Android - My onPostExecute in AsyncTask is not getting called

So I have been trying to fetch JSON objects in my Django REST Framework API. The algorithm for this called within the onPostExecute of my AsyncTask but it seems that it is not being called as when I debug it doesn't go there. Nothing fatal seems to be appearing in my logcat except that there is nothing in my array that should contain data from the DRF API.
I have two activities that calls my AsyncTask from my WSAdapter class. One is for logging in and the other is for listing all posts once logged in.
The logging in works just fine but listing the posts doesn't.
My code is below:
Posts.java
public class Posts extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView postsSect;
Button postsDoneBtn;
WSAdapter.SendAPIRequests PostsHelper;
StringBuilder postsBuffer = new StringBuilder();
#Override
protected void onResume(){
super.onResume();
PostsDetails postDetailsHelper = new PostsDetails();
postDetailsHelper.ListPosts();
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_posts);
PostsDetails postDetailsHelper = new PostsDetails();
postsDoneBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.PostsDoneButton);
postDetailsHelper.callPostDetails("192.168.0.18:8000/api");
postDetailsHelper.ListPosts();
postDetailsHelper.postDetailsCalled('n');
postsDoneBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(Posts.this, MainActivity.class));
}
});
}
public class PostsDetails {
//String post_title, post_content;
ArrayList<Integer> post_id = new ArrayList<Integer>();
ArrayList<String> post_title = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayList<String> post_content = new ArrayList<String>();
boolean isPDCalled;
// sets if Post details are called
boolean postDetailsCalled(char called) {
if (called == 'y'){
return true;
}
return false;
}
// checks if postsDetails functions are called for AsyncTask
boolean getIsPDCalled(){
return isPDCalled;
}
// calls the execute for AsyncTask
private void callPostDetails(String theurl){
PostsHelper = new WSAdapter.SendAPIRequests();
// sets if post details are called
postDetailsCalled('y');
// executes AsyncTask
PostsHelper.execute(theurl);
}
// sets values for the posts arrays
public void setPost(int p_id, String p_title, String p_content) {
post_id.add(p_id);
post_title.add(p_title);
post_content.add(p_content);
}
// Lists the posts from the database
public void ListPosts() {
/////////// add functionality if a post was deleted and was clicked
postsSect = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.PostsSection);
postsSect.setText(post_title.get(post_title.size()) + "\n");
for (int i = post_id.size() - 1; i > 0; i--)
{
postsSect.append(post_title.get(i));
}
}
}
}
WSAdapter.java
public class WSAdapter extends AppCompatActivity {

// Tells the URL that I am sending a POST request body
httpURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
// To write primitive Java data types to an output stream in a portable way
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(httpURLConnection.getOutputStream());
// Writes out a byte to the underlying output stream of the data posted from .execute function
wr.writeBytes("postData=" + params[1]);
// Flushes the postData to the output stream
wr.flush();

}
} catch (JSONException e) {

Login.java
public class Login extends AppCompatActivity {
Button LoginButton;
EditText uUserName, uPassWord;
WSAdapter.SendAPIRequests AuthHelper;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
//SetupHomeBtn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.SetupHomeBtn);
LoginButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.LoginButton);
uUserName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.LoginUserBox);
uPassWord = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.LoginPassBox);
//AuthHelper = new WSAdapter().new SendDeviceDetails();
// Moves user to the main page after validation
LoginButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// gets the username and password from the EditText
String strUserName = uUserName.getText().toString();
String strPassWord = uPassWord.getText().toString();
// API url duh
String APIUrl = "http://192.168.0.18:8000/token-auth/";
// If the user is authenticated, then transfer to the MainActivity page
if (APIAuthentication(strUserName, strPassWord, APIUrl)){
startActivity(new Intent(Login.this, Posts.class));
}
}
});
}
private boolean APIAuthentication(String un, String pw, String url){
// when it wasn't static -> AuthHelper = new WSAdapter().new SendAPIRequests();
AuthHelper = new WSAdapter.SendAPIRequests();
JSONObject postData = new JSONObject();
try {
// Attempt to input info to the Django API
postData.put("username", un);
postData.put("password", pw);
// Putting the data to be posted in the Django API
AuthHelper.execute(url, postData.toString());
return true;
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
}
I was expecting my onPostExecute to be called and store data for my posts arrays.

Okay this is a nice example of async tasks. The problem here is when you call an async task then the code below will continue to execute even when the async task hasn't finished. So what happens in your case:
You fetch the posts and then ask to display them on the exact moment that the async function is still getting the posts. So of course the List is empty.
You can fix this by using the await keyword. This keyword stops the rest of your code from executing until that line has been executed. So change:
postDetailsHelper.callPostDetails("192.168.0.18:8000/api");
to:
await postDetailsHelper.callPostDetails("192.168.0.18:8000/api");
Now the reason that the login does work is because you call that function within the if statement. If you would store the return value of that function in a boolean first then it wouldn't work either.

