How to update list in android - android

i have a list in android. and it has 30 records currently.
but on my activity i am only showing 5 records... after 5 records it shows me a button
"Display All Data"
when i click on that button, then it should display all 30 records and update the activity List. Please tell me how can i update. like we do in AJAX in web technology. i hope u guys understand what i am trying to say?
Refresh the Activity without refreshing the whole activity. Please Reply Friends.
waiting for positive response.

You should just simply add the newly arrived items to your list of data (the already listed 5 items), and call notifyDatasetChanged() on your ListAdapter implementation.
Update
Here I share a sample activity which contains a list and a TextView at the bottom (inflated from stepping_list.xml), where the list initially contains 5 items, and at the bottom a button. When pressing the button, other 25 values get loaded into the list, and the button disappears.
For this we need the main layout, res/layout/stepping_list.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:id="#+id/footer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="60dp"
android:background="#drawable/box"
android:text="Lazy loading list in steps" android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
<ListView android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_above="#id/footer" />
</RelativeLayout>
For the Load more data button to always appear after the last item of the initial list (even if need to scroll to it), I put it into the list's item renderer layout. This way the list will have two item renderers.
The common renderer res/layout/row.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/textView" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="60dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical|right" android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:textSize="35dp"
android:textColor="#2B78E4" />
is a simple TextView, and the renderer for the last item (of the initial list)
res/layout/row_with_button.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="60dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical|right" android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1" android:textColor="#2B78E4"
android:textSize="35dp" />
<Button android:id="#+id/loadbtn"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Load more data"
android:onClick="loadMoreData" />
</LinearLayout>
Finally the Activity class that connects these layouts:
SteppingListActivity.java:
public class SteppingListActivity extends Activity
{
private MyAdapter adapter;
private ArrayList<Integer> values;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.stepping_list);
//initialize the list of data which will populate the list
//TODO: You need to retrieve this data from the server, but I use
// here simple int values.
values = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
values.add((i % 2 == 0) ? i * 3 : i + 3);
}
//initialize the adapter, and attach it to the ListView:
adapter = new MyAdapter();
final ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
/**
* The onClick function of the last itemrenderer's button
* #param button the button clicked.
*/
public void loadMoreData(View button)
{
//Just put some more data into the values ArrayList:
//TODO: You need to retrieve these data from the server, as well!
for (int i = 5; i < 30; i++)
{
values.add((i % 2 == 0) ? i * 3 : i + 3);
}
//notify the ListAdapter about the changes:
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
/**
* The custom ListAdapter class used to populate the ListView
*/
private class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter
{
private LayoutInflater inflater;
public MyAdapter()
{
inflater = LayoutInflater.from(SteppingListActivity.this);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
//check if the current item to show is the last item of the
// initial list, and if so, inflate the proper renderer for it:
if ((position == 4) && (values.size() == 5))
convertView = inflater.inflate(
R.layout.row_with_button, parent, false);
else if ((convertView == null) ||
(convertView.findViewById(R.id.loadbtn) != null))
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row, parent, false);
//set the value of the TextView
((TextView) convertView.findViewById(
R.id.textView)).setText(values.get(position)+ ".50 €");
return convertView;
}
#Override
public int getCount()
{
return values.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position)
{
return values.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position)
{
return position;
}
}
}
I hope you got the idea :)

