Could not get the value from Edit Text element

Fantastic morg. Below this code to get data from mysql database and displayed into the EditText element.There is no problem with getting data from db its working good using this asyn tesk new checkUserPermission().execute("");.
Problem is
I want to make some calculation from code and dispaly in another Edittext. so i need values thats why i get data from db.while OnCreate() to get the data from db(its working). whenever i call this calculatePL(); method i could not get value.
LOGCAT:
System.out: Empty Value
Why its empty or something. but above my edittext elements hold the
values.
...some declaration of variables and etc....
public void onCreate(Bundle SavedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(SavedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.five_activity);
new checkUserPermission().execute(""); //call here
calculatePL();//call the method
}
class checkUserPermission extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
private ProgressDialog Dialog = new ProgressDialog(Five_Activity.this);
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
Dialog.setMessage("Please wait..");
Dialog.show();
super.onPreExecute();
userid = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.userID);
uid = userid.getText().toString();
System.out.println(uid);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
ArrayList<NameValuePair> values = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
values.add(new BasicNameValuePair("userid", uid));
try {
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.1.13:8090/stat_api/shiftClose.php");
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(values));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is2 = entity.getContent();
Log.i("TAG", "Connection Successful");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.i("TAG", e.toString());
//Invalid Address
}
try {
BufferedReader reader2 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is2, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
while ((line2 = reader2.readLine()) != null) {
sb2.append(line2 + "\n");
}
is2.close();
result2 = sb2.toString();
JSONObject json_data2 = new JSONObject(result2);
code2=(json_data2.getString("code"));
Allvalues = code2;
String[] splited = Allvalues.split("\\s+");
Totalkm=splited[0];
discountamt=splited[1];
receviedamt=splited[2];
totalamt=splited[3];
expen=splited[4];
//Log.d("Splited String ", "Splited String" + totalamt+expen);
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
totkm.setText(Totalkm);
discount.setText(discountamt);
recamt.setText(receviedamt);
totamt.setText(totalamt);
expenses.setText(expen);
}
});
Log.i("TAG", "Result Retrieved");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.i("TAG", e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result){
// Close progress dialog
Dialog.dismiss();
}
}
public void calculatePL(){
try {
String a_value =totamt.getText().toString().trim();
System.out.println(a_value);
}catch(NumberFormatException numberEx)
{
System.out.println(numberEx);
}
}

Your checkUserPermission executes in background. And immediately you are calling calculatePL() so your main thread is not waiting for checkUserPermission execution to complete.
What you need to do is, make wait your main thread so that after full execution of checkUserPermission calculatePL() will get called. You can achieve it by adding ProgressDialog. Show the ProgressDialog in onPreExecute() and dismiss it in onPostExecute()
Hope it will do your job.

Override protected void onPostExecute in your asyncTask and call calculatePl() here. And you should set Edittext's text in onPostExecute too, because this method is main thread and you don't need to use runOnUIThread.
EDIT with example code:
class checkUserPermission extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
private ProgressDialog Dialog = new ProgressDialog(Five_Activity.this);
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
Dialog.setMessage("Please wait..");
Dialog.show();
super.onPreExecute();
userid = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.userID);
uid = userid.getText().toString();
System.out.println(uid);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
ArrayList<NameValuePair> values = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
values.add(new BasicNameValuePair("userid", uid));
try {
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.1.13:8090/stat_api/shiftClose.php");
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(values));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is2 = entity.getContent();
Log.i("TAG", "Connection Successful");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.i("TAG", e.toString());
//Invalid Address
}
try {
BufferedReader reader2 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is2, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
while ((line2 = reader2.readLine()) != null) {
sb2.append(line2 + "\n");
}
is2.close();
result2 = sb2.toString();
JSONObject json_data2 = new JSONObject(result2);
code2=(json_data2.getString("code"));
Allvalues = code2;
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.i("TAG", e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
return Allvalues;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result){
String[] splited = result.split("\\s+");
Totalkm=splited[0];
discountamt=splited[1];
receviedamt=splited[2];
totalamt=splited[3];
expen=splited[4];
totkm.setText(Totalkm);
discount.setText(discountamt);
recamt.setText(receviedamt);
totamt.setText(totalamt);
expenses.setText(expen);
// Close progress dialog
Dialog.dismiss();
calculatePL();
}
}

Make sure totamt is declared as a global. Try logging the value of totamt or an object of the same. Finally check where you have declared it.

