Activity A has a listView , Activity B has a checkBox and save button.
When save button in B is clicked, it will return to Activity A. When the list in Activity A is pressed, how to show the check box is checked in Activity B if it is checked before return to A ?
Activity B
if(getIntent().getExtras()!=null) // when Activity A list is pressed
{
final String from = getIntent().getStringExtra("from");
travelFrom.setText(from);
// how to show check box is checked ?
}
save.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { // if save button clicked, return from and outstation to A
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String from=travelFrom.getText().toString();
returnIntent.putExtra("from", from);
if(checkbox.isChecked()) {
returnIntent.putExtra("outstation", checkbox.getText().toString());
}
}
});
Activity A
listview.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { // if listView is clicked
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> a, View v, int position, long id) {
mClickedPosition = position;
Object o = listview.getItemAtPosition(position);
SearchResults fullObject = (SearchResults) o;
String from=fullObject.getFrom();
Intent i = new Intent(getApplication(),B.class);
i.putExtra("from",from);
startActivityForResult(i, PROJECT_REQUEST_CODE);
}
});
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { // receive from Activity B and populate ListView A
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == PROJECT_REQUEST_CODE) {
from=data.getStringExtra("from");
check=data.getStringExtra("outstation");
objMyCustomBaseAdapter.addNewItem(from,check); // save from and "outstation" into MySQL
}
}
}
When I press the list in A to B, the check box always not checked. How to make it check ?
Do something like implementing setOnclicklistner for checkbox. and assume an int variable to be zero. and when ever we click the checkbox increase the number by 1 every time. When we are moving from one activity to another send the data of int variable to Activity B. check Activity check the condition int variable as variable%2 if the value is equal to 1 the check box is checked. else it is not.
Assuming you have some object with this...
class MyData {
private boolean check;
public boolean getCheck() { return check; }
}
Here is some rough pseudo-code to demonstrate the concept, so not copy-paste worthy
Activity A - Pass in the boolean value that you want to the next activity
class ActivityA {
private ListView listView
onCreate() {
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter();
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
listView.setOnItemClickListener( new ItemClickListener() {
onClick(int position) {
MyData listObject = adapter.getItem(position);
boolean checked = listObject.getCheck();
Intent i = new Intent(ActivityA.this, ActivityB.class);
i.putExtra("checkTheBox", check);
startActivity(i);
}
});
}
}
Activity B - Get the value out of the intent and set the checkbox to checked
class ActivityB {
private Checkbox checkbox;
onCreate() {
checkbox = (Checkbox) findViewById(R.id.checkbox);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
checkbox.setChecked(extras.getBooleanExtra("checkTheBox"));
}
}
}
You have to save the checked status for the selected list item when returning back from Activity B to Activity A.
In order to do that, you can simply store information in Activity A for the currently selected list item.
(for example TreeMap<View, Boolean> - item-> isSelected)
Then in onActivityResult you can set if there has been a check or not for the last selected item. When selecting again, before you create the intent you can check if this item has already been selected.
To know ActivityA ListItem is checked in ActivityB (ie CheckBox) or not. Check this below code hope this helps
ActivityA stuff
int selectedPosition;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//your UI setup and findViewById stuff
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectedPosition = position;
startActivityForResult(activityBIntent, REQ_CODE);
}
});
}
int REQ_CODE = 7;
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == REQ_CODE)
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
adapter.changeStatus(selectedPosition, true);//update adapter
} else {
//checkbox not checked
adapter.changeStatus(selectedPosition, false);//update adapter
}
}
ActivityB stuff
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//your UI stuff
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);//default
//check box setup and save button onclick listener
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(v.getId()==R.id.save_button){
if (checkBox.isChecked())
setResult(RESULT_OK);
else
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);//default
finish();//finish ActivityB and take the result to ActivityA
}
}

I have created two Activities.
