Udacity Popular movie Stage 1 Issue


My app is supposed to fetch popular movies photos from TheMovieDB API into a GridView.

I have built all the app components and what's left is how to load the photos into the adapter array when it lands on the phone, How?!

Below is my fragment code.

public class PhotoGrid extends Fragment {

static String[] str1;
GridView gridView;

public PhotoGrid() {

}

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // Add this line in order for this fragment to handle menu events.
    setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == R.id.action_refresh) {
        FetchMoviesPosters fetchMoviesPosters = new FetchMoviesPosters();
        fetchMoviesPosters.execute("popularity.desc");
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {



    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo_grid, container,        false);
    GridView gridView = (GridView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.grid_view);



    return rootView;
   }


  public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    private Context mContext;

    private String[] mThumbIds;

    public ImageAdapter(Context c,String[] str2) {

        mContext = c;
        mThumbIds=str2;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        if(mThumbIds!=null)
        {
            return mThumbIds.length;
        }
        else
        {
            return 0;
        }
    }

    @Override

            imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
            imageView.setPadding(4, 4, 4, 4);
        } else {
            imageView = (ImageView) convertView;
        }

        Picasso.with(mContext).load(mThumbIds[position]).into(imageView);

        //imageView.setImageResource(Integer.parseInt(mThumbIds[position]));
        return imageView;
    }

This is part of what I am getting from the API I used a JSONformatter to make it clearer:

Solution

  • Below is the code after a lot of editing now it is working, posters are displayed

    finally.

    public class PhotoGrid extends Fragment {
