I have list item with EditText
in it, I don't know how many items there will be. I have a problem when I enter some text in EditText
, and then scroll down a ListView
, after I've scroll up again there is no text in my first EditText
, or there is some text from other EditText
from ListView
.
I've tried TextWatcher
, and saving data to array, but problems is that returned position of view in ListView
isn't always right, so I lost some data from array.
Here is my code:
public class EfficientAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
public String[] Current;
ArrayList<String> MeterName, PreviousReading, Current_Reading;
JSONArray getArray_Meter_Reading;
public EfficientAdapter(Context context, JSONArray getArray_Meter_Reading) {
mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
this.getArray_Meter_Reading = getArray_Meter_Reading;
MeterName = new ArrayList<String>();
PreviousReading = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < getArray_Meter_Reading.length(); i++) {
try {
String Meter_Name = getArray_Meter_Reading.getJSONObject(i)
.getString("MeterName").toString();
String previous_Meter_Reading = getArray_Meter_Reading
.getJSONObject(i).getString("PrevMeterReading")
.toString();
MeterName.add(Meter_Name);
PreviousReading.add(previous_Meter_Reading);
// Meter[i]=MeterName.get(i);
// Previous[i]=PreviousReading.get(i);
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public int getCount() {
return getArray_Meter_Reading.length();
}
public Object getItem(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return position;
}
public long getItemId(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return position;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
final ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.meter_reading_list, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.adp_MeterName = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.txt_Meter_Name);
holder.adp_Previous = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.txt_Previous);
holder.adp_Current = (EditText) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.ed_Current);
holder.adp_Current.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int before, int count) {
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int count, int after) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
});
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.ref = position;
holder.adp_MeterName.setText(MeterName.get(position));
holder.adp_Previous.setText(PreviousReading.get(position));

Here I have included a HashMap object which will keep an eye on if EditText contains value or not.And when you scroll the listview,it will be rendered again by calling its getView method along with the text associated with each edittext.
In this code,when you firstly load listview,all your edittext will be with no text.once you enter some text,it will be noted in myList.So when you again render the list,your text would be prevented.
One more thing,you should implement textwatcher outside if(convertView==null)..else.. block.That's a better practice!
I was having the exact same problem with a project I was working on. All solutions I had found also mentioned using the textChangeListener
, however due to the nature of the list, and with an EditText
in each row view, this was very inefficient. I took a separate approach using the EditText.setOnFocusChangeListener()
.
I attached this to each EditText within the getView method. The reason this works so well is it is called when the user switches to a different edittext or scrolls so the current row is off the screen which causes the EditText
to lose focus.
In the onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) within the listener I simply put:
if (!hasFocus) {
EditText et = (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.groupAmount);
data.get(position).put("dueAmount", et.getText().toString().trim());
}
In my example I am storing the entered value into my data used to populate the views on each getView call, but this should still show how to access the data the User entered. Just make sure you attempt to take this stored data and try populating the editText at the corresponding position.
Hope this helps.
