I am using listview in my app.I am adding items to list with this line:
conversationsAdapter.add(user);
and this initializes list
conversationsAdapter=new ArrayAdapter<JsonObject>(this,0) {
#Override
public View getView(int c_position,View c_convertView,ViewGroup c_parent) {
if (c_convertView == null) {
c_convertView=getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.random_bars,null);
}
JsonObject user=getItem(c_position);
String name=user.get("name").getAsString();
String image_url="http://domain.com/photos/profile/thumb/"+user.get("photo").getAsString();
TextView nameView=(TextView)c_convertView.findViewById(R.id.tweet);
nameView.setText(name);
ImageView imageView=(ImageView)c_convertView.findViewById(R.id.image);
Ion.with(imageView)
.placeholder(R.drawable.twitter)
.load(image_url);
return c_convertView;
}
};
ListView conversationsListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.conversationList);
conversationsListView.setAdapter(conversationsAdapter);
conversationsListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
startChat(conversationsAdapter.getItem(position));
}
});
My list view is looking like this:
I want to update an item in the list.How can I do this ?
Example:We can write a method like: changeName when this method calls,method sets name "Tolgay Toklar" to "Tolgay Toklar Test" so I want to update custom listview item attributes.
I totally disagree with tyczj. You never want to externally modify an ArrayAdapter's list and yes it's possible to update just an individual item. Lets start with updating an individual item.
You can just invoke getItem() and directly modify the object and call notifyDataSetChanged(). Example:
JSONObject object = conversationAdapter.getItem(position);
object.put("name", data);
conversationAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Why does this work? Because the adapter will feed you the same object reference used internally, allowing you to modify it and update the adapter. No problem. Of course, I'd recommend instead building your own custom adapter to perform this directly on the adapter's internal list. As an alternative, I highly recommend using the ArrayBaseAdapter instead. It already provides that ability for you while fixing some other major bugs with Android's ArrayAdapter.
So why is tyczj wrong about modifying the external list? Simple. There's no guarantee that your external list is the same as the adapters. Once you perform a filter on the ArrayAdapter, your external list and the adapters are no longer the same. You can get into a dangerous scenario where (for example) index 5 no longer represents position 5 in the adapter because you later added an item to the adapter. I suggest reading Problems with ArrayAdapter's Constructors for a little more insight.
Update: How External List Fails
Lets say you create a List of objects to pass into an ArrayAdapter. Eg:
List<Data> mList = new ArrayList<Data>();
//...Load list with data
ArrayAdapter<Data> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<Data>(context, resource, mList);
mListView.setAdapter(adapter);
So far so good. You have your external list, you have an adapter instantiated with it and assigned to listview. Now lets say at some later point, the adapter is filtered and cleared.
adapter.filter("test");
//...later cleared
adapter.filter("");
Now at this point mList is NOT the same as the adapter. So if the adapter is modified:
adapter.add(newDataObject);
You'll find that mList does not contain that new data object. Hence why external lists like this can be dangerous as the filter creates a NEW ArrayList instance. It won't continue to use your mList referenced one. You could even try adding items to mList at this point and it won't be reflected in the adapter.
If you change the data in your list you need to call notifyDatasetCanged on the adapter to notify the list that the underlying data has changed needs to be updated and.
Example
List<MyData> data = new ArrayList<MyData>();
private void changeUserName(String name){
//find the one you need to change from the list here
.
.
.
data.set(myUpdatedData);
notifyDatasetChanged()
}

I have implemented my RecyclerView and even added an onscrolllistener to support infinity scrolling and now I'm stuck with a, hopefully, easy problem: How can I add the newly loaded data to the existing dataset?
My current approach: I create a new array with the length of the existing dataset + the length of the newly loaded data. I System.arraycopy my existing dataset and add the new content with a for-loop.
This works but the list is always reset (scrolls back to the top) and I assume my way to add additional content is overly complicated/wrong, though the tutorials I have looked at seem to pass over this "detail".
Update: I'm currently calling "scrollToPosition" on the UI-Thead after the data has been loaded, but I doubt this is the correct way of doing this or am I wrong?
