Ok, I am working on one android application. It has many features, such as showing the News, Horoscope, TV schedule, Weather forecast … Every piece of information is comming to me through RSS, using XML. Application works as it is supposed to do when I have wifi or 3G, but as soon as there is no wifi or 3G signal, or some of the links are down under maintenance I get kicked out of application and error like:
The application has stopped unexpectedly! Please Try Again.
I was trying to make some Activity that will show something like:
There was a problem with your request! Please make sure that wifi or 3G signals are available or try again later.
I’ve tried many ways but nothing seams to work. Here are a few classes that might help:
1.
public class Pocetna extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_pocetna);
.
.
.
vijesti.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent xw = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Vijesti.class );
xw.putExtra("A", "http://klix.ba/rss/naslovnica");
startActivity(xw);
}
});
2.
public class Vijesti extends ListActivity {
static String url =null;
// XML node keys
static final String KEY_ITEM = "item"; // parent node
static final String KEY_TITLE = "title";
static final String KEY_DATE = "pubDate";
static final String KEY_DESC = "encoded";
static final String UVOD = "uvod";
static final String CLANAK = "clanak";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.vijesti_m);
Intent in = getIntent();
// Get XML values from previous intent
url = in.getStringExtra("A");
final ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> menuItems = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
ArrayList<String> xqw = new ArrayList<String>();
ParserVijesti parser=null;
Document doc=null;
try {
parser = new ParserVijesti();
String xml = parser.getXmlFromUrl(url); //get XML
doc = parser.getDomElement(xml);
} catch (Exception e1) {
finish();
}
NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName(KEY_ITEM);
//loop
for (int i=0; i< nl.getLength(); i++){
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
HashMap<String, String> mapq = new HashMap<String, String>();
Element e = (Element) nl.item(i);
//add to map
map.put(KEY_TITLE, parser.getValue(e, KEY_TITLE));
map.put(KEY_DATE, parser.getValue(e, KEY_DATE));
map.put(UVOD, parser.getValue(e,UVOD));
map.put(CLANAK, parser.getValue(e,CLANAK));
menuItems.add(map);
xqw.add(parser.getValue(e,KEY_TITLE));
}
for(int gf=0; gf<xqw.size(); gf++){
Log.w("ISPISI: ", xqw.get(gf));
}
ArrayAdapter adapterx = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.vijesti_m,R.id.tetkica, xqw);
setListAdapter(adapterx);
//singleView
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id){
int hg = position;
HashMap<String, String> kaktus = menuItems.get(hg);
String uvod1 = kaktus.get(UVOD);
String clanak1 = kaktus.get(CLANAK);
String dat1 = kaktus.get(KEY_DATE);
String tit1 = kaktus.get(KEY_TITLE);
//intent
Intent inx = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), VijestiSingle.class);
inx.putExtra(KEY_TITLE, tit1);
inx.putExtra(KEY_DATE, dat1);
inx.putExtra(UVOD, uvod1);
inx.putExtra(CLANAK, clanak1);
startActivity(inx);
}
});
}
}

}
So basically, what I want to do is not to check whether there is or not wifi or 3G. I just want to implement that Activity that will show that there is an error and not allow instantly kicking out of application whenever error occures. Please, anyone?
To check if the device is connected to Wifi or 3G, you could create a method like this:
Then, if the Activity you are trying to launch is dependent on internet connection, you could do:
You’ll need these permissions in your manifest:
