Android Studio - removing table row programmatically

I have created a table dynamically from an array list
for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.size(); i++) {
TextView name = new TextView(this);
TextView time = new TextView(this);
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
// Set event name and remaining time
name.setText(arrayList.get(i).name);
time.setText("...");
// Add text views to row
row.addView(time, layoutParams);
row.addView(name, layoutParams);
// Add row to table
tableLayout.addView(row, i);
}
Now if I want to edit or remove certain rows under a condition, I will have to access that row, but how?
outerloop:
for(int i = 0; i < arrayList.size(); i++ ) {
if(// row's time <= 0 ...) {
tableLayout.removeViewAt(i); // this doesn't seem to work properly
// it removes the wrong rows
}
else {
// ...
break outerloop;
}
}
For some reason tableLayout.removeViewAt(i); removes the incorrect row. Alternatively, I'd prefer to edit that row's name, but the principle applies, I just need to find a way to access the table row. Any way?

Create your table like this:
ArrayList<TableRow> rows = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.size(); i++) {
TextView name = new TextView(this);
TextView time = new TextView(this);
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
rows.add(row);
// Set event name and remaining time
name.setText(arrayList.get(i).name);
time.setText("...");
// Add text views to row
row.addView(time, layoutParams);
row.addView(name, layoutParams);
// Add row to table
tableLayout.addView(row, i);
}
When you want to remove a row now you can do that by it's index in the ArrayList:
row = rows.get(i);
table.removeView(row);
rows.remove(i);
When you want to remove multiple rows this could be a solution for you:
ArrayList<TableRow> removeRows = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i = 0; i < rows.size(); i++) {
if(....) {
removeRows.add(rows.get(i));
}
}
// now delete those rows
for(TableRow remove : removeRows) {
tableLayout.removeView(row);
rows.remove(remove);
}
I hope this works for you!

How to add dynamic layout in existing layout ( Android, JSON )

I have an app in which I am showing data from JSON. I am displaying data in a dynamic textview on the right and left side of the relative layout. Now I want to add this layout in an existing layout so that I can apply an OnClickListener on the textview. Right now I am getting data into a string and then setting that string into static textviews in the left and right side of the layout.
How would it be possible to generate textview dynamically on the basis of number of data I am getting from JSON ?
for (Region object : temp.phonelist.regionList)
{
if (object.getCCInfoShortDesc() != null || !(object.getCCInfoShortDesc().equals(null)))
{
Log.i("nullexception", "nullexception");
holder.tvDescription.setText(object.getCCInfoShortDesc());
holder.tvDescription.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}else {
Log.i("nullexception1", "nullexception1");
holder.tvDescription.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
leftContent += object.getCCInfoLeft() + ":" + "\n";
rightContent += object.getCCInfoRight() + "\n";
}
Log.i("lefftcontent", leftContent);
Log.i("rightcontent", rightContent);
if (leftContent != null) {
holder.tvData2.setText(leftContent);
holder.tvData2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
if (rightContent != null) {
holder.tvData1.setText(rightContent);
holder.tvData1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}

You can do it in this way..
final int Count = < Number of TextViews>; // total number of textviews to add
final TextView[] TextViewsARR = new TextView[N]; // create an empty array;
for (int i = 0; i < Count; i++) {
// create a new textview
final TextView rowTextView = new TextView(this);
// set some properties of rowTextView or something
rowTextView.setText("This is row #" + i);
// add the textview to the linearlayout
myLinearLayout.addView(rowTextView);
// save a reference to the textview for later
TextViewsARR [i] = rowTextView;
}

