Android :: Speed Of SQLite Vs List Contains For "in-set" Icon On List Rows

May 9, 2010

An application I'm developing requires that the app main a local list of things, let's say books, in a local "library." Users can access their local library of books and search for books using a remote web service. The app will be aware of other users of the app through this web service, and users can browse other users' lists of books in their library. Each book is identified by a unique bookId (represented as an int). When viewing books returned through a search result or when viewing another user's book library, the individual list row cells need to visually represent if the book is in the user's local library or not. A user can have at most 5,000 books in the library, stored in SQLite on the device (and synchronized with the remote web service). My question is, to determine if the book shown in the list row is in the user's library, would it be better to directly ask SQLite (via SELECT COUNT(*)...) or to maintain, in-memory, a List or int[] array of some sort containing the unique bookIds.

So, on each row display do I query SQLite or check if the List or int[] array contains the unique bookId? Because the user can have at most 5,000 books, each bookId occupies 4 bytes so at most this would use ~ 20kB. In thinking about this, and in typing this out, it seems obvious to me that it would be far better for performance if I maintained a list or int[] array of in-library bookIds vs. querying SQLite (the only caveat to maintaining an int[] array is that if books are added or removed I'll need to grow or shrink the array by hand, so with this option I'll most likely use an ArrayList or Vector, though I'm not sure of the additional memory overhead of using Integer objects as opposed to primitives).

Android :: Access Rows In List Activity

Jan 21, 2009

I want to include one button inside each row in a List Activity. When pressing one of these buttons it will be disabled and will perform a heavy task in the background (in a different thread to avoid screen blocking). After the action is completed the button will be enabled again and the row updated with some results obtained from that "heavy operation". Im filling my List with a custom SimpleCursorAdapter, its getView method calls super.getView and in the view (row) returned I access its button through findViewById and set my click listener (to disable it, and launch the heavy task in the background). Once this heavy task is finished I need a reference to this row view to find the button and re- enable it. SimpleCursorAdapterīs super.getView() reuses row views shown on screen to avoid creating many different rows instances, so when my "heavy task" is finished the row view reference i need to reenable its button may have been reused in a different row, so in the end I am modifying a button in a different row! I have tried different solutions, for example giving different ID to each row view (useless because it gets overwritten when the row view is reused) Obviously creating a different row instance for each row whether its shown on screen or not isnt the best solution.

Android :: Autocomplete List From SQLite With Criteria

Jul 3, 2010

Can someone point me to right direction, how to create an adapter for AutoCompleteTextView, which would be getting data from SQLite DB, using data, which user entered into the text field? I want to use the user-entered data to filter suggestions for autocompletion.I imagine that adapter should always take user-entered data as soon as changes appears and use it for fetching suggestions on-the-fly. Is that possible? So far I've seen many tutorials for autocompletion where static String arrays were used, but never seen them build dynamically.Is it possible to do it automatically or I need always fetch String array myself and pass as ArrayList to adapter on every AutoCompleteTextView change?

Android :: How To Assign Each List Items An Individual Icon?

Oct 24, 2010

I'm very new to Android and Java development, searching and reading various tutorials and using different parts of code from around the internet, trying to make sense of it as I go. Currently I have a list created with 4 list items, what I'd like to do is assign a different icon to each of these list items, however, I've no idea how to do it, nor do I know what to search for. Here's the code:

main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/mainListView"> </ListView>
</LinearLayout> row.xml
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
android:id="@+id/rowTextView" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="10dp" android:textSize="16sp" >

</TextView> FirstList.java
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays;
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.ListView; public class FirstList extends Activity {
private ListView mainListView; private ArrayAdapter<String> myListAdapter;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main);
mainListView = (ListView) findViewById( R.id.mainListView);
String[] myList = new String[] {"List 1", "List 2", "List 3", "List 4"};
ArrayList<String> listObjects = new ArrayList<String>();
listObjects.addAll( Arrays.asList(myList));
myListAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.row, listObjects);
mainListView.setAdapter(myListAdapter);
} }

Android :: Graphically Represent Multiple List Selections / Dynamically Change List Item View

Apr 23, 2010

I'm trying to create a multiple selection list where the selection is represented graphically rather than with checkboxes.My list has checkboxes, but I want them to serve a different purpose. I'm using a cursor to hold my data and created a custom view binder for the SimpleCursorAdapter. I did this for the checkboxes and general flexibility.So far I haven't even been able to show one line as being selected. I've enabled multiple selection on the list and denied the children of the list item focusability. I've tried manually changing background color with the position fed in through the list item click listener. But the wrong items get changed and they don't even change to the right color. I've enabled touch focusability with no improvement either.Ideally, I'd like the trackball highlight focus bar to appear in multiple places. But I don't think this is possible unless you use the drawable directly. But I don't know how to find or apply it. My next idea was to have a slim view bar that changes color. But I had the same problem with the wrong item being selected so I never finished trying to guess the index position to see if this would work. My most recent idea is to completely swap out the view for another one if it's selected. But I have no idea how to do this either. I'm thinking of using an array list to store the _id s of the items that need a different view to get around the wierd selection problem. I'm also thinking of passing in the ID field as my from and the selection view as the to for my adapter. Then I'd intercept it with my binder and change the view accordingly. But once again, I'm not sure how to do this successfuly.

Android :: Best Practices Combining List And Non-list Views

Jan 10, 2010

I'm trying to tackle a problem that seemingly many Android developers have, which is how to intersperse lists with non-list data, in one big scrollable pane.The model I have in mind is the screen for an individual app in the Market. You have a big description, a list of a few lazily loaded comments, and then some individual items that do different things, like visit the developer's web page, call them, etc. And then in between them all, are nice section headers.Emulating this approach seems to be extremely hard. I've read enough SO answers and mailing list posts to know not to put a ListView inside of a ScrollView, but I want the same effect without using addHeader() and addFooter() with very complex header and footer views. I've tried using a LinearLayout that I stock with views myself, but I can't get the pleasant click effects that default list items have (the orange background, white for long-click, etc.).

Android :: Focus In List When First List Item Should Be Disabled

Aug 23, 2010

I use tabs in my Android application and one of my tabs contains a listview. I'm noticing some weird behavior when I override isEnabled in my list's adapter and then try to use the D-pad to move up and down through the list and to my tabs.If the 0th item of the list is enabled, then everything works as expected - I can move down through the list, and then up again and once I reach the top of the list, pressing up moves focus to my tab.However, if the 0th item is DISABLED (isEnabled in my adapter returns false), then when I press up while position 1 is focused, the focus gets stuck. It doesn't move up to the tab as I would have expected and instead stays on position 1 of the list.
