Android :: Calling ListView.setSelection Has No Effect When Called Directly After Adapter Data Was Invalidated
May 4, 2009
I have a ListView whose position should be changed automatically along with the data. So, when the adapter's data has changed (adapter is calling notifyDataSetInvalidated), I'm calling setSelection. This has no effect. If the call to setSelection is done later (e.g. in a click handler) it is working.
The second problem is, that the ListView maintains the scroll position of the list although the data is completely invalidated, that makes no sense IMO.
It looks like a call to layoutChildren before the call to setSelection does help in this case, but layoutChildren is protected.
What is the correct way to do this?

I have create a listview . When listview is created I used setSelection(0) to set it to first listitem. But there is no visual effect, the selected listitem is not changed to listed color. In my application, I want to high light the first listItem by default. Does anyone know how to do that?

I must be missing something simple here.I've searched around but don't think my search query is touching on the right topics to yield results. Anyhow, what I'm after is running through the array of data I bind to a ListView after a "Submit" button has been clicked.

I have a list view that can display items based on internal state (it has items, and 'viewed' items). i need to be able to toggle between the two states, i do that using a simple button that change the adapter's state and the adapter then called notifyDatasetChanged(). My data DOES gets updated, however i was facing two problems:
if in the previous mode the list was partially scrolled, it stayed in that state after i changed the data set (if i was half the way down i'll be half way down in the new data set as well, this is not the behavior i want, but i cols not find a way to scroll the list manually to position 0. any ideas?
(setSelected is not exactly a solution since i DON'T want any selection i want to stay in touch mode) In my list View each item has an image that is fetched from the net, as so it's being brought using my networking manager and i send the image request ONLY if i'm in this screen for the first time OR if scroll state is idlle, i didn't want to start loading images from the getView method since if i fling the screen it may load a lot of unnecessary images. However when calling notifyDatasetChanged() the scroll listener methods are not called. i solved this one by using notifyDatasetInvalidated even though my data is not empty, is there a better way to solve this issue ?

Just watched Google IO's "World Of ListView" presentation [1]. Awesome stuff. I think every Android dev should watch it.
One gotcha for me was to use BaseAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged[2]. I checked code that I have written more than a year ago and found that I did try to use that, but commented it out with '// doesn't work' and I use requery() instead. That is of course much slower.
I now tried to find out why I wrote that it didn't work and hoped that I am meanwhile so much wiser that it would be easier to understand the proper use of the API. So much for ambition: The effect I see is that the list is not updated after I call notifyDataSetChanged(), but works with requery() and I am not so much wiser.
What could be the issue here? I use a ResourceCursorAdapter and only implemented the bindView() Method. This method is called when I call notifyDataSetChanged() on the RCAdapter. However the method is called with a cursor that contains the stale data.
Now there was a second gotcha from the presentation that I couldn't really place. It was said that the data should be committed on the GUI thread too (before calling notifyDataSetChanged()). I couldn't place it then, but I now suspect that this may be the issue here. So the rule would be to do the commit() on the Cursor on the UI thread? I do the updates to the database using a Service. This Service runs in the background, sometimes the app is in the foreground at the same time, but most often not. So I don't see how I should commit something in a UI thread? Is this the issue here? There are two different Cursors and I could only use notifyDataSetChanged when it would be the same cursor, otherwise requery() is correct?
Is that it? Any ideas? Is somebody going to write a book "The Android SDK - The missing manual"?

I have a ListView populated via a CursorAdapter. I give my user the ability to alter the data in the list. For example, the user can mark a row as being unread (the data are messages).
Suppose my user marked a row unread. Would a proper implementation mark the row in the database as read and then requery the Cursor?

I have a very simple application. There is a refresh button, everytime it is being clicked, the adapter will call notifyDataSetChanged() to update a ListView. However, I got IllegalStateException all the time.

I was interested in making a springy-bouncing effect for ListViews similar to one in iphone.I wanted to make sure about a few things before implementing it.
1). Does Android provide this feature somewhere in the new Donut version thats coming out?(so that i don't have to re-invent the wheel)
2). Do Google plan to add this feature in any future versions of the SDK?

For some reason, whenever I scroll through my list of items, the background inside my listview disappears and reappears giving rise to a "flicker" effect which I don't really want. I've tried the suggestion at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1377336/android-make-listview-transparent but it doesn't work for some reason. Any suggestions?

Is this even possible without calling a specific package? I have found countless examples of sending email via intent, but I can find nothing about simply opening the default email client on the device via button press (preferably with a chooser dialog in case the user has multiple clients).

I have ListActivity to show a custom list. The adapter for this list is a complex layout only known for each row at runtime depending on data gathered in a previous activity. The question I have is simple. I know it takes 4-6 seconds to prepare the adapter for the rows that will be visible (first 10), however I would like to let the user know by means of the empty list functionality or otherwise. At present the ListActivity is launched via a button on a previous activity and when that button is clicked the new activity will not be loaded until the adapter is completed, and the user is stuck with the previous activity until this happens. Code...

I've implemented a custom ListView and Adapter, and sometimes I receive IllegalStateException exception:" ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3575): java.lang.IllegalStateException: The content of the adapter has changed but ListView did not receive a notification. Make sure the content of your adapter is not modified from a background thread, but only from the UI thread."

