I have been wanting to use Droidsense for about a week now but it does not work for me. The author seemed excited to fix it, but his fixes all involved me installing all of his other apps, which either required windows (im a linux user) and still didnt work for me on a windows computer.
I know other users are having similar problems based on market comments, so maybe we can find something in common with the failures and narrow it down.
If you have used Droidsense and gotten it to work (anything besides #4 authorization error) or if it fails, please tell me which and some info about your account.
Example, does your username contain all letters, all numbers, is it gmail etc. Does your password contain all numbers/letters, a mixture etc? Password / username length? Obviously dont give out actual email addresses or anything, just general info.
I have 8 letters, 3 numbers in my email, its a gmail.com address and my password was 7 letters and 2 numbers. I have since tried a password with al letters (8 lowercase letters) and it still did not work. I have tried wifi, edge, 3g and hspda and I have made sure I can connect to other ssl sites and programs (paypal, bank apps).
Also if you can think of some
thign else that would cause some to be able to login, but others not please chime in.
Hi Darkrift
I'm the developer of DroidSense.
I continue to search why it doesn't work for some accounts.
If you want to help me, I can send you a small "documentation" to help me to find the problem. Send me a private message with your email address and I'll send you this doc. Or send me an email via my email in the market.
It work for lot of people but I don't know why that doesn't work for someone like you.
Regards
Nicolas
Ho, I read your post to fast...
You are the guy who I sent the doc...
I wait to find another guy who have the problem and running windows to try to fix the problem.
If someone in this forum have login problem with DroidSense, please contact me to help me to fix that problem.
If you want to debug you need to do it properly, not just hit and miss guessing.
Grab a copy of ADB, there is compiled copies about for lin/win/mac if you can't find anything and run a 64bit ver of lin I can give you a copy that I built.
Using ADB you can run 'adb logcat' to get a dump of the system output and more importantly any exceptions that occur that aren't caught you can get a full dump. There is a lot more you can do with ADB, but that's a big start.
delta_foxtrot2 , you are right, the next Lite version I'll publish will be debuggable with informations in the logcat.
I'll try to publish the update this week.

Hi all,
I'm currently in the planning period for an application which will need access to different things containing internet access, read/write contacts, read/write SMS and so on.
The application should be extensible through plugins, so I decided to implement a scripting language.
Since I dont want to write my own engine, I decided to use BeanShell which gives one a scripting platform with Java style code.
The problem is, in these scripts you can import _any_ java class. Since I run the script from my application, they have the same permissions as defined in AndroidManifest.xml.
Now I need a way to guarantee the user that the plugin/script he loads doesn't execute bad code.
Ideas were some sort of certification (I sign every version of every script and only the signed scripts are executable, I sign a single person who can sign his/her scripts, everyone can sign everything and the user has to be shure to trust the person who signed something, person a trusts person b - the user trusts person a so the user trusts person b also [what is it called - assurance web?]). But this creates also problems, if I would sign everything in the worst case (actually the best case for my app ^^) I would have to sign a big amount of scripts and updates which would be crap.
On the other side I know the most "normal users" just click on OK if they see a message a la "It's signed by [person]. Do you trust him?" so this is also somehow crap.
Another idea I had is to implement a permission system a la android itself. So the scripts would have to say what permissions they need and I would have to make shure that they cannot execute something else.
Well, I don't now, I'm not really happy with anything of this. So I wanted to ask you people out there for your opinions about that and for new ideas
Thanks to you all
Sorry for bumping...
No one any idea, suggestion or opinion?
Experimental ways are also welcome
Here we go:
I use a number of Microsoft Access Databases for my work, and each one is intensely coded and designed and basically run like actual programs. What I am looking for is to be able to take these databases with me. Now understanding that Microsoft and Android are two completely different beasts, what I really am looking for is the ability to take the tables (I use all Back-end database so all my tables are in a completely separate file then all my forms, queries, and reports) and the data with me and be able to run them in a program on Android that keeps the relationships and fields and all of that sort of stuff.
Now what would be great is the ability to use forms (even if special forms for android need to be made), run queries, and even be able to run reports and print as PDFs.
now I know how to code in VBA, hence the extensive coding I have done in Access, so anybody willing to WORK WITH in creating an Android Program to basically be an extension of Microsoft Access please contact me. Please not I use the words WORK WITH loosely, while I am trying to learn how to Program for Android, I currently do not have a computer that I can use to develop programs for android on, and well I would be only able to create the "Hello World" starter program and this project seems a slight bit more complicated. But what I can bring to the table is real world experience in testing and using the program day in and day out, a number of already existing Microsoft Access Databases ranging from Complex to Simple that I use every day. Really a program that can run Microsoft Access Tables on Android would be really useful to me and I am willing to do anything to help make this happen.

