Universal Image loader only loads initial images any new images are not loaded

Question

Hey I'm using the UniversalImageLoader in my android app currently what it does is load images from a weather api but whenever I get new data the Image loader does not load the new images.

This is how I would like it to work when the api returns data the ImageLoader loads the image from the url and when I get new data the new images are loaded in the same place where the old images were. How can I make sure that the Image Loader always loads the new urls in my app.

Here is my code :

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.weather, container, false);
    int i = getArguments().getInt(ARG_MENU_NUMBER);
    String titleString = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.drawer_menu)[i];
    getActivity().setTitle(titleString);

    ImageLoaderConfiguration config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(
            getActivity()).build();
    ImageLoader.getInstance().init(config);

    options = new DisplayImageOptions.Builder()
            .displayer(new RoundedBitmapDisplayer(2)).build();
    return view;
}
public void processJson(String json) {
    w.setText("Wind Speed");
    ws.setText("Wind Direction");
    hu.setText("Humidity");
    pr.setText("Pressure");
    String weatherDescription = null;
    String weatherUrl = null;
    Calendar calender = Calendar.getInstance();



    try {
        JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject(json);
            JSONObject jobject = jObj.getJSONObject("data");
            JSONArray jarrayConditions = jobject.getJSONArray("current_condition");
            for(int i = 0;i < jarrayConditions.length();i++){
                JSONObject jobject2 = jarrayConditions.getJSONObject(i);
                String tempc = jobject2.getString("temp_C");
                String windSpeed = jobject2.getString("windspeedKmph");
                String windDirections = jobject2.getString("winddirDegree");
                String airHumidity = jobject2.getString("humidity");
                String airPressure = jobject2.getString("pressure");
                for(int j = 0; j < jobject2.getJSONArray("weatherDesc").length();j++){
                    weatherDescription = jobject2.getJSONArray("weatherDesc").getJSONObject(j).getString("value");

                }
                wind.setText(windSpeed+ " m/s");
                windDirection.setText(windDirections+ "\u00B0");
                humidity.setText(airHumidity+ " %");
                pressure.setText(airPressure+ " hPa");
                weather.setText(weatherDescription);
                temp.setText(new DecimalFormat("#").format(jarrayConditions.getJSONObject(i).getDouble("temp_C"))
                        + "\u2103");
            }
            JSONArray jarrayWeather = jobject.getJSONArray("weather");
            for(int i = 0;i < jarrayWeather.length();i++){
                JSONObject jobject3 = jarrayWeather.getJSONObject(i);
                String daysTempsH = jobject3.getString("tempMaxC");
                String daysTempsL = jobject3.getString("tempMinC");
                String date = jobject3.getString("date");
                for(int j = 0; j < jobject3.getJSONArray("weatherIconUrl").length();j++){
                    weatherUrl = jobject3.getJSONArray("weatherIconUrl").getJSONObject(j).getString("value");

                }
                mArrayHigh.add(daysTempsH);
                mArrayLow.add(daysTempsL);
                mArrayImage.add(weatherUrl);
                mArrayDate.add(date);
            }

            min.setText("L "+mArrayLow.get(0)+ "\u2103");
            max.setText("H "+mArrayHigh.get(0)+ "\u2103");

            tvDay1L.setText("L "+mArrayLow.get(1)+ "\u2103");
            tvDay1H.setText("H "+mArrayHigh.get(1)+ "\u2103");
            calender.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(mArrayDate.get(1)));
            tvDay1.setText(getDayOfWeek(calender.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)));

            String imageUrl1 = mArrayImage.get(1);

            ImageLoader.getInstance()
                    .displayImage(imageUrl1, day1Icon, options);


            tvDay2L.setText("L "+mArrayLow.get(2)+ "\u2103");
            tvDay2H.setText("H "+mArrayHigh.get(2)+ "\u2103");
            calender.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(mArrayDate.get(2)));
            tvDay2.setText(getDayOfWeek(calender.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)));
            String imageUrl2 = mArrayImage.get(2);
            ImageLoader.getInstance()
                    .displayImage(imageUrl2, day2Icon, options);
            tvDay3L.setText("L "+mArrayLow.get(3)+ "\u2103");
            tvDay3H.setText("H "+mArrayHigh.get(3)+ "\u2103");
            calender.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(mArrayDate.get(3)));
            tvDay3.setText(getDayOfWeek(calender.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)));
            String imageUrl3 = mArrayImage.get(2);
            ImageLoader.getInstance()
                    .displayImage(imageUrl3, day3Icon, options);
            tvDay4L.setText("L "+mArrayLow.get(4));
            tvDay4H.setText("H "+mArrayHigh.get(4));
            calender.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(mArrayDate.get(4)));

    }catch(Exception e){

Answer 1

Hey i figured this out by updating to the latest Universal image loader released and the simply added this few lines of code

ImageLoaderConfiguration config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(
            getActivity()).build();
    ImageLoader.getInstance().init(config);

    options = new DisplayImageOptions.Builder()
    .showImageOnLoading(android.R.color.transparent)
    .showImageForEmptyUri(R.drawable.cloud)
    .showImageOnFail(R.drawable.cloud).cacheInMemory(true)
    .cacheOnDisk(true).bitmapConfig(Bitmap.Config.RGB_565).build();

Answer 2

please change your DisplayOptions like this and try it

options = new DisplayImageOptions.Builder()
            .showImageOnLoading(android.R.color.transparent)
            .showImageForEmptyUri(R.drawable.ic_empty)
            .showImageOnFail(R.drawable.ic_empty).cacheInMemory(true)
            .cacheOnDisc(true).bitmapConfig(Bitmap.Config.RGB_565).build();
