How to fix an empty fragment?

I am new to Android development, trying to create my own app. It should display a particular YouTube Channel by using the YouTube Data API. I have started with the standard bottom navigation template in Android Studio and used the following project on Github for some start-up help. https://github.com/stressGC/Remake-YouTube-Android
I had to change a few things like the deprecated http call inside the code to keep it running with the new Android APKs. Everything seems fine from my point of view: I can see that the API content looks good and that each title / description / publishdate is placed in the according variables. There is also no error message in the log. When I start the emulator, the app is running fine. But as soon as I switch to the "Dashboard" fragment (where the code is placed), it is empty.
DashboardFragment.java
public class DashboardFragment extends Fragment {
private static String API_KEY = "hidden"; //normaler API key ohne limits, kein oauth
private static String CHANNEL_ID = "hidden";
private static String CHANNEL_GET_URL = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&order=date&channelId="+CHANNEL_ID+"&maxResults=20&key="+API_KEY+"";
private RecyclerView mList_videos = null;
private VideoPostAdapter adapter = null;
private ArrayList<YouTubeDataModel> mListData = new ArrayList<>();
public DashboardFragment () {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(#NonNull LayoutInflater inflater,
ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_dashboard, container, false);
mList_videos = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.mList_videos);
initList(mListData);
new RequestYouTubeAPI().execute();
return view;
}
private void initList(ArrayList<YouTubeDataModel> mListData) {
mList_videos.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity()));
adapter = new VideoPostAdapter(getActivity(), mListData);
mList_videos.setAdapter(adapter);
}

Unfortunately I have no idea why the fragment is still empty. And without any error in Android Studio log I really hope you can help me :/

Inside your RequestYouTubeAPI ASyncTask you have this error code:
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
Then in onPostExecute you have the following:
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String response) {
super.onPostExecute(response);
if(response != null){
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
Log.e("response", jsonObject.toString());
mListData = parseVideoListFromResponse(jsonObject);
initList(mListData);
//adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Therefore if you get an error, you return null and if onPostExecute is given a null response it does nothing.
So this one place you could have an error and therefore a blank fragment.
Before you fix this, you can prove this is happening like so:
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String response) {
super.onPostExecute(response);
if(response == null){
Log.e("TUT", "We did not get a response, not updating the UI.");
} else {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
Log.e("response", jsonObject.toString());
mListData = parseVideoListFromResponse(jsonObject);
initList(mListData);
//adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
You can fix this two ways:
in doInBackground change the catch to this:
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("TUT", "error", e);
// Change this JSON to match what the parse expects, so you can show an error on the UI
return "{\"yourJson\":\"error!\"}";
}
or onPostExecute:
if(response == null){
List errorList = new ArrayList();
// Change this data model to show an error case to the UI
errorList.add(new YouTubeDataModel("Error");
mListData = errorList;
initList(mListData);
} else {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
Log.e("response", jsonObject.toString());
mListData = parseVideoListFromResponse(jsonObject);
initList(mListData);
//adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Hope that helps, there may be other errors in the code but this is one case that can happen if there is a problem with the API, the Json, the authorization, the internet etc.

ViewPager Not getting Images from server

I am using ViewPager in my app and fetch the data(Images) from server(with JSON). Even if runs smoothly no image is shown in the viewpager.
I read so many tutorial regarding this, but nobody solve my problem. Please tell me where i am wrong...
Here is my code:
view_pager.xml
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/viewpager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="40dp" />
image_view.xml
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image_adapter"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>
ViewPager_Adapter.java
public class ViewPager_Adapter extends PagerAdapter {
private String urls;
private LayoutInflater inflater;
private Context context;
ArrayList<String> mylist;
public ViewPager_Adapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> mylist) {
this.context = context;
this.urls = urls;
this.mylist = mylist;
inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
#Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
container.removeView((View) object);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mylist.size();
}
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup view, int position) {
View imageLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.image_view, null);
assert imageLayout != null;
final ImageView imageView = (ImageView) imageLayout.findViewById(R.id.image_adapter);
Glide.with(context)
.load(mylist.get(position))
.into(imageView);
view.addView(imageLayout,0);
return imageLayout;
}
#Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return view.equals(object);
}
#Override

