Broadcast receiver in BaseAdaper

Question

I want to update a textview into a listView when i get my current position (GPS).

So i send a broadcast in my activity when i had my position. In my listViewAdapter, i have a receiver who set text. But i don't know where i can registrer and unregistrer my broadcast.

May be there is an other solution to send parameter to my listViewAdapter when my current position is available.

MainActivity :

private ArrayList<Establishment> listEstablishment;
private ListViewEstablishmentsAdapter adapter;


@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.home_layout);

        pr = new PositionReceiver();

        //Get the list view
        ListView l = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listviewEstablishments);

        //Create WebService to retrieve establishments datas
        EstablishmentInfosWebService ews = new EstablishmentInfosWebService("select * from establishment");
        listEstablishment = ews.getData();


        //Create a new adapter View
         adapter = new ListViewEstablishmentsAdapter(this, listEstablishment);
        l.setAdapter(adapter);



         public class PositionReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                Location l = (Location) intent.getExtras().get("LOCATION");
                int i = 0;
                for(Establishment e : listEstablishment) {
            double d = distance(e.getLatitude(), e.getLongitude(), l.getLatitude(), l.getLongitude(), 'K');
                e.setDistance(d+"");
            Log.d(TAG,"onreceive "+i);
            i++;
        }
            }
        }



 @Override
        public void onResume() {
            super.onResume();
            registerReceiver(pr, new IntentFilter("com.example.smartoo.POSITION_INTENT"));
        }

        /*
         * Called when the Activity is going into the background.
         * Parts of the UI may be visible, but the Activity is inactive.
         */
        @Override

** ANSWER : **

public void updateEstablishmentList(ArrayList<Establishment> newlist) {
            establishmentsList = newlist;
            this.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

Answer 1

You shouldn't put the BroadcastReceiver in the Adapter , it doesn't belong there. Put it in the Activity or Fragment which contains the ListView . To pass a new location to the ListView you need to implement a method to set the location to a specific row in the Adapter :

Of course your class Establishment needs to contain a field to store the Location along with appropriate getters and setters:

public void setLocationAtPosition(int position, Location location) {
    Establishment e = (Establishment) getItem(position);
    e.setLocation(location);
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}

And in getView() of your Adapter :

Establishment e = (Establishment) getItem(position);
if (e != null) {
    holder.Name.setText(e.getName());
    holder.Description.setText(e.getDescription());

    Location location = e.getLocation();
    double longitude = location.getLongitude();
    double latitude = location.getLatitude()
    holder.Distance.setText(longitude + "/" + latitude);
}
