I am developing an android app, and in one fragment, I already have a listview and have a set of items that will be added to this listview via an arrayadapter. However, I was requested to dynamically color some list items based on a particular property in the original database, specifically bold only those elements to highlight them. Is there any possible way to acheve this with the arrayAdapter class, or if not, considering this is a simplistic use case, what can I do to achieve this

  • you can check for particular criteria for styling in public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) method. – Sandeep Dec 22 '16 at 07:30

It's very easy to handle this problem you just have to put a condition in your adapter and if that condition is true you just have to customize your item as it's asked from you .

  if(condition)
    {
        view.setBackgroundColor(activity.getResources().getColor(R.color.White));

    }

And if you want to set a TextView as Bold programmatically in your adapter check your condition and set it like below :

textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);

you can do it by your ArrayAdapter class, just put you condition in adapter getView Method, and set your text view as a bold

if(conditionPart){
    textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD); // For bold
    textView.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.Black)); // For Black Color Background
}else{
    textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL);// For Noral
    textView.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.Gray)); // For Gray Color Background
}

  1. Refer to this tutorial: https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Using-an-ArrayAdapter-with-ListView

  2. Extend ArrayAdapter class and override getView() method

  3. Apply conditional statement as mentioned above
