Implement click only on image not on text in custom listview

I have a custom Listview where it contains image & text and implemented the OnItemClickListener for list which should work only for image not for text. OnItemClick is working fine for image but there is a Fatal Exception when i click on text. Additionally image will be visible in list if it exists else it will be hide.
Tried with android:focusable="false", android:clickable="false" but still i am getting the below exception
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.graphics.Bitmap com.bumptech.glide.load.resource.bitmap.GlideBitmapDrawable.getBitmap()' on a null object reference
OnItemClick:
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
final ImageView imageView1 = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imageList);
final GlideBitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = (GlideBitmapDrawable) imageView1.getDrawable();
final Bitmap yourBitmap = bitmapDrawable.getBitmap();
Dialog builder = new Dialog(this);
builder.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
builder.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(
new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
builder.setOnDismissListener(new DialogInterface.OnDismissListener() {
#Override
public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialogInterface) {
//nothing;
}
});
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
imageView.setImageBitmap(yourBitmap);
builder.addContentView(imageView, new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
builder.show();
}
How can i implement click only on image?

In your custom layout xml, set
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
to your root layout.
Edit
Check my Custom ListView.

This should helps you.
Happy coding.!!!

use a recyclerview.
a recylerview handles every list item as a view, it can hold clicklisteners for every view it holds and that view can hold clicklisteners for every view its holding.

Android: Custom listview with imageview and textview [duplicate]

I want to create a custom adapter for my list view. Is there any article that can walk me through how to create one and also explain how it works?

public class ListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Item> {
private int resourceLayout;
private Context mContext;
public ListAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<Item> items) {
super(context, resource, items);
this.resourceLayout = resource;
this.mContext = context;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = convertView;
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi;
vi = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
v = vi.inflate(resourceLayout, null);
}
Item p = getItem(position);
if (p != null) {
TextView tt1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.id);
TextView tt2 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.categoryId);
TextView tt3 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.description);
if (tt1 != null) {
tt1.setText(p.getId());
}
if (tt2 != null) {
tt2.setText(p.getCategory().getId());
}
if (tt3 != null) {
tt3.setText(p.getDescription());
}
}
return v;
}
}
This is a class I had used for my project. You need to have a collection of your items which you want to display, in my case it's <Item>. You need to override View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) method.
R.layout.itemlistrow defines the row of the ListView.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/TableRow01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:id="#+id/id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="id" android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="left"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:typeface="monospace"
android:height="40sp" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TextView android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:id="#+id/categoryId"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="categoryId"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:height="20sp" />
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:gravity="right"
android:id="#+id/description"
android:text="description"
android:height="20sp" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
In the MainActivity define ListViewlike this,
ListView yourListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.itemListView);
// get data from the table by the ListAdapter
ListAdapter customAdapter = new ListAdapter(this, R.layout.itemlistrow, List<yourItem>);
yourListView .setAdapter(customAdapter);

I know this has already been answered... but I wanted to give a more complete example.
In my example, the ListActivity that will display our custom ListView is called OptionsActivity, because in my project this Activity is going to display the different options my user can set to control my app. There are two list item types, one list item type just has a TextView and the second list item type just has a Button. You can put any widgets you like inside each list item type, but I kept this example simple.
The getItemView() method checks to see which list items should be type 1 or type 2. According to my static ints I defined up top, the first 5 list items will be list item type 1, and the last 5 list items will be list item type 2. So if you compile and run this, you will have a ListView that has five items that just contain a Button, and then five items that just contain a TextView.
Below is the Activity code, the activity xml file, and an xml file for each list item type.
OptionsActivity.java:
public class OptionsActivity extends ListActivity {
private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1 = 0;
private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_2 = 1;
private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_COUNT = 2;
private static final int LIST_ITEM_COUNT = 10;
// The first five list items will be list item type 1
// and the last five will be list item type 2
private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1_COUNT = 5;
private MyCustomAdapter mAdapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mAdapter = new MyCustomAdapter();
for (int i = 0; i < LIST_ITEM_COUNT; i++) {
if (i < LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1_COUNT)
mAdapter.addItem("item type 1");
else
mAdapter.addItem("item type 2");
}
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
}
private class MyCustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<String> mData = new ArrayList<String>();
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
public MyCustomAdapter() {
mInflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
public void addItem(final String item) {
mData.add(item);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override

if(position < LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1_COUNT)
return LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1;
else
return LIST_ITEM_TYPE_2;
}
#Override

return LIST_ITEM_TYPE_COUNT;
}
#Override

convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_type1, null);
holder.textView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.list_item_type1_text_view);
break;
case LIST_ITEM_TYPE_2:
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_type2, null);
holder.textView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.list_item_type2_button);
break;
}
convertView.setTag(holder);

return convertView;

