Can anyone give me a hint how to work with Android InputStream in native code.
More specific example:
Java code
public class SomeParser {
public native ArrayList<String> parse(InputStream stream);
}
I need to read InputStream in native and return matching patterns to Android Java code.
stream is BufferedInputStream from HttpRequest
You needd to pass a reference to the Stream through JNI to your native code, and then use JNI calls to act upon it. You will probably get java byte-arrays. These you can copy to native arrays using JNI. It is all standard JNI.

I'm trying to intercept some native library-calls via LD_PRELOAD.
This is working fine for simple libraries written in C, but now I try to go further and override some more complex class-methods from the AOSP written in C++.
Here's my example:
#include <rs/cpp/util/RefBase.h>
namespace android {
sp<MediaCodec> MediaCodec::CreateByType(const sp<ALooper> &looper, const char *mime, bool encoder) {
// TODO this will be implemented by me
return NULL;
}
}
In my Application.mk, I got the following piece of code:
APP_STL := gnustl_static
and inside the Android.mk this one:
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES += libstlport_static
Sadly, the error I get is the following:
jni/libhook/ld_preload.cpp:88:1: error: 'sp' does not name a type
Anyone an idea how to use sp<..> here? I assume it's not Android-specific but a standard C++-thing - I'm totally new at C++, just started "today" :)
I know this may be bad practice, so I'm welcome for any other idea.
sp<> is Android-specific. sp<> is Strong Pointer, wp<> is Weak Pointer; they came into being as part of the Binder IPC implementation.
The place to start looking for the implementation is the framework RefBase.h, which is a bit twisty for a C++ newcomer. None of what you're fiddling with is part of the public API defined by the NDK, which means it's subject to change between releases, so be aware that what you're trying to do may not work across devices or software updates.
I'm writing a program that needs to be able to read in HTML source code into a string.
I've read about WebClient for C# but I need to write my program in C++ and I'm not sure how to do that (I've never used WebClient before).
Can anyone give me a simple C++ example program showing me how to get HTML source code into a string using WebClient? (or any better method)
Thanks.
See this page, A Fully Featured Windows HTTP Wrapper in C++:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/66625/A-Fully-Featured-Windows-HTTP-Wrapper-in-C
Sample code from that page, looks like what you want:
void ProgressTest(void)
{
// Set URL and call back function.
WinHttpClient client(L"http://www.codeproject.com/", ProgressProc);
client.SendHttpRequest();
wstring httpResponseHeader = client.GetResponseHeader();
wstring httpResponseContent = client.GetResponseContent();
}
I don't know what webclient for c# is. To read a file into a string-:
std::ifstream ifs("webpage.html");
std::string str;
str.assign((std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(ifs)),
(std::istreambuf_iterator<char>()));
I have a C++ dll which is a plug-in to ADOBE Acrobat. It needs to talk often ( to and fro) and with a fair amount of complicated data-structures to a WPF process.
Any thoughts of what might be the best way to go . Need something that is a little long term and maintainable, in other words would love some ideas around something that lets both process make what looks like methods calls and some infrastructure piece does the marshaling and dispatch . I've tried Windows messages but ran into some conflict issues on ADOBE, also not really interested in anything that causes the dll to get adobe to load the CLR. Only other things that come to my mind are named pipes or http.
Thanks in Advance
Named pipes could do but you won't get a feeling of just calling functions. Named pipe are quite low-level IPC. Other IPC options are:
Windows RPC, you definitely get a feeling of just calling functions.
What about hosting a COM object in WPF application and calling it from the Adobe plugin?
I would go with COM:
Implement an interface in WPF app
generate a typelib (e.g by using regasm)
import the typelib into C++ dll
communicate
if you need bidirectional communication, C++ dll can also implement a COM interface which is then accessed from WPF application.
This is what I have used to connect legacy C++ app with new .NET service, and it works great. The biggest issue is to find people who know COM, but fortunately this doesn't require a deep understanding of COM.
your hint with COM is very intersting. I tried to implement this concept.
I have created an interface in my WPF CallDllFromWpf3Interface project:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace CallDllFromWpf3Interface
{
[Guid("F6E0E2E8-CCC6-487B-8BF1-261265061E6A")]
public interface SetValueInterface
{
void SetValue(int value);
}
}
Then I have generated the typelib with the regasm tool:
regasm CallDllFromWpf3Interface.exe /tlb
With the "oleview" tool I can see the typelib and the interface.
The next step was to create a c++ dll project called "CallSetValueInterface".
In my CallSetValueInterface.cpp file I wrote this lines:
#import "D:\Thomas\Programming\WPF\Basics\CallDllFromWpf\CallDllFromWpf3Interface\CallDllFromWpf3Interface\bin\Debug\CallDllFromWpf3Interface.tlb"
void
CallSetValueInterface::startAcq(void)
{
CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
CallDllFromWpf3Interface::SetValueInterfacePtr Svip("f6e0e2e8-ccc6-487b-8bf1-261265061e6a");
Svip->SetValue(55);
Svip = NULL;
CoUninitialize();
}
After a successful build of the dll project I copied "CallSetValueInterface.dll" to the "CallDllFromWpf3Interface" project.