You shouldn't be adding stuff to your dataset, you will sooner or later run out of memory. What you can do is return a big number (I used Short.MAX_VALUE) item in getItemCount inside your adapter and in the method that requests a view for postion you should do position % list.size();
It is not a truly endless RecyclerView this way, but good enough. I will paste some code tomorrow, I don't have it here now :/
I think you have to add items inside your adapter. Let`s say
class Adapter extends Recycler.Adapter<Recycler.ViewHolder>{
List<YourCustomObject> list;
public Adapter(){
list = new ArrayList<>();
}
public void addItem(YourCustomObject item){
list.add(item);
notifyItemDateSetChanged(); //This method for adapter to notice that list size have been changed
}
// Here your views
}
There is implementation of Your fragment or Activity where you retrieve data from internet.Let` say
class MainActivity extends AppCompactActivity{
Adapter adapter = new Adapter();
List<YourCustomObjects> objects;
public void onCreateView(){
//////// Something yours
}
public void onLoadMore(){
///// Your operation to retrieve data and init it to your list objects
for(YourCustomObject object : objects){
adapter.addItem(object);
}
}
}
In our chat app we want to use cool new Library SQLBrite to update chat on database changes. Since our chat has endless scrolling, and chat room can have very big list of messages, we want to split ArrayList supplied to Chat ListView adapter into two lists. Check graphic for the idea.
We want to set point in database above which, old messages will be queried by normal SQLite queries. And below that point we want set SQLBrite, that will bring us fresh messages added to database.
Each part should populate its corresponding ArrayList. And two arrayLists should be combined in one adapter.
My question is it possible to do? If yes how we can combine and handle two dynamic ArrayLists in single adapter?
Edit 1
1. I need to keep chat scroll position during from resetting, and no flickers during ArrayLists update.
1.With the help of generics you can handle two arraylist with single ArrayList.
For example in adapter :
setListData(ArrayList<T> pListData)
{
mListData=pListData;
}
In View
getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
T commonModel= getItem(position);
if(T instanceof ArrayListOneModel){
ArrayListOneModel model1=(ArrayListOneModel)T;
do stuf for first arraylit...
}
}
If you are using same model you can set a type (enum ) for both arraylist
& during showing time you can check that.
3.Otherwise you can first add old data in arraylist & then using collection
addAll() add 2nd latest message list in it. then
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
will set first old message then will set latest message in your list
More Clarification:
In second approach if you have different models for both arraylist then contain an enum in both model as a setter getter.
public enum eType{
FIRST_LIST_TYPE,SECOND_LIST_TYPE
}
During Fetching data from different DB's set Type in model.
e.g
public class model{
private enum eType;
// other setter getter value from your DB
/**
* Setter getter:
*/
public void seteType(enum eType)
{
this.eType = eType;
}
public enum geteType()
{
return eType;
}
}
During fetching data set Type e.g.
Model model = new Model();
model.seteType(eType.FIRST_LIST_TYPE) ;
//same for 2nd db.
& simply check type inside getView() according to your requirement.
yes that is possible inside BaseAdapter getCount method write following code
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return list1.size()+list2.size();
}
and inside getView method you can do something like below
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
if(position < list1.size) {
Object object = list1.get(position);
//write code to inflate view here related to list 1
}
else {
Object object = list2.get(position - list1.size());
//write code to inflate raw here related to list 2
}
}
You can pass only one list in adopter, which means you have to merge both arrays.
In order to merge both array. they have to be of same type, i.e. Array of same custom object.
If arrays are updating dynamically, then merge arrays again, as their data changes, and call notifyDataSetChanged() each time, to reflect changes in listview
Yes you can do it. but both arraylist should have common data format.
for eg ..
In adapter you can make method like
public void addMessages( <your_array_list> data ) {
list.addAll(data); //where list is your data container
}
now you may have two arraylist
like
ArrayList<your_type> oldMsg;
ArrayList<your_type> newMsg;
..
..
...
.
.
so you can call adapter method which we have created
yourAdapter.addMessages(oldMsg);
yourAdapter.addMessages(newMsg);
Here's my code so far, but the application crashes when I press the update button.
I want to update a selected item in my list, I have already created the update activity that will allow me to load the values on my database but I can't figure out how to load the value of selected item in list.
{
ArrayAdapter<String> ard=new ArrayAdapter<String> (this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_single_choice,list);
lv.setAdapter(ard);
lv.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
btnupdate.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
SparseBooleanArray sba = lv.getCheckedItemPositions();
Intent intent = new Intent(HomeworkInfo.this, UpdateHomework.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
});
}
When an ArrayAdapter is constructed, it holds the reference for the List that was passed in. If you were to pass in a List that was a member of an Activity, and change that Activity member later, the ArrayAdapter is still holding a reference to the original List. The Adapter does not know you changed the List in the Activity.
Your choices are:
Use the functions of the ArrayAdapter to modify the underlying List (add(), insert(), remove(), clear(), etc.)
Re-create the ArrayAdapter with the new List data. (Uses a lot of resources and garbage collection.)
Create your own class derived from BaseAdapter and ListAdapter that allows changing of the underlying List data structure.
Use the notifyDataSetChanged() every time the list is updated. To call it on the UI-Thread, use the runOnUiThread() of Activity. Then, notifyDataSetChanged() will work.
