4,150 Pointsapp not crushing when I set wrong latitude
my app is not displaying the crash message when I set the wrong latitude, what might the problem be
there is my mainactivity:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity { public static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
String apiKey ="feebc37394effc0ee0b7c5b637d9f7b8";
double latitude = 9999;//37.8267;
double longitude = -122.423;
String forecastUrl = "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/"+ apiKey +"/,"+ latitude +", " + longitude;
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder().url(forecastUrl).build();
Call call = client.newCall(request);
call.enqueue(new Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Request request, IOException e) {
}
@Override
public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException {
try {
Log.v(TAG, response.body().string());
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
}
else {
alertAboutError();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Exception Caught: ", e);
}
}
});
}
private void alertAboutError() {
AlertDialogFragment dialog = new AlertDialogFragment();
dialog.show(getFragmentManager(), "error_dialog");
}
} and that's my startDialogue fragment class
public class AlertDialogFragment extends DialogFragment{ @Override public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) { Context context = getActivity(); AlertDialog.Builder builder =new AlertDialog.Builder(context) .setTitle(context.getString(R.string.error_title)).setMessage(context.getString(R.string.error_message)) .setPositiveButton(context.getString(R.string.error_ok_button_text), null); AlertDialog dialog = builder.create(); return dialog; } }

9,405 PointsI noticed that the code in this lesson only results in an error when run on an emulator. I use a real device when working through these lessons, and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting an error. In order for the error to show up on my real device, I had to add the code that Mustafa provided above to the onFailure() method in MainActivity.java.
So my onFailure() method ends up looking like this:
public void onFailure(Request request, IOException e) {
alertUserAboutError();
}
UPDATE: The WiFi on my real device was turned off! Not sure how that happened, but when I turned it on again (no data plan on this device) I was able to see the dialog without specifically calling alertUserAboutError() in the onFailure() method.
