Display text window over top of list view - android

I have a list view with 10 or so items. Each has a corresponding text file. I can right now determine when and which element is pressed. My issue is being able to display the text file overtop of the list view. I tried putting in a Text view and making it visable when pressed but it crashes the app. How can I on press of a list view element have a pop up text view open without starting a new intent.
Thank you

Android Studio is there a way to add a title text above a list view item?

Like the title is there any way to make the contents of a list view be displayed with a title and a body?
I'm making a note taking app and so far i can write into a text box and save to a list view which is displayed in my main view one after the other.

AutoCompleteTextView - how to add an image and a text to auto completed text?

I have the following layout in my app -
What I want to achieve is the following -
1) The red line - I want to have above the suggestions a hard coded text saying "did you mean" and then the recommended. This text should be replaced when there are 0 characters in the AutoCompleteTextView and say "recent search". How can I do that?
2) The blue line - I want to have an image near each row item - how can I add them?
3) I would like to add a magnifying glass image before the searched text query starts to write. How can I add it?
As stated in the title, I am using AutoCompleteTextView.
You can create custom view for your autocomplete textview and set that view into adapter. custom view contain imageview and textview as you want in horizontal row.

How to create icon view to list view and vice versa switching mechanism in android

I am looking to create an application where some items are showcased. Currently they are being shown in a list with title, subtitle, icon and some information. I am thinking of implementing a layout switcher here, which will enable to user to change this view to lets say icon view where they may be displayed as a grid of 3 columns. Also this switching can be animated if possible. There will be two buttons over the view, one representing list view and other icon. Clicking on any will show up the respective view. Any idea how to do that??
for list
gridview.setNumColumns(1);
and for grid
gridview.setNumColumns(2);
You can switch the view shown in activity using setContentView() method you can call setcontentview in onClick callback.so that whole you can switch between gridview and listview.
Cheers....

Edit Text which gives suggestions from the list view under it

In my Android app, I have this screen where the top part is a search box kind of thing and below it there is a ListView. Now the requirement is that when a user starts typing something in the search box I have push up items from the list view which match that pattern.
I have thought of using Auto Complete TextView, but that does not help because the items displayed must be in the list view itself where they can be clicked. They just need to be pushed up the list when they match the pattern of text typed in the Search box above.
How to achieve this ?
Please Help.
use addTextChangedListener in EditText to get user interactin with EditText and update the ListVIew using notifyDataSetChanged();. Try to use Handler

You need to set attr_android:duplicateParentState to true so your TextView receive state changes from it's parent.
