Pass global variable to php file through AsyncTask in Android Studio

I am currently populating a RrecyclerView from a remote database but wish to only query the database for dates based on a users ID. I have the userID assigned as a global variable on the LoginActivty of the app but I'm not sure where to pass that information to the php page from my DateActivity.
My Code for the DateActivity is as follows:
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;

import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class DateActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static String globex_num;
// CONNECTION_TIMEOUT and READ_TIMEOUT are in milliseconds
public static final int CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 10000;
public static final int READ_TIMEOUT = 15000;
private RecyclerView mRVDateList;
private AdapterDate mAdapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_date);
//Make call to AsyncTask
new AsyncFetch().execute();
}
private class AsyncFetch extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
ProgressDialog pdLoading = new ProgressDialog(DateActivity.this);
HttpURLConnection conn;
URL url = null;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
//this method will be running on UI thread
pdLoading.setMessage("\tLoading...");
pdLoading.setCancelable(false);
pdLoading.show();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
url = new URL("thephpfile.com");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
return e.toString();
}
try {
// Setup HttpURLConnection class to send and receive data from php and mysql
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setReadTimeout(READ_TIMEOUT);
conn.setConnectTimeout(CONNECTION_TIMEOUT);
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
// setDoOutput to true as we recieve data from json file
conn.setDoOutput(true);
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
return e1.toString();
}
try {
int response_code = conn.getResponseCode();
// Check if successful connection made
if (response_code == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
// Read data sent from server
InputStream input = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
result.append(line);
}
// Pass data to onPostExecute method
return (result.toString());
} else {
return ("unsuccessful");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return e.toString();
} finally {
conn.disconnect();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
//this method will be running on UI thread
pdLoading.dismiss();
List<DataDate> data=new ArrayList<>();
pdLoading.dismiss();
try {
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(result);
// Extract data from json and store into ArrayList as class objects
for(int i=0;i<jsonArray.length();i++){
JSONObject json_data = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
DataDate dateData = new DataDate();
dateData.date= json_data.getString("date");
data.add(dateData);
}
// Setup and Handover data to recyclerview
mRVDateList = (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.dateList);
mAdapter = new AdapterDate(DateActivity.this, data);
mRVDateList.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mRVDateList.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(DateActivity.this));
} catch (JSONException e) {
Toast.makeText(DateActivity.this, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
}

I solved the problem by passing it though the link.
url = new URL(www.thephpfile.php?userID=" + LoginActivity.userID);
At the start of the php file I did the following:
$userID = $_GET['userID'];

AsyncTask add to class ArrayList

I am trying to write an AsyncTask that will use the Google Places API to get nearby locations. The actual functionality is working correctly, however, when my task finishes the class variables locationNames and locationIDs aren't written to. I've tried the behavior in my code as both progress updates and as a post execute and neither work. How do I add Strings to my ArrayLists in MainActivity from the AsyncTask?

EDIT 1:
Per the suggestion in the comments from #GhostCat, I implemented a NearbyLocation class and I also finished up my method to get addresses. Here is the full code. (I'm not sure if the correct procedure here is to replace my old code or post in this EDIT 1 format. If I should just delete the older code above to shorten this post let me know.)

How do I ensure that my list view element do not disappear when I change the orientation of my device?

I am building an app that displays details of a book you have searched. The problem is that every time I change the orientation of my device the list view elements disappear. I want help in how to make them not disappear. I have a feeling that I need to use a Loader but I have no idea in how to implement it. Here are my activities.

You need to override onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState methods of Activity Class.
In onSaveInstanceState, save the list data into the Bundle.
In onRestoreInstanceState, restore the list with the Bundle data and re-create the list adapter.
Cheers!!!

if you do not have a different layout for the activity landscape mode then simply putting android:configChanges="orientation|screenLayout|screenSize" will do the job for you.
Example:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenLayout|screenSize" />
and if you do have different layout for landscape mode the you need to override the savedInstanceState and save and restore the list accordingly in OnCreate

I am able to see in debug that I received data like in this link, but I found that I should use code below for selecting only distance from the data I received. Dont know how to combinate these codes together.. I would like to have in textView how far is the distance between two cities from url.
final JSONObject json = new JSONObject(response);
JSONArray routeArray = json.getJSONArray("routes");
JSONObject routes = routeArray.getJSONObject(0);
JSONArray newTempARr = routes.getJSONArray("legs");
JSONObject newDisTimeOb = newTempARr.getJSONObject(0);
JSONObject distOb = newDisTimeOb.getJSONObject("distance");
JSONObject timeOb = newDisTimeOb.getJSONObject("duration");
Log.i("Diatance :", distOb.getString("text"));
Log.i("Time :", timeOb.getString("text"));
I am not the author of these codes... Thank You

Can't Convert to JSONArray for showing in ListView

error is : at notes of type org.json.JSONObject cannot be converted to JSONArray

} else {
$response["error"] = "1";
$response["error_message"] = "no row";
echo json_encode($response, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);
}
}
how can i fix this? thanks.

use
JSONObject notes = jSon.getJSONObject("notes");
instead of
JSONArray notes = jSon.getJSONArray("notes");`
Because your json String is collection of JsonOject's it's not contains any JsonArray.
you can use following json checker site before parsing it to known the structure of Json String
