Android :: ListView Inside TabActivity?
Aug 21, 2009
I wanna put a "List" inside a TabActivity. by google and coder's guide, my work out "direction" is to create a "TabActivity" as MAIN and "ListActivity" then add it in the "TabHost" and turn out code something like (below) and fail:
CODE:.........
I know i may need to spend more time on the BOOK and google for android development, but i also feel that the resource for android is quit scattered and not detail. (i'm a developer of C# for a few years, and it's more easilier to search for information)

I would like to access the public method of an Activity run by a TabActivity using: Code...
Basically, what I what is to let the parent Activity call a method in child Activity in order to do something. Is this possible?
I did try this:((TeamHuddleScreenMsgsView)getTabHost().getCurrentTabView().getContext()).refreshModel(); but I'm encountering a ClassCastException. It seems that the getContext() still gives the TabActivity. Any help on how to get the child Activity?

I have attached a menu to my TabActivity, and when a menu item is selected, I would like to do something different based on which view is being currently displayed in the TabHost.
int getCurrentTab() returns me the id of the current tab... but from that int how can I get the instance of the activity running?
I also tried getCurrentView(), getCurrentTabView(), but these return things I can't seem to cast to the class of the current activity.

So I've been extremely frustrated by this for a long time now.I've posted before, but can't seem to find a good solution. My goal is to have something pretty much exactly like the installed application details page in the Android Market.I need a list of items displayed along with other content above the list, and would like the content above to scroll up along with the list (exactly like the application details does for the "My Review" and other descriptive info).Due to responses to my previous posts, I came to believe that it really wasn't possible to do this with a ListView.So rather than using a ListView, I refactored my code to use a simple LinearLayout and add individual View items to the list, thinking I could just set each View as clickable and add an OnClickListener to each View in the LinearLayout.That's not working at all though, and now I'm getting even more frustrated.If someone can help me get the OnClickListener working, then I think it'll work, but I do need a separator for the LinearLayout.How do I add a separator like the one used for ListView to my LinearLayout?

I've spent about 6 hours on this so far, and been hitting nothing but roadblocks. The general premise is that there is some row in a ListView (whether it's generated by the adapter, or added as a header view) that contains an EditText widget and a Button. All I want to do is be able to use the jogball/arrows, to navigate the selector to individual items like normal, but when I get to a particular row -- even if I have to explicitly identify the row -- that has a focusable child, I want that child to take focus instead of indicating the position with the selector.I've tried many possibilities, and have so far had no luck.
Assuming there are other items in the adapter, using the arrow keys will move the selection up/down in the list, as expected; but when getting to the header row, it is also displayed with the selector, and no way to focus into the EditText using the jogball. Note: tapping on the EditText will focus it at that point, however that relies on a touchscreen, which should not be a requirement.ListView apparently has two modes in this regard:
1. setItemsCanFocus(true): selector is never displayed, but the EditText can get focus when using the arrows. Focus search algorithm is hard to predict, and no visual feedback (on any rows: having focusable children or not) on which item is selected, both of which can give the user an unexpected experience.
2. setItemsCanFocus(false): selector is always drawn in non-touch-mode, and EditText can never get focus -- even if you tap on it.
To make matters worse, calling editTextView.requestFocus() returns true, but in fact does not give the EditText focus.What I'm envisioning is basically a hybrid of 1 & 2, where rather than the list setting if all items are focusable or not, I want to set focusability for a single item in the list, so that the selector seamlessly transitions from selecting the entire row for non-focusable items, and traversing the focus tree for items that contain focusable children.

I have a Listview and a custom made Adapter connected to it.This Listview is declared in an xml-file together with a TabHost. If the Listview is put directly in the layout and not in a tab, it works perfectly. But if I put it inside one of the tabs, it simply will not show.
Do I need to specify something special for the listview or the tabhost, or do I need to call some update/invalidate function on the tabhost after updating the list?

