I am trying to use ListView and ListAdapter. If I create a simple Android project and add a ListView as the content view, and set it's adapter to my adapter based on ListAdapter, everything seems to work. My ListAdapter's 'getCount' is called, and I return 3, my 'getViewTypeCount' is called and I return 1, my 'getItemType' is called and I return 0, and for each item, my 'getView' is called and I return a TextView. Everything works, and the list is displayed with 3 items.
Now if I try and do the same thing in a more complicated environment, it does not work. My 'getCount', 'getViewTypeCount' and 'getItemType' methods are called, but the 'getView' method is never called and the ListView appears empty.
Now I know that I must be doing something wrong in the more complicated case, but I cannot see what it is. The code is really too involved to post here, but I was hoping that someone could give me some ideas as to why my 'getView' is never called even though I return 3 from my 'getCount' method.
Android has ListView component which is quite nice. The problem is that I created my own adapter to supply viewitems for each item displayed and I don't get anymore: Background color change when i scroll the items using up/down arrows. Background color change when I select an item. How do I do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI get my Models in a nice object-oriented form. In order to bind them to my List, I have to use the listAdapter. Can I only fill this listAdapter with stupid ArrayLists? Because that means, I have to iterate over my ModelCollection and pull all the data out of my Models again. So, I detach my data from the models and I cant easily refresh the data in my listView, if something chances in the modelCollection (like becoming bigger through new Items / pagination). Does a more intelligent way exist, than I use right now? Can I bind my ModelCollection more driectly to the listView?
ModelCollection modelCollection = ModelCategory.findAll();
/*
* Prepare Data for Adapter
*/
ArrayList<String> itemTitles = new ArrayList<String>();
// Iterate over my ModelCollection and pull all the Data from each Model

I am writing a adapter for a specific app, the problem I met is:
I have only 1 listview in main.xml, and the row style is defined in file_row.xml. If I simply use list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, items)); where items is a ArrayList<String>, everything works well.
But if I use my custom Adapter, say, list.setAdapter(new MyOwnListAdapter(this, filename)); and in the class of MyOwnListAdapter, the code has been simplified as
CODE:................
But I always met the problem which is:
CODE:.........
I thought the self-defined Adapter class actually has only one line of valid execution, which is super(context, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, filename_list); It's essentially identical to direct calling of list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, items)); Then why I always got this error if I call my own Adapter?
I am trying to make ListView which should display data from db. But the db is filled slowly so want the entries in the ListView to grow dynamically according to the elements in db. For example on a desktop music player when you import a folder to the music library the list with songs is filling in real time with the newly added songs. So how can i get this working on android.

Im using a custom listView with a Title and a Subtitle where you can read a brief explanation of the item.
For each item on the list, im displaying an alertDialog to select an option (different for each case). When the option is selected, i want to change the Subtitle for the option selected by the user.
This is what i tried:

For the first item on the list it works fine, when i select an option, the subtitle get replaced by that option, but when i make a selection in the alertDialogs of the other 2 items, the option selected replaces the subtitle of the first item!

Also, the ListView is built using 'strings' ArrayList which is empty the very first time. The Menu option 'Add' is then used to pick a Contact and add the contact Name to the ArrayList which is then:

I have a listview in which there should be different divider height between different rows. So, how can we set the divider height dynamically?
Suppose, I have 10 rows and there should be a divider height of 5 between first 2 rows and then there should be a divider height of 1 between next 5 rows and so on.
Is there a working example out there that demonstrates how to append additional rows in ListView dynamically?

I want to use the top left button to add a list view item to the existing list and the top right button to remove the last item from the list. The List is layed out properly when the App starts, but as soon as any of the two buttons is pressed, the Activity Force Closes.

I am loading a listview dynamically. I have set a .9.png image as row background image. The main purpose of using .9.png image was to extend the height of the image dynamically according to the contents of the listview. But, the image is not getting extended. The contents which can be displayed within the height of the row are being displayed and the rest are being cut.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to laod the listview dynamically. There are three textviews inside a listview. The text to be set in the textview is fetched from the server. All this is working fine. I am able to fetch the text and am able to display it inside the listview.
The only problem is the position of the textview. The xml layout file is as under:

If I look at this xml layout in the eclipse layout tab then it is displayed properly. Problem occurs only when the text is fetched dynamically.
I'm trying to create a game lobby for a project, and I'd like the game's status text to be a different color: red for an "[IN PROGRESS]" game and green for a game that's "[Waiting for x players]". The ListView will be populated with data, and each ListView item will have a game ID and then immediately to the right of that the game's status.
Right now I'm essentially using the Hello ListView code to create my ListView.
(In constructor)
CODE:...........
Then, I have a refresh button that obtains data from our database. It will get two Strings, one for the ID of the game, and the other for the status of the game. If the game status is 0, then it's still waiting for players. If the game status is 1, then the game has started. So, I create a gameItem to add to the gameList:
CODE:.............
This is where I'm stuck. I don't really understand how I can alter the specific TextView when I create the gameItem or when I add that to the gameList. There isn't a way I can see of accessing the TextView's properties. I see how the text of the view is set (through the mapping of the strings to "line1" and "line2", but I don't know how to change any of the properties.

I have a database that gets updated by a background thread. Is is possible for the UI ouput(using a listview) to change when a database entry is added/deleted? I've seen examples of using SimpleCursorAdapter and listViewAdapters and I'm not sure which to use and if it would even work.
I found an "efficient" listViewAdapter which would work great for me since it doesn't call findViewById often and I can change the data structure to hold exactly what I need, but I don't know how to hook it into my database adapter so it dynamically updates the output when there is a database change. Example: http://www.androidsnippets.org/snippets/125/
I will like to know if we can continuously call some service for fetching results and displaying in Autocomplete list.I have one screen with the text box and when user starts entering in that textbox the autocomplete should get filled with the data. The data will not be hardcoded and will be fetched through http connection.I think I need to call http connection in onTextChanged method of Edittext but is that the perfect solution.Moreover, should this type of implementation done in mobile application. Since, this feature is web based. Can this be done in mobile application too?

But i have one problem: After i start the app, i want to see my GUI (one Tab content is a ListView, the second and last Tab is a MapView). In a background thread, i want (and i can) load the data for the listView. So i first create the Tab with the ListView without any content (my string array is empty: String [] array = {""}; ). Now if the background thread is ready and the array-String has get the data, i want to update the ListView in my tab. I try: my_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); but without success. What must i do, that the ListView gets updated.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi have the following problem. I fill a ListView with a custom ArrayAdapter with data from a BD. However, in background, i'm updating those datas from the info provided by an API, so the idea is when the update finish, the adapter shows the updated data instead its "old version".
The problem is that when i do that, i notice a lag while the adapter is updating itself. Is the any efficient solution to avoid this?