Main Activity.java(This is the activity that application launches with, user click on a button called "Show timer" which takes the user to the next activity)
displayTimer.java(This is the second activity which has a ListView, with data in each row. on item click users comes back to the main activity)
I'm trying to pass the string stored in that row to the main activity.
This is the main code from display timer activity
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.user_list_view);
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.customtimer_listview);
customTimerAdapter = new CustomTimerAdapter(this, R.layout.row);
BackGroundTask backGroundTask = new BackGroundTask(this);
backGroundTask.execute("Get_info");
registerForContextMenu(listView);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
TextView textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.time_entered);
String timeRetrevied = textView.getText().toString();
//System.out.println(timeRetrevied);
Intent intentExtras = new Intent(displayTimer.this,MainActivity.class);
intentExtras.putExtra("TIME_DATA",timeRetrevied);
setResult(RESULT_OK, intentExtras);
//startActivityForResult(intentExtras,SECOND_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE,null);
finish();
}
});
}
This is the code from the Main activity where i'm calling the method onActivityResult to get the data through intent from displaytimer. But i'm not able to get the data. Dont know what i'm doing wrong. Any input with be fine.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == SECOND_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE){
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
int setTimer = Integer.parseInt(data.getDataString());
System.out.println(setTimer);
seekbar.setProgress(setTimer * 60);
updateTimer(setTimer);
}
else{
System.out.println("Not Ok");
}
}
System.out.println("RequestCode failed");
}
}
Instead of
data.getDataString()
use
data.getStringExtra("TIME_DATA")
getDataString returns the URI in the encoded String format, which is not what you require as you are not passing in the data.
As you are passing in the Sting text with ID=TIME_DATA, use the same ID to get the string back using the getStringExtra("TIME_DATA");
I have a List View in one activity with one info icon in custom adapter. When user taps on that info button then the next activity will open and after marking attendance in next activity when user taps the update button then the second activity should finish and first activity listview should be updated.
What i successfully did:
I have successfully mark the attendance and change the color of listview but i did that after closing the second activity and restarting the first activity. In this way the listview gets updated because of starting activity again.
What I am unable to do:
I want that when user taps on update button then only finish() will call and user returns to previous first activity with listview updated. But when i do so then the listview not get updated. I have to go back and open the activity again then the listview gets updated otherwise not. I do not want that. I also tried to notify adapter in the onResume method of first activity so that when user returns from second activity then the first activity listview adapter will be updated because of onResume method but it isn't work.

static class ViewHolder {
TextView name, cnic, no, gender,status;

}
here in adapter code when INFO button is clicked then another activity starts in which user can update the attendance.
This is Update activity code when button clicked:
update.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
DetailsTeacherwebservice schoolinfo = new DetailsTeacherwebservice();
schoolinfo.setTeachername(teachername.getText().toString());
schoolinfo.setTeacherno(teacherno.getText().toString());
schoolinfo.setTeachercnic(teachercnic.getText().toString());
schoolinfo.setTeachergender(teachergender.getText().toString());
schoolinfo.setAttendance(teachergroupstr);
schoolinfo.setTeacherattendancedetails(absentgrpstr);
schoolinfo.setAttendancedatesince(txtDate.getText().toString());
schoolinfo.setAttendancetrasnferschool(transferOutSchool.getText().toString());
databasehandler.updateteacherwebservice(schoolinfo, emis, identity);
Toast.makeText(Teacherwebservicemainlistupdate.this, "Updated Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("update", "1");
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
}
});
I can start the listview activity again when update button is clicked but that changes the index of the list item clicked i.e. because activity starts again. How ever what i want is that if i clicked on 10th item then when next activity opens and user updates attendance then it returns back to previous activity on same index position so that the user do not have to scroll again to go back on 10th item
Add this code for list item click:
Intent i = new Intent(context, YourAcitivityName.class);
i.putExtra("position",p);
startActivityForResult(i, 1);
Add this code in update button:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("update", "1");
intent.putExtra("position",getIntent().getIntExtra("position",0));
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
When you get back from activity to the activity where list view is implemented this method called:
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 1) {
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String update = data.getStringExtra("update");
if(update.equals("1"))
{
// add your code to update list view
teacherList = databasehandler.teacherwebserviceList(emis);
Rsults();
YourAdapterClassName adapter = new YourAdapterClassName(this, arrList);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
listView.smoothScrollToPosition(getIntent().getIntExtra("position",0));
}
}
}
}
The following are two examples, the first is an example where the source for the ListView is a List (and in this case using a Custom Adapter), the second is where the source is a Cursor (using SimpleCursorAdapter)
The trap many fall into is just updating the List using something like :-
myList = method();
myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
At a guess, that's the trap you've fallen into.
