Android - call OnSaveInstanceState from another class than main - android

I am creating some EditTexts with button, I created a class which implements OnClickListener, and I want to save those EditTexts after screen rotation but they always disappear. I know that
Activity on rotation is destroyed and created again
I cant save EditText in Bundle since it does not implement Parcelable or something like that
So I tried to save at least their ID's and Text they have in them with the onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
but it is not called because it is not in main class, but in another called ViewControl. I need to save some private variables (text and ids) so that is the reason why I have this method inside my class. I tried to call this method from another onSaveInstance which is in main but no luck neither. Can you tell me some easy way to programatically create EditTexts one below another and KEEP them after screen rotation? I really cant find any easy way...
Main class
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private ViewControl vc;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
vc = new ViewControl(this);
}
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
vc.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
}
ViewControl class
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class ViewControl extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener{
private Button btn;
private RelativeLayout rl;
private Activity act;
private ArrayList<Integer> id;
private ArrayList<String> userpath;
private int lastId;
public ViewControl(Activity activity) {
this.act = activity;
this.id = new ArrayList<Integer>();
this.userpath = new ArrayList<String>();
this.rl = (RelativeLayout)act.findViewById(R.id.layout);
this.btn = (Button)act.findViewById(R.id.btn);
this.id.add(Integer.valueOf(R.id.btn));
this.btn.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(id.size() != 1)
lastId = id.get(id.size() - 1);
else
lastId = R.id.btn;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams par = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
par.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, lastId);
EditText et = new EditText(act);
et.setId(++lastId);
id.add(Integer.valueOf(lastId));
et.setText(Integer.toString(lastId));
rl.addView(et, par);
lastId = et.getId();
}
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
savedInstanceState.putIntegerArrayList("ids", id);
savedInstanceState.putStringArrayList("userpaths", userpath);
savedInstanceState.putInt("lastId", lastId);
Toast.makeText(act, "Onsave", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
this.id = savedInstanceState.getIntegerArrayList("ids");
this.userpath = savedInstanceState.getStringArrayList("userpaths");
this.lastId = savedInstanceState.getInt("lastId");
Toast.makeText(act, "Onrestore", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
for(int i = 0; i < id.size(); i++)
{
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams par = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
par.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, lastId);
EditText et = new EditText(act);
et.setId(this.id.get(i));
}
}
}

The calls are in the wrong order (both in MainActivity and ViewControl). First you should add your data, then pass the Bundle to super to save it (see the docs here). (Your onRestoreInstanceState is OK)

Your activity is not yet attached to the Application instance. You can't request ViewModel before onCreate call

I try to run a test on a fragmentDialog that is anchored to a viewId in its hosting activity
#Test
public void largeScreenDeviceUsesPopup() {
final FragmentUtilActivity fragmentActivity = new FragmentUtilActivity();
fragmentActivity.onCreate(null);
myDialogFragment = MyDialogFragment.create(FragmentUtilActivity.anchorId);
myDialogFragment.showNow(fragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager(), "");
assertThat(....)
}
private static class FragmentUtilActivity extends FragmentActivity {
public static int anchorId = 1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LinearLayout view = new LinearLayout(this);
view.setId(anchorId);
setContentView(view);
}
}
however i get this error:
Your activity is not yet attached to the Application instance. You can't request ViewModel before onCreate call.
how can i fix this?

passing data from (grand) parent to parent to child to (grand) child and back up to (Grand) parent activity in android

I have a grand parent activity called Department
public class Department extends AppCompatActivity {
RecyclerView recyclerView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_department);
.........
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Context context = v.getContext();
Intent intent = new Intent(context, DeptDetail.class);
Bundle extra = new Bundle();
extra.putString("Department", getAdapterPosition()+"");
intent.putExtras(extra);
context.startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
Sends data about Department position to DepartmentDeatail activity
public class DeptDetail extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_dept_detail);
Bundle extra = getIntent().getExtras();
deptpos = Integer.parseInt(extra.getString("Department"));
.........
public void onClick(View v) {
int id= v.getId();
Intent in;
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
in = new Intent(DeptDetail.this, Mission.class);
extras.putString("Mission",mission[deptpos]);
extras.putString("Deptid", deptpos+"");
in.putExtras(extras);
startActivityForResult(in,1);
}
}
and DeptDetail activity sends same Deptpos to its child activity Mission
public class Mission extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_mission);
Bundle extra = getIntent().getExtras();
String mission = extra.getString("Mission");
deptid=Integer.parseInt(extra.getString("Deptid"));
TextView txtmission = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtmission);
try {
txtmission.setText(mission);
}
catch (NullPointerException e)
{
txtmission.setText("");
}
}
}
And now I want same Deptid to be accessed in DeptDetail activity which always calls for intent from Department activity, which is not available as usual..
So please show me the way to pass the data to child and back to parent.
I tried
onActivityResult(..)
but it wasn't called before onCreate where extra is read and generating NullPointerException

