I have the following task chain, where I want to access the variable decoder in the last task, but created in a much earlier task.
create_task(file->OpenReadAsync()).then([](IRandomAccessStream^ inStream) {
return BitmapDecoder::CreateAsync(inStream);
}).then([localFolder](BitmapDecoder^ decoder) {
return localFolder->CreateFileAsync("map.png", CreationCollisionOption::ReplaceExisting);
}).then([](StorageFile^ outFile) {
return outFile->OpenAsync(FileAccessMode::ReadWrite);
}).then([](IRandomAccessStream^ outFileStream) {
return BitmapEncoder::CreateAsync(BitmapEncoder::PngEncoderId, outFileStream);
}).then([](BitmapEncoder^ encoder) {
BitmapPixelFormat pixelFormat = decoder->BitmapPixelFormat; // how do I make decoder available here?
// Do stuff that uses encoder & decoder
});
In the end I just assigned the variables I needed to variables local to the function that contained the task chain.

At 'urichecking2' log, I can see there is value. But in 'uriChecking' the uriList is null.
why the uriList.add not work??
private fun getPhotoList() {
val fileName = intent.getStringExtra("fileName")
Log.d("fileNameChecking", "$fileName")
val listRef = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().reference.child("image").child(fileName!!)
var tmpUrl:Uri = Uri.parse(fileName)
Log.d("firstTmpUri","$tmpUrl")
listRef.listAll()
.addOnSuccessListener { listResult ->
for (item in listResult.items) {
item.downloadUrl.addOnCompleteListener { task ->
if (task.isSuccessful) {
tmpUrl = task.result
Log.d("secondTmpUri","$tmpUrl")
Log.d("urichecking2","$task.result")
uriList.add(task.result)
} else {
}
}.addOnFailureListener {
// Uh-oh, an error occurred!
}
}
}
Log.d("thirdTmpUri","$tmpUrl")
Log.d("urichecking", "$uriList")
}
If I do this, the log is output in the order of first, third, and second, and the desired value is in second, but when third comes out, it returns to the value of first.
The listAll method (like most cloud APIs these days, including downloadUrl which you also use) is asynchronous, since it needs to make a call to the server - which may take time. This means the code executes in a different order than you may expect, which is easiest to see if you add some logging:
Log.d("Firebase","Before starting listAll")
listRef.listAll()
.addOnSuccessListener { listResult ->
Log.d("Firebase","Got listResult")
}
Log.d("Firebase","After starting listAll")
When you run this code it outputs:
Before starting listAll
After starting listAll
Got listResult
This is probably not the order you expected, but it perfectly explains why you can't see the list result. By the time your Log.d("urichecking", "$uriList") runs, none of the uriList.add(task.result) has been called yet.
The solution for this is always the same: any code that needs the list result, has to be inside the addOnCompleteListener callback, be called from there, or be otherwise synchronized.
So in its simplest way:
listRef.listAll()
.addOnSuccessListener { listResult ->
for (item in listResult.items) {
item.downloadUrl.addOnCompleteListener { task ->
if (task.isSuccessful) {
uriList.add(task.result)
Log.d("urichecking", "$uriList")
}
}
}
}
This is an incredibly common mistake to make if you're new to programming with asynchronous APIs, so I recommend checking out

How to get URL from Firebase Storage getDownloadURL
Can someone help me with logic of the firebase on success listener
Why does my function that calls an API or launches a coroutine return an empty or null value?
I have a question about handling deserialization exceptions in Spring Cloud Stream while processing batches (i.e. batch-mode: true).
Per the documentation here, https://docs.spring.io/spring-kafka/docs/2.5.12.RELEASE/reference/html/#error-handling-deserializer, (looking at the implementation of FailedFooProvider), it looks like this function should return a subclass of the original message.
Is the intent here that a list of both Foo's and BadFoo's will end up at the original #StreamListener method, and then it will be up to the code (i.e. me) to sort them out and handle separately? I suspect this is the case, as I've read that the automated DLQ sending isn't desirable for batch error handling, as it would resubmit the whole batch.
And if this is the case, what if there is more than one message type received by the app via different #StreamListener's, say Foo's and Bar's. What type should the value function return in that case? Below is the pseudo code to illustrate the second question?
#StreamListener
public void readFoos(List<Foo> foos) {
List<> badFoos = foos.stream()
.filter(f -> f instanceof BadFoo)
.map(f -> (BadFoo) f)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
// logic
}
#StreamListener
public void readBars(List<Bar> bars) {
// logic
}
// Updated to return Object and let apply() determine subclass
public class FailedFooProvider implements Function<FailedDeserializationInfo, Object> {
#Override
public Object apply(FailedDeserializationInfo info) {
if (info.getTopics().equals("foo-topic") {
return new BadFoo(info);
}
else if (info.getTopics().equals("bar-topic") {
return new BadBar(info);
}
}
}
Yes, the list will contain the function result for failed deserializations; the application needs to handle them.
The function needs to return the same type that would have been returned by a successful deserialization.
You can't use conditions with batch listeners. If the list has a mixture of Foos and Bars, they all go to the same listener.
I understand that in Kotlin there is no such thing as "Non-local variables" or "Global Variables" I am looking for a way to modify variables in another "Scope" in Kotlin by using the function below:
class Listres(){
var listsize = 0
fun gatherlistresult(){
var listallinfo = FirebaseStorage.getInstance()
.getReference()
.child("MainTimeline/")
.listAll()
listallinfo.addOnSuccessListener {
listResult -> listsize += listResult.items.size
}
}
}
the value of listsize is always 0 (logging the result from inside of the .addOnSuccessListener scope returns 8) so clearly the listsize variable isn't being modified. I have seen many different posts about this topic on other sites , but none fit my usecase.
