Race Condition With UI Thread Issue.

This is the code i am working on. Here I cant update the UI until myOnResponse is finished.Because we are doing a doInBackgrnd, so my textresponse is empty. And Since onPostExecute

Solution 1:

I don't think that you have to use AsyncTask.

You can do something like this :

YourTask.java

public class YourTask implements Runnable {

    private Handler handler;
    private TextView textView;

    public YourTask(TextView textView){
          this.textView = textView;
          handler = new Handler();
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        MessageRequest newMessage = new MessageRequest.Builder().inputText(params[0]).context(context).build();

        GLS_service.message("xxxxxxxxx", newMessage).enqueue(new ServiceCallback<MessageResponse>() {

            @Override
            public void onResponse(MessageResponse response) {
                final String textResponse = response.getText().get(0);
                handler.post(new Runnable() {
                             @Override
                             public void run() {
                                   if(textView != null){
                                      textView.setText(textResponse);
                                   }
                             }
                });
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Exception e) {
            }
        });    
    }

}

And now how to use it :

SomeActivity.java

...
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
...

Thread thread = new Thread(new YourTask(textView));
thread.start();
...

Nevertheless if you want to do this action in Asynktask just try this

private class ConversationTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> {

    private Handler handler;

    public ConversationTask(){
           handler = new Handler();
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
        MessageRequest newMessage = new MessageRequest.Builder().inputText(params[0]).context(context).build();

        GLS_service.message("xxxxxxxxx", newMessage).enqueue(new ServiceCallback<MessageResponse>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(MessageResponse response) {
                final String textResponse = response.getText().get(0);
                handler.post(new Runnable() {
                         @Override
                         public void run() {
                               if(reply != null){
                                  reply.setText(textResponse);
                               }
                         }
                });                 
            }
            @Override
            public void onFailure(Exception e) {
            }
        });
        return null;
    }
}

Hope it helps
