How to set the ListView Rows Height

Question

I'm showing you the image below in which the height of the rows are not same i want the Rows should be of the same height.

In my program i'm getting the data from the XML service which i parsered and displaying the result on the list view but the height of the ListView Rows are not same.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:background="@drawable/list_selector"
  android:padding="3dip"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:gravity="center"
  android:layout_height="10dp">

    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="ITEM"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/txtItem"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textSize="15dip"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="#040404"></TextView>

    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="MANUFACTURER"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/txtItemTwo"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:textSize="14dip"
        android:textColor="#FF7F50"

        ></TextView>


</LinearLayout>

I'm already sets the height

android:layout_height="10dp"

but still not same when diplaying on listView.

This is my custom adapter for getVieew :-

 public class MyEventAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

     ArrayList < String > listTitle;
     ArrayList < String > listFullText;

     Activity activity;

     public MyEventAdapter(Activity activity, ArrayList < String > listTitle, ArrayList < String > listFullText) {
         super();
         this.listTitle = listTitle;
         this.listFullText = listFullText;

         this.activity = activity;
     }

     public int getCount() {
         // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         return listTitle.size();
     }

     public Object getItem(int position) {
         // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         return null;
     }

     public long getItemId(int position) {
         // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         return 0;
     }

     private class ViewHolder {
         TextView txtViewTitle;
         TextView txtViewTitleTwo;

     }

     public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
         // TODO Auto-generated method stub

         ViewHolder title;
         LayoutInflater inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();

         if (view == null) {
             view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.lview_row, null);
             title = new ViewHolder();

             title.txtViewTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtItem);
             title.txtViewTitleTwo = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtItemTwo);

             view.setTag(title);
         } else {
             title = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
         }

         title.txtViewTitle.setText(listTitle.get(position));
         title.txtViewTitleTwo.setText(listFullText.get(position));

         return view;
     }
 }

Anyone please me the proper way to getting the desired out result.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

the problem is that you are mis-using the inflator, don't give null as the root node

if you pass null as the root node, all the size parameters you set in the xml fail to work

the correct code is

view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.lview_row, parent, false);

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:background="@drawable/list_selector"
  android:padding="3dip"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:gravity="center"
  android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="ITEM"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/txtItem"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textSize="15sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="#040404"></TextView>

    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="MANUFACTURER"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/txtItemTwo"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:textSize="14sp"
        android:textColor="#FF7F50"

        ></TextView>


</LinearLayout>

If you are having more than one line in your text then set your text as single line so that it will not come in second line and change your height of each row.

Answer 3

override method getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) in your MyEventAdapter class and use view.setMinimumHeight(minHeight); to set minimum height of view.

set minimum height of view with in method `getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)' as following:

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    ViewHolder title;
    LayoutInflater inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();

    if (view == null) {
        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.lview_row, null);
        view.setMinimumHeight(minHeight); //set minimum height of view here
        title = new ViewHolder();

        title.txtViewTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtItem);
        title.txtViewTitleTwo = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtItemTwo);

        view.setTag(title);
    } else {
        title = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
    }

    title.txtViewTitle.setText(listTitle.get(position));
    title.txtViewTitleTwo.setText(listFullText.get(position));

    return view;    
}
