Question

I’ve a ListView. Each ListItem has three TextViews in it.

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:gravity="center">
        <ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/imageView1"
            android:src="@drawable/icon" android:padding="5dip">
        </ImageView>
        <TextView android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:padding="5dip"
            android:text="First">
        </TextView>
        <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1">
            <TextView android:id="@+id/textView2"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Second Text View" android:padding="5dip">
            </TextView>
            <TextView android:id="@+id/textView3"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Third Text View"
                android:padding="5dip">
            </TextView>
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Now, I had three ArrayList objects. Suppose those three have been loaded like. I had a parser for this already which makes three array lists from a single array list!

["Main One","Main Two","Main Three","Main Four"]
["Top One","Top Two","Top Three","Top Four"]
["Bottom One","Bottom Two","Bottom Three","Bottom Four"]

I want to load these ArrayLists into the List view. I had made a mockup of the expected output.

Is there any solution for this? I’ve tried to set ListAdapter on the same ListView one after another, but doesn’t seems work at all.
Thanks.

Try to add Values to class and access it.Here is some snippets

ContractTestActivity.java :

public class ContractTestActivity extends Activity {
private List<Contract> contracts = new ArrayList<Contract>();
public final String TAG = "ContractTest";
//public Contract newContract = new Contract();

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    ListView list;
    list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.mylist);
    ArrayAdapter<Contract> adapter = new ContractAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, myContracts());
    list.setAdapter(adapter);
}

private List<Contract> myContracts(){

    List<Contract> list = new ArrayList<Contract>();

    list.add(new Contract("Friend1"));
 
    return list;
}

}

Contract.java

public class Contract {

private String name;

public Contract(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
    return name;
}

}

ContractAdapter.java

public class ContractAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Contract> {


private List<Contract> contracts;

public ContractAdapter(Context context, int view, List<Contract> passedContracts) {
        super(context, view, passedContracts);
        contracts = passedContracts;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return contracts.size();
}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View currentView = convertView;
        LayoutInflater currentViewInflater = (LayoutInflater)getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        currentView = currentViewInflater.inflate(R.layout.deal_list, null);
        Contract currentContract = contracts.get(position);
        TextView text = (TextView) currentView.findViewById(R.id.text1);
        text.setText(currentContract.getName());
        return currentView;
}

}

For Inflated Layout deal_list.xml :

Create layout with Text View with Id as text1.
