Hey all,
So, tonight I implemented the menu bar and preferencesActivity. The
app works great it still updates the status to yamba.marakana.com but
one thing stopped working. On the twitter update thread the
onPostExecute function Marko made would pop up a toast box that would
say if the status fail or succed. This is the part that broke for me
and its very frustating because none of the code I implemented
changed this(atleast I don't think it does). Now I did change this
code around a little bit becuase orginially the toast text would be
the status i wrote or "Failure to Post". So I changed it to say
"Successful Post!" Anyways I'll post my code, I'll still be looking
into this issue tonight but the help of others is always welcomed!
Thanks alot marakana community!
Thread Code: The onPostExecute(String result) function is the one that stopped displaying the toast box.
Code:
class PostToTwitter extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... statuses) {
try {
winterwell.jtwitter.Status status = twitter
.updateStatus(statuses[0]);
return status.text;
} catch (TwitterException e) {
Log.e(TAG, e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
return "Failed to post!";
}
}
@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
String successResult = "Successful Post!";
if (result == "Failed to post!") {
Toast.makeText(StatusActivity.this, result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(StatusActivity.this, successResult,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
Twitter code and new OnClick function:
Code:
// get Twitter Info
private Twitter getTwitter() {
if (twitter == null) {
String username = preferences.getString("username", "");
String password = preferences.getString("password", "");
String APIRoot = preferences.getString("APIRoot",
"http://yamba.marakana.com/api");
twitter = new Twitter(username, password);
twitter.setAPIRootUrl(APIRoot);
}
return twitter;
}
//reset twitter info when username/password is changed in preferencesActivity
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences preferences, String key){
twitter = null;
}
public void onClick(View inView) {
try{
getTwitter().setStatus(editText.getText().toString());
} catch (TwitterException e) {
Log.d(TAG, "Twitter setStatus failed: " + e);
}
}
Menu Code
Code:
// menu options stuff
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.itemPreferences:
startActivity(new Intent(this, PreferencesActivity.class));
break;
}
return true;
}
Class definition and onCreate method:
Code:
public class StatusActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener,
TextWatcher, OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {
private static final String TAG = "StatusActivity";
SharedPreferences preferences;
EditText editText;
Button btnUpdate;
Twitter twitter;
TextView textCount;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.status);
// find views in stauts.xml
// tell button to listen for its click
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
btnUpdate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonUpdate);
btnUpdate.setOnClickListener(this);
textCount = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textCounter);
textCount.setText(Integer.toString(140));
textCount.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
editText.addTextChangedListener(this);
preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
preferences.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
}
