I am creating an android application and my code will loop through the json data and if finds a match to the string that i have placed in ( in this case "Guil Hernandez") , then it will add that name to an array list of hashmaps. I then populate my listview with a simple adapter. Everything is working properly, but my listview will not appear. Am i doing this sorting "algorithm" wrong? Also if you know of a better way to do the sorting to find a match..PLEASE LET ME KNOW. i am still new to this. Thank you in advance!
private void handleResponse() {
if (mNameDataJson == null ) {
// TODO: handle error
} else {
try {
JSONArray namesArray = mNameDataJson.getJSONArray("posts");
ArrayList<HashMap<String , String> > nameArrayList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
for ( int i = 0 ; i < namesArray.length() ; i++ ) {
JSONObject unit = namesArray.getJSONObject(i);
String name = unit.getString(KEY_NAME);
name = Html.fromHtml(name).toString();
String title = unit.getString(KEY_TITLE);
title = Html.fromHtml(title).toString();
HashMap<String , String> hashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
if (name == "Guil Hernandez") {
hashMap.put(KEY_NAME, name);
hashMap.put(KEY_TITLE, title);
nameArrayList.add(hashMap);
} else {
Log.v(TAG , "no match");
}
}
String[] keys = { KEY_NAME , KEY_TITLE };
int[] ids = {android.R.id.text1 , android.R.id.text2};
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(MyActivity.this , nameArrayList , android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2,
keys , ids);
setListAdapter(adapter);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
