RecyclerView Returning 'true' instead of JSON

My RecyclerView is returning the Boolean value 'true' for some odd reason.
I can't seem to fix the issue
This is the output I am getting
It should display text from the JSON
JSON LINK - https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?sources=cnn&apiKey=c80ddd850a524fe5975cad881d6f4aba
I am accessing the 'articles' JSON array and I want to display the title
MainActivity code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;
MyAdapter mViewAdapter;
List<News> news_list = new ArrayList<>();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
new ParseNewsJSON().execute();
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
//mRecyclerView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext()));
mViewAdapter = new MyAdapter(new ArrayList<News>());
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mViewAdapter);
}
public class ParseNewsJSON extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
private final String JSON_URL = "https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?sources=cnn&apiKey=c80ddd850a524fe5975cad881d6f4aba";
String result = "";
ArrayList<String> article_heading = new ArrayList<>();
#Override

try {

HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
InputStream inputStream = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
int data = reader.read();
while (data != -1) {
char current = (char) data;
result += current;
data = reader.read();
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("articles");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
News news = new News();
news.setHeading(String.valueOf(article_heading.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).optString("title"))));
// article_heading.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).optString("title"));
Log.d("news_JSON", article_heading.toString());
Log.d("news", news.getHeading().toString());
news_list.add(news);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mViewAdapter = new MyAdapter(news_list);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mViewAdapter);
mViewAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
super.onPostExecute(s);
}
}
}
MyAdapter Code:
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private List<News> newsArticleList;
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
public TextView title;
//description, genre;
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
title = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.textView_articleHeading);
// description = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.textView_description);
// image = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.rating);
}
}
public MyAdapter (List<News> newsArticleList){
this.newsArticleList = newsArticleList;
}
#Override
public MyAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.content_main, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(itemView);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
News news = newsArticleList.get(position);
holder.title.setText(news.getHeading());
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return newsArticleList.size();
}
}
News.Java;
public class News {
private String heading;
//private String descrpiton;
private String img;
public String getHeading() {
return heading;
}
public void setHeading(String heading) {
this.heading = heading;
}
public String getImg() {
return img;
}
public void setImg(String img) {
this.img = img;
}
}

Your problem is here
news.setHeading(String.valueOf(article_heading.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).optString("title"))));
article_heading is an ArrayList, the method add returns a boolean to whether the list has changed due to your call or not.
You are not adding the title, you are adding the return of the ArrayList method, what you need is to change that line to that
String title = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).optString("title");
article_heading.add(title);
news.setHeading(title);

change your onPostExecute as below
protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("articles");
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
News news = new News();
String headingFromJson = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("title");
article_heading.add(headingFromJson);
news.setHeading(headingFromJson);
// article_heading.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).optString("title"));
Log.d("news_JSON", article_heading.toString());
Log.d("news", news.getHeading().toString());
news_list.add(news);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mViewAdapter = new MyAdapter(news_list);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mViewAdapter);
mViewAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
super.onPostExecute(s);
}

You are setting the heading of the news in a wrong way.
You should be doing the following in your Aynctask:
news.setHeading(jsonArray.getJsonObject(i).getString("title"));
You are instead putting the title inside the arraylist using add method. And putting the result of the add method as the heading. Add method of arraylist returns a boolean value indicating if the addition to list was successful or not. Thus you keep getting true instead of the actual text

Try this:
In yout ParseNewsJSON class onpostexecute()
Change to :
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
News news = new News();
news.setHeading(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).optString("title"));
news_list.add(news);
}
Instead of:
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
News news = new News();
news.setHeading(String.valueOf(article_heading.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).optString("title"))));
// article_heading.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).optString("title"));
Log.d("news_JSON", article_heading.toString());
Log.d("news", news.getHeading().toString());
news_list.add(news);
}

