click on button using Stateflow works itself without any click

I have merged my code from livedata to stateflow to make some actions. Now I'm using StateFlow to navigate to another fragment, the problem is when I click on the button it is not working and when I used livedata it was worked!.
Here's my code of viewmodel
private val _habitsUIState = MutableStateFlow(HabitsMainUIState())
val habitsUIState: StateFlow<HabitsMainUIState> get() = _habitsUIState
private val _addHabitClickedEvent = MutableStateFlow(false)
val addHabitClickedEvent: StateFlow<Boolean> get() = _addHabitClickedEvent
private val _editHabitLongClickedEvent = MutableStateFlow(HabitUIState())
val editHabitLongClickedEvent: StateFlow<HabitUIState> get() = _editHabitLongClickedEvent
override fun onEditHabitLongClicked(habit: HabitUIState): Boolean { _editHabitLongClickedEvent.value = habit return false
}
fun onAddHabitClicked() {
_addHabitClickedEvent.value = true
}
and here is my code in fragment
private fun observeEvents() {
lifecycleScope.launch {
viewModel.apply {
habitsUIState.collectLatest { habitsMainState ->
habitsAdapter.setItems(habitsMainState.habits)
}
addHabitClickedEvent.collectLatest {
navigateToAddHabitDialog()
}
editHabitLongClickedEvent.collectLatest { habitsUIState ->
navigateToHabitEditingDialog(habitsUIState)
}
}
}
}
My button xml "I know it is not needed here but it is ok"
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/add_habit_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:background="#drawable/circle_button_style"
android:onClick="#{() -> viewModel.onAddHabitClicked()}"
android:padding="4dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_add" />
When the code is in the state above, only the data is loaded, but the rest of the code in the lifecycleScope never work as if it has frozen!
When I tried moving each function into its own lifecycleScope (see the code down), they all worked at the same time, but some of them should work when a certain button is pressed.
private fun observeEvents() {
lifecycleScope.launch {
viewModel.habitsUIState.collectLatest { habitsMainState ->
habitsAdapter.setItems(habitsMainState.habits)
}
}
lifecycleScope.launch {
viewModel.addHabitClickedEvent.collectLatest {
navigateToAddHabitDialog()
}
}
lifecycleScope.launch {
viewModel.editHabitLongClickedEvent.collectLatest { habitsUIState ->
navigateToHabitEditingDialog(habitsUIState)
}
}
}
What problem am I facing and how can I solve it? thank you
I have tried using livedata and it was worked!

How to use MutableStateFlow to search item in list

I am learning kotlin flow in android. I want to basically instant search in my list and filter to show in reyclerview. I searched in google and found this amazing medium post. This post is basically search from google. I want to search item in list and show in reyclerview. Can someone guide me how can I start this. I am explanning in more detail
Suppose I have one SearchBox and one Reyclerview which one item abc one, abc two, xyz one, xyz two... etc.
main image when all data is combine
Scenario 1
when I start typing in SearchBox and enter small a or capital A I want to show only two item matching in recyclerview, look like this
Scenario 2
when I enter any wrong text in SearchBox I want to basically show a text message that not found, look like this
Any guidance would be great. Thanks
I am adding my piece of code
ExploreViewModel.kt
class ExploreViewModel(private var list: ArrayList<Category>) : BaseViewModel() {
val filteredTopics = MutableStateFlow<List<opics>>(emptyList())
var topicSelected: TopicsArea? = TopicsArea.ALL
set(value) {
field = value
handleTopicSelection(field ?: TopicsArea.ALL)
}
private fun handleTopicSelection(value: TopicsArea) {
if (value == TopicsArea.ALL) {
filterAllCategories(true)
} else {
filteredTopics.value = list.firstOrNull { it.topics != null && it.title == value.title }
?.topics?.sortedBy { topic -> topic.title }.orEmpty()
}
}
fun filterAllCategories(isAllCategory: Boolean) {
if (isAllCategory && topicSelected == TopicsArea.ALL && !isFirstItemIsAllCategory()) {
list.add(0, code = TopicsArea.ALL.categoryCode))
} else if (isFirstItemIsAllCategory()) {
list.removeAt(0)
}
filteredTopics.value = list.flatMap { it.topics!! }.distinctBy { topic -> topic.title }.sortedBy { topic -> topic.title }
}
private fun isFirstItemIsAllCategory() = list.firstOrNull()?.code == TopicsArea.ALL
}

Dummy data and coming from server

In my view model list is holding above dummy data. And In my recyclerview I am passing the whole object and I am doing flatMap to combine all data into list. Make sure In recyclerview is using Topic and using title property. In Image Abc one, Abc two is holding in Topic. Thanks
After #Tenfour04 suggestion I will go to A2 suggestion because I have already data which converted into flow and passing in my adapter. I am adding my activity code as well.

