Can an asynchronous call be made before the views are configured? - android

I'm trying to get JSON data to display in a RecyclerView list, but whenever I try to make the call it seems that the RecyclerView comes up empty. I have it set up so that I get the API service/manager in onCreate prior to the configViews() method which I wrote. Am I making the call too early? I thought the problem would be to create the views/adapter prior to the call, but it doesn't seem to be making a difference.
This is the code for the Retrofit call:
listCall.enqueue(new Callback<List<Character>>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<List<Character>> call, Response<List<Character>> response) {
if(response.isSuccessful()){
List<Character> characterList = response.body();
Log.v(TAG, response.toString());
for (int i = 0; i < characterList.size(); i++){
Character character = characterList.get(i);
character.setName(characterList.get(i).getName());
character.setDescription(characterList.get(i).getDescription());
characterAdapter.addCharacter(character);
}
configViews();
characterAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
else {
int sc = response.code();
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<List<Character>> call, Throwable t) {
}
});
And that configViews() method is here, albeit simpler than when I first started (I have been moving bits around to test whether they will affect inflation of the RecyclerView):
private void configViews() {
characterAdapter = new CharacterAdapter(this);
recyclerView.setAdapter(characterAdapter);
}
EDIT: Thank you all for your replies! As requested here is the Adapter class:
public class CharacterAdapter extends
RecyclerView.Adapter<CharacterAdapter.Holder> {
private static final String TAG = CharacterAdapter.class.getSimpleName();
private final CharacterClickListener clickListener;
private List<Character> characters;
//Constructor for CharacterAdapter.
public CharacterAdapter(CharacterClickListener listener){
characters = new ArrayList<>();
clickListener = listener;
}
//Inflates CardView layout
#Override
public Holder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View row =
LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row_item, parent,
false);
return new Holder(row);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(Holder holder, int position) {
Character currentCharacter = characters.get(position);
holder.name.setText(currentCharacter.getName());
holder.description.setText(currentCharacter.getDescription());
//Picasso loads image from URL
Picasso.with(holder.itemView.getContext())
.load("http://gateway.marvel.com/"+
currentCharacter.getThumbnail()).into(holder.thumbnail);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return characters.size();
}
public void addCharacter(Character character) {
//Log.d(TAG, character.getThumbnail());
characters.add(character);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public Character getSelectedCharacter(int position) {
return characters.get(position);
}
public class Holder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements
View.OnClickListener{
//Holder class created to be implemented by adapter.
private ImageView thumbnail;
private TextView name, description;
public Holder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
thumbnail = (ImageView)
itemView.findViewById(R.id.character_thumbnail);
name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.character_name);
description = (TextView)
itemView.findViewById(R.id.character_description);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
clickListener.onClick(getLayoutPosition());
}
}
public interface CharacterClickListener {
void onClick(int position);
}
}

In principle you have done the right thing. You can instantiate the views before and fire a fetch request. Once you receive the response, you can notify the adapter that the datatset has changed and the adapter will refresh your views.
The only correction here is, you need to call your configViews(); before the for loop. So your code should be like -
configViews();
for (int i = 0; i < characterList.size(); i++){
Character character = characterList.get(i);
character.setName(characterList.get(i).getName());
character.setDescription(characterList.get(i).getDescription());
characterAdapter.addCharacter(character);
}
characterAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Because right now what is happening is you add all your data using add character and then after that you again call config views which reinitialises your adapter at
characterAdapter = new CharacterAdapter(this);
Hence the empty views.
PS: I don't know your adapter's addCharacter method but i am hoping it is doing the right job. If it still doesn't work let me know and then add your addCharacter code as well.

