Android xml layout items are not updating

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I have a detail fragment where i have a few items, mostly TextView. I also have a CursorLoader, that onLoadFinished is supposed to set all those values in the layout.

For example in this snippet, it prints out that text is being set to the value that I received from ContentProvider

  String dur = this.expected_duration + " " + this.durationUnit;
    Log.v(LOG_TAG, "SETTING DURATION " + dur);
    if(dur != null || !"".equals(dur)) {
        if(durationTextView != null) {
            Log.v(LOG_TAG, "SETTING TEXT VIEW " + dur);
            durationTextView.setText(dur);
        }
    }else{
        Log.v(LOG_TAG, "FAIL SETTING TEXT VIEW " + dur);
    }

I see the result in the log but this result is never getting to the actual TextView.

I know for a fact that its not a problem of visibility or text font. I have the TextView hightlighted in pink and made sure that the mock text displays on the screen. I have a feeling that I may be creating duplicate fragments that lay one on top of another (not sure if its possible). I can perfectly instantiate all the TextViews and extract all the values but cannot put them together on the screen. Please help. In addition if my theory of duplicate fragments is correct please explain how you tracked it down. Thank you.

My Layout file (just in case)
