android retrieve blob images from MySql database - android

I am trying to develop medicine dictionary using listview that contains terms and when an item is clicked details appears on another intent. All of these are being fetched from my local database and i don't use SQLITE for it.. I want every details of medicine to have at least one image. But i can only able to retrieve texts but not images.
Anyone who knows how to this?
This is my code for displaying the details of the medicine.

Can someone tell me using my code how can I add codes for retrieving images from the table medicine_dictionary and retrieve the columns med_name, med_info including the image. Please. I would be very greatfull and thankful for those who will answer me.

Hey you need to set like this, in your onPostExe method, Here result is a bitmap image, you need to convert your
medical_dictionary.getString(TAG_IMAGE);
into bitmap then pass it in the result,
medimg.setImageBitmap(result);

What I have to change, so I can use that as a fragment?
Edit:
i tried to change the code a little bit following some tutorials on the web...
now it works better, but there is still some problems with onPostExecute...
the doInBackground gets all parameters from mysql. i can track that with debug, but somehow after doInBackground it get's there is an error..

You must create fragment in FragmentActivity. All code you need is below
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_activity);
int index=0;
MyListFragment f = MyListFragment.newInstance(index);
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.mylist, f);
ft.commit();
}//end oncreate
}//end activity

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:orientation="horizontal" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/mylist"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0px"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
MyListFragment.java
public class MyListFragment extends ListFragment {
public static MyListFragment newInstance(int index) {
MyListFragment f = new MyListFragment();
return f;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_mylist, container, false);
//read products from web and list
//productsList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
//new LoadProducts().execute();
return v;
}
//end oncreateview
class LoadProducts extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
}
}
//end LoadProducts

setMediaController in onCreate error

I have 2 simple working apps that I'm trying to combine. #1 plays a video in a videoview from a URL that I specified, and #2 loads information from a database. I'm just trying to put the videoview in the same area as the information loading from the database.
The videoview appears in the right place, but the app crashes when I add this code anywhere in onCreate:
// **NEW VIDEOVIEW CODE**
VideoView vid = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
Uri video = Uri.parse(MOVIE_URL);
vid.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
vid.setVideoURI(video);
vid.start();
vid.requestFocus();
With trial and error I determined that it crashes starting at the 'setMediaController' line. Here is the onCreate(which works fine without the above code, other than the blank videoview obviously):
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.all_products);
// Hashmap for ListView
productsList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
// Loading products in Background Thread
new LoadAllProducts().execute();
// Get listview
ListView lv = getListView();
// on seleting single product
// launching Edit Product Screen
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// getting values from selected ListItem
String pid = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.pid)).getText()
.toString();
// Starting new intent
Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
EditProductActivity.class);
// sending pid to next activity
in.putExtra(TAG_PID, pid);
// starting new activity and expecting some response back
startActivityForResult(in, 100);
}
});
}
Here is the logcat:

In summary, I'm trying to figure out if I'm going about these entirely wrong or if there is a way to include this code without crashing. Thanks!!

You are receiving the error because the VideoView element is not available in the all_products.xml file.
What you need to do is create a ListAdapter and have the getView() method of the list adapter reference your list_item.xml layout file. That is the file that contains the VideoView.

Populate data from mysql in ListView Android

I am developing and android app that retrieves news from mysql database and populate them in list view, i managed to retrieve data successfully but am facing one major problem that stops me from proceeding with my project. When i try to populate data in listview the app crashes in displaying the following error in log cat saying
your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'
I have tried to change my xml listview id and write it in different forms but it still fails and displaying same error.
here are my xml codes.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

I also want to set such that when user clicks on the news the new activity opens with the details of the news.
Try this..
Change this android:id="#+id/android.R.id.list" to android:id="#android:id/list" like below
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#fff" />
I have faced same problem and solved by following
Listview lv;
lv = (listview) Findviewbyid(android.R.id.listviewname);

Example Code Works as Activity but not as Fragment

I'm fairly new to Android development. I'm still learning and getting along with example codes i can find online.
I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get this example code to work in a fragment Activity, however it works seamlessly as an Activity. I don't know what i'm missing.
Eclipse keeps Highlighting unusual parts of the code, making it difficult to debug
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll post both working code and one with errors :errors will be Bold text

Thanks again for your time and help.

In fragments, you should get the reference to your visual elements in onCreateView() method, for example:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.add_product, container, false);
inputName = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.inputName);
return view;
}
If you want to use findViewById() after onCreateView() as already been called (later in the fragment's lifecycle), you can use getView() method:
inputName = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.inputName);

really appreciate your help
In Java you need to write the method inside the class. Put the onCreate inside Class.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
.....
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
// getting values from selected ListItem
String tid = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tid)).getText()
.toString();
}
});
.........
}
private class LoadAllTopics extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
.....
}
}
