Android: CustomListAdapter
- by primal
Hi,
I have implemented a custom list view which looks like the twitter timeline.
adapter = new MyClickableListAdapter(this, R.layout.timeline, mObjectList);
setListAdapter(adapter);
The constructor for MyClickableListAdapter is as follows
private class MyClickableListAdapter extends ClickableListAdapter{
public MyClickableListAdapter(Context context, int viewId, List objects) {
super(context, viewId, objects);
}
ClickableListAdapter extends BaseAdapter and implements the necessary methods.
The xml code for the list view is as follows
<ListView
android:id="@+id/android:list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
This is what it looks like.
I have 3 questions
1) I tried registering a context menu for the list view by adding the line after setting the list adapter
registerforContextMenu(getListView());
But on long-click the menu doesnt get displayed. I cannot understand what I am doing wrong!
2) Is it possible to display a textview above the listview? I tried it by adding the code for textview above the listview. But then, only the textview gets displayed.
3) I have seen in many twitter clients that on clicking post a window pops up from the top covering only some portion of the screen and rest of the timeline is visible. How can this be done possibly without starting a new activity?
Any help would be much appreciated..
