[android-developers] Can WAKE_LOCK be acquired in a Service?
I have included a uses-permission to WAKE_LOCK statement in the
Android manifest file.
if(checkCallingOrSelfPermission(permission.WAKE_LOCK) ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
Log.i("tag", "WAKE_LOCK permission granted");
}
else
{
Log.i("tag", "WAKE_LOCK permission denied");
}
The above code gives permission granted when run from the Activity,
however, when run inside a Service, it gives permission denied.
Is there any way to acquire a WAKE_LOCK inside a Service? Am I doing
something wrong?
Thanks so much.
Paul

[android-developers] spurious WAKE_LOCK SecurityException?

[android-developers] Re: problem answering a call
I've reverted back to my telnet technique which does work in answering
a call. The command is: "gsm accept thePhoneNumber".

[android-developers] ACTION_ANSWER never answers the call - phone state stays RINGING..
code:
try
{
// answer the phone
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ANSWER);
myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP //
| Intent.FLAG_DEBUG_LOG_RESOLUTION //
| Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND //
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK).addCategory
(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
context.startActivity(myIntent);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
cleanup();
return;
}
// May need this intent-filter stanza as well
//
//
//
//
This is called from an ordinary ("raw") thread. I simulate an
incoming call with:
> telnet localhost 5554
> gsm call 1234567
Phone rings and rings but Answer Activity never picks up - phone state
never goes to OFF_HOOK.

[android-developers] Re: problem answering a call
I tried to add the incoming number, just like it works for outgoing
calls. The result is that it crashes as before. Can't find a
matching Activity for this Intent, basically.
// Intent doesn't match anything - crashes
Uri parsedPhoneNumber = Uri.parse("tel:" + incomingNumber);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ANSWER,
parsedPhoneNumber);
myIntent.setFlags( //
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | //
Intent.FLAG_DEBUG_LOG_RESOLUTION | //
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | //
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | // will crash
without this
Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND //
).addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);

[android-developers] Re: problem answering a call
Of course, now, ACTION_ANSWER Activity doesn't do anything. It
doesn't pick up the phone. The phone state is still RINGING - sigh...
Any thoughts are appreciated.

[android-developers] Re: new activity from PhoneStateListener callback method
You should be able to define your own constructor or setter that takes
the context as a parameter, no? Does that not work?
MyPhoneStateListener(Context ctx)
{
this.ctx = ctx;
}
or something -

[android-developers] Re: invoking com.android.internal.*
Yes, I know about this URL and have downloaded much of the source code. The delicate problem is how to build in access to the internal classes that I need and have them be invoked correctly by Android. Question is, how to do this without in effect rolling your own version of Android i.e., doing a full build ... after all, (this probably includes Linux), there are 8 million lines of code in Android. This would likely turn into a project unto itself. I have an old android.jar from version 0.9 with the internal classes available. When I try to use that, the Eclipse aapt environment immediately figures out what I'm trying to do, fails my attempt, and gives me a snarky message saying that I'm going to have problems trying to do this. Monsieur Queru - any comment?

Does anyone know of a way to use classes in com.android.internal.* - e.g., com.android.internal.telephony.Call ? There is sample code in the Android source code distribution. My normal Eclipse-based Android development environment does not allow e.g., import com.android.internal.telephony.Call; Is there a special jar or something that can be downloaded? Thanks much.

[android-developers] ActivityInstrumentationTestCase issue - can't send key
The goal of this little test program is to launch initiate a call and
then generate a press to the ENDCALL button.
1. It appears that I am incapable of unlocking the keyguard:
11-21 14:40:58.445: INFO/InstTest(209): after
inKeyguardRestrictedInputMode() ? true
2. Then, Android tells me I don't have permission to send a key
event:
11-21 14:41:00.173: WARN/WindowManager(53): Permission denied:
injecting key event from pid 209 uid 10019 to window Window{43506808
com.android.phone/com.android.phone.InCallScreen} owned by uid 1001
EmptyActivity is just as it sounds - no additional code other than
what Eclipse generates.
If anyone can see something that is not being done correctly, I would
very much appreciate their thoughts -
Thanks -
Paul

