I have a custom ListView adapter that implements the ImageThreadLoader class. Unfortunately, the class does not include the cache parameter - it downloads images from the Internet and saves them as a cache.
And so I found this LazyList or really useful here , it behaves in exactly the same way as my ImageThreadLoader class, but it is able to save images as a cache. So, I want to implement my ImageLoader class for my current ListView adapter.
Unfortunately, the structure of my codes and Lazylist is completely different, which leads to some conflicts in my attempts. For example, LazyList uses an array of strings for the image URL, on the other hand, I use JSON as the source of the image URL.
That's why I need help here to adapt my ListView adapter to this ImageLoader class.
Here are the codes:
ImageLoader Class, which I want to implement for my ListView adapter:
public class ImageLoader { //the simplest in-memory cache implementation. This should be replaced with something like SoftReference or BitmapOptions.inPurgeable(since 1.6) private HashMap<String, Bitmap> cache=new HashMap<String, Bitmap>(); private File cacheDir; public ImageLoader(Context context){ //Make the background thead low priority. This way it will not affect the UI performance photoLoaderThread.setPriority(Thread.NORM_PRIORITY-1); //Find the dir to save cached images if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) cacheDir=new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"Android/data/LazyList"); else cacheDir=context.getCacheDir(); if(!cacheDir.exists()) cacheDir.mkdirs(); } final int stub_id=R.drawable.stub; public void DisplayImage(String url, Activity activity, ImageView imageView) { if(cache.containsKey(url)) imageView.setImageBitmap(cache.get(url)); else { queuePhoto(url, activity, imageView); imageView.setImageResource(stub_id); } } private void queuePhoto(String url, Activity activity, ImageView imageView) { //This ImageView may be used for other images before. So there may be some old tasks in the queue. We need to discard them. photosQueue.Clean(imageView); PhotoToLoad p=new PhotoToLoad(url, imageView); synchronized(photosQueue.photosToLoad){ photosQueue.photosToLoad.push(p); photosQueue.photosToLoad.notifyAll(); } //start thread if it not started yet if(photoLoaderThread.getState()==Thread.State.NEW) photoLoaderThread.start(); } private Bitmap getBitmap(String url) { //I identify images by hashcode. Not a perfect solution, good for the demo. String filename=String.valueOf(url.hashCode()); File f=new File(cacheDir, filename); //from SD cache Bitmap b = decodeFile(f); if(b!=null) return b; //from web try { Bitmap bitmap=null; InputStream is=new URL(url).openStream(); OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(f); Utils.CopyStream(is, os); os.close(); bitmap = decodeFile(f); return bitmap; } catch (Exception ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); return null; } } //decodes image and scales it to reduce memory consumption private Bitmap decodeFile(File f){ try { //decode image size BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options(); o.inJustDecodeBounds = true; BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f),null,o); //Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2. final int REQUIRED_SIZE=70; int width_tmp=o.outWidth, height_tmp=o.outHeight; int scale=1; while(true){ if(width_tmp/2<REQUIRED_SIZE || height_tmp/2<REQUIRED_SIZE) break; width_tmp/=2; height_tmp/=2; scale*=2; } //decode with inSampleSize BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options(); o2.inSampleSize=scale; return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o2); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {} return null; } //Task for the queue private class PhotoToLoad { public String url; public ImageView imageView; public PhotoToLoad(String u, ImageView i){ url=u; imageView=i; } } PhotosQueue photosQueue=new PhotosQueue(); public void stopThread() { photoLoaderThread.interrupt(); } //stores list of photos to download class PhotosQueue { private Stack<PhotoToLoad> photosToLoad=new Stack<PhotoToLoad>(); //removes all instances of this ImageView public void Clean(ImageView image) { for(int j=0 ;j<photosToLoad.size();){ if(photosToLoad.get(j).imageView==image) photosToLoad.remove(j); else ++j; } } } class PhotosLoader extends Thread { public void run() { try { while(true) { //thread waits until there are any images to load in the queue if(photosQueue.photosToLoad.size()==0) synchronized(photosQueue.photosToLoad){ photosQueue.photosToLoad.wait(); } if(photosQueue.photosToLoad.size()!=0) { PhotoToLoad photoToLoad; synchronized(photosQueue.photosToLoad){ photoToLoad=photosQueue.photosToLoad.pop(); } Bitmap bmp=getBitmap(photoToLoad.url); cache.put(photoToLoad.url, bmp); Object tag=photoToLoad.imageView.getTag(); if(tag!=null && ((String)tag).equals(photoToLoad.url)){ BitmapDisplayer bd=new BitmapDisplayer(bmp, photoToLoad.imageView); Activity a=(Activity)photoToLoad.imageView.getContext(); a.runOnUiThread(bd); } } if(Thread.interrupted()) break; } } catch (InterruptedException e) { //allow thread to exit } } } PhotosLoader photoLoaderThread=new PhotosLoader(); //Used to display bitmap in the UI thread class BitmapDisplayer implements Runnable { Bitmap bitmap; ImageView imageView; public BitmapDisplayer(Bitmap b, ImageView i){bitmap=b;imageView=i;} public void run() { if(bitmap!=null) imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap); else imageView.setImageResource(stub_id); } } public void clearCache() { //clear memory cache cache.clear(); //clear SD cache File[] files=cacheDir.listFiles(); for(File f:files) f.delete(); } }
