This code i have taken it from here itself.
The problem I am facing is,as soon as the main activity loads,there are 2 toast msgs being displayed of the first item.
And when I'm selecting first element,the toast msg is displaying the 2nd element.Some problem in the index is occurring.
Plz help.
Thankss.

Android Webview: Override Contextual Action Bar

I am trying to override a contextual action bar in Android Webview. When I long click on a selected word, the custom action bar is displayed. However, when I click on the action bar button, nothing happens.
It seems like the onContextItemSelected() function is not called. This is my code:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.dictionary);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.wv);
}
#Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.save_word:
Toast.makeText(CheckDictionary.this,"Save Word Meaning Successfully",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
default:
break;
}
if (mActionMode != null) {
mActionMode.finish();
}
return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
public void onActionModeStarted(ActionMode mode) {
if (mActionMode == null) {
mActionMode = mode;
mode.setTitle("Save Word Meaning");
Menu menu = mode.getMenu();
menu.clear();
mode.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.dictionary_menu, menu);
}
super.onActionModeStarted(mode);
}
#Override
public void onActionModeFinished(ActionMode mode) {
mActionMode = null;
super.onActionModeFinished(mode);
}
}

I am doing this job on my old projects like this:
private String[] data = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9","10"};
private SelectionAdapter mAdapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mAdapter = new SelectionAdapter(this,
R.layout.row_list_item, R.id.textView1, data);
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL);
getListView().setMultiChoiceModeListener(new MultiChoiceModeListener() {
private int nr = 0;
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mAdapter.clearSelection();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
nr = 0;
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.contextual_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.item_delete:

mAdapter.clearSelection();
mode.finish();
}
return false;
}
#Override

long id, boolean checked) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (checked) {
nr++;
mAdapter.setNewSelection(position, checked);
} else {
nr--;
mAdapter.removeSelection(position);
}
mode.setTitle(nr + " selected");
}
});

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return false;
}
});
}
private class SelectionAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String {
private HashMap<Integer, Boolean mSelection = new HashMap<Integer, Boolean();
public SelectionAdapter(Context context, int resource,
int textViewResourceId, String[] objects) {

}
public void setNewSelection(int position, boolean value) {

}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

v.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.background_light));
if (mSelection.get(position) != null) {
v.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.holo_blue_light);
}
return v;
}
}
You can make changes in this code according to your needs...

try below steps
public class MyWebView extends WebView {
MyActivity theListener;
Context context;
GestureDetector gd;
public MyWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attributes) {
super(context, attributes);
this.context = context;
gd = new GestureDetector(context, sogl);
}
// This is new
public void setListener(MyActivity l) {
theListener = l;
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
return gd.onTouchEvent(event);
}
GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener sogl =
new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
public boolean onDown(MotionEvent event) {
return true;
}
public void onLongPress(MotionEvent event) {
theListener.onLongClick(MyWebView.this);
}
};
}
and in activity
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout);
MyWebView mwv = (MyWebView) findViewById(R.id.mwv);
registerForContextMenu(mwv);
}
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
openContextMenu(v);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.context, menu);
}

How to delete items on the listview in Fragments?

I want to delete the items from the fragments. When long click on the items than a action bar is changed and a delete button appears. I click on the delete button The item seems to be deleted from the list view. But when I restart the app the item appears again.
public class ReadFragment extends Fragment {
ListView spinner;
TextView empty;
String selected;
List<String> list;
String[] filenames;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_read, container,
false);
spinner = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
this.spinner.setEmptyView(rootView.findViewById(R.id.emptyElement));
getFilenames();
getactionbar();
return rootView;
}
private void getFilenames() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
filenames = getActivity().fileList();
list = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < filenames.length; i++) {
// Log.d("Filename", filenames[i]);
list.add(filenames[i]);
}
ArrayAdapter<String> filenameAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
android.R.id.text1, list);
spinner.setAdapter(filenameAdapter);
spinner.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
selected = ((TextView) view).getText().toString();
Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), ReadData.class);
intent.putExtra("key", selected);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
private void getactionbar() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
spinner.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL);
spinner.setMultiChoiceModeListener(new MultiChoiceModeListener() {
#Override
public void onItemCheckedStateChanged(ActionMode mode, int position,
long id, boolean checked) {
// Here you can do something when items are selected/de-selected,
// such as update the title in the CAB
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
// Respond to clicks on the actions in the CAB
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.ic_action_discard:
deletefiles();
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Deleted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
mode.finish(); // Action picked, so close the CAB
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
private void deletefiles() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
SparseBooleanArray checkedItemPositions = spinner.getCheckedItemPositions();
int itemCount = spinner.getCount();
for(int i=itemCount-1; i >= 0; i--){
if(checkedItemPositions.get(i)){
filenameAdapter.remove(list.get(i));
}
}
checkedItemPositions.clear();
filenameAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu for the CAB
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.context, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
// Here you can make any necessary updates to the activity when
// the CAB is removed. By default, selected items are deselected/unchecked.
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// Here you can perform updates to the CAB due to
// an invalidate() request
return false;
}
});
}
}
Can anyone help me deleting the item forever, I mean once it is deleted it should not appear in the listview again when the app is relaunched.

