What is the easiest way to update a textView from a service?

I am making an app which consists of an activity and a service. By pressing a button the service is started, it collects data in the background from a sensor and classifies it and outputs a string. I want to display the string in a textView. Right now I can see in the log that the variable is updated 2 times every second, but when I try and update the textView from the service class nothing is happening unless I press the button, whenever I press the button, the string is displayed in the textView.
What is the easiest solution here? I tried to make the textView static and it still can't update it. Can you make it so that the view is updated automatically every second? Can I add a listener somehow? Since I am not very experienced I would like an easy solution that does not have to be a "good" one.
Here is my code
Activity:
public class CollectorActivity extends Activity {
private enum State {
IDLE, COLLECTING, TRAINING, CLASSIFYING
};
private final String[] mLabels = { Globals.CLASS_LABEL_STANDING,
Globals.CLASS_LABEL_WALKING, Globals.CLASS_LABEL_RUNNING,
Globals.CLASS_LABEL_OTHER };
private RadioGroup radioGroup;
private final RadioButton[] radioBtns = new RadioButton[4];
private Intent mServiceIntent;
private File mFeatureFile;
public static TextView mCurrentLabel;
private State mState;
private Button btnDelete;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
radioGroup = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.radioGroupLabels);
radioBtns[0] = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radioStanding);
radioBtns[1] = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radioWalking);
radioBtns[2] = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radioRunning);
radioBtns[3] = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radioOther);
btnDelete = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnDeleteData);
mCurrentLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
mState = State.IDLE;
mFeatureFile = new File(getExternalFilesDir(null),
Globals.FEATURE_FILE_NAME);
mServiceIntent = new Intent(this, SensorsService.class);
}
public void onCollectClicked(View view) {
if (mState == State.IDLE) {
mState = State.COLLECTING;
((Button) view).setText(R.string.ui_collector_button_stop_title);
btnDelete.setEnabled(false);
radioBtns[0].setEnabled(false);
radioBtns[1].setEnabled(false);
radioBtns[2].setEnabled(false);
radioBtns[3].setEnabled(false);
int acvitivtyId = radioGroup.indexOfChild(findViewById(radioGroup
.getCheckedRadioButtonId()));
String label = mLabels[acvitivtyId];
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString(Globals.CLASS_LABEL_KEY, label);
mServiceIntent.putExtras(extras);
startService(mServiceIntent);
} else if (mState == State.COLLECTING) {
mState = State.IDLE;
((Button) view).setText(R.string.ui_collector_button_start_title);
btnDelete.setEnabled(true);
radioBtns[0].setEnabled(true);
radioBtns[1].setEnabled(true);
radioBtns[2].setEnabled(true);
radioBtns[3].setEnabled(true);
stopService(mServiceIntent);
((NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE)).cancelAll();
}
}
public void onDeleteDataClicked(View view) {
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(Environment
.getExternalStorageState())) {
if (mFeatureFile.exists()) {
mFeatureFile.delete();
}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
R.string.ui_collector_toast_file_deleted,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (mState == State.TRAINING) {
return;
} else if (mState == State.COLLECTING || mState == State.CLASSIFYING) {
stopService(mServiceIntent);
((NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE))
.cancel(Globals.NOTIFICATION_ID);
}
super.onBackPressed();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
// Stop the service and the notification.
// Need to check whether the mSensorService is null or not.
if (mState == State.TRAINING) {
return;
} else if (mState == State.COLLECTING || mState == State.CLASSIFYING) {
stopService(mServiceIntent);
((NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE))
.cancelAll();
}
finish();
super.onDestroy();
}
And this is the "doInBackground" method in my service class. The line "CollectorActivity.mCurrentLabel.setText(classification);" is the problem. I want this to update the textView continously.
public class OnSensorChangedTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
Instance inst = new DenseInstance(mFeatLen);
inst.setDataset(mDataset);
Instance inst2 = new DenseInstance(65);
int blockSize = 0;
FFT fft = new FFT(Globals.ACCELEROMETER_BLOCK_CAPACITY);
double[] accBlock = new double[Globals.ACCELEROMETER_BLOCK_CAPACITY];
double[] re = accBlock;
double[] im = new double[Globals.ACCELEROMETER_BLOCK_CAPACITY];
double max = Double.MIN_VALUE;
while (true) {
try {
// need to check if the AsyncTask is cancelled or not in the while loop
if (isCancelled () == true)
{
return null;
}
// Dumping buffer
accBlock[blockSize++] = mAccBuffer.take().doubleValue();
if (blockSize == Globals.ACCELEROMETER_BLOCK_CAPACITY) {
blockSize = 0;
testList = new ArrayList<Double>();
// time = System.currentTimeMillis();
max = .0;
for (double val : accBlock) {
if (max < val) {
max = val;
}
}
fft.fft(re, im);
for (int i = 0; i < re.length; i++) {
double mag = Math.sqrt(re[i] * re[i] + im[i]
* im[i]);
inst.setValue(i, mag);
testList.add(i,mag);
im[i] = .0; // Clear the field
}
// Append max after frequency component
inst.setValue(Globals.ACCELEROMETER_BLOCK_CAPACITY, max);
inst2.setValue(Globals.ACCELEROMETER_BLOCK_CAPACITY, max);
testList.add(max);
classificationIndex = WekaClassifier.classify(testList.toArray());
classification = testLabel.get((int) classificationIndex);
CollectorActivity.mCurrentLabel.setText(classification);
inst.setValue(mClassAttribute, mLabel);
mDataset.add(inst);
Log.i("new instance", mDataset.size() + "");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