I have a sample below that generates a checkbox dynamically, If you
observe i am generating the checkbox based on the cursor count.
You can adapt this saple to your needs
Instead of checkbox use a texview
Give any layout like linear, relative etc and generate views
dynamically
private CheckBox chkBoxMealType[] = null;
mCursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT meal_type_id,meal_type_name FROM meal_type_mas", null);
if(mCursor.moveToFirst()){
do{
if(chkBoxMealTypeCnt==0){
chkBoxMealType=new CheckBox[mCursor.getCount()];
}
//create a general view for checkbox
chkBoxMealType[chkBoxMealTypeCnt]= new CheckBox(getActivity());
//Create params for veg-checkbox
//Reason:: we don't need to worry about the data exist in cuisine_type_mas table
chkBoxMealType[chkBoxMealTypeCnt].setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
chkBoxMealType[chkBoxMealTypeCnt].setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.searchGoldLight));
chkBoxMealType[chkBoxMealTypeCnt].setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP,12);
chkBoxMealType[chkBoxMealTypeCnt].setTag(mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(meal_type_mas.COLUMN_MEAL_TYPE_ID)));
chkBoxMealType[chkBoxMealTypeCnt].setText(WordUtils.capitalizeFully(mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(meal_type_mas.COLUMN_MEAL_TYPE_NAME))));
mealTypeContainer.addView(chkBoxMealType[chkBoxMealTypeCnt]);
//since cursor count starts from 0 last count must be allowed
chkBoxMealTypeCnt++;
}while(mCursor.moveToNext());
Log.d("", "");
}
I have another sample..... Download this project(Click Here) and run in your editor
Snapshot::

Firstly you need to add a View in your layout ... Like you may try using LinearLayout or HorizontalLayout ... and then attach/add your dynamic textview to that layout.
Pragmatically you may try like this
packageButtons = new ArrayList<TextView>(); // Create your textview arraylist like this
for(int a = 0; a < your_text_view_from_json.size(); a++){
final TextView rowTextView;
rowTextView = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
rowTextView.setText(taxi_type_spin.get(a).taxi_type);
rowTextView.setTextSize(15);
rowTextView.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lparam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1);
//rowTextView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
packageButtons.add(rowTextView);
rowTextView.setLayoutParams(lparam);
rowTextView.setId(a);
final int b = a;
// get value of clicked item over here ..
rowTextView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Button btn = (Button)v;
String get_value = btn.getText().toString();
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Button name is : " + get_value + " AND ID IS : " + rowTextView.getId(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if(taxi_type_spin.get(b).taxi_type.equalsIgnoreCase(Utils.Hourly_Package))
{
setTaxiType(rowTextView.getId(),true);
ll_spin.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
else
{
setTaxiType(rowTextView.getId(),false);
ll_spin.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
setSelectedButtonColor(b);
}
});
// add the textview to the linearlayout
myLinearLayout.addView(rowTextView);
NOTE rowTextView .. this is your default view attached to your XML file
Hope it helps!

private void setLayout(LinearLayout llayout,
final ArrayList<String> items) {
for (int i = 0; i < items.size(); i++) {
LinearLayout row = null;
LayoutInflater li = getLayoutInflater();
row = (LinearLayout) li.inflate(R.layout.custom_item,
null);
ImageView image = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.image);
llayout.addView(row);
}
}

I would suggest you to use ArrayList, because the class java.util.ArrayList provides resizable-array, which means that items can be added and removed from the list dynamically.
and get value from ArrayList something like this:
for(int i=0; i<arrayList.size(); i++)
{
textName.setText(object.getName());
}

How it is possible to genrate textview dynamically
on the basis of number of data i am getting from json.
You need to create TextView and add it to the parent layout each time you iterate on the forloop. So you will have textView for each of the element of the temp.phonelist.regionList
sample:
for (Region object : temp.phonelist.regionList)
{
TextView tx = new TextView(context); //creating a new instance if textview
//yourstuff goes here
tx.setText(text_you_want);
yourView.addView(tx); //this is to add the textView on each iteration
}

here is your solution do this way,Take one Layout(Linear or Relative) and add control dynamically....
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
TextView txtDemo = new TextView(getActivity());
txtDemo .setTextSize(16);
txtDemo .setLayoutParams(lp);
txtDemo .setId(i);
lp.setMargins(0, 10, 0, 0);
txtDemo .setPadding(20, 10, 10, 10);
txtDemo .setText("Text View"+ i);
linearlayout.addView(txtDemo );
}
}

Adding table rows to TableLayout from code (Remove parent error)

