Im pulling a list of product objects from a database call and I want to build a ListView of the data in my activity with a non-scrolling header and footer. Each row will consist of a product thumbnail, some data and a button arranged horizontally. I understand that using the ListView I can inflate each row using a separate layout. Most of the examples Ive seen using ListView just show a simple array of strings that fill the whole view of the activity, but most real-world examples will be more complex and I can't find any good examples that explain how all these pieces fit together. Does anyone have any pointers to sample code with a good explanation ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView which its contents could change at any time (eg. a list of cities within a state; a new city could be added to the state in our database at anytime). How do I implement, if possible, the onListItemClick event to work with this? For example, if a user selects a certain city in the ListView, i should be able to pass a value that independently identifies what city was clicked onto my next activity. I can't listen for positions because they could change with an addition or removal of a city.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes someone know how to get a 'flat' map / list of the contacts and there phone numbers. I am currently using this to build a datastructure, so I can display it in a lIstView, which is not really fast. The code shows that I do two queries. Would it be possible to do this with one query so that I end up with a just one cursor. The structure ideally would be: contact name number number contact name number
This would then allow me with a custom listView Adapter to display the data and make the names non clickable.................
I currently building an android apps that retrieve data from a distant Web service and I search an efficient way to bind data form XML to ListView. I already use CursorAdapter and i search on the web for an "XmlAdapter". I read on Google IO topic "Coding for Life - Battery Life, That Is" (http://code.google.com/events/io/sessions/ CodingLifeBatteryLife.html) that is more efficient to use "stream parser" instead of "tree parser" but I don't find the way to build a class that implement ListAdapter because of stream parser can't navigate backward so I don't understand how implement method that use "position" parameter (How retrieve data before current XML Parser position?).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having my first stumbling steps with android and are trying to modify an existing notepad example from Android dev. I have a database with an existing column named CREATED_DATE (of the note) but the data for that column is presented as System.currentTimeMillis(). This is all good and probably in line with conventions since it's created by the developers.
But my problem is that I want to present the date in a ListView using the format "30 sep". My problem, how do I convert the data to that format before presenting it in the ListView? Right now I'm using this kind of adapter:
CODE:...........
Now, I've figured out how to convert currentTimeMillis() to todays date but how can I convert the data coming from the cursor before I toss it into the adapter?

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.

An example would be in the contacts application you see the first letter of the grouped contacts for each letter in the alphabet.
If possible provide some code snippets on how to construct the grouped data and the display of the ListView.
I'm pretty new to java programming and am looking to do basic data mappings.What I want to happen is when you click an item it goes to it's subcategory.I'm not worried about switching the data when an item is clicked. I'm just not sure how to create the data set in an efficient way using Android.Eventually this will be driven by a database but I want to figure out how to use mock-data to get this working first.I'd like to be able to access it like myData['category2'] or myData['category2']['subcategory3']Should I create this in xml files and link them up or is it best to create a new class structure for it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to bind data from my SQLiteDatabase to a ListView. I'm currently using a SimpleCursorAdapter to fill in my ListView. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work with setting a CheckBox's checked attribute. This is how I do it now; instead of changing the CheckBox's checked status the adapter is filling in the value to the text argument, so the value is displayed right of the CheckBox as text.
Java:
setListAdapter( new SimpleCursorAdapter( this, R.layout.mylist, data,
new String[] { Datenbank.DB_STATE, Datenbank.DB_NAME }, new int[] { R.id.list_checkbox, R.id.list_text } ) );
mylist.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<CheckBox android:text="" android:id="@+id/list_checkbox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:checked="false" > </CheckBox>
<TextView android:text="" android:id="@+id/list_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" > </TextView> </LinearLayout>
The field in the database is of course of type boolean and I've also tried to assign an id to the checked field to fill the value in.
I read a tutorial, and it uses SQLlite and "SimpleCursorAdapter" to fill the list with items. This is the code...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 ?
I have an activity with multiple list views that are continuously receiving new values form a socket thread, another thread parses the data and updates the array adapters, then the ui thread calls notifyDataSetChanged() to cause the list to refresh.
My issue is that im refreshing all the list a couple of time a second, this causes the UI to be very laggy when some animations need to happen.
I was wondering what the best way is to update multiple lists with multiple value changes every second?
I like that my GUI appears immediatly when the User starts the APP. Than some Data (text, Pictures) come loaded in the Background (like Youtube APP) The Listview and Gallery comes updated automaticly with this new Data.
I initiate my Listview, start a Thread and load the Data....and than the Listview does not come updated!!
Several People write I should use notifyDataSetChanged(). But I can not place this Command in my Thread (just unknown).

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 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
for (int i = 0; i < modelCollection.items.size(); i++) {....................
I just encountered the following situation. I have an Android app with a scenario which I guess may happen in multiple apps. It's about tagging/labeling/categorizing, call it as you want.After CommonsWare's feedback here a bit of a clarification. I'm weird about doing the second query to the DB inside the CursorAdapter, basically this would result in one query per row and I fear this will heavily impact my performance (I've still to test it on a real device with a substantial amount of data to see how much this impacts).My question therefore is on whether there are some strategies on how to avoid this given my data model or whether I have to basically "live" with that :)

Where could I find any examples of rendering XML data in a ListView? i.e, the model is read from a XML file, not in an existing array or database cursors.
