View 1 RepliesAndroid 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?

How can i set the number of items to show in a list without to scroll?
Example: I have a list with 10 items.
I want that only 3 items appears and that I have to scroll to see the rest of the items.
I am working with a ListView, custom adapter and a large number of items. I read in a book for Android that is was more efficient to use what it called the holder pattern. That is to create a wrapper class for each view in the list view that cached the objects in the view so as to avoid calls to findViewById because those are supposed to be expensive. My question is what is better? To have 50,000 objects GC'd every time the user scrolls or to make the 4 or five calls to findViewById per view? Below is my implementation of what the book suggested.
@Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = convertView; if (view == null) {
final LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)
context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.survey_item, null);
view.setTag(new SurveyItemWrapper(view));
} bindView((SurveyItemWrapper) view.getTag(), position);
return view; } private void bindView(SurveyItemWrapper surveyItemWrapper, int position)
{ final SurveyedItem surveyedItem = surveyedItems.get(position);
surveyItemWrapper.getDescription().setText(surveyedItem.getItemName());
surveyItemWrapper.getCube().setText(String.format("%9.2f", surveyedItem.getCube()));
surveyItemWrapper.getShipping().setText(String.format("%d", surveyedItem.getShipping()));
surveyItemWrapper.getNotShipping().setText(String.format("%d", surveyedItem.getNotShipping()));
} private class SurveyItemWrapper { private TextView description;
private TextView cube; private TextView shipping;
private TextView notShipping; private View view;
public SurveyItemWrapper(View view) { this.view = view;
} public TextView getDescription() {
if (description == null) { description = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.SurveyItemDescription); } return description;
} public TextView getCube() { if (cube == null) {
cube = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.SurveyItemCube);
} return cube; } public TextView getShipping() {
if (shipping == null) { shipping = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.SurveyItemShipping);
} return shipping;} public TextView getNotShipping() {
if (notShipping == null) { notShipping = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.SurveyItemNotShipping); } return notShipping; } }
I have a ListView with a scrolling issue. The Array contain a large number of items. When I try to scroll down, the listview displays the first items again. For example, if the initial view shows 12 items and I scroll down to view the next three, instead of showing 4 through 15, if shows 4 through 12 followed by 1, 2, and three. Debugging the Adapter reports that getView return 4 through 15 just as I would expect.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView backed by a custom adapter based on a CursorAdapter.The cursor I give it is based on a list of Notes in the database (each note is a DB row).Everything works just fine until I delete a note from the database. I'm not sure how to properly update the cursor/adapter/listview to display the new data.I've read conflicting posts on using adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() vs cursor.requery() to refresh the UI, but neither of them seems to work in this case.The only way I've been able to refresh it is by creating a new cursor from a new query and calling adapter.changeCursor(newCursor).Could someone demonstrate the proper way to update the backing data and then the UI (with psuedocode if possible).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am to display the list and store the selected items in an array. But I am not able to get the correct items that were selected. Here whenever the user clicks an item, the array is getting updated, irrespective if the user is clicking the item to select it or deselect it. Could some one please help me solve this. I could actually perform an iteration to remove the odd numbered items in the array but I feel that would become an overload on the phone. Is there something for efficient. Please advise.

An activity has a Button and a ListView. Initially, only the Button is visible. When the button is pressed, the ListView is displayed. When displayed, is it possible for me to show one particular item as selected/focussed?
A use case could be that suppose it is a list of language settings and when the list opens, the currently selected language must be shown as highlighted. If I know the index of the item, how to set it as focused on display?
I am an Android newbie trying to learn the UI side of things and it's doing my head in. Here's what I have right now:
CODE:.....
What I am struggling to figure out is how do I style the selected item? At the moment the selected item has a ghastly orange background which, under the rounded green rectangle, gives an orange outline effect.
I have a custom listview row that contains a number of textView components. Instead of the "standard" single text item, I have created a item where each listview row contains several bits of information. For this example, I have a record id, a name, and a description for each row in the listview. I have my listview populated via
this.mDbHelper = new RecordDBAdapter(this); this.mDbHelper.open();
Cursor c = this.mDbHelper.fetchAllRecords(); startManagingCursor(c);
String[] from = new String[] {RecordDBAdapter.ROW_ID, RecordDBAdapter.NAME,
RecordDBAdapter.DESCRIPTION};
int[] to = new int[] {R.id.recordId, R.id.lblName, R.id.lblDescription};
// Now create an array adapter and set it to display using our row
SimpleCursorAdapter records = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.record_row, c, from, to); this.list.setAdapter(dives);
Now what I want is to be able to access the recordId value within each clicked item. I've tried to follow the Android tutorials to no avail. They do something like
Object o = adapter.getItemAtPosition(position);
but that still doesn't help either. What I really want is to get the value of the recordId within each selected listItem. Does anyone know how this would be accomplished? Here is my onItemClick event:
protected OnItemClickListener onListItemClick = new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View view, int position, long rowId) {
// My goal is either to grab the value of the
// recordId value from the textView, or from the adapter.
//Object o = adapter.getItemAtPosition(position);
//Tried this, no joy
Intent intent = new Intent(NeatActivity.this, SomeOtherActivity.class);
// intent.putExtra("selectedRecordId",val); //val here is a numerical record row id being passed to another activity.
startActivity(intent); } };
1) A ListView with many items (i.e. scrolling will occur at some point)
2) At the beginning, the selection is at the top (item #0)
3) User is scrolling down (i.e. we're not in touch mode)
4) For the first items, the selection is moving down without the list to scroll.
5) Once the selected item is reaching the middle of the list's viewport: the list starts to scroll-down.
6) Then, toward the end of the list: scrolling stops and the selection keeps moving down until the last item is reached.
It's a common feature in (keyboard-enabled) UI frameworks but I don't believe it's possible to achieve with Android, as for now... Right?
I have a ListActivity, and long-pressing on an item brings up a context menu. One item in the context menu is "delete", and that brings up a confirmation box (and AlertDialog). When the user presses OK in the confirmation dialog, I need to know the ID of the item that was originally selected, so that I can actually delete it.
The flow looks like this:
This event: Causes Android to call:
-----------------------------------------------------
Long press an item -> onCreateContextMenu()
Select context menu item -> onContextItemSelected()
call showDialog()-> onPrepareDialog()
user clicks OK -> onClick()
In onCreateContextMenu and onContextMenuSelected, I can get at the id of the selected item from the ContextMenuInfo. In onPrepareDialog, however, I no longer have access to that information. The rub is that onPrepareDialog needs this information to set up an onClick listener on its POSITIVE button.
I know that, during onContextMenuSelected, I can stash the selected item's ID away into a field of my activity. I have done that, and it works. But it's also really ugly. The statefulness that it introduces makes me uneasy. Has anybody else seen a better way to pass such information around than to use fields in the activity?
