I can't find this in the docs - isn't there a way to specify a View to use for a ListView if the adapter is empty?
For some reason the empty view (TextView in this case) always appears, even when the List is not empty. I thought the ListView would automatically detect when to show the empty view.How can I hook up the empty view properly?

This seems like a reasonable thing to do but I don't completely understand Android's layout rules yet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView that with alphabetical headers for each letter. I also have an index function that brings the letter headers to the top of the screen.
My problem is when I reach the end of the list setSelection is unable to bring the last few headers to the top because it will not scroll past the end of the list.
My question is this: Is there a way to add a blank space to the end of the screen dependent on screen size? I would like to scroll until the last item in the list is at the top of the listView.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have ListViewActivity
public class SelectActivity extends ListActivity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.select_one_of);
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(

((TextView) getListView().getChildAt(0).findViewById(R.id.selectoneof_add_new_item)).setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.ticked, 0); but getListView().getChildAt(xxx) returns null and I catch NullPointerException. Where should I put mentioned above code-snippet?
What I have now is a layout that includes a list view at the bottom. All of the items in the layout above the list view remain fixed as you scroll through the list view. I would like the entire page to scroll so for example when you reached the bottom of the list you would no longer see the items above the list view.

I am new so I may not explain the situation well. Please let me know if you need more info.
I am trying to implement a listview like this:
[textview][button][checkbox]
[textview][button][checkbox]
[textview][button][checkbox]
[textview][button][checkbox]
I want other checkbox unchecked automatically when I click one of them. So it is like a single choice. I write following codes which can implement multiple choice but when I try to switch it to single choice I got trouble.
in checkBoxOnClickListener I cannot find other (checkbox)view and toggle them. Any suggestion pals? Let me know if you think my express skills poor. code...
I have a ListView and to create context menu I need to know what view created the menu. The View parameter of onCreateContextMenu is always the same and equals the first view in ListView. Is there any way to get position or id of view that called onCreateContextMenu?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two textviews, a listview (this is a listactivity, by the way) and a datepicker. All is supposed to be displayed in this order, vertically.
The problem is that the ListView is pushing the datepicker below the screen, to the depths of the unseen world. I want the datepicker to have its own space, fixed at the bottom, while the listview grows as needed, but still allowing datepicker to have its own space.
+/- like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ screen top
TextView 1
TextView 2
|
|
|
| ListView [*]
|
|
|
DatePicker (stays here no matter how much List grows or shrinks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ screen bottom
[*] -> This listview will scroll a lot, but won't hide datepicker!
I know it's very lazy to ask for ready code, but could you guys share a light? This is driving me crazy. I've tried millions of combinations I believe.
In Android, what functionality do ListActivity and ListView provide beyond a regular Activity and View?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView backed by customized ArrayAdapter where each item has 2 LinearLayouts - one I call head, and the other one - body. The body is hidden (gone) until user clicks on the row at which time it slides out. The second click (on the head) will hide the body. However if user clicks on the body it brings another activity. All of this works just fine, here comes the problem.When user presses on body I want a visual indication of the action just the same way as regular list item will flicker an orange background when pressed. I'm not getting this by default since (my theory) the onPress event is intercepted by body's view and not processed by the list item.The first thing I tried was to execute body.setBackground('#ff00ff') (never mind the color) in onPress event. That didn't work since (I suspect) there's no repainting after the call. Then I dig a little bit more and decided to use <selector/>-based background. I defined body_background.xml in drawable folder and assigned that to the body's background property.
There I noticed that background will only change if the even is processed by the list. For example if I set <item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="@drawable/selected"/> then when I press on the head - the background of both elements (head and body) will change, however when I press on body - nothing. So to summarize my question.how do I change background of the child element in the list item if I assign custom onClick handler to it?
Currently I have a list view within it each row has a checkbox attached. I would like that once any checkbox is checked, at the bottom of the screen a view displays, and once none of the checkboxes are checked, the view automatically disappeared. Possible to do this?

The problem is this line right here
list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
which gives me a Cannot cast from View to ListView and I checked the xml file and it is a ListView so I don't know what the deal is.
