Is it possible to add different items into android listview

i have a ListView in my application, i fetch contacts from user phonebook then displays them into ListView, now what i want to do is to add different child views into ListView item based on some condition like my application check each phonebook contact for it's availability on server database and what i want to achieve is to add voice/video call buttons for that particular contact and add invite button for all other contacts that are not available in database.
My condition applies on these three child's of ListView item, voice call button, video call button and invite button and my condition is if user is available in database then i only want to display voice/video call button and hide invite button but if the user is not available then i wan to display invite button and hide audio/video call buttons

Try this:
Add a boolean flag isAvailableInDB in your ContactItem.java class.
Get contact list from your phonebook and check one by one with your server database.
If a contactItem exist in your database just set flag isAvailableInDB as true oterwise false for that contactItem.
After that add contactItem to ArrayList
Create ContactsAdapter and set it to ListView
Finally, add a condition in your adapter's getView() method to check the contactItem flag isAvailableInDB. If true, show voice/video call button & hide invite button and if false, show invite button & hide voice/video call button.
Give an id to XML button's:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button_voice_call"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_user_audio_call_dark"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button_video_call"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_user_video_call_dark"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_invite"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:text="Invite"
android:background="#drawable/selector_button_green_oval"
android:textColor="#color/white"/>
In your adapter's getView() method:
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ContactItem contactItem = getItem(position);
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.contact_list_item, parent, false);
}
ImageView contactImage = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.contact_item_icon);
contactImage.setImageResource(contactItem.contactImage);
TextView contactName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.contact_item_name);
contactName.setText(contactItem.contactName);
TextView contactNumber = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.contact_item_number);
contactNumber.setText(contactItem.contactNumber);
ImageButton buttonVoiceCall= (ImageButton) convertView.findViewById(R.id.button_voice_call);
ImageButton buttonVideoCall= (ImageButton) convertView.findViewById(R.id.button_video_call);
Button buttonVoiceCall= (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.button_invite);
if(contactItem.getIsAvailableInDB())
{
buttonVoiceCall.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
buttonVideoCall.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
buttonInvite.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
else
{
buttonVoiceCall.setVisibility(View.GONE);
buttonVideoCall.setVisibility(View.GONE);
buttonInvite.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
return convertView;
}
Hope this will help you~

You could add a flag on the ContactItem class and set it true or false, if it is available in the Database and then set the visibility of the buttons in the adapter according to this flag.

Alternate CheckTextBox becoming visible on click

I am trying to make a specific (selected by user) row of a ListView checkbox to become visible. But the problem is,I have dynamically added 10 rows in my list view using class that extends ArrayAdapter and when I select the 1st row then along with my 1st row , 3rd , 5th and so on check box is becoming visible. Similar with 2nd, 4th and so on row.
I just want that particular row (eg position 0) that I selected to show up the check box and rest shoulb be invisible.

First one RowItem as class varible to store the selected items.
private RowItem mSelectedItem = null;
ex
public class LazyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<RowItem> {
Context context;
private RowItem mSelectedItem = null;
After that add the below listener to your LazyAdapter adapter class.
/**
* On Click Listener for the view.
*/
protected class OnViewClickListener implements
android.view.View.OnClickListener {
private RowItem mItem;
public OnViewClickListener(RowItem item) {
mItem = item;
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mSelectedItem = mItem;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
call this listener from your getView method in LazyAdapter before return view and add logic for the show and hid the view.
ex :
if(mSelectedItem != null && mSelectedItem == rowItem) {
holder.checkbox.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} else {
holder.checkbox.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
convertView.setOnClickListener(new OnViewClickListener(rowItem));
return convertView;
}
And remove click lister in ur activity.
on your activity its working because while rendering the adapter view it will reuse the object, so it was happening like that. Now we are checking and updating every time while view rendering.

Android getView : Why getView not called?

I add two buttons (add and delete) to control the list view, when I delete an item, the item won't immediately disappear in the listview, only when I slide on the listview, the new item disappears. The getView() in my adapter won't be called after I delete an item unless I touch the screen or slide on the listview. can someone tell me why?

Set listview adapter
lv_menu = (ListView) menu_view.findViewById(R.id.lv_menu);
lv_menu.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.menu_item, R.id.txtv_menuItem, menuChoices));

The locationsAdapter does not appear to be getting set to the same adapter used by lv_menu.setAdapter() so that locationsAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() is not invalidating lv_menu. Try lv_menu.invalidate() directly in your onClick() function.
I personally reload my list adapters from scratch whenever deleting items, especially when CheckBox items are involved, in order to keep things from getting out of sync.