Android Login with HTTP post, get results

I am trying to create a Login function so i can verify the users. I pass the Username , Password variables to AsyncTask class but i don't know hot to get results in order to use them. Any help? (I am posting part of the source code due to website restrictions)
btnLogin.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(txtUsername.getText().toString().trim().length() > 0 && txtPassword.getText().toString().trim().length() > 0)
{
// Retrieve the text entered from the EditText
String Username = txtUsername.getText().toString();
String Password = txtPassword.getText().toString();
/*Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
Username +" + " + Password+" \n Ready for step to post data", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();*/
String[] params = {Username, Password};
// we are going to use asynctask to prevent network on main thread exception
new PostDataAsyncTask().execute(params);
// Redirect to dashboard / home screen.
login.dismiss();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
"Please enter Username and Password", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
Then i use the AsynkTask to do the check but do not know how to get the results and store them in a variable. Any help?
public class PostDataAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
// do stuff before posting data
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
// url where the data will be posted
String postReceiverUrl = "http://server.com/Json/login.php";
Log.v(TAG, "postURL: " + postReceiverUrl);
String line = null;
String fail = "notok";
// HttpClient
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
// post header
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(postReceiverUrl);
// add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("UserName", params[0]));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Password", params[1]));
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// execute HTTP post request
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
line = resEntity.toString();
Log.v(TAG, "Testing response: " + line);
if (resEntity != null) {
String responseStr = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity).trim();
Log.v(TAG, "Response: " + responseStr);
Intent Hotels_btn_pressed = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Hotels.class);
startActivity(Hotels_btn_pressed);
// you can add an if statement here and do other actions based on the response
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
"Error! User does not exist", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
finish();
}
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String lenghtOfFile) {
// do stuff after posting data
}
}

Not the best code refactoring, but just to give you a hint.
I would create an interface (lets call it 'LogInListener'):
public interface LoginListener {
void onSuccessfulLogin(String response);
void onFailedLogin(String response);
}
The 'MainActivity' class would implement that interface and set itself as a listener the 'PostDataAsyncTask'. So, creating the async task from the main activity would look like this:
String[] params = {Username, Password};
// we are going to use asynctask to prevent network on main thread exception
PostDataAsyncTask postTask = new PostDataAsyncTask(this);
postTask.execute(params);
I would move 'PostDataAsyncTask' class into a new file:
public class PostDataAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
private static final String ERROR_RESPONSE = "notok";
private LoginListener listener = null;
public PostDataAsyncTask(LoginListener listener) {
this.listener = listener;
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
String postResponse = "";
try {
// url where the data will be posted
String postReceiverUrl = "http://server.com/Json/login.php";
// HttpClient
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
// post header
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(postReceiverUrl);
// add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("UserName", params[0]));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Password", params[1]));
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// execute HTTP post request
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
postResponse = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity).trim();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return postResponse;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String postResponse) {
if (postResponse.isEmpty() || postResponse.equals(ERROR_RESPONSE) ) {
listener.onFailedLogin(postResponse);
} else {
listener.onSuccessfulLogin(postResponse);
}
}
}
So, 'doInBackground' returns the response to 'onPostExecute' (which runs on the UI thread), and 'onPostExecute' routes the result (success or failure) to the MainActivity, which implements the 'LogInListener' methods:
#Override
public void onSuccessfulLogin(String response) {
// you have access to the ui thread here - do whatever you want on suscess
// I'm just assuming that you'd like to start that activity
Intent Hotels_btn_pressed = new Intent(this, Hotels.class);
startActivity(Hotels_btn_pressed);
}
#Override
public void onFailedLogin(String response) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
"Error! User does not exist", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
I just assumed that that's what you wanted to do on success: start a new activity, and show a toast on fail.

