[android-developers] Re: Retreivng data from internet source.

[murphy]

Thanks for the explanation. I found the files there alright so the
code is working which is great. Now I need to access the files in the
device to display their contents in a TextView in a screen. I've been
trying to do something like this:

String text = new String(istr);
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.somenews);
tv.setText(text);
setContentView(R.layout.latestnews);

but I'm not really sure how to do it.

 Sorry. Back up.

 You said you use Eclipse.

 Eclipse, with the Android plugin, has a perspective called DDMS. If you
 cannot find it, run the ddms program from the tools/ folder in your SDK,
 then select your running emulator in the table on the left.

 In either the perspective or the standalone tool, there should be a menu
 choice called File Explorer. Choose it.

 That will bring up a tree showing the contents of the filesystems on
 your running emulator. In there, browse to
 /data/data/whatever.you.elected.to.call.your.package/files, and you will
 (hopefully) see your files.

setContentView() has to be called before findViewById(), assuming the
layout you define in setContentView() has the widgets you're trying to
access in findViewById().

I'm using the code in this fashion:

try{



URL myURL = new URL(http://www.indulec.ie/weather.txt;);

URLConnection conn = myURL.openConnection();
conn.connect();

BufferedReader is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(conn.getInputStream(), UTF-8));

FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput(news.txt,
MODE_WORLD_READABLE);

OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut, UTF-8);

String istr;

while ((istr = is.readLine()) != null)
osw.write(istr+\n);
osw.close();

setContentView(R.layout.latestnews);
String text = new String(istr);
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.somenews);
tv.setText(text);
}
catch ( IOException e )
{
Log.d(TAG, Can not connect to the target server! );
try {
throw new IOException();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}


but I'm just getting an error saying the app has stopped unexpectedly.
The whole setContentView() bit is wrong but i'm just not sure how to
access the news.txt file once it has been saved in the devices data
files.

char[] inputBuffer = new char[255];
String data = null;

try{

  isr.read(inputBuffer);
  data = new String(inputBuffer);
  Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), Settings
read,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
  catch (Exception e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), Settings not
read,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
  finally {
 try {
isr.close();
fIn.close();
} catch (IOException e) {

}
  }
  setContentView(R.layout.latestnews);

  tv.setText(data);

Thanks very much for all your help. It is much appreciated.

Hi, you should try something like

URL myURL = new URL(http://lol.com/lol.txt;);
URLConnection conn = myURL.openConnection();
conn.connect();
BufferedReader is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(conn.getInputStream(), UTF8));
FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput(lol.txt, MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut, UTF8);
String istr;
while ((istr = is.readLine()) != null)
osw.write(istr+\n);
osw.close();


This download the http://lol.comlol.txt file to lol.txt local file
Also check the DDMS LogCat tab for where  your error is.

[android-developers] Re: Retreivng data from internet source.

[Streets Of Boston]

Your use of HttpGet is good.
However, you cast an InputStream to a char-sequence when calling
tv.setText((CharSequence)input);.
This will give you a class-cast exception. Read char-data from the
InputStream instead.

Also, try to find out if 'entity' has some methods to get a String
back that has the content of the HttpResponse. Then you can skip
handling the InputStream and reading a string from it.


Also, did you give your app internet-permission?

You are attempting to download news.txt. Given your code, when downloaded,
that file will appear in:

/data/data/your.package.here/files

 I have uses-permission android:name=android.permission.INTERNET/
 uses-permission included in my Manifest, this just has to be
 physically typed in right? I don't need to add it in some way.

No, but it might be in the wrong spot. If you could, post both your
AndroidManifest.xml that you are using with the above code and the actual
Java error you are receiving (via adb logcat, DDMS, the DDMS perspective
in Eclipse).

                     FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput(news.txt,
  MODE_WORLD_READABLE);

                     OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut, 
  UTF8);

                     String istr;

                     while ((istr = is.readLine()) != null)
                     osw.write(istr+\n);
                     osw.close();
                     }
                     catch (IOException e) {
                  throw new RuntimeException(e);

          }

  but it doesn't seem to be editing my news.txt file. I have it saved in
  the assets folder of my application. Is this correct?

 You are attempting to download news.txt. Given your code, when downloaded,
 that file will appear in:

 /data/data/your.package.here/files

  I have uses-permission android:name=android.permission.INTERNET/
  uses-permission included in my Manifest, this just has to be
  physically typed in right? I don't need to add it in some way.

 No, but it might be in the wrong spot. If you could, post both your
 AndroidManifest.xml that you are using with the above code and the actual
 Java error you are receiving (via adb logcat, DDMS, the DDMS perspective
 in Eclipse).

[android-developers] Re: Retreivng data from internet source.

[Mark Murphy]

 I'm not receiving any error.

Ah, sorry. I was sifting through earlier messages in the thread and
thought you were getting an error.

 Its just that when I click the button in
 my application which should call a function to go online and download
 data to the news.txt file, nothing happens.

The manifest looks OK.

You use UTF8 instead of UTF-8 in your streams, and I think the latter
is the correct value there.

If it helps, here is a slight variation of your algorithm, at least on the
reading side:

http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.net/ReadFromURL.html

Do you have any evidence that the code is executing (e.g., stepping
through it in Eclipse, sprinkling in Log.d statements)?

UTF-8 and UTF8 are aliased so both of them are ok. And as Mark said
your file will be written in
/data/data/your.package.here/files

I can't find /data/data/my.package.here/files. I don't seem to have a

[Mark Murphy]

 I can't find /data/data/my.package.here/files. I don't seem to have a
 data folder.

Are you working on the emulator, or the device?

If it's the device, you probably cannot browse to the location using DDMS
due to security restrictions. However, you should be able to use adb pull
to pull the file given the full path, IIRC.

The emulator, though, should let you browse to your package (whatever the
name is, shown above as my.package.here) and its contents.

Be sure you look in the InternalMemory, not the SDCard aswell

I'm working on the emulator using eclipse. I have a workspace for the
project on my desktop. When I go into my application's folder my
options are other folders like .setting, assets, res, bin and src. I
don't know where to go to find the news.txt file.

Ah!

You're looking in your project, not in the device.

Go to the DDMS perspective, and you should find a menu choice(?) for
browsing the file system of the running emulator. In the standalone DDMS,
it's a File Explorer menu choice.

[murphy]

Okay, I went to the Device's menu, selected Dev Tools, then went to
Package Browser and found my package, selected it and was then brought
to a screen displaying details. Under Data is written /data/data/
my.package.name. Don't know what any of it means. Couldn't see any
sign of the text file. Sorry for being so bad at this. Only been
really getting into Android recently.

Sorry. Back up.

You said you use Eclipse.

Eclipse, with the Android plugin, has a perspective called DDMS. If you
cannot find it, run the ddms program from the tools/ folder in your SDK,
then select your running emulator in the table on the left.

In either the perspective or the standalone tool, there should be a menu
choice called File Explorer. Choose it.

That will bring up a tree showing the contents of the filesystems on
your running emulator. In there, browse to
/data/data/whatever.you.elected.to.call.your.package/files, and you will
(hopefully) see your files.