Please check that the parameter transfered to the inflater (in the getView method) refer to the same parameter which was used when the adapter was intiated. In the case that they are not the same the getView will not be called without any further notification.

ListView item can not clicked, not any other listeners getting called

I have made one custom ListView but it is not calling any onclick listener or context menu that I have registered.
Here is my custom adapter:
class AdapterContactsActivity extends BaseAdapter {
private Activity activity;
private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> rowdata;
private static LayoutInflater inflater = null;
public ArrayList<String> checkedContacts = new ArrayList<String>();
public AdapterContactsActivity(Activity a,
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> d) {
activity = a;
rowdata = d;
inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
public int getCount() {
return rowdata.size();
}
public Object getItem(int position) {
return position;
}
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (convertView == null)
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_listview_contacts,
null);
final ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.txtTitle = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
holder.chkBox = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);
final HashMap<String, String> row = rowdata.get(position);
// Setting all values in listview
holder.txtTitle.setText(row.get(EmsContactsActivity.KEY_TITLE));
final String contact_id = row.get(EmsContactsActivity.KEY_ID);
convertView.setTag(contact_id);
holder.txtTitle.setTag(contact_id);
if (checkedContacts.contains(contact_id))
holder.chkBox.setChecked(true);
else
holder.chkBox.setChecked(false);
holder.chkBox.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (!holder.chkBox.isChecked()
&& checkedContacts.contains(contact_id))
checkedContacts.remove(contact_id);
else {
checkedContacts.add(contact_id);
}
}
});
return convertView;
}
static class ViewHolder {
public TextView txtTitle;
public CheckBox chkBox;
}
}
Also my row's item view:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/black" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/checkBox1"
android:padding="5dp"
android:textAppearance="#android:style/TextAppearance.Large"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/checkBox1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:padding="5dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
Now I have added all contacts to the adapter but the on click of ListView item I can not even get logcat notification also so on click event I not called.
ListView Code :
Cursor allContacts = getAllContacts();
if (allContacts != null && allContacts.getCount() > 0) {
txtEmptyText.setVisibility(View.GONE);
registerForContextMenu(listViewContacts);
listViewContacts.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
listViewContacts.setFastScrollEnabled(true);
listViewContacts.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
listViewContacts.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
listViewContacts.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
searchList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
searchList = getArrayListWithContacts(allContacts);
txtTotalContacts.setText("Displaying " + allContacts.getCount()
+ " contacts");
// Wrap your adapter within the SimpleSectionAdapter
searchAdapter = new AdapterContactsActivity(this, searchList);
// Set the adapter to your ListView
listViewContacts.setAdapter(searchAdapter);
listViewContacts.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v,
int position, long arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("CLICKED", position + " clicked");
}
});
} else // No Contacts Found
{
String text = "<div>You don't have any contacts to display.<br /><br />"
+ "To add a contacts, <b>Menu</b> and touch:<br /><br />"
+ "• <b style='color:#FFFFFF;'>Accounts</b> to add or configure and account with contacts you can sync to the phone<br /><br />"
+ "• <b>New Contact</b> to create a new contact from scratch<br /><br />"
+ "• <b>Import/Export</b></div>";
txtEmptyText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
listViewContacts.setVisibility(View.GONE);
txtEmptyText.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));
editSearchContacts.setEnabled(false);
}

Set the focusable property on the CheckBox to false:
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/checkBox1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:padding="5dp"
android:focusable="false" />
Also, you may want to inflate the row layout like this:
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_listview_contacts, parent, false);

Your CheckBox has onClickListener so it can grab listview's click events.
Are you using OnItemClickListener on your ListView when you try to handle click events ( listView.setOnItemClickListener(...)) ?

If You are creating any custom row layout for the list item then.
Inside Row.xml
In Parent Linear Layout Or Relative LAyout you should put the one line
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
This is working fine for me.

You have your ListView fit the screen, and in LinearLayout your TextView is displayed under that ListView so it's not visible (it would be, if you'd use a ScrollView).
You need to use as the root element of your layout a RelativeLayout for instance, to have the TextView on top of the ListView.

Seems like the question is still unsolved. So here is how I solved it. I triggered a function which will basically refresh the list layout whenever the data changes as below:
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.requestLayout();
if(aa.arrayValue.size() > 0) {
lv.setVisibility(ListView.VISIBLE);
setListAdapter(new Adaptor(this, R.layout.main_list_item, aa.arrayValue));
}
else {
lv.setVisibility(ListView.INVISIBLE);
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(android.R.id.empty);
tv.requestLayout();
tv.setVisibility(TextView.VISIBLE);
}
Hope this helps you out!

Use #+id in empty and #id in list : android:id="#+id/android:empty"

Your problem is with the ListView height property. Set it to wrap_content.
