Android notifyDataSetChanged not refreshing the items after removing


So I am trying to remove the itempending however it does not remove it from the listview immediately on click. I have to go back and come back to this screen and it will be removed. However my other listview on the same screen was updated immediately (The submitted profile method). I tried to create a method that does the same function I need and call it in before the notifyDataSetChanged but nothing works. Any advise on why my notifyDataSetChanged is not working would be appreciated thanks.

ArrayAdapter<String> adapterSubmit, adapterPending;
    ArrayList<String> itemsSubmit, itemsPending;
    ListView lstSubmitPro, lstPendingPro;
    String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +  "/CaptureLogs";
    Button btnSubmit;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.content_pro_list);
        btnSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnTest);
        lstSubmitPro = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lstSubmitPro);
        lstPendingPro = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lstPendingPro);
        itemsSubmit = new ArrayList<String>();
        adapterSubmit = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.prolist, R.id.tvRows, itemsSubmit);
        lstSubmitPro.setAdapter(adapterSubmit);
        itemsPending = new ArrayList<String>();
        adapterPending = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, itemsPending);
        lstPendingPro.setAdapter(adapterPending);
        lstPendingPro.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
        pendingSubmitProfile();
        SubmittedProfile();
        btnSubmit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            SparseBooleanArray sp = lstPendingPro.getCheckedItemPositions();
            if (sp!= null) {
                for (int i = 0; i < sp.size(); i++) {
                    if (sp.valueAt(i) == true) {

                        SubmittedProfile();
                        adapterSubmit.notifyDataSetChanged();

                        itemsPending.remove(sp.get(i));
                        adapterPending.notifyDataSetChanged();
                        Toast.makeText(ProList.this, "Your profiles have been submitted successfully.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    } else {
                        Toast.makeText(ProList.this, "Please choose a profile to be submitted.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                }
            }
            }

        });

  public void pendingSubmitProfile()
    {
        File dir = new File(path);
        File[] files = dir.listFiles();

LOG

Before, 2 items but 1 checked

This is for 1 item and 1 checked. I cannot tell if this is before or after since theres only 1 printed on logcat. This will crash and error is as follows

05-02 08:03:35.345 4293-4293/com.example.irambi.irmobilewizard D/returned value:: 1 1 1

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Invalid index 0, size is 0

All the testing are done using

itemsPending.remove(sp.keyAt(i));
                      adapterPending.remove(adapterPending.getItem(sp.keyAt(i)));

Log based on:

Log.d("returned value:", itemsPending.size() + " " + sp.size()  + " " + adapterPending.getCount());

Solution

  • Try this one

    itemsPending.remove(sp.keyAt(i));
    adapterPending.remove(adapterPending.getItem(sp.keyAt(i)));
    adapterPending.notifyDataSetChanged();
    

    EDIT:

    So basically the switching of list data is working fine. What's messing the code is his file writing. I resolve it this way.

    First is a create a function that would update my Pending Files to submitted.

    public void submitPendingProfile(String filename){
        try {
            BufferedReader file = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path + "/" + filename+".txt"));
            String line;
            StringBuffer inputBuffer = new StringBuffer();
    
            while ((line = file.readLine()) != null) {
                inputBuffer.append(line);
                inputBuffer.append('\n');
            }
            String inputStr = inputBuffer.toString();
    
            file.close();
    
    
            inputStr = inputStr.replace("--PENDING SUBMIT--", "--SUBMITTED--");
    
            FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(path + "/" + filename+".txt");
            fileOut.write(inputStr.getBytes());
            fileOut.close();
    
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Problem reading file.");
        }
    }
    

    Then i refactor the loop for simplier process. Like removing the line SubmittedProfile(); that keeps reading all text files if conditions is true. That is a lot of process. Here's how instead.

    for(int i = lstPendingPro.getAdapter().getCount() - 1 ; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (sp.get(i)) {
           //So when file is submitted, i update the files status using the above function.
           submitPendingProfile(itemsPending.get(i));
    
           //To avoid rereading of files, just add the item before removing it to the pending list
           itemsSubmit.add(itemsPending.get(i));
           adapterSubmit.notifyDataSetChanged();
    
           itemsPending.remove(sp.keyAt(i));
           adapterPending.notifyDataSetChanged();
           Toast.makeText(ProList.this, "Your profiles have been submitted successfully.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
       }
    }
