Question

I wish to disable a line item for my ListView (using SimpleCursorAdapter with ViewBinder), but it doesn’t work:

public boolean setViewValue(View view, final Cursor cursor, int columnIndex) {
        int viewId = view.getId();
        switch (viewId) {
          case R.id.my_view_status_value:

int viewVal = cursor.getInt(columnIndex);

if(viewVal == 0) {
   //disable this line item
   view.getRootView().findViewById(R.id.line_item).setEnabled(false);
} else {
   //enable
   view.getRootView().findViewById(R.id.line_item).setEnabled(true);
}

When I remove else, it disables them randomly, when if-else exists, all are enabled. What is going on?

Answer 1

It seems, that view.getRootView() returns topmost view (probably ListView), which contains many lines and all of them have id R.id.line_item. So it may return pretty random view.
You can try get list item view using view.getParent()
