I've created a ListView
which is using FastScroll
. (see pic) When the user clicks any of the below Button (viz. All Tracks, Artists, Album), everytime the following custom ArrayAdater is called
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ScrollIndexListAdapter(Listing.this, elements);
//Code for ScrollIndexListAdapter is below
and the same ListView is updated.
PROBLEM: According to my investigation in Android, the getSections()
method is called only once (i.e. only when the first time ScrollIndexListAdapter is called).
This time the sections are populated & the fastScrolling works perfectly.
But when I update the ListView by clicking on Artists/Album, the getSections()
method is not called. So the older sections are used, and the FastScrolling still shows previews of old alphabets.
So, how can I make sections get updated everytime when the ListView is updated?
There is a setSections()
method, but I'm not able to find how to use it.
Code for ScrollIndexListAdapter class:
public class ScrollIndexListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter implements
SectionIndexer {
// Variables for SectionIndexer List Fast Scrolling
HashMap<String, Integer> alphaIndexer;
String[] sections;
private static ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
public ScrollIndexListAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> list) {
super(context, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1,
list);
this.list.clear();
this.list.addAll(list);
/*
* Setting SectionIndexer
*/
alphaIndexer = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
int size = list.size();
for (int x = 0; x < size; x++) {
String s = (String) list.get(x);
// Get the first character of the track
String ch = s.substring(0, 1);
// convert to uppercase otherwise lowercase a -z will be sorted
// after upper A-Z
ch = ch.toUpperCase();
if (!alphaIndexer.containsKey(ch)) {
alphaIndexer.put(ch, x);
}
}
Set<String> sectionLetters = alphaIndexer.keySet();
// create a list from the set to sort
ArrayList<String> sectionList = new ArrayList<String>(
sectionLetters);
Collections.sort(sectionList);
sections = new String[sectionList.size()];
sectionList.toArray(sections);
}
/*
* Methods for AphhabelIndexer for List Fast Scrolling
*/
@Override
public int getPositionForSection(int section) {
String letter = (String) sections[section];
return alphaIndexer.get(letter);
}
@Override
public int getSectionForPosition(int position) {
String letter = (String) sections[position];
return alphaIndexer.get(letter);
}
@Override
public Object[] getSections() {
return sections;
}
}
It seems that latest FastScroll version doesn't have that problem. But, in your case, there's a turn around. When setting the adapter to the ListView, disable and enable the fast scrolling. See the code below:
adapter = new ScrollIndexListAdapter(this, data);
listView.setFastScrollEnabled(false);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
listView.setFastScrollEnabled(true);
