How to get selected radio button text from radio group in array list in android

I have created Recycler view with header. And added items with dynamic radio button.
Here is my xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:weightSum="1"
android:padding="#dimen/header_padding1"
android:id="#+id/ac_ll"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<RadioGroup
android:id="#+id/ic_radio_grp"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.75"
android:visibility="gone"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/header_padding" />
<!--<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/checkbox_container"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:multi_select="false"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/header_padding"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.75"/>-->
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/ic_checkbox_grp"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:multi_select="false"
app:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/header_padding"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:text="ds"
android:textColor="#color/rippile_color"
android:textColorHint="#color/rippile_color"
android:layout_weight="0.75" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/price_txt"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:maxLines="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textColor="#color/rippile_color"
android:textColorHint="#color/rippile_color" />
</LinearLayout>
And my adapter is
public class AddCartItemChoiceAdapter extends
RecyclerView.Adapter<AddCartItemChoiceAdapter.ACItemViewHolder> {
private final Context context;
public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> arrayList;

});
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {

}
class ACItemViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView priceTxt;
public RadioGroup icRadioGrp;
public CheckBox icCheckboxGrp;
public LinearLayout acLL;
public ACItemViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
icRadioGrp = itemView.findViewById(R.id.ic_radio_grp);
icCheckboxGrp = itemView.findViewById(R.id.ic_checkbox_grp);
priceTxt = itemView.findViewById(R.id.price_txt);
}
}
}
I have tried to do two things here.
Select any one option from the list
To get the selected radio button text.
I am able to achieve first but I can't get the selected radio button text. Anybody can help me to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

ListView with text and checkbox

I used RelativeLayout for my ListView.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="6dip" >
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/checkBox1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:text="CheckBox" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/test"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/checkBox1"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/checkBox1"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/checkBox1"
android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>
Here is my ListView code,
private void displayList(){
ArrayList<String> diyListArray = new ArrayList<String>();
diyListArray.add("1");
diyListArray.add("2");
diyListArray.add("3");
diyListArray.add("4");
diyListArray.add("5");
diyListArray.add("6");
diyListArray.add("7");
listAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.selectrow, R.id.test, diyListArray);
diyList.setAdapter( listAdapter );
}
We can see here that I used ArrayAdapter with resource id of TextView.
I am able to display the checkboxes and their corresponding texts.
How can I get user selected texts from checkboxes?

Try the following:
Demo10.class:----
public class Demo10 extends AppCompatActivity implements Listener {
private ListView lv;
private boolean[] state_ = new boolean[4];
private String[] text_ = new String[4];
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.demo11);
for(int i = 0 ; i<4 ; i++) {
state_[i] = false;
text_[i] = "text"+i;
}
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv);
lv.setAdapter(new ItemAdapter(Demo10.this , this));// This includes a Listener that listens to onCheckBoxStateChanges.
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { // used to handle ListView onItemClicks and how they should affect the corresponding checkBox
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
CheckBox cb = view.findViewById(R.id.cb);
cb.setChecked(!cb.isChecked());
displayCheckBoxStateText();
}
});
}
private void displayCheckBoxStateText(){
for(int i = 0 ; i<4 ; i++){
Log.e("CheckBox", text_[i]+" : " + state_[i]);
}
}
#Override
public void checkBox1(boolean state) {
state_[0] = state;
displayCheckBoxStateText();
}
#Override
public void checkBox2(boolean state) {
state_[1] = state;
displayCheckBoxStateText();
}
#Override
public void checkBox3(boolean state) {
state_[2] = state;
displayCheckBoxStateText();
}
#Override
public void checkBox4(boolean state) {
state_[3] = state;
displayCheckBoxStateText();
}
}
ItemAdapter.class:-----
public class ItemAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private Context mContext;
private LayoutInflater layoutInflater;
private Listener callback;
public ItemAdapter(Context c , Listener l) {
mContext = c;
callback = l;
layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
public int getCount() {
return s.length;
}
public Object getItem(int position) {
return null;
}
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
CheckBox cb;
View view = convertView;
if (convertView == null) {
if (layoutInflater != null) {
view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.demo10, null);
}
}
cb = view.findViewById(R.id.cb);
cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
callback.checkBox1(isChecked);
break;
case 1:

}
}
});
cb.setText(s[position]);
return view;
}
private String[] s = {
"test1",
"test2",
"test3",
"test4"
};
}

</ListView>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Make choice mode first
listview.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
I am making a button by clicking on it you can retrieve all the items you checked
button.setOnClickListener(this);
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
SparseBooleanArray checked = listview.getCheckedItemPositions();
ArrayList<String> selectedItems = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < checked.size(); i++) {
int position = checked.keyAt(i);
if (checked.valueAt(i))
selectedItems.add(listAdapter.getItem(position));
}
}
here you get all the items checked in your selectedItems ArrayList.

