Can I have two ListViews on a single ListActivity? I have built the xml file easy enough, but the code around ListActivity, setListAdapter(), getListView() and the like, all seem to be designed around one ListView per activity. How to get 2 ListViews in one screen?

I want to show many listviews in one activity. Something like
Textview Listview TextView Listview ..........
Every listview has different type of adapter. For this, I made the activity class like:-

I want to have multiple listviews in single activity. But only one listview should be displayed at one time. The listviews will be loaded dynamically. So, how can I fill all the four listviews at the same time and display only one?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get a specific layout for more than two days now and really struck with it, what am trying to achieve is: To have a layout like the following
LISTVIEW A

LISTVIEW B

LISTVIEW C
(VIEWS are basically for headers) Can any one help to sort out this task?
I want to have multiple listviews in my activity. Every listview will have a different adapter and every item in the listview must be clickable (other actions for every listview).
So my problem now is that I can't create multiple clickable listviews. I have one listview like this <ListView android:id="@android:id/ list".. and the other listview looks like this <ListView android:id="@+id/ flightList"
The first listview looks like this in my activity hotelList = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
the second: listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.flightList);
I can click on the first list and it does what it has to do, but i cant do anything with the second list.. probably because it hasn't the android:id/list declaration. does someone knows how I can solve this problem or other suggestions how I can get multiple lists in 1 activity.
I have a ListView that is populated using an XML file. However, I want each item, when clicked, to start a new Activity related to that item. I understand how to use OnItemClick to start a Toast that shows the selected item's text. However, since the ListView is populated from an XML there is not a specific Id for each item in the list. So, how would I associate an Activity with each item in the ListView when the items do not have Ids?

The problem:
I have 2 Listviews and a onClick event handler.
How can i find out on which listview the user currently clicked?
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
'Approach: if listview1 is clicked then FUNCTION1() else FUNCTION2()'}

If anyone knows the solution then please share it over here. I hope to get a quick response.
I am just getting started with the Android SDK and I had a quick question. I am trying to set up a ListView with a rectangle of color on the left and then a bit of text for each row. I also want to make it so I can click each entry in the list and open a new activity to display some information (similar to the contact list).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to design a UI which utlizes two ListViews on the screen at the same time. Is this possible ?
So here is a quick example of how I was intending to do this.
1) Create an XML which positions 2 ListViews one onto of the other each ListView having there own ID
<ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="198px"
I'm trying to put 2 listviews into my layout. The problem is that I don't know the size of each listview in advance. The first listview could have a few items (0, 1, 2 up to roughly 10) and the second listview could have many items (up to 100).
I tried to set the weight of both listviews at 1 but it did not work:
=> If the first listview has only 1 item and the second one 99, you don't see the first item of listview #1 => it's shrinks so much (relative to listview #2) that you don't see it.
So I'm thinking now to split the screen in 2 equals parts (no matter what/no matter the size of each listview) and put the two listviews in each part. Of course it needs to work on any device ... so how do I capture the device screen size, divide it in two and force the listview size to fit in each half of the screen ?
Has anyone done that already ? Is there another option to show two listviews of different sizes on the same layout (should I use a scrollview in some way ? => when the user is reaching the end of the first listview, the second listview appears => is that possible ?)
example scenario is: from login screen - main screen - then when i clicked a hide button inside the mainscreen, the app will need to go in the home screen, and when im going to click the app again the main screen would be called and not the login screen