JSON ListView filter not working

So I've got a project to make a simple job board app. I've retrieved my JSON data and have it displaying on my app but I want to be able to use a SearchView filter but I don't know how to access my SimpleAdapter from outside of an inner-class
Here is my code:
public class jobcategories extends Activity{
private TextView jobData;
private ProgressDialog myprocessingdialog;
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> jobList;
private ListView lv;
private SearchView sv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.jobcategories);
myprocessingdialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
jobList = new ArrayList<>();
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
sv = (SearchView) findViewById(R.id.search);
sv.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String text) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String text) {
adapter.getFilter().filter(text);
return false;
}
});
new JSONTask().execute("https://apidata.com");
}
public class JSONTask extends AsyncTask<String,String, String>{
protected void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPreExecute();
//Showing Progress dialogue
myprocessingdialog.setTitle("Please Wait..");
myprocessingdialog.setMessage("Loading");
myprocessingdialog.setCancelable(false);
myprocessingdialog.setIndeterminate(false);
myprocessingdialog.show();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
BufferedReader reader = null;
try{
URL url = new URL(params[0]);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
buffer.append(line);
}
String finalJson = buffer.toString();
JSONArray parentObject = new JSONArray(finalJson);
for (int i=0; i < parentObject.length(); i++) {
JSONObject job = parentObject.getJSONObject(i);
String JobTitle = job.getString("title");
String JobLocation = job.getString("location");
String finalTitle = JobTitle + " in " + JobLocation;
String JobCompany = "advert by "+job.getString("company");
String JobDescription = job.getString("description");
String JobApply = "How to Apply: " + job.getString("apply");
HashMap<String, String> jobs = new HashMap<>();
jobs.put("title", finalTitle);
jobs.put("company", JobCompany);
jobs.put("description", JobDescription);
jobs.put("apply", JobApply);
jobList.add(jobs);
}
}catch (MalformedURLException e){

}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String results) {
super.onPostExecute(results);
myprocessingdialog.cancel();
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
jobcategories.this, jobList,
R.layout.list_item, new String[]{"title", "company", "description", "apply"},
new int[]{R.id.title, R.id.company, R.id.description, R.id.apply});
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
}
Any help would be appreciated, am pretty new to android so if there is a better way for me to filter the data then I am open to changing the code.

Create an interface called OnJsonResultListener like so:
public interface OnJsonResultListener {
void onResult(String result);
}
Then make your Activity/Fragment implement that interface and do whatever with your simple adapter and the result from there. Then make the AsyncTask take a OnJsonResultListener in the constructor. Then in the onPostExecute method, call listener.onResult(results);
This is a simple way of making a callback.

I am trying to show data using api . but data is not showing in custom listView . list is empty

I am trying to show data in custom listView using API
there is no error but data is not shown in custom list .i made separate

code of my adapter class is
public class TrainerCourseAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private List list;
private Context context;
private static LayoutInflater inflater = null;
String [] cName;
String [] cDetail;
String [] created;
String [] cStatus;

code of activity is
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_course_outlines);
CourseOutlinesTask task = new CourseOutlinesTask();
task.execute("http://mantis.vu.edu.pk/bridging_the_gap/public/viewCourseOutlines");
mylist = task.viewResult();
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.course_listView);
listView.setAdapter(new TrainerCourseAdapter(CourseOutlinesActivity.this,mylist ) {
});

You need to assign your custom Adapter to listView.
yourListView.setAdapter(yourAdapter);
In your case, inside onPostExecute method of CourseOutlinesTask you should write it.
TrainerCourseAdapter adapter = new TrainerCourseAdapter(context,postList);
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.course_listView);
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
Hope this helps.

You need to write a interface and get response in your activity and set adapter to list view
like.
TrainerCourseAdapter adapter = new TrainerCourseAdapter(context,postList);
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.course_listView);
listview.setAdapter(adapter);

You can use callBack interface to get itemArraylist data to your activity class.
After getting itemlist data in activity class you can set adapter to listview.
TrainerCourseAdapter adapter = new TrainerCourseAdapter(context, postList);
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.course_listView);
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
// You can create interface in your CourseOutlinesClass with two method onSuccess() and onFailure() and in onPostExecute() send arraylist data using this interface to activity , then set adapter to fill data in listview.

