Android :: Save The Contents Of An ArrayList?
Aug 26, 2010I want to save an ArrayList so that it is persistent. The contents can change. What is the best way of approaching this in android?

View 2 RepliesI created an application with loging and an arraylist to fill a ListView.
If i am calling or i need to check my mail, sometimes i lost the context of my application (variables and the listview !)
It is a little complex to save arraylist in SharedPreferences and i am not an expert in SQLite.
Do you know a solution to keep persistent my data (variables and the arraylist) during the use of my application?
How do I save the contents of an array to a file and then read it again later? I have a small amount of data that will need to be stored and since I have no idea where to start on using a SQLite database, I think this will work a lot better.

I have about 10 contacts that are Direct Dial (speed dial to the rest of the world). What I do is put them in a folder as a shortcut to prevent accidental dialing. But I have to constantly redo this set up. Is there a way to save a folder and it's contents, such as direct dial numbers, to my sd card and bring it back with each new ROM or launcher? Starred folder doesn't work for me as it's more clicking when I am driving. The app Direct Dial still takes several clicks.

public static ArrayList<HexButton> hexButtons = new ArrayList<HexButton>();
The application ran fine when I did

Is there a way to pass an Array List of objects between activities? The myObject implements Parcelable and I'm able to successfully pass the objects around individually, but that means I need to have an exact amount of "myObjects" coded. I want this to dynamically grow/shrink by what the user does with the app. I have seen some posts on the web about doing:
Activity A
ArrayList<myObject> myObjArray = new ArrayList<myObject>();
Then when passing this into the intent I would use:
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra("myObjArray", myObjArray);
Activity B
ArrayList<myObject> myObjArray = new ArrayList<myObject>();
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); myObjArray = extras.getParcelableArray("myObjArray");
However, the myObjArray always gets filled with "null". How can I achieve this?
I have an ArrayList<MyList> aList in an activity. I would like to send this data to another activty. Such that,
ArrayList<MyList> aList;
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(mainactivity.this, newActivity.class); intent.putExtra("MyList", aList ); startActivity(intent);
On the receiving activity,
Intent i = getIntent(); newList = (ArrayList<MyList>) i.getSerializableExtra("MyList");
But this gets me no where. ERROR! My intention is to share this List between activities.
Can any one tell me how to store and retrieve arraylist in/from sqlite.
ArrayList<Double> results = new ArrayList<Double>();
I was trying to serialize an ArrayList which contains custom objects. I'm serializing it in a Servlet (server side), and deserialize at the client side. (using ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream)
It worked fine, when I work with ArrayList<String>.
But when I tried it with ArrayList<MyObject> I couldn't get any results in the client side, this is the exception:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: web.MyObject
Of course I have done this:
public class MyObject implements Serializable { ... }
MyObject contains only String fields.
I want the contains() method from ArrayList to be case insensitive. Is there any way?

I am trying to add an object to an arraylist but when I view the results of the array list, it keeps adding the same object over and over to the arraylist. I was wondering what the correct way to implement this would be.
CODE:..............
I have double checked my JSONArray data and made sure they are not duplicates. It seems to keep adding the first object over and over.
I want to pass an Arraylist from one activity to another. I use putStringArrayListExtra(), but there shows an error : "The method putStringArrayListExtra(String,ArrayList is undefined for the type bundle." Is there any other method available for passing ArrayList?

