Garmaine Staff asked 2 years ago
I have just started out with Java development(android app) and I stumbled upon a problem I don't know how to solve.
So I have two fragments: 1) Fragment with barcode scanner 2) Fragment with just a simple textview
The app should be able to scan barcode, get API response based on the scan result, deserialize it into a Java object and then show value of one variable in the textview located in the second fragment.
I have already implemented the barcode scanner and class to get data from API and turn it into a Java object. The problem is that I can't find a way to send the barcode result to the class that handles the API data retrieval and also how to send the object to the second fragment.
Can someone please direct me in the right way on how to implement it correctly?
1)Barcode fragment
public class BarcodeFragment extends Fragment {
private CodeScanner mCodeScanner;
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container,
@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final Activity activity = getActivity();
View root = inflater.inflate(R.layout.barcode_fragment, container, false);
CodeScannerView scannerView = root.findViewById(R.id.scanner_view);
mCodeScanner = new CodeScanner(activity, scannerView);
mCodeScanner.setDecodeCallback(new DecodeCallback() {
@Override
public void onDecoded(@NonNull final Result result) {
activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(activity.getApplicationContext(), result.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
});
scannerView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
mCodeScanner.startPreview();
}
});
return root;
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mCodeScanner.startPreview();
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
mCodeScanner.releaseResources();
super.onPause();
}
}
2) Class to get data from API and turn it into JAVA object
public class RetrieveFeedTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {
Product productFromDatabase;
String resultString;
public RetrieveFeedTask(String barcodeResult){
resultString = barcodeResult;
}
protected void onPreExecute() {
}
protected String doInBackground(Void... urls) {
try {
URL url = new URL("https://api.appery.io/rest/1/apiexpress/api/example/Products?apiKey=12345678&Barcode=" + resultString);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
try {
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuilder.append(line).append("\n");
}
bufferedReader.close();
return stringBuilder.toString();
}
finally{
urlConnection.disconnect();
}
}
catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("ERROR", e.getMessage(), e);
return null;
}
}
protected void onPostExecute(String response) {
if(response == null) {
response = "THERE WAS AN ERROR";
}
Log.i("INFO", response);
deSerializeProduct(response);
}
public void deSerializeProduct(String response){
response = response.substring(1,response.length() - 3);
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(response);
stringBuilder.append(",\"productId\":\"23323123sdasd\"}"); // for testing
String responseToDeSerialize = stringBuilder.toString();
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
try {
productFromDatabase = mapper.readValue(responseToDeSerialize, Product.class);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
3) Cart fragment class where to name of the object should appear in the textview
public class CartFragment extends Fragment {
static TextView showReceivedData;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup parent, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Defines the xml file for the fragment
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.cart_fragment, parent, false);
showReceivedData = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.resultCode);
return view;
}
}
