Custom ListView adapter, strange ImageView behavior - android

I have a custom ListView Adapter, with which I'm creating rows for a list. My problem is though, that it doesn't seem to be distinguishing the ImageViews, from each other. It seems to be randomly picking ImageViews to chuck into place as I scroll up and down. The text information (omitted from this snippet) does not break. It works as one would expect.
Here is the relevant method of my Adapter:
public View getView( int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent )
{
View v = convertView;
if( v == null )
{
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = vi.inflate( R.layout.generic_row, null );
}
// find the image
ImageView favImage = (ImageView)v.findViewById( R.id.toggle_favorite );
// when clicked...
favImage.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick( View v )
{
// make the gray star a yellow one
int newImage = R.drawable.ic_star_yellow_embossed;
((ImageView)v).setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getContext().getResources(), newImage));
}
});
return v;
}

That behavior appears because the ListView recycles the row views as you scroll the list up and down, and because of this you get rows that were acted on by the user(the image was changed) in position were the image should be unmodified. To avoid this you'll have to somehow hold the status of the ImageView for every row in the list and use this status to set up the correct image in the getView() method. Because you didn't say how exactly did you implement your adapter I will show you a simple example.
First of all you should store your the statuses of the ImageView. I used an ArrayList<Boolean> as a member of the custom adapter, if the position(corresponding to the row's position in the list) in this list is false then the image is the default one, otherwise if it is true then the user clicked it and we should put the new image:
private ArrayList<Boolean> imageStatus = new ArrayList<Boolean>();
In your custom adapter constructor initialize this list. For example if you put in your adapter a list of something then you should make your imageStatus as big as that list and filled with false(the default/start status):
//... initialize the imageStatus, objects is the list on which your adapter is based
for (int i = 0; i < objects.size(); i++) {
imageStatus.add(false);
}
Then in your getView() method:
View v = convertView;
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getContext()
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = vi.inflate(R.layout.adapters_adapter_with_images, null);
}
// find the image
ImageView favImage = (ImageView) v
.findViewById(R.id.toggle_favorite);
// Set the image bitmap. If the imageStatus flag for this position is TRUE then we
// show the new image because it was previously clicked by the user
if (imageStatus.get(position)) {
int newImage = R.drawable.ic_star_yellow_embossed;
favImage.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(
getContext().getResources(), newImage));
} else {
// If the imageStatus is FALSE then we explicitly set the image
// back to the default because we could be dealing with a
// recycled ImageView that has the new image set(there is no need to set a default drawable in the xml layout)
int newImage = R.drawable.basket_empty; //the default image
favImage.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(
getContext().getResources(), newImage));
}
// when clicked... we get the real position of the row and set to TRUE
// that position in the imageStatus flags list. We also call notifyDataSetChanged
//on the adapter object to let it know that something has changed and to update!
favImage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Integer realPosition = (Integer) v.getTag(); //get the position from the view's tag
imageStatus.set(realPosition, true); //this position has been clicked be the user
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); //notify the adapter
}
});
// set the position to the favImage as a tag, we later retrieve it
// in the onClick method
favImage.setTag(new Integer(position));
return v;
}
This should work well if you don't plan to dynamically modify the list(remove/add rows), otherwise you'll have to take care of also modifying that list of imageStatus to reflect the changes. You didn't say what was your row data, another approach(and the right one if you plan to do something if the user clicks that image(besides changing it)) is to incorporate the status of the image in the row's data model. Regarding this here are some tutorials:
Android ListView Advanced Interactive
or Commonsware-Android Excerpt (Interactive rows)

you need to define the default image right after finding its reference:
// find the image
ImageView favImage = (ImageView)v.findViewById( R.id.toggle_favorite );
//setting to default
favImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.default_image);
// when clicked...
favImage.setOnClickListener....
you need to do this because once the image is changed, and you scroll the ListView , it reappears because ListView recycles the item views. So you need to define it in getView to use a default image when the list is scrolled

