question:Q:.IllegalStateException: The content of the adapter has changed but ListView did not receive a notification android I am using AyncTask to get data from server and set it to listview. For notifying the changes to the listview I am calling mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); in onPostExecute() method I am using Pull to refresh listview library Still I am getting IllegalStateException listView.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() { @Override public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) { } @Override public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) { int count = Integer.parseInt(index_temp)+6; System.out.println(Checking + listView.getLastVisiblePosition()); System.out.println(----->Checking loadmore:+ load_more); System.out.println(----->Checking actual:+ count); if (listView.getLastVisiblePosition()+1 == count) { if(load_more==1){ index_temp = String.valueOf(Integer.parseInt(icount) + Integer.parseInt(index_temp)); new GetList_ontouch().execute(index_temp); } } } }); GetList_ontouch private class GetList_ontouch extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> { @Override protected void onPreExecute() { super.onPreExecute(); progressBar1.setVisibility(0); } @Override protected Void doInBackground(String... params) { if (NetworkCheck.isNetworkAvailable(getActivity()) == true) { Log.d(index count for array, params[0]); if(Integer.parseInt(params[0])==0){ Log.d(index count for array,Reached); newsList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>(); } // Creating service handler class instance ServiceHandler sh = new ServiceHandler(); // Making a request to url and getting response String jsonStr = sh.makeServiceCall(All_link.HOME_DATA_URL + /+params[0]+/+ icount, ServiceHandler.GET); Log.d(Response: , > + jsonStr); if (jsonStr!= null) { try { JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr); // Getting JSON Array node news = jsonObj.getJSONArray(All_link.TAG_NEWS); String err = jsonObj.getString(All_link.TAG_ERROR); String more = jsonObj.getString(All_link.TAG_MORE); Log.e(------>Error,String.valueOf(err)); Log.e(------>More,String.valueOf(more)); if(more.equals(0)){ load_more = 0; }else{ load_more = 1; } // looping through All Contacts for (int i = 0; i < news.length(); i++) { JSONObject segments_list = news.getJSONObject(i); for (int plates_count = 0; plates_count < segments_list .length(); plates_count++) { String plates = ; if (plates_count == 3) { plates = String.valueOf(banner_image); JSONObject segments_plates = segments_list .getJSONObject(plates); //String flag = banner_image; String id = segments_plates .getString(All_link.TAG_BANNER_ID); String banner_no = segments_plates .getString(All_link.TAG_BANNER_NO); String banner_image; if(segments_plates.getString(All_link.TAG_BANNER_THUMB_URL)==){ banner_image = All_link.TAG_NO_IMAGE; }else{ banner_image = segments_plates.getString(All_link.TAG_BANNER_THUMB_URL); } String banner_status = segments_plates .getString(All_link.TAG_BANNER_STATUS); // tmp hashmap for single news HashMap<String, String> news_hashmap = new HashMap<String, String>(); // adding each child node to HashMap key => // value news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_BANNER_ID, id); news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_BANNER_NO, banner_no); news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_BANNER_THUMB_URL, banner_image); news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_BANNER_STATUS, banner_status); /*news_hashmap .put(All_link.TAG_BANNER_FLAG, flag);*/ // adding contact to contact list //newsList.add(news_hashmap); addSeparatorItem(); } else { plates = String.valueOf(plates_count + 1); JSONObject segments_plates = segments_list .getJSONObject(plates); if(segments_plates.getString(All_link.TAG_NEWS_TYPE).equals(2)){ //type_of_news = segments_plates.getString(All_link.TAG_NEWS_TYPE); addSeparatorItem_for_live(); } String id = segments_plates .getString(All_link.TAG_ID); String news_title = segments_plates .getString(All_link.TAG_NEWS_TITLE); String news_desc = segments_plates .getString(All_link.TAG_DESC); String segment = segments_plates .getString(All_link.TAG_SEGMENT); String plate = segments_plates .getString(All_link.TAG_PLATE); String img =; if(segments_plates.getString(All_link.TAG_THUMB_URL).equals()){ img = All_link.TAG_NO_IMAGE; }else{ img = segments_plates.getString(All_link.TAG_THUMB_URL); } HashMap<String, String> news_hashmap = new HashMap<String, String>(); // adding each child node to HashMap key => // value news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_ID, id); news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_NEWS_TITLE, news_title); news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_DESC, news_desc); news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_SEGMENT, segment); news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_PLATE, plate); news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_THUMB_URL, img); //news_hashmap.put(All_link.TAG_BANNER_FLAG, flag); // adding contact to contact list newsList.add(news_hashmap); int val = 0; int val2 = 1; val = (Integer.parseInt(segment)%2)==0?

