i designed an app that checks for internet connection before making http requests and it works fine, but the problem is that when there is an internet connection and i switch of mobile data or forcefully lose internet connection within that period its searching for data, the app crashes. is there a way i can make the app report no internet connection if internet connection is lost whilst fetching the data, i checked and tried to use Broadcast receivers but in the android manifest where we are to declare intent filters,i couldn't find these i am also using loaders instead of async tasks to do the network requests in other words
i just need a way to handle Response validation
The app checks whether the device is connected to the internet and responds appropriately. The result of the request is validated to account for a bad server response or lack of server response maybe due to loss of internet connection during fetching the data
enter code here
// this is the code to fetch the data
public class Fesh {
public static ArrayList<word> fesh (){
// Create an empty ArrayList that we can start adding earthquakes to
ArrayList<word> words = new ArrayList<>();
// Try to parse the SAMPLE_JSON_RESPONSE. If there's a problem with the way the JSON
// is formatted, a JSONException exception object will be thrown.
// Catch the exception so the app doesn't crash, and print the error message to the logs.
final String RESPONSE = feshjson();
try {
// TODO: Parse the response given by the SAMPLE_JSON_RESPONSE string and
// build up a list of Earthquake objects with the corresponding data.
JSONObject rootobject = new JSONObject(RESPONSE);
JSONArray rootarray = rootobject.getJSONArray("features");
for(int i = 0;i<rootarray.length();i++){
JSONObject current = rootarray.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject properties = current.getJSONObject("properties");
double magnitude = properties.getDouble("mag");
String place = properties.getString("place");
long date = properties.getLong("time");
String url = properties.getString("url");
word earthquake = new word(magnitude,place,date,url);
words.add(earthquake);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
// If an error is thrown when executing any of the above statements in the "try" block,
// catch the exception here, so the app doesn't crash. Print a log message
// with the message from the exception.
Log.e("QueryUtils", "Problem parsing the earthquake JSON results", e);
}
// Return the list of earthquakes
// getword(words);
return words;
