I'm new to kotlin so this maybe a very easy issue to resolve.
What I'm trying to do is filter the json response that I receive using Retrofit2 before I display the images in a grid with a RecyclerView.
instagram.com/explore/tags/{hashtag}/?__a=1&max_id= Using Retrofit2 I'm able to get the data response fine and also display the given url images in a RecyclerView.
I have not been successful in using the filter, map, loops and conditions to remove elements from the Arraylist. I do not understand these to the fullest extent but I have searched looking for solutions and those are what I came apon.
Interface
interface InstagramDataFetcher
{
#GET("tags/{tag}/?__a=1&max_id=")
fun getInstagramData(#Path("tag") hashtag: String) : Call <InstagramResponse>
}
Where I get my response from and also get StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
class InstagramFeedFragment : Fragment()
{
private fun onResponse()
{
val service = RestAPI.retrofitInstance?.create(InstagramDataFetcher::class.java)
val call = service?.getInstagramData("hashtag")
call?.enqueue(object : Callback<InstagramResponse>
{
override fun onFailure(call: Call<InstagramResponse>, t: Throwable)
{
Log.d("FEED", " $t")
}
override fun onResponse(
call: Call<InstagramResponse>, response: Response<InstagramResponse>
)
{
//for ((index, value) in data.withIndex())
if (response.isSuccessful)
{
var data: ArrayList<InstagramResponse.InstagramEdgesResponse>? = null
val body = response.body()
data = body!!.graphql.hashtag.edge_hashtag_to_media.edges
for ((index, value) in data.withIndex())
{
if(value.node.accessibility_caption[index].toString().contains("text") ||
value.node.accessibility_caption[index].toString().contains("person"))
{
data.drop(index)
}
}
recyclerView.adapter = InstagramGridAdapter(data, parentFragment!!.context!!)
}
}
})
}
}
This is my model class
data class InstagramResponse(val graphql: InstagramGraphqlResponse)
{
data class InstagramGraphqlResponse(val hashtag: InstagramHashtagResponse)
data class InstagramHashtagResponse(val edge_hashtag_to_media: InstagramHashtagToMediaResponse)
data class InstagramHashtagToMediaResponse(
val page_info: InstagramPageInfo,
val edges: ArrayList<InstagramEdgesResponse>
)
data class InstagramPageInfo(
val has_next_page: Boolean,
val end_cursor: String
)
data class InstagramEdgesResponse(val node: InstagramNodeResponse)
data class InstagramNodeResponse(
val __typename: String,
val shortcode: String,
val display_url: String,
val thumbnail_src: String,
val thumbnail_resources: ArrayList<InstagramThumbnailResourceResponse>,
val is_video: Boolean,
val accessibility_caption: String
)
data class InstagramThumbnailResourceResponse(
val src: String,
val config_width: Int,
val config_height: Int
)
}
Simply again, I want to just remove elements from the arraylist that match certain things what I don't want. For instance. the "is_video" value that comes from the json. I want to go through the arraylist and remove all elements that have "is_video" as true.
Thanks
If you asking how to filter the list then below is the demo.
You just need to use filter on your data which is an ArrayList. I've tried keeping the same structure for the models so that you can get a better understanding.
fun main() {
val first = InstagramNodeResponse(
title = "first",
is_video = true
)
val second = InstagramNodeResponse(
title = "second",
is_video = false
)
val list: ArrayList<InstagramEdgesResponse> = arrayListOf(
InstagramEdgesResponse(node = first),
InstagramEdgesResponse(node = second)
)
val itemsWithVideo = list.filter { it.node.is_video == true }
val itemsWithoutVideo = list.filter { it.node.is_video == false }
println(itemsWithVideo.map { it.node.title }) // [first]
println(itemsWithoutVideo.map { it.node.title }) // [second]
}
// Models
data class InstagramEdgesResponse(val node: InstagramNodeResponse)
data class InstagramNodeResponse(
val title: String,
val is_video: Boolean
)

I'm a junior Android developer and trying to build a Facebook-like social media app. My issue is that when I bookmark a post in Screen B and the action succeeds, (1) I want to launch an API request in Screen A while in Screen B and (2) update the bookmarked icon ONLY for that particular post.