}
#Override

return null;
}
}

return "true";
} else {

return errormsg;
}
} catch (ApiException e) {

}
return null;
}
#Override

}
}
}
}
public void showList(final JSONArray responsearray) {
try {
for (int i = 0; i < responsearray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject responseObject = responsearray.getJSONObject(i);
Log.e("COUNT" + i, String.valueOf(responseObject));
imageOne = responseObject.getString(TAG_PHOTO_ONE);
get = new HashMap<>();
get.put(TAG_PHOTO_ONE, imageOne);
myList = new ArrayList<>();
myList.add(String.valueOf(get));
}
viewpager_adapter = new ViewPager_Adapter(getActivity(), myList);
String test = String.valueOf(myList);
String imgpath = getString(R.string.imgpath);
String finalimgpath = imgpath + imageOne;
Log.e("FINALPATH", finalimgpath);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mPager.setAdapter(viewpager_adapter);
viewpager_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}

Use this code for showList() as you are not populating you're arrayList properly the data is being over write in one position .
So , what you have to do is initialize it out side of for loop .
public void showList(final JSONArray responsearray) {
try {
//here
myList = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < responsearray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject responseObject = responsearray.getJSONObject(i);
Log.e("COUNT" + i, String.valueOf(responseObject));
imageOne = responseObject.getString(TAG_PHOTO_ONE);
get = new HashMap<>();
get.put(TAG_PHOTO_ONE, imageOne);
myList.add(String.valueOf(get));
}
viewpager_adapter = new ViewPager_Adapter(getActivity(), myList);
String test = String.valueOf(myList);
String imgpath = getString(R.string.imgpath);
String finalimgpath = imgpath + imageOne;
Log.e("FINALPATH", finalimgpath);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mPager.setAdapter(viewpager_adapter);
viewpager_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
Edit
Also if your final image path is as below then you have to update your code in adapter for image path as follow.
Update position in view.addView() too.
String test = String.valueOf(mylist.get(position));
String imgpath = getString(R.string.imgpath);
String finalimgpath = imgpath + test;
Glide.with(context)
.load(finalimgpath)
.into(imageView);
view.addView(imageLayout,position);
return imageLayout;

In your For loop you are initialising your list everytime
for (int i = 0; i < responsearray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject responseObject = responsearray.getJSONObject(i);
Log.e("COUNT" + i, String.valueOf(responseObject));
imageOne = responseObject.getString(TAG_PHOTO_ONE);
get = new HashMap<>();
get.put(TAG_PHOTO_ONE, imageOne);
myList = new ArrayList<>(); // THIS IS WRONG. don't initialise every time
myList.add(String.valueOf(get)); // THIS IS ALSO WRONG. you are adding hashmap object to list
}
So make your for loop like this
myList = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < responsearray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject responseObject = responsearray.getJSONObject(i);
Log.e("COUNT" + i, String.valueOf(responseObject));
imageOne = responseObject.getString(TAG_PHOTO_ONE);
get = new HashMap<>();
get.put(TAG_PHOTO_ONE, imageOne);
myList.add(imageOne);
}

You just forgot to setLayoutManager(); to your recyclerView check it
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
EDIT
Network operation need some time to perform action so better to set your set your adapter after you get data from API
Try this
data_list = new ArrayList<>();
recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
adapter = new CustomAdapter(this,data_list);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
load_weather_info(37.8267,-122.4233);
Change your load_weather_info method like below code
private void load_weather_info(final double latitude, final double longitude) {
//this.latitude = latitude;
//this.longitude = longitude;
AsyncTask<Integer, Void, Void> task = new AsyncTask<Integer, Void, Void>() {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Integer... integers) {
String apiKey = "--------------------------------";
String forecastUrl = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/" + apiKey +
"/" + latitude + "," + longitude;
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(forecastUrl)
.build();
try {
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
JSONArray array = new JSONArray(response.body().string());
for (int i = 0; i<array.length(); i++){
JSONObject jsonObject = array.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject daily = jsonObject.getJSONObject("daily");
JSONObject mDaily = daily.getJSONObject("data");
Daily daily1 = new Daily(mDaily.getString("summary"), mDaily.getString("icon"),
mDaily.getDouble("precipProbability"), mDaily.getLong("time"));
data_list.add(daily1);
}
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
}
};
task.execute((int) latitude, (int) longitude);
}

Most of the error are already pointed out. just rectify them.
data_list = new ArrayList<>();
recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
adapter = new CustomAdapter(this,data_list);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
load_weather_info(37.8267,-122.4233);
Notify adapter as follows.
private void load_weather_info(final double latitude, final double longitude) {

PS: Here you should make use of onPostExecute() to get the returned data set and handle the Exception.

