i'm trying to add a contextual action mode to a listview, but i'm having some problems with the selection, if i make aList1.setSelection(position) it doesn't select anything, and if i make List1.setItemChecked(position, true) it works but it only changes the font color a little and i want it to change the background or something more notable, is there any way to detect the selection and manually and change the background, or i'm missing something?
the list:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false">
</ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
the adapter:
public class ServicesRowAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String[]> {
private final Activity context;
private final ArrayList<String[]> names;
static class ViewHolder {
public TextView Id;
public TextView Date;
public RelativeLayout statusbar,bglayout;
}
public ServicesRowAdapter(Activity context, ArrayList<String[]> names) {
super(context, R.layout.servicesrowlayout, names);
this.context = context;
this.names = names;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View rowView = convertView;
if (rowView == null) {
LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.servicesrowlayout, null);
ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
viewHolder.Id = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.idlabel);
viewHolder.Date = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.datelabel);
rowView.setTag(viewHolder);
}
ViewHolder holder = (ViewHolder) rowView.getTag();
holder.Date.setText(names.get(position)[2]);
holder.Id.setText(names.get(position)[1]);
return rowView;
}
}
with the use of a layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/idlabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="#+id/idlabel"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:width="70dp" >
</TextView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/datelabel"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#+id/datelabel"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="90dp" >
</TextView>
</RelativeLayout
This is becasue in touch mode there is no focused or selection. You're on the right track using the checked state. You just need to use a state drawable with different states.
Steps:
1) In your row_layout.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/item_selector"
>
2) Create a new xml file (match the name to the one you used in your row layout) in your drawable folder like so (note that I have a color.xml file set up so I can use #color/color, if you don't you can simply put a hex color code in there):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_activated="true"
android:drawable="#color/blue" />
</selector>
That's it. It's not reaql intuitive, but "activated" basically means "checked" when you have enabled the checked state.
With that setup (and enabling the list rows to be checkable) you will now have the background changed from whatever it is normally to blue when in the checked state. Add code to set that state in onTouch or onClick and you'll be all set. The background will stay that way until you touch another item.

I want to change a text color in text spinner in dropView. I tried to override the method getDropDownView and change a text color but it doesn't work.
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
extendedCursor, from, to, CursorAdapter.FLAG_REGISTER_CONTENT_OBSERVER) {
#Override
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView,android.view.ViewGroup parent){
View v = convertView;
if (v == null) {
Context mContext = AddEditLoadActivity.this;
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
// Androids orginal spinner view item
v = vi.inflate(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, null);
}
// The text view of the spinner list view
TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
boolean disabled = !isEnabled(position);
if(disabled){tv.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);}
else{tv.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);}
return v;
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
extendedCursor.moveToPosition(position);
return extendedCursor.getLong(extendedCursor.getColumnIndex(DatabaseContract.DictionaryTable.ITEM_ID));
}
};
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item this line in your spinner adapter use default behavior, try using custom layout to change text color.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#android:id/text1"
style="?attr/spinnerDropDownItemStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/dropdownListPreferredItemHeight"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/your_color" />
make sure its id will be #android:id/text1 and don't be changed.
use own custom layout
Create a layout named spinner_row.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#316FA2"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:gravity="left"
android:singleLine="true"
android:padding="6dip"
android:textColor="#color/white" />///you can add your color
/>
replace android.R.layout with R.layout.spinner_row.xml
I am new to Android and I am currently developing an app that contains a listview with simple text. When the user clicks the text in the listview a sharing intent is triggered. I have used a custom adapter to set a different typeface to the text in my listview. The problem is when I run the app the listview is being seen but the content is invisible. But When I tap on the listview the sharing intent is triggered as it should be. I don't know what is causing it. I searched in Stack Overflow and google and tried some steps but it didn't work out for me. Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Your ListViewItem contain a TextView but its value was not init.
Try to set value for textView in xml file or in java code.
Try one of below ways:
1. By XML file: 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
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:id="#+id/instView"
android:text="This is text sample"/>
</LinearLayout>
2. by Java code: CustomAdapter.java
public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>{
private final Context context;
private final String[] values;
public CustomAdapter(Context context, String[] values) {
super(context,R.layout.list_item,values);
this.context = context;
this.values = values;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
View rview = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item,null);
TextView txt = (TextView)rview.findViewById(R.id.instView);
txt.setText(values[position]);
AssetManager mgr = context.getAssets();
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(mgr,"fonts/RalewayRegular.ttf");
txt.setTypeface(tf);
return rview;
}
}
I didn't see anywhere that you added text inside TextView.
Can you put the data to show in TextView view inside getView() method like :
txt.setText(values.get(position));
I'm working on it Android project. I have a prefs.xml code, something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

