Question

I have a listview with custom adapter which displays names from the contacts . currently its displaying them as

Rohit
Rahul
….

I want it to be like

1. Rohit
2. Rahul
   ….

i.e, number should be appended automatically . I tried doing that using a count variable in both bindview() & newview() method but it gets messed up when i scroll down and come back

the way I am setting text is

name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
contactName.setText(count + ". " + name);

Answer 1

try

name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
contactName.setText(cursor.getPosition() + ". " + name);
