I've read lots of tutorials from my manual and on the internet that explain the getView method, but I haven't understood why they use it. Could anyone explain it to me with some examples or snippets?
ArrayAdapter is more simple and commonly used Adapter in android. Whenever you have a list of single type of items which is backed by an array, you can use ArrayAdapter. For instance, list of phone contacts, countries or names.
This example demonstrates how to use ArrayAdapter in android to create a simple listview in Kotlin. Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml.
Attaching the Adapter to a ListView // Construct the data source ArrayList<User> arrayOfUsers = new ArrayList<User>(); // Create the adapter to convert the array to views UsersAdapter adapter = new UsersAdapter(this, arrayOfUsers); // Attach the adapter to a ListView ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R. id.
getItem()
returns the item's data object. It provides a way for you to access data in the adapter. For example, your array adapter holds string elements, getItem()
returns a string object.
