i want to set numbering in tvSlNo.
please help

In your getView() method of your listViewAdapter simply use the position variable and set it on your TextView. You may need to add 1 to the position since it starts with 0. So use (position+1) and then set it to your TextView

Though this question may be too late but for other reference purposes.
Check where you have this code: txt.setText(position + 1);
you are close to your solution. You just have to typecast position + 1 to String since setText() only take String alone.

ListView updated from EditText

I have a Custom Listview that it is updated from a EditText component in a dialog. I have the custom row, the adapter class and the custom dialog all working but I can't seem to trigger the code in the adatper class that would add the text from the edit text control to the list. Here is my activity code, let me know if you want the adapter code. It worked before I added the custom row and adapter to the list :(
Symptom of problem: emailAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); does nothing
public class InvitePlayers_Activity extends Activity {
ListViewAdapter emailAdapter = null;
ImageView imgView_mail;
ImageView imgView_confirm;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); //remove title bar
setContentView(R.layout.activity_inviteplayers);
//Generate list View from ArrayList
displayListView();
}
private void displayListView() {
//assign controls
final ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView_invitePlayers);
imgView_mail = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgView_mail);
//Test data
ArrayList<String> inviteNew = new ArrayList<String>();
final ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> inviteList = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
emailAdapter = new ListViewAdapter(this,inviteList);
listView.setAdapter(emailAdapter);
// Assign adapter to ListView
listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
//Edit listeners
imgView_mail.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view)
{
//variables
final String enteredMail = "testListViewEntry";
final ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> inviteList = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
ArrayList<String> invite = new ArrayList<String>();
invite.add(0, enteredMail);//add first email
invite.add(1,"icon_invitestatussent.png"); //add first status icon
inviteList.add(invite);
emailAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
listView.setAdapter(emailAdapter);
}
});
}
}
Adapter code as requested
public class ListViewAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private Activity context;
ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> inviteDetails = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
public ListViewAdapter(Activity context, ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> inviteDetails ) {
this.inviteDetails = inviteDetails;
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return inviteDetails.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int i) {
return inviteDetails.get(i).get(0);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int i) {
return i;
}
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent){
//Inflater
LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
//get row view
if (view == null) {
LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater)
context.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_email, null);
}
//assign controls
final TextView textView_playerEmail = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_playerEmail);
ImageView imgView_inviteStatus = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imgView_inviteStatus);
//Assign control values that are dynamic
textView_playerEmail.setText(inviteDetails.get(position).get(0));
imgView_inviteStatus.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon_invitestatussent);
return view;
}
#Override
public void notifyDataSetChanged() {
super.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
Custom row xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Well, for what we discussed, you wanted something like this:
When you want to make a custom ListView, you have to write your own adapter. In this particular case I'm subclassing the BaseAdapter class.
This custom adapter will take hold of my data model, and will inflate the data to my ListView rows.
First, I'll create the XML of my custom row. You can see the code below.
item_mail.xml
<?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:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Test text"
android:id="#+id/tv_mail"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/iv_icon"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#android:drawable/ic_menu_report_image" />
</RelativeLayout>
Here I've created a row that displays a text and an image.
Now, I'll create my custom adapter to handle this XML. As you can see below.
MailAdapter.java
public class MailAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private static final String LOG_TAG = MailAdapter.class.getSimpleName();
private Context context_;
private ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> mailitems;
public MailAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> mailitems) {
this.context_ = context;
this.mailitems = mailitems;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mailitems.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return mailitems.get(position).get(0);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (convertView == null) {
LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater)
context_.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.item_mail, null);
}
TextView tv_mail = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tv_mail);
ImageView iv_icon = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.iv_icon);
String mail = mailitems.get(position).get(0);
String icon = mailitems.get(position).get(1);
Log.d(LOG_TAG,"Mail: " + mail + " mail_icon: " + icon);
tv_mail.setText(mail);
// iv_icon.setImageURI(); Here you can do whatever logic you want to update your image, using URI's, ID's, or something else.
return convertView;
}
}
Ok. Now we have everything to make this work. In your Activity class, do something like that:
activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:text="#string/hello_world"
android:id="#+id/tv_header"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/tv_header">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Add mail"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
<ListView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/listView" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private int numMail = 1; // Dummy int to create my items with different numbers.
private MailAdapter mailAdapter; // Your custom adapter.
private ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> mailItems; // This is going to be your data structure, everytime you change it, call the notifyDataSetChanged() method.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button bt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
ListView lv_mail = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
mailItems = new ArrayList<>();
mailAdapter = new MailAdapter(this,mailItems);
lv_mail.setAdapter(mailAdapter);
bt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
addItem(); // The method I'm using to insert the item. Look for it below.
}
});
}
// Here I'm creating a new ArrayList, and appending it to my 'mailItems' Array. After that, I'm notifying the adapter that my data changed.
private void addItem() {
ArrayList<String> mail = new ArrayList<>();
mail.add(0,"mail " + numMail++);
mail.add(1,"path_to_image"); // Depending on what you want to do, put your path, URI, or whatever other way you want to store that image data.
mailItems.add(mail); // Inserting the data on the ArrayList.
mailAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); // Notifying the adapter that my ArrayList was modified.
}
}
This should do the trick.
I guess your problem was that you weren't updating the same ArrayList that was in your custom adapter. That's why when you called notifyDataSetChanged()nothing happened, I mean. You were creating a new ArrayList, which wasn't the same that was in your adapter. So here's what I did... I've made the ArrayList global, and then I've used it in my custom adapter constructor. After that, when the user triggers the onClick() method of my button, I'm inserting some new data on my global Array, and then I'm notifying the adapter that the data changed.
You can read a little more about that here and I've found a similar question here, which you can read as well.
Edit: Another related question, which might be an interesting read.

