Android - Display data from Adapter in Listview

I've currently got an application that pulls data from a mysql database and displays it in raw JSON format. I'm currently working on pushing this data into a String variable and displaying it on a Listview on a specific activity.
Problem is, when trying to display this data, my Listview is not populating; I'm sure the variable is not empty as the if statement would have captured this.
Here is snippet of MainActivity code:
//Methods to grab information from abhandym_DB database
public void getJSON(View view){
new BackgroundTask().execute();
}
public void parseJSON(View view){
if(JSON_String==null){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "First Get Json", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
Intent intent = new Intent(this,Test.class);
intent.putExtra("JSON_Data",JSON_String);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
class BackgroundTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,String>{
String json_url;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
json_url = "http://abhandyman.x10host.com/json_get_data.php";
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
URL url = new URL(json_url);
HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
InputStream inputSteam = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader buffereredReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputSteam));
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
while((JSON_String = buffereredReader.readLine())!=null){
stringBuilder.append(JSON_String+"\n");
}
buffereredReader.close();
inputSteam.close();
httpURLConnection.disconnect();
return stringBuilder.toString().trim();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.fragment1_textview_JSONAPPEAR);
textView.setText(result);
JSON_String = result;
}
}
Here is the code for my Test.java
public class Test extends AppCompatActivity {
String JSON_String;
JSONObject jsonObject;
JSONArray jsonArray;
DataAdapter dataAdapter;
ListView listView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.test_layout);
listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.test_listView);
dataAdapter = new DataAdapter(this, R.layout.row_layout);
listView.setAdapter(dataAdapter);
JSON_String = getIntent().getExtras().getString("JSON_Data");
try {
jsonObject = new JSONObject(JSON_String);
jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("server_response");
int count = 0;
String jobid,problem,resolution;
while(count<jsonObject.length()){
JSONObject JO = jsonArray.getJSONObject(count);
jobid = JO.getString("jobid");
problem = JO.getString("problem");
resolution = JO.getString("resolution");
Data data = new Data(jobid,problem,resolution);
dataAdapter.add(data);
count++;
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Here is the code for my DataAdapter:
public class DataAdapter extends ArrayAdapter{
List list = new ArrayList();
public DataAdapter(Context context, int resource) {
super(context, resource);
}
public void add(Data object) {
super.add(object);
list.add(object);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return list.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return list.get(position);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View row;
row = convertView;
DataHolder dataHolder;
if(row == null){
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)this.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
row = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.row_layout,parent,false);
dataHolder = new DataHolder();
dataHolder.tx_jobid = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.tx_jobid);
dataHolder.tx_problem = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.tx_problem);
dataHolder.tx_resolution = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.tx_resolution);
row.setTag(dataHolder);
}else{
dataHolder = (DataHolder)row.getTag();
}
Data data = (Data)this.getItem(position);
dataHolder.tx_jobid.setText(data.getJobid());
dataHolder.tx_problem.setText(data.getProblem());
dataHolder.tx_resolution.setText(data.getResolution());
return row;
}
static class DataHolder{
TextView tx_jobid,tx_problem,tx_resolution;
}
}
and here is what it displays when clicking on "Parse JSON" button.
listView empty after population
Any help or advise on why its not displaying would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

your problem seems to be here :
while(count<jsonObject.length()){
you're not looping using the number of array elements but using the number of mapped key:value object which is one (the "server_response") , you have to change this line to :
while(count<jsonArray.length()){
,
you have just the first element showing because jsonObject.length() will return 1 since it have just one element.
from the doc, JSONObject, length() method:
Returns the number of name/value mappings in this object.
and in your case you have just one name/value mapped ("server_response":[array items...])

Check in Test.java. I think You are setting the adapter to the listview before adding data to it
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.test_layout);
listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.test_listView);
dataAdapter = new DataAdapter(this, R.layout.row_layout);
JSON_String = getIntent().getExtras().getString("JSON_Data");
try {
jsonObject = new JSONObject(JSON_String);
jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("server_response");
int count = 0;
String jobid,problem,resolution;
while(count<jsonObject.length()){
JSONObject JO = jsonArray.getJSONObject(count);
jobid = JO.getString("jobid");
problem = JO.getString("problem");
resolution = JO.getString("resolution");
Data data = new Data(jobid,problem,resolution);
dataAdapter.add(data);
count++;
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
listView.setAdapter(dataAdapter); //change effected
}

How to delete a list item from listview in android eclipse by clicking a button

I need to delete a list item from listview on clicking a delete button in android eclipse. The list values are populated from mysql database(JSON), so on deleting, I need to delete the same from database also.

