I am working on a RecyclerView which must be Draggable & swipeable. Everything works perfect.
The Data is getting Fetched in one class called ExerciseDataProvider & the RV code is another Fragment RecyclerListViewFragment.
The problem is that i can't notify Data changed from the FetchExercise on postExecute method. So the Data's are not getting populated in the RV.
Please Guide me in a Right Direction.

To update recyclerView from onPostExecute in a data provider class, your onPostExecute should have access to context where your recyclerView is defined.
Since your FetchExercise async task is defined inside ExerciseDataProvider class, try passing activity context to ExerciseDataProvider's constructor and then pass it on to FetchExercise async task as described here: getting context in AsyncTask
public class MyCustomTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Long> {
private Context mContext;
public MyCustomTask (Context context){
mContext = context;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Long result) {
//use mContext to update recycler view
}
}
}
Use the context to update the recyclerView.
UPDATE
Step 1
Define an interface that will notify your activity of data set change inside a class that initialises your data provider class and pass activity context to constructor of data provider class.
public class ExampleDataProviderFragment extends Fragment {
private AbstractDataProvider mDataProvider;
//Define an interface that will notify your activity of data set change
public interface EventListener {
void onNotifyDataSetChanged();
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setRetainInstance(true);
//Pass activity context to ExerciseDataProvider
mDataProvider = new ExerciseDataProvider(getActivity());
}
public AbstractDataProvider getDataProvider() {
return mDataProvider;
}
}
Step 2
Add context parameter to ExerciseDataProvider's constructor and use it to notify activity that implements your interface to notify dataset change.
public class ExerciseDataProvider extends AbstractDataProvider {
private List<ConcreteData> mData;
private ConcreteData mLastRemovedData;
private int mLastRemovedPosition = -1;
//Add context parameter to constructor
public ExerciseDataProvider(Context context) {
//Pass context to async task
new FetchExercise(context).execute();
mData = new LinkedList<>();
}
class FetchExercise extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Integer> {
Context mContext;
public FetchExercise(Context context) {
mContext = context;
}
@Override
protected Integer doInBackground(Void... params) {
...
return 1;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Integer result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
//Typecast context to interface defined above
//and notify dataset changes by calling its method
ExampleDataProviderFragment.EventListener eventListener = (ExampleDataProviderFragment.EventListener)mContext;
eventListener.onNotifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
}
Step 3
Implement above defined interface in your activity class and notify recyclerview adapter inside it
public class DraggableSwipeableExampleActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements ExampleDataProviderFragment.EventListener {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
}
//implement interface method and notify recyclerview of changes
@Override
public void onNotifyDataSetChanged() {
Fragment fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(FRAGMENT_LIST_VIEW);
// you might need to change visibility of `mWrappedAdapter` in the fragment that defines it or create a getter for it so that you can access it here
((RecyclerListViewFragment) fragment).mWrappedAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
...
}
