Question

I’m using a ListView in my app which contains some elements like textboxes and CheckBox in each list item. When I fill the first textbox the seventh one or any other random textbox automatically filled with the same value and same happens with CheckBox when I checked the CheckBox any other random CheckBox is also checked automatically.

I’m unable to figure it out why it happens.

My code below:

Listview content

<!--- add your MY problem code comment -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/hyList"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="35sp"
    android:layout_gravity="top"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TableLayout
        android:id="@+id/tbltab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="100" >    
        <TableRow
            android:id="@+id/rowfooter"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="35sp"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|bottom" >    
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txt_Hy_ID"
                android:layout_width="0sp"
                android:layout_height="35sp"
                android:textSize="1pt" >
            </TextView>    
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txt_HyID"
                android:layout_width="0sp"
                android:layout_height="35sp"
                android:textSize="1pt" >
            </TextView>    
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txt_Hy_Area"
                android:layout_width="200sp"
                android:layout_height="35sp"
                android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                android:gravity="left"
                android:textSize="8pt" >
            </TextView>    
            <CheckBox
                android:id="@+id/chkHyCondition"
                android:layout_width="60sp"
                android:layout_height="35sp"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:saveEnabled="true" />    
            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/editTxtHyRemarks"
                android:layout_width="120sp"
                android:layout_height="35sp"
                android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|left"
                android:gravity="center_vertical|left"
                android:maxLength="25"
                android:saveEnabled="true"
                android:textSize="8pt" >
            </EditText>
        </TableRow>
    </TableLayout>    
</LinearLayout>

and Listview

<ListView
   android:id="@+id/ListViewHy"
   android:layout_width="420sp"
   android:layout_height="100sp"
   android:layout_column="0"
   android:layout_span="3"
   android:clickable="true"
   android:saveEnabled="true"
   android:scrollbarSize="10sp"
   android:scrollbars="vertical" >
   </ListView>

I’m using this to bind my listview:

private void FillGridHygiene() {
    LstViewHy = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListViewHy);
    clsDatabase dbh = new clsDatabase(this);
    dbh.openDataBase();
    Cursor cursor;
    cursor = dbh.getGridData("030");
    dbh.close();
    if (cursor != null) {
        int cnt = cursor.getCount();
        if (cnt > 0) {
            startManagingCursor(cursor);
            try {
                // -----------BindingListView----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
                        R.layout.hygiene_list, cursor, new String[] {
                                Audit_FSD_Tab.KEY_ROW_ID,
                                Audit_FSD_Tab.KEY_ID,
                                Audit_FSD_Tab.KEY_SHORT_NAME }, new int[] {
                                R.id.txt_Hy_ID, R.id.txt_HyID,
                                R.id.txt_Hy_Area });
                adapter.setViewResource(R.layout.hygiene_list);
                LstViewHy.setAdapter(adapter);
                LstViewHy.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
                LstViewHy.setFocusable(false);
                LstViewHy.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.fillInStackTrace();
            }
        }

    }
}

The problem is in the design of your listview. You need to create a Custom Adapter and with the help of view holder and convertview recycle your views. Listview List view using baseadapter

This will help you in understanding the ListView concept and give an idea why – other random textbox automatically filled with the same value and same happens with checkbox when i checked the checkbox any other random checkbox is also checked automatically. Hope this will help you and help in designing your listview
