Question

I would like to display an icon in my ListView depending on the database value. I follow this answer to do so.
But in result nothing is displayed. Here is what I have in my row.xml:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:orientation="horizontal">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/movie_subscribed_icon"
        android:padding="3dip"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/star_off"/>

    <LinearLayout 
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:orientation="vertical">

     <TextView android:id="@+id/movie_name"
     ...

and here is the code:

    movies.setViewBinder(new SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder() {

        @Override
        public boolean setViewValue(View view, Cursor cursor, int columnIndex) {
          int viewId = view.getId();
          switch(viewId) {
          case R.id.movie_name:
                  int readValue = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MoviesDbAdapter.KEY_READ));
                  if (readValue == 1) { // viewed movie item
                      TextView movieName = (TextView) view;
                      movieName.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);
                  }
                  break;
          case R.id.movie_subscribed_icon:
              int subscribedValue = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MoviesDbAdapter.KEY_READ));
                  if (subscribedValue > 0) { // subscribed movie item
                      ImageView movieIcon = (ImageView) view;
                      movieIcon.setImageResource(R.drawable.star_off);
                  }
              break;
          }
          return false;
        }

      } );

I especially use the same icon in my code as default one.
What is wrong here? (I have star_off in drawable-hdpi and drawable-mdpi folders only)

Upd. the following code works well:

movieIcon.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.star_off));

Answer 1

I’ve found a solution in another question.

Basically the setViewValue() method
should return false until it is called
for your image view. Then it should
set the data in the view and return
true. The return value indicates
whether the ViewBinder set the view
itself or whether the adapter should
bind the data itself via its default
behavior.

Since I didn’t return true, it worked incorrectly.
Now it works perfectly.
