How to retrieve arrayList object through SOAP?

After retrieving data from the Server side through SOAP.....you can store it in the Vector collection and the store it in the Class Object property........!!!!!!!!

Declare the List variables for storing the array object


private  List<String>  downloadList= new ArrayList<String>();
private  List<String>  usenameAttr = new ArrayList<String>();
private  List<String>  imageList = new ArrayList<String>();
private  List<String>  purposeList = new ArrayList<String>();

then create the List of class type for storing the value

List<GVDownlaodObjectEntity>  downloadGVObjectList= new ArrayList<GVDownlaodObjectEntity>();

Where GVDownlaodObjectEntity is a class below.........


package com.ags.entity;

public class GVDownlaodObjectEntity {


private String info="";

private String gvThumbnail="";

private String gvTitle="";

private String gvUserName="";

public String getGvUserName() {
return gvUserName;
}

public void setGvUserName(String gvUserName) {
this.gvUserName = gvUserName;
}

public String getInfo() {
return info;
}

public void setInfo(String info) {
this.info = info;
}

public String getGvThumbnail() {
return gvThumbnail;
}

public void setGvThumbnail(String gvThumbnail) {
this.gvThumbnail = gvThumbnail;
}

public String getGvTitle() {
return gvTitle;
}

public void setGvTitle(String gvTitle) {
this.gvTitle = gvTitle;
}


}

then retrieves the response and see how to get the data and store it in property....




Vector result = (Vector)envelope.getResponse();
System.out.println("result:"+ result.get(0));

for(int i = 0; i < ((SoapObject) result.get(0)).getPropertyCount(); i++) {
String  gvdownloadObject =  ((SoapObject) result.get(0)).getProperty(i).toString();
int firstIndex =gvdownloadObject.indexOf("{");
String newListGVObject = gvdownloadObject.substring(firstIndex+1, gvdownloadObject.length()-1);
System.out.println("NewGVObject["+i+"]:"+gvdownloadObject);
StringTokenizer str= new StringTokenizer(newListGVObject,";");
GVDownlaodObjectEntity gVDownlaodObjectEntity = new GVDownlaodObjectEntity();
while (str.hasMoreTokens()) {
String token = str.nextToken().trim();
System.out.println("Token:"+token);
 
if(token.compareToIgnoreCase("") != 0){
String gvDownloadTokens=token.substring(0,token.indexOf('='));
System.out.println("ObjectTokens:"+gvDownloadTokens);
if(gvDownloadTokens.compareToIgnoreCase("UserName") == 0){
gVDownlaodObjectEntity.setGvUserName(token.substring(token.indexOf('=')+1,token.length()));
}else if(gvDownloadTokens.compareToIgnoreCase("GvInfo") == 0){
gVDownlaodObjectEntity.setInfo(token.substring(token.indexOf('=')+1,token.length()));
}else if(gvDownloadTokens.compareToIgnoreCase("GvThumb") == 0){
gVDownlaodObjectEntity.setGvThumbnail(token.substring(token.indexOf('=')+1,token.length()));
}else if(gvDownloadTokens.compareToIgnoreCase("Id") == 0)
gVDownlaodObjectEntity.setGvId(token.substring(token.indexOf('=')+1,token.length()));
else if(gvDownloadTokens.compareToIgnoreCase("GvTitle") == 0){
gVDownlaodObjectEntity.setGvTitle(token.substring(token.indexOf('=')+1,token.length()));

downloadList.add(gVDownlaodObjectEntity.getGvTitle());
purposeList.add(gVDownlaodObjectEntity.getInfo());
usenameAttr.add(gVDownlaodObjectEntity.getGvUserName());
imageList.add(gVDownlaodObjectEntity.getGvThumbnail());

}
}


}
if(gVDownlaodObjectEntity != null)
downloadGVObjectList.add(gVDownlaodObjectEntity);
System.out.println("downloadGVObjectList size:"+downloadGVObjectList.size()+"|"+downloadGVObjectList.get(i).getGvThumbnail());
}

totalRecords=Integer.parseInt(((SoapObject) result.get(1)).toString());
System.out.println("total count from server:"+totalRecords);

Android emulator: How to monitor network traffic?

There are two ways to capture network traffic directly from an Android emulator:

1. Copy and run an ARM-compatible tcpdump binary on the emulator, writing output to the SD card, perhaps (e.g. tcpdump -s0 -w /sdcard/emulator.cap).
2. Run emulator -tcpdump emulator.cap -avd my_avd to write all the emulator's traffic to a local file on your PC

In both cases you can then analyse the pcap file with tcpdump or Wireshark as normal.

try wireshark http://www.wireshark.org/

Capture network trace in Android devices ?

After finding a bug, the next step for a tester is to find whose fault is it ? 

Normally a software interacts a lot with servers. It is then quite useful to capture the network exchanges between the software and the servers to find what is really happening behind the user interface. For Android devices, we can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB), tcpdump-arm and wireshark to analyse network packages. First, you need to have Wireshark and ADB installed in your computer (here’s a bit oftutorial). Then, I’ll briefly explain how to use tcpdump-arm in your Android devices to capture a network trace during use case scenario.

1.    Download tcpdump-arm from here

2.    Open command-promt where your ADB tools located. Put your tcpdump-arminto /data/local in your Android device through this command :

adb remount

adb push tcpdump-arm /data/local

3.    Go inside Android devices through this command :

adb shell
cd data/local

4.    Give tcpdump-arm execute permission.

chmod 777 tcpdump-arm

5.    We need to define in which interface we want to listen to the packages. If you run the command below, you’ll see the list of interfaces registered on your device. Normally we find three interfaces: svnet0, pdp0, and l0.

./tcpdump-arm -D

6.    Since I want to capture packets coming from data network, I choose to listen to interface: pdp0. (Still remember the famous Packet Data Protocol Context learnt at school  ). I specify also the output file in which I’d like it to be read through Wireshark later on.

./tcpdump-arm -i pdp0 -w capture.pcap

7.    FYI, the option of pdp0 is available when you use the firmware Gingerbread for Samsung Galaxy 2. When you use Ice Scream Sandwich, there’ll be only two options offered: svnet0 and l0. You can either listening to svnet0, but sometimes I also try with option -s 0 to make it capture the full packets and later on I filter what I want in wireshark.

./tcpdump-arm -s 0 -w capture.pcap

8.    After finish the test, run Ctrl+C to stop the capture. Move the output filecapture.pcap from the device into your computer and open it in Wireshark. Here you can do whatever filter you want to find your exchange package.

adb pull data/local/capture.pcap

These tricks have helped me a lot to prevent myself from blaming the developpers for some faults since it’s proved that the bug comes from another source  . Have fun!

How to send request through SOAP?

Just put the Soap.jar file in the lib folder of your application..........

public static String getResponse(String namespace, String url, String soapAction, String methodName, String requestString,Context context) {
String response = null;

SoapObject request = new SoapObject(namespace, methodName);
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.dotNet = true;
  //you can add multiple parameters with the help of addProperty
request.addProperty("xmlString", requestString);
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(url);
androidHttpTransport.debug = true;

try {
Log.e("Sending Request", requestString);
androidHttpTransport.call(soapAction, envelope);
Object soapResponse = envelope.getResponse();


if(soapResponse!=null){
response = soapResponse.toString();}
else{
response="";}

Log.e("Getting Response", response);

} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

return response;
}
