I made a desktop music application in adobe air.
I want to update the status of some IM clients running EG: Yahoo messenger,Gtalk,AIM,MSN etc.
with the current playing song.
I am not desktop developer.This is first time i am making something for desktop.
SO is there any way in any Programming language that i can make something which will change the Data (Status message) of a running IM client.
Please Just guide me through this problem .
Edit: I dont want to ask for username/password of users IMs accounts , so via API is not a solution in this case .
It will be like Person X running mine music application and also logged to various third party IM clients (YIM,Gtalk etc).
SO if he is playing a song in the music application , then mine app will update presence status message on the IM clients to " Listening to bla bla song ".
So it is like high-jacking/Hacking the data of the running third party IM client.
Have a look at libpurple, it might have the functionality you require.
There is also telepathy, but I think it is related to the former somehow (one uses the other or they do the same thing).
EDIT: for the recent edit: it looks to me like you want something like MSN Messenger displaying the currently playing track in Windows Media Player. This requires a plugin for the messaging client, no way around that.
Perhaps an easier way to get this done would be to develop a plugin for one of the numerous multi-platform IM clients such as GAIM or Trillian. This would let you target stuff across the board without undue effort . . .
I think your only option is to write a plugin for each chat client you want to target, which could take some time.
So let me suggest an alternative: Add last.fm audioscrobbler support to your application. You would simply send the Now Playing info to last.fm via the API (http://www.last.fm/api/submissions), and it will appear on the user's profile page. Most music players already support this method because it's a pretty popular service, and a lot of people link to their last.fm profiles on their blog/facebook/etc.

In Google Apps Script when you use the property: DocumentApp.getUi(), it gets the UI of the person who is using it. If you used DocumentApp.getUi().alert(), then it would send an alert to the person who is using the script. I am wondering if there is maybe a way to alert another person's UI in Google Apps Script and not the person who is using the script. Here is a sample of my code:
DocumentApp.getActiveDocument()
.removeViewer(userName.getResponseText())
.removeEditor(userName.getResponseText());
DocumentApp.getUi()
.alert("Your access is being removed.")
Now it would be wonderful and imagine all the possibilities if that were possible! Someone please help!
It is not possible to access the UI of any browser except the one which invoked the function. This is also why time driven triggers cannot display UI modals (they are executing nonlocally).
Please direct me the right way. I'm stuck with some documentation issue. Going to code a small service with Google HOME for everyone to add a new phrase and make a POST request or answer with specific "TEXT" (like IFTTT run with WEBHOOKS) (fe: "Hey Google switch my kitchen light" -> service will send POST request to my own HTTP server). I know that IFTTT works but - I would to code the target service for tiny cases with fast response.
I tried to understand all Google Assistant layers - but still no luck and didn't find the clear path.
What I learned are:
1. connect to Google Account using OAuth 2
2. .... save the phrase and action for that in my DB - it's ok and simple way
3. ...??? how to send and to where? in (json?) a specific format
4. receive the answer from google home to understand the right case and make my action.... (for example: turn on\off the kitchen light)
It should be not so hard as I can image.... anyway Please help :).
Appreciate your time and answers and have a nice day!
To learn about extending the Google Assistant, you should look into the documentation for Actions on Google: https://developers.google.com/actions/extending-the-assistant
Although it also seems like you want to use it for Smart Home: https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/
You can run the Smart Home sample if you want to see how it works: https://github.com/actions-on-google/actionssdk-smart-home-nodejs
I am now to coding so may be it's a there is obvious answer of this question. can we embed google hangout in out Spring/Hibernate web application for chatting? Or i have to start from beginning to develop a new one. I can make a simple application using spring,hibernate, jQuery,AJAX, Mysql but I want a standard one in which video call is also there and smileys . Please input your suggestions! Cheers !!
I just started using Chromecast SDK today and got bit confused with its APIs and samples given in the web.
What I am trying to do is to send some messages to the Chromecast so it will display them on the big screen. I am going to use Chrome API with HTML5/JS/CSS.