I am trying to add my query results to a table row inside a table layout. I keep getting java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first. When i call:
((ViewGroup)table.getParent()).removeView(table);
I get an null pointer error. Any help on this would be great. Here`s the full code.
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
TableLayout table = (TableLayout)findViewById(R.id.resultstable);
int count = response.getPropertyCount();
System.out.println(count);
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
resultset.add(response.getProperty(i));
}
//TextView tv = new TextView(this);
for(int j = 0; j < resultset.size(); j++)
{
//if(resultset.get(j).toString() == "resFName")
//{
tv.setText(resultset.get(j).toString());
//((ViewGroup)row.getParent()).removeView(row);
row.addView(tv);
//((ViewGroup)table.getParent()).removeView(table);
table.addView(row);
//}
}
}
});

You are adding same TextView object to the row each time. In each iteration, create a new TextView and a TableRow.
for(int j = 0; j < resultset.size(); j++)
{
//if(resultset.get(j).toString() == "resFName")
//{
TextView tv = new TextView(context);
tv.setText(resultset.get(j).toString());
//((ViewGroup)row.getParent()).removeView(row);
TableRow row = new TableRow(context);
row.addView(tv);
//((ViewGroup)table.getParent()).removeView(table);
table.addView(row);
//}
}

You are adding the same view object to the parent. So, you are getting IllegalStateException.
If you seperate child views with "id" attribute, adding will be successful. You can give different ids to the child views via hashcode method.

How to create EditText numeric (signed and unsigned decimal) from java code

this is a loop that creates a table of EditText and I wish they were numerical
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
tableRow = new TableRow(this); //oggetto di tipo tableRow
tableRow.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
for (int j = 0; j < 3 ; j++) {
values[i][j] = new EditText(this);
values[i][j].setText(" " + array[count]);
values[i][j].setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);//spaziatura di ogni cella per i quattro lati
tableRow.addView(values[i][j]);
count++;
}
tableLayout.addView(tableRow);
}

values[i][j].setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
you can use the above line of code
Update try the below and thier combination
I've tried combining flags (in desperation to see if it would work):
values[i][j].setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
values[i][j].setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL)
values[i][j].setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED)
refer this link for more inputtypes

how to store multiple dynamic edittext value in android

I have multiple dynamic editTextBox. I want to know how can I store all its edit textbox value?
what should I write in all edit box that should be I want a store on button click event.
My code is below:
for(i = 0 ;i < 6; i++) {
TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
TableRow tr1 = new TableRow(this);
TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
editText1 = new EditText(this);
editText1.setWidth(300);
tr.addView(tv1);
tbl.addView(tr);
tr1.addView(editText1);
tbl.addView(tr1);
}

Here is the code.
EditText[] editText1 = new EditText[6];
for(i = 0 ;i < 6; i++) {
TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
TableRow tr1 = new TableRow(this);
TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
editText1[i] = new EditText(this);
editText1[i].setWidth(300);
tr.addView(tv1);
tbl.addView(tr);
tr1.addView(editText1[i]);
tbl.addView(tr1);
}
public void onClick(View v)
{
for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
{
Log.i("----value of EditText:"+i,"."+editText1[i].getText().toString());
}
}

A direct answer to your question would be:
remember your textviews when you create them (add them to an ArrayList for example)
the onPause() method of your activity is the place to retain any information you want available later (android framework can finish() your activity anytime when it's paused).
in an overrided onPause() method, cycle through your ArrayList<TextView>, retrieve each TextView content and store them for later use. (If you have a fixed number of TextViews, you may consider using SharedPreferences, but take a look at the remainder of this article to see if something better suits your needs.
You can then use onCreate() or onResume() method to repopulate your TextViews before your application shows up.
An indirect, possibly better, answer would be to separate data from UI by using a data management class that would handle saving restoring and modifying your data and a customized Adapter which would be responsible of filling the TextViews. This way you can easily change the later to address different widgets.

I wrote these codes without using editor, check it before using
String sValues="";
for (int i = 0; i < tbl.getChildCount(); i++) {
TableRow row = (TableRow)tbl.getChildAt(i);
for (int j = 0; j < row.getChildCount(); j++) {
if(row.getChildAt(j) instanceof EditText){
EditText editText1 = (EditText)row.getChildAt(j);
sValues += editText1.getText().toString();
}
}
}
