CLLocation manager throws after ~30seconds - xamarin.ios

# first I thought it wasn't firing, but saw this
So I waited and now I get Unhandled Exception: MonoTouch.Foundation.You_Should_Not_Call_base_In_This_Method: Exception of type 'MonoTouch.Foundation.You_Should_Not_Call_base_In_This_Method' was thrown. in the failed handler.
I have defined a CLLocationManager, here is FinishedLaunching & CLLocationManagerDelegate
public override bool FinishedLaunching (UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
// If you have defined a view, add it here:
// window.AddSubview (navigationController.View);
_locationManager = new CLLocationManager();
_locationManager.Delegate = new LocationManagerDelegate(this);
_locationManager.StartUpdatingLocation();
window.MakeKeyAndVisible ();
return true;
}
private class LocationManagerDelegate : CLLocationManagerDelegate
{
private AppDelegate _appd;
public LocationManagerDelegate(AppDelegate appd)
{
_appd = appd;
Console.WriteLine("Delegate created");
}
public override void UpdatedLocation(CLLocationManager manager
, CLLocation newLocation, CLLocation oldLocation)
{
Console.WriteLine("Lat: " + newLocation.Coordinate.Latitude.ToString());
}
public override void Failed (CLLocationManager manager, NSError error)
{
//_appd.labelInfo.Text = "Failed to find location";
Console.WriteLine("Failed to find location");
base.Failed (manager, error);
}
}
I am using the latest monodevelop, monotouch, xcode and iphone SDK, just installed a coupla days ago. Any suggestions?

The exception is saying you should not call base.Failed in the overridden "Failed" method.

ViewModel property sort of fatal with VMDisconnectedException

EDIT 2: If you're looking for an answer to a similar problem, check Stuart's answer and my comments on it.
EDIT: I am actually getting a Mono.Debugger.Soft.VMDisconnectedException. I also recently installed Windows 8.1 and Resharper (though Resharper is suspended now).
When I access a very simple list property of my view model in my MVVMCross Xamarin iOS application, the program fails. It doesn't quit most of the time: it acts like it's running. The simulator has a black screen and there is no exception. If I breakpoint on if (messagesViewModel != null) source.ItemsSource = messagesViewModel.Messages; and then type messagesViewModel.Messages into the Immediate Window, everything stops, so I can tell it is failing at this line. If instead I "step over", it never moves to the next line.
I was having similar behavior when I was toggling this code in the MvxTableViewSource:
public override int RowsInSection(UITableView tableview, int section)
{
return 1;
}
My view model looks like this:
public class MessagesViewModel : MvxViewModel
{
private List<BaseMessage> _messages = null;
public List<BaseMessage> Messages
{
get
{
return _messages; //yes, I know I'm returning null
//I wasn't at first.
}
}
public MessagesViewModel()
{
}
}
This is my ViewDIdLoad on the MvxTableViewController:
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
var source = new MessagesTableViewSource(TableView);
//was binding here, removed it for debug purposes
