How can I implement a ListView without ListActivity? (use only Activity)

Question

I'm new to Android, and I really need to do it this way (I've considered doing it in another Activity), but can anyone show me a simple code (just the onCreate() method) that can do Listview without ListActivity?

THanks

Answer 1

If you have an xml layout for the activity including a listView like this

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"  android:layout_height="fill_parent">  <ListView android:id="@android:id/list"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"      android:layout_height="fill_parent"     android:layout_weight="fill_parent" 

Then in your onCreate you could have something like this

setContentView(R.layout.the_view); ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, myList); ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list); lv.setAdapter(adapter); lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {      @Override      public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> a, View v,int position, long id)       {           Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Click", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();       } });

Include the following resource in your res/layout/main.xml file:

<ListView   android:id="@+id/id_list_view"   android:layout_width="fill_parent"   android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> 

your_class.java

import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;  public class your_class extends Activity {   private ListView m_listview;    @Override   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)   {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);     setContentView(R.layout.main);      m_listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.id_list_view);      String[] items = new String[] {"Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"};     ArrayAdapter<String> adapter =       new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, items);      m_listview.setAdapter(adapter);   } }