Try, tries it worked here
final Button btnRemove = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
btnRemove.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
lst.remove(adapter.getItem(2));
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});;

I don't know if it is intentionally, but you copy the items from the Activity into another array before passing it to the Adapter. So when you call adapter.remove() it only removes the item from the new one leaving the original List in the Activity untuched (guess you save that one to storage in the Activitys onPause or something).

Android delete selected item using contextual actionbar

So far, I have managed to follow this tutorial and run it successfully. But what I wanna do now is to actually delete selected items on my listview. This is the code I'm using:
private String[] data = {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine","Ten"};
private SelectionAdapter mAdapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mAdapter = new SelectionAdapter(this,
R.layout.row_list_item, R.id.textView1, data);
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL);
getListView().setMultiChoiceModeListener(new MultiChoiceModeListener() {
private int nr = 0;
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mAdapter.clearSelection();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
nr = 0;
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.contextual_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.item_delete:
nr = 0;
mAdapter.clearSelection();
mode.finish();
}
return true;
}
#Override
public void onItemCheckedStateChanged(ActionMode mode, int position,
long id, boolean checked) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (checked) {
nr++;
mAdapter.setNewSelection(position, checked);
} else {
nr--;
mAdapter.removeSelection(position);
}
mode.setTitle(nr + " selected");
}
});
getListView().setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
int position, long arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
getListView().setItemChecked(position, !mAdapter.isPositionChecked(position));
return false;
}
});
}
private class SelectionAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private HashMap<Integer, Boolean> mSelection = new HashMap<Integer, Boolean>();
public SelectionAdapter(Context context, int resource,
int textViewResourceId, String[] objects) {
super(context, resource, textViewResourceId, objects);
}
public void setNewSelection(int position, boolean value) {
mSelection.put(position, value);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public boolean isPositionChecked(int position) {
Boolean result = mSelection.get(position);
return result == null ? false : result;
}
public Set<Integer> getCurrentCheckedPosition() {
return mSelection.keySet();
}
public void removeSelection(int position) {
mSelection.remove(position);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public void clearSelection() {
mSelection = new HashMap<Integer, Boolean>();
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);//let the adapter handle setting up the row views
v.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.background_light)); //default color
if (mSelection.get(position) != null) {
v.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.holo_blue_light));// this is a selected position so make it red
}
return v;
}
}
Question is how do I delete the selected item/s? I can't figure it out and if anyone of you knows this and can help, I'd gladly appreciate it. Thanks.

In your code instead of using string [] data you can use ArrayList<String> data since it is dynamically sized array where the object is actually removed and the list (array) size is adjusted accordingly. With this change you can use following method.
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
List<Integer> keyList = new ArrayList<Integer>(noteAdptr.getCurrentCheckedPosition());
Collections.sort(keyList, new Comparator<Integer>() {
#Override
public int compare(Integer lhs, Integer rhs) {
return lhs.compareTo(rhs);
}
});
Collections.reverse(keyList);
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.item_delete:
nr = 0;
for (Integer i:keyList){
Log.e("", "items selected is : "+i);
data.remove((int)i);
}
mAdapter .notifyDataSetChanged();
mAdapter.clearSelection();
mode.finish();
}
return true;
}
Hope this helps

You can set a OnLongClickListener on the items in the ListView that just gets the item that is long pressed.
Afterwards you can reference/remove that object in your OnActionItemClicked.

I am not sure if you have already solved your problem, but here is what worked for me:
Create a private (or public) variable in your class: private int selectedPosition;
In your onItemLongClick() method (as far as I see that's the one, where you are selecting an item), put:
selectedPosition = position;
in OnActionItemClicked() you can get your adapter and do this:
MyAdapter adapter = (MyAdapter) this.getAdapter();
adapter.remove(adapter.getItem(selectedPosition);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
That way you passed the position of the selected item to your adapter.
Hope that helps!

You have to code the functionality yourself: in the onActionItemClicked, you have to code the logic that will erase selected items from your ArrayList.
Don't forget to call notifyDatasetChanged() on your adapter after that... ;-)

How to implement search functionality?

I am having a grid view and I have to add search functionality in the action bar.So that whatever i type to search,the items should come whatever i searched.Grid view is having image and text.I stuck in this very badly.I dont know how to implement it.I gone through android guide but I unable to get it.
Please suggest some easy way to do it.I need search like in watsaap application.
Any suggestion is appreciated.Thanks.
