how to synchronise Between class controller contains AsyncTask and fragment

I am very very tired
I can't change visibility or an object in the fragment from the class controller
exmple addIteamsAutomatic.progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE); return nullpointer
FragmentAddIteamsAutomatic :
public class FragmentAddIteamsAutomatic extends Fragment {

You declare fragment in AsyncTask and doesn't call replace or add, it mean this fragment never show and it not call onCreateView
FragmentAddIteamsAutomatic addIteamsAutomatic=new FragmentAddIteamsAutomatic();
Maybe you should pass reference addIteamsAutomatic to class ControllerAddIteam. but please make sure it will be call on MainThread, because AsyncTask has method doInBackground in background Thread. best practice is wrap fragment reference by WeakReference

public class AddIteamActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ViewPager pager;
TabLayout tab;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_iteam);
pager = findViewById(R.id.pager);
tab = findViewById(R.id.tab);
AddIteamsAdapter viewPagerAdapter = new AddIteamsAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
pager.setAdapter(viewPagerAdapter);
tab.setupWithViewPager(pager);
}
}

Android RecyclerView does not refresh after insert

I have a problem with my RecyclerView.
I have a ProductDetailActivity which shows the detail of a product and i have a RecyclerView with its adapter in it.
The user can click on the give rating button which navigates to the RatingActivity where you can give a rating to the product.
The problem is that when i submit my rating and automatically go back to my RatingActivity, the RecyclerView does not get the recently added rating. i have to go back to my productlist and reclick on the product to see the recently added rating.
Here is my code:
ProductDetailActivity:
public class ProductDetailActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public AppDatabase appDatabase;
private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "Database_Shop";
private RecyclerView mRecycleviewRating;
private RatingAdapter mAdapterRating;
private Button btnGoToRatingActivity;

int id;

.fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
.build();
btnGoToRatingActivity = findViewById(R.id.btn_goToRatingActivity);
Intent intent = getIntent();
id = intent.getIntExtra("productid", -1);
// pour montrer tous les ratings d'un produit, tu fais un getall
p = appDatabase.productDAO().getProductById(id);
ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageDetail);
TextView textViewName = findViewById(R.id.txt_nameDetail);

Picasso.get().load(p.getProductImage()).fit().centerInside().into(imageView);

Pictures:

You get no update in the ProductDetailActivity because you are not updating the data object ratings in the ProductDetailActivity that is the basis for the RatingAdapter.
It would be better to use startActivityForResult in the onClick()method of the ProductDetailActivity. Then you need to override the onActivityResult() method in the ProductDetailActivity. Evaluate the return values and update your data source if necessary, then call notifyDataSetChanged.
This is just pseudo code!
Changes to ProductDetailActivity:
btnGoToRatingActivity.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent i = new Intent(ProductDetailActivity.this, RatingActivity.class);
i.putExtra("productid", p.getProduct_id());
// with this you are telling the activity to expect results and..
//..to deal with them in onActivityResult
startActivityForResult(i, 1);
}
});
// You do not need this next line because setting the adaper triggers the first
//mAdapterRating.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
Add the onActivityResult() method to the ProductDetailActivity.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == 1) {
if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
// trigger a method to update the data object that is linked to the adapter
ratings = appDatabase.ratingDAO().getRatingByProductId(id);
// and now that the data has actually been updated you can call notifyDataSetChanged!!
mAdapterRating.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
//Probably do nothing or make a Toast "Canceled"??
}
}
}
Changes to RatingActivity:
btnConfirmRating.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(!checkEmptyFields()) {
// I will just assume this works!
Rating rating = new Rating(p.getProduct_id(),UserConnected.connectedUser.getUser_id(),mRatingBar.getRating(), UserConnected.connectedUser.getUsername(), mComment.getText().toString());
appDatabase.ratingDAO().insertRating(rating);
Intent intent = new Intent();
//If you need to return some value.. do it here other you do not need it
//intent.putExtra("result", result);
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}else{
Toast.makeText(RatingActivity.this, "Empty Fields", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
Please be aware in RatingActivity that in btnConfirmRating.setOnClickListener notifying the adapter with mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); does nothing: firstly, because the adapter in the RatingActivity has nothing to do with the adapter in the ProductDetailActivity; secondly: you call finish(); in the next line of code.

Duplicate values when clicking back button - FIXED

Here is my situation.
In this screen, I click the comments button.
The Comment activity opens and I type what I want.
The comment is added successfully in firebase and it takes me back in detail activity.
So far everything is great! Now let's add another comment. Now you see I get duplicate comments.
I hope you see that too. Now in the DetailActivity I have a method called queryFirebaseDb() and that method is called inside both onCreate() and onResume() methods. If I don't use the onResume() method the data will not be display after clicking the back button from the CommentActivity. You see where I am going now right? The question is how to avoid duplicate data after coming back from CommentActivity. Here is my code.

