Android :: Fail On Trying To FindViewById For Nested TextView - Within ListView
Jul 31, 2010
Trying to have a ListView (scrollable list) of rows made of two TextViews. I have a list of items from a database that I want to populating into the LinearLayout->ListView->TextView but can't get to the id...
Layout somewhat like this instructional link, but have backed away from RelativeLayout and using LinearLayout to get it working. Not even worried about how it looks yet; just can't get it wired together yet.
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/02/android-layout-tricks-1.html
Have two XML files (very abbreviated details below)
CODE:...........
I have an ArrayAdapter where I inflate the stuffView. My thinking and understanding of other examples is it's not inflated (this nested stuffView) until I purposely inflate it. That all works fine but when I do the findViewById it returns null and thus I can't setText().
epic Fail due to complete ignorance/newbieness on my part. Note: I've pored through what I can of Reto's book, especially a simliar example on Page 163 but fail fail fail...
Can some kind soul point me in the right direction?
Must I inflate this nested view? (Reto's example does). If so, what am I missing? I'm hoping someone can point me to a better example.
My code's probably too involved at this point to post and a bit proprietary.
CODE:........
A pojo called Thingy (not copying Thingy.java here - very simple)
The main class:
CODE:...........
So this code is in essence what I'm looking for help on; neutered the names to call it Thingy.... This sample isn't triggering the getView(). That's a secondary problem I have to sort out. More importantly, your help on the findViewById failure and if I've got the XML right would help a bunch.

This is going to be a bit lame question. I have the following code:
CODE:.....
I have a TextView in my xml layout file. I'd like to get it and change my text when I click this button.
But I can't get it (the TextView) unless I make it as a value of a static member of this class and pass it to the constructor. I believe I am missing a big point here, so i'd be very thankful if you could explain how this is meant to be done ?

first of all: yes, I read all the other threads on this topic. And not only those from this site... (you see, i'm a little frustrated) Most of them come with the advice to use "android:id" instead of just "id" in the xml file. I did. From others, i learned, that View.findViewById works different than Activity.findViewById. I handled that, too.
in my location_layout.xml i use
<FrameLayout .... >
<some.package.MyCustomView ... />
<LinearLayout ... >
<TextView ...
android:id="@+id/txtLat" />.................

In my project whenever I extend activity it works fine but as soon as I extend ListActivity it throws exception and shows file not found. Why is that? We already know that ListActivity itself extends the Activity class. The application must run fine.
Here's the java file:
package com.android.feedGrabber;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.util.Collection;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.sun.cnpi.rss.elements.Item;
import com.sun.cnpi.rss.elements.Rss;
import com.sun.cnpi.rss.parser.RssParser;
import com.sun.cnpi.rss.parser.RssParserFactory;
If I change "extends Activity" to "extends ListActivity" it gives the exception. I need to bring this change because I want to implement it on ListView instead of TextView.
Error it throws:
debug mode gets active and it highlights under Suspended(exception RunTimeException): ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread$ActivityRecord, Intent) line: 2663.

I have an activity with a ListView which is populated through a custom ArrayAdapter. There is an array of objects which have a Boolean property called 'isRead'. Based on the value of this property, I want to set the typeface of one of the TextViews in the row to either 'normal' or 'bold'. I also set the color of the text to either 'gray' or 'black When the Activity initially starts up, everything works as expected. If isRead is true, the text is gray with a normal font. Once I scroll down the list and then scroll up again, the text of an object where isRead is true is colored gray, but the font is bold. Code...

I have a ListView with a lot of "rows". In each row, i have one TextView with a background image. When i scroll, the images of the rows mixes... they jump to another row with the scroll.
In have tried android: scrollingCache="false" and android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" but nothing.
The images are loaded dinamically.
Part of my layout:
CODE:.........................
And part of my code:
CODE:............
"avatars" is a cache of Drawables. any idea?

I have a main menu screen with a simple ListView that contains "links" to further screens in my app (Browse, Bookmarks, Settings, About, etc.). Underneath the ListView there is a TextView (more accurately, a TextSwitcher that rotates TextViews) that changes every 10 seconds to display a new "tip".
In portrait mode, this works fine. There are my five list items in the ListView , and my tip label underneath. However, when I switch to landscape mode, the ListView is taller than the screen. The ListView scrolls normally, but I cannot scroll past the end of the ListView to see the TextView underneath.
I have tried every possible combination of Layouts, wrappers, ScrollViews, and layout_height parameters and I simply cannot get it to behave.
Here is the simplest code ...
Like I've said, I've already tried so many different combinations that I can't list them, and for the most part I was randomly inserting XML in an attempt to get something to work the way I wanted. So I'd greatly appreciate suggestions as to how I would go about doing this the right way.