When what should be done is to use the List's methods to alter it (e.g. clear, add, addAll, remove).
I believe this explains the reasoning - Is Java “pass-by-reference” or “pass-by-value”?
Example 1 - List as the source :-
/**
* Build or rebuild the List of TaskData's, instantiate the
* Custom Array Adapter if needed and also notify the adapter
* if the List may have been changed.
*/
private void prepTasksCustomArrayList() {
// Determine if the adpater needs to be notified of changes
boolean notify_dataset_changed = (mCsr != null && mCustomArrayAdapter != null);
// If the List is not null then assume that it has changed
// otherwise just get the List
if (mTasks != null) {
mTasks.clear();
mTasks.addAll(dbhlpr.getAllTasks());
} else {
mTasks = dbhlpr.getAllTasks();
}
// If the adapter is null then instantiate it
if (mCustomArrayAdapter == null) {
mCustomArrayAdapter = new CustomArrayAdapter(
this,
R.layout.taskdata_item,
mTasks);
}
// Notify the adapter that the List has changed
if (notify_dataset_changed) {
mCustomArrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
Notes
This is used to both setup and alter/update the ListView that the adpater is attached to.
All that is needed is to call the method at the appropriate place/s in the code e.g. in the Activities onCreate, onResume, after onItemClick/LongClick.
e.g in onCreate :-
mTaskList = this.findViewById(R.id.tasklist); // The ListView
prepTasksCustomArrayList()
mTaskList.setAdapter(mCustomArrayAdapter)
and in onresume just (in conjunction with the 3 lines in onCreate)
prepTasksCustomArrayList()
I don't believe that this way is very common, normally you see the adapter being setup in onCreate.
mTasks.addAll(dbhlpr.getAllTasks()); is what gets the source data.
Example 2 - Cursor as the Source
/**
* Build or rebuild the List via Cursor using the bespoke layout
*/
private void prepCursorListBespoke() {
boolean swapcursor = (mCsr != null && mCursorAdapter2 != null);
if (mCursorAdapter2 == null) {
mCursorAdapter2 = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,R.layout.taskdata_item,mCsr,
new String[]{ Datasource.TASKS_ID_COL,
Datasource.TASKS_TYPE_COL,
Datasource.TASKS_NAME_COL,
Datasource.TASKS_OWNER_COL,
Datasource.TASKS_EXPIRATION_COL},
new int[]{R.id.task_id,
R.id.task_type,
R.id.task_name,
R.id.task_owner,
R.id.task_expiration},
0);
}
if (swapcursor) {
mCursorAdapter2.swapCursor(mCsr);
}
}
Notes
The prepCursorListBespoke method is used in the same way as for example 1.
notifyDataSetChanged could be used instead of swapCursor
I use swapCursor because it's more descriptive).
However, you can only use swapCursor for Cursors.
Added
The following changes may work, roughly speaking I've applied the List example above.
i.e. Rsults is called by onResume(added) which will notify the adapter that the data has been changed.
The code hasn't been tested as there was insufficient code. (a no code for DatabaseHandler class, and b) no code for DetailsTeacherwebservice class). As such there may be errors.
