We Keep Coding

Exception: Unmarshalling unknown type code occurred at run time

I am working on Android app and we are working as a team. I am facing a serious issue. And that is when ever I try to get the data from intent it gives me following exception
Parcel android.os.Parcel#355932a: Unmarshalling unknown type code
4784211 at offset 712
I know on SO there are a lot of helping material related to this issue, but my case is different and quiet mind boggling .....
Here is a quick code to see how I am getting my object
try {
if (data.hasExtra("KEY_MY_MODEL")) {
MyCustomModel newSelectedModel = data.getParcelableExtra("KEY_MY_MODEL");
//DO SOME THING WITH OBJECT
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Case1:
I am getting exception on first line if (data.hasExtra("KEY_MY_MODEL")) {
and this is quiet funny because when I inspect the intent object (data) while debugging and if I look into intent object using debugging I can see all my custom object.
The keys of getting object are same, if in any case the key is wrong I think the code inside the if condition must not get run. as it will return false.
But instead of returning false it is giving the above mentioned exception.
Case2: As I told you we are working in team, the same set of code is running perfectly on other system, but when I run app from my system and install app on device, it is giving the exception I mentioned above.
This is very much frustrating. I think there is something wrong with proguard, as I read on S.O but its still not helpful. Any Idea why this is happening? This looks like a big bug.
Note: I am using A.S 3.5 and on other system A.S 3.5 is in use, even we have same set of sdk, configurations and other things are quiet
identical on both sides...

It seems to be a ProGuard issue
Just add this line in proguard.rules.pro/txt
-keepclassmembers class * implements android.os.Parcelable {
static ** CREATOR;
}

Play Framework and java problems

I've started the tutorial "Play for java. I've downloaded activator, unzip it and create a new java-project.
Loaded it with IntellliJ IDEA 14.1.3, set java 8 to the project SDK and language level, then run the application. Everything works fine exept a few strange moments.
Start page with documentation and "Play for Java" tutorial describe the index method as:
public static Result index() {
return ok( index.render("Your new application is ready."));
}
Fine, but template contains not static method. If I define it as static, than I'll get such error:
"Compilation error" -> value index is not a member of controllers.Application
And the error line is in routes file:
GET / controllers.Application.index()
So, what is wrong? According to tutorial and documentation it should works with static methods...
I'm also getting annoying error in my IDE: "Cannot resolve method ok(java.lang.Object)" for the method above.
If I'm leaving index method non-static, than my IDE highlight method index() in the routes config file with mart "Cannot resolve: under constraction". This error dissapear for static method, but in this case the project won't compile successfully.
Can someone give an explanation?

Libgdx Android - GL Thread (NullPointerException) & Missing Class File

i'm using the LibGdx framework to create a game and I'm using Eclipse 4.4 (Luna). Whilst i'm debugging my application this method is breaking.
#Override
public void run() {
setName("GLThread " + getId());
if (LOG_THREADS) {
Log.i("GLThread", "starting tid=" + getId());
}
try {
guardedRun();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// fall thru and exit normally
} finally {
sGLThreadManager.threadExiting(this);
}
}
inside the GLSurfaceView Android class, with the stack trace:
Thread [GLThread 232] (Suspended (exception NullPointerException))
GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run() line: 1243
I know what a NullPointerException is, I know somewhere is passing a null value, but what I would like to know is how can I find out where?
With these types of questions, I can only assume you'll need more code but I don't know where I should be looking, I'll post code from the Java classes on request if anyone has an idea of where I should be looking.
Note: I'm not using GLSurfaceView directly anywhere in my code, I'm assuming it's a library from Libgdx. Unless it's something i'm missing?
UPDATE: Found the issue in detail.
GLSurfaceView$GLThread.class [in android.opengl [in C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-8\android.jar]] does not exist

Solution:
An AtlasRegion was being called from the renderer class without being assigned a value in the assets class hence the null Exception
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?
changing that to a field that is declared solved this problem for me on the code side.
For the solution to the backend issue:
GLSurfaceView$GLThread.class [in android.opengl [in C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-8\android.jar]] does not exist
I downloaded source codes from Google, and assigned the source code inside the SDK folder, C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\sources\, if you don't already have a source folder create one, put the sources in there and it should reload the class that was being handled. (in this case GLSurfaceView.class for API 2.2)
Another way In Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) or any other eclipse I do believe, go onto your project folder right click > properties > java build path and assign the source file for android.jar in your dependent libraries.