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a TabActivity, and each Tab corresponds to its own Activity. In one of them, in the onCreate method, I use startActivityForResult to show a dialog (specifically, Bump's BumpAPI activity).
code:...............
The problem is that when the screen orientation changes, it tries to create the tab's activity again which makes another BumpAPI dialog, resulting in multiple stacked on top of each other. Do I have a hook into the started activity to cancel the previous one when the orientation changes?
A workaround seems to be to add a button that when clicked, starts the second activity, but that adds an unnecessary step.
Also, I can't fix the screen orientation for the entire tabActivity because some of them require typing and users may want to use their physical keyboards.
I used Toast to make notification, but it seems it will appear even its activity is not in the current screen and some other activity has been started.I want to check this situation, when the activity is not the current one, I'd not send the Toast notification. But how to do ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView, and within each list item I have some TextViews and a CheckBox. When I check a CheckBox and my onCheckedChangeListener fires, everything works as it should. However, random other checkboxes get checked once one is checked. Here is an example.
If I click on the first CheckBox:
8 is checked.
15 is checked.
21 is checked.
27 is checked.
33 is checked.
41 is checked.
Then if I scroll all the way up, none are checked until 6. The next being 13.
I'm trying to figure out how it's been designed. How it holds its items? How do I get a hold of the scrolling container? How can I know it's exact scrolling position? How can I scroll it to an exact position?
I want to have all the current benefits the ListView provides plus detailed scrolling control... How about animating from x to x+100 scroll position?
Maybe I need to create my own ListView? Where do I begin?
Firstly, I have found many examples of how to grab data from a db and place it into a list, however this seems to be all for ListActivites.
My list is part of the UI and therefore I can't use a ListActivity because it does not consume the whole screen (or can I?).
This is the UI:
CODE:........
So, from what ive read I need to grab the data from the db, then place it into some sort of array then use an array adapter to fill the list view. Is that correct? If so, is there some sample code because all I can find is code releated to ListActivites.
I am writing a software that i have to drill down on content a lot. For example when the program starts a listview is displayed. When user clicks on an item, then a second listview must be displayed. For example:
Select Continent > Select Country > Select State > Select City > Select Address
What is the best way to do this (less memory, faster, easier to code etc)? To create multiple listviews with multiple adapters? Or 1 listview with multiple Adapters? Lists are loaded from an external XML File.
So far i am creating a new adapter and setting it to the listview. How do i create a second listview and after clicking on 1st listview displaying the second one, with animation. Any examples? Extend my class to ListActivity or Activity?
Hello, I need to put several listviews inner a LinearLayout. The Listviews should be wrap content to adapt the listview to their items. I need have one only scroll with which I can scroll all the listviews. I know that i can't use a scrollview because the listviews have their own scroll (but i don't need the scrolls of the listviews because i have them in wrap-content). I thought maybe puting the listviews inside the LinearLayout I will hadn't problems with the scrollview, but it didn't work, the LinearLayout was fixed to the screen, the scrollview didn't appear and the listviews ended scrollable. Without the scrollview if i have the list in wrap-content, their shown properly but i haven't any scroll and i can't see the lisviews below the screen. Really i have had this bug for one month and i haven't found any solution,
My code:

How you can see i create the lisviews dinamically and i put indside the layout with a secttion header. if you have some doubt ask me I need find a solution soon.

