For some reason the onPreExecute isn't being called. Code:

This is giving me a NullPointerException, I know I've had this problem before but I don't remember what I did to fix it. Please help! :P
The reason the #Override is causing a problem in Eclipse (and the reason the method isn't being called) is that you have made a typing error.
You are calling it onPreExcecute (note the 'c' after the 'x' shouldn't be there). Correct it to be onPreExecute and use #Override for that.

So I've been cracking my brain with this issues. I'm trying to validate if the an user credentials on a app connected to mysql are valid. The thing is that wherever I try to compare the result of the query with a string all I get is the else statement.
Here's the Fragment for the Login
package com.example.pablorjd.CheckThisOut;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class Login extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText etUsername;
EditText etPassword;
Button btnLogin;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
etUsername = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etUsername);
etPassword = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etPassword);
btnLogin = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);
}
public void onLogin(View view){
String username = etUsername.getText().toString();
String password = etPassword.getText().toString();
String type = "login";
BackgroundWorker backgroundWorker = new BackgroundWorker(this);
backgroundWorker.execute(type,username,password);
}
}
I'm using a background class to make the connection to mysql

I know the DB connections is working because I'm actually receiving the message that I set on the php file.
All I know is that for some reason the if statement is not working for this.
please if someone could shed a light for me that'd be great.
OK so, for some reason, the validation just wouldn't take the string comparison and instead jumped to the else statement showing in this case a Toast. What I had to do was to modify the string given to me by the php file so it would be just a number (0 or 1 in this case). then I parsed the string into an int and the if worked like a charm.
This is the resulting code
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
int val = Integer.parseInt(result.replaceAll("[\\D]",""));
if (val == 0){
Intent intent = new Intent(context,MainActivity.class);
context.startActivity(intent);
Toast.makeText(context,"Login exitoso",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}else{
Toast.makeText(context,"Login erroneo",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
I still don't know why the if statement wouldn't work with strings.
I'm developing an app and now I have to pass a parameter to a RESTful Service's URL. I'm using AsyncTask, and I need to pass a text from a list view as a parameter to the URL, for example: the URL is http://ip:7001/product?product_name=PARAM I need to get the text from the selected item from my list view, and pass as a parameter in PARAM, using AsyncTask. I've already got the text from the item in the listView, now I just need to pass it as a parameter.
This is my AsycTask class:

In the URL_STRING I need to pass the param at pro_nome=?

final ListView listaProdutos = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.listaprodutos);
ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(getView().getContext(),android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, result);
listaProdutos.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
listaProdutos.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parentAdapter, View view, int position,
long id) {
String nomeProduto = listaProdutos.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
retornaParam(nomeProduto);
Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), DetalhesProdutoActivity.class);
//intent.putExtra("pro_nome", listaProdutos.getItemAtPosition(position).toString());
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
I get the text and store it in param from the retornaParam method.
Does somebody know how to do it?
If you need more information, just let me know.
You pass in params to an AsyncTask using:
YourAsyncTask.execute(yourview.getText(), "and", "more", "params");
You can then access them in
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
URL_STRING += params[0];
...
Just add the following code before sending executing your httpClient:
URL_STRING + = textInsideYourTextView;
It should work, just avoid to manipulate your ui elements outside your UI thread.
I'm trying to connect to a servlet in localhost from my Android Emulator.

Access to project HttpGetrequest from Android Emulator browser, it worked ;
I'm trying to get it so my app can read the words from my textfile separated by a carriage enter and spit them back out from a String array. My app starts up then just gives me a blank page which is pretty frustrating. Here is my code:

