[evaal contest] Questions about StepLogger

Fri Oct 2 18:54:17 CEST 2015

Hello Michele,

Thanks a lot for the reply. I have solve the problem following your instructions.

The problem is on the “it.cnr.isti.steplogger.config.ini” file I downloaded. That one has a different format to the one you sent me by email. The content in the file I previously used is “[Config]counter = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,test,end”. When I replace this file with what you sent to me, everything works well now.

What is interesting is that when I go back to the sofewre specifications website, and find the link for the INI file, the file is the correct one! So how did I download a wrong INI file? (I am sure I downloaded from somewhere at the competition website). This is interesting.

Thanks and best regards,
You

Dear You,

 I cannot understand your sentence: 

"I have added the StepLoggerClient into my project and now it work well on logging my navigation solutions into the positions.log file, this is good."

StepLoggerClient does not log any file at all , rather it is StepLogger that logs stuff. 

 I summarize some instructions: 

 to the purpose of EvAAL we released two Android-based applications:
 1) StepLogger: the GUI 
 2) StepLogger Client: a service generating fake positions. During EvAAL this application must be removed and replaced with you localization application acting as client for StepLogger.

In order to run StepLogger you have to copy the .ini file inside the Download directory of your mobile phone. After that, you can run the StepLogger following these instructions. Every time you press the blu button, Steplogger logs the file "buttonsPressed.log". If you run SteploggerClient you can start the fake localization system that generates fake positions. StepLoggerClient shows 2 buttons "Start Logging Position" and "Stop Logging Position". Clicking on "Start Logging Position" StepLogger now will log 2 files:
buttonsPressed.log 
 positions.log
If you want to use you own localization application (the one you will use at EvAAL):

install StepLogger
 (if installed) open StepLoggerClient and and click on "Stop Logging Position." In order to be 100% sure, you can also un-install StepLoggerClient Install your own localization application and run it open StepLogger, add the name of the competitor and press the first blue button explore the directory where Steplogger logs the files and double check that StepLogger logs the two files:
buttonsPressed.log 
 positions.log

Some notes:
 1) Be sure that your mobile phone runs : StepLoggerClient OR you localization application. I never tried having two clients for StepLogger running at the same time.
 2) From your email I understand that you run you localization application + StepLoggerClient + StepLogger
 3) Code you localization application so that it is possible to stop the localization system and hence it is possible to stop the invocations to the methods in the AIDL interface
 4) I tested StepLogger and StepLoggerClient with Nexus 4, Xiami MI2 and with Sony Xperia X2 as well as with Samsung Tablet (even if this last is not allowed at EvAAL since it is a tablet)

I attach to this email a simple INI file to copy inside the Download folder of your mobile phone. Again, check these instructions section 2.1

Let me know.

Dear Software Manager,

I am a competitor who will attend EvAAL at IPIN 2015 (track #1). Now I face a problem about the software:

I have added the StepLoggerClient into my project and now it work well on logging my navigation solutions into the positions.log file, this is good.

My problem is with theStepLogger APP. I can open it and set thecompetitor ID, then it comes to the blue GUI that have a “1” on it. At this time, if I click the screen, the screen will turn from blue to green and then the APP will crash.

I have tried several ways, like: 1) first run my project withStepLoggerClient, then run theStepLogger APP; 2) first run the SteoLoggerClient APP, then runtheStepLogger APP; 3) just runtheStepLogger APP, and 4) first runtheStepLogger APP, then run thethe SteoLoggerClient APP ormy project withStepLoggerClient. But everytime I met the same problem: theStepLoggerAPP will crash imediately when I click“1”.

I have tested two phones: one Xiaomi 4 and one Samsung Galaxy 4. They have the same problem.

So I am not sure whether if there is anything wrong in my opreation, or a bug in theStepLogger APP. Could you please check it for me? Thanks very much!

Best regards,
You
