I have a program that gets a remote xml file and creates a list

  • 0

I have a program that gets a remote xml file and creates a list view in android, i can pull the data from the xml but i cannot seem to place it in the right places. i have a custom layout but its not going in the right fields. how can i accomplish this? here is part of my code. its not working at the moment . thanks – in advance 

  // looping through all item nodes <item>
                for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
                    // creating new HashMap
                    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
                Element e = (Element) nl.item(i);
                // adding each child node to HashMap key => value
                map.put(KEY_ID, parser.getValue(e, KEY_ID));
                map.put(KEY_NAME, parser.getValue(e, KEY_NAME));
                map.put(KEY_COST, "Rs." + parser.getValue(e, KEY_COST));
                map.put(KEY_DESC, parser.getValue(e, KEY_DESC));

                // adding HashList to ArrayList
                menuItems.add(map);
            }

            // Adding menuItems to ListView
            ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, menuItems,R.layout.list_item,
                      new String[] { KEY_NAME, KEY_DESC, KEY_COST }, 
                      new int[] { R.id.status_data_user, R.id.status_data_msg, R.id.status_data_date });

here are the errors:

    I found the solution from this site: http://eureka.ykyuen.info/2010/01/03/android-simple-listview-using-simpleadapter/

    and this is what i found: 

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    ListView lv= (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listview);

    // create the grid item mapping
    String[] from = new String[] {"rowid", "col_1", "col_2"};
    int[] to = new int[] { R.id.item1, R.id.item2, R.id.item3 };


    // prepare the list of all records
    List<HashMap<String, String>> fillMaps = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
        HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
        map.put("rowid", "" + i);
        map.put("col_1", "col_1_item_" + i);
        map.put("col_2", "col_2_item_" + i);
        fillMaps.add(map);
    }

    // fill in the grid_item layout
    SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, fillMaps, R.layout.grid_item, from, to);
    lv.setAdapter(adapter);
}

    }
