Referencing TextViews from Activity in Service and Vice versa

I am working on an Android app with a steadily growing Code basis; the aim of the app is to scan and process QR Codes and Barcodes on Handheld Devices for Storages (not Smartphones). It hast two Activities that contain major parts of the programmatical logic; hence, I want to store major parts of the Code that contains the Functionality for processing the Scanner input in an external Service, called Scanner Service, implement the methods there and use the methods in other Activites;
however, I have a major issue with the use of Context, getApplicationContext() and the reference of the Activity in the Service and vice versa; although I think I have referenced and initialised the Textviews from the Activity in the Service, the app keeps on crashing with the following error message:
AndroidRuntime: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.View android.app.Activity.findViewById(int)' on a null object reference
at com.xxxx.ScanService.<clinit>(ScanService.java:16)
I know what it means, but I don´t know how I could access the View
private static TextView content = (TextView) a.findViewById(R.id.content_detail);
in such a way that I can use it in the Service and in the Activity and the app stops crashing.
Therefore, any hints or help would be very much appreciated, thank you in advance.

You cannot access any Views from a Service! Views belong to the Activity. This is the wrong application architecture. A Service performs background processing (file I/O, network I/O, computation, etc.). The Activity is responsible for interacting with the user (inputs, display, etc.). If your Service wants to put data on the screen, you've broken the division of responsibilities. Your Service should simply notify your Activity (or any other component that is interested) when data has changed, and the Activity can then update the View itself. You can share data between the Service and your other components in a number of ways, including: event bus, publish/subscribe, shared preferences, broadcast Intents, SQLite database, etc.

Activity Reloads with Previous Selected Data Bug

So i developed an android news app. A spinner item is available on the toolbar and data reloads according to spinner selection. However, when the data reloads, for some of the items, it directly loads the relevant content but for some others, it loads the previously selected spinner data. Current data for the current item only shows after reloading same spinner data using the swipe refresh functionality which i had implemented. I want the correct data relevant to that selection to load the first time itself without having to refresh all the time.
Below is my MainActivity where all these functions are called.

I discovered that from API level 3, one can use the onUserInteraction() on an Activity with a boolean value thereby determining the user's interaction.
Find the documentation in the link below.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onUserInteraction()
#Override
public void onUserInteraction() {
super.onUserInteraction();
userInteracts = true;
}
The my adjustment goes as thus in the MainActivity.java
mySpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
int check = 0;
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
if (IsInteracting) {
Intent intent = getIntent(); //MainActivity
String itemSelected = mySpinner.getItemAtPosition(mySpinner.getSelectedItemPosition()).toString();
//TODO: DONE
prefManager.spinWriteString(itemSelected);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Constituency News Now Showing", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
}

Reload Data on Spinner itemSelected

I guess i'm implementing the spinner onItemSelected inappropriately.
So i have spinner values loaded from my database. I'm trying to load data according to the spinner selected but the spinner doesn't persist and the id doesn't pass to the activity. It loads a default id of 1 instead of the selected spinner id. So i'm not sure if the spinner id is being passed. How do i check these and correct them?

Here is the problem (On Spinner Item selection)
Intent intent = getIntent();
startActivity(intent);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), mySpinner.getItemAtPosition(mySpinner.getSelectedItemPosition()).toString() + " Showing", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
finish();
**You are starting current activity as new and finish current activity, it means when you select any of items from spinner it will start a new activity and your on create executed again and again, so please place other logic or you can send your values in your activity using intent.putextra() and check in oncreate for null and if values is not null you can set spinner.setSelected(Your Position). For Fragment You can use
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.detach(ComingSoonFragment.this).attach(ComingSoonFragment.this).commit();
for refresh your fragment and pass your data with bundle and check for null if your bundle is null then use your code for defalt and if not null then set your data according to your id.
**
Thanks

In your spinner inside OnItemSelectedListener use parent.getItemAtPosition(position) to get the correct value
mySpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(),
"OnItemSelectedListener : " + parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//Do your staff here
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
}
});

AdMob Interstitial not loading

I have a problem with admob ads.
The banner ad seems to work fine but the Interstitial is not loading.
I have tried various solutions, generating different ad unit id's and trying admob test ids.

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_quotes, menu);

// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.