You can override getView() of ArrayAdapter and handles views by yourself. Replace:
listAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.selectrow, R.id.test, diyListArray);
with
listAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.selectrow, diyListArray){
boolean[] checked = new boolean[diyListArray.size()];
#NonNull
#Override
public View getView(final int position, #Nullable View convertView, #NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
if(convertView == null) convertView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.selectrow, null);
TextView textView = convertView.findViewById(R.id.test);
CheckBox checkBox = convertView.findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);
textView.setText(getItem(position));
checkBox.setChecked(checked[position]);
checkBox.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
checked[position] = !checked[position];
String msg = "Checked Item: ";
if(!checked[position]) msg = "Unchecked Item: ";
Toast.makeText(getContext(), msg + getItem(position), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
return convertView;
}
};
I have blog about ListView: http://programandroidlistview.blogspot.com/
Hope that helps!

Remove items from a Custom ListView (Android)

How do I create a neverending listview of list items with checkboxes that can be removed with a delete item button? The answer is below.

In order to create a neverending listview the first thing you need to have is a set of two runnables. These threads will update the array of data in your adapter.
final int itemsPerPage = 100;
ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> listItems = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
boolean loadingMore = false;
int item = 0;
//Since we cant update our UI from a thread this Runnable takes care of that!
public Runnable returnRes = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Loop thru the new items and add them to the adapter
if(groceries.getGroceries().size() > 0){
for(int i=0;i < listItems.size();i++) {
HashMap<String,String> grocery = listItems.get(i);
adapter.add(grocery);
}
//Update the Application title
setTitle("Grocery List with " + String.valueOf(groceries.getGroceries().size()) + " items");
//Tell to the adapter that changes have been made, this will cause the list to refresh
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
//Done loading more.
loadingMore = false;
}
}
};
//Runnable to load the items
public Runnable loadMoreListItems = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Set flag so we cant load new items 2 at the same time
loadingMore = true;
//Reset the array that holds the new items
listItems = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
//Get 8 new listitems
for (int i = 0; i < itemsPerPage; i++) {
if (i < groceries.getGroceries().size()) {
listItems.add(groceries.getGroceries().get(i));
item++;
}
}
//Done! now continue on the UI thread
runOnUiThread(returnRes);
}
};
Then your onCreate() method should look something like this with an array passed to your adapter:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_create_grocery_list);
//add the footer before adding the adapter, else the footer will not load!
View footerView = ((LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE))
.inflate(R.layout.activity_footer_view, null, false);
this.getListView().addFooterView(footerView);
adapter = new ListViewAdapter(this,groceries);
setListAdapter(adapter);
getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
//Here is where the magic happens
this.getListView().setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener(){
//useless here, skip!
#Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {}
//dumdumdum
#Override
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
//what is the bottom iten that is visible
int lastInScreen = firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount;
//is the bottom item visible & not loading more already ? Load more !
if((lastInScreen == totalItemCount) && !loadingMore && item < groceries.getGroceries().size()){
Thread thread = new Thread(null, loadMoreListItems);
thread.start();
}
}
});
}
You will also need a delete method to remove the items with checkboxes and a checkOff method as well. They look like this:
ArrayList<Integer> checkedBoxes = new ArrayList<Integer>();
ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> checkedItems = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
public void deleteItem(View view) {
if (checkedBoxes.size() > 1 || checkedBoxes.size() == 0) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You can only delete one item at a time. Sorry :(", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
} else {
checkedItems.add(groceries.getGroceries().get(checkedBoxes.get(0)));
groceries.getGroceries().removeAll(checkedItems);
checkedBoxes.clear();
try {
groceries.serialize();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),CreateGroceryList.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
public void checkOff(View view) {
CheckBox box = (CheckBox)view;
DataModel d = (DataModel)box.getTag();
if(!checkedBoxes.contains(d.index)) {
checkedBoxes.add(d.index);
} else {
checkedBoxes.remove((Integer)d.index);
}
}
In order to communicate with the adapter it is helpful to have a DataModel class that will model our information. My DataModel has an index variable to keep track of the selected item.
public class DataModel {
int index;
HashMap<String,String> data;
boolean selected;
public DataModel(int i) {
index = i;
data = new HashMap<String,String>();
selected = false;
}
public HashMap<String, String> getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(HashMap<String, String> data) {
