Hello, I am trying to develop an app on Android Studio to display the queue messages on the app. I have written the code below and it runs perfectly fine when I run it as java (using main) in Android Studio. But as soon as I run it as an app, it shows that the queueManager is null and throws me some errors. What could the problem be? Could it be that the MQ library is not made for Android Studio? The code below is called in the method onCreate.
public void init() {
int openOptions = CMQC.MQOO_INQUIRE | CMQC.MQOO_INPUT_AS_Q_DEF;
MQEnvironment.hostname = HOST;
MQEnvironment.channel = CHANNEL;
MQEnvironment.port = PORT;
MQEnvironment.properties.put(MQC.TRANSPORT_PROPERTY, MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES);
MQEnvironment.properties.put(CMQC.THREAD_AFFINITY_PROPERTY, new Boolean(true));
try {
queueManager = new MQQueueManager(QMGR);
System.out.println("Successfully connected to " + queueManager.getName());
defaultQueue = queueManager.accessQueue(QUEUE_NAME,openOptions);
System.out.println("Queue size: " + defaultQueue.getCurrentDepth());
} catch (MQException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(2);
}
finally {
try {
if (queueManager != null);
queueManager.disconnect();
} catch (MQException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
if (defaultQueue != null);
defaultQueue.close();
} catch (MQException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The errors I get are:

These are just some errors. There are a lot more... |

Did you upload the MQ jars (com.ibm.mq.allclient.jar) ?
Is it on the class path? and by the way your transport is all wrong. It needs to be MQ_CLIENT... (you are not running the mqserver on Android...)

It does look like your Android application is failing when the IBM MQ code gets into the environment part of an MQ call. I am not aware of the IBM MQ code being supported on Android.
<psuedo-vendor plug>
On a separate note, I did write an MQ application that does work on Android that you can download (for a $1) on the Google Play Store -> http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=75570
However, this Android application is not using any of the IBM MQ Java code. Just Java code that I wrote to resolve MQ options to their constant values.

(1) As I have posted here many times, do NOT use MQEnvironment class as it is not thread safe. Put the connection information into a Hashtable and pass the Hastable to the MQQueueManager class. See here for an example of what I'm talking about.
(2) Putting "System.exit(2);" in the middle of your code is bad form and that means the finally clause will not be called. Hence, the code will leave open the queue and connection to queue manager.
(3) In your finally clause, you have the "disconnect" and "close" backwards. You must close the queue before you disconnect from the queue manager.

Thank you all for the great answers!
No, @fjb_saper I deleted the library as it would not let me run the app and show me messages like "More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/ccsid_merged.map'" because some libraries are overlapping.
@tczielke, I will take a look at it.
@RogerLacroix, I have two versions in whichI use the hashtables in my alternative version. I just commented it out because I was testing it in different ways. |

Looks like a classpath or class loader problem. You still need to use transport MQ_CLIENT for Android... and should have used that too on your stand alone Java...
