Blackberry getting notified when the internet connection is available. - networking

is there any way to know whether the net is connected or not in a blackbery device .I have the following code but it was waiting till the network timed out.
int rc = connection.getResponseCode();
if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
}
Is there any other way.

The title of this question has a different meaning than the body of the question. Based on the title, you can be notified when the network starts by using the RadioStatusListener interface, which defines a networkStarted() function. You could then use the checks that coldice recommends to make sure that the current network supports data transfer.
RadioStatusListner JavaDocs

There are several API for getting network info:
RadioInfo.isDataServiceOperational();
CoverageInfo.isOutOfCoverage();
WLANInfo.getWLANState();

urequests micropython problem (multiple POST requests to google forms)

I'm trying to send data to Google Forms directly (without and external service like IFTTT) using an esp8266 with micropython. I've already used IFTTT but at this point is not useful for me, i need a sampling rate of more or equal to 100 Hz and as you know this exceeds the IFTTT's usage limit. I've tried making a RAM buffer, but i got a error saying that the buffer exceded the RAM size (4 MB) so that's why im trying to do directly.
After trying some time i got it partially. I say "partially" because i have to do a random get-request after the post-request; i don't know why it works, but it works (in this way i can send data to Google Forms every second approximately, or maybe less). I guess the problem is that the esp8266 can't close the connection with Google Forms and it gets stuck when it tries to do a new post-request, if this were the problem, i don't know how to fix it in another way, any suggestions? The complete code is here:
ssid = 'my_network'
password = 'my_password'
import urequests
def do_connect():
import network
sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
if not sta_if.isconnected():
print('connecting to network...')
sta_if.active(True)
sta_if.connect(ssid, password)
while not sta_if.isconnected():
pass
print('network config:', sta_if.ifconfig())
def main():
do_connect()
print ("CONNECTED")
url = 'url_of_my_google_form'
form_data = 'entry.61639300=example' #have to change the entry
user_agent = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
while True:
response = urequests.post(url, data=form_data, headers=user_agent)
print ("DATA HAVE BEEN SENT")
response.close
print("TRYING TO SEND ANOTHER ONE...")
response = urequests.get("http://micropython.org/ks/test.html") #<------ RANDOM URL, I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS CODE WORKS CORRECTLY IN THIS WAY
print("RANDOM GET:")
print(response.text)
response.close
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Thank you for your time guys. Also i've tried with this code before but it DOESN'T WORK. Without the random get-request, it gets stuck after one or two times of posting:
while True:
response = urequests.post(url, data=form_data, headers=user_agent)
print ("DATA HAVE BEEN SENT")
response.close
print("TRYING TO SEND ANOTHER ONE...")
Shouldn't it be response.close() (with brackets)?.. 🤔,
Without brackets you access a (non existing) property close of the object response instead of calling the method close(), and do not really close the connection. This could lead to memory overflow.

Twain always returns TWRC_NOTDSEVENT

I use twain 2.3 (TWAINDSM.DLL) in my application with HP Scanjet 200 TWAIN Protocol 1.9.
My TWAIIN calls are:
OpenDSM: DG_CONTROL, DAT_PARENT, MSG_OPENDSM
OpenDS: DG_CONTROL, DAT_IDENTITY, MSG_OPENDS
EnableDS: DG_CONTROL, DAT_USERINTERFACE, MSG_ENABLEDS
ProcessDeviceEvent: DG_CONTROL, DAT_EVENT, MSG_PROCESSEVENT
and as a result of the last call I allways get TWRC_NOTDSEVENT instead of TWRC_DSEVENT.
Could please someone help with this?
Once you use DG_CONTROL / DAT_EVENT / MSG_PROCESSEVENT, all messages from the applications message loop must be sent to the data source for processing. Receiving TWRC_NOTDSEVENT means the forwarded message isn't for the source so the application should process it as normal.
Keep forwarding all messages to the source until you receive MSG_XFERREADY which means there is data to transfer. Once the transfer is finished and you have sent MSG_DISABLEDS that's when you can stop forwarding messages to the source.
Twain is a standard, and when many company implement that standard, not all of them do the same way. Along the way to support Twain, we will learn and adjust the code to support all the different implementations.
I experienced this situation before, and this is my workaround:
Instead of placing (rc == TWRC_DSEVENT) at the beginning of code (will skip the following MSG_XFERREADY processing afterward) you can move the comparison to the end after MSG_XFERREADY processing, so that MSG_XFERREADY is always checked and processed.
(rc == TWRC_DSEVENT) is only to determine if we should forward the window message or not.
I don't know your specific situation. I ran into a similar issue because I called OpenDSM with a HWND/wId which is from another process. You should call OpenDSM with the HWND of
the active window/dialog which is owned by current process.

