Ribbit app is frustrating ( I think i am done with Treehouse)

I finally finished all three android apps but the one I thought I would be most proud of was the self destructing app, I have studied each video in the course twice before I started the application. So here is my problem after fully completing.

(1. I am able to take picture and videos and send them to a recipient but once it is received in the inbox the picture does not show, its a blank screen for ten seconds and it disappears (as it should) I can not find the reason why it is doing this I have searched through 30 pages in the forum to see if there is an answer (none) (2. When logging out of the application it crashes and freezes my phone(Samsung Galaxy S2/S4) then I get this error message (Unfortunately PicOne has stopped) Logcat doesn't thoroughly explains what could be wrong or point me into the direction of the problem I would love to more with this (i.e create a profile page and adding text messaging) but it seems the basics can not function correctly.

I am hoping someone could help me your time and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the code I am getting form Logcat:

Yes man, even I am facing similar issues with Ribbit and did you notice it is super slow? When I send the message it takes around 3-4 secs to actually send it.

Such slow applications can never get to the production level.

Hope someone replies.

Sorry you're having trouble! Let's take a look at your code to see what might be wrong. The error in logcat does give us an important hint near the bottom:

05-30 08:49:30.223: E/AndroidRuntime(5687): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
05-30 08:49:30.223: E/AndroidRuntime(5687):     at com.blacsocial.PicOne.EditFriendsActivity.onResume(EditFriendsActivity.java:48)

Can you paste in your code for EditFriendsActivity.java? Specifically let us know what line 48 is.

Hi Ben,

I am not facing this issue but performance issue, do you think Ribbit is slow in sending messages (maybe because of image compression) and updating inbox?

Hello Ben, Thank you for helping me with this issue

here is the code I have for line #48

    mFriendsRelation = mCurrentUser.getRelation(ParseConstants.KEY_FRIENDS_RELATION);

Thank you I really appreciate your assistance Charles

Sanat Tripathi, can you open a new thread to discuss performance? Let's separate these into two separate discussions. This one will focus on Charles' problem.

Charles, can you paste in the rest of your code? One of those key pieces is giving you a null value. Probably mCurrentUser. Let's check where mCurrentUser is set. You can also add a breakpoint at this line and use the debugger to run through your code. When it gets here you can check to see if mCurrentUser is set or not.

In my code, it is set on the line preceding the one you have shown:

mCurrentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();

Everything looks good here, but this code shouldn't be running when you log out. Can you paste your code for the logout button? Perhaps it is taking the user to EditFriendsActivity somehow?

For your other problem with the photo not showing, can you paste your layout code and Activity code for ViewImageActivity?

Okay! You are caught on an error I made myself. You need to add break; statements at the end of each case in your onOptionsItemSelected() method:

 switch(itemId) {
            case R.id.action_logout:
                ParseUser.logOut();
                navigateToLogin();
                break;
            case R.id.action_edit_friends:
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, EditFriendsActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
                break;
            case R.id.action_camera:
                AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
                builder.setItems(R.array.camera_choices, mDialogListener);
                AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
                dialog.show();
                break;
        }

Without break; then all the code will run, so after you navigateToLogin(), you also try to start the EditFriendsActivity. Sorry for the confusion!

If you run the debugger and add a breakpoint where you set imageUri, can you see if it's getting set properly? Perhaps it isn't being attached to the Intent correctly in InboxFragment?

Hello Ben,

Thank you so kindly for your help I really appreciate it. I have tried using the debugger and adding the breakpoint, but I am unsure of what I am looking for. After adding the break; in the code as you suggested logging out works fine its just sending and receiving the messages continue to freeze m devices

Sorry, to clarify: can you send messages? Based on your original question I thought you were just having trouble viewing the images.

No worries about the debugger - using it is an art form! Can you paste in the onListItemClick() method from your InboxFragment code next? I want to see how you're setting data for the Intent, like this:

    @Override
    public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

        ParseObject message = mMessages.get(position);
        String messageType = message.getString(ParseConstants.KEY_FILE_TYPE);
        ParseFile file = message.getParseFile(ParseConstants.KEY_FILE);
        Uri fileUri = Uri.parse(file.getUrl());

        if (messageType.equals(ParseConstants.TYPE_IMAGE)) {
            // view the image
            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), ViewImageActivity.class);
            intent.setData(fileUri);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
        ...

Hello Ben, Yes that is true I can not view the images in the inbox, once the recipient receives and opens it the images does not show. I tried running the debugger but I am not sure what I am looking for. I guess it is my programming skills LOL, here's the code Thanks again for your help.

    @Override
    public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

        ParseObject message = mMessages.get(position);
        String messageType = message.getString(ParseConstants.KEY_FILE_TYPE);
        ParseFile file = message.getParseFile(ParseConstants.KEY_FILE);
        Uri fileUri = Uri.parse(file.getUrl());

        if (messageType.equals(ParseConstants.TYPE_IMAGE)) {
            // view the image
            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), ViewImageActivity.class);
            intent.setData(fileUri);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
        else {
            // view the video
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, fileUri);
            intent.setDataAndType(fileUri, "video/*");
            startActivity(intent);
        }
        //Delete it
        List<String> ids = message.getList(ParseConstants.KEY_RECIPIENT_IDS);

        if(ids.size() == 1 ){
            //last recipient - delete the whole thing
            message.deleteInBackground();           
        }
        else{
            // remove the recipient and save
            ids.remove(ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId());

            ArrayList<String> idsToRemove = new ArrayList<String>();
            idsToRemove.add(ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId());

            message.removeAll(ParseConstants.KEY_RECIPIENT_IDS,idsToRemove );
            message.saveInBackground();

        }
    }
}

Okay, let's keep tracing through. We want to make sure that the fileUri variable has a value when you are attaching it to the Intent. Add the following Log statement to this section of code here and check the URI:

if (messageType.equals(ParseConstants.TYPE_IMAGE)) {
    // view the image
    Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), ViewImageActivity.class);
    Log.d("TEST", fileUri.toString()); // ADD THIS LINE
    intent.setData(fileUri);
    startActivity(intent);

Sorry for my late reply here. Notice the line that shows that fileUri is being set correctly:

06-16 14:57:23.675: D/TEST(18745): http://files.parsetfss.com/e01e3bec-63da-4343-aad0-e4a6d7e5bede/tfss-dd5c7bd2-ed88-4429-b898-5052ab58a21a-uploaded_file.png

If you copy that URL and paste it into the browser you can see your test image.

Next you need to see if you can get that same piece of data on the other side, in ViewImageActivity. Add a log statement like this:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_view_image);
        // Show the Up button in the action bar.
        setupActionBar();

        ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);

        Uri imageUri = getIntent().getData();
        Log.d("TEST", imageUri.toString();
        ...

This should log the same URI to the logcat. If so, then we've further isolated your problem.

I was having this same issue and I believe I have narrowed it down to the resolution of the image being sent. It seems Parse was sending the notification but not the actual image. I have tested lowering the resolution of the camera and the image is indeed being displayed in the activity with the lower resolution. I havent checked but maybe Parse has a different size limitation for images than it does for videos. I will do some more testing when I can.

It was interesting, but then the conversation stopped. :-(
