Dialog being called from listview adapter throwing Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application

Hello everyone Im having an issue with making a dialog appear from an onClick listener from within a listview item. The dialogs were appearing and working fine within my application before I made certain methods in the activity that calls for the listview adapter static so that I could call those methods from the adapter. I am getting the error of:
android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application
from the call to:
alertDialog.show();
Before you tell me to go lookup this issue (because I have discovered that it is common) I have. And I have found solutions but none of them work for me. I haven't found anyone else having this issue within a custom listview adapter.
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
was working fine until the listview and certain methods were made static in the Services Acivity.

I have tried this and Services.this as well as getApplicationContext() and none of these solutions are working for me. Please help. Thank you.

You can follow this step:
Create a global ArrayList for adapter data source and initialize adapter with this arraylist(initialize it before using it) in onCreate() method
When new data is available clear previous data of ArrayList by calling ArrayList.clear() then add all new data to that Arraylist and call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
By this way you can avoid using this in static context.
Edited:
Use the Context to create AlertDialog that was passed to constructor.
Declare a Context variable in Adapter class and initialize it inside the constructor with the context object you are passing as parameter.
Then use that context object to initialize the AlertDialog.
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
Use context variable that you initialized in contructor instead of getContext()

ViewHolder messing Views

I have implemented both a ViewHolder and a convertView in my listView.
My listView is populated by a custom adapter, with a list of bookings.
When I click on an item, an invisible layout slides in from right to left, to display buttons.
I can dismiss this overlaying layout by clicking on a dismiss button so that it gets hidden again.
On this overlaying layout, I have a delete Button, which enables me to delete the item.
So far so good.
When I erase an item the item disappears as expected, the adapter is then reloaded.
The item below takes the position of the deleted item, but remains invisible.
I know it is here, because I can still click on the item to trigger the overlaying View.
So the ovelaying view is visible but not the item. I have no idea why this is happening.
I suspect the ViewHolder to be responsible of this behaviour, but I can't find a solution.
Thank you for your help.

Your problem comes from re-using the convertView.
When the previous item got a click the OnClickListener fired and in there the visibility for the item was set to GONE. Later on this same view got recycled and passed to getView() as the convertView. Because you are re-using it without resetting any changes that were made you are now working with a View for a new item that is not in a known state. You should make sure you undo any changes before using a convertView.
The quick fix is to not re-use the convertView that is passed into getView(). So, in your code where you check if you can re-use the convertView:
if(convertView == null)
Sabotage that check just to see if things start working:
if(true)
If that does the trick you will probably want to fix it properly.
In the else clause of the above check, you are getting the item holder from the tag. Also undo any changes that your OnClickListeners could have made. You want to start with a View for a new item in a known state. You should initialize it explicitly. For example:
if(convertView == null) {
// ... snipped all the initialization ...
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder)convertView.getTag();
convertView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
Update
I have never used a 'heterogenous' adapter so I can't really answer why "the convertView is reusing the overlay View instead of my item's root View." The Android developer documentation for Adapter.getView() says about the convertView argument:
The old view to reuse, if possible. Note: You should check that this view is non-null and of an appropriate type before using. If it is not possible to convert this view to display the correct data, this method can create a new view. Heterogeneous lists can specify their number of view types, so that this View is always of the right type (see getViewTypeCount() and getItemViewType(int)).
The emphasized bit says that you cannot depend on the system to pass you a convertView of the right type, while the last sentence says the opposite (as I read it).
Basically, I don't know why it's not working. I guess in the test where you check if you must inflate a new view yourself
if(convertView == null)
you should also check if it is the right kind of view:
if(convertView == null || getItemViewTypeFromView(convertView) != type)
Where getItemViewTypeFromView() is something like this:
private int getItemViewTypeFromView(View view) {
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.item_layout_root:
return TYPE_ITEM;
case R.id.placeholder_layout_root:
return TYPE_PLACEHOLDER;
default:
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}
}
In the item and placeholder layouts, give the root elements an id so you distinguish between them. So something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/item_layout_root"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingRight="5dp" >
... snipped the elements that make up the body of the layout ...
</RelativeLayout>
I haven't tried the above, so I hope it works for you.
Good luck!