//failure on second line here
var messagesViewModel = ViewModel as MessagesViewModel;
if (messagesViewModel != null) source.ItemsSource = messagesViewModel.Messages;
TableView.Source = source;
TableView.ReloadData();
}
Some initialization code:
public class App : MvxApplication
{
public App()
{
var appStart = new MvxAppStart<MessagesViewModel>();
Mvx.RegisterSingleton<IMvxAppStart>(appStart);
}
}
public partial class AppDelegate : MvxApplicationDelegate
{
//empty functions removed.
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
Window = new UIWindow(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds);
var presenter = new MvxTouchViewPresenter(this, Window);
var setup = new Setup(this, presenter);
setup.Initialize();
var startup = Mvx.Resolve<IMvxAppStart>();
startup.Start();
Window.MakeKeyAndVisible();
return true;
}
}
I suspect whatever the error is, it isn't in any of the code you have posted.
I just created a simple ViewModel:
public class FirstViewModel
: MvxViewModel
{
private List<string> _items = new List<string>() { "One", "Two", "Three"};
public List<string> Items
{
get { return _items; }
set { _items = value; RaisePropertyChanged(() => Items); }
}
}
And a simple View:
[Register("FirstView")]
public class FirstView : MvxTableViewController
{
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
// ios7 layout
if (RespondsToSelector(new Selector("edgesForExtendedLayout")))
EdgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None;
var firstViewModel = ViewModel as FirstViewModel;
var source = new MessagesTableViewSource(TableView);
source.ItemsSource = firstViewModel.Items;
TableView.Source = source;
}
public class MessagesTableViewSource : MvxTableViewSource
{
public MessagesTableViewSource(UITableView tableView) : base(tableView)
{
tableView.RegisterClassForCellReuse(typeof(MessagesCell), new NSString("MessagesCell"));
}
protected override UITableViewCell GetOrCreateCellFor(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath, object item)
{
return tableView.DequeueReusableCell("MessagesCell");
}
}
public class MessagesCell : MvxTableViewCell
{
public MessagesCell(IntPtr handle)
: base(handle)
{
var txt = new UILabel(new RectangleF(0, 0, 320, 44));
Add(txt);
this.DelayBind(() =>
{
this.CreateBinding(txt).Apply();
});
}
}
}
And this code runs fine...
I wouldn't completely trust the integration of Xamarin.iOS with the Immediate window - it is better now than it used to be, but I've seen several problems with it before.
Some things to possibly check:
does the above code work for you?
if it does, then what's in your BaseMessage and MessagesTableViewSource classes - perhaps they are causing the problem?
can you use Mvx.Trace("The list is {0}", messagesViewModel.Messages ?? "-null") to view the list? Can you use trace within the ViewModel property get - is it being called? Can you use trace within the ViewModel constructor?
are all your assemblies building against the same versions of things? Are all your assemblies definitely rebuilt? (Check "Build|Configuration Manager")- what version of Xamarin.iOS are you running in VS and in the Mac?