Look for //++++++++++++++... comments should follow to say what has been done/changed.

You can use eventbus for this case:
This is an example:
In your build.gradle file
compile 'org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.0.0'
In Activity has listview:
#Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
EventBus.getDefault().register(this); // register event
}
#Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
EventBus.getDefault().unregister(this); // unregister event
}
#Subscribe(threadMode = ThreadMode.MAIN)
public void onEvent(EventBusInfo eventBusInfo) {
if (eventBusInfo.getProcessId() == 99) {
// eventBusInfo.getData();
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
In Update Activity
yourButtonFinish.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
finish();
EventBusInfo event = new EventBusInfo();
event.setProcessId(99);
//event.setData(object) //if you want get data back
EventBus.getDefault().post(event);
}
});
Class EventBusInfo
public class EventBusInfo {
private int processId;
private Object data;
public EventBusInfo(int processId, Object data) {
this.processId = processId;
this.data = data;
}
public EventBusInfo() {
}
public EventBusInfo(int processId) {
this.processId = processId;
}
public Object getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(Object data) {
this.data = data;
}
public int getProcessId() {
return processId;
}
public void setProcessId(int processId) {
this.processId = processId;
}
}
save the list items in every change then restart the Activity of adapter with intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) to close the old ListView.
Is what I do and it works fine.
if the list it is not empty, I restart the activity with the adapter and I have a new ListView closing the previous one. Or if it is empty, I start a different activity (to not have an empty ListView)
Saving and loading the list items every time to SharedPreferences with Gson
For a reason notifyDataSetChanged() does not work good in my case so I prefer this solution.
I'm working on a simple log app that lets the user enter a time and a note, and then displays the entered data in a ListView in a dedicated activity (MainActivty). The time and data are entered in a separate activity (AddTimeActivity) with two EditText's and are passed to MainActivity when tapping the save button through an adapter (TimeTrackerAdapter). Alternatively, a cancel button can be pressed when the user changes their mind. The AddTimeActivity can be accessed through an add button in the action bar default menu. Now I've added a delete button -which is working fine- and an edit button to each row in the list. Now The problem is: How can I add the editing feature without making a new activity dedicated to editing. In Other words, how can I make the AddTimeActivity work with editing and adding in the same time, how can I make my app know that the user tapped the add button and start the AddTimeActivity with empty EditText's, or the user tapped the edit button in one of the rows in the list and passes the the data to be edited to AddTimeActivity and displays them in the EditText's and saves the edited data in the same entry? Sorry for not showing any attempts but I'm actually clueless about the issue.

The AddTimeActivity, onSave and onCancel are the buttons' methods:
public class AddTimeActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.add_time);
}
public void onCancel(View view) {
finish();
}
public void onSave(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(AddTimeActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
EditText timeEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Time_Edit_Text);
String time = timeEditText.getText().toString();
EditText noteEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Note_Edit_Text);
String note = noteEditText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra("time", time);
intent.putExtra("note", note);
this.setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
}
TimeTrackerAdapter.java:
public class TimeTrackerAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
public ArrayList<TimeRecord> times = new ArrayList<TimeRecord>();
#Override
public int getCount() {
return times.size();
}
public TimeTrackerAdapter() {
times.add(new TimeRecord("12:30", "this is the best"));
times.add(new TimeRecord("2:30", "I need this"));
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return times.get(position);
}
public void addTimeRecord(TimeRecord timeRecord) {
times.add(timeRecord);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public View getView(final int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
if (view == null) {
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.menu_layout, parent, false);
}
TextView timeView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.time_textView);
TextView noteView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.note_TextView);
Button deleteButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.delete_entry);
deleteButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
times.remove(position);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
TimeRecord time = times.get(position);
timeView.setText(time.getTime());
noteView.setText(time.getNote());
return view;
}
}
The question is
How can I add the editing feature without making a new activity dedicated to editing.
or, more generally,
"how do I hand over information to the activity I'm calling ?"
