Custom Layout of Listitem not Updating after notifyDataSetChanged

In my application I have two activity, one which contain Recycleview and another one which is responsible for updating database value,in OnBind method of adpater I am updating thoes values(font size and color).I was able to getting change in fontsize and color according to update but Layout which contain thoes item not changing it's hight.
I am posting link of output thoes are in sequence , first one is without edit(https://ibb.co/931P0Q4), Second is with edit(https://ibb.co/KzY7VCL), Theird is after restart app(https://ibb.co/C7cqf7Z)

Code inside onResume by that I was able to get updated changes:
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.e("onResume","yes");
TDataRead();
customRecycleAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
here TdataRead is just method by which I m geting updating data for notify.
code of TdataRead:
public void TDataRead() {
customDataListModelList.clear();
Cursor cursor = tempSqliteDatabaseHelper.getAllData();
if (cursor.getCount() == 0) {
Log.e("No_temp", "No temp Contact Selected");
return;
}
StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
customDataListModelList.add(new CustomDataListModel((cursor.getString(0)), cursor.getString(1), cursor.getString(2), cursor.getString(3), cursor.getInt(4), cursor.getInt(5)));
stringBuffer.append("Id :" + cursor.getString(0) + "\n");
stringBuffer.append("Name :" + cursor.getString(1) + "\n");
stringBuffer.append("Number :" + cursor.getString(2) + "\n");
stringBuffer.append("color :" + cursor.getString(3) + "\n");
stringBuffer.append("Font Size :" + cursor.getInt(4) + "\n");
stringBuffer.append("Index:" + cursor.getInt(5) + "\n");
Log.e("CustomDataRecord", String.valueOf(customDataListModelList.get(i).Name));
}
}
I thing solution is reside with calling onBind method again or somerhing by list reload itself. and reload means calling contrustor of adapter again.I don't think thats proper way. if u have any other suggestion help me.

I solved this problem by calling xview.setAdapter(xAdapter) in onResume method means that for updated layout changes RecyclerView need updated instance of Adapter.
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
TDataRead();
customRecycleAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
recyleview.setAdapter(customRecycleAdapter);
}

Start activity using intent with extra does not show all the extras

Inside a setOnItemClickListener I use an intent to start a new activity. I put 7 strings as extras for this intent. When I click an item (of a ListView) I want all these extras to be displayed (on a new screen). But I see only the first 4 extras. Here's the layout file for the new activity:
<?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" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/address_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/city_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/zip_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/state_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/number_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/store_id_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip"/>
</LinearLayout>
Then here's the listener code:
lv_custom.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) {
//Log.v("ITEM",lv_custom.getItemAtPosition(position).toString());
c.moveToPosition(position);
String adr = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_ADDRESS));
String city = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_CITY));
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_NAME));
String store_id = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_STORE_ID));
String phone = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_PHONE));
String zip = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_ZIP));
String state = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_STATE));
Intent intent=new Intent(DisplayActivity.this,DisplayInfoActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("Address: ",adr);
intent.putExtra("City: ", city);
intent.putExtra("Zip: ", " " + zip + ", ");
intent.putExtra("State: ", state);
intent.putExtra("Name: ", name);
intent.putExtra("Store ID: ", "Store ID " + store_id);
intent.putExtra("Phone: ", phone);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
Here's the new activity code:
public class DisplayInfoActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.list_entry);
TextView address = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.address_entry);
TextView city = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.city_entry);
TextView zip = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.zip_entry);
TextView state = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.state_entry);
TextView name = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.name_entry);
TextView store_id = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.store_id_entry);
TextView phone = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.number_entry);
Intent intent = getIntent();
address.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Address: "));
city.setText(intent.getStringExtra("City: "));
zip.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Zip: "));
state.setText(intent.getStringExtra("State: "));
name.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Name: "));
store_id.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Store ID: "));
phone.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Phone: "));
}
}
The problem is that it shows only the address, the city, the zip code, and the state. It does not show the name, store id and the phone number. What happens with them? Why they are not shown/seen on the new screen? Actually, before I added more extras, I could see all the extras in my intent. Is there a problem with the number of extras? Thanks for help, if you have an answer for me!

