Execute Async Task Inside another Async Task

I am trying to call another async task inside an OnPostExecute. The 2nd task does not run at all it seems. I am unable to print anything from within to the logs.
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
try {
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray lignes = json.getJSONArray("lignes");
populatelist(lignes);
}
catch (JSONException e) {
}
}
}
The populatelist function fills an array. Inside this function, I try to call the 2nd async task to get values based on this list.
protected void populatelist(JSONArray lignes){
try {
for(int i=0;i<lignes.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonas = lignes.getJSONObject(i);
String fdesignation = jsonas.getString("designation");
String fqtecde = jsonas.getString("qtecde");
String fcode_produit = jsonas.getString("code");
InfoStock(fcode_produit);
items.add(new PickingListProduitItem(fdesignation,"",fqtecde, ""));
}
}
catch(Exception e){
}
}
InfoStock() is the function that is used to return additional from a web service.
protected void InfoStock(String code_produit){
String stockURL = "http://" + mSharedPreferences.getString(Constants.SERVER_IP,"")+"//rest/v2/produit/info/code/"+ code_produit + "?stock=true";
try {
if (mDownloader != null && mDownloader.getStatus() == AsyncTask.Status.RUNNING) {
mDownloader.cancel(true);
mPDialog.dismiss();
}
mPDialog = new ProgressDialog(getApplicationContext());
mDownloader = new XMLDownloader(getApplicationContext(),mPDialog);
byte[][] downloadResults = mDownloader.execute(stockURL).get();
// Read stock info.
String s = new String(downloadResults[0], StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
JSONObject resp = new JSONObject(s);
PrixStockJSONParser psj = new PrixStockJSONParser(resp);
mRepInfoStock = psj.getRepInfoStock();
mRepInfoPrix = psj.getRepInfoPrix();
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
}
I am trying to set a value in the array <> created in the OnPostExecute Method. However there is no error message and the array is not populated at all. Even if I try to print a log from the InfoStock function, it does nothing.
Any suggestions are welcome.

storing an JSON array in java code array in android

I want to store the json array sent by php code in java array in android. My php code is working perfectly fine but in the app I get name: as the output. I want to display the names in the texview for checking purpose. Also I want to work with the namesby accessing them one by one.
Php code:
echo json_encode(array("result"=>$result));
Java code:
public class Salary {
public static final String DATA_URL1 = "http://********.com/name.php?salary=";
public static final String KEY_name = "name";
public static final String JSON_ARRAY1 = "result";
}
This is a method of my Name.java
private void showJSON(String response) {
String name = "";
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
JSONArray result = jsonObject.getJSONArray(Salary.JSON_ARRAY1);
for (int i = 0; i < result.length(); i++) {
JSONObject collegeData = result.getJSONObject(i);
name = collegeData.getString(Salary.KEY_name);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
textViewResult1.setText("Name:\t" + name);
}

Use GSON Library
ArrayList<Salary> salaryArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
try {
salaryArrayList = new Gson().fromJson(response, new TypeToken<Salary>() {}.getType());
} catch (JsonSyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Then use salaryArrayList to get values.
Download GSON jar from this link