Use the below code:-
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_course_outlines);
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.course_listView);
new CourseOutlinesTask().execute("http://mantis.vu.edu.pk/bridging_the_gap/public/viewCourseOutlines");
}
and in postExecute of your AsyncTask setAdapter to listView
TrainerCourseAdapter adapter = new TrainerCourseAdapter(context,postList);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

I'm only a beginner, so please forgive me for asking possibly a stupid question.

What line is giving the error? The problem is that you update a view created in the main thread, in your AsyncTask (a different thread). You should update this view in the onPostExecute of your AsyncTask (this is done in your main thread). I don't see immediately where you update the view.
EDIT:
Your problem should be solved if you put these two lines
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, fetchedNames);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
below this line:
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_view);
or in the:
protected void onPostExecute(Object s)

Test that:
ListView lv...
lv.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Update UI;
lv.setAdapter(...);
}
})

you can try use Handler with sendEmptyMessage() inside asynctask to pass by exception.
ex.
Handler mHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()) {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message inputMessage) {
// Adding items to listview
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, fetchedNames);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
}
});
note for code bellow:
//call mHandler.sendEmpyMessage() in asynctask:
if(Status.equals("0"))
{
JSONObject uniObject = mainObject.getJSONObject("data");
JSONArray a = uniObject.getJSONArray("data");
for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) {
JSONObject json_obj = a.getJSONObject(i);
String demo = json_obj.getString("realName");
fetchedNames[j]= demo;
j++;
}
// Adding items to listview
mHandler.sendEmpyMessage(0); //0 or any number is identify code from you want use to check with every action

Spinner data duplicated when list is clicked

In Activity B there has a spinner where the data were get from MySQL (Table location).

resultFrom = j.getJSONArray(Configs.JSON_ARRAY);
//Calling method getStudents to get the students from the JSON Array

//Creating a request queue

//Adding request to the queue

private void getFrom(JSONArray j) {
//Traversing through all the items in the json array
for (int i = 0; i < j.length(); i++) {

e.printStackTrace();
}
}
//Setting adapter to show the items in the spinner
travelFrom.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(Add_Details_Information.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, froms));
}
When save button is clicked, it will return the selected value(OFFICE) to Activity A listView. And in Activity A, when the list is pressed, it will intent to Activity B. In this time, the spinner in Activity B will display the selected item first(OFFICE).
**Table location** // table location has 2 data
NONE
OFFICE
Assume OFFICE is selected in B. When list is clicked, I want OFFICE display first in spinner B.
Code in Activity B for display OFFICE first.
if(getIntent().getExtras()!=null)
{
final String from = getIntent().getStringExtra("from");
selectedItemFrom(from);
}
public void selectedItemFrom(final String value)// display OFFICE first
{

}
}
travelFrom.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(Add_Details_Information.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, froms));
travelFrom.setSelection(position);
}
The OFFICE can display first, but the problem is when I checked the spinner B, it shows NONE,OFFICE,NONE OFFICE ..Why the spinner data will get duplicated ? Thanks
I think problem is in this line travelFrom.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(Add_Details_Information.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, froms));...But how to solve??? Anyone?
And sometimes the spinner will display the selected item first but sometimes it will not...What are the better way to write?
Edit
{"result":[{"name":"NONE"},{"name":"OFFICE"}]}
I put forms.clear in beginning of both getFrom method now. But the problem is when I select NONE and return to A, then goes to B again,the spinner now has NONE only...

Please try something like this.
This activity will expect a Intent with the key "from" that is set to either "NONE" or "OFFICE". If the intent does not have the data, then it will default to whatever was inserted into the Spinner first.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
