I used list adapter with map values as data. When I use adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
the data in the list not updating. But if I replace the Map with ArrayList everything working fine. Following is my adapter code.
public class CategoryAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
ArrayList<Category> list = new ArrayList<Category>();
Context context;
public CategoryAdapter(Context context, Map<String, Category> categories) {
this.context = context;
list.clear();
list.addAll(categories.values());
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return list.size();
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
final ViewHandler handler;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.category_list_item, null);
handler = new ViewHandler();
handler.name = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.name);
handler.count = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.count);
convertView.setTag(handler);
} else {
handler = (ViewHandler) convertView.getTag();
}
Category category = list.get(position);
handler.name.setText(category.getMenuName());
handler.count.setText(category.getCount() + "");
if (category.getCount() <= 0) {
handler.count.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
} else {
handler.count.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
return convertView;
}
}
and my activity code is
private void loadCategories() {
sampleDB = openOrCreateDatabase(AppConstants.DB_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE,
null);
Cursor menuCursor = sampleDB.rawQuery("select * from menu", null);
categories.clear();
while (menuCursor.moveToNext()) {
String menu = menuCursor.getString(menuCursor
.getColumnIndex("name"));
String id = menuCursor.getString(menuCursor.getColumnIndex("id"));
Category category = new Category(menu, id);
categories.put(id, category);
}
menuCursor.close();
categoryAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
in oncreate()
method I have declared adapter as follows
categoryAdapter = new CategoryAdapter(context, categories);
categoryList.setAdapter(categoryAdapter);
loadCategories();
Every time I click on refresh button it calls loadCategories();
method.
In the same code if I replace Map with ArrayList everything working fine.
Now My question is why List is not refreshing with Map values. Please give me clarification regarding this.
Thanks in advance.
