Unable to view poster image about tmdb-java

[UweTrottmann]

Did you make sure to build the full URL? The TMDb API only returns the image path, e.g. /8uO0gUM8aNqYLs1OsTBQiXu0fEv.jpg. You will have to assemble the full URL by adding the current image base url and a size specifier as described in the docs.

how to obtain size using your tmdb???

[UweTrottmann]

Either obtain them via the /configuration endpoint or just look at the example response in the docs. You can pretty much hard-code the base url and resolutions as they don't really change.

thanks and one more thing how do i use a single async method for returning one id's tiitle,poster path and year.

[UweTrottmann]

Can't you just return the whole movie object in 'doInBackground()' instead
of a single property?

so u r saying that i should use

return movie.toString();

but if i use this then how do i separate the three things i need from the whole thing???

and another thing how do i use the same Async method for multiple tmdb ids??

[syedalinaqi]

and also how do i extract the titles and posters of the MostPopular movies as it returns a list.

[syedalinaqi]

 1   Tmdb tmdb = new Tmdb();
 2   tmdb.setApiKey("76f029219decc8a8e1c6d5474e37d7c9");
 3   MoviesService movieService = tmdb.moviesService();
 4   ResultsPage movie = movieService.popular();

 5  return movie.results;

ok after using the above method how do i use the data that comes in a list from the 4 line. how do i view it

[syedalinaqi]

at leat tell me what type of list it returns

arraylist
string list
etc

[UweTrottmann]

Just look at the type? E.g. hover your mouse cursor over it in eclipse, or press Ctrl+Q in Android Studio/IntelliJ.

[syedalinaqi]

well i did and it said

com.uwetrottmann.tmdb.entities.ResultsPage
public java.util.List<com.uwetrottmann.tmdb.entities.Movie> results

so as i said before it returns a list. SO how do i use it.

[UweTrottmann]

It returns a list of Movie objects wrapped into a standard Java List interface (List<Movie>). See the Java documentation for List on how to use it.

ok i did exactly as u said but the activity stopped instantly

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
    new showMovieInfo().execute();
    tv.setText( mplist.get(1).title);

}
public class showMovieInfo extends AsyncTask<Integer,Integer,List> {

    protected void onPreExecute(Integer f){
        //setting up variables for whole method
    }

    @Override
    protected List doInBackground(Integer... params) {
        Tmdb tmdb = new Tmdb();
        tmdb.setApiKey("76f029219decc8a8e1c6d5474e37d7c9");
        MoviesService movieService = tmdb.moviesService();
        ResultsPage movie = movieService.popular();//you can use a String[] array at the place of 550.
        //String str = String.valueOf(movie.title);
        //you can create multiple return statements or u can use if else statement for different commands.
        return movie.results;
        ///MenuInflater inflater = new MenuInflater(MainActivity.this);
        //inflater.inflate(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, false);


    }
    protected void onProgressUpdated(Integer... progress)
    {

    }
    protected void onPostExecute(List result)
    {
        mplist = result;