Android custom ListView layout problems

Hi guys, I tried to learn how to use custom ListView by this page
It works fine but I have problems with another options.
Cannot set margin to listItems
Cannot set backgro
Cannot set OnItemClickListener
1# Margin
First of all I'm trying to set margin between list items but nothing works. I try to set margin on RelativeLayout in rowlayout.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:background="#drawable/rounded"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
>
2# Background
I want to set background on whole screen under listView. I think I put black color on every View in every xml I found but nothing affect the background. I can change background of single list items, that's all.
android:background="#000000"
3#OnItemClickListener
My last problem is that I'm not able to set onItemClickListener. I have no idea how to set it if I don't have simply ListView but RelativeLayout with TextView etc.
I guess I have to use
setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
and after that
public void onClick(View arg0) {
but I have no idea on which View I have to use this method.

Looks like you are half way there in your activity.
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(this, generateData());
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.menu);
listView.setAdapter(adapter); if extending Activity
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
{
//You now have the position but you will need to get your model list and use .get(position) and cast it to Model to get access to it.
}
});
}

//First define your list view item xml… something like this.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#color/white"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:padding="10dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/custom_blue"
android:text="TextView" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:textColor="#color/custom_grey"
android:text="TextView" />
</LinearLayout>
//Then you define your list list adapter.
public class MyListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<MyModel> {
private Context context;
private ArrayList<MyModel> myModel;
public MyListAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<MyModel> myModelList) {
super(context, R.id.icon, myModelList);
this.context = context;
this.myModelList = myModelList;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = null;
View rowView = convertView;
TextView myItemName = (TextView)rowView.findViewById(R.id.item1);
TextView myItemTitle = (TextView)rowView.findViewById(R.id.item2);
//use your models getters/setters
myItemName.setText(myModelList.get(position).getItemTitle());
myItemTitle.setText(myModelList.get(position).getItemName());
return rowView
}
}
//Now use both the list adapter and list item in your ListFragment or ListActivity.
ArrayList<MyModel> myModelList = new ArrayList<MyModel>();
MyListAdapter myApt = new MyListAdapter(this, myModelList);
setListAdapter(myApt);
//For clicking on the items:
#Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
// ListView Clicked item value
String itemValue = l.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
doSomethingWihtMyItemMethod(position);
}
/* You can customize your list item anyway you like, just be aware of screen real estate when doing so.Hope this helps. */

Show Multiple Data in ListView

I am new in android. I want to show the data that I get from Database into ListView.
For now I can show only a single data.
How to show multiple data into custom ListView?
Here's my MainActivity.class
DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(this);
/**
* CRUD Operations
* */
Log.d("Reading: ", "Reading all contacts..");
List <AllItem> allItems = new ArrayList<AllItem>();
allItems = db.getAllAccommodations();
ArrayList <String> allItems2 = new ArrayList<String>();
for (AllItem cn : allItems) {
allItems2.add(cn.getItem_name());
allItems2.add(cn.getAreaNAme());
}
ArrayAdapter <String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter <String> (this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,allItems2);
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
I have my own custom ListView like this
Acco.xml
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listAccommodation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="8"
android:layout_marginLeft="7dip"
android:layout_marginRight="7dip"
android:background="#color/white"
android:divider="#color/black90"
android:dividerHeight="5.0sp"
android:listSelector="#color/black30" >
</ListView>
AccoLayout.xml
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="10dip"
android:paddingTop="10dip"
android:paddingBottom="10dip" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/area_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:layout_below="#+id/item_name" />
</RelativeLayout>
Is there anyone can help me with this?

