textview of listview in android

I have Listview that contains a Textview, I populate data from sqlite inside them , now I want to change the textview background color for each row based on the value in each one.
I couldn't do it , can anybody help me for how to get each textview from the listview ??
Edit :
Here is my code to populate the listview:
sql = new SqlCommands(getApplicationContext());
Fields = new String[]{SqlCommands.Group, SqlCommands.Subject, SqlCommands.Body, SqlCommands.DateTime};
int [] Dview = new int []{R.id.grop, R.id.sbj,R.id.bdy,R.id.DT};
Cursor c = sql.GetData();
Adpt = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getApplicationContext(),R.layout.items, c , Fields, Dview ,0 );
NotiLst.setAdapter(Adpt);
this is the XML file for the items :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/grp_shap" >
<ImageView android:id="#+id/Prio"
android:layout_width="32dip"
android:layout_height="32dip"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/grop"
android:layout_width="64sp"
android:layout_height="40sp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/Prio"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="S"
android:textSize="12sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/DT"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="14sp"

android:src="#drawable/highprio" />
</RelativeLayout>
and I have a listview on the activity_mail layout which populated whith this items.
I want to change the color for the textview with id grop based on the value inserted on it

You should use a custom adapter:
public class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private static class ViewHolder {
public final TextView mTv;
}
private final Context mContext;
private final List<String> mList; //you can change this to String array
public MyAdapter (Context context, List<String> list) {
this.mContext = context;
this.mList= list;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mList.size();
}
#Override
public String getItem(int position) {
return mList.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder h;
final String string = mList.get(position);
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = View.inflate(mContext, R.layout.item_listview, null);
h = new ViewHolder();
h.mTv= (TextView) convertView .findViewById(R.id.mTvRes);
convertView.setTag(h);
} else {
h = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
h.mTv.setText....
h.mTv.setTextColor....
h.mTv.setBackground....
return convertView;
}
}
in your activity:
List<String> list = Arrays.asList(Fields);
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(this, list);
NotiLst.setAdapter(adapter);
I didn't checked it and you maybe need to do some changes but it should work.

If you have something like this:
#Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder viewHolder;
if(convertView == null) {
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
convertView = inflater.inflate(resource, parent, false);
viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
viewHolder.label = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
viewHolder.label.setBackground(getResources().getColor(color.white));
convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
} else {
viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
viewHolder.label.setText(activitiesList.get(position).getName());
return convertView;
}

Add a drop down menu for each item of a Custom ListView

I have a Custom List view that works perfectly.
Now, I want to have a drop down menu for each item in the list so that when the user taps on any item of the list,the drop down menu shows two options-edit and delete. According to the user's choice the list view item is taken care of.
I want to know the method of adding the drop down menu to each listview item.

Listview with button OnItemClickListener is not calling

I create a custom listview with a TextView and 2 ImageButton. But onitemclicklistner is not calling. Here is my code
police_station_list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.police_station_listView_xml);
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.coustome_listview, R.id.district_listview_xml1, police_station_name);
PSAdapter = new Police_Station_Adapter(this);
police_station_list.setAdapter(PSAdapter);
police_station_list.setOnItemClickListener(PSAdapter);
Here is my custom ArrayAdapter class:
public class Police_Station_Adapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> implements OnItemClickListener{
Context context;
public Police_Station_Adapter(Context context) {
//super(context, R.layout.police_station_listview, R.id.police_station_listView_textView, police_station_name);
super(context, R.layout.police_station_listview, police_station_name);
this.context = context;
}
private class ViewHolder {
TextView tv;
ImageButton mobile, phone;
public ViewHolder(View v) {
tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.police_station_listView_textView);
mobile = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.police_station_listView_imageButton_mobile);
phone = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.police_station_listView_imageButton_phone);
}
}
ViewHolder holder;
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = convertView;
if(v == null) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.police_station_listview, parent, false);
holder = new ViewHolder(v);
v.setTag(holder);
}
else {
holder = (ViewHolder) v.getTag();
}
holder.tv.setText(police_station_name[position]);
holder.mobile.setTag(position);
holder.mobile.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
new Message(context, police_station_name[(Integer) v.getTag()]+" button", 500);
}
});
return v;
}
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, final int position, long id) {
new Message(context, "Item Clicked", 500); //Toast message
}
}
Here is the custom ListView 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="40dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/police_station_listView_textView"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_weight="8"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/police_station_listView_imageButton_mobile"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="27dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:background="#drawable/mobile_icon" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/police_station_listView_imageButton_phone"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="27dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/telephone_icon" />
</LinearLayout>
it's seems like i can add onClikcListner for textview but it doesn't show any pressed animation. It may not be the appropriate solution. I need the proper way to setOnItemClickListner.