I can see this kind of code which would be much easier implemented as an ArrayList :
1867 private void addInArray(View child, int index) { 1868 View[] children = mChildren;
1869 final int count = mChildrenCount;
1870 final int size = children.length;
1871 if (index == count) { 1872 if (size == count) { 1873 mChildren = new View[size + ARRAY_CAPACITY_INCREMENT];
1874 System.arraycopy(children, 0, mChildren, 0, size);
1875 children = mChildren;
1876 } 1877 children[mChildrenCount++] = child;
1878 } else if (index < count) { 1879 if (size == count) { 1880 mChildren = new View[size + ARRAY_CAPACITY_INCREMENT];
1881 System.arraycopy(children, 0, mChildren, 0, index);
1882 System.arraycopy(children, index, mChildren, index + 1, count - index);
1883 children = mChildren; 1884 } else { 1885 System.arraycopy(children, index, children, index + 1, count - index);
1886 } 1887 children[index] = child;
1888 mChildrenCount++;
1889 } else { 1890 throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("index=" + index + " count=" + count);
1891 } 1892 };
Today I met a problem, I need to pass a ArrayList<MyClass> from an activity to another. I dont know what the Intent exactly do when I use putExtra to pass in an ArrayList<MyClass> object. I guess MyClass need to implement Parcelable interface, so I just did it. But still, it does not work. Maybe I need to create a Bundle and then use Bundle's putParcelableArrayList method to put my ArrayList<MyClass> object in, and then pass this bundle as parameter of putExtra to the intent. So crazy! I am lazy, I just want to pass an ArrayList<MyClass> object simply, is there a simple way??
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to parse a web service response using SAXParser and get certain values, store them into an arraylist, then display them in a listview. Example XML being returned from web service:

SAXHandler SAXHandler = new SAXHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(SAXHandler);
xr.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));
ArrayList<String> stateList = SAXHandler.getList();
aa = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, stateList);
RESTlist.setAdapter(aa);
I keep getting an exception and I don't know why. Can anyone give me a hand?

I'm not very clear about the Intent object and how to use it to pass data between Activities. In my application I have several tabs between which I want to pass ArrayList. Here is a sample code I plan to use, but I'm missing the part where the main activity catches the Intent and passes it to the new activity on start :
1. myTabs.java ==> This is where I think I need to add some code to pass the data between TabOne and TabTwo. For now it is just using the sample code of the TabActivity sample.
CODE:...........
2. TabOne.java ==> I added a piece of code in the onStop procedure to fill in the Intent data with the array I want to pass to TabTwo. Not sure it is the right way to do though.

I am trying to use the following code to go through an ArrayList of LinearLayout objects, add each one to a TableLayout, and finally add that TableLayout to a ScrollView defined in the main.xml file.
ScrollView theScrollView = (ScrollView) findViewById (R.id.scroll_view); TableLayout theList = new TableLayout(this); ArrayList<LinearLayout> theArray = Edit.getTheArray();
if (theArray.size() > 0) { for (int i = 0; i < theArray.size(); i++) { theList.addView(theArray.get(i)); } theScrollView.addView(theList); }
A second activity (Edit) is used to convert user input into a new LinearLayout and put it in the ArrayList. The code works successfully on the first item in the Array, however, after adding a second LinearLayout to the ArrayList and returning to the main activity, I get a force close and the following error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.
I can't seem to figure out what is happening here. Is there another method I should be using to get my desired results?
If I create a new arraylist of size 5...
And then I try to add to the middle of that arraylist...orderedPlayers.add(2, P);
I get an indexoutofbounds...I also get indexoutofbounds if I use set instead of add...orderedPlayers.set(2, P);
In fact the only way I can add P to the arraylist is if I use the 0 index...orderedPlayers.add(0, P);
And also for some strange reason when I do that my debugger in eclipse sees that element added to the 4th index of orderedPlayers instead of the 0th... is ArrayList buggy or am I completely missing something? how would I add to the middle of a null ArrayList?
I am using the Android onTouchEvent to register touch and the associated movement. I then want to iterate a sprite along that path.
I need to store the path traced by the finger for use later on.
The problem is that after the finger is lifted off the screen the ArrayList (pArray) is completely populated with the X & Y position of the ACTION_UP coordinates.
From the Log i can see that it is adding the current X & Y position to the Arraylist while the finger is moving which is great but then the Arraylist gets overwritten by the data in Arraylist.size() - 1...

I'm working on an app that calls a web service, then the webservice returns an array list. My problem is I am having trouble getting the data into the ArrayList and then displaying in a ListView. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I know for a fact the web service returns an ArrayList. Everything seems to be working fine, just no data in the ListView or the ArrayList.....donned on me that the data the webservice responds with is a complex type. I really think that's where I am getting hung up, but not sure how to correct it.
I finally figured out my webservice returns a JSON Array. Now getting that over to the ArrayList and/or ListView is the challenge. I have a feeling that once this project is done, it might make for a great tutorial or example...
