I have a ListView which is populated using a CursorAdapter. I'd also like to have some separators in my ListView. I have accomplished this with an ArrayAdapter, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this with a CursorAdapter. Are there any strategies for doing so? Or am I out of luck?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am calling one webservice.Result of webservice I am storing in an Array list. Result of webservice I want to display as list view. For ListView I am using SimpleAdapter. and SimpleAdapter is something like this:- SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this,hashmap, layout, from, to);
I am not able to put array list into hashmap. Is there anyway to do this?
I have a list which shows data from a database using a cursor adapter. Using Menu option I am updating my database (inserting more rows deleting existing rows). When Menu operation completes, I want contents of list should show updated contents.
I have tried using cursor.requery(); (or explicitly querying cursor again) and using adapter.notifydatasetchanged(), but with this list of contents are not updated.
How can I refresh the contents of the list.
I have read the Gallery2.java example, which show how to map a Column's value to an element in the view I want to create (in this case, it maps 'NAME' to text1 element0. But what if I have a Button in my view, how can I know which Person is being clicked? or how can I query the person's info when a button in the new is clicked?
From the Gallery2.java example:
SpinnerAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
// Use a template that displays a text view
android.R.layout.simple_gallery_item,
// Give the cursor to the list adatper c,
// Map the NAME column in the people database to...
new String[] {People.NAME},
// The "text1" view defined in the XML template
new int[] { android.R.id.text1 });
Gallery g = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
I want to write a short app for getting some info from contacts, the first list screen I have should display the user Image (or an Image from resources if no such image exists) an the user display name. The problem is I don't seem to find a query that will provide me with the display name and a user id And the image URI in the same query. Moreover I'm aware of the fact that if the user has no image and the URI is empty or null i will most likely to get an exception while the adapter calls setViewImage(). Is there a simple way around it or should I override the setViewImage() or bindView() methods?
Also about the query, any chance I can make a single query for contact URI, _ID, contact_id and display name? my current queries: To get the contacts:
private Cursor getContacts() { Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] ContactsContract.Data._ID,ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME };
String selection = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " = ?";
String[] selectionArgs = {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE};
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC";
return managedQuery(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder); }
If I have a contact id and want the image:
int _id = m_cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID);
//try to retrieve the photo, if exists.
Uri photoUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
m_cursor.getLong(_id)); InputStream is = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(m_context.getContentResolver(), photoUri);
Here I get from a cursor with _ID column the id and then creating the uri, I know I can get a row number but I'm not familiar enough with contentProvider to know how to join tables to get it all in one query (if even possible).
CursorAdapter is great, i'm a big fan. I notice that both newView() and bindView() are passed Cursors, indicating that extracting stuff from the Cursor and sticking it in the view should happen inside those overrides.
however in the source for CursorAdapter.getView() i see that bindView() gets called whether the view is recycled or not. in the new view case, this causes a redundant Cursor to View copy.
IMHO, CursorAdapter should call newView() if the view couldn't be recycled, or bindView() if it could.
I've got a schedule Class, which is simply a custom ViewGroup (with custom onMeasure() and onLayout()), which enables me to place childs(=events) with LayoutParams for column/row start and column/row end. The number of childs and their LayoutParams depend on database entries.
Now I'm trying to add childs (events) from my database. I'd have to use a Cursor Adapter, so my schedule Class has to extend ListView, right? I tried that but the newView() method of the adapter is never called. Why not? My custom ListView doesn't ask the adapter for childs, no childs are added. I also can't add the childs by hand calling schedule.addView() if I extend from AdapterView.
How can I add events to the schedule with the data from the cursor?
