Question

I have a number of objects which are fairly simple data style classes with many attributes with getters and setters for each attribute… an example might be along the lines of:

private employee ()
{
   private String firstName();
    private String secondName();
    private boolean disabled();
    private int yearsInService();

    //various Getters and Setters
    public String getFirstName();
    public void setFirstName(String name);

    public boolean getDisabled();        
    public void setDisabled(boolean value);        
}

These classes are populated via OrmLite/SQLIte
Some of these classes have 30 or 40 attributes.
My intention is to display these attributes in a grid/list of some kind to the user – ideally something with a description column and a value column, and that the user be able to select any particular attribute modify the value. Possibly like the Preferences screen only these aren’t preferences?

I’ve done a fair amount of searching and I’m not really getting a feel for the best solution at the moment. Should I be using Listview? It seems complex to get something like this set up.

If you want to use the ListView OR Grid for INLINE Editing you may experience certain issues like discussed here.

So the best option is to populate the data in a ListView & when the
user clicks to edit it, display a dialogue to them & provide the
EDITING functionality there.
