}
}
if default in Fragment its running perfectly and no problem, but when im try using activity all data not load.

I can't see any code that would run when the activity is created. You have an onCreateView method (which I am guessing you are carrying over from your Fragment based implementation). Unless somewhere in your code (which I cannot see how) you are calling that method, it never gets called since it is not part of the Activity lifecycle. I would copy over the entire code from that method to onCreate method (as a starting point) and delete the method. I would then make the following changes to the first few lines
// View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_list, container, false);
// Noticed that I commented out the above line and changed the line below
final ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
I am not suggesting that this will solve all of your problems as there might be (likely) other issues, but you should potentially be the first step. I strongly suggest you get more familiar with the Activity and Fragment classes and become more comfortable with their lifecycles. Also, you should get rid of
public RekomendasiExercise() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
Best of luck

Listview setonitemclicklistener

I've looked up similar post regarding this question but they didn't solve my issue, so here it is.
I'm trying to set a setOnItemClickListener, for when I click on any item of my list I will open a dialog with the info (retrieve from the list) on the clicked list and more info. But i'm struggling to implement the setOnItemClickListener part.
I'm getting and error in line: myList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()){

Thank you for your time

It think you want something like this.
myList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int
position, long id)
{
// You have the position available here as well as the clicked view.
}
});

You need to actual define the OntItemClickListener to do something.
First, the code you have doesn't make much sense. You want something like this:
myList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3)
{
// Your code here
}
});
Basically you are creating your own OnItemClickListener class, and overriding the OnItemClick method. This callback will get called whenever an item in your list is clicked. You can do whatever processing you would like inside that function.

How can I delete an item from an online database via android application?

I started to develop Android recently and I'm having difficulty in solving a thing probably much simpler than what I think.
I am creating a CRUD application that communicates with an online database, I can read and enter data, unfortunately I can't delete and modify the list once it is created.
To manage the data that use JSON and the row in the list that I add is made up of three fields: animal_id, animal_name, animal_type.
The activity data on which I read and on which I want to implement methods to modify and delete via listener is formed by the following code:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;

When i click on a list Item, the listener show me the object in this format:
{animal_type=firstType, animal_name=firstName, animal_id=1}
So my question is:
How can I collect only animal_id from the array animalList > ?

Your animalList is an array list with HashMaps as its elements, so when you call animalList.get(position), it will return a HashMap. To retrieve an animal_id just use :
(animalList.get(position)).get(animal_id).toString();

you have to create a Modelclass/Pojo Class (Private variable and getters and setters) for Animals,
ArrayList<AnimalModel> animalsArrayList = new ArrayList<AnimalModel>();
add the Animals object/data to animalsArrayList and listview.setAdapter(animalsArrayList);
then
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Object object = speakerListView.getItemAtPosition(position);
AnimalModel animals_data = (AnimalModel) object;
id = animals_data.getAnimal_id()
// call delete Async with thid Id
}
});

You code looks pretty messy. If I were you I would create a Custom Adapter that extends the base adapter and takes as a parameter either a hashmap or a list that you pass in the constructor. There you can have different listeners. Also if you want to notify the activity you can have the "luxury" to pass an interface as a parameter and notify the activity when something changes.
Regarding the json part, I would create two new classes, one which is a Thread Manager that receives tasks and handles them further and another class where u make the http calls and the json parsing.
I have done a similar application that receives data from a nebula interface and displays them to the user.

Android list view current position doesn't work properly

I'm Getting data from my database and pushing them into ListView to view all the data.
Inside my ListView I also have a TextView with the text "Like" in it. Now when I click the like text it will change to "Liked" and I'm updating my like status in my database.
Now my problem is that when i click the "Like" text, the text changes to "Liked" and also it is updated in DB. But also when I scroll through the List View, I can notice other lists' Like text is also changed to Liked. I'm not sure what's going wrong.
I've been trying to get around this problem for quite some days but had no success.
This is my adapter code. At the bottom you can see my onClickListener for the textview

