I'm trying to create an MqttClient in Android, using an Android emulator (Nexus7) on ADT (Eclipse 3.8.0 on a Linux Fedora17. I found this question answered (Android MQTT unable to create client), but it failed to solve my problem.
I created an activity that allows the user to enter the directory where to store the presistence file, but there is no way to avoid catching the exception. I tried with "/mnt/sdcard/", "/mnt/", "/mnt/sdcard/tmp/" and similar.
Do I need to pay attention to particular settings in Android emulator on in Eclipse project? Are there any uses-permissions to be included in the application?
I looked at the various mqtt resources mentioned in the quoted answered question, but I couldn't manage to find an answer.
This is my code:
package com.storassa.android.mqttsample;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.MqttClient;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.MqttDefaultFilePersistence;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MqttSample extends Activity {
Button okButton = null;
AutoCompleteTextView inputTextView = null;
TextView errorTextView = null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_mqtt_sample);
okButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.okButton);
inputTextView = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.InputText);
errorTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.errorText);
okButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
String dir = inputTextView.getText().toString();
MqttDefaultFilePersistence mdfp = new MqttDefaultFilePersistence(
dir);
MqttClient client = new MqttClient("tcp://127.0.0.1:1833",
"0001", mdfp);
}
catch (Exception e) {
String errorText = "";
for (StackTraceElement error : e.getStackTrace())
errorText += error.toString() + "\n";
errorTextView.setText(errorText);
}
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_mqtt_sample, menu);
return true;
}
}
and this is the Stack:
