Android :: How Does BaseAdapter Communicate With Its ListView?

Sep 6, 2009

How does BaseAdapter communicate with its ListView? I was wondering how the BaseAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() method notifies the attached View that the underlying data has been changed and it should refresh itself? When creating a BaseAdapter you attach it to the View with.So the ListView then knows it's adapter to get list elements. But you never tell the BaseAdapter what ListView it is attached to. So when you call BaseAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() how does it reach the View to tell it to refresh itself?

Android :: Custom BaseAdapter - Dynamic Updates - Crash In ListView Layout

Feb 16, 2010

I'm trying to get my first Android app stable enough for the marketplace, and I've hit a brick wall with one exception that I don't understand. Probably I'm doing something stupid, but I can't tell what, and after several hours googling and experimenting, I thought I'd see if I can get some help. My Activity extends ListActivity, and the parts I think are most important are extracted below:

GroupedListAdapter is a simple class that extends BasedAdapter to provide headings for sections of the list (not unlike the Fancy ListView tutorials that are floating around).

I create this in onCreate, and it works fine. Inside onListItemClick, I do some actions which will create a different set of list contents. I "clear" the adapter, which empties the contents, and call reload, which repopulates it. Then I call notifyDataSetChanged.

Most often, this seems to work, but also fairly often, I get the exception following the code snippets below - this seems to indicate the ListView is not in sync with my changes. Lately this crash happens 100% of the time under the simulator.

CODE:.........................

Android :: For Google About BaseAdapter Class

Nov 19, 2009

For Google about BaseAdapter class

In Android 1.6 and 2.0 the BaseAdapter class has apparently been modified to throw an exception when it sees the Adapter.getCount() method return a number different than what it picked up when BaseAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() was called (at least I did not observe this behavior in pre 1.6).

So now the question is, when should one call notifyDataSetChanged() or more importantly, when can the count in the Adapter be safely changed?

Consider the case of an app with a background thread delivering data to a BaseAdapter at a rate faster than the ListView responds to notifyDataSetChanged(). Because notifyDataSetChanged() is a synchronous call and the ListView updates are taking place sometime in the indeterminate future on the UI thread, how can an app know when it is safe to change the adapter count?

If the app changes the count while the ListView is updating itself the exception will be thrown (and there is no way to catch the exception).

Is there a way to know when it is safe to change the count in the BaseAdapter?

Android : Can I Scroll Position In BaseAdapter?

Mar 9, 2010

I am using BaseAdapter for displaying the list. This list is fetched by calling a Web Service. At a time only 20 records are returned. Now, when the scroll of the BaseAdapter reaches the last record then the application should fetch more records from the server.

So, what I want to know is how to know the scroll position or some other way of knowing that the last record has been reached so fetch more records from the server. I don't want to implement the next and previous button on the screen.and so am trying to implement it in this manner.

Android :: BaseAdapter Doesn't Return Position Correctly?

Dec 17, 2009

I custom the BaseAdapter to show image array with full-screen mode. I want the user can flick the images so I use the gallery class.When a image displays on the screen, a correlative sentence should be showed as well. The issue is the position param in getView function jump abnormally, especially when I flick into more one picture at a time. Therefore the string is showed incorrectly, I don't know why the image still displays normally. Here is my code...

Android :: Default Number Of Views Constructed For A BaseAdapter?

Jun 26, 2009

I've tried to describe this problem a few times, but I'll try again.I have a thread (not spawned from the adapter) which updates items in a List that a BaseAdapter child uses to populate its view. I am not adding things in the List from the thread, just modifying content. In any case, I have 6 rows visible at first on the screen. The thread pulls data from the network and updates them in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 order. However, when 0 is updated, 5 mirrors its data on the screen briefly, then 1 is updated, 4 mirrors it, 3 is updated, then 4 is reloaded correctly, then 5, then 6. I am using the view holder/ convertView pattern correctly, as far as I can tell.How many views are created by default for an adapter? My guess is 3 based on what I see. Then, when getView() gets to index 4, 5, or 6, it correctly creates more Views and populates the right data. Anyone ever seen anything like this?

Android :: How To Communicate From Javascript Back To An App?

May 12, 2010

I'm loading up a webview with some locally generated html and javascript.It makes calls to app methods just fine.But what's the right way to get data from Javascript back to the application? It's simple to have javascript call app methods, but any parameters specified in the call on the javascript side don't survive the trip (I just get null in the app).Gross hacks seem obvious (open a url and encode the data in the url), but that can't be right.You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Android :: Communicate Which Button Pressed?

Sep 30, 2009

i have an app widget that has a couple of buttons on it, and in my onUpdate() call, I am hooking up the buttons to do something when you press them

RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName (), R.layout.appwidget); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button1, button1PendingIntent); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button2, button2PendingIntent);

The problem is that when I click on button2, it sends the button1 pending intent. i think that's because it's reusing the pending intent. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. "If the creating application later re-retrieves the same kind of PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action, data, categories, and components, and same flags), it will receive a PendingIntent representing the same token if that is still valid, and can thus call cancel() to remove it." So then the question is, how do I communicate which button was pressed?

Android :: Getting Service To Communicate With Activity?

Jun 25, 2010

I currently have a Service and an Activity in my application.I currently bind the Service to the activity without using AIDL as the Service and the Activity are in the same application.This allows me to call the methods from the Service within my Activity when I require them, however it doesn't let me call the methods of the Activity from within my Service when I want to.Can anyone comment on what would be the best way to achieve this?I could use Intents but is there an alternative option?I want to have tight communication between the Service and the Activity, I want to be able to call an Activity method from my Service when an event happens.

I now have it working the way I want, however I have come across a problem.My service gets status updates and my Activity is then supposed to react to the update sent on from the Service.The problem is that when I start my activity I get the Dialling Status and then Connected status before the onBind is called and I get the instance of iCallDialogActivity.

I need to be able to use my iCallDialogActivity when I get the Dialling and Connected Status notifications.But this gives me a NullPointer Exception due to it not being created in time when my Activity starts, binding is the first thing I do in my Activities onCreate().Is there a way to make it bind straight away?

Android :: Communicate Progress From Local Service

May 16, 2010

An application I'm building uses a local Service for downloading files from the web to the phone's SD card. In this app users can browse lists of books, and read them while online. A user can also download a pdf copy of a book for offline viewing. To handle downloads I'm using a locally bound Service. I do not want this Service to run all the time, only when downloading files. So that the Service can shut itself down when its tasks are complete, I am not binding to the service, rather I'm sending an "enqueue for download" command through the Intent passed to Context.startService.

Books available for download are shown in a list. A user can choose to download a book by clicking on its row in the list. On download, I need to show download progress using a ProgressBar on the actual book list row. I need to also show, on the rows, if a book is enqueued for download, or if its download has completed or failed. The books can be shown in different activities throughout the application--in search, or in the user's list of favorite books, for example. When the books are shown in different places, these are not the same objects, but they are uniquely identified by their bookId...............

Android :: Best Way For Service That Starts Activity To Communicate With It

Feb 16, 2010

I have a service that listens to a socket. When receiving certain input it is to create an activity. When receiving other input, it is to kill this activity. I have struggled for a while to make the service communicate with the activity through AIDL (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/aidl.html), but this seems to not be effective. I think AIDL is only effective when the process that is to be talked to is a service, not when it is an activity? I would love some directions or suggestions on how to solve my problem.