Android Translation application using yandex api showing result in emulator text view but not in real device

I am trying to make a translation application from English to Bangla using Yandex API.
It works fine in the emulator but in the real device it shows result for only one word in the text view but when writing a sentence it shows null / nothing.
I think the problem is buffer overflow but don't know how to fix it for the real device. Here are some reference pictures. In the emulator the result works fine:
In the real device it shows empty in text view:
But it works fine when a single word is used in real device.
Here is the code for my Asynctask:
public class
TranslatorBackgroundTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
//Declare Context
Context ctx;
//Set Context
TranslatorBackgroundTask(Context ctx){
this.ctx = ctx;
}
String resultString;
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
//String variables
String textToBeTranslated = params[0];
String languagePair = params[1];
String jsonString;
try {
//Set up the translation call URL
String yandexKey = "trnsl.1.1.20170823T130435Z.79a583874abfc8ff.61e23593359fdc92452e69a3d5ec05347fc4180b";
String yandexUrl = "https://translate.yandex.net/api/v1.5/tr.json/translate?key=" + yandexKey
+ "&text=" + textToBeTranslated + "&lang=" + languagePair;
URL yandexTranslateURL = new URL(yandexUrl);
//Set Http Conncection, Input Stream, and Buffered Reader
HttpURLConnection httpJsonConnection = (HttpURLConnection) yandexTranslateURL.openConnection();
InputStream inputStream = httpJsonConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
//Set string builder and insert retrieved JSON result into it
StringBuilder jsonStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
while ((jsonString = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
jsonStringBuilder.append(jsonString + "\n");
}
//Close and disconnect
try {
bufferedReader.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
inputStream.close();
httpJsonConnection.disconnect();
//Making result human readable
resultString = jsonStringBuilder.toString().trim();
//Getting the characters between [ and ]
resultString = resultString.substring(resultString.indexOf('[')+1);
resultString = resultString.substring(0,resultString.indexOf("]"));
//Getting the characters between " and "
resultString = resultString.substring(resultString.indexOf("\"")+1);
resultString = resultString.substring(0,resultString.indexOf("\""));
Log.d("Translation Result:", resultString);
return jsonStringBuilder.toString().trim();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
//String text = String.valueOf(resultString);
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
MainActivity.tvTranslatedText.setText(resultString);
Toast.makeText(ctx, resultString, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
}
}
And the code for the main activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
Context context=this;
private static final int REQUEST_CODE = 1234;
static TextView tvTranslatedText;
EditText etUserText;
Button buTranslate;
Button buSpeak;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout_activity_main);
tvTranslatedText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvTranslatedText);
etUserText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etUserText);
buTranslate = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buTranslate);
buSpeak = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buSpeak);
}
public void buTranslate(View view) {
//Default variables for translation
String textToBeTranslated = "";
textToBeTranslated= etUserText.getText().toString();
String languagePair = "en-bn"; //English to bengali ("<source_language>-<target_language>")
//Executing the translation function
Translate(textToBeTranslated,languagePair);
}
//Function for calling executing the Translator Background Task
void Translate(String textToBeTranslated, String languagePair){
TranslatorBackgroundTask translatorBackgroundTask= new TranslatorBackgroundTask(context);
String translationResult = "";
translationResult = String.valueOf(translatorBackgroundTask.execute(textToBeTranslated,languagePair)); // Returns the translated text as a String
Log.d("Translation Result",translationResult); // Logs the result in Android Monitor
}
//Speak button activities
public void buSpeak(View view) {
startVoiceRecognitionActivity();
}
private void startVoiceRecognitionActivity()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, "Speak to translate");
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
}
/**
* Handle the results from the voice recognition activity.
*/
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (data != null) {
//pull all of the matches
ArrayList<String> matches = data.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
String topResult = matches.get(0);
EditText AutoText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etUserText);
AutoText.setText(topResult);
}
}
}
}
The error message:
Caused by: com.google.android.apps.gsa.shared.exception.GsaIOException: Error code: 393238 | Buffer overflow, no available space.

Why didn't you add a listener to your sample code?
Try adding these on onCreate in MainActivity:
buTranslate.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
buTranslate(view);
}
}
);
Update:
There was another issue. Emulators on android sdk 16 don't show Unicode properly. Thats why you don't see your results, as those are Unicodes. Try Log to print your resultString.

