Question

I am filling a ListView with ArrayAdapter in an AsyncTask.
But everytime it only fills in one item.

Could someone explain me why?

onCreate

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.connected_download);
    Log.v("string", "test6");

    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            str_profil = getIntent().getStringExtra("profil");
            str_server = getIntent().getStringExtra("server");
            str_port = getIntent().getStringExtra("port");
            str_user = getIntent().getStringExtra("user");
            str_password = getIntent().getStringExtra("pw");
            new connection_test().execute();
        }
    });
}

AsyncTask

    private class connection_test extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

    protected void onPreExecute(){
        dialog = ProgressDialog.show(connected_download.this, null, "Erstelle Vorschau. Bitte warten...");
    }

    protected String doInBackground(String... connection) {
                listftpitems();
            return null;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        dialog.dismiss();
    }
}

listftpitems

    public void listftpitems(){
    try {
        ftpClient.setConnectTimeout(15000);
        Integer int_port = Integer.parseInt(str_port);
        ftpClient.connect(InetAddress.getByName(str_server), int_port);
        ftpClient.login(str_user, str_password);
        ftpClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
        ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
        System.out.println("status :: " + ftpClient.getStatus());
        System.out.println("FTPClient : " + "Offen");

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 

    final ArrayList<String> your_array_list = new ArrayList<String>();
    final ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_download);
    final FTPFile[] files;
    try {

        files = ftpClient.listFiles();

        for (FTPFile file : files) {
            String details = file.getName();
            your_array_list.add(details);
            Log.v("string", details);
        }

        final ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(connected_download.this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, your_array_list);

        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
            lv.setAdapter(arrayAdapter); 
            }
        });



    }catch (IOException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

}

LogCat (take a look to the Log.v(“string”, details); on listftpitems) so its correct

Answer 1

you are doing everything in current code with wrong way like you are trying to Use runOnUiThread from doInBackground .change your code as:

---

Change listftpitems as:

public ArrayList<String> listftpitems(){
try {
        ArrayList<String> your_array_list = new ArrayList<String>();
        ftpClient.setConnectTimeout(15000);
        Integer int_port = Integer.parseInt(str_port);
        ftpClient.connect(InetAddress.getByName(str_server), int_port);
        ftpClient.login(str_user, str_password);
        ftpClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
        ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
        System.out.println("status :: " + ftpClient.getStatus());
        System.out.println("FTPClient : " + "Offen");

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 
    final FTPFile[] files;
    try {
        files = ftpClient.listFiles();
        for (FTPFile file : files) {
            String details = file.getName();
            your_array_list.add(details);
            Log.v("string", details);
        }
    }catch (IOException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

return your_array_list;
}

---

Change AsyncTask as:

private class connection_test extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
   ArrayList<String> temparrlist = new ArrayList<String>();
    protected void onPreExecute(){
        dialog = ProgressDialog.show(connected_download.this, null, 
                                 "Erstelle Vorschau. Bitte warten...");
    }

    protected ArrayList<String> doInBackground(String... connection) {
              temparrlist=listftpitems();
            return temparrlist;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<String> result) {
       ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = 
                new ArrayAdapter<String>(connected_download.this,
                              android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, 
                              result);
       lv.setAdapter(arrayAdapter); 
        dialog.dismiss();
    }
}

---

Change your Activity onCreate as:

ListView lv ;
    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.connected_download);
    Log.v("string", "test6");

            str_profil = getIntent().getStringExtra("profil");
            str_server = getIntent().getStringExtra("server");
            str_port = getIntent().getStringExtra("port");
            str_user = getIntent().getStringExtra("user");
            str_password = getIntent().getStringExtra("pw");
        lv= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_download);
            new connection_test().execute("");
}