Based on code the snippets, in configViews() method you are creating new instance of CharacterAdapter. The following code snippets will work.
private void configViews() {
//characterAdapter = new CharacterAdapter(this);
recyclerView.setAdapter(characterAdapter);
}

You should leave the call configViews() call in onCreate but move the rest of it into onResume. It'll achieve following:
Ensure views are ready to display data
Refresh data if your app was brought to background and re-opened

Show only certain items in recycleview according to condition

I have a recycleview showing a list of audio files fetched from my audios.json file hosted on my server. i have a model class with a getter method getLanguage() to see the audio language. I would like to show only audio files of users preference in recycle view. Say for example, if user wants only english and russian i would like to show only list of russian and english. How can we achieve this? Right now the entire list is displayed.
public class AudioAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<AudioAdapter.HomeDataHolder> {
int currentPlayingPosition = -1;
Context context;
ItemClickListener itemClickListener;
List<Output> wikiList;
public AudioAdapter(List<Output> wikiList, Context context) {
this.wikiList = wikiList;
this.context = context;
}
#NonNull
#Override
public HomeDataHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.audio_row_layout,viewGroup,false);
HomeDataHolder mh = new HomeDataHolder(view);
return mh;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final HomeDataHolder homeDataHolder, int i) {
String desc = wikiList.get(i).getLanguage() + " • " + wikiList.get(i).getType();
homeDataHolder.tvTitle.setText(wikiList.get(i).getTitle());
homeDataHolder.tvotherinfo.setText(desc);
homeDataHolder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (itemClickListener != null)
itemClickListener.onClick(view,homeDataHolder.getAdapterPosition());
}
});
homeDataHolder.rippleLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (itemClickListener != null)
itemClickListener.onClick(view,homeDataHolder.getAdapterPosition());
}
});
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return wikiList.size();
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
return position;
}
public void setClickListener(ItemClickListener itemClickListener) { // Method for setting clicklistner interface
this.itemClickListener = itemClickListener;
}
public class HomeDataHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
TextView tvTitle,tvotherinfo;
MaterialRippleLayout rippleLayout;
public HomeDataHolder(View v) {
super(v);
this.tvTitle = v.findViewById(R.id.title);
this.tvotherinfo = v.findViewById(R.id.audioDesc);
this.rippleLayout = v.findViewById(R.id.ripple);
}
}
}
The general idea for this should be:
you have one list with all items
you have filter rules selected by the user
You filter items from number 1, to see which ones match the constraints and store this in another list.
Then the recycler view only shows the items of the list from number 3.
This means that recycler view's getItemCount would return the size of the filtered list, not the whole list.
Instead of passing the wikiList as it is, filter it then send it:
Lets say that you filled up the wikiList, before passing it to the adapter, filter it like this:
In the activity that you initialize the adapter in:
public class YourActivity extends ............{
........
........
//your filled list
private List<Output> wikiList;
//filtered list
private List<Output> filteredList= new ArrayList<Output>();
//filters
private List<String> filters = new ArrayList<String>();
//lets say the user chooses the languages "english" and "russian" after a button click or anything (you can add as many as you want)
filters.add("english");
filters.add("russian");
//now filter the original list
for(int i = 0 ; i<wikiList.size() ; i++){
Output item = wikiList.get(i);
if(filters.contains(item.getLanguage())){
filteredList.add(item);
}
}
//now create your adapter and pass the filteredList instead of the wikiList
AudioAdapter adapter = new AudioAdapter(filteredList , this);
//set the adapter to your recyclerview........
......
.....
......
}
I use above "english" and "russian" for language. I don't know how they are set in your response, maybe you use "en" for "english" so be careful.