I think we must have the same job
Android utilizes an sqlite database engine and it looks like sqlite already offers a conversion utility HERE. The real question would be how to get the data in and out of the phone. Regarding forms, they definitely would need to be custom built.
Thanks this is deffenetly a start, From what I can tell this This Looks to be the most promising, It looks like all you would have to do is put a MS Access Database file on your SD CARD and have a program access it. That way you copy it back and forth. Unfortunately it doesn't support Access 2003, but I can save down. I also got a lot of learning to do in programing Java programs.
Forms would be as simply as making a program, this is great thanks much

I would like to say, "yes, please!" to this idea. I currently use Smart List to Go (the descendant of ThinkDB) on my Palm TX. The TX is dying, and I've been shopping for a replacement. HanDBase exists for the iPhone, but I don't want an iPhone. So I've been focused on WinMo - not by choice as much as by necessity.
And android option would be very welcome around my computers.

Exactly and we're talking about creating an app that would enable manipulation of an sqlite database. Essentially all that would be needed would be to create a ui framework wrapper for the existing api in android. Not the least monumental task I've heard of an individual taking on but not the most either.
The versions of pocket office that I've seen for android do not currently support Access databases as far as I'm aware. If I'm wrong could you post a link and save everyone some trouble?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Jackcess library is now patched to support android (will be in 1.2.2 release). Also seems to support 2000, 2003 and 2007 formats now.
Works great for me.
View jackcess site. Couldn't find anything on support for android. I'm using htc desire and would really like to find program to view ms access file. Can you tell me how you do it?
As I remember reading worked as on PC, while writing had some problems.
This forum prevents me from linking directly, but if you click tracker/patches on Jackcess project, check Android Compatibility Fix - ID: 3101578
The changes are in trunk and will be in the 1.2.2 release. I've added some
notes which will eventually make it to the FAQ page on the website
detailing the compatibility steps:
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.broken
Nio=true"
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resour
cePath=res/raw/"
- Copy the *.txt, *.mdb, and *.accdb files from the
"com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/" directory in the Jackcess jar to the
"/res/raw" Android application directory.
- Before executing any Jackcess code, set the current Thread's context
classloader, e.g.
"Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(Database.class.getClassLoader())".

Until this version (1.2.2) is released you need to build lib yourself.
You also need commons-lang and commons-logging from apache commons.
Before you use Jackcess in Android code, you set
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(
getClass().getClassLoader());
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.brokenNio",
"true");
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resourcePath",
"res/raw/");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and copy those resource files to res/raw
Then you can work as on PC, for example open /sdcard/yourprogram/file.mdb
Jackcess has no GUI, it's a library to read/write access files.
Getting an Access file into Android
I keep a lot of information on a Psion Revo, which has just turned its face to the wall and is giving up the ghost, and have always backed the information up on to my pc as an Access file. It looks easier to get this into a format acceptable to Android by converting the Access .mbx file into an Excel .xls file. This can be searched readily by Column and Values. Maybe this deals with too simple a need for most enquirers to the forum, but if it helps somebody then so much the better.
hi all i have beenlooking for something the same for some time now and just the other day i came accross this site cellica.com
the android app is free and the desktop application has a 5 day trial period or its $50 to buy it works great the only thing you can not do is create a report from the phone
i have emailed support team and they said they will be adding it on in the future.
Any Updates???
I currently build and use databases in MS Access and was wondering if there are any updates on this topic now that Tablets are in use now. Looking to get the Motorola Xoom (2nd version) in the future, but would love to be able to use a program that I would be able to access my MS Access databases while "on-the-go".
Anyone? This would be huge (I believe), since we now have tablets.
Thanks a bunch,
~Kilch~
Access to MS Access by Android
Hi,
I'm also looking to get on-the-go access to my Access databases on my Android HTC Tattoo.
The file is on it, I just need a tool to access it in read-only / search mode, but judging from the previous comments, there doesn't seem to be an oversupply in applications.
The "convert to Excel format" may be OK for me. I want to use a 3 language Access DB (dictionary) on my phone, so I'll try the Excel solution.
It would be nice if we had an ACCESS reader though...

Panacea Database
I know XDA frowns upon excessively hawking your own products here, but I do seem to be directly answering more than one of the reply questions, it just happens that the answer is an application my company released.
The Panacea Database application can handle Access from Access 2000 to Access 2007. It has also worked so far on every Access 2010 database we've tested, and we've received no complaints in that department yet. We release updates from time to time as we improve its functionality and features, often guided in our priorities by user e-mail and market comments. Our next update will be focused on improving screen layout for a variety of Android devices - from small QVGA smartphones, to large WXGA tablets. After that we may move onto other functionality.
In the interest of fairness, I'll point out arafa1209's post. He mentions Celicca Database, which is the only other application that I know of that deals with Access databases on Android. It has features Panacea does not have (yet) - ability to work with forms, ability to create and modify databases, ability to connect to your PC etc. Like us, they also send out updates improving their app regularly. So you can compare the apps, and use which one fits your needs better (or use both). If anyone knows of any others they can post here as well, but these are the only two I know of currently.
Just tried Panacea. Although it is more basic and annoyingly doesn't remember the last files you'be opened necessitating finding the file each time you open the app I prefer it for the simple reason you don't have to convert the Access database to another format.

