I am getting data from server and then parsing it and storing it in a List. I am using this list for the RecyclerView's adapter. I am using Fragments.
I am using a Nexus 5 with KitKat. I am using support library for this. Will this make a difference?
Here is my code: (Using dummy data for the question)
Member Variables:
List<Business> mBusinesses = new ArrayList<Business>();
RecyclerView recyclerView;
RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;
BusinessAdapter mBusinessAdapter;
My onCreateView()
:
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Getting data from server
getBusinessesDataFromServer();
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_business_list,
container, false);
recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view
.findViewById(R.id.business_recycler_view);
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
mBusinessAdapter = new BusinessAdapter(mBusinesses);
recyclerView.setAdapter(mBusinessAdapter);
return view;
}
After getting data from server, parseResponse()
is called.
protected void parseResponse(JSONArray response, String url) {
// insert dummy data for demo
mBusinesses.clear();
Business business;
business = new Business();
business.setName("Google");
business.setDescription("Google HeadQuaters");
mBusinesses.add(business);
business = new Business();
business.setName("Yahoo");
business.setDescription("Yahoo HeadQuaters");
mBusinesses.add(business);
business = new Business();
business.setName("Microsoft");
business.setDescription("Microsoft HeadQuaters");
mBusinesses.add(business);
Log.d(Const.DEBUG, "Dummy Data Inserted\nBusinesses Length: "
+ mBusinesses.size());
mBusinessAdapter = new BusinessAdapter(mBusinesses);
mBusinessAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
My BusinessAdapter:
public class BusinessAdapter extends
RecyclerView.Adapter<BusinessAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private List<Business> mBusinesses = new ArrayList<Business>();
// Provide a reference to the type of views that you are using
// (custom viewholder)
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView mTextViewName;
public TextView mTextViewDescription;
public ImageView mImageViewLogo;
public ViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
mTextViewName = (TextView) v
.findViewById(R.id.textView_company_name);
mTextViewDescription = (TextView) v
.findViewById(R.id.textView_company_description);
mImageViewLogo = (ImageView) v
.findViewById(R.id.imageView_company_logo);
}
}
// Provide a suitable constructor (depends on the kind of dataset)
public BusinessAdapter(List<Business> myBusinesses) {
Log.d(Const.DEBUG, "BusinessAdapter -> constructor");
mBusinesses = myBusinesses;
}
// Create new views (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public BusinessAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,
int viewType) {
Log.d(Const.DEBUG, "BusinessAdapter -> onCreateViewHolder()");
// create a new view
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(
R.layout.item_business_list, parent, false);
ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(v);
return vh;
}
// Replace the contents of a view (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
// - get element from your dataset at this position
// - replace the contents of the view with that element
Log.d(Const.DEBUG, "BusinessAdapter -> onBindViewHolder()");
Business item = mBusinesses.get(position);
holder.mTextViewName.setText(item.getName());
holder.mTextViewDescription.setText(item.getDescription());
holder.mImageViewLogo.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
}
// Return the size of your dataset (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
Log.d(Const.DEBUG, "BusinessAdapter -> getItemCount()");
if (mBusinesses != null) {
Log.d(Const.DEBUG, "mBusinesses Count: " + mBusinesses.size());
return mBusinesses.size();
}
return 0;
}
}
But I don't get the data displayed in the view. What am I doing wrong?
Here is my log,
07-14 21:15:35.669: D/xxx(2259): Dummy Data Inserted
07-14 21:15:35.669: D/xxx(2259): Businesses Length: 3
07-14 21:26:26.969: D/xxx(2732): BusinessAdapter -> constructor
I don't get any logs after this. Shouldn't getItemCount()
in adapter should be called again?

In your parseResponse()
you are creating a new instance of the BusinessAdapter
class, but you aren't actually using it anywhere, so your RecyclerView
doesn't know the new instance exists.
You either need to:
recyclerView.setAdapter(mBusinessAdapter)
again to update the RecyclerView's adapter reference to point to your new onemBusinessAdapter = new BusinessAdapter(mBusinesses);
to continue using the existing adapter. Since you haven't changed the mBusinesses
reference, the adapter will still use that array list and should update correctly when you call notifyDataSetChanged()
.I had same problem. I just solved it with declaring adapter
public before onCreate
of class.
PostAdapter postAdapter;
after that
postAdapter = new PostAdapter(getActivity(), posts);
recList.setAdapter(postAdapter);
at last I have called:
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
// Display the size of your ArrayList
Log.i("TAG", "Size : " + posts.size());
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
postAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
May this will helps you.
Clear your old viewmodel and set the new data to the adapter and call notifyDataSetChanged()
Try this method:
List<Business> mBusinesses2 = mBusinesses;
mBusinesses.clear();
mBusinesses.addAll(mBusinesses2);
//and do the notification
a little time consuming, but it should work.
In my case, force run #notifyDataSetChanged in main ui thread will fix
public void refresh() {
clearSelection();
// notifyDataSetChanged must run in main ui thread, if run in not ui thread, it will not update until manually scroll recyclerview
((Activity) ctx).runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
}
Just to complement the other answers as I don't think anyone mentioned this here: notifyDataSetChanged()
should be executed on the main thread (other notify<Something>
methods of RecyclerView.Adapter
as well, of course)
From what I gather, since you have the parsing procedures and the call to notifyDataSetChanged()
in the same block, either you're calling it from a worker thread, or you're doing JSON parsing on main thread (which is also a no-no as I'm sure you know). So the proper way would be:
protected void parseResponse(JSONArray response, String url) {
// insert dummy data for demo
// <yadda yadda yadda>
mBusinessAdapter = new BusinessAdapter(mBusinesses);
// or just use recyclerView.post() or [Fragment]getView().post()
// instead, but make sure views haven't been destroyed while you were
// parsing
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
mBusinessAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
}
PS Weird thing is, I don't think you get any indications about the main thread thing from either IDE or run-time logs. This is just from my personal observations: if I do call notifyDataSetChanged()
from a worker thread, I don't get the obligatory Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views message or anything like that - it just fails silently (and in my case one off-main-thread call can even prevent succeeding main-thread calls from functioning properly, probably because of some kind of race condition)
Moreover, neither the RecyclerView.Adapter api reference nor the relevant official dev guide explicitly mention the main thread requirement at the moment (the moment is 2017) and none of the Android Studio lint inspection rules seem to concern this issue either.
But, here is an explanation of this by the author himself
Although it is a bit strange, but the notifyDataSetChanged
does not really work without setting new values to adapter. So, you should do:
array = getNewItems();
((MyAdapter) mAdapter).setValues(array); // pass the new list to adapter !!!
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
This has worked for me.
