Question

I am using Asynctask to retrieve the list from server in autocompletetextview but i am getting force close.My code is:

public class Aixclass extends Activity 
{

    protected Void[] params1;
    String[] strarray;
    TextView myXmlContent;
    AutoCompleteTextView actv;
    static final String URL="http://cympac.com/apps/xmlfile.xml";
    static final String KEY_COMMAND = "command"; // parent node
    static final String KEY_WORD = "word";
    static final String KEY_EXPLANATION = "explanation";
    String stringXmlContent;


    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.newaix);
        TextView tv1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        TextView tv2=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        TextView tv4=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView4);
        //TextView tv5=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView5);
        String text="Cympac Software Solutions Pvt Ltd. www.cympac.com";
        tv4.setText(text);
        tv4.setTextColor(Color.RED);
        Pattern pattern=Pattern.compile("www.cympac.com");
        Linkify.addLinks(tv4,pattern,"http://");
        tv4.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);


         actv=(AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);
        Button b1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        Button b2=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
        Button b3=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button3);
        Button b4=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button4);

        actv = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);
        actv.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                new Mytask1().execute(params1);

            }
        });





    }



    private class Mytask1 extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,String[]>
    {

        @Override
        protected String[] doInBackground(Void... params1) 
    {
        try{             
            URL url=new URL("http://cympac.com/apps/aixcomm.txt");
            BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream())); 

               String readString = new String();   


               ArrayList<String> val = new ArrayList();
               int i=0;

               while ((readString = buf.readLine()) != null) {
                   Log.d("line: ", readString);   
                   val.add(readString);
                   Log.d("values", val.get(i).toString());
                   i++;
               }

               /*String[] strarray = new String[val.size()];
                strarray = val.toArray(strarray);
                for(String s : strarray)
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "data:"+s, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();*/


               String[] strarray = new String[val.size()];/// SEE THIS
               strarray = val.toArray(strarray);
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return strarray;
    }
        protected void onPostExecute(String[] result) 
        {
            ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = 
                new ArrayAdapter<String>(Aixclass.this,android.R.layout.select_dialog_item,strarray);
             actv.setThreshold(1);
             actv.setAdapter(adapter);
            super.onPostExecute(result);
        }

Answer 1

Problem is at this line while ((readString = buf.readLine()) != null) {. I guess String readString=new String() is the porblem.

Just declare String as String readString;

This may helps you