You need to create CustomAdapter class for this.
Use your listview as it is.
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listAccommodation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="8"
android:layout_marginLeft="7dip"
android:layout_marginRight="7dip"
android:background="#color/white"
android:divider="#color/black90"
android:dividerHeight="5.0sp"
android:listSelector="#color/black30" >
</ListView>
And your custom Listview also.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="10dip"
android:paddingTop="10dip"
android:paddingBottom="10dip" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/area_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:layout_below="#+id/item_name" />
</RelativeLayout>
Create your custom adapter class and pass data to this class.
adapter = new ListAdapter(this, allItems2);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
Here is CustomAdapter class.
public class ListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
public ListAdapter(Activity a, List <AllItem> allItems) {
activity = a;
data = d;
inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
public int getCount() {
return data.size();
}
public Object getItem(int position) {
return position;
}
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View vi = convertView;
if (convertView == null)
vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.AccoLayout, null);
TextView itemName = (TextView)vi.findviewById(R.id.item_name);
TextView areaName = (TextView)vi.findviewById(R.id.area_name);
// Set your data here
itenName.setText(data.get(position));//like this
return vi;
}
}

I assume that your allItems2 list has a pattern like itemName0, areaName0, itemName1, areaName1, itemName2.. etc. Then, you can write a custom adapter like this.
public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private final Activity context;
private final List<String> items;
public CustomAdapter (Activity context, List<String> items) {
super(context, R.layout.AccoLayout, items);
this.context = context;
this.items= items;
}
#Override
public View getView(final int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.AccoLayout, null, true);
TextView itemName = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.item_name);
TextView areaName= (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.area_name);
itemName.setText(items.get(2*position));
areaName.setText(items.get(2*position + 1));
return rowView;
}
}
Then call it from your main activity;
CustopAdapter adapter = new CustomAdapter (MainActivity.this, allItems2);
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
Also, by Android's convention, try not to use uppercase letters in XML file names to prevent any complication. You may change to acco_layout.xml.

Consider this to be your Cursor: after you fetch from DB
Cursor mCur = db.getAllAccommodations();
in onCreate:
CurAdapter Cur = new CurAdapter(getActivity(), mCur,0);
final ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listAccommodation);
lv.setFastScrollEnabled(true);
lv.setAdapter(Cur);
Then Make a Subclass:
private class CurAdapter extends CursorAdapter{
public CurAdapter(Context context, Cursor c, int flags) {
super(context, c, flags);
}
#Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.item_name);
TextView tv1 = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.area_name);
String item = (cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("ColumnName1")));
String area = dateConvert(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("ColumnName2")));
tv1.setText(item);
tv.setText(area);
}
#Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.AccoLayout, null);
return view;
}
}
Where R.layout.AccoLayout is your "listview row" layout, for example:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="10dip"
android:paddingLeft="10dip"
android:paddingTop="10dip" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/area_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/item_name"
android:textSize="14sp" />
</RelativeLayout>

Android - ListView refresh/update from the Main Activity where it is called

I have an application that lists the values of a product by Variant, Unit, and Quantity.
I have an activity where the ListView is shown:
public class OrderForm extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_order_form);
ArrayList image_details = getListData();
final ListView lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.custom_list);
lv1.setAdapter(new CustomListAdapter(this, image_details));
}
private ArrayList getListData() {
ArrayList results = new ArrayList();
OrderDetailsClass orderData = new OrderDetailsClass();
return results;
}
public void onAddItem(View view){
ArrayList results = new ArrayList();
OrderDetailsClass orderData = new OrderDetailsClass();
orderData = new OrderDetailsClass();
orderData.setVariants("Flavored");
orderData.setUnit("cans");
orderData.setQuantity(1);
results.add(orderData);
//selectVariant();
//selectUnit();
//selectQuantity();
}
}
This is my CustomAdapter
public class CustomListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<OrderDetailsClass> listData;
private LayoutInflater layoutInflater;
public CustomListAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<OrderDetailsClass> listData) {
this.listData = listData;
layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return listData.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return listData.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row_layout, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.variantView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.variant);
holder.unitView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.unit);
holder.quantityView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.quantity);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.variantView.setText(listData.get(position).getVariants());
holder.unitView.setText("By, " + listData.get(position).getUnit());
holder.quantityView.setText(String.valueOf(listData.get(position).getQuantity()));
return convertView;
}
static class ViewHolder {
TextView variantView;
TextView unitView;
TextView quantityView;
}
public void updateResults(ArrayList<OrderDetailsClass> results) {
listData = results;
//Triggers the list update
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
This is list_row_layout
<?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:minHeight="50dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="5dip"

<TextView
android:id="#+id/variant"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="variant" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/unit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="unit" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/quantity"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="quantity" />
</RelativeLayout>
This is the activity_order_form
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/custom_list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="386dp"
android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:onClick="onAddItem"
android:text="Add" />
</RelativeLayout>
What I want to do is that when I press the onAddItem function, after the data has been added, the ListView will refresh and display the changes. So far, what I've seen is that notifyDataSetChanged() being used in the BaseAdapter class. I've tried it but it seems that notifyDataSetChanged() should be called within BaseAdapter, I want to be able to refresh from my OrderForm activity.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Keep a reference to your CustomAdapter in OrderForm activity:
public class OrderForm extends Activity {
CustomListAdapter customListAdapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_order_form);
ArrayList image_details = getListData();
final ListView lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.custom_list);
customListAdapter = new CustomListAdapter(this, image_details);
lv1.setAdapter(customListAdapter);
}
Then you can call customAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(). This is a public method on the adapter so you can call it from the activity just fine.