custom list adapter in the LazyList project:
public class LazyAdapter extends BaseAdapter { private Activity activity; private String[] data; private static LayoutInflater inflater=null; public ImageLoader imageLoader; public LazyAdapter(Activity a, String[] d) { activity = a; data=d; inflater = (LayoutInflater)activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); imageLoader=new ImageLoader(activity.getApplicationContext()); } public int getCount() { return data.length; } public Object getItem(int position) { return position; } public long getItemId(int position) { return position; } public static class ViewHolder{ public TextView text; public ImageView image; } public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View vi=convertView; ViewHolder holder; if(convertView==null){ vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item, null); holder=new ViewHolder(); holder.text=(TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.text);; holder.image=(ImageView)vi.findViewById(R.id.image); vi.setTag(holder); } else holder=(ViewHolder)vi.getTag(); holder.text.setText("item "+position); holder.image.setTag(data[position]); imageLoader.DisplayImage(data[position], activity, holder.image); return vi; } }
, and here is my custom ListView adapter: ProjectAdapter class
public class ProjectAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Project> { int resource; String response; Context context; private final static String TAG = "MediaItemAdapter"; private ImageThreadLoader imageLoader = new ImageThreadLoader();
Many thanks!
EDIT
UPDATED: ProjectList Activity
public class ProjectsList extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ //ListView that will hold our items references back to main.xml ListView lstTest; //Array Adapter that will hold our ArrayList and display the items on the ListView ProjectAdapter arrayAdapter; ProgressDialog dialog; //List that will host our items and allow us to modify that array adapter ArrayList<Project> prjcts=null; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.projects_list); //Initialize ListView lstTest= (ListView)findViewById(R.id.lstText); //Initialize our ArrayList prjcts = new ArrayList<Project>(); //Initialize our array adapter notice how it references the listitems.xml layout arrayAdapter = new ProjectAdapter(ProjectsList.this, R.layout.listitems,prjcts,ProjectsList.this); //Set the above adapter as the adapter of choice for our list lstTest.setAdapter(arrayAdapter); if (isOnline()) { //Instantiate the Web Service Class with he URL of the web service not that you must pass //WebService webService = new WebService("http://notalentrocks.com/myplaceapp/projects.json"); WebService webService = new WebService("http://liebenwald.spendino.net/admanager/dev/android/projects.json"); //Pass the parameters if needed , if not then pass dummy one as follows Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>(); params.put("var", ""); //Get JSON response from server the "" are where the method name would normally go if needed example // webService.webGet("getMoreAllerts", params); String response = webService.webGet("", params); try { dialog = ProgressDialog.show(ProjectsList.this, "", "Fetching Projects...", true); dialog.setCancelable(true); dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true); dialog.setOnCancelListener(new OnCancelListener() { public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) { } }); //Parse Response into our object Type collectionType = new TypeToken<ArrayList<Project>>(){}.getType(); //JSON expects an list so can't use our ArrayList from the lstart List<Project> lst= new Gson().fromJson(response, collectionType); //Now that we have that list lets add it to the ArrayList which will hold our items. for(Project l : lst) { prjcts.add(l); ConstantData.projectsList.add(l); } //Since we've modified the arrayList we now need to notify the adapter that //its data has changed so that it updates the UI arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); dialog.dismiss(); } catch(Exception e) { Log.d("Error: ", e.getMessage()); } } lstTest.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { Intent care = new Intent(ProjectsList.this, ProjectDetail.class); care.putExtra("spendino.de.ProjectDetail.position",position); startActivity(care); } }); } protected boolean isOnline() { ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo(); if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnected()) { return true; } else { AlertDialog.Builder alertbox = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); alertbox.setTitle("spendino Helfomat"); alertbox.setMessage ("Please check your internet connection"); alertbox.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { //Main.this.finish(); } }); alertbox.show(); return false; } } }
