I've just added a header to my ListView and I have to change a bunch of code because the header essentially becomes position 0 (Meaning the Cursor indices of my CursorAdapter do not line up with the indicies of the list. They are off by 1 now). Why? This seems a bit silly to me.
The only reason I can come up with is that a developer may want to access the header. Fine. Provide something like getListView().getHeader().
Android ListView is a ViewGroup that is used to display the list of items in multiple rows and contains an adapter that automatically inserts the items into the list. The main purpose of the adapter is to fetch data from an array or database and insert each item that placed into the list for the desired result.
This example demonstrates How to add header item for Listview in Android. 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.
Try this: my_listview. setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { } });
For some reason the position
(from the onItemClick
) is tied up with the number of items in the ListView
(not the adapter), including headers and footers. When you set an OnItemClickListener
you should retrieve the clicked item by calling listView.getItemAtPosition(position)
instead of adapter.getItem(position)
.
In fact, you should always use the getItemAtPosition
, because that way not matter if your ListView
has headers and footers, and if you add new headers you won't need to change your code.
And if you don't want your header to be selectable, you should add it in this way: listView.addHeaderView(headerView, null, false)
.
