Android Error Log for SectionIndexer Array (with Fast Scroll)


I am using SectionIndexer for an ArrayAdapter and have fast scrolling enabled. Most lists work fine, but a couple crash at the same point and show the same type of log.

(Please note: The ListView is based on data inputted from a MySQL table. The list has about 2000 items. But the SQL in the list has a "where clause" where only 100-200 may show at a time. It appears the thumb scroller naturally scrolls the size of the 2000 items, and is not corresponding to this "where clause". I don't believe this is a PHP/MySQL issue but in my Android/Java.)

Here is log:

Here is code by Line 57:

public int getPositionForSection(int section) {
    return alphaIndexer.get(sections[section]);
}

Also, here is more code in the adapter:

alphaIndexer = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
int size = objects.length;

for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {

    ItemObject it = objects[i];
    String name = it.name;
    String s = name.substring(0, 1);
    s = s.toUpperCase();

    if (!alphaIndexer.containsKey(s)) {
        alphaIndexer.put(s, i);
    }
}

Set<String> sectionLetters = alphaIndexer.keySet();
ArrayList<String> sectionList = new ArrayList<String>(sectionLetters);
Collections.sort(sectionList);
sections = new String[sectionList.size()];

// sectionList.toArray(sections);

for (int i = 0; i < sectionList.size(); i++)
    sections[i] = sectionList.get(i);


public int getSectionForPosition(int position)

{
    int closestIndex = 0;
    int latestDelta = Integer.MAX_VALUE;

    for(int i=0; i < sections.length; i++) {

        Log.d("Sections Length: ", String.valueOf(sections.length));

        int current = alphaIndexer.get(sections[i]);
        if(current == position) {
            //If position matches an index, return it immediately
            return i;
        } else if(current < position) {
            //Check if this is closer than the last index we inspected
            int delta = position - current;
            if(delta < latestDelta) {
                closestIndex = i;
                latestDelta = delta;
            }
        }
    }

    return closestIndex;
}

public Object[] getSections() {
    return sections;
}

Solution

  • Her is my final code that worked:

        int size = objects.length;
    
    
            for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    
                ItemObject it = objects[i];
                String name = it.name;
                String s = name.substring(0, 1);
                s = s.toUpperCase();
    
                if (!alphaIndexer.containsKey(s)) {
    
                    alphaIndexer.put(s, i);
                }
            }
    
            Set<String> sectionLetters = alphaIndexer.keySet();
            ArrayList<String> sectionList = new ArrayList<String>(sectionLetters);
            Collections.sort(sectionList);
            sections = new String[sectionList.size()];
            for (int i = 0; i < sectionList.size(); i++) {
                sections[i] = sectionList.get(i);
            }
    
        }
    
    
    public int getPositionForSection(int section) {
    
            int maxSize = sections.length - 1;
    
            if (section > maxSize) {
                return 0;
            } else {
    
                return alphaIndexer.get(sections[section]);
            }
        }
    
        public int getSectionForPosition(int position)
    
        {
            int closestIndex = 0;
            int latestDelta = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    
            for (int i = 0; i < sections.length; i++) {
    
                int current = alphaIndexer.get(sections[i]);
                if (current == position) {
                    // If position matches an index, return it immediately
                    return i;
                } else if (current < position) {
                    // Check if this is closer than the last index we inspected
                    int delta = position - current;
                    if (delta < latestDelta) {
                        closestIndex = i;
                        latestDelta = delta;
                    }
                }
            }
    
            return closestIndex;
        }