In doInBackground(Void... arg0) change CollectorActivity.mCurrentLabel.setText(classification); to publishProgress(classification); then change second argument from Void to String: public class OnSensorChangedTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Srting, Void> and add onProgressUpdate().
Finally your code should looks like:
public class OnSensorChangedTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Srting, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
//...
publishProgress(classification);
//...
}
#Override
protected Void onProgressUpdate(String... classification) {
CollectorActivity.mCurrentLabel.setText(classification[0]);
}

Two-Dimensional Array with JSON data - Data is downloaded, but I can't access it (?)

So, I am creating a little trivia game for learning purposes, but I ran into a problem.
First, I had a specific Android Fragment obtaining the data from JSON, and I will simply use that data on the callback method and display it on TextViews and Buttons. Everything was working fine, however, every time I returned to that fragment, the same questions would be there. So I decided to handle that in a better way outside of the callback method.
The problem here is that apparently my Arrays are either null or their lengths is zero. Which is weird, because according to my LOG, data is being passed to those arrays on the callback method.
Here's my full fragment code. Thanks!
public class GameFragment extends Fragment {
private TextView txtQuestion;
private Button btnAnswer1;
private Button btnAnswer2;
private Button btnAnswer3;

gameCategories[3] = new Questions[myApiData.getCategory()[3].getQuestions(3).length];
//gameCategories = new Questions[][] {gameQuestions, animeQuestions, techQuestions, movieQuestions};
for(int i = 0; i < 4 ; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < gameCategories[i].length ; j++){
gameCategories[i][j] = myApiData.getCategory()[i].getQuestions(i)[j];

btnAnswer4.setText(gameCategories[category][randomQuestion].getAnswers().getA4());
}
}
}
}
PS: On my main activity, I check to see which fragment should be loaded. If it's the fragment that contains the components to display the questions and answer (the one from the code above), I call the following method: gameFragment.launchRingDialog(); (and yes, I have created an instance of my GameFragment fragment before calling that method!)

When onResume() is called, your RestClient.get().getQuestions(cb) is still running in background, and your call displayQuestion(), so of course nothing is shown.
Can you put displayQuestion() inside success() of your callback?
Callback cb = new Callback<MyApiData>(){
#Override
public void success(MyApiData myApiData, Response response) {
....
for(int i = 0; i < 4 ; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < gameCategories[i].length ; j++){
...
}
}
displayQuestion();
}
....
};
I would also suggest you to remove displayQuestion() in onResume() method.

