Question

i have following code to parse a JSon response from Facebook.:

doInBackground(JSONObject... params) {
   try {
     JSONArray posts = params[0].getJSONArray("notifications");
     notifications.clear();
     for (int i = 0; i < posts.length(); i++) {
     Notifications info = new Notifications();
     JSONObject tempobj = (JSONObject) posts.get(i);
     //some code here related to parse...
       }
     }catch(Ex...xxx){}
     sort();
}

and my sort method is as:

private void sort() {
        mActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                Log.e("sort called", "sort called" + actualListView.getSelectedItemPosition());
                try {
                    Collections.sort(notifications, new Comparator<Notifications>() {

                        @Override
                        public int compare(Notifications object1, Notifications object2) {

                            int time1 = Integer.parseInt(object1.updated_time);
                            int time2 = Integer.parseInt(object2.updated_time);
                            if (time1 < time2)
                                return 1;
                            else if (time1 > time2)
                                return -1;
                            return 0;
                        }
                    });
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.e("java.util.Collections", "Error occurred in sorting the notifications");
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });

    }

and in onPostExecute method i call another method to update UI.:
but i am facing exception.

Whats wrong with code? Please help me. Thanks.

Answer 1

You are calling sort() in doInBackground, which calls runOnUiThread … move that pert to onPostExecute, as you cannot call runOnUiThread in doInBackground…

 doInBackground(JSONObject... params) {
 try {
 JSONArray posts = params[0].getJSONArray("notifications");
 notifications.clear();
 for (int i = 0; i < posts.length(); i++) {
 Notifications info = new Notifications();
 JSONObject tempobj = (JSONObject) posts.get(i);
 //some code here related to parse...
   }
 }catch(Ex...xxx){}
 //sort();  //need to be moved
}

onPostExecute() {
   sort();
  .....
}
