I want to create an class file for Async task operation and from creating the object of that class file i want to access these method of async task with no of different class files with different parameters.
Methods of Async task include:-
OnPreExecute()-Want to start progress dialog same for each class.
doInbackground()-Want to perform background operation(like getting data from server) means passing parameter different for each class.
onPostExecute()-Dismiss the progress dialog and update the UI differnt for each class.
Now I'm writing the async task in my every class as inner class like the following:-
class loaddata extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(AddNewLineitem.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading Data. Please wait...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(true);
pDialog.setOnCancelListener(new OnCancelListener() {
@Override
public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
}
});
pDialog.show();
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
List<NameValuePair> params1 = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
JSONObject json = jparser.makeHttpRequest(url_foralldropdowns,
"GET", params1);
compoment = json.getJSONArray(COMPONENT_CODE);
for (int i = 1; i < compoment.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = compoment.getJSONObject(i);
String code = c.getString(CODE);
list_compoment.add(code);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
loadSpinnerData();
pDialog.dismiss();
}
}
And JSON parser class is as follows:-
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
// function get json from url
// by making HTTP POST or GET mehtod
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
List<NameValuePair> params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// check for request method
if (method == "POST") {
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
} else if (method == "GET") {
// request method is GET
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "utf-8");
url += "?" + paramString;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
And in oncreate() I call this and it works fine:-
new loaddata().execute();
We can reuse Aysntask with different parameters. For this
1.Create an Interface so that we can reuse,pass and receive parameters
public interface BackgroundListener {
public Object[] startBackgroundWork(Object... objs);
public void endBackgroundWork(Object... objs);
public void beforeBackgroundWork();
}
2.Create a Class Extending Asyntask
BackgroundHandler.java
import android.os.AsyncTask;
public class BackgroundHandler extends AsyncTask<Object, Object[], Object[]>{
BackgroundListener backgroundListener;
public void setBackgroundListener(BackgroundListener aBackgroundListener)
{
this.backgroundListener = aBackgroundListener;
}
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
backgroundListener.beforeBackgroundWork();
}
@Override
protected Object[] doInBackground(Object... objs) {
return backgroundListener.startBackgroundWork(objs);
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Object result[]) {
backgroundListener.endBackgroundWork(result);
}
}
Using in Activity
A.java
Class A extends Activity implements BackgroundListener
{
...onCreate()
{
BackgroundHandler backgroundHandler = new BackgroundHandler()
backgroundHandler.setBackgroundListner(this);
backgroundHandler.execute(new Object[]{url1});//pass any number of parameters of any object type
// show loading bar
}
public void beforeBackgroundWork()
{
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(A.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading Data. Please wait...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
.....
}
public Object[] startBackgroundWork(Object... objs)
{
// access and type convert the passed parameters like objs[0], objs[1]
//.... some time consuming stuff
//.... some time consuming stuff
String url_foralldropdowns = objs[0].toString();
List<NameValuePair> params1 = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
JSONObject json = jparser.makeHttpRequest(url_foralldropdowns,
"GET", params1);
JSONArray compoment = json.getJSONArray(COMPONENT_CODE);
//Create new list_compoment here instead of global declaration
for (int i = 1; i < compoment.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = compoment.getJSONObject(i);
String code = c.getString(CODE);
list_compoment.add(code);
}
retrun new Object[]{list_compoment};
}
public void endBackgroundWork(Object ...obj)
{
pDialog.dismiss();// hide loading bar
//access resultant parameters like objs[0], objs[1]
//user list_component will be in obj[0]
}
}
Similarly we can reuse in B.java
Class B extends Activity implements BackgroundListener
{
...
....
public void beforeBackgroundWork()
{
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(B.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading Data. Please wait...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
.....
}
public Object[] startBackgroundWork(Object... objs)
{
// access and type convert the passed parameters like objs[0], objs[1]
//.... some time consuming stuff
//.... some time consuming stuff
String url2 = objs[0].toString();
List<NameValuePair> params1 = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
JSONObject json = jparser.makeHttpRequest(url2,
"GET", params1);
JSONArray compoment = json.getJSONArray(COMPONENT_CODE);
//Create new list_compoment here instead of global declaration
for (int i = 1; i < compoment.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = compoment.getJSONObject(i);
String code = c.getString(CODE);
list_compoment.add(code);
}
retrun new Object[]{list_compoment};
}
public void endBackgroundWork(Object ...obj)
{
pDialog.dismiss();
.....
//user list_component will be in obj[0]
}
}
