Hi! I got following error on kali linux when trying to build a java application.

Error:

Error:Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/4.4.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html

Solution:

The problem occurred with openjdk-8 version. Changed the java to openjdk-11 and the problem was resolved.

Cheers !

Fix Issue: Failed to install artifact : (Access is denied) while installing 3rd party jars with maven

Posted by Kulani Mahadewa on August 26, 2015
Posted in: Discuss Issues. Tagged: , , , . 2 Comments

To install a 3rd party jar with maven;

Command : mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> -DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging> -DgeneratePom=true

(Refer –> http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html for more info)

Errorful example:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=D:\AWorkspace\maven-multidex-sample -DgroupId=com.android.support -DartifactId=multidex -Dversion=20 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

0

Correct example:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=D:\AWorkspace\maven-multidex-sample\multidex.jar -DgroupId=com.android.support -DartifactId=multidex -Dversion=20 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

2

Problem was with -Dfile=<path-to-file>. The path-to-file needed to specify the jar as well not just the location.

Extend internal storage of android device with Link2SD (free) and Link2SD Plus

Hi ! 🙂 Getting memory full error is a common problem on low end internal storage devices. This guide explains a way to increase your internal storage using Link2SD app. I have used  galaxy GT-S5570 device with internal memory only 160MB.

Prerequisites:

Step 01: Install Link2SD

  • Download and install “Link2SD” application from Google play store.
  • device-2015-03-17-141945  device-2015-03-17-143247

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Set the file system for SD card 2nd partition at Link2SD

I guess you have partitioned your micro SD card by now according to the guide, so select the second partition as type “ext2” file system.

  • Open the application –> it will prompt to set the file system type. –> Set it as “ext2”

device-2015-03-17-143538 device-2015-03-17-143549

device-2015-03-17-143837

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Got to “Settings” of Link2SD and set auto-link enabled

  • device-2015-03-17-144058 device-2015-03-17-144137

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Check for “Storage Info” from Link2SD

  • You can see 3 partitions shown. Internal storage and the 2 partitions on the external SD card.

device-2015-03-17-144232

Step 5: Problem still persist?

  • Try installing an application like Facebook. It will say insufficient storage on device.

device-2015-03-17-151221

  • You can transfer already installed apps to the external SD card (except system apps) following Step 6 and free some space on the device.

Step  6:Create auto-link to SD on already installed apps

  • Select an application from “Link2SD” –> Click “Link to SD card” –> tick the link options. This will successfully create link to second partition of the external SD card (ext2).

device-2015-03-18-002529

  • device-2015-03-17-150501 device-2015-03-17-150606 device-2015-03-17-150623

 

  • device-2015-03-17-150631

 

Step 9: Upgrade to “Link2SD Plus” to enable “Link internal data” –> further release internal memory

  • Goto “Settings”–>”Auto Link Settings” –> the “Link internal data” option is disabled

device-2015-03-17-161627

  •  Upgrade to “Link2SD Plus”
  •   device-2015-03-17-161646device-2015-03-17-161657

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Result: 

  • “Link2SD Plus” is a license key for Link2SD which unlock new features including “Link internal data”. So keep both apps on the device. The existing “Link2SD” will open up as “Link2SD Plus”

device-2015-03-17-204927device-2015-03-17-231604

  • device-2015-03-17-205556
  • You will be able to move internal data to the external SD card.

Select the app from the Link2SD Plus and –> Select “Link to SD” –>check “Link internal data” the newly unlocked feature.

device-2015-03-17-205611 device-2015-03-17-205630 device-2015-03-17-205642

  • This will free up more internal storage on your device.

device-2015-03-17-142500 device-2015-03-18-003916

  • Check the “Storage Info” at “Link2SD”

device-2015-03-17-205707 device-2015-03-17-231457

Now you are capable of installing many apps by linking applications, cache files and internal data to 2nd partition of external SD card on galaxy GT-S5570 .

Work out to fix “Memory full” error on android device

Posted by Kulani Mahadewa on March 12, 2015

Hi ! 🙂 I have stated here some easy ways to move applications to external SD card, which came across to me while go-ogling.

*Note: Users with low internal memory devices won’t be able to fully overcome their memory issues. For instance devices with internal storage 160 MB.

device-2015-03-11-121659

Solution 1:

Using adb shell commands to change the default install location to external SD card.

Value 0 – indicate the phone internal storage.
Value 2 – indicate the external storage

1

Pre-requists:

Enable adb on your PC. Check the adb connection.
Command: adb devices
C:\Users\tharaka.m\Documents\Tharaka\sw\android-sdks-update-1\android-sdks-update\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
S5570a0e7777 device

Step 1. Connect your device in debug enabled mode to your PC.

Check the default installation location with

Command if (Android <4.0): adb shell pm getInstallLocation
Command if (Android 4.x) : adb shell pm get-install-location

Ex.
C:\Users\tharaka.m\Documents\Tharaka\sw\android-sdks-update-1\android-sdks-update\platform-tools>adb shell pm getInstall
Location
0[auto]

Step 2. Execute set-install command to set the default location to external (Value 2)

Command if (Android <4.0): adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
Command if (Android 4.x) : adb shell pm set-install-location 2

Ex.
C:\Users\tharaka.m\Documents\Tharaka\sw\android-sdks-update-1\android-sdks-update\platform-tools>adb shell pm setInstall
Location 2

Step 2. Execute the get install location and check whether it has changed to location 2 (external)
Ex.
C:\Users\tharaka.m\Documents\Tharaka\sw\android-sdks-update-1\android-sdks-update\platform-tools>adb shell pm getInstall
Location
2[external]

Outcome of Solution 1:

Now you will be able to move some applications to external SD card which were not able to do so initially. Ex. “Whatsapp”

device-2015-03-11-122555

Solution 2:

Using the Samsung dial code *#9900# you can free few MBs on your device.

When you dial *#9900# you will get a set of options as follows. Select the option “copy to SD Card”

Fix Issue: Problem updating the ADT plugin

Posted by Kulani Mahadewa on December 16, 2014

Once you have updated the Android SDK tools in Eclipse, as soon as possible you should update the ADT plugin.

Issue: When you check for updates if you are not getting any, then you can manually update the ADT.

Solution:

  1. Download the latest ADT bundle from the Android Developer official web site. (http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html)2
  2. @Eclipse: Goto –> Help –> Install New Software3
  3. Goto –> what is already installed?4
  4. Uninstall the items:
    •  Android DDMS,
    • Andoid Devlopment Tools
    • Android Hierarcy Viewer
    • Android native Development Tools,
    • Android Traceview,
    • Tracer for OpenGL ES
  5. Select “Add” –> add location to new ADT plugin archive.5
  6. Then it will load the new “Developer Tools”, for you to accept the terms and install.  🙂 6

Fix error: adb server is out of date. killing…

Posted by Kulani Mahadewa on December 16, 2014

Usually when we get “adb server not ACK ” error, what we do is

  1. Goto -> Task Manager -> End process of adb.exe
  2. Restart Eclipse

or else  otherwise

  1. use adb kill-server and adb start-server commands on adb shell
  2. Restart Eclipse

But this error is bit strange. 🙂

Issue: I started getting following error after updating Android SDK tools and ADT plugin.

adb server is out of date. killing…
ADB server didn’t ACK
* failed to start daemon *

Reason: I am using Genymotion virtual device for testing and it uses an older version with its default settings.

Solution:

  1. Start Genymotion -> Goto Settings
  2. Goto –> ADB  at menu
  3. Select “Use custom Android SDK tools”
  4. Give path to latest sdk tools
