Android ui adapter
- 2. Topics • AdapterView & Adapter • AdapterView responsibilities • ListActivity, ListView, and ListAdapter • Spinner, SpinnerAdapter
- 4. What is AdapterView? • The AdapterView is a ViewGroup subclass whose child Views are determined by an Adapter that binds AdapterView object to data of some type. • Typically you are going to use subsclasses of AdapterView class instead of using it directly • Example subclasses of AdapterView class > ListView > Spinner > Gallery
- 5. What is an Adapter? • An Adapter object acts as a bridge between an AdapterView and the underlying data for that view. > The Adapter provides access to the data items. • The Adapter is also responsible for making a View for each item in the data set. • Types of Adatpers - they implements ListAdatper interface > ArrayAdatper > CursorAdatper > There are a few more
- 6. Adapter Class Hierarchy • BaseAdatper abstract class implements ListAdapter and SpinnerAdatper interfaces • ArrayAdapter and CursorAdapter classes are subclasses of BaseAdapter class
- 8. AdapterView Responsibilities • Two main responsibilities of AdapterView > Filling the layout with data (with a help from Adapter) > Handling user selections - when a user selects an item, perform some action
- 9. Filling the Layout with Data • Inserting data into the layout is typically done by binding the AdapterView class to an Adapter, which retrieves data from an external source (perhaps a list that the code supplies or query results from the device's database).
- 10. Handling User Selections • You handle the user's selection by setting the class's AdapterView.OnItemClickListener member to a listener and catching the selection changes // Create a message handling object as an anonymous class. private OnItemClickListener mMessageClickedHandler = new OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id){ // Display a messagebox. Toast.makeText(mContext,"You've got an event", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }; // Now hook into our object and set its onItemClickListener member // to our class handler object. mHistoryView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.my_list_view); mHistoryView.setOnItemClickListener(mMessageClickedHandler);
- 11. ListActivity class, ListView, ListAdapter (ArrayAdapter, CursorAdapter)
- 12. ListActivity Activity class • Android-provided class specially designed for displaying a list of items by binding to a data source such as an array or Cursor, and exposes event handlers when the user selects an item. > ListActivity hosts a ListView object that can be bound through an adatper to different data sources, typically either an array or a Cursor holding query results. > setListAdapter(ListAdatper adapter) method automatically creates ListView object from the ListAdapter object • Has a default layout that consists of a single, full-screen list in the center of the screen
- 13. Example of ListActivity Class public class HelloListView extends ListActivity { static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] { "Yemen", "Yugoslavia", "Zambia", "Zimbabwe" }; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Create an adapter ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>( this, // Application context R.layout.list_item, // layout description for each list item COUNTRIES); // String array of countries defined // Notice that this does not load a layout file for the Activity (which you // usually do with setContentView(int)). Instead, setListAdapter(ListAdapter) // automatically adds a ListView to fill the entire screen of the ListActivity. setListAdapter(arrayAdapter); } }
- 15. Spinner • A view that displays one child at a time and lets the user pick among them. • The items in the Spinner come from the Adapter associated with this view.
- 16. Example of Spinner public class HelloSpinner extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner); ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource( this, R.array.planets_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); adapter.setDropDownViewResource( android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); spinner.setAdapter(adapter); spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener()); }
- 17. Example of Spinner Layout <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="10dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="10dip" android:layout_marginBottom="10dip" android:text="@string/planet_prompt" /> <Spinner android:id="@+id/spinner" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:prompt="@string/planet_prompt" /> </LinearLayout>