}
}
I am getting error when I set in adapter
fixed
filteredTopics.value

The tutorial you linked has a Flow produced by the SearchView. If you want to keep the search functionality in your ViewModel, you can put a MutableStateFlow in your ViewModel that will be updated by the SearchView indirectly. You can expose a property for updating the query.
There are two different ways this could be done, depending on whether you (A) already have a complete list of your data that you want to query quickly or (B) you want to query a server or your database every time your query text changes.
And then even (A) can be broken up into: (A1) you have a static plain old List, or (A2) your source List comes from a Flow, such as a returned Room flow that is not based on query parameters.
All code below is in the ViewModel class.
A1:
private val allCategories = categoriesList()
private val query = MutableStateFlow("")
// You should add an OnQueryTextListener on your SearchView that
// sets this property in the ViewModel
var queryText: String
get() = query.value
set(value) { query.value = value }
// This is the flow that should be observed for the updated list that
// can be passed to the RecyclerView.Adapter.
val filteredCategories = query
.debounce(200) // low debounce because we are just filtering local data
.distinctUntilChanged()
.map {
val criteria = it.lowercase()
allCategories.filter { category -> criteria in category.title.lowercase }
}
A2:
In this example I put a simple placeholder flow for the upstream server query. This could be any flow.
private val allCategories = flow {
categoriesList()
}
private val query = MutableStateFlow("")
// You should add an OnQueryTextListener on your SearchView that
// sets this property in the ViewModel
var queryText: String
get() = query.value
set(value) { query.value = value }
// This is the flow that should be observed for the updated list that
// can be passed to the RecyclerView.Adapter.
val filteredCategories = query
.debounce(200) // low debounce because we are just filtering local data
.distinctUntilChanged()
.combine(allCategories) { queryText, categoriesList ->
val criteria = queryText.lowercase()
categoriesList.filter { category -> criteria in category.title.lowercase }
}
B
private val query = MutableStateFlow("")
// You should add an OnQueryTextListener on your SearchView that
// sets this property in the ViewModel
var queryText: String
get() = query.value
set(value) { query.value = value }
// This is the flow that should be observed for the updated list that
// can be passed to the RecyclerView.Adapter.
val filteredCategories = query
.debounce(500) // maybe bigger to avoid too many queries
.distinctUntilChanged()
.map {
val criteria = it.lowercase()
categoriesList(criteria) // up to you to implement this depending on source
}

How to add a calendar header in kotlin

I am using this library, https://github.com/kizitonwose/CalendarView, to create a calendar view. I've followed the docs to add the month header.
I've add the following to res/layout/calendar_month_header_layout.xml:
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/headerTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="16dp"
android:textSize="26sp"
tools:text="October 2019" />
also added the following to the activity xml:
<com.kizitonwose.calendarview.CalendarView
android:id="#+id/month_header"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:cv_dayViewResource="#layout/calendar_day_layout"
app:cv_monthHeaderResource="#layout/calendar_month_header_layout" />
I've also added the following code:
val monthHeader: com.kizitonwose.calendarview.CalendarView = findViewById(R.id.month_header)
monthHeader.monthHeaderBinder = object : MonthHeaderFooterBinder<MonthViewContainer> {
override fun create(view: View) = MonthViewContainer(view)
override fun bind(container: MonthViewContainer, month: CalendarMonth) {
println("TEST")
container.textView.text = "${month.yearMonth.month.name.toLowerCase().capitalize()} ${month.year}"
}
}
However, nothing shows up for the activity. What am I missing? Thank you.
EDIT:
I notice the println("TEST") statement doesn't even get logged

Looks like the problem was I had to have the DayBinder too. The monthHeaderBinder on it's own results in a null error. Below is the working code
val currentMonth = YearMonth.now()
val firstMonth = currentMonth.minusMonths(10)
val lastMonth = currentMonth.plusMonths(10)
val firstDayOfWeek = WeekFields.of(Locale.getDefault()).firstDayOfWeek
setContentView(R.layout.activity_calender_view)
var calendarView: com.kizitonwose.calendarview.CalendarView = findViewById(R.id.calendarView)
calendarView.dayBinder = object : DayBinder<DayViewContainer> {
// Called only when a new container is needed.
override fun create(view: View) = DayViewContainer(view)
// Called every time we need to reuse a container.
override fun bind(container: DayViewContainer, day: CalendarDay) {
container.textView.text = day.date.dayOfMonth.toString()
}
}
calendarView.setup(firstMonth, lastMonth, firstDayOfWeek)
calendarView.scrollToMonth(currentMonth)
calendarView.monthHeaderBinder = object : MonthHeaderFooterBinder<MonthViewContainer> {
override fun create(view: View) = MonthViewContainer(view)
override fun bind(container: MonthViewContainer, month: CalendarMonth) {
container.textView.text = "${month.yearMonth.month.name.toLowerCase().capitalize()} ${month.year}"
}
}
And the activity xml:
<com.kizitonwose.calendarview.CalendarView
android:id="#+id/calendarView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:cv_dayViewResource="#layout/calendar_day_layout"
app:cv_monthHeaderResource="#layout/calendar_month_header_layout"/>

