android - listview get item view by position

Question

I have listview with custom adapter (base adapter). I want to get view from listview by position. I tried mListView.getChildAt(position) , but it is not working. How can i get item view by position?

Answer 1

Use this :

public View getViewByPosition(int pos, ListView listView) {
    final int firstListItemPosition = listView.getFirstVisiblePosition();
    final int lastListItemPosition = firstListItemPosition + listView.getChildCount() - 1;

    if (pos < firstListItemPosition || pos > lastListItemPosition ) {
        return listView.getAdapter().getView(pos, null, listView);
    } else {
        final int childIndex = pos - firstListItemPosition;
        return listView.getChildAt(childIndex);
    }
}

You can get only visible View from ListView because row views in ListView are reuseable. If you use mListView.getChildAt(0) you get first visible view. This view is associated with item from adapter at position mListView.getFirstVisiblePosition().