Android GridView cell sequence changing

I'm getting a very odd (to me) issue when populating a GridView - when it first loads all looks fine, but scrolling ends up with data from cells moving to other positions. In the following example I just have an ArrayList of the numbers 0-800, and an 8 column grid. When loaded 0-7 is in the first row, 8-15 in the second etc, with a different value in the first cell in each row. But after scrolling the first column value will change. Here's the code - it's driving me crazy!
MainActivity.java:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ArrayList<Integer> positions = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for(int i=0;i<800;i++) {
positions.add(i);
}
GridView gvVals = findViewById(R.id.gvVals);
CellAdapter adapter = new CellAdapter(this, new ArrayList<Integer>());
adapter = new CellAdapter(this, positions);
gvVals.setAdapter(adapter);
}
Cell Adapter.java:
public class CellAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Integer> {
private Context context;
public CellAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<Integer> vals) {
super(context, 0, vals);
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v;
if (convertView == null) {
v = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.activity_cell, parent, false);
} else {
v = (View)convertView;
}
TextView tvDay = v.findViewById(R.id.tvVal);
tvDay.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
if(position % 8 == 0) {
tvDay.setText("ST:"+position);
}
else
{
v.findViewById(R.id.btnM).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
((Button)v.findViewById(R.id.btnM)).setText(position + " ");
tvDay.setText(" ");
}
return v;
}
ActivityMain.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight=".34"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:text="M"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"
android:minWidth="0dp"
android:visibility="invisible"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
GridView when app first opened
After scrolling down a few rows and then back up
Change this:
TextView tvDay = v.findViewById(R.id.tvVal);
tvDay.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
if(position % 8 == 0) {
tvDay.setText("ST:"+position);
}
else
{
v.findViewById(R.id.btnM).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
((Button)v.findViewById(R.id.btnM)).setText(position + " ");
tvDay.setText(" ");
}
to this:
boolean firstColumn = position % 8 == 0;
TextView tvDay = v.findViewById(R.id.tvVal);
tvDay.setVisibility(firstColumn ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE);
Button btnM = v.findViewById(R.id.btnM);
btnM.setVisibility(firstColumn ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE);
if(firstColumn) {
tvDay.setText("ST:"+position);
}
else
{
btnM.setText(position + " ");
}
It's important when working with RecyclerView to make sure that you always update every view every time. This is because old view holders get recycled, so if you only do something some of the time, it can get overwritten or it can overwrite the "expected" behavior.
Previously, you were making btnM visible if it wasn't the first column, but you weren't making it not visible if it was the first column.

ListView not updating after elements added to bound ObservableCollection (Xamarin)

I found many similar questions on StackOverflow, but can't seem to figure out this issue.
I'm trying to bind an ObservableCollection to a ListView so that when the contents of the collection change the ListView will automatically update. Unfortunately, when elements are added to the collection (via button click), the ListView isn't being updated. How can I make the ListView reflect the current contents of the collection?
Note: It seems that if I force layout with listView.RequestLayout(); the listView will contain the correct number of items. However, it won't necessarily contain the right items. For example, if I delete the first item and add a new one at the end, forcing a layout has no effect. If I force the layout after deleting the first item, then again after adding one at the end, the contents are correct.
Activity code
public class MainActivity : Activity
{
int count = 1;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
ObservableCollection<UserTask> allTasksCollection = new ObservableCollection<UserTask>();
while(count < 6)
{
allTasksCollection.Add(new UserTask("Task number " + count));
count++;
}
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
// Bind listview to all tasks
ListView listView = FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.allTasksListView);
UserTaskListAdapter adapter = new UserTaskListAdapter(this, allTasksCollection);
listView.Adapter = adapter;
// Button click should add a new task and remove the first task.
Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.myButton);
button.Click += delegate {
allTasksCollection.Add(new UserTask("Task number " + count));
button.Text = string.Format("{0} tasks!", count++);
};
}
}
Adapter
public class UserTaskListAdapter : BaseAdapter<UserTask>
{
Activity context;
ObservableCollection<UserTask> list;
public UserTaskListAdapter(Activity _context, ObservableCollection<UserTask> _list)

if (view == null)
view = context.LayoutInflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.UserTaskRowItem, parent, false);
UserTask item = this[position];
view.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.Title).Text = item.Name;
return view;

Try to call NotifyDataSetChanged() on your adapter after updating its items, AFAIK ListView in Android doesn't observe the changes on your ObservableCollection:
Try this code:
button.Click += delegate {
allTasksCollection.Add(new UserTask("Task number " + count));
button.Text = string.Format("{0} tasks!", count++);
adapter.NotifyDataSetChanged();
};
You can also try to add a litener to your ObservableCollection, in your adapter, change the constructor to this:
this.list.CollectionChanged += (sender,args) => { NotifyDataSetChanged(); };
Take a look at the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. It will warn the listview that variables within an object within the listview have changed.

Edit: misread your question. My bad.

