I'm working on an adapter that's supposed to display a list of items derived from an SQLite database. The ListView is embedded in a Fragment, populated in a custom adapter, sub-classed from a ResourceCursorAdapter. Iterating over the cursor and printing its content shows me that it contains a number of entries. However, bindView only gets called for the first entry, being the only one that's displayed in the ListView. What am I doing wrong?
This is the (stripped down) code:
Fragment XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/network_settings"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:baselineAligned="false">
<ListView
android:id="@+id/addresses_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Adapter list item XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/addresses_list_item"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/remote_ip_address"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.45"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/remote_port"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.25"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/address_protocol"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.2"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/delete_address"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="@string/delete_address"
android:src="@drawable/close"/>
</LinearLayout>
Fragment class (simplified, only containing onCreateView as that's where the adapter gets instanciated. The fragment itself works fine)
public class NetworkSettingsFragment extends Fragment {
private View mView;
@Override
public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.network_settings, container, false);
final SQLiteDatabase db = mActivity.getDatabase();
final ListView addressesList = mView.findViewById(R.id.addresses_list);
final String[] addrFields = new String[]{
SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry._ID,
SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry.IP_ADDRESS,
SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry.PORT,
SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry.PROTOCOL
};
final String sortOrder = SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry.IP_ADDRESS + " DESC";
final Cursor addressesCursor = db.query(
SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry.TABLE_NAME,
addrFields,
null,
null,
null,
null,
sortOrder
);
final AddressesListAdapter addressesListAdapter = new AddressesListAdapter(
getActivity(), R.layout.address_list_item, addressesCursor, CursorAdapter.FLAG_REGISTER_CONTENT_OBSERVER
);
addressesList.setAdapter(addressesListAdapter);
}
}
The adapter
public class AddressesListAdapter extends ResourceCursorAdapter {
final private static String TAG = "AddressesListAdapter";
private int mLayout;
public AddressesListAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c, int flags) {
super(context, layout, c, flags);
mLayout = layout;
}
@Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
return LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(mLayout, parent, false);
}
@Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
Log.d(TAG, "the view: " + view + "\ncursor: " + cursor.getPosition() + "\nnum items: " + cursor.getCount());
TextView ipText = view.findViewById(R.id.remote_ip_address);
TextView portText = view.findViewById(R.id.remote_port);
TextView protocolText = view.findViewById(R.id.address_protocol);
final long id = cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry._ID));
final String ip = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry.IP_ADDRESS));
final int port = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry.PORT));
final String protocol = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(SettingsContract.AddressSettingsEntry.PROTOCOL));
ipText.setText(ip);
portText.setText(String.valueOf(port));
protocolText.setText(protocol);
}
}
To answer my own question: It finally turned out to be a layout problem. What I hadn't considered was that my
Fragmentwithin which myListViewgets created within aScrollView(which was not part of the layout xml that I posted in my question. Within thatScrollViewa list of choices (links to various settings) gets replaced by myFragmentcontaining theListView. However, the originalScrollViewdoesn't necessarily fill the full height of the screen, so I just needed to set an attributeandroid:fillViewportto theScrollView's XML and set it totrue. That allowed theListViewto stretch to the bottom of the screen and the items, of which I first thought they weren't considered by my adapter, suddenly became visible.Here's the simplified source of the parent
