Using JsonArrayRequest with setOnItemSelectedListener

Question

I'm trying to call a JsonArrayRequest with spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener inside a fragment. But it gives me error on this line

RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);

I tried

RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this.getActivity);

newRequestQueue (android.content.Context) in Volley cannot be applied to (annonymous android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener)

But it didn't work.

final Spinner type = (Spinner) rootView.findViewById(R.id.spinner);

type.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

            final int index = parent.getSelectedItemPosition();
            final String item_type = String.valueOf(index);

            JsonArrayRequest jsonArrayRequest = new JsonArrayRequest(Request.Method.POST, ITEM_CUSTOMER_MEASUREMENTS, null,
                    new Response.Listener<JSONArray>() {
                        @Override
                        public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {

                            try {
                                JSONObject object = new JSONObject();

                                String shoulder = object.getString("shoulder");

Answer 1

Why did this error come

If you look into syntax of Volley.newRequestQueue(...), it takes one argument of Context class. So here in you case android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener is not a Context class (i.e. not derived from Context). So inside the class android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener you need reference of either Activity or Activity from Fragment to pass to the method Volley.newRequestQueue(...).

---

So your code would be

RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(ActivityClassName.this);

or

RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(FragmentClassName.this.getActivity());

---

Better is to pass Application context as

Volley.newRequestQueue(ActivityClassName.this.getApplicationContext()) or Volley.newRequestQueue(FragmentClassName.this.getActivity().getApplicationContext());

Answer 2

you should initialize it on onCreateView() method,

        public RequestQueue requestQueue;
        requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getActivity());
