I have a notebook sample project and I want to add a "note counter" to it using shared preferences and each time the user adds a note increment the counter in createNote() method. I also added a TextView to show the counter, but the counter is always zero and doesnt increment by creating a new note! ! Help me please!
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
private static final int EDITOR_ACTIVITY_REQUEST = 1001;
private static final int MENU_DELETE_ID = 1002;
private int currentNoteId;
private NotesDataSource datasource;
List<NoteItem> notesList;
int count = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
datasource = new NotesDataSource(this);
refreshDisplay();
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tv.setText(""+count);
}
private void refreshDisplay() {
notesList = datasource.findAll();
ArrayAdapter<NoteItem> adapter =
new ArrayAdapter<NoteItem>(this, R.layout.list_item_layout, notesList);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.action_create) {
createNote(null);
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
public void createNote(View v) {
NoteItem note = NoteItem.getNew();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NoteEditorActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(NoteItem.KEY, note.getKey());
intent.putExtra(NoteItem.TEXT, note.getText());
startActivityForResult(intent, EDITOR_ACTIVITY_REQUEST);
int defaultValue = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("count_key", count);
++defaultValue;
getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).edit().putInt("count_key", defaultValue).commit();
count = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("count_key", count);
}
#Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
NoteItem note = notesList.get(position);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NoteEditorActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(NoteItem.KEY, note.getKey());
intent.putExtra(NoteItem.TEXT, note.getText());
startActivityForResult(intent, EDITOR_ACTIVITY_REQUEST);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == EDITOR_ACTIVITY_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
NoteItem note = new NoteItem();
note.setKey(data.getStringExtra(NoteItem.KEY));
note.setText(data.getStringExtra(NoteItem.TEXT));
datasource.update(note);
refreshDisplay();
}
}
}
Your help is appreciated. Thanks!
Based on discussion and answer given by #Rahul Tiwari...do the following modifications in your code.....
First create the instance TextView variable
//your instance variables
int count;
TextView tv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//your code...
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
count = getSharedPreferences("NAME_FOR_SHARED_PREFERENCES", Context.MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("count_key", 0);
updateTextView();
}
void updateTextView(){
tv.setText(""+count);
}
//your code till here....
public void createNote(View v) {
NoteItem note = NoteItem.getNew();
SharedPreferences sharedPref = getSharedPreferences("NAME_FOR_SHARED_PREFERENCES", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
sharedPref.edit().putInt("count_key", ++count).commit();
updateTextView()
/*for intial testing commenting this code block
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NoteEditorActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(NoteItem.KEY, note.getKey());
intent.putExtra(NoteItem.TEXT, note.getText());
startActivityForResult(intent, EDITOR_ACTIVITY_REQUEST);
*/
}
//your code.
Then you can start app multiple times and check want is the count value.
Note: When naming your shared preference files, you should use a name
that's uniquely identifiable to your app, such as
"com.example.myapp.PREFERENCE_FILE_KEY" for more detail refer
your counter is not being refreshed as you are not changing text in your text view after changing the count.
you need to use
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tv.setText(""+count);
at the end of your createNote function
use getDefaultSharedPreferences to access your shared preference across activities in your app. refer this answer for example.

My app uses a firebase RecyclerAdapter to display "plant" entities in an activity.
I made it so that if I longclick on an entity displayed in Cardview format using a ViewHolder and the RecyclerAdapter it will prompt to perform a delete and delete the plant entity + image on the firebase database and storage. Deleting and adding plants work without a hitch on the backend as I can confirm this on my firebase database.
However, when I delete a "plant" entity and add a new one, the CardView shows the previous or another image. Deleting the app and reinstalling it seems to fix the problem, because of this I think it might have to do with the local cache.
PlantActivity.java (where the plants are loaded)
I think this might be solved if there was some way to refresh the activity in some way or the RecyclerAdapter... although i've tried many things already
public class PlantActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Delete this plant?").setPositiveButton("Yes", holder.dialogClickListener)
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", holder.dialogClickListener).show();
}
}
The position and model are final on the onBindViewHolder method
The viewholder can be final, but not the data or the position
Use holder.getAdapterPosition() to get the position inside annonymous interfaces like click listeners
And then get the data using getItem() method from the adapter class
The last answer by #cutiko definitely helped! But I think I realize the problem. I was saving my plantID string attribute (of new Plant object) in this fashion:
"plant_" + count() of "plants" in database + "_" + ID of the current user + ".jpg"
The problem this causes is that when I delete a plant entity and add another this could cause 2 plant entities in the database to have the same ID which causes strange behavior.
