java.lang.StackOverflowError: stack size 8MB while Enabling/Disabling TextView#setTextIsSelectable in ListView Adapter

Question

I have an activity with ListView . Displaying the TextView in each list item. Switching the properties of selected position using these methods EditText#setTextIsSelectable , EditText#setEllipsize & EditText#setSingleLine . clicking on 1st item is working good. But while clicking on another item I'm getting StackOverFlowError.

Below is my code sample. Please let me know if i do any mistake.

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;

import android.widget.TextView;

public class SelectableTextListActivity extends Activity {
    private static final String TAG = "HistoryActivity";

    private ListView listView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);//only ListView present in this layout
        listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.myList);

        String items[] = {"Some Information Some Information Some Information", "Some Information Some Information Some Information", "Some Information Some Information Some Information", "Some Information Some Information Some Information",
                "Some Information Some Information Some Information", "Some Information Some Information Some Information", "Some Information Some Information Some Information", "Some Information Some Information Some Information"};
        final MyAdapter myAdapter = new MyAdapter(this, items);
        listView.setAdapter(myAdapter);
        listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                Log.d(TAG, "onItemClick: position=" + position);
                myAdapter.setSelectedPosition(position);
                myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        });
    }

    private static class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

        private final LayoutInflater inflater;
        private int mSelectedPosition = -1;
        private String[] mItems;

        public MyAdapter(Context context, String[] items) {
            mItems = items;
            inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        }

        public void setSelectedPosition(int mSelectedPosition) {
            this.mSelectedPosition = mSelectedPosition;
        }

        @Override

                viewHolder = new ViewHolder(convertView);
                convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
            } else {
                viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
            }
            String item = getItem(position);

            viewHolder.selectableTV.setText(item);

                viewHolder.selectableTV.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END);
            }
            return convertView;
        }


        @Override
        public String getItem(int position) {
            return mItems[position];
        }

        @Override
        public long getItemId(int position) {
            return 0;
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return mItems.length;
        }

        private class ViewHolder {
            public final TextView selectableTV;

            ViewHolder(View convertView) {
                selectableTV = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.selectableTextView);
            }
        }
    }
}

Layout file : selectable_text_layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:focusable="false"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="5dp">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/selectableTextView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:text="My app name"
        android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium" />

</LinearLayout>

And the stack trace is

Thanks in advance.

EDIT :

I'm getting problem when calling notifyDatasetChanged in ListView#onItemClickListener .

Answer 1

Finally I got the solution for my problem. I removed ViewHolder pattern in MyAdapter like

private static class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
    private static final String TAG = "HistoryAdapter";
    private final LayoutInflater inflater;
    private int mSelectedPosition = -1;
    private String[] mItems;

    public MyAdapter(Context context, String[] mItems) {
        this.mItems = mItems;
        inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    }



    public void setSelectedPosition(int mSelectedPosition) {
        this.mSelectedPosition = mSelectedPosition;
    }

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

        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.selectable_text_layout, null, false);
        TextView selectableTV = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.selectableTextView);

        selectableTV.setText(getItem(position));

        if (position == mSelectedPosition) {
            Log.d(TAG, "getView() called with: " + "position = [" + position + "], selected = " + true);
            selectableTV.setTextIsSelectable(true);
            selectableTV.setSingleLine(false);
            selectableTV.setEllipsize(null);
        } else {
            Log.d(TAG, "getView() called with: " + "position = [" + position + "], selected = " + false);
            selectableTV.setTextIsSelectable(false);
            selectableTV.setSingleLine(true);
            selectableTV.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END);
        }

        return convertView;
    }


    @Override
    public String getItem(int position) {
        return mItems[position];
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mItems.length;
    }
}

But still didn't find the the reason for the problem when using ViewHolder pattern.If anybody find the reason let me know.

Answer 2

i was calling onBackPressed() recursively and that caused StackOverFlowError for me.

Answer 3

Mine was too much of log.i statements, where gson was used to convert array to string for logging purpose. When I removed all the logs, the stackOverflowError went away.
