Getting Parse Object ID from onListItemClick

I am currently working on an app which contains a friends list when logged in and user profiles. When the user clicks on a friend in the friends list, I would like them to be directed to a profile page for this friend. To do this, I have been trying to extract the specific object id from the user that is clicked on in the list view and then pass that onto the next activity where I use it to run a query for all the users other attributes (name, email, hometown, etc.). I have figured out how to pass along data through intents but I am having all sorts of trouble obtaining the user id from the list item clicked. My onItemCLick code is below.

```

public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

    ParseObject item = (ParseObject) l.getAdapter().getItem(position);
    String objectID = item.getObjectId().toString();

    Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), FriendsProfileActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra("ID", objectID);
    startActivity(intent);

```

I have also tried something of this sort to not avail.

```

public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
     super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

     ParseObject item = (ParseObject) l.getAdapter().getItem(position);
     item.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
         @Override
         public void done(ParseException e) {
             if(e == null) {
                 String objectID = item.getObjectId();
                 Log.e(TAG, objectID);

                 Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), FriendsProfileActivity.class);
                 intent.putExtra("ID", objectID);
                 startActivity(intent);
                }
                else {
                    Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
                }
            }
        });

    }

```

In both cases, the app crashes when I click on the user in the list view. How can I succesfully pull the object ID from the user clicked on and pass it along?

Edit: Here is the logcat error.

Solution

  • Have a look at ParseQueryAdapter

    Docs: https://parse.com/docs/android_guide#ui-queryadapter

    Tutorial: https://parse.com/tutorials/parse-query-adapter

    API: https://parse.com/docs/android/api/com/parse/ParseQueryAdapter.html.

    Also I would recommend EventBus to pass the ParseObject to the next Activity https://github.com/greenrobot/EventBus.

    Then you can do:

    Adapter:

    Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), FriendsProfileActivity.class);
EventBus.getDefault().postSticky(YourParseObject);
startActivity(intent);

    Anywhere in FriendsProfileActivity:

    ParseObject yourParseObject = EventBus.getDefault().getStickyEvent(ParseObject.class);

    If you move on to using subclasses in parse.com, then any subclass can be sent via the EventBus this way.

    Example code - untested but should be close to what you want

    The ParseQueryAdapter:

    The layout for R.layout.adapter_item_friend - can be customized but nothing fancy here

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="5dp"
    android:paddingTop="5dp">


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="item" />

</RelativeLayout>

    The Adapter:

    public class ParseUserFriendsAdapter extends ParseQueryAdapter<ParseUser> {

    private static final String TAG = ParseUserFriendsAdapter.class.getSimpleName();

    public ParseUserFriendsAdapter(Context context) {
        super(context, new ParseQueryAdapter.QueryFactory<ParseUser>() {

            @Override
            public ParseQuery<ParseUser> create() {
                ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
                ParseRelation<ParseUser> friendsRelation = currentUser.getRelation(ParseConstants.KEY_FRIENDS_RELATION);
                ParseQuery<ParseUser> query =  friendsRelation.getQuery();
                query.addAscendingOrder(ParseConstants.KEY_USERNAME);
                return query;
            }
        });
    }

    @InjectView(R.id.text) TextView text;

    @Override
    public View getItemView(final ParseUser user, View v, ViewGroup parent) {

        if (v == null) {
            v = View.inflate(getContext(), R.layout.adapter_item_friend,
                    null);
        }

        super.getItemView(user, v, parent);

        ButterKnife.inject(this, v);

        text.setText(user.getUsername());


        return v;

    }

}

    I am using a regular fragment containing a ListView in it's layout:

    R.layout.yourfriendslistlayout:

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:dividerHeight="1dp" />

</LinearLayout>

    The important parts of the code in the fragment:

    @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");

    mAdapter = new ParseUserFriendsAdapter(getActivity());

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

@InjectView(R.id.listview) ListView mListView;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(
            R.layout.yourfriendslistlayout, container, false);

    ButterKnife.inject(this, rootView);

    /** Setting the list adapter for the ListFragment */
    mListView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
    mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {

            // Now it is easy to get the ParseObject that is clicked
            ParseUser friend = mAdapter.getItem(position);

            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "clicked " + friend.getObjectId(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            EventBus.getDefault().postSticky(friend);

            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(),
                    FriendsProfileActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);

        }
    });
    return rootView;
}

    Optional addition to the fragment code:

    /* 
 *This last part automatically sets the load indicator whenever parse performs a query 
 */
private final OnQueryLoadListener<ParseUser> queryListener = new OnQueryLoadListener<ParseUser>() {

    @Override
    public void onLoaded(List<ParseUser> arg0, Exception arg1) {
        getActivity().setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(Boolean.FALSE);
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoading() {
        getActivity().setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(Boolean.TRUE);
    }
};

@Override
public void onResume() {
    mAdapter.addOnQueryLoadListener(queryListener);
    super.onResume();
}

@Override
public void onPause() {
    mAdapter.removeOnQueryLoadListener(queryListener);
    super.onPause();
}