For the second part of the issue, I tried these two solutions.
I relaunched a manual API request on navigating back to Screen A. This updates the whole list when there's only one small change, hence very inefficient.
I built another URL route to fetch that updated post only and launched it on navigating back to Screen A. But to insert the newly updated post at the old index, the list has to be mutable and I ain't sure this is a good practice.
Please help me on how to solve this issue or similar issues. I'm not sure if this should be done by passing NavArg to update locally and then some or by using web sockets. Thanks in advance.
data class ScreenAState(
val posts: List<Post> = emptyList(),
val isLoading: Boolean = false)
data class ScreenBState(
val post: PostDetail? = null,
val isBookmarked: Boolean? = null)
data class Post(
val title: String,
val isBookMarked: Boolean,
val imageUrl: String)
data class PostDetail(
val title: String,
val content: String,
val isBookMarked: Boolean,
val imageUrl: String)
I suggest you continue with using your logic that will update your list on return from screen B to screen A, but instead of using simple list, you could use:
https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/runtime/snapshots/SnapshotStateList
This list is designed for what you need I think. Update just that one element.
In mean time, you can change that item from list to some loading dummy item, if you want to have loading like view while you wait for API call to finish.
The problem is how to handle data consistency, which is not directly related to jetpack compose. I suggest you solve this problem at the model level. Return flow instead of static data in the repository, and use collectAsState in the jetpack compose to monitor data changes.
It's hard to give an example, because it depends on the type of Model layer. If it's a database, androidx's room library supports returning flow; if it's a network, take a look at this.
https://gist.github.com/FishHawk/6e4706646401bea20242bdfad5d86a9e
Triggering a refresh is not a good option. It is better to maintain an ActionChannel in the repository for each list that is monitored. use the ActionChannel to modify the list locally to notify compose of the update.
For example, you can make a PagedList if the data layer is network. With onStart and onClose, channels can be added or removed from the repository, thus giving the repository the ability to update all the observed lists.

Did anyone implement google autocomplete suggestion text field or fragment in a jetpack compose project? If so kindly guide or share code snippets as I'm having difficulty in implementing it.
Update
Here is the intent that I'm triggering to open full-screen dialog, but when I start typing within it gets closed, and also I'm unable to figure out what the issue is and need a clue about handling on activity result for reading the result of the predictions within this compose function.
Places.initialize(context, "sa")
val fields = listOf(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME)
val intent = Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(
AutocompleteActivityMode.FULLSCREEN,fields).build(context)
startActivityForResult(context as MainActivity,intent, AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE, Bundle.EMPTY)
I am using the MVVM architecture and this is how I implemented it:
GooglePlacesApi
I've created an api for reaching google api named GooglePlacesApi
interface GooglePlacesApi {
#GET("maps/api/place/autocomplete/json")
suspend fun getPredictions(
#Query("key") key: String = <GOOGLE_API_KEY>,
#Query("types") types: String = "address",
#Query("input") input: String
): GooglePredictionsResponse
companion object{
const val BASE_URL = "https://maps.googleapis.com/"
}
}
The #Query("types") field is for specifiying what are you looking for in the query, you can look for establishments etc.
Types can be found here
Models
So I created 3 models for this implementation:
GooglePredictionsResponse
The way the response looks if you are doing a GET request with postman is:
Google Prediction Response
You can see that we have an object with "predictions" key so this is our first model.
data class GooglePredictionsResponse(
val predictions: ArrayList<GooglePrediction>
)
GooglePredictionTerm
data class GooglePredictionTerm(
val offset: Int,
val value: String
)
GooglePrediction
data class GooglePrediction(
val description: String,
val terms: List<GooglePredictionTerm>
)
I only needed that information, if you need anything else, feel free to modify the models or create your own.
