Hide footer view in ListView?

I have a ListView. The data behind it is fetched from the Internet, in sets of 10-30 items whenever the user scrolls all the way to the bottom. In order to indicate that it is loading more items, I used addFooterView() to add a simple view that displays a "Loading..." message and a spinner. Now, when I'm out of data (no more data to fetch), I want to hide that message. I tried to do:

loadingView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Unfortunately, while that does hide the view, it leaves space for it. I.e. I end up with a big blank space where the "Loading" message used to be. How can I go about properly hiding this view?

I can't use removeFooterView() because I may need to show it again, in which case I can't call addFooterView() again because an adapter has already been set on the ListView, and you can't call addHeaderView() / addFooterView() after setting an adapter.

ListView item background via custom selector

Is it possible to apply a custom background to each Listview item via the list selector?

The default selector specifies @android:color/transparent for the state_focused="false" case, but changing this to some custom drawable doesn't affect items that aren't selected. Romain Guy seems to suggest in this answer that this is possible.

I'm currently achieving the same affect by using a custom background on each view and hiding it when the item is selected/focused/whatever so the selector is shown, but it'd be more elegant to have this all defined in one place.

For reference, this is the selector I'm using to try and get this working:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:state_focused="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/list_item_gradient" />

    <!-- Even though these two point to the same resource, have two states so the drawable will invalidate itself when coming out of pressed state. -->
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false"
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />

    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_transition" />
    <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_transition" />

    <item android:state_focused="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_focus" />

</selector>

And this is how I'm setting the selector:

<ListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector_background" />    

Thanks in advance for any help!

Android Layout with ListView and Buttons

Alright, this specific layout is just annoying me. And can't seem to find a way to have a listView, with a row of buttons at the bottom so that the listview doesn't extend over top of the buttons, and so the buttons are always snapped to the bottom of the screen. Here's what I want:

removed dead ImageShack link

It seems like it should be so easy, but everything I've tried has failed. Any help?

Here's my current code:

    RelativeLayout container = new RelativeLayout(this);
    container.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

    //** Add LinearLayout with button(s)

    LinearLayout buttons = new LinearLayout(this);

    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams bottomNavParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    bottomNavParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
    bottomNavParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
    buttons.setLayoutParams(bottomNavParams);


    ImageButton newLayer = new ImageButton(this);
    newLayer.setImageResource(R.drawable.newlayer);
    newLayer.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(45, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
    buttons.addView(newLayer);

    container.addView(buttons);

    //** Add ListView

    layerview = new ListView(this);

    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams listParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
    listParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ABOVE, buttons.getId());

    layerview.setLayoutParams(listParams);

    container.addView(layerview);

Showing empty view when ListView is empty

For some reason the empty view, a TextView in this case, always appears even when the ListView is not empty. I thought the ListView would automatically detect when to show the empty view.

<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayoutAR"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent">
    <ListView android:id="@+id/ARListView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"></ListView>
    <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/arProgressBar"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"></ProgressBar>
    <!-- Here is the view to show if the list is emtpy -->
    <TextView android:id="@id/android:empty"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="No Results" />
</RelativeLayout>

How can I hook up the empty view properly?

How can I make a horizontal ListView in Android? [duplicate]

Possible Duplicate:
Horizontal ListView in Android?

Like many things in Android, you wouldn't think this would be such a hard problem but ohhh, by golly, would you be wrong. And, like many things in Android, the API doesn't even provide a reasonably extensible starting point. I'll be damned if I'm going to roll my own ListView, when all I want is to take the thing and turn it on its side. \rant

Okay, now that I'm done fuming, let's talk about the problem itself. What I need is basically something exactly like the Gallery, but without the center-locking feature. I don't really need ListView's listSelector but it's a nice-to-have. Mostly, I could do what I want with a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView, but I need the child views to come from a ListAdapter and I would really like to have a view recycler. And I really don't want to write any layout code.

I peeked into the source code for some of these classes...

Gallery: It looks like I could use the Gallery if I override most of the 'onXyz' methods, copy all their source code, but refrain from calling scrollIntoSlots(). But I'm sure that if I do that I'll run into some member field that's inaccessible or some other unforeseen consequence.