Set visibility for an image within a ListView row

Overview:
I have a ListView with a custom adapter/layout, every time a user adds a new row (which contains a number), I check if that number is the smallest in the list. If so, an image within that row must be set as visible while setting all other row's images as invisible.
Problem:
My ListView does not set any row's image as visible, even though I have the index of the smallest element.
How I'm doing it:
//In MainActivity
private void addProduct(float price) { //User adds product
priceList.add(price); //Add to Float list
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
updateView(findMinIndex(priceList)); //Find smallest val indx
}
private void updateView(int index){
View v = listView.getChildAt(index -
listView.getFirstVisiblePosition());
if(v == null)
return;
ImageView checkMark = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.check_mark);
checkMark.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); //Initially set Invisible
}
Edit, CustomAdapter:
public CustomList(Activity context,
ArrayList<Float> priceList) {
super(context, R.layout.list_single, priceList);
this.context = context;
priceList = priceList;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_single, null, true);
TextView price = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.new_price);
ImageView cheapest = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.check_mark);
price.setText(priceList.get(position) + "");
return rowView;
}
Thank you
It is your priceList binded with the adapter?
First of all i would put a breakpoint to see if you are getting the right view in the updateView method.
try this way;
Create a Pojo class with imageview and it's state(Visibility) initially set all to invisible
Add your items to the ArrayList of Pojo Class type.
when user enters a new row based on your requirement set visibility state to true or false(visible or invisible) and call notifyDataSetChanged() to the adapter.
Doing this way you can have a easy track of the items.
I got it working :).
Problem is that adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); is async, so while it's doing that, updateView(findMinIndex(priceList)); runs but doesn't find the new row as it should. Therefore, I add a runnable to the ListView object as so:
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
listView.post( new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
updateView(findMinIdx(priceList));
}
});
Now it works perfectly!

Update adapter items with add dynamic drawable on getview() lead to show wrong data

I have a custom adapter that list my items. in each Item I check database and draw some circles with colors.
As you see in code I check if convertView==null defines new viewHolder and draw my items. but when I scroll listview very fast every drawn data ( not title and texts) show wrongs!
How I can manage dynamic View creation without showing wrong data?!
UPDATE
This is my attempts:
I used ui-thread to update my list but the result is same and data drawing go wrong.
in second I try to load all data with my object so that there is no need to check db in adapter. but it problem is still remains...
finally I create the HashMap<key,LinearLayout> and cache every drawn layout with id of its item. So if it's drawn before I just load its view from my HashMap and every dynamic layout will create just once. But it still shows wrong data on fast scrolling! Really I don't know what to do next!
#Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
final ViewHolder viewHolder;
final MenuStructureCase item = getItem(position);
if (convertView == null) {
viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
convertView = this.mInflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_menu_item, null);
viewHolder.menu_title = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.menu_title);
viewHolder.tag_list_in_menu_linear_layout = (LinearLayout) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tag_list_in_menu_linear_layout);
viewHolder.menu_delete = (ImageButton) convertView.findViewById(R.id.image_button_delete);
importMenuTags(viewHolder, getItem(position), viewHolder.tag_list_in_menu_linear_layout);
convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
} else {
viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
viewHolder.menu_title.setText(item.getTitle());
}
return convertView;
}
and this is importMenuTags():
private void importMenuTags(ViewHolder viewHolder, MenuStructureCase item, LinearLayout layout) {
List<String> tags = db.getMenuTags(item.getTitle()); //this present list of string that contain my tags
for (String tag : tags) {
Drawable drawable = getContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.color_shape);
drawable.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor(each_tag_color), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(getContext());
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lparams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lparams.setMargins(15, 15, 15, 15);
lparams.width = 50;
lparams.height = 50;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
rl.setBackground(drawable);
} else {
rl.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
}
rl.setLayoutParams(lparams);
layout.addView(rl);
}
}
You have to select data from db before adapter initialization. So that
getItem(position)
will return already a "ready" item-object.
You shouldn't set the values to Views inside
if (convertView == null) {
...
}
This code is only for a viewHolder initialization. You create a new one, if convertView is null or read it as tag.
Setting of values you have to do after viewHolder initialization, actually where you set the title.
But in order to increase a performance, you shouldn't select the values from db on each step of getView. You have to have everything prepared (already selected).
You can do this way:
First of all create method inside adapter class:
public void updateNewData(List<MenuStructureCase> newList){
this.currentList = newList;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
Now call above method whenever you want to update ListView.
How to call with object of CustomAdapter:
mAdapter.updateNewData(YourNewListHere);
Hope this will help you.
Rendering of data takes times and may be that's causing the issue when you are scrolling fast.
You can restirct the scrolling ( like Gmail : use a pull to refresh ) so that a less amount to data is processed in a list view at single time .
use RecyclerView instead of listview for better performance
ListView recreates the view on scrolling .
May be you can explain more about your problem , then we can provide the inputs accordingly.