I will solve this by instead of deleting a plant from the database, changing a new attribute's("active") to false and not showing these in the FirebaseRecyclerAdapter
I'm stuck for few days, and unfortunately dont know how to fix it.
I have DetailScreen.java that show data from MainScreen (one of recyclerview's list).
I tried this code but there is no effect, when i try to change use
COLUMN_NOMOR in my update function, i can change the name but
getting error when change the nomor. I guess, its right to use
COLUMN_ID in my update function because id is my PK-AI. So whether
because I didnt call COLUMN_ID in my DetailScreen? But how i can call my
id in my DetailsScreen also in my UpdateScreen?
If the data success updated, the screen will be automatically go to the DetailScreen again, but still showing old data. I had to go to MainActivity first to get the new data. Where code should i modified?
Here my Update function in my DBHandler.java
public int updateDataSiswa(Siswa siswa) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(COLUMN_NOMOR, siswa.getNomor());
values.put(COLUMN_NAMA, siswa.getNama());
return db.update(TABLE_SISWA, values, COLUMN_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{String.valueOf(siswa.getId())});
}
Here DetailScreen.java
public class DetailScreen extends AppCompatActivity {
private TextView txt_resultnomor, txt_resultnama;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.screen_details);
//put data
Intent i = getIntent();
final String id = i.getExtras().getString("id");
final String nomor = i.getExtras().getString("nomor");
final String nama = i.getExtras().getString("nama");
//inisialisasi
txt_resultnomor = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt_resultnomor);
txt_resultnama = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt_resultnama);
//set
txt_resultnomor.setText(nomor);
txt_resultnama.setText(nama);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_detail, menu);
return true;
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_edit) {
Intent in = new Intent(this, UpdateScreen.class);
in.putExtra("nomor", txt_resultnomor.getText().toString());
in.putExtra("nama", txt_resultnama.getText().toString());
startActivity(in);
}
if (id == R.id.action_delete) {
return true;
}
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
// Intent i = new Intent(this, About.class);

}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

if (form_nomor.isEmpty()){
et_nomor.setError("Nomor belum diisi");
et_nomor.requestFocus();
}
else if (form_nama.isEmpty()){
et_nama.setError("Nama belum diisi");
et_nama.requestFocus();
}
else {
dbHandler.updateDataSiswa(new Siswa(form_nomor, form_nama));
List<Siswa> siswaList = dbHandler.getSemuaSiswa();
adapter = new SiswaAdapter(siswaList);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Toast.makeText(UpdateScreen.this, "Berhasil Memperbarui Data Siswa", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
MainSiswaActivity.mma.refresh();
finish();
}
}
}
I hope i tell clearly, help me please. Thanks.
where is your call to the update method you given public int updateDataSiswa(Siswa siswa)..? Also based on what you have provided...your notifyDataSetChanged() for adapter just tries to update the listview of the RecyclerView..
but it does not understand what underlying data has changed for it..you need to create a method for your Database Handler where you can fetch a List of new records..and then use this method to update your adapter with it and then set the new adapter to your listView in validasiForm() method..
please check this for more details...Android ListView not refreshing after notifyDataSetChanged
I'm working on a simple log app that lets the user enter a time and a note, and then displays the entered data in a ListView in a dedicated activity (MainActivty). The time and data are entered in a separate activity (AddTimeActivity) with two EditText's and are passed to MainActivity when tapping the save button through an adapter (TimeTrackerAdapter). Alternatively, a cancel button can be pressed when the user changes their mind. The AddTimeActivity can be accessed through an add button in the action bar default menu. Now I've added a delete button -which is working fine- and an edit button to each row in the list. Now The problem is: How can I add the editing feature without making a new activity dedicated to editing. In Other words, how can I make the AddTimeActivity work with editing and adding in the same time, how can I make my app know that the user tapped the add button and start the AddTimeActivity with empty EditText's, or the user tapped the edit button in one of the rows in the list and passes the the data to be edited to AddTimeActivity and displays them in the EditText's and saves the edited data in the same entry? Sorry for not showing any attempts but I'm actually clueless about the issue.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public TimeTrackerAdapter timeTrackerAdapter;
public int TIME_ENTRY_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.time_list);
timeTrackerAdapter = new TimeTrackerAdapter();
listView.setAdapter(timeTrackerAdapter);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == TIME_ENTRY_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle bundle = data.getExtras();
String time = bundle.getString("time");
String note = bundle.getString("note");
TimeRecord timeRecord = new TimeRecord(time, note);
timeTrackerAdapter.addTimeRecord(timeRecord);
timeTrackerAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
// noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.add_time_item) {
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AddTimeActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, TIME_ENTRY_REQUEST_CODE);
return true;
}
else if (id == R.id.about) {
Intent aboutIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AboutScreen.class);
startActivity(aboutIntent);
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
