Xml Parsing activity force closes if no connection

I am using following code from a tutorial , code works great but the app force closes if there is no connection or incase of slow connection.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ListView mListView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// URL to the XML data
String strUrl = "http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/p/demo1/countries_xml.php/countries/";
// Creating a new non-ui thread task to download xml data
DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();
// Starting the download process
downloadTask.execute(strUrl);
// Getting a reference to ListView of activity_main
mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv_countries);
}
/** A method to download xml data from url */
private String downloadUrl(String strUrl) throws IOException{
String data = "";
InputStream iStream = null;
try{
URL url = new URL(strUrl);
// Creating an http connection to communicate with url
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
// Connecting to url
urlConnection.connect();
// Reading data from url
iStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(iStream));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while( ( line = br.readLine()) != null){
sb.append(line);
}
data = sb.toString();
br.close();
}catch(Exception e){

// Creating a bitmap from the downloaded inputstream
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(iStream);
// Writing the bitmap to the temporary file as png file

// Getting the hashmap object at the specified position of the listview

// Overwriting the existing path in the adapter
hm.put("flag",path);
// Noticing listview about the dataset changes
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
}

You're returning null if an exception is thrown during doInBackground(), but then you're accessing result in onPostExecute() and not handling the null case. You need to verify that result is not null before you try to access it. Like so:
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(HashMap<String, Object> result) {
if (result != null) {
// Getting the path to the downloaded image
String path = (String) result.get("flag");

You will have to check if your application has internet access, before making calls that require it.
Following methods check if you have internet access. Use it before you need to do internet calls. If it returns false, show the user a notification saying that internet is required.
public boolean isInternetAvailable() {
try {
InetAddress ipAddr = InetAddress.getByName("google.com"); //You can replace it with your name
if (ipAddr.equals("")) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
}
Also, add these permissions if you haven't already:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
Use it like this
if (isInternetAvailable() {
// available network
} else {
// no network
}

Error Listview with Asynctask

I've a custom list in Android that collects data using Json.Sometimes correctly load the app list and the other is closed. The error in logcat is:

Does anyone have any idea to solve this? Thanks!

Try this..
I Guess You need to initialize the listview before calling the DownloadTask
// Getting a reference to ListView of activity_main
mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listaJson);
Button Buttonback = (Button) findViewById(R.id.back);
// Creating a new non-ui thread task to download json data
DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();
// Starting the download process
downloadTask.execute(strUrl);
Same like that you no need to create OnItemClickListener inside Asynctask
mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
You need to do it inside OnCreate

Thanks in advance..

I use this trick when I want to pass data from listview to another activity.
1- I add a textView to my item-list.xml which is R.layout.lv_layout in your case and make its visibility gone. android:visibility="gone"
2- add the URL String to this textView, it wont be shown in the listview, because it has no visibility.
String[] from = { "country","flag","details", "URL"};
// Ids of views in listview_layout
int[] to = { R.id.tv_country,R.id.iv_flag,R.id.tv_country_details, R.id.tv_country_URL};//the forth one is the textView you set it as gone.
3- in OnItemClick function just add the following:
String URL = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_country_URL)).getText().toString();//this will take the value of the invincible textView
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, WebView.class);
i.putExtra("URL", URL);
startActivity(i);
4- use getIntent in your webView Activity to get the URL and load it.
if it is still vague please inform me. hope you got the idea.
Edit
you dont need getURL function anymore, I thought getCountries doesnt return a hashMap for URL.
so all you have to do is create a invisible textView in your lv_layout and put each URL in it.
follow the 4 steps above.
for step 3 in Post:
protected void onPostExecute(SimpleAdapter adapter) {
// Setting adapter for the listview
mListView.setAdapter(adapter);
for(int i=0;i<adapter.getCount();i++){
HashMap<String, Object> hm = (HashMap<String, Object>) adapter.getItem(i);
String imgUrl = (String) hm.get("flag_path");
ImageLoaderTask imageLoaderTask = new ImageLoaderTask();
HashMap<String, Object> hmDownload = new HashMap<String, Object>();
hm.put("flag_path",imgUrl);
hm.put("position", i);
// Starting ImageLoaderTask to download and populate image in the listview
imageLoaderTask.execute(hm);
}
mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View view, int arg2,
long arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String URL = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_URL)).getText().toString();//this will take the value of the invincible textView
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, WebView.class);
i.putExtra("URL", URL);
startActivity(i);
}
Edit
for webViewActivity you need to get extra from the previous activity as the following:
public class WebViewActivity extends Activity{
private WebView webView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.web_view);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
String url = getIntent().getExtras().getString("URL")
if (null != url) {
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl(url);
}
}
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
}

i am using gridview in which i am parsing data from json in android,but some time my application runs and some time gives rejected execution eception

public class TopMovie extends Activity

My application is debugging but not running.RejectedExecutionException: Task android.os.AsyncTas rejected from java.util.concurrent.
Submitting tasks to a thread-pool gives RejectedExecutionException
how to resolve threadpool exception in gridview android

You can change the executor the asynctask uses if you extend the asynctask class.
Check this example from docs where they download multiple images and use a custom asynctask to control the concurrency.
I had the same problem you are having and used that project to fix it.

Make application load faster with ViewHolder class

I've made gridview application that get path of image from json. it work find but when it load it's so slow. and i try to find solution and they recommended me to use ViewHolder but I don't know how to use in my gridview application.
How can I use ViewHolder in my application? how I speed up my application?
This code work find but it load so slow.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
String strUrl = "http://192.168.10.104/adchara1/";
GridView gridView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Creating a new non-ui thread task to download json data
DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();
// Starting the download process
downloadTask.execute(strUrl);
gridView = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.lv_countries);
gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int positon,
long id) {
HashMap<String, Object> hm = (HashMap<String, Object>) gridView.getAdapter().getItem(positon);
String imgPath = (String) hm.get("photo"); //get downloaded image path
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, DisplayActivity.class); //start new Intent to another Activity.
i.putExtra("ClickedImagePath", imgPath ); //put image link in intent.
startActivity(i);
}

you should read the slide here to improve the performance.it's contain an example of using ViewHolder.

Take a look at our Google Guys at Google I/O 2010 . They had a session hosted by Google Software Engineer in Android Team, talking about ListView and related stuffs, including how to optimize listview-usage with ViewHolder class.
I think you can learn something from that.
Here is the link Google I/O 2010 - ListView Session
