RecyclerView not refreshing after a web service manual synced

I'm having an issue with RecyclerView not refreshing after I do a manual sync of a web service.
The manual sync is triggered by either swiping-down on the list or by tapping on an ActionBar item.
The manual sync uses a Volley Request to retrieve data in a JSON format, the data is parsed and saved to an SQLite database table. The sync datetime is also saved to an SQLite database table and later displayed in the Fragment's ActionBar Subtitle. The Volley Request is kicked of via a WorkManager OneTimeWorkRequest.
The problem being the RecyclerView list is not refreshed. However if I then trigger another manual sync, the sync datatime in the ActionBar Subtitle and RecyclerView contents are updated but with data from the previous manual sync. This becomes clear if I navigate away from the app to the device's Home screen and then navigate back to my app, which now shows the refreshed data from the most recent manual sync.
I have looked at numerous posts around this issue (see below) and whilst I think I have improved my code none of the recommended solutions have resolved the issue.
Recyclerview not call onCreateViewHolder
RecyclerView not calling onCreateViewHolder or onBindView
Recyclerview not call onCreateViewHolder
RecyclerView is not refreshing
get JSON data from web and display using RecyclerView
Recycler View appear blank and doesn't show SQLite data
RecyclerView onClick not working properly?
Why doesn't RecyclerView have onItemClickListener()?
ListView not updating after web service Sync

So after a number of months trying to fix this issue I am now turning to the StackOverflow community for help.

Use this in your Adapter
public void setWarnings(List<Warning> warnings) {
mWarnings.clear();
mWarnings = warnings;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}

I think you to updateUI(); method call after successfully api call because when api call it's working in background.
or
you can set
sleep(5000)
updateUI();

hide button if text length is < 1 in android studio

I'm new to Android and Java and I'm busy editing an existing app. I am trying to hide a button if no text is getting pulled in from a webservice. I have made it work with another button when the text is being populated
if (textEvent.length() > 1) {
buttonEventSetup.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
but when I used:
if (textEvent.length() < 1) {
buttonAccessControl.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
nothing seems to happen.
I don't know if the code snippet is in the wrong place or something else is overwriting the code. Here is my activity code:
package com.example.dsouchon.myapplication;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override

{

if(loggedInUser.length()>0)
{
buttonEventSetup.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
else
{
buttonEventSetup.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
else

}
if(Local.isSet(getApplicationContext(), "EventName"))
{

TextView textEvent = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textEventName);
textEvent.setText( event);
Button buttonAccessControl = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonAccessControl);
buttonAccessControl.setEnabled(true);
//HIDES SET EVENT BUTTON WHEN EVENT IS SET
if (textEvent.length() > 1) {
buttonEventSetup.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
if (textEvent.length() < 1) {
buttonAccessControl.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
}
else
{
Button buttonAccessControl = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonAccessControl);
buttonAccessControl.setEnabled(false);
}
if(Local.isSet(getApplicationContext(), "EventImage"))

You are getting the length of Textview that will not work.Use the text length.This should work
String event = Local.Get(getApplicationContext(), "EventName");
//HIDES SET EVENT BUTTON WHEN EVENT IS SET
if (event.length() > 1) {
buttonEventSetup.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
if (event.length() < 1) {
buttonAccessControl.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}

In your code above textEvent is not a string value. It is an Object of type TextView. length() in this case will not return the length of the text contained within that element. You will need to explicitly get the text string before you can get the length of it. This is acquired using the getText() method on the TextView.
Your code should look like the following:
//HIDES SET EVENT BUTTON WHEN EVENT IS SET
if (textEvent.getText().length() >= 1) {
buttonEventSetup.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
if (textEvent.getText().length() < 1) {
buttonAccessControl.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
You also have INVISIBLE on both cases in your posted code example.
Note that your code also does not handle cases where the text length == 1. You could simplify the whole block with the following.
Note: any value != 0 is classed as true
buttonEventSetup.setVisibility(textEvent.getText().length() ? View.VISIBLE : View.INVISIBLE);