Load data from internet in RecyclerView.Adapter

I am getting movie data from the internet like its name, poster etc, but for the genres of the movie, I need to fetch it again from the net. So here's my solution for this problem.
public class MoviesViewAllAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MoviesViewAllAdapter.MoviesViewHolder> {
private Context mContext;
private List<MovieBrief> mMovies;
public MoviesViewAllAdapter(Context context, List<MovieBrief> movies) {
mContext = context;
mMovies = movies;
}
#Override
public MoviesViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
return new MoviesViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.item_movie_large,parent,false));
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MoviesViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.movieGenreTextView.setText("");
setGenres(holder, mMovies.get(position).getId());
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mMovies.size();
}
public class MoviesViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView movieGenreTextView;
public MoviesViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
movieGenreTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.text_view_genre_movie_card);
}
}
private void setGenres(final MoviesViewHolder holder, Integer movieId) {
ApiInterface apiService = ApiClient.getClient().create(ApiInterface.class);
Call<Movie> call = apiService.getMovieDetails(movieId,mContext.getResources().getString(R.string.MOVIE_DB_API_KEY));
call.enqueue(new Callback<Movie>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<Movie> call, Response<Movie> response) {
if(response.code() != 200) return;
List<Genre> genresList = response.body().getGenres();
String genres = "";
for (int i=0;i<genresList.size();i++) {
if(i == genresList.size()-1) {
genres = genres.concat(genresList.get(i).getGenreName());
}
else {
genres = genres.concat(genresList.get(i).getGenreName()+", ");
}
}
holder.movieGenreTextView.setText(genres);
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<Movie> call, Throwable t) {
}
});
}
}
But here problem is that when performing fling and going up the recyclerview the genres which are showing is not related to the movie, the genres which are loading are random.
May be because I am loading data on onBindViewHolder and when holder disappears from screen it loads into random holder. Is it so ?
I believe your problem is that you are getting the entire movie list every time you create a view in your list. I am not sure how the server is returning that data but my guess is that every time you call the server there is no guarantee that the data is in the same order. You are getting a random order every time but trying to extract a fixed position of it and that is why the genres are not related.
The problematic line is onBindViewHolder which is called every time a view is created and this function is calling setGenres which is getting a new movie list which is in random order.
You can do two things to fix this issue:
Search for the movie first, find its index and then use that to get the genre. But this is still a very bad design since for a list of N movies, you are calling the server N times.
Get the list first, store it as an ArrayList in your Adapter. Now iterate through it without having to call the server each time
public class MoviesViewAllAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MoviesViewAllAdapter.MoviesViewHolder> {
.
.
.
List<Movie> list = new ArrayList<>;
public void setList(List movies){
//get data from server before creating the adapter. call this on your adapter and store the data here
this.list = movies;
}
private void setGenres(final MoviesViewHolder holder, Integer movieId){
//iterate the field list instead of calling the server
}
.
.
.
}
The problem with the wrong genres being displayed is caused by the recycling of the view/holder preformed by the RecyclerView . When you scroll instances of MoviesViewHolder and the view are reused so when you trigger the loading of a Movie details a ViewHolder is associated to a MovieRef but by the time the call to get the movie details ends the holder is now assigned to a different movie.
The best thing to do in my opinion is to load the Movie details and cache them in a map for example HashMap<Integer, Movie> mMoviesDetails; when the call to the API ends you can store the Movie object in there.
public void onResponse(Call<Movie> call, Response<Movie> response) {
if(response.code() != 200) return;
mMoviesDetails.put(movieId, response.body());
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
Then in your adapter you can change the onBindViewHolder to something like the below :
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MoviesViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.movieGenreTextView.setText("");
Movie movie = mMoviesDetails.get(mMovies.get(position).getId());
if(movie != null){
/// set data to holder
}else {
//load data from network
loadGenres(mMovies.get(position).getId());
}
}
This is just sample code based on your current implementation, generally speaking I would not load this data inside an Adapter but delegate this type of tasks to a dedicated API class that can store the data in a database like Realm for example instead of using a map.

How to implement Infinite Scrolling with RecyclerView?

I have a recycler and inside of it there are cardviews where I fetch information from a REST service, I'm trying to implement an endless scroll, It's supposed that user will see 10 cardviews every time he scrolls down until there are no more cardviews to show, How can I achieve that?
I've seen a few examples but none of them really helped me about how to do it. I don't even know what I need to put in adapter.class or in my Fragment.class because I don't understand how to implement that, it would be great if someone could tell me the correct way to implement the infinite scroll in my code...
Thanks in advance.

