Unknown device?

How do I connect my android studio app to a remote SQL database (xampp))?

D
Hello,

I am creating an app that finds a piece of username data after a click of a button.

So far I have:

>>Installed and configured xampp
>>Portforwarded my router
>>set up an online webserver
>>Used PHP to create a database and implement it into the webserver.

Php code index.php
Code: 
<?php
echo "<h1>Hello World</h1>";

$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$db = "testDatabase";                
$table = "myGuests";       

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);

if ($conn->connect_error) {
  die("Connection failed: <br>" . $conn->connect_error);
}
else {
    echo "Connected to MySQL successfully <br>";
}

$sql = "CREATE DATABASE $db";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "Database created successfully<br>";
} else {
  echo "Error creating database: <br>" . $conn->error;
}


$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $db);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
  die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

$sql = "CREATE TABLE $table (
                    id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                    usernameOut VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
                    passwordOut VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
                    reg_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
                    )";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "Table MyGuests created successfully<br>";
} else {
  echo "Error creating table: <br>" . $conn->error;
}

$sql = "INSERT INTO $table (usernameOut, passwordOut)
VALUES ('Admin', '1-password')";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "New record created successfully<br>";
} else {
  echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}

$sql = "SELECT id, usernameOut, passwordOut FROM MyGuests";
$result = $conn->query($sql); // $result will be an array

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
  while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
  }
} else {
  echo "0 results";
}

$sql = 'DROP DATABASE testDatabase';
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "Database deleted successfully<br>";
} else {
  echo "Error deleting database:<br> " . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();

echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa");
?>

I ran my public webpage and I know for sure the php code works and adds the data to the webserver. I am not sure how to make android studio grab the database information from the public website.

Any links or tutorials on how to do this would be appreciated, Thanks!

Anyone Ported Their Cell Number to Google Voice?

C
I'm considering porting my cell number to my Google Voice account to use the Google Voice Call Screener app. I have a few questions for other Google Voice user's that have done this.

1) I assume when you do so, your cell carrier automatically give you a new number when the port completes? Correct? (As this is basically the same as porting to another cell carrier and that's been my experience.)

2) Aside from the call screener and voicemail spam filter, I would guess that another big benefit of doing this is that whenever changing cell carriers, now you don't have to port your phone number any more! (Which sometimes is a hassle if you don't get your billing zip, or security code right)

3) I read that after porting if you forward the SMS messages to your cell number, when you reply in the phones SMS app (not Google Voice), your number shows up as your Google Voice number, not the number assigned to the cell phones SIM card. I didn't think that was possible as then you could never send texts coming from the carrier assigned phone number. So is this article correct or in error?

https://www.howtogeek.com/92075/how-to-port-your-phone-number-to-google-voice/
"You can, however, have Google Voice forward texts to your new number. When you reply to them using your regular messaging app, they will appear to come from your Google Voice number"

4) What's the reliability been like to pipe all your calls through Google Voice and forward to your carrier number? (I want to do this as I want to take advantage of some apps that screen/provide information about incoming phone calls that the Google voice can do.)

5) What no-answer/reject call number do you configure your phone to use? (This is where you type in some codes into your phones keypad so it doesn't foward to your cell carrier's voicemail) It seems like you can't use your ported number as then you would create a loop? Or does Google Voice recognize it's not the same caller calling again and that it's a decline/no answer?

Help Need help syncing Google Contacts to a Fire tablet

J
Hi all. I got my mom a new Fire HD 8 tablet and installed Google Play services on it, and all of that seems to be working fine.

However, she uses the default email program on the Fire tablet, which I have also set up with her email account, but when she tries to type in an email address, it does not autocomplete.

I downloaded the Contacts app on her phone and tablet, but they don't seem to sync with each other. The contacts are there on her phone, but the tablet gives an error message when I open the Contacts app, something like permissions for SMS need to be set, but they already are (and the tablet doesn't have SMS features anyway, does it?).

Anyone know what to do? I'd like her to have access to her phone address book on the new tablet.

Thanks!

Help 128GB of Storage full but no files?

J
Hi. My phone is telling me there is no space left in my Internal Storage but I've only used about 26GBs of storage. Every app I use tells me that my internal storage is full, but when I analyze it it can only find 26 gigabytes of information. There's 100GBs of data that I can't find anywhere. I know I don't have the entire internal storage full because the only things I have saved are those 26gigs. Cleaner and file explorer apps all show the 26 gigabytes of data I know I have but I can't find the other 100GBs anywhere. My analyzer only tells me I have 100GBs of "Other" but not where that is. I've used multiple different apps to try to find what is filling all this supposed storage but I can't find any files anywhere. I've checked the cache of Spotify and YouTube or other apps I use often and they are only a few hundred MBs. Any idea what's taking so much space on my phone?

Need advice about being hacked

L
I have several devices and had several Gmail and emails I've accumulated over time. This started when I noticed my account passwords slowly change. Then it went to weird things where my phone and computer both would not work. On separate services. Someone has gotten so deep into my accounts I lost complete control of my phone. They were changing passwords and 2 factor right after me. I got new internet cause atT basically said I was f$%*** , they were in my new account before I was. Same thing with my devices, brand new service , they made accounts that lock me out before I even used the phone. They're in my router when I put in my device access code it won't work. Then says "forgot password reset to default " which is weird after, but if I do the access code still doesn't work. Even plugged into my router via ethernet. There's constant searches fot things I did not look up. I'm receiving weird calls on one line and they're all from different employees or something sauing their name and agent number. Like random weird companies. I look into it and its a company that advertises. My menus are insane in my phone. Shit I've never seen. I think it started around when I began working from home for Amazon. They get into my Microsoft and Samsung accounts which i rarely even use and link the accounts. They try to link a my accounts to make them a work account on github or an enterprise? I seriously have no clue, I know only the snippets left behind yhat I find from them when they're sloppy. I rarely text, possibly 10times a month. My phone says I'm texting every minute of the day and repeats the same number over and over on the bill. Says I'm using 70% of the data on a plan where we have 7 lines. Att is useless. I need to know where to turn. Nothing is mine anymore its a complete and total invasion of privacy and I can't even complete the simplest tasks without password resets and changes. I have no reason to be targeted. Anyone please help im so desperate at this point

New App: Pen & Paper

tealapps
Hello,

I've just published my first Android app, which is a 'no frills' notes app, ie just open it and write with your finger.
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tealapps.paper)

I mainly wrote it because I couldn't find anything like it, and it's so simple even my technophobe mother can use it on her old phone. :)

Any feedback would be welcome. I had considered adding some more settings etc, but in the end I decided to leave it very simple.

Thanks,
Teal

PS: Maybe I should mention that it contains ads (might as well try) and currently only comes in English and German, so I only added the relevant countries for now.