GooglePlacesRepository
And finally we create the repository to get the information (I'm using hilt to inject my dependencies, you can ignore those annotations if not using it)
#ActivityScoped
class GooglePlacesRepository #Inject constructor(
private val api: GooglePlacesApi,
){
suspend fun getPredictions(input: String): Resource<GooglePredictionsResponse>{
val response = try {
api.getPredictions(input = input)
} catch (e: Exception) {
Log.d("Rently", "Exception: ${e}")
return Resource.Error("Failed prediction")
}
return Resource.Success(response)
}
}
Here I've used an extra class I've created to handle the response, called Resource
sealed class Resource<T>(val data: T? = null, val message: String? = null){
class Success<T>(data: T): Resource<T>(data)
class Error<T>(message: String, data:T? = null): Resource<T>(data = data, message = message)
class Loading<T>(data: T? = null): Resource<T>(data = data)
}
View Model
Again I'm using hilt so ignore annotations if not using it.
#HiltViewModel
class AddApartmentViewModel #Inject constructor(private val googleRepository: GooglePlacesRepository): ViewModel(){
val isLoading = mutableStateOf(false)
val predictions = mutableStateOf(ArrayList<GooglePrediction>())
fun getPredictions(address: String) {
viewModelScope.launch {
isLoading.value = true
val response = googleRepository.getPredictions(input = address)
when(response){
is Resource.Success -> {
predictions.value = response.data?.predictions!!
}
}
isLoading.value = false
}
}
fun onSearchAddressChange(address: String){
getPredictions(address)
}
}
If you need any further help let me know
I didn't include UI implementation because I assume it is individual but this is the easier part ;)
#Composable
fun MyComponent() {
val context = LocalContext.current
val intentLauncher = rememberLauncherForActivityResult(
contract = ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()
) {
when (it.resultCode) {
Activity.RESULT_OK -> {
it.data?.let {
val place = Autocomplete.getPlaceFromIntent(it)
Log.i("MAP_ACTIVITY", "Place: ${place.name}, ${place.id}")
}
}
AutocompleteActivity.RESULT_ERROR -> {
it.data?.let {
val status = Autocomplete.getStatusFromIntent(it)
Log.i("MAP_ACTIVITY", "Place: ${place.name}, ${place.id}")
}
}
Activity.RESULT_CANCELED -> {
// The user canceled the operation.
}
}
}
val launchMapInputOverlay = {
Places.initialize(context, YOUR_API_KEY)
val fields = listOf(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME)
val intent = Autocomplete
.IntentBuilder(AutocompleteActivityMode.OVERLAY, fields)
.build(context)
intentLauncher.launch(intent)
}
Column {
Button(onClick = launchMapInputOverlay) {
Text("Select Location")
}
}
}
I m new to kotlin and MVVM, I have been working around this issue for a week now, couldn't get any idea even after searching for some code on the internet.
I'm trying to edit or modify the retrofit response (to observe a specific type; say "sf") according to my need and neglecting other data which is not needed. I'm using mutable livedata to fetch and update the JSON data from the retrofit response to the recylerview.
Here is the link for the JSON data: http://www.nactem.ac.uk/software/acromine/dictionary.py?sf=HMM
3 Data classes based on JSON response:
data class sf(
#SerializedName("sf")
#Expose
val sf : String? = null,
#SerializedName("lfs")
#Expose
val lfs : List<lfs>? = null,
)
data class lfs(
#SerializedName("lf")
#Expose
var lf : String? = null,
#SerializedName("freq")
#Expose
var freq : Int? = null,
#SerializedName("since")
#Expose
var since : Int? = null,
#SerializedName("vars")
#Expose
var vars : List<vars>? = null,
) : Serializable
class vars (
#SerializedName("lf")
#Expose
var lf : String? = null,
#SerializedName("freq")
#Expose
var freq : Int? = null,
#SerializedName("since")
#Expose
var since : Int?