AbsSpinner: Since the mRecycler field is package-private I doubt I'll be able to extend this class.

AbsListView: It looks like this class is only meant for vertical scrolling, so no help there.

AdapterView: I've never had to extend this class directly. If you tell me it's easy to do, and that it's easy to roll my own RecycleBin, I'll be very skeptical but I'll give it a shot.

I suppose I could possibly copy both AbsSpinner and Gallery to get what I want... hopefully those classes aren't using some package-private variable I can't access. Do y'all think that's a good practice? Does anyone have any tutorials or third-party solutions that might put me in the right direction?

Update:
The only solution I've found so far is to do it all myself. Since asking this question, I have overridden AdapterView and implemented my own "HorizontalListView" from scratch. The only way to truly override the Gallery's center-locking feature is to override the private scrollIntoSlots method, which I believe would require generating a subclass at runtime. If you're bold enough to do that, it's arguably the best solution, but I don't want to rely on undocumented methods that could change.

Swathi EP below suggested that I give the Gallery an OnTouchListener and override the scroll functionality. If you don't care about having fling support in your list, or if it's okay for the views to snap to the center at the end of the fling animation, then this will work for you! However, in the end it still proves impossible to remove the center-locking feature without removing fling support. And I ask you, what kind of list doesn't fling?

So, alas, this did not work for me. :-( But if you're interested in this approach, read on...

I also had to make some additions to Swathi's code to get what I wanted. In GestureListener.onTouch, in addition to delegating to the gesture detector, I also had to return true for ACTION_UP and ACTION_CANCEL events. That successfully disabled the center-locking feature, but it also disabled flinging. I was able to re-enable fling by having my own GestureListener delegate to the Gallery's onFling method. If you want to try it out, go into your ApiDemos sample code and replace the Gallery1.java class with the following code:

import com.example.android.apis.R;

import android.app.Activity;

        setContentView(R.layout.gallery_1);

        // Reference the Gallery view
        final Gallery g = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery);

        // Set the adapter to our custom adapter (below)
        g.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));

        // Set a item click listener, and just Toast the clicked position
        g.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id) {
                Toast.makeText(Gallery1.this, "" + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

                    retVal = true;
                    onUp();

                    g.getChildAt(i).setPressed(false);

How to dynamically update a ListView on Android [closed]

On Android, how can I a ListView that filters based on user input, where the items shown are updated dynamically based on the TextView value?

I'm looking for something like this:

ListView inside ScrollView is not scrolling on Android

I am having trouble with a scrolling ListView inside a ScrollView. I have an Activity which has some EditTexts in the top part and then a tab host with two tabs which have one ListView each. When the EditText views are focused, the soft keyboard comes up and as I have a ScrollView, the content is scrollable. But the problem comes when there are more items in ListViews (ones in tabs), I am not able to scroll the ListView, even if there are more items.

The following is the layout XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Android ListView headers

I have ListView that has some kind of events on it. Events are sorted by day, and I would like to have header with date on it for every day, and then events listen below.

Here is how I populate that list:

ArrayList<TwoText> crs = new ArrayList<TwoText>();

     crs.add(new TwoText("This will be header",event.getDate()));

     for (Event event : events) {
            crs.add(new TwoText(event.getStartString()+"-"+event.getEndString(),event.getSubject()));
        }

       arrayAdapter = new TwoTextArrayAdapter(this,R.layout.my_list_item, crs);
       lv1.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);

and this is how my class TwoText looks:

public class TwoText {
    public String classID;
    public String state;

    public TwoText(String classID, String state) {
        this.classID = classID;
        this.state = state;
    }
}

and this is how my TwoTextArrayAdapter class looks:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class TwoTextArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<TwoText> {

    private ArrayList<TwoText> classes;
    private Activity con;
    TextView seperator;

    public TwoTextArrayAdapter(Activity context, int textViewResourceId, ArrayList<TwoText> classes) {
        super(context, textViewResourceId, classes);
        this.con = context;
        this.classes = classes;

    }

    @Override

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        View v = convertView;

        if (v == null) {

            LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) con.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            v = vi.inflate(R.layout.my_list_item, null);

        }

        TwoText user = classes.get(position);

        if (user != null) {

            TextView content1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.list_content1);

