android ftp upload has stopped error

Question

 class Asenkron extends AsyncTask<String,Integer,Long> 
    { 

        @Override
         protected Long doInBackground(String... aurl) 
        {
         FTPClient con=null; 
        try 
        { 
            con = new FTPClient(); 
            con.connect(aurl[0]); 

            if (con.login(aurl[1], aurl[2])) 
            { 
                con.enterLocalPassiveMode(); // important!
                 con.setFileType(http://FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE); 
                FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(aurl[3])); 
                boolean result = con.storeFile(aurl[3], in); 
                in.close(); 
                con.logout(); 
                con.disconnect();
             } 
        } 
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
        return null;
    }



    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {}
}

I AM USING THIS CLASS LIKE BELOW.THERE IS BUTTON AND WHENEVER I CLICK THE BUTTON IT SHOULD START FTP UPLOAD PROCESS IN BACKGROUND BUT I GET "PROGRAM HAS STOPPED UNFORTUNATELY" ERROR. Assume that The ftp address and username password pathfile sections are true and I get the internet and network permissions already by the way ...

    button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
    {
        public void onClick(View arg0) 
        {
            new Asenkron().execute("ftpaddress","username","pass","pathfileon telephone"); 
        }
   });

And here is the logcat for you to analyse the potential error and help me ...

By the way I changed the relevant code like that ;

instead of

catch (Exception e) 
  {
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  }

I replaced with this code

catch (Exception e) 
  {
     HATA=e.toString();
  }

And I added the code to button

textview1.setText(HATA);

So I can see the error on the textview and it is writing that "Android java.net.UnknownHostException: Host is unresolved"

But i know that the ftp server is correct and I check the ftp server from the AndFTP application. With the same address login and pass information ftp server is working.So the problem is in my code I think.Any help will be too much appreciated.Anyone who can help me I can give teamviewer to analyse what is the problem ...

Answer 1

You can get a hint of the problem from this line: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() . You're trying to execute a UI operation from a thread that is not the main thread. All UI changes should be executed from the main thread.

Comment out this line and it'll work:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Instead of showing the toast to notify the user of the exception, use a boolean to tell the Activity subclass(that calls the async task) that there had been an exception and show a toast accordingly.

EDIT- The Library you're using might not be able to do the job, so you can just shift to a new library, like the apache commons ftp . Refer this blog to see how to use it.

EDIT2- If in con.connect(aurl[0]); , aurl[0] already contains http://*** , you'll have to remove http:// because the ftp client appends it later (causing the unknown host). Also change this line con.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE); (remove the http:// part)

Answer 2

I cannot figure out but let's see my real code and evaluate ; My real code is like that

new Asenkron().execute("ftp://liseacy:gokgok81@ftp.drivehq.com/","liseacy","gokgok81","/mnt/extSdCard/MUZIK/VERIBAK.TXT");

and that ftp information correct because I can upload file with ANDftp application without any problem...

I also tried below code and it has not worked too

new Asenkron().execute("liseacy:gokgok81@ftp.drivehq.com/","liseacy","gokgok81","/mnt/extSdCard/MUZIK/VERIBAK.TXT");

and I tried this also not worked ;

new Asenkron().execute("ftp.drivehq.com/","liseacy","gokgok81","/mnt/extSdCard/MUZIK/VERIBAK.TXT");