this.data = data;
}
public boolean isSelected() {
return selected;
}
public void setSelected(boolean selected) {
this.selected = selected;
}
}
Finally, here is the code for the BaseAdapter:
public class ListViewAdapter extends BaseAdapter {//To create an adapter we have to extend BaseAdapter instead of Activity, or whatever.
private ListActivity activity;
private View vi;
private ArrayList<DataModel> data;
private static LayoutInflater inflater=null;
public ListViewAdapter(ListActivity a, GroceryList g) {
activity = a;
data = new ArrayList<DataModel>();
inflater = (LayoutInflater)activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
groceries = g;
}
public void add(HashMap<String,String> a){
DataModel d = new DataModel(data.size());
d.setData(a);
d.setSelected(false);
data.add(d);
}
public ArrayList<DataModel> getData() {
return data;
}
public int getCount() { //get the number of elements in the listview
return data.size();
}
public Object getItem(int position) { //this method returns on Object by position
return position;
}
public long getItemId(int position) { //get item id by position
return position;
}
public View getView() {
return vi;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { //getView method is the method which populates the listview with our personalized rows
vi=convertView;
final ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder();
if(convertView==null) {
vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row_view, null);
//every item in listview uses xml "listview_row"'s design
holder.name = (CheckBox)vi.findViewById(R.id.name);
holder.price = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.price); // You can enter anything you want, buttons, radiobuttons, images, etc.
holder.quantity = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.quantity);
holder.name
.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
boolean isChecked) {
DataModel element = (DataModel) holder.name
.getTag();
element.setSelected(buttonView.isChecked());
}
});
vi.setTag(holder);
holder.name.setTag(data.get(position));
ViewHolder vholder = (ViewHolder) vi.getTag();
vholder.name.setChecked(data.get(position).isSelected());
HashMap<String, String> hash = new HashMap<String, String>(); //We need a HashMap to store our data for any item
hash = data.get(position).getData();
vholder.name.setText(hash.get("brand") + " " + hash.get("name")); //We personalize our row's items.
vholder.price.setText("$" + hash.get("price"));
vholder.quantity.setText("Quantity: " + hash.get("quantity"));
} else {
vi = convertView;
((ViewHolder) vi.getTag()).name.setTag(data.get(position));
}
if (holder.name == null) {
ViewHolder vholder = (ViewHolder) vi.getTag();
vholder.name.setChecked(data.get(position).isSelected());
HashMap<String, String> hash = new HashMap<String, String>(); //We need a HashMap to store our data for any item
hash = data.get(position).getData();
vholder.name.setText(hash.get("brand") + " " + hash.get("name")); //We personalize our row's items.
vholder.price.setText("$" + hash.get("price"));
vholder.quantity.setText("Quantity: " + hash.get("quantity"));
}
return vi;
}
}
class ViewHolder {
CheckBox name;
TextView price;
TextView quantity;
public CheckBox getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(CheckBox name) {
this.name = name;
}
public TextView getPrice() {
return price;
}
public void setPrice(TextView price) {
this.price = price;
}
public TextView getQuantity() {
return quantity;
}
public void setQuantity(TextView quantity) {
this.quantity = quantity;
}
}
You also need a few xml files in your layout folder this is what they will look like:
You need a footerview that will tell your list when to load new items:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:padding="3dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#id/android:empty"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="Add more grocery items..."/>
A custom row view that is populated by your BaseAdapter:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="CheckBox"
android:focusable="false"
android:textSize="25dip"
android:onClick="checkOff"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/quantity"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="40dip"
android:text="Lastname"
android:textSize="15dip" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/price"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="40dip"
android:text="Lastname"
android:textSize="15dip" />
</LinearLayout>
And a parent view, mine is called create_grocery_list because I'm writing a grocery list editor: This one must contain a ListView with the proper id.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="400dp" >
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
<AbsoluteLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="72dp" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_x="105dp"
android:layout_y="0dp"
android:onClick="deleteItem"
android:text="#string/deleteItem" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_x="8dp"
android:layout_y="0dp"
android:onClick="goToAddItemScreen"
android:text="#string/addItem" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_x="221dp"
android:layout_y="0dp"
android:onClick="scanner"
android:text="#string/scanCode" />
</AbsoluteLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And that's about it... hope this helps anyone. It's the most complete tutorial you'll find.
I learned all this from this tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidListView/article.html#androidlists_overview then added the two runnables to make a neverending grocery list :) have fun programming...