you can refresh using SwipeRefreshLayout in android to refresh and in the on refresh override method call your api
note:put your API call request in a method and call that method inyour onRefresh method of SwipeRefreshLayout
When writing RecyclerView.Adapter, you anyway need to provide the getItemCount method that returns the correct number of items (may be large). RecyclerView will call on its own initiative the onBindViewHolder(holder, position) method of this adapter. All you need is to provide functionality of retrieving data, relevant to this position. There is no difference at all, if your list is smaller than screen, slightly larger than screen or Integer.MAX_VALUE size. RecyclerView will take care not to fetch/allocate too much extra items.
You do not need to implement scroll listeners or otherwise explicitly handle the scrolling.
The only tricky part is that you may need to take a long action like server call to get some items. Then just return uninitialized holder (empty view) on the first invocation and start fetching the needed row in the background thread. When you have it, call notifyDataSetChanged or notifyItemRangeChanged, and RecyclerView will take care to update itself.
For performance reasons I would strongly recommend to update content in chunks of the fixed size rather than sending individual server request per every row displayed. For some public servers like Google Books this is clearly a requirement, as they have quota limits per request.
If you need to view the full source code on how this possibly could be implemented, there is an open source project here in GitHub.
Make a static boolean variable named "ready" and initialize it to false.
Add the if ready condition in the onLoadMore method as below.
public boolean onLoadMore(int page, int totalItemsCount) {
if (ready) {
//load more from API
}
return false;
}
set ready to true in onBindViewHolder when the position of item is last.
Here is a way that a colleague of mine introduced. we worked in it together and i implemented it successfully with no issues. I wanted to give back to anyone having this issue.
in your adapter you need to set the count to be infinite size and then when you want the position of an item you should use val loopPos = position % dataSource.size anytime you need the position. lets take a look how this can be done in a recyclerView adapter but could also be applied to FragmentStatePagerAdapter.
class InfiniteLoopingHorizontalRecyclerViewAdapter(var dataSource: ArrayList<String>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
val inflatedView: View = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
.inflate(R.layout.your_finite_layout, parent, false)
return ItemHolder(inflatedView)
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return Integer.MAX_VALUE //***** this should be high enough - wink wink ******
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
//****** this is critical here when you need the position use the loopPos ****/
val loopPos = position % dataSource.size
(holder as? ItemHolder)?.bind(dataSource[loopPos], loopPos)
}
inner class ItemHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
fun bind(myString: String, position: Int) = with(itemView) {
myTextView.setText(myString)
}
}
}
how it works:
lets say your dataSource size is 50 but your position is at 51 that means the following: 51%50 . which gives you position 1. and lets say again your position is 57 and again your dataSource size is still 50. that means your position is 7. so to be clear, anytime you need a infinite affect you can use the modules of the position and the dataSource size.
ps:
lets go crazy and say we scrolled to position 11323232323214 then that means 11323232323214%50 = 14 so its position 14 in your datasource that will be used. you can then polish off the affect with wrapping your recyclerview in a SnapHelper class
You can add a scrollListener to your recyclerview.
Check a similar answer here
And the main SO post here
Where, the scrollListener will check where exactly are you in the recyclerview and based on some logic (which you can flexibly write) make a second call!