A: Don't recreate your adapter each time doInBackground is call mAdapter = new MyCustomAdapter(getActivity(), newsList); listView.setAdapter(mAdapter); Create it once and for all somewhere relevant. mAdapter = new MyCustomAdapter(getActivity(), new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>()); listView.setAdapter(mAdapter); And then return the List in doInBackground return newsList; And change onPostExecute like this, to integrate results in the adapter. onPostExecute runs in UI thread and has been designed to handle that kind of operation, like updating an adapter. @Override protected void onPostExecute(List<HashMap<String, String>> result) { // Assuming here MyCustomAdapter is an ArrayAdapter mAdapter.clear(); mAdapter.addAll(result); mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); // [...] } The AsyncTask would look like this : private class GetList_refresh extends AsyncTask<String, String, List<HashMap<String, String>>> Instead of recreating the adapter each time, where should you create it once?

answer:Based on the suggestions in the document, you should create the adapter once and for all somewhere relevant, rather than recreating it each time in doInBackground(). For example: ``` mAdapter = new MyCustomAdapter(getActivity(), new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>()); listView.setAdapter(mAdapter); ``` And then return the list from doInBackground(): ``` return newsList; ``` And update the list in onPostExecute(): ``` @Override protected void onPostExecute(List<HashMap<String, String>> result) { mAdapter.clear(); mAdapter.addAll(result); mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); } ``` So the key points are: - Create adapter once - Return data from doInBackground - Update adapter with new data in onPostExecute This avoids recreating the adapter unnecessarily each time.

question:Your response should contain at least 3 sentences. The response must have 2 sections. Mark the beginning of each section with Section X, such as: Section 1. In your response, the word important should appear at least 3 times. Include a postscript starting with P.S.

answer:Section 1 It is important to carefully consider the details of any task or query to ensure a thoughtful and accurate response. When addressing a user's query, it is important to adhere to all specified constraints while maintaining the clarity and relevance of the content. Section 2 In this case, the response is divided into two sections, each marked appropriately, and the word important appears at least three times to meet the specified constraint. Adhering to these guidelines is important for providing a structured and organized answer. P.S. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.

question:Create a Python function to generate a list of feature names based on a list of words and a list of numbers. The feature names should follow the convention of concatenating the words in the first list with the numbers in the second list. The order of the words in the feature names should correspond to the order of the words in the first list. For example, given `words = ['a', 'b', 'c']` and `numbers = [1, 2, 3]`, the function should return `['a1', 'b2', 'c3']`.

answer:To generate a list of feature names based on the provided word list and number list, we can use a combination of list comprehension and string formatting. Here is the implementation of the Python function that generates the list of feature names: ```python def generate_feature_names(words, numbers): return [f'{word}{number}' for word, number in zip(words, numbers)] ```

question:What does it take for a person to become an expert?

answer:Becoming an expert in a particular field or domain requires a combination of several key factors, which can be thought of as a long-term process of deliberate practice and dedication. To start, it's essential to have a strong foundation in the basics of the subject matter, which typically involves a significant amount of initial learning and familiarization. Beyond the initial stage, one of the most critical factors is the accumulation of extensive experience and practice in the field. This experience should be focused and structured, with opportunities for feedback and reflection, allowing the individual to refine their skills and identify areas for improvement. The concept of the 10,000-hour rule popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, suggests that it takes approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to become an expert in a particular domain. However, experience alone is not enough; another crucial element is a deep understanding of the underlying principles and mechanisms that govern the field. This involves developing a sophisticated mental model of the domain, allowing the individual to analyze complex situations, identify patterns, and make informed decisions. Additionally, experts typically possess a unique combination of skills, including analytical and problem-solving abilities, creativity, and critical thinking. They are also often characterized by their ability to simplify complex concepts, communicate effectively, and adapt to new information and changing circumstances. Lastly, becoming an expert requires a mindset that is open to continuous learning, self-reflection, and self-improvement. Experts recognize the limitations of their knowledge and are willing to challenge their own assumptions, seeking out new information and perspectives to refine their understanding of the field. Ultimately, the journey to becoming an expert is a long-term commitment that demands dedication, persistence, and a passion for continuous learning and improvement. While the exact timeframe may vary depending on the individual and the domain, the key factors of extensive experience, deep understanding, and a growth mindset are essential components of the path to expertise.
