Tips for initiating another class by using a JSON array

As I create a quiz with 10 questions that are randomly displayed, my main challenge lies in linking the last question to the scoring system to show the player's final score.

This is where the questions are loaded:

public class Question1 extends Activity {



Intent menu = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
static JSONArray quesList = null;
static int index = 50;



/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.question10);

    Thread thread = new Thread() {
        public void run() {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1 * 1000);
                finish();
                loadQuestions();
                Intent intent = new Intent(Question1.this,
                        Question2.class);
                Question1.this.startActivity(intent);
            } catch (Exception e) {
            }
        }
    };
    thread.start();

}

//List<JSONObject> question = null;

private void loadQuestions() throws Exception {
    try {


        InputStream questions = this.getBaseContext().getResources()
                .openRawResource(R.raw.questions);
        bReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(questions));
        StringBuilder quesString = new StringBuilder();
        String aJsonLine = null;
        while ((aJsonLine = bReader.readLine()) != null) {
            quesString.append(aJsonLine);
        }

        Log.d(this.getClass().toString(), quesString.toString());
        JSONObject quesObj = new JSONObject(quesString.toString());
        quesList = quesObj.getJSONArray("Questions");
        Log.d(this.getClass().getName(),
                "Num Questions " + quesList.length());

        /*  question = new ArrayList<JSONObject>();
             int n = Math.min(10, quesList.length());
             for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
                 JSONObject questions1 = quesList.getJSONObject(i);
                 question.add(questions1);*/




    } catch (Exception e) {

    } finally {
        try {
            bReader.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("", e.getMessage().toString(), e.getCause());
        }

    }

}

public static JSONArray getQuesList()throws JSONException{

      Random rnd = new Random();

        for (int i = quesList.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
          int j = rnd.nextInt(i + 1);
          // Simple swap
          Object object = quesList.get(j);
          quesList.put(j, quesList.get(i));
          quesList.put(i, object);
        }
        return quesList;


}

this is where the event of the questions:

Answer №1

It baffles me why there is an attempt to initiate a separate thread within the onCreate() method of Question1. If the intention is to load questions in the background, utilizing AsyncTask would be more suitable. From personal experience, I find using IntentService for handling background tasks and preserving results highly effective. Particularly when dealing with JSON decoding.

The current status of your app remains undisclosed, but it appears that the Activity Question2 fails to launch. This could possibly be due to initiating the Activity from a background thread. While utilizing runOnUiThread() may resolve this issue temporarily, a more efficient approach would involve loading questions in an IntentService, triggering a local BroadcastMessage upon completion, and then presenting the outcomes. Furthermore, preprocessing the JSON data into a database or content provider would be advisable.
