I am using the an asynchronous task to run a JSON downloader as thus: (abridged)
public class JSONDownloader extends AsyncTask<Object, Object, Object>{
@Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object... params) {
if(JSONstate == false){
try {
final URL url = new URL([REDACTED]);
final URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
urlConnection.connect();
final InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while (inputStream.available() > 0) {
sb.append((char) inputStream.read());
}
String result = sb.toString();
JSONObject jsonOrg = new JSONObject(result);
String ok = "ok";
Response = jsonOrg.getString("response");
System.out.println(Response);
if(Response.equals(ok)){
Settingsresponse = true;
orgName = jsonOrg.getString("orgName");
System.out.println("orgName" + orgName);
accessPointName = jsonOrg.getString("attendanceRecorderName");
System.out.println("accessPointName" + accessPointName);
lat = jsonOrg.getString("latitude");
System.out.println("lat" + lat);
longi = jsonOrg.getString("longitude");
System.out.println("longi" + longi);
floor = jsonOrg.getString("floor");
System.out.println("floor" + floor);
orgId = jsonOrg.getString("orgId");
System.out.println("orgId" + orgId);
}
else{
System.out.println("Data sent was erroneous");
Settingsresponse = false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.print(e);
}
}
else if(JSONstate == true){
try {
[redacted]
}
else{
System.out.println("Data sent was erroneous");
Settingsresponse = false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.print(e);
}
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result){
if(JSONstate == false){
System.out.println("This piece of code is definitely being run");
setfields();
}
else if(JSONstate == true){
settestfields();
//This method does not run upon the completion of the JSON request, as it supposedly should
}
}
}
Once the JSONRequest has been completed, the 'onPostExecute' method doesn't run. I have been attempting to use this method so that a set of fields can be updated as soon as the request is complete, instead of having to set a definite wait time. Am I simply utilizing the code wrong? Or is there something I've missed?
