Question

I am trying to show some data in a ListView.
I created my own Adapter but it doesn’t seem to be working.

I put a break point inside the method “getView(..)” but it never reached it.

I am probably missing something simple but can’t figure it out.

package mpg.scoreControl;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import mpg.playerControl.MPGPlayer;
import mpg.playerControl.MPGPlayerControl;
import multiplayerGameControl.pkg.R;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.SlidingDrawer;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MPGGameScore {

    ArrayList<MPGGameScoreEntry> scores;
    protected class MPGGameScoreEntry{
        public String playerName;
        public int playerScore;
        public MPGGameScoreEntry(String playerName, int playerScore) {
            this.playerName = playerName;
            this.playerScore = playerScore;
        }
    }

    private class GameScoreAdaptor  extends BaseAdapter{


     private LayoutInflater mInflater;
     public GameScoreAdaptor(Context context) {
//        searchArrayList = results;
          mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
         }
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }


    @Override
    public Object getItem(int arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }


    @Override
    public long getItemId(int arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }


    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
          ViewHolder holder;
          if (convertView == null) {
           convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.playerscoresrow, null);
           holder = new ViewHolder();
           holder.tvwPlayerName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tvwPlayerName);
           holder.tvwPlayerScore = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tvwPlayerScore);

           convertView.setTag(holder);
          } else {
           holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
          }

          holder.tvwPlayerName.setText(scores.get(position).playerName);
          holder.tvwPlayerScore.setText(scores.get(position).playerScore);

          return convertView;
         }
    }

    static class ViewHolder {
          TextView tvwPlayerName;
          TextView tvwPlayerScore;
    }

    public void showCurrentScores(final  Activity context, SlidingDrawer sd){
        ListView lvwScores = (ListView) sd.findViewById(R.id.lvwScores);


        // Build arraylist with scores.


        scores = new ArrayList<MPGGameScoreEntry>();

        // Now fill it up with rows

        for (MPGPlayer player: MPGPlayerControl.getInstance().players)
            scores.add(new MPGGameScoreEntry(player.playerName,player.playerDetails.playerScore.getScoreInt()));

        lvwScores.setAdapter(new GameScoreAdaptor(context));

    }
}

Answer 1

You can’t return 0 in the getCount() method because this will tell your adapter that you don’t have any elements in the adapter:

      @Override
        public int getCount() {
           return  24 ; // I just put a number here,if you plan to use the scores      ArrayList as the data 
// of the adapter you should return here scores.size();     
    }