Unable to get message from queue in IBM websphere MQ

I am connecting remotely to MQ on the server and i installed MQ client v6.0 on my machine.
I am able to put the message into the queue but i am unable to get the message from the same queue the output is "RC2033: MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE"
Can anyone please help me to find the issue?
Will this be due to properties of the queue?
The following is the code which i am using to pop the message :
Pop Message:
queue = mqQMgr.AccessQueue("queue_name", MQC.MQOO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING + MQC.MQOO_INPUT_SHARED);
MQMessage queueMessage = new MQMessage();
queueMessage.Format = MQC.MQFMT_STRING;
MQGetMessageOptions queueGetMessageOptions = new MQGetMessageOptions();
queueGetMessageOptions.Options = MQC.MQGMO_WAIT;
queueGetMessageOptions.MatchOptions = MQC.MQMO_NONE;
queueGetMessageOptions.WaitInterval = 1000;
queue.Get(queueMessage, queueGetMessageOptions);
tbPoptxt.Text = "Message No" + count + ":" + queueMessage.ReadString(queueMessage.MessageLength);
PUSH CODE
int optons = MQC.MQOO_OUTPUT + MQC.MQOO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING;//Queue which opens with options output
queue = mqQMgr.AccessQueue("queue_name", optons);
MQMessage queueMessage = new MQMessage();
queueMessage.WriteString(tbPushtxt.Text.ToString());
queueMessage.Format = MQC.MQFMT_STRING;
MQPutMessageOptions queuePutMessageOptions = new MQPutMessageOptions();
queuePutMessageOptions.Options = MQC.MQGMO_SYNCPOINT | MQC.MQGMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING;
queue.Put(queueMessage, queuePutMessageOptions);
mqQMgr.Commit();
I am using same queue for putting a message and poping a message
Look in the samples directory for the nmqsput and nmqsget c# examples - these do exactly what you are after and are good working examples.
Looking at the code above, I do not think there is a problem getting the message, followed up by your comment that amqsputc failed to find a message as well. I think the problem is on the putting side.
This may sound a silly question, but how do you know the message is there. What is the curdepth after the put? Look at the queue status - are there any uncommitted messages? (One thing I've seen before is putting under a unit of work (syncpoint) and then not committing and then another application trying to get it.

