So what i want to do basically is to scroll the scroll view as the client app sends the command. The method handleScrolling() works in the onCreate() but whenever i call it from the Thread, it doesn't scroll. I think that calling it from the Thread is the problem.
public class TeleprompterActivity extends Activity {
static ScrollView mScrollView;
TextView teleprompterTextView;
String message;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_teleprompter);
teleprompterTextView = findViewById(R.id.teleprompter_text_view);
teleprompterTextView.setText(MainActivity.contents);
mScrollView = findViewById(R.id.scroll);
Thread mThread = new Thread(new ServerClass());
mThread.start();
handleScrolling(3, true);
Log.e("TELE", "handleScrolling at start onCrete");
}
void handleScrolling(final int numLines, final boolean next) {
mScrollView.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
int currPosition = mScrollView.getScrollY();
int textSize = (int) teleprompterTextView.getTextSize();
if (next) {
int newPos = currPosition + (textSize * numLines);
mScrollView.smoothScrollTo(0, newPos);
}
if (!next) {
int newPos = currPosition - (textSize * numLines);
if (newPos < 0) {
newPos = 0;
}
mScrollView.scrollTo(0, newPos);
}
}
});
}
void handleMessage(String message) {
if (message.contains("NEXT:")) {
try {
int numLine = Integer.parseInt(message.substring(5));
handleScrolling(numLine, true);
return;
} catch (NumberFormatException nFE) {
nFE.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(TeleprompterActivity.this, "Number Format Exception", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
if (message.contains("BACK:")) {
try {
int numLine = Integer.parseInt(message.substring(5));
handleScrolling(numLine, false);
} catch (NumberFormatException nFE) {
nFE.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(TeleprompterActivity.this, "Number Format Exception", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
public class ServerClass implements Runnable {
ServerSocket serverSocket;
Socket socket;
DataInputStream dataInputStream;
String receivedData;
Handler handler = new Handler();
@Override
public void run() {
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(8080);
Log.e("TELE", "WAITIN FOR CLIENT");
while (true) {
socket = serverSocket.accept();
dataInputStream = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
receivedData = dataInputStream.readUTF();
handler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
message = receivedData;
handleMessage(message);
}
});
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
The handleScrolling() method works perfectly when called outside the Thread. Is it any problem of reference or something like that. Thanks..
Never update UI components from a thread directly ,call Activity's runOnUiThread so you can use code construct like below:
public class TeleprompterActivity extends Activity {
static ScrollView mScrollView;
TextView teleprompterTextView;
String message;
Activity thisActivity;//<--- used for saving reference to this Activity
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_teleprompter);
teleprompterTextView = findViewById(R.id.teleprompter_text_view);
teleprompterTextView.setText(MainActivity.contents);
mScrollView = findViewById(R.id.scroll);
thisActivity = this;//<---- saving a reference to this activity
Thread mThread = new Thread(new ServerClass());
mThread.start();
handleScrolling(3, true);
Log.e("TELE", "handleScrolling at start onCrete");
}
void handleScrolling(final int numLines, final boolean next) {
thisActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable()//<--used thisActivity.runOnUiThread here
{
public void run() {
int currPosition = mScrollView.getScrollY();
int textSize = (int) teleprompterTextView.getTextSize();
if (next) {
int newPos = currPosition + (textSize * numLines);
mScrollView.smoothScrollTo(0, newPos);
}
if (!next) {
int newPos = currPosition - (textSize * numLines);
if (newPos < 0) {
newPos = 0;
}
mScrollView.scrollTo(0, newPos);
}
}
});
}
