What's this? What should I do? Need some help please...

Here is some code :

on onCreate() method I have this :

vf = (ViewFlipper) findViewById(R.id.details);
        vf.setFlipInterval(3000);
        vf.startFlipping();
        populate();

where populate method is this :

private void populate() {
        for (int i = 0; i < jArray.length(); i++) {
            System.out.println("lungime" + jArray.length());
            LinearLayout l = new LinearLayout(this);
            l.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                    LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
            l.setBackgroundColor(0x000000);
            l.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
            vf.addView(l);

            File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                    + "/Downloads/");

            File[] files = f.listFiles();

            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(files[i].getPath());
            img = new ImageView(this);
            img.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                    LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

            img.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

            System.out.println("target " + target[i]);
            img.setOnTouchListener(this);
            img.setId(i);

            l.addView(img);
            img = null;

        }

Solution

  • According to Daniel Lew's solution, create this class:

    import android.content.Context;
    import android.util.AttributeSet;
    import android.widget.ViewFlipper;
    
    public class GabrielleViewFlipper extends ViewFlipper {
        public GabrielleViewFlipper(Context context) {
            super(context);
        }
        public GabrielleViewFlipper(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
            super(context, attrs);
        }
        @Override
        protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
            try {
                super.onDetachedFromWindow();
            }
            catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                stopFlipping();
            }
        }
    }
    

    and in your layout don't use the normal ViewFlipper, use GabrielleViewFlipper:

    <your.package.GabrielleViewFlipper
        .
        .
        .
    </your.package.GabrielleViewFlipper>