You can simplify adding extras - no need to use extra characters as key:
intent.putExtra("Address",adr);
intent.putExtra("City", city);
intent.putExtra("Zip", " " + zip + ", ");
intent.putExtra("State", state);
intent.putExtra("Name", name);
intent.putExtra("StoreID", "Store ID " + store_id);
intent.putExtra("Phone", phone);
and correspondingly, in your DisplayInfoActivity:
address.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Address"));
city.setText(intent.getStringExtra("City"));
zip.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Zip"));
state.setText(intent.getStringExtra("State"));
name.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Name"));
store_id.setText(intent.getStringExtra("StoreID"));
phone.setText(intent.getStringExtra("Phone"));
Next, have you tried printing the extras to logcat, in case your layout is incorrect? Add this below the lines where you retrieve extras:
Log.d("MYTAG", "Name: " + intent.getStringExtra("Name"));
and see if you can see it in logcat. If yes, maybe your layout is not showing all those TextViews.
Btw, try moving the last 3 TextViews (name, store_id and number) in your layout file INSIDE the second LinearLayout (together with all the other textviews), just to see if they are displayed.

Your inner horizontal LinearLayout's height is set to match_parent:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
Thus, it stretches to the bottom of the screen and leaves no place for your other three TextViews. Therefore it should be set to wrap_content:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >

Your layout is wrong
<?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" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/address_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
...
You should have
<?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" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/address_entry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="28dip" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
...
Because your second LinearLayout is taking all the remaining screen

Inflating a series of images to linearlayout in android app

I am working on a blackjack Android app and I am using this method to inflate card images. I use the values of the card to determine what image to load and the index to know what ImageView to add it to. I call this for each card in the players hand. The first card displays, but none after that show up. I checked the log and the image names and locations are correct for the second cards.
for(int i = 0; i < playerHand.getCardCount(); i++)
{
addPlayerCardImage(playerHand.getCardByIndex(i), i);
}
private void addPlayerCardImage(Card pCard, int cardIndex)
{
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
cardImageView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.cardlayout, playerhandlayout , false);
String selectedImage = "card" + pCard.getValue() + pCard.getSuitAsCharacter();
int CardImageID = getResources().getIdentifier(selectedImage, "drawable",getPackageName());
Log.d("FLAG", "Card " + selectedImage);
String cardLocation = "imageViewCard" + cardIndex;
int cardLocationID = getResources().getIdentifier(cardLocation, "id",getPackageName());
Log.d("FLAG", "Card location " + cardLocation);
ImageView cardImage = (ImageView) cardImageView.findViewById(cardLocationID);
cardImage.setImageResource(CardImageID);
playerhandlayout.addView(cardImageView);
}
This is inflated layout 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="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView

Android: Dynamically Populate a SlidingDrawer (or a small list) within the Main Activity

I am working on an Android mapping app that allows a user to type a search parameter into an EditText box, and then the closest destinations matching the query are plotted with pins on the MapView.
Clicking on a pin will give info about the location, but I would like to provide more information to the user up front. I thought a SlidingDrawer could populate and open up to show the user the names of the destinations/the distances away.
Having spent a lot of time on this, having done much reading, and having made little progress, I am now asking the community for assistance.
The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to populate the contents of the SlidingDrawer within the main activity. I am able to launch a new activity, but that takes my MapView off the screen. I need to be able to see the map as well as the SlidingDrawer. And I can't figure out how to populate the SlidingDrawer without it being set up as an Activity.
(And I should say also that it doesn't necessarily need to be a SlidingDrawer that contains the list of destinations. I could modify my layout to make a small (max 3 items) list and take away some of the map's real estate if that is easier, but I'm not sure how to do that, either.)
Here is the code that calls my SlidingDrawer:
//call SlidingDrawer
Intent drawerIntent = new Intent(this, SlidingDrawerFinal.class);
drawerIntent.putExtra("lat", lat);
drawerIntent.putExtra("lon", lon);
int numberOfTargetsForList = numberOfLoops;
drawerIntent.putExtra("numberOfTargetsForList", numberOfTargetsForList);
for(int i = 0; i < target.length; i++){
drawerIntent.putExtra("target" + Integer.toString(i), target[i]);
}
this.startActivity(drawerIntent);
This is the code in my SlidingDrawer class (extends Activity) that fills the list inside the drawer:
View inflatedDrawerLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.drawer_main, null);
int width = getWindow().getAttributes().width;
int height = 300;
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(width, height);
getWindow().addContentView(inflatedDrawerLayout, params);
// add some data
ArrayList<MyData> myDataList = new ArrayList<MyData>();
myData = new MyData[numberOfTargets];
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfTargets; i++){
String lineTwo = "";
if(target[i].getRating().equals("Not Yet Rated")){
lineTwo = " " + target[i].getRating() + " " +
Double.toString((Math.round(target[i].getDistance()*100.0))/100.0) + " miles";
}
else{
lineTwo = " rating: " + target[i].getRating() + "/5 stars " +
Double.toString((Math.round(target[i].getDistance()*100.0))/100.0) + " miles";
}
String lineOne = (Integer.toString(i + 1) + ": " + target[i].getName() + ", " + target[i].getVicinity()) + "\n" + lineTwo;
myData[i] = new MyData(lineOne, i);
myDataList.add(myData[i]);
}
mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview_);
mListView.setAdapter(new MyListAdapter(this, R.layout.drawer_row, myDataList));
drawer = (SlidingDrawer) findViewById(R.id.drawer);
handleButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.handle);
drawer.animateOpen();
drawer.setOnDrawerOpenListener(new OnDrawerOpenListener() {
public void onDrawerOpened() {
handleButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.handle_down_white);
}
});
My layout files:

