Android Code Snippet Register User example using OkHttpUtils2

Register User example using OkHttpUtils2

Updates:
This project is deprecated. Please check User Login + MySQL PHP API https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/user-login-mysql-php-api.117826/

Introduction
This code snippet is based on the thread posted by KMatle in Tutorials & Examples. You can modify the layout and add in to your apps so that registered members can use your app by logging in using their user id and password.

How it works
This app starts by checking for connection by sending a request to the server and wait for a reply. The PHP script in the server will process the request and send back a JSON string. The screen will show "Connection success" if it is getting a response from the server.

Tap on the 'Register' button and the app will open up a new activity where information such as user id, password and email are required for the registration process. The data submitted will be stored in a MySQL database. An email will be sent to the user. If the user id or email is already registered before, a message will show "The user id '[YourUserID]' or email ([YourEmail]) is already in use". Open the email and click on the link to finish the registration process.

After successful register, you can press the 'Login' button to open up the Login activity. If you try to log in without activating your account at the first place, the app will show a message "Account is not activated!". Key in your user id and password and tap on the 'Login' button. If user id and password are incorrect, the app will show a message "Wrong User ID or Password!". If log in success, the app will show a message "Welcome, [YourFullName]" in a new activity showing a list of registered members in a listview.

This code snippet demonstrates of the usage of :
1. HttpUtils2 to connect to MySQL database located in a free hosting provider (using PHP web services and JSONParser)
2. Multiple Activity and Layout
3. SQL commands to Insert and Update records in MySQL database tables
4. Regular expression to check the email format
5. PHP Mail() function to send mail to the new member for activation and notify the administrator.
6. ListView for populating records stored in MySQL database table

Note that you can add more functions such as password hashing, retrieve forgotten password and using Captcha verification.

Version 1.1 (Update 07 July 2015)
- Rename a field in database table tbl_member from "status" to "reg_status"
- Added "(Online)" beside user name in listview
- Added a Log out button and signout.php
- Fixed signin.php showing 'null' user name

Version 1.2 (Update 10 Mar 2016)
- Retrieve Password
- Reset Password

Reupload PHP files (Update 19 Apr 2016)
Due to many confusion of register.php in a line of code somewhere in signup.php script, I have reuploaded PHP.zip in attachment. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Version 1.3 (Update 08 Feb 2019)
- Set targetSdkVersion=26
- Replaced HttpUtils2 with OkHttpUtils2
- Changed conflicting Job names with module names
- Added Change Password activity
- Removed Forgot Password activity
- Replaced MySQL functions in PHP script with MySQLi functions
- Added db.php in PHP script to store global variables

It's working now, I have switch to signup.php from first post.
Also, register.php is missing?

 

[aeric]

(Register) signup.php returns:
1. "Mail"
2. "MailInUse"

(Login) signin.php returns:
1. "Not Found"
2. "Not Activate"
3. User Name

Under Register module, it is unlikely to return "Not Found"

register.php is not used in this example. I use signup.php for register.

Yes, I have modified php, it's working now.
But how to get Online user info
It should be something in service module with timer, right ?

I am not sure how it is done correctly. My idea is the app will periodically create a job request to a php page to update a last_login field in the database then a php page will return a query based on the difference time between current time and the last_login time. Normally Discussion forum list the online user within 5 minutes.

Yes, from php it only count logins

$res = mysql_query("UPDATE tbl_member SET logins = logins + 1 WHERE user_id = '$uid'");
    print json_encode ($row["user_name"]);

online status remain N

Ya, I didn't implement the Online status. If you want to implement the Online status, I think it is not difficult to do it. As I mentioned, just update the value of last login in the table, in my table I have a time_stamp field which we can use for this purpose.

$res = mysql_query("UPDATE tbl_member SET logins = logins + 1, Online = 'Y', time_stamp = now() WHERE user_id = '$uid'");

Then at some point before the above line or by using another php script (maybe we can use connect.php), we can run a query to update all user status to Online = 'N' when Current Time - Time Stamp > 60 seconds.

$res = mysql_query("UPDATE tbl_member SET Online = 'N' WHERE now()-time_stamp > 60");

I dont think that will work, there is no logout.
If user exit app, it's stay's as online.

If user exit app, it's stay's as online.

To force logout, just add in a btnLogout button which create a job to logout. The php web service will execute an SQL which look like below:

$res = mysql_query("UPDATE tbl_member SET Online = 'N' WHERE user_id = '$uid'");

If a user exit the app without tapping on the btnLogout button, his status will updated to Online = 'N' when another user login after 60 seconds. You can set the value 60 to 1 seconds if you like.

You can test to access the address using web browser.

The free hosting server is facing DDOS attack. I suspect the scripts have been compromised or unable to run properly. Please upload the script to your server. Edit the domain name then test.

i use pay hosting, i change the signin.php update, then can login, but error " An error has occurred in sub:member_jobdone(java line:421) java.lang.NullPointerException
and Welcome :null , is it change Login.strUserName to strUserID? ?

After I changed the database password, the app can access the server now.