Google has an example called EfficientAdapter, which in my opinion is the best simple example of how to implement custom adapters. http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/List14.html
#CommonsWare has written a good explanation of the patterns used in the above example
http://commonsware.com/Android/excerpt.pdf

check this link, in very simple via the convertView, we can get the layout of a row which will be displayed in listview (which is the parentView).
View v = convertView;
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi;
vi = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
v = vi.inflate(R.layout.itemlistrow, null);
}
using the position, you can get the objects of the List<Item>.
Item p = items.get(position);
after that we'll have to set the desired details of the object to the identified form widgets.
if (p != null) {
TextView tt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.id);
TextView tt1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.categoryId);
TextView tt3 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.description);
if (tt != null) {
tt.setText(p.getId());
}
if (tt1 != null) {
tt1.setText(p.getCategory().getId());
}
if (tt3 != null) {
tt3.setText(p.getDescription());
}
}
then it will return the constructed view which will be attached to the parentView (which is a ListView/GridView).

public class DataModel {
String name;
String type;

public DataModel(String name, String type, String version_number, String feature ) {

You can take a look at this sample in the official ApiDemos. It shows how to extend BaseAdapter and apply it to a ListView. After that, just look at the reference for BaseAdapter and try to understand what each method does (including the inherited ones) and when/how to use it.
Also, Google is your friend :).

Here is the complete walk through to create a custom adapter for list view step by step -
https://www.caveofprogramming.com/guest-posts/custom-listview-with-imageview-and-textview-in-android.html
public class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
String [] result;
Context context;
int [] imageId;
private static LayoutInflater inflater=null;
public CustomAdapter(MainActivity mainActivity, String[] prgmNameList, int[] prgmImages) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
result=prgmNameList;
context=mainActivity;
imageId=prgmImages;
inflater = ( LayoutInflater )context.
getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return result.length;
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return position;
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return position;
}
public class Holder
{
TextView tv;
ImageView img;
}
#Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Holder holder=new Holder();
View rowView;
rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.program_list, null);
holder.tv=(TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
holder.img=(ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
holder.tv.setText(result[position]);
holder.img.setImageResource(imageId[position]);
rowView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(context, "You Clicked "+result[position], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
return rowView;
}
}

A more compact example of a custom adapter (using list array as my data):
class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Object> {
public ArrayAdapter(Context context, List<MyObject> objectList) {
super(context, R.layout.my_list_item, R.id.textViewTitle, objectList.toArray());
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View row = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
TextView title = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textViewTitle);
ImageView icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.imageViewAccessory);
MyObject obj = (MyObject) getItem(position);
icon.setImageBitmap( ... );
title.setText(obj.name);
return row;
}
}
And this is how to use it:
List<MyObject> objectList = ...
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(this.getActivity(), objectList);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

BaseAdapter is best custom adapter for listview.
Class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter{}
and it has many functions such as getCount(), getView() etc.

It is very simple.

Custom List View with OnClickListener

I have custom ListView layout with a TextView and CheckBox. Everything works fine.
What I want is, when I click on the CheckBox or TextView (on the single View from ListView) both should behave like one object. (I can click on the CheckBox and it does not effect the TextView and TextView has no effect on CheckBox.) Code has no problem.
I have implemented all possible solutions but problem is still there. (One single click on every object of list should consider ONE COMPLETE CLICK for complete row.) I hope I explained very well.
MAIN ACTIVITY
package com.example.smsplanner;
public class SMSPlanner extends ListActivity {
ListView contactsListView;
private String TAG = "SMSPlanner"; CheckBox check;
int count;
List<ContactInfo> list = new ArrayList<ContactInfo>();
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ph = new String[3];
phType = new String[3];
LoadContactListFromPhone();
ContactsAdapter contactadAdapter = new ContactsAdapter(this, list);
getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
setListAdapter(contactadAdapter);
}
#Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView parent, View v, int position, long id)
{
TextView tx =(TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.firstname);
TextView ph =(TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.phone);
Toast.makeText(this, tx.getText().toString() + " " + ph.getText().toString() + " " + Integer.toString(count), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
final class ContactHolder{
TextView txtviewfirstname;
CheckBox chkselected;
TextView txtviewphone;
}
void LoadContactListFromPhone()
{
loadlistandreturns();
}
void call()
{
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Called...",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
}
CUSTOM ADAPTER