): Serializable
Code in Activity:
listUsers = mutableListOf()
adapter = WordAdapters(this, listUsers )
recyclerView.adapter = adapter
wordViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this,
WordViewModelFactory(this)).get(WordsViewModel::class.java)
wordViewModel!!.getData().observe(this, { t: ArrayList<sf>? ->
listUsers.clear()
t?.let { listUsers.addAll(it)
}
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
})
ViewModel:
class WordsViewModel ( context: Context) : ViewModel() {
private var listData = MutableLiveData<ArrayList<sf>>()
init {
val wordRepository: WordsRepository by lazy {
WordsRepository
}
//if (context.isInternetAvailable()) {
listData = wordRepository.getMutableLiveData(context)
// }
}
fun getData(): MutableLiveData<ArrayList<sf>> {
return listData
} }
Repository:
object WordsRepository {
var call: Call<MutableList<sf>>? = null
fun getMutableLiveData(context: Context) : MutableLiveData<ArrayList<sf>> {
val mutableLiveData = MutableLiveData<ArrayList<sf>>()
//context.showProgressBar()
call = NetworkApiClient.apiService.getWordsMatching("HMM")
call!!.enqueue(object : Callback<MutableList<sf>> {
override fun onFailure(call: Call<MutableList<sf>>, t: Throwable) {
//hideProgressBar()
Log.e("error", t.localizedMessage.toString())
}
override fun onResponse(call: Call<MutableList<sf>>, response:
Response<MutableList<sf>>)
{
//hideProgressBar()
if (!response.isSuccessful){
Log.e("Code " , response.code().toString());
return
}
val raw: okhttp3.Response = response.raw()
val usersResponse : MutableList<sf>? = response.body()
/* if (usersResponse != null) {
for( movie in usersResponse[0].lfs!!){
Log.v("MainActivity", movie.vars.toString())
}
}*/
Log.e("Output : ", usersResponse.toString())
usersResponse?.let { mutableLiveData.value = it as ArrayList<sf> }
}
})
return mutableLiveData
}
}
this is the base structure of JSON: here "sf" is a string, lfs is the array, according to this JSON response link provided I get 8 lfs arrays, but currently after parsing the recyclecount is 1 which is the same in the adapter itemcount method, so I get one row displayed in recylerview and rest are ignored.
JSON response:
[
{
"sf":"HMM",
"lfs":[
{
"lf":"heavy meromyosin",
"freq":267,
"since":1971,
"vars":[
{
"lf":"heavy meromyosin",
"freq":244,
"since":1971
},
{
"lf":"Heavy meromyosin",
"freq":12,
"since":1975
},
{
"lf":"H-meromyosin",
"freq":5,
"since":1975
},
{
"lf":"heavy-meromyosin",
"freq":4,
"since":1977
},
{
"lf":"heavy meromyosin",
"freq":1,
"since":1976
},
{
"lf":"H-Meromyosin",
"freq":1,
"since":1976
}
]
},
I want to ignore "sf" string after response and parse the ArrayList which is present under the "sf" which is "lfs", so based on "lfs" I need to display the data.
Mutable live data is not accepting any other type other than sf, since I placed the observer on it.
On the json you posted, there is only one parent item ( one sf ), but you are actually trying to pass the 8 lfs children. You have to perform such transformation somewhere, it could be on the network call directly, like this:
usersResponse?.let { mutableLiveData.value = it[0].lfs as ArrayList }
Take into account two things:
It could be better to check if "it" is not empty before going for the first item.
