Hi Guys,
I have implemented a timer that parses a URL every 15min (the Timer task). An Object called ParsedExampleDataSet gets that data .
Now , whenever i try to retrieve that Object or a String=Object.toString() out of the runnable I get null pointer exception and fatal errors .
How Can i retrieve it ?Is there another implementation that i could try ? Why does getBaseContext() not work inside the runnable ?
Thanks a Lot
here is most of my code where i have a problem i also added two comments where my problem occurs
:)
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle)
final TextView tv = new TextView(this);
TimerTask scanTask;
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Timer t = new Timer();
scanTask = new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL("http://www.eurosport.fr/");
} catch (MalformedURLException e3) {
e3.printStackTrace();

/* Get a SAXParser from the SAXPArserFactory. */

try {

xr = sp.getXMLReader();

xr.setContentHandler(myExampleHandler);
/* Parse the xml-data from our URL. */
try {
xr.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
/* Parsing has finished. */
/* Our ExampleHandler now provides the parsed data to us. */
ParsedExampleDataSet parsedExampleDataSet =
myExampleHandler.getParsedData();
System.out.println(parsedExampleDataSet.toString());
tv.setText(parsedExampleDataSet.toString());
Context context = this.getBaseContext();
// I dont understand why inside the runnable getBaseContext() does not exist ???
Bitmap mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
R.raw.nature1)
context.setWallpaper(mBitmap);
}
});
} };
// I want to retrieve ParsedExampleDataSEt here in order to use it is it Possible ????
this.setContentView(tv);
long temps=1*15*1000;
t.scheduleAtFixedRate(scanTask, 300,temps );
