getLoaderManager().initLoader() doesn't accept 'this' as argument though the class (ListFragment) implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks

Question

I\'m having trouble following a guide on using SQLite in Android. I\'m using a ListFragment instead of a ListActivity(as in the example), so I have

Answer 1

Try these 2 lines it will work

android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager loaderManager = getSupportLoaderManager();

loaderManager.initLoader(LOADER_ID, null,  this);

Answer 2

You are not using the right implementations of CursorLoader and Loader. Remove your old imports and use these ones:

import android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager;
import android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader;
import android.support.v4.content.Loader;
import android.support.v4.widget.CursorAdapter;

But I have the same Problem using SherlockActionBar: As I have to extend SherlockListActivity there is NO method getSupportLoadManager().

Any ideas on this?

EDIT: follow this tutorial if you do not know how to use fragments. Create a new Class with extends SherlockFragment and move your display logic there. Make your old activity extend SherlockFragmentActivity and show the newly created SherlockFragment. This way I got it working. Thanks to @JakeWharton!

Answer 3

I was trying to call initLoader() inside an activity. For me this worked

changing

getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(LOADER_ID,null,this);

to

getLoaderManager().initLoader(LOADER_ID,null,this);

After a long sacrifice i got this solution if you are using fragments then just use this code.

getActivity().getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(1, null, YourActivity.this);

i hope this is helpful for you

Answer 5

This is what you have:

getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this); 

This is what you should have:

LoaderManager.getInstance(this).initLoader(0, null, this);

Reason for the first one not working:

/**
 * @deprecated Use
 * {@link LoaderManager#getInstance(LifecycleOwner) LoaderManager.getInstance(this)}.
 */

Answer 6

Change your imports to

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager;
import android.support.v4.content.Loader;

and use

getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
