Closed 1 year ago.
I'm integrating admob ads in my application with java but getting this
cannot find symbol mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this); symbol:
variable mInterstitialAd location: class Ads
. Please check the util/Ads.java & AndroidManifest.xml file and help me to fix it. I'm not able to fix this.
util/Ads.java
package com.indiapps.documentscanner.util;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd;
public class Ads {
public static void showAds(Context context) {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
long currentTimeMillis = System.currentTimeMillis();
long lastTime = sharedPreferences.getLong("lastTime", 0);
mInterstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
mInterstitialAd.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712");
if (currentTimeMillis - lastTime > 60000) {
if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {
mInterstitialAd.show();
}
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putLong("lastTime", currentTimeMillis);
editor.apply();
Log.d("AAA","showAds");
}

You forgot to declare mIntersitialAd, you can do that right after the class opening braces.
public class Ads {
private InterstitialAd mInterstitialAd;
public static void showAds(Context context) {
//your code
}
}

mydb = new no.nordicsemi.android.nrftoolbox.myDbAdapter(getContext());
String s = ((ToolboxApplication) this.getApplication()).getSomeVariable();
Cursor rs = mydb.getData(1);
rs.moveToFirst();
String nam = rs.getString(rs.getColumnIndex(no.nordicsemi.android.nrftoolbox.myDbAdapter.CONTACTS_COLUMN_NAME));
String phon = rs.getString(rs.getColumnIndex(no.nordicsemi.android.nrftoolbox.myDbAdapter.CONTACTS_COLUMN_PHONE));
String emai = rs.getString(rs.getColumnIndex(no.nordicsemi.android.nrftoolbox.myDbAdapter.CONTACTS_COLUMN_EMAIL));

String dobb = rs.getString(rs.getColumnIndex(no.nordicsemi.android.nrftoolbox.myDbAdapter.CONTACTS_COLUMN_DOB));
if (!rs.isClosed()) {
rs.close();
}
final EditText field = mField = view.findViewById(R.id.field);
mField.setText(nam+" "+emai+" "+phon+" "+gend+" "+cit);
field.setOnEditorActionListener((v, actionId, event) -> {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND) {
onSendClicked();
return true;
}
return false;
});
final Button sendButton = mSendButton = view.findViewById(R.id.action_send);
sendButton.setOnClickListener(v -> onSendClicked());
return view;
}
What is the error ?? And why cannot it resolve getApplication()??

Change
String s = ((ToolboxApplication) this.getApplication()).getSomeVariable();
to
String s = ((ToolboxApplication) getActivity().getApplication()).getSomeVariable();

As you are trying yo use application context from fragment you can not use getApplication() because isn't method of Fragment class
So you first have to use the getActivity() which will return a Fragment Activity to which the fragment is currently associated with.
to sumup in your code,
instead of this.getApplication() you have to use getActivity.getApplication()

use this code to receive the push...
public class MyCustomReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String message = extras != null ? extras.getString("com.parse.Data")

gcmMessage.setType(0);
gcmMessage.setDateTime(time);
DatabaseUtil.insertMessage(context, gcmMessage);
}
}
catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
and here is the code to send push...
JSONObject obj;
try {
obj =new JSONObject();
obj.put("alert","oman expert ");
obj.put("action","Your Package name.UPDATE_STATUS");
data.put("from", ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername());
obj.put("msg","hi");

ParsePush push = new ParsePush();
ParseQuery query = ParseInstallation.getQuery();
push.setQuery(query);
push.setData(obj);
push.sendInBackground();
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
for any further query please let me know....

In the above code example, you have missed out few things,
Check your AndroidManifest.xml file, and add c2dm permissions,
permission android:name="your package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature"
uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"
uses-permission android:name="your package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
While sending the data, set the action in your data,
JSONObject data = new JSONObject();
try {
data.put("action", "your package.GOT_MESSAGE");
data.put("ya", ya);
data.put("from", ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername());
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
ParsePush parsePush = new ParsePush();
parsePush.setData(data);

Check the Google play services version number and there is a pretty defined method to check Google play services a availability

Latest release of gcm using google play is very easy to implement and can be used for longer time.
See this tutorial. Hope it might help.

Here is my searchable.xml:
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:hint="#string/SearchHint" >
</searchable>

Try adding the below in your <intent-filter>.
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

I think, your activity is not visible outside your Application.
Try android:exported="true".