The structure of some of my activities is a simple ListView with a custom CursorAdapter. The cursor is created in onCreate() on the activity from a SQLite database. The problem is that querying the SQLite database can be quite slow at times with lots of data (and let's assume I've already optimized the sql query as much as possible). Because it occurs in onCreate() on the UI thread, I get ugly black screens when opening the activity, which sometimes turn into ANRs, on a slow phone like the G1. I want to load the cursor in a background and show "Loading.." on screen while doing so. I saw AsyncQueryHandler used extensively in the framework, but this seems a solution geared more towards Content Providers and not application-local SQLite databases. I then thought of trying to load the cursor in a background thread, but realize that this might be problematic, as the CursorAdapter should be instantiated in onCreate() and should take a cursor as a parameter. The latest thought I had was to instantiate an empty MatrixCursor in onCreate() and pass that to the cursor adapter, while kicking off a thread/TimerTask to query the database. Then, on database cursor load, call cursorAdapter.change Cursor to the properly filled cursor. This doesn't seem very elegant and seems quite wasteful, however.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView with a custom Adapter that extends ArrayAdapter. It's ArrayAdapter of Type Artist. (There are about 1200 artists in my list). Artist is a very small class that has a name and an id. The Artist Class has toString() overridden to return just the name. I have an EditText. The EditText has an TextChangeListener where I call .getFilter().filter(chars, callback) on my adapter. In the Filter.Filterlistener().onComplete() callback i print the count and it looks really good. As i type the count decreases. So it seams everything works as advertised, but the List stays the same. I tried to call artistAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() to force the list to redraw, but nothing happens. [see 2.)]. I am tinkering around for days now! I am desperate. Hopefully someone can have a look on my code and tell me what I am doing wrong! How can I force the list to be redrawn?
Here is what I have done:
1.) Defined a ListView and an EditText like this:
<EditText xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/list_search_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="35dip"
android:layout_below="@id/header">
</EditText>
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/list_search"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</ListView>
2.) Setup my ListView in the Activities onCreate():
private ListView listView = null;
private ArtistAdapter artistAdapter = null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.search_artists);
artistAdapter = new ArtistAdapter(this, R.layout.row, list); // 'list' is an ArrayList<Artist>
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_search);
listView.setAdapter(artistAdapter);
listView.setFastScrollEnabled(true);
listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> av, View v, int position, long id) {
// do something } });
EditText txtSearch = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.list_search_text); txtSearch.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) { }
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) { }
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence chars, int start, int before, int count) {
artistAdapter.getFilter().filter(chars, new Filter.FilterListener() {
public void onFilterComplete(int count) {
Log.d(Config.LOG_TAG, "filter complete! count: " + count);
artistAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}});
}});
}
3.) This is my ArtistAdapter in short. I added an remove() and add() method:
public class ArtistAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Artist> implements SectionIndexer {
private List<Artist> items;
/* other stuff like overridden getView, getPositionForSection,
getSectionForPosition and so on */
@Override
public void remove(Artist object) {
super.remove(object);
items.remove(object);
}
@Override
public void add(Artist object) {
super.add(object);
items.add(object);
} }
4.) My artist has also the toString() overridden:
public class Artist implements Comparable<Artist> {
public String uid;
public String name;
public Artist(String id, String name) {
this.uid = id;
this.name = name; }
public int compareTo(Artist another) {
return this.name.compareToIgnoreCase(another.name);
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return this.name;
} }
I developed a List View with a custom adapter (which extends Array Adapter). The problem is that i can't selected or highlighted items. Is there a attribute to fix in the list View Layout or something else?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've written an APP the uses has a small SQL lite DB and using a cursor adapter I can retrieve the records and populate a list view with them. from there I can get the Id of a selected item and delete it from the DB which works great. the issue I have is that as the DB grows deleting one row at a time would be slow and frustrating so I wanted to know if there was any way to allow multiple selections possibly with check boxes or by even changing the text color of the items selected so that I can retreiving their relative ID's.
I have read some posts that talk about custom cursor adapters but I am not sure how to adapt them to my code.
I have posted my code below.
CODE:.........................