            TextView content2 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.list_content2);

            if (content1 != null) {

                content1.setText(user.classID);
            }   
            if(content2 != null) {

                content2.setText(user.state);
            }
        }
        return v;
    }
}

and this is my_list_item.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    <TextView
        style="?android:attr/listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
        android:id="@+id/separator"
        android:text="Header"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#757678"
        android:textColor="#f5c227" />

    <LinearLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/list_content1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_margin="5dip"
            android:clickable="false"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:longClickable="false"
            android:paddingBottom="1dip"
            android:paddingTop="1dip"
            android:text="sample"
            android:textColor="#ff7f1d"
            android:textSize="17dip"
            android:textStyle="bold" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/list_content2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_margin="5dip"
            android:clickable="false"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:linksClickable="false"
            android:longClickable="false"
            android:paddingBottom="1dip"
            android:paddingTop="1dip"
            android:text="sample"
            android:textColor="#6d6d6d"
            android:textSize="17dip" />
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

what I do at the moment is that I am adding header just as regular list object, but Id like it to be as header and in my case have a date on it.

I have this code in my xml for header:

<TextView
        style="?android:attr/listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
        android:id="@+id/separator"
        android:text="Header"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#757678"
        android:textColor="#f5c227" />

and I tried hiding it when it is unneccessary and showing it when neccessary but I just messed up rest of my code. I tried few more tutorials but they also had same effect.

Could anyone guide me on how to do that easy way?

custom listview adapter getView method being called multiple times, and in no coherent order

I have a custom list adapter:

class ResultsListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<RecordItem> {

in the overridden 'getView' method I do a print to check what position is and whether it is a convertView or not:

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        System.out.println("getView " + position + " " + convertView);

The output of this (when the list is first displayed, no user input as yet)

AFAIK, though I couldn't find it stated explicitly, getView() is only called for visible rows. Since my app starts with four visible rows at least the position numbers cycling from 0-3 makes sense. But the rest is a mess:

  • Why is getview called for each row three times?
  • Where are these convertViews coming from when I haven't scrolled yet?

I did a bit of reseach, and without getting a good answer, I did notice that people were associating this issue with layout issues. So in case, here's the layout that contains the list:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView android:id="@+id/pageDetails"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <ListView android:id="@+id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" />

</LinearLayout>

and the layout of each individual row:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="108dp"    
android:padding="4dp">

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/thumb"        
    android:layout_width="120dp"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"        
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="8dp"        
    android:src="@drawable/loading" />

<TextView  
    android:id="@+id/price"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="18dp"         
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/thumb"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"       
    android:singleLine="true" />

<TextView  
    android:id="@+id/date"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="18dp"         
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true" 
    android:paddingRight="4dp"       
    android:singleLine="true" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/title"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="17dp" 
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/thumb"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:paddingRight="4dp"   
    android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true"
    android:gravity="center" />

</RelativeLayout>

Thank you for your time

Android List View Drag and Drop sort

I have a list of records in a listview that I want the user to be able to re-sort using a drag and drop method. I have seen this implemented in other apps, but I have not found a tutorial for it. It must be something that others need as well. Can anyone point me to some code for doing this?

Android - ListView click HOWTO?

How do I listen to click event on a ListView?

This is what I have now

ListView list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.ListView01);  
...  
list.setAdapter(adapter);  

When I do the following

list.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {  
   public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parentView, View childView, 
                                                         int position, long id) 
   {  
       setDetail(position);  
   }

   public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parentView) {  

   }  
});  

That doesn't seem to do anything on click.
And all those code live within a class that extends Activity.

How to Get a Layout Inflater Given a Context?

I am writing a custom implementation of a ListAdapter.

In its constructor, I'm taking in a Context, a resource ID (i.e. R.id.xxx representing the layout file), and a list and a map (these contain the data).

Now, the problem is that i will need a LayoutInflater to get the View object which is in the separate layout XML file.

How can I get hold of the LayoutInflater given only the Context?

Now, why I think this is possible, is that this is quite similar to what is being passed in to the constructor of an ArrayAdapter (context, resource, textViewResourceId, data array), and I figure the ArrayAdapter also has to make use of a LayoutInflater given only a Context.

But how can it be done?