In your listviews adapter's getView method you link to the button on the layout your inflating and just attach a setOnClickListener... to the button and have it remove that item from your list or array that your adapter uses and then notifyDataHasChanged.
Delete that item from items in that position.
So 1. you want to delete the item from the ListView
2. you want to delete the item from the SQL DB.
The first one is very easy, but you kind of need to know the underlining adapter and how it serves data to your ListView. When you instantiate a BaseAdapter for the ListView you pass in a List or an array. This array will be the data your BaseAdapter serves to your ListView, each view in the listview will be showing an element from the array (done in getView()). If you dynamically delete one of those items, then adjust your array (or just use a List and it's .remove(), and finally notifyDataSetChanged(); your BaseAdapter will refresh your list without that View (or rather that View will be replaced with the new one). So for instance below I pass in a List<WeatherLocation> (WeatherLocation is a containing class that has weather stuff for a particular area (city, zipcode, degree"Biddeford", 04005, 72) to my BaseAdapter.
// Instantiate ListView
ListView lvLocations = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lvLocations);
// Instantiate our BaseAdapter (pass in the List<WeatherLocation>)
WeatherLocationAdapter mWeatherLocationAdapter = new WeatherLocationAdapter(savedList, this, R.layout.view_weather_location);
lvLocations.setAdapter(mWeatherLocationAdapter);
This is an example of a regular ListView setting an Adapter to a custom BaseAdapter.
The BaseAdapter is so simple, that really the only method you care about (majorly) is the getView() method.
R.layout.view_weather_location is just a `LinearLayout` I made, it has 3 TextViews in it that I tie (show) my data with, by attaching data to those TextViews in the `getView()` method of the `BaseAdapter`. You would put a `Button there and tie it to what you want (to delete the data item)`.
public class WeatherLocationAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
private List <WeatherLocation> mLocations;
private Context mContext;
private int rowForLocationToInflate;
private LayoutInflater inflater;
public WeatherLocationAdapter(List<WeatherLocation> mLocations, Context mContext, int rowForLocationToInflate) {
this.mLocations = mLocations;
this.mContext = mContext;
this.rowForLocationToInflate = rowForLocationToInflate;
inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
//TODO just built up layout now must tie to it.
private void addLocation(WeatherLocation newLocation){
mLocations.add(newLocation);
//TODO maybe invalidate after adding new item.
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mLocations.size();
}
#Override
public WeatherLocation getItem(int position) {
return mLocations.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return 0;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
//TODO build a viewholder
View rowView = inflater.inflate(rowForLocationToInflate, parent, false);
TextView tvZipcode = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tvZipCode);
TextView tvCity = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tvCity);
TextView tvTemp = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tvDegree);
tvZipcode.setText(mLocations.get(position).getZipcode());
tvCity.setText(mLocations.get(position).getCity());
tvTemp.setText(String.valueOf(mLocations.get(position).getTemperature()));
// If you had a Button in your LinearLayout you were attaching to you that you wanted to delete that view/item with, it would look something like this in my case.
Button bDel = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.bDel);
bDel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mLocations.remove(position);
}
});
return rowView;
}
}
In the onClick you would also remove the item from the SQL db. I can show that too, but I feel you have some coding to do as it stands.

Cant change adapter of custom listview

I have tried to put set adapter() method in oncreate() of activity but it gives me error. So how can i change images display on list view after some specific time? Please suggest solution.
I am getting nullpointer exception in list.setAdapter(adapter); statement

Your declaration is wrong at here
YOUR CODE
// Use AsyncTask execute Method To Prevent ANR Problem
new LongOperation().execute(serverURL);
list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
Here you declared the ListView after called AsyncTask so it'll never find ListView at Adapter set time.
Please Change it
list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
// Use AsyncTask execute Method To Prevent ANR Problem
new LongOperation().execute(serverURL);
Problem comes with Initialization.

move this line list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.list); above this line, new LongOperation().execute(serverURL);

Not able to display some JSON data for views in the list view

I am trying to Parse the JSON to list view
There is no error in log cat
The image is getting parsed but the data which should be displayed in

The image is getting parsed but the data which should be displayed in front of rank and country is not getting displayed
Any Ideas
hope i am clear

The image is getting parsed but the data which should be displayed in
front of rank and country is not getting displayed
because you are storing values in HashMap with different keys and trying to get values with different keys in Adapter so change it as inside doInBackground method for storing values with keys :
map.put(MainActivity.NAME, jsonobject.getString("restaurantNAME"));
map.put(MainActivity.TYPE, jsonobject.getString("restaurantTYPE"));
map.put(MainActivity.FLAG, jsonobject.getString("restaurantIMAGE"));

try below code:
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
and your map key also different: see restaurantNAME...
