my application crashes when i start new thread [duplicate] - java

This question already has an answer here:
Application crashes while starting the new thread
(1 answer)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have a class where I have implemented runnable and I start the thread in one of the function of this class, and I call this function from the main activity,I create the object of this class and call the method of thread class.My main activity code from where I call this class method is:
broadcast broadcastobject.threadfunc(messages);
My class where I create threads is:
public class broadcast {
private DatagramSocket socket;
String str;
private static final int TIMEOUT_MS = 10;
WifiManager mWifi;
EditText et;
DatagramPacket packet;
Button bt;
private static final int SERVERPORT = 11111;
private static final String SERVER_IP = "192.168.1.255";
public void threadfunc(String message){
str=message;
new Thread(new ClientThread()).start();
}
/*
private InetAddress getBroadcastAddress() throws IOException {
DhcpInfo dhcp = mWifi.getDhcpInfo();
if (dhcp == null) {
//Log.d(TAG, "Could not get dhcp info");
return null;
}
int broadcast = (dhcp.ipAddress & dhcp.netmask) | ~dhcp.netmask;
byte[] quads = new byte[4];
for (int k = 0; k < 4; k++)
quads[k] = (byte) ((broadcast >> k * 8) & 0xFF);
return InetAddress.getByAddress(quads);
}
*/
class ClientThread implements Runnable {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
socket = new DatagramSocket(SERVERPORT);
socket.setBroadcast(true);
// socket.setSoTimeout(TIMEOUT_MS);
} catch (SocketException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
InetAddress serverAddr = null;
try {
serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(SERVER_IP);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
packet = new DatagramPacket(str.getBytes(), str.length(),serverAddr,SERVERPORT);
try {
socket.send(packet);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
My log cat is:

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.

App force closes when I try to implement an EditText search in a Listview

I am new to android. I have created an app which was a pull parser in order to extract items from an Rss feed, into a ListView. Unfortunately my app seems to force close when I try and place code in order implement some sort of filtering mechanism in my ListView. This is the code I have so far, and I have no idea why it seems to crash. Any help would be appreciated.
public class RssFeed extends ListActivity {

description = new ArrayList();
try {
URL url = new URL("http://my.url");
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();
xpp.setInput(getInputStream(url), "UTF_8");
boolean insideItem = false;
/** While the rss feed has not displayed end_document, pull the title and description information */
int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
if (eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
if (xpp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("item")) {
insideItem = true;
} else if (xpp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("title")) {
if (insideItem)
titles.add(xpp.nextText());
} else if (xpp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("description")) {
if (insideItem)
description.add(xpp.nextText());
}
}else if(eventType==XmlPullParser.END_TAG && xpp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("item")){
insideItem=false;
}
eventType = xpp.next();
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, titles);
setListAdapter(adapter);
/**

SearchBox.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override

First of all: the class you posted doesn't have 142 lines, be sure to post the whole class.
Second: SearchBox is null here.
That is because you declared it with
EditText SearchBox;
but never assigned it which you would usually do from your layout like
SearchBox = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.searchBox);
(just an example)
SeachBox does not have an assigned value at this point so you can't use any methods on it.
Third: Use lower case names like searchBox, it'll make your code easier to read for others and yourself.

Debugging AsyncTask - strange behaviour, debug jumping into the code

I'm debugging an Asynctask that simply downloads a file: here the code:
public class AsyncDownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Boolean> {
public AsyncResponse<Boolean> delegate=null;
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
try {
URL url = new URL(params[0]);
int count;
String fileName = new String(params[1]);
URLConnection connessione = url.openConnection();
connessione.connect();
int lenghtOfFile = connessione.getContentLength();
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
long total = 0;
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
publishProgress((int)((total*100)/lenghtOfFile));
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
output.flush();
output.close();
input.close();
return Boolean.valueOf(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}
}
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
delegate.processFinish(result);
}
}
I obtain a strange behaviour: when execution arrive to return
Boolean.valueOf(true);
it skips to
return null;
into the catch block, but Exception e is null, and then debugger goto line 1 of AsyncTask, that is simply
package com.example.compa.asynctasks;
Then execution goes on (executing onPostExecute method) and, of course, returned result is null
What happens? Why debug jump in this way?
Task download correctly the file.
Here code of the Activity that instantiates and calls Async Task
package com.example.compa.activities;
import android.app.Activity;
import ...
public class CoverActivity extends Activity implements AsyncResponse<Boolean>{
ImageView coverImg;
Drawable d;
CompassesFileManager cfm;
int coverId;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_cover);
coverId = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("coverId");
cfm = new CompassesFileManager(this);
ImageView coverImg = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.cover_image);
d = cfm.getCover(coverId);
if (d!=null){
coverImg.setImageDrawable(d);
} else {
AsyncDownloadFilesTask task = new AsyncDownloadFilesTask();
task.delegate = this;
task.execute(cfm.getCoverURL(coverId), cfm.getCoverFileName(coverId));
}
}
#Override
public void processFinish(Boolean output) {
if (output){
Drawable d = cfm.getCover(coverId);
coverImg.setImageDrawable(d);
} else {
finish();
}
}
}

