I am basically following a tutorial for learing Android Studio that uses AsyncTask class for doing background tasks like HttpURLConnection. But the thing is that it created a lot of error and later I found out that class was deprecated. So what is the alternative?
(Please provide an example code if you can)
CODE:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public class DownloadingTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>
{
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... urls)
{
String result="";
HttpURLConnection urlConnection=null;
URL url;
try{
url=new URL(urls[0]);
urlConnection=(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
InputStream in;
in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader reader=new InputStreamReader(in);
int data=reader.read();
while (data!=-1)
{
char current=(char) data;
result = result + current;
data=reader.read();
}
return result;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return "Failed";
}
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
DownloadingTask task= new DownloadingTask();
String s=null;
try {
s = task.execute("http://www.android.com/").get();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.i("Msg",s);
}
}
This is an example that shows how to download an image using AsynkTask.
private class DownLoadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
ImageView imageView;
DownLoadImageTask(ImageView imageView) {
this.imageView = imageView;
}
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
String urlOfImage = urls[0];
Bitmap logo = null;
try {
InputStream is = new URL(urlOfImage).openStream();
logo = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
} catch (Exception e) { // Catch the download exception
Log.v("download", e.getMessage());
}
return logo;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
imageView.setImageBitmap(result);
}
}
This is how to run it
new DownLoadImageTask(img).execute(imageUrl);
Any update is done in this method onPostExecute as it runs on the UI Thread.
Yes, You are right. AsynkTask is deprecated. You can use LoderManager and Java Executor
Or Volley, Retrofit libraries
For downloading images, You can use Picasso and Gilde Libraries.
I need to do an HTTP post with a cookie, and get the JSON response and put it in a TextView in Android Studio.
The code I have so far:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 9) {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
}
new GetDataSync().execute();
try {
postPHP("Hoi");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
public class GetDataSync extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
getData();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
}
}
private void postPHP (String cookie1) throws IOException, JSONException {
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
String cookieString = cookieManager.getCookie(cookie1);
URL url = new URL("http://piggybank.wordmediavormgever.nl/getSaldo.php");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("thatsallfolks", cookieString);
connection.connect();
OutputStream out = connection.getOutputStream();
out.write(data);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
private void getData() throws IOException, JSONException {
TextView txtUser = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.user);
JSONObject json = readJsonFromUrl("http://piggybank.wordmediavormgever.nl/getSaldo.php");
try {
String response = json.getString("saldo");
Log.e("saldo", response);
response = json.getString("saldo");
txtUser.setText(response);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
As you can see, the JSON to TextView and HTTP POST request are two seperate pieces of code, that's why I don't get the correct JSON value. I need to combine the two so it first sends the cookie via POST and then puts the JSON response in a TextView, but I don't know how
Change your code as follows:
public class GetDataSync extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
private final String cookie;
public GetDataSync(String cookie) {
this.cookie = cookie;
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... voids) {
try {
postPHP();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return getData();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String resposne) {
super.onPostExecute(s);
TextView txtUser = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.user);
txtUser.setText(resposne);
}
private void postPHP () throws IOException, JSONException {
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
String cookieString = cookieManager.getCookie(cookie);
URL url = new URL("http://piggybank.wordmediavormgever.nl/getSaldo.php");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("thatsallfolks", cookieString);
connection.connect();
OutputStream out = connection.getOutputStream();
out.write(data);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
private String getData() {
JSONObject json = readJsonFromUrl("http://piggybank.wordmediavormgever.nl/getSaldo.php");
try {
String response = json.getString("saldo");
Log.e("saldo", response);
response = json.getString("saldo");
return response;
} catch (Exception e) {
return "";
}
}
}
Execute the task in onCreate as follows:
new GetDataSync("Hoi").execute();
Just as a practicing exercise i'm trying to make an app that fetches a JSON from a URL.
I found the following code in other thread here in stackoverflow and it works just fine. My problem is that the URL is hardcoded, and i need it to be an input by the user. What should i change/add?
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btnHit;
TextView txtJson;
ProgressDialog pd;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btnHit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnHit);
txtJson = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvJsonItem);
btnHit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
new JsonTask().execute("Url address here");
}
});
}
private class JsonTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
pd.setMessage("Please wait");
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.show();
}
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+"\n");
Log.d("Response: ", "> " + line); //here u ll get whole response..... :-)
}
return buffer.toString();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
try {
if (reader != null) {
reader.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
if (pd.isShowing()){
pd.dismiss();
}
txtJson.setText(result);
}
}
}
This is the thread where i got that code from:
Get JSON Data from URL Using Android?
Create a constructor in your async Task
private class JSONTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
String url;
public JSONTask(String url){
this.url=url;
}
use the url string in place of params[0]
And wherever you call your async task do it like this
new JSONTask(textView.getText()).execute()
This should solve it.