Inner class issue when using onclicklistener

I keep getting repeated issues with: variable is accessed from within inner class
every time i want to use an object etc from an onclicklistener etc.
I know the problem is that its not set to final, but if i set to final im not able to do anything to it before pressing the onclicklistener button...
Example i have an EditText field, which is filled with getText from an object, then i want to press an apply button and the object with the new text from the textfield.
This doesnt work when the object need to be final for the "inner class" to use it.
How do i best handle this? i keep running into this bloody phenonemon...
public class EditPicture extends Activity{
private EditText text;
private Button applyBtn;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
UUID itemID = (UUID)getIntent().getSerializableExtra("itemUUID");
PictureItem pi = new PictureItem("","");
final ArrayList<PictureItem> tempArray = PictureTalkFragment.array;
for(int i = 0; i < tempArray.size(); i++){
if(itemID.equals(tempArray.get(i).getId())){
pi = tempArray.get(i);
tempArray.remove(i);
}
}
setContentView(R.layout.picturetalk_edit_pic);
text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editName);
text.setText(pi.getTitle());
applyBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.applyChangeBtn);
applyBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
tempArray.add(pi);
}
});
}
}
you should define tempArray variable outside of onCreate method.
public class EditPicture extends Activity{
private EditText text;
private Button applyBtn;
ArrayList<PictureItem> tempArray
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
UUID itemID = (UUID)getIntent().getSerializableExtra("itemUUID");
PictureItem pi = new PictureItem("","");
tempArray = PictureTalkFragment.array;
for(int i = 0; i < tempArray.size(); i++){
if(itemID.equals(tempArray.get(i).getId())){
pi = tempArray.get(i);
tempArray.remove(i);
}
}
setContentView(R.layout.picturetalk_edit_pic);
text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editName);
text.setText(pi.getTitle());
applyBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.applyChangeBtn);
applyBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
tempArray.add(pi);
}
});
}
}
The problem is that you add th picture to a temporary array which is not accesible when you click on it. I think that you can do something like this to define the array outside the inCreate function.
public class EditPicture extends Activity{
private EditText text;
private Button applyBtn;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
UUID itemID = (UUID)getIntent().getSerializableExtra("itemUUID");
PictureItem pi = new PictureItem("","");
final ArrayList<PictureItem> tempArray = PictureTalkFragment.array;
for(int i = 0; i < tempArray.size(); i++){
if(itemID.equals(tempArray.get(i).getId())){
pi = tempArray.get(i);
tempArray.remove(i);
}
}
setContentView(R.layout.picturetalk_edit_pic);
text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editName);
text.setText(pi.getTitle());
applyBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.applyChangeBtn);
applyBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(PictureTalkFragment.array != null){
PictureTalkFragment.array.add(pi);
}
}
});
}
}

Application Crash when using android.widget.Button class as a global variable

I can't for the life of me figure this out, and I've searched as thoroughly as I can.
I've got a block of code like so:
public class TwoPlayerGame extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);
}
public GameStuff game = new GameStuff();
public Player playerOne = new Player();
public Player playerTwo = new Player();
public Player[] players = {playerOne, playerTwo};
public Button cardOne=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card1);
public Button cardTwo=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card2);
public Button cardThree=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card3);
public Button cardFour=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card4);
public Button cardFive=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card5);
public Button[] buttons={cardOne, cardTwo, cardThree, cardFour, cardFive};
#Override
public void onStart(){
super.onStart();
for(int i=0; i<=1; i++){
dealCards(players[i]);
}
for (int i = 0; i<=4; i++){
buttons[i].setText(playerOne.cardsInHand[i]);
}
}
}
As written this will crash as soon as the Activity starts (it'll even crash if I change the onStart override into a new method altogether). If I move all the Button declarations into the onStart method, everything works fine, but then they won't be global. If I move them into onCreate, they won't be global, according to Eclipse, and I get errors that won't let me compile.
All the other global variables work fine where they are, and I need the buttons to be global so I don't have to keep re-declaring them in new methods.
Am I overlooking something blindingly obvious (probably)? And what is it?
try
public class TwoPlayerGame extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);
cardOne=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card1);
cardTwo=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card2);
cardThree=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card3);
cardFour=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card4);
cardFive=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card5);
}
public GameStuff game = new GameStuff();
public Player playerOne = new Player();
public Player playerTwo = new Player();
public Player[] players = {playerOne, playerTwo};
public Button cardOne;
public Button cardTwo;
public Button cardThree;
public Button cardFour;
public Button cardFive;
public Button[] buttons={cardOne, cardTwo, cardThree, cardFour, cardFive};
#Override
public void onStart(){
super.onStart();
for(int i=0; i<=1; i++){
dealCards(players[i]);
}
for (int i = 0; i<=4; i++){
buttons[i].setText(playerOne.cardsInHand[i]);
}
}
}
you can not get the Buttons from the findViewById before calling setContentView. It is impossible.
You should realize that lines
public Button cardOne=(Button)findViewById(R.id.card1);
... and others
are called when the class is created. But this is before onCreate is called. It crashes because to use findViewById you need to first call
setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);
but its actually called after the initialization of the class and therefore after findViewById calls.

Easiest way to save data in savedInstanceState when managing an adapter(viewpager)

I'm working with an adapter(viewpager) and when the app changes orientation it loses its information. Which is the easiest way to conserve this information? I was going to use savedInstanceState inside the adapter but it doesn't recognise it.
Finally, I have done it following the advice of Jofre as he pointed in Activity restart on rotation Android
and looking in http://developer.android.com/intl/es/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html
YOU MUST NOT MODIFY MANIFEST. DON'T ADD android:configChanges
SOLUTION:
//ALL THE VARIABLES YOU NEED TO SAVE IN YOUR ADAPTER PUT THEM AS PUBLIC, IE:
//public int a = 2;
//public String b = "a";
Public class Yourclass extends Activity{
Classofyouradapter adapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.yourlayout);
final Save_object data = (Save_object) getLastNonConfigurationInstance();
adapter = new Classofyouradapter(your variables);
if (data != null) {
fillit(data);
}
myPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.yourpanelpager);
myPager.setAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public Object onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() {
final Save_object data = new Save_object();
return data;
}
public class Save_object{
int a = adapter.a;
String b = adapter.b;
//Rest of variables
}
public void fillit(Save_object data){
adapter.a= data.a;
adapter.b= data.b;
//Rest of variables
}
}