Passing text and multiple images as an array using okhttp

I am using Okhttp lib to send data to server. I want to set text and images in RequestBody. For uploading multiple image to server using Okhttp i follow this link. I have implemented that type of code in my app in another activity class and its work fine. I have checked this question that how to pass array in RequestBody.
My arrayList format is like this
blockList
{
block0
{
description0 = First block
image0 = {image1, image2}
video0 = videolink
disp_order0 = 0
block0 = 0
}
block1
{
description1 = second block
image1 = {image1,image2,image2}
video1 = videolink
disp_order1 = 1
block1 = 1
}
.....
}
My Requirement :-
Now i want to send multiple images as an array in single parameter. When i send first block then parameter names are description0,image0[],video1,disp_order and block0 and image0[] will contain first block images as array and same for other.
API is working fine because when i test in postman then i receive the data in server side. You can see in below..
Here is my java function that set the data in RequestBody and make a call to send that data on sever.
ProgressDialog pd;
private OkHttpClient client;
private void saveCastBoxOnServer(String castBoxTitle, String selectedCastBoxId, String selectedCategoryId,
String userId, String action, ArrayList<CastBoxBlock> blockList)
{
try
{
client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.retryOnConnectionFailure(true)
.build();
ArrayList<CastBoxBlock> blockArrayList = blockList;
int blockSize = blockArrayList.size();
MultipartBody.Builder multipartBuilderNew = new MultipartBody.Builder().setType(MultipartBody.FORM);
for (int i = 0; i < blockSize; i++)
{
String description = blockArrayList.get(i).getBlockDescription();
String descriptionField = "description"+i;
multipartBuilderNew.addFormDataPart(descriptionField, description);
/**This is used for distribution of images and videos. After that set that
* Images and video in multipartBuilder.
**/
CastBoxBlock model = blockArrayList.get(i);
ArrayList<SelectedMediaModel> mediaModels = model.getSelectedMediaModelArrayList();
int mediaModelsSize = mediaModels.size();
String passingVideoUri = "";
String videoUri = "";
for (int j = 0; j < mediaModelsSize; j++)
{
String mediaType = mediaModels.get(j).getMediaType();
if (mediaType.equals(StringKeyConstant.mediaVideo))
{
videoUri = mediaModels.get(j).getMediaPath();
if (passingVideoUri.trim().length()==0){
passingVideoUri = videoUri;
}else{
passingVideoUri = passingVideoUri + "," + videoUri;
}
}
else if (mediaType.equals(StringKeyConstant.mediaImage))
{
String imagePath = mediaModels.get(j).getMediaPath();
File sourceFile = new File(imagePath);
/**Changes whether JPEG or PNG**/
final MediaType MEDIA_TYPE = MediaType.parse(
constant.getFileExt(imagePath).endsWith("png") ? "image/png" : "image/jpeg");
String imageName = System.currentTimeMillis() + j + "_block_img.jpg";
String imageField = "image"+i+"["+j+"]";
multipartBuilderNew.addFormDataPart(imageField,imageName,
RequestBody.create(MEDIA_TYPE, sourceFile));
}
}
/**This is used to set the {#videoUri} block of videos and send to sever**/
String videoField = "video"+i;
multipartBuilderNew.addFormDataPart(videoField, passingVideoUri);
/**This will set the {#display_order} in multipartBuilder**/
String displayOrderField = "disp_order"+i;
String displayOrder = blockArrayList.get(i).getBlockIndex();
multipartBuilderNew.addFormDataPart(displayOrderField, displayOrder);
/**This will set the {#block} value in multipartBuilder**/
String blockField = "block"+i;
String block = ""+i;
multipartBuilderNew.addFormDataPart(blockField, block);
}
pd = new ProgressDialog(activity);
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.setMessage(getResources().getString(R.string.please_wait));
pd.show();
RequestBody formBody = multipartBuilderNew
.addFormDataPart("cast_title", castBoxTitle)
.addFormDataPart("user_id", userId)
.addFormDataPart("cast_box", selectedCastBoxId)
.addFormDataPart("category", selectedCategoryId)
.addFormDataPart("action", action)
.build();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(ApiUtils.ADD_FETCH_USER_CAST)
.post(formBody)
.build();
client.newCall(request).enqueue(new Callback() {
#Override
public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Get Api credential fail."+call.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
#Override
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException
{
try
{
if (pd != null){
pd.cancel();
pd.dismiss();
pd = null;
}
String castSavedResponse = response.body().string();
Log.i(TAG, "castSavedResponse = " + castSavedResponse);
}
catch (Exception e){
Log.e(TAG, "***Error : onResponse() method");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
catch (Exception e){
Log.e(TAG, "***Error : saveCastBoxOnServer()");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Thanks in advance. If any one will help it would be very appreciate.

When i check your code then i note one things. I am no sure but i think you change your code on image[] place. you can just change your code as below. I hope this will help you and you got the solution.
Use this code
String imageField = "image"+i+"[]";
Instead of
String imageField = "image"+i+"["+j+"]";
when i passed simple images as an array in Okhttp then i do code as above. For uploading multiple images on server using Okhttp, i also follow this link as you follow.

AsyncTask doInBackground to return multiple strings

I'm trying to build a very basic weather app in android studio. I am using AsyncClass to return multiple strings.
As you can see in the code, I used a class named "Wrapper" that is used to store my strings so I can just return a class object and use it in the onPostExecute method of the AsyncTask. The problem I am facing is that when I test the app, all of the returned Strings somehow are undefined (the default for the Wrapper class). This means the strings are not being updated in the doInBackground method and I can't seem to figure out why!
My Activity
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Log.i(MainActivity.class.getSimpleName(), "Can't connect to Google Play Services!");
}
private class Wrapper
{
String Temperature = "UNDEFINED";
String city = "UNDEFINED";
String country = "UNDEFINED";
}
private class GetWeatherTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Wrapper> {
private TextView textView;
public GetWeatherTask(TextView textView) {
this.textView = textView;
}
#Override
protected Wrapper doInBackground(String... strings) {
Wrapper w = new Wrapper();
String Temperature = "x";
String city = "y";
String country = "z";
try {
URL url = new URL(strings[0]);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
InputStream stream = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
String inputString;
while ((inputString = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(inputString);
}
JSONObject topLevel = new JSONObject(builder.toString());
JSONObject main = topLevel.getJSONObject("main");
JSONObject cityobj = topLevel.getJSONObject("city");
Temperature = String.valueOf(main.getDouble("temp"));
city = cityobj.getString("name");
country = cityobj.getString("country");
w.Temperature= Temperature;
w.city= city;
w.country=country;
urlConnection.disconnect();
} catch (IOException | JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return w;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Wrapper w) {
textView.setText("Current Temperature: " + w.Temperature + " C" + (char) 0x00B0
+"\n" + "Current Location: "+ w.country +"\n" + "City: "+ w.city );
}
}
}
UPDATE:
turned out that that I was using the wrong url in my code,I was using :
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=%f&lon=%f&units=%s&appid=%s
Instead I should've been using:
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?lat=%f&lon=%f&units=%s&appid=%s
-aka instead of weather I should've been using forcast

