AsyncTask not stopping while loading images. - android

This is my AsyncTask, called from getView of an adapter:
class LoadImage extends AsyncTask<Object,Void,String>{
private ImageView imv;
private String path;
public LoadImage(ImageView imv) {
this.imv = imv;
}
Bitmap userAvatarStream = null ;
Bitmap IconStream = null;
URL IconURL;
ProgressDialog dialog;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute(){
//Setting all the variables by getting the ids from the layout
return;
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Object... params) {
try {
IconURL = new URL(cr.ImageUrl);
IconStream = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(IconURL.openConnection().getInputStream());
}
catch (MalformedURLException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result){
// ImageView user_avatar = (ImageView)v.findViewById(R.id.follower_user_avatar);
imv.setImageBitmap(IconStream);
return;
}
The problem that I get here is that the images keep loading. Lets say I scroll down and the images go away to be refreshed again if I scroll up the list. It keeps making calls to get the images. This behaviour is obviously undesirable except at one place that if the internet on your cell-phone goes down and comes up again, this would help to auto-load the images. But, in the current state even that is crashing as it keeps making calls. How to stop AsyncTask from doing that?

Just cache you images to filesystem or memory.
Each time you scroll the list getView is called. If you put the image loading method on getView and didn't use Image Caching then it'll download the images again and again. There are some opensource image loader for list with caching support.
One of them is droidFu. It supports two level of caching. Filesystem and memory. Get droidFu from following link.
https://github.com/kaeppler/droid-fu

Try a boolean flag to keep the check whether the image was loaded successfully or not.
If it was not then only make a call to Load Image Asynctask.
You may need to use a boolean array to keep the track if there are more than one row in adapter.

Try this code:
class performBackgroundTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
dialog.setMessage("Please wait ...");
dialog.setIndeterminate(true);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.show();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
callxmlparser();
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
if (ringtoneNamelist != null && ringtoneNamelist.size() > 0) {
songslist.setAdapter(new Songslist());
} else {
Toast.makeText(SongsList.this,"Network signal speed is too slow\ncannot parse the data from the server\n Please try again", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
dialog.dismiss();
}
}

how to load 4 images from url in android?

I want to load four images in four imageview in android
I try this code and it is run vary good
but it is load one image>>>>>>>>
How can I do to load 4 images>> I think I need to use array but how??
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
new LoadImage().execute("https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/630285593268752384/iD1MkFQ0.png");
}
});
}
private class LoadImage extends AsyncTask<String, String, Bitmap> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading Image ....");
pDialog.show();
}
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... args) {
try {
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream((InputStream)new URL(args[0]).getContent());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bitmap;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap image) {
if(image != null){
img.setImageBitmap(image);
b1.setImageBitmap(image);
pDialog.dismiss();
}else{
pDialog.dismiss();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Image Does Not exist or Network Error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
}
Use one of the ready made libraries... they have async loading, resizing, loading into target to get bitmap... no need to reinvent the wheel (unless it's for study purposes). You can use Picasso, Glide, Fresco... you choose. There is plenty documentation available. Loading is done asynchronously. So you can send multiple requests with multiple urls.