If you update the app, this should be fixed, the last version should have this feature.
Got the update last week. Certainly goes a long way to making it more user-friendly. Keep up the great work!
Since the last update it seems to be broken. Although it remembers the last database I cannot open a table within any database.
Edit: It appears the file was corrupted. Loaded a new file and all working again.
Any news in this topic.
I tried panacea Database, works fine. But not very effective. Searching data is a must for me however I didnt manage to find a search option. When I search for tables, it cant even locate the tables by names.
First of all: Hello world
I am a new and proud owner of the Nexus One Everything is just fine BUT one thing. Maybe we can sort that out..
My college uses WPA Enterprise 802.1X (TTLS+PAP) with a root certificate. Thats not the problem Android 2.1 supports it
I am able to connect, Nimbuzz and Opera Mini work, BUT none of the standard apps (Browser, Mail, News, Weather...)
I know I have to use a HTTP proxy, and I kinda think the standard apps are too dumb to do so ... (Thank you google: Issue 1273)
Is there any way to get atleast the Mail to work? I dont really get why Nimbuzz works, but shouldnt something like K9-Mail work too?
I was so worried that WPA Enterprise might not work that I totally forgot about the proxy
My Nexus one is not rooted!
Thanks in advance
Breece
Ps.: And I really dont get why the cellphone doesnt simply use the Mobile connection if WiFi doesnt work -_- That would be atleast somewhat acceptable...
How did you manage to install a root certificate on the Nexus? Apparently it just supports .p12 files, not .cer.
In the case I just have the public key, there is no way to create a .p12 file out of it. I'm lost here.
Our wireless here at work doesn't require a certificate as far as I can tell, but my N1 (2.1 or 2.2) won't ever connect to it, shows it as WEP
In Linux, I have wpa_supplicant set as:
eap=TTLS
phase2="auth=PAP"
But it just doesn't work

You can use openSSL to convert between certificate formats, if you're on windows I believe easySSL (ezSSL?) which comes with openVPN is an easy way to obtain a binary version.
Same issue here, how to get cert?
My company wifi is
eap=TTLS
phase2="auth=PAP"
and requires certificates to install. I've been googling the last 5 days and still haven't found an answer yet. Any one know how to convert .cer to .p12 for androids?
how did u instal the root cert?
Have a look here for troubleshooting: searchnetworking.techtarget.com.au/articles/41635-How-to-fix-Android-Wi-Fi-problems
It should be possible to install certificates under Settings/Security and Location(dunno the exakt term,it's all in German on my phone), if it's on your SD Card.
If however it fails, try realmb.com/droidCert
I think it's pretty much the same thing though.
//edit: somehow, it's something different...I couldn't really figure out what this is all about, 'gonna read more stuff next couple of weeks...
If you got another format, you can use this website sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html to convert your certificate. Or just google OpenSSL convert ...something like that.
I haven't tested it, so I can't say if it works in the end, but I might find out on Thursday...Or next semester because that's gonna be the last day for the next 10 weeks I'm gonna be at uni
Try the http/s thing out yourself, I can't post links, because I'm a new user-.-

Have you tried to use any of these tools for that?
It is indeed possible to encapsulate a public + private key within a .p12 (PKCS#12) format, but if you try to create a .p12 file out of a public only key (.cer file), it will keep asking you for the private key.
So, I have no clue on what to do next. Which private key should I use?? I don't have the private key, since it is another party certificate!! So asking for a private key in this case doesn't make sense at all.
AFAIK, PKCS#12 format is to encapsulate public + private keys only, and cannot hold a public only file. Or is this assumption wrong?
CyanogenMod supports WiFi proxy. It is one global setting (not per SSID).
Good Evening Guys,
A few quick questions for you this Wednesday evening; looking to make some customizations to my Windows Phone. I would like to alter the word "Goodbye" when the phone turns off to display alternative text.
Question 1: Is anyone familiar where these settings are stored in the root offhand?
Question 2: Can anyone confirm if this is simply text or a prerendered image?
Questin 2: Has anyone ever tried anything like this before?
Best Regards!
Device Type
Almost forgot:
Nokia 1020
OS:8.0.10521.155
Um... we can't even made the smallest of changes to the Lumia file system (outside of the user documents/media folders and the app folders) or registry. Trying to change system stuff like this is pretty out of the question.
Since you ask, though: to the best of my knowledge, nobody has found that even on the Samsung Ativ phones, for which we have most of a working "jailbreak".
The string that is displayed is probably pulled from a .MUI file.
Thanks for the feedback guys. If I make any headway, I will post back. Would love to have the device power down with "Will I dream?" from 2010 The Year We Made Contact.
That would indeed be cool. You've got an uphill battle, though. If it is, in fact, a .MUI file then it's probably signed (MUIs are technically DLLs, and although they are usually just loaded as resource files they can contain executable code so I expect Microsoft signs and enforces signature checks on them). Thus even if you get filesystem write access, it may not work.
A true custom ROM, where you could remove the signature check requirements, would probably work. That's no simple thing to ask for, though!