1. Bydefault all the Rows of the ListView are enabled to listen to click....
You must implement onItemClickListener() for the ListView....
See this example:
http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-listview-example/

you can use a CheckedTextView, or you can create a Checkable Layout, like this one :
http://tokudu.com/2010/android-checkable-linear-layout/

i think you should make adapter as
public class ContactsAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
ArrayList<ContactInfo> mlist;
Context mcontext;
public BluetoothChatadpter(Context context,ArrayList<ChatInfo> mchtlist) {
mlist = mchtlist;
mcontext = context;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mlist.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int postion) {
return mlist.get(postion);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertview, ViewGroup viewgroup){
View view = null;
if(convertview == null){
LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.contactrow, null);
ContactHolder holder = new ContactHolder();
holder.txtviewfirstname = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.firstname);
holder.txtviewphone = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.phone);
holder.chkselected = (CheckBox)view.findViewById(R.id.check);
setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// to open the selected file in resp
// do your work here
}});
chkselected .setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Toast.makeText(context,// "checked is clicke="+pos, 12).show();
if (chkselected.isChecked())
{
// do your work here
} else {
// do your work here
}
}
});
view.setTag(holder);
}
else{
view = convertview;
}
ContactHolder holder2 = (ContactHolder) view.getTag();
holder2.txtviewfirstname.setText(list.get(position).firstname);
holder2.txtviewphone.setText(list.get(position).phonenumber);
holder2.chkselected.setChecked(list.get(position).selected);
return view;
}
}

The visibility of the items change when scrolled ListView

I am using a list view and an adapter for loading a list,each list item has a TextView,EditText and Image..I set the visibility of the arrow and the Edit text according to the position of the list row,everything works fine when I load the list for the first time...
But when I scroll through the list,visibility of the items keep changing...Kindly help me in this issue...The relevant codes has been attached...

final AddParkingLotAdapter adapter = new AddParkingLotAdapter(mAppContext,0,listItems);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
Java code...adapter
public class AddParkingLotAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private ArrayList<String> mStrings;
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
private AppContext mContext;
private static int NON_EMPTY_ROW = 1;
private static int EMPTY_ROW = 0;
public AddParkingLotAdapter(Context context, int resId, List<String> strings) {
super(context, resId,strings);
mStrings = (ArrayList<String>) strings;
mContext = (AppContext) context;
mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
#Override
public int getViewTypeCount() {
return 2;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mStrings.size();
}
#Override
public String getItem(int position) {
return mStrings.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
if(position==7||position==9||position==11){
return EMPTY_ROW;
}else{
return NON_EMPTY_ROW;
}
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
TextView itemTextView = null;
//different inflations for different type rows..
if(getItemViewType(position) == EMPTY_ROW){
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.review_empty_row, null);
}
}else if(getItemViewType(position) == NON_EMPTY_ROW){
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.add_parkinglist_item, null);
}
itemTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textview_add_lot_list);
itemTextView.setText(mStrings.get(position));
if (position==3||position==8||position==10||position==12){
ImageView itemImageView = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.imageview_arrow_add_lot_list);
itemImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
EditText editText = (EditText)convertView.findViewById(R.id.et_add_lot_list);
editText.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
}
return convertView;
}
}

In this code:
if (position==3||position==8||position==10||position==12){
ImageView itemImageView = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.imageview_arrow_add_lot_list);
itemImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
EditText editText = (EditText)convertView.findViewById(R.id.et_add_lot_list);
editText.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
you've got no else clause. That means that if position is 0,1,2,4,5 or 6 you don't explicitly set the visibility of the views and so the visibility will be whatever it was set to when the views were recycled. If convertView is non-null, you always need to reset the visibility of any items whose visibility may be been modified earlier.

Custom Adapter for List View

I want to create a custom adapter for my list view. Is there any article that can walk me through how to create one and also explain how it works?

public class ListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Item> {
private int resourceLayout;
private Context mContext;
public ListAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<Item> items) {
super(context, resource, items);
this.resourceLayout = resource;
this.mContext = context;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = convertView;
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi;
vi = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
v = vi.inflate(resourceLayout, null);
}
Item p = getItem(position);
if (p != null) {
TextView tt1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.id);
TextView tt2 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.categoryId);
TextView tt3 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.description);
if (tt1 != null) {
tt1.setText(p.getId());
}
if (tt2 != null) {
tt2.setText(p.getCategory().getId());
}
if (tt3 != null) {
tt3.setText(p.getDescription());
}
}
return v;
}
}
This is a class I had used for my project. You need to have a collection of your items which you want to display, in my case it's <Item>. You need to override View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) method.
R.layout.itemlistrow defines the row of the ListView.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/TableRow01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:id="#+id/id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="id" android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="left"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:typeface="monospace"
android:height="40sp" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TextView android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:id="#+id/categoryId"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="categoryId"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:height="20sp" />
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:gravity="right"
android:id="#+id/description"
android:text="description"
android:height="20sp" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
In the MainActivity define ListViewlike this,
ListView yourListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.itemListView);
// get data from the table by the ListAdapter
ListAdapter customAdapter = new ListAdapter(this, R.layout.itemlistrow, List<yourItem>);
yourListView .setAdapter(customAdapter);