This only works if you will always have only one item on the parent array ( this sounds strange since if this is the case then the service should be returning an object, not a list, as the root of the json. If you will receive more than one object you will have to map the response into a single list of lfs. Something like (pseudo code since I'm from my phone):
It.map( item -> item.lfs)
This is my JSON :
{
"cats": [
{
"id": "2",
"uid": "2",
"name": "English",
"date_update": "2019-04-22 15:31:00",
"numCards": 0
}
]
}
I've these two classes:
data class CatModelStr(
val cats: List<Cat>
)
data class Cat(
val date_update: String,
val id: String,
val name: String,
val numCards: Int,
val uid: String
)
I'm using MVVM and android architecture components. This is my model class for getting the data:
class CategoryModel(private val netManager: NetManager) {
var dateChanges: String = "null";
fun getCats(): MutableLiveData<MutableList<CatModelStr>> {
var list = MutableLiveData<MutableList<CatModelStr>>();
if (netManager.isConnected!!) {
list = getCatsOnline();
}
return list
}
private fun getCatsOnline(): MutableLiveData<MutableList<CatModelStr>> {
var list:MutableLiveData<MutableList<CatModelStr>> =MutableLiveData()
val getCats = ApiConnection.client.create(Category::class.java)
getCats.getCats(MyApp().uid, dateChanges)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(
{ success ->
list += success
},{
error->
Log.v("this","ErrorGetCats "+ error.localizedMessage);
}
)
return list;
}
operator fun <T> MutableLiveData<MutableList<T>>.plusAssign(values: List<T>) {
val value = this.value ?: arrayListOf()
value.addAll(values)
this.value = value
}
I have a viewModel and activity for getting the data and it works fine. The problem is this, I want to get cat values (the json properties inside cat) out of my MutableLiveData.
This is my activity code:
vm.getCats().observe(this, Observer {
if(it!=null) {
rc_cats.visibility= View.VISIBLE
pb.visibility=View.GONE
catAdapter.reloadData(it)
}
})
The value is MutableList<CatModelStr> and I need Cat.
How can I get Cat out of MutableList?
What I am getting is that you don't need MutableList list from your response instead you need CatModelStr
you need to make the following changes from starting i guess.
class CategoryModel(private val netManager: NetManager) {
var dateChanges: String = "null";
fun getCats(): MutableLiveData<CatModelStr> {
var list = MutableLiveData<CatModelStr>();
if (netManager.isConnected!!) {
list = getCatsOnline();
}
return list
}
private fun getCatsOnline(): MutableLiveData<CatModelStr> {
var list:MutableLiveData<CatModelStr> = MutableLiveData()
val getCats = ApiConnection.client.create(Category::class.java)
getCats.getCats(MyApp().uid, dateChanges)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(
{ success ->
list.setValue(success)
},{
error->
Log.v("this","ErrorGetCats "+ error.localizedMessage);
list.setValue(null)
}
)
return list;
}
and now if observe this you will get CatModelStr instead of MutableList and the reason is that your JSON is giving you data in format CatModelStr, you are trying to get this unnecessarily in MutableList which also won't work and you can't parse your JSON given the format.
I am working on updating the parsing of an API response that uses a Serialized Data Class to parse the JSON response. The serialization works perfectly fine right now, but the new data that I'm attempting to parse into data class is not fully reliant on data in the json. Here is what I mean by that:
The data class is Career, and the new data I need to parse is a set of skills and each have a rating. The json data is very simple and contains the skills as such:
{
// other career data
...
