in my listView i'm trying to divide (categorize) my data in to different section say i have a list of states and i wanna categorize them according to their Countries but what i have right now is categorizing my data Alphabetically and i have no clue how it is happening and how can i achieve what i want. can anyone guide me here ?
my adapter :
public class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements StickyListHeadersAdapter {
private String[] countries;
private LayoutInflater inflater;
private ArrayList<States> statesArray;
public MyAdapter(Context context , ArrayList<States> states) {
inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
satesArray = states;
countries = context.getResources().getStringArray(R.array.all_countries);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return statesArray.size();
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return statesArray.get(position).getName();
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
holder = new ViewHolder();
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view_row, parent, false);
holder.text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.listViewTextView);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.text.setText(statesArray.get(position).getName());
return convertView;
}
@Override
public View getHeaderView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
HeaderViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
holder = new HeaderViewHolder();
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.sticky_header, parent, false);
holder.text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.text1);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (HeaderViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
//set header text as first char in name
String headerText = "" + countries[position];
holder.text.setText(headerText);
return convertView;
}
@Override
public long getHeaderId(int position) {
// return the first character of the country as ID because this is what headers are based upon
return satesArray.get(position).getName().subSequence(0, 1).charAt(0);
}
class HeaderViewHolder {
TextView text;
}
class ViewHolder {
TextView text;
}
}
UPDATE :
what i want is right here but instead of Alphabets at Section there would be Country name and at rows there would be states of respective Country :
righ here