Sorry that this is so lengthy. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

You can use Popup Window.
View popupView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.popup_window, null);
final PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(popupView,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ImageButton btnCancel = (ImageButton) popupView
.findViewById(R.id.btnCancel);
popupWindow.showAtLocation(LayoutView, Gravity.BOTTOM
| Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL, (LayoutView.getWidth() - popupView
.getWidth()) / 2, LayoutView.getHeight()
- popupWindow.getHeight() - 10);
popupWindow.setAnimationStyle(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF);
popupWindow.setFocusable(true);
popupWindow.update();

The solution I opted for is programmatically a bit less than ideal, but the layout works well. Since I knew I wouldn't have more than 3 results, I just changed my layout to include (up to) 3 small TextViews under my search bar and (sadly) got rid of the SlidingDrawer altogether. When the results come back, I populate as many TextViews as necessary, each with an onClickListener. It won't scale well, and everything is hard-coded; but it works. I may try to improve upon this solution as I learn more about Android.

new code:
private void populateList(int numberOfTargetsForList){
TextView header = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.search_results_header);
header.setText("Top Search Results");
int i = 0;
//first line in list
barOverOne.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
String ratingAndDistance = "";
if(target[i].getRating().equals("Not Yet Rated")){
ratingAndDistance = " " + target[i].getRating() + " " +
Double.toString((Math.round(target[i].getDistance()*100.0))/100.0) + " miles";
}
else{
ratingAndDistance = " rating: " + target[i].getRating() + "/5 stars " +
Double.toString((Math.round(target[i].getDistance()*100.0))/100.0) + " miles";
}
String detailsForLineOne = (Integer.toString(i + 1) + ": " + target[i].getName() + ", " + target[i].getVicinity()) + "\n" + ratingAndDistance;
TextView lineOne = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.line_one);
lineOne.setText(detailsForLineOne);
lineOne.setOnClickListener(this);
i++;
...(similar blocks handle cases of i = 1 and i =2)
Finally, in my onClick() method:
case R.id.line_one:{
String locForURL = "origin=" + Double.toString(lat/1000000.0) +
"," + Double.toString(lon/1000000.0) + "&destination=" +
Double.toString(target[0].getLat()/1000000.0) + "," +
Double.toString(target[0].getLon()/1000000.0);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ParsingXMLDirectionsWithListView.class);
intent.putExtra("dirTitle", target[0].getName()+ " (" +
Double.toString((Math.round(target[0].getDistance()*100.0))/100.0) + " miles)");
intent.putExtra("locForURL", locForURL);
this.startActivity(intent);
break;
}//line_one
...(similar blocks for lines two and three)
Not perfect, but oh well. At least looks pretty good from the user's end, and I was never going to meet my deadline by continuing down the SlidingDrawer route. Maybe when I have some more free time I'll see if I can figure that out....
