I doubt whether you can access the list items as soon as you set the adapter. Correct me if i am wrong.

Try doing operations by adding any listener to the listview.

Try checking the childcount of the list view after you set the adapter. It would be 0.

Yes, we can access th child items. i achieved it by OnItemClickListener.

Here's the sample code.

So that solves the problem? Accessing the items in listeners rather than in onCreate(). Or you want that to be accessed in onCreate() only?

What i feel is, till the execution of onCreate() completes, the views wont be bound. so you will not be able to access the TextView within onCreate(). If you still want to access those variables outside the listeners, then try using Handler and post in in the queue for the thread so that onCreate() method execution is completed.

handlerInstance.post(runnableInstance);

Hi Prajakta,

I am facing a problem in list view, i want to add two buttons, say add and delete in list row and the same time i want to listen both button's click event with particularly list's on click event.

Here is the list design that would be look like,
+------------------------------------------+
| textview.............button1 button2 |
+------------------------------------------+
| textview.............button1 button2 |
+------------------------------------------+
I want to get click event of 1st row's button1's click event. Is it possible? In short i want to get view type on list's click event.

Thanks & Regards
Pratik Goswami

Hi Pratik,
first of all, it's not Prajakta, it's Prajakti....

Anyways,

I tried what you wanted to achieve but actually you can't handle Button Click events from list (I don't know the reason)

So for that i've used TextView instead of Button and the handled the events...

m attaching the files herewith for your reference....

Java File





main.xml





and test.xml




Hope it'd help you....

Hi Prajakta, (Sorry Prajakti )

Thank you very much for quick reply.

While running your given sample code i found that while clicking any button first time on a list row Toast doesn't comes up to screen. I have to click on list row fisrt and then only I am able to can get button's click event. I have to follow this procedure for all list rows. Are you getting the same problem?

Thanks & Regards
Pratik Goswami

Yes....
Because on the first click, we get View (v.findViewById())
and on the second click only we get the OnClick() event...... As far as i know, we've no option but to double click.........

Hello,

do you have sample codes / tutorials wherein a listview will display an Image and a Text at the side of the image.


Thank you very much.
