How can I switch adapter for a Gallery

Question

Is it possible for me to dynamically switch the adapter of a Gallery?

In the onCreate() of my activity, I did this:

myGallery.setAdapter(adapter1);

And then later on in my code, I did

myGallery.setAdapter(anotherAdapter1);

I tried, that but in the emulator, the myGallery never gets update when I do 'setAdapter' again. How can I force myGallery free up all the items when it was using adapter1 and then makes it repopulate items for anotherAdapter1?

Thank you.

Answer 1

you need to call notifyDataSetChanged() to the adapter

a.notifyDataSetChanged();

that will refresh your changes to the gallery view.
