I have a doubt. I have 3 array list dynamic values. I need to display these dynamic values in a listview. can someone please tell me how can i achieve this.
I have name[] array, status[] array and image[] array. I need to dynamically display the values in listview in a android sample
This is what i have:
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,NameList);
In this i am able to display i am able to display all the names in NameList[].
An array list only accepts an array of values, so as you see, you can only pass in the names. You have two options,
The simple option is to create a compound object, say Person, that has a name, status, and image. Then you create a Person[], and create the array list on that, and pass it into the array adapter. You must implement Person.toString() to print out the Person object as you'd like.
If you need to be able to lay out the Person fields in a more flexible way then you could simply by implementing toString() on Person, you need to create a custom list adapter. You can take a look at this post to get you started,
Categorise the listview

I have a raw json file like this
{"_id":707860,"name":"Hurzuf","country":"UA","coord":{"lon":34.283333,"lat":44.549999}}

It is NOT an JSON array - it is a huge list of JSON objects. Here Populate the spinner from JSON In Android, here Convert json array to list of json(raw) strings here android how to convert json array to string array or even here https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/spinner.html it is assumed that I have a JSON array or static data. I'd like to have two spinners in which one is for country and second one is for city. Let's assume I have list of countries so it will be a static data. I'd like the second spinner to dynamically load from raw json file all cities that corresponds to selected city in first spinner. I think that I can handle spinners thing but how can I load data from raw json file into spinner? Do I need to modify this raw file so that it will be a json array and then do something like this:
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(arraytitle);
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String());
for(int i = 0 ; i < jsonArray.length();i++){
list.add(jsonArray.getJSONObject(i));
}
EDIT
I found this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/26780581/4671908 - if I will succeed I will post an answer
So you have two questions:
How to update the second Spinner dynamically when the first Spinner is updated
Three thing you need to do:
Implement AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener
Update the backed data set inside the adapter of the second Spinner. In your case it would be a list of city. (To do this you need to create your own adapter extended from ArrayAdapter)
Call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
How to use the JSON
There are several solutions there. But it would be hard for others to provide the one that would suit your case the best without knowing any detail of the requirement.
Just remember one thing when you face design problem:
Do the simplest thing first.
i am a novice in android and i was trying to make an application that has two fragments, one with a listView with topics which when one is clicked it opens a topic description in the other fragment. i would like to know how to also store the large string for the description
If the data is dynamic you can store your topics and desciptions in a sqlite database. You have several possibilities:
You load the topic and description at the start and give over the description with a method or an interface to the second fragment.
You store the data in a database and give every entry a unique id and use a method or an interface to communicate with the second fragment and put the id to it. And then you use the id to get the description from database.
UPDATE #1
You can use arrays in your resource files. Create two arrays. One with your topics and the other with your descriptions. But the topics and descriptions have to be in the same order. For example the description of the second topic have to be on the second position in its array. Now you use the first array for your listview and the second(with the descriptions) in the description fragment. The "setOnItemClickListener" method of the listview have the position as a parameter. This is the same as the position of the topics and desciption in your arrays (when you dont resort anything).
I am a new to android developing. I am developing an android app for a shopping mall...
i want to have a screen where a list is displayed. Name of the mall and its photo should be displayed in the first section with its short one line address...
In the next sections the products should be displayed in the same way....
Product photo, Product Name and its price...
Please suggest me what topics should i read to create such a screen....
could fragments be used to create this screen???
Thanks in advance...
There are many ways. Like you can create a Customized List view for each screen. You can first create an Array List of objects of MallClassPojo. Like:
ArrayList<MallClassPojo> mallList.
Where your MallClassPojo contains the getter setter methods for Mall name,Mall image url or resourceID and short description of mall. Pass this mallList to your adapter class. Retrieve the details and show them in your customised List View. The next screen can be prepared in the same way also.
Well then you can create an Array List of JSON objects. In a JSON Object you can add different data like in one object you can add the company data and in another you can add product data. Isn't it?
I have a small issue with ArrayList. I have to fetch the document from the server.
The document contains 7 fields of data. I have to show the document names in the list view.
For this I have added different fields data to the different ArrayList. So when I click on the document name, based on the position of the document, I fetched the all fields data from the different Arraylist based on the position.
But Have a small issue using by using the above procedure. Is there any procedure that is not depend on the position, what I want is irrespective of position if I click on the Document,based on the keyword document data to be extract.
Any Help Appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
I got your point. If you try to manage different ArrayLists then it would be difficult to manage it. I mean if you delete item from particular position from particular ArrayList then you will have to delete items from same position from other ArrayList, if you forgot to do so then it will be unbalanced.
Solution:
Instead feasible solution is to create ArrayList<Object> or ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>, so your every item is the type of particular object, and every object contains detail and everything of particular items.
For example: ArrayList<Documents>, here ArrayList will contains list of Documents objects, and every objects contains values of 7 fields.
Its simply easy to define Documents class with getter/setter attributes.
I have created a list activity calles as Category List to show a list of category dynamically from web by parsing an XML file. The XML file contains values "ID"(id of the particular category) and "title"(category name). So what I've done is, I've parsed the XML file and collected the ID and title to an ArrayList called categries using SAX parser.
In the list activity, I have a created a new string array and added the title of each category to it. The thing I want to do is to assign the category id to each category shown in the list view and to use the id to get the appropriate view for that category. Is there any way to assign an id to the each of the list items.

Introduce a JavaBean, and fill it:
class YourBean {
private int id;
private String title;
// add get / set methods
}
Create the list and put it in a ArrayList ,then fill a Adapter with it.
Then, you can use an http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ArrayAdapter.html and in your onClicked etc method use mAdapter.getItem(int). That's in very short words.
Take a look in the SDK examples.