Android - OnItemClickListener only *sometimes* not working

I have a ListView in one of my activities that I have bound to an ArrayList using a custom ArrayAdapter. I have set an OnItemClickListener to the ListView which should call a method that starts another activity. However, I find that when I click on the ListView items, it only sometimes works. Sometimes it will start the activity as it should; other times it seems to detect the click (the ripple effect appears on the list item) but does nothing; other times it doesn't even appear to detect the click (the ripple effect doesn't appear).
I've tried all the usual suggestions that I've come across: blocking descendants on the parent view item, setting clickable and focusable to false on all the components of the item views, setting isEnabled to return true in the custom adapter, etc, but the behavior remains the same. Any help appreciated. Here is the relevant code:
Activity containing the ListView:
public class ViewCollectionActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private final String className = this.getClass().getSimpleName();
private CollectionHandler collectionHandler;
private Context context;
private ArrayList<Game> displayedCollection;
private GameCollectionAdapter collectionAdapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_view_collection);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
context = this;
collectionHandler = CollectionHandler.getInstance(this);
TextView view = null;
if (collectionHandler.getDisplayedCollection().size() > 0) {
view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.no_items_textview);
view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
String currentDate = collectionHandler.getDateLastSynchronised();
view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.last_updated_textview);
view.setText("Last synchronised: " + currentDate + " Total games: " + String.valueOf(collectionHandler.getDisplayedCollection().size()));
collectionAdapter = collectionHandler.getCollectionAdapter();
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.collection_list_view);
listView.setAdapter(collectionAdapter);
AdapterView.OnItemClickListener collectionItemClickListener = new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener(){
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
launchGameDetailsActivity(position);
}
};
listView.setOnItemClickListener(collectionItemClickListener);
}
public void launchGameDetailsActivity(int position){
Log.d(className,"Starting lauchGameDetailsActivity method");
collectionHandler.setSelectedGame(position);
Intent intent = new Intent(this,ViewGameDetailsActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
Log.d(className, "Ending lauchGameDetailsActivity method");
}
The XML for the activity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The code for the custom adapter:
public class GameCollectionAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Game> {
private ArrayList<Game> collection;
public GameCollectionAdapter(Context context, int resource, ArrayList<Game> collection){
super(context, resource, collection);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LinearLayout gameView = (LinearLayout) convertView;
LayoutInflater mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
if (gameView == null) {
gameView = (LinearLayout) mInflater.inflate(R.layout.collection_item_view, null);
}
//Game game = collection.get(position);
Game game = super.getItem(position);
if (game != null) {
// This is how you obtain a reference to the TextViews.
// These TextViews are created in the XML files we defined.
TextView gameTitle = (TextView) gameView.findViewById(R.id.collection_item_name);
TextView numOfPlays = (TextView) gameView.findViewById(R.id.collection_item_plays);
ImageView thumbnail = (ImageView) gameView.findViewById(R.id.collection_item_image);
// check to see if each individual textview is null.
// if not, assign some text!
if (gameTitle != null){
gameTitle.setText(game.getTitle());
}
if (numOfPlays != null){
numOfPlays.setText("Plays: " + String.valueOf(game.getNumOfPlays()));
}
if (thumbnail != null){
thumbnail.setImageBitmap(game.getThumbnail());
}
}
// the view must be returned to our activity
return gameView;
}
#Override
public boolean isEnabled(int position) {
return true;
}
}
I discovered what was causing the problem: the way I had set up the array that backed the ListView meant that it was downloading and storing the Bitmaps for every element in the array all the time. Once I changed the implementation so that it only downloaded the images as the ListView required them, then that seemed to improve performance and the onClickListener started to work fine.
The implementation I used was the exact same one shown here:
http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/process-bitmap.html
I think the issue is due to the position of the item selection whenever you click you have an list position which is passed to your method launchGameDetailActivity(int position) check with log or toast on item click what all the position you are getting do the needful.
Here is my code try this like this if it helps.
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Toast.makeText(RecipeClass.this, "Position is" + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(RecipeClass.this, RecipeIngredients.class)
intent.putExtra("position", position);
startActivity(intent);
}
Check your arraylist value also whether they are not null.

Android: button showing up multiple times in list view

I trying to write code to highlight the selected value of the list with "Next" button at the bottom of the layout. But for some reason, after every list item, "next" button also shows up. Can someone please help me resolve this problem?

