android - How to Pass Values from Adapter to Activity

Question

I am trying to show list of Items along with GrandTotal Amount, but whenever i use this code in my code getting NullPointerException, see below that code:

if (Constants.sItem_Detail.size() > 0) {
    Double mGTotal = Double.parseDouble(Constants.sItem_Detail.get(0).get(com.example.sample.CartAdapter.KEY_TOTAL));
    for (int i = 1; i < Constants.sItem_Detail.size(); i++) {   
        mGTotal = mGTotal + Double.parseDouble(Constants.sItem_Detail.get(i).get(com.example.sample.CartAdapter.KEY_TOTAL));
    }

    mGrandTotal = String.valueOf(new DecimalFormat("##.#").format(mGTotal));
    mTxtViewGrandTotal.setText(mGrandTotal);
    myTextVeiwGrandTotal.setText(mGrandTotal);  

Particularly, while i use these lines getting Error:

Double mGTotal = Double.parseDouble(Constants.sItem_Detail.get(0).get(com.example.sample.CartAdapter.KEY_TOTAL));

mGTotal = mGTotal + Double.parseDouble(Constants.sItem_Detail.get(i).get(com.example.sample.CartAdapter.KEY_TOTAL));

i have tried with below code:

if (Constants.sItem_Detail.size() > 0) { 
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Constants is Greater Than 0", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
} else { 
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Constants is Less Than < 0", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
} 

and getting Constants is Greater Than 0, and showing number of items in Cart is 1 but whenever i use this line in my code getting problem, is it the right way to get value from adapter to activity ?

Double.parseDouble(Constants.sItem_Detail.get(0).get(com.example.sample.CartAdap????ter.KEY_TOTAL));

Actually i am calculating total amount of each and every item in Adapter class and now trying to show sum of all total amount as grand total in Activity, but facing problem, tell me where i am doing mistake?

Here is complete code:

CartActivity.java:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_cart);

    mLstView1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
    mTxtViewGrandTotal = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.bill_amount);
    myTextVeiwGrandTotal =(TextView) findViewById(R.id.mTxtViewGrandTotalValue);
    mItems = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.total_items);

    mTax =(TextView) findViewById(R.id.taxes);
    mDeliveryCharges =(TextView) findViewById(R.id.delivery_charges);
    mDiscount =(TextView) findViewById(R.id.discount);
    mPackaging =(TextView) findViewById(R.id.packaging);

    if (Constants.sItem_Detail.size() > 0) {
        Double mGTotal = Double.parseDouble(Constants.sItem_Detail.get(0).get(com.example.sample.CartAdapter.KEY_TOTAL));
        for (int i = 1; i < Constants.sItem_Detail.size(); i++) {   
            mGTotal = mGTotal + Double.parseDouble(Constants.sItem_Detail.get(i).get(com.example.sample.CartAdapter.KEY_TOTAL));
        }

        mGrandTotal = String.valueOf(new DecimalFormat("##.#").format(mGTotal));
        mTxtViewGrandTotal.setText(mGrandTotal);
        myTextVeiwGrandTotal.setText(mGrandTotal);      

        mTaxes = String.valueOf(mTax);
        mTax.setText("0");
        mDelivery = String.valueOf(mDeliveryCharges);
        mDeliveryCharges.setText("0");

        mTotal = String.valueOf(Constants.sItem_Detail.size());
        mItems.setText(mTotal);                 
    }

    mViewCartAdpt = new CartAdapter(CartActivity.this);

    mLstView1.setAdapter(mViewCartAdpt);
    mLstView1.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {            
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, final int position, long id) {
                // 
            }
        }); 
    }

    // Called when the activity begins interacting with the user

Answer 1

(1) There is one way to pass value from Adapter to Activity on which adapter is set,

i.e we write listview.setadapter(xyzadapter); in MainActivity, and we want to pass value from xyzadapter to MainActivity, then only one way I know, make one interface, define one method in that with parameters for passing value, and then implement it on adapter class,

(2) If we want to pass values from adapter to another activity in which it is not set, then we can use putExtra method to pass value,

Let me know if you have any issue...

Edited: for (1) answer

make one interface in your main package:

public interface DataTransferInterface {
    public void setValues(ArrayList<?> al);
}

in your adapter class make object of Interface:

below this line public class CartAdapter extends BaseAdapter { and before constructor:

DataTransferInterface dtInterface;

in your construction pass this interface

in CartAdapter use this constructor:

public CartAdapter(Activity a, DataTransferInterface dtInterface) {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    activity = a;
    this.dtInterface = dtInterface;
    inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}

and use dtInterface.setValues(your Values to pass to Activity)

Now in your CartActivity.java

implement that interface like:

public class CartActivity extends Activity implements DataTransferInterface {

and change

mViewCartAdpt = new CartAdapter(CartActivity.this); 

to

mViewCartAdpt = new CartAdapter(CartActivity.this, this);

now you will see red line below CartActivity (just move your mouse cursor on CartActivity) that shows add unimplemented methods, click on that will override setValues method

@Override
public void setValues(ArrayList<?> al) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

} 

you can use Any type of data to pass instead of ArrayList

Let me know if you have any ussue:
