Android Question CursorIndex Out Of Bounds Exception

Alexander Stolte · Jan 2, 2017

Hello great community!,

I have errors by sending video files over WLAN.

Error Function:

B4X:

Sub GetPathFromContentResult(UriString As String) As String
  If UriString.StartsWith("/") Then Return UriString 'If the user used a file manager to choose the image
  Dim Cursor1 As Cursor
  Dim Uri1 As Uri
  Dim Proj() As String = Array As String("_data")
  Dim cr As ContentResolver
  cr.Initialize("")
  If UriString.StartsWith("content://com.android.providers.media.documents") Then
  Dim i As Int = UriString.IndexOf("%3A")
  Dim id As String = UriString.SubString(i + 3)
  Uri1.Parse("content://media/external/images/media")
  Cursor1 = cr.Query(Uri1, Proj, "_id = ?", Array As String(id), "")
  Else
  Uri1.Parse(UriString)
  Cursor1 = cr.Query(Uri1, Proj, "", Null, "")
  End If
  Cursor1.Position = 0
  Dim res As String
  res = Cursor1.GetString("_data")
  Cursor1.Close
  Return res
End Sub

Yes i Know "GetPathFromContentResult" is not the best.

and here is the error line:

B4X:

 res = Cursor1.GetString("_data")

And the last but not the least, the full error log:

Thanks for helping me

And then to use the path then I need the: ContentResolver? If that then folds, then convert the file into bytes and then send to the other device, is the correct thinking of me?

Erel · Jan 5, 2017

No. Android hides the file system from the user.
The file path might be available or might not be available. The resource can come from a database or any other store.

As I wrote 5 times in this thread you don't need the file path at all.

Alexander Stolte · Jan 5, 2017

Can someone recommend a tutorial to send the files then with the Asynch to another device?

As I said, it is a new language for me, I am used to developing software and there is much different, I am still learning Even if I sometimes stupid instead of

Erel · Jan 5, 2017

What is the maximum file size? If the files are not too large then it is very simple. Otherwise it will require an additional step.
(I think that it is better to remove the OOKLA SPEEDTEST from your signature. It adds too much clutter)

Alexander Stolte · Jan 5, 2017

Can get bigger files already.

Disorder where?

Erel · Jan 5, 2017

What is the maximum file size? 1mb? 10mb? 10gb? 10tb?

Alexander Stolte said:

In the thread. The image is distracting when it apears in every post.

Alexander Stolte · Jan 5, 2017

5 GB.

Ok, i will remove it

Erel · Jan 5, 2017

In that case you need to copy it to a temporary file and then send it with AsyncStreams.WriteStream.

B4X:

Sub CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, FileName As String)
If Success Then
  Dim f As String = File.DirInternalCache
  File.Copy(Dir, FileName, f, "tmp")
  AStream.WriteStream(File.OpenInput(f, "tmp"), File.Size(f, "tmp"))
  'make sure not to overwrite the file until the file was sent. The other device should send a message after it receives all data.
End If
End Sub

Thanks a lot Nice Support!

Alexander Stolte · Jan 6, 2017

Either I have a mistake or I can not get what I'm missing. I miss a library?

Erel said:
Sub CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, FileName As String)
If Success Then
Dim f As String = File.DirInternalCache
File.Copy(Dir, FileName, f, "tmp")
AStream.WriteString(File.OpenInput(f, "tmp"), File.Size(f, "tmp"))
'make sure not to overwrite the file until the file was sent. The other device should send a message after it receives all data.
End If
End Sub

Unknown member: writestring

I have looked at the tutorial which you have recommended to me, but do not find the error.

My RandomAccessFile is the Version: 2.20

Erel · Jan 6, 2017

My mistake. I means WriteStream.

Alexander Stolte · Jan 6, 2017

Hi all,

Is that possible to send pictures or videos from WhatsApp with this code? Because i have an error.

B4X:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: content:/com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A16464: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I have the upper code on my program tuned and adjusted so he looks:

B4X:

Sub CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, FileName As String)
    If Success Then
                CallSubDelayed3(Main2, "SendFile","",FileName)
    Else
        If LastException.IsInitialized Then ToastMessageShow(LastException.Message, True)
    End If
End Sub

B4X:

Public Sub SendFile(Dir As String, FileName As String)
'    Dim totalSizeForSending As Long = File.Size(Dir, FileName)
'    Dim In As InputStream = File.OpenInput(Dir, FileName)
'    countingStream.Initialize(In)
'    currentFile = FileName.SubString(FileName.LastIndexOf("/") + 1)
    Dim f As String = File.DirInternalCache
    File.Copy(Dir, FileName, f, "tmp")
    'astream.Write(currentFile.GetBytes("UTF8")) 'write the file name
    astream.WriteStream(File.OpenInput(f, "tmp"), File.Size(f, "tmp"))
    'astream.WriteStream(countingStream, totalSizeForSending)
    'lblFile = "Sending: " & currentFile
    timer1.Enabled = True
    SendingFile = True
    UpdateProgress
End Sub

And here comes the error.

B4X:

  File.Copy(Dir, FileName, f, "tmp")

,"",

why you are passing an empty string as dir?

Alexander Stolte · Jan 6, 2017

DonManfred said:
empty string as dir

This is a very good question, I think I did not know what's coming, so I left him empty.

DonManfred · Jan 6, 2017

Alexander Stolte said:

give the parameter you got. You got dir and then you discard it

B4X:

Sub CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, FileName As String)
    If Success Then
                CallSubDelayed3(Main2, "SendFile",Dir,FileName)
    Else
        If LastException.IsInitialized Then ToastMessageShow(LastException.Message, True)
    End If
End Sub

Try again

It works fine thanks

Need help with the received.

The send and receive folds well, only is the received file for example a picture with .jpg with the receiving client then no image more but an unknown file. How can I save the type of the file, so I can save it properly?

Erel · Jan 8, 2017

At this point it is better to start a new thread and explain how are you sending the file and which issue you encounter.
