Good day, I have good and bad news.
Firts, Clement thanks, exactly it is need to add in the manifest file the
line:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
But, it is not enough if you are proving in a emulator. In this case, you
need emulate an sdcard because if you don't make this you will not have
permissions in the sdcard. So, if someday you have this problem, you must
write in console in sdk path/tools:
mksdcard 64M mySDCard (this creates the sdcard)
android create avd -n nombre -t 4 (this creates an emulator)
emulator -avd nombre -sdcard mySDCard (this launches the emulator with the
sdcard)
At this moment, you can create and push files in sdcard. Now, in my case is
important don't forget make the push collectionOfJarsFiles in this new
emulator with
adb push C:\EclipseDevelopment\ApacheFelix\Apache_felix_demo\bundle
/data/felix
Well, the bad news are that...now I can install a bundle but I think this is
wrong.
I put here the modified code provided by Bruce:
void launchFelix()
{
Log.d("Felix", "About to start Felix...");
// Create a configuration property map
String cacheDir = null;
try
{
cacheDir = File.createTempFile("skifta", ".tmp").getParent();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
Log.d("Felix", "unable to create temp file", e);
return;
}
Map configMap = new StringMap(false);
configMap.put("org.osgi.framework.storage", cacheDir);
configMap.put("felix.embedded.execution", "true");
configMap.put("org.osgi.service.http.port", "9990");
configMap.put("org.osgi.framework.startlevel.beginning", "5");
try
{
// Now create an instance of the framework with
// our configuration properties.
m_felix = new Felix(configMap);
// Now start Felix instance.
m_felix.start();
Log.d("Felix", "Felix is started");
BundleContext bc=m_felix.getBundleContext();
bc.installBundle("file:/data/felix/EnglishDictionary.jar");
for(org.osgi.framework.Bundle b :
m_felix.getBundleContext().getBundles())
{
b.start();
Log.d("Felix", "Bundle: " + b.getSymbolicName());
}
}
catch (Throwable ex)
{
Log.d("Felix","Could not create framework: " + ex.getMessage(),
ex);
}
}
Well, the install is it made without problems, program don't jumps to the
catch. So, I make install of the EnglishDictionary.jar. But, then, when I
iterate in the for, the b.start() is also made, but I think that I am doing
something wrong because b.getSymbolicName() "null".
So, what do you think?The bundle is installed?I installed a void bundle?I
made something wrong?
Salutations and thanks for everyone.