</LinearLayout>
Java Code:
public class updateList extends Activity {
private SelectedAdapter selectedAdapter;
private ArrayList<String> list;
int correct_answer;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("Choice One");
list.add("Choice Two");
list.add("Choice Three");
selectedAdapter = new SelectedAdapter(this,0,list);
selectedAdapter.setNotifyOnChange(true);
ListView listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listExample);
listview.setAdapter(selectedAdapter);
listview.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View view,
int position, long id) {
// user clicked a list item, make it "selected"
selectedAdapter.setSelectedPosition(position);
}
});
}
}
Thanks in advance

Selected Adaptor class:
public class SelectedAdapter extends ArrayAdapter{
// used to keep selected position in ListView
private int selectedPos = -1; // init value for not-selected
public SelectedAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,
List objects) {
super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
}
public void setSelectedPosition(int pos){
selectedPos = pos;
// inform the view of this change
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public int getSelectedPosition(){
return selectedPos;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = convertView;
// only inflate the view if it's null
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)this.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = vi.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null);
}
// get text view
TextView label = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.txtExample);
// change the row color based on selected state
if(selectedPos == position){
label.setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN);
}else{
label.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
}
label.setText(this.getItem(position).toString());
/*
// to use something other than .toString()
MyClass myobj = (MyClass)this.getItem(position);
label.setText(myobj.myReturnsString());
*/
return(v);
}
}
change your listview in xml as like this
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listExample"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"//===== set maximum heighthere
android:layout_marginBottom="50dp"// === give some space at bottom so that buttons will appear
android:background="#CCCCCC"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
/>
But for some reason, after every list item, "next" button also shows up.
The ListView's row layout is determined by the layout you inflate in getView() or pass to your Adapter's super class if you haven't overridden getView(). Double check this layout and remove the unwanted code.

The layout for your ListView's items only needs to be one TextView since you only want to display a phrase in each. However you are currently passing your entire main layout, this creates the Buttons, an unused ListView, and everthing else in every row...
Instead use android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 in getView(), of course you'll need to change the id you pass to findViewById() as well:
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)this.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = vi.inflate(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, null);
}
// get text view
TextView label = (TextView)v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);

Android ListView Adapter how to detect an empty list?

I have a ListView in my Activity which takes values from an extension class of SimpleAdapter.
This one is correctly working when I add or delete some data in it.
But my problem is, when my item list is empty, I would like to replace the listView by a message like "No item inhere" or something like that.
I tried to do it, this way:
class FavAdapter extends SimpleAdapter{
Activity context;
ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> data;
String[] items;
int[] champs;
int layout;
FavAdapter(Activity _context, ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> _data, int _layout, String[] _items, int[] _champs){
super(_context, _data, _layout, _items, _champs );
this.data = _data;
this.context = _context;
this.items = _items;
this.layout = _layout;
this.champs = _champs;
}
public View getView(int pos, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
//Recycling
View row = convertView;
//Else get from XML
if(row == null){
LayoutInflater infla = context.getLayoutInflater();
row = infla.inflate(layout, null);
}
//If there are data
if(data.size() > 0){
/**** Here I am correctly constructing row *****/
...
}
//Else
else{
TextView txt = new TextView(ActivityFavoris.this);
txt.setText("Not data inhere");
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) row.findViewById(R.id.result_lyt_principal);
ll.addView(txt);
}
return row;
}
Problem is: my list has never a size of 0. in fact when the data is empty the adapter is not called.
Can someone explain me how I can do it by another way?
Thanks in advance.
Edit : Using your answers I succeed on that. My solution is : setContentView has to be used with findViewById(android.R.id.empty), but if like me you have two different listView in your activity, which need different empty views, you will have to find it inside different layout. This way android will automatically call the right view when the listview is empty, and nothing have to be done in the adapter when data.size is 0.
example: in Activity :
public void onCreate(Bundle b){
super.onCreate(b);
lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listviewone);
lv2 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listviewtwo);
//****set listview adater***//
...
//set empty view
lv1.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.layoutone).findViewById(android.R.id.empty));
lv2.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.layouttwo).findViewById(android.R.id.empty));
}
with that xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layoutone"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listviewone"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/empty"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Pas de favoris enregistrées" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layouttwo"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listviewtwo"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/empty"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Pas de favoris enregistrées" />
</LinearLayout>
Use the method setEmptyView which sets the view to show if the adapter is empty.
The above answer sounds fine, but for the record the reason your method doesn't appear to be called is probably because your implementation of getCount() returns something like data.size() - meaning 0. This means the ListView will never call getView at all.
Instead you could do something like this:
public int getCount() {
if (data.size()==0) {
return 1;
}
return data.size();
}
I hope that's helpful.
You are calling this adapter in some activity. there the adapter is set to any listview. Before setting the adapter to the list view you can check what is the size of arraylist. if the size is zero then you can add "No item inhere" message to the arraylist by make a hashmap
Create a listview with the 'no items found' entry by default. When the first item is added, reinit the list and remove the default entry.
