I would recommend overriding the onResume() method in activity number 1, and in there include code to refresh your array adapter, this is done by using [yourListViewAdapater].notifyDataSetChanged();
If not handling a callback from the editing activity (with onActivityResult), then I'd rather put the logic you mentioned in onStart (or possibly in onRestart), since having it in onResume just seems like overkill, given that changes are only occurring after onStop.
At any rate, be familiar with the Activity lifecycle. Plus, take note of the onRestoreInstanceState and onSaveInstanceState methods, which do not appear in the pretty lifecycle diagram.
(Also, it's worth reviewing how the Notepad Tutorial handles what you're doing, though it does use a database.)
@Override
public void onRestart() {
super.onRestart();
//When BACK BUTTON is pressed, the activity on the stack is restarted
//Do what you want on the refresh procedure here
}
You could code what you want to do when the Activity is restarted (called again from the event 'back button pressed') inside onRestart().
For example, if you want to do the same thing you do in onCreate(), paste the code in onRestart() (eg. reconstructing the UI with the updated values).
private Cursor getAllFavorites() {
return mDb.query(DocsDsctnContract.DocsDsctnEntry.Description_Table_Name,
null,
null,
null,
null,
null,
DocsDsctnContract.DocsDsctnEntry.COLUMN_Timest);
}
@Override
public void onResume()
{ // After a pause OR at startup
super.onResume();
mAdapter.swapCursor(getAllFavorites());
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public void swapCursor(Cursor newCursor){
if (mCursor!=null) mCursor.close();
mCursor = newCursor;
if (newCursor != null){
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
I just have favorites category so when i click to the item from favorites there appear such information and if i unlike it - this item should be deleted from Favorites : for that i refresh database and set it to adapter(for recyclerview)[I wish you will understand my problem & solution]
public void refreshActivity() {
Intent i = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
or in Fragment
public void refreshActivity() {
Intent i = new Intent(getActivity(), MainActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
And Add this method to your onBackPressed() like
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
refreshActivity();
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