I wish to work with checked list views wherein only one item can be selected at a time. Some queries related to this:
1) Is it advised to work with CheckedTextView as the ListView items, or a combination of CheckBox and TextView?
2) If using CheckedTextView, the text comes first and the checkbox appears on right edge. Is it possible to make the checkbox come on the left of the TextView?
3) How can I make one of the items as checked in onCreate()?
I am using array adapter and calling setAdapter() to populate list.
Just looking at options for data updating affecting items in a ListView and have hit a few issues/queries.
There seems to only be notifyDataSetChanged() and notifyDataSetInvalidated(). While I could use notifyDataSetChanged() I am most likely in my case to have the scenario where additional data has been added and it seems inefficient to say the data has changed, which can only be resolved by calling getCount() and then getView() for all displayed items where knowing the data has been appended would just require adjusting the scrollbar. Is there some way to achieve something similar to this as the market seems happy populating dynamically in a manner that seems to reflect my desired behaviour (unless it just refreshes it all that fast).
Next question is the situation where the data behind just one item has changed. For instance I may wish to download icons in a background thread, but display available information with a placeholder icon. The best idea I've had so far is to store a map of indexes and views in my adapter which I can check against then call getView directly myself to have the view recycled with the new data. I'd just need additional logic to handle removing the map when the view gets destroyed or when it's recycled in getView. Either a bi-directional map (do we have one of those?) or two maps. Is the above likely to be my best approach or is there something built-in/better to get it done.
In my app, I have different activities with listviews. The datas come from a server with a REST method, and it's only done once, when I start the application.
The pattern that I'd like to set is to precharge all the listviews with the JSONs that I already have in local, and in parallel, launch a thread that get the new JSONs files with my REST methods, and then update the listviews.
For now, when I start the app, I parse my JSONs files, and build all the lists of objects. I access them later in a static way, from my lists adapters.
So I would like to know the best way to launch this REST thread, and update the listview. Should I use AsyncTask ? A service ? and then, when I update my local JSONs, I have to re-parse them, updates the lists of object, and call in my adapters NotifyDataChanged ?
I'm not looking for exact code here, just a direction on what to look for and what I should be reading about so I can figure this out. I have a layout that I would like to remain static, with only the listview changing depending on what's selected from the list. I've reloaded data in the list, but I would like the fancy transition animations between choices, and would like the app to go to the previous menu when pressing back.
Someone suggested using a viewswitcher, which seems like it'd be great, but I am still unsure about how to fill a listview in a layout with a regular row layout, then on selection do an animated transition to a custom row. Also, it seems the viewswitcher is limited to two views, so it may be a limitation when I want to go a few menus deeper. Preferably, I'd like to put each menu in it's own class so that I can handle filling it in that class, if possible...
I guess my previous question wasn't clear enough ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2549585/android-failed-to-setcontentview-when-switching-to-listactivity ), so I explain as follows.
In my app I have two listactivities which uses two different listviews:
CODE:.......
As required by android, listview must have an ID which is exactly "@android:id/list". If I set the listview in both listview1 and listview2 with the same ID, then they will end up using the same format of listview, which is not what I want. But if I set one of the IDs to be sth like "@+id/listview2", android gave me the error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'
My listview is sort of complicated, customed list with image icons and text, so in my code, I also extended the ListAdapter:
CODE:........
I'm having a several issues with ListViews.
The first problem is the layout that I use for every row of the listview. When I click in a row I've programmed that it expands with some other views. All works fine, but when I try to click again for shrink it, it seems that it's no focusable and doesn't highlight and, of course, it doesn't shrink. If I change the deprecated singleLine in the XML to inputType="text" all works fine but the row never highlithts.
The second problem goes when I try the method that Romain Guy said about the RelativeLayouts and the alignwithParentIfMissing. No matter whatever I try, but it seems impossible to implement in a ListView.
Another problem is with ellipsize, but it looks is a Android SDK bug and only works fine if I set singleLine in the attributes of the TextView
Well, I hope someone can helps me. I put the code of the listview and the XML of the layout. If you need some more code or information, as if you find any improvement or error.
CODE:..............
About the response of adamp, I've done this:
CODE:.......................
And finally, I have this listener:
CODE:..........
Once I've done that, there is no change about the behaviour of the listview. But I noticed that only I can expand the row clicking in the textview, if I click inside the row but in a empty area nothing happens.
This application I've been working on has databases with multiple megabytes of data to sift through. A lot of the activities are just ListViews descending through various levels of data within the databases until we reach "documents", which is just HTML to be pulled from the DB(s) and displayed on the phone. The issue I am having is that some of these activities need to have the ability to search through the databases by capturing keystrokes and re-running the query with a "like %blah%" in it. This works reasonably quickly except when the user is first loading the data and when the user first enters a keystroke. I am using a ResourceCursorAdapter and I am generating the cursor in a background thread, but in order to do a listAdapter.changeCursor(), I have to use a Handler to post it to the main UI thread. This particular call is then freezing the UI thread just long enough to bring up the dreaded ANR dialog. I'm curious how I can offload this to a background thread totally so the user interface remains responsive and we don't have ANR dialogs popping up.
Just for full disclosure, I was originally returning an ArrayList of custom model objects and using an ArrayAdapter, but (understandably) the customer pointed out it was bad memory-manangement and I wasn't happy with the performance anyways. I'd really like to avoid a solution where I'm generating huge lists of objects and then doing a listAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged/Invalidated()
Here is the code in question:

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my ListActivity, I need header and footer views (on the top and bottom of the list) to be used as previous page and next page buttons on my list, respectively, because I want to display only 20 items at a time.
I set my header and foot views by doing:
CODE:............
This works fine, but I need to dynamically remove and add these header and footer views, because some pages of my list may not have a next page button or a previous page button.
The problem is, I cannot call addHeaderView or addFooterView after I have called setListAdapter.
The Twitter application for Android has a nice way of refreshing the listview by pulling down and automatically refreshing the data source.