The AddTimeActivity, onSave and onCancel are the buttons' methods:
public class AddTimeActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.add_time);
}
public void onCancel(View view) {
finish();
}
public void onSave(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(AddTimeActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
EditText timeEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Time_Edit_Text);
String time = timeEditText.getText().toString();
EditText noteEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Note_Edit_Text);
String note = noteEditText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra("time", time);
intent.putExtra("note", note);
this.setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
}
TimeTrackerAdapter.java:
public class TimeTrackerAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
public ArrayList<TimeRecord> times = new ArrayList<TimeRecord>();
#Override
public int getCount() {
return times.size();
}
public TimeTrackerAdapter() {
times.add(new TimeRecord("12:30", "this is the best"));
times.add(new TimeRecord("2:30", "I need this"));
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return times.get(position);
}
public void addTimeRecord(TimeRecord timeRecord) {
times.add(timeRecord);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public View getView(final int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
if (view == null) {
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.menu_layout, parent, false);
}
TextView timeView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.time_textView);
TextView noteView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.note_TextView);
Button deleteButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.delete_entry);
deleteButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
times.remove(position);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
TimeRecord time = times.get(position);
timeView.setText(time.getTime());
noteView.setText(time.getNote());
return view;
}
}
The question is
How can I add the editing feature without making a new activity dedicated to editing.
or, more generally,
"how do I hand over information to the activity I'm calling ?"
You achieve this by adding extras to the intent which you use to start the activity. For example, in your 'MainActivity' before calling 'startActivityForResult()':
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyOtherActivity.class);
// in your case, 'extraInformation' could be a boolean (add = yes|no)
intent.putExtra("MyExtraInformationKey", extraInformation);
startActivityForResult(intent,TIME_ENTRY_REQUEST_CODE);
Then in the 'onCreate()' method of the other activity, you question the intent for extras:
Intent i = getIntent();
if (i != null && i.hasExtra(getString("MyExtraInformationKey"))
{
boolean myInfo = i.getBooleanExtra("MyExtraInformationKey");
// proceed as appropriate...
}
For your case of buttons inside ListView rows, you could make the OnClickListener method call another method (like 'doCallMayOtherActivity()') in your 'MainActivity', handing over all relevant information (like the position in the 'times' ArrayList).
This method would then start your add/edit activity, passing the old data out of 'times.get(position)' in a bundle as an extra to the intent.
To access the methods in 'MainActivity' from your adapter class, you could use the following code in 'getView()'
Button editButton=(Button) view.findViewById(R.id.edit_entry);
editButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
((MainActivity)parent.getContext()).doCallMyOtherActivity(times.get(position));
}
This way, your other activity could check for the existence of that bundle. If there is none, you have a case of 'add'. Else, you have a case of 'edit'.
I have the ArrayList...
ArrayList<ColorSaver> tempList = new ArrayList<ColorSaver>();
and I want it so that when the user closes the app or leaves the app, all the ColorSaver objects in the ArrayList will be there when the user reopens the app. I would prefer to use the SharedPreferences but I can't do that because the list is a custom object...
I have looked around and found out that I can do a serializable but I tried that and failed horribly, so if somebody could guide me through the serializable deal that would be great. Oh and where do I put the code, like in onCreate() in my mainActivity or in the activity that is displaying the ArrayList

I am greatful of any help!
Take a look at Android's Parcelable implementation.
So, I'm just guessing on your ColorSaver class since it wasn't posted, but you would implement it the following way:
ColorSaver.java
public class ColorSaver implements Parcelable {
private String mName;
private int mRed;
private int mGreen;
private int mBlue;
public int describeContents() {
return 0;
}
public void writeToParcel(Parcel out, int flags) {
out.writeString(mName);
out.writeInt(mRed);
out.writeInt(mGreen);
out.writeInt(mBlue);
}
public static final Parcelable.Creator<ColorSaver> CREATOR
= new Parcelable.Creator<ColorSaver>() {
public ColorSaver createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
return new ColorSaver(in);
}
public ColorSaver[] newArray(int size) {
return new ColorSaver[size];
}
};
private ColorSaver(Parcel in) {
mName = in.readString();
mRed = in.readInt();
mGreen = in.readInt();
mBlue = in.readInt();
}
}
MyActivity.java
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private static final String COLOR_SAVER_LIST = "com.example.android.ColorSaverList";
private List<ColorSaver> colorSaverList;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (savedInstanceState != null && savedInstanceState.containsKey(COLOR_SAVER_LIST)) {
colorSaverList = new ArrayList<ColorSaver>();
colorSaverList = savedInstanceState.getParcelableArrayList(COLOR_SAVER_LIST);
}
}
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putParcelableArrayList(COLOR_SAVER_LIST, colorSaverList);
}
}
I have a ListView, which displays a list of notes taken from a table in SQLiteDatabase with ArrayAdapter.