Exception while Skeleton Tracking using openNI on pre-recorded ONI file

I am trying to run the sample openNI Skeleton Tracking application (UserTracker.java application) on a pre-recorded .oni file. I have edited the SamplesConfig.xml file to direct the input from the ONI file and not a Kinect (I don't actually have one). However, I get the following Exception. Can anybody help me here?
org.OpenNI.StatusException: Function was not implemented!
at org.OpenNI.WrapperUtils.throwOnError(WrapperUtils.java:30)
at org.OpenNI.Context.initFromXmlEx(Context.java:371)
at org.OpenNI.Context.createFromXmlFile(Context.java:36)
at UserTracker.<init>(UserTracker.java:149)
at UserTrackerApplication.main(UserTrackerApplication.java:67)
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I found a solution here, this has removed the earlier exception that I was getting, but now I get the following!
org.OpenNI.StatusException: This operation is invalid!
Anybody knows why this is happening?

I had a similar problem, I wanted to read data from a .oni file that I generated and I was getting the same issue. Now the problem is solved and maybe you solved it too, but I think it's important to share information to others that might come to this post. I found some clues in others posts by the way.
So here is the solution. The NiUserTracker sample can be used with an .oni file so I checked the code and they do the following:
xn::Player g_Player; //Global variable
// This goes in the main or another function
if (argc > 1)
{
nRetVal = g_Context.Init();
CHECK_RC(nRetVal, "Init");
nRetVal = g_Context.OpenFileRecording(argv[1], g_Player);
if (nRetVal != XN_STATUS_OK)
{
printf("Can't open recording %s: %s\n", argv[1], xnGetStatusString(nRetVal));
return 1;
}
}
This is C++ code, I work with c++. So as you can see they don't init the kinect via XML file if they want to open a recorded .oni file, they just init it via Init() method and then open a file with openFileRecording method.
If you want to open a .oni file there's no need to modify your XML, this way you can do an application that allows you to chose if you want to use a .oni or the kinect.
I hope this helps someone.
cheers.

Problem with ImageTools plugin in Grails

i have a grails project with an Image Domain Class and Controller.
I just installed the grails ImageTools 1.0.4 Plugin and i would like to generate thumbnails for images wich will be uploaded.
My Image-Domain-Class:
class Image {
byte[] data
//String name
byte[] thumbnail
static constraints = {
//name()
data()
}
}
The "safe"-action in my Controller:
def save = {
def imageInstance = new Image(params)
def imageTool = new ImageTool()
imageTool.load(imageInstance.data)
imageTool.thumbnail(320)
imageInstance.thumbnail = imageTool.getBytes("JPEG") //Here is my problem!
if(!imageInstance.hasErrors() && imageInstance.save()) {
flash.message = "Image ${imageInstance.id} created"
redirect(action:show,id:imageInstance.id)
}
else {
render(view:'create',model:[imageInstance:imageInstance])
}
}
When I start my Grails-application and uploading an image I'm getting the following error-message:
Error 200: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: ImageTool.getBytes() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: {"JPEG"}
Servlet: grails
URI: /grailsproject/grails/image/save.dispatch
Exception Message: No signature of method: ImageTool.getBytes() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: {"JPEG"}
Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: ImageTool.getBytes() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: {"JPEG"}
Class: GrailsAuthenticationProcessingFilter
At Line: [57]
It says that the Method getBytes() is missing but the method is still available. My IDE intelliJ also recognizes no errors.
So what can I do? Could someone help me please?
Sorry for my bad english. If you are german, please look at http://support-network.info/board/problem-mit-imagetools-getbytes-t3008.html .

I use Grails 1.0.4.
I could fix this error message. I just copied the getBytes() method from the git Repository of Ricardo (the plugin developer) and replaced the old one with the new one. Now everything works! I don't know where the bug was but i'm happy that i solved it.
Thank you both very much!

Looks like that method is a fairly new addition to the class (3/6/2009). If you have verified that that method is in the ./plugins/imagetools/src/groovy/ImageTool.groovy file I'd recommend running:
grails clean
If you had been using this plugin prior it might be a cache problem.

The reply that you received from John sounds about right - if you have installed the new plugin and can see the code, but keep getting this error only outside IntelliJ, you should try cleaning your grails cache - it's very possible that an older copy of the plugin is precompiled on the cache.
Are you using Grails 1.1? I haven't yet tested it with the latest grails, but I understand it keeps the plugins not under the project but in a separate directory. Do let me know and I'll try it out.

I don't know what the plugin is really giving you over using JAI directly, IMHO it isn't doing much.
I use ImageMagick out of process for my image conversion and the results are superior to what can be done with JAI from what I have seen. Of course if your doing as much traffic as Amazon running out of process is not an option, however if you need to get to revenue as quickly as possible then you might want to consider what I've done.
I use apache-commons-exec to have a nice interface around handling opening an external process and reading data from std in and out. The only thing I'm using JAI for is to read the sizes of images.
