I am using https://trinitytuts.com/get-contact-list-and-show-in-custom-listview-android/# tutorial to get contact list in list view. It is working fine but giving duplicate contacts. Can some one guide over this to resolve and get contact once only in the listview.
Code for Mainactivity is as below:

Log.e("count", "" + phones.getCount());
if (phones.getCount() == 0) {

}
while (phones.moveToNext()) {

Why not use a Set?Try storing your contacts in a an Object and that Object in a Set. Remember to override the equals method of that Object based on which you need to eliminate duplicates.
More reading here
http://www.java2novice.com/java-collections-and-util/hashset/duplicate/
You're seeing duplicate contacts because you're querying over a list of phones, not contacts, if a contact has more then one phone, you'll get the same contact multiple times - one for each phone number.
You need to decide how you want to handle contacts with multiple phones, and also contacts without any phone (currently you're not displaying contacts that don't have any phone).
Assuming you want one line per contact, displaying only contacts that have phones, and displaying all phones for that contact on the same row, you'll need to revise your code a bit:
The SelectUser object should accept a list of phones, not just one.
the selectUsers field should be HashMap<Long, SelectUser> and not ArrayList<SelectUser>
String id = ... should actually be Long id = ...
Then in your cursor iterator do this:
if (selectUsers.containsKey(id)) {
SelectUser selectUser = selectUsers.get(id);
selectUser.addPhone(phoneNumber); // new method you need to implement
} else {
SelectUser selectUser = new SelectUser();
selectUser.setThumb(bit_thumb);
selectUser.setName(name);
selectUser.setPhone(phoneNumber);
selectUser.setEmail(id); // Email can't be retrieved from the phones table, see below
selectUser.setCheckedBox(false);
selectUsers.add(selectUser);
}
P.S.
You can't read CommonDataKinds.Email fields when querying the CommonDataKinds.Phone table, if you want to read both phones and emails on the same query, you need to query over the ContactsContract.Data table, and select for Data.MIMETYPE + ' = ' + Phone.CONTENT_TYPE + ' OR ' + Data.MIMETYPE + ' = ' + Email.CONTENT_TYPE.
This will give you a cursor over lines that are either phone or email (you can use the Data.MIMETYPE to check which one is it.

I think it can be done by running the method in a background thread but I am not sure how to do that. Thanks for helping
you can use sample code like this:
((MainActivity)context).runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//run another thread
}
});
or if you are familiar with RxJava you can use it.
consider that most of the time you should perform a function that you will call it after the click, not the click method.
I have a custom ListView with BaseAdapter. In this custom ListView when a user clicks on any particular text, it speaks the text but the problem is that when any user clicks on the back button how to stop this text from the BaseAdapter. I know how to stop from an Activity but don't know how to stop from BaseAdapter when the user presses back button. Here is my code:

The main problem is that your TextToSpeech object belongs to your BaseAdapter when it should belong to the parent activity.
Instead of housing it in the adapter and calling speak on it every time the user clicks an item, I would instead house it in the parent activity and use an "interface callback" that sends a message to the parent when the user clicks an item, sending back the string to speak. This callback relationship works the exact same way as the TextToSpeech.OnInitListener callback that you're already using.
Once the TTS belongs to the parent activity, you can use the activity lifecycle functions to control the shutdown of the TTS like normal.
If you study and understand the following, you should be able to merge it into your code and get a working solution:
Make these changes to your custom BaseAdapter:
// Remove the TextToSpeech object from this class.
public class MyBaseAdapter {
// add this interface definition to your adapter
public interface SpeechClickSubscriber {
void stringNeedsToBeSpoken(String verse);
}
// add this property (the subscriber)
private SpeechClickSubscriber speechClickSubscriber;
// *add* this functionality to your adapter's existing constructor
MyBaseAdapter(SpeechClickSubscriber parent) {
speechClickSubscriber = parent;
}
//...
// change this section of code in your getView() method
speakverse.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick (View v){
// change this...
// singleverse(verselist.get(position).toString());
// to this:
speechClickSubscriber.stringNeedsToBeSpoken(verselist.get(position).toString());
}
});
// ...
}
Make these changes to your MainActivity (or whatever your parent activity is):
// add the SpeechClickSubscriber implementation
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements MyBaseAdapter.SpeechClickSubscriber, TextToSpeech.OnInitListener {
MyBaseAdapter adapter;
TextToSpeech textToSpeech;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// using app context is better and less error prone.
textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(getApplicationContext(), this);
}
// *add* this method to this activity (this is the answer to your question)
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
stopTTS();
}
// use this method as your "onStart()" method...
// this will help prevent any user input processing until the tts is initialized.
private void start_Activity_Because_TTS_Has_Initialized() {
adapter = new MyBaseAdapter(this);
}
// *MOVE* this method from your base adapter to this (parent) activity:
#Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
int result = textToSpeech.setLanguage(Locale.US);
// tts.setPitch(5); // set pitch level
// tts.setSpeechRate(2); // set speech speed rate
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA
|| result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
Log.e("TTS", "Language is not supported");
} else {
}
} else {
Log.e("TTS", "Initilization Failed");
}
}
// *move* and *rename* this method from your adapter to the parent activity:
// from:
/*
private void singleverse(String text) {
DefaultSettings.speed(context);
textToSpeech.setPitch(DefaultSettings.pitchvalue);
textToSpeech.setSpeechRate(DefaultSettings.speedvalue);
textToSpeech.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
} */
// to:
#Override
public void stringNeedsToBeSpoken(String verse) {
Log.i("XXX","stringNeedsToBeSpoken() was called because the user clicked an item.");
Log.i("XXX","This method is being called because this activity subscribes to the callback we created and added to our base adapter.");
//DefaultSettings.speed(context); // <----------------- I don't know what this does.
// I'm assuming that DefaultSettings is a static class you have made.
textToSpeech.setPitch(DefaultSettings.pitchvalue);
textToSpeech.setSpeechRate(DefaultSettings.speedvalue);
textToSpeech.speak(verse, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
public void stopTTS(){
if (textToSpeech != null) {
textToSpeech.stop();
textToSpeech.shutdown();
}
}
}
i have searched all over but no answer is working in my case, i am developing an app where i need to have:
a database
an activity that imports a csv file into that database and displays
it in a ListView
and another activity that onClick of a button runs a cursor on the
values of one column in that database and compares it to a string and
as a result returns a toast that says a match has been found.
I have a DBController class that extends SQLiteOpenHelper and when i call this class in the other activities, it connects perfectly well in the first activity, it imports the csv file and displays it in the listview, but in the second activity its not doing anything, i don't know if the problem is that its not connecting or whether it's returning an empty table.
Here is my code:
DBController class:
package org.opencv.javacv.facerecognition;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import android.util.Log;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
public class DBController extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
private static final String LOGCAT = null;
public DBController(Context applicationcontext) {
super(applicationcontext, "classes.db", null, 1); // creating DATABASE
Log.d(LOGCAT, "Created");
}
#Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
String query;
query = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS course1 ( Id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, student_number TEXT UNIQUE, student_fn TEXT, student_ln TEXT, attended INTEGER DEFAULT 0, time_attended TEXT)";
database.execSQL(query);
}
#Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase database, int version_old,
int current_version) {
String query;
query = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS course1";
database.execSQL(query);
onCreate(database);
}
public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> getAllProducts() {
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> studentList;
studentList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM course1";
SQLiteDatabase database = this.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
//Id, Company,Name,Price
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("Id", cursor.getString(0));
map.put("student_number", cursor.getString(1));
map.put("student_fn", cursor.getString(2));
map.put("student_ln", cursor.getString(3));
map.put("attended", cursor.getString(4));
map.put("time_attended", cursor.getString(5));
studentList.add(map);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
return studentList;
}
}