Most examples (https://github.com/pjjanak/chromecast-hello-world/blob/master/sender/index.html , http://nerdwin15.com/2013/10/chromecast-development-part-one-chrome-sender/) in the web uses new Cast.Api() in the sender and uses an Activity in doing so. But I could not find a reference to a Cast.Api in the Chrome API. Most Google references deal with Media and I am not sure whether I have to use them. So to sum up, following are the questions I have (Sorry! I did read the API and developer guide but I am still clueless).
Do I have to write a custom receiver to show text on TV screen. Can't I survive default receiver, chrome.cast.media.DEFAULT_MEDIA_RECEIVER_APP_ID
Is handling multimedia files different from displaying text on the Chromecast or can I set the mime type to text/html and send a text stream (doesn't work for me at the moment)
Are those examples on the web uses a deprecated way of sending data to chromecast?
Thanks in advance,
Ish
Ok I think I found the answer from following documents,
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/receiver_apps
https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-chrome/blob/master/chromehellotext.html
Will try them and let you all know!
Following example page is very useful for anyone who try writing chromecast apps
https://github.com/googlecast
I'm not sure how you fared, but here are some quick responses to your questions.
Yes, you have to write a custom receiver if you want to do anything other than sending images, audio, or video to the Chromecast. You can see a list of supported media Default Media Receiver here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media
Yes (see above), it requires a custom receiver, which will also require your own appId and I'm pretty sure a custom namespace.
To my knowledge, all of the examples up on https://github.com/googlecast should be relevant, but I am working on a few wrappers to try to simplify getting up and running with custom Chrome Sender and Receiver apps. You can check them out here: https://github.com/googlecast Let me know if those help, and if you have any feedback to share.
I hope you've already figured all this stuff out, but if not hopefully this is useful.
Im pretty new to struts2 and Ajax ,Actually i have a drop down menu in JSP lets say first.jsp, When user select a choice from dropdown menu,I am calling a function of Action class lets say Method1.In this method i am fetching some value from DB(lets say:a,b,c) and one value from java memory lets say d.Then I am forwarding to second.jsp and display all the parameters(a,b,c and d) in tabular format.
Now problem is that the parameter d is dynamic ,this is updating by some other application and if its change then I have to show it on JSP wihout any action.
One solution is I use in second.jsp , so after interval of 10 second again Mehod1 will call and it will fetch value(a,b,c) from db and updated value of d from java memory. and disply it to second.jsp.But in this case i am unnecessary retrieving value from db while my purpose is just to get value d from memory.This is working but this is causing my application to slower.
Can any body suggetst some other solution? or can i do it using ajax and how?
Any other advice? any help is appreciated.try to be more clear, i'm in lack of ideas in this problem, even it sounds like a classic :I have spend hours trying to play around with this but have got nowhere
Okay... What you're asking is a little fuzzy so let me rephrase:
You have a user (USER1) who opens a web page and sees some data.
You have a second user (USER2) (who may be an application) who is able set a value from time to time.
When USER2 updates that value you want USER1 to see it change in their open browser window?
If this is the case you need to understand basic ajax. For that get these demo applications working:
This example uses dojo and perhaps the S2 ajax tag lib I don't remember I prefer not to use ajax tags (as they are deprecated and prefer jquery for ajax):
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html
This example here shows a very similar application but using jquery, no tag library, upgraded to Spring 3, it still needs polish:

Now that you know how to get data via ajax, look at the request with firebug. You'll see that the request is just like a typical function call, the browser keeps waiting for the data to come back.
What you do is simply not return from the action until new data is provided. This is called long polling see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_%28programming%29#Ajax_with_long_polling
If you have not written a simple chat program, using just terminal windows I recommend you do so. Two windows per client (client-send, client-receive windows) and you'll need a server program. I remember hacking one together in a few hours using _Thinking In Java 2nd Edition (Later books took out the networking section if I remember correctly). Anyways between understanding client server interaction and long polling will let you get things working. It would be fun to extend the simple terminal based chat application to a S2 ajax chat application. Would make an awesome tutorial! PS: This is just an application of the producer/consumer problem (If you understand that then I guess you don't need to do the fun exercise).
The interfaces would look very pretty if the server was managed by spring. I know there must be nice servers already written but I am not familiar with any, but would love to hear of one.