Not able to set value in TextInputLayout using Android Studio after selecting an item

I developed an android app that requires 3 cascading dropdownlists using TextInputLayouts and AutoComplete views. I am pulling the data from SQL and thru okhttp I receive the response and I array the results. The problem is that when I select an item from the list, it does not place the selected item in the view. Instead, it is placing some kind of hex string. I did not wire up the other two dropdownlists, so nothing is tied into it.
e.g.: com.testapp.testappmobilekotlin.model.VendorResponse#a3014fb
This is what is displayed when I select an option, "HVAC Supply"
Below is a snippet from the activity. I am assuming that my base adapter and api calls are fine since it is populating the array and the list as designed.
private fun loadVendorList() {
val sharedPreferences: SharedPreferences =
getSharedPreferences("sharedPrefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE)
val tenantId: String? = sharedPreferences.getString("tenantId_KEY", null)
val token: String? = sharedPreferences.getString("accessToken_KEY", null)
// make API call
val call = checkStockService.getVendorList(tenantId,
"Bearer $token",
tenantId?.toInt(),
"application/json"
)
call.enqueue(object : Callback<VendorResult> {
override fun onResponse(
call: Call<VendorResult>,
response: Response<VendorResult>
) {
if (response.isSuccessful) {
vendorItemsArrayList = response.body()!!.result as ArrayList<VendorResponse>?
// initialize adapter
vendorAdapter = VendorRequestBaseAdapter(
this#CheckStockActivity,
R.layout.dropdown_item,
vendorItemsArrayList
)
val editTextFilledExposedDropdown =
findViewById<AutoCompleteTextView>(R.id.selectVendor)
editTextFilledExposedDropdown.setAdapter(vendorAdapter)
}
}
override fun onFailure(call: Call<VendorResult>, t: Throwable) {
Toast.makeText(this#CheckStockActivity, "error :(", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
})
}
Here is my XML layout where I house the TextInputLayout and AutoCompleteTextView
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/ll_dropdown_search">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.ExposedDropdownMenu"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="25dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="25dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/selectVendor"
android:layout_width="284dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Select Vendor"
android:inputType="none" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Here is my TextView
<TextView
android:id="#+id/vendorName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textStyle="normal"
android:textSize="15sp"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
/>
Below is what happens when I select, let's say, "HVAC Supply" From the list. Any guidance would be more than welcomed! Thanks.

I'm here to answer my own question with the hope that it will help anyone else out there that runs into this problem. Using Kotlin, I realized that I have to set up an "OnItemClickListener" on the AutoCompleteTextView. So, using my model, I coded the following:
val selectVendorDropDown =
findViewById<AutoCompleteTextView>(R.id.selectVendor)
selectVendorDropDown.setAdapter(vendorAdapter)
selectVendorDropDown.onItemClickListener =
AdapterView.OnItemClickListener { parent, view, position, id ->
val selectedItem = parent.adapter.getItem(position) as VendorResponse?
if (selectedItem != null) {
selectVendorDropDown.setText(selectedItem.vendorName)
}
}
This snippet of code, now allows the selected item to be displayed in the textview of whichever view you are using.

Your adapter must have implemented the filterable interface, so you can rewrite convertresulttostring to solve this problem.
override fun getFilter(): Filter {
return object : Filter() {
override fun performFiltering(charSequence: CharSequence): FilterResults {
val charString = charSequence.toString()
val filterResults = FilterResults()
filterResults.values = charString
return filterResults
}
override fun publishResults(
charSequence: CharSequence,
filterResults: FilterResults
) {
}
override fun convertResultToString(resultValue: Any): CharSequence? {
return (resultValue as Selector).Title
}
}
}

Android: Enable a Button inside RecyclerView.ViewHolder

I have a button (id: readyButtonIntro) inside a layout (introscreen.xml) that i need to enable. To do that, i have another button inside the RecyclerView.ViewHolder.
This is my Layout to need access
introscreen.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorWhite"
tools:context=".IntroScreenVC">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/indicatorContainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/readyButtonIntro"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"

android:enabled="false"
android:text="Ready"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
And the another button is inside into the ViewHolder
slide_item_container.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="15dp"
>
<Button
android:id="#+id/addData"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:text="Agregar Datos"
android:background="#drawable/button_rounded2"
/>
</LinearLayout>
How can I enable from inside the class that listener the button?
class IntroSlideViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
init {
addData.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener {
//NEED TO ENABLE THE BUTTON
// val introScreen = IntroScreenVC()
// introScreen.readyButton()
}
}
I have a fun into IntroScreenVC but always have a error that its null, if a pass the context or view, do nothing.
fun readyButton(){
readyButtonIntro.isEnabled = true
}
Could you help me with this? I would really appreciate it.
Thank you very much!
Regards.
Edit:
I put the adapter and the ViewHolder for more information.
I ignored that because I didn't want to create confusion. Sorry for that..