Memory leak while sending response from rebus handler

I saw a very strange behavior in my rebus handler which is self hosted in exe. Right after sending response using bus.send method it adds up some memory consumed by process. I tried to look up object graph using memory profile and found that rebus is holding response message in serialized format somewhere.
Object graph was showing below hierarchy to the root.
System.Message --> CachedBodyMessage --> stream
Give me some pointers if anybody is aware of this thing.
I understand that a memory leak is a grave concern, but my belief is that it is unlikely that Rebus should contain a memory leak.
This belief is rooted in the fact that I have been running Windows Service-hosted Rebus endpoints in production for 1,5 years now, and several of them (e.g. the timeout managers) have sometimes been running for several months without being restarted.
I'd like to be absolutely bulletproof sure though, so I'm willing to investigate the issue you're reporting.
You're mentioning "CachedBodyMessage" - judging by the names of fields inside System.Messaging.Message, it sounds like it's something within MSMQ. To try to reproduce your issue, I coded the following test:
[Test, Ignore("Only works in RELEASE mode because otherwise object references are held on to for the duration of the method")]
public void DoesNotLeakMessages()
{
// arrange
const string inputQueueName = "test.leak.input";
var queue = new MsmqMessageQueue(inputQueueName);
disposables.Add(queue);
var body = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(new string('*', 32768));
var message = new TransportMessageToSend
{
Headers = new Dictionary<string, object> { { Headers.MessageId, "msg-1" } },
Body = body
};
var weakMessageRef = new WeakReference(message);
var weakBodyRef = new WeakReference(body);
// act
queue.Send(inputQueueName, message, new NoTransaction());
message = null;
body = null;
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
// assert
Assert.That(weakMessageRef.IsAlive, Is.False, "Expected the message to have been collected");
Assert.That(weakBodyRef.IsAlive, Is.False, "Expected the body bytes to have been collected");
}
which verifies that the sent transport message is collected as it should (will only do this in RELEASE mode though, because of the way DEBUG mode holds on to object references within scope)
I'll try and run the TimePrinter sample now and leave it running for a while to see if I can reproduce the issue. If you stumble upon more information about e.g. exactly which objects are leaking, it would be very helpful.
Thanks again for taking the time to report your worries to me :)
Followup:
I've modified the TimePrinter sample so that it sends 50 msg/s and includes a 64 KB random string payload with each message, and I've tracked the memory usage for almost four hours now. As you can see, it does not look like memory is being leaked.
I'll leave it running the rest of the day, just to be sure.
Maybe you can tell me some more about why you suspected there was a memory leak in the first place?
Update:
As you can see from the trace, it has now been running for 7 hours and thus more than 1,200,000 messages containing more than 70 GB of data has been sent and consumed by the same process. If cached message bodies were leaking, I am pretty sure that we would have been able to see something rising on the graph.

Blackberry JDE HTTPConnection problems

So, I'm using the HTTPConnection Class, like so:
HttpConnection c =
(HttpConnection)Connector.open("http://147.117.66.165:8000/eggs.3gp");
Following what LOOKS like the right way to do things in the Blackberry JDE API.
However, my code crashes if I try to do just about anything with the variable 'c'.
.getType()
.getInputStream()
.getStatus()
all cause it to crash.
I can, however get the URL from it, and I can look at the variable 'c' itself to know that it did, in fact, get created.
Did I manage to create a broken Connection? Do I need to do something else to actually do things with the connection? Under what circumanstances will this happen (I know the link is good, I can use the blackberry's browser to visit it).
Am I just using HttpConnection wrong? How would I do things correctly?
What error is it throwing when it crashes? You may want to try adding the "Connector.READ_WRITE" as a second argument to your open call - even if it's just a "read only" connection like a GET, some OSes such as 4.6 will throw an exception unless you open it in read/write mode.
I figured out what was wrong by finding some sample code that was using HttpConnection, (at least, I think I did, at least, I can access all those variables, now). Before, I wasn't ever casting it as a "Stream Connection" (the examples I saw had it cast from Connector to HTTPConnection).
StreamConnection s = null;
s = (StreamConnection)Connector.open("http://10.252.9.15/eggs.3gp");
HttpConnection c = (HttpConnection)s;
InputStream i = c.openInputStream();
System.out.println("~~~~~I have a connection?~~~~~~" + c);
System.out.println("~~~~~I have a URL?~~~~" + c.getURL());
System.out.println("~~~~~I have a type?~~~~" + c.getType());
System.out.println("~~~~~I have a status?~~~~~~" + c.getResponseCode());
System.out.println("~~~~~I have a stream?~~~~~~" + i);
player = Manager.createPlayer(i, c.getType());
Even though the stream is now successfully being created, I'm still having problems USING it, but that might be because my connection is so slow.
The API documentation for HttpConnection suggests the first call should be to c.getResponseCode(), try that.
You should find everything you need in my blog post "An HttpRequest and HttpResponse library for BB OS5+"
And for invoking media within your application you can do either a browser invokation or directly from app. You would probably be best to use the browser like so:
BrowserSession invokeHighQuality = Browser.getDefaultSession();
invokeHighQuality.displayPage("URL goes here");
OR you can try this:
// CHAPI invocation
Invocation invoke = new Invocation(_data.getUrl(), null, BlackBerryContentHandler.ID_MEDIA_CONTENT_HANDLER, false,
null);
try {
Registry.getRegistry(YourAppClass.class.getName()).invoke(invoke);
} catch (Throwable t) {
}
