How to Call Adapter class before Activity

Question

Log says:

D/CartActivity-onCreate(18171): onCreate
D/CartActivity-TOTAL-InsideFORLOOP:(18171): 0.0
D/CartActivity-onResume(18171): onResume
D/CartAdapter-TOTAL:(18171): 12.95

As you can see in above Log for loop is executed first in CartActivity and after the execution of onResume() method of CartActivity, CartAdapter is executing this line, therefore for i am getting 0.0 as value of Total in CartActivity inside For loop

The reason is not where i am adding to data ArrayList, issue is CartActivity executes (where i am getting value for Total) before CartAdapter execution (where i am setting value for Total)

So what I have to do, If I would like to call below line before execution of onCreate() method of CartActivity

  CartArrayList.cartArraylist.get(position).setTotal(totalPrice);

CartActivity.java:

public class CartActivity extends Activity {
       .....

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Log.d("CartActivity-onCreate", "onCreate");            
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_cart);        

        .......
        adapter = new CartAdapter(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.adapter_cart, CartArrayList.cartArraylist);                                                                                
        for (int d = 0; d < CartArrayList.cartArraylist.size(); d++) {
            subTotal = subTotal + CartArrayList.cartArraylist.get(d).getTotal();
            Log.d("CartActivity-TOTAL-InsideFORLOOP:", String.valueOf(CartArrayList.cartArraylist.get(d).getTotal()));
        }
        listview.setAdapter(adapter);
        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        textSubTotal.setText(decimalFormat.format(subTotal));
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();  
        Log.d("CartActivity-onResume", "onResume");            
    }
}

CartAdapter.java:

public class CartAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

.....

@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    ......

    totalPrice = cart.getQuantity() * cart.getPrice();   
    CartArrayList.cartArraylist.get(position).setTotal(totalPrice);     
    Log.d("CartAdapter-TOTAL:", String.valueOf(CartArrayList.cartArraylist.get(position).getTotal()));      

    .....       

    return convertView;
}

}

You have to calculate Total value in entity only before setting the array list in Adapter, rather than calculating it in getView.

Code snippet :

for (int d=0; d<CartArrayList.cartArraylist.size(); d++) {
   // calculate total value

   Double totalPrice = CartArrayList.cartArraylist.get(d).getQuantity() * CartArrayList.cartArraylist.get(d).getPrice();   
   CartArrayList.cartArraylist.get(d).setTotal(totalPrice);

   // set it for subTotal          
   subTotal = subTotal + totalPrice;                    
}

adapter = new CartAdapter(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.adapter_cart, CartArrayList.cartArraylist); 
listview.setAdapter(adapter);   

Hope it helps ツ
