Android - How to get position in bindView like in getView?

Question

In getView() of CursorAdapter, there's a parameter position so I can do a checking for that position, how can I do the same on bindView() it has no position parameter in BindView.

Currently I'm overriding newView(), bindView() and getView() which I read and heard is bad, either override getView() OR newView() and getView().

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try this

public void bindView(View arg0, Context arg1, Cursor arg2)
{
    int pos = arg2.getPosition();
}

Answer 2

codeboys answer is correct, cursor.getPosition() will do. But if someone needs position in the onClick event of listitems subitem, for instance icon inside the listItem, the solution is to put a position as setTag on the icon and retreive it when event occurs:

@Override
public void bindView(View vw, Context ctx, final Cursor cursor) {
    /* ...
    *  do your binding 
    */
    ImageView icon = (ImageView) vw.findViewById(R.id.your_icon);
    icon.setTag(cursor.getPosition());   // here you set position on a tag
    icon.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //  use a tag to get the right position 
            ((MainActivity) context).onIconClick((int)v.getTag());
        }
    });
}
