Question

I am currently having problems in Eclipse, even though my Phidget RFID is attached the the device (emulator) does not, I have run it in normal Java classes that are not android related and it works. I have restarted a number of times.

Below is the log cat report:

Below is my code:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.phidgets.InterfaceKitPhidget;
import com.phidgets.Phidget;
import com.phidgets.PhidgetException;
import com.phidgets.RFIDPhidget;
import com.phidgets.event.TagGainEvent;
import com.phidgets.event.TagGainListener;


public class AddFood  extends Activity {
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    RFIDPhidget rfid;

    static String x ="NULL";
    int i = 0;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.addfood);
        final TextView mytext=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.widget96);


try
{

        com.phidgets.usb.Manager.Initialize(this);
        rfid = new RFIDPhidget();
        rfid.setAntennaOn(true);
        rfid.setLEDOn(true);

        //Begin the TagGained event, allowing for users to read the RFID values



        rfid.addTagGainListener(new TagGainListener()
        {

            public void tagGained(TagGainEvent oe)
            {


                Object y = (oe.getValue());
                x= y.toString();
            }
        });
        rfid.open(34235);


        long StartTime,RunTime;
        StartTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
        do{

            RunTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
            if (x.equals("NULL")) {

                //Continue waiting for input
                }
            else

            StartTime = 10000; //Overload the result so the loop ends
        }
        while (RunTime-StartTime<5000);

        rfid.close();
        com.phidgets.usb.
        Manager.Uninitialize();

}
catch(PhidgetException e)
{

    e.printStackTrace();
}

        Button mybutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button1);
        mybutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View view) {






        }


        });

}

}

and my Android Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="myFood.myFood"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
      <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" />
      <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="12" />
        <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".myFood"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
   <activity android:name=".AddFood" android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
</activity>
    </application>


</manifest> 

If anyone has any experience with PHIDGETS or anything like this all help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Using the Phidget WebService I changed the open() to open(IP,PORT). Worked perfectly.
