Alternative of List Within List?

Question

It is recommended Everywhere that List Within List shouldnot be used but i have to use same as List Within list.Is there any way that would work same as list within list.I have watched Expandable ListView and this but not able to solve my issue.my requirement Look like

  **ListView**
         **TextView** 
         **TextView** 
         **ListView**(i have used Linear layout in here)

In my Layout i have placed Linear Layout in the Place of inner listView.Inner ListView(Linear Layout in my case) is only setting one JSON Data in the innerView.I want to display that same as outer ListView in Inner.How can this be possible? fragment_fee

can you post some sample screenshot. there is no way you need to use listview inside listview. — Stephen, Mar 29 '17 at 10:05
so you are telling like each data is getting iterated with the same last item but of exact count as you need? — g7pro, Mar 29 '17 at 10:09
I am getting only Last data to be printed. please see the screenshot.i want all the data like (latecharge,monthlyfee,extra charge ) in one as list — Ghimire, Mar 29 '17 at 10:10
debug the app and see the for loop in which each time the data is added to the list you are using the same object being added always create a new object and addd to the lsit soleves your issue — g7pro, Mar 29 '17 at 10:12

From that screenshot it seems, there is no point to use listview inside listview. You can use Section header listview or else use just listview and set background color for first item in adapter.
In adapter, based on the condition, you can hide and show the child views.

you must add student_list.add inside the for loop like below:

     for (int j = 0; j < jArray1.length(); j++) {


      JSONObject jsonObjectinner = jArray1.getJSONObject(j);

      Descriptionlist = jsonObjectinner.getString("des");

      Amount = jsonObjectinner.getString("Amount"); 

      student_list.add(new StudentFeeInformation(status, DateofReceiptIssued, ReceiptNumber, FeeReceivedDate, Descriptionlist, Amount));

     }

Layout:

Fees -> You should add this fees title in top of the list view in activity layout not adapter layout.

In Adapter:

First item : Use horizontal linear layout as a first item and set background color green.

Second item : Use horizontal linear layout as a second item and set background color as silver or light transparent color.

Third item : Use horizontal linear layout as a third item.

For all child items : fourth, fifth and sixth items use horizontal linear layout and put two textviews inside that.

Use expandable listview or else follow the layout structure I have mentioned in the answer. – Stephen Mar 29 '17 at 10:55
@user2025187 can you please help me. – Ghimire Mar 31 '17 at 05:50
@Ghimire yes that also you can do .that is what I mentioned already in this answer.in adapter, use linear layout vertical as a parent. Then below all linearlayout are horizontal – Stephen Mar 31 '17 at 06:20

You can use expandable recycler view as explained in Expandable Recycler view

All you need to do is define child for parents 1 and 6. For other positions you can simply treat them as parent with no child.

You need to define proper model class and pass the data in model.

How can ExpandableList View be used?As i have Shown in screen Shot 2.The Description Data are to be listed as like the ListView.If i made outer as ExpandableListView then how can all the list Item be added(i.e for inner List) – Ghimire Mar 30 '17 at 10:19
@Ghimire all the inner items seems to be child. You can achieve what you want with expandable listview.First try to run sample using expandable list view and understand how they are handling string array.Then parse json to that string array. – Stephen Mar 31 '17 at 06:02
@Stephen I am thinking about Can the LinearLayout be inflated with the rowView(in the place of inner list).If yes then my problem will be solved? – Ghimire Mar 31 '17 at 06:04

Alternative of List Within List?
