Passing images as ArrayList<Bitmap> from Fragment to Custom List Adapter

Question

I am not able to send bitmap data from fragment class to custom adapter class. The log show me the following error.

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.example.readersden, PID: 21025 
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Invalid index 0, size is 0
atjava.util.ArrayList.throwIndexOutOfBoundsException(ArrayList.java:255)
at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:308)
at com.example.readersden.CardAdapter.getView(CardAdapter.java:82)

Fragment class (Inside onPostExecute method of AsyncTask) :

            Bitmap.Config conf = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888; 

            Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, conf);
            try {
                JSONObject imageInfo = volumeObject.getJSONObject("imageLinks");
                new GetBookThumb().execute(imageInfo.getString("thumbnail"));
            } catch (JSONException je) {
                bookThumb.add(0, bmp);
                je.printStackTrace();
            }

Fetch Image class (Inside doInBackground method of AsyncTask class) :

            InputStream thumbIn = thumbConn.getInputStream();
            BufferedInputStream thumbBuff = new BufferedInputStream(thumbIn);
            thumbImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(thumbBuff);
            bookThumb.add(0, thumbImg);
            thumbBuff.close();
            thumbIn.close();

Custom Adapter Class (Inside getView method) :

            ArrayList<Bitmap> bookThumb;
            e.thumb.setImageBitmap(bookThumb.get(pos));

I am new to android development and it is so much fun! ^.^ thank you!

Edit :

public CardAdapter(ArrayList<String> bookTitle,
        ArrayList<String> bookAuthor, ArrayList<String> bookPublishDate,
        ArrayList<String> bookPages, ArrayList<Bitmap> bookThumb,
        Activity mAct) {
        super();
        this.bookTitle = bookTitle;
        this.bookAuthor = bookAuthor;
        this.bookPublishDate = bookPublishDate;
        this.bookPages = bookPages;
        this.bookThumb = bookThumb;
        this.mAct = mAct;

        mInflater = (LayoutInflater) mAct
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    }


    @Override
    public View getView(int pos, View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) {


        LayoutField e;
            if (view == null) {
            view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_card, viewGroup, false);
            e = new LayoutField();
            e.title = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.book_title);
            e.thumb = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.book_thumbnail);
            e.author = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.book_author);
            e.publishDate = (TextView) view
                .findViewById(R.id.book_publish_date);
            e.pages = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.book_pages);
            view.setTag(e);
        } else
            e = (LayoutField) view.getTag();

        e.title.setText(bookTitle.get(pos));
        e.thumb.setImageBitmap(bookThumb.get(pos));
        e.author.setText(bookAuthor.get(pos));
        e.publishDate.setText(bookPublishDate.get(pos));
        e.pages.setText(bookPages.get(pos));

        return view;
    }

    class LayoutField {
        TextView title, author, publishDate, pages;
        ImageView thumb;
    }
}

Passing text is working perfectly fine! just the images give index out of bounds.

Answer 1

I was calling the notifydatasetchanged() at the wrong place ie before the images were downloaded in the background thread. since my getCount() was returning the number of images.. by the time i called notifydatasetchanged() the ArrayList was not populated (ie background thread not completed). Hope it helps someone with similer error sometime. thanks everyone for help!