AsyncTask return a boolean while retrieving information from a Json

I want to check if a user is registered or not in a database, and if it is get the information of the user.
Normally, when I retrieve the information from the server, I put in the Json a variable saying if the user exists or not. Then in onPostExecute(Void result) i treat the Json, so i don't need the AsyncTask to return any value.
Before I was calling the AsyncTask as follows:
task=new isCollectorRegistered();
task.execute();
But now i'm trying a different approach. I want my asynktask to just return a boolean where i called the AsyncTask.
the AsyncTask looks as follows:
public class isCollectorRegistered extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
int TAG_SUCCESS1;
private static final String TAG_COLLECTOR = "collector";
public String collector;
JSONArray USER = null;
JSONObject jObj = null;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// Checks on the server if collector is registered
try {
jObj = ServerUtilities.UserRegistered(context, collector);
return null;
} finally {
return null;
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
try {
String success = jObj.getString(TAG_SUCCESS);
Log.d(TAG_COLLECTOR, "Final Info: " + success);
//This if sees if user correct
if (Objects.equals(success, "1")){
//GOOD! THE COLLECTOR EXISTS!!
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(TAG_COLLECTOR, "JSON parsing didn't work");
}
}
}
I have checked several posts, but I still havent found out the way to retrieve the boolean where I call the Asynktask, something like this :
task=new isCollectorRegistered();
task.execute();
boolean UserRegistered = task.result();
What would be the right approach? Any help would be appreciated
To use AsyncTask you must subclass it. AsyncTask uses generics and varargs. The parameters are the following AsyncTask <TypeOfVarArgParams , ProgressValue , ResultValue> .
An AsyncTask is started via the execute() method.
The execute() method calls the doInBackground() and the onPostExecute() method.
TypeOfVarArgParams is passed into the doInBackground() method as input, ProgressValue is used for progress information and ResultValue must be returned from doInBackground() method and is passed to onPostExecute() as a parameter.
In your case you are passing Void to your AsyncTask : isCollectorRegistered extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> so you can't get your result from the thread.
please read this tutorial to a deep understand of the AsyncTask in Android
I think the following is exactly what you were looking for, Alvaro...NOTE: I tweaked your code to make it more sensible, but I tried to stick to as much of your original code as possible...
public class RegisterCollector extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String TAG_COLLECTOR = "collector";
int TAG_SUCCESS1;
String[] strArray;
JSONArray USER = null;
JSONObject jObj = null;
public String collector;
private AppCompatActivity mAct; // Just incase you need an Activity Context inside your AsyncTask...
private ProgressDialog progDial;
// Pass data to the AsyncTask class via constructor -> HACK!!
// This is a HACK because you are apparently only suppose to pass data to AsyncTask via the 'execute()' method.
public RegisterCollector (AppCompatActivity mAct, String[] strArray) {
this.mAct = mAct;
this.strArray = strArray;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
// AHAH!! - So we do need that Activity Context after all...*TISK* *TISK* # Google **sigh**.
progDial = ProgressDialog.show(mAct, "Please wait...", "Fetching the strawberries & cream", true, false);
}
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
// Checks on the server if collector is registered
try {
jObj = ServerUtilities.UserRegistered(context, collector);
return true; // return whatever Boolean you require here.
} finally {
return false; // return whatever Boolean you require here.
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
progDial.dismiss();
try {
String success = jObj.getString(TAG_SUCCESS);
Log.d(TAG_COLLECTOR, "Final Info: " + success);
// This 'if' block checks if the user is correct...
if (Objects.equals(success, "1")){
//GOOD! THE COLLECTOR EXISTS!!
}
// You can then also use the Boolean result here if you need to...
if (result) {
// GOOD! THE COLLECTOR EXISTS!!
} else {
// Oh my --> We need to try again!! :(
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(TAG_COLLECTOR, "JSON parsing didn't work");
Toast.makeText(mAct, "JSON parsing FAILED - Please try again.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
...then if you want to use the generated Boolean data outside the AsyncTask class try the following:.
RegisterCollector regisColctr = new RegisterCollector((AppCompatActivity) this, String[] myStrArry);
AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> exeRegisColctr = regisColctr.execute("");
Boolean isColctrRegistered = false;
try {
isColctrRegistered = exeRegisColctr.get(); // This is how you FINALLY 'get' the Boolean data outside the AsyncTask...-> VERY IMPORTANT!!
} catch (InterruptedException in) {
in.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
if (isColctrRegistered) {
// Do whatever tasks you need to do here based on the positive (i.e. 'true') AsyncTask Bool result...
} else {
// Do whatever tasks you need to do here based on the negative (i.e. 'false') AsyncTask Bool result...
}
There you go - I think this is what you were looking for (originally). I always use this approach whenever I need Async data externally, and it has yet to fail me....

Queue-ing image paths for later upload

I'm having difficulties keeping track of my queue and uploading them at a later moment.
The upload image is a asynctask and in the postexecute a mail is going out to send the uploaded picture.
This is my UploadImage AsyncTask. I think i'm doing way too difficult and that it can be done much easier than it is right now.
private class UploadImageTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Integer> {
ProgressDialog dialog;
/**
* Private integer which counts how many times we've tried to upload the
* Image.
*/
private int _counter = 0;
private List<String> imageUploadList = new ArrayList<String>();
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
if(AppStatus.haveNetworkConnection(_context)){
if(isPhotoTaken()){
dialog = new ProgressDialog(Step4.this);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
dialog.setMessage(getString(R.string.uploadingMessage));
dialog.setTitle(getString(R.string.uploadingTitle));
dialog.show();
}
}
}
protected Integer doInBackground(Void... params) {
init();
postData();
return null;
}
public void init(){
_counter = 0;
_beenHere = true;
for(String path : imageUploadList){
Debug.out("Path: "+path);
}
}
public void postData() {
if (isPhotoTaken()) {
if(AppStatus.haveNetworkConnection(_context)){
if(_beenHere){
ImageUploader.uploadFile(getPhotoPath(),
"http://obo.nl/android-upload-image.php", Step4.this);
} else {
for(String path : imageUploadList){
Debug.out(path);
ImageUploader.uploadFile(path,
"http://obo.nl/android-upload-image.php", Step4.this);
}
}
} else {
if (_counter == 0) {
_counter++;
_activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(_context,
getString(R.string.noInternetImageNotUploaded),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
imageUploadList.add(getPhotoPath());
}
try {
if(_beenHere){
_beenHere = false;
goToNextIntent();
}
Thread.sleep(10000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
postData();
}
}
}
private void goToNextIntent(){
Intent intent = new Intent(Step4.this, Step5.class);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, (Serializable) _user);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE2, _isRepairable);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE3, _injury);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE4, _category);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE5, _inch);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE6, _size);
startActivity(intent);
}
protected void onPostExecute(Integer result) {
if(isPhotoTaken()){
if(dialog != null){
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
mailing(_isRepairable);
new MyAsyncTask().execute(_mail);
}
}
The line:
if(AppStatus.haveNetworkConnection(_context))
returns a boolean true if the user has a working internet connection. false otherwise.
What I want is to queue all the image paths (and mails sent afterwards) in the desired ArrayList so i can send them all at a later moment when the user has a working internet Connection. Please help me out!
You could store your image paths in a list (or something similar) and persist the list, let's say in Shared Preferences. As you finish uploading a picture, you will remove it from that list and continue to the next one, and so on until your list is empty.
While uploading, if the internet connection drops it will not affect you, you will always have persisted the list of images that are still to be uploaded.
Register a broadcast receiver to listen for wi-fi connection, when it gets connected it could automatically continue the upload - this is just a suggestion.

