fix: Crash in XY plot of Oscilloscope screen #2580

[Surajkumar5050]

Fixed issue - #2580

Fixes #2580

Changes

• Changes in fetchdata() method in ScienceLab.java class
• An additional check was added to ensure that the second byte of data is within bounds. This prevents errors when the list has an odd number of elements.
• An error message is logged if the index for accessing the second byte is out of bounds, improving the debugging process.
• The buffer assignment now occurs only if the data index is valid, preventing issues such as accessing invalid memory or creating incorrect buffer values.
• These updates make the code more robust, particularly when dealing with cases where the number of elements in the data set is odd, preventing crashes or incorrect data handling.

Checklist:

• No hard coding: I have used resources from strings.xml, dimens.xml and colors.xml without hard coding any value.
• No end of file edits: No modifications done at end of resource files strings.xml, dimens.xml or colors.xml.
• Code reformatting: I have reformatted code and fixed indentation in every file included in this pull request.
• No extra space: My code does not contain any extra lines or extra spaces than the ones that are necessary.

@Surajkumar5050 Thank you very much for your work on this issue!
Just had a look at the issue and your pull request. This issue isn't related to the amount of data that we fetch from the device but rather the index of the channel that we fetch.
Some general points about this:

1. This issue isn't related to the In-Built MIC. The app crashes irrespective of the state of the In-Built MIC.
2. We have a HashMap channelIndexMap, where we store the indices of the respective channels.
3. This issue arises due to a very small bug while accessing the channels from that map. We already increment the channel number by one in the map, i.e., CH1 is 1, CH2 is 2 and so on. However, in line 1309 and 1311 of OscilloscopeActivity.java(exactly where the log points to), we are incrementing the channel number once again, which leads to an index overflow. We remove those +1s and we are good to go.

I'll add all the necessary changes in a review to make it easy for you.

[AsCress]

That's everything for ScienceLab.java, we don't need any changes in here.
In order to fix the issue, you can make the required changes in OscilloscopeActivity.java, as mentioned above.

Some formatting issues there.
It'd be great if you could format your files after you finish work and before you commit them.
Just select the whole file (Ctrl+A) and then run reformat (Ctrl+Alt+L).

[AsCress]

Same for here. Formatting issues.

[AsCress]

We don't need this. We already have checks in place if the amount of data required isn't read properly from the PSLab device.

@Surajkumar5050 Still on this ?

I'm closing this as the target is native. We are currently working with flutter.