Your error starts here
JSONObject main = topLevel.getJSONObject("main");
Probably because the topLevel object has no "main" key.
{
"city":{ },
"cod":"200",
"message":0.1859,
"cnt":40,
"list":[ ]
}
Throw your JSON into here. https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
You'll notice that there are many, many "main" keys that are within the "list" element, but you have to parse those starting from getJSONArray("list").
Basically, something like this
String city = "undefined";
String country = "undefined";
List<Double> temperatures = new ArrayList<Double>();
try {
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(builder.toString());
JSONObject jCity = object.getJSONObject("city");
city = jCity.getString("name");
country = jCity.getString("country");
JSONArray weatherList = object.getJSONArray("list");
for (int i = 0; i < weatherList.length(); i++) {
JSONObject listObject = weatherList.getJSONObject(i);
double temp = listObject.getJSONObject("main").getDouble("temp");
temperatures.add(temp);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return new Wrapper(city, country, temperatures);

After studying your code, either your try block is failing, which is returning your object, but empty, or there is something wrong with your JSON parsing. If you could show us the JSON you are trying to parse that would be a great help.
That being said, the fact that it is still showing as "UNDEFINED" is because that is how you initialised it, and becuase (the JSON parse is likely failing), the object is being returned in an un-edited state.
EDIT:
You are parsing the JSON wrong. You are trying to find an object called "main" in the top directory, however the main object only exists inside of an array called list!
Please look here for a more easy to see and visual representation: http://prntscr.com/dlhlrk
You can use this site to help visualise your JSON and create an appropriate soluton based upon it. https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/

Looking at the API you posted earlier (api.openweathermap.org) you are trying to access variables that don't exist. I suggest you have a look at what the API returns and try getting the variables one by one if you are getting a JSONException
EDIT:
What API you are using? In your initial post you said it was http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather but in a comment above you said it was http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast.
If you're using the weather API (as initially stated) you can use the below:
#Override
protected Wrapper doInBackground(String... strings) {
Wrapper w = new Wrapper();
try {
URL url = new URL(strings[0]);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
InputStream stream = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
String inputString;
while ((inputString = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(inputString);
}
Log.d("JSON", builder.toString());
JSONObject topLevel = new JSONObject(builder.toString());
JSONObject main = topLevel.getJSONObject("main");
JSONObject sys = topLevel.getJSONObject("sys");
w.Temperature = String.valueOf(main.getDouble("temp"));
w.city = topLevel.getString("name");
w.country = sys.getString("country");
urlConnection.disconnect();
} catch (IOException | JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return w;
}

RestFB Connection returns empty results

I am trying to use restFB API to get events for several FB companies pages since now until number of days in the future. Somehow it returns nothing. Facebook Graph API returns the results:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?method=GET&path=AmericanChemicalSociety%2Fevents%3Fsince%3Dnow%26until%3D%2B50%20day&version=v2.7
But it is not working when I am trying to implement it in Java:
private Map<String, ArrayList<JsonObject>> fetchEventsForPeriod(Integer daysAhead) {
Map<String, ArrayList<JsonObject>>mapOfEvents = new HashMap<String, ArrayList<JsonObject>>();
if (this.companiesNamesList.size() == 0) {
getCompanies();
}
for (String companyName : this.companiesNamesList) {
ArrayList<JsonObject>companyEventList = new ArrayList<JsonObject>();
Connection<JsonObject> eventListConnection = this.fbClient.fetchConnection(companyName + "/events",
JsonObject.class, Parameter.with("since", "now"), Parameter.with("until", "+ " + daysAhead + " day"));
while (eventListConnection.hasNext()) {
for (List<JsonObject> eventConnectionPage : eventListConnection) {
for (JsonObject event : eventConnectionPage) {
event.put("univNameId", companyName);
String imageURL = formImageURLFromId(event.get("id").toString());
event.put("imageURL", imageURL);
companyEventList.add(event);
}
}
eventListConnection = this.fbClient.fetchConnectionPage(eventListConnection.getNextPageUrl(), JsonObject.class);
}
mapOfEvents.put(companyName, companyEventList);
}
return mapOfEvents;
}
Basically giving me empty results
restFB is initialized correctly and working for other simpler requests:
private final String appAccessToken = "839761616150633|XMK9PSdojx6uCsOmoGccQC7XMTY";
private FacebookClient fbClient;
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public FacebookRestFB() {
this.companiesList = new JsonArray();
this.companiesNamesList = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
this.fbClient = new DefaultFacebookClient(this.appAccessToken, Version.LATEST);
} catch (FacebookException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
}
Update #1
The issue is not yet solved. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