Debugging Package Manager Console Update-Database Seed Method

I wanted to debug the Seed() method in my Entity Framework database configuration class when I run Update-Database from the Package Manager Console but didn't know how to do it. I wanted to share the solution with others in case they have the same issue.
Here is similar question with a solution that works really well.
It does NOT require Thread.Sleep.
Just Launches the debugger using this code.
Clipped from the answer
if (!System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
The way I solved this was to open a new instance of Visual Studio and then open the same solution in this new instance of Visual Studio. I then attached the debugger in this new instance to the old instance (devenv.exe) while running the update-database command. This allowed me to debug the Seed method.
Just to make sure I didn't miss the breakpoint by not attaching in time I added a Thread.Sleep before the breakpoint.
I hope this helps someone.
If you need to get a specific variable's value, a quick hack is to throw an exception:
throw new Exception(variable);
A cleaner solution (I guess this requires EF 6) would IMHO be to call update-database from code:
var configuration = new DbMigrationsConfiguration<TContext>();
var databaseMigrator = new DbMigrator(configuration);
databaseMigrator.Update();
This allows you to debug the Seed method.
You may take this one step further and construct a unit test (or, more precisely, an integration test) that creates an empty test database, applies all EF migrations, runs the Seed method, and drops the test database again:
var configuration = new DbMigrationsConfiguration<TContext>();
Database.Delete("TestDatabaseNameOrConnectionString");
var databaseMigrator = new DbMigrator(configuration);
databaseMigrator.Update();
Database.Delete("TestDatabaseNameOrConnectionString");
But be careful not to run this against your development database!
I know this is an old question, but if all you want is messages, and you don't care to include references to WinForms in your project, I made some simple debug window where I can send Trace events.
For more serious and step-by-step debugging, I'll open another Visual Studio instance, but it's not necessary for simple stuff.
This is the whole code:
SeedApplicationContext.cs
using System;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Data.Persistence.Migrations.SeedDebug
{
public class SeedApplicationContext<T> : ApplicationContext
where T : DbContext
{
private class SeedTraceListener : TraceListener
{
private readonly SeedApplicationContext<T> _appContext;
public SeedTraceListener(SeedApplicationContext<T> appContext)
{
_appContext = appContext;
}
public override void Write(string message)
{
_appContext.WriteDebugText(message);
}
public override void WriteLine(string message)
{
_appContext.WriteDebugLine(message);
}
}
private Form _debugForm;
private TextBox _debugTextBox;
private TraceListener _traceListener;
private readonly Action<T> _seedAction;
private readonly T _dbcontext;
public Exception Exception { get; private set; }
public bool WaitBeforeExit { get; private set; }
public SeedApplicationContext(Action<T> seedAction, T dbcontext, bool waitBeforeExit = false)
{
_dbcontext = dbcontext;
_seedAction = seedAction;
WaitBeforeExit = waitBeforeExit;
_traceListener = new SeedTraceListener(this);
CreateDebugForm();
MainForm = _debugForm;
Trace.Listeners.Add(_traceListener);
}
private void CreateDebugForm()
{
var textbox = new TextBox {Multiline = true, Dock = DockStyle.Fill, ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both, WordWrap = false};
var form = new Form {Font = new Font(#"Lucida Console", 8), Text = "Seed Trace"};
form.Controls.Add(tb);
form.Shown += OnFormShown;
_debugForm = form;
_debugTextBox = textbox;
}
private void OnFormShown(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
WriteDebugLine("Initializing seed...");
try
{
_seedAction(_dbcontext);
if(!WaitBeforeExit)
_debugForm.Close();
else
WriteDebugLine("Finished seed. Close this window to continue");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Exception = e;
var einner = e;
while (einner != null)
{
WriteDebugLine(string.Format("[Exception {0}] {1}", einner.GetType(), einner.Message));
WriteDebugLine(einner.StackTrace);
einner = einner.InnerException;
if (einner != null)
WriteDebugLine("------- Inner Exception -------");
}
}
}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing && _traceListener != null)
{
Trace.Listeners.Remove(_traceListener);
_traceListener.Dispose();
_traceListener = null;
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
private void WriteDebugText(string message)
{
_debugTextBox.Text += message;
Application.DoEvents();
}
private void WriteDebugLine(string message)
{
WriteDebugText(message + Environment.NewLine);
}
}
}
And on your standard Configuration.cs
// ...
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Data.Persistence.Migrations.SeedDebug;
// ...
namespace Data.Persistence.Migrations
{
internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<MyContext>
{
public Configuration()
{
// Migrations configuration here
}
protected override void Seed(MyContext context)
{
// Create our application context which will host our debug window and message loop
var appContext = new SeedApplicationContext<MyContext>(SeedInternal, context, false);
Application.Run(appContext);
var e = appContext.Exception;
Application.Exit();
// Rethrow the exception to the package manager console
if (e != null)
throw e;
}
// Our original Seed method, now with Trace support!
private void SeedInternal(MyContext context)
{
// ...
Trace.WriteLine("I'm seeding!")
// ...
}
}
}
Uh Debugging is one thing but don't forget to call:
context.Update()
Also don't wrap in try catch without a good inner exceptions spill to the console.
https://coderwall.com/p/fbcyaw/debug-into-entity-framework-code-first
with catch (DbEntityValidationException ex)
I have 2 workarounds (without Debugger.Launch() since it doesn't work for me):
To print message in Package Manager Console use exception:
throw new Exception("Your message");
Another way is to print message in file by creating a cmd process:
// Logs to file {solution folder}\seed.log data from Seed method (for DEBUG only)
private void Log(string msg)
{
string echoCmd = $"/C echo {DateTime.Now} - {msg} >> seed.log";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd.exe", echoCmd);
}

