KitKat Connection from URL get NullPointerException in AsyncTask

i'm new in java and android programming but i accepted a challenge launched by a friend and now i have to work hard.
I finally managed to have this type of activity working with AsyncTask but it seems to work well on all android but not on 4.4.2 KitKat.
The problem seems to be on url.openConnection and i tried many times to change the way in wich i do it but i haven't had positive results...
I have only to read file from an URL
This is my class code:
public class MenuActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_menu);
new HttpTask().execute();
}
public final class HttpTask
extends
AsyncTask<String/* Param */, Boolean /* Progress */, String /* Result */> {
private HttpClient mHc = new DefaultHttpClient();
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
publishProgress(true);
InputStream inputstream = null;
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL("http://somesite/prova.txt");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
assert url != null;
URLConnection connection = null;
try {
connection = url.openConnection();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
httpConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
httpConnection.connect();
if (httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
inputstream = httpConnection.getInputStream();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
ByteArrayOutputStream bytearryoutputstream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int i;
try {
i = inputstream.read();
while (i != -1) {
bytearryoutputstream.write(i);
i = inputstream.read();
}
inputstream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bytearryoutputstream.toString();
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Boolean... progress) {
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
StringBuilder nuovafrase=new StringBuilder("");
String[] frasone=result.split("\n");
ListView listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listViewDemo);
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter;
arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.rowmenu, R.id.textViewList, frasone);
listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
}
}
}
And this is the Logcat...

There is a Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException but i cannot understand why...
Thanks

It could be caused by the inputstream being null. inputstream will only be initialized if the response code is OK. So you need to check what response code is being returned. If it is not causing the error, I'd still add some code for if the response code is not OK. You don't want your app to crash if it can't connect. You should at least display a helpful error message
Example:
else{
showErrorMsg();
return null;
}

Catch FileNotFoundException when trying inputstream.read();
try {
i = inputstream.read();
while (i != -1) {
bytearryoutputstream.write(i);
i = inputstream.read();
}
inputstream.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("MyTag","Handling empty page...");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("MyTag",e.toString());
}

Transfer file using Sockets Server/Client

Hi there I have 2 classes in order to push a file into an android device.
My Server CLass:
public class FileServer {
public static void main (String [] args ) throws IOException {
// create socket
ServerSocket servsock = new ServerSocket(13267);
while (true) {
System.out.println("Waiting...");
Socket sock = servsock.accept();
System.out.println("Accepted connection : " + sock);
// sendfile
File myFile = new File ("C:\\Users\\Petrica\\Desktop\\zzz.txt");
byte [] mybytearray = new byte [(int)myFile.length()];
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(myFile);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
bis.read(mybytearray,0,mybytearray.length);
OutputStream os = sock.getOutputStream();
System.out.println("Sending...");
os.write(mybytearray,0,mybytearray.length);
os.flush();
sock.close();
}
}
}
And my Client Class:
public class TCPClient extends AsyncTask{
#Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object... params) {
int filesize=6022386; // filesize temporary hardcoded
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
int bytesRead;
int current = 0;
// localhost for testing
Socket sock = null;
try {
sock = new Socket("127.0.0.1",13267);
} catch (UnknownHostException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Connecting...");
// receive file
try {
byte [] mybytearray = new byte [filesize];
InputStream is = sock.getInputStream();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/zzz.txt");
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
bytesRead = is.read(mybytearray,0,mybytearray.length);
current = bytesRead;
// thanks to A. Cádiz for the bug fix
do {
bytesRead =
is.read(mybytearray, current, (mybytearray.length-current));
if(bytesRead >= 0) current += bytesRead;
} while(bytesRead > -1);
bos.write(mybytearray, 0 , current);
bos.flush();
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println(end-start);
bos.close();
sock.close();
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}

Does anyone have an idea what should I do ??? In the future i would like to send 2 files :D .Thanks in advice .

You're really expected to be able to sort out your own NullPointerExceptions: at least I expect it, but when you get past that, your copy code is wrong. You are presently ignoring the count returned by read() and assuming it fills the buffer. It isn't guaranteed to do that. See the Javadoc.
while ((count = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
{
out.write(buffer, 0, count);
}
Use this at both ends, with any buffer size > 0, typically 8192.

