I want to add a row of 3 editTexts whenever the user removes focus from the last editText of the above row. I have tried various methods like inflating an individual linearLayout every time the user removes focus from the last editText. The problem in this method is I get a large number of linearLayouts to deal with which is not so efficient. Somebody suggested me to us custom list view but I don't know anything about it. Please help
Thanx in advance
You should create a custom list view. Look here.
In listview_item_row.xml, instead of using ImageView and TextView, you have to create a LinearLayout with 3 EditText. And finally, you have to create your own adapter like WeatherAdapter.java and inflate your 3 EditText.

I need help regarding adding new set of views and get value from those views.
In my example, I want to add 4 TextViews on Button click and open TimePicker from each view click and display new selected time on respective TextView.
Below is screenshot of view.
If these 4 views are fixed you could just create the xml and add them all to a single holder that you set invisible. If you mean by dynamic that it could be either 4 or 99 views, I'd recommend a RecyclerView. Plenty of examples on the internet. If you create a recyclerview with a custom adapter it is very easy to get the respective data per view.
For the future, please add more context to your question like what you've tried, what the result was and why this isn't your expected result. This is a very broad question.
Assuming that on clicking the clock button under the time section (on the right) you would want to set the selected time into the text field. You can simply call view.getParent() on click of the button and from the parent you can get the first child i.e child at 0 and set the text into the text field. This will work provided the button and textfield are within the same layout.
I have a ImageView with a TextView and Button. I have it currently in a custom list view, but I noticed now that I don't need to show more as one element (object). So I actually don't need a Listview to show the row (list entry). How can I show the list entry without a Listview?
You can put the elements of your custom listview item into a Layout, e.g. LinearLayout and simply add it to your activity's layout where you needed it.
You can set an OnClickListener for that layout, so user can click the whole thing.
I think you should use ListActivity. Then you can set up empty view for list. Here some tutorial: ListActivity and ListView Tips.
Also you can implement that logic with Recycler view by yourself or use library.
Here is solution from stackoverflow
I have a Listview in my Android app, and I want there to be some horizontal lines when the list is empty to indicate to the user that this is a List. I know that there is the setEmptyView method on ListView, but I'm not sure what to put in that view if I want there to be list rows with horizontal lines. How would I accomplish this?
Having a bunch of horizontal lines for an empty list is an iOS convention. If you want your app to fit in with Android better you should set something else. Perhaps notify the user there was an error or that there are no items in the list. You can add this right to your layout.xml file if you're using a ListActivity. All you need to do is create a view and give it the id #android:id/empty.
put the listView in a FrameLayout and add another view in that Frame.
if you having any item in the list hide its (visiblity="gone") and show the other view.
OR
change your adapter to return multi ViewType
in your adapter if you have no item return other type of view
I am working on a UI where I have a list view. Each row has 2 information. One is Product name and the other is product ID stacked one over other. So each row has 2 lines of data.
What i want to do with this:
Once a user clicks on each row, it will further expand and show one input and one spinner. So it is basically for putting in Quantity and unit of measure.
Please let me know if this is achievable and if I can refer to some example.
What I need is more like
Taskos To Do List | Task List
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taskos&hl=en
All i need is that the category will not be expandable. Only the items will be expandable. All i need is an example of such app and then I can take it forward.
I think it could be done... you would need to put the extra widgets in your row layout, populate them and hide them upon list creation, then in your onListItemCLick you could unhide them.
Note I have no idea if this would work, but it seems reasonable that it might and it's what I would try and do to achieve the goal.
listView cannot be expanded. however you can use an expandablelistView
But the kind of functionality you want cannot be done this way(I guess.).
You can use
registerForContextMenu("your list View");
to register your list view
onCreateContextMenu
for the kind of action you want to be performed in your case its dialog with EditText and Spinner to have input from user
I have created one list view.. it is having 5 items...
Now I want split the list items...
when user clickon the first listitem or focus on first item then immediately it has to show followed some text views or other things..but it has to show same list..
and agian same when he clickon or focus on the second item that first item has to be close and second item has to act some thing....
I think you need to implement the concept of "Expandable Listview", so that the clicking on one item, it will be expanded with their sub-items.
Refer the android-sdk page of Expandable ListView: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ExpandableListView.html
For having an example, check this site: http://mylifewithandroid.blogspot.com/2008/05/expandable-lists.html
Pls, check the below image, do you want to perform as same ????
If you want to do the same, it is already given in the "API-Demos" at Views/Expandable Lists/1. Custom Adapter.
Enjoy !!
The problem is that you cannot use the standard ListView in your case, because in the standard ListView, the View of each row has to be one TextView.
In your case, you need it to be at least two TextViews (The standard Text, and the one that's gonna show up onClick/onFocus).
You have to create your custom ListAdapter, and override the getView() function.
Here is a code snippet that shows how to do it properly:
Custom Adapter
In the getView(), you have to inflate the XML file that describes your List Row, and return it.
In your case, I believe your XML file should contain 2 TextViews, one visible and one invisible.
Then, to handle the clicks, you can set a onItemClickListener on your ListView in your Activity class.
The best way may be to have your Activity class implementing onItemClickListener, and to use this onItemClickListener to handle those.
In the onClick() function, you just have to set the Visibility of your hidden TextView to VISIBLE.
You need to build custom rows, and handle showing more text on each row, there is no easy magicall way of doing it, but inflating your own rows, and setting a couple of attributes visibility isnt all that hard either.
