I am trying to create a ListView where each entry in the list consists of a LinearLayout. I have an ArrayList that I have defined here:
ArrayList<LinearLayout> menuList;.
Later in my code, I define
LinearLayout dailyMenuLayout = new LinearLayout(ReturnMenus.this);, and every time I complete a layout to be added to the ListView, I use menuList.add(DailyMenuList)
The adapter that I have been trying to use is as follows -- but it crashes the app every time that it is triggered.
ListView myListView = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
ArrayAdapter<LinearLayout> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<LinearLayout>(ReturnMenus.this, R.id.linear_layout_item, menuList);
myListView.setAdapter(adapter);
And this is the XML for the single row in the ListView:
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linear_layout_item"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Can somebody show me how to accomplish this? Thanks.
Use something like following layout for the row layout in your list rather than you current layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
.
.
.
.
.
</LinearLayout>
Here if you do not know exactly how many textView that you are going to use, use maximum number of TextView that using in your application. Then in your adapter class inside getView() you can get those TextView. If some rows not going to use all of these textViews then set them invisible as like this:
TextView txtView3 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text3);
txtView3.setVisibility(View.GONE)
Following tutorial helps you to create the listView.
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidListView/article.html
You should bind data to adapter,such as strings,not the layout.
To see how to use ListView and Adapter,please check the demo project in your-android-sdk-dir\samples\android-XX\ApiDemos.

I need your help. My problem is that I'm trying to create a layout that have a static textView and in the bottom a List with an adapter. I don't know how to do that. There is what I want that the layout show me:
NameOfPerson //The static text
Exm1
Exm2
Exm3
The problem is show the list with the static text, and/or show the static text with the list. What I have to do? I have to use fragments?
Thanks,
What's wrong with that solution?
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
Try this code :
View footerView = ((LayoutInflater) ActivityContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.footer_layout, null, false);
ListView.addFooterView(footerView);
See ListView.html.addHeaderView.
Do your ListView as you normally would, and add the extra view with addHeaderView. Be sure to call addHeaderView before setAdapter though, otherwise it won't have any effect.
I want to allow my ListView to be wrapped to its content on its width and making it aligning to the parent centre.
This is what a normal ListView is giving me
This is almost what i want to achieve, only that i want the ListView to wrap by the longest test in the ListView. Currently this is achieved by declaring the dp which is something I would like to avoid if possible
Some codes for first image:
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lst_test"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</ListView>
Some codes for second image:
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lst_test"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</ListView>
Do I have to use custom adapter for this or I can stick with the current one? If I would need to use custom adapter, how do i go about doing this?
You don't need to create custom adapter. Here is an example which can help you.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
HashMap <String, CheckBox> options = new HashMap<String, CheckBox>();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ListView list_view = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
ArrayList<String> str = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
str.add("Example " + i);
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_layout, R.id.textView1, str);
list_view.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
Above I have created an activity in which i am getting listview and setting data using ArrayAdapter.
I have created two layouts :
First layout: Contains listview.
Second layout: Contains textview which need to display.
Main logic to align data at center of Listview is you need to set gravity of textview as center.
You can manage second layout according to your needs.
Here is my first XML layout:
<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:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
</ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
Here is my second layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>
If you are still facing any problem then you can ask. If you need more flexibility then you can create custom adapter by inheriting ArrayAdapter class.
Here is an example of custom adapter: How do I link a checkbox for every contact in populated listview?
Hope it will help you.
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/empty"
style="#style/FacebookFont"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="#string/no_result_found"
android:textColor="#color/white" />
this is the xml code for empty view. I am setting empty view as follows:
list.setAdapter(adapter);
list.setEmptyView(findViewById(android.R.id.empty));
I have the items in the listview even then also before listview is populated the empty view is shown.
I don't want that empty view to be shown when listview contains some item.
Please help.
if you are using ListActivity then no need to set the empty view manually. Remove list.setEmptyView(findViewById(android.R.id.empty)); from your code.
Change your layout like below then it's automatically add EmptyView if list has no item:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:paddingRight="8dp">
<ListView android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#00FF00"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/>
<TextView android:id="#android:id/empty"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:text="No data"/>
</LinearLayout>
You have to set the empty view before setting the adapter, if your MainActivity is not extending ListActivity.
Try this
list.setEmptyView(findViewById(android.R.id.empty));
list.setAdapter(adapter);
Sorry for the late answer!
Alternate method: Make your activity extend from ListActivity. And add a textview to your list layout with id android.R.id.empty
Try this
View view = getLayoutInflater() .inflate(<resource id of the empty view>, null);
ViewGroup viewGroup= ( ViewGroup)list.getParent();
viewGroup.addView(view);
list.setEmptyView(view);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
There are some correct answers, however, I think this is the best approach I've found:
View emptyView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.empty_list_cart, null);
addContentView(emptyView, listView.getLayoutParams()); // You're using the same params as listView
listView.setEmptyView(emptyView);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
Whatever #dhawalSodhaParmar has explained is correct. But there is a confusion when you look at the way the answer is put down.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:divider="#null"

<!-- Empty view is only visible when the list has no items. -->
<TextView

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

Suppose if you already have a list view and adapter backing the same with data. And assuming everything is working fine, whoever wants to implement this empty list view screen has to start like below:
Step 1:
Modify the existing Activity XML file which has the list view with the one I have used here. You can use either a Linear Layout or Relative Layout, but preferably Relative because of the flexibility. And a textView like I have written.
Step 2:
Go to your Activity Java file, and after your setContentView
ListView emptyListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
// set your adapter here
// set your click listener here
// or whatever else
emptyListView.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.empty_text_view));
That's it, now run and you are set!
// first of all create a global variable of Text view
// which is displayed when the list is empty
private TextView mEmptyStateTextView;
//then in onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
/Setting empty text view
mEmptyStateTextView=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.emptyview);
view.setEmptyView(mEmptyStateTextView);
//then in onLoadfinished method
mEmptyStateTextView.setText(R.string.no_earthquakes);
There is a ListView in layout of my Activity.
listview_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<ListView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/MyListView" />
</LinearLayout>
I am using another layout for ListItem of ListView.
listitem_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtTitle"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/MySpinner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
My Activity’s layout is the same with the listview_layout.xml’s.
I use SimpleAdapter cited the layout of listitem_layout.xml.
The problwm: Now I want to get the Spinner control ID of listview_layout.xm.
I use findViewById(MySpinner) in activity of ListView, it has the error of null pointer exception.
can not find. Because the Activity layout files use the listview_layout.xml’s and Spinner control in listview_layout.xml.
anyone's help is very thankful.
you cannot directly use the findViewById(spinnerId). You have to override the getView() method of Custom Adapter instead of Simple Adapter and inside that inflate the listitem_layout to a view(v) and then use v.findViewById(spinnerId).
Refer the below link which will help you in creating custom adapter (Weather Adapter in the link's example). in the example ImageView object is created in the GetView method. Instead of that you use Spinner.
Im having trouble with implementing list view inside a fragment.
the xml code is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/jo_logo" />
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
simple ImageView and afterwards the list view.
I've already tried to implement:
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity().getBaseContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, viewList);
setListAdapter(adapter);
where viewList is View[], on the onCreateView function.
seems that it's not working that way inside fragment.
thing is i need that the first view will be ImageView and second one is ListView, and all inside the Fragment.
please help, thank in advance, udi
In your layout xml change android:id="#+id/listView1" to android:id="#android:id/list" otherwise the ListActivity / ListFragment won't find your ListView.