Getting multiple select checkbox value in android listview using Odoo mobile framework

I know this is too late for this question , but for handling checkbox inside a listview you should use viewholder pattern ,
create a arraylist of boolean that will store your selection here is sample code
Declaration of arraylist
public static ArrayList<Boolean> arrChecked;
initialise the list
for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++) {
arrChecked.add(false);
}
then in getView method use holder like this ,
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_item, null);
ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
viewHolder.cb = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.checkbox);
// The tag can be any Object, this just happens to be the ViewHolder
convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
}
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
// set position as id
holder.cb.setId(position);
holder.cb.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
int id = v.getId();
if (arrChecked.get(id)) {
arrChecked.set(id, false);
// unchecked state of checkbox
} else {
arrChecked.set(id, true);
//do what you want to do in checked state here
}
}
});
holder.cb.setChecked(arrChecked.get(position));

Unable to get onListItemClick functioning for a row in a ListActivity

I would like to get a click anywhere on the row of my ListActivity to proceed to another Activity. Currently, i am able to see the row position in a log when the ImageView is clicked, but the click is not registered anywhere else in the row. Furthermore, the Toast command crashes the program. Any assistance toward my stated goal would be much appreciated. Thanks!

protected void onListItemClick (ListView l, View v, int position, long id){
Log.v("text", "Image clicked, row %d"+position);
Toast.makeText(DisplayEvents.this, position, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
in my DisplayEvents (ListActivity) class, but still no dice. Also, i'd like the click to respond to anything in that list item (note there are many views in that row layout which should inherit the click event handler).
it seems that the issue is how i should get all of the views (ImageView and 3 TextViews) in event_row.xml to get associated with this OnListItemClick handler. how is this entire row (comprised of 4 views in 2 LinearLayouts) recognized in the context of that OnListItemClick handler?

Use setOnItemClickListener on your DisplayEvents Activity and remove setOnClickListener from your EventAdapter.

The problem is that some of your item views are focusable and/or clickable (thus they eat the click events and that causes the ListView to not be able to receive the event in order to know that you clicked on a list item). For a list to trigger item-click events, it must be able to receive the touch events without them being eaten by the children.
In your item layout, you have 3 TextViews that all have textIsSelectable=true, and that means the TextView itself will eat the touch events. You need to disable that in order to trigger the onListItemClick() events.

I encountered this problem and removing
android:textIsSelectable="true"
will solve it.

ListFragment Not Rendering and getView() in Adapter Not Being Called

From what I can gather it appears that this might be because my ListView is not being displayed, I've verified that getCount is returning a value not zero, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
Everything loads and acts like it's working but the ListView never appears, I put a background color on the fragment reference in mixed.xml and it is there and taking up the full screen, but when I set a background color on my ListView it does not appear, it's like it's not being rendered at all.
More odd, getView is not being called in my adapter, and this is all working code from regular activities that I ported to fragments.
I've tried calling notifyDataSetChanged which didn't changed anything, debugging shows the adapter is filled with data and getCount is indeed returning an accurate count greater than 0.
Thanks for any help, I'm stuck.
Project is open and can be viewed here http://code.google.com/p/shack-droid/source/browse/#svn%2FTrunk but I'm also including the pertinent code here.

I think I found the problem. The issue appears because of the ShackGestureListener that you setup at the start of the onActivityCreated method in the FragmentTopicView:
final ShackGestureListener listener = Helper.setGestureEnabledContentView(R.layout.topics, getActivity());
if (listener != null) {
listener.addListener(this);
}
In the setGestureEnabledContentView() method you check to see if the user enabled the gestures in the preferences or if the android version is bigger then 3. Either way, true or false you set the content view for the FragmentActivityTopic again(with the layout of the FragmentTopicView). Setting the content view again will, unfortunately, cover the current layout which holds the ListView with data(ListView that populates with no problems). When you run those AsyncTasks to get the data, at the end you set the data on the correct ListView(returned by getListView) because the getListView will hold a reference to the old correct ListView which was set in the onCreateView method, but you don't see anything because in the setGestureEnabledContentView you cover this ListView.
This behavior is easy to see if you simple comment out(or remove) the lines that set the content view for the activity in the Helper and HelperAPI4 classes. Another way to see that your ListView is covered is, for example to set the adapter for the ListView(tva) using getListView and using the getActivity().findViewById(android.R.id.list)(I've done this on selecting one of your menus items, so I can control when I replace the adapter):
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
Intent intent;
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.topic_menu_newpost: // Launch post form
//this doesn't work as the getListView will return a reference to the old ListView
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setAdapter(tva);
// this will work as you get a reference to the new ListView on top
ListView lv = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(android.R.id.list);
lv.setAdapter(tva);
I don't know what to recommend as a solution as I don't quite understand what you're doing, but I doubt that it requires to set the content view for the activity again(and you should work from this).