Android Asynctask post to server error

Am new to android and developing an android app that posts a search item (which is supplied by user into an EditText) to the server when a button is clicked,the item is posted to the server.Am using Asynctask class.I have error with the findViewById(it is undefined).My problem is where to place the onclick method and referncing of the views.Here is the code
public class Server_Post extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
private static final int REGISTRATION_TIMEOUT = 3 * 1000;
private static final int WAIT_TIMEOUT = 30 * 1000;
private final HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpParams params = httpclient.getParams();
HttpResponse response;
Button Submit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submitButton);
EditText textvalue = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.searcheditText);
//Onclick Listener
Submit.setOnClickListener(onClickListener)
private OnClickListener onClickListener = new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(final View v) {
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.submitButton:
break;
}
};
protected void onPreExecute() {
//any code
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
String URL = "url";
String username = "abc";
String password = "xyz";
try {
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, REGISTRATION_TIMEOUT);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, WAIT_TIMEOUT);
ConnManagerParams.setTimeout(params, WAIT_TIMEOUT);
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(URL);
//Any other parameters you would like to set
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username",username));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password",password));
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
//Response from the Http Request
response = httpclient.execute(httpPost);
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
//Check the Http Request for success
if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK){
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
out.close();
}
else{
//Closes the connection.
Log.w("HTTP1:",statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
response.getEntity().getContent().close();
throw new IOException(statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}catch (Exception e) {
}
return null;
}
protected void onCancelled() {
}
protected void onPostExecute(String content) {
}
private void connecttopostdata() {
Server_Post task = new Server_Post();
task.execute(textvalue.getText().toString());
}
}
the response is in xml and i want to also dispaly the response on listviews.
Thanks in advance.

You need a context of an activity class to get button from findviewbyid . Make a constructor and find your views from there. Like..
// give context from where you are calling your AsyncTask
public Server_Post (Context context)
{
Button Submit = (Button) context.findViewById(R.id.submitButton);
EditText textvalue = (EditText)context.findViewById(R.id.searcheditText);
}

check amount data uploaded to the server

how to check the amount of data in each time uploaded to the server, this is my code which I call inside a AsyncTask
public String conxDatosInPost(String Direccion, ArrayList<NameValuePair> Parametros) throws Exception {
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
HttpClient client = ClienteHttp();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(Direccion);
UrlEncodedFormEntity formEntity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(Parametros);
request.setEntity(formEntity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
//long logitud = response.getEntity().getContentLength();
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
String line = "";
String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + NL);
}
in.close();
String result = sb.toString();
Log.d("El resultado de cnxposin es :----------- ", result +"fn");
return result;
} finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
This is my class CLienteHttp();
private HttpClient ClienteHttp() {
if (mHttpCliente == null) {
public static final int HTTP_TIMEOUT = 30 * 1000; // milliseconds
mHttpCliente = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpParams params = mHttpCliente.getParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
ConnManagerParams.setTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
}
return mHttpCliente;
}
And this is my class asyncTask
public class NuevoPostImagen extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String>{
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
objAcceso = new AccesoBd();
String jsRes="";
SharedPreferences userDetails = getParent().getSharedPreferences("MisPreferencias", MODE_PRIVATE);
ArrayList<NameValuePair> ParametrosDeEnvio = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
ParametrosDeEnvio.add(new BasicNameValuePair("from",Integer.toString(userDetails.getInt("Id",0))));
ParametrosDeEnvio.add(new BasicNameValuePair("idrecurso",Integer.toString(idEvento)));
ParametrosDeEnvio.add(new BasicNameValuePair("texto","nada"));
ParametrosDeEnvio.add(new BasicNameValuePair("titulo",txtFTitulo.getText().toString()));
ParametrosDeEnvio.add(new BasicNameValuePair("imageFile",sImagenBsase64));
try{
//here
String jes=objAcceso.conxDatosInPost(params[0],ParametrosDeEnvio);
jsRes = "ok";
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{return jsRes;}
}
#Override
public void onProgressUpdate(Integer... args){
Pro.setProgress(args[0]);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute( String result) {
Pro.dismiss();
if (result.toString().equals("ok")){
LlenarEvento();
dOpciones.dismiss();
dHacerFoto.dismiss();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
Pro = ProgressDialog.show(getParent(), "", "Enviando",true,true);
Pro.setCancelable(false);
}
}
Can I update my progress bar with the existing code?
Once the cliente.execute (httpost).
I wonder how I can put a listener or something to check the number of bytes uploaded being updated every second or every time you upload them? I need to update my progress bar, according to the quantity that has been uploaded.
Please, I can help?