public class NotepadActivity extends ListActivity {
protected static final int ADD_NEW_NOTE = 0;
protected static final int EDIT_NOTE = 1;
ArrayAdapter<Note> adapter;
NotesManager manager;
private Note nNoteToDelete;
ArrayList<Note> lstAllNotes;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
findViewById(R.id.btnAddNewNote).setOnClickListener(addNewNote);
manager = new NotesManager(this);
lstAllNotes = manager.getAllNotes();
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<Note>(this, R.layout.note, lstAllNotes);
setListAdapter(adapter);
getListView().setOnItemClickListener(editNote);
registerForContextMenu(getListView());
}
When I click on an Item in this ListView, it takes this Note object to the EditNote activity:
private OnItemClickListener editNote = new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
long id) {
Note currNote = (Note)parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
int curr_note_id = currNote.getId();
String curr_note_title = currNote.getTitle().toString();
String curr_note_details = currNote.getDetails().toString();
Intent editNote = new Intent(NotepadActivity.this, EditNote.class);
editNote.putExtra("CURR_NOTE_ID", curr_note_id);
editNote.putExtra("CURR_NOTE_TITLE", curr_note_title);
editNote.putExtra("CURR_NOTE_DETAILS", curr_note_details);
startActivityForResult(editNote, EDIT_NOTE);
}
};
I can edit the title of the note in there and the content. When I hit the Save button, it sends back to the main activity the Strings of Title and the Details and the ID int:
public class EditNote extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
int curr_note_id;
String curr_note_title;
String curr_note_details;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.editnote);
curr_note_id = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("CURR_NOTE_ID");
curr_note_title = getIntent().getExtras().getString("CURR_NOTE_TITLE");
curr_note_details = getIntent().getExtras().getString(
"CURR_NOTE_DETAILS");
((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtTitle)).setText(curr_note_title);
((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtDetails)).setText(curr_note_details);
findViewById(R.id.btnSave).setOnClickListener(this);
findViewById(R.id.btnCancel).setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.btnSave:
String strNoteTitle = ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtTitle)).getText().toString().trim();
String strNoteDetails = ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtDetails)).getText().toString().trim();
if (!strNoteTitle.equals("")) {
Intent data = new Intent();
data.putExtra("NOTE_ID", curr_note_id);
data.putExtra("NOTE_TITLE", strNoteTitle);
data.putExtra("NOTE_DETAILS", strNoteDetails);
setResult(RESULT_OK, data);
finish();
} else {
((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtTitle))
.setError("A note must contain a title");
}
break;
case R.id.btnCancel:
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);
finish();
break;
}
}
}
And in the main activity it should update the DB and the ListView with the new Title, if there were changes. My code does update the DB, but I don't see the change in the ListView immediately, only if I exit the app and open it again. Here's the code (watch the second case, EDIT_NOTE):
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
switch (requestCode) {
case ADD_NEW_NOTE:
String noteTitle = data.getExtras().getString("NOTE_TITLE");
String noteDetails = data.getExtras().getString("NOTE_DETAILS");
Note nNewNote = new Note(-1, noteTitle, noteDetails);
adapter.add(nNewNote);
manager.addNote(nNewNote);
break;
case EDIT_NOTE:
int noteID = data.getExtras().getInt("NOTE_ID");
noteTitle = data.getExtras().getString("NOTE_TITLE");
noteDetails = data.getExtras().getString("NOTE_DETAILS");
nNewNote = new Note(noteID, noteTitle, noteDetails);
Toast.makeText(NotepadActivity.this, noteTitle + "\n" + noteDetails, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
manager.updateNote(nNewNote);
break;
}
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
After manager.updateNote(nNewNote); I tried to use adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); but that didn't work - I didn't see the change in the ListView. Perhaps I used it wrong, perhaps I should use something else...
So how can I make the ListView refresh? How can I see change immediately, without restarting the app?
Thank you!
When you return from the edit activity, set the list adapter again to refresh the ListView. You have to manually refresh the ListView each time if you want to see any updates. Hope this helps.
