Question
ok so i have an array adapted listview (the array adapting is done in another class).. i just got the click listener working for the list but now i want set it up so that when i click an item it pulls the strings from the clicked item and piggybacks them on the intent to a new activity.. i figure im supposed to use intent.putextra however im not sure how to pull the correct strings corresponding to the item that i click on.. my code is below.. im simply lost to be honest
//Initialize the ListView
lstTest = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.lstText);
//Initialize the ArrayList
alrts = new ArrayList<Alerts>();
//Initialize the array adapter notice with the listitems.xml layout
arrayAdapter = new AlertsAdapter(this, R.layout.listitems,alrts);
//Set the above adapter as the adapter for the list
lstTest.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
//Set the click listener for the list
lstTest.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView adapterView, View view, int item, long arg3) {
Intent intent = new Intent(
HomePageActivity.this,
PromotionActivity.class
);
finish();
startActivity(intent);
}
});
my alerts class..
public class Alerts {
public String cityid;
public String promoterid;
public String promoshortcontent;
public String promocontent;
public String promotitle;
public String locationid;
public String cover;
@Override
public String toString() {
return "City: " +cityid+ " Promoter: " +promoterid+ "Short Promotion: " +promoshortcontent+ "Promotion: " +promocontent+ "Title: " +promotitle+ "Location: " +locationid+ "Cover: " +cover+ "$";
}
}
anddddd my alertsadapter class..
public class AlertsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Alerts> {
int resource;
String response;
Context context;
//Initialize adapter
public AlertsAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<Alerts> items) {
super(context, resource, items);
this.resource=resource;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
LinearLayout alertView;
//Get the current alert object
Alerts al = getItem(position);
//Inflate the view
if(convertView==null)
{
alertView = new LinearLayout(getContext());
String inflater = Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE;
LayoutInflater vi;
vi = (LayoutInflater)getContext().getSystemService(inflater);
vi.inflate(resource, alertView, true);
}
else
{
alertView = (LinearLayout) convertView;
}
//Get the text boxes from the listitem.xml file
TextView textPromo =(TextView)alertView.findViewById(R.id.txtPromo);
TextView textPromoter =(TextView)alertView.findViewById(R.id.txtPromoter);
TextView textLocation =(TextView)alertView.findViewById(R.id.txtLocation);
//Assign the appropriate data from our alert object above
textPromo.setText(al.promocontent);
textPromoter.setText(al.promoterid);
textLocation.setText(al.locationid);
return alertView;
}
}
Solution 2
had an epiphany over the weekend about how to fix this problem and i finally found a good work around for my app.. i know it isnt optimal because i hard coded the number 100 into it but for my uses as of now i know i wont ever have that many list items..
i added these 2 bits of code to my alertsadapter class
int startzero = 0;
public static String[][] promomatrix = new String[6][100];
and
promomatrix[0][startzero] = al.cityid; promomatrix[1][startzero] = al.promoterid; promomatrix[2][startzero] = al.promocontent; promomatrix[3][startzero] = al.promotitle; promomatrix[4][startzero] = al.locationid; promomatrix[5][startzero] = al.cover;
startzero++;
then went to my homepageactivity class and added this to the click listener
Intent intent = new Intent(
HomePageActivity.this,PromotionActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("listitemcity", AlertsAdapter.promomatrix[0][pos]);
intent.putExtra("listitempromoter", AlertsAdapter.promomatrix[1][pos]);
intent.putExtra("listitemcontent", AlertsAdapter.promomatrix[2][pos]);
intent.putExtra("listitemtitle", AlertsAdapter.promomatrix[3][pos]);
intent.putExtra("listitemlocation", AlertsAdapter.promomatrix[4][pos]);
intent.putExtra("listitemcover", AlertsAdapter.promomatrix[5][pos]);
finish();
startActivity(intent);
and finally went to my promotionactivity (where i was trying to send the strings) and added this
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras == null){
return;
}
String listitemcity = extras.getString("listitemcity");
String listitempromoter = extras.getString("listitempromoter");
String listitemcontent = extras.getString("listitemcontent");
String listitemtitle = extras.getString("listitemtitle");
String listitemlocation = extras.getString("listitemlocation");
String listitemcover = extras.getString("listitemcover");
worked like a charm.. i hope this helps someone :)
OTHER TIPS
You need to use the onItemClick event's parameters
a full more readable param enum with param name is
(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id)
that means you have the pos
param that indicated the position in the adapter.
What you have to do is:
- jump to
pos
in the adapter - read out the values from the adapter
- use putExtra to signup for the intent