introSliderViewPager.adapter = IntroScreenAdapter(introSliderAdapter, this)
}
...
override fun onClick() {
//HERE ENABLE AND SHOW THE BUTTON
readyButtonIntro.isEnabled = true
readyButtonIntro.alpha = 1f
}
And the into the Adapter and RecyclerView
class IntroScreenAdapter(private val introSlides: List<IntroSlide>, val adapterOnClick: AdapterOnClick) : RecyclerView.Adapter<IntroScreenAdapter.IntroSliderViewHolder>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): IntroScreenAdapter.IntroSliderViewHolder {
val layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent?.context)
val cellForRow = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.slide_item_container,parent,false)
return IntroSliderViewHolder(cellForRow)
}
...
inner class IntroSliderViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
...
init {
addData.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener {
val mDialogView = LayoutInflater.from(contexto).inflate(R.layout.alertdialog_add_data,null)
val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(contexto)
builder.setView(mDialogView)
val dialog: AlertDialog = builder.create()
dialog.show()
dialog.getWindow()?.setBackgroundDrawable(ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
mDialogView.agregarDatosOK.setOnClickListener {
//FINALLY HERE CHANGE THE BUTTON TO ENABLE :)
adapterOnClick.onClick()
}
}
}
}

As I understand your problem you have a class A that is trying to communicate (change something) in class B.
There are several options for solving this kind of problem, depending on your exact needs.
From the code you have provided the relation of your Layouts and classes is not clear enough to me to give a more precise answer.
First of all, I understand you are using a recycler view.
A recycler view can have many items, and I assume you want to be able to enable that button from each item.
In order to let your IntroScreen class communicate with your viewholder, you have to pass a reference to the ViewHolder constructor.
For this purpose you could implement a simple "callback pattern".
Here is an example for defining an interface (e.g. for a function that enables the button) and implementing the callback.
Have a read here to see a well-explained example in Java. In Kotlin you could do it the same way.
Here a summary of the implementation steps:
define interface EnableButtonCallback that implements an abstract method enableButton
let your InfoScreen class implement that interface (in which you enable the button)
pass your InfoScreen class to your RecyclerView adapter and then from your adapter to your ViewHolder
in your ViewHolder onClickListener call the interface method enableButton

I try to give suggestions based on your updated code.
In the intro screen you set your viewPager adapter, but it is still not clear where this property is coming from and where exactly it is displayed. I guess maybe you just cut out the parameter definition. However, I just assume you have your views set up properly and this is not a problem here. For using recycler view with viewPager I found some related information here.
I can not yet see your use case clearly yet. Are you adding data persistently? Then should your button in the IntroScreen be permanently enabled?
In this case probably SharedPreferences are a good choice for persisting this kind of information. Even when it doesn't need to be persisted. Reading one shared preference file is lightweight and quick enough to be done on the main thread.
I will give you an example implementation here:
Get a shared preferences object
val sharedPref = activity?.getSharedPreferences(
"intro_button_settings_file", Context.MODE_PRIVATE) // String with the key should be in your string resource file
Pass your sharedPref to your adapter and your viewHolder and write to it:
with (sharedPref.edit()) {
putBoolean("ready_button_enabled", true) // String with the key should be in your string resource file
commit()
}
in your IntroScreen check the setting
val readyButtonShouldBeEnabled = sharedPref.getBoolean("ready_button_enabled",
false) // defaults to false
If, after clicking your enable button (that sets the setting to true), you need to return to your IntroScreen activity: then you could enable your button in your activities onResume method
A different solution would be:
You check the setting in your IntroScreen onClick method.
Then you don't need to disable the button.
You just set:
// in your IntroScreen readyButtonIntro onClick method
val buttonEnabled = sharedPref.getBoolean("ready_button_enabled",
false)
if (!buttonEnabled) {
// optional: write a Toast to notify the user why the button is doing nothing (yet)
Toast.makeText(yourIntroScreenContext, "First agregar datos", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
return // onClick returns, so nothing else will happen when clicked
}
... // your code when the button **should** be enabled
If your button should be disabled again, simply save false to the setting.
Since I do not know more about your use case, this seems like an easy and quick solution to me. This way you do not need to bother with implementing an interface. Anyways, when clicking your button in your viewHolder there is no immediate action taking place in your IntroScreen activity. You still want the user to return to the IntroScreen and click the enabled button.
Then checking if your button was enabled just when clicking on it appears sufficient to me.