Unable to access string from class

I want to show string from another string in my MainActivity, but the string is getting printed in console. Here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button start;
public TextView showText;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
showText= (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
start = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
RetrieveFeedTask click1 = new RetrieveFeedTask();
click1.execute();
showText.setText(click1.getString());
}
});
}
}
And the class:
class RetrieveFeedTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
static final String API_URL = "http://numbersapi.com/random/trivia?json";
private Exception exception;
public String finalString;
protected void onPreExecute() { }
protected String doInBackground(Void... urls) {
try {
URL url = new URL(API_URL );
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
try {
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
while ((finalString = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(finalString).append("\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
return stringBuilder.toString();
}
finally{
urlConnection.disconnect();
}
}
catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("ERROR", e.getMessage(), e);
return null;
}
}
protected void onPostExecute(String response) {
if(response == null) {
response = "THERE WAS AN ERROR";
}
try {
JSONObject object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(response).nextValue();
finalString = object.getString("text");
Log.i("Here",finalString);
} catch (JSONException e) {
}
}
public String getString() {
return this.finalString;
}
}

You require the finalString before it's populated with your data. the onPostExecute is executed after the doInBackground so you should pass your text view to your task and set it's value in the onPostExecute
public TextView showText;
public RetrieveFeedTask(TextView showText) { this.showText = showText; }
protected void onPostExecute(String response) {
if(response == null) {
response = "THERE WAS AN ERROR";
}
try {
JSONObject object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(response).nextValue();
finalString = object.getString("text");
showText.setText(finalString ); // add this
Log.i("Here",finalString);
} catch (JSONException e) {
}
}

The problem is that showText.setText(click1.getString()); of your activity is called earlier than finalString = object.getString("text"); of your task.
Solution:
Create an interface:
public interface DataCallback {
void onNewData(String data);
}
and implement it in your activity:
public class MainActivity extends ... implements DataCallback
public void onNewData(String data) {
showText.setText(data);
}
Pass the interface to your asynctask when you create it:
RetrieveFeedTask click1 = new RetrieveFeedTask(this);
Call the interface inside the task in onPostExecute() to notify the activity that there is new data:
JSONObject object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(response).nextValue();
finalString = object.getString("text");
callback.onNewData(finalString);

How to execute onMapReady() callback after all the AsyncTasks are completed?

I am having trouble with my code where i have my Activity which i use to call google api's and retrieve jsons, deserialize them and use it's Polylines to draw on the map.
The problem is that getMapAsync() which sends the callback for onMapReady() (which is used to create the map) is executed immediately after executing my Async Tasks which retrieves necessary data to create the map.
How can i make this happen without stopping the UI thread? I tried doing this calling .execute.get() which freeze the UI thread. But if i do that, i won't be able to use ProgressDialog to inform the users about the delay for fetching data from the servers, which they will be exposed to a frozen UI until the task is complete. How can i do this?

Quick and somewhat dirty solution would be to execute both AsyncTasks on a single AsyncTask and then on its onPostExecute code invoke getMapAsync. this way you will be sure your tasks finished before you dealing with map's readyness.

Firstly, run tasks after onMapReady because you will get rid of
concern of ready map.
Your async tasks are not parallel, they working on background but second one will be executed after first one completed, check this link
Move some parts of onMapReady to onPostExecute, something like below
Move
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String types) {
if (types.equalsIgnoreCase("distance")) {
disRes = GMapsDistanceResponseJSONDeserializer.deserialize(jsonString);
}if (types.equalsIgnoreCase("directions")) {
dirRes = GMapsDirectionsResponseJSONDeserializer.deserialize(jsonString);
String points = dirRes.getRoutes().get(0).getOverviewPolyline();
List<LatLng> list = PolyUtil.decode(points);
googleMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
.geodesic(false)
.addAll(list)
.color(Color.RED)
.width(25)
);
}
}

AsyncTask.SERIAL_EXECUTOR is used to force AsyncTask to execute in Serial Fashion.
More over for your case a little trick will do the job.
Create call back for same AsyncTask and pass different parameters to differentiate the functions.
Now in the second call back initiate mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
public class MainFragment ...
{
DataDownloader dataDownloader;
int processCount=1;
void initiateProcessFirst(){
new DataDownloader(this,processCount ).execute();
}
public void initiateSecondProcess(){
processCount++;
new DataDownloader(this,processCount ).execute();
}
public void secondProcessCompleted(){
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
}
AsyncTask Logic goes like the below
public class DataDownloader extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Boolean> {
MainFragment context;
int processCount;
public DataDownloader(MainFragment context ,int processCount){
this.context=context;
this.processCount=processCount;
}
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) {
boolean status=false;
// Do logic according to the Process Count
return status;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean aBoolean) {
super.onPostExecute(aBoolean);
if(processCount==1)
context.initiateSecondProcess();
else
context.secondProcessCompleted();
}
}

Android listview not getting populated with data

I am new to Android Studio and have a simple android view i am working on. A button click makes a call to the foursquare API and get backresults for starbucks around my location that I parse and am trying to set to the adapter for the listbox on the same view. If i put a breakpoint in the OnPostExecute() I see the mFoursquare adapter that I set for the listview has two json string results in the mFoursquareAdapter , I even call the
mFoursquareAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
in it but the view does not get refreshed with the results. I have posted the code below. Can anyone please point out what I am doing wrong or need to change since I already have the results and need to get this done...Your help and feedback very much appreciated! thanks

This
mFoursquareAdapter.add(ItemStr);
Should be
foursquareList.add(ItemStr)
And you'll need to declare foursquareList properly (as a field).
You should also declare your Adapter as a field variable as well, just in case you need to reference it later
