  • 0

i’m new to android development and i’m playing around with json data. I managed to get the parsing to work. I want to show a ProgressDialog and i read that i need to use AsyncTask that. But for some reason i get a force close as soon as i put the same working code inside doInBackground() eventhough eclipse says everything is fine.

Here is the source code:

public class HomeActivity extends Activity {


  public class BackgroundAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> {

      ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog (HomeActivity.this);


      @Override
      protected void onPreExecute() {
        dialog.setMessage("Loading...please wait");
        dialog.setIndeterminate(true);
        dialog.setCancelable(false);
        dialog.show();
      }

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

      @Override
      protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {         
            try {
                URL json = new URL("http://www.corps-marchia.de/jsontest.php");
                URLConnection tc = json.openConnection();
                BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(tc.getInputStream()));

                String line;
                while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                    JSONArray ja = new JSONArray(line);
                    JSONObject jo = (JSONObject) ja.get(0);
                    TextView txtView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
                    txtView.setText(jo.getString("text"));
                }
            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

       return null;
       }
     }


    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        new BackgroundAsyncTask().execute();
    }

}

Here is the error log:

    Check the docs for AsyncTask. You can’t directly manipulate the UI from within doInBackground. In order to make UI updates, you need to call publishProgress. You will also need to change the signature of your AsyncTask to pass a String. So something like this:

    public class BackgroundAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, String, Void> {
    TextView txtView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
    ...
    protected void onProgressUpdate(String... message) {
        txtView.setText(message[0]);
    }
    ...
    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
         try {
             URL json = new URL("http://www.corps-marchia.de/jsontest.php");
             URLConnection tc = json.openConnection();
             BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(tc.getInputStream()));

             String line;
             while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                 JSONArray ja = new JSONArray(line);
                 JSONObject jo = (JSONObject) ja.get(0);
                 publishProgress(jo.getString("text"));
             }
         } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         } catch (IOException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         } catch (JSONException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         }

    return null;
    }