I have a listview with a custom arrayadapter that handles about 15 strings. The style of each row alternates (between labels and values for those labels--for example row 1 could be "email address" and row 2 would be the actual email address). I'm changing the style of each row to alternate like this in the arrayadapter's getView() method. So if the item at the current position is a label, I'll change the styling from the default row style (which is what the values have applied to them). When the listview first loads, the styling is perfect and just how I want it to be. If I scroll the list slowly up or down, it stays that way. However, if I scroll the list fast up and down, the styling of the value rows starts changing to that of the label ones until all of the rows have the styling of a label row. I've used custom adapters on other listviews in the app with no problems like this. Found out that it also changes all of the rows to the label styling on portrait->landscape orientation changes. Doesn't do this on landscape->portrait changes. Below is the adapter I'm using.
public class DetailsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> { private TextView text = null; private String item = null;
public DetailsAdapter(Context context, int resource, int textViewResourceId, String[] objects) { super(context, resource, textViewResourceId, objects);
} @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { text = (TextView) super.getView(position, convertView, parent); item = getItem(position);
if (item.equals("Name") || item.equals("Mobile") || item.equals("Home") || item.equals("Email") || item.equals("Address")) { text.setBackgroundColor(0xFF575757); text.setTextSize(15);
text.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD); text.setPadding(8, 5, 0, 5);
} else { text.setPadding(15, 15, 0, 15); } return text;
} @Override public boolean isEnabled(int position) { item = getItem(position);
if (item.equals("Name") || item.equals("Mobile") || item.equals("Home") || item.equals("Email") || item.equals("Address")) { return false;
} else { return true; } } }

I'm making a custom adapter so that I can display a list of items with icons which looks like the menu that comes up when you long click the home screen. For some reason though the list items are not clickable. The can be navigated to with the D-pad but they cannot be clicked in any way. I thought maybe the problem was with the AlertDialog I was using so I replaced a working adapter I had elsewhere but I have the same issue there. My adapter looks like this:
ArrayList<IconListItem> mItems; LayoutInflater mInflater;
public IconListAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<IconListItem> items) {
mInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
mItems = items;
} public IconListAdapter(Context context) {
this(context, new ArrayList<IconListItem>());
} public void add(IconListItem item) { mItems.add(item);
notifyDataSetChanged(); return item;
} public void remove(IconListItem item) { mItems.remove(item); notifyDataSetChanged();
} @Override public int getCount() { return mItems.size();
} @Override public IconListItem getItem(int position) { return mItems.get(position);
} @Override public long getItemId(int position) { return position;
} @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View view;
if(convertView == null){ view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.two_line_icon_list_item, null);
} else { view = convertView; } IconListItem item = mItems.get(position);
TextView lineOne = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.firstLine);
TextView lineTwo = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.secondLine);
ImageView iconImage = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.icon);
lineOne.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); lineTwo.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
iconImage.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); lineOne.setText(item.getText());
if (item.getSubtext() == null) lineTwo.setVisibility(View.GONE);
else lineTwo.setText(item.getSubtext());
if (item.getIcon() == null) iconImage.setVisibility(View.GONE);
else iconImage.setImageDrawable(item.getIcon());
return view; }
And the XML it's inflating:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:padding="6dip" >
<ImageView android:id="@+id/icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="6dip" />
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:id="@+id/firstLine" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:inputType="text" />
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:id="@+id/secondLine" android:inputType="text" />
</LinearLayout> </LinearLayout>
When I say they are not clickable, I mean that they items do not highlight in orange when I press them nor does onItemClick ever get called. In my code I have this, a different adapter for another purpose and it works perfectly
this.foos= foos; fa = new FooAdapter(this.foos); fooList.setAdapter(fa);
// View the details for an item when it is selected
fooList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
Intent i = new Intent(MyActivity.this, MyOtherActivity.class);
i.putExtra("foo", ((fooAdapter)arg0.getAdapter()).getItem(arg2));
i.putExtra("list_position", arg2);
MyActivity.this.startActivityForResult(i, 0);
} } );
But when I swap out the first 3 lines for
IconListAdapter ila = new IconListAdapter(this);
ila.add(0, "Test 1", android.R.drawable.ic_menu_mylocation);
ila.add(0, "Test 2", android.R.drawable.ic_menu_edit);
ila.add(0, "Test 3", android.R.drawable.ic_menu_search);
groupList.setAdapter(ila);
I t stops working.

I have a listView using a custom adapter. Each row contains a button and some other Views. I want to be able to click either on the button, or on the row itself (to edit the item of the list that is clicked).
Setting an onItemClickListener in the activity won't work because of this problem
I think I have to set an onClickListener in the getView() method of my adapter for it to work properly.
I would like to use my activity's onClickListener, in order to use a startActivityForResult() when the row is clicked, in order to have something returned to my activity when the item edition activity is over.
How can I do that?

Im using ListView to to show some custom data, once data is updated in the adapter i call notifyDatasetChanged(), so the view will get updated, all of this works well, my issue though is i would like to run an animation once only on items that got changed when the adapter was updated. currently i keep a copy of all the changed objects and i tried to animate the correct items through the getView() call.
However if i do it only once for every getView call then i see no animation most of the time on items that changed. if i continue to do so in successive getView calls i see animation on items that don not change as well and also the ones that changed get animated again and again.
Im guessing sometimes android calls the getView() for other reasons than showing the generated view immediately, and thats the reason it doesnt work if i do it once.

I'd like to make a list adapter that formats views like this:
I want to be able to fire a different onClick when the user clicks the image. I have defined the onClick on the image itself in the getView() override, but how do I then get the position of the line that was clicked so I can update the record in the database to record the action?

I have the following code to intantiate a SimpleCursorAdapter to use with a ListView. As you can see I have passed the R.layout.log_item to display the list items, and one value/control to bind to (TripDate).
SimpleCursorAdapter sca = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.log_item,c,new String[] {DBAdapter.KEY_LOG_TRIPDATE},new int[]{R.id.txtTripDate});
This works. I currently only have one widget in the layout xml, a TextView to hold the TripDate.
How do I pass multiple binding parameters for the additional widgets in the layout? So I can also display other info.