</PreferenceScreen>
And I need to custom preference layout. And I created;
custom_name_setting_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dip"

And write a SettingActivity.java
public class SettingActivity extends PreferenceActivity implements SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {
int color = 0xffffff00;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.prefs);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_name_setting_layout, null);
ImageView ivNameTextColor = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.ivNameTextColor);
ivNameTextColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
}
}
My problem is; I write setBackgroundColor method but not working. Not working meanin is, this program is running without error (like NullReferenceException, there is no error). But background color still not changing.
I don't know why. How can i solve this problem?
Thanks
Obviously, if you are hard-coding the color then you can just do it in your XML:
android:background="#android:color/red"
If you want to do it in code then unfortunately it's trickier than it might seem. You can't just set the color of the preference view in onCreate() because the preference views are stored in a list and are created and recycled dynamically as you scroll the list.
You need to set the background color when the view is being created. To do that you'll need to implement a custom preference class and override getView():
public class CustomColorPreference extends Preference
{
int backgroundColor = Color.BLACK;
public CustomColorPreference(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomColorPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public void setCustomBackgroundColor(int color)
{
backgroundColor = color;
}
#Override
public View getView(View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
View v = super.getView(convertView, parent);
// v.setBackgroundColor(backgroundColor); // set background color of whole view
ImageView ivNameTextColor = (ImageView)v.findViewById(R.id.ivNameTextColor);
ivNameTextColor.setBackgroundColor(backgroundColor);
return v;
}
}
Change your XML to use the CustomColorPreference class:
<com.example.yourapp.CustomColorPreference
android:key="pref_name_color_picker"
android:title="Colour"
android:summary="Colour of the name"
android:defaultValue="#FFFFFF"
android:layout="#layout/custom_name_setting_layout" />
Then in your onCreate you can get the CustomColorPreference and set the color on it using the public method setCustomBackgroundColor():
CustomColorPreference picker = (CustomColorPreference)findPreference("pref_name_color_picker");
picker.setCustomBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
I have listview that i want to fill the whole screen,There are four items in listview. It leaves empty space below after four items are filled.You can see in the screenshot. It leaves the blank space. I want whole screen to be covered.
I would like to have like this:
Here is the source Code

Using ListView in such case is strange and unnecessary. Think about your constraints (like: what if items overflow?) and just use a proper layout manager. Like a vertical LinearLayout with the last item having a non-zero layout weight.
ListViews make sense only if you need an abstraction that generates list items on-the-fly.
You would want to set a background on the ListView. Currently your view should be going to the bottom, but the background of the ListView is transparent, so setting it white should achieve what you're asking.
<ListView ...
android:background="#android:color/white"
... />
if there are so few items, you can use the LinearLayout instead, and give weights for each of its items.
However, do note that android supports many devices and screens, so you might want to have a limitation of how small each row would be.
anyway, in case you wish to make each row the fitting height, you can check its size and then divide by the number of items.
in order to get the size of the listView , you can use this small snippet i've made .
My app is for reading news from one site. The news parse from RSS feed and display as list of elements that include title and date. The main layout is ListView, and the layout post_entry for messages (news) looks like this:
<?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:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:id="#+id/post_title">
</TextView>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="10sp"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:id="#+id/post_pubDate">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
One TextView for the title, and another is for date.
Adapter for this view looks like this:
public class PostAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<PostItem> {
public ArrayList<PostItem> messages;
public LayoutInflater inflater;
public PostAdapter(Activity context, int resource,
ArrayList<PostItem> objects) {
super(context, resource, objects);
messages = objects;
inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
static class ViewHolder {
public TextView titleView;
public TextView pubDateView;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.post_entry, null, true);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.titleView = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.post_title);
holder.pubDateView = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.post_pubDate);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.titleView.setText(messages.get(position).title);
holder.pubDateView.setText(messages.get(position).date);
return convertView;
}
}
I want to add the button for refresh in the main activity.
After in the main activity looks like that:
<?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"
>
<ListView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.8" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/refresh"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:text="Refresh"
android:onClick="Update"/>
</LinearLayout>
In graphical mode in Eclipse I see the list of items and the button below it.
Everything seems ok, but when I run my app there is no button on the screen. I see just list of the news.
Do you know why can this be? And how to add the button below the list?