I simply want to modify listsize inside of the .addOnSuccessListener callback
This method will always be returned 0 as the addOnSuccessListener() listener will be invoked after the method execution completed. The addOnSuccessListener() is a callback method for asynchronous operation and you will get the value if it gives success only.
You can get the value by changing the code as below:
class Demo {
fun registerListResult() {
var listallinfo = FirebaseStorage.getInstance()
.getReference()
.child("MainTimeline/")
.listAll()
listallinfo.addOnSuccessListener {
listResult -> listsize += listResult.items.size
processResult(listsize)
}
listallinfo.addOnFailureListener {
// Uh-oh, an error occurred!
}
}
fun processResult(listsize: Int) {
print(listResult+"") // you will get the 8 here as you said
}
}
What you're looking for is a way to bridge some asynchronous processing into a synchronous context. If possible it's usually better (in my opinion) to stick to one model (sync or async) throughout your code base.
That being said, sometimes these circumstances are out of our control. One approach I've used in similar situations involves introducing a BlockingQueue as a data pipe to transfer data from the async context to the sync context. In your case, that might look something like this:
class Demo {
var listSize = 0
fun registerListResult() {
val listAll = FirebaseStorage.getInstance()
.getReference()
.child("MainTimeline/")
.listAll()
val dataQueue = ArrayBlockingQueue<Int>(1)
listAll.addOnSuccessListener { dataQueue.put(it.items.size) }
listSize = dataQueue.take()
}
}
The key points are:
there is a blocking variant of the Queue interface that will be used to pipe data from the async context (listener) into the sync context (calling code)
data is put() on the queue within the OnSuccessListener
the calling code invokes the queue's take() method, which will cause that thread to block until a value is available
If that doesn't work for you, hopefully it will at least inspire some new thoughts!
I am sending a value via MyRepository.myConflatedChannel.offer(myvalue).
I then expect to receive it in collect { } or onEach { } blocks in my ViewModel. However, neither function is invoked. It is as if nothing is passed down the ConflatedBroadcastChannel.
Has anybody seen a similar problem?
Make sure you properly work with receiving values.
If you use the ConflatedBroadcastChannel, you can use either OpenSubscription to get a ReceiveChannel or you can represent it as flow (with asFlow).
Note that consume and consumeEach are terminal, they perform an action and then cancel the channel after the execution of the block. See this.
First case:
val receivingChannel = MyRepository.myConflatedChannel.openSubscription()
// then you can consume values using for example a for loop, e.g.:
launch {
for (value in receivingChannel) {
// do something
}
}
Second case:
val receivingFlow = MyRepository.myConflatedChannel.asFlow()
launch {
receivingFlow.collect {
// do something
}
}
Q (tldr;): How do I use the JavaScanner in android-lint to check if a particular function call with a specific string as a parameter has been surrounded by a try/catch block.
Details: I have completed the android-lint tutorials on the official site and have gone through the source of the existing lint-checks. However, I can't seem to grasp the workflow for this AST-based parsing of JavaScanner. What I'm trying to achieve is to catch a function that sets a specific property and surround it with a try/catch block. For example:
MyPropertySettings.set("SOME_PROPERTY", "SOME_VAL");
should not trigger the lint rule but:
MyPropertySettings.set("SOME_SENSITIVE_PROPERTY", "SOME_VAL");
should because it's not surrounded by a try/catch block with SetPropertyException. I don't want to introduce the try/catch to the function itself because it only throws the exception in extremely rare cases (and the internals of the function are based on some reflection mojo).
For this question, even a workflow/hint would be fine. If I can get the first few steps, I might be able to grasp it better.
Update:
After some more study, I have found that I need to set the set function above in getApplicableMethodNames() and then, somehow read the property of that function to decide if the check applies. That part should be easy.
Surrounding try/catch would be more difficult and I gather I would need to do some "flow analysis". How is the question now.
Well, along with the getApplicableMethodNames() method, you need to override the visitMethod() function. You will get the MethodInvocationNode. Just fetch the arguments passed in the invocation using the node.astArguments() function. This returns a list of arguments that you can iterate through using a StrictListAccessor. Check the arguments passed and if it matches your criterion, run a loop and keep calculating the parent node of the invocation node till a try node is found. If it is a try node, then you can get a list of catches using node.astCatches(). Scan the list and find the appropriate exception. If not found, then report.
You can code like this:
check if it is surrounded by try/catch:
#Override
public void visitMethod(JavaContext context, AstVisitor visitor, MethodInvocation node) {
// check the specified class that invoke the method
JavaParser.ResolvedMethod method = (JavaParser.ResolvedMethod) context.resolve(node);
JavaParser.ResolvedClass clzz = method.getContainingClass();
boolean isSubClass = false;
// sSupportSuperType = {"class name"};
for (int i = 0; i < sSupportSuperType.length; i++) {
if (clzz.isSubclassOf(sSupportSuperType[i], false)) {
isSubClass = true;
break;
}
}
if (!isSubClass) return;
// check if surrounded by try/catch
Node parent = node;
while (true) {
Try tryCatch = context.getParentOfType(parent, Try.class);
if (tryCatch == null) {
break;
} else {
for (Catch aCatch : tryCatch.astCatches()) {
TypeReference catchType = aCatch.astExceptionDeclaration().astTypeReference();
}
parent = tryCatch;
}
}
// get the arguments string
String str = node.astArguments().first().toString();
if (!str.startsWith("\"SOME_PROPERTY\"")) {
context.report(ISSUE, node, context.getLocation(node), "message");
}
}
before this you have to define the specific method by override:
#Override
public List<String> getApplicableMethodNames() {
return Collections.singletonList("set");
}
