Custom ListView | Android Developer Tutorial (Part 17)

Now, we shall look at creating a custom list view – a custom layout, a custom row layout and how we bind the custom data holder to these layouts. (please see the earlier article on simple list view for the fundamentals of list view).

So, here again, we start with extending ListActivity.
public class MyCustomListView extends ListActivity {

Now let us create the custom list view in an xml file – custom_list_view.xml. This will be set using the setContentView() in onCreate() method:
<ListView android:id="@id/android:list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#000fff"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false">
</ListView>
<TextView android:id="@id/android:empty"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FFff00"
android:text="No data"
/>
Note that it must contain a ListView object with android:id="@id/android:list"

I have also declared a TextView which should be whon when the list if empty by declaring with android:id="@id/android:empty"

Now we will declare how each row in this ListView should be displayed by creating a new xml file – custom_row_view.xml

I plan to have 3 items one below the other in each row. So, here is the declaration for the same:
<TextView android:id="@+id/text1"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#FFFF00"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/text2"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/text3"
android:typeface="sans"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
So, now, how do I tie all of this together? The MyCustomListView class, the listview layout and the row layout. Just like in the earlier example, we need a ListAdpater object. Here I plan to use a SimpleAdpater provided by the SDK.

An adapter expects the context, the layout and the handle to the data that needs to be displayed. So, let us create a list of data in an ArrayList of HashMaps. This way, the HashMap can store any amount of data.

static final ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> list =

new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
This is just a declaration of the list object. We need to populate it with data. Our custom row layout expects each row to have 3 prices of data…

This list is populated in a method as shown below with the 3 keys as ‘pen’, ‘price’ and ‘color’:

private void populateList() {
HashMap<String,String> temp = new HashMap<String,String>();
temp.put("pen","MONT Blanc");
temp.put("price", "200.00$");
temp.put("color", "Silver, Grey, Black");
list.add(temp);
HashMap<String,String> temp1 = new HashMap<String,String>();
temp1.put("pen","Gucci");
temp1.put("price", "300.00$");
temp1.put("color", "Gold, Red");
list.add(temp1);
HashMap<String,String> temp2 = new HashMap<String,String>();
temp2.put("pen","Parker");
temp2.put("price", "400.00$");
temp2.put("color", "Gold, Blue");
list.add(temp2);
HashMap<String,String> temp3 = new HashMap<String,String>();
temp3.put("pen","Sailor");
temp3.put("price", "500.00$");
temp3.put("color", "Silver");
list.add(temp3);
HashMap<String,String> temp4 = new HashMap<String,String>();
temp4.put("pen","Porsche Design");
temp4.put("price", "600.00$");
temp4.put("color", "Silver, Grey, Red");
list.add(temp4);
}
So, now how do we tie up the data with the row layout and the listview layout. It is in this simple piece of code in the onCreate() method of MyCustomListView class:
setContentView(R.layout.custom_list_view);
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
this,
list,
R.layout.custom_row_view,
new String[] {"pen","price","color"},
new int[] {R.id.text1,R.id.text2, R.id.text3}

);
populateList();


setListAdapter(adapter);
Here we have set the default view to custom_list_view.
Then, using the SimpleAdapter, we have set the context, the list containing the data for display, the custom_row_view, the keys by which the data has to be fetched from the list, the TextViews into which the corresponding data has to be displayed.

Now execute and you will have a custom list view. Here is what you will get to see:


NOTE: if you do not populate the list with any data, you will see another view – the empty listview that we have defined in the custom_list_view.xml

You can download the complete source code for this example here.

Added later:
Based on a question below, I would like to add that an item can be clicked even in this custom list and the even captured by overriding the onListItemClick() method on the ListActivity class.

Here is the piece of code you can add to my sample, if you haev downlaoded and ti will toast a message on what has been selected:



protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {

    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    Object o = this.getListAdapter().getItem(position);
    String pen = o.toString();
    Toast.makeText(this, "You have chosen the pen: " + " " + pen, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Enjoy....

  6. Hi Khine,

    You just have to override the protected method on ListActivity - onListItemClick to capture the click event. I have added the same piece of code from the simple listview here.:

    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    Object o = this.getListAdapter().getItem(position);
    String pen = o.toString();
    Toast.makeText(this, "You have chosen the pen: " + " " + pen, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    This should work for you.

  7. Hi Anonymous,

    Regarding the Hashmap being a heavy object, I agree. in my example, the data is hardcoded and hence I had to use hashmaps. However, in real applications, I would imagine that the data is coming from come content provider or SQLite DB and you could just iterate through the resultset and reuse a single collection object to populate the list. Just my thoughts... any other way you discover, feel free to share.