The problem is that I want to set a new typeface for the TextView in the ListView, and it seems it can't be done in the XML file!

I've got a ListView where each item in the list is contains several controls. One of the items is a checkbox, and I can check/uncheck it without problems. The other items are some TextViews and a WebView. I've got autoLink turned on and linksClickable turned on, but I can't get links to fire up the browser when I click on them. This applies to both TextView and WebView. I've tried changing the parent to a GridView instead of a ListView, playing with setFocusable(), and all that, but to no avail.
Is it even possible to have interaction on the TextView-based elements of a row in a ListView? It seems like that *should* be possible, but I've been banging my head against this problem for a few weeks with no progress. What's the secret?

I'm having a problem with incorporating an imageview with a textview into a list view.
Activity code:
Code:
ListView menuList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListView_Menu);
String[] menuitems = {getResources().getString(R.string.playgamebtn),[code]....
displaying the imageview and the textview isn't the problem it is clicking on it. When clicking on the textview, there is an error with the ArrayAdapter.

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 am having this issue where I am trying to have a single TextView span one to two lines, fill the cell completely (so you can also click edges of the cell and it will trigger) and center-align.
This is the layout for the cell:
CODE:...
However cells seems to be filled correctly ONLY if it happens to wrap around and end up spanning two lines of text. It shows center-aligned and you can click anywhere in the cell to trigger the click. The cells that do not span multiple lines of text are left-aligned and trigger (highlight) only if you click where the text is. There is a "numb" area which does not react to clicks inside the cell if the text is short.

I have a listview with custom rows and that extends SimpleAdapter.
Each row consist of two linear layouts : 1st having two textviews of which one is hidden in horizontal orientation, second having two textviews in horizontal orientation.
Now depending on the value in hidden textview , I want to setcolor for the remaining items for the row.
To put it as simple:
each listview item has some custom colors the value of which comes from the hidden field.
I have done this by overriding getview() for the simpleadapter and returning view for each, but this makes list very slow to render (and that I think is obvious as so much of work for each view before showing it).
Can I do this in some more efficient way ? like making views and then add up to list instead of using xml layout maybe one solution OR any other?

I'm not sure whether I'm badly misusing InstructionCount or there is a bug, but let's assume the first one for now. The simplified situation is like that: I have a function (say, foo()) for which I want to track the number of instructions executed and the function itself calls another function (say, bar()), for which I also want to keep track of the number of instructions executed, something like: Code...

I have a PreferenceScreen that is defined in XML that serves all the preferences for my application. This PreferenceScreen also has a child PreferenceScreen nested within it. My implementing class is called PreferencesActivity. I know I can open the main Preferences window via startActivity(new Intent(this, PreferencesActivity.class)); but how do I go about opening the child PreferenceScreen via an Intent?

When I read the android source, I have found the macro nested classes. For example, the client in cameraservice, the autolock in mutex. Who can tell my why chooses the nested class to implement these functions.

I have a layout xml file with a linear layout. One of the children is again a ViewGroup Relative layout. In my java code i want to change the width of this child Viewgroup for my requirements. I tried this
ViewGroup childViewGroup = (LinearLayout)findViewById(childViewGroup);
LayoutParams l = childViewGroup.getLayoutParams();
l.width = 360;
childViewGroup .setLayoutParams(l);
I couldn't do this because findViewById(childViewGroup) doesn't fetch ViewGroups it does only for Views. Note: I cant define a whole new layout.xml for this minor requirement since it is huge layout file and might cause performance overhead. I wanted to just change the width of the child view group in my java activity code.

I have a TabActivity which contains an Activity. When the tab for the activity is selected, if I press the Menu button, onPrepareOptionsMenu is called in the parent TabActivity, but not on the activity for the tab which was selected. The options menu for the activity in the tab isn't shown unless I click inside the tab, then I get calls to both (which is what I want). Is there any way to 'focus' the activity in the tab when the tab is selected?

I am creating a layout through code and want to add a View to that layout. The view which is to be added is defined in the xml file. Is there any way to use an View from xml before calling setContentView method. Because we can not call findViewById before setContentView.
