Problem on upgrading the code to suit the latest sdk

Postby totw » Fri Apr 10, 2009 1:08 pm

I was previously using sdk m3-rc20a. I thought it would take a lot of time, but surprisingly, there are only a few coding errors as follows :

1)
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using java Syntax Highlighting
  1. public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
  2.  
  3.                 HashMap<String, String> hm = (HashMap<String, String>) msg.getData();
  4.  
  5.  
  6.  
  7.                 String msgText = hm.get("message");
  8.

the error is, cannot cast from bundle to HashMap<String,String>

the error is, The method setData(Bundle) in the type Message is not applicable for the arguments (HashMap<String,String>)
I guess, these errors are related to the HashMap hm..

The following lines in the code above are showing errors :

and

super(context, attrs, inflateParams, defStyle);

is showing

The constructor SurfaceView(Context, AttributeSet, Map, int) is undefined


please suggest suitable modifications to make the code suitable to the latest sdk...thks.

Thank you for your reply.
I did whatever you suggested and now all the errors are gone.

However the application is not working as intended.

I use a button to trigger this class which is an activity.
some of the relevant code of that class is as below...

when i was using the older sdk, after triggering the class
i was getting the msg : "connecting to <servername and port>"
which would later connect to a server.

but now after changing the code
I directly get the message caused by IOException : "Socket timeout for <servername>"
and does not proceed at all.

I'm sure this is happening because of the modifications made to the code. But I'm unable to find a relevant substitute for functions corresponding to the newer sdk in order to exactly match what i had done in the previous sdk.

any suggestions on this would be appreciated. thanx a lot.

i would suggest to try a different port and/or check if the InetAddress in "ia" is reachable.


This works fine for me (SDK 1.1 r1)

thanx...

I tried that but didn't solve my problem. I debugged the code and found that after the execution of line :

sk = new java.net.Socket(ia, Port);

it gives the error :

com.sun.jdi.InvocationException occurred invoking method.

I checked all other variables etc. everything else is ok (i mean variables contain the desired values...)
i think its failing to instantiate the socket.

any suggestions??

I googled a bit .. but found nothing that would help.
I am quite sure that it isnt android related at all.

Here is the description of that error.. but its pretty meaningless
http://www.lumentier.com/java/ext/jdk-7-bld1/com.sun.jdi/InvocationException/class-javadoc.lmtr

Most of the google findings referring to a "toString()" method in conjunction with that error.
Hopefully i could point you in the right direction.. if not i think it requires more code to really help.

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

I think the problem is solved. I just added a permission in the manifest and the error is gone.

<uses-permission android:name = "android.permission.INTERNET"/>

I haven't tested the full functioning of the application yet but with the error gone atleast I can go a step further.

if problem persists, i will post more code.


Thanx a lot.

hi.

I would like you to take a look at the very first problem I had posted in this topic and the solutions you suggested.
The first two problems are totally gone, thanks to you. But there is something wrong about the solution of the third one.

Ofcourse all the syntactical errors are gone but its not functioning as it supposed to.

I mean after execution of that code it should display command prompt of the server prompting for username and password; but all i get is a blank screen.

The TerminalView class which extends SurfaceView the second and the third constructor or the TerminalView class call the super() method which is the constructor for the SuraceView class. I think that the surfaceview class in the newer sdk has different arguments for its constructor. So the map variable that I have taken fails to match the arguments of this constructor. I am unable to figure out what to do, but i think the map variable is essential.

The code is large in size so I'm not posting it here. Instead I have attached the files to this post. I would really appreciate if you took a look at them and tell me whats wrong.
Thank you.

Hmm "CharPanel" and "TerminalConstants" are missing.. without them nothing works
and replacing them with stubs could take forever :)

This is not the entire code.

The project consists of 10 classes. I have given you these two classes from the entire project because the error is from these two classes for sure.

The CharPanel and TerminalConstants classes are there in my project, I just didn't post them here because i'm sure that there is no error in the rest of the project.

I thought as much.. so i can just look instead of compile and try.
Based on your error description and the provided code it might have
something to do about the surfaceview itself. The surfaceview canvas
isnt instant ready.. it could take some ms until its ready to draw.
In THIS thread
i have some code that take care of the same issue. Look at the MjpegView and especially
the surface.callback methods and the thread start timing.
My guess is that the content you estimate is there but at that time the surfaceview isnt ready
and stays blank.

--- Edit ----
Okay.. another.. maybe stupid idea came up to my mind.
Check if the color you set before the drawText statement isnt black.
Maybe you just writing black on black :D

The same thing that u guessed is taking place.. when the application connects to the destination machine, the message "connecing to .." disappears and instead of showing the destination machine prompt, there is a black screen.. so maybe that part of the view is not getting displayed but it is there..

I'll check out the code u have posted..

thks a lot :)

Just to be sure that the error lies in displaying the contents and not anything else, I tested my application ...

I set up a telnet server running Fedora (Fedora shows a popup window when anyone connects to it through say telnet).

I ran my application on windows .. After I entered the IP address, the same thing happened.. the screen was black again..

Assuming that my application was functioning properly (except for the corresponding display) I typed in the username on my emulator (TELNET requires the server to have a username and password)..

After pressing enter, a popup appeared on my server confirming my doubt that everything else was working fine except the display..

I also did a blindfold entering of some commands (like creating a directory etc ).. these commands were executed successfully too..

So, now I have to figure out the problem in the display... I'm posting the xml file corresponding to the TerminalActivity class :

Well.. the layout file looks fine to me. I still think its a timing problem.
To test this implement the callbacks like i did in my mjpeg code.
Some debug outputs in "surfaceCreated" method and in your method where
you draw your stuff should show if there is a timing problem. If "surfaceCreated"
is called AFTER your draw method than the surface wasnt ready and therefore you
cant see anything.
I am not quite sure if those visibility changes also could be a problem. Maybe the surface
needs to be created anytime you set it back to be visible.

I will try to reduce the code you provided to a running minimum so i can play with it .. an
hopefully fix it :)

Okay.. i think i got it. I dont know exactly why but the draw and onDraw method in your TerminalView never gets invoked.. even after an invalidate or postInvalidate. But the fix for this is simple.
When you want to update your TerminalView just add "tv.onDraw(tv.getHolder().lockCanvas());" right before
"tv.invalidate();" .. if i properly understand your code this happens just on one location in your "MyHandler" message handler when "message.what" is 0.
In your TerminalView change "public void draw(Canvas canvas)" to "protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)"
and add "getHolder().unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);" as last line in this method.. just before the method returns
(yes after those for loops).

What we have done now is to call onDraw man-made and take care of the state of the corresponding canvas of
the SurfaceHolder.
I really want to know why this isnt called from android itself.. but for now this will work just fine.

Ps. You should fly over your thread code.. and stop it at the right time.