FragmentPagerAdapter dynamic tabs and page count

My application pulls data from a web service that generates different sections for each user. Then I am going to use these sections to create tabs using FragmentPagerAdapter.
I have used an Async task to pull data from the web service. However the overridden methods such as getCount() and getPageTitle() in the FragmentPagerAdapter executed prior to my asynctask and completes its job. How can I prevent this and generate dynamic number of tabs and their title name based on the data fetched from the web service?
In other words how can I create dynamic number of tabs and titles based on the data fetch from the web service
My Code for FragmentPagerAdapter as below. As you can see I have hard coded the amount of tabs as well as their title names.
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{
private boolean proceedStatus = false;
private String requestURL = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
//list of fragments need to be added dynamically
public final ArrayList<Fragment> screens = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
// getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
// Return a DummySectionFragment (defined as a static inner class
// below) with the page number as its lone argument.
Fragment fragment = new SectionFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(SectionFragment.ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, position + 1);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return 2;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
Locale l = Locale.getDefault();
switch (position) {
case 0:
return "Camera".toUpperCase(l);
case 1:
return getString(R.string.title_section2).toUpperCase(l);
case 2:
return getString(R.string.title_section3).toUpperCase(l);
case 3:
return "SECTION 4";
}
return null;
}
//setting the section title
private void setSectionTitle(){
}
//count the number of sections
private int countNumberofSections(){
int numberOfSection = 0;
return numberOfSection;
}
}
Then I have my Fragment code as below which has the the caller to the Async Task
public static class SectionFragment extends Fragment implements OnTaskCompleted {
/**

When you finnish pulling the async data, provide the adapter with the new data and call .notifyDataSetChanged() on that adapter instance and the framework will update the pages and count by itself.
If you wish a more detailed explanation post your FragmentPagerAdapter implementation.

First of all, let me apologize if I'm not making myself clear enough because this is one of my first participation(s) here. But I'll be always here to answer queries related to this answer and clear any confusions arose by my statements.
Since you're using fragments, so I'm assuming you must have included your fragments inside an activity (lets say MainActivity.java).
What you need, can be done inside that activity containing fragment.
Here is the example code of onCreate method inside the MainActivity
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
//Instance of viewpager included inside activity_main.xml
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.vpMain);
SectionsPagerAdapter adapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter (fragmentManager);
//Adding some fragments right from the beginning, you could ignore it if not needed.
addFragments();
//This `OnPageChangeListener` will do the trick for you.
viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
}
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
//Show the title of fragment
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, adapter.screens.get(position), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//If fragment being loaded is later than the first one,
// then add one more fragment after the last fragment to the adapter.
// integer currentPosition is declared as a field, outside onCreate method and initially set to 0.
if(position>currentPosition){
currentPosition+=1;
adapter.addFragment(new SectionFragment(), "Fragment"+String.valueOf(position+3));
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}else{
currentPosition--;
}
}
#Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
}
});
} // onCreate ends here.
Create this method inside your MainActivity (just to add 3 fragments to give your application a head-start.
private void addFragments(){
adapter.addFragment(new SectionFragment());
adapter.addFragment(new SectionFragment());
adapter.addFragment(new SectionFragment());
}
Then modify your SectionsPagerAdapter's getItem and getCount methods as below:
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{
private boolean proceedStatus = false;
private String requestURL = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
//list of fragments need to be added dynamically
public final ArrayList<Fragment> screens = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return screens.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return screens.size();
}
//This method will dynamically add a fragment each time it is called.
public void addFragment(Fragment fragment) {
screens.add(fragment);
}
Now, no work related to "adding new fragment to the list" needs to be done inside your SectionFragment class.

parse in android getInBackground function is not running

Can anyone help me out that why is the function getInBackground is not running i want to fetch the data from parse in android.
This is my class which calls the function of fetchData(String themeId) in parseManipulate class
public class selectTheme extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
Button gBtn;
Button rBtn;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.themeselection);
String themeid = "ECGo4oSKgU";
ParseManipulate pm = new ParseManipulate();
pm.fetchData(themeid);
/* gBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.greentheme);
rBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.redtheme);
gBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
rBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
*/
}
And this is my fetchData() function in ParseManipulate class.compiler does not run the function getInBackground() function and jumps at the end of function closing bracket
public class ParseManipulate {
public void fetchData(String ThemeId)
{
ParseQuery<ParseObject> pq = ParseQuery.getQuery("testThemes");
pq.getInBackground(ThemeId, new GetCallback<ParseObject>(){
#Override
public void done(ParseObject object, ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(e == null)
{
// value = object.getString("ThemeName");
Log.d("ParseObject", ""+object.getString("ThemeName"));
}
else
{
// Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "error in data fetching", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
}
}

