null);
}
}
I want to select all records of the content provider, therefore I specify null for the 'selection' argument. But this gives me the error below.
If I supply a selection criteria like "1=1" or even "" it works perfectly.
Any ideas what the problem could be? - Thanks in advance!

#Jens: you're so right. In my code I had the line:
Log.i("HLA", cl.getSelection());
(i cutted out all my Log stmts for better readability)
Of course, if selection is null, cl.getSelection() also returns null.
I searched everywhere but not there ...
So many thanks to you all!
#StenaviN: We saw that posting the whole code seems to be a good idea!