The simplest answer is that mode is not equal to "qteday"
if(mode.equals("qteday")){
Unless that is true, the interstitial will never be loaded.

converting class into interface

please help me about that how i can convert my class into interface so other classes can use main menu . or let me know if there is easy way to call the same menu in the main class except extends bcz there are classes which already are extending other classes. here is the sample code
package com.droidnova.android.howto.optionmenu;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class ControlMenu extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
#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.settings:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ShowSettings.class);
startActivity(intent);
break;
case R.id.services:
Intent intent2 = new Intent(this, Test.class);
startActivity(intent2);
break;
case R.id.Quit:
finish();
break;
default:
break;
}
return true;
}
}
i want to call these menus into other classes (one of them are listed below) so that option menu is available on every activity without using extends.
public class Test extends ListActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.listplaceholder);
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> mylist = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
JSONObject json = JSONfunctions.getJSONfromURL("http://midsweden.gofreeserve.com/fetch.php");
try{
JSONArray earthquakes = json.getJSONArray("earthquakes");
for(int i=0;i<earthquakes.length();i++){
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
JSONObject e = earthquakes.getJSONObject(i);
map.put("id", String.valueOf(i));
map.put("name", "Earthquake name:" + e.getString("name"));
map.put("password", "Magnitude: " + e.getString("password"));
mylist.add(map);
}
}catch(JSONException e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
}
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, mylist , R.layout.test,
new String[] { "name", "magnitude" },
new int[] { R.id.item_title, R.id.item_subtitle });
setListAdapter(adapter);
final ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
HashMap<String, String> o = (HashMap<String, String>) lv.getItemAtPosition(position);
Toast.makeText(Test.this, "ID '" + o.get("id") + "' was clicked.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}
now i am following this way
package com.droidnova.android.howto.optionmenu;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.content.Intent;
public class MenuHandler extends Activity{
private Activity activity;
public MenuHandler(Activity activity) {
this.activity = activity;
}
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = activity.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.settings:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ShowSettings.class);
startActivity(intent);
break;
case R.id.services:
Intent intent2 = new Intent(this, Test.class);
startActivity(intent2);
break;
case R.id.Quit:
finish();
break;
default:
break;
}
return true;
}
}
and Test class is
package com.droidnova.android.howto.optionmenu;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Test extends ListActivity {
private MenuHandler menuHandler;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.listplaceholder);
menuHandler = new MenuHandler(this);
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> mylist = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
JSONObject json = JSONfunctions.getJSONfromURL("http://midsweden.gofreeserve.com/fetch.php");
try{
JSONArray earthquakes = json.getJSONArray("earthquakes");
for(int i=0;i<earthquakes.length();i++){
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
JSONObject e = earthquakes.getJSONObject(i);
map.put("id", String.valueOf(i));
map.put("name", "Earthquake name:" + e.getString("name"));
map.put("password", "Magnitude: " + e.getString("password"));
mylist.add(map);
}
}catch(JSONException e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
}
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, mylist , R.layout.test,
new String[] { "name", "magnitude" },
new int[] { R.id.item_title, R.id.item_subtitle });
setListAdapter(adapter);
final ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
HashMap<String, String> o = (HashMap<String, String>) lv.getItemAtPosition(position);
Toast.makeText(Test.this, "ID '" + o.get("id") + "' was clicked.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
return menuHandler.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
return menuHandler.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
menu are perfectly appearing on the screen but when i am clicking on any menu it "Force to stop" pops up
Now i am able to get logat errors Here they are

What I would do is create a special class to handle menu creation and events and delegate everythng to it. The code will look like this:
public class MenuHandler {
private Activity activity;
public MenuHandler(Activity activity) {
this.activity = activity;
}
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = activity.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
//Handle events here
}
}
Then when you need to have a menu in your Activity, you create MenuHandler and delegate method calls to it:
public MyActivity extends Activity {
private MenuHandler menuHandler;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
menuHandler = new MenuHandler(this);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
return menuHandler.onCreateOprionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
return menuHandler.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

An interface does not have an implementation, so I don't think that will do what you want.
What you can do is make an activity that extends your ControlMenu. It will be an Activity (because controlmenu itself extends activity), and it will be able to use the code you have provided here. It will look something like
public class yourActivity extends ControlMenu{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //oncreate of controlmenu
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
RelativeLayout ll = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.main);
ListView lv = (ListView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourlistview, ll, false);
ll.addView(lv);
lv.setAdapter(new YourAdapter(this));
}
}
and you'll have an adapter that goes like (quick mock-up)
public abstract class YourAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
final public int getCount() {}
final public Object getItem(int position) {}
final public long getItemId(int position) {}
final public void onItemClick() {}
}