Finally I changed my WPF code to:
#region SetValueInterface Members
public void SetValue(int value)
{
MyValue = value;
}
#endregion
[DllImport("CallSetValueInterface.dll", EntryPoint = "startAcq", ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern void StartAcqFromDll();
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
StartAcqFromDll();
}
And when the debugger came to StartAcqFromDll() there occurred an error dialog "An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException' occurred in CallDllFromWpf3Interface.exe".
Does anybody know whats going wrong?

I was working with porting the sample from the link below to a Windows 8 Metro styled app
http://aws.amazon.com/code/Product-Advertising-API/2480
Looks like many features from the web model are removed (or moved) in WinRT:
HttpUtility.UrlEncode
HttpUtility.UrlDecode
HMAC / HMACSHA256
to name a few. Are there alternatives to these on WInRT? I looked online and there's very little insight.
Theres source code for URLDecode here, and looks like Uri.EscapeDataString can be used for Encode.
http://www.koders.com/csharp/fid1A50096D8FA38302680B0EEDAC5B1CE1AEA855D0.aspx?s=%22Lawrence+Pit%22
copy the source code over, change the GetChars function to this
static char [] GetChars (MemoryStream b, Encoding e)
{
return e.GetChars (b.ToArray(), 0, (int) b.Length);
}
I had to use the code snippet from here to properly hash encrypt the string
http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/TechOff/Porting-to-WinRT/4df7586e1ef5400682eda00f0143b610
Use methods from the WebUtility class instead:
System.Net.WebUtility.UrlEncode(string);
System.Net.WebUtility.UrlDecode(string);
I'm looking for a simple example code for C++\IronPython integration, i.e. embedding python code inside a C++, or better yet, Visual C++ program.
The example code should include: how to share objects between the languages, how to call functions\methods back and forth etc...
Also, an explicit setup procedure would help too. (How to include the Python runtime dll in Visual Studio etc...)
I've found a nice example for C#\IronPython here, but couldn't find C++\IronPython example code.
UPDATE - I've written a more generic example (plus a link to a zip file containing the entire VS2008 project) as entry on my blog here.
Sorry, I am so late to the game, but here is how I have integrated IronPython into a C++/cli app in Visual Studio 2008 - .net 3.5. (actually mixed mode app with C/C++)
I write add-ons for a map making applicaiton written in Assembly. The API is exposed so that C/C++ add-ons can be written. I mix C/C++ with C++/cli. Some of the elements from this example are from the API (such as XPCALL and CmdEnd() - please just ignore them)
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void XPCALL PythonCmd2(int Result, int Result1, int Result2)
{
if(Result==X_OK)
{
try
{
String^ filename = gcnew String(txtFileName);
String^ path = Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly()->Location;
ScriptEngine^ engine = Python::CreateEngine();
ScriptScope^ scope = engine->CreateScope();
ScriptSource^ source = engine->CreateScriptSourceFromFile(String::Concat(Path::GetDirectoryName(path), "\\scripts\\", filename + ".py"));
scope->SetVariable("DrawingList", DynamicHelpers::GetPythonTypeFromType(AddIn::DrawingList::typeid));
scope->SetVariable("DrawingElement", DynamicHelpers::GetPythonTypeFromType(AddIn::DrawingElement::typeid));
scope->SetVariable("DrawingPath", DynamicHelpers::GetPythonTypeFromType(AddIn::DrawingPath::typeid));
scope->SetVariable("Node", DynamicHelpers::GetPythonTypeFromType(AddIn::Node::typeid));
source->Execute(scope);
}
catch(Exception ^e)
{
Console::WriteLine(e->ToString());
CmdEnd();
}
}
else
{
CmdEnd();
}
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
As you can see, I expose to IronPython some objects (DrawingList, DrawingElement, DrawingPath & Node). These objects are C++/cli objects that I created to expose "things" to IronPython.
When the C++/cli source->Execute(scope) line is called, the only python line
to run is the DrawingList.RequestData.
RequestData takes a delegate and a data type.
When the C++/cli code is done, it calls the delegate pointing to the
function "diamond"
In the function diamond it retrieves the requested data with the call to
DrawingList.RequestedValue() The call to DrawingList.AddElement(dp) adds the
new element to the Applications visual Database.
And lastly the call to DrawingList.EndCommand() tells the FastCAD engine to
clean up and end the running of the plugin.
import clr
def diamond(Result1, Result2, Result3):
if(Result1 == 0):
dp = DrawingPath()
dp.drawingStuff.EntityColor = 2
dp.drawingStuff.SecondEntityColor = 2
n = DrawingList.RequestedValue()
dp.Nodes.Add(Node(n.X-50,n.Y+25))
dp.Nodes.Add(Node(n.X-25,n.Y+50))
dp.Nodes.Add(Node(n.X+25,n.Y+50))
dp.Nodes.Add(Node(n.X+50,n.Y+25))
dp.Nodes.Add(Node(n.X,n.Y-40))
DrawingList.AddElement(dp)
DrawingList.EndCommand()
DrawingList.RequestData(diamond, DrawingList.RequestType.PointType)
I hope this is what you were looking for.
If you don't need .NET functionality, you could rely on embedding Python instead of IronPython. See Python's documentation on Embedding Python in Another Application for more info and an example. If you don't mind being dependent on BOOST, you could try out its Python integration library.