[android-developers] correct usage of "adb shell input"
Hi - I am wondering what the correct invocation of "adb shell input" is - It could be potentially very useful for me if I could inject key events into a running app. I've tried: > adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_0 or > adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_CALL etc. with an emulator running. I was inside the Dialer app and I was hoping that my numbers would show up. They do not. Neither the CALL or the ENDCALL buttons are clicked. I'm a little confused about the "adb shell input keyevent" syntax because it doesn't specify whether the action is UP or DOWN (or does it imply both a DOWN then an UP?). More often than not, I get something like: [1] Killed input keyevent CALL when I attempt to run "adb shell input keyevent .." In frustration, I tried "adb shell input keyevent 4" but this seemed to bounce me out of the dialer back to the menu. Can anyone shed some light as to whether I'm using this command correctly or if not, how and in what context it is intended to be used? Thanks so much. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: PhoneStateListener not called until Phone Activity completes...
I thinks I answered my own question again. The problem appears to be with the Android Service object. I was using an instance of the Service object to do my synchronization. In normal Java, when you call wait() inside of a synchronization block, the thread is supposed to release the monitor so that the thread can be notified ( ... because notify() must also be called from within a synchronization block.) It appears the Android Service object does not behave according to normal Java semantics i.e., it doesn't release the monitor when wait() is called. Therefore, notify() can't enter the monitor in order to wake up the thread and therefore, the wait always times out. The simple solution is to use another object as the synchronizer. I guess Service can be viewed as a special OS object with unique restrictions so it's understandable. However, this fact should definitely be placed in the documentation - yo Google.

[android-developers] PhoneStateListener not called until Phone Activity completes...
Hi - I'm having a problem with my PhoneStateListener not being called until after the Phone Activity is finished. Here is what I am doing: step 1: Install a PhoneStateListener. The listener is supposed to call notify() (synchronized on the lock object) when it detects a change in the phone state (specifically OFF_HOOK). step 2: Place a call with the ACTION_CALL intent. step 3: Call wait(timeout) (in a synchronized loop), waiting for the listener to wake us up. (I realize wait/notify can be tricky but am confident the implementation is correct...) Step 3 is always appearing to time out even though I am seeing the call go through properly on the emulator screen. No matter what timeout value I use, it always times out even though telephonyManager.getCallState() returns the correct value (OFF_HOOK). I tried placing step 2 and step 3 in their own, separate (ordinary Java) threads. Same behavior. When I tried placing step 1 in its own (ordinary Java) thread, Android throws: 11-17 12:12:01.451: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2004): Uncaught handler: thread Thread-9 exiting due to uncaught exception 11-17 12:12:01.451: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2004): java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() 11-17 12:12:01.451: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2004): at android.os.Handler.(Handler.java:111) 11-17 12:12:01.451: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2004): at android.telephony.PhoneStateListener$2.(PhoneStateListener.java: 235) 11-17 12:12:01.451: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2004): at android.telephony.PhoneStateListener.(PhoneStateListener.java: 234) 11-17 12:12:01.451: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2004): at test.phone.PhoneTestService$MyPhoneStateListener.

[android-developers] Re: PhoneStateListener not being called back
Answered my own question...
telMgr.listen(myPhoneStateListener,
TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE
| TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING |
TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK);
is wrong. This is right:
telMgr.list(myPhoneStateListener,
PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);
of course -
one still uses TelephoneManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE in
onCallStateChangedChanged so it's a bit tricky. Hey Google, Java has
enums yes?

[android-developers] Re: how to inject a KeyEvent
Hi Hackbod - sorry if I wasn't clear. This application is to be run in a COMPLETELY AUTOMATED mode - no humans clicking on anything. No humans at all - launch the app and review the results - that's it. (It's more of a test application than a consumer application.) What gave me hope is that there was an injectKeyEvent method on WindowManager in the last API release. See: http://www.anddev.org/throwing-simulating_keystrokes_programatically-t717.html I've tried killing the ACTION_CALL activity with finishActivity but it doesn't work. The system just ignores the request. Perhaps there is another way to hang up a call in an automated way. dreamer On Nov 13, 4:37 pm, hackbod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Fwiw, there has never been a public API to inject a key event, except > for the official API is on the Instrumentation class (which still > exists).