You have not notified the adapter on the change of data.
for (int i = 0; i<array.length(); i++){
JSONObject jsonObject = array.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject daily = jsonObject.getJSONObject("daily");
JSONObject mDaily = daily.getJSONObject("data");
Daily daily1 = new Daily(mDaily.getString("summary"), mDaily.getString("icon"),

data_list.add(daily1);
}
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); //notify here

Android spinner with objects

I have an async task which populates a spinner with data. The spinner data comes from objects in a list. My problem is when I set the onclick listener for the items in the list I also want the id from the object not just the name:
public class PortfolioGetAllLists extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

useThis = thisListener;
Dialog = new ProgressDialog(c);
}
#Override

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return readJSONFeed(arg0[0]);
}
protected void onPreExecute() {
Dialog.setMessage("Getting Brewery List");
Dialog.setTitle("Loading");
Dialog.setCancelable(false);
Dialog.show();
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result){
//decode json here
try{
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(result);
//acces listview
final ListView lv = (ListView) ((Activity) c).findViewById(R.id.allYourBeersList);
//make array list for beer
final List<String> tasteList = new ArrayList<String>();
tasteList.add("");
for(int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
String bID = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("id");
String beer = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
String rate = "na";
String beerID = "na";
//create object
ShortBeerInfo tempTaste = new ShortBeerInfo(beer, rate, beerID, bID);
//add to arraylist
tasteList.add(beer);
}
// Selection of the spinner
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) ((Activity) c).findViewById(R.id.portfolioSpinner2);
// Application of the Array to the Spinner
ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(c, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,tasteList );
spinnerArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); // The drop down view

This line below is the line which get the beers name, but I do not know how to get also the id from the object which sets the listview name:
String portfolioChoice = portfolioType.getSelectedItem().toString();
Update:
I have changed my above code to this to incorporate a custom adapter:

String rate = "na";
String beerID = "na";
//create object

tasteList.add(tempTaste);
}
// Selection of the spinner

but on this line:
ShortBeerInfoAdapter<ShortBeerInfo> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<ShortBeerInfo>(c, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,tasteList );
I am getting shortbeerinfoadapter does not have type parameters
my short beer info adapter is:
public class ShortBeerInfoAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ShortBeerInfo> {
Context context;
int layoutResourceId;
List<ShortBeerInfo> data = null;
public ShortBeerInfoAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId, List<ShortBeerInfo> data) {
super(context, layoutResourceId, data);
this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId;
this.context = context;
this.data = data;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View row = convertView;
beerHolder holder = null;
if(row == null)
{
LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity)context).getLayoutInflater();
row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);
holder = new beerHolder();
holder.txtBeer = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.breweryName);
holder.txtRate = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.breweryRate);
holder.txtBar = (RatingBar) row.findViewById(R.id.starbar);
row.setTag(holder);
}
else
{
holder = (beerHolder)row.getTag();
}
ShortBeerInfo beer = data.get(position);
holder.txtBeer.setText(beer.beer);
holder.txtRate.setText(beer.rate + " out of 5.00 Stars");
holder.numHolder= Float.parseFloat(beer.rate);
holder.txtBar.setNumStars(5);
holder.txtBar.setRating(holder.numHolder);
return row;
}
static class beerHolder
{
TextView txtBeer;
TextView txtRate;
RatingBar txtBar;
Float numHolder;
}
}

You have your ShortBeerInfo, which includes the name and ID. You take the beer name, add it to a list of strings, then create the ArrayAdapter from that list. The ArrayAdapter only contains the names.
To get the ID you will need a custom array adapter of type ShortBeerInfo. You'll need to override OnCreateView in the adapter to create the View object for the list item that only contains the beer name. (Or any other beer info you may want to display)
Then in your selection listener getSelectedItem will return a ShortBeerInfo, containing the ID of the selected beer.

json array shows in logacat with no errors but does not show in android view

A large part of my app is grabbing data from a website. The data shows in my logcat, green with no errors but will not display in my android view. Ive tried and searched for a week or and have had no luck.
here is my class.

any help is greatly appreciated. I know I am doing something wrong with my listview as it also works as a straight java application run in eclipse.
here is the data i am grabbing, i am only taking two values at this time. "forumUser" and "score"

Why is this line
setListAdapter(adapter);
Before this
// selecting single ListView item
lv = getListView();
Also, the LogCat you posted is showing the results using the "info" filter only. Try looking at the verbose view to make sure no exceptions that you're missing.

what i did to solve this was pretty much start over. i added a JSONParser class
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONArray jarray = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
public JSONArray getJSONFromUrl(String url) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
try {
HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpGet);
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
int statusCode = statusLine.getStatusCode();
if (statusCode == 200) {
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream content = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(content));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(line);
}
} else {
Log.e("==>", "Failed to download file");
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jarray = new JSONArray( builder.toString());
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jarray;