Storing a spinner item in a string value

I have created an app that is connected to a remote database. The items in the database are displayed through a spinner in my MainActivity class. I want to display the selected item in a separate class(Map.java) and XML page(map.xml), So I used this code in Map.java to try get the selected item and display it:
Spinner mySpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinFood);
String text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
EditText e = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.editText1);
e.setText(text);
To display this value I created an EditText in my map.xml file:
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text"
android:text="#string/text"
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textView"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/textView"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/imageView" />
The android:input_type="text" is a string value I created:
<string name="text"> %s </string>
But whenever I open the map page my app crashes. Could someone please tell me where I am going wrong?
Here all of my code for MainActivity and Map.java

I'm guessing that you're getting a NullPointerException in your Map.class
Spinner mySpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinFood);
String text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
EditText e = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.editText1);
e.setText(text);
You get a reference to Spinner, then you try to get the selected item and then convert that item to a string. As far as I can tell you haven't actually added any items to the spinner. My guess is that you are trying to access an object in the spinner and since it doesn't exist it returns null. Then you try to call a method on the null object and get an NPE.
This is just a guess. A stacktrace is very helpful in trying to diagnose this.
Where I think you're going wrong is that you populate the spinner in MainActivity and then expect to be able to select an item from that spinner from a different activity. This isn't how it works. Map.class won't be able to reference anything in MainActivity.class. You could try passing the object from MainActivity.class to Map.class or use a different method of passing data, but trying to reference data in MainAcitivity.class from Map.class won't work.
Edit:
If you just want to pass a String from MainActivity.class to Map.class you can add the string as an 'extra' to the intent that you use to start Map.class.
In your MainActivity.class code. When the item from the spinner is selected, create an intent and set the string as an extra using the putExtra() method. You will need to supply a key that basically tags the extra so you can identify it in the receiving activity and the string you want to send.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Map.class);
intent.putExtra("KEY_SPINNER_STRING", variableRepresentingString);
startActivity(intent);
In the Map.class activity, in the onCreate() method you will need to receive the intent, check for the extra, then unpack the extra. Then you will have the String.
onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
String spinnerString;
if (getIntent() != null && getIntent().getExtras() != null) {
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle.getString("KEY_SPINNER_STRING") != null) {
spinnerString = bundle.getString("KEY_SPINNER_STRING");
}
}
}
If everything is done correctly the String will be passed from MainActivity.class and received by Map.class

List view and Async Task not Communicating to delete item?

I've got a simple class. It loads data from my localhost and populates in a listview with android:id/list.
I've set a onclick listener to call my delete async task when I click an item.
My profileList.remove(position), works I can't seem to get the notifyDataSetChanged(); method to work and don't know where to place it?
Lastly, Im not sure but I don't think my class is referencing the position of the item I want to delete and matching it with my database? I keep getting "success=0 no profile" found in my LOG.
Any Ideas? I just want my count/listview to be refreshed and my item deleted.

Failed to Exit or finish my app android (Activity) correctly

The following app upload video to Dropbox when it is start, I added finish() in the end of onCreate to exit the app when its completed the uploading, but I got "Unfortunately, DBRoulette has stopped.".
In the Eclipse LogCat:
Activity com.dropbox.android.sample.DBRoulette has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView#42a7ee38 that was originally added here

I have Progress viewer which may cause the problem but I don't know how to solve it!

Your problem is that you are trying to update an Activity's UI after the activity has finished.
First, you kick of an AsyncTask which posts progress updates to the UI thread. Then, before the task completes, you call finish(). Any updates to the Activity's UI after finish() is called are liable to throw exceptions, cause window leak issues, etc.
If you want to have any UI behavior as you perform your AsyncTask, you do not want to finish() the Activity until it the task is completed.
To achieve this, you could include a callback in the onPostExecute which tells the activity it is OK to finish once the AsyncTask completes.
This is how I would do it:
Change the signature of UploadPicture:
final Activity callingActivity;
public UploadPicture(final Activity callingActivity, DropboxAPI api, String dropboxPath, File file) {
Context mContext = callingActivity.getApplicationContext();
this.callingActivity = callingActivity;
Add the finish call to onPostExecute:
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
mDialog.dismiss();
if (result) {
showToast("Image successfully uploaded");
} else {
showToast(mErrorMsg);
}
callingActivity.finish(); //Finish activity only once you are done
}
