I want to check every second if /sys/bus/usb/devices/ directory is empty or it contain files because I want to make text inside app that says otg not connected if directory is empty or to say otg connected if directory contain files and I want to check that outside the app,while it runs in background! I need to check every second if directory is empty or it contain files?
I have crated detection using alarm manager but it doesn't work.It's just repeating "otg connected"
MainActivity.class
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
private Process suProcess;
private PendingIntent pendingIntent;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
getRoot();
startAlarm();
}
private void getRoot()
{
try
{
suProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
}
catch (IOException e)
{
}
}
private void startAlarm()
{
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, alarmIntent, 0);
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
int interval = 1000;
manager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), interval, pendingIntent);
}
}
Alarm Receiver.class
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context,Intent intent)
{
File[] listFiles = new File("/sys/bus/usb/devices").listFiles();
if (listFiles == null) Toast.makeText(context,"otg not connected",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if (listFiles != null) Toast.makeText(context,"otg connected",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

Directory "/sys/bus/usb/devices" is empty when otg cable is not attached !!!!

Then use your debugger to find out what is happening. As we keep telling you.

What happens is that his directory is indeed there, but he does not check up against files or other stuff inside the directory. I tried to explain the process to him in the post below, as well as another suggestion that will make his application not throttle CPU every 1 second to check if the directory was modified or not.

First of all, my recommendation is to consider using the FileObserver in Android, instead of triggering that each second to check if there are files or not. That is a good approach towards going through what you want to do.
Secondly, as Richard mentioned, the reason is that the list object is not null, that doesn't mean its count or length or size is also zero. Just to show you what I really mean, here is a sample code,
File directory = new File("/path/to/folder");
File[] contents = directory.listFiles();
if(contents == null) {
} else if(contents.length == 0) {
} else {
}
You can update your code, to meet this structure and then show the Toast notifications in Android. So kindly implement these two things, first of all that service will help you not throttle CPU every second.
For an example of FileObserver please see: java - How do you implement a FileObserver from an Android Service - Stack Overflow.

Now when I launch it shows otg not connected and it's repeating it many times and when I plug in otg cable it's still repeating "otg not connected" and after some time it shows "otg connected" !!!!
When I start app it shouldn't show anything, it should only show when I plug in or when I plug out otg cable.And it shouldn't repeat same message many times !!!!
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context,Intent intent)
{
File directory = new File("/sys/bus/usb/devices");
File[] contents = directory.listFiles();
if(contents.length == 0)
{
Toast.makeText(context,"otg not connected",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(context,"otg connected",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}

That is because there are a few Toasts already in the queue, that need to be rendered. That is one of the backdrops of this timer trigger.

Bad idea. All that does is needlessly tie up the CPU.

Why it's not working?
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
private Process suProcess;
private static int conn_length = -1;
File directory = new File("/sys/bus/usb/devices");
File[] contents = directory.listFiles();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
getRoot();
FileObserver observer = new FileObserver("/sys/bus/usb/devices")
{
@Override
public void onEvent(int event, String file)
{
if(contents.length == conn_length){
return;
}
else{
conn_length = contents.length;
}
if(conn_length == 0)
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"otg not connected",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"otg connected",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
};
observer.startWatching();
}
private void getRoot()
{
try
{
suProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
}
catch (IOException e)
{
}
}
}

Define "not working."
Since you asked for ALL_EVENTS, your event handler is potentially going to get called for a lot of events, yet you are not checking for any of them. Is that intentional?
You are calling listFiles() once before startWatching(). I would think that you'd want to call listFiles() only after a CREATE event.

I have changed code to this but it still won't show message when cable is connected or disconnected !!!!
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity

File directory = new File("/sys/bus/usb/devices");
File[] contents;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
getRoot();
FileObserver observer = new FileObserver("/sys/bus/usb/devices")
{
@Override
public void onEvent(int event, String file)
{
if(event == FileObserver.CREATE)
{
contents = directory.listFiles();
if (contents.length == conn_length)
{
return;
}
else
{
conn_length = contents.length;
}
if (conn_length == 0)
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "otg disconnected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "otg connected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Did you set a breakpoint in the event handler? Using the debugger, what is the value of event, contents, and conn_length?

