Creating a re-usable API for creation / maintenance of Joomla accounts for use in Android App / Mobile Site development

I am using Joomla 1.5 and I am already aware of some of the difficulties associated with creating Joomla accounts from third party domains and scripts and authenticating with Joomla (logging in) from a third party domain / script.

My understanding is that the difficulty lies in the usage of a secret key to salt the MD5 hashed password for added security, and that this key resides in the configuration.php file.

That once Joomla 1.5 is installed, in configuration.php we already have a secret key in the form of:

var $secret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

Now assuming that we have access to the jos_users and jos_sessions table, is it not possible to create a simple PHP script (that given the Username, Password, MD5 hashed and salted using the secret key) that we could use to bypass Joomla completely and handle signup, login, logout and session data directly via the MySQL database without the need to touch the Joomla installation at all?

I would like to do this by creating an /api folder as a project and build on this platform.

I have much to learn I know, but I am hoping, logically, a reusable piece of code can be constructed.

If not,I understand that perhaps a simple plugin maybe needed to help facilitate these features using XML-RPC from within the Joomla Framework, however I would prefer to avoid this route.

Air Android GCM ANE MismatchSenderId when switching between air extensions

I'm trying to get Android GCM Push notifications to work in an AIR for Android project using Flash Builder.

I started off using Freshplanet's GCM ANE - https://github.com/freshplanet/ANE-Push-Notification.

I set it up with ease, and I receive notifications with no errors. But I couldn't seem to get the icons, sounds, vibration to work. So then I started looking for another ANE and discovered - http://myappsnippet.com/gcm/

I removed all of the Freshplanet code, setup everything the same exact way. Got a new registration ID and test it out using this php test script http://myflashlab.com/showcase/AIR_EXTENSIONS/GCM/

But I just get MismatchSenderId.

I've tried un-registering, completely uninstalling the app, then re-installing the app, then getting a new registration ID...and yet I still get MismatchSenderId.

I've even deleted my google project and got an entirely new GCM project ID and Server API key. I even tried with the Browser API key just for the heck of it. I have "Any IP allowed" and "Any referer allowed".

So after trying that a million times, I decided to uninstall and go back to the Freshplanet ANE and it works and sends just fine. No error. Maybe someone can think of something that's not getting properly cleared and how I might clear it? I don't understand why it would even matter to be honest.

I can't think of anything beyond un-installing the app and making a new Google API project...which didn't work at all. Maybe someone has experience with http://myappsnippet.com/gcm/ could share some insight? The dev just keeps saying it's on our end in the comments and assumes we dont have the right projectID or API key or we dont have Any IP allowed.

How to get variables from separate fragments using the same class

	In my Android app, I have an activity with 4 fragments. All the fragments have the same exact fields, so they are all inflated from the same xml file and have the same java class. However, I need to get the data stored in each of them because the user will be entering things in each one. So how would I be able to get the data if they all have the same class? asked 23 mins ago

instantiation of FragmentTransaction object not possble according to the compiler, Android

when I try to instantiate FragmentTransaction() I the the error message:

"can not instantiate the type FragmentTransaction"

in google Android reference it states:

Public Constructors

FragmentTransaction()

so if there is a constructor of FragmentTransaction() then it must be possible to do this,

 FragmentTransaction fragtransaction = new FragmentTransaction();

the question is WHY is this not possible?

android need scrollview inside a tablelayout to span over multiple columns

CHALLENGE!! ok so what i need is a row of components at the top, right below it is a scrollview with multiple rows, each row added dynamically with components that align with the components outside the scrollview. and right below the scrollview is another row of components that also align with the things above, or to say they're all in the same columns. Here's what i've tried so far: if i put the whole thing all in one tablelayout, the scrollview only takes up one column, so nothing outside of the scrollview aligns with whats inside it, and messing with the layout_width it will push the other columns outside the screen view which is no good, or just nothing aligns. i've tried putting a tablelayout inside the scrollview, but the columns of that tablelayout don't align with the columns of the tablelayout outside the scrollview. putting a linearLayout inside the scrollview doesn't help any of this either. my best hope is to put everything inside one tableLayout which is within the scrollView, and then set the top row and the bottom row so they don't scroll, is that possible? I can't find anything on how to do that. any other suggestions are appreciated. the reason for all this is because i need everything to align when the app is used on different sized screens and tablets, so i can't just position the components using dp and whatever. plz help!!