"mathematics_skill": 8,
"critical_thinking_skill": 6
... // the remaining skills
}
Using straight serialization, I would only be able to store the data as such:
data class Career(
// Other career data
#serializableName("mathematic_skill") val mathSkill: Int,
#serializableName("critical_thinking_skill") val mathSkill: Int,
// remaining skills
)
However, I would like to store all skills in an array variable of a custom skills class that not only contains the rating, but also the name of the skill and a color. Basically, when I access the skills data of a career, I would like to access it like such:
val careerMathSkill = career.skills[0]
val mathRating = careerMathSkill.rating
val mathColor = careerMathSkill.color
Is it possible to use the serialized data from the data class to add non-serialized data to the same data class? (Sorry for the weird wording, not sure how else to explain it)
EDIT: Here is what I have:
class CareersRemote(
#SerializedName("careers") val careers: List<Career>
) {
companion object {
fun parseResponse(response: Response<CareersRemote>): CareersResponse {
return if (response.isSuccessful) {
response.body()!!.format()
} else
CareersResponse(listOf(CareersResponse.ErrorType.Generic()))
}
}
fun format(): CareersResponse {
val careers = topCareers.map {
Career(
id = it.id,
title = it.title,
)
}.toMutableList()
return CareersResponse(CareersResponse.SuccessData(careers = careers))
}
data class Career(
#SerializedName("id") val id: String,
#SerializedName("title") val title: String,
)
}
Here is what I am hoping to do in a way
class CareersRemote(
#SerializedName("careers") val careers: List<Career>
) {
companion object {
fun parseResponse(response: Response<CareersRemote>): CareersResponse {
return if (response.isSuccessful) {
response.body()!!.format()
} else
CareersResponse(listOf(CareersResponse.ErrorType.Generic()))
}
}
fun format(): CareersResponse {
val careers = topCareers.map {
Career(
id = it.id,
title = it.title,
)
}.toMutableList()
return CareersResponse(CareersResponse.SuccessData(careers = careers))
}
data class Career(
#SerializedName("id") val id: String,
#SerializedName("title") val title: String,
// skills array that will need to be filled out based on the data I got in the json
var skills: List<Skill>
)
}
EDIT: The suggested solution
class CareersRemote(
#SerializedName("careers") val careers: List<Career>
) {
companion object {
fun parseResponse(response: Response<CareersRemote>): CareersResponse {
return if (response.isSuccessful) {
response.body()!!.format()
} else
CareersResponse(listOf(CareersResponse.ErrorType.Generic()))
}
}
fun format(): CareersResponse {
val careers = topCareers.map {
Career(
id = it.id,
title = it.title,
)
}.toMutableList()
return CareersResponse(CareersResponse.SuccessData(careers = careers))
}
data class Career(
#SerializedName("id") val id: String,
#SerializedName("title") val title: String,
#SerializedName("math_skill") val mathSkill: Int
#SerializedName("other_skill") val mathSkill: Int
) {
var skills: List<Skill> = {
val mathSkill = Skill(name: "Math", rating: mathSkill, color: /**some color*/)
val otherSkill = Skill(name: "Other", rating: otherSkill, color: /**some color*/)
return listOf(mathSkill, otherSkill)
}
}
}
Yes, you can create a custom JsonDeserializer to modify how the JSON is parsed.
Here is a basic example of what that would look like.
class CareerDeserializer : JsonDeserializer<Career> {
override fun deserialize(json: JsonElement, typeOfT: Type, context: JsonDeserializationContext): Career {
val obj = json.asJsonObject
// standard career data
val id = obj.get("id")?.asString
val name = obj.get("name").asString
// making a Skill object
val skill = Skill(
obj.get("mathematic_skill").asInt,
obj.get("critical_thinking_skill").asInt,
obj.get("swimming_skill").asInt
// etc
)
return Career(id, name, skill)
}
}
And make sure to register that within your GsonBuilder.
val gson = GsonBuilder()
.registerTypeAdapter(Career::class.java, CareerDeserializer())
.create()
Note, you'll also have to create a JsonSerializer if you want to go the other way too.
Edit:
However, if you're just looking to change the syntax of how you're accessing that data, you can do something like this.
data class Career(
// Other career data
val mathSkill: Int,
val thinkSkill: Int
// remaining skills
) {
val skills: List<Int>
get() = listOf(mathSkill, thinkSkill)
}
This would give you a skills list back whenever you needed it, and it would be created when you accessed it, so you won't have to worry about the data being out of sync. This would allow you to access your data as such.
career.skills[0] // get the math skill.
And you can take this another step further by adding a get operator to your Career class.
data class Career(
// Other career data
val mathSkill: Int,
val thinkSkill: Int
// remaining skills
) {
...
operator fun get(pos: Int) = skills[pos]
}
Now, you can simply do
career[0] // get the math skill.
Warning, this is dangerous because you're accessing an Array so you could get OutOfBoundsExceptions. Use constants to help you out.
Edit 2:
val skills = {
listOf(Skill("Math", mathSkill, /** some color */ ),
Skill("Other", otherSkill, /** some color */ ))
}
