From this Activity i get text from textField and display it in a ListView. Now i want to to add check box on every entry in a listView Cell and also like to know how to display mor

Solution 1:

You have to use a BaseAdapter and some Getter/Setter methods to add multiple texts/images/other UI elements in each item of your list view.

You have to implement multiple things to get this result. Here they are --

1. Create a Custom Layout for each item of your ListView.

listview_item_layout.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/layout_textview1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="15sp"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/layout_textview2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="15sp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>

            <CheckBox
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:id="@+id/checkbox"
            android:text="Test"/>

</LinearLayout>

2. Create a custom class and add some Getter/Setter methods.

ListRowItem.java

public class ListRowItem implements Serializable{
String carrier,number;

public String getCarrier(){
    return carrier;
}

public String getNumber(){
    return number;
}

public void setCarrier(String ba_carrier){
    carrier = ba_carrier;
}

public void setNumber(String ba_number){
    number = ba_number;
}
}

3. Create a custom class and extend the BaseAdapter class.

   public class MyBaseAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
   
   public Context ba_context;
   public ArrayList<ListRowItem> listitem = new ArrayList<>();
   public LayoutInflater inflater;
   ListRowItem currentlistitem;
   
   public MyBaseAdapter(Context ma_context, ArrayList<ListRowItem> ma_listitem) {
   super();
   this.ba_context = ma_context;
   this.listitem = ma_listitem;
   
   inflater = (LayoutInflater) ba_context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
   }
   
   @Override
   public int getCount() {
   return this.listitem.size();
   }
   
   @Override
   public Object getItem(int position) {
   return this.listitem.get(position);
   }
   
   @Override
   public long getItemId(int position) {
   return (long) position;
   }
   
   @Override
   public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
   View vi = convertView;
   
   if (convertView == null)
       vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_item_layout, parent, false);
   
   TextView carrier = (TextView) vi.findViewById(R.id.layout_textview1);
   TextView number = (TextView) vi.findViewById(R.id.layout_textview2);
   
   currentlistitem = listitem.get(position);
   
   String str_carrier = currentlistitem.getCarrier();
   String str_number = currentlistitem.getNumber();
   
   carrier.setText(str_carrier);
   number.setText(str_number);
   
   return vi;
   }
   }
   

4. Finally, populate your ArrayList and set the Adapter in your MainActivity.

   ArrayList<ListRowItem> listitem = new ArrayList<>();
   Context context = TestActivity.this;
   MyBaseAdapter baseAdapter;
   
   ListRowItem lr = new ListRowItem();
   lr.setNumber(number);
   lr.setCarrier(carrier);
   
   listitem.add(lr);
   
   baseAdapter = new MyBaseAdapter(context,listitem);
   
   setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);
   listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_view);
   listView.setAdapter(baseAdapter);
   

Hope this helps!!