[Q] SGS2: Internal sdcard is not mounted after upgrade to 4.1.2

[Q] SGS2: Internal sdcard is not mounted after upgrade to 4.1.2

---

Hi,

Background story. It's long, and I am supposed to be brief, but maybe the stages I have been through trying to solve this matter (due to mishaps in upgrade process perhaps?) - so I'm giving it in full. Sorry in advance. I will note that I have done tens of Google searches on this problem, and the common denominator between all my findings were bugs in Custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod etc - where they have fixed it later. But I did not use any custom ROM, only original Samsung ROMs (at least as advertised). My device in Odin mode still claims to have an original Samsung FW, so I am guessing that assertion is correct?

So here goes.

I have been using 4.0.3 for quite some time. Then Samsung released an OTA upgrade, which failed to me during the reboot phase. I had a hunch (really a hunch, no proof), that this is somehow related to the fact that my device is encrypted, a feature that I have enabled after it was first supported, when I upgraded from 2.3 to 4.0.3 (OTA...).

Long story short, I tried to decrypt the device using the same menu I used to encrypt it. You would think that this would work, right? Well, it didn't. Just like the install, it got stuck at the very beginning, rebooted again, and the system was back as before (no data lost).

Last night, I felt lucky (oh, I was wrong), and tried the Decrypt again, probably the 10th time I'm doing it. This time it got stuck differently, eventually rebooting and giving me the 'swipe to unlock' screen (instead of 'enter decryption key'...). I though 'cool, it unencrypted the device...'. Wrong. After the swipe, got a blank screen. After some time, when I realized the thing is simply stuck, I rebooted through the power button.

Then I got Samsung's S changing colors... forever. Waited hours to no avail.

So I said, OK, let's try to just upgrade to 4.1.2, as this is what I wanted to do in the first place... at first I downloaded the "latest firmware" as advised by sammobile.com/firmwares/#firmware - which was from "Taiwan" and flashed it in download mode with Odin 3.0.7, by clicking on "PDA", selecting the MD5 file, seeing the verification was a success, and clicking "Start". . That seemed to work, and passed the "stuck S" stage, however I got a request for some password... in Chinese... couldn't really understand what it means, so:

I downloaded the I9100XWLSJ, which I understood is the latest for a European country (so I assumed it will be in English), which also succeeded the same way, and now I could understand the question - it was asking for my decryption password. I did actually guess this what the Chinese said, but alas, my decryption password did NOT work. And so it didn't on the English version as well.

I gave up my data. Went into bootloader, and wipe/factory default. Restart. Welcome to Android 4.1.2.

All seems to work well (OK, couldn't test the camera...), except for... the SD Card! It simply refuses to mount it as "USB Storage", as has always been. I tinkered with it for many hours (and even rooted my device for the first time...), and this is what I can say:

* The SD card is seen by the system, as external. Even though the SGS2 does not have an external SD port (unless I'm blind?). With a file browser, I can browse to it, play files from it, etc.

* Android seems to insist on using the internal card for everything. Opening the gallery. Opening the Camera. etc. Thus all those features currently do not work for me. I am merely guessing here that this is the reason, because apps say things like "Turn off USB storage before using camera" - as if the mountpoint is busy. And also - like I said - previously it was "USB Storage", for the best of my memory...

* The SD card seems to be mounted on /mnt/extSdCard or /storage/extSdCard

* The mount point /storage/sdcard0 seems to exist, and is symlinked from /mnt/sdcard, FWIW

* The SD Card is 8GB, from an old Nokia N85 phone

* Formatting the SD Card from the SGS2 didn't have any noticeable effect.

* A different SD Card [32GB] from an SGS3 running 4.1.2 shows the same symptoms

* I checked out /system/etc/vold.fstab, and in there I can see that:

Code:

# internal sdcard
{
ums_sys_path = /sys/class/android_usb/f_mass_storage/lun0/file
secure_format = enable
discard = enable
supported_exfat = disable
}
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 11 /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 encryptable_nonremovable

# external sdcard
{
  ums_sys_path = /sys/class/android_usb/f_mass_storage/lun1/file
  android_secure_containers = enable
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/extSdCard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

Questions:

* Is my assumption correct, that this should be mounted as /storage/sdcard0? If not, and extSdCard is correct behavior, any suggestion why any app that needs the SD card says it does not exist, even though it's accessible to file explorers?

* If it is correct, any idea WHY this is happening, or, a workaround?

Much obliged!

[Q] Question about a possible vulnerability

[Q] Question about a possible vulnerability

---

Hi

I make a POC to check a point.

I set a file on the internal sdcard and I write an Android application to read it WITHOUT any permission.