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The problem you're having is that the ListView widget recycles its views if it can. Once a view is off the screen from scrolling, it goes onto a garbage heap so that when a new view scrolls into place it can be reused, rather than requiring a fresh one to be inflated from scratch. That recycled view is the convertView parameter in the getView() method. When your ListView is first populating, convertView will always be null, since the garbage pile has nothing in it, so you're forced to inflate new views, but subsequent calls will likely have that parameter as non-null.
The practical result of this is that when a clicked view that's been set to "Liked" gets recycled, the TextView is still there and still populated with "Liked" rather than the presumed default of "Like". So if you click a view, then scroll down so it goes off the screen, it'll come back around and cause the bug you're seeing.
What you'll probably want to do to fix this is to set the text of likeText within getView() every time, based on what it is in your database. If the post has been liked, set it to "Liked", and if it hasn't, set it to "Like". It should just be one more line, assuming you have easy access to whether or not the post is liked from your DiscussionList object.
P.S. As a side note, hard-coded strings are typically frowned upon in Android, so you may want to move your "Liked" string into the resource files. It's not really necessary unless you're planning to do translations, but it's still good practice.

Out-of-sync ArrayAdapter with Autocomplete

I have 3 classes, I wish to use the autocomplete text box to show user certain data (aka cities) from a web service (rest api). I've used this implementation on various features of my own application, but for some reason, there's a synchronization problem within the textchangedlistener...
CitiesArrayAdapter.java (to show a different view, in my case the "city, state"):

if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = inflater.inflate(viewResourceId, null);
}
City i = cities.get(position);
Log.d(TAG, "Here is my value: " + i);
if (i != null) {
TextView tt = (TextView) v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);

I get the correct result and all. But my service doesn't seem to populate my array adapter in my activity, when I try to show my first "city", my adapter contains nothing. I wonder if I have to put a notifydatasetchanged (I tried, but doesn't work). I'm kind of confuse... any pointers?
While debugging the application I noticed that the properties mObjects of
the ArrayAdapter is cleared even if the associated ArrayList has
elements, and then properties mOriginalValues is filled with the
Strings loaded the first time.

Without seeing the full code base(+ data), I don't know if someone can pin point the reason for your code's failure. But I think the problem comes more from the way you setup the whole auto complete related code than some obvious line error. Below I'll try to address some of this issues(from my point of view) :
First of all, in the TextWatcher from LiftSearchActivity you call the getCities() method which adds, each time the user modifies the auto complete text, a Fragment to the Activity. I really doubt you want this, you should probably look at having only one Fragment in the Activity on which to call a refresh(or update) method, passing it the new filter text. If the user rotates the phone those fragments will also be recreated because of the configuration change.
Second, in the CitiesResponderFragment class you call the fragment's getCities() method(if you don't have any data) in onActivityCreated which start an update service(?!). Now related to the first point, you could end up doing a lot of unnecessary queries, for example if the user enter 4 characters and then decides to delete one of the characters as it was incorrect you'll end up with 5 added fragments, from which 3 will make the service start/query for data.
And last, I'm not sure if you understand how the AutoCompleteTextView works under the hood. In order to provide the drop down with the suggestions the AutoCompleteTextView widget will filter its adapter(adapter.getFilter()) and show as suggestions the items that match the filter. I don't know if you set some threshold on the AutoCompleteTextView but initially the auto complete will be empty for the first 3 characters entered as you start with an empty list of items when you first setup the Activity. The first two characters will not show anything because you start with an empty list and you don't add any new fragments(charSequence.length() < 2). The third character will most likely also not show anything, because the overhead of creating the fragment, starting the service and fetching the data will almost for sure be greater then doing the work of the adapter filtering(which will still see the initially empty list). I don't know if you tested, but from this fourth character the adapter should have some elements in it and the filtering should show something. Clearing the adapter and adding new data in it willl only make that data available to the next character entered in the AutoCompleteTextView.
The proper way of doing the filtering would be to further extend your adapter and implement the getFilter() method to return your own Filter implementation which would query the data store for new filtered items. The filtering method runs on a background thread, with a little work I think you could implement your current logic with the Service and the REST callback.

See example of the REST API Autocomplete : https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/rockitsearch-android/
Although it is part of my service, it can also serve as an example of how you can integrate your own REST API in AutoCompleteTextView control. If you are interested in autocomplete 3rd party service, here you go : www.rockitsearch.com