Else you can directly use the do in background variable params.
So the problem is that you are using a TextView. TextView does not recieve inputs.
EditText does.
Make these Changes:
TextView txtJson;
In your OnCreate change this:
txtJson = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tvJsonItem);
btnHit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
new JsonTask().execute(txtJson.getText());
}
});
Now in your xml file change the Button to EditText.
Hope this helps.
If I have this background worker file in my android application and it gets data from my database how can I pass the string 'result' to another class?
The background worker connects to my server and then using php it connects to a database.
public class BackgroundWorker extends AsyncTask<String,Void,String> {
Context context;
AlertDialog alertDialog;
BackgroundWorker (Context ctx) {
context = ctx;
}
#Override
public String doInBackground(String... params) {
String type = params[0];
String specials_url = "";
if(type.equals("venue click")) {
try {
//String user_name = params[1];
URL url = new URL(specials_url);
HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
httpURLConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
httpURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
httpURLConnection.setDoInput(true);
OutputStream outputStream = httpURLConnection.getOutputStream();
BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream, "UTF-8"));
// String post_data = URLEncoder.encode("user_name","UTF-8")+"="+URLEncoder.encode(user_name,"UTF-8");
// bufferedWriter.write(post_data);
bufferedWriter.flush();
bufferedWriter.close();
outputStream.close();
InputStream inputStream = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream,"iso-8859-1"));
String result="";
String line="";
while((line = bufferedReader.readLine())!= null) {
result += line;
}
bufferedReader.close();
inputStream.close();
httpURLConnection.disconnect();
return result;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Info");
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
alertDialog.setMessage(result);
alertDialog.show();
// String temp = "login success";
// if (result.equals(temp)) {
// Intent intent = new Intent(context, Register.class);
// context.startActivity(intent);
// }
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
}
}
You need a listener. This will allow you to notify back when the AsyncTask is done.
Define the listener by creating an interface, like this:
public interface IListener
{
void onCompletedTask(String result);
}
On the task store a reference to the listener.
private IListener mListener;
// Pass the reference to the constructor.
public BackgroundWorker(IListener listener)
{
mListener = listener;
}
Then you notify the listener like this.
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result)
{
mListener.onCompletedTask(result);
}
Best way to get a callback from background thread is to use interfaces as a callback from AsyncTask for example:
create an interface that can be called in onPostExecute()
public interface ResponseCallback {
void onRespond(String result);
}
and before calling asynckTask define it like this:
ResponseCallback cpk = new ResponseCallback() {
#Override
public void onRespond(String result) {
//code to be done after calling it from onPostExecute
}
};
and pass cpk to the constructor of of the asynckTask and call it in onPostExecute like that:
if(cpk!=null){
cpk.onRespond(result);
}
of course you can modify the signature of the interface to what ever you want.

here before ImageDownload is start executing before test async task is complete
and i am not able to get the status of the task can u tell how it is done
whatever i understood from this you want to execute your ImageDownload thread after the task thread,so start the ImageDownload Thread from the onPostExecute() of your task thread
When executing an async task a new thread is started, but your current thread keeps running. It immediately runs into your thread.sleep(1000) just after starting test.async.
It looks like your doing some internet downloading in test.async, and as you might have guessed, it takes longer than 1000 milliseconds (1 second). This means 1 second later, your other async is starting, before the first completed.
I assume you want to stagger them. In the postExecute of the first async, you can spawn the second async. A more stylistically correct method would be to implement an interface on your activity that takes a callback on Async completion, then upon receiving the call back, launch your second async.
An example of how to structure this is below.
interface AsyncCallback{
void onAsyncComplete();
}
public class ExampleActivity extends Activity implements AsyncCallback {
....
public void launchFirstAsync(){
new Task(this).execute();
}
#Override
public void onAsyncComplete() {
//todo launch second asyncTask;
}
}
class Task extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{
AsyncCallback cb;
Task(AsyncCallback cb){
this.cb = cb;
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPreExecute();
cb.onAsyncComplete();
}
}

Over time there have been several changes to the way Android deals with AsyncTasks that run concurrently. In very old Android versions (pre-1.6 afaik) multiple AsyncTasks were executed in sequence. That behavior has been changed to run the AsyncTasks in parallel up until Android 2.3. Beginning with Android 3.0 the the Android team decided that people were not careful enough with synchronizing the tasks that run in parallel and switched the default behavior back to sequential execution. Internally the AsyncTask uses an ExecutionService that can be configured to run in sequence (default) or in parallel as required:
ImageLoader imageLoader = new ImageLoader( imageView );
imageLoader.executeOnExecutor( AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR, "http://url.com/image.png" );