UPDATE
I used this

finish();
startActivity(getIntent());
}
and voila!

Some stuff I thought you would know when doing Android:
Basically, in android, you need to understand how the life cycle works. So, when you call queryFirebaseDb() from onCreate and from onResume, your app is doing two queries at the same time when activity starts initially.
Lifecycle is like this OnCreate -> onResume. So, it makes sense that when activity starts, query gets executed once on onCreate than on onResume based on your logic.
Answer is here
I noticed that you are using ArrayList<Comment> commentArrayList;, which is an ArrayList structure, which lets you have duplicate data. And, if you look into the behavior of Firebase and how your query is structured, it is like this,
Query query = mDatabase.child("comments").orderByChild("newsTitle").equalTo(newsTitle);
This query means that you are taking all the comments, the previous comment and the new comment, (not just new comment), which I think you either just want (1) to get recently added comment or (2) to replace the old comments with new one.
The first way of doing this sounds complicated to me, though that is not impossible. But, second way of doing is rather easy.
Therefore, to solve this,
simply, replace the arrayList you have with this data.
if(dataSnapshot.exists()){
ArrayList<Comment> tempComments = new ArrayList();
for(DataSnapshot dataSnapshots : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
Comment comment = dataSnapshots.getValue(Comment.class);
//mUserDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Users").child(userId);
tempComments.add(comment);

Create a variable like this:
boolean isTextCorrect = false;
In default, the button is invisible.
Implement a listener. If the text in the textfield changed and its correct switch isTextCorrect to true and make the button visible (clickable).
if(isTextCorrect){
button.setVisible(View.VISIBLE);
}

How to update a textview in a dialog fragment from an activity?

It may be a silly question but I didn't find a good way to update a dialogfragment's textview from an activity in my android app.
What I'd like to do is to update the textview every second with a counter value and once the time elapsed, a Runnable closes the dialog fragment.
The dialog is closed once the time is elapsed, no problem but I cannot update the textview I want.
Here's my code for the dialog:
public class AlertDialog extends DialogFragment {
private String message = null;
private String title = null;
private ImageView imgV = null;
private TextView msgTv = null;
private TextView counterTv = null;
private Button okBtn = null;
private int imageId = 0;
public static int AUTOMATIC_CLOSE = 100001;
private AlertDialogListener mDialogListener;
public void setImage(int i){
imageId = i;
}
public void setContent(String ttl, String msg){
message = msg;
title = ttl;
}
public boolean hasContent(){
return message != null && title != null;
}
public AlertDialog(){
}
public void performClick(){
okBtn.performClick();
}
public void updateField(String text){
counterTv.setText(text);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog, container);
msgTv = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.textDialog);
imgV = (ImageView)v.findViewById(R.id.imageDialog);
counterTv = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.timeCounterDialog);
if(imageId != 0)
imgV.setImageResource(imageId);
else
imgV.setImageResource(R.drawable.error_icon);
if(hasContent()){
msgTv.setText(message);
getDialog().setTitle(title);
}
else{
getDialog().setTitle("ERROR");
msgTv.setText("An unexcepted error occured");
}
okBtn = (Button)v.findViewById(R.id.validateButton);
okBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mDialogListener != null){
mDialogListener.onFinishedDialog();
}
}
});
return v;
}
#Override
public void onStart() {
mDialogListener.onStartedDialog();
super.onStart();
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
mDialogListener = (AlertDialogListener) activity;
super.onAttach(activity);
}
#Override
public void onDetach() {
mDialogListener = null;
super.onDetach();
}
public interface AlertDialogListener{
void onStartedDialog();
void onFinishedDialog();
}
}
And this is how I launch it:
class myActivity extends Activity implements AlertDialogListener{
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
"""some init stuff"""
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
showAlertDialog();
}
}
#Override
public void onStartedDialog() {
AutoCloseRunnable mAutoClose = new AutoCloseRunnable();
mHandler.postDelayed(mAutoClose, 1000);
}
#Override
public void onFinishedDialog() {
this.finish();
}
private void showAlertDialog(){
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
mAlertDialog = new AlertDialog();
mAlertDialog.setContent("No Connection available", "Please enable your internet connection.");
mAlertDialog.setImage(R.drawable.error_icon);
mAlertDialog.show(fm, "fragment_alert");
}
private void updateAlertDialog(String text){
mAlertDialog.updateField(text);
}
private void autoCloseAlertDialog(){
mAlertDialog.performClick();
}
public class AutoCloseRunnable implements Runnable{
#Override
public void run() {
int closeCpt = 10;
while(closeCpt >= 0){
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
updateAlertDialog("Will close automatically in " + closeCpt + " seconds.");
closeCpt--;
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
autoCloseAlertDialog();
}
}
}
Does anyone know how to proceed?

I solved it, simply use asynctask it's easier to handle UI updates like this.
