Develop Reference

Viewpager operations triggered on wrong reference

I am having a Viewpager where i am loading data of different categories. I want to show a custom dialog popup whenever user stays on a particular category for 5 seconds or more asking the user if he/she wants to share the content. For that i have used a custom dialog and am hiding/showing based on the condition.
But the problem is, that if i want to open the dialog if the user stays on Viewpager item at position let's say 3, the dialog is opening for the Viewpager item at position 4.
I am not sure why it's referencing the wrong Viewpager item.
I am including the code of Adapter class for the reference.

Issue reason:
You face this issue because the viewpager preload fragments in background. It means that when you see 3rd fragment, the viewpager is instantiating 4th. Due to this workflow your timer for 3rd screen is cancelled and timer for 4th screen is started. Check out this link to understand what is going on.
Solution:
I would do next:
Then set page change listener for your adapter. How to do it
In this listener you can get current page and start timer for this page (and cancel timer for previously visible page).
You don't need to call startTimer() method when you instantiate item in instantiateItem() method.

Bug: Slider Appearing Every time using viewpager

i am making a slider walkthrough which is introduced in the app for the first item when the user clicks the app....and it is gone when the user again open it.
like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va2IRW_e7_w
the problem is that i am regaining it again and again whenever i opent the app, its a small mistake and i can't find it.
Main2Activity:
public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button next, skip;
private ViewPagerAdapter adapter;
private ViewPager viewPager;
private SliderWalkthrough sliderWalkthrough;
private int[] layouts;
private TextView[] dots;
private LinearLayout dotsLayout;

} else {
next.setText("NEXT");

}
}

}
private void addButtonDots(int position) {
dots = new TextView[layouts.length];
int[] colorActive = getResources().getIntArray(R.array.active_dot);
int[] colorInactive = getResources().getIntArray(R.array.inactive_dot);
dotsLayout.removeAllViews();
for (int i = 0; i < dots.length; i++) {
dots[i] = new TextView(this);
dots[i].setTextSize(30);
dots[i].setTextColor(colorInactive[position]);
dotsLayout.addView(dots[i]);
}
if (dots.length > 0) {
dots[position].setTextColor(colorActive[position]);
}
}
}
SliderWalkthrough:
public class SliderWalkthrough {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
SharedPreferences.Editor editor;
Context context;
public SliderWalkthrough(Context context) {
this.context = context;
sharedPreferences=context.getSharedPreferences("first",0);
editor=sharedPreferences.edit();
}
public void setFirst(Boolean firstTime){
editor.putBoolean("check",firstTime);
editor.commit();
}
public boolean Check()
{
return sharedPreferences.getBoolean("check",true);
}
}

You need to change the preference value to false once your walk-through is finished otherwise if (!sliderWalkthrough.Check()) { will never be executed and walk-through will be shown everytime
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
addButtonDots(position);
if (position == layouts.length - 1) {
next.setText("GET STARTED");
skip.setVisibility(View.GONE);
sliderWalkthrough.setFirst(false);
//^^^^^^ add this case
}
else {
next.setText("NEXT");
skip.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
Note : remove sliderWalkthrough.setFirst(false); , no longer required
if (!sliderWalkthrough.Check()) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Main2Activity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}

Why is this implementation of parcelables to save and restore Custom Arraylist not Working

I am fetching data from json with Volley and populating RecyclerView with the parsed data but I ran into a bit of problem:
The call to get the items is in onCreate method, so the call is repeated each time the activity is recreated both from configuration changes and otherwise; hence the data is reloaded. So I found this answer that uses parcelables
and this article on Codepath (still on parcelables). After I have followed the instructions explicitly (or so I feel), there seems to be no change: the call to get data is repeated each time the activity is recreated.

I may not be a pro but I know that I have goofed somewhere in the codes above, else it should have worked.
Now, my question is where did I goof and how do I plug this mistake?
EDIT
I have edited the codes above to reflect the answer that I accepted. It works fine but there is still a problem.
I start Activity B from MainActivity. If I press the back-button in Activity B the data is saved but when I press the up-button, the getData is called again and the data is re-fetched.
Please, is there anyway around this?

