I'm trying to get data from EditText which is in my Listview. I saw a lot of similar questions & got a solution. But it throws an NPE in my Implementation.
So please guide me to fix this issue.
Adapter
public class Coscho_adapter extends BaseAdapter {
Context con;
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list;
LayoutInflater mInflater;
EditText marks;
TextView studname, acname;
public Coscho_adapter(Context co, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list1) {
list = list1;
con = co;
mInflater = (LayoutInflater) con.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return list.size();
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int arg0) {
return null;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int arg0) {
return 0;
}
@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if(convertView==null){
holder = new ViewHolder();
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.sc_item,null,false);
holder.marks = (EditText) convertView.findViewById(R.id.marks);
holder.studname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.stu_name);
holder.acname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.act_name);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}else{
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
int sno = position + 1;
holder.studname.setText(sno + ". " + list.get(position).get("DESCRIPTOR"));
holder.acname.setVisibility(View.GONE);
holder.marks.setText(list.get(position).get("STUDENT_MARK"), TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
int maxLength = 1;
holder.marks.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {new InputFilter.LengthFilter(maxLength), new InputFilterMinMax("0", "5")});
desc_ids.add(list.get(position).get("DESCRIPTOR_ID"));
return convertView;
}
class ViewHolder {
EditText marks;
TextView studname, acname;
}
}
Onclick
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if(item.getItemId()==R.id.add)
{
View v;
ArrayList<String> scho = new ArrayList<String>();
EditText et;
if (co_adapter.getCount() != 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < co_adapter.getCount(); i++) {
v = mListView.getChildAt(i);
et = (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.marks);
if (et != null) {
scho.add(et.getText().toString());
Log.e("SCH", et.getText().toString());
}
}
}
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
UPDATE using TextWatcher
Now i can store the value of the edittext in a Array. But when the listview is scrolled. The values are changed to the intial values.
public class Coscho_adapter extends BaseAdapter {
Context con;
LayoutInflater mInflater;
public Scholastic_adapter(Context context, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list1) {
sadap_list = list1;
con = context;
mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return sadap_list.size();
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return null;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if(convertView==null){
holder = new ViewHolder();
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.sc_item,null,false);
holder.marks = (EditText) convertView.findViewById(R.id.marks);
holder.studname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.stu_name);
holder.acname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.act_name);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}else{
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
for (int i = 0; i < arrScMarks.length; i++) {
Log.e("Array > ", i +"> "+ arrScMarks[i]);
}
int sno = position + 1;
holder.ref = position;
holder.studname.setText(sno + ". " + sadap_list.get(holder.ref).get("FIRST_NAME"));
holder.acname.setText(sadap_list.get(holder.ref).get("ACTIVITY_NAME"));
holder.marks.setText(arrScMarks[holder.ref]);
holder.marks.addTextChangedListener(new GenericTextWatcher(holder.ref));
return convertView;
}
class ViewHolder {
EditText marks;
TextView studname, acname;
int ref;
}
}
TextWatcher
private class GenericTextWatcher implements TextWatcher{
int position;
private GenericTextWatcher(int pos) {
this.position = pos;
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {}
public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
String text = editable.toString();
arrScMarks[position] = text;
Log.e("Watcher > ", position +"> "+ arrScMarks[position] );
}
}

Method you are using:
belongs to ViewGroup superclass and is going to return only currently visible items in your ListView (because they are recycled and there is no reason to keep all of them in memory). Try to set OnClickListener inside getView() method of adapter:
Please note, that creating new instance of OnClickListener for each item is usually not necessary and will cause some overhead. You can use single OnClickListener and tags to distinguish items.
Alternatively, you can use ListView's build in listener:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.OnItemClickListener.html
You need to remove TextWatcher from edittext before you set text in it
Replace this :
With this :
The way I would try first would be to add a TextChangedListener to the holder.marks, or you could add a button to save new value entered into the EditText.
When the text changes, I'd change the values in the list. Without this you will lose the data user when the list is scrolled as this line:
will re-write the studend mark that was originally in the list.
Edit: I'm putting the Adapter code I found in the link in case it becomes unavailable in the future.
New Edit:
Remove your GenericTextWatcher and use this instead. When I used your TextWatcher implementation it didn't work, I changed it like this and this works for me.
Listview's
getChildAt(i)
only returns value for Visible Items on Device not for all items inflated in Adapter so you will get all the view for items visible on screen of a device otherwise null. so try to fetch only visible items view's and to handleNullPointerException
you can make a check :try this one