[android-developers] Re: how to inject a KeyEvent
Note that the key event injection is inside the SAME application. I am NOT trying to contact a foreign application to simulate e.g., user behavior.

[android-developers] how to inject a KeyEvent
I'm building a test application and I have to be able to hang up a call in an automated fashion. It occurred to me that I might be able to inject a key event: KeyEvent keyEvent = new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENDCALL ); into the event queue somehow. Apparently the last incarnation of the API had an injectKeyEvent() method in WindowManager but that's been stripped out. Anyone know how to do it in 1.0?

[android-developers] PhoneStateListener not being called back
private class MyPhoneStateListener extends PhoneStateListener
{
public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber)
{
log("listener call state: " + phoneStateToString(state) + " "

}
}
MyPhoneStateListener myPhoneStateListener = new MyPhoneStateListener
();
/*

telMgr.listen(myPhoneStateListener,
TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE);
telMgr.listen(myPhoneStateListener,
TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING);
telMgr.listen(myPhoneStateListener,
TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:
1234567"));
thisActivity.startActivity(myIntent);
I can see the call definitely get placed on the emulator - however, no
PhoneStateListener callback.
I can always resort to polling with
telMgr.getCallState()
but it's not as elegant as a callback - anyway, wondering what's up.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Oh - forgot to mention. The PhoneStateListener is still not working
for me - I was originally doing a wait/notify on the state I needed.
I changed the logic to a polling style which is not as elegant but
will work in a pinch.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
OK -
I invoked ACTION_CALL using startActivityForResult(Intent, MY_ID).
I then called finishActivity(MY_ID) - that should have killed the
ACTION_CALL Activity created by the system. However, I can confirm
that it does not.
My next brainwave was to generate a keypress on the hang-up button -
WindowManager wMgr = (WindowManager) getSystemService
(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
KeyEvent keyEvent = new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENDCALL );
However, WindowManager seems to have lost its injectKeyEvent() method
so I'm again... scratching my head.
hackbod was going on about using InstrumentationTestCase to generate
key events but that was for a foreign application - acting as an
outside user so-to-speak. I only need key presses generated in the
SAME application destined for the SAME application.
Anyway - thanks for the push in the right direction - if you have any
more insights, I thank you in advance...

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Hi Mark -
Yes, thank you for that - ~so~ much better. Call starts, screen
changes.. ooh aah.
However, still some issues -
Right off, PhoneStateListener callback isn't being invoked for one.
Still analyzing the logCat...
Frustrating for me that the API is so coy about what is a Thread, what
is a Process etc. I feel as though I need to know what I'm dealing
with.
I would like to at least attempt to call finish on the
OutgoingCallBroadcaster activity to see if it hangs up the call. The
problem now is to try to get a reference to it if that is possible.
Looking at ActivityManager and RunningTaskInfo ...

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
New Approach ...
I have a "Hello, World"-type program. Basically all I do is say
"Hello, World", install a useless button with a button-handler (to
forestall ANR a little), and then I attempt to make a call with the
ACTION_CALL Intent.
I am no longer attempting to start the ACTION_CALL Activity from a
Service!
I invoke the following statements inside the onResume() method of my
main "Hello, World" activity:
Uri parsedPhoneNumber = Uri.parse("tel:1234567");
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, parsedPhoneNumber);
Activity myPhoneTestActivity = new Activity();
myPhoneTestActivity.startActivityForResult(myIntent,
CALL_SETUP_ACTIVITY_ID); <== Crashes here, NullPointer
Thus, the ACTION_CALL is now being launched as a sub-Activity.
The behavior of this code inside an Activity is the same as it is
inside a Service - it crashes at the same place with a
NullPointerException (null mInstrumentation).
Hackbod pointed out that the previous crash (mInstruction = null,
according to Activity.java) was due to the fact that onCreate was not
being called for the Activity. So I FAKED a call to onCreate(), to
whit:
Uri parsedPhoneNumber = Uri.parse("tel:1234567");
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, parsedPhoneNumber);
Activity myPhoneTestActivity = new Activity();
==> myPhoneTestActivity.onCreate();
myPhoneTestActivity.startActivityForResult(myIntent,
CALL_SETUP_ACTIVITY_ID); <== Still crashes here but different
Of course, you're probably thinking that's not going to work and ..
you'd be right!