Handle AsyncTask in Class

I am using AsyncTask Class to handle images that are coming from the server to display it in the ImageView I have one Next button in my code to call the next image using following code:
private class LoadImage extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
if (imgque != null) {
imgSelectedQue.setImageDrawable(imgque);
if (getActivity() != null) {
adjustResourceEnvelope();
}
}
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
imgque = null;
imgSelectedQue.setImageDrawable(null);
imgSelectedQue.requestLayout();
}
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
InputStream is;
try {
is = (InputStream) new URL(Constants.PLAYER_SERVICE_BASE_URL + "/playerservice"
+ imageurl).getContent();
imgque = Drawable.createFromStream(is, null);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
imgque = null;
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
Now the issue is that if I click the next button REPEATEDLY then it call the AsyncTask that many times and ImageView displaying all the images like "Slide-Show" because all the url images are in queue.
Is there any way to display only last AsyncTask call image?
Do something like this:
[1] When you call LoadImage AsyncTask on click of NEXT button disable NEXT button.
[2] On onPreExecute() method of your LoadImage AsyncTask enable your NEXT button again.
OR,
You can achieve such things with use of simple FLAG also. By setting it as true and false.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
I Found the Solution for this.If anyone facing the same issue.
I Added new lines
if (loadimage != null)
{
loadimage.cancel(true);
loadimage = null;
}
loadimage.cancel(true) will stop the AsyncTask if it is already Running
then execute the AsycTask()
loadimage = new LoadImage();
loadimage.execute();
In this way i am able to call only last AsyncTask that what I required.

Performing data loading unitl succesfull or user break

In my app I performing loading data from web and then displaying it to user. Before loading data app shows progress dialog. I have problem if user locks phone in the middle of loading operation, or server is overloaded and can't respond in time my application freezes, because it doesn't dismiss progress dialog, or in some cases it crashes because lack on needed data.
If some error happened while loading data I want show some dialog to user to let him know about error and ask him should application repeat last request. I tried to use AlertDialog for it, but I haven't succeed.
Here is code of one activity (There is no progress dialog here, but it demonstrates how I loading data):
#EActivity(R.layout.layout_splash)
#RoboGuice
public class SplashScreenActivity extends Activity {
#Inject
private AvtopoiskParserImpl parser;
#Bean
BrandsAndRegionsHolder brandsAndRegionsHolder;
#ViewById(R.id.splash_progress)
ProgressBar progressBar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
loadData();
}
#Background
protected void loadData() {
publishProgress(10);
LinkedHashMap<String, Integer> brands = null;
try {
brands = parser.getBrands();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(e.getMessage());
}
publishProgress(50);
LinkedHashMap<String, Integer> regions = null;
try {
regions = parser.getRegions();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(e.getMessage());
}
publishProgress(70);
populateData(brands, regions);
}
#UiThread
protected void populateData(LinkedHashMap<String, Integer> brands, LinkedHashMap<String, Integer> regions) {
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashScreenActivity.this, SearchActivity_.class);
brandsAndRegionsHolder.brandsMap = brands;
brandsAndRegionsHolder.regionsMap = regions;
publishProgress(100);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
#UiThread
void publishProgress(int progress) {
progressBar.setProgress(progress);
}
}
parser.getBrands() and parser.getRegions() are loading data from the web.
I want to do something like this:
boolean repeatRequest = true;
while (repeatRequest) {
try {
brands = parser.getBrands();
repeatRequest = false;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(e.getMessage());
repeatRequest = showErrorDialog();
}
}
But I didn't manage to do so because this code executes in background thread, but dialog should be shown in UI thread.
I believe that it should be standard approach of doing so, but didn't manage to find it.
Any ides how can I implement this?
The best way is to use AsyncTask.
private class LoadDataTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Object> {
private ProgressDialog mProgress;
protected Object doInBackground(Void... params) {
// This method runs in background
Object result = null;
try {
result = parser.parse();
} catch (Exception e) {
result = e.getMessage();
}
return result;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {
// This method runs in UI thread
mProgress.setProgress(progress[0]);
}
protected void onPreExecute() {
// This method runs in UI thread
mProgress = new ProgressDialog(context);
mProgress.show();
}
protected void onPostExecute(Object result) {
// This method runs in UI thread
mProgress.dismiss();
if (result instance of String) {
// Here you can launch AlertDialog with error message and proposal to retry
showErrorDialog((String) result);
} else {
populateData(result);
}
}
}
