How to refresh Android listview?

Question

How to refresh an Android ListView after adding/deleting dynamic data?

Answer 1

if you are not still satisfied with ListView Refreshment, you can look at this snippet,this is for loading the listView from DB, Actually what you have to do is simply reload the ListView,after you perform any CRUD Operation Its not a best way to code, but it will refresh the ListView as you wish..

It works for Me....if u find better solution,please Share...

.......
......
do your CRUD Operations..
......
.....
DBAdapter.open();
DBAdapter.insert_into_SingleList();
// Bring that DB_results and add it to list as its contents....
                                            ls2.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(DynTABSample.this,
    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,                        DBAdapter.DB_ListView));
                                            DBAdapter.close();

Answer 2

on other option is onWindowFocusChanged method, but sure its sensitive and needs some extra coding for whom is interested

 override fun onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus: Boolean) {
        super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus)

       // some controls needed
        programList = usersDBHelper.readProgram(model.title!!)
        notesAdapter = DailyAdapter(this, programList)
        notesAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
        listview_act_daily.adapter = notesAdapter
    }

Answer 3

I was only able to get notifyDataSetChanged only by getting new adapter data, then resetting the adapter for the list view, then making the call like so:

    expandableAdapter = baseFragmentParent.setupEXLVAdapter();
    baseFragmentParent.setAdapter(expandableAdapter);
    expandableAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); 

Answer 4

You need to use a single object of that list whoose data you are inflating on ListView. If reference is change then notifyDataSetChanged() does't work .Whenever You are deleting elements from list view also delete them from the list you are using whether it is a ArrayList<> or Something else then Call notifyDataSetChanged() on object of Your adapter class.

So here see how i managed it in my adapter see below

public class CountryCodeListAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements OnItemClickListener{

private Context context;
private ArrayList<CountryDataObject> dObj;
private ViewHolder holder;
private Typeface itemFont;
private int selectedPosition=-1;
private ArrayList<CountryDataObject> completeList;

public CountryCodeListAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<CountryDataObject> dObj) {
    this.context = context;
    this.dObj=dObj;
    completeList=new  ArrayList<CountryDataObject>();
    completeList.addAll(dObj);
    itemFont=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "CaviarDreams.ttf");
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return dObj.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    return dObj.get(position);
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return position;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
    if(view==null){
        holder = new ViewHolder();
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.states_inflator_layout, null);
        holder.textView = ((TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.stateNameInflator));
        holder.checkImg=(ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.checkBoxState);
        view.setTag(holder);
    }else{
        holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
    }
    holder.textView.setText(dObj.get(position).getCountryName());
    holder.textView.setTypeface(itemFont);

    if(position==selectedPosition)
     {
         holder.checkImg.setImageResource(R.drawable.check);
     }
     else
     {
         holder.checkImg.setImageResource(R.drawable.uncheck);
     }
    return view;
}
private class ViewHolder{
    private TextView textView;
    private ImageView checkImg;
}

public void getFilter(String name) {
    dObj.clear();
    if(!name.equals("")){
    for (CountryDataObject item : completeList) {
        if(item.getCountryName().toLowerCase().startsWith(name.toLowerCase(),0)){
            dObj.add(item);
        }
    }
    }
    else {
        dObj.addAll(completeList);
    }
    selectedPosition=-1;
    notifyDataSetChanged();
    notifyDataSetInvalidated(); 
}

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
        long id) {
    Registration reg=(Registration)context;
    selectedPosition=position;
    reg.setSelectedCountryCode("+"+dObj.get(position).getCountryCode());
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}

Answer 5

while using SimpleCursorAdapter can call changeCursor(newCursor) on the adapter.

Answer 6

Call notifyDataSetChanged() on your Adapter object once you've modified the data in that adapter.

Some additional specifics on how/when to call notifyDataSetChanged() can be viewed in this Google I/O video.