You need to set OnItemClickListener in your Activity. then change this
police_station_list.setOnItemClickListener(PSAdapter); to
police_station_list.setOnItemClickListener(this);
Remove implementation of OnItemClickListener from adapter.
Check this tutorial.

add this attribute to imageButton:
android:focusable="false"

How to get checked items from a custom adapter?

The listview I used has custom xml and adapter. I want to get the checked items from this listview from anywhere. My xml is here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/cb"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:paddingBottom="30dp"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:paddingRight="15dp"
android:paddingLeft="50dp"
android:text="Item" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:paddingRight="15dp"
android:paddingBottom="15dp"
android:paddingLeft="50dp"
android:text="Subtitle"
android:layout_below="#+id/text" />
</RelativeLayout>
My adapter is here:
private final List<Model> list;
private final List<Model> list2;
private final Activity context;
boolean checkAll_flag = false;
boolean checkItem_flag = false;
public Adapter(Activity context, List<Model> list, List<Model> list2) {
super(context, R.layout.listview, list);
this.context = context;
this.list = list;
this.list2 = list2;
}
static class ViewHolder {
protected TextView text;
protected TextView text2;
protected CheckBox checkbox;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder viewHolder = null;
if (convertView == null) {
LayoutInflater inflator = context.getLayoutInflater();
convertView = inflator.inflate(R.layout.listview, null);
viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
viewHolder.text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.text);
viewHolder.text2 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.text2);
viewHolder.checkbox = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.cb);
viewHolder.checkbox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
int getPosition = (Integer) buttonView.getTag();
list.get(getPosition).sec(buttonView.isChecked());
}
});
convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
convertView.setTag(R.id.text, viewHolder.text);
convertView.setTag(R.id.text2, viewHolder.text2);
convertView.setTag(R.id.cb, viewHolder.checkbox);
} else {
viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
viewHolder.checkbox.setTag(position);
viewHolder.text.setText(list.get(position).isimGetir());
viewHolder.text2.setText(list2.get(position).isimGetir());
viewHolder.checkbox.setChecked(list.get(position).secilimi());
return convertView;
}
My aim is that getting checked items from a method placed in Main activity. However I cannot catch the values of checkboxes because of they're custom.

An approach you might use is to keep track of the checked items in the main activity by calling back to the main activity via intent or public method to maintain a list of them. Add and remove as the checked condition changes. You can fire off the intent or method whenever the checked value changes or on load in the adapter.

ListView is showing gapes in list items Android

i am trying to implement listView through setListAdapter and Efficient Adapter. I want that when list is show then the background should not be repeat. My code is repeating the whole layout of list.xml due to which my list item are showing with so much gap.
Right now my list is working like that:
But i want this type of view:
Here is my editText.xml in which i type the word and a list View is opened.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/start_edit"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="top|left"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Type to search"
android:paddingLeft="50dp" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
this layout is for list.xml :
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout_list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/blue_cellbar" >
the list.xml file is repeating the layout in Effecient adapter:
here is my code:
listAdapter = new EfficientAdapter2(this);
setListAdapter(listAdapter);
public static class viewHolder2 {
TextView word;
TextView meaning;
ImageView image;
ImageView image_color;
RelativeLayout cell;
}
private class EfficientAdapter2 extends BaseAdapter implements Filterable,OnItemClickListener {
private Context context;
LayoutInflater inflater;
public EfficientAdapter2(Context context) {
this.context = context;
inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
public int getCount() {
// if(SearchWordString.isEmpty()==false)
// {
return SearchWordString.size();
/// }
//return 0;
}
public Object getItem(int position) {
return position;
}
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
viewHolder2 holder;
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list, null);
ViewToUse=parent;
holder = new viewHolder2();
// Log.i("View","is Null");
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
//Log.i("View","is not Null");
holder = (viewHolder2) convertView.getTag();

I hope you have not provide android:dividerHeight attribute in your layout file under <ListView/>
If so please remove it.

this problem occurs when you have set the adapter class xml, parent root
match_content instead of wrap_content.
set the root content height wrap_content
As i can see in adapter layout there is no parent root like relative, linearlayout, Framelayout and ConstraintLayout etc.
