Listview refresh while fetching data from server

I have been working on an android project where I need to fetch data from server and display in a listview. The first retrieval is done successfully but from second retrieval onwards the fetched data's are placed below the previously fetched data. How can I refresh the listview to view the fetched data in the listview? The codes I used are given below.

Instead of having add(Contacts object) in your adapter, have a method where you clear the current items in the list and update with the newly retrieved items.
private void updateContactList(List<Contacts> updatedList) {
list.clear();
list.addAll(updatedList);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
and inside parseJSON(String json)
List<Contacts> newList = new ArrayList<>();
while (count < jsonArray.length()) {
JSONObject jo = jsonArray.getJSONObject(count);
name = jo.getString("Medical");
contacts = new Contacts(name);
newList.add(contacts);
count++;
}
contactAdapter.updateContactList(newList);

The new data is being shown after the old data because you are adding new data to the existing one in parseJSON().
If you want to replace the old data with new one then remove these lines from onCreateView and add inside parseJSON(), right after while loop.
contactAdapter = new ContactAdapter(myContext, R.layout.row_layout);
listView.setAdapter(contactAdapter);

JSON not loading into listview correctly - Android

I receive a JSON array from the server that looks like this,
[{"id":"3","name":"Spanish 101","uid":"54f22e5c87cbd3.52439435","did":"fba6a04d1d6375fbdbb102953e984002"},

I want to take this information and put it into a listview

I am currently only trying to place the name into the listview, when I run this code what happens is only the first array gets put into the listview. So there is only one list item and it has the name Spanish 101.
Why aren't the other array names being put into the listview?

This is how i deal with ListView and CustomAdapter
in onCreate() of Activity
//Photos Model List
photoList = new ArrayList<Photos>();
//ListView
lvGalleryPhotos = (ListView) parentView.findViewById(R.id.lvGalleryPhotos);
//My CustomAdapter
pgAdapter = new PhotoGalleryAdapter(photoList, getSherlockActivity());
//Setting adapter to GridView
lvGalleryPhotos.setAdapter(pgAdapter);
//Parsing JSON
for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
//each result contains details about a image
JSONObject result = results.getJSONObject(i);
//Real Parsing
int width = result.getInt("width");
int height = result.getInt("height");
String title = result.getString("titleNoFormatting");
String url = result.getString("unescapedUrl");
//Make it workable so replace \u003d with =
String tbUrl = result.getString("tbUrl").replace("\u003d", "=");
//Creating photo object and inserting all collected information into it.
Photos photo = new Photos();
photo.setHeight(height);
photo.setWidth(width);
photo.setTitle(title);
photo.setURL(url);
photo.setTbUrl(tbUrl);
//Adding each Photo Object to PhotoList
photoList.add(photo);
}
//Informing that data has changed
pgAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
My Custom Adapter
public class PhotoGalleryAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
ImageLoader mImageLoader;
List<Photos> photoList;
Context mContext;
BlowIt blw;
LayoutInflater mLInflater;
public PhotoGalleryAdapter(List<Photos> photoList,Context mContext){
this.photoList = photoList;
this.mContext = mContext;
blw = new BlowIt(mContext);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return photoList.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return photoList.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
//Creating layout inflater
if(mLInflater==null){
mLInflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
//Inflating Layout
if(convertView==null){
convertView = mLInflater.inflate(R.layout.gallery_single_photo,parent,false);
}
//Getting Object
final Photos photo = photoList.get(position);
//Single Image
NetworkImageView nivGalleryPhoto = (NetworkImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.nivGalleryPhoto);
TextView tvPhotoName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tvPhotoName);
TextView tvPhotoDesc = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tvPhotoDesc);
final String photoDescr = photo.getHeight()+"x"+photo.getWidth();
nivGalleryPhoto.setImageUrl(photo.getTbUrl(), mImageLoader);
tvPhotoName.setText(photo.getTitle());
tvPhotoDesc.setText(photoDescr);
convertView.setTag(photo);
convertView.setId(position);
//This will trigger when ever the user clicks on a specific image
convertView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//This will prompt automatically context menu
v.showContextMenu();
}
});
return convertView;
}
}
and the layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/llPhotosFragmentRoot"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lvGalleryPhotos"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
></ListView>
</LinearLayout>
and the gallery_single_photo.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<!-- <com.android.volley.toolbox.NetworkImageView -->
<com.android.volley.toolbox.NetworkImageView
android:id="#+id/nivGalleryPhoto"
android:layout_height="90dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:contentDescription="#string/dummy_desc"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvPhotoName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/nivGalleryPhoto"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/nivGalleryPhoto"
android:text="Large Text"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvPhotoDesc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/tvPhotoName"
android:layout_below="#+id/tvPhotoName"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textSize="13sp"
android:textColor="#color/border_black" />
</RelativeLayout>
and all the above codes can make a listView with items like this

Use ViewHolder design pattern in your getView(...):
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = convertView;
ViewHolder holder;
if(v == null) {
LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
v = li.inflate(R.layout.app_custom_list, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.titleText = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.titleTxt);
v.setTag(holder);
}
else
holder = (ViewHolder) v.getTag()
Application app = items.get(position);
if(app != null) {
if(titleText != null)
holder.titleText.setText(app.getTitle());
}
return v;
}
static class ViewHolder {
TextView titleText;
}

Images randomly change

I have the following issue :
I'm having a GridView which displays alot of ImageViews , If I start scrolling the Items randomly start to change so there are wrong images at wrong positions and they start swapping everytime from position to position.

