Question

I have a very strange problem while using my ListView.

Only a part of my adapter items are renderd in the listview on screen but when I interact with the listview (ie tries to scroll it) all items are renderd properly.

This fenonemon only occurs if i have less items than the screen can show. Take a look at these screenshots below.

Before interaction:

After interaction:

Source code of activity where adding items:

String[] jRests = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.j_restaurants);
        String[] lRests = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.l_restaurants);

        items = new ArrayList<Object>();
        items.add(getString(R.string.campus_j));
        for(String item : jRests){
            String[] val = item.split(",,,");
            items.add(new FoodSectionListItem(new Restaurant(val[0], val[1], val[2], "")));
        }   
        items.add(getString(R.string.campus_l));
        for(String item : lRests){
            String[] val = item.split(",,,");
            items.add(new FoodSectionListItem(new Restaurant(val[0], val[1], val[2], "")));
        }   

        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        adapter = new BaseSectionAdapter(this, R.layout.list_item_fragment_header);
        if(!isTabletView()){
            adapter.setSelectedItem(-1);
        }
        adapter.setItems(items);

Code of layout:

LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
            layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);

            FrameLayout listLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams listParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
            listParams.weight = 1;
            listLayout.setId(LIST_FRAGMENT_VIEW_ID);

            FrameLayout detailLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams detailParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
            detailParams.weight = 2;
            detailLayout.setId(DETAIL_FRAGMENT_VIEW_ID);

            layout.addView(listLayout, listParams);
            layout.addView(detailLayout, detailParams);

            if(savedInstanceState == null){

            FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

            ft.add(listLayout.getId(), (Fragment) listFragment, TWO_PANEL_LIST_FRAGMENT_TAG);
            ft.add(detailLayout.getId(), detailFragment);
            ft.commit();

            }
            setContentView(layout);

Answer 1

Solved it!!!

Problem was with the adapter trying to reuse the same section item. Not good!!!

Changed it to inflate the section item each time we hit a section!
