Android GridView Adapter using ArrayList

Question

I'm stuck creating an Adapter for my Griview that accepts an ArrayList. I think the bad line in the Adapter class is: viewHldr.wcbc_image_iv.setImageResource(urlStrArrList.get(position)); and it appears that the call .setImageResource is the problem.

public class JGrid66 extends Activity {

JSONObject jsonOb;
JSONArray JSArrGallery = null;;
GridView grid65_gv;
JGrid66Adapter2 jGr7Adap;
ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;
ArrayList<String> idStrArrList = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayList<String> urlStrArrList = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayList<String> descrStrArrList = new ArrayList<String>();

 // JSON Node names
private static final String TAG_GALLERY = "gallery";
private static final String TAG_GALLERYURL = "galleryurl";
private static final String TAG_ID = "id";
private static final String TAG_GALLERYDESCR = "gallerydescr";

static String FLAG = "flag";

private String jsonUrl = "http://www.mysite.com/apps/wcbc/galleryuil.txt";

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.jgrid66);
    grid65_gv = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.jgrid66_gv);   



}//--- END onCreate

//--- DownloadJSON Class
private class DownloadJSON extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        JGrid4Adapter jParser = new JGrid4Adapter();
        // getting JSON string from URL
        JSONObject jsonOb = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(jsonUrl);            
        try {
            JSArrGallery = jsonOb.getJSONArray(TAG_GALLERY);
            // looping through All gallery images
            for (int i = 0; i < JSArrGallery.length(); i++) {
                JSONObject galleryJO = JSArrGallery.getJSONObject(i);
                String idStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_ID);
                String urlStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_GALLERYURL);
                String descrStr = galleryJO.getString(TAG_GALLERYDESCR);

                idStrArrList.add(idStr);
                urlStrArrList.add(urlStr);
                descrStrArrList.add(descrStr);


            }// -- END for loop
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }// --- END Try
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void args) {
        jGr7Adap = new JGrid66Adapter2(JGrid66.this, urlStrArrList);
        grid65_gv.setAdapter(jGr7Adap);
        jGr7Adap.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

}

//--- END DownloadJSON Class
}

Here;s the Adapter:

public class JGrid66Adapter2 extends BaseAdapter {  
private ArrayList<String> urlStrArrList;
Context context;

public JGrid66Adapter2(Context context,ArrayList<String> urlStrArrList) {
    super();
    this.urlStrArrList = urlStrArrList;
    }


@Override
public int getCount() {
    return urlStrArrList.size();
}

@Override
    public String getItem(int position) {
    return urlStrArrList.get(position);
    }

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return 0;
}

    public static class ViewHolder
    {
    public ImageView wcbc_image_iv;
    }

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    ViewHolder viewHldr;
    LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) context).getLayoutInflater();

    if(convertView==null){
        viewHldr = new ViewHolder();
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.jgrid66_item, null);
        viewHldr.wcbc_image_iv = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById   (R.id.jgrid66_iv);
        convertView.setTag(viewHldr);
    }
    else
    {
        viewHldr = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
    }
    //--- I commented this out because this is where it breaks.
    //viewHldr.wcbc_image_iv.setImageResource(urlStrArrList.get(position));
    return convertView;
}

}

Any help would be great!

you need to download the image from url and then set it to imageview — Raghunandan, Jan 07 '14 at 17:26

private ArrayList<String> urlStrArrList;

is arraylist of strings. If you have the url you need to download the images and then set it to imageview.

setImageResource takes a resource id as a param which is an int value.

public void setImageResource (int resId)

Added in API level 1
Sets a drawable as the content of this ImageView.

You may consider using Lazy Loading Universal Image Loader or using picasso

Caching images and displaying

Thank you Raghunandan. What I'm really trying to do is modify Universal Image Loader so that it accepts my ArrayList, so I think you've put me on the correct path. I'm trying to get the above activity to work and then apply it to Universal Image Loader. – kirktoon1882 Jan 07 '14 at 17:51
@kirktoon1882 so what is that is not working? Activity has nothing to do with your error. Pls check the implementation of UIL in the link posted in my post. – Raghunandan Jan 07 '14 at 17:58