You can use async task for this. you have to over ride 3 methods.
doinbackground()
onpreexecute()
onpostexecute()
onProgressUpdate
i think this will help u to understand hw to do it . How to implement file upload progress bar in android

android http post asynctask

Please can anyone tell me how to make an http post to work in the background with AsyncTask and how to pass the parameters to the AsyncTask? All the examples that I found were not clear enough for me and they were about downloading a file.
I'm running this code in my main activity and my problem is when the code sends the info to the server the app slows down as if it is frozen for 2 to 3 sec's then it continues to work fine until the next send. This http post sends four variables to the server (book, libadd, and time) the fourth is fixed (name)
Thanks in advance
public void SticketFunction(double book, double libadd, long time){
Log.v("log_tag", "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% SticketFunction()");
//HttpClient
HttpClient nnSticket = new DefaultHttpClient();
//Response handler
ResponseHandler<String> res = new BasicResponseHandler();
HttpPost postMethod = new HttpPost("http://www.books-something.com");
try {
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(5);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("book", book+""));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("libAss", libass+""));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Time", time+""));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", "jack"));
//Encode and set entity
postMethod.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs, HTTP.UTF_8));
//Execute
//manSticket.execute(postMethod);
String response =Sticket.execute(postMethod, res).replaceAll("<(.|\n)*?>","");
if (response.equals("Done")){
//Log.v("log_tag", "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SticketFunction got a DONE!");
}
else Log.v("log_tag", "!!!!!!!?????????? SticketFunction Bad or no response: " + response);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
//Log.v("log_tag", "???????????????????? SticketFunction Client Exception");
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
//Log.v("log_tag", "???????????????????? IO Exception");
}
}
}

At first,
You put a class like following:
public class AsyncHttpPost extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
interface Listener {
void onResult(String result);
}
private Listener mListener;
private HashMap<String, String> mData = null;// post data
/**
* constructor
*/
public AsyncHttpPost(HashMap<String, String> data) {
mData = data;
}
public void setListener(Listener listener) {
mListener = listener;
}
/**
* background
*/
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
byte[] result = null;
String str = "";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(params[0]);// in this case, params[0] is URL
try {
// set up post data
ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePair = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
Iterator<String> it = mData.keySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
String key = it.next();
nameValuePair.add(new BasicNameValuePair(key, mData.get(key)));
}
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePair, "UTF-8"));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK){
result = EntityUtils.toByteArray(response.getEntity());
str = new String(result, "UTF-8");
}
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
return str;
}
/**
* on getting result
*/
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
// something...
if (mListener != null) {
mListener.onResult(result)
}
}
}
Now.
You just write some lines like following:
HashMap<String, String> data = new HashMap<String, String>();
data.put("key1", "value1");
data.put("key2", "value2");
AsyncHttpPost asyncHttpPost = new AsyncHttpPost(data);
asyncHttpPost.setListener(new AsyncHttpPost.Listener(){
#Override
public void onResult(String result) {
// do something, using return value from network
}
});
asyncHttpPost.execute("http://example.com");

First i would not recommend do a Http request in a AsyncTask, you better try a Service instead. Going back to the issue on how to pass parameter into an AsyncTask when you declared it you can defined each Object class of the AsyncTask like this.
public AsyncTask <Params,Progress,Result> {
}
so in your task you should go like this
public MyTask extends<String,Void,Void>{
public Void doInBackground(String... params){//those Params are String because it's declared like that
}
}
To use it, it's quite simple
new MyTask().execute("param1","param2","param3")
