I am making a news feed where I retrieve Facebook posts from a specific Facebook page. I retrieve those posts with help of the Facebook Graph API. I have a FeedItem which has an ID (int). The ID is also used to check which item is at the current position (Recyclerview).
The problem is that Facebook gives the posts a String ID. I have no idea how I can possibly convert this so that it will work with my application.
My Adapter:
public class FeedListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<FeedListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private ImageLoader imageLoader = AppController.getInstance().getImageLoader();
private List<FeedItem> mFeedItems;
private Context mContext;
public FeedListAdapter(List<FeedItem> pFeedItems, Context pContext) {
this.mFeedItems = pFeedItems;
this.mContext = pContext;
}
/* Create methods for further adapter use.*/
@Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(final ViewGroup parent, final int viewType) {
View feedView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.feed_item, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(feedView);
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.populateRow(getFeedItem(position));
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return mFeedItems.get(position).getId();
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mFeedItems.size();
}
private FeedItem getFeedItem(int position) {
return mFeedItems.get(position);
}
class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements OnClickListener {
private ImageView mProfilePic;
private TextView mName;
private TextView mTimestamp;
private TextView mTxtStatusMsg;
private FeedImageView mFeedImage;
//initialize the variables
ViewHolder(View view) {
super(view);
mProfilePic = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.feedProfilePic);
mName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.feedName);
mTimestamp = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.feedTimestamp);
mTxtStatusMsg = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.feedStatusMessage);
mFeedImage = (FeedImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.feedImage);
view.setOnClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
}
private void populateRow(FeedItem pFeedItem) {
getProfilePic(pFeedItem);
mName.setText(pFeedItem.getName());
mTimestamp.setText(pFeedItem.getTimeStamp());
mTxtStatusMsg.setText(pFeedItem.getStatus());
getStatusImg(pFeedItem);
}
private void getProfilePic(FeedItem pFeedItem) {
imageLoader.get(pFeedItem.getProfilePic(), new ImageListener() {
@Override
public void onResponse(ImageContainer response, boolean arg1) {
if (response.getBitmap() != null) {
// load image into imageview
mProfilePic.setImageBitmap(response.getBitmap());
}
}
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(final VolleyError pVolleyError) {
}
});
}
private void getStatusImg(FeedItem pFeedItem) {
if (pFeedItem.getImage() != null) {
mFeedImage.setImageUrl(pFeedItem.getImage(), imageLoader);
mFeedImage.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mFeedImage
.setResponseObserver(new FeedImageView.ResponseObserver() {
@Override
public void onError() {
}
@Override
public void onSuccess() {
}
});
} else {
mFeedImage.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
}
My FeedFragment:
public class FeedFragment extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment {
private static final String TAG = FeedFragment.class.getSimpleName();
private FeedListAdapter mListAdapter;
private List<FeedItem> mFeedItems;
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private String FACEBOOKURL = "**URL OF MY FB-POSTDATA**";
// newInstance constructor for creating fragment with arguments
public static FeedFragment newInstance() {
FeedFragment fragment = new FeedFragment();
return fragment;
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout resource file
View view = getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.fragment_feed, container, false);
initRecyclerView(view);
initCache();
return view;
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
private void initRecyclerView(View pView) {
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) pView.findViewById(R.id.fragment_feed_recyclerview);
LayoutManager mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(false);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
mRecyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);
}
mFeedItems = new ArrayList<>();
mListAdapter = new FeedListAdapter(mFeedItems, getActivity());
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mListAdapter);
}
private void initCache() {
// We first check for cached request
Cache cache = AppController.getInstance().getRequestQueue().getCache();
Entry entry = cache.get(FACEBOOKURL);
if (entry != null) {
// fetch the data from cache
try {
String data = new String(entry.data, "UTF-8");
try {
parseJsonFeed(new JSONObject(data));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
// making fresh volley request and getting json
JsonObjectRequest jsonReq = new JsonObjectRequest(Method.GET,
FACEBOOKURL, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
VolleyLog.d(TAG, "Response: " + response.toString());
if (response != null) {
parseJsonFeed(response);
}
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
VolleyLog.d(TAG, "Error: " + error.getMessage());
}
});
// Adding request to volley request queue
AppController.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(jsonReq);
}
}
private void parseJsonFeed(JSONObject response) {
try {
JSONArray feedArray = response.getJSONArray("data");
for (int i = 0; i < feedArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject feedObj = (JSONObject) feedArray.get(i);
FeedItem item = new FeedItem();
item.setId(Integer.parseInt(feedObj.getString("id")));
item.setName("name of page");
// Image might be null sometimes
String image = feedObj.isNull("full_picture") ? null : feedObj
.getString("full_picture");
item.setImage(image);
// Status message might be null sometimes
String status = feedObj.isNull("message") ? null : feedObj
.getString("message");
item.setStatus(status);
item.setProfilePic("**profile picture url**");
item.setTimeStamp(feedObj.getString("created_time"));
mFeedItems.add(item);
}
// notify data changes to list adapter
mListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} }
As I said; I have no idea how to handle this and I figured someone here would maybe have an idea on how to convert this, so that I can use the String that the graph api gives me, and use it as an integer.

If the id is all numeric, you should be able to do this:
int id = Integer.valueOf(facebookId)
If you have an undescore you can try this:
If the value is numeric and you want an integer object, do
If you want the primitive type int, then do
or