I don't think your Socket is connecting, but its hard to tell. IN your log output, it says NullPointerException caused by doInBackground() line 33. You should check line 33 in your editor, and better yet, show us in your post which line is 33. I kind of have a feeling that you call Socket sock = null;, then you try and instantiate a new Socket in a try block, but that fails, so sock still == null, then you call a method on sock, and boom, NPE.
If you are running the Server on a computer, and the AsyncTask on an Android device, you won't be able to try and connect to localhost (127.0.0.1). You should instead try to connect to the internal network ip of your computer (something like 192.168.1.XXX), assuming both devices are on WiFi. If you are running an android emulator, then 127.0.0.1 refers back to the emulated device, and all emulator sessions run on an emulated router that you will have to configure for port forwarding before you can refer to the development machine, see here-->http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#emulatornetworking
As Andras Balazs Lajtha says, it looks like TCPClient isn't ever initialized/created during onCreate(), it is only declared. Since your logcat output shows errors from TCPClient though, I assume you have that code actually running.
In general, when you post a log output that refers to problems with a specific line of code, you should start there, and when you post, tell us or show us which line that is. And of course, if line 33 isn't related to a null Socket object, then I haven't been much help at all :)

This simply means that the emulator you are using does not have GPU emulation enabled. In Android SDK Tools R15 you can enable GPU emulation.You need to create a new emulator virtual device and set GPU emulation to true in Hardware properties.

How to make a UDP connection in android

I'm trying to make a connection between my galaxy tab and my laptop. So I'm trying to run server activity on my laptop and client activity on my tab, but it doesn't work. Here is the server and client code. Where is the mistake?
SERVER:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView txt = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
int port = 12345;
byte [] message = new byte [1500];
DatagramPacket p = new DatagramPacket (message,message.length);
try {
InetAddress serveraddr = InetAddress.getByName("192.168.1.116");
DatagramSocket s = new DatagramSocket (port,serveraddr);
while (true){
s.receive(p);
String text = new String (message,0,p.getLength());
txt.setText(text);
}
} catch (SocketException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
CLIENT:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final EditText edt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
Button btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
String msg = edt.getText().toString();
int port = 12345;
try {
DatagramSocket s = new DatagramSocket();
InetAddress local = InetAddress.getByName("192.168.1.116");
int msg_lenght = msg.length();
byte []message = msg.getBytes();
DatagramPacket p = new DatagramPacket(message,msg_lenght,local,port);
s.send(p);
} catch (SocketException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}

You shouldn't do network or time intensiv operations in ui thread
See also:
Android: NoClassDefFoundError for some app users or
android developers information
Checkout:
activity.runOnUi

You have an infinite loop in onCreate of the Server. You shouldn't! Create a thread for polling the socket.

you cannot send udp packets on ui thread, so a new seperate thread must be created.
Just a quick solution...
create a udpOutputData string:
String udpOutputData;
create a new thread in your code:
//-----UDP send thread
Thread udpSendThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
}
catch (InterruptedException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
if (sendUdp == true) {
try {
// get server name
InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(outputIP);
Log.d("UDP", "C: Connecting...");
// create new UDP socket
DatagramSocket socket = new DatagramSocket();
// prepare data to be sent
byte[] buf = udpOutputData.getBytes();
// create a UDP packet with data and its destination ip & port

// send the UDP packet

});
create a method to call everytime you want to send some udp data:
public void sendUdp(String udpMsg) {
udpOutputData = udpMsg;
sendUdp = true;
}
call the method and pass a string for the output data everytime you want to send a udp packet:
String s = "hello from app";
sendUdp(s);

connecting clients to server with emulator on different computers

I am writing an application that communicates using sockets. I have a server running on one android emulator on a computer, then i have 2 other clients running on android emulators on 2 other computers. I am trying to get the 2 clients to connect to the server.
This works when i run the server and clients on the same computer, but when i attempt to do this on the same wifi network and on separate computers it gives me the following error. The client and server code is posted below. A lot is stripped out just to show the important stuff. Also, after the server starts i telnet into the server and run these commands redir add tcp:5000:6000 (i have also tried without doing the redir but it still says the same thing). Then i start the clients and get the error. Thanks for the help!
Both the 5000 port and 6000 port are open on my router. And i have windows firewall disabled on the computer hosting the server.

I figured it out. I needed to create a proxy. I used this SO post as a reference. And heavily modified this code to work for multiple connections. It is working now. HOORAY!