You achieve this by adding extras to the intent which you use to start the activity. For example, in your 'MainActivity' before calling 'startActivityForResult()':
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyOtherActivity.class);
// in your case, 'extraInformation' could be a boolean (add = yes|no)
intent.putExtra("MyExtraInformationKey", extraInformation);
startActivityForResult(intent,TIME_ENTRY_REQUEST_CODE);
Then in the 'onCreate()' method of the other activity, you question the intent for extras:
Intent i = getIntent();
if (i != null && i.hasExtra(getString("MyExtraInformationKey"))
{
boolean myInfo = i.getBooleanExtra("MyExtraInformationKey");
// proceed as appropriate...
}
For your case of buttons inside ListView rows, you could make the OnClickListener method call another method (like 'doCallMayOtherActivity()') in your 'MainActivity', handing over all relevant information (like the position in the 'times' ArrayList).
This method would then start your add/edit activity, passing the old data out of 'times.get(position)' in a bundle as an extra to the intent.
To access the methods in 'MainActivity' from your adapter class, you could use the following code in 'getView()'
Button editButton=(Button) view.findViewById(R.id.edit_entry);
editButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
((MainActivity)parent.getContext()).doCallMyOtherActivity(times.get(position));
}
This way, your other activity could check for the existence of that bundle. If there is none, you have a case of 'add'. Else, you have a case of 'edit'.
I have a ListView, which displays a list of notes taken from a table in SQLiteDatabase with ArrayAdapter.
public class NotepadActivity extends ListActivity {
protected static final int ADD_NEW_NOTE = 0;
protected static final int EDIT_NOTE = 1;
ArrayAdapter<Note> adapter;
NotesManager manager;
private Note nNoteToDelete;
ArrayList<Note> lstAllNotes;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
findViewById(R.id.btnAddNewNote).setOnClickListener(addNewNote);
manager = new NotesManager(this);
lstAllNotes = manager.getAllNotes();
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<Note>(this, R.layout.note, lstAllNotes);
setListAdapter(adapter);
getListView().setOnItemClickListener(editNote);
registerForContextMenu(getListView());
}
When I click on an Item in this ListView, it takes this Note object to the EditNote activity:
private OnItemClickListener editNote = new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
long id) {
Note currNote = (Note)parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
int curr_note_id = currNote.getId();
String curr_note_title = currNote.getTitle().toString();
String curr_note_details = currNote.getDetails().toString();
Intent editNote = new Intent(NotepadActivity.this, EditNote.class);
editNote.putExtra("CURR_NOTE_ID", curr_note_id);
editNote.putExtra("CURR_NOTE_TITLE", curr_note_title);
editNote.putExtra("CURR_NOTE_DETAILS", curr_note_details);
startActivityForResult(editNote, EDIT_NOTE);
}
};
I can edit the title of the note in there and the content. When I hit the Save button, it sends back to the main activity the Strings of Title and the Details and the ID int:
public class EditNote extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
int curr_note_id;
String curr_note_title;
String curr_note_details;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.editnote);
curr_note_id = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("CURR_NOTE_ID");
curr_note_title = getIntent().getExtras().getString("CURR_NOTE_TITLE");
curr_note_details = getIntent().getExtras().getString(
"CURR_NOTE_DETAILS");
((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtTitle)).setText(curr_note_title);
((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtDetails)).setText(curr_note_details);
findViewById(R.id.btnSave).setOnClickListener(this);
findViewById(R.id.btnCancel).setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.btnSave:
String strNoteTitle = ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtTitle)).getText().toString().trim();
String strNoteDetails = ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtDetails)).getText().toString().trim();
if (!strNoteTitle.equals("")) {
Intent data = new Intent();
data.putExtra("NOTE_ID", curr_note_id);
data.putExtra("NOTE_TITLE", strNoteTitle);
data.putExtra("NOTE_DETAILS", strNoteDetails);
setResult(RESULT_OK, data);
finish();
} else {
((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtTitle))
.setError("A note must contain a title");