So, I saw it is possible to read any file on the sdcard without to ask a permission. And then it is possible to do that in hiding to the user.

For me it is a vulnerability to have the possiblity to scan the sdcard and to read any file without permission.

What do you think about that ?

My sd cards gone mad....

I was downloading a few videos and I suddenly realized afterwards that It said that I used up a lot of data, when I hadn't used nearly half. Suddenly,a lot of my photo's kb sizes increased....like a photo being 234kb became 68.8kb!
I tried deleting the photos, then reuploading their earlier smaller versions from facebook onto the phone,but it didn't change anything.
And its not all the photos that were doubled,just most of them. I deleted the videos, but it didn't change anything either. I also have this undeleteable 'drop box' photo in my gallery from last month. I've been thinking of formatting my crappy SD card,but I have a lot of data on it I want to save to my phone.now I can't even open my photos. Is there any way to fix this? Or an app that will copy my data, and restore it once I format my card?

How to disable calendar notifications for a specific account?

Hello,

I use my phone to with two calendar accounts, one google-account for private and one outlook exchange account for company. I want both to sync so that I can watch the calendar (that works). I want my private account to notify me of calendar events (that works). But I do NOT want my company account to notify me of calendar events, because there are so many meetings, that its like SPAM (and I am already reminded by my laptop at work).

So: Can I turn off the notifications for a specific account?

I already googled and I am afraid this is not possible. But maybe someone has an idea.
To clarify:
- no I do not want to change the notifications on the appointments, because I do want to be reminded at work
- no I do not want to disable the synchronisation for the company account, because I do want to be able to look at my calendar if I please

It is easily possible to disable the mail notification for the company account only, but it seems not to be possible for calendar notifications?

Thank you

Need to disable call out and SMS

For calls, you can accomplish what you're looking for by using Fixed Dialing Numbers (FDN). This is a whitelist of sorts that is stored on the SIM card itself. FDN restricts all outgoing calls to specified, pre-approved phone numbers/contacts, but has no effect on incoming calls or outgoing calls to emergency numbers. To set up FDN on most Android phones, go into the Dialer (Phone app) > Settings > Fixed Dialing Numbers. You'll need to set up a PIN in order to configure the settings.

Here's more information:

As for SMS restrictions, that isn't quite as simple. You can consider a third-party text messaging app from the Play Store; there may be one which allows for similar PIN or contact-based restrictions. Either way, you'll want to hide the stock messaging application by going into Settings > Apps > All > [Stock SMS App] > Disable. This will hide it from the homescreen and app drawer.

Though I don't know the details of your situation, and I don't presume to know what the best course of action for you is, I would be cautious with trying to disable calling/texting functionality altogether. Leaving emergency number support intact is always a good idea.

How to Eject my Samsung S3 from my Mac? It's connected to Android File Transfer?

Unplug it?

Don't mean to sound snarky or anything, but if it is not showing up in finder, the Mac does not even know the S3 is alive, so to say.

If there is no file transfer in progress, there should be no concern for corruption on the phone, so unplugging it should do it.

I have read that there are some hoops to jump through just to get the Macs to recognize Samsung devices lately anyways.

Probably a quiet protest from Apple due to litigation in progress.

Can you install Android Apps on your external MicroSD card? (Android noob here)

Google took the ability to store apps on the sd card out of android in their honeycomb os and has not looked back since.

There are ways around this, but they all pretty much require you to root the device at a minimum to "unlock" it.

From there it is just a matter of which way to accomplish it. There are some roms floating around that could restore the ability of app2sd functionality, as well as some tweaks that will swap the sd card with internal storage so you can utilize up to 64gb sd cards on most devices.

I do not have the links, but others here do. Quick searches may find them or someone may come along and post them for you.

There is also another site, xdadevelopers.com, that may be of some assistance as well.

Android Issue: My app invite request is sending a user to a dead page in Facebook

In Android mobile, my app invite request is sending a user to a dead page in Facebook. We don't have a canvas app page, rather we have a website that uses the Facebook login to resolve a page from the notification. Here's the issue: In Android, user is notified in two ways: (a) via notification jewel (Facebook's terminology), and (b) via an interstitial page that has nothing on it except ": sent you a request. (where "request" is a link). If the user pursues option B, and clicks on the App Name, it links to an App page (even though we do not have an App per se). If the user clicks on the requestor's name, it links to the requestor's respective FB page. If the user clicks on "request" link, it links to a page that "cannot be displayed or does not exist" in Facebook. <---this last part here is the issue. This does not happen in iOS, it only happens in Android. Does anyone know why the page associated with the link called "request" does not resolve?? Here is the URL by way of reference: Jeremy Thompson 9,65141646 asked 18 mins ago

I found this site https://code.google.com/p/androguard/source/browse/signatures/dbandroguard?r=c3470cea8dbcd385f43cb4a6aeff816e50a0bdc9&spec=svn1e64755cd5122b3b1f3b3e1cc96fdde8e163e42a that provides the .sign of an apk. What I need is to get the .apk format. But since they only give the .sign file I was thinking if there is anyway I could produce the apk given only the .sign file? I was thinking if there is an available tool to do this.

