I am using Parse.com to build an Android app, and I am having the hardest time figuring out what is not working. Why am I not seeing my list of Category names?
I am not getting any errors, but I am not seeing my data when my activity runs. I have these two parse classes, and a recipe could be part of more than one category.
@ParseClassName("Category")
public class Category extends ParseObject {
public Category() {
}
public String getName() {
return getString("name");
}
public void setName(String name) {
put("name", name);
}
}
@ParseClassName("Recipe")
public class Recipe extends ParseObject{
public Recipe() {
}
public String getName() {
return getString("name");
}
public void setName(String name) {
put("name", name);
}
public Number getTotalMeatAndFat(){
return getNumber("totalMeatAndFat");
}
public void setTotalMeatAndFat(Number totalMeatAndFat){put("totalMeatAndFat", totalMeatAndFat);}
public String getUnit(){ return getString("unit");}
public void setUnit(String unit) {
put("unit", unit);
}
}
I have created and saved my data in parse by calling a CreateData function that looks like this:
public void CreateData() {
// create the categories
Category fCat = new Category();
fCat.put("name", "Fresh Sausages");
fCat.saveInBackground();
Category erCat = new Category();
erCat.put("name", "Fermented Sausages");
erCat.saveInBackground();
// create the base recipes
Recipe rec = new Recipe();
rec.setName( "Sweet Italian");
rec.setTotalMeatAndFat( 1000);
rec.setUnit("g");
Recipe rec1 = new Recipe();
rec1.setName("Hot Italian");
rec1.setTotalMeatAndFat(1000);
rec1.setUnit("g");
Recipe rec2 = new Recipe();
rec2.setName("Chorizo Cantimpalos Style");
rec2.setTotalMeatAndFat(1000);
rec2.setUnit("g");
// assign recipes to categories
ParseRelation<Category> relationRecCat = rec.getRelation("categories");
relationRecCat.add(fCat);
rec.saveInBackground();
ParseRelation<Category> relationRec1Cat = rec1.getRelation("categories");
relationRec1Cat.add(fCat);
rec1.saveInBackground();
ParseRelation<Category> relRec2Cat = rec2.getRelation("categories");
relRec2Cat.add(erCat);
rec2.saveInBackground();
}
Here is the layout for my category_list.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<ListView
android:id="@+id/listview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"></ListView>
</LinearLayout>
And finally, here is my CategoryListActivity onCreate method. Again, I am putting a TextView in the layout just so I can see if the layout is being used.
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.parse.ParseQueryAdapter;
import com.parse.ParseUser;
public class CategoryListActivity extends Activity {
private TextView titleTextView;
private ListView listView;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.category_list);
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
ParseQueryAdapter<Category> adapter;
adapter = new ParseQueryAdapter<Category>(this , Category.class);
adapter.setTextKey("name");
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
// this is just to see if we are getting anywhere at all.
titleTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title);
titleTextView.setText(R.string.hello_world);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// Set up the profile page based on the current user.
ParseUser user = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
showProfile(user);
}
private void showProfile(ParseUser user) {
if (user != null) {
String fullName = user.getString("name");
if (fullName != null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You are logged in as" + fullName, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
I ended up using a ListActivity, and creating a custom adapter.
public class CategoryListActivity extends ListActivity {
int listCount = -1;
private CategoryViewListViewAdapter adapter;
public static final String TAG = CategoryListActivity.class.getSimpleName();
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getListView().setClickable(true);
CategoryViewListViewAdapter adapter = new CategoryViewListViewAdapter(this);
adapter.addOnQueryLoadListener(new ParseQueryAdapter.OnQueryLoadListener<Category>() {
@Override
public void onLoading() {
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Loading...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "Loading.....");
}
@Override
public void onLoaded(List<Category> list, Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "Loading complete.");
Log.d(TAG, "List contains "+ list.size() + " items");
// this is just to see if we are getting anywhere at all.
}
});
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// Set up the profile page based on the current user.
ParseUser user = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
showProfile(user);
}
private void showProfile(ParseUser user) {
if (user != null) {
String fullName = user.getString("name");
if (fullName != null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You are logged in as " + fullName, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
// OnListItemClick event
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
// Display item in toast.
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
Category cat = (Category) l.getAdapter().getItem(position);
String objId = cat.getObjectId().toString();
Log.d(TAG, "Category name = "+ cat.getName());
Log.d(TAG, "Category object id = "+ objId);
// now we have the category, we want to go get the list of Recipes in that category.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, RecipeListActivity.class);
EventBus.getDefault().postSticky(cat);
startActivity(intent);
}
class CategoryViewListViewAdapter extends ParseQueryAdapter<Category> {
public CategoryViewListViewAdapter(Context context) {
super(context, new ParseQueryAdapter.QueryFactory<Category>() {
public ParseQuery<Category> create() {
ParseQuery<Category> query = ParseQuery.getQuery(Category.class);
//query.include("User");
query.whereExists("name");
query.orderByAscending("name");
return query;
}
});
}
@Override
public View getItemView(Category category, View v, ViewGroup parent) {
if(v == null) {
v = View.inflate(getContext(), R.layout.category_list_item, null);
}
super.getItemView(category, v, parent);
final TextView catTextView = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.category_name);
catTextView.setText(category.getName());
return v;
}
}