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 building a chat room application where new events are being polled for every X seconds. Every time that happens, this code updates the RoomAdapter (a custom subclass of ArrayAdapter) with the new data and scrolls it to the bottom:
RoomAdapter adapter = (RoomAdapter) getListAdapter();
for (int i=0; i<newEvents.size(); i++)
adapter.add(newEvents.get(i));
getListView().setSelection(events.size()-1);
This is fine, except that if the user is scrolling up to glance at the room's history, it's going to jump her down to the bottom when the poll happens. What I'd like to do is have it so that if the user is already at the bottom of the list, it stays there after a poll for new events. If the user's intentionally scrolled upwards, I'd like the user not to be disturbed.
How do I detect when I'm already scrolled to the bottom of a ListView?
Note: I can't do getListView().getSelectedItemPosition(), because as the docs note, calling setSelection when in touch mode does not actually select the item, just scrolls to it.

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 implemented a gallery, and inside it I have many listviews from left to right. For some reason Gallery works great with all views but not with listview. With listview, when scrolling on the gallery, sometimes I get little jumps.
Some notes: The gallery uses an adapter to find out what to show, and then the listview is created based on the adapter

I have quite a complicated ListView. Each item looks something like this...
In my activity, when an item is created (getView() is called) I add dynamic TextViews to the LinearLayout inside the HorizontalScrollView (besides filling the other, simpler stuff out). Amazingly, performance is pretty good.
My problem is that when I added the HorizontalScrollView, my list items became unclickable. They don't get the orange background when clicked and they don't fire the OnItemClickedListener I have set up (to do a simple Log.d call).
How can I make my list items clickable again?
Edit: setting android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" on the topmost LinearLayout seems to work. I'd like to know if there are other ways, though: what if I want focusable items in my list items?

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 building a android aplication which will be consuming a json file from the internet. This json file contains a list of news from a particular website. Each json object contains information such like title, summary, descripition and web links for the news thumbnail and the original image.
I will be displaying in a listview three information: the news thumbnail, the title and the summary. Here resides my problem. I dont want to load all thumbnails from the internet if they wont be displayed. What I am trying to say is that why download a thumbnail from the 30th news if the user wont scroll down the image. So, i will, initially only download the thumnails from those news that are being displayed in the screen and when the user scrolls down to see more news, as soon as the list item appers to the screen i want to download the image and then display.
Is there a way to achieve this? Is it possible to find out if the list item is on the screen? I have been searching all over the internet for a solution for this but i am running out of ideas.

I've been a couple of days trying to solve this thing but I can'f figure it out.The problem is, simple activity, with simple layout, ScrollView -> LinearLayout -> and a lot of buttons inside the layout (within the scroll content). Everything works just fine but one tricky thing. When I click a button let's say at the top of the scroll content and inmediatelly I scroll down to the bottom of the content and I click other button there, nothing happens until I click a second time and all come to normal again.This can be reproduced anytime and it's code independent (i've tried more than 20 scenarios). I've not much experience in android yet but looks like the scroll listener stops the onclick listener or something like that.

More of a TabWidget question I guess really...
I would've tried to send a screenshot for this query if I could, but i'll try and explain.
I have 3 Tabs, each showing a separate Activity. Underneath those tabs (and above the activity display), I want to display a header. This header would probably be a Layout of some sort with a TextView inside it and a background 9patch.
Is this possible, if so how?

I create a TabActivity from Several ListActivities.
The lists are created from a cursor load in a AsyncQueryHandler. I have got no problem to load the content of the list.
After that I run an insert in the AsyncQueryHandler, and I meet the following error. The insert is done by the listActivity.
If I run my listActivity individually and that I do my insert, everything is find. Do know why ?

I'm having some difficulties getting the TabActivity to work.
Here's the implementation of the class:
CODE:..........
The problem is that I call this class from my main activity (which is a MapActivity if it matters) and when I do the TabActivity doesn't show. It registers the click on the option menu and it even starts the intent but the screen doesn't change..it just stays on the main activity and i see in the logs that the main activity gets resumed.
I call it like this:
CODE:...............
Like I said...there are no errors (the classes called from the tabs exist of course), just no actions. I put some log commands into the onCreate function in the tabactivity (as you see) and they all get written into the log...I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.