How to use app to detect when otg cable is plugged in and when it's plugged out? Is there intent for otg cable like this for usb devices: "android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED"
I have created app like this but I only detects flash drive not otg cable:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
private TextView mInfo;
private Logger mLogger;
private HashMap<UsbDevice, UsbDataBinder> mHashMap = new HashMap<UsbDevice, UsbDataBinder>();
private UsbManager mUsbManager;
private PendingIntent mPermissionIntent;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.log);
mLogger = new Logger(this);
mLogger.setMode(Logger.MODE_TOAST);
mUsbManager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
usbConnection();
}
private void usbConnection() {
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED);
registerReceiver(mUsbAttachReceiver , filter);
filter = new IntentFilter(UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED);
registerReceiver(mUsbDetachReceiver , filter);
mPermissionIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(ACTION_USB_PERMISSION), 0);
filter = new IntentFilter(ACTION_USB_PERMISSION);
registerReceiver(mUsbReceiver, filter);
showDevices();
}
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
unregisterReceiver(mUsbDetachReceiver);
unregisterReceiver(mUsbAttachReceiver);
unregisterReceiver(mUsbReceiver);
};
BroadcastReceiver mUsbDetachReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED.equals(action)) {
UsbDevice device = (UsbDevice)intent.getParcelableExtra(UsbManager.EXTRA_DEVICE);
if (device != null) {
UsbDataBinder binder = mHashMap.get(device);
if (binder != null) {
binder.onDestroy();
mHashMap.remove(device);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Attached!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
}
};
BroadcastReceiver mUsbAttachReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED.equals(action)) {
showDevices();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Detached!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
};
private static final String ACTION_USB_PERMISSION = "com.android.example.USB_PERMISSION";
private final BroadcastReceiver mUsbReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (ACTION_USB_PERMISSION.equals(action)) {
synchronized (this) {
UsbDevice device = (UsbDevice) intent
.getParcelableExtra(UsbManager.EXTRA_DEVICE);
if (intent.getBooleanExtra(
UsbManager.EXTRA_PERMISSION_GRANTED, false)) {
if (device != null) {
UsbDataBinder binder = new UsbDataBinder(mUsbManager, device);
mHashMap.put(device, binder);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Permission Granted!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} else {
}
}
}
}
};
private void showDevices() {
HashMap<String, UsbDevice> deviceList = mUsbManager.getDeviceList();
Iterator<UsbDevice> deviceIterator = deviceList.values().iterator();
while(deviceIterator.hasNext()){
UsbDevice device = deviceIterator.next();
mUsbManager.requestPermission(device, mPermissionIntent);
mLogger.log("usb", "name: " + device.getDeviceName() + ", " +
"ID: " + device.getDeviceId());
mInfo.append(device.getDeviceName() + "\n");
mInfo.append(device.getDeviceId() + "\n");
mInfo.append(device.getDeviceProtocol() + "\n");
mInfo.append(device.getProductId() + "\n");
mInfo.append(device.getVendorId() + "\n");
}

Hello there. I am trying to make a simple http POST request using HttpUrlConnection. Problem is that response code is 200 but the response message NOT success.
You can see that I set all the necessary header parameters. I am supposed to get success message. But I get {"status":false,"message":"Invalid access"} with responseCode = 200.
Below is the code (I am developing against Lollipop)
protected SubmitRequestTask.ResponseObject doInBackground(Object... object)
{
String encodedStr = URLEncoder.encode(object.getDataToSendRAW(), "UTF-8");
BufferedReader reader = null;
int responseCode = -1;
try
{
URL url = new URL();
Map<String, String> headerParams = new HashMap<String, String>();
headerParams.put("Accept", "application/json");
headerParams.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
HttpUrlConnection networkConnection = MakeRequest(
url,
"POST",
headerParams,
null);
if(networkConnection == null)
return new ResponseObject(-1, "Uknown Error");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(networkConnection.getInputStream()));
while ((response = reader.readLine()) != null)
sb.append(response + "\n");
response = sb.toString();
}
catch(Exception ex) {}
finally {
responseCode = networkConnection.getResponseCode();
networkConnection.disconnect();
}
return new ResponseObject(responseCode, response);
}
private HttpUrlConnection MakeRequest(URL url, String method, Map<String, String> headerParams, NetworkConfig config)
{
HttpURLConnection htp_url_connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
htp_url_connection.setRequestMethod(method);
if (headerParams != null && method.trim().toLowerCase().equals("post"))
{
htp_url_connection.setDoOutput(true);
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : headerParams.entrySet()) {
(htp_url_connection.setRequestProperty(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
if (encodedStr.trim().length() > 0) {
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(htp_url_connection.getOutputStream());
writer.write(encodedStr);
writer.flush();
}
}
htp_url_connection.setConnectTimeout(5000);
int responseCode = htp_url_connection.getResponseCode();
if(responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK )
return htp_url_connection;
}
Sample JSON data (which I encode in doInBackground).
{
"plot_unique_id":"355618",
"plot_physical_address":"owner",
"plot_id":"355617",
"location":"31.475885,74.3422574",
"action_type":"1",
"plot_sub_id":"1",
"apk_version":"1.0",
"imei_no":"862037029044152",
"owners":[......]
}
What could be the problem?? Thanks for any input.

That is correct; the HTTP response is 200 telling you that the server responded with some data. The response data is a JSON reply which contains information about the JSON request. You need to contact the owners of the website, or the documentation, to find out why it returned the "Invalid access" status.
