Kotlin, receiving data from php api too late. Need to press my button twice before data is received-CodePudding

I need to press the "loginbutton" twice, before I am receiving any data. The first time I press the button, I am receiving data: "null". The second time, I am receiving the necessary data for my login. The question is: "How can I receive my data by the first clickevent?"

XML:

        android:id="@ id/login_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="30dp"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:text="@string/login_login"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"/>

CodePudding user response：

Your login method is asnychronous, the method will return immediately even if the coroutine is still running (giving null data since it hasn't had time to complete).

Method 1 - Callback

One way of handling this would be to pass in a callback like this

fun login(email: String, password: String, onComplete: ()->Unit) {
    viewModelScope.launch {
        //do slow/network/suspending stuff
        onComplete()
    }
}

then call it like this

viewModel.login(
    binding.loginEmailEditText.text.toString(),
    sha256(binding.loginPasswordEditText.text.toString())
) {
    // the code in here is your "onComplete" callback, and won't run
    // until the login task is done
    if (viewModel.doorgaan.value == true) {
        listIntent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
        startActivity(listIntent)
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, viewModel.id.value.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        binding.loginPasswordEditText.text?.clear()
    }
}

Method 2 - Observe the LiveData (better)

Alternately, you could have your activity observe the doorgaan LiveData and respond when it changes, which would also cause the program to wait appropriately until it had data there (just make sure you always set a value to the data inside _login, the current code does not set a value in some cases).

// add this inside onCreate, and remove these calls from launchMain
viewModel.doorgaan.observe(this) { value ->
    if (value == true) {
        listIntent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
        startActivity(listIntent)
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, viewModel.id.value.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        binding.loginPasswordEditText.text?.clear()
    }
}

To make sure something always gets posted, you could do something like this inside _login

var auth = false
if (jsonObject.length() > 0) {
    val stringArray = jsonObject.getString("data")
    val jsonArray = JSONArray(stringArray)
    for (i in 0 until jsonArray.length()) {
        _id.value = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getInt("accountid")
    }
    auth = _id.value != null
}
_doorgaan.postValue(auth)