Error appears to be more deeply entangled in Android's inner
workings...
I was curious about how the ACTION_CALL was handled so I started doing
searches in the Android source code.
> /bin/find . -name '*.java' -print | xargs grep ACTION_CALL
Apparently, there is no code that handles this ... (checked the core
classes as well as anything having to do with phones or telephony..)
I'm asking myself now: Is ACTION_CALL implemented at all?? Is it
implemented but just not in the Emulator??
I'm attempting to launch this new Activity with the ACTION_CALL Intent
and Android does not ~appear~ anyway, to know what to do with it. If
that theory is true, then no wonder the Activity is crashing...
The other possibility of course, is that I am misunderstanding how to
set this up correctly.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Actually, thank you - you WERE correct - onCreate is NOT being called
for this Activity.
I tried doing a wait() for 5 - then 30 seconds on the onCreate
callback being called - the wait timed out... Hmmm how to force
an Activity to properly initialize itself.

According to my logCat readout - onCreate was already called a while
back - time to drill in deeper I guess.
I'm wondering why my attempt to install my own Instrumentation object
doesn't appear to be working (at least, none of the lifecycle
callbacks are talking to me).

Yep, it's possible that I got my life cycle out of order .. working on
that -

Actually your book, Haseman's book ("Android Essentials"), Gramlich's

Android").

I could think of some quite useful applications that would utilize
automated calling.
Leave a voice or text message for a bunch o' people. Try to contact
computer support or the IRS every 15 minutes - if someone actually
picks up, then transfer the call to the user ...
Yes, I suppose the latter capability could be used in a malicious way
e.g., to stalk someone - however, there's something called a "Previous
Number Dialed" button which can be used to do the same thing manually.

Yes, that situation already came up in the case of Applets ...
download an Applet - it will steal your passwords, start emailing
advertisements for erectile dysfunction cures, harass old ladies
etc...
See:

Not saying you're wrong - Android designers may have indeed been
afraid of this but if there are limitations they should be enumerated
somehow - sigh.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Sorry... I should have checked my logCat ... in fact onCreate has
already been called at the point where the NullPointerException is
thrown.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Hmmm... so perhaps I can call wait() or use some other kind of
synchronizer until I get the proper onCreate callback. Thank you very
much for that ... it's a start.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
initiateCall is just an Activity. Activity initiateCall = new
Activity(); (actually a derived class of Activity with nothing added
but debug statements to signal when each lifecycle/callback method is
called).

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Thanks for the reply, Mark (I recognize the name - I read your book.) I understand your reasonable argument. Unfortunately, the application I'm writing has a requirement that it be designed so that it is completely automated. It is not a true user application at all - more like a test application which maintains a socket connection to a driver program outside Android. I am trying to place a call with the Activity that may - but need not, have any graphical UI aspect to it. Launching an Activity appears to be the only way to place a call in Android 1.0. If the thinking of the API is to disallow any calls being placed in an automated fashion, it seems to me that there would be no need for ACTION_CALL - only ACTION_DIAL. I am also wondering if there exists within the exposed Android API, a way to hang up a call in an automated fashion. No appropriate intents exist - it seems the only remaining possibility is calling finish() or finishActivity(ACTIVITY_ID) on the Activity used to place or answer the call. However, there is nothing in the docs which actually states that. If I can get past my currently difficulty, I will definitely test it. I'll be reconfiguring the program to see if I can get different results - perhaps I missed something simple in the Manifest. However, a NullPointerException really does merit some explanation.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Hi - thank you for your reply. Yes, line 254 is just:
initiateCall.startActivityForResult(myIntent,
CALL_SETUP_ACTIVITY_ID);
That is the statement that throws the NullPointerException.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Taking a hint from the source code, I tried to implement an
Instrumentation class in the hopes that that was what Android was
looking for -
Added:
and
to the manifest.
However, same error.