}
break;
case R.id.btnCancel:
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);
finish();
break;
}
}
}
And in the main activity it should update the DB and the ListView with the new Title, if there were changes. My code does update the DB, but I don't see the change in the ListView immediately, only if I exit the app and open it again. Here's the code (watch the second case, EDIT_NOTE):
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
switch (requestCode) {
case ADD_NEW_NOTE:
String noteTitle = data.getExtras().getString("NOTE_TITLE");
String noteDetails = data.getExtras().getString("NOTE_DETAILS");
Note nNewNote = new Note(-1, noteTitle, noteDetails);
adapter.add(nNewNote);
manager.addNote(nNewNote);
break;
case EDIT_NOTE:
int noteID = data.getExtras().getInt("NOTE_ID");
noteTitle = data.getExtras().getString("NOTE_TITLE");
noteDetails = data.getExtras().getString("NOTE_DETAILS");
nNewNote = new Note(noteID, noteTitle, noteDetails);
Toast.makeText(NotepadActivity.this, noteTitle + "\n" + noteDetails, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
manager.updateNote(nNewNote);
break;
}
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
After manager.updateNote(nNewNote); I tried to use adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); but that didn't work - I didn't see the change in the ListView. Perhaps I used it wrong, perhaps I should use something else...
So how can I make the ListView refresh? How can I see change immediately, without restarting the app?
Thank you!
When you return from the edit activity, set the list adapter again to refresh the ListView. You have to manually refresh the ListView each time if you want to see any updates. Hope this helps.
In my app I get a Force Close, and I don't know how to solve this. The problem is that I have a class that extends ListActivity. In this class there is a list of shops, and the user should select one of the shops. If he not select a shop and press button Back I get Force Close, because the previous class expect the name of the shop. How can I catch this error?
Here is my class for selecting a shop :
public class SelectShop extends ListActivity {
private ListView lv1;
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = null;
Cursor cursor;
DbAdapter db;
ImageView iconshop;
private static final int ADD=Menu.FIRST;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.shopselect);
iconshop = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iconshop);
lv1 = getListView();
DbApplication myApplication = (DbApplication) this.getApplication();
db= myApplication.getDatabaseAdapter();
cursor = db.getAllShops();
startManagingCursor(cursor);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()){
adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.shopsrow, cursor,
new String[] { DbAdapter.NAME, DbAdapter.ADRESS }, new int[] {
R.id.title, R.id.address });
setListAdapter(adapter);
}else Toast.makeText(this,
"Choose Menu for adding a shop",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
lv1.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v,
int position, long id) {
Intent j = new Intent(SelectShop.this,
com.ShoppingList.NewList.class);
Cursor c = (Cursor) parent.getAdapter().getItem(position);
j.putExtra("shop", c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(db.NAME)));
setResult(RESULT_OK, j);
finish();
}
});
}
/*Adaugarea meniului Add Shop*/
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(0, ADD, 0, "Add Shop").setIcon(R.drawable.additem);
return true;
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case ADD:
Intent j = new Intent(SelectShop.this, Shops.class);
startActivityForResult(j, 0);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
and in previuos class I have this:
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
switch (requestCode) {
case 0: {
Bundle b = intent.getExtras();
shopselect = b.getString("shop");
shop.setText(shopselect);
}
break;
}
}
You have to check the null condition in onActivityResult like below.
if(b != null)
{
shopselect = b.getString("shop"); shop.setText(shopselect);
}
I think you need to implement a mechanism that won't let your user get back to previous activity without choosing any item in the list. Override your onKeyDown() method, and when the user presses Back key you should check whether any item is chosen. If it's not you can throw an alert dialog to inform user what he must do to proceed. Hope this helps!
Check the result code. do your thing only if the result code is Activity.RESULT_OK.