You don't seem to have an onSaveInstanceState in your mainactivity. You need something like
#Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState (Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putParcelableArrayList(KEY_POST_ITEMS,mFruitItemsList) ;
}

In order to retain your data for the activity that is about to be destructed and the one that is being created, you need to override the onSaveInstance callback
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
savedInstanceState.putParcelableArrayList(KEY_POST_ITEMS, (ArrayList)mFruitItemsList);
super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
}
NOTE: always remember to call the superclass.

Android kankan-wheel modification

I am making a slot machine app and using kankan's wheel for the same. I want to modify the library such that when the rotation stops the item it will point shoud be the one that I set . I have done this but there is a glitch that shows that we have changed the actual image to the one that we want . How to achieve this?
Update:
I have researched a lot on this and if I am right , android scroll is based on duration and distance not items . From kankan's wheel library I can get current item .Now , I am trying to stop the animation as well as scroll , as soon as a certain duration has been reached and the item is the one that I want (through index) . But this is not working .Please help!!

This is the code. Through this code, when slot stops I want it to scroll some more untill it reaches the image position that I receaved from server. I can do this .But this is providing a lil glitch . Is there any way to stop scrolling when the image is reached as soon as certain duration is reached.
P.S. If you need anymore detail I can provide you.
P.P.S. Screenshots wont give you any detailed insight about the issue.

After days of searching I finally did it.All I had to do was set interpolater as LinearInterpolater and While setting setCurrentItem set animation as true.

ProgressDialog not showing up despite show() is called

I've got a strange problem, a Dialog being created and called for "show()" but not being visible in my activity...
The thing is it goes through the call "show", I've seen it in the debugger, but nothing...
here is the code:

and the function called up:
private void showProgressDialog(int _items) {

#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
super.handleMessage(msg);
myPd_bar.setProgress(msg.what + 1);
}
};
myPd_bar = new ProgressDialog(Intro.this);
myPd_bar.setMessage("Loading....");
myPd_bar.setTitle("Please Wait..");
myPd_bar.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
myPd_bar.setProgress(0);
myPd_bar.setMax(_items);
**myPd_bar.show();**
}
what am I doing bad...?

It is possible that your dialog is getting dismissed before it appears. Basically your loop is not going long enough for the view to appear.
Have you tried to comment out the dismiss line and see if it appear then?

Finally I realized. I was holding the activity thread in the spinner so it won't show anything until it finishes!
here is my solution, using an asyntask (properly, I was using them badly on the playlist load, and blocking)
protected void setupDialog() {
handle = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
super.handleMessage(msg);
if (msg.what < 0){
loadPlayLists(playListsNames, playListsThumbs);
myPd_bar.dismiss();
} else {
myPd_bar.setProgress(msg.what + 1);
}
}
};
myPd_bar = new ProgressDialog(Intro.this);
myPd_bar.setMessage(WAIT_MESSAGE);
myPd_bar.setTitle(WAIT_TITLE);
myPd_bar.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
myPd_bar.setProgress(0);
}
protected void initializeSpinners() {
spnPlayLists = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spnLists);
spnProviders = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spnProvider);
spnProviders.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> _spinner, View _parent,
int _pos, long _id) {
if (_spinner == spnProviders) {
String[] playListsId = core.getAllPlayListsFrom(_pos);
int items = playListsId.length;
myPd_bar.setMax(items);
myPd_bar.show();
new AsyncTask<String[], Integer, Long>(){
#Override
protected Long doInBackground(String[]... _playListsId) {
int items = _playListsId[0].length;
playListsNames = new String[items];
playListsThumbs = new String[items];
playLists = new PlayList[items];
for (int i = 0; i < items; i++) {
String id = _playListsId[0][i];
PlayList playList = core.getPlayList(id, true);
playLists[i] = playList;
playListsNames[i] = playList.title;
playListsThumbs[i] = playList.thumb;
publishProgress(i);
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... _progress) {
handle.sendEmptyMessage(_progress[0]);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Long _result) {
handle.sendEmptyMessage(-1);
}
}.execute(playListsId);
}
}
#Override
