Set listview with encoded string image android

There's someway for me to adapt a encoded string image in a Listview?
I got from my server, in base64 format, a image in a string, and I want to set it in a Listview with some text.
Here is part of my code:
for (int i = 0; i < makers.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = makers.getJSONObject(i);
// Storing each json item in variable
String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
String age = c.getString(TAG_AGE);
String username = c.getString(TAG_USERNAME);
String rating = c.getString(TAG_RATING);
String disc = c.getString(TAG_DISC);
Long date = c.getLong(TAG_DATE);
String num = c.getString(TAG_NUM);
// creating new HashMap
//HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
Map map = new HashMap<String, Bitmap>();
String image=c.getString(TAG_IMAGE1);
byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(image, Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0, decodedString.length);
map.put(TAG_NAME, name);
map.put(TAG_USERNAME, username);
map.put(TAG_AGE, age);
map.put(TAG_RATING, rating);
map.put(TAG_DISC, disc);
map.put(TAG_NUM, num);
map.put(TAG_IMAGE1, bitmap);
// map.put(TAG_CIDADE, cidade);
long curdate = System.currentTimeMillis();
long onem = curdate - date;
long intm = 3*30*24*60*60*1000 ;
if(onem >= intm){
} else {
// adding HashList to ArrayList
userdataList.add((HashMap<String, String>) map);
}
}
}
And here is my Adapter:
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog after getting the related idioms
pDialog.dismiss();
// updating UI from Background Thread
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
/**
* Updating parsed JSON data into ListView
* */
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
ListResult1.this, userdataList,
R.layout.list_view, new String[] { TAG_NAME, TAG_USERNAME, TAG_AGE, TAG_RATING, TAG_DISC, TAG_NUM, TAG_IMAGE1},
new int[] {R.id.name, R.id.username, R.id.age, R.id.rating, R.id.disc, R.id.num, R.id.ivimage1s});
// updating listview
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
});
}
And i want also to transfer that image through a intent, it's possible?
The actual problem is that I can't set a adapter for my image, all the text part work just fine, but the image did not loaded.
Sorry for any English issue, it's not my mother language.

Need advice on blob to listview imageview (Android)

PHP file
$json = array();
if(mysql_num_rows($result)){
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$row['EventPic'] = base64_encode($row['EventPic']);
$json['event'][]=$row;
}
}
dbDisconnect($conn);
echo json_encode($json);
?>
I followed online solution to base64_encode the blob array
Android side
try{
JSONObject jsonResponse = new JSONObject(jsonResult);
JSONArray jsonMainNode = jsonResponse.optJSONArray("event");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonMainNode.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonChildNode = jsonMainNode.getJSONObject(i);
name = jsonChildNode.optString("TITLE");
number = jsonChildNode.optString("EVENTID");
diploma = jsonChildNode.optString("DIPLOMA");
date = jsonChildNode.optString("DATE").toString();
BlobPicture = jsonChildNode.optString("EventPic");
byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(BlobPicture, Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap decodedByte = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0, decodedString.length);
// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
map.put(TAG_DATE, diploma);
map.put(TAG_TITLE, name);
map.put(TAG_ID, number);
map.put(TAG_DAY, date);
map.put(TAG_PIC, decodedByte);
// adding HashList to ArrayList
eventsList.add(map);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "No events on this date" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
getActivity(), eventsList, R.layout.eventuse, new String[] { TAG_DATE, TAG_TITLE, TAG_ID, TAG_DAY, TAG_PIC},
new int[] { R.id.title1, R.id.date1, R.id.hideeventid, R.id.course1, R.id.imh });
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
I need help to retrieve from the Android side, my method doesn't seems to work as my SimpleAdapter requires R.id.
Any advice or solutions are much appreciated.

Imageadapter and listview with image from json

I have yet another question regarding displaying image on listview from json object. I checked almost every possible answers on stackoverflow but did not find any solution. I have following implementation
contact = json.getJSONArray(TAG_CONTACT);
for(int i = 0; i < contact.length(); i++){
JSONObject c = contact.getJSONObject(i);
//put json obkject on variable
String fname = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
String uname = c.getString(TAG_UNAME);
String type = c.getString(TAG_TYPE);
String email = c.getString(TAG_EMAIL);
String thumb = c.getString(TAG_THUMB);
// Adding value HashMap key => value
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put(TAG_NAME, fname);
map.put(TAG_UNAME, uname);
map.put(TAG_TYPE, type);
map.put(TAG_EMAIL, email);
map.put(TAG_THUMB, thumb);
contactlist.add(map);
// Finding the list view
list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.contactlist);
ImageLoader imgLoader = new ImageLoader(getApplicationContext());
// Put data on listview content
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(ContactPage.this, contactlist,
R.layout.contact_list,
new String[] {TAG_NAME,TAG_UNAME,TAG_TYPE,TAG_EMAIL,TAG_THUMB}, new int[] {
R.id.contact_name,R.id.contact_usertype,R.id.contact_status,R.id.contact_email,R.id.contact_image});
list.setAdapter(adapter);
Now where and how shall I implement the imgLoader.DisplayImage(url, imageView) in my code if I have image URL on thumb , i.e c.getString(TAG_THUMB);
Thanks in advance.

