在后台更新ListView？

Question

I have a Fragment that contain a ListView with Adapters. I want when replace this Fragment the listview continue changing on background. To do it I create a method with a TimerTask inside a AsyncTask, because I want the ListView change to each 10 seconds. If the Fragment that contain the ListView is visible without replace its works fine, but if I make replace isn't works and throws an exception NullPointerException.

How can I solve it ?

I'm trying this.

Fragment

Answer 1

First of All, you need to assign the Anonymous Inner Type AsyncTask class to a class variable. Before doing that you need to create a nested AsyncTask class within your Activity.

Your extended AsyncTask class should look something like this :

public class MyContinousAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>() {
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) {             
            timer = new Timer();
            timerTask = new TimerTask() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {                    
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            tvPontuacao.setText(BatalhaConfigs.USUARIO_PONTUACAO);
                            getAllBattles();
                        }
                    });                             
                }
            };
            timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(timerTask, 100, 10000);
            return "execute";
        }

    }

Then you need to declare a class variable of this Class in your Activity:

private MyContinousAsyncTask myContinouslyRunningAsyncTask;

now after doing the above, just modify your clockTask() method like this:

/** timer para atualizar o adapter */
private void clockTask(){
 myContinouslyRunningAsyncTask = new MyContinousAsyncTask();
 myContinouslyRunningAsyncTask.execute("execute");

}

now you should stop this AsyncTask on the onPause() Event of your Fragment, other wise you will be getting NPE because of accessing the de-allocated UI Components.

The code should look like this:

 @Override

 protected void onPause() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onPause();
    if(myContinouslyRunningAsyncTask != null)
    {
      myContinouslyRunningAsyncTask.cancel();
    }

    if(timer != null)
    {
     timer.cancel();
     timer.purge();
    }
}

To make your code further efficient, you should not call the clockTask(); in onActivityCreated(..) method, but in onResume() method, like this:

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onResume();
    clockTask();
 }

I hope this helps.
