passengerInformationPopup function i have to update the items values of the ListView .In on create continueBooking i have to check whether all the items are updated or not

Before Updation After Updation

Answer 1

Never update ListView items directly. Update data in your storage and call notifyDataSetChanged on your adapter.

Answer 2

You will need an ArrayAdapter with the data for your list. Then when you manipulate the data in that array you can call .notifyDataSetChanged(); on the adabter to refresh your view. Be aware that it have to be the same arraylist! so you cant call arraylist = new ArrayList(); that will destroy the reference. Instead use arraylist.clear(); and then arraylist.addAll(data);

Here is an example:

    public class GroupsListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Object> {

    /**
     * Constructor
     * 
     * @param context
     *            Context
     * @param objects
     *            Array of objects to show in the list.
     */
    public GroupsListAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<Object> objects) {
        super(context, R.layout.row, objects);
    }

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

        Object = getItem(position);

        /* Initialize strings */
        String nameText = group.getName();
        boolean upToDate = group.isUpToDate();

        /* Get the layout for the list rows */
        View rowView = convertView;
        if (rowView == null) {
            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row, parent, false);
        }
            rowView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                         //do stuff here
                    }
            });


        return rowView;
    }
}
