Question

I have divided my android screen into 2 fragements .In the first one I make a listview from server database to android mobile.The problem is that I can't call getview method in the base adapter class. Do help me out

    public class MyListFragment1 extends ListFragment {

ImageView back;
String url = Main.url;
String Qrimage;
Bitmap bmp;
ListView  list ;

AppetiserFragment adapter;
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.applistviewfragment, container, false);

}
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


    // back=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.backfoodmenu);
    /*
     * back.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
     * 
     * public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     * Intent intent=new Intent(getApplicationContext(),FoodMenu.class);
     * intent.putExtra("url", url); startActivity(intent); } });
     */
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> mylist = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

    InputStream is = null;
    String result = "";
    JSONObject jArray = null;
    try {
        HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url + "test.php3");
        HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        is = entity.getContent();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
        Log.e("Log", "Error in Connection" + e.toString());

        // Intent intent = new Intent(ViewQRCode.this, PimCarder.class);

        // startActivity(intent);

    }
    try {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        String line = null;
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line + "\n");
        }
        is.close();
        result = sb.toString();
        jArray = new JSONObject(result);

        JSONArray json = jArray.getJSONArray("appetiser");

        Context context = null;
        context = this.getActivity().getApplicationContext();
                   //(Here i want give lisid from xml)
                     list=(Listview)findViewById(R.id.list);//i type here it shows an error
        adapter = new AppetiserFragment(context, json);

        context = getActivity().getApplicationContext();
        list.setAdapter(adapter);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
        Log.e("log", "Error in Passing data" + e.toString());
    }
}

}

    return view;
}


static class ViewHolder {

    protected TextView text, price, desc, appitemnum;
    protected ImageView image;

}

 }

Answer 1

You can also user ListActivity instead of ListFragment. It will behave like normal activity and you can find all the list related methods easily.

like this..,

 public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
oncreate() {
** code
ListView list = getListView();

 **code
}
}

I think as you are using the custom list with you id "R.id.list" so no need to extend your fragment with listFragment extend with Fragment only.

other wise if you want use the listFragment then use like in XML

<ListView  android:id="@id/android:list"  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0"
        android:layout_marginTop="2dip" android:scrollingCache="false"
        android:clickable="true" android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
        android:focusable="true"
         android:background="@drawable/listfocused"
        android:dividerHeight="1dip"  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"/>

in java get list as

ListView  list = this.getListView();

Macready

i kept list as like u given to my xml. and then i changed java code as like ListView list = this.getListView();.. but i get same exception as data.lang.null pointer exception – Caron

see this code developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/fragments.html as not sure what you missed in code..... – Macready

please see my updated code . I want call list id from xml to java . if i call it shows an erroor – Caron

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {    
...
    list=(Listview)findViewById(R.id.list);//i type here it shows an error
...
}

This is because you are trying to find the views in the onCreate() method; at this point of time, the fragment's layout has not yet been inflated, hence all findViewById() calls will return null.

You can only find the view after the layout is inflated, which is in onCreateView(). So override the onCreateView() method and call findViewById() and set the list's adapter there!