Android: Pulling a String Array from a HashMap

I'm building a a Gallery app using GridView and ViewPager. I'm getting the image URLs from JSON. I've got the GridView displaying the images correctly, and now I'm moving on to the ViewPager. What I think I need to do is generate a String array of the image URLs for the ViewPager Adapter. In the GridView Activity, I've created a HashMap with the id, URL, and image description strings stored. My question now is: Is it possible to generate a String Array by retrieving all the stored URL strings from the HashMap? What I need is this from the HashMap:
public static final String[] imagesStr = new String[] {
"http://www.mysite/images/building0001.jpg",
"http://www.mysite/images/building00011.jpg",
"http://www.mysite/images/building0010.jpg" };
Here's how I'm generating the HashMap:
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// Retrieve JSON Objects from the given URL address
galleryArrList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
jsonobject = JIJSONfunctions.getJSONfromURL(urlPathStr);
try {
// Locate the array name in JSON
JSArrGallery = jsonobject.getJSONArray("gallery");
for (int i = 0; i < JSArrGallery.length(); i++) {
JSONObject galleryJO = JSArrGallery.getJSONObject(i);
idStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_ID);
urlStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_URL);
descrStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_DESCR);
// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String,String>();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
map.put(TAG_ID, idStr);
map.put(TAG_URL, urlStr);
map.put(TAG_DESCR, descrStr);
galleryArrList.add(map);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
I'm a bit unclear on how a HashMap works, but I assume that the code is going through the JSON Array and pulling each URL string out and storing it in the HashMap, right? So now can I pull all the gathered URL Strings and create a String Array with them? How would I do that?

Seems straightforward enough. After you have populated your List<HashMap<String,String>>, iterate over each map and pull the value you need from it to add to a String[]. Please refer to the following snippet:
galleryArrList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
jsonobject = JIJSONfunctions.getJSONfromURL(urlPathStr);
try { ... }
final int length = galleryArrList.size();
final String[] imagesStr = new String[length];
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
final Map<String, String> map = galleryArrList.get(i);
imagesStr[i] = map.get(TAG_URL);
}

You might try using an ArrayList and add the URLs to the ArrayList within the for loop. When the loop is done, you can use the ArrayList.toArray(T[] array) method copy the URLs from the ArrayList to a String array.
ArrayList.toArray
ArrayList arlist = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < JSArrGallery.length(); i++) {
JSONObject galleryJO = JSArrGallery.getJSONObject(i);
idStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_ID);
urlStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_URL);
descrStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_DESCR);
// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String,String>();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
map.put(TAG_ID, idStr);
map.put(TAG_URL, urlStr);
map.put(TAG_DESCR, descrStr);
galleryArrList.add(map);
arlist.add(urlStr);
}
// Create a String array to hold the URLs
String[] arUrls = new String[arlist.size()];
// Copy the URLs from the ArrayList to the String array
arlist.toArray(arUrls);

How to get a part of a datastring from clicking a listview-item

I have a variable called current which holds the last clicked listview item data. The id of this data is to be used to query the db again for movies taht are similar.
The problem that current = id=17985, title=the matrix, year=1999 when all i need is the actual id-number. I have tried to use substring to only use the correct places of the string. This works for the matrix since its id is exactly 5 digits long, but as soon as i try to click movie with higher/lower amount of digits in its id of course it trips up.
String id = current.substring(4,9).trim().toString(); does not work for all movies.
Heres some code:
// search method: this is necessary cause this is the method thats first used and where the variable current is set. This is also the only method using three lines for getting data - id, title and year.
protected void search() {
data = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();
list = new ArrayList<String>();
EditText searchstring = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.searchstring);
String query = searchstring.getText().toString().replace(' ', '+');
String text;
text = searchquery(query);
try {
JSONObject res = new JSONObject(text);
JSONArray jsonArray = res.getJSONArray("movies");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
item = new HashMap<String, String>(2);
item.put("id",jsonObject.getString("id"));
item.put("title",jsonObject.getString("title"));
item.put("year", jsonObject.getString("year"));
data.add(item);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
aa = new SimpleAdapter(SearchTab.this, data,
R.layout.mylistview,
new String[] {"title", "year"},
new int[] {R.id.text1,
R.id.text2});
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
lv.setAdapter(aa);
lv.setDividerHeight(5);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
Map<String, String> s = data.get((int) id);
current = s.toString();
}});
}
// similar method: this tries to build a list from the fetched data from "current"-string. As you can see i try to use 4,9 to only get right numbers, but this fails with others. Best would be to only to be ble to get the ID which I cant seem to do. The toast is just to see what is beeing fetched, much like a system out print.
protected void similar() {
data = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();
list = new ArrayList<String>();
String id = current.substring(4,9).trim().toString();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), id, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
String text;
text = similarquery(id);
try {
JSONObject res = new JSONObject(text);
JSONArray jsonArray = res.getJSONArray("movies");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
item = new HashMap<String, String>(2);
item.put("title",jsonObject.getString("title"));
item.put("year", jsonObject.getString("year"));
data.add(item);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
aa = new SimpleAdapter(SearchTab.this, data,
R.layout.mylistview2,
new String[] {"title", "year"},
new int[] {R.id.text1,
R.id.text2});
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
lv.setAdapter(aa);
lv.setDividerHeight(5);
}

Use current.split(",")[0].split("=")[1]
edit - assuming of course that id is always the first in the comma separated list and will always be a name value pair delimited by '='

If you want to solve it via substring then you shouldn't use a predefined .substring(4,9). Use something like that:
String item = "id=17985, title=the matrix, year=1999";
String id = item.substring(item.indexOf("id=") + 3, item.indexOf(" ", item.indexOf("id=") + 3) - 1);
System.out.println("Your ID is: " + id);
// Works also for "test=asdf, id=17985, title=the matrix, year=1999"
It gets the String between "id=" and the next " " (space).