setListAdapter(adapter);
lbl.setText("Data Imported");
}
}
}
And here is how im comparing a string to a column in the table in the second class (this is just a part of the activity):
first i added this at the top:
DBController controller = new DBController(this);
String number = "200910772";
and here is the onClick code in the onCreate method:
buttonSearch.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
controller = new DBController(getApplicationContext());
SQLiteDatabase db = controller.getWritableDatabase();
String query = "SELECT * FROM course1 WHERE student_number=" + number;
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(query, null);
if(cursor.getCount() > 0) {
cursor.moveToFirst();
while(!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "match found!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
cursor.moveToNext();
}
}
}
});
I just can't figure out what the problem might be..
I'm rather new in android so any help will be highly appreciated.
I solved it, it was a silly mistake really, the csv file when imported was putting double quotations around the text, so a match was never being found because it was considering the double quotations to be part of the string. Once removed a matched was found.
My problem is I've created an immersion activity with several cards in it. When I try and swipe between the cards, nothing happens. I can swipe down to end the activity, but I can't swipe between cards. The funny thing is if I let the glass go to sleep and then wake it up again, I can then swipe between cards. Because of this oddity, I'm pretty sure I'm missing one line of code that gives the cards focus or something, but I don't know what it is.
I've found a workaround using a gesture detector, but it doesn't look like normal swiping, so I'd like to avoid that. My code is below:

In your onCreate(), add this line before the setContentView() like this:
mCardScroller.activate(); //add this line
setContentView(mCardScroller);
You had this line in your onResume() and that's why it is behaving as is.
I had a problem where I was switching the content view between a CardScrollView and a SurfaceView. After I made sure that onPause() and onResume() were both called in the logically correct places, the scroller was fine.
It seems like if the CardScrollView has lost focus then the scroller loses functionality and calling .activate() only works if .deactivate() has been called beforehand, hence why both onPause() and onResume() need to both be called in the logically correct places as .deactivate() is called within onPause() and .activate() is called within onResume(). I tried just calling .deactivate() and .activate() on their own instead of onPause() and onResume() and the behaviour was the same in both instances, supporting what I have written here.
So, in short, if switching between views with setContentView(), be sure to call onPause() before the switch and onResume() after the switch otherwise the scroller will stop responding.

The issue is, I have tried to log the results of the EditText, however I never see that in the logs. What is going on here? I can't work out why I'm never seeing "Text value is " + queryText in the logs.
The problem is you initialize the String value queryText in the event of the screen being created (onCreate()) and not when you actually type in values (after screen creation & dynamic activity on the screen).
This is why the following would work
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
queryText = (queryEditText.getText().toString());
Log.i(LogConstants.LOG, "Text value is " + queryText);
if (queryText.equals("")) {
Toast.makeText(context, "You did not enter a query", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
new SearchAsyncTask().execute();
}
}
Change
Log.i(LogConstants.LOG, "Text value is " + queryText);
to
Log.i(LogConstants.LOG, "Text value is " + queryEditText.getText().toString());
Move
queryText = (queryEditText.getText().toString());
inside the onClick
queryButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
queryText = (queryEditText.getText().toString());
Log.i(LogConstants.LOG, "Text value is " + queryText);
if ("".equals(queryText)) {
Toast.makeText(context, "You did not enter a query", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
new SearchAsyncTask().execute();
}
}
});
