I am currently reading data from a Bluetooth Sensor, hence the data changes in real-time and continuously changes. I have stored the data in a variable: liveData:ByteArray
Now I am trying to send liveData from MainActivity to Sensordisplayfragment.
UPDATE
Based on @CTD's comment, this is what I have tried, unfortunately I do not have much knowledge on viewModel, and online research is just confusing as there seems to be many methods to implement a viewModel.
In my MainActivity class where variable liveData is stored:
val model:MyViewModel by viewModels()
private fun processLiveData(liveData : ByteArray){
livedata = liveData
model.uploadData(livedata)
}
In MyViewModel.class where the viewModel is at:
class MyViewModel: ViewModel() {
private val realtimedata = MutableLiveData<ByteArray>()
fun uploadData(data:ByteArray){
realtimedata.value = data
}
fun loadData():LiveData<ByteArray>{
return realtimedata
}
}
Finally, in my Sensordisplay fragment where I am fetching the data:
val model:MyViewModel by viewModels()
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
model.loadData().observe(viewLifecycleOwner,Observer<ByteArray>{
passandprocessLiveData(it)
})
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.sensordisplay, container, false)
}
override fun onResume(){
activity?.requestedOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
model.loadData().observe(viewLifecycleOwner,Observer<ByteArray>{
passandprocessLiveData(it)
})
super.onResume()
}
fun passandprocessLiveData(data:Bytearray){
//extract information from data and make
//cardviews move in realtime according to the extracted data
}
Unfortunately,nothing is getting transferred and my cardviews are not moving. I can guarantee there is no error in the moving of the cardview codes. Anyone able to advice on what I can add? Apparently there is an init() function that I need to use.
class MyViewModel : ViewModel() {
private val realtimedata = MutableLiveData<ByteArray>()
val sensorData: LiveData<ByteArray> = realtimedata
fun update(data: ByteArray){
realtimedata.value = data
}
}
class MainActivity: Activity() {
private val viewModel: MyViewModel by viewModels()
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
bluetoothSensorCallBack { data ->
// Update the realtimedata
viewModel.update(data)
}
}
}
class SensordisplayFragment : Fragment() {
// Use the 'by activityViewModels()' Kotlin property delegate
// from the fragment-ktx artifact
private val model: MyViewModel by activityViewModels()
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
model.sensorData.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, Observer<ByteArray> { data ->
// Update the UI
})
}
}