javafx-2 applet doesn't update gui when called from javascript

I'm trying to invoke a method from javascript object which in turn calls a the following java method :
public void loadPicture(final String absolutePath) {
System.out.println("loadPicture " + absolutePath);
Image dbimage;
dbimage = new Image(absolutePath, 100.0d, 100.0d, false, false);
final ImageView dbImageView = new ImageView();
dbImageView.setImage(dbimage);
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
System.out.println("hbox children : "+hbox.getChildren().size());
hbox.getChildren().add(dbImageView);
System.out.println("hbox children : "+hbox.getChildren().size());
//test
//logger.debug(" aggiunto "+absolutePath);
DropPictures.getPicturesNames().add(absolutePath);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("eccezione :" + e.getLocalizedMessage());
}
}
});
}
In javascript the method invocation is :
var a = document.getElementById(myDivId);
a.loadPicture();
I've traced the execution and the above method doesn't throw any exception,but it is run cause i see the output in java console, but the applet doesn't show the picture.
I've used Platform.runLater to update the GUI in the javafx thread, still no update is performed.

How can I get this old Ninject 2 code to work with Ninject 3 and the MVC 2 extension (NinjectControllerFactory)?

In my MVC 2 project, I originally used Ninject 2 and wrote this version of the NinjectControllerFactory:
public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
private IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(new HandiGamerServices());
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
try
{
if (controllerType == null)
{
return base.GetControllerInstance(requestContext, controllerType);
// return null;
}
}
catch (HttpException ex)
{
if (ex.GetHttpCode() == 404)
{
IController errorController = kernel.Get<ErrorController>();
((ErrorController)errorController).InvokeHttp404(requestContext.HttpContext);
return errorController;
}
else
{
throw ex;
}
}
return (IController)kernel.Get(controllerType);
}
Of most importance is the retrieval of my ErrorController, which allows me to gracefully handle a multitude of HTTP errors.
The problem is that I upgraded to the MVC 2 extension via Nuget, so a NinjectControllerFactory is already provided. Would it be possible to use my own override of GetControllerInstance? If so, how?
I do exactly this, and for precisely the same reason. In Global.asax.cs, I add this to my OnApplicationStarted override (declared virtual in NinjectHttpApplication):
ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(
new MyControllerFactory(ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory()));
This means you're creating your own controller factory, but providing it with the default implementation to do the heavy lifting.
Then define your controller factory like so:
public class MyControllerFactory : IControllerFactory
{
private IControllerFactory defaultFactory;
public MyControllerFactory(IControllerFactory defaultFactory)
{
this.defaultFactory = defaultFactory;
}
public IController CreateController(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName)
{
try
{
var controller = defaultFactory.CreateController(requestContext, controllerName);
return controller;
}
catch (HttpException e)
{
// Pasted in your exception handling code here:
if (ex.GetHttpCode() == 404)
{
IController errorController = kernel.Get<ErrorController>();
((ErrorController)errorController).InvokeHttp404(requestContext.HttpContext);
return errorController;
}
else
{
throw ex;
}
}
}
public SessionStateBehavior GetControllerSessionBehavior(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName)
{
return defaultFactory.GetControllerSessionBehavior(requestContext, controllerName);
}
public void ReleaseController(IController controller)
{
defaultFactory.ReleaseController(controller);
}
}
As you can see, we're just using the default (Ninject) controller factory for most purposes unless it can't find the page. For obtaining the error controller, you can either pass in the kernel as you were already doing, or just call defaultFactory.CreateController using the error controller name.

NoClassDefFoundError in j2me

I have build a jar file and trying to use it in j2me application. I have included the jar in the build path and imported the required classes as well. But when I run my j2me application I am getting NoClassDefFound Error in the line where I am trying to instantiate the class which is present in the jar.
I can instantiate the classes of the jar in the java project but not in j2me.
Below is the error log:

Any help would be appreciated.
It specifies that class file present at compile time is not found at run time.Check for build time and run time classpaths .
Finally able to solve the issue.
The problem was not in the code. It was due to the compilation issue.
First of all To solve the NoClassDefFoundError , I had to right click on the project and in the build path-> order and export -> check the jar that you have added.
Later while running I faced classFormatError 56.
The jar file which was created, was compiled using 1.6v.
And the j2me application was getting compiled with 1.3v.
I had to recompile my library project with 1.3v and create a jar out of it and used it in the j2me application.