Android - ArrayList<Integer> not displaying properly in custom listVIew

I have a custom listView with three textViews. The data comes from a class with three ArrayLists, two of which are strings and the last one is an Integer. I have no problems populating and adding items to the list as I saw that when I displayed the ArrayList values on logCat via log.d, all three ArrayLists had their respectful items.
It seems to me that there is something wrong with the way I display data.
Here are the files:
list_row_layout.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/variant"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="variant" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/quantity"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="quantity" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/unit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginRight="221dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/quantity"
android:text="unit" />
</RelativeLayout>
Here is the part in my activity_order_form.xml that has the listView element.
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textViewVariantB"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Here is the class where the ArrayList are stored.
public class CurrentOrderClass {
private String productName;
//ArrayLists
private ArrayList<String> variantArray = new ArrayList<String>();
private ArrayList<String> unitArray = new ArrayList<String>();
private ArrayList<Integer> quantityArray = new ArrayList<Integer>();
//TODO ArrayList functions
public ArrayList<String> getUnitArray() {
return unitArray;
}
public void setUnitArray(ArrayList<String> unitArray) {
this.unitArray = unitArray;
}
public void addToUnitArray(String unit){
this.unitArray.add(unit);
}
public ArrayList<Integer> getQuantityArray() {
return quantityArray;
}
public void setQuantityArray(ArrayList<Integer> quantityArray) {
this.quantityArray = quantityArray;
}
public void addToQuantityArray(int quantity){
this.quantityArray.add(quantity);
}
public ArrayList<String> getVariantArray() {
return variantArray;
}
public void setVariantArray(ArrayList<String> variantArray) {
this.variantArray = variantArray;
}
public void addToVariantArray(String variantArray){
this.variantArray.add(variantArray);
}
}
Here is the CustomListAdapter.java file
public class CustomListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<CurrentOrderClass> listData;
private LayoutInflater layoutInflater;
public CustomListAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<CurrentOrderClass> listData) {
this.listData = listData;
layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return listData.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return listData.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row_layout, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.variantView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.variant);
holder.unitView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.unit);
holder.quantityView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.quantity);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.variantView.setText(listData.get(position).getVariantArray().get(position).toString());
holder.unitView.setText(listData.get(position).getUnitArray().get(position).toString());
holder.quantityView.setText(String.valueOf(listData.get(position).getQuantityRow()));
return convertView;
}
static class ViewHolder {
TextView variantView;
TextView unitView;
TextView quantityView;
}
public void setListData(ArrayList<CurrentOrderClass> data){
listData = data;
}
}
This is part of my OrderForm.java activity, this shows the onCreate and the method that populates the listView.
public class OrderForm extends Activity {
public TextView tv;
private int variantPosition;
CustomListAdapter customListAdapter;
CurrentOrderClass currentOrder = new CurrentOrderClass();
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_order_form);
tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textViewProduct);
//set variants here
popolateItem();
//set current order listview here
ArrayList image_details = getListData();
final ListView lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listViewProductOrder);
customListAdapter = new CustomListAdapter(this, image_details);
lv1.setAdapter(customListAdapter);
}
private ArrayList getListData() {
ArrayList results = new ArrayList();
if(currentOrder.getQuantityArray().size() > 10){
loopUntil = currentOrder.getQuantityArray().size();
for(int i = 0; i < loopUntil; i++){
currentOrder.getQuantityArray();
currentOrder.getUnitArray();
currentOrder.getVariantArray();
results.add(currentOrder);
}
}
else{
loopUntil = 10;
for(int i = 0; i < loopUntil; i++){
currentOrder.getQuantityArray().add(i);
currentOrder.getUnitArray().add("Sample text here." + i);
currentOrder.getVariantArray().add("Another sample text here" + i);
results.add(currentOrder);
}
}
return results;
}
}
When I execute a Log.d statement to display the contents of my ArrayLists, it shows that my quantityArray has elements [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9].
I know I can just convert quantityArray to an ArrayList from an ArayList, but I don't want to do that.
I think there's something wrong with my CustomListAdapter.
Any thoughts?