ListView Odd/Even Rows Refresh Automatically When Scrolling Down Or Selecting AnotherItem

I use even and odd rows to set backgrond to my listview rows. In my efficientAdapter I set the row background as follows:
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
vi = convertView;
if (convertView == null) {
vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.ecran_multiple_row, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.txIndex = (TextView) vi.findViewById(R.id.txIndex);
holder.txSTitle = (TextView) vi.findViewById(R.id.txSTitle);
holder.btOnOFF = (ImageView) vi.findViewById(R.id.btOnOFF);
vi.setTag(holder);
} else
holder = (ViewHolder) vi.getTag();
/*
* CHANGE ROW COLOR 0 WHITE 1 GRAY
*/
if ( position % 2 == 0) //0 even 1 odd..
vi.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.listview_selector_odd);
else
vi.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.listview_selector_even);
/*
* ONE ITEM IN ARRAY
*/
if (data.toArray().length==1){
holder.btOnOFF.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.air_radio_button_rouge);
}else {
holder.btOnOFF.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.air_deezer_check);
}
return vi;
}
and in my MainActivity.Class. I select an item using on itemclicklistener() as shown below:
**lvRMultiple.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
imgview = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.btOnOFF);
//And change its background here
imgview.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.air_radio_button_rouge);
}
});**
When i clicked on an item btnOff image change successfully but when i scroll down it change to default background. Secondly when i click on one item after the other both becomes the new image but i want only the row clicked by the user to change to new image and the previous image are set to default.
All row view of a ListView created by the getView() method of BaseAdpter class. When ever we scroll the ListView all, new viable row create by getView() using recycle. So getView() called again and again when new row is viable on scroll.
There are two solution of your question:-\
You can save the status of ListView
// Save ListView state
Parcelable state = listView.onSaveInstanceState();
// Set new items
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
// Restore previous state (including selected item index and scroll position)
listView.onRestoreInstanceState(state)
And other solution is create RowView at runtime and add it on a Parent Layout by using addView() method.
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
// You should use the LinerLayout instead of the listview, and parent Layout should be inside of the ScrollView
parentView = (LinerLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.parentView);
for(int i = 0; i<=numberOfRow;i++){
LinearLayout rowView = (LinerLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.rowView);
ImageView rowImageView = (ImageView)rowView.findViewById(R.id.rowImage);
rowImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.onClickListListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(){
rowImageView.setImageBitmap(onClickBitmapImage);
}
});
parentView.addView(rowView);
}

The item changes back to the default background because the view gets recycled. This is the same problems of checkboxes losing their checked state
Check out this answer too see how to handle it:
CheckBox gets unchecked on scroll in a custom listview
As for your second problem, I believe it's already answered here:

Android:Listview item background issue on list scrolling

I facing below issue with item back ground on scrolling.
In my application I have a listview which require multi-selection. Also this is a custom list where selection needs to be represented by change in list item color instead of check-box based approach.
For this: In the OnClick I'm checking if the position is selected or not and then set the background for the item. However this has issue when I scroll the list. Taking an example:
suppose the list has 50 items. And 10 are visible at a time. I select say 5th item [thus changing the background]. And then I scroll the list. After scroll the visible part of the list corresponding to earlier 5th item ,say 15th item in item of the list but 5th index in visible portion,still has background corresponding to selected state. Whereas it should not have been set since I have not selected 15th item yet.
I tried:
a-In the getView method of adapter, if the item is not one of selected items I'm setting one background else different.Tried - setBackgroundColor as well setBackgrounddrawable.
b- In the xml have set the cacheColorHint to transparent
c- Have selector attached to items and the items responding to state [pressed,selected] in onlcick.
However still I'm not able to get rid of unwanted background color for item on scrolling.
Any help. I tried various suggestion mentioned in various post in SO but not succcessful yet.
I tried
thanks

this is a normal behavior of ListView adapter in android, its getView() called on every scroll and for every new list item it call getView, if listview item currently not visible on UI then its convertView is equals to null: At a time listview take load of only visible list items, if it showing at a time 10 element out of 50, then listView.getChildCount() will return only 10 not 50.
In your case when you select 5, it reflected selection for 5+10(visible items count) = 15, 25, 35, 45 too.
To solve this problem you should have a flag associate with your each listItem data, for example if you have string array itemData[50] as array, then take an array of boolean isSelected[50] with initial value false for each.
Take a look for getView(), in adapter class:
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
final ViewHolder holder;
string text = itemData[position]
if (convertView == null) {
rowLayout = (RelativeLayout) LayoutInflater.from(context)
.inflate(R.layout.list_view_item, parent, false);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.txtString= (TextView) rowLayout
.findViewById(R.id.txtTitle);
rowLayout.setTag(holder);
} else {
rowLayout = (RelativeLayout) convertView;
holder = (ViewHolder) rowLayout.getTag();
}
if(isSelected[position] == true){
holder.txtString.setText("Selected")
rowLayout.setBackGround(selected)
}else{
holder.txtString.setText("Not Selected")
rowLayout.setBackGround(notSelected)
}
public class ViewHolder {
public TextView txtString;
}
and in your Activity class on listView.setOnItemClickListener():
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
int position, long arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
isSelected[position] = true // on selection
RelativeLayout rowLayout = (RelativeLayout) view;
rowLayout.setBackGround(Selected);
// also set here background selected for view by getting layout refference
}
});

Android ListView itemClick Issue

Can someone explain this issue to me ?
I have a listview that holds more rows than the screen can show, so scrolling.
If I click on one item, I replace an icon that is part of each row. That all works.
The issue I have is that when I click on lets say the first item, I change the icon for that first row. When I now scroll down I see that the first row outside the visible viewport also changed the icon.
Why is that happening and how can I avoid this issue ?
Thanks in advance,
Mozzak
Just to make sure, you are using a class that implements ListAdapter or extends some other sort of adapter right?
When using an adapter, you will have to keep in mind that the views in the ListView are recycled to save memory. Because of this, you will need to store the state in a separate variable.
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (convertView == null)
{
LayoutInflater inflator = (LayoutInflater)parent.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = inflator.inflate(R.layout.listitem, null);
}
// Retreive my image that may or may not change
ImageView myIcon = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.iconView);
// Checking my stored boolean for this position to see if I need to use icon2 or icon
if (myItem[position].needsIconChanged)
{
// I have set my boolean, so use icon2
myIcon.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon2);
}
else
{
// I have not set my boolean, or set it to false so set it to icon
myIcon.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon);
}
return convertView;
}
You will also have to remember to set that boolean in your onItemCLick
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> myAdapter, View myView, int position, long arg3) {
// Retreive your item and set a boolean or icon state (depending on what you do)
myAdapter.getItemAtPosition(position).needsIconChanged = true;
}