Instead of
Log.d("ParseObject", ""+object.getString("ThemeName"));
Use it like this
Log.d("ParseObject", ""+object.fetchIfNeeded().getString("ThemeName"));

Adapter not display content

I am trying to populate data from my main activity using the adapter below. When i run the activity the screen remains blanked. I believe it has to do with the ArrayList which is null perhaps. Can someone tell me why my data is not being displayed. am on this bug for three days now :/
public class CopyOfSecondWheelAdapter extends AbstractWheelTextAdapter {
ArrayList<convertor_pst> PostList = new ArrayList<convertor_pst>();
public ImageLoader imageLoader;
Convertor main;
public CopyOfSecondWheelAdapter(Context context) {
super(context, R.layout.count_layout, NO_RESOURCE);
setItemTextResource(R.id.country_name);
}
#Override
public View getItem(int index, View cachedView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getItem(index, cachedView, parent);
ImageView img = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.flag);
imageLoader.DisplayImage(PostList.get(index).getDevise(), img);
System.out.println("get item count:"+getItemsCount() );
TextView text = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.lib);
text.setText(PostList.get(index).getQuotite());
return view;
}
#Override
public int getItemsCount() {
return PostList.toArray().length;
}
#Override
protected CharSequence getItemText(int index) {
return PostList.get(index).getDevise().toString();
}
}
UPDATE:
In my Main class i have already an
ArrayList<convertor_pst> PostList = new ArrayList<convertor_pst>();
which is populated.
Here is my main class that is my convertor.class
ArrayList<convertor_pst> PostList = new ArrayList<convertor_pst>();
#Override

String formattedDate = df.format(c.getTime());
refresh_header.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.mise_a_jour)+" "+formattedDate);
image_one = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image_one);

This is the original wheel adapter class

/**

Convertor main;
public CopyOfSecondWheelAdapter(Context context) {
super(context, R.layout.count_layout, NO_RESOURCE);
setItemTextResource(R.id.country_name);
}
#Override
public View getItem(int index, View cachedView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getItem(index, cachedView, parent);
ImageView img = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.flag);
img.setImageResource(flags[index]);
TextView text = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.lib);
text.setText("code");
return view;
}
#Override
public int getItemsCount() {
return countries.length;
}
#Override
protected CharSequence getItemText(int index) {
return countries[index];
}
}

As far as I understand
currency.setViewAdapter(new CopyOfSecondWheelAdapter(this));
this line creates the adapter, but you fill it up at this line :
new loadingTask().execute();
which is after, so you must call
yourAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
on your adapter to update the data.
Android Developer Help says
notifyDataSetChanged()
Notifies the attached observers that the
underlying data has been changed and any View reflecting the data set
should refresh itself.
So in your case you must
create an adapter (yourAdapter = new CopyOfSecondWheelAdapter ....)
assign it with the setViewAdater (WheelView.setViewAdapter(yourAdapter))
in the "postExecute" of your async task, do a call with yourAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
By the way, I am not sure to understand what you are doing, but in case you need to have a set of data displayed at two different locations, you don't need to duplicate (create a copy). The two list display can share the same adapter.
UPDATE
You have done an update to your question and I answer to that update :
In the original adapter the countries are not loaded in the async task. So when you assign the adapter, the display show the correct values because they are present in the adapter at the moment you assign it.
In your case, you load the values in the async task. When you create the adapter it is empty and you assign it empty, so the display shows an empty list. You should notify your display of the data change.
So in the original, no need to notify as the data is the correct one at the time of assignment. In your case you have to implement a notifyDataSetChanged(). Or change the type of adapter you are extending.

If I see it correctly, you have 2 times a variable name PostList which confuses you. One is created in your activity and one in your adapter and ass you call add() to the variable of your activity, the list in your adapter never gets the items.
Create a setter for the list in your adapter and set the list in your onPostExecute().
