android listview item height

Question

Why when i use SimpleCursorAdapter for ListView i have items height in ListView like this -

(My code based on this)

But when using arrays Listview items have big height

(I learn listview based on this)

Row layout for item listview is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView android:id="@+id/text1"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

So My question is why there is a difference in row heights when using ArrayAdapter and SimpleCursorAdapter?

Answer 1

  android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" 

seemed no effect.

  android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" 

changed the height for me

Answer 2

The trick for me was not setting the height -- but instead setting the minHeight. This must be applied to the root view of whatever layout your custom adapter is using to render each row.
