如何将RecyclerView与数据库一起使用？

Question

I have a ListView where I displayed data from a database using mysql and json but by doing some research I found the RecyclerView widget is a more advanced and flexible version of ListView . This widget is a container for displaying large data sets and that with the RecyclerView I can have a result like this. So how I can correct my code? How can I extract an image from a database and fetch it into the RecyclerView

Here's how I've done it in ListView

private void showarticles(String json){
        JSONObject jsonObject = null;
        ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> list = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
        try {
            JSONArray result = new JSONArray(json);

            for(int i = 0; i<result.length(); i++){
                JSONObject jo = result.getJSONObject(i);
                String name = jo.getString("Nom");
                String ref = jo.getString("Description");
                HashMap<String,String> articles= new HashMap<>();
                articles.put("name",name);
                articles.put("ref",ref);
                list.add(articles);
            }

        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
                getActivity(), list, R.layout.list_row2,
                new String[]{"name","ref"},
                new int[]{R.id.name, R.id.description});

        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }
    private void getJSON() {
        class GetJSON extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
            ProgressDialog loading;
            @Override
            protected void onPreExecute() {
                super.onPreExecute();
                loading = ProgressDialog.show(getActivity(), "Téléchargement", "Veuillez patientez...", false, false);
            }
            @Override
            protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
                super.onPostExecute(s);
                loading.dismiss();
                JSON_STRING = s;
                showarticles(s);
            }
            @Override
            protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
                RequestHandler rh = new RequestHandler();
                String s = rh.sendGetRequest(URL);
                return s;
            }
        }
        GetJSON gj = new GetJSON();
        gj.execute();
    }

You need to have a RecyclerView in your layout first.

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/black">

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/my_list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>

Now if you're in an Activity , lets initialize your RecyclerView along with the LayoutManager . In your case you need to have a GridLayoutManager

// Declare them first
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private MyAdapter mAdapter;
private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;

Initialize the items inside your onCreate function and set the Adapter here.

mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_list);
mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SpacesItemDecoration(10));
mLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 2);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
mAdapter = new MyAdapter();
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);

Now get your ArrayList prepared to pass it in the Adapter and then call notifyDataSetChanged() to populate the RecyclerView with the items you want to show.

So here you go with your custom Adapter

public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {

    public MyAdapter() {
    }

    public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

        // Declare the items in each row 
        private TextView myTextView;

        public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
            super(itemView);

            // Initialize the items here
            myTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.my_textview);
        }

        public void bindView(int pos) {
            // Set the items here with specific array elements you have
            String text = myArrayList.get(pos);
            myTextView.setText(text);
        }
    }

    // Now define the viewholder for Normal list item
    public class NormalViewHolder extends ViewHolder {
        public NormalViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);

            itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO: Here's what you want to do when your list item is clicked
                }
            });
        }
    }

    @Override
    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

        View v;

        v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item_layout, parent, false);

        NormalViewHolder vh = new NormalViewHolder(v);

        return vh;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        try {
            if (holder instanceof NormalViewHolder) {
                NormalViewHolder vh = (NormalViewHolder) holder;
                vh.bindView(position);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        if (myArrayList != null)
            return myArrayList.size();
        else return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        return super.getItemViewType(position);
    }
}

Declare myArrayList as global and populate myArrayList with the elements you want and customize the bindView as you want. When you are done with populating the myArrayList call notifyDatasetChanged() on your Adapter like mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() .

Update

So here's I'm taking your updated code and modifying as much as possible. The code might have errors, but I think after you get it modified you can do the rest by yourself.

public class recyclerFragment extends Fragment {
    private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
    private MyAdapter mAdapter;
    private String JSON_STRING;
    public static final String URL = "http://aaaa.com/Back/getArticles.php";
    private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;

    // Declare the list globally
    ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> list;

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootview = inflater.inflate(R.layout.recycler_fragment, container, false);
        mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) rootview.findViewById(R.id.my_list);

        // Initialize the list here 
        list = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

        // Initialize other items
        mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SpacesItemDecoration(10));
        mLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 2);
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
        mAdapter = new MyAdapter();
        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
        getJSON();

        return rootview;
    }

    private void showarticles(String json){
            JSONObject jsonObject = null;

            try {
                JSONArray result = new JSONArray(json);

                for(int i = 0; i<result.length(); i++){
                    JSONObject jo = result.getJSONObject(i);
                    String name = jo.getString("Nom");
                    String ref = jo.getString("Description");
                    HashMap<String,String> articles= new HashMap<>();
                    articles.put("name",name);
                    articles.put("ref",ref);
                    list.add(articles);
                }

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        // Here you can call notifyDataSetChanged in your Adapter. As you've the dataset ready now. 
        mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    private void getJSON() {
        class GetJSON extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
            ProgressDialog loading;
            @Override

            @Override
            protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
                super.onPostExecute(s);
                loading.dismiss();
                JSON_STRING = s;

            }
        }
        GetJSON gj = new GetJSON();
        gj.execute();
    }

    // Here you write your custom Adapter class
