How to use Recylerview & Picasso to use api and fetch into list

How to use Recylerview & Picasso to use api and fetch into list

Android use of api and parsing into list

Hi, Lets start with dependencies.

Dependency:

Dependency/Gradle:

//recyclerview

implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.1.0'



//Image Library

implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828' 



//for calling api

 implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.0'

Add Permission in Manifest.xml

For api call we will need internet

Steps:

Add recycler view in activitymain.xml

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"tools:context=".MainActivity"><androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerViewandroid:id="@+id/recyclerview"android:layout_width="409dp"android:layout_height="729dp"app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Create item view : itemfeed.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:background="#FFFFFF"><androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_marginStart="4dp"android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"android:layout_marginTop="4dp"android:layout_marginEnd="4dp"android:layout_marginRight="4dp"android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"android:background="#F4EFEF"app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"><ImageViewandroid:id="@+id/profile"android:layout_width="60dp"android:layout_height="59dp"android:layout_marginStart="4dp"android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"android:layout_marginTop="16dp"app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"tools:srcCompat="@tools:sample/avatars" /><TextViewandroid:id="@+id/title"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_marginStart="24dp"android:layout_marginLeft="24dp"android:layout_marginTop="16dp"android:text="Title"android:textColor="#000000"android:textSize="24dp"app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/profile"app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /><TextViewandroid:id="@+id/status"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_marginStart="2dp"android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"android:layout_marginTop="24dp"android:layout_marginEnd="2dp"android:layout_marginRight="2dp"android:paddingLeft="4dp"android:paddingRight="4dp"android:text="lorem  posem lorem posemlorem  posem lorem posemlorem  pose                    posem"android:textSize="22dp"app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/profile" /><ImageViewandroid:id="@+id/image"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="200dp"android:layout_marginTop="8dp"app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/status"tools:srcCompat="@tools:sample/backgrounds/scenic" /><TextViewandroid:id="@+id/time"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_marginStart="28dp"android:layout_marginLeft="28dp"android:layout_marginTop="10dp"android:text="TextView"app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/profile"app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/title" /></androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Based On data Create Model class :

Here we have used api ,to parse so according to data it is the modelclass.java

package com.saurabhjadhav.quantsapp_task;



public class model_class {



​    private  String title;

​    private String profilepic;

​    private String image;

​    private  String status;

​    private  String  time;



​    public model_class(String title, String profilepic, String image, String status, String time) {

​        this.title = title;

​        this.profilepic = profilepic;

​        this.image = image;

​        this.status = status;

​        this.time = time;

​    }



​    public String getTitle() {

​        return title;

​    }



​    public void setTitle(String title) {

​        this.title = title;

​    }



​    public String getProfilepic() {

​        return profilepic;

​    }



​    public void setProfilepic(String profilepic) {

​        this.profilepic = profilepic;

​    }



​    public String getImage() {

​        return image;

​    }



​    public void setImage(String image) {

​        this.image = image;

​    }



​    public String getStatus() {

​        return status;

​    }



​    public void setStatus(String status) {

​        this.status = status;

​    }



​    public String getTime() {

​        return time;

​    }



​    public void setTime(String time) {

​        this.time = time;

​    }

}

Now Create Adapter class for recycler view:

Recycleradapter.java

package com.saurabhjadhav.quantsapp_task;



import android.content.Context;

import android.text.format.DateUtils;

import android.view.LayoutInflater;

import android.view.View;

import android.view.ViewGroup;

import android.widget.ImageView;

import android.widget.TextView;



import androidx.annotation.NonNull;

import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;



import com.squareup.picasso.Picasso;



import java.util.ArrayList;



public class recycler_adapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<recycler_adapter.recyclerviewHolder> {



​    private Context mcontext;

​    private ArrayList<model_class>  mmodelClassArrayList;



​    public  recycler_adapter(Context context,ArrayList<model_class> modelClassArrayList){

​        mcontext=context;

​        mmodelClassArrayList=modelClassArrayList;

​    }



​    @NonNull@Overridepublic recyclerviewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {



​        View v= LayoutInflater.from(mcontext).inflate(R.layout.item_feed,parent,false);

​        return new recyclerviewHolder(v);





​    }



​    @Overridepublic void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull recyclerviewHolder holder, int position) {

​            model_class currentitem=mmodelClassArrayList.get(position);

​            String title1=currentitem.getTitle();

​            String image1=currentitem.getImage();

​            String profile1=currentitem.getProfilepic();

​            String status1=currentitem.getStatus();



​            holder.status.setText(status1);

​            holder.title.setText(title1);



​        CharSequence timeAgo = DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(

​                Long.parseLong(currentitem.getTime()),

​                System.currentTimeMillis(), DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS);

​        holder.time2.setText(timeAgo);



​        Picasso.get().load(profile1).into(holder.profile2);

​        Picasso.get().load(image1).into(holder.Image2);



​    }



​    @Overridepublic int getItemCount() {

​        return mmodelClassArrayList.size();

​    }





​    public class  recyclerviewHolder extends  RecyclerView.ViewHolder{



​        public ImageView profile2,Image2;

​        public TextView title,status,time2;



​        public recyclerviewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {

​            super(itemView);

​            profile2=itemView.findViewById(R.id.profile);

​            Image2=itemView.findViewById(R.id.image);

​            title=itemView.findViewById(R.id.title);

​            status=itemView.findViewById(R.id.status);

​            time2=itemView.findViewById(R.id.time);

​        }

​    }

}

Now Open MainActivity.java

Declare variables and in On create Bind the adapter and recycler view:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {



​    private RecyclerView mrecyclerView;

​    private  recycler_adapter mrecycler_adapter;

​    private ArrayList<model_class> model_classArrayList;

​    private RequestQueue mrequestQueue;





​    @Overrideprotected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

​        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

​        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);



​            mrecyclerView=findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);

​            mrecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));

​            model_classArrayList=new ArrayList<>();

​            mrequestQueue= Volley.newRequestQueue(this);

​            parseJSON();//this is for parsing we will create it





​    }





}

Now define parseJSON where we will use Volley:

private  void parseJSON(){

​        String url="https://api.androidhive.info/feed/feed.json";



​        JsonObjectRequest request=new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, null,

​                new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {

​                    @Overridepublic void onResponse(JSONObject response) {

​                        try {

​                            JSONArray jsonArray=response.getJSONArray("feed");



​                            for (int i=0;i<jsonArray.length();i++)

​                            {

​                                JSONObject feed=jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);





​                                String title1=feed.getString("name");

​                                String image1=feed.getString("image");

​                                String profile1=feed.getString("profilePic");

​                                String status1=feed.getString("status");

​                                String time=feed.getString("timeStamp");

​                                model_classArrayList.add(new model_class(title1,profile1,image1,status1,time));

​                            }

​                            mrecycler_adapter=new recycler_adapter(MainActivity.this

​                            ,model_classArrayList);

​                            mrecyclerView.setAdapter(mrecycler_adapter);



​                        } catch (JSONException e) {

​                            e.printStackTrace();

​                        }



​                    }

​                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {

​            @Overridepublic void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

​                error.printStackTrace();

​            }

​        });

​        mrequestQueue.add(request);





​    }

}

Our work is done here !

Some Extra Snippets but helpful !

Add Onclicklistener to each item in View Holder:

holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(view -> {//just add oclick listener

​    Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, article_full_layout.class);

​    intent.putExtra("title",  ptitle);

​    intent.putExtra("image",  pImg);

​    intent.putExtra("post",  post);

​    mContext.startActivity(intent);

});
