I have a list view, in which, every item contains 3 buttons, one for saving in database, and the other two should open new fragments. I have implemented OnClickListener for which of the buttons in the getView() method of the adapter. When the user clicks the save button, I want to write item in database. Since, writing to database is considered to be long operation, and it should not be done on UI thread, I would like to ask how to do it? Should I make my own thread or can I use service or async task? Here is the code from getView:
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder viewHolder;
if(convertView==null){
convertView=layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.top_tracks_artists_item_layout,parent,false);
viewHolder=new ViewHolder();
viewHolder.trackName= (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.top_tracks_item_name);
viewHolder.trackInfo= (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.top_tracks_item_info);
viewHolder.trackInfo.setTag(position);
viewHolder.trackInfo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("try", "Info clicked " +position);
}
});
viewHolder.trackFavourite= (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.top_tracks_item_favourite);
viewHolder.trackFavourite.setTag(position);
viewHolder.trackFavourite.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("try", "favourites clicked " +position);
}
});
viewHolder.trackWatch= (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.top_tracks_item_watch);
viewHolder.trackWatch.setTag(position);
viewHolder.trackWatch.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("try", "Watch clicked " +position);
//here I want to save to database
}
});
convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
}else{
viewHolder= (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
viewHolder.trackName.setText((String)tracks.get(position).toString());
return convertView;
}
Thank you in advance.
You can use Async task or handlers to achieve that. Here see the below tutorial and refernce in the given link