I don't know if this will solve anything, but you can try declaring your List as shown in Oracle's documentation. I will look further in a bit.
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
if it's not a typo, your problem is here:
String[] wordsArray=new String[list.size()];
list.toArray(wordsArray);
it should be:
String[] wordsArray = list.toArray( new String[0] );
otherwise the array is filled with nulls
First, you need to store your text file in the assets folder
then you need to call the AssetManager to get the assets in your assets folder
AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
InputStream inputStream = null;
surround these statements with a try block, in case the file is not found in the stated path
inputStream = assetManager.open("texts/sample.txt"); // path is relative to the assets folder
ByteArrayOutputStream bytesOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] bytes = new byte[4096];
int length = 0;
read the the bytes and write them in an output stream
while((length = inputStream.read(bytes)) > 0)
bytesOutputStream.write(bytes,0,length);
create a new String, use the constructor with the byteOutputStream
encode it with UTF8(assuming there wont be any chinese, japanese, etc characters)
See this for more details about UTF Details
String yourString = new String(bytesOutputStream.toByteArray(), "UTF8");
Java String class has a method "split", which takes a regex as a parameter
it splits the string and stores it into a single element in an array everytime it encounters a new line
in your case, use '\n' which stands for new line
String[] yourStringArray = yourString.split("\n");
Surround everything with a try-catch clause (IOException), which is thrown in case file is not found
you can now use yourStringArray as
textView.setText(yourStringArray[index]);
You got a blank screen because you have a sleep at your main UI thread. Do reading the file in an AsyncTask and publish its process.
Your onCreate method should look like this:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ReadAndUpdateTextTask readAndUpdateTextTask = new ReadAndUpdateTextTask();
readAndUpdateTextTask.execute();
}
class ReadAndUpdateTextTask extends AsyncTask<Void, String, String> {
InputStream isr;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
isr = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.test);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
String currentString = "";
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(isr));
while ((line = reader.readLine())!= null) {
currentString += line + "\n";
publishProgress(currentString);
// I don't think you really need this but you want a sleep for 5000 ms
SystemClock.sleep(5000);
}
isr.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
return currentString;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... currentString) {
TextView helloTxt= (TextView)findViewById(R.id.hellotxt);
helloTxt.setText(currentString[0]);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
TextView helloTxt= (TextView)findViewById(R.id.hellotxt);
helloTxt.setText(result);
}
}
}
I am new to Android. I have an AsyncTask that is downloading the content of a URL.
I didn't want the AsyncTask to manipulate the UI directly and want it to have it as a reusable peice of code so I have put it in a file of its own and it returns a string.
The problem is that the the return happens before the AsyncTask is finished (even though I am using the .get() of the .excecute()), so I get nothing back.
Here is waht I have at the moment:
package com.example.mypackage;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
public class URLContent {
private String content = "default value";
public String getContent(String URL){
try {
new getAsyncContent().execute(URL).get();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
content = e.getMessage();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
content = e.getMessage();
}
return content;
}
private class getAsyncContent extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String>
{
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
content = result;
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
try{
return URLResponse(urls[0]);
} catch (Exception e){
return e.getMessage();
}
}
}
private String IStoString(InputStream stream) throws IOException, UnsupportedEncodingException {
try {
return new java.util.Scanner(stream, "UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next();
} catch (java.util.NoSuchElementException e) {
return "";
}
}
private String URLResponse(String URLToget) throws IOException {
InputStream is = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(URLToget);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.connect();
is = conn.getInputStream();
// Convert the InputStream into a string
String contentAsString = IStoString(is);
return contentAsString;
} finally {
if (is != null) {
is.close();
}
}
}
}
What would be the best way to solve that so that my main thread somehow gets back the results?
I have come accross some articles mentioning events and callbacks. Is that the best way..?
Don't do get(). Simply have whatever logic deals with result of your URL execution right inside doInBackground method. From which you don't have to return anything. In your particular case the problem is that get() is executed right away before the result is delivered
This is asynchronous execution and you can't apply linear logic to it
Thanks for all your help. I will try the solution for extending the asyncTask class by Alex, sounds like a clean solution.
I managed to do what I was trying to by using an interface in the class with the AsyncTask and adding an event listener on the main class.
So my class that gets the content now looks like this:
package com.example.test;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
public class URLContent {
public void getContent(String URL){
new getAsyncContent().execute(URL);
}
public interface OnContentDownloadedListener{
public abstract void onContentDownloaded(String content);
}
private OnContentDownloadedListener contentDownloadedListener = null;
public void setOnContentDownloadedListener(OnContentDownloadedListener content){
contentDownloadedListener = content;
}
private class getAsyncContent extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String>
{
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
contentDownloadedListener.onContentDownloaded(result);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
try{
return URLResponse(urls[0]);
} catch (Exception e){
return e.getMessage();
}
}
}
private String IStoString(InputStream stream) throws IOException, UnsupportedEncodingException {
try {
return new java.util.Scanner(stream, "UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next();
} catch (java.util.NoSuchElementException e) {
return "";
}
}
private String URLResponse(String URLToget) throws IOException {
InputStream is = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(URLToget);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.connect();
is = conn.getInputStream();
// Convert the InputStream into a string
String contentAsString = IStoString(is);
return contentAsString;
} finally {
if (is != null) {
is.close();
}
}
}
}
And then in my main class I just have an event listener that handles the update of the UI
urlContent.setOnContentDownloadedListener(new URLContent.OnContentDownloadedListener(){
public void onContentDownloaded(String content){
//update UI or do something with the data
}
Updating UI with the results of AsyncTask is the main purpose of onPostExecute(). To keep the implementation and the way it's used in UI separate, your Activity can extend your getAsyncContent class and override the onPostExecute() method. This method will be executed on UI thread.
If You do not need UI updates from Your asynchronous task, just create a simple thread to do the things. When complete, just send a broadcast.
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// Do the download here...
....
//
sendBroadcast(some_intent);
}).start();
