/Desired Effect/

Blockquote

I would like to pull data from the json file that the url points to and change the TextView within the UI called textView. I don't understand how to access the findviewbyid within the AsyncTask. I've looked all throughout the internet and couldn't find anything :( Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

try weak reference to get textview in asynctask

//call async task

new JSONTask(yourTextView).execute();

//in your async task

  private final WeakReference<TextView> textViewReference;

    public JSONTask (TextView textView){
         textViewReference = new WeakReference<TextView>( textView);
    }


    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute() {


            TextView textView = textViewReference.get();
            //set values to text view

    }

Answer 2

I'm using OkHttp to do the same task in my apps

HTTP/2 support allows all requests to the same host to share a socket.
Connection pooling reduces request latency (if HTTP/2 isn’t available).
Transparent GZIP shrinks download sizes.
Response caching avoids the network completely for repeat requests.

Add this dependency

implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.9.1'

Then create/code a new Class named OkHttpHandler

class OkHttpHandler extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

        OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
        private volatile String data;

        public String getResult() {
            return data;
        }

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

            try {
                Request.Builder builder = new Request.Builder();
                builder.url(params[0]);
                Request request = builder.build();

                Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
                return response.body().string();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
            super.onPostExecute(s);
            data = s;
        }
    }
}

and use it like this way

String str = new OkHttpHandler().execute("http://www.<TEST>.com/json").get();

I also suggest to check whether Wi-fi-Connected/Bluetooth-Connected or PhoneData-Enabled is false if true/else, Proceed to your code

I would like to effect the TextView from the json data I get from httpurlconnection
