I have a fragment that makes an asynchronous call, assigns to an object variable(which took me a while to figure out) and then by clicking on a button it loads cardviews through adapters into the screen.
The code that I am using is:
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragments_stops_list, container, false);
ButterKnife.bind(this, view); // since this is a fragment the butterknife bind method should goafter the view declaration
// saved state would indicate that we are now not capable of making multiple requests. This point has been
// properly taken care of and now I can purposely move on to other things of more importance
loadButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.LOAD);
if(savedInstanceState == null) {
loadButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Log.d(">==========<", extractCreate.getCreateR().getPhone());
Parcelable[] parcelable = extractCreate.getStopsR();
commodities = Arrays.copyOf(parcelable, parcelable.length, Stops[].class);
//Log.d("Commodities size check", String.valueOf(commodities.length));
StopsAdapter adapter = new StopsAdapter(commodities);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity()); // sketchy on this part
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
Log.d(TAG, "This is being called from the onCreate method");
}
});
}
return view;
}
The thing is, if I try to rotate the screen then the contents disappear and to make them appear again one has to click the button (of id.LOAD), I added a statement to check if the saveInstance state is null, that solution did not work as now when I turn the screen the cardviews that I load through the adapter disappear and there is no possibility of loading them again.
Ho can I preserve the state? I read about overriding the onViewStateRestored method but the idea does not seem promising since the contents need to be handled inside of a click listener.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
As requested, this is the code of the .