I know this has already been answered... but I wanted to give a more complete example.
In my example, the ListActivity that will display our custom ListView is called OptionsActivity, because in my project this Activity is going to display the different options my user can set to control my app. There are two list item types, one list item type just has a TextView and the second list item type just has a Button. You can put any widgets you like inside each list item type, but I kept this example simple.
The getItemView() method checks to see which list items should be type 1 or type 2. According to my static ints I defined up top, the first 5 list items will be list item type 1, and the last 5 list items will be list item type 2. So if you compile and run this, you will have a ListView that has five items that just contain a Button, and then five items that just contain a TextView.
Below is the Activity code, the activity xml file, and an xml file for each list item type.
OptionsActivity.java:
public class OptionsActivity extends ListActivity {
private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1 = 0;
private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_2 = 1;
private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_COUNT = 2;
private static final int LIST_ITEM_COUNT = 10;
// The first five list items will be list item type 1
// and the last five will be list item type 2
private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1_COUNT = 5;
private MyCustomAdapter mAdapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mAdapter = new MyCustomAdapter();
for (int i = 0; i < LIST_ITEM_COUNT; i++) {
if (i < LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1_COUNT)
mAdapter.addItem("item type 1");
else
mAdapter.addItem("item type 2");
}
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
}
private class MyCustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<String> mData = new ArrayList<String>();
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
public MyCustomAdapter() {
mInflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
public void addItem(final String item) {
mData.add(item);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}

Google has an example called EfficientAdapter, which in my opinion is the best simple example of how to implement custom adapters. http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/List14.html
#CommonsWare has written a good explanation of the patterns used in the above example
http://commonsware.com/Android/excerpt.pdf

check this link, in very simple via the convertView, we can get the layout of a row which will be displayed in listview (which is the parentView).
View v = convertView;
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi;
vi = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
v = vi.inflate(R.layout.itemlistrow, null);
}
using the position, you can get the objects of the List<Item>.
Item p = items.get(position);
after that we'll have to set the desired details of the object to the identified form widgets.
if (p != null) {
TextView tt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.id);
TextView tt1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.categoryId);
TextView tt3 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.description);
if (tt != null) {
tt.setText(p.getId());
}
if (tt1 != null) {
tt1.setText(p.getCategory().getId());
}
if (tt3 != null) {
tt3.setText(p.getDescription());
}
}
then it will return the constructed view which will be attached to the parentView (which is a ListView/GridView).

Data Model
public class DataModel {
String name;
String type;
String version_number;
String feature;
public DataModel(String name, String type, String version_number, String feature ) {
this.name=name;
this.type=type;
this.version_number=version_number;
this.feature=feature;
}
public String getName() {

You can take a look at this sample in the official ApiDemos. It shows how to extend BaseAdapter and apply it to a ListView. After that, just look at the reference for BaseAdapter and try to understand what each method does (including the inherited ones) and when/how to use it.
Also, Google is your friend :).

Here is the complete walk through to create a custom adapter for list view step by step -
https://www.caveofprogramming.com/guest-posts/custom-listview-with-imageview-and-textview-in-android.html
public class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
String [] result;
Context context;
int [] imageId;
private static LayoutInflater inflater=null;
public CustomAdapter(MainActivity mainActivity, String[] prgmNameList, int[] prgmImages) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
result=prgmNameList;
context=mainActivity;
imageId=prgmImages;
inflater = ( LayoutInflater )context.
getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return result.length;
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return position;
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return position;
}
public class Holder
{
TextView tv;
ImageView img;
}
#Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Holder holder=new Holder();
View rowView;
rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.program_list, null);
holder.tv=(TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
holder.img=(ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
holder.tv.setText(result[position]);
holder.img.setImageResource(imageId[position]);
rowView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(context, "You Clicked "+result[position], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
return rowView;
}
}

A more compact example of a custom adapter (using list array as my data):
class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Object> {
public ArrayAdapter(Context context, List<MyObject> objectList) {
super(context, R.layout.my_list_item, R.id.textViewTitle, objectList.toArray());
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View row = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
TextView title = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textViewTitle);
ImageView icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.imageViewAccessory);
MyObject obj = (MyObject) getItem(position);
icon.setImageBitmap( ... );
title.setText(obj.name);
return row;
}
}
And this is how to use it:
List<MyObject> objectList = ...
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(this.getActivity(), objectList);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

BaseAdapter is best custom adapter for listview.
Class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter{}
and it has many functions such as getCount(), getView() etc.

It is very simple.
