GridView error "ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer"

Question

I was watching google 2009 and noticed my code is inefficient and may cause memory issues.

This my implementation

public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            ViewHolder viewHolder;
            if(li == null){
            li = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        }
        if(convertView == null){
            convertView = li.inflate(R.layout.book_case_view, parent, false);

            viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
            viewHolder.image = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.bookCover);
            viewHolder.textView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.bookLabel);

            convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
        }else{
            viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }
        bi = dbh.getData(FILES.get(position));

        convertView.setTag(position);
        convertView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                BookCaseOnClick(position);
            }
        });

        viewHolder.image.setImageResource(R.drawable.book);//Create a drawable backup cover


        viewHolder.textView.setText( bi.getBook_Title());//Object refers to Book_information


viewHolder.textView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.alphabet_bar_bg_dark);
//          new LoadCover(image, bi).run();
            LoadCover(viewHolder.image, bi, position);
            return convertView;
        }

static class ViewHolder{
    ImageView image;
    TextView textView;
}

However, I run to an error on this line after first cycle loaded. (second one)

viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();

These are the errors. The main thing to note down is that an exception was found and passed on the gridview class with a "java.lang.integer" error during debugging

Answer 1

Akyl, something like that might help you.

ViewHolder holder = null;
if (convertView == null || !(convertView.getTag() instanceof ViewHolder)) {
    convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.your_view, null);
    holder = new ViewHolder(your params);
    convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
    holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}

Answer 2

you are setting an integer as tag

convertView.setTag(position);

but then you are doing

viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();

That is the reason you are getting this exception. Either set a viewHolder as tag or while getting convert it to integer
