How do I access to ListView from the adapter

Question

I have a custom ListView with my own adapter. I'm handling the click on a Button in my ListView's item, and I want the ListView to become invisible on this click.

I have no idea how to get access to the ListView from the adapter.

public class ScheduleArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ScheduleListItem> {      /*...*/     @Override     public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {         View v = convertView;         if (v == null) {             LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)c.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);             v = vi.inflate(id, null);         }         final ScheduleListItem o = items.get(position);         if (o != null) {          /*...*/                       Button details=(Button)v.findViewById(R.id.btn_details);             details.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {                 @Override                 public void onClick(View v) {                     //HOW TO MAKE (R.id.lv_schedule) TO BECOME INVISIBLE HERE?                 }             });         }         return v;     } } 

Answer 1

ViewGroup parent holds reference to the parent of the View returned by getView(), which in your case is your custom listview.

@Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {     ...     details.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {         @Override         public void onClick(View v) {             parent.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); // or View.GONE         }     });     ...     return v; } 

Answer 2

Instead of this you can pass the reference of your Listview through constructor of adapter and store that in local Listview variable. You can use this for access your Listviews method.Like this

public ViewPackagesAdapter(Activity mActivity, ListView cmgListView) {         this.mActivity = mActivity;         this.mListView=cmgListView;     } 

Now access Activity's Listview through mListView..
