android getContentResolver().notifyChange() does not restart my loader

android,android-contentprovider,android-contentresolver,android-loadermanager,android-loader

If you want observers registered on CONTENT_URI_ANY_OBSERVER to be notified when a change happens on CONTENT_URI_FIND_BY_ID, you need to make sure of two things. First, the CONTENT_URI_ANY_OBSERVER needs to be a parent of CONTENT_URI_FIND_BY_ID. If you think of it like folders on a file system, 'CONTENT_URI_ANY_OBSERVER' should contain `CONTENT_URI_FIND_BY_ID' in...

Must we call getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this) after setListAdapter(adapter)?

android,android-listview,android-loadermanager,android-loader

adapter.swapCursor() has no effect because you never set the adapter to the ListView after the adapter was initialized. onCreateView() is called before onActivityCreated(). When you are setting the adapter to the ListView inside onCreateView() it is probably null. Then in onActivityCreated() you initialize the adapter but is not related to...

Updating adapter with AsyncTaskLoader in a regular (support) Fragment not updating ListView

android,android-fragments,android-listview,android-listfragment,android-loader

Turns out that the problem was initializing the adapter in onActivityCreated, as it's called after onCreateView - so setAdapter was being passed a null value (and it doesn't complain about that). This wasn't a problem in the ListFragment and ListActivity implementations I'd looked at as you can use their setListAdapter...

using Loader with a Fragment/Activity with UI widgets triggering updates to the loaders content

android,android-activity,android-sqlite,android-loadermanager,android-loader

It is not the case that Loader is very problematic solution. Rather, web-service calls and push notifications are asynchronous, and the problem of integrating the result data delivered by these into the existing data set (and managing it within the Activity / Fragment life-cycle) is a complex situation which the...
