I'm new here so i will try to explain my problems as good as i can.
I am trying to inflate a ListView into a View in my main activity. My main activity has some buttons and texts on the top of the Activity and there is enough space left for the listView. The listview is consisted of categories, represented as an imageView and a textview.
The problem im facing is that when i inflate the category_list_activity, the activity i created for the category list, two things happen:
The ListView takes over all the screen, which means i cannot touch neither the buttons nor the edittext, and also the ListView is empty.
I have created the Adapters needed and i have searched for some info here in stackof but i couldn't find any right answer.
Edit: due to solving the problem when the list was taking over the whole screen i remove the parts of code that is not needed. The solution was to change the inflated activity's (activity_category_list.xml) height from "fill_parent" to "wrap_content". I also restricted the show code to the parts i think there is the problem about not loading the categories.
here is the parts of code i wrote: MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
Activity a;
Button toogle_button;
Button go_button;
Button login_button;
EditText search_text;
View inflating_view;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
a = this;
inflating_view = findViewById(R.id.inflating_view);
ViewGroup parent =(ViewGroup) inflating_view.getParent();
int index = parent.indexOfChild(inflating_view);
parent.removeView(inflating_view);
inflating_view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_category_list, parent, false);
parent.addView(inflating_view, index);
inflating_view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Toast t = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "ListView clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
}
});
}
CategoryAdapter.java
private class Viewholder{
TextView category_text;
ImageView image;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
Viewholder holder = null;
Category category = categories.get(position);
if (convertView == null){
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = (View) inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_category, null);
holder = new Viewholder();
holder.category_text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.category_text);
holder.image = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.category_image);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}else{
holder = (Viewholder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.category_text.setText(category.getName());
holder.image.setImageURI(category.getImageUri());
return convertView;
}
}
CategoryListActivity.java
public class CategoryListActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
ListView category_list_view;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_category_list);
Log.d("Category List View", "Category list view is called");
category_list_view = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.category_list_view);
CategoryAdapter ca = new CategoryAdapter(getApplicationContext(),
TestValues.categories);
category_list_view.setAdapter(ca);
category_list_view.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Clicked Category" + parent.getItemIdAtPosition(position), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
});
Log.d("Category List View", "Everything is loaded");
}
activity_main.xml

<View
android:id="@+id/inflating_view"
android:layout_below="@+id/toggle_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</RelativeLayout>
I have checked the CategoryListActivity.java alone and it works as it was supposed to, so i think the adapter works right.
If you need any other information please let me know. Thanks in advance.