[android-developers] Re: problem obtaining android source from windows/cygwin
Fixed my own problem: Go to: http://android.git.kernel.org/ Depending on your particular interest, you may want other packages but you probably definitely want platform/frameworks/base.git Nota Bene: Do ~~NOT~~ go to: http://source.android.com/download Guaranteed, you will waste a few hours struggling with repo, Python, gnugp, key encryption and other things (ask me how I know).

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Thanks for your reply - ha ha, wouldn't that be nice if it were that
simple. Nope, I checked the return from the Uri.parse - not null.
I got a hold of the Android source code. It is crashing here in
Activity.java:
public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int
requestCode) {
if (mParent == null) {
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
->>> mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken,
th
intent, requestCode);
Apparently, mInstrumentation is null.
mInstrumentation is set in a routine called attach in Activity.java.
I am trying to launch the Activity inside a Service - I don't see
anything that says that's illegal. However, clearly, I'm not giving
Android something that it wants.
Still scratching my head on this one for the time being...

[android-developers] Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Hi,
I'm attempting to initiate an outgoing call from inside a Service.
In onStart(), I create an ACTION_CALL Intent, then attempt to start an
Activity
myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" +
phoneNumber));
initiateCall.startActivityForResult(myIntent,
CALL_SETUP_ACTIVITY_ID);
However, when I run the code I get a NullPointerException. Clearly,
the intent and activity are non-null, so I'm wondering what Android is
lacking here.

What would be the active entity that will be generating the Intent? Remember, my code is supposed to be the one to initiate end-of-call NOT a human user. Why would there be an event out there at any given moment waiting for my code to capture? Is there some kind of heart-beat message sent out every so often to indicate an active call? ii) Which Intent is the one of interest? I couldn't find anything that matches in the Standard Broadcast Actions of Google's android.content.Intent write-up page. You might be talking about the ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL broadcast. However, I don't want to prevent an outgoing call, I want to hang up a call that is already connected - whether the call originated from or is answered by the g-phone.

Second question is how to hang up an ~incoming~ call after it has been answered On Oct 27, 11:50 am, dreamerBoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi - > > I am looking for a way to terminate a call in an automated fashion. > (I realize it can be done manually - the application requires that it > have control over the call so that it can hang up automatically.) > > To initiate a call, one starts an Activity with the ACTION_CALL > Intent. > > However, there does not appear to be any corresponding way to end it > with a corresponding Intent, or using the Telephony or > TelephonyManager interface/package. > > The only thing I can thing of is calling finish() on the Activity used > to start the call - but that doesn't seem right at all. > > Can anyone shed light on this issue? > > Thanks much. > > Paul --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] hanging up/terminating a call in an automated fashion
Hi - I am looking for a way to terminate a call in an automated fashion. (I realize it can be done manually - the application requires that it have control over the call so that it can hang up automatically.) To initiate a call, one starts an Activity with the ACTION_CALL Intent. However, there does not appear to be any corresponding way to end it with a corresponding Intent, or using the Telephony or TelephonyManager interface/package. The only thing I can thing of is calling finish() on the Activity used to start the call - but that doesn't seem right at all. Can anyone shed light on this issue? Thanks much.

[android-developers] Re: obtaining an IPhone.Stub
Yeah, saw that. If you read it carefully, there's no way to place an
outgoing call.
The damn API changed...
I believe the answer I was looking for was
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/Intent.html
ACTION_CALL
I'm still a bit unclear on the entire picture. I guess the receiver
here lives in the background and is launched automagically on startup
by Android (sort of like a system daemon on unix)? Upon receiving
your intent, it actually triggers the phone to initiate a call?
Is there some way to list all of these background services?
Can anyone help fill out the picture?
Thanks -
Paul

[android-developers] obtaining an IPhone.Stub
Hi -
I need to be able to place outgoing calls and interact with IPhone.
This apparently, ~was~ the way to get it:
private static IPhone getPhoneInterface() throws DeadObjectException {
IServiceManager sm = ServiceManagerNative.getDefault();
IPhone phoneService =
IPhone.Stub.asInterface(sm.getService("phone"));
return phoneService;
}
However, my eclipse project does not accept:
import android.os.ServiceManagerNative;
and there is no longer a ServiceManagerNative class in the android
javadoc.
The API must have changed. Does anyone know the new way to do this?
Much obliged.
Paul
