I am trying to add ListView items one by one. So if I have say -- 60 items -- the application would add the views to the list view one at a time -- thus showing the user that the application is loading more things.
This is my code:
try {
JSONArray j = getTaggsJSON();
Log.v(TAG, String.valueOf(j.length()));
a = new createSpecialAdapter(this, R.layout.individual_tagg_view,
R.layout.list_item, view, j);
ListView v = this.getListView();
v.setStackFromBottom(true);
setListAdapter(a);
new addViewsToList().execute(j);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ServiceException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private class addViewsToList extends AsyncTask<JSONArray, View, List<View>> {
protected List<View> doInBackground(JSONArray... jsonArrays) {
List<View> v = new ArrayList<View>();
Log.v(TAG, String.valueOf(jsonArrays[0].length()));
for (int x = 0; x < jsonArrays[0].length(); x++) {
try {
Log.v(TAG, jsonArrays[0].getJSONObject(x).toString());
v.add(ViewAdapter.createTaggView(jsonArrays[0]
.getJSONObject(x), c));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
publishProgress(v.get(x));
}
return v;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(View... v) {
Log.v(TAG, "I'm updating my progress!");
a.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
protected void onPostExecute(List<View> views) {
Log.v(TAG, "i'm done!");
Log.v(TAG, String.valueOf(views.size()));
}
}
So, it looks like my code is printing out the views correctly, and putting them in the list correctly, however my activity displays nothing. What am I doing wrong? I thought setting the adapter before -- when there are no views in the list -- and then updating the adapter that the list was changed was the right way to go.... Obviously not.. Can anyone help me?
If you need clarification on my questions please let me know.
EDIT: Here is the adapter code to supplement my question.
private class SpecialAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<JSONArray> {
JSONArray json;
public SpecialAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,
int listItem, JSONArray j) {
super(context, textViewResourceId);
this.json = j;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
Log.v(TAG,"I'm inside the getView method.");
try {
JSONObject info = json.getJSONObject(position);
Log.v(TAG,info.toString());
if (convertView == null) {
LayoutInflater i = (LayoutInflater) RecentTaggs.this
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = i.inflate(R.layout.individual_tagg_view, parent,
false);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.username = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.userName);
holder.review = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.review_text);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.review.setText(info.getString("review"));
return convertView;
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
My output doesn't output any of my Log.v statements, and doesn't show that its even inside the GetView method.