I do not know what the contents of the .sign file so I was just assuming. I need to get malicious or suspicious apk that's why I was brought to that site. If you could point me to other sites that provides malicious or suspicious apk, it will also be helpful. I really need this for my research. Please enlighten me. thanks!

Why is MediaPlayer calling IllegalStateException when I call release()?

I have an Activity in which there's a MediaPlayer that, after about 150 plays, puts up a system message saying "Video couldn't be played". A force restart of the app resets this problem for another 150 plays.

I'm assuming that this is a memory leak of some kind, though I'm entirely unclear as to what would be leaking, and also the simptoms don't align with how much memory Android allots my app. The video is about 3mb, so, if I'm leaking that much at every play the implication would be that my app has access to 450mb of memory which we know isn't true.

In any event, I'm trying to see if I can manually release the video somehow, but I'm getting an IllegalStateException when I call release on the MediaPlayer that is passed into my onComplete callback.

My code looks like this:

            VideoView vv = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.movie);
    Uri videoURI = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/raw/video_in" );
    vv.setVideoURI(videoURI);
    vv.start();
    vv.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {         
        @Override
        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
            Intent i = new Intent(getPackageName() + ".SCENE_2");               
            startActivity(i);
            mp.stop();
            mp.release();//here the exception is raised
            finish();
        }
    });

The documentation seems to imply that there's no state in which you can't call release on a MediaPlayer, so, I'm stumped. I'm in JellyBean, in case that makes any difference.

Get SMS delivery reports back after 4.1.2

Get SMS delivery reports back after 4.1.2

---

I found a solution to get SMS delivery reports working again after the 4.1.2 update.

Okay so with the most recent update Verizon made the switch from sending text messages over their 1x network and moved them to their LTE (and possibly 3g) network, hence the reason they are sending so much faster. Today I was in a classroom that is underground and has terrible reception and noticed that I was getting delivery reports again but that my texts were sending slower, like they used to. I dug around in the phones programing menu and found a new option call "MO SMS over IMS" and it was enabled. Disabling it switches your texts back onto the old 1x network. So if you choose to make the switch, your delivery reports will come back but sending will go back to being a little slower.

To get to this menu open up your dialer and type in ##7764726. Next hit send and when prompted with a password type in 000000 and hit verify. Scroll down to SMS/MMS settings and select it. Next scroll to the bottom, select "MO SMS over IMS", and disable it. Now your good! delivery reports back!

Alright. I started having bluetooth and wifi problems. Neither would turn on. I decided to do a factory reset. Well it all went down hill from there. I am stuck in a boot loop. It never gets to the boot animation. I can access adb and fastboot. I have ran two different RUUs. The OTA and Global. both have no effect. I have been s-off for a long time. Any suggestions??? I have no insurance.

I have a broken DNA too that can't detect sim card lol. I don't want to go back to my Droid Incredible! haha

How do you remove the "Welcome to Google+" and "Looking for more?" messages in Google+?

I've been quite Google Plus for quite a while (though not very active with it).

On my Nexus 4 when I launch the Google Plus app and go to All Circles. It has this "Welcome to Google+" post with a couple suggestions of people I should add. Then below that is a post from my circle. Then bellow that is a "Looking for more?" post from Google suggesting yet even more people I should add.

My problem is, I already added quite a few people to my Circles. I'm set. I don't want to keep seeing this "Welcome to Google+" and "Looking for more?" posts in my Google feed. It's distracting and I have to scroll past this every time just to see what I really came to see.

Is there no way to turn this Google spam off somehow?

Another thing I don't like is how it sorts posts. I'm not really sure how it determines to sort these posts, I just know it's not chronologically. It's confusing and I have old posts showing up and new posts buried.

I want to like Google Plus. But I use Twitter mostly and have a hard time trying to embrace they weird way Google does things with this app on Android. Perhaps someone can provide me some tips or feedback on what I'm missing here?