Android Add Above Custom Listview

I'm new to Android so struggling to learn best practices etc and working mainly with tutorials.
I have my app doing what I want it to do using a custom listview. My problem is understanding exactly how it works as there is not an actual listview in the code.
What I want to do is add a container above the listview, but everything I have tried just doesn't seem to work and with it being a custom adapter, I'm struggling to find many resources.
Here is my fragment:

If somebody can point me in the right direction I'd be so grateful.

I'm now getting a null pointer exception on the set adapter command - I'm a little unsure where to debug from here. I'm assuming it means the list is null?

ListFragment comes with a ListView, a ProgressBar (displayed till you write setListShown(true);) and a TextView (which is shown when the ListView has no items.
If you want to add anything above ListView, the easy way to do that is to replace ListFragment with Fragment and inflating your own XML. Like below:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);
}
And setting up your fields and populating data in onActivityCreated(), like:
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
Log.v("created", "onActivityCreated()");
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) getView().findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
mListView = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.listView1);
mTvEmpty = (TextView) getView().findViewById(R.id.tv_empty);
// load your data to your mListView
}
Edit:
Update your onPostExecute() to:
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Log.e(TAG, result);
try {
obj = new JSONObject(result);
stories = obj.getJSONArray("stories");
// initialize the items list
mItems = new ArrayList<ListViewItem>();
for (int i = 0; i < stories.length(); i++) {
JSONObject storyObj = stories.getJSONObject(i);
if (!storyObj.has("Advert")) {
newsStories newsStories = new newsStories();
newsStories.setTitle(storyObj.getString("subject"));
newsStories.setBody(storyObj.getString("body"));
mItems.add(new ListViewItem(newsStories.getTitle(), newsStories.getBody(), ""));
}
else {
newsStories newsStories = new newsStories();
newsStories.setThumbnailUrl(storyObj.getString("Advert"));
mItems.add(new ListViewItem("", "", newsStories.getThumbnailUrl()));
}
// initialize and set the list adapter
//setListAdapter(new ListViewDemoAdapter(getActivity(), mItems));
}
//mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) getView().findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
ListView mListView = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.listView2);
//mTvEmpty = (TextView) getView().findViewById(R.id.textView);
Log.d("mListView: ", String.valueOf(mListView));
ArrayAdapter<ListViewItem> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<ListViewItem>(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mItems);
Log.d("Adapter: ", String.valueOf(adapter));
// load your data to your mListView
mListView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
You were creating adapter even if mItems was null (putting it after catch would run it always).

How to load images using android baseadapter?

My project works without error, but upon loading, images are not loaded in the Listview.

If you simply want to load images in a list view, I would recommend you to use Picasso
Its simple, fast and does nearly everything automatically for you. You also don't have to care about canceling request on activity destroy. So I guess this would be the best start for you, if you simply want to load images into a ImageView in a ListView.
for instance in your adapter you could use:
Picasso.with(context)
.load(url)
.placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
.error(R.drawable.error)
.into(imageView);
Where imageview is the ImageView of your listview cell

Use universal image loader library and then following way
---------------------------------------------------------
1 - options = new DisplayImageOptions.Builder()
.showStubImage(R.drawable.physicalgift_normal)
.cacheInMemory()
.cacheOnDisc()
.displayer(new RoundedBitmapDisplayer(10))
.build();
imageLoader=ImageLoader.getInstance();
ImageLoaderConfiguration imgconfig=ImageLoaderConfiguration.createDefault(context);
imageLoader.init(imgconfig);
----------------------------------------------------------
2 - String url=list.get(position).getThumbUrl();
if(url != null && url !="")
imageLoader.displayImage(Utils.getEncodedUrl(url), holder.img, options);
------------------------------------------------------------
3 - SubCatAdapter adapter = new SubCatAdapter(SubCategoryActivity.this,
mlist);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
------------------------------------------------------------
full example is here
public class SubCatAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<SubcategoryData> list;
private LayoutInflater inflator;
public ImageLoader imageLoader;
private DisplayImageOptions options;
public SubCatAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<SubcategoryData> mlist) {
super();
this.list = mlist;
this.inflator = LayoutInflater.from(context);
options = new DisplayImageOptions.Builder()
.showStubImage(R.drawable.physicalgift_normal)
.cacheInMemory()
.cacheOnDisc()
.displayer(new RoundedBitmapDisplayer(10))
.build();
imageLoader=ImageLoader.getInstance();
ImageLoaderConfiguration imgconfig=ImageLoaderConfiguration.createDefault(context);
imageLoader.init(imgconfig);
}