I have a Custom Cursor Adapter. It shows a list of installed applications with an icon, name and checkbox on each line item. I cache the list of applications in a database for faster retrieve and to store the state of the checkbox. However, I can't store the application icon in the db because sqlite doesn't support blobs. They list works rather well except that it is "janky" as described by Brad Fitzpatrick at Google IO (https://wave.google.com/wave/waveref/ googlewave.com/w+3kgmObZwO ). I'm trying to make my app non-janky by following the tutorial here: [url]... but I'm having trouble.
The reason my list is janky is because I look up each icon as you scroll down the list. drawable = pm.getApplicationIcon(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(SmartLockDbAdapter.KEY_PACKAGE)));
getApplicationIcon takes too long to return to make for a smooth scrolling list. I would like to perform the action in the background with an AsyncTask but because bindView gets called repeatedly in a short time span, my icons end up with the wrong list item. I need help.
I've posted my whole ListActivity below in hopes that it helps other people. It's much harder to find an example of a working CursorAdapter then it is an ArrayAdapter.
CODE:........................
We are connecting to a number of WebServices and fetching a lot of structured data(XML). We are parsing this data and storing them into SQLite tables. This part of the application runs periodically in the back ground.
On the foreground, the data fetched is displayed in ListViews. We have used ArrayAdapter to back these lists up. The thing is, every time the Actvity starts or data set is refreshed, we have to load the ArrayLists by querying the database and call notifyDataSetChanged() on the Adapter. This slows down the application and affects the User experience.
Question: 1. I'd imagine using a CursorAdapter might result in performance gain, since the framework will take care of managing the cursor. Is this assumption valid? 2. Will the CursorAdapter take care of reflecting updates to the database on the screen automatically? 3. Will I have to write a ContentProvider if I choose to use CursorAdapters? 4. Are there any other considerations that we need to make?
I been using custom adapters based on the BaseAdapter and I usually populate my data at the getView() funtion.
Now I'm trying to write my custom adapter for my database cursor which now will be based on a CursorAdapter.
I'm getting confused where I should do the populating work? Along with how do I implement my inflating and populating "smart/efficient code based on RomainGuy presentation."
I have a custom CursorAdapter that is taking items from a database and displaying them in a listview. If possible, I would like to display only certain elements based on some boolean value within a database element. Here is something similar to what I would like to do:
package itp.uts.program;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.CursorAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;
//Adapter tests if an element is read or unread, and bolds the items that are unread
public class BoldAdapter extends CursorAdapter. Code...
I successfully binded a spinner widget to a simple cursor adapter, but I started having problems when I tried to add a new item to the table which feeds the spinner by clicking an "add new item" button. The idea was to launch a new activity which returns the rowid of the just added element, and use it to set the new position.
What I basically did is to implement something like:
break; in the "onActivityResult" method, the rowid has the correct value but setSelection has no effect. I also tried to force the argument to some other values, but still with no result. If I call it in the onCreate method, it works beautifully. Moreover, I am still not sure that setSelection is the right method to call, since its arg is named "position" in the doc, while I am passing an "id".
can anyone tell me what im doing wrong with my cursorAdapter? its making my display choppy when i scroll. I used to have it within a getview but was ripped (rightfully so) on IRC several times because thats not the right place for it. Im still learning and just trying to correctly wrap my head around things.

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.
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 cant find a way to save the checkbox state when using a Cursor adapter. Everything else works fine but if i click on a checkbox it is repeated when it is recycled. Ive seen examples using array adapters but because of my lack of experience im finding it hard to translate it into using a cursor adapter. Could someone give me an example of how to go about it.code...

This isn't a coding masterpiece, it just displays a pseudo-listview with pictures. I know i could've used ListView, GridView, Spinner, etc. but i'm relative new to android and i'm trying to figure out some things on it. Well, the question here is Why is my onItemClick not firing?
Using the same ImageAdapter with a GridView, everything works ok, but when i use with above class, i get nothing. Inside AdapterView.java there is code for those click, longclick, etc events... so why can't i just fire them? Maybe i'm misunderstanding basic things on how AdapterView works? Should I extend other base classes instead? And why? Hoping to find more experienced guidance on here, thanks in advance.
