Question

Here is the getView method of my class DownloadableProjectsFromWebAdapter:

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    View row = convertView;
    DownloadableProjectsFromWebHolder holder = null;

    if(row == null)
    {
        LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity)context).getLayoutInflater();
        row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);

        holder = new DownloadableProjectsFromWebHolder();
        holder.txtPid = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tvAllProjectsPid);
        holder.txtName = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tvAllProjectsName);
        holder.txtShareable = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tvAllProjectsShareable);

        row.setTag(holder);
    }
    else
    {
        holder = (DownloadableProjectsFromWebHolder)row.getTag();
    }

    String share_text;
    AllProjectListInfo li = data.get(position);
    holder.txtPid.setText("ID: " + Integer.toString(li.getId()));
    holder.txtName.setText(li.getName());
    if (li.getShareable()){
        share_text = "Public Project";
    } else {
        share_text = "Private Project";
    }
    holder.txtShareable.setText(share_text);

    return row;
}

The lines that are causing the issue:

35:    LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity)context).getLayoutInflater();
36:    row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);

Here the info from LogCat:

Here the calling the Adapter:

DownloadableProjectsFromWebAdapter adapter = 
    new DownloadableProjectsFromWebAdapter(
        getBaseContext(), 
        R.layout.all_projects_listview_item, 
        results);

And finally, the results definition:

List<AllProjectListInfo> results

Now, I copied this code from another place that where I use a custom adapter. However, that one works just fine. I don’t understand why this one doesn’t.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Instead of this (which is mostly wrong):

LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity)context).getLayoutInflater();

do this:

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