I hope this helps you ..
Happy coding !!
Hi friends i have a listview and the contents are fetched from a webservice call. In that webservice call, there are fields like
"OGType": "ORG" and "OGType": "GROUP"
If click a button, the listview must shows the item having "OGType": "ORG", and hide the item having "OGType": "GROUP". Hope you understand what i meant. Please anyone help me for that. Thanks in Advance.
Try to set new data (only with ORG) to adapter and then call
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
You can do it in your getView Method in your Adapter Class. That's the header
public View getView(int pos, View convertView, ViewGroup, parent)
There you can properly hide the element(s) you want, you know, using the method setVisibility()
For more help you can take a look here
You can create a custom adapter and pass data to it in the form of Array or ArrayList (ArrayList is better when dealing with Custom Adapters). Whenever you need to add or remove the data from ListView, just add or remove the item to or from you ArrayList and call notifyDataSetChanged() on your custom adapter and it will update the ListView automatically.
In your case, whenever you click a button, edit you ArrayList and call your custom adapter's method called notifyDataSetChanged() and that's it. You'll see every time you call this method ListView will refresh itself if you have made any changes to the data. Hope it helps.
NOTE - CUSTOM ADAPTER IS NOT COMPULSORY. ANY ADAPTER CAN BE USED e.g SimpleAdapter, ArrayAdapter etc.
You can use a visible list and filters lists. You should use "visible" for complete the BaseAdpter as always, then, you can change the pointer of visible to other list (all, filter...)
Don't worry by the memory, are pointers, you only have each element only once.
public class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<MyItem> visible;
private ArrayList<MyItem> all;
private ArrayList<MyItem> filter;
public MyAdapter(ArrayList<MyItem> items) {
all = items;
visible = all; //Set all as visible
filter = new ArrayList<Item>();
for (Item i : items)
if (i.getType().equals("ORG"))
filter.add(i);
}
//Complete adapter using "visible"
public void showOnlyOrg() {
visible = filter;
notifydatasetchanged();
}
}
The non hackish way will be to remove the items from your Collection which you use to generate the listview and then call notifyDataSetChanged();
I've been playing around with ArrayAdapters and I've reached a point where I'm getting different results from two almost identical ArrayLists + ArrayAdapter combinations.
The first one:
An ArrayList of 'Restaurant' objects, an ArrayAdapter that uses this ArrayList and a ListView that binds this ArrayAdapter.
private ArrayList<Restaurant> model = new ArrayList<Restaurant>();
private ArrayAdapter<Restaurant> restaurantAdapter = null;
...
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
...
restaurantAdapter = ArrayAdapter<Restaurant>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, model);
...
listView.setAdapter(restaurantAdapter);
...
}
The second one:
An ArrayList of String objects, an ArrayAdapter that uses this ArrayList and a AutoCompleteTextView that binds this ArrayAdatper.
private ArrayList<String> prevAddressList = new ArrayList<String>();
private ArrayAdapter<String> addListAdapter = null;
...
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
...
addListAdapter = ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, prevAdddressList);
...
autoCompleteField.setAdapter(addListAdapter);
...
}
I have a save button, on click, I'm creating a restaurant object with a name and an address and adding it to the first adapter, additionally, I want to create a list of previously used address so they are "auto completed" next time they are typing it, so I'm taking the text, and adding it to the second adapter.
...onSave = new View.OnClickListener(){
...
restaurantAdapter.add(r); //r is a Restaurant object.
addListAdapter.add(autoCompleteField.getText().toString());
...
}
Now, everything is working properly. I get the Restaurants displayed in a ListView. The AutoComplete is working as expected.... but I noticed something when I was checking the values while debugging:
The actual ArrayLists, model (Restaurant) is getting updated after adding an object to the adapter , but prevAddressList (String) is not.
Unless, I set the AutoCompleteTextField empty.... then, the prevAddressList gets updated after adding something to the second adapter.
Already tried using notifyDataSetChanged(), but it makes no difference (and it is set to true on every adapter by default anyway).
Other behavior that differs between the two adapters is that in the first one (Restaurant), values are going to the mObjects field, while in the second one (String) they are going to mOriginalValues instead.
I'm completely stomped. The only difference between those two adapters is that one is type "Restaurant" and the other is type "String".
Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing something very obvious? Let me know if you need the full code.
thanks
Instead of adding it to the adapter, try adding the object to your list and then calling notifyDataSetChanged on your adapter. The adapter should pick up your changes and your list of course will have the object you just added.
For anyone coming here from google:
Unable to modify ArrayAdapter in ListView: UnsupportedOperationException
This might explain the behavior, although I have to test it myself.