is the last one of AsyncDownloadFilesTask class, and is a closing bracket, }
Thank you
I don't have enough points to comment, but it looks like delegate is null in your onPostExecute
delegate.processFinish(result); // delegate is null
if that's not the case, you're code stub above doesn't define it though.
I solved on my own.
1st, I move call to the Async Task in the onStart() method, instead of onCreate()
2nd, I made a mistake, in change line
ImageView coverImg = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.cover_image);
in
coverImg = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.cover_image);
to avoid a stupid null pointer (I already declared coverImg)!
Anyway, I still don't understand debug's behaviour, but I solved my problem.
Thank you everybody

Camera Application by Callling another class

I am working on a Flashlight project. I wanna do this by using another class.
Here is my mainactivity.java file:
package com.efsunderin.callcamera;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button bFlash;
Button cFlash;
MyCamera bnmcamera;
Camera camera;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
bFlash = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnFlash);
cFlash = (Button)findViewById(R.id.closeFlash);
bFlash.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bnmcamera.getCamera();
bnmcamera.turnOnFlash();
}
});
cFlash.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bnmcamera.turnOffFlash();
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
// on stop release the camera
if (camera != null) {
camera.release();
camera = null;
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
In this activity I am calling the class below:
package com.efsunderin.callcamera;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.hardware.Camera.Parameters;
public class MyCamera {
Camera camera;
Parameters params;
public void getCamera() {
camera.open();
params = camera.getParameters();
camera.startPreview();
}
public void turnOnFlash() {
params = camera.getParameters();
params.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH);
camera.setParameters(params);
camera.startPreview();
}
public void turnOffFlash() {
params = camera.getParameters();
params.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF);
camera.setParameters(params);
camera.startPreview();
}
}
But it's not working, the system shutdown the app when I touch the button to turn on flash. What am I doing wrong? Please help. thanks.

I initialized required objects, but it still gives NullPointerException, why does it give this error? I don't understand. Please take a look at error log output.
You have not initialized your variables bnmCamera and camera.
MyCamera bnmcamera;
Camera camera;
initialize those variables and then use it.
if you use variables without initializing it will give you NullPointerException.
I think you want to do this:(You have not used camera object anywhere)
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
bFlash = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnFlash);
cFlash = (Button)findViewById(R.id.closeFlash);
//initialize bnmcamera
bnmcamera = new MyCamera();
bFlash.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bnmcamera.getCamera();
bnmcamera.turnOnFlash();
}
});
cFlash.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bnmcamera.turnOffFlash();
}
});
}
Camera class:
You dont have start camera preview every time. and if you want do do that you have stop preview if it is already started release the camera and then start again.
check this link Camera Preview Demo
EDIT:
try this:
public void getCamera() {
camera = camera.open();
params = camera.getParameters();
camera.startPreview();
}
public void turnOnFlash() {
if(camera != null){
params = camera.getParameters();
params.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH);
camera.setParameters(params);
camera.startPreview();
}else{
Log.e("CHECK","Camera null");
}
}
do this check in all functions.
You forgot to create object first before calling the method.
here you go:
private MyCamera=null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
**MyCamera bnmcamera=new MyCamera();**
bFlash = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnFlash);
cFlash = (Button)findViewById(R.id.closeFlash);
bFlash.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bnmcamera.getCamera();
bnmcamera.turnOnFlash();
}
});

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
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length, serverAddr, broadcastPort);
Log.d("UDP", "C: Sending: '" + new String(buf) + "'");
// send the UDP packet
socket.send(packet);
socket.close();
Log.d("UDP", "C: Sent.");
Log.d("UDP", "C: Done.");
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("UDP", "C: Error", e);
}
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
sendUdp = false;
}
}
}
});
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);
Have 2 problems with your code
Work with Network on Main thread (UI Thread)

Thanks in advance.
Thank You David and Jitendra.
I corrected the error and I get a nullPointerException in one part of the code.What did I do wrong?
public void onClick(View v)
{
try // The error is in this block
{
EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
String str = et.getText().toString();
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())),true);
out.println(str);
Log.d("Client", "Client sent message");
}
catch (UnknownHostException e)
{
tv.setText("Error1");
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
tv.setText("Error2");
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception f) // I get the error here. java.lang.NullPointerException
{
tv.setText("Error3");
tv.setText(f.toString());
f.printStackTrace();
}
}
Your error is on this line:
tv.setText((CharSequence) serverAddr);
serverAddr is of type InetAddress, and you're trying to cast it to a CharSequence which cannot be done. Perhaps you meant:
tv.setText(serverIpAddress);
Exception is in following line:
tv.setText((CharSequence) serverAddr);
and it is because you are trying to cast serverAddr into CharSequence.
If you really want to print serverAddr use
tv.setText((CharSequence) serverAddr.toString());
