This is a follow on from an earlier question: ImageButton within row of ListView android not working But after suggestions from SO gurus it has been suggested I post a new question. The issue is that I have a custom adapter that is not showing any data. I have looked into other questions, but it didn't provide a solution.
In my Main Activity I have a couple of buttons, one of them: ToDo, should create a row that displays data from a SQLite database, and depending on some factors (dates mainly), it shows a type of traffic light that is stored as a drawable.
Part of the Items in this Row is an Image Button that I want the user to be able to click and the image should change. The user should be able also to click on the actual row and a new activity starts.
The issue I have is that NO DATA is being displayed.
So, here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// definitions etc ...
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// definitions etc ...
}
public void ToDo(View v){ // the user has clicked in the ToDo button
IgroDatabaseHelper helper = new IgroDatabaseHelper(getBaseContext()); // create instance of SQLIte database
numRows = helper.NumEntries("ToDo"); // Get the number of rows in table
int i = 1;
ArrayList<RowItem> rowItems = new ArrayList<>();
RowItem myItem1;
while (i <= numRows){
// get items from database
// depending on value select different drawable
// put data into List Array of RowItem
myItem1 = new RowItem(TheWhat, R.drawable.teamworka, R.drawable.redtrafficlight, R.drawable.checkbox, TheWhenBy);
rowItems.add(myItem1);
//
i = i+ 1;
}
ListView yourListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
CustomListViewAdapter customAdapter = new CustomListViewAdapter(this, R.layout.todo_row, rowItems);
yourListView.setAdapter(customAdapter);
}
The CustomListViewAdapter looks like this:
public class CustomListViewAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<RowItem> {
Context context;
ArrayList<RowItem> _rowItems;
public CustomListViewAdapter(Context context, int resourceId,
ArrayList<RowItem> rowItems) {
super(context, resourceId);
this.context = context;
_rowItems = rowItems;
System.out.println("I am in the custom Adapter class "+ _rowItems);
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
System.out.println("This is the get view");
View row = convertView;
RowItem item = _rowItems.get(position);
// you can now get your string and drawable from the item
// which you can use however you want in your list
String columnName = item.getColumnName();
int drawable = item.getDrawable();
if (row == null) {
LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
row = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.todo_row, parent, false);
}
ImageButton chkDone = (ImageButton) row.findViewById(R.id.chkDone);
chkDone.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
View parentRow = (View) v.getParent();
ListView listView = (ListView) parentRow.getParent();
final int position = listView.getPositionForView(parentRow);
System.out.println("I am in position "+ position);
}
});
return row;
}
}
The RowItem Class looks like:
public class RowItem {
private String _heading;
private int _icon;
private int _lights;
private int _chkdone;
private String _date;
public RowItem(String heading, int icon, int lights, int chkDone, String date) {
_heading = heading;
_icon = icon;
_lights = lights;
_chkdone = chkDone;
_date = date;
System.out.println("adding stuff to my rows");
System.out.println("my column Name is " + heading);
System.out.println("My drawable int is "+ icon);
}
public String getColumnName() {
System.out.println("column Names is "+ _heading);
return _heading;
}
public int getDrawable() {
return _icon;
}
public int getLights(){
return _lights;
}
public int getchkDone(){
return _chkdone;
}
public String getDate(){
return _date;
}
}
I am obviously missing something, as I mentioned earlier, no data gets shown. I know that there are 2 row items that get passed to the CustomListViewAdapter. But I also know that the View getView inside the CustomListViewAdapter does not actually get called.
I hope I have put enough information/code, but if you feel I need to explain something further, please say.
Thanking all very much in advance!