There is no where that you actually set the view, as in, it doesn't do anything, if convertView is null, you can't call any methods of it, convertView, if its is not null, will be ViewHolder in your context, what you need to do is have an object which is extending some type of view, instantiate it, give it methods to set the values, things like that.
For example here is what I use in an adapter that displays simple messages:
public class MessageView extends RelativeLayout {
private TextView mBody;
private String mBodyString = "";
private boolean mDrawn = false;
private boolean mLocal = false;
public MessageView(Context context) {
super(context);
this.drawView();
}
public MessageView(Context context, String body) {
super(context);
mBodyString = body;
this.drawView();
}
public MessageView(Context context, String body, boolean local) {
super(context);
mBodyString = body;
mLocal = local;
this.drawView();
}
private void drawView() {
if (mDrawn)
return;
mDrawn = true;
this.removeAllViews();
LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater) this.getContext()
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);
if(mLocal){
this.addView(li.inflate(R.layout.list_item_message_device, this, false),
params);
}else{
this.addView(li.inflate(R.layout.list_item_message_remote, this, false),
params);
}
mBody = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.tMessage);
mBody.setText(mBodyString);
}
public void setLocal(){
this.setLocal(true);
}
public void setLocal(boolean local){
mLocal = local;
mDrawn = false;
this.drawView();
}
public void setMessage(String body){
mBodyString = body;
mBody.setText(mBodyString);
}
}

I got it.
I changed
holder.quantityView.setText(String.valueOf(listData.get(position).getQuantityRow()));
to
holder.quantityView.setText(String.valueOf(listData.get(position).getQuantityArray().get(position)));

Failing to populate a ListView with an AsyncTask

Trying to get this working... it loads up fine, even tells the application that it completed getting all the data. It does not populate the listview though.
The data response inside mArrayList.toString(): [A, B, C, D]
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private static final String DEBUG_TAG = "MainActivity";
private boolean mAlternateTitle = false;
ListView lv;
private ArrayList<Show> mArrayList;
ShowsAdapter adapter;
AlertDialog mAlertDialog;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mArrayList = new ArrayList<Show>();
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
adapter = new ShowsAdapter(MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mArrayList);
ShowsList show_list = new ShowsList();
show_list.execute();
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new ListClickListener());
}
private class ShowsList extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, List<Show>> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
mAlertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_refresh).setTitle(R.string.fetching_new).show();
}
#Override
protected List<Show> doInBackground(Void... voids) {
final String DEBUG_TAG = "MainActivity$ShowList$doInBackground";
try {
for (Show show : Show.getShows()) {
Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, show.toString());
mArrayList.add(show);
};
return mArrayList;
} catch (Exception e) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this.getApplicationContext()).setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert).setTitle(R.string.server_down_title).setMessage(R.string.server_down_message).setPositiveButton(R.string.app_quit, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
MainActivity.this.finish();
}
}).show();
return null;
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(final List<Show> show_list) {
if (mAlertDialog.isShowing()) {
mAlertDialog.dismiss();
}
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
private class ListClickListener implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
Show show = mArrayList.get(i);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Clicked on a list item: " + show.title, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
private class ShowsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Show> {
final String DEBUG_TAG = "MainActivity$ShowsAdapter";
public ShowsAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, List<Show> shows) {
super(context, textViewResourceId, shows);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
Show show = this.getItem(position);
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.list_row_show, parent, false);
}
((TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.show_title)).setText(show.title);
//Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, (String)((TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.show_title)).getText());
//((TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.episode_number)).setText(episode.getGrayLine());
return convertView;
}
}
Just in case it could be an issue with the layout [main.xml]:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</ListView>
</FrameLayout>
list_show_row.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:textSize="17.0dip"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:id="#+id/show_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0.0dip"
android:text="Show Title"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
/>
<TextView
android:textStyle="italic" android:textColor="#ff666666"
android:id="#+id/episode_number"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:text="Episode Number" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>

Don't set fill_parent on the layout_height of the root element of list_row_show.xml layout.
