I have a listView that when a user clicks on the cardView I am calling a web service from an employeeNumber tied to that position. I get the data of the new web service call onResponse from OkHttp3s enqueue. How do I update the listView to populate the new data from the response?
Really lost as I know the listView is using the adapter which the on click is made. So not sure how to call the listView, to populate the adapter after the response is completed.
My MainActivity where the first ListView is populated and the adapter is attached.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ProgressBar mProgressBar;
EmployeeDBHandler dbHandler;
private int mStartingEmployeeID = myStartingID;
private String table = "employees";
private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "OneTeam";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
dbHandler = new EmployeeDBHandler(getApplicationContext());
mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
SharedPreferences sharedPref = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
getXMLData();
//GUI for seeing android SQLite Database in Chrome Dev Tools
Stetho.InitializerBuilder inBuilder = Stetho.newInitializerBuilder(this);
inBuilder.enableWebKitInspector(Stetho.defaultInspectorModulesProvider(this));
Stetho.Initializer in = inBuilder.build();
Stetho.initialize(in);
}
public void getXMLData() {
OkHttpClient client = getUnsafeOkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(getString(R.string.API_FULL_URL))
.build();
client.newCall(request).enqueue(new Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
@Override
public void onResponse(Call call, final Response response) throws IOException {
final String responseData = response.body().string();
final InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(responseData.getBytes());
final XMLPullParserHandler parserHandler = new XMLPullParserHandler();
final ArrayList<Employee> employees = (ArrayList<Employee>) parserHandler.parse(stream);
for (Employee e : employees) {
dbHandler.addEmployee(e);
}
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
displayTopList();
displayBottomList();
}
});
}
});
}
public void displayTopList() {
SQLiteDatabase db = dbHandler.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor mTopListCursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM " + table + " WHERE " + "Employee_number" + "=" + mStartingEmployeeID, null);
ListView mTopListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.mTopList);
TopListCursorAdapter topAdapter = new TopListCursorAdapter(this, mTopListCursor);
mTopListView.setAdapter(topAdapter);
}
public void displayBottomList() {
SQLiteDatabase db = dbHandler.getWritableDatabase();

The CursorAdapter that has the button's onClick

Maybe you can try to use Loaders.
They let's you bind the data source (Content Provider or other) with the Activity or Fragment. While Loaders are active they should monitor the source of their data and deliver new results when the contents change.
I will give you a general approach to how implement them (CursorLoader in particular). I hope to be clear :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {
private static final int LOADER_INTEGER = 1;
// ... existing code
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
getLoaderManager().initLoader(LOADER_INTEGER, null, this);
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
return new CursorLoader(
this,
ContentProvider.CONTENT_URI,
projection,
null,
null,
sortOrder
);
}
@Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor cursor) {
mCursorAdapter.swapCursor(cursor);
}
@Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader) {
mCursorAdapter.swapCursor(null);
}
}
You can read a lot on internet about this, a good start is for example here.
Hope this helps!