Recyclerview displays sometimes "null", sometimes my data

I have a problem with my Recyclerview and I can not find a solution to resolve it. Indeed, my Recyclerview is supposed to display data received from an external database. But sometimes, it displays the data, sometimes not.
This is the screenshots of my app :
When data are displayed
When data are not displayed
And this is my Adapter's code :
public class UpcomingLessonAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<UpcomingLessonAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private List<Lesson> lessons;
private LayoutInflater inflater;
public UpcomingLessonAdapter(List<Lesson> lessons, Context context) {
this.lessons = lessons;
inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View itemView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.upcoming_lesson_list_view, parent, false);
itemView.setLayoutParams(new RecyclerView.LayoutParams(RecyclerView.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RecyclerView.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
return new UpcomingLessonAdapter.ViewHolder(itemView);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
final Lesson lesson = lessons.get(position);
String lessonTopic = "<font color='#E166E1'>" + lesson.getTopicTitle() + "</font>";
String userName = "<font color='#E166E1'>" + lesson.getUserName() + "</font>";
holder.lessonTopic.setText(Html.fromHtml(lesson.getTime(lesson.getTimeStart()) + " " + lessonTopic));
holder.lessonTeacher.setText(Html.fromHtml("avec " + userName));
holder.lessonDuration.setText(lesson.getDuration());
holder.lessonDay.setText(lesson.getDay(lesson.getTimeStart()));
holder.lessonMonth.setText(lesson.getMonth(lesson.getTimeStart()));
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return lessons.size();
}
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
TextView lessonTopic, lessonTeacher, lessonDuration, lessonDay, lessonMonth;
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
lessonTopic = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.lesson_topic_text_view);
lessonTeacher = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.lesson_teacher_text_view);
lessonDuration = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.lesson_duration_text_view);
lessonDay = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.lessson_day_text_view);
lessonMonth = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.lesson_month_text_view);
}
}
}
And this the method in my fragment when I create the recyclerview :
public void displayUpcomingLessonListView() {
upcomingLessonRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.upcoming_lesson);
upcomingLessonAdapter = new UpcomingLessonAdapter(upcomingLessons, getContext());
upcomingLessonLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getContext());
upcomingLessonRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(upcomingLessonLayoutManager);
upcomingLessonRecyclerView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
upcomingLessonRecyclerView.setAdapter(upcomingLessonAdapter);
}
Is there anyone who can give me some advice ? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
EDIT
This the method by which I fetch my data :
public void getLessonInfos(final int lessonId, final int index, final List<Lesson> lessons) {
Call<JsonResponse> call = service.getLessonInfos(lessonId, user.getEmail(), user.getToken());
call.enqueue(new Callback<JsonResponse>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<JsonResponse> call, Response<JsonResponse> response) {
lessons.get(index).setUserName(response.body().getUserName());
lessons.get(index).setTopicTitle(response.body().getTopicTitle());
lessons.get(index).setTopicGroupTitle(response.body().getTopicGroupTitle());
lessons.get(index).setLevel(response.body().getLevelTitle());
lessons.get(index).setDuration(response.body().getDuration().getHours(), response.body().getDuration().getMinutes());
lessons.get(index).setStatus(response.body().getLessonStatus());
if (upcomingLessons.size() > 0) {
if (lessonId == upcomingLessons.get(upcomingLessons.size() - 1).getLessonId()) {
displayUpcomingLessonListView();
}
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<JsonResponse> call, Throwable t) {
}
});
}
Use ternary operator like
holder.lessonDuration.setText(lesson.getDuration()!=null?lesson.getDuration():"");
try {
ResponseBody response = call.execute().body();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Alright when you invoke methods asynchronously , the network makes a request then , waits for a response. The latency or rather rather time will vary based on your connection speed(bytes per second) or rather your data-set(lots of data ,take time to process). Therefore the reason why your code sometime works is because some time the request and response time is fast enough to update your data in time.The snippet above remove the aforementioned method ,thus divorcing the concept of waiting for response. It makes a request synchronously and gets a response immediately. There is no wait time, the only time waited is the time to get the data from what ever source it is stored, process such data, transform it and send it off.

How should I initialize an array inside RecyclerView Adapter which has the size of a list while the list will not available on Adapter construction?

I have a RecyclerView that will contain list of item retrieved from the internet. So at first, the list will be empty. After the data retrieved from the internet, it will update the list and call notifyDataSetChanged().
I can adapt the data into the RecyclerView just fine. But, I have an ImageButton for each of item which has different Image if it's clicked. If I initialize the flags array inside onBindViewHolder, each time I scrolled the RecyclerView, the flag array will be reinitialize to false. If I initialize it in the Adapter constructor, it will be 0 index since the list will be empty at first. Where should I put array initializing in adapter if the data will come at some amount of time later?
Below is my code, but the flag array (isTrue) is always reinitialize each time I scrolled my RecyclerView.
public class SomethingAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<SomethingAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private ArrayList<String> someList;
private boolean[] isTrue;
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView someText;
public ImageButton someButton;
public ViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
someText = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.text);
someButton = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.button);
}
}
public SomethingAdapter(ArrayList<String> someList) {
this.someList = someList;
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.some_layout, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(v);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder viewHolder, final int position) {
//TODO: This thing will make isTrue always reinitialize if scrolled
this.isTrue = new boolean[someList.getResults().size()];
viewHolder.someText.setText(someList.get(position));
if (isTrue[position]) {
viewHolder.someButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.button_true);
} else {
viewHolder.someButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.button_false);
}
viewHolder.someButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (isTrue[position]) {
//Connect to the internet and if response is positive {
//isTrue[position] = false;
//viewHolder.someButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.button_false);

Initialize it when you add items to someList.
Also, don't add click listener in your onBind, create it in onCreateViewHolder. You cannot use position in the click callback, instead you should be using ViewHolder#getAdapterPosition.
See docs for details:
