Question

I’m trying to use LayoutInflater in a loop, but each time one of these guys is instantiated, I need to modify at least 2 TextViews found within each instantiation. What i currently have at the moment instantates appropriately and adds the inflated xml view just like I want it to, but the result is that only the first instatiaton’s resources are getting modified, and therefore it just gets overwritten many times.

            LayoutInflater inflater;
            TextView eTitle;

            for(String[] episode : episodes) {

                //Log.d("Episodes", episode[0] + " / " + episode[2]);
                inflater = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                inflater.inflate(R.layout.episode_list_item, listView);
                eTitle = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.episode_list_item_title);

                eTitle.setText(episode[2]);
            }

Example output of my list:

• 04 – Episode 04
• Episode Title
• Episode Title
• Episode Title

where its supposed to look like this:

• 01 – Episode 01
• 02 – Episode 02
• 03 – Episode 03
• 04 – Episode 04

what do i need to do to ensure that im getting the corresponding unique textview id’s from my inflated layouts?

Answer 1

Why don’t you use ListView instead?

 LayoutInflater inflater = inflater = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

for(String[] episode : episodes) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.episode_list_item, null);
    mTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.episode_list_item_title);
    mTitle.setText(episode[2]);

listView.addView(view);

}