  13. Hi Sai Geetha!
    I have got a problem about event handler in my customized listview
    My ListView have: ImageIcon, TextView and an ImageButton. As ListView14 example in API demos, i creat a classes extended BaseAdapter. In getView()

    if(view == null) {
    mHolder = new ViewHolder();
    view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_list_item, null);

    mHolder.song_icon = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.music_icon);
    mHolder.song_name = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.music_song_name);
    mHolder.song_price = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.music_price);
    mHolder.song_view = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.music_view);
    //mHolder.play_btn = (ImageButton) view.findViewById(R.id.play_btn);
    ((ImageButton) view.findViewById(R.id.play_btn)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Toast.makeText(mContext , "Button Clicked: " +
    mMusic.get(mPosition).name, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
    });


    view.setTag(mHolder);
    } else {
    mHolder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
    }


    And now i want to handler event for each item(ImageView, TextView, and Button) by clicked on ImageButton an i want recervice text in TextView correlative with each ImageButton. Now, i have no idea to solve this problem. Please notify me when you have some ideas!
    Thanks in advance!

  15. Hi Luis,

    This is very simple Java code. When I convert the whole HashMap to String, it is showing with braces. Instead of converting the Object to String directly, convert it back to HashMap and retrieve the value for the key "pen".

    Here is the code for the same:

    HashMap fullObject = (HashMap)o;
    Toast.makeText(this, "You have chosen the pen: " + " " + fullObject.get("pen"), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    private void populateList() {
    HashMap temp = new HashMap();
    for(int j=0;j<name1.length;j++)
    {
    temp.put("name",name1[j]);

  59. hi, could you help, please? :]

    Do you remember what happen when there are a listview that contains some icons (about three icons), and I touch the screen and scrollup or scrolldown, so the list (of icons) moves and following my finger.

    So I remove my finger from screen and the list back to the original position (because have less icon then the size of screen). Look this effect.

    Well, my problem is that I have a activity and in this activity I've a View (HorizontalScrollView) and it don't have the same effect, like Listview. The icons (or other views) inside HorizontalScrollView just follows to touch event, but when it leaves the icons(views) stay at the position where it stopped.

    As I don't find a horizontal listview, I'm trying to use scrollview with this effect. Do you know how to do this?

    Thanks for your attention

  89. Hi, can anyone help?

    lets say there is no price for Parker pen. This will leave an empty row in the listview. Can i get rid of this row?

    temp2.put("pen","Parker");
    //temp2.put("price","400.00$");

    Reason for this is that i am building app with name, phone1, phone2 and phone3. not everyone will have the phone2 and phone3 data and so it shows 2 empty rows in the listview. is there anyway to supress these empty rows? i set the textview height to wrap_content but it is not doing anything :(

  95. Sai Geetha

    Thank you many times over for this post, it brought the whole process into focus for me, and I was able to go from your example to a fill-the-list-from-a-cursor very quickly.

    Now I find I have to go further. Some of the text rows in my db will need to contain markup - and from what I've read that means they need to be fed to the their textviews as SPANS instead of as STRINGS.

    Can simpleadapter handle this somehow? Or do I need to write my own?
    Any direction you can give would be greatly appreciated.

      This is very nice blog i always refer this blog for android.
      i want to set the dynamic scroll height for my (dynamic hashmap) i mean for dynamic list item
      eg.

      my listview layout is as follows..

      android:id="@id/android:list"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="2400dp"
      android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
      android:divider="#736F6E"
      android:dividerHeight="1dp"
      android:fadingEdge="none"
      android:layout_weight="2"
      android:listSelector="@drawable/strip"


      in above example i have mentioned android:layout_height="2400dp"

    earthquakes = json.getJSONArray("results");

    for(int i=0;i();
    e = earthquakes.getJSONObject(i);

    map.put("id", String.valueOf(i));
    map.put("icon", "" + e.getString("icon"));
    map.put("vicinity", "" + e.getString("vicinity"));
    map.put("name", "" + e.getString("name"));
    strurl=e.getString("icon");

    mylist.add(map);
    }
    }catch(JSONException e) {
    Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
    }


    ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, mylist , R.layout.aa,

    new String[] {"icon","name", "vicinity" },
    new int[] {R.id.imageihavefun,R.id.item_title, R.id.item_subtitle } );

    setListAdapter(adapter);

  102. Hi, I don't have your email ID and therefore I am sending your this request via a comment. Would you be interested in writing a blog comparing the following libraries for writing list adapters with sections?
