I am learning Android development now and I wanted to try out whatever basic programs I’ve done in iOS development. The problem is to get the weather condition of a place and set the condition in TextView.
Code
package com.bh.weather;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
class WeatherTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
protected void onPostExecute(String json) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(json);
String value = jsonObject.getJSONObject("data")
.getJSONArray("current_condition").getJSONObject(0)
.getJSONArray("weatherDesc").getJSONObject(0)
.getString("value");
Log.d("bh", value);
MainActivity m = new MainActivity();
m.setTextView(value);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... urlTojson) {
String json = new String();
try {
DefaultHttpClient defaultClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGetRequest = new HttpGet(urlTojson[0]);
HttpResponse httpResponse = defaultClient.execute(httpGetRequest);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpResponse.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));
json = reader.readLine();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return json;
}
}
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private TextView tv = null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//changed the API key here to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
new WeatherTask().execute("http://free.worldweatheronline.com/feed/weather.ashx?q=Bangalore,India&format=json&num_of_days=1&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
}
public void setTextView(String v) {
Log.d("bh","Inside setTextView:"+v);
if(v.equals("")) {
Log.d("bh","Value not received");
}
else {
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
tv.setText(v);
}
}
}
The resulting JSON looks like this (jsonviewer.stack.hu can be used for viewing) :

As you can see from the code, I get the value “Clear” after parsing (USES Internet permission set). But for some reason, this is not getting set in the TextView. I don’t know what mistake I have done here. Logcat is showing the logged values properly. Please help.
Cheers.
